It was also Stanford's first win over a top-10 team in Tyrone Willingham's tenure as the Cardinal's head coach (1995-00) ... Stanford built a 20-9 lead in the fourth quarter, but saw the lead disappear when the Longhorn's scored 15 consecutive points to take a 24-20 lead with 5:44 to play ... Backup quarterback Chris Lewis, who replaced injured starter Randy Fasani in the first quarter, hit DeRonnie Pitts for a 15-yard TD play with 1:12 remaining to put Stanford on top to stay ... Lewis, in only the second game of his collegiate career, threw for 214 yards and three TDs ...

Stanford has improved in all four defensive categories from 1999 and has gone from averaging 452.8 yards per game in total defense and 31.5 points per game to 359.3 and 24.7, respectively, in `00 ... The Cardinal defense has limited two of this three opponents to under 100 yards rushing (91 vs. Washington State, 13 vs. Texas) ... If you add last year's season finale - the Rose Bowl vs. Wisconsin - then the Cardinal has given up an average of 352.3 yards in total offense and 22.8 points in its last four games.
AGAINST THE RUN: Led the the Trench Dogs, Stanford's run defense has continued to get stingier over the past three seasons ... The defensive line, aka the Trench Dogs, is led by senior DT Willie Howard, the 1999 Morris Award winner as the top defensive lineman in the Pac-10 ... Stanford, which limited Texas to just 13 yards rushing, has improved from allowing 180.6 yards rushing per game in 1998, to 147.9 in `99 to 129.3 through three games in 2000 ... The Cardinal limited Washington State to just 91 yards on the ground in the season opener and held Texas to just 13 yards on the ground last week ...

Jamien McCullum has two TDs while Luke Powell, Casey Moore and Kery Carter each have one ... Stanford has scored one touchdown on the ground (Casey Moore, six yards vs. Washington State) and one on special teams, that coming on an Emory Brock blocked punt and 22-yard return vs. Texas.
>AGAINST THE BEST: According to this week's NCAA rankings of the toughest schedules in college football, Stanford is ranked eight in the nation with an opponent's cumulative winning percentage of .694 ... The rankings combine a team's past opponent's record and future opponent's record ... Still to come on the Cardinal's 2000 schedule are nationally-ranked teams UCLA, USC and Washington along with Notre Dame, undefeated Arizona State and Oregon State ... The only remaining opponent for Stanford with a losing record is California at 1-2 ... Four of Stanford's opponents are currently 3-0 (USC, Washington, Arizona State, Oregon State) ... Stanford's road games are at Notre Dame, Oregon State, UCLA and California ... The Cardinal has USC, Washington and ASU at home.
HOWARD LIVES UP TO PRESEASON BILLING: Fifth-year senior DT Willie Howard entered the 2000 season as one of the most highly touted defensive linemen in the nation ... Howard was tabbed as a First-Team Preseason All-American by Athlon and Second Team Preseason All-American by Street & Smith's, who also ranked him as the fourth best defensive lineman in the country ... Howard was on The Sporting News' and Street & Smith's lists of Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award candidates ... He proved the prognosticators right against Texas with a team-high seven tackles (four unassisted), two tackles for loss and a crucial eight-yard quarterback sack of Major Applewhite on 2nd-and-13 with 45 seconds remainng in the game ... He also played a major role in holding Texas to just 13 net yards rushing on 28 carries ... Thus far this season, Howard, who has made 37 consecutive starts dating back to 1997, has 14 tackles (nine unassisted), four tackles for loss (-16 yards) and two quarterback sacks (-14 yards) ...

He now has 35 career tackles-for-loss (-147 yards) and 19.5 career sacks (-114 yards) ... Last season, Howard emerged as the leader - both on and off the field - of Stanford's defensive line unit known as the "Trench Dogs" ... Howard finished third in the Pac-10 in both quarterback sacks (10, -60 yards) and tackles-for-loss (19, -79 yards) in `99 ...

PITTS LEAPS INTO THE SPOTLIGHT: Fifth-year senior WR DeRonnie Pitts is establishing himself as one of the top pass catchers in Stanford football history ... After catching 132 passes as the Cardinal's No. 2 wideout the last two seasons behind 1999 Biletnikoff Award winner Troy Walters, Pitts hasn't missed a beat as the Cardinal's top pass catcher this season ... His 15-yard reception, and subsequent dramatic leap into the end zone with 1:12 remaining proved to be the game-winning score in the Cardinal's upset of No. 5 Texas ... Pitts ranks ninth in the nation and first in the conference in receptions per game with 6.67 and has accounted for 40 percent of the Cardinal's receptions through week three - 20 of a possible 50 - for 247 yards and four touchdowns ... Pitts also leads the Pac-10 with four receiving touchdowns ... Pitts is also 36th in the country and fourth in the Pac-10 in receiving yards per game with 82.33 ... He had three catches for 62 yards and two touchdowns against Texas, a week after catching a career-best 11 passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns against San Jose State ... Pitts ranks tied for third in Stanford history in career touchdown receptions (20), fourth in career receptions (165) and sixth in career receiving yards (2,307) ... By the time the 2000 season is complete, Pitts will likely be second or third in every all-time school receiving category ... His breakout season was `98 when he caught 74 passes, which is tied for the third highest single season total in school history, for 1,012 yards and seven touchdowns ... Pitts' accomplishments have been well noticed, as he was ranked as the 18th best wide receiver in the nation by The Sporting News and 24th by Lindy's, and is on the "watch list" for the Biletnikoff Award.
PITS CONTINUES TO MOVE UP SCHOOL RECEIVING CHARTS: Fifth-year senior WR DeRonnie Pitts continued his climb up Stanford's all-time receiving charts in the upset win over Texas ... Pitts moved from ninth to sixth on the career receiving yardage list (2,307), tied for fifth to tied for third in career touchdown receptions (20) and tied for fourth to fourth in career receptions (165) ... Pitts, who was not among the school's top 10 in career receiving yards at the outset of the season, has already moved to sixth place and is just 175 yards shy of moving all the way up to second ... He entered the Texas game in ninth place on the receiving yardage chart, and passed Jeff James (2,265, 1984-87), Emile Harry (2,270, 1981-84) and Brian Manning (2,280, 1993-96) before the night was through ... Pitts' two touchdown receptions, including the game winner with 1:12 remaining, moves him into a tie for third with Justin Armour (1991-94) and makes him just the fourth player in Stanford history to catch 20 career touchdown passes (Ken Margerum, Troy Walters, Armour, Pitts) ... The Saginaw, Michigan native's three receptions also moved him into sole possesion of fourth place past Vincent White (165, 1979-82).
FASANI TO MISS ARIZONA GAME: Senior quarterback Randy Fasani (two years of eligibility remaining) is in his first season as the Cardinal's starting signal-caller ... Fasani left the Texas game in the first quarter with torn meniscus in his left knee, and will undergo arthroscopic surgery on Sept. 29 ... He will not play vs. Arizona, and his status will be further updated after the surgery ... In his three starts in 2000, Fasani is an impressive 37-of-71 (52.1 percent) for 664 yards with six touchdowns and just one interception to go along with a 155.7 pass efficiency rating ... Those numbers rank Fasani fifth in the nation and first in the conference in pass efficiency, 27th in the nation and second in the Pac-10 in total offense (232.33 yards pg) and tied for 28th in the nation and third in the Pac-10 in points responsible for (12.00 pg) ...

He led Stanford on a four-play, 59-yard drive in the final moments, capped by a 15-yard touchdown strike to DeRonnie Pitts with 1:12 remaining that gave Stanford the 27-24 win ... Prior to the Texas contest, Lewis appeared in one game (at Washington State) and went 1-of-3 for 6 yards ...

As a senior, Lewis completed 174-of-293 (59.4 percent) of his passes for 3,170 yards and 43 touchdowns ... He finished his career with a California state career record 107 TD passes to go along with 8,616 yards passing.
RIALL SACKS THE LONGHORNS: Fifth-year senior OLB Riall Johnson showed why he is one of the top pass rushers in the nation by recording three quarterback sacks in the upset victory over Texas ... Four of Johnson's five tackles were for a loss (-26 yards) in the victory, including the three quarterback sacks of Major Applewhite - two of them in the fourth quarter - for a total of -19 yards ... It also marked the sixth time in Johnson's career that he has recorded two or more sacks in a game ...

The big night against Texas gives Johnson 25 career sacks (-191 yards) and 38 tackles-for-loss (-228 yards) ... Johnson also had a banner year in `99 - tying for the 1999 Pac-10 lead in sacks with 13 (-108 yards) en route to second team all-conference honors ... He also ranked sixth in the Pac-10 in tackles for loss with 17 (-119 yards), to go along with 42 tackles (28 unassisted), two pass break-ups, one forced fumble and one safety ... In the preseason, The Sporting News tabbed Johnson No. 7 on their list of the nation's top outside linebackers while Lindy's had him at No. 14 ... Johnson's younger brother, Teyo, who was one of the nation's prized recruits, is the Cardinal's third-string quarterback.
WIRE MAKING MOST OF NEW ROLE: Senior Coy Wire was one of the Cardinal's top running backs in `98 and `99 before being moved to the defensive side of the ball this spring ... The change has paid off for the inside linebacker/safety, who is second on the team in tackles-for-loss (five), quarterback sacks (four) and tackles (19) ... Wire had a huge game against Texas, making a team-high seven tackles (six unassisted), two quarterback sacks and tackles-for-loss and one pass break-up ...

He also scored Stanford's only Rose Bowl TD on a one-yard run in the second quarter ...

BISELLI AIMS FOR LOU GROZA AWARD: Stanford senior placekicker Mike Biselli (two years of eligibility remaining), who was a First Team All-Pac-10 selection a year ago, is listed among the preseason candidates for the Lou Groza award, given annually to the nation's top placekicker ...

text: GoldenBearSports.com Fabikova Tops Manasse, Reaches Pac-12 Final Schutting and Chi Fall in Saturday's Semifinals at the Conference Championships By Cal Athletics on Sat, April 26, 2014 Related Links Pac-12 Results/Draws Pac-12 Tourn. Central Follow Cal on Twitter Follow Cal on Instagram Like Cal on Facebook OJAI, Calif. – Klara Fabikova survived a challenging Saturday for California at the Pac-12 Championships at Libbey Park, defeating teammate Maegan Manasse in the singles invitational semifinals to reach Sunday's final. Golden Bears Anett Schutting and Lynn Chi fell in the semifinals of the singles main draw as well as in the semifinals of the doubles main draw. In the semifinal battle of the Bears, the fifth-seeded and 85th-ranked Fabikova topped her freshman teammate Manasse – who was seeded second and ranked 60th – 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. The result evened the short series between the Bears, as Manasse beat her sophomore teammate, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, in the ASU Thunderbird Invitational semis last November. Fabikova will play USC's Giuliana Olmos at 8 a.m. in Sunday's title match in Ojai. "It's really exciting to see Klara make the final here," Cal head coach Amanda Augustus said. "She beat Olmos when we last played USC this season, and hopefully that experience helps Klara tomorrow." Cal had a chance to put two players in the main draw singles final. But Chi – a sophomore ranked 25th and seeded fifth – fell in her first meeting with UCLA's top-seeded/11th-ranked Jennifer Brady, 6-4, 7-5, and Schutting – a third-seeded/19th-ranked senior – lost in her first clash with USC's sixth-seeded/27th-ranked Zoë Scandalis, 6-3, 6-3. "For Lynn, it was her first time playing in the Pac-12 semifinals, and she fought really hard and created some opportunities for herself," Augustus said. "But I think Jenny just played a little better today. Lynn had a great week herself with some great wins. She's getting really confident as the season progresses, and I'm looking forward to seeing what she's going to do in the NCAA team tournament and hopefully in singles and doubles. "Anett played a lot of tennis this week in singles and doubles, and I think it caught with her a little bit today. Zoë is a great competitor. They had really long points and close games. Anett needs to be a little more aggressive sooner, but hopefully she'll get to see Zoë again in the NCAA tournament. Anett had some great results this week, fighting through some three-set matches. That's going to give her a lot of confidence going into the NCAA Tournament." Those same two Bears – ranked 42nd and seeded fourth – faced a rematch in the doubles semifinals. Chi and Schutting beat Stanford's ninth-ranked Kristie Ahn/Carol Zhao on April 19 in the Big Slam at Stanford. But this time the top-seeded Cardinal pair defeated the Bears, 8-3. "Ahn and Zhao came out aggressively," Augustus said. "The score doesn't indicate we were in every game. Stanford came up with just a couple better shots when they needed to. Lynn and Anett would've liked to have advanced to the final, but they got some good matches in this week. Making the semifinals of the Pac-12 Championships is a good accomplishment." In additional action at Pac-12s, Cal's Cecilia Estlander won two matches in the Sheila Invitational on Thursday. The junior shut out USC's Paige Keating, 6-0, 6-0, 6-0, and knocked off Stanford's Amelia Herring, 2-6, 6-4, 10-3. On Friday, senior Alice Duranteau, playing in the singles championship consolation bracket, fell to Colorado's Julyette Stuer, 6-3, 6-1. In the singles invitational consolation back draw, senior Kelly Chui lost to Washington State's Olga Musilovich, 6-3, 4-6, 10-5, on Friday.

"The Rise of Vision Systems: Turning Point for Robotics," a special report from Robotics Business Review, is now available, offering an in-depth look at how vision systems are revolutionizing robotics.
This report examines the technology behind vision systems, the key players in the market, and vision's impact on different sectors of robotics. The report also analyzes the vision industry's recent performance and expectations for the next three to five years, including major challenges ahead.
Jim Nash, analyst for Robotics Business Review and author of "The Rise of Vision Systems: Turning Point for Robotics," writes, "If previous generations of robots were typified

Oklahoma City Thunder: Serge Ibaka says he'll learn from missed putback
Serge Ibaka looked like he'd just been shot, as if somewhere high in the Toyota Center stands lurked a sniper, whose scope had been locked squarely on the front of his road blue No. 9 jersey.
After missing the game's most important shot Monday night at Houston, a stick-back attempt from point-blank range, Ibaka whipped his head back, and then his body, and then crumpled to the court.
As he remained on his backside, Ibaka put both arms over his head. He couldn't believe what he had just done.
He had just cost the Thunder the closeout game at Houston.
"It was tough. It was tough," Ibaka said Tuesday, a day later. "I wanted to try to save my team, and it didn't happen. It was tough for me."
On the list of Thunder players who didn't deserve to deal with that amount of agony, Ibaka ranked a close second to Kevin Durant.
The Thunder power forward has been the team's second best player in this series. He carried averages of 15.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.7 blocked shots into Game 4. He had been shooting 61.3 percent.
"It was my first time to be in that position, you know?" Ibaka tried to explain.
He continued.
"I didn't sleep last night, man."
Ibaka's teammates hurried over to help peel Ibaka off the court. Even in the immediate moments that followed the heartbreaking sound of the final horn, the Thunder made it a point to keep Ibaka's spirits' high.
"He felt he had the easy putback, and that was probably the case," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "But it's like I've said many times. You can play 100 possessions and a lot of times it ends up in the last possession and sometimes you think that's the possession that lost the game. But there's so many other possessions.
"That was a scramble play. It wasn't executed the way we wanted it to be. But when you have defenses that are guarding you, you're going to have to do things on the fly and you have to use your intelligence."
The play was drawn up for Durant.
Thabo Sefolosha inbounded the ball to the team's leading scorer and he went to work. But with Francisco Garcia smothering him, Durant couldn't create enough separation to go for a potential game-winning 3-pointer. He eventually had to pass to Reggie Jackson.
Jackson, after fumbling the pass, had little choice but to attack the basket when the clock showed just four seconds remaining by the time he got the ball under control. After beating his defender, Chandler Parsons, off the dribble, Jackson slithered his way into the paint only to meet Rockets center Omer Asik. The two met in midair. There was heavy contact. Jackson's took the bump and got a shot to the rim anyway.
It fell short.
"I thought Reggie did a good job of attacking," Brooks said.
Ibaka was left all alone after Jackson forced Asik to step up and challenge the initial shot. But only four-tenths of a second remained when Ibaka got his paws on the rebound. Not nearly enough time to catch, gather and go back up strong.
Ibaka instead batted the ball, almost volleyball style, back at the rim.
It hung on the back left of the rim for what felt like an eternity but in actuality was only a split second before, finally, it fell harmlessly off the cylinder and to the ground.
Ibaka looked sick as the ball trickled away, similar to his reaction in the Thunder's Game 6 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the 2010 playoffs.
"He had a chance to make a play and he didn't," Brooks said. "I like guys that care about winning and Serge definitely does. He plays with a lot of emotion and a lot of passion. But he's fine today."
Ibaka insists he'll learn from it.
"The good thing about it is we have one more game (Wednesday)," Ibaka said. "Like I said, for me, that was my first time to be in that position. It didn't happen, so now I know how it feels and I'm going to move on."

If you aren't already watching Breaking Bad, then… what are you waiting for? Maybe the show's biggest breakout star, Aaron Paul, can convince you in his interview with GQ. He jokes about the reason behind his hire because he's so "unbelievably charming," but I can believe it!
For example, during his interview, he insisted on "breaking the rule" of having people pay for his meals or shows or any other perks because he doesn't know why that's the case. Then he gushed over his fiancée, whom he "met at Coachella, became friends. And then a year later, we fell in love at Coachella. We ran off together at Coachella. You know, first kiss on the Ferris wheel sort of thing." Um, cutest meeting ever, right?
Despite having a ton of critical acclaim as Jesse Pickham, Paul doesn't know what he's doing after Breaking Bad ends in summer 2013. But hey, if you're Paul Thomas Anderson, Paul would "kind of beg [Anderson] to put me in a film. I don't care if it's as an extra, I'll do whatever."
The last season of Breaking Bad seems like it will be the best yet. Paul describes the most recent episode they filmed, which "seemed like we were working on a pretty big-budget film. It was the first time they took us away on location. Like, we were shooting in Santa Fe—set us all up, set the entire crew up at the hotels in Rock City."
Are you ready to say goodbye to Jesse? I know I'm not! In the meantime, let's get Paul some work, okay?

Hi all,
When I got into map making I found this forum soon after! Most of my maps are a fluff item for my D&D campaigns.
I found a lot of inspiration here on these forums as well as the great mapping elements which I was able to use for the following map.
Telrunya is supposed to be Elven for "Flanders", which is where I was born.
In this map you will find shorelines and borders from Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, India, regions from Africa and Prince Edward Island.
I made this map using Photoshop and various mapping elements from prominent members of this community. So thank you all for being such an inspiration.

MACHEREY-NAGEL 740895 NucleoSpin Dx Virus
Isolation of viral RNA and viral DNA from human plasma or serum samples – for in-vitro diagnostic purposes
The NucleoSpin® Dx Virus kit is a generic system for the isolation and purification of viral nucleic acids from human serum or plasma samples for subsequent in-vitro diagnostic purposes. The kit can be used with fresh and frozen human serum and plasma, stabilized with either EDTA or citrate from common blood collection systems. The kit is designed to be used with any downstream application employing enzymatic amplification and detection of RNA and DNA (e.g., RT-PCR, PCR). The viral nucleic acids isolated and purified with NucleoSpin® Dx Virus can be used in qualitative applications (e.g., RT-PCR or PCR for blood screening) as well as in quantitative applications (e.g., detection of viral load by qPCR) employing diagnostic nucleic acid amplification techniques.
NucleoSpin® Dx Virus is based on proven NucleoSpin® silica-membrane technology and provides an easy way to isolate viral RNA and viral DNA from 150 μl of serum or plasma samples. Purified RNA and DNA are ready to use for downstream amplifications like RT-PCR or PCR. The NucleoSpin® Dx Virus procedure is based on a series of simple steps: First, the serum or plasma samples are lysed in the presence of chaotropic salts. For the purification of viral DNA, Proteinase K is added to the lysis reaction. Lysis buffer and ethanol create appropriate conditions for binding of nucleic acids to the silica membrane of the NucleoSpin® Dx Virus Columns while Carrier RNA improves binding and recovery of low-concentrated viral RNA and DNA. Contaminations (potential PCR inhibitors) like salts, metabolites, and soluble macromolecular cellular components are removed in three washing steps. The nucleic acids are finally eluted in 50 μl low salt buffer or DNase-free water.

From The Hartford Courant Pursuing Vision of a College Town By Tom Condon May 3, 2009
It's hard to get more post-industrial than Westfield, Mass. It is called the "Whip City" because of the buggy whips that were made there when horsepower was measured by the horse. That of course was a long time ago. The town has nice neighborhoods and other businesses, but the moribund downtown suggests it hasn't fully recovered from the onslaught of the newfangled automobile.

Secret of Amazon's Market-Beating Success?
Techflash reports this week that Amazon.com posted a 9 percent net income gain in it's Q4 results. Despite current economic situation, Amazon.com is booming.
I buy a lot of stuff through Amazon, mainly because I like the user experience. I find the buying experience better than anything else out there, bricks or mortar. If I recall, Amazon utilize a Darwinian system of serving differing website versions simultaneously. I would love clarification, if anyone has a link.
Apple also reported significantly improved profit up from the same quarter last year.
Is this a trend? I'd love to hear more examples, if you know them, of user experience focussed companies bucking the downward trend.

Recap | Final Stats | Quotes | Photo Gallery
LOS ANGELES - With today's 90-74 win over Oregon in the quarterfinals of the Pac-10 Tournament, California gained its first five-game winning streak of the season and the Golden Bears have won eight of their last nine games. Cal beat Oregon three times this season 89-57 in Berkeley and 64-49 in Eugene. The margin of victory in this season's three-game series was 21.0 points.
Pac-10 Player of the Year Jerome Randle led Cal with 22 points (8-10, 4-5, 2-2). It's his 15th 20-point outing of the season and the 34th of his career. The Golden Bear came out roaring at the outset of the contest, scoring the team's first seven points with a steal. Randle was perfect in the first half, going 8-for-8 from the field, including 4-for-4 from three-point range and 2-for-2 from the free throw line before halftime.
The Bears were on fire from three-point range, finishing 11-for-20 for the game. Patrick Christopher went 5-for-9 from behind the arc. Christopher also led Cal with five assists, which was a new season high.
No. 2 on Cal's all-time scoring list, Randle is now just 10 points behind Sean Lampley on the school's all-time points list after racking up 22 on Thursday. Randle has 1,766 points. Christopher is one point shy of Kevin Johnson for fifth on the all-time scoring list. Christopher finished with 21 points today, his 32nd career 20-point performance.
After only playing five minutes in the first half due to two quick personal fouls, Boykin scored all 15 of his points in the second half, shooting 7-for-9 from the field.
The Bears set three school Pac-10 Tournament records on Thursday. The 33 field goals made was a new school tournament record. In blocks, Max Zhang set the individual record with his three on the afternoon, tying his career high. Cal also set the team school record in blocks with six. Omondi Amoke tied his career high in blocks with two.
Amoke was also stellar on the boards, notching nine on the afternoon, to go go with his 12 points. It was the fifth time this season that he reached double figures in scoring.
Cal will play UCLA in the semifinals Friday at 6 p.m. The teams split the season series with the road team winning each encounter. In the Pac-10 Tournament, Cal is 2-3 all-time vs. UCLA. They last met in the quarterfinals of the 2008 tournament, with UCLA winning, 88-66.
Cal now boasts an all-time Pac-10 Tournament record of 10-12, and this is the fourth time the Bears have reached the semifinals since the tournament resumed in 2002 (2002, 2003, 2007).
This is the fourth time this year that both Christopher and Randle have scored at least 20 points in the same game - UC Santa Barbara (Christopher 25, Randle 23), at Washington State (Christopher 21, Randle 39) and at Arizona State (Christopher 21, Randle 25).
Each of Cal's last eight wins have been by at least 10 points, starting with the 72-58 victory at UCLA Feb. 6.
If Cal beats the Bruins tomorrow, it will mark the third time since 1960 that the Bears won at least 23 games. The 1996-97 and 2001-02 Cal squads won a total of 23 games. The 1960 Cal squad won a total of 28 games.

AdMob: Half of iPhone users buy paid apps every month
Consumers on the iPhone and Android platforms exhibit similar activity levels, downloading roughly the same total number of applications and spending about the same amount of time using them, according to mobile advertising firm AdMob's January 2010 Mobile Metrics Report. However, AdMob reports that iPhone users continue to download more paid apps than other smartphone users, with 50 percent of iPhone owners purchasing at least one premium app per month, compared to 21 percent of Android users.
iPod touch owners download an average of 12 applications a month, 37 percent more than iPhone and Android users who download roughly nine new apps each, AdMob notes. By comparison, Palm webOS users downloaded an average of six applications per month. While iPod touch users devote an average of 100 minutes per day to using applications, webOS users spend an average of 87 minutes per day, followed by Android users at 80 minutes and iPhone users at 79 minutes per day. Seventy-three percent of Android users are male, compared to 56 percent of iPhone OS users; the average iPhone user is 14 years older than the average iPod touch user, 78 percent of whom are under age 24.
The iPhone represented 47 percent of U.S. smartphone usage across the AdMob network in January, followed by Android (39 percent), BlackBerry (7 percent) and webOS (3 percent). The AdMob report also notes the growth of web-enabled hardware, stating that about 17 percent of January's mobile ad requests originated via non-phone devices, compared to 12 percent in July 2009. Among consumers asked if they own a mobile Internet device or plan to purchase one within the next six months, iPhone users showed the highest level of interest in purchasing an iPad at 16 percent, compared to 11 percent of webOS users and just 6 percent of Android users--about the same percentage who expressed interest in buying an Amazon Kindle ereader.

Ted Lilly designated for assignment one day after coming off DL
More MLB: Scoreboard | Standings | Probable Pitchers | Sortable Stats | Odds
Just one day after being activated off the 15-day DL, left-hander Ted Lilly has been designated for assignment by the Dodgers. Utility man Elian Herrera was recalled from Triple-A to fill the roster spot.
Lilly, 37, was activated off the DL on Wednesday after missing more than a month with cartilage damage in his neck. He also missed roughly three weeks with a ribcage problem earlier this season as well. Lilly had surgery to repair his labrum last May and started this season on the DL.
In five starts around the injuries, Lilly went 0-2 with a 5.09 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 23 innings. He made only eight starts last year before the shoulder procedure. Lilly went 12-14 with a 3.97 ERA with Los Angeles in 2011, his last full, healthy season. He made at least 25 starts every year from 2003-11.
The Dodgers are still on the hook for remainder of Lilly's $12 million salary. He will certainly clear waivers at that price and is likely to become a free agent rather than report to Triple-A. Given his track record, Lilly figures to draw some interest on the open market. Pitching needy clubs like the Padres, Giants and Nationals could get involved.
Herrera, 28, played in three games for the Dodgers earlier this year. He hit .251/.340/.332 (87 OPS+) with one home run and four steals while playing six positions in 67 games for Los Angeles in 2012. Herrera hit .290/.375/.384 with six homers in 80 Triple-A games before being recalled.

Fine time to spring this on people, with a new billing cycle right around the corner. Seems a lot of people hearing about this are complaining that their banks don't support this at all. I haven't even had a chance to check mine yet.
Close reading of the announcements (and some info people have been getting from the information center) suggests this is going to grandfather in everyone's current payment info and credit cards; you just won't be able to change your payment info until you have a qualifying card...

My Carrier Weather Maker 58SXC furnace seems to quit when the temperature outside drops to about minus 10C (14F) or below. It will start, shut itself down after about 15-20 minutes, run again for 5 to 7 minutes, shut itself down, start again, run for a couple of minutes and shut itself down for good. Then I have to reset the furnace by switching the power to the furnace off and on. Then the cycle starts again. All this time the thermostat is calling for heat. If the room temperature is around the thermostat set point, it runs OK, starting and stopping as it should to maintain the set temperature. I disconnected the outside air supply and started the furnace on inside air and it ran for 4 hours before it shut itself down while the thermostat was still calling for heat. I noticed that in running it on inside air it took a lot longer to heat the place. The limit switch and the pressure switch were changed: it did not help. The board self-test indicates no problems. Has any one encountered this? Any suggestions? I had heard that high efficiency furnaces were prone to operating trouble when the outside temperaturee reached certain lows (or perhaps at certain temperature differentials between inside and outside) but I can't find any references....

A New Zealand Court has lightened some of the restrictions on Megaupload founders Kim Dotcom, Mathias Ortmann, Bram van der Kolk and Finn Batato. Noting the four had "behaved commendably" since their release from jail, North Shore District Court Judge David Harvey granted Dotcom access to the Internet, limited access to a swimming pool near his home (that he owns) and two trips each week to Roundhead Studios in Auckland to finish an album. Yes, Dotcom is making a music album. Dotcom was released from jail in March, but had a number of heavy restrictions put on him.
The judge also granted co-defendants Batato, Ortmann and Van der Kolk permission to travel to Dotcom's home once a week for a visit of up to six hours so that they can work on a defense.
They four defendants face charges of conspiracy to commit racketeering, conspiracy to commit money-laundering, copyright infringement and aiding and abetting copyright infringement.
An extradition hearing is planned for August for Dotcom.

Jasso, a resident of the Helena area since 2004, penned his work of biographical fiction, in where he uses fictionalized characters to tell the story of many aspects of his personal life experiences.
I Will Fight Nevermore brings to life the story of Lucas Hustle, a fictional character based on Jasso's life that grows up in Corpus Christi and McAllen and struggles with the age-old questions of who he is and what his place in the world is, as well as his inner struggles of "what is wrong with me."
Hustle joins the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War-era and is soon shipped off to war in a foreign land, where the experiences and memories leave deep emotional scars of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and compound the struggles of adapting to normal life after the war and military service.
The story is a combination of a coming-of-age, of military life; and of combating the inner-wars of childhood pain, anger, depression, alcoholism and finally finding love and personal redemption in the end.
"My main issue, and of course I could be wrong, is that I am of the opinion that we are losing most of our culture," said Jasso regarding his reasons for writing the book. "What motivated me to write this book is to relate some of our history. My objective is to preserve some of our history."
Jasso did grow up in McAllen and Corpus Christi and joined the Texas Army National Guard as a young man during the height of America's involvement in the Vietnam War. Jasso eventually joined active-duty Army and served from 1969 through 1978, and did a tour of duty in Vietnam at that time.
Jasso is an active education advocate and promoter of the importance of literature and learning, both classical and modern.
Jasso relates his hope that his book and writings might help other military veterans as well as other people in general in dealing with the issues many of them often face and have difficulty confronting.
"Know that my book is a we thing," said Jasso. "It is about us. There could be something in my book that a fellow veteran might identify with certain actions."
I Will Fight Nevermore can be purchased through Barnes and Noble or Amazon.com or by visiting Jasso's website at www.lucasjasso.com and emailing email@example.com.

The tagging schema for a proposed site is important too, and voting on questions with tags will help to shape it.

Maya Kroth

, SignOnSanDiego
This month: Brad Lee
What he does:
Label head
Where he works:
Loud+Clear Records
Brad Lee came to our attention when he made a splash—literally—at last year's San Diego Music Awards. The then-24-year-old musician had recently relocated his Loud+Clear record label to San Diego from Santa Barbara and was at the show in hopes that his band, Comfortable for You, would walk away with that year's award for Best Punk Album. After losing to blink-182, the band got "fairly inebriated," Lee recalls. "I think there was something along the lines of chasing down [host] Troy Johnson and trying to wrestle him. It ended with a swim in the harbor. That was memorable. Somewhat regrettable, but very memorable."
A year later, the memories of members of the San Diego Music Awards' voting academy proved long with regard to Loud+Clear—in a good way. When 2005's nominations were revealed, L+C bands were well represented, with Manuok, Comfortable for You and Goodbye Blue Monday all earning nods for their work.
Though Comfortable for You has since gone the way of the dinosaur, Lee maintains a three-pronged support of the scene in his adopted hometown by running Loud+Clear, working at online merchandise purveyor Merch Lackey (which sells T-shirts and CDs for the likes of Dashboard Confessional, Louis XIV and the Casbah) and playing bass in Manuok.
We tracked down the articulate, ambitious and well-inked label head for a "Scenemakers" Q&A; at the Ould Sod. Over a couple of frosty pints, Lee revealed what would be spinning in his iPod (if he had one), which local band is poised for world domination and how he fell in love with Axl Rose.
Does running a label give you a different perspective on the industry than just being a musician?
Definitely. Being the head of a label, you're at the crux of art and capitalism, and you unfortunately have to worry about sales. Selling records has been the ultimate challenge; it's introduced me to every facet of promotion and distribution and every little nook and cranny of the music industry. It can put you in a difficult position at times, but you make do and try to maintain artistic integrity.
What's the best part of your job?
Traveling. Making friends with the different artists I've worked with, and getting to travel with them. Seeing the whole country with some of your best friends is priceless.
And the worst part?
I want to have [the bands that I work with] on MTV tomorrow, selling millions of records, because obviously I love the music. I wish I could spend all day, every day working on each individual band, but with my own time being limited, it's really hard to pick and choose what band to push and at what time.
What was the first record that totally blew your mind?
Appetite for Destruction
." I was 7 years old and my older sister made me buy it, 'cause I had money at the time and she didn't. I don't know how I had money when I was 7 years old, but anyway ... I remember listening to it in my room with the volume down 'cause I didn't want my mom to hear the bad words. Ever since then I thought being a rock star was the coolest thing. Axl Rose is my first love, I think.
What's getting the most spins in your iPod right now?
I don't have an iPod yet, but I'm listening to a lot of
Pedro the Lion
, pretty much the entire
catalog. There's also a new San Diego band that's very young; I don't want to divulge their name yet, but people will hear about them soon, hopefully. I don't want any other labels picking up on the scent and getting in there!
What differentiates San Diego's music scene from other cities'?
Everyone does interesting, unique things with their similar influences, and it makes for a really diverse yet unified sound. Seattle or Portland or New York [seem to have] very genre-based scenes. In San Diego you can't say [it's all about] electronica [or] indie rock [or] punk. It's San Diego, and it's unique, it's different, it's weird. I think that broad-based creativity is what gives San Diego most of its energy.
Getting spins on Lee's stereo: Pedro the Lion
Which local bands does the world need to watch out for this year?
If [
The Album Leaf
] continues to work as hard as they have, I think they'll continue on the path towards world domination. I think
has a really good chance to break out, but I do play in that band so I'm a little bit biased.
Sleeping People
[is] hands down the best band in San Diego right now.
What are some things bands don't understand about the process of putting out a record?
People [don't] know how much work has gone into a record before it becomes available to the public. You have to plan for a release at least six months before it hits shelves, and often I'll work on a record for a year before it hits stores. There's so much that comes after the songs are written. [You have to book] the producers you want to work with ahead of time. [You have to] book a tour three months ahead. You have to take into account radio, promotion, press, distribution, all the different things you have to send to stores, like posters, postcards, stickers, T-shirts. That's really hard for bands. They want the record to be pressed the day after it's recorded. They want to do everything right now.
What advice do you have for bands, besides plan ahead?
Do it yourself. Don't wait for a record label to come along and book a tour for you or make a CD. If a band has never toured, never done their own recording, and they're just kind of sitting around waiting for somebody, that band is not a success from the business standpoint. It's hard for me as a label guy to take nothing and mold it into something. If they have their own momentum, are doing their own stuff, booking their own tours, then I can come and add to the work they're already doing as opposed to doing all the work for them.
If you're not getting signed, start your own label. All you gotta do is press a CD and try to sell it. Even if it's four guys in their garage, hand-stamping and folding cardboard sleeves, when it comes to whoever's attention, it's on a label. That just looks better [than] some guys who burn a CD-R and say, "Hey, this is my band, check it out." If you're gonna make your own CDs anyway, just make up a record label name and do it yourself. It gives you a starting base and helps whoever's gonna work with you in the future to add to your success rather than create it.
Suggest a Scenemaker
for a future edition.

Oops. A minimum bid (the least you must bid) is not usually the same as a reserve price (the least you must pay to win), though I guess it could be. I need to get an auction theory book.

Professor Picker offers a brilliant critique of a company that I love. I understand the three-pronged critique as follows.

Google is more or less a monopolist in the search engine arena. As such, we are worried that it will extract monopoly rents from its main customers- advertisers that buy keywords or buy Google ads that are displayed on other sites. It will charge advertisers more for showing their ads than it would have if other competing search engines could offer those advertisers a cheaper price.

These advertisers buy ads on Google because they expect to attract customers to their advertised products (say a research paper or a car). The ads typically show up on the right-hand side when you run a Google search.

Monopolies like Google can extract exorbitant prices from their customers. However, Google-the-monopolist says that it doesn't use its monopoly power, since it sells all its ads via auctions.

Loosely, an auction market is supposed to be a perfect free market. The monopolist auctioneer has no opportunity to set prices. The bidders at the auction compete with each other in how much they are willing to pay. That is, the customers (bidders, here Google-ad buyers) rather than the producers (auctioneers, here Google) decide the price. Monopoly problem solved.

Here are the problems with the happy auction story:

(1) Google sets minimum bids ("reserve prices" in auction talk) so that people who bid on particular keywords still don't get the those keywords after winning the auction. That is, Google doesn't reward the winning bidder if the winning bid is "too low."

(2) Google limits the quantity of ads that show up for any search. It controls the number of "slots." For example, if 15 people won 15 different auctions, and every keyword they bid on appears on a specific search query, you would expect all of them to show up with the search results. Every advertiser would get what s/he paid for. Instead, only a subset of the keyword ads show. Perhaps the bidder doesn't get her money's worth.

(3) Google forces two other entities to bundle its services with theirs: ASK and AOL are the victims (or more accurately, their consumers are). Here, the theory is that bundling allows Google to sell its services in areas where it would otherwise be uncompetitive. The customer who likes AOL but hates Google may still end up using Google services, because he likes AOL + Google more than any alternative.

I don't understand auction theory well, but I suspect that setting reserve prices (criticism # 1) could help reduce the opportunities for other bidders to collude against or intimidate a bidder that would otherwise win. It would guarantee incremental bidding. If the reserve price were unknown and random, then the rightful winner wouldn't care, but colluders and intimidators might be deterred, because they wouldn't know where their chicken game might land them. Below the reserve price they would pay nothing, but above it, they would pay a whole lot. And since they don't know the reserve price, they will suspect that Google keeps changing that price arbitrarily. Thus, any potential colluders or intimidators will be forced to bid incrementally rather than aggressively. Incremental bidding (enforced by the random reserve price) might ensure that other bidders are not scared off.

Second, limiting the number of slots (criticism # 2) could increase the value of every individual ad to the advertisers, because a glut of ads might make each individual ad relatively worthless. A random display of ads (where the ad you paid for shows up only sometimes) may help all advertisers on net, because it avoids the glut problem that would make all ads (and Google itself) less attractive. Put differently, unlimited ads could create a tragedy of the commons. Limited (but randomly assigned) slots might avoid this problem.

Bundling (criticism # 3) also appears to be a serious charge, but I suppose if there is no independent market for AOL and ASK services (that is, a market apart from their search services where they compete with others, say in e-mail or social networks) then we don't have a problem. If no one would buy their e-mail or other services without their search services, then we are not hurting them by bundling those unmarketable services with Google.

These are all highly speculative points but I was fascinated by the discussion.

Traditional methods of collecting translation and paraphrase data are prohibitively expensive, making the construction of large, new corpora difficult. While crowdsourcing offers a cheap alternative, quality control and scalability can become problematic. We discuss a novel annotation task that uses videos as the stimulus which discourages cheating. In addition, our approach requires only monolingual speakers, thus making it easier to scale since more workers are qualified to contribute. Finally, we employ a multi-tiered payment system that helps retain good workers over the long-term, resulting in a persistent, high-quality workforce.We present the results of one of the largest linguistic data collection efforts to date using Mechanical Turk, yielding 85K English sentences and more than 1k sentences for each of a dozen more languages.

We're in the process of migrating our users over to Zimbra. One of the users that we migrated was trying to setup a filter and ran into what I would consider a bug. He was trying to forward messages with a certain subject line to another user or group of users. When he filled in the "Forward to" box he made a mistake; he used the users full name instead of an email address. The filter dialog box allowed him to save the filter like this. OK, obviously the filter is not going to work, but beyond that by having this filter in place and activated he could no longer receive email. The /var/log/maillog and /opt/zimbra/mailbox.log showed entries like this:
Users being users, especially new ones, they are bound to make mistakes. I think the system should either warn the user of a bad filter, or the filter should just not work. It shouldn't totally stop email from being delivered.Mar 8 10:41:27 email postfix/lmtp[22188]: 13C2B608795: to=<email@example.com>, relay=email.brosco.com[126.96.36.199], delay=0, status=bounced (host email.brosco.com[18.104.22.168] said: 554 5.0.0 Permanent message delivery failure (in reply to end of DATA command))

Am I missing something here?

When you think about possible emergencies, your mind probably leaps immediately to visions of flash floods, white-out conditions and hurricanes wreaking havoc around your town. But there's one disaster scenario really worth sinking your teeth into, and that's the threat of a coming zombie apocalypse.
Sure, you've probably seen them terrorize the small screen on "The Walking Dead" – a show that serializes the struggles of one group of survivors in a post-apocalyptic zombie world – and amble slowly and menacingly across cinema screens in classics like "Night of the Living Dead," but the fact of the matter is, you never know when – or how – a zombie outbreak will really go down.
That's why it's important to always be prepared in advance. Best of all? These helpful tips will serve you well no matter what kind of disaster you're squaring off against, whether it's lousy weather or legions of the undead.
Finding a reliable source of water
One of the first things you'll need to take into account is having access to basic necessities, like water. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends setting aside enough water to last each person in your group for a few days, until you can make it to zombie-free safe point or refugee camp.
However, bottled water can be costly and hazardous to the environment. Plus, with zombies running around all over the place, chances are that going to the store really isn't an option for you. You don't want to drink from just any water source, either – after all, you have no way of knowing for sure that the water you're drinking hasn't been contaminated with the virus that started this whole mess in the first place!
It's better to err on the side of caution and always keep a few trusty portable water filters in your emergency supplies kit. Water filters can be invaluable, especially if you're on the move with your group, because they rid water of impurities no matter where you are.
And with a water filtration system, you can gain peace of mind – something you'll probably be in desperate need of given the fact that you're, well, you know, fighting off zombies.
Fleshing out your emergency kit
In addition to portable water purifiers, you want to make sure that your emergency kit is stocked up with everything you might need to make it through this apocalypse in one piece.
That means setting aside a variety of different items, including:
- Non-perishable food items
- First aid items, including bandages and rubbing alcohol (hey, you don't know where those mouths have been!)
- Towels, sheets and other household supply items
- Radios and means of communication
- Tools, like utility knives, duct tape and hammers
With these items at your disposal, you should have everything you need to successfully overcome the challenges of a potential zombie apocalypse. You may also want to consider planning an evacuation route out of your home, since there's always a chance your town could become overrun by swarms of the living dead!
