The Israeli Embassy in Argentina is launching an ad campaign to mark the 21st anniversary of the 1992 bombing that killed 29.
The campaign, to be launched next week, focuses on themes of love and life through photographs of the families of the victims. "Love kills terrorism" and "Life kills terrorism" are the mottos in each of the four advertisements, which will be featured in print media as well as in subways and on the streets of Buenos Aires.
On March 17, 1992, a car bomb was detonated in front of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, killing 29 and injuring 242. Iran is believed to be behind the bombing, but no one has been brought to justice in the case.
The campaign was created by the Basevich Crea agency, which also created last year's campaign marking the 20th anniversary of the attack. Basevich Crea and the photographer involved, Hernan Churba, are doing the work pro bono.

My interest in electronics started at a young age, but in 2003 my knowledge level got a serious upgrade when I was hired as an Advisor at Crutchfield. The three months of eight hours a day training was intense but the payoff was well worth the hard work. Trust me when I say they take our training serious. Before we are allowed on the phones we have to pass numerous tests and then the final exam.
Do you think it stops there? Think again. We have to attend numerous training sessions every month due to the fact that technology never stops changing and evolving. It is pretty awesome to be to be privy to some of the new toys and gadgets before the rest of the world knows about them. Being an electronics expert is something I am excited about and I want to share that excitement with you!
I love having friends over to watch movies that my wife and I stream from online directly to our Samsung 51D8000 plasma. It is accompanied with the Denon AVR-3806 receiver and Polk RTi speakers. The detail of color and contrast partnered with speed of the the Samsung's refresh rate make for an amazing picture. The powerhouse Denon effortlessly drives the smooth and natural sounding Polk speakers to complete the experience.
I want you to have that same "kid in a candy store" feeling we have every day when we turn our systems on in the home or the car. Give me call and let me change your life!

I sat the entire weekend contemplating on whether or not I should invest in a car stereo system. I was unsure of whether or not the crew at crutchfield knew their stuff, and wondered if I call, who on earth would God put on the other line for me to talk to? Ultimately I picked up the phone and Jackson helped me with the purchase of my first car stereo and speaker set. He is very knowledgeable and was there to give the advice needed, but more importantly was incredibly patient on the listening end whenever I had a question. I couldn't have been more blessed to receive such a professional tech for my situation. Although it put a hole in my wallet, it's the good people like Jackson at Crutchfield that make buying such great equipment worthwhile.

I called the 800 number yesterday and was assigned Jackson. I had a concern about an order that I had already placed and after a short consult, Jackson assured me that I had selected the proper items. He was professional, very knowledgeable, and I was happy he was there to educate me on subwoofer/amp combinations. Thanks!

Paseo del Sol in General Santos City - Philippines
Paseo del Sol is a restaurant that serves one of the best baby back ribs in town. Its close rival is just a stones throw away but the mere mention of the restaurants name makes the locals mouth drool at the grilled meals they serve.
Paseo del Sol is also a popular place where celebrities and politicians meet for functions, press releases and even for some time off. Celebrities like Sam Milby, Ai Ai de los Alas and even former President Erap Estrada have frequented the place. The Paseo del Sol is part of the Paseo del Sol compound where one may indulge in other pursuits aside from eating.
How does the price rate? The prices in Paseo del Sol are slightly higher than most restaurants since their clientele are that of the upper crust but the ordinary Joe can surely find it within their reach. Main meals can go for as much as 200 to 250 pesos and drinks such as iced tea can go for 60 pesos onwards. When one speaks of their specialty, the baby back ribs, the prices usually start at a hefty 400 pesos onwards.
The Paseo del Sol is can also be used as a fine dining restaurant and host more elaborate settings such as weddings for the compound has a lot of floor space and the gazebos and gardens offer a small recluse from the gatherings. One could see that the service and location rival most five star hotels in the metro.
It is also interesting to note that the wife of boxing sensation Manny Pacquiao, Jinkee, is a frequent diner at the Paseo del Sol. She and Manny often have their press conferences in the resto.
Paseo del Sol is located along the national highway and near its sister restaurant, Ranchero grill. Like most restos in town, the national highway offers a very accessible way for hungry visitor to go to. Most tricycle drivers and taxis are familiar with the place and anyone who goes there to visit should have no problem finding it.
The design of the Paseo del Sol is that of a Mediterranean theme and it works well since the whole area is based near the sea, strong winds, and sunny days. It is no wonder why many expats think of this place as the next Greek getaway.
For reservations, they can be reached any day of the week at (083) 553-9298, 303-1120, 301-9298 or 0906-5788-548. No reservations needed preferred of you are hosting a large set of people.

The Inna Meiman Award is given in recognition of the friendship between Inna Meiman, a Soviet era Jewish refusenik who was repeatedly denied a visa to seek medical treatment and Lisa Paul a graduate of the University of Minnesota, who fought tirelessly on her behalf, including a 25-day hunger strike that galvanized a movement for Inna's freedom. The friendship between Paul and Meiman is memorialized in the book, Swimming in the Daylight: An American Student, a Soviet-Jewish Dissident, and the Gift of Hope.
The Sullivan Ballou Award is named after Major Sullivan Ballou, an Army soldier killed at the First Battle of Bull Run in 1861. Ballou became the inspiration for this award because of the heartfelt commitment he expressed in a letter to his wife before the battle. The award carries on Ballou's spirit by honoring a student who acts from the heart and devotes heartfelt energy to those around them.
The celebration is hosted by the Human Rights Program in the Institute for Global Studies and the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the University of Minnesota.

Very slow in returning my e-mails and not as energetic to resolve concerns. There was a lot of followup and frustrations.
I have a lot of questions as a new trader and they seems to answer all my question nice and properly :)
The spreads of the major pairs are very large. All I can say is to avoid placing an order at news times because the spreads are inconsistent.
They are not answering my e-mails last week. What happened with them? Are they still on-leave?
They're offering unreliable services. It seems that they are reluctant to execute my trades.
It's not suitable for me because they had a sluggish execution and I'm a scalper.
Popular for luring newbies. Their behavior really sucks as you can only ask them freely if you are about to deposit your money.
I wonder why they do not have a good swap account. Do they still new on this business?

By Tarice L.S. Gray, Special to the NNPA from thedefendersonline.com –
Long before terms like workplace diversity, affirmative action, and inclusion became American standards, Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson conspired to change their game of baseball.
Rickey, then the president and general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, wanted two things for his team: a World Series Championship, and a racially-integrated ball club. In Jackie Robinson, Rickey found a man who was not only receptive to both ideas and also prepared to deal with those who didn't want him in the game.
By the 1940s, no Black player had crossed Major League Baseball's color line for nearly half a century – until Rickey, who embraced the philosophy of tough love, told Robinson he thought he was the man to do it. Rickey understood that on the diamond and in the public eye, Robinson would face extraordinary pressure; he would succeed or fail on the strength of his own ability. But Rickey was also determined to help him as much as possible — to prepare him to succeed by becoming his baseball mentor.
Like so many things about America's mythic past time, the relationship of Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson dramatically illustrated in the broadest possible terms the impact a mentor can have on an individual and the larger society. That remains especially true for people of color in all fields of endeavor today.
Appropriately, one of the organizations which has used the techniques of mentoring to great effect is the Jackie Robinson Foundation, founded by Robinson's widow, Rachel, a year after his death in 1972. Since then it has extended the ladder of upward mobility to thousands of the best and brightest young people in minority communities by awarding them generous four-year scholarships to college. But there's a catch: JRF requires all their students to participate in their mentoring program.
As Della Britton Baeza, president and chief executive of the foundation, puts it. "They can't just take our money."
What JRF scholars receive in addition to college financing is a cultural tutorial – a how-to guide, on not just surviving but thriving in the world of big business. The JRF staff calls the tutorial "life skills," and it includes teaching the students such things as how to manage personal finances and how to eat at a four star restaurant. JRF even foots the bill for an evening at the opera.
It can all be considered carry over from Robinson's historic moment of inclusion, Baeza said. Although it's more common these days to see successful minorities in corporate America, those that continue to follow in already formed footsteps have to be prepared. "It's a bigger challenge for [people of color] to be successful," she remarked, "because, let's be honest, we are not post- racial and [they] are facing a real hostile culture in some situations. So mentoring is absolutely vital."
Despite their value, finding mentors still proves elusive to many who need them. A recent Harvard Business Review exploration of diversity in corporate America found that although big-business companies professed their commitment to seeking out and promoting top minority talent, many of those smart and capable employees of color often left their respective companies "frustrated." Minority men and women who did excel had a "strong network" of mentors and sponsors that offered more than just instruction, they nurtured their careers. Their business journey was made successful by someone else lighting the way.
Karen Thompson understands the consequences of trying to get ahead without a mentor. Before joining NAACP Legal and Educational Defense Fund (LDF) as director of its, scholarship program, she was an associate at a respected law firm. Although she found success as an attorney, her road was tougher, she believes, because she did not have a mentor.
"It felt very lonely to me," she said, "and I really felt like I taught myself how to be a good lawyer." As she rose higher in the ranks, she saw less people like herself in the offices. Last year, Thompson moved to LDF as Director of its scholarship program and has made building the program's mentoring component a major goal. Part of that effort involves the creation of something called an "ol' boy, ol' girl network" among the program's alumni in order to ensure that they don't have to navigate corporate waters alone. She said that commitment to mentoring needs to be ongoing, beyond undergraduate and graduate school into the workplace. The minority corporate veterans need continual guidance and feedback to help them reach their full potential.
Management Leadership for Tomorrow works to that end at the very top of the corporate structure. The mentoring-based organization, founded nearly a decade ago by John Rice, brother of Susan Rice, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, helps veteran workers reach the Corporate Suite, home of the top positions of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the like.
According to MLT, African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans collectively comprise roughly 30 percent of the U.S. population. But, they make up only three percent of senior leaders in corporations, non-profits and entrepreneurial ventures. Patricia Price, Managing Director for Executive Programs for MLT, said that their initiatives are designed to halt the revolving-door dynamic that drains companies of Black, Latino and Native American talent because these mid-level career workers feel their careers have hit a plateau. They believe the mentoring programs, often thought necessary only for adolescents and undergraduate and graduate students, need to be re-fashioned for people trying to climb the corporate ladder. Price said MLT wants to make sure when they get to a place where they are "comfortable" they keep going. "Ultimately, we're trying to raise the number of leaders, in the country."
One of the mentoring tools Price said minorities need to have in the corporate world harkens back to Robinson-Rickey relationship: the ability to smoothly respond to your critics. Price said, "being able to listen actively and respond reflectively instead of reactively to negative feedback [is one of the things] that's very important to leaders." She added that minorities tend to struggle with that kind of criticism because many feel singled-out and alone. Price also said too many African Americans become "shy" when it comes to hiring African American staff when they're promoted to head company units or divisions. MLT urges them to embrace "similarity bias" – the practice of hiring people from similar backgrounds, including similar racial backgrounds, because that, too, is part of the mentoring dynamic. That philosophy also drives up the value of a committed minority mentor, or someone who gets it.
As Della Britton Baeza, of the Jackie Robinson Foundation, said "it's all about somebody taking you under their wing, pulling you by your coat tail, and tough love."

UTSA presents Menotti operetta Sunday, Nov. 1 at Main Campus
(Oct. 30, 2009)--The UTSA Department of Music will present Gian Carlo Menotti's musical piece "The Unicorn, the Gorgon and the Manticore" at 3 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 1 in the Arts Building Recital Hall on the Main Campus.
UTSA Professor John Silantien will conduct the UTSA Chamber Singers. The performance also will include special guests, the Northwest Vista College Repertory Dance Ensemble.
Menotti's madrigal fable or operetta for chorus, 10 dancers and nine instruments, was composed in 1956. Three medieval beasts in the piece are said to symbolize the periods in the artist's life. The unicorn is youthful, capricious, foolish and beautiful. The gorgon represents the middle-aged artist -- successful, loud, proud, but quite ugly. The lonely manticore symbolizes the embittered aging poet.
The performance is free and open to the public.
For more information, contact Cynthia Solis at (210) 458-5685.

The New York Mets won Sunday's rubber-match game with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday afternoon but lost their starting shortstop, Ruben Tejada, to a right quad injury in the process. Tejada was attempting to bunt for a hit in the fourth inning with the Mets up two runs and was successful…..sorta. The young shortstop seemed to tweak something while running down the line and in doing so tripped and face planted past the bag.
Exactly how long Tejada will be out is not yet known, but according to Mike Puma of the New York Post, a trip to the DL seems likely:
Mets person says Tejada MRI results "not good" and DL stint "very likely."

Tejada, on the other hand, apparently thinks otherwise:
Mets person added that final decision on Tejada won't be made until he is evaluated on Monday. Tejada still thinks he can play in few days.

The Mets would struggle to fill Tejada's void both in the field and at the plate as the 22-year-old has been on fire of late with 16 hits in his last 38 at-bats (.421 avg).
Beyond that, with Ronny Cedeno on the disabled list and not due to return till Friday at the earliest, the Mets would likely have to turn to rookie Jordanny Valdespin at short if a trip to the DL is required for Tejada.
Jordany Valdespin will be in Philly, awaiting word whether Tejada is placed on DL, I'm told

Tejada has been fun to watch all year and with the way he's been handling the bat I've begun to rethink what his ceiling as a hitter might be. Right now all we can do is hope for the best but it's tough to be optimistic when it comes to injuries and the Mets. The one thing the front office has done since Spring Training is consistently err on the side of caution and while that approach may not get a player on the field the quickest, it will hopefully keep them there when they return.

|An investigation of the distribution and status of the Diamondback terrapin (Malaclemmys terrapin) in the Chesapeake Bay
|Project Description
|This study plan details research of the diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin terrapin) in Chesapeake Bay in response to a one-year FY- 02 congressional funding initiative. Our primary objective, given this short time frame, is to establish baseline information deemed most essential to the conservation management of the species with potential provision for long-term funding. The research outlined herein includes 2 separate elements: a survey study to establish the distribution and relative abundance of diamondback terrapin in a major portion of the Chesapeake Bay, and second, a baseline study of population genetics that will provide a thorough understanding of the evolutionary relationships (e.g. gene exchange) among geographically proximate and distal populations. Included in the genetic study will be an effort to determine the genetic identity of terrapin hibernacula and the effect of commercial harvest from such sites. This work is consistent with the mission of the USGS to collaborate with partners to facilitate the sound management of the Nations biological resources.

iPhone 5S and 5C hit Australia 20 Sept
news Iconic technology giant Apple this morning announced that its new iPhone 5S and 5C models would be available in Australia from the company's own stores and through every major mobile carrier from Friday 20 September, the same date they will be available in other major countries such as the US and UK.
The company unveiled the two new models overnight at an event in the US. The iPhone 5S is seen as being the primary replacement for the company's flagship iPhone 5 model. Its main refinements include a fingerprint sensor integrated into the device's home button, a new processor based on a 64-bit chip, a new side processor which captures data from the phone's accelerometer, gyroscope and compass for greater power efficiency, and an improved camera and better flash.
Whereas the previous iPhone 5 model was available in a dark gray/black colour, in addition to white, the new iPhone 5S will also be available in a gold colour.
"Phone 5s comes in gold, silver or space gray, and will be available in Australia for a recommended retail price of RRP $869 inc GST for the 16GB model and RRP $999 inc GST for the 32GB model and RRP $1,129 inc GST for the 64GB model," Apple said in a statement released this morning. "iPhone 5s will be available from the Apple Online Store (www.apple.com/au), Apple's retail stores, and through Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and select Apple Authorised Resellers. iPhone 5s cases will be available in beige, black, blue, brown, yellow and (RED) for a recommended retail price of RRP A$48 inc GST through the Apple Online Store (www.apple.com/au), Apple's retail stores and select Authorised Apple Resellers."
"iPhone 5s is the most forward-thinking smartphone in the world, delivering desktop class architecture in the palm of your hand," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing. "iPhone 5s sets a new standard for smartphones, packed into its beautiful and refined design are breakthrough features that really matter to people, like Touch ID, a simple and secure way to unlock your phone with just a touch of your finger."
Apple has also launched a new iPhone line, the iPhone 5C, which has a different case model compared with the existing iPhone 5 and new iPhone 5S models. Whereas those models come with an aluminium casing, the iPhone 5C's design is based on a similar kind of light and colourful polycarbonate casing as is found in Nokia's Lumia models. The iPhone 5C will come in blue, green, pink, yellow and white.
The iPhone 5C's featureset appears to be similar to that of the previous-generation iPhone 5, and Apple has also designed a number of "soft, matte, micro-fibre-lined cases" in different colours that have holes in the back to let some of the iPhone 5C's colours through.
An Apple statement this morning said: "iPhone 5c comes in blue, green, pink, yellow and white and will be available in Australia for a recommended retail price of RRP $739 inc GST for the 16GB model and RRP $869 inc GST for the 32GB model. iPhone 5c will be available from the Apple Online Store (www.apple.com/au), Apple's retail stores, and through Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and select Apple Authorised Resellers. iPhone 5c cases will be available in blue, green, pink, yellow, black and white for a recommended retail price of RRP A$39 inc GST through the Apple Online Store (www.apple.com/au), Apple's retail stores and select Apple Authorised Resellers."
"iPhone 5c is everything iPhone 5 was and more, in an all-new design packed with great features," said Apple's Schiller. "iPhone 5c is designed with a beautiful polycarbonate enclosure that looks and feels so solid in your hand." Apple also announced that it would make a new iPhone 4S 8GB model available for RRP A$529 including GST.
The new iPhone models will also run the version 7 of Apple's iOS mobile operating system. The platform will also be available as a free software upgrade for most iPhones and iPads from two days before the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C launch, on 18 September. "iOS 7 will be available as a free software update starting on Wednesday 18 September for iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, iPad mini and iPod touch (fifth generation). Some features may not be available on all products," Apple said.
I think Apple's done what pretty much everyone expected here, and what the cadre of analysts and journalists covering the company obsessively had predicted it would do. Some minor improvements to the already solid iPhone 5, and a new mid-range iPhone based on the iPhone 5 but in new colours and with a light polycarbonate casing.
If you're an iPhone user and want to stay with the platform, you probably don't want to bother upgrading if you already have an iPhone 5. However, if you have an iPhone 4, 4S, or something prior to that (3GS, for example), this is your upgrade. If you want the high-end and to stay future-proof as long as possible (or if you just like gold), go for the iPhone 5S. Otherwise, if you want a bit more colour, go for the iPhone 5C. We would, however, point out that there are already plenty of very colourful cases that would make an iPhone 5S look very much like an iPhone 5C: A favourite case for our household iPhone 5 is hot pink.
Will the fingerprint sensor turn out to be a big deal? Definitely, in the long-term, we would expect most smartphones to incorporate this kind of technology, and we can see it being used for mobile transactions. However, right now, as with other features such as NFC chips, it's more of a nice to have, rather than a necessity.
If you're an Android user and already have a fairly modern handset (say, something from the Galaxy S III up, there probably isn't a whole lot of reason to consider switching back to the Appleverse for anything the company announced this morning. Personally, I own an iPhone 5 and a Nexus 4. I tend to use the Nexus 4 a lot more, however. Although it doesn't have 4G speeds and is a bit banged up from a few adventures, I just love the form factor and the default 'Nexus' stock Android experience.

I don't see the finger print scanner being a big selling point, or a useful feature.
It will be like finger print readers on laptops, completely unused.
Or like NFC devices on mobile phones, used so rarely not having it is a non issue.
Sensor-companion core seems like a great idea, will let you use those sensors without melting your phone in your pocket, or draining your battery. Developers WANT to be able to use these sensors (fitness apps?) but just can't due to the power constraints.
The RRP's are scary, and I'll be amazed if they have a similar RRP in China, but that's what we expect in Australia.
RRP is the same is USD as last year, local difference seem to be down to a different exchange rate
Sensor could be awesome, if it works well. I'll wait until I try to before deciding on it's usefulness
Agree that the Sensor-companion core is a great idea
If you could buy a Iphone 5S from the US apple store (http://store.apple.com/us/buy-iphone/iphone5s). A unlocked Iphone 5S with out a contract is $849US for the 64GB Phone, and on current exchange rate the Australian price is $917.15. but both these prices are from the apple store so you would assume that they would have build the profit into the price.
But one would hope that this would work in Australia, but you have to check http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
The problem with NFC in phones is down to the lack of support from banking platforms. NFC in a phone is utterly brilliant – I currently use 'tap to pay' on my CC whenever possible because it is by far the fastest and most convenient payment method. As soon as this can be reliably and consistently done by my phone with my bank I will be able to leave my wallet at home for most things, just taking my phone and a $50 note in my pocket for emergencies. Brilliant. If only it could start my car too…
As for fingerprint reading, as long as phone manufacturers can make it both simple to set up and reliable I see it as a 'must have' feature for some people. Right now you can have swipe to unlock (zero security) or a pin, password or pattern, all of which are extremely inconvenient. Facial recognition is effectively useless as it can be defeated by a photo.
Fingerprint recognition, on the other hand, can provide a reasonably secure experience with the convenience of a single swipe to unlock. It will have to respond quickly and reliably to be useful, but if they have nailed that then I see it as a feature many will appreciate.
On the contrary, I think that the fingerprint reader will be a big selling point in corporate/enterprise. My phone is managed by our corporate MDM – it has a mandatory passcode that changes every 45 days and the phone locks after 5 minutes. I enter my passcode dozens of times a day and have to remember to use the new code when it changes.
With TouchID I will be able to unlock my phone more quickly and as it is integrated with the data protection hardware in the iPhone it makes your data secure.
i remember all the apple fans knocking the HTC and Nokia windows phones that were "coloured" ..
Good to see apple innovating on the colour front… /smirk
Glad to have left apple.. i'm sure there will be plenty of sheep lined up to get the new one – even though their current one works fine.
oh… and am i the only person who thinks that apple IOS looks almost exactly like Windows 3.1 ?
Those pics of the coloured ones with matching coloured theme on the screen…. look like toys for kinder kids.
Not really. There are still a lot of differences.
Having said that, there are only so many haptics designs that work; it's natural progression that Android and Apple are ending up in a similar place.
What I find hilarious is the colour comment from another phone company that's jyst been snapped up by Microsoft.
Frankly the phone itself is just iteration – that's okay though because Android phones are also basically just iteration around a similar theme. IOS 6 has some nice usability changes, though.
Either way – people will find what works. Which is cool. I just don't get the Anti-Android or Anti-Apple bile; we need folks like Google and Apple and (even) Microsoft to push each other around; it helps keeps innovation occurring.
Choice is good.
+1 choice is great!
even when i was an iphone user … always struck me that it didn't look all that diff to 3.1
Look, not to rain on that whole windows 3.1 joke thing, you know Steve and Bill worked together for some time, before an acrimonious split, right?
Windows owes as much of it's initial UI to Apple, as vice versa. Then again, there are strong similarities between windows and early OS/2 which, oh wait, was a Microsoft and IBM thing, that had an acrimonious split.
Like I said, there are naturally more efficient haptic (and indeed that can extend to graphical) designs; that some UIs look like others says more about how we think and work, and less really about who did what first.
When was that?
Steve worked with Woz. Bill G with Paul Allen and others. Their companies had a few mutual projects but at no time could they be described as 'working together'.
And neither Steve nor Bill ever designed an interface, just okayed other peoples designs as part of OS builds.
yup, nothing appealing and yeah, the colours and OS, really more of a copy of what phones are out there now. More excited about the Nokia Lumia 1020. Although, as stoffs said, only the fanboys will go crazy over anything with an apple logo.
If i didn't have a 920 , would be looking at getting the 1020..
however – i have seen nokia is bringing out a lumia the size of a galaxy note , very tempted (really want the bigger screen).
Somehow I managed to read a bit about the new models without seeing the prices, and while not very interested by the 5s specs I thought the 5c looked quite nice. Then I saw the 5c pricing and literally laughed out loud.
There's a raft of fantastic Android phones for under $500 offering similar or better performance to the 5c in excellent quality packages (great screens, solid builds, great cameras, 4G support etc). I'm on a Nexus 4 which is superb and only lacks 4G support… you can pick one up for about $350.
I know the 5c will sell because it's Apple, but I'll shake my head in disbelief at the price every time I see someone carrying one.
For the life of me I still don't understand why people using phones with Android software clog up the comment sections of Apple articles(from here to the Guardian). Apart maybe from getting stuff off their chest I don't see much benefit. Once upon a time there used to be some interesting to and froing but those days are gone. Now it's just relentless sheeple jibes or some such. And they say Apple fans are obsessed. You won't find me boring your pants off under Android articles.
it's called payback… for all the years the iphone users paid out on android..
is this one of the 1st times a new iphone has been announced and apple's share price didn't sky rocket?

This weekend I died and went to heaven. At least, I think it was heaven. It sort of smelled like coconut. Come to think of it… it even tasted like coconut. You know what, I think that I might have just mistaken my kitchen this past weekend for heaven. Never mind me.
So here's the thing about coconut. As a kid, I never had the desire to try coconut (along with a lot of other similarly 'weird' foods) and did my best to avoid it all together. Well, at the ripe old age of six, I decided to put my fears aside and try coconut in the form of Samoas (otherwise known as Caramel deLites) Girl Scout cookies. It took a second cookie to help me make up my mind, but I finally decided that coconut was something that I could warm up to (as long as chocolate and caramel continued to be invited to the party too). Well, as my fortune would have it, I was struck with a bug that day and became violently ill no less than ten minutes after finishing my second cookie. I had the distinct displeasure of seeing all of the cookies come right back up and I just knew, I knew, that it had to have been the coconut that made me sick. And thus ended my brief affair with coconut.
It would take another fifteen years for me to give coconut another chance. When I finally did give it another go, I believe it was in the form of a coconut mojito. And even though it might not be quite fair since anything would be delicious with the word mojito following it, I found that I very much enjoyed the coconut flavor. And that is where my relationship with coconut stands today. Coconut flavoring? Best friends. A match made in heaven. The peanut butter to my jelly. Coconut flakes? We're more like frenemies. I'm friendly to its face, but I'll never forgive it for making me sick all those years ago.
But enough with the negativity. Let's get to the cupcakes. I really wasn't intending to make any sweets for Easter, even though I kept the idea of these sweet bird nest cupcakes (coconut flakes, and all) in the back of my mind just in case. But of course when I stumbled upon these sweet pink baking cups mixed in between all the other holiday items on the store shelf, I just couldn't resist buying them. Just in case I got the urge to bake.
Well, the urge hit this past weekend. Hard. Just in time for Easter, too. I had it in my head that I absolutely must find a way to combine coconut and lemon together because nothing would scream SPRING IS HERE like those two flavors combined. I spent some time brainstorming before deciding that I would adapt this recipe for Aloha cake to my needs. I originally thought I was going to make a lemon frosting, but after trying the cupcake on its own, it was pretty much decided for me that it needed the coconut frosting more.
Coconut Cupcakes with Lemon Filling
for the coconut cupcakes (recipe adapted from here ):
for the lemon filling:
for the coconut frosting (recipe adapted from here ):
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Prepare the cake mix according to the box directions and mix in the coconut extract. Pour the mixture into a lined muffin tin and back 20-25 minutes (follow the guidance on the box for cooking times). While the cupcakes bake, prepare the filling by making the instant pudding (stir in lemon extract at the end if using the vanilla instant pudding). Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow to cool. Once cooled, use a small knife to cut a cone shape out of the cupcake. Slice the tip off of the cones. Spoon the filling into the cupcakes, and replace the base of the cone back onto the cupcake (see below for an example). To make the frosting, beat the butter with 1 cup confectioners' sugar. While continuing to beat mixture, slowly add in the remaining confectioners' sugar. Add in the skim milk and coconut extract last and continue to beat mixture for an additional minute. Frost cupcakes and decorate with lemon zest if desired. Yields 20-24 cupcakes.
I feel like I always say this every time I try a new dessert, but I swear, these cupcakes are my all-time favorite sweet item! They are so perfectly fluffy and moist with just the right amount of sweetness so that it's not too rich tasting. When Mister E tried one, he died and joined me in my coconut bliss heaven. He claimed that the cupcakes were too good for me to give out the recipe to anyone, and that I should just sell the cupcakes instead. I decided not to tell him how easy these were to make and just went ahead and let him think that I made them from scratch. No need to give out all my secrets, right?

NFL fans gearing up for fantasy football -- and so are hackers
PHOENIX -- Fantasy football is one of the fastest growing industries -- making it rife with fraud potential.
According to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA), almost $1.7 billion was spent on fantasy football in 2012, and in 2013, there were nearly 26 million fantasy football players in the United States.
"Anybody in the world can take part in fantasy football, (so) it makes users vulnerable to fraud," explained Robert Siciliano, online security expert for McAfee. That fraud happens when they're communicating with others that might send them links that could lead to an infected download. In some cases, they could receive an email with an attachment that could also lead to an infection."
Siciliano added that when someone accesses your computer, it's not just one person who has your personal information, it's a whole network.
"In this day and age, criminal hackers are all involved in organized web mobs," he said. "If the bad guy owns your email, he basically owns you. The word 'sophisticated' is thrown around a lot, and these hackers really are."
He said everyone should always be proactive regarding information, not just those playing fantasy football.
"Be very careful about opening attachments or downloading files. Make sure you have antivirus, anti-spyware and a firewall," he advised. "If you have your device security up to par and with having critical security patches updated, in general, you should be in pretty good shape."
And when it comes to passwords, make sure that they are long and strong.
"If your device is compromised, it allows a backdoor into your machine, which means while you're in bed at 2 a.m. asleep, you could have a hacker from somewhere else in the world log onto your device via a remote access Trojan [virus]," explained Siciliano. "They could see all of the places you were throughout the day and all the websites you visited and get your user names and passwords, (including) banking and credit card accounts."

Robotics Competition Officially Kicks Off
Friday, September 20, 2013
All that was missing were cheerleaders and the band.
Other than that, the Third Annual RGV BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology) Robotics Competition kicked off with a bang last week at the Texas State Technical College Fieldhouse in a pep-rally type environment.
Not every team was in attendance to take part in the official kickoff. Only 14 of the 16 teams were on hand to receive instruction and their kits to start working on their robots for the Oct. 26 competition. On Oct. 12, there will be a "Mall Day" when teams will showcase their robots to a live audience at Valle Vista Mall in what coordinator Adan Trevino is calling a "dry run."
As teams were introduced by Trevino, team members would stand up and cheer for each other. The playing field or "gatekeeper" as it's referred to by competitors, was also introduced at the kick off. This gatekeeper is the obstacle-course type playing field in which the robots will be tested the day of the competition.
The RGV BEST competition is a yearly event designed to inspire high school and middle school students to further their studies in the fields of science and engineering. The teams usually start with a box of raw materials (the kit) and are given six weeks to design, build and later demonstrate a remote-controlled machine that will perform a given task.
"The mission is to inspire students to pursue a career in one of the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields by providing a sports-like competition," Trevino said. "The day of the competition we'll have an opening ceremony with a drum line from MMA (Marine Military Academy)."
Engineers and scientists from local industry serve as team coaches and mentor the students along the process.
TSTC serves as the hub for South Texas as teams from San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Laredo and across the Valley will compete that day.
The day of the competition, students will give oral presentations and show exhibits of their team, robot and the building process in the morning. The competition will take place from 1-6 p.m.
This year, the competition is registered on www.eventbrite.com and free tickets can be obtained through the website.

The Campaign (2012) quotes, list of the best lines, dialogues from this comedy movie from Warner Bros. Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis star as Cam Brady and Marty Huggins in The Campaign. May the best loser win!
When long-term congressman Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) commits a major public gaffe before an upcoming election, a pair of ultra-wealthy CEOs plot to put up a rival candidate and gain influence over their North Carolina district. Their man: naïve Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), director of the local Tourism Center. At first, Marty appears to be the unlikeliest possible choice but, with the help of his new benefactors' support, a cutthroat campaign manager and his family's political connections, he soon becomes a contender who gives the charismatic Cam plenty to worry about. As Election Day closes in, the two are locked in a dead heat, with insults quickly escalating to injury until all they care about is burying each other, in this mud-slinging, back-stabbing, home-wrecking comedy.

David B. Stevens, 93
Published Date
LACONIA — David B. Stevens, 93, formerly of New Hampton, NH and Belleview, Florida, died on Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2013 at the Belknap County Nursing Home in Laconia NH. Born on December 28, 1919 in Greenfield, Massachusetts he was the son of David Brown Stevens and Laura (Wurtenberger) Stevens Hatch, and was brought up on the campus of Mount Hermon Prep School in Gill, Mass. His father, a native of New Hampton, NH, had moved to Mt. Hermon to manage the prep school's large herd of dairy cattle. Mr. Stevens was educated at local elementary schools and attended Mount Hermon Prep School.
David was proud to serve his country during World War II. He joined the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1942, and was stationed at remote airfields in China, where he was a fuel supply specialist, supporting the brave pilots, who flew "Flying Tigers" aircraft, longrange bombers, and transport planes, until the end of the war.
He was a farmer, carpenter and roofer. In 1947 he designed and built the family home in Gill, Massachusetts where he resided for many years. He cut the logs to make the lumber and beams, and for the roof, he bought the slate off an old tobacco barn, and installed it. For over 35 years, he worked as a machinist at Greenfield Tap&Die, and Bendix Cutting Tool Div. in Greenfield, Mass.
Upon retirement in 1979, Mr. and Mrs. Stevens moved to his family homestead on the Oxbow Road in New Hampton NH. They also lived on Sky Pond Rd, New Hampton, and spent many years in Summerfield and Belleview, Florida returning to New Hampshire in 2009.
David was known for his friendly and helpful nature and his great sense of humor. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather.
Survivors include his wife of 67 years, Ruth June (Phelps) Stevens, a resident of Belknap County Nursing Home, three sons Daniel R. Stevens and wife Joyce of Bristol, NH, Bruce D. Stevens and wife Stacy of New Hampton NH., Gary R. Stevens and companion Rhonda Clark of Warren, NH., two daughters, Beverly J. Butterfield, and companion Ed Stout of Summerfield, FL., and Elizabeth E. Gross and husband Gordon Gross of Henderson, Nevada. One brother, Richard W. Stevens and wife Jerry of Reston, Virginia, eight grandchildren, Brian Stevens, Kevin Stevens, Quincy Stevens Gunn, Gordon Gross, Jr, Katy Gross, Corilynn Gross, Kala Stevens and Austin Stevens, 10 great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
The family would like to thank the Belknap County Nursing Home and their employees for the compassionate care given over the last 3 years. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Belknap County Nursing Home's Activities Fund at 30 County Drive, Laconia, NH 03246.
There will be no calling hours. A grave-side burial service will be held at the N.H. State Veteran's Cemetery in Boscawen NH on Monday, September 9th at 11 a.m.

Mississippi State's bullpen gave the Bulldogs a chance to win all three games against Tennessee this past weekend.
They threw 20 1/3 scoreless innings against the Volunteers.
On the other hand, MSU's offense struggled all weekend.
While the bullpen was keeping Tennessee off the scoreboard, the Bulldogs had trouble getting runs as well.
MSU stranded 33 base runners during the three-game series at Dudy Noble Field. The Bulldogs left the bases loaded three times.
State ended up winning the final two games, both on extra-inning walk-offs.
"This is a crazy game," MSU head coach John Cohen said after Sunday's 4-3 12th inning win. "Certainly, we would've liked to have ended it a little bit earlier. We just kept hanging in there, hanging in there and found a way to win."
Seth Heck had a walk-off single on Saturday to lift the Bulldogs to a 1-0 win in 10 innings. Cody Walker was walked with the bases loaded to force home Cody Brown and clinch the series for the Bulldogs on Sunday.
The MSU offense has shown flashes, especially at Auburn and Missouri. Heck and the rest of the offense want to keep pace with the pitching staff.
"It is frustrating as hitters," Heck said. "(Friday and Saturday) we've been trying to get those hits late in the ballgame and we didn't get them (Friday) night. When your guys are pitching so well, you really want to get those hits and you try not to press so much, but they'll come."
Lindgren, Mitchell
finalists for trophy
Two left-handed pitchers for the Bulldogs have been announced as finalists for the 11th annual C Spire Ferriss Trophy.
The Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame made the announcement on Monday.
The Ferriss Trophy is presented to the top collegiate baseball player in the state of Mississippi and is chosen by Mississippi coaches, fans and professional scouts who cover Mississippi.
Lindgren, who was chosen by Perfect Game as the 45th-best prospect in the 2014 Major League Draft, has a 4-1 record, a 1.02 earned run average and opponents have batted .125 against him.
Mitchell has been selected as Southeastern Conference Pitcher of the Week three times this season. The starter leads the league in innings pitched with 95.2, ranks fifth in the SEC in ERA at 1.98, is tied for sixth in the conference with seven wins and places 11th in opponent batting average at .215.
The other three finalists for the Ferriss Trophy are Tyler Akins of Belhaven, Auston Bousfield from Ole Miss and Chris Ellis from Ole Miss.
The fan vote accounts for 10 percent of the final tally. That process began today at 9 a.m. and ends on Sunday at 5 p.m. Voting can be done at csopavoting.com.

Unidentified poodle moth takes Internet by stormJeremy Hance
August 29, 2012
The now famous poodle moth, species unknown. Photo by: Arthur Anker.
"When I emailed [Arthur] to ask if he knew this moth's species, he informed me that he did not, and he also revealed that no other zoologist he'd spoken to knew either," writes Shuker. "Indeed, no-one had even been able to name its genus!"
While Shuker and entomologists around the world are debating the species, they stress that mystery will not be solved until a specimen of the animal can be recovered.
Hopefully the photo will help spur some ambitious entomologists to trace Anker's footsteps and attempt to rediscover the 'poodle moth.'

'Monster larva' turns into a shrimp
(08/28/2012) With blue devil-shaped horns and red armor, the monster larva, or Cerataspis monstrosa, kept scientists guessing for nearly 200 years; infrequently found in the bellies of marine predators, researchers could not imagine what this larva became as an adult. Now they do: the monster larva becomes a deep sea shrimp, known as Plesiopenaeus armatus, which bares little monstrous resemblance to its larval stage, according to DNA studies published in Ecology and Evolution.

"The acute care environment will be shaped by the intersection of technology, business models and human needs. New acute care models will emerge haphazardly, by default, or by design," Marilyn Chow, D.N.Sc., R.N., FAAN, said at the Initiative on the Future of Nursing forum on acute care, held in October at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. "Nursing cannot transform a care delivery system alone. The future is already here. It's just not everywhere."
"Nurses are the primary hospital caregivers. The efficient use of their time and energy is critical to the future of hospitals and acute care," added Chow, vice president, patient care services at Kaiser Permanente.
The Initiative on the Future of Nursing is a two-year, joint effort of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Institute of Medicine to examine issues that face the nursing profession and develop recommendations to ensure that the nursing workforce can meet the demands of a reformed health care and public health system. More than 300 nurses, public policy experts and health care professionals attended its acute care forum—the first of three such events the Initiative is hosting.
Quality and Safety Challenges
The forum featured leading experts from around the country. "We have made cumbersome, difficult, almost impossible work systems for nurses," warned Tami Minnier, R.N., M.S.N., FACHE, chief quality officer for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, adding that nursing care delivery systems must be reliable and should be led by nurses.
The interruptions and work system failures that nurses encounter can suppress their ability to provide the best possible care, agreed Maureen Bisognano, B.S.N., M.S.N., executive vice president and chief operating officer at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. "Nurses' performance is intimately tied to the system in which they work."
Insufficient problem identification and error reduction are system failures, not incompetence, Bisognano noted. For acute care to be truly patient-centered, work systems must be redesigned to ensure that nurses can use their professional expertise to provide safe and reliable care. "We need a national learning system to make all models and prototypes accessible to nurses, at all levels, everywhere in the country," she urged.
Technology-Based Solutions
Wireless communication, remote location systems, point of care testing, and telemedicine are being integrated into acute care settings, said Steve DeMello, M.B.A., research program director at the Public Health Institute. Technology is aiding ergonomics, facilitating education and training, improving nurse productivity and efficiency, and changing basic models of care. Although new technologies have been tested and implemented, they have not been replicated consistently and appropriately across organizations, he said.
New technologies can help eliminate non-value added work, said Pam Cipriano, Ph.D., R.N., FAAN, noting that doing so can return valuable time to patients. Cipriano chairs the American Academy of Nursing's Workforce Commission. Used correctly, she said, technology reduces errors, provides access to important resources, and improves safety, qualify and efficiency.
Nurses should not be passive consumers, Cipriano said. They should also be on the design end of technology and health care delivery systems.
Interdisciplinary Collaboration Critical
Before a nurse can collaborate successfully, he or she must be competent in his or her own discipline, understand the complexity of population health, and be skilled in conflict resolution and communication, said Pamela Mitchell, Ph.D., F.N., FAHA, professor and founding director of the Center for Health Sciences Interprofessional Education and Research at the University of Washington. Inter-professional collaboration is important to workplace satisfaction and retention of nurses, she added, and health care organizations and academic institutions should work together to teach collaboration skills.
Communications and collaboration are often hindered by "disruptive physician behavior," said Alan Rosenstein, M.D., M.B.A., Vice President and Medical Director for VHA West Coast and Medical Director for Physician Wellness Services. Disruptive behavior affects nurse satisfaction and retention, and patient safety.
Rosenstein urged organizations to recognize disruptive behavior, and commit to eliminating it with consistently applied policies and procedures. General education and advanced training at all levels, and clear means of reporting incidents and providing intervention and feedback are essential, he said.
The next Initiative on the Future of Nursing forum, addressing primary care, community health, and public health, will be held December 3 in Philadelphia. To register for the webcast, or to learn more about the Initiative on the Future of Nursing, visit www.thefutureofnursing.org.

How to Use Assure, Ensure and Insure
The definitions of the three verbs assure, ensure, and insure overlap enough to make them synonyms in some cases. This article may assure you of their proper usage, ensure that you know how to use them, and insure you against being accused of poor grammar.
1Use "assure" when you want to set someone's mind at ease. It is the same as "reassure".
- I can assure you that I am not dead.
- "Stand firm in your refusal to remain conscious during algebra. In real life, I assure you, there is no such thing as algebra." (Frances A. Lebowitz)
2Use "ensure" when you want to provide a guarantee that something is certain or secure.
- To ensure your cooperation, we have posted armed guards throughout the facility.
- "To win the War, to overcome the enemy upon the fields cannot alone ensure the Victory in Peace. The cause of War must be removed." (Haile Selassie I)
3Use "insure" when you want to provide a guarantee against a risk of damage or loss. This is generally done through the payment of a premium. It indicates the assumption of liability.
- Tippecanoe Mutual will insure your vehicle for accidental damage or theft.
- "Humankind has become so much one family that we cannot insure our own prosperity except by insuring that of everyone else." (Bertrand Arthur William Russell)
- An example of all three in one sentence: As your representative, I assure you that I will ensure you can insure your home.
We could really use your help!
Programming Help?
- This article is based upon American usage in the United States.
