Raytheon Australia has won a training support services contract for the Royal Australian Air Force's Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornets, which will start arriving later this month.
The three-year contract is worth about A$21.5 million ($19.7 million) and the work will be done at RAAF Base Amberley, Queensland, where the service's 24 Super Hornets will be based, says Australian minister for defence personnel, materiel and science Greg Combet.
The first Super Hornet arrives in late-March, with the deliveries scheduled to be completed by the end of 2011.
"Raytheon will provide maintenance, logistics and training services to support the Super Hornet flight simulators, visual environment maintenance trainers and electronic classrooms," Combet says.
Australia is acquiring the Super Hornet fleet as an interim strike capability until it begins to receive the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, allowing the RAAF to retire its last General Dynamics F-111s in December.

Genetic Makeup of Tumors More Complex Than Thought »
"March 8, 2012 -- A small study that shows a surprising complexity of genetic changes within a single tumor has far-reaching implications for the march toward personalized cancer therapy, according to researchers.
A single biopsy from "...
Read the Genetic Makeup of Tumors More Complex Than Thought article »
Pulmonary Toxicity
Cases of interstitial lung disease (ILD) have been observed in patients receiving IRESSA (getfitinib) at an overall incidence of about 1%. Approximately 1/3 of the cases have been fatal. The reported incidence of ILD was about 2% in the Japanese post-marketing experience, about 0.3% in approximately 23,000 patients treated with IRESSA (getfitinib) in a US expanded access program and about 1% in the studies of first-line use in NSCLC (but with similar rates in both treatment and placebo groups). Reports have described the adverse event as interstitial pneumonia, pneumonitis and alveolitis. Patients often present with the acute onset of dyspnea, sometimes associated with cough or low-grade fever, often becoming severe within a short time and requiring hospitalization. ILD has occurred in patients who have received prior radiation therapy (31% of reported cases), prior chemotherapy (57% of reported patients), and no previous therapy (12% of reported cases). Patients with concurrent idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis whose condition worsens while receiving IRESSA (getfitinib) have been observed to have an increased mortality compared to those without concurrent idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
In the event of acute onset or worsening of pulmonary symptoms (dyspnea, cough, fever), IRESSA (getfitinib) therapy should be interrupted and a prompt investigation of these symptoms should occur. If interstitial lung disease is confirmed, IRESSA (getfitinib) should be discontinued and the patient treated appropriately (see PRECAUTIONS - INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS, ADVERSE REACTIONS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION - Dosage Adjustment sections).
Pregnancy Category D
IRESSA (getfitinib) may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. A single dose study in rats showed that gefitinib crosses the placenta after an oral dose of 5mg/kg (30 mg/m², about 1/5 the recommended human dose on a mg/m²basis). When pregnant rats were treated with 5 mg/kg from the beginning of organogenesis to the end of weaning gave birth, there was a reduction in the number of offspring born alive. This effect was more severe at 20 mg/kg and was accompanied by high neonatal mortality soon after parturition. In this study a dose of 1 mg/kg caused no adverse effects.
In rabbits, a dose of 20 mg/kg/day (240 mg/m², about twice the recommended dose in humans on a mg/m²basis) caused reduced fetal weight.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women using IRESSA (getfitinib) . If IRESSA (getfitinib) is used during pregnancy or if the patient becomes pregnant while receiving this drug, she should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus or potential risk for loss of the pregnancy.
Asymptomatic increases in liver transaminases have been observed in IRESSA (getfitinib) -treated patients; therefore, periodic liver function (transaminases, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase) testing should be considered. Discontinuation of IRESSA (getfitinib) should be considered if changes are severe.
Patients with Hepatic Impairment
In vitroand in vivo evidence suggest that gefitinib is cleared primarily by the liver. Therefore, gefitinib exposure may be increased in patients with hepatic dysfunction. In patients with liver metastases and moderately to severely elevated biochemical liver abnormalities, however, gefitinib pharmacokinetics were similar to the pharmacoki-netics of individuals without liver abnormalities (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY - Pharmacokinetics-Special Populations section). The influence of non-cancer related hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of gefitinib has not been evaluated.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Gefitinib has been tested for genotoxicity in a series of in vitro (bacterial mutation, mouse lymphoma, and human lymphocyte) assays and an in vivo rat micronucleus test. Under the conditions of these assays, gefitinib did not cause genetic damage.
Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with gefitinib.
Pregnancy Category D (see WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS - INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS sections).
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether IRESSA (getfitinib) is excreted in human milk. Following oral administration of carbon-14 labeled gefitinib to rats 14 days postpartum, concentrations of radioactivity in milk were higher than in blood. Levels of gefitinib and its metabolites were 11-to-19-fold higher in milk than in blood, after oral exposure of lactating rats to a dose of 5 mg/kg. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, women should be advised against breast-feeding while receiving IRESSA (getfitinib) therapy.
Pediatric Use
IRESSA (getfitinib) is not indicated for use in pediatric patients, as safety and effectiveness have not been established. In clinical trials of IRESSA (getfitinib) alone or with radiation in pediatric patients with primary Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors, cases of CNS hemor-rhageand death have been reported. There are insufficient data in pediatric patients to establish a causal relationship. There is no evidence to suggest increased risk of cerebral hemorrhage in adult patients with NSCLC receiving IRESSA (getfitinib) .
Geriatric Use
Of the total number of patients participating in trials of second- and third-line IRESSA (getfitinib) treatment of NSCLC, 65% were aged 64 years or less, 30.5% were aged 65 to 74years, and 5% of patients were aged 75 years or older. No differences in safety or efficacy were observed between younger and older patients.
Patients with Severe Renal Impairment
The effect of severe renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of gefitinib is not known. Patients with severe renal impairment should be treated with caution when given IRESSA (getfitinib) .

Selling mobile phone in favour of device with good battery may be wise move
1 December 2010 — 12:03 PM
Many of those who sell a mobile phone and put the funds towards a replacement may do well to identify a model that offers a long battery life.
Adam, writing the latest Nokia Conversations blog, reveals the results of the publication's poll to find out what drains power the most.
The top answer, with almost a third of the votes, is web browsing, which many people believe consumes more of their battery than anything else.
With almost 16 per cent of the nominations, the home screen is another energy-sapping feature, while GPS apps were named by 13.1 per cent as their answer.
Talking to friends and family, playing music and sending messages were other popular options.
The results could suggest moving to a mobile phone that offers a good battery life may be essential when next making a switch of models.
Flora Graham, writing for CNET UK, recently identified the Nokia C7 as a handset with plenty of battery to go round.
Julie Snape, head of marketing at Envirofone, says: "If you're constantly surfing the web or using the map on your phone, your battery could be taking a serious hit. Why not upgrade your handset to a model with better battery life? You could trade-in your old phone for cash!"

Cameron's a Cheater! Recap of The Glee Project, Episode 5: "Pair-Ability!"
Finally, it's time to get our Gleek on! This week's theme is pair-ability — in other words, duets, people!
For the homework segment (Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now"), Matheus was matched with Alex, while Hannah lucked out with super-hottie Damian. Samuel felt the challenge of trying to pretend to like Lindsay, and Cameron dealt with his awkwardness over having to be somewhat intimate (read: hold hands) with Marissa, since he has a girlfriend of two years at home. Um, can someone let Cameron know that this is a competition for an acting role, which may involve some acting from time to time?
Second-time guest mentor, Darren Criss, was on hand to judge. In related news, Darren Criss is hot. Anyway, as it turns out, the initial matchmaking was temporary. The contestants would be paired up again, with the homework winner getting to pick their partner. Darren felt that Samuel and Marissa stood out the most out of the bunch, but gave Marissa the edge for her ability to surprise him. As the winner, Marissa totes dumped Cameron and asked Samuel to be her duet buddy... burn! The rest of the couples were Hannah and Alex taking on "Nowadays" from Chicago, Lindsay and Cameron with "Baby It's Cold Outside," and Damian and Matheus rockin' "The Lady Is a Tramp." Loves it.
Damian and Matheus's video turned out cute, but Matheus's out-of-place Adam Lambert notes at the end were a bit much. Hannah and Alex sounded great together, but whoever picked those wigs out for them is clearly rooting for someone else. Sam and Marissa nailed their cover of "Don't You Want Me Baby." When she surprised him with a kiss at the end, he got way into it even after the director yelled cut — um, sparkalicious love connection, anyone? Lindsay decided to up her game by also stealing a smooch from Cameron to wrap up her video, which sent Cameron into a pit of guilt and regret, prompting him to call his mother and confess that he's a cheater. Yeah, weird. We'd kinda get it if he was like 12, but the guy's 21. Seriously, a "stage" kiss doesn't exactly make you Tiger Woods, kid.
Instead of picking a bottom three this week, just Samuel and Marissa made the callback list while the other three pairs all had to perform for Ryan Murphy, who would then determine who's in the bottom. Ryan loved Alex and Hannah's infectious performance of "Valerie," and called Hannah pure joy. Next, he gave Damian and Matheus props for committing to their ridiculous number ("These Boots Are Made For Walking"), and once again encouraged Matheus to build his self-esteem. At that point, Damian stood up for the little guy, pointing out how other people — ahem, Alex — cut Matheus down anytime he does show confidence. Um, can we marry Damian, like, now? Last but not least, Cameron and Lindsay tackled "River Deep, Mountain High." Ryan was impressed with Lindsay's belting pipes and inspired by Cameron to write a Christian character. Interesting.
In the end, the bottom three were Cameron (for getting outperformed by Lindsay), Alex (for being a diva), and Matheus (for not being a "smooth crooner"). The drama flew and the tears flowed when it came out that Alex was kinda thrown under the bus for telling Matheus that he can't sing as high as him. Would Alex blame Matheus if he was the one sent home? We'll never know because it was actually Matheus who sang his last notes this evening.
We can't say we're very surprised over tonight's elimination. Next week, the hopefuls will face the true test to see if they've got what it takes to be in glee club: slushies!

Police swoop in on New Zealand botmaster
- Related Blogs
FBI's Operation Bot Roast announces three arrests
June 13, 2007
Feds preparing to jail more spammers?
July 12, 2007
The sweep is part of the FBI's second phase of "Operation Bot Roast"--the same operation which resulted in four felony charges against 26-year-old Los Angeles security consultant John Schiefer.
The New Zealand suspect, who goes by the name of "Akill", came under fire after an information-sharing exercise between the New Zealand Police, the U.S. Secret Service and the FBI. He has been interviewed by New Zealand Police, and investigators have seized computers from his home.
FBI Director Robert Mueller said botnets are the "weapon of choice" for cybercriminals.
"They seek to conceal their criminal activities by using third-party computers as vehicles for their crimes. In Bot Roast II, we see the diverse and complex nature of crimes that are being committed through the use of botnets," Mueller said.
Since "Operation Bot Roast" was announced last June, eight individuals have been indicted, pled guilty or been sentenced for crimes related to botnet activity, according to the FBI. Law enforcement agencies have also served 13 search warrants in the U.S. and overseas.
FBI Cyber Division assistant director James Finch has warned users to protect their systems.
"Practicing strong computer-security habits, such as updating antivirus software, installing a firewall, using strong passwords, and employing good e-mail and Web-security practices, are as basic as putting locks on your doors and windows," Finch said.
"Without employing these safeguards, botnets, along with criminal and possibly terrorist activities, will continue to flourish," Finch added.
Most individuals identified by the FBI in "Operation Bot Roast II" are male, U.S. citizens, under 30 years old.
Liam Tung of ZDNet Australia reported from Sydney.

- Relying On Buyers For Security Is A Failure
- Every computer that is sold at retail should be secure right out of the box. How long are we going to keep deluding ourselves that consumers have the savvy or inclination to do this on their own? We don't ask automobile owners to install their own seat belts, air bags, brakes, and safety glass.

- Relying on any one thing for security...
- ...yep, a failure.
If I buy a brand new Porsche 911, I'm damned sure going to not only lock the doors, but put a solid alarm system in it, not park it in bad areas of town after dark, etc etc...
No one thing keeps it safe from theft, but a combination of things will reduce the chance of it being stolen.
OTOH, You're talking Windows here. The thing is halfway insecure right out of the box. Good luck if you want to rely on your OEM to keep you safe...
[i]"We don't ask automobile owners to install their own seat belts, air bags, brakes, and safety glass.[/i]"
Not quite a good analogy; failing to keep safe on a computer means inconvenience and data loss. Failing to keep safe in a car means you stand a good chance of getting killed.

But he does say that there will be no more new level 70 rewards, so what's out there right now is what you get. What we still don't know is whether Arena points from level 70 will carry over into the level 80 bracket, or whether there will be a complete reset of all the ratings and totals for the new bracket. There are good arguments for both sides (some players want a fresh start, while others don't want their winnings so far to count for nothing), but so far we haven't heard anything official yet.
So there are still a few things for Blizzard to decide with the higher level Arena system, but they've got time -- it's unlikely that they'll make people rush to 80 just to get involved in the Arena. It seems that when these next ten levels of content come out, Blizzard will switch some focus back to PvE and battleground PvP rather than the Arena game.

Press Release:
Tony Hawk and Friends shred Vegas for the 3rd-annual DaGeDar Presents Stand Up For Skateparks benefit.
November 8, 2011 (Vista, CA) – There's never a dull moment when you have a Vert demo that includes Tony Hawk giving an awe-inspiring performance while 14-year old prodigy Mitchie Brusco holds his own with the likes of Elliot Sloan, Andy Macdonald, and Pierre Luc Gagnon "PLG", Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins Pastrana, and BMX legend Mat Hoffman proving their pedigree on Tony's personal ramp – all during Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, musician, and Tony Hawk Foundation Board Member Ben Harper's rocking performance with his band.
The fun and excitement befitting "The Entertainment Capital of The World" was enjoyed by a crowd of 850 guests on Saturday at the 3rd Annual DaGeDar Presents Stand Up For Skateparks benefit held at Red Rock Casino ~ Resort ~ Spa in Las Vegas.
Rubbing elbows with celebrities and their families – including Holly Madison, Carrot Top, David Copperfield, 'Pawn Stars' Rick Harrison, Alison Victoria, pro NASCAR driver Taylor Barton, Tillman the Skateboarding Dog, Travis Pastrana, Sal Masekela, Mike "Rooftop" Escamilla, Rodney Mullen, Mike Vallely, Ricardo Laguna, and actor, comedian Rob Riggle – guests came together to support the Tony Hawk Foundation's mission to build free, quality public skateparks in low-income areas nationwide.
Attendees enjoyed the family-oriented action-sports festival with games, great food, one-of-a-kind auction items, and lots of giveaways.
"It was our best Vegas event by far, thanks to Red Rock, Ben Harper and the level of talent on the ramp," said Tony Hawk. "We also had some truly unique auction items that helped to raise good money for more skateparks. My kids had a blast!"
Through the generosity and support by those in attendance, the event was able to raise $640,000 for the Tony Hawk Foundation's mission to provide at-risk youth with an opportunity to participate in a fun, safe and healthy activity, including $37,000 to help create a new public skatepark in the Las Vegas area.
Funds raised through a live and silent auction – featuring the ultimate Jane's Addiction meet and greet at The Joint, Dinner with Tony Hawk at the Simon Restaurant & Lounge, a Tony Hawk Edition 2012 Ford Explorer customized by Galpin Auto Sports and DUB, and a Roland Sands Design "Hawkized" Triumph Thruxton motorcycle – contributed significantly.
DaGeDar Presents Stand Up For Skateparks was Co-Chaired by Tony Hawk and fellow THF Board Member and skate legend Mike Vallely.
The Benefit Committee included prominent supporters such as Andre Agassi, Michael "Flea" Balzary, Ron Burkle, Chantal and Stephen Cloobeck, Jamie Lee Curtis, Patrick Dempsey, Jon Favreau, Perry Farrell, Leeza Gibbons, Brian Austin Green, Robin and Danny Greenspun, Ben Harper, Mat Hoffman, Terry Kennedy, Anthony Kiedis, Bobby Kotick, Chuck Liddell, Howie Mandel, Sal Masekela, Lance Mountain, Andrew and Trina Pascal, Andrew Reynolds, David Spade, Bill Walton, and Shaun White.
In true Stand Up For Skateparks fashion, a pledge drive was announced to benefit a local Las Vegas skatepark project. Youth and their parents from challenged communities throughout Las Vegas were in attendance as Tony Hawk made a pledge from the foundation and encouraged guests to purchase an autographed Tony Hawk Birdhouse pro-model skateboard in the Silent Auction, with 100% of proceeds going to a new skatepark in Las Vegas.
Through November, you can also support this project and receive a signed Tony Hawk skateboard. Go to www.skatelasvegas.org to make your pledge.
Tony Hawk launched his Stand Up For Skateparks fundraiser in 2004 with the goal to increase the number of safe, legal, healthy recreational outlets for youth in low-income communities across the U.S. To-date, the Tony Hawk Foundation has helped fund 493 public skateboard parks, which now service more than 3.5-million youth annually.
DaGeDar Presents Stand Up For Skateparks was made possible through the support of Ex Drinks, Activision, Red Rock Casino ~ Resort ~ Spa, Kohl's, Quiksilver Foundation, Tech Deck, and Sweetwater Video. To learn more about the benefit, please visit www.standupforskateparks.org.
A charitable, non-profit organization, the Tony Hawk Foundation was established in 2002 by its namesake, professional skateboarder Tony Hawk, to promote and provide funds for high-quality public skateparks in low-income areas throughout the United States—with an emphasis on the word "quality."
Since then, the Foundation has awarded $3,972,350 to 493 communities. The Foundation focuses on working with local officials and grassroots, community-based organizations that plan to hire designers and contractors with strong experience designing and building skateparks.
The Tony Hawk Foundation was established by a gift from Tony Hawk. Its directors raise additional funds through events, industry donations, and continuing contributions from Tony and other entities. In addition to skateparks, the Foundation also makes donations to other children-related charities, as chosen by its Board Of Directors. For more information or to make a donation, visit the Foundation's Web site at www.tonyhawkfoundation.org.

Name of product:Multiple Canons owned: G2, EOS 10D, 5D, 1Ds
Latest Canon owned: 5D Mk 2
Approximate date of purchase:March 2011
My Review
My 5D Mark II is my latest in a successive series of Canon cameras that I own or have owned. I like the quality and the 5D Mark II is simply awesome. Full-size sensor and large viewing screen with real-time viewing if desired. I have the optional two battery pack, which seems to last and last. The thumb-wheel is intuitive and makes quick adjustments easy. There is a large selection of lenses. Picture quality is superb and 21 megapixels allow huge enlargements. The HD video is also great. Changing between still and video is quick. The only reservation I have is that the moisture sealing seems to be it's Achilles' heel. Moisture can enter the camera and cause havoc where other cameras seem to be unaffected. The camera stopped, came back after placing it in a climate-controlled area but needed a lot of work, including a new shutter 1 1/2 years later. Canon stated "corrosion." A rain cover may trap moisture. I may bring my old 1Ds where moisture could be a problem. But I still love the 5D Mark II, it is a great camera overall.
Camera "pros"
Superb picture quality, easy handling, HD video, great selection of lenses, regular seminars by, or organized through, Canon
Camera "cons"
A bit pricey, moisture ingress in spite of a rain cover.

In order to become a senior flavourist, you must be prepared to serve a long apprenticeship, says Buchanan. "You can't go to school to learn to be a flavour chemist. You have to learn from your seniors," he explains. "Starting as a technician and working your way up is best, but a lot of people aren't willing to do that." He says it took 10 years before he could call himself a flavour chemist.
Buchanan once worked on sauces and sweets, and he is clear about the advantages of moving around the business. "Everything affects flavour, including plastic packaging," he explains. "I did a lot of packaging work at Colgate-Palmolive, which added a lot to my experience and knowledge. I would recommend working outside your area of expertise as it makes you more valuable."
Tim Finnigan, head of innovation for Quorn and Cauldron Foods, both of which specialise in products containing alternatives to meat, says that interest in food research and development is growing. "A lot of people think the sector is about low skills and low pay but this couldn't be further from the truth," says Finnigan, adding that companies such as the huge Northern Foods conglomerate are offering bursaries to students studying for any food science-related course, through their own charitable foundation.
The policy-maker
AS HEAD of the novel foods, additives and supplements division of the Food Standards Agency (FSA), Clair Baynton works with scientific advisory committees and collaborates with staff from across the agency on issues such as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the nutritional benefit of supplements. Another facet of her job is to support government ministers, briefing them with relevant information to handle parliamentary questions and debates.
When, in April, the agency recommended phasing out six artificial colourings following a study at the University of Southampton that linked them to hyperactivity in children, Baynton was right at the heart of the decision-making process. These decisions put Baynton in the media spotlight. "Dealing with high-profile incidents involves media activity," she acknowledges. "You have to be able to present yourself and your subject, and explain science in very basic terms."
Baynton's big break came when, thanks to her background in molecular biology, she got the job of senior scientific officer in what is now the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, where she advised on GMOs. But while specialising in an area relevant to an organisation's remit can provide a good entry point to a job, there may also be openings available at a lower level. "As well as specialists we need general scientists who are flexible," she says. "Studying science gives you the basic skills you will need for the job; you just need to think about how you will apply them."
The brewer
"YOU tend to get the engineering-type brewer and the biologist-type brewer," muses John Keeling, brewing director at Fuller, Smith & Turner, who discovered his love for the industry after leaving school aged 16 and getting a job at Wilson's Brewery in Manchester. Having worked there as a laboratory technician, Keeling left to pursue a degree in brewing at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. "Brewing is a very specialised area," he says.
Fergal Murray, too, certainly knows something about the job. Now a master brewer at Guinness, he has worked in the industry for more than 25 years. He says entrants from all backgrounds find that they have to diversify their skills because there are so many factors involved in successful brewing. Even computer scientists can find themselves a niche in the industry. "Improvements in the software world and the use of computer technology have changed the job of brewing," Murray says.
Keeling's advice for anyone wanting to get involved in brewing is to get a summer job to "try it out and find out what interests you".
Keeling also notes that large and small breweries can offer very different opportunities. "Working for a small brewery is a craft. It's like being a chef, as the emphasis is on taste and not creating efficiency." On the other hand, a larger brewery offers general experience that can be of use to someone who subsequently wants to work at a smaller outfit, as the smaller breweries are interested in people who may be able to introduce industrial-scale efficiencies into their operation. If you're not totally sure what kind of place you prefer to work at, Keeling advises approaching the big brewers first.
The academic researcher
WHAT is it about kopi luwak, a coffee bean recovered from the dung of wild civets, that makes people willing to pay up to 10 times the price of the next most expensive coffee variety?
One person who has been trying to find out is Massimo Marcone, assistant professor in the Department of Food Science at Canada's University of Guelph in Ontario. A biochemist, Marcone worked in horticultural research and then moved into food science, eventually specialising in the field of delicacies. "The field isn't as bizarre as you may think - many are common foods with an uncommon twist," he says.

As China gains dominance on the world stage, more and more multinational corporations will need to rethink their assumptions about competing under its state-capitalism model–one in which the government is the principle economic driver.
So says Ian Bremmer, president of the political-risk consulting firm Eurasia Group. Bremmer discusses the fundamental distinctions between state capitalism and free-market economies, as well as the strategic implications this has for Western companies and governments alike in an excellent, albeit too short, McKinsey Quarterly video interview. McKinsey Publishing's Rik Kirkland conducted the interview in New York.
Key takeaway: What China needs, Western corporations are increasingly loathe to provide. Watch the interview.

Mobile By Matt Miller Sep. 8, 2005 11:51 am
PDAGeek readers may remember when I wrote about the Treo 650 possibly being the ONE, followed by my full review of the device back in the spring. Well, I tried the two-device solution for a couple of months, then seriously thought about picking up the TORQ P100 Phone Edition until I read that T-Mobile was rolling out EDGE; unfortunately, the TORQ doesn't support EDGE. I then took a look at what was available, and the Treo 650 looked like the best choice for an EDGE-enabled device. I found a great deal on the Brighthand forums for a complete Treo 650 package, and I received it a couple of days ago. I discovered that you can customize the ROM on unlocked GSM Treos, so I went and made my own ROM image. I took out RealPlayer and Versamail, along with the language stuff. I then put in RescoBackup, DocsToGo (main prc), MyBible, PowerRun, and Uninstall Manager. So far things are working great. I installed Agendus Mail SSL (needed for Gmail) as my e-mail client, along with several other applications (SplashBlog, SplashPhoto, TideTool, PocketTunes, Handmark Express, Mobipocket Reader Pro, etc), and I still have 17 MB out of 23 MB available in RAM. My biggest concern with the Treo 650 in the past was the low volume level, but I found VolumeCare, which seems to solve that problem for US$15. The Treo 650 has the best one-handed operation functionality I have ever experienced in a mobile device, and I am very happy to be back together with a Treo 650.

|Treo 650 IS the one! (12:09pm EST Thu Sep 08 2005)
I've had my stock Verizon 650 for about a month, allowing me to scrap my dedicated cell phone and continue uninterrupted use the Palm OS begun with a 512K USRobotics Palm Pilot 5000 some time in the previous century. It was hard to say goodbye to the Graffiti area and the silk-screened buttons, but the Treo is a better PDA than my Clie and a better phone than my Motorola. Can't beat that. - by Dinosaur

|No substitute for good usability (4:14pm EST Thu Sep 08 2005)
Treo 650 is tops when it comes to usability. The story does talk about potentially dangerous ROM mods which can lead to unexpected behaviours – I think ROM tinkering is a bad idea. - by MetaD

|I would switch back too… (4:37am EST Fri Sep 09 2005)
…if I didn't play on the net so much. The Treo really isn't the best at alot of things, such as browsing the internet, but it is usually a simpler user experience overall. I really liked mine.

Yeah, Treo 650 is quite a neat convergence device. If only it had that 3.7″ 320×480 pixels screen, which seems to be the standard on Palm-powered devices nowadays. Well, I guess I'd just have to stick with my T|T5 until a better device hits the stores.

Heard: WSJ Column Suggests Shriveling Of The Ivy League
By Wired Academic on March 24, 2012
Blended Learning, Cost of Education, Education Quality, Flipped Classrooms, International, Minorities, Open Source Education, Required, Universities & Colleges
Holly Finn writes about the online learning revolution in The Wall Street Journal's Marvels online column recently. She works at the Skoll Foundation and writes about how technology and science are affecting people. She synthesizes what most of us following the education innovation world already know… but turns a few fun paragraphs in her column … and she suggests a general decline of elite educational institutions like Harvard, Yale and Stanford given online learning trends, which is interesting as she attended Yale:
These schools have much to recommend them: impressive students, organic dining halls, presidential alumni. To maintain their reputations, however, elite colleges have long relied on limiting access—Harvard's class of 2015 is about 1,700 students, Yale's is 1,300—and that may be coming to an end. Revolutionaries outside the ivy walls are hammering their way not onto campus but straight into class.
It is education's time to change now. At the high-school level, interactive study sites are increasingly ingenious: Look at Piazza, Blackboard and Quizlet, founded by a 17-year-old. TED-Ed just launched a channel on You Tube, with three- to 10-minute lessons for kids. YouTube's EDU Portal has been viewed 22 billion times. Khan Academy, a favorite of Bill Gates, has four million unique users a month and thousands of educational videos, from "Napoleon's Peninsular Campaigns" to "Python Lists." If you think that last one is about snakes, please download Khan's new iPad app immediately.
"The current search for new educational funnels must be reversed," wrote Austrian philosopher Ivan Illich, in "Deschooling Society." He called for "educational webs" woven among us all. That was 1971. Today, Web courses don't just meet but beat their impersonal offline counterparts. Studies show that tutorial-style teaching is more effective than lecturing (as Oxford and Cambridge have known for centuries), even when prerecorded. Mr. Thrun's online students told him that the course felt more personal.
To be truly egalitarian, classes will need to go not just online but mobile. Still, the upshot of it all is clear: more smart people is better. Just watch that ivory tower topple.

"Home from Home perfection."
We (3 Adults and 2 Kids 2.5 yrs and 7 mth old) arrived after a speedy and comfortable Taxi ride from the Airport to our perfect holiday home.Katy the Owner greeted us upon arrival and talked us through.She had contacted me before our arrival to offer additional baby equipment and had thoughtfully supplied everything we needed.Unlike any self catering we've ever stayed in this Home feels like you're staying at your best friends house.Tin foil,Shower Gel,Dishwasher tablets....it's all here.NOTHING has been left out.We were also greeted with a welcome basket of Wine,Olives,fresh Coffee etc.The location is peaceful and extremely tranquil.There are lots of lovely areas to the property that if you were a party of couples you would still have space and privacy.All the furnishings and equipment are beyond expectation.The Pool and Gardens are beautiful.We didn't have a Car and spent most days by the Pool and in the Town which is lovely and has all you need if you didn't wish to drive.We took the Bus to Sitges very easily.Some of the roads including the road the house sits on are very steep.Its a fabulous House for total relaxation and very family friendly.We shall book again.

"Special Holiday"
This is a fantastic property with everything we needed for a special holiday. From the high standard of the indoor accomodation to the fantastic outdoor patio, pool and bar areas.
Set in a superb location overlooking the mountains and the nearby vineyards, just a couple of minutes walk from the village shops, bars & restaurants and only a 10minute car or bus journey from the wonderful seaside resort of Sitges with it's shops, restaurants, bars and fantastic beaches and also only a 30/40 minute train or bus ride from Barcelona City centre.
We can't recommend this property highly enough for anyone looking for excellent accomodation to use as a base but also be close enough to get out and about.
Thank you for helping to make our holiday special.

"Fantastic house and garden near Barcelona and beaches"
We stayed in Can Guru for one week with three kids, and found it a perfect holiday home. It only takes 45 minutes by bus to Barcelona city center, and 10 minutes by car to marvellous beaches in Sitges. The house is really beautiful and fully equiped. The garden is verdant with many sitting areas, great pool and sun terrace. In Sitges we found very good restaurants and fancy shops. We would love to come back!
6 Jun 2013
"Fantastically relaxing and great facilities, will certainly be coming back for more."
The house has everything and is perfectly positioned for easy access to Barcelona and Stiges. If you need a break to switch off and re-charge then don't hesitate to book now. The new addition of the pool means that you can enjoy your holiday without needing to step out of the Village.

"Lovely views and great location"
This place has beautiful views, quiet location yet within easy walking distance of local shops and restaurants.
The owners have excellent taste in home furnishings (so much better than any hotel) resulting in a stylish place to stay. Everything is provided to make your stay home from home. Parking is secure as well.
Will return. Highly recommended.

"Comfortable and stylish home from home in excellent location"
We very much enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed, with the pool being a superb added bonus for the 4 children we had with us. Location was great, as we could visit local bars and restaurants on foot, or plan great days out a little further afield in Barcelona and Sitges.
6 Mar 2013
"Home from home, except I don't have a pool at home"
A wonderful comfortable, homely house with great style. Being on the edge of the town/village means it's peaceful but it's walking distance from the main shops (great bakery too), bus stop to Sitges and Barcelona. A well equipped kitchen with all you need for entertaining or outdoor barbeques. And not to forget the lovely pool to cool you off in the summer months.

Areas of Interest:
My area of specialization is social psychology. My main area of interest is how interpersonal and intergroup conflict affects the experience of the self.
Research Interests/Professional Service
Road Rage
Road rage has recently received a lot of attention in the media. Little systematic research, however, has addressed this social concern. My research explores social psychological and social-cognitive factors that may contribute to road rage. In a survey recently completed, I found the tendency to get angry while driving is more likely in younger drivers and those who drive more. More than one-quarter of those surveyed reported driving more aggressively when they get angry on the road, and 20 per cent reported that they fantasize about physically expressing their anger. Also, being in a rush, feeling morally superior to the other driver, and making personality attributions for the other driver's behavior were all associated with greater anger while driving.
The Self In Interpersonal Conflict
It is a well-documented phenomenon that interpersonal conflict has a negative effect on how individuals think and feel about the other person—or persons—in the conflict. However, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the effect of interpersonal conflict on one's self-concept—the perceptions and evaluations one has surrounding one's self. In my dissertation research, I attempted to understand these consequences. I proposed that since the self is defined and understood in the context of close interpersonal relationships—such as friends, family, and romantic partners—conflict in these close relationships will have negative consequences to one's self-concept. During or just after such conflicts, one is likely to feel more uncertain and more negative about one's self. In contrast, in more distant—stranger or acquaintance (and even intergroup)—relationships social comparative processes dominate. Thus, conflicts with more distant others may actually have positive consequences to one's self-concept, allowing one to feel more bounded, stable and superior in one's sense of self. These predictions were generally confirmed in an experimental test of conflict with friends or strangers.
Attributional Biases in Intergroup Conflict
In competitive situations, intergroup biases (e.g., favoring one's own group) are often expected. Yet, such biases are often the source of much distress and hostility, and people are often unaware of their own biases, the biases others attribute to them, and the role such attributions play in their own and the other's actions and reactions. My research (with colleagues) in this area examines such attributions and reactions to them. In a recent study, we compared respondents' reactions in two contexts: (1) they won a competition over an outgroup competitor and the judge of the competition shared group membership with them; and (2) the outgroup competitor won the competition but here the judge shared group membership with the competitor. As expected, people attributed their own success to their ability (and not bias), but the other's success to bias on the part of the judge. Also, their other reactions (e.g., anger) and response depended not only on their attributions, but their expectations of the competitor's attributions. They felt the other should agree with them when bias had occurred or not.

RegexOneLearn regular expressions with simple, interactive examples.
Lesson 1: An Introduction and the ABCs
Regular expressions are extremely useful in extracting information from text such as code, log files, spreadsheets, or even documents. And while there is a lot of theory behind formal languages, these sets of lessons and examples will explore the more practical uses of regular expressions so that you can use them as quickly as possible.
The first thing to recognize when using regular expressions is that everything is essentially a character, and we are writing patterns to match a specific sequence of characters (also known as a string). Ascii, or latin, letters include those on your keyboard as a subset, and unicode characters can be used to match foreign text. They include digits and punctuation and all the special characters like %#$@!.
Below are a couple similar strings, notice how the text changes to highlight matches as you type. A pattern that matches all the strings below may be as simple as the exact letters that are common in each string. If you enter a pattern that does not match all three strings, you will be notified in the results column.
|Try typing the first three characters 'abc' to see them match all the lines.

The city is connected to the Imperial City by the Gold Road, which runs southwest through Skingrad and Kvatch. The city itself is home to 70 NPC's including a host of guards led by an Imperial named Langley. Millona Umbranox is the countess of Anvil; her husband Corvus Umbranox has been missing for many years. Anvil is home of the Great Chapel of Dibella, which contains 3 priests. The city also is home to Hauls-Ropes-Faster, the expert trainer in Athletics. M'aiq the Liar will make his way between Leyawiin, Anvil, and Bravil. It is possible to spot the rare Khajiitr outside the entrance of Anvil.Anvil started out as a small settlement of huts that harbored pirates, thieves and criminals. During Camoran Usurper's invasion of Tamriel Anvil was let unattended and illegal activities flourished. It is during this period in time that the pirate Captain Torradan ap Dugal became famous. He was able to organize the Anvil pirates and form the Red Sabre with only one goal in mind; dominate the trade routes and supply lines between Hammerfell, the Summerset Isles, and Cyrodiil. In 3E 267 after the defet of Camoran Usurper the Empire set a fleet of ships, under the command of Commodore Fasil Umbranox, to disband the Red Sabre. Fasil Umbranox was able to to kill and capture most of the Red Sabre pirates and force a showdown with Captain Torradan ap Dugal and his infamous Black Flag ship. Fasil Umbranox, with the help of the Imperial Battlemages, was able to collapse the large stone outcropping that Dugal was hiding in. Dugal and his crew survived the collapse and where able to live for years in the cave that formed. As for Commodore Fasil Umbranox, he burned Anvil to the ground. The Empire gave him the title of Count of Anvil and he was given the necessary gold to re-build the city. He also built his castle right on top of the collapsed outcropping in which the Black Flag lay.DistrictsThe follow districts are defined by Guide to Anvil by Alessia Ottus.Chapelgate - Chapelgate refers to the area right inside the Castle Gate. It contains the Chapel of Dibella, a courtyard to worship across the street from the Chapel, and a graveyard next to the courtyard. Between the Chapel and the wall is a statue of Dibella with a Foxglove plant at its base. Trevaia will sell Restoration spells inside the Chapel. There are also two rare books inside the Chapel: 2920, Frostfall (v10) and The Adabal-a. Guildgate - Guildgate is the area right inside the Main Gate. It contains a great tree in its center with the Mages Guild, Fighters Guild, Heinrich Oaken-Hull's House, Benirus Manor, and Morvayn's Peacemakers all circling the tree. To the side there is also a pond with a statue of a mermaid. Westgate - Westgate is where the bulk of Anvil's citizens live. The homes are all large, two story buildings that are run down and starting to show their age; there is even an abandoned house. Harborside - Harborside is the location of Anvil Docks. The area contains an inn and two stores, two ships docked at port and the famous Anvil Lighthouse. Castle Anvil - Castle Anvil is located outside the city on its own island. The castle is home to Countess Millona Umbranox. According to Alessia Ottus the Countess is well-loved by the people.Citizens The following is a list of NPC's that call Anvil home: Countess Millona UmbranoxBaeralornBeatrice GeneColin StedrineCount Corvus UmbranoxDairihillHeinrich Oaken-HullGoganLangleyMaelonaHieronymus LexAzzanHuurwenLlensi LlaramRhanoRufrius ViniciusSten the UglyVigdisCarahilFelen RelasMarc GulitteThaurronMandilOrrinEnilrothMaenlornNorbert LellesVarel MorvaynWilburDumania JirichLaralthirTrevaiaImus the DullPenniless OlvusAnguilonHauls-Ropes-FasterIsoldeKrognak gro-BrokThurindilTimotheeLaRoucheVarulaeFaustina CartiaSignyHome-WreckerTsarrinaClesaErnestAenvirArvena ThelasAstia InventiusCaenlornCaptain BaszonePatneimDidier AumilieDranas LeranoFirst Mate FilchGorgo gro-ShuraHasathilHirtelJesan SextiusMirabelle MonetNewheim the PortlyPinarus InventiusQuill-WeaveRusia BradusS'shaniStorn the BurlyA StrangerUlfgar Fog-EyeVelwyn BenirusWilhelm the Worm Breakdown:22.9% Imperial18.6% Bosmer (Wood Elves)14.3% Redguard11.4% Nord11.4% Breton7.1% Dunmer (Dark Elves)4.3% Altmer (High Elves)2.9% Orsimer (Orc)2.9% Argonian2.9% Khajiit Downloadable ContentThe Chapel of Dibella is attacked at the start of The Knights of the Nine.The Thieves Den download will place Dunbarrow Cove behind Anvil Castle.

COLUMBUS, Ohio—"I really enjoyed the combination of color, music, and motion—very enjoyable," said Executive Director Randy Snyder of Shen Yun Performing Arts International Company. Mr. Snyder and his wife Tess joined the very appreciative crowd at the Ohio Theatre on Feb. 9.
New York-based Shen Yun aims to revive 5,000 years of divinely inspired culture and share it with the world.
"A Shen Yun performance features the world's foremost classically trained dancers, a unique orchestra blending the sounds of both East and West, breathtaking backdrops, splendid costumes, singers—together creating an experience that's leaving millions in awe," their website states.
The couple had never seen Shen Yun before. "Very good, the colors were just spectacular," said Mrs. Snyder.
The colors of the hundreds of handmade often strike audiences as breathtaking.
"I'm a musician, play some guitar, mostly in churches, So I appreciate the music side of it, but it's beautiful to see all the color," said Mr. Snyder, who heads up Financial Services at Franklin University.
He felt that Shen Yun's orchestra which combines both Eastern and Western instruments was very beautiful.
The ability to blend these two musical traditions "to create one fresh, harmonious sound is what makes the Shen Yun Performing Arts Orchestra unique," the website states.
Mrs. Snyder felt it all was "very good, everything was very good. I'd recommend it."
While, Mr. Snyder summed up his experience as "a very enjoyable explosion of color, music, and motion."

Reviews for the Toshiba Qosmio X500-12N
Source: Itsvet HR→EN
Single Review, online available, Short, Date: 10/05/2010
NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M:
Essentially a renamed GTS 260M but with higher clock rates (412 versus 396 Gigaflops, according to Nvidia). The GTS 360M delivers high-end performance with GDDR5 graphics memory.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
The Core i7-740QM is a high-end quad-core CPU for laptops (in 2010) with a relative small base clock rate and a high Turbo Boost max frequency of 2.93 GHz (for one core). Therefore, it combines the advantages of a slow clocked quad core CPU with a fast single core one. Compared to the faster Core i7 mobile CPUs, the 740QM only features 6MB L3 Cache.

18.4": 18 inch display size is a rare and very big size for desktop-replacement laptops. Laptops with 18 inch displays did not exist before 2008. The DTR-laptops can't be carried easily, need much energy but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.
