The Verdict: No surprise, Toews and Kane commit to long future with Blackhawksby Bob Verdi / Chicago Blackhawks
|With extentions lasting through the 2022-23 season, Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews are poised to lead the Blackhawks far into the future (Getty Images).
Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita earned statues beside the United Center, monuments to their Hall of Fame excellence.
Now successors Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane institute signature moments, one of which occurred Wednesday when they agreed to eight-year contract extensions with the Blackhawks, a franchise reinvigorated by these two prodigies.
When President and CEO John McDonough pledged to provide Chicago hockey fans with a team that annually challenges for the Stanley Cup, it sounded nice, as did Vice President/General Manager Stan Bowman's complementary vow that Toews and Kane would retire as Blackhawks.
But promises in professional sports tend to have a short shelf life, an expiration date to be identified later because of extenuating circumstances, and that's why this announcement is so significant. Commitment is a shared value within the Blackhawks, as confirmed by all parties in this example of mutual admiration and trust.
Under the industry's hardest salary cap, retaining special players to perpetuate an elite roster is difficult indeed. Never has the National Hockey League been so competitively balanced. But when Toews was asked, with negotiations involving huge numbers ongoing, whether he could imagine skating elsewhere than for the Blackhawks, and he replied, "Very doubtful," what else do you need to know about this working arrangement?
Toews and Kane were top draft choices in successive years, 2006 and 2007. The Blackhawks were not good at hockey then, but they were good at doing homework. The team barely missed the playoffs in the duo's rookie season, 2007-08, but it has been a force since, not unlike the revival that Hull and Mikita cued with a 1961 championship, following a dark decade.
Toews, the unselfish captain, has amassed 195 goals and 245 assists during regular seasons. At 26, he already has scored more game-winning playoff goals, 10, than any individual in Blackhawks history. He wins faceoffs, he centers against opponents' top lines, he gives his all on every shift over 200 feet of ice, and he is the thermostat who sets the temperature in the room.
Kane's magically soft hands have created 178 goals and 315 assists in the regular season, along with 91 playoff points. When he doesn't have the puck, adversaries brace for what he might do when he does have it. When the puck finds him, five opposing skaters are at the mercy of his sixth sense. He scores goals from tight quarters that nobody else scores, and you can look them up. His highlight clips are longer than "War and Peace."
In recent awards voting, Toews finished ninth in the balloting for the Hart Trophy as most valuable player and seventh for a berth on All-Star teams. Kane took fourth among right wings. It is a stretch, for those who watch Toews on a nightly basis, to rectify how he can be judged only the ninth most valuable player in the entire NHL.
But the flipside of these tabulations says that although Toews and Kane represent aristocracy, they are components of a gifted group, a talented mix. They stand out, but do not stand alone. Rather, they anchor a team that has won two Stanley Cups in five years, logged 94 playoff games since the sleeping giant Blackhawks awakened and performed before 277 consecutive United Center sellouts.
The Los Angeles Kings were destined, or so it might have seemed, after they prevailed in three Game 7s on the road en route to their Stanley Cup earlier this year. In a stellar effort, the Kings trailed during 26-plus playoff games for more minutes than they led, but their resilience was evident in a hard, clean and tense series against the Blackhawks. As is customary, after the parade in Los Angeles, preseason prognostications came forth.
The Blackhawks are favored to win the Stanley Cup in 2014-15. Toews and Kane are two vital components, but only two of a greater whole. No secrets here. Chicago fans have been burned by attrition in the past. Many favorite and accomplished athletes have departed for various reasons, well before the advent of a salary cap. Empty oaths prompted empty seats.
On a seminal day for the franchise, we shall not belabor the corollary during a sordid revolving-door era. To fill vacancies, management then had to overpay players, some of whom were veterans beyond their prime. Now the Blackhawks locate, develop and reward their own. Wednesday's press release was big news, but the best part for fans is that it was not a surprise.
In this enlightened era, the Blackhawks erect statues to honor the past and fortify foundations for the future. Hockey is at its best-ever position in Chicago, and Toews and Kane are still so young. It feels as though they've been around forever, and—as you were told—the plan in place is that they will indeed be around forever.
Could best become better yet?

The Padres are a bad baseball team. Actually, they have about the same record as the Pirates but what they threw out on the mound last night made it seem like they didn't belong on the field. The Pirates weren't able to capitalize with a small country on the bases early but starting in the sixth inning they piled it on with one run in the sixth and three runs in each the seventh and eighth innings. It was a close game in the first half but quickly turned into a laugher.
Charlie Morton continues to baffle me. Last night he had ridiculous movement on his two-seam fastball and it was fooling the Padre hitters. The problem became that Morton had no idea how to throw it for a strike. That led to a lot of walks and a lot of hit by pitches and in the end it resulted in Morton going only five innings and barely holding the lead.
It could have been a lot worse for Morton than it really was. In the five inning he struck out nine hitters. He had the stuff to make it work but he also walked three hitters and hit three others. The nine strikeouts were good but you can't put that many guys on base and not get burned. Morton wasn't hurt too bad but continuously putting yourself into trouble is no way to be successful. We have seen the flashes from him this year and I am just waiting for that stretch of games where he cuts out with this one inning catastrophe and settles it down with the free passes.
The Pirates bullpen trio of Jared Hughes, Justin Wilson, and Jeanmar Gomez gave up only two combined hits over the four innings they covered and the only run they gave up was off Justin Wilson who had a tough time with control, walking two hitters and giving up the run on a groundout.
The Padres pitchers that were trotted out were just...woof.
Chasing the starter after 2.2 innings is exactly what you want to do. Getting 16 hits in a game is exactly what you want to do. Scoring 10 runs in a game is exactly what you want to do. With all that being said, and all the Pirate hitters that had big nights with multiple hits, they still somehow left 16 guys on base. They left another 16 guys on base. I seriously have no idea how they got so many guys on base.
It's not like the Pirates didn't clean up thought. They went 9-for-20 with runners in scoring position and walked seven times. Sometimes when things are good they are really good. Last night things were really good.
Jordy Mercer had the biggest night of the Pirates bunch with four hits including a home run, four runs scored, and a walk. Josh Harrison and Neil Walker batted in the 1-2 spots and each had three hits while Pirates pinch hitters went 3-for-3.
Hopefully the Pirates offense stays hot tonight.

Today's recipe comes from the Bonefish Grill.
Crème Brulee French Toast (with Grand Marnier)
Serves 4
Ingredients for the French Toast
- • 1 Loaf Baguette Bread
- • 4 Ea. Large Egg Yolks
- • 2 Ea. Large Eggs, Beaten
- • 1 ½ Cups Half And Half
- • 1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
- • 1 Tbsp. Grand Marnier
- • 2 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
- • 2/3 Cup Sugar In The Raw
Cut the baguette at a diagonal into 12 each 1″ thick slices that are 4″ long. Combine the egg yolks, eggs, half and half, vanilla extract and Grand Marnier in a mixing bowl and whip with a wire whisk for 5 minutes or until mixture is light and fluffy. Place the baguette slices in a rectangular baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Turn the bread slices over in the dish and let sit in the refrigerator for 30 additional minutes. Drain excess egg mixture from the bread slices.
Working in four small batches, melt ½ Tbsp. butter in a non-stick sauté pan over medium heat. Place three slices of baguette in the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Turn slices over and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Place baguette slices on a broiler pan. Repeat until all the baguette slices are cooked. Evenly sprinkle sugar over each baguette slice. Place broiler pan under a hot broiler for 20-30 seconds until sugar is bubbly, but be careful not to scorch or burn the bread.
Arrange baguette slices on a warm platter and serve with Mascarpone whipped cream. Fresh berries and warm syrup are additional options as well….or rich chocolate ganache if you're feeling truly sinful.
Ingredients for Mascarpone whipped cream
- • ½ cup Heavy whipping cream
- • 3 Tbsp. Powdered sugar
- • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
- • ¼ cup Mascarpone cheese
Place a metal or glass mixing bowl in the freezer for 1 hour. Combine cream, sugar and vanilla extract in the bowl and beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Slowly beat in the mascarpone cheese until incorporated. Place in a clean container, cover and chill for up to 4 hours.

And as Robert has explained in another mail it needs hacks like an autogenerated control file, and use of self defined "aliases", etc. My patch, what does is integrate that functionality into the tools that handle debian source packages so we get that support for free in a clean way. I'll use a more explicit example this time: Source: bochs Build-Depends: libasound2-dev [linux-any], libsvga1-dev [linux-any], g++-3.4 [linux-m68k] Package: sb16ctrl-bochs Architecture: any-i386 The linux-m68k is just for consitency, no need to use this, but it make it clear that the dependency is not for all m68k based ports (not that we have any, but who knows :), just for the linux based one. On another thread, Goswin von Brederlow wrote: > Could we automatically define some @linux@ or @any-i386@ variables the > same way shlidbs or other substitutions work? That's exactly what my patch tries to do, but extending the recognised normal arches with some aliases that get expaned and normalized to normal debian archtitectures, the ones the binary tools can and know how to handle. regards, guillem

Teachers-In-Training Make A Difference To Young Children In Need
Fifteen recent college graduates dedicated to making a difference in the lives of young children have been accepted into the 2008-2010 class of Pearson Teacher Fellows, working with Jumpstart, a national nonprofit organization, to teach preschool in low-income communities across America. The announcement was made today at the National Association for the Education of Young Children conference.
The Pearson Teacher Fellowship gives high caliber college graduates the professional, financial, and peer support they need to become exceptional preschool teachers. By providing rigorous training and ongoing guidance and support, the Pearson Teacher Fellowship ensures that talented individuals are poised for success in the preschool teaching profession. This year's class of Fellows will begin their teaching careers at preschools in 13 cities across seven states.The Pearson Teacher Fellowship was created through a unique partnership between Jumpstart and Pearson to help passionate and dedicated individuals continue their efforts in achieving Jumpstart's mission of working toward the day every child in America enters school prepared to succeed.
Thirty-five percent of American kindergarten children enter school unprepared to learn, and five-year-olds from low-income communities have one-fourth the vocabulary of their mid-income peers. These and other statistics illustrate the direct correlation between poverty and a lack of school readiness and underscore the need for quality teachers in early education. The Pearson Teacher Fellowship works in conjunction with Jumpstart's core program, which pairs caring adults one-to-one with at-risk preschool children to strengthen each child's language, literacy, and social development.
"Early childhood education should excite curiosity, stimulate creativity, encourage the development of problem-solving skills, create and expand cognitive, language, and motor skills, and help children better understand the world in which they live," notes Teacher Fellow Lucille Muro.
Pearson Teacher Fellows commit to teach preschoolers in Head Start and other early learning centers serving low income communities for two years. Jumpstart and Pearson are committed to not only supporting Fellows in preschools, but also to ensure their ongoing success in the early childhood teaching field. By supporting new teachers in their quest to help young students realize their full academic potential, the Pearson Teacher Fellowship furthers Jumpstart's mission, provides more teachers for the field of early childhood education, expands the number of children reached by a well-trained, college-educated adults, and offers invaluable experience to the Fellows.
"To date, The Pearson Teacher Fellowship has helped more than 170 talented college graduates become pre-school teachers in underserved areas across the country," said Mark Nieker, President, Pearson Foundation. "Jumpstart and Pearson share a passion for education and inspiring people to reach their full potential, which is at the heart of the Teacher Fellowship program."
"Through our partnership with Pearson, we are able to inspire new generations of teachers to commit to a lifetime of service," said Jumpstart President, James Cleveland. "The Pearson Teacher Fellowship serves as an amazing opportunity for these dedicated individuals to get their careers in early education teaching off to the right start."

HBO has a lot of series watchers. From Real Time with Bill Maher to a slew of documentaries, VICE fits right in with the view of the world that HBO gives us each and every week. So it's no surprise that HBO has extended their relationship with VICE, commissioning daily news along with the current weekly program that airs in seasonal form.
But the type of person who watches VICE can't be constrained to offline viewing. You're here to find out how to watch VICE online, for free if possible. There are several different streaming options for HBO's VICE. Here are the most convenient. View all of our latest VICE news here.
Watch Live Vinyl with Sling Premium
Sling is a cable alternative that doesn't require much more than $20 a month to get most of your favorite channels. This doesn't include HBO or VICE, though and you'll have to add $15 for HBO to that if you want to watch VICE live that way.
You can sign up or explore the service more here. There's a 7-Day free trial so this might be a nice alternative if you want to give it a chance.
Try DirecTV Now for Free and Add HBO for $5
This is actually the cheapest way to get Vice and other HBO shows online that we know of. You subscribe to DirecTV's new service for about $35 which gives you tons of channels (almost all cable channels you could think of) and then for $5 more you can add HBO. Usually it's about $15 anywhere else. Give it a shot! There's a 7-Day free trial so it can't hurt to give it a try.
UPDATE: DIRECTV NOW is offering a $25 per month discount on the service for anyone who has AT&T Unlimited (AT&T is the parent company of DIRECTV. They're also throwing in HBO for free which is pretty amazing. This is the best deal in town, folks.
Is VICE on Netflix or Hulu?
Long ago, before the age of video streaming hit the main stream, HBO took their content off of Netflix and Hulu. This course of action happened long before VICE came to HBO so the show was never actually on Netflix or Hulu at anytime. You'll have to look elsewhere to watch Vice online because the main streaming services don't have HBO's content.
Watch VICE Online with HBO Go or HBO Now
The easiest way to watch VICE online is to subscribe to either HBO proper (through a traditional cable company) or HBO Now, HBO's stand alone service that doesn't require a cable subscription. Both cost about the same price and are almost literally the same app. The main difference is that to watch Vice through HBO Go you'll have to use your Comcast, Direct TV or DISH login to get access while HBO Now is it's own deal.
VICE is one of the programs that makes HBO "worth it". It's content you won't get anywhere else and it really changes your perspective on the world. Stream VICE online and expect to return to the world a changed person.
Download Full Episodes of VICE and Live Stream in HD Online
If you'd rather own the VICE experience for all time and don't want to worry about subscriptions, apps or streaming rights changing hands throughout the years you can always purchase full episodes of VICE on Amazon. From here you can live stream the shows from Amazon's website or suite of apps. You can also download the full episodes of VICE to your device and even watch them offline, which might appeal to the travelers out there.
The same episodes can be found on Google Play and iTunes as well. Episodes are two or three dollars each so it won't break the bank if you're only interested in a smattering of episodes for your collection.
Refrain from Pirating Episodes of VICE
Some of these reporters put their lives on the line (literally) to keep Vice online throughout the year. You owe it to them and the idea of real journalism to find a legal way to ingest this content. Streaming Vice online may be a pain depending on the country or region you're in but there are several legitimate options for doing so. Choose the one that works best for you!

I just found this site and felt I had to share: Pee Your Pants For The Brewers. Nearly 7000 Brewers fans have pledged to piss their pants if and when the Crew should ever make the playoffs. I realize that this is kind of gross, but I'm pretty sure that if the Brewers ever do clinch a playoff spot, I will do a number 1 (and likely a number 2) in my Lederhosen, regardless of any pledge, so I might as well get on board. And with all the PBR and MGD flowing at Miller Park, Derry's Pub, and elsewhere Brewers fans are to be found, I'm pretty sure most Milwaukee fans are ipso facto on board.
The site is a great trip down memory lane for Brewers fans like myself. (Not just because we started going to County Stadium before being fully potty trained.) Pledgers list their favorite Brewers, and you see some great and obscure blasts from the past, including: Rob Deer (my old favorite), John Jaha, Mike Fetters, Ricky Bones, Pat Listach, Chuck Crim, Greg Brock, and Billy Jo Robidoux…among others.
Make sure to also check out the Methods page. One of my favorites is the "Borrow a Baby" strategy:  Find a baby to borrow.  While holding said baby pee your pants and then yell out "Oh he got me. The little bugger got me good. Who's child is this?!"  Bonus points if you can get the parent to buy you a "sorry my kid peed on you" beer.
Of course, it doesn't look like Griff will be peeing her pants any time soon. (The Brewers just fell behind the Pirates in a tie for last in the NL Central, and Carlos Villanueva just walked in a run. My pants have never been drier.) But in the meantime, she can at least train (except her training will be with a PBR in hand):

Adam Wilcox named Prospect of the Weekby Michelle Holden / Tampa Bay Lightning
University of Minnesota Golden Gophers netminder and Tampa Bay Lightning prospect, Adam Wilcox, has earned the honor of Lightning Prospect of the Week.
Wilcox is second in the nation for wins in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Following a 1-0 shutout of Michigan State on Saturday, Wilcox now boasts an 18-2-5 record. The whitewash was Wilcox's third shutout of the 2013-14 season and helped to extend the Gopher's NCAA-best unbeaten streak to 14 games. The sophomore has played in 25 games with a .720 win percentage.
The Gophers, who currently sit atop the NCAA Men's ice hockey standings, have been led by Wilcox's .931 save percentage. He is also a Hobey Baker Award nominee, (an award previously earned by current Lightning defenseman Matt Carle in 2006), which is given to the top NCAA men's ice hockey player. This year's award will be presented on April 11.
Last year as a freshman the St. Paul, Minn. native registered a 25-8-5 record, this tied an 11-year-old record set by former Gophers goaltender, Kellen Briggs, for rookie wins. Wilcox also boasted a 1.88 goals-against average, setting a new Minnesota single-season record.
Next on the schedule for the Gophers is a trip to ninth-ranked Wisconsin next weekend. Minnesota will then return home the following week for its first-ever Big Ten conference series against No. 12 Michigan.

Scroll down to see dozens of haiku contributed by listeners. Add to our collected works!
In the age of tweets,
We look back to the haiku,
And its new appeal.

Many of our listeners contributed their haiku on Facebook and Twitter. We've reposted them here:
From twitter.com/onpointradio:
Lobster Truck DC. Connecticut style or Maine? First-timers decide.
A Tweet is a kiss. Bnot sloppy or careless. & time it just right.
I have chosen wrong//The past is an illusion//I can choose again
Fluffy Falling Flake / Flung upon the winds of fate / Flits past your fair face
Despite usual intentions/still sitting hypnotized/ scrolling ever down
I miss snow day fun // but now I just want to work // unemployment.
It is not the snow/ Fluff'd banks of icy silk/ It is the damn wind
Recovering from Trip to Czech Republic andBerlin: Beer! Sausage!
deaths whisper / an unwelcome friend / follows me
Harvest moon / in-between the words / how quiet
Coffee and waiting/ For the neighbor to fire/ His new snowblower
house of reps -bunch of blowhard idiots- -go get back to work.
Drunk on whiskey, eating a french bread, some sauce falls on my shoe.
snowy morning / awakened by / the weather report
afternoon thaw / the snowman / loses his balance
afternoon thaw / the snowman / loses his balance

Sony: PlayStation 4 Lifespan May Be A Little Shorter Than PS3
Sony has often said that each console - including the PlayStation 4 - is a "marathon and not a sprint."
However, how long will this particular marathon be? The PS3/360 generation was long, one of the longest in the industry's history, so maybe the freshly released console won't have quite the same lifespan.
Sony UK boss Fergal Gara believes that in fact, the next-gen cycle might be a little shorter:
"I think there's reasons to believe that the next cycle might be shorter in markets such as the UK. It's probably a sign of the times and how much has changed in seven years, but I think the willingness and the appetite to pick up new technology fast has probably changed quite a bit."
At the same time, such a prediction shouldn't be written in stone, as Gara added that it's too early to tell what the future will hold. He says Sony will have a "much better feel for it" once once they're a few months down the road. Don't forget that new contenders such as Valve (the Steambox is coming) might also have an impact on the length of the next-gen lifespan. But the initial response to the PS4 has been solid:
"What we do know is that the uptake [of the PS4] is going to be very sharp. Does that mean this is going to be a much bigger cycle? Maybe. Or it might mean that it's just a bit more compressed into the first few years, that the latter years are a little softer."

ps3 came out and PCs couldent dream of competing with it, hell the ps3 was such a leap forward the US air force bought ps3s instead of IBMs overpriced 25000 dollar blade servers!
which is what everyone speculates why $ony removed linux support, IBM was very unhappy about this which is obvious considering how much money it was costing them.
now, well, its a whole other kettle of fish.
both manufactures are going to be in trouble if they dont have new systems ready in say 5 years time.
probably even less with the rate that technology is moving.
the new introduction of 20nm chips, steambox and other competitors, 4 or even 8K resolutions, virtual reality, and so on.

Bone Strength Beyond Bone Mineral Density
KoAct®, a unique patented collagen based compound designed for advanced bone strength, offers a superior solution to bone health above calcium at a time when consumers are searching for new remedies beyond prescription drugs. KoAct®'s benefits on bone health are supported by both animal and human studies, performed by bone health experts in the research communities.
Traditional calcium supplements don't do enough to support bone strength and flexibility. Like a rigid structure in an earthquake, bones that have lost flexibility crack, shatter and break. KoAct®'s unique collagen formula delivers more than bone mineral density. KoAct® provide a strong, flexible and fibrous protein network that supports bone structure and helps bone withstand daily impact.
Bone strength and flexibility are critical in lifestyle women's sports, especially as bone density decreases and balance is often compromised over the age of 40. A supplement targeted to women with the proven benefit of bone strength could capitalize on this growing and underserved market.

Hi folks,
One of our developers has just reported this error after a simple select:

So I looked for the in doubt transaction as follows:
select * from dba_2pc_neighbors;
select * from dba_2pc_pending;
but both returned no rows.
I tried the same query and also get the same error. I bounced the database (immediate) and still get the error and all the time with the same transaction id 4.18.4935. I got the developers to bounce their jboss but no joy.
I tried dbms_transaction.purge_lost_db_entry:

Big Creek Trail, the Flattest Trail in Groveland
I am training to run my second half marathon! Hopefully in another 8-ish weeks time I will be blazing through the Davis Moo-nlight half marathon like a pro. Alternatively you might find me limping past the finish line in the horrible central valley heat . Either way, I am pretty excited for the glow in the dark medals you receive for finishing. Plus, it is convenient before Curtis & I's busiest backpacking months (so hopefully we can avoid injury from over-training/hiking?). Currently I am on week 3 of my training regimen, at the point which I decided to mix things up for today's 7 mile run, because as much as I enjoy running it can become awfully repetitive.
Normally starting from my house I can run a 6 miles (3 out and 3 back) to the start of Pine Mountain Lake's Big Creek Trail. Which is a bummer since I just made it to the interesting portion! But not today, I drove those 3 miles and parked outside the trailhead finally get to explore this trail – which turns out to be the flattest thing I have ever run in in the Groveland area! To think I have been forcing myself to run up hills this whole time ;)
Big Creek Trail
Distance: 4.5 miles round trip (2.75 miles from Pine Mountain Drive to Big Creek Shaft Road). The trailhead sign claims one mile of trail inside of the Pine Mountain Lake boundary but my GPS tells me that is an overestimate – but there are a couple of side paths on the trail which if explored could extend the distance.
Trailhead: The trailhead is located inside of the Pine Mountain Lake (PML) gates, meaning you need a gate card/pass to get to it, straight down Pine Mountain Drive from the main gate, and then located in a pull out on the right after the Big Creek Bridge. Alternatively if you can not get access to PML than you could park on Big Creek Shaft Road – there appears to be a large pullout before the Big Creek Bridge and than you can find the trail over the bridge an on the left (you will know you are on it when you see a gate to keep out unauthorized vehicles).
I have taken leisurely strolls down the Big Creek Trail before, and even started past the gate outside of the PML boundary but setting off today I did not know if the trail would suddenly end running into the creek or someone's house. As it turns out the trail follows an old railroad grade all the way to Big Creek Shaft Road – and it is moderately popular with dog walkers and power walkers alike.
I think this is a real hidden Groveland Treasure, albeit it is just a simple ~3ish mile long out and back wooded trail. The trail is flat, well shaded, has minimal poison oak encroachment (at least that I could see from running), not very many tripping hazards (and I am a trail running tripping machine), and allows pedestrians, dogs, and bikes (plus I am pretty sure one of the nearby home owners takes their horse down there too!). It is the closest thing Groveland has to a perfect little running trail!

1 recipe flaky pie dough
1 cup marshmallow cream
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 egg, lightly beaten with 2 tsp warm water
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Roll out pie dough on a floured surface to 1/8th inch thick and using a toaster pastry cutter or a knife, cut into six inch rectangles. Place rectangles on a lined baking sheet.
Stuff marshmallow creme inside a small plastic bag, seal and snip off the tip. Pipe two inches of creme in the centers of half of the pastry squares, making sure you leave a half inch around so you can seal pop tarts. Next to the marshmallow creme blobs, place a line of five or six chocolate chips.
Brush egg wash around corners of rectangles and then place a plain pastry piece of top, pressing down gently to seal. Brush tops with more egg wash.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden.
Time:30 minutes, not including time to make dough

WASHINGTON -- Diabetics who tightly control their blood sugar levels can cut their risk of heart attacks and strokes in half, a study shows.
The findings, from nearly 1,400 diabetics who have been followed for more than a decade, provide the first direct evidence that the risk of the most serious complication of the disease, which affects millions of Americans, can be minimized by aggressive treatment, specialists said.
''This is the most important diabetes news of the year," said David Nathan of Harvard Medical School, who co-chaired the study being published in today's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. ''This is the remaining piece of the puzzle with regard to our ability to take the teeth out of diabetes and make it a less dangerous disease."
Nearly 21 million Americans have diabetes, and the number is rising because of the increasing number of elderly and obese people.
Diabetics' bodies are unable to control the amount of sugar in their blood. Over time, elevated sugar levels can cause damage throughout the body, making diabetics prone to a variety of health problems that include blindness, kidney failure, nerve damage that sometimes requires amputations, and, most seriously, heart attacks and strokes.
In 1993, Nathan and his colleagues revolutionized the treatment of the disease when they reported the landmark Diabetes Control and Complications Trial, in which 1,441 patients with Type 1 diabetes were put on a strict regimen aimed at tightly controlling their blood sugar and followed beginning in 1983.
When the study began, the practice of most diabetics was to test their blood sugar once a day and give themselves one or two insulin injections daily. The strict regimen used in the study involved multiple blood sugar tests every day and a minimum of three insulin injections or the use of an insulin pump.
The results, hailed as the most important development in diabetes since insulin, showed that after about six years the strict regimen sharply reduced the risk of the most common complications -- eye, kidney and nerve damage. As a result, most doctors began to advocate the aggressive treatment approach and many patients adopted the much more intense, difficult lifestyle.
But that study was too short to determine whether strict blood sugar control would also reduce the risk of heart disease, which kills 75 percent of diabetics and is the leading cause of death among them. For the new study, researchers continued to follow 1,394 subjects from the original study until Feb. 1 of this year, to determine the impact on heart disease and stroke.
The diabetics on the strict regimen were 42 percent less likely to experience any kind of heart problem and 57 percent less likely to suffer the most serious problems, such as heart attacks or strokes, the researchers found.
''That's a pretty dramatic reduction," Nathan said. ''Short of curing diabetes this is one of the final answers in the puzzle as to whether we can decrease the complications from the disease."
The findings should push more doctors to encourage their patients to embrace the aggressive approach, and more diabetics to work harder at controlling their blood sugar levels, specialists said.
''It requires eternal vigilance and it's hard. But this is pretty definitive evidence of the value of making that effort," said Judith Fradkin of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disorders, which funded the study.
About 5 percent to 10 percent of diabetics suffer from the Type 1 form of the disease, which usually begins in childhood and is caused by a breakdown in the body's ability to make insulin. Evidence suggests patients with the more common Type 2 diabetes, in which the body either cannot produce enough insulin or cannot use it adequately, are likely to experience similar benefits, specialists said.

The trip to Indonesia was carefully thought and planned for months. Our topmost priority was to explore the ancients and widely known temples in Indonesia and one of it was the Prambanan. There has been always something on those temples that heightens my curiosity about history.
Our first day in Yogyakarta did not start right but we were still able to end it with a delightful evening with the memories of our Prambanan journey. I indicated before on this blog that we planned to spend our first day exploring the Borubudur temple. The reason for prioritizing Borobudur was to set the next day in Prambanan and to watch the Ramayana Ballet afterwards, which would be only played on that particular day. Unfortunately, we were compelled to move our schedule by visiting Prambanan over Borubudur because of time constraint.
It took us about 40 minutes to reach the Prambanan temple from the Phoenix Hotel Yogyakarta through a Grab Taxi. Thankfully, there was no traffic jam while going to the temple. We dropped off at Prambanan and purchased the combo ticket for Candi Prambanan and Candi Borobudur.
From where we stood, the ambience opened to us a wide and greenery park that surrounded the majestic Hindu temples. I felt like I would like us to spend some time sitting on the grass while savoring the calm atmosphere if only we still had the luxury of time.
After snapping few selfies, we continued our leisure walk toward the Prambanan temples along with fellow tourists and locals. The sight was something to behold that it get rid of our sleepiness. Picture perfect or instagrammable as what the millennials call it.
Just to share some facts, the Prambanan temple which was built in the middle of the 9th century was the largest temple dedicated to Shiva and was declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Moreover, it is also called as one of the biggest Hindu temple in Southeast Asia. The said temple is dedicated to the Trimurti: Brahma (the Creator), Vishnu (the Preserver), and Shiva (the Destroyer).
Prambanan temple is also known also as Candi Rara Jonggrang. The biggest temple among them all is in staggering 47 meter high dedicated to Shiva (the destroyer). Its tall and pointed architecture which was typical of a Hindu temple was impressive. I am not a Hindu but I have a great interest in Hinduism. This all started when I studied Indian literature when I was in college. I came to know more about different gods in Hinduism such as Rama and Sita, Krishna and the other Indian characters through the Sanskrit epic Mahabharata and Ramayana.
Every steps and in every turns, there would be always something which we could consider amazing on each delicate details of the temples. Everything was carefully crafted from the entrance to the bas reliefs carved on the inner walls of the balustrades.
It was truly a masterpiece of the sacred Hindu architecture. I guess it was even more breathtaking when it was not yet ruined by earthquakes. According to the historians, there were originally 240 temples, but some of it were destroyed by massive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Steven and I left Prambanan at 5:00 in the afternoon. The Ramayana ballet which we wanted to witness was something we did not tick off from the things we would like to do while in Indonesia. Maybe someday, we can watch it in another country.
The Prambanan temple looks surreal. Never in my life, I thought of that one day I would be seeing this fascinating temple. It was a great experience to explore it and we were absolutely blown away by such a great artistry.

Issue of workplace equality deserves a vote in the House
Published 4:57 pm, Tuesday, November 12, 2013
The following is from a Chicago Tribune editorial:
In 1996, by a 50-49 vote, the U.S. Senate defeated a bill outlawing job discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
Last week, in a step that dramatized how much attitudes have changed in recent years, the Senate approved a similar bill by a vote of 64-32, with 10 Republicans joining the majority.
Since 1964, federal civil rights law has forbidden employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
But gays and lesbians have no protection, except in the states and cities that have passed laws including them.
Most people, in fact, think it's already against the law to fire someone on the basis of sexual orientation. That's probably because Americans generally regard such discrimination as grossly unfair and unwarranted, and find it hard to imagine that the law would not treat it as so.
The case for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, or ENDA, is self-evident. Sexual orientation and gender identity have no more relevance to one's ability to perform on the job than skin color or religion.
The measure contains a broad exemption for religious organizations. No church or parochial school would have to employ someone who is gay or lesbian.
The fate of this bill is uncertain, since Republican House Speaker John Boehner opposes it and may refuse to allow it to come to a vote. President Barack Obama said after the Senate vote that "one party in one house of Congress should not stand in the way of millions of Americans who want to go to work each day and simply be judged by the job they do."
He's right. For a long time, gays and lesbians have been victims of a great injustice in the American workplace.
The House owes them at least a vote.

hiscore 2,560 legit
Addicting and challenging with great music, graphics and atmosphere. Couldn't ask for much more in a game like this!
It's all about the atmosphere. And the music. The dark, dark atmosphere. The end of the world. Why are exploding jet engines falling from the sky? Why are giant robots battling in the distance? Who were the engineers who designed all these collapsing buildings, and can they be sued? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? The world may never know.
One of the few games that can actually give me the shivers with the music, I'll say that, if you listen to it on the right speakers on the right computer. And if it's decently loud. Actually I can only think of one other game that can do that. Ascendancy. The music for the Minions. Though that one I guess beats this because this'll only do it if I have the external speakers connected and have the volume way up, whereas the Ascendancy Minions music once made me double over on soft volume. But I may have also been having a seizure at the same time, one can never be completely sure about these things.
I regret never successfully recording a game when I got to 40k+. The farthest I ever got with a screen recorder going was 35890 meters and that was only a horrible tiny little window that didn't capture the whole story. I got 39050 once with it going but it crashed. Too much RAM needed by it or something. I also took it as a challenge to make a shitty fanfiction. Which is up on deviantart, if anyone reading this is a glutton for punishment and hasn't been tortured enough lately. It's kind of, shall we say, hard, to come up with a backstory that isn't completely retarded for WHY this man is running indefinitely along rooftops during the apocalypse, or why he can run in excess of 100 miles per hour. Just clark kent on a morning jog to the daily planet, tee hee. But then the fall shouldn't kill him when he misses. He does kind of look like Clark Kent. The Michael Jackson rendition of Clark Kent, that is. It's too bad Michael Jackson is dead, Michael Jackson playing Clark Kent would be hilarious, I'd definitely go see that Superman movie, even if it was directed by Michael Bay, which any real Canabalt movie would inevitably have to be, especially with the giant robots in the background. Or I could get one of those camera hats, and make my own 1st person canabalt movie. That would be a hell of a suicide method, run and jump along rooftops until I fall and die. I bet it'd go viral. Too bad I'd not get to live to see the results.
A very addicting game. The music has a great sense of intense scale and the sound effects of the character running across buildings, through glass, and by spaceships is very intense. A classic game.
My best was 6427m, I think it's quite challenging this game

This is a great way to find qualified candidates.
Find us a Maine—or anyway within an hour of Portland, ME—employee and we'll give you $1,000 in books.
We did this once before. It's how we found John, our Systems Adminitrator. (John found himself, so he got his own $1,000.)
Jobs. We have three potential jobs to fill.
- Hacker. We're looking for PHP hacker. JavaScript genius and library-data experience. We hope we get two of those.
- Graphic designer/user-experience guru. Experience designing for data-rich sites like LibraryThing a must.
- Brainy, overworked assistant. Smart, flexible, organized, relentless—willing to do both high-level (strategic analysis) and low-level (send-out-these-CueCats) work. The job is non-technical, but you need to be super-comfortable around computers.
Rules! You get a $1,000 gift certificate to Abebooks, Amazon, Booksense or the independent bookseller of your choice. (Longfellow Books? Books Etc.?) You can split it between them. You don't need to buy books with it (but why do that?).

This involves the testing of an application created with  Google Web Toolkit
GWT, as I hear it's called, is being used extensively at my work. Therefore, seeing this type of application tested will really help me out. The session abstract says that they are focusing on testing for GWT that goes "beyond the gui."
They asked how many people had heard of GWT and got a big vacuuous silence.
The example shows how many emploees they have in different locations doing different tasks.
use cases for testing the app:
apply/remove filter
increaste/decrese number of items
querying the current balance
they asked the audience for more use cases. My favorite is having a user update the app in one location then have another user check in another location. Another good one, fill one field with quotes and add a sql script.
Now they are asking how many test cases you would have and it ends up being hundreds of tests to automate. How much time would it take you? How long does it take the tests to run?
The next set of questions is for the audience. How many tests are you responsible for? How often do you run them? How many are flaky? Most people are running daily sets of tests. But I think they were mostly asking about webapps.
They're actually going beyond unit tests. After talking about the architecture of a webapp, they're showing pictures of the architecture and talking about tests that excercise all levels of the app from ui to datastore and how these tests can be too big. There are also medium tests that test certain sets of layers.
Questions for testing the backend? Sending invalid requests. Removing the connection to the database and using a mock that will, at times, not answer requests or send a malformed response. What happnes if there is no table? Load testing. Each of these test would take much less time which creates an improvement over tests that would take about 15 minutes to run.
How would you want to test RPC? In htis type of test would want to mock out the rpc call/rpc backend. Use DOM objects. Use fake messages, could also mock out the servlet.
Testing in layer-pairs, communication between layers. Use lots of mocks for servelets, tables, etc.
After the integration tests, still have to system tests. Not hundreds, but maybe 20 or 15. "One test per use-case is probably sufficient"
Q: how does 20 use cases placate the customer?
A: have a discussion with customer about the other testing.
from the audience: how many people have customers who would take their word for it?
Presenters tell the guy it's an interesting topic, but they need to move on in the slides (read: EPIC FAIL)
hmm…the presenters are wrapping up, but leaving some unanswered questions. They should have just chucked the rest of their presentation and gone with the discussion.

Tennant Co.'s green-cleaning industrial scrubbers boosted the company's sales in the fourth quarter over pre-recession levels.
The Golden Valley-based maker of floor and surface scrubbers and sweepers reported sales of $193 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31, up 6 percent from the same quarter a year ago.
Reported earnings for the quarter were $11.3 million, or 59 cents per share, up from $7.7 million in the same period last year, excluding a special tax benefit. Results beat analyst expectations by 2 cents a share. Unadjusted earnings for the 2010 fourth quarter were $17 million.
"In 2011 we returned to and surpassed our pre-recession sales levels," Chris Killingstad, Tennant's chief executive, said on a call with analysts Tuesday.
For the year, Tennant reported net earnings of $32.7 million on sales of $754 million.
Killingstad said he was especially pleased with the company's results, in light of global uncertainties.
The company is betting on its chemical-free, environmentally friendly cleaning systems for growth.
Scrubbers equipped with Tennant's ec-H2O technology again posted double-digit sales gains, growing about 22 percent in the 2011 fourth quarter compared with the prior year's fourth quarter.
Tennant executives said they are shooting for 12 percent operating profit margins in the fourth quarter of 2013, up from 8 percent in 2011's fourth quarter.
"That would be difficult to do if headcount were increasing," said Joe Maxa, a research analyst with Dougherty & Co. in Minneapolis. The 12 percent goal is "achievable, but they have some work to get there."
One way to do it: Tennant is not adding employees even as revenue rises. The company employs 2,800 workers, which is 10 percent below pre-recession peak levels, said Tom Paulson, the company's chief financial officer.
"Yet we have been able to grow sales from $596 million in 2009 to a record $754 million in 2011," he said.
The company plans some price increases this year as well.
"They also have a lot of new initiatives in place to reduce various operating expenses," Maxa said.
Tennant estimates 2012 full-year earnings in the range of $2.30 to $2.45 per share on net sales in the range of $790 million to $805 million.
Tennant shares rose 2 percent to close at $43.04.

Major Party Alert! – 60th Anniversary of The Madang ClubPosted in Invitations, Madang Happenings, Parties, PNG Culture, Things to do, Upcomming Events on August 9th, 2008 by MadDog
It is a splendid treat in Madang to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of a colourful, beloved, and enduring social institution – The Madang Club.
Eunice and I have been privileged to be either members or moochers (mostly moochers, I admit) since we came to Madang in 1981.
James Sinclair, in his book Madang (DWU Press, 2006) briefly marks the birth of the iconic watering hole.
In late 1947, the first moves to establish a Madang Social Club were made. This evolved into the Madang Social and Recreation Club, the Madang Recreation Club, and finally the Madang Club, which exists to the present day.
Now we all have the opportunity to participate in this joyful celebration. Here is the invitation (click to enlarge).
It sounds like a major party to me. Fancy dress prizes . . . hmmm . It seems a great photo-op.
One of the things that I have appreciated about The Madang Club over the years is that, when nearly everything else seems to be crumbling and rotting around us, The Madang Club has been constantly improving. If decay is getting you down, keep your eyes fixed on The Madang Club – you'll feel better.
This is not a recent phenomenon. Witness Sinclair's comment on the subject in a more recent epoch:
In 1970 tenders were called for the renovations, with a dining room, kitchen facilities and a new bar area, at a cost of $35.000. The manager at this time was Mervyn Livermore. Town and country membership now exceeded 300. The population of Madang town at this time was 15,751, expatriate and national.
I'm not in the record tending business – leave that to Guinness. However, I'd guess that if you were keeping track of Madang social life since the war, The Madang Club would probably hold records for beers downed, business done, lies told, friends comforted, sweethearts wooed, wages gambled away, fistfights erupting (notably fewer these days), depression relieved, fears calmed, tasteless jokes heartily laughed at . . .
All said, it's a perfect fit.

Both the right and the left continue to point fingers in the IRS scandal.
A government officials comes forward and makes case for hearing.
Tri-State residents (some in full costume) headed downtown on May 21 to protest the IRS in light of the recent scandal that rocked both Washington, D.C. and Cincinnati. (Photo: Scott Wegener, 9 On Your Side)
Gene Beaupre, director of community and government relations at Xavier University and a longtime political observer.
CINCINNATI - For the first time in years, the media is covering the work of the Cincinnati Tea Party.
Donations are up at the conservative Kentucky 9/12 Project in Georgetown, Ky.
And attendance was nearly three times higher at a recent Liberty Township Tea Party meeting compared to the group's other get-togethers since the last election.
The reason: The Internal Revenue Service scandal, where agents in Cincinnati targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny in their applications for tax-exempt status.
While much of the media coverage of the controversy has focused on the long delays, hassles and frustrations created by the IRS's targeting of conservative groups, there's another side to the scandal.
"This was a gift," said Gene Beaupre, director of community and government relations at Xavier University and a longtime political observer. "And it was really given to them unintentionally."
Or as Kentucky 9/12 Project Executive Director Eric Wilson puts it: "I think this is the April 2009 watershed moment all over again, or at least it has the potential to be."
What Wilson refers to is April 15, 2009 when a coordinated Tea Party Tax Day protest drew more than 1 million protestors in more than 900 cities across the U.S., according to the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition.Hundreds of tea party groups have formed across the U.S. since then. And while they are loosely linked by their shared goals of smaller government, fiscal responsibility and free markets, the groups are generally independent, grassroots organizations run by volunteers.
But while tea party-supported candidates won big during the 2010 elections, the groups did not see nearly as much success in 2012. Many political pundits had opined that the tea party movement's power was fading.
Until now.
How Scandal Re-Ignites Group
The scandal erupted in mid-May when the findings of an audit, conducted by the U.S. Treasury's Inspector General for Tax Administration, publicly revealed that an IRS office in Cincinnati had improperly targeted groups with conservative terms in their names that had applied for tax-exempt status.
The disclosure ignited a political firestorm that has lead to resignations, a U.S. Justice Department investigation and Congressional hearings trying to determine who ordered the targeting and who in Washington knew about it.
The scandal has helped the tea party movement in two fundamental ways, Beaupre said.
For organizers and true believers, the scandal confirms the movement's beliefs about the overreach of big government, he said.
"It puts a sense of passion where the light was getting dimmer," he said. "And I think this brightened everything up."
It also helps people outside the movement better understand the Tea Party's point of view, Beaupre said.
The key for the movement now will be leveraging the scandal and the new spotlight it brings, he said.
Leaders in conservative groups across the region said they plan to do just that.
Donations at a Liberty Township Tea Party meeting earlier this month were "very strong," generating enough money to send a local youth to a summer camp at the Reagan Ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif., said Tim Savaglio, one of the group's board members.
That was despite the fact that, after more than three years of waiting, the group still has not received a ruling on its application for 501(c)(3) status, meaning that donations are not tax deductible.
'Teachable moment'
But even more important than money, the scandal is providing conservative groups a "teachable moment," said Wilson of the Kentucky 9/12 Project in Georgetown.
"It is shining a light on issues of big government and the overreach of big government," he said. "It's shining the light on a lot of those issues that people who align themselves with conservative values have been saying for the past four years."
How long that light shines will depend on how long the attention from the mainstream media lasts, said George Brunemann, former president of the Cincinnati Tea Party.
The fact that Justice Department's secret investigation of the Associated Press came to light the week before the IRS scandal broke has helped keep reporters interested, Brunemann said."They upset the bees in the hive," he said.
Many reporters have interviewed Brunemann. The IRS audited him and his wife, and an agent told them it was because of their connection to the local tea party group. His wife used to be treasurer.
"This (scandal) has finally given us a bigger stage to work on," Brunemann said. "The fact that Cincinnati has become ground zero is sort of embarrassing and helpful at the same time."
As much as the IRS scandal is helping conservative groups across the nation, however, they may need to moderate their message to grow their influence and win more elections, Xavier's Beaupre said.
"It's an opportunity for them to reach beyond the circle that they have," he said. "While they're energized and passionate about their beliefs now, they may want to temper it a little bit to increase the circumference of the circle."

ATLANTA — What to do with, or about, Fernando Abad?
The lefty who was so effective last year and even with a rough spring training claimed the job as the Astros' primary bullpen lefty has had command and control issues in 2011 and has played a big role in the Astros' bullpen struggles.
He has walked eight in 13 1/3 innings this year after walking just five in 19 innings last year, and his ERA has risen from 2.84 to 7.43. Part of that is his hit total, as he has gone to three balls on 24 of his 69 hitters and in consistently getting behind, has had to give in.
So what to do with, or about, Fernando Abad? Brad Mills was very vague.
"We've had some discussions about that, and we're still coming to that conclusion," Mills said. "We've gone over mechanical issues, we've gone over 'does he need more time out there.' Here's a guy who's been a strike thrower really his entire life and then all of a sudden he comes out last night during a big game and throws four straight balls.
"There's all kind of things, mechanical things, mind things, game situation things that we're discussing."
The funny part is that he's still doing his primary job well, as lefties have hit .233 with just last night's one walk (Nate McLouth) against him.
But bullpens are too short with the way modern pitchers are used to devote one purely to one out, especially with the pinch-hitting option often on the table. And righties are hitting .379 with a 1.259 OPS and seven walks and two strikeouts against him.
So what to do with Abad? Let him pitch through it, use him strictly as the one-batter guy, switch his role and Sergio Escalona's so Escalona is the primary lefty, send him to Class AAA or any of the other options?
There were no answers given, but there's a good chance we'll know soon.
• Click here to follow today's day game against the Atlanta Braves
Matt Downs is in the lineup for the second straight day, replacing Chris Johnson, while Angel Sanchez spells Bill Hall at second base. Manager Brad Mills said that the infield situation is in flux with hot hitters having the opportunity to get more playing time. More on that in tomorrow's Chronicle.

SIT4Change is an inter/national campaign that raises awareness about transformative social change: a "new" approach that recognizes the importance of personal development to achieve social transformation.
In the 4th Annual SIT4Change event held on November 12, 2011, we called for people to demonstrate the transformative power of practice at any of over 200 Occupy Wall Street events. CXC had a local SIT4Change at Occupy Oakland. We knew that many occupy sites hold space for spiritual practices daily. What we proposed was a call to action for a critical mass of spiritual, faith and transformation-based communities, groups and organizations to be invited to Occupy spaces everywhere, and that call was answered.
We would like to express many thanks for all those who participated in SIT4Change 2011. Our goal was to to demonstrate the connection between spirit, faith, transformation and achieving social justice goals. We have noted 13 sites nationally/ internationally of SIT4Change participation. We also know there were more that were not reported.
- Sydney, Australia
- San Francisco, CA
- Raleigh, NC
- Phoenix, AZ

Celebrity magazines won't be launching their usual bidding wars over the first pictures of new dad Ricky Martin and his twin boys, sources report.
"We aren't jumping like we usually do," one editor said to the New York Daily News. "We don't think he is going to tell the backstory, so the whole thing just seems kind of icky."
The price tag for celebrity baby covers recently reached a new high of $14 million for the first look at Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's newborn twins.
Ricky's representative John Reilly confirmed that they've received inquiries from various media outlets, but wouldn't comment on whether Ricky is negotiating a deal with anyone in particular.
However, a magazine insider claims nobody will be ponying up the big bucks for a cover, but that someone will end up running a photo of Ricky and his baby boys like any other news item.
"When someone seems like they are hiding something, it's a big turnoff to the public, who want to share in celebrities' lives," another editor spilled. "No one really cared about Clay Aiken becoming a single dad, either."
Somehow, we don't think Ricky is too disappointed about the lack of "interest" in his growing family. He's always been a private person, and we think he's probably just fine raising his children away from media scrutiny.
Even if he doesn't want to spill the beans about his lifestyle or how he came to be a dad, we have to admit that we can't wait to see a picture of Ricky with his boys!

An analyst working for Concord Securities has warned that Apple's iPhone 5 will be virtually identical to the iPhone 4.
Ming-Chi Kuo said the phone will start shipping after golden master of iOS 5 reaches assemblers later this month.
However, despite the rumours about an expanded display and other framework design tweaks, Kuo says there will be "no discernible difference" between the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 5. In fact, he suspects that Apple knows this and might just call its fifth generation iPhone the "iPhone 4S."
Kuo said that under the bonnet the iPhone 5 will deliver 512 MB of RAM, the iPad 2's A5 chip, 3.5-inch display, iPhone 4-comparable camera module height, and a glass front and back. This is hardly much in the way of "wow" factor. The A5 chip is probably the only highlight and the rest is pretty much "so what".
Kuo told Apple Insider that Jobs' Mob had taken great care to modify its antenna design to prevent a repeat of the "death grip" phenomenon of the iPhone 4. Still there is expected to be no visible difference between next and previous generation models of the handset.
This comment is fairly crucial as the Tame Apple Press had been talking about a redesign for the iPhone 5.
If the phone looks the same, has more or less the same spec, then why would anyone dump their old phone to buy it?
What are we saying? Apple gear is not bought on the basis of technology, buying a new phone is a religious ritual. It does not matter if the phone is the same, it just needs to have the number 5 on it and people will queue outside the Apple Cathedral of superficiality, er Store, as normal.

Using the criteria of titles that incorporate women's names, I selected nine banned books to work with. My idea was to use books that were considered for one reason or another "dirty" or somehow "improper". The range of books on my list clearly supports the absurdity and apparent randomness with which books are found to be unfit for public consumption.
To make the piece I wanted to use a process that was not only about cleaning but that was also at one point considered woman's work. I decided to wash and dry each book and use the lint produced by the loads of laundry as the final material. Obviously as the book is washed it falls a part and looses some of its integrity, words are lost and sentences are erased. Though much disappears in the process, the lint captures what does not go away and traps bits and pieces of the book. What is seen are nine panels, one for each book.
While working on this piece I noticed each books is judged and in a way censored by the process itself. Of course there is a hierarchy in literature and books considered to have more literary cache are printed on better paper. These works were able to better resist the process of washing and drying, while the "lesser" works of literature that are produced on newsprint were unable to defend themselves and their words are almost completely washed a way.
Books used:
- Go Ask Alice
- Annie on My Mind
- Madame Bovary
- Fanny Hill
- Lolita
- Julie of the Wolves
- Carrie
- Alice in Wonderland

For Chinese people or people in the know, American Born Chinese are known as ABC, and different from Chinese immigrants (be their parents or their distant cousins), they have to cope with a different set of tribulations, and many of these are psychological. This book, or rather, graphic novel, follows the tradition of Frank Chin's angry plays ("The Year of the Dragon" and especially, "The Chickencoop Chinaman") and Maxine Hong Kingston's Americanization (or rather, Asian-Americanization) of Chinese folklore in "Tripmaster Monkey", and provides a 21-century spin on growing-up Asian/American in the USA. In fact, I have to wonder whether the young brilliant author Gene Luen Yang has read Chin's and Kingston's works — he must have since these are part of the "canon" now.
All the above probably makes the book sound rather dry, it would be my fault. The book is a wonderful combination of humor, irony, insightful reflections, and great story-telling. It is a wonderful and short read: my husband, my 10-year-old, and I passed the book along and finished reading it in one night. You obviously do not have to be an ABC, or an Asian American, or an Asian for that matter, to appreciate the underlying theme of this book: you have to learn who you really are and appreciate who you are to begin to reach your full potential, and to truly feel that you belong wherever you go. The theme of "trying to fit in" will resonate with any young person (and not so young) trying to find a place in the world for themselves.
The book has won several awards, including the National Book Award for Young People.

ok so in this question i am told to find the value of 0 if the tan 0 = 9.5143
what do i do?
You can take the arctangent of both sides.
This question looks like it's missing something, however, because we're not told if theta has to be in some interval of values, like . For example, if we're told that theta can be any real number (where tangent is defined), then I would have to state the answer as (k is an integer).

1747 Bowen Map of Northeastern Germany (Saxony, Brandenburg)GermanyNE-bowen-1747
1747 Bowen Map of Northeastern Germany (Saxony, Brandenburg)GermanyNE-bowen-1747
1747 (dated) 13.5 x 9.5 in (34.29 x 24.13 cm) 1 : 3150000
The title of the map makes reference to the ceding of Silesia to the Kingdom of Prussia by the Treaty of Breslau. Signed by the representatives of Maria Theresa of Austria and King Frederick of Prussia the Treaty officially ended the First Silesian War of 1740-1742. Maria Theresa ceded most of Silesia to Prussia, and a large part of the border demarcations made in 1742 still exists as the borders between the Czech Republic and Poland.
The map includes a beautifully illustrated title cartouche along the right border. This map was prepared by Emanuel Bowen as plate no. 18 for the 1747 issue of A Complete System of Geography.
Emanuel Bowen (1714-1767) had the high distinction to be named Royal Mapmaker to both to King George II of England and Louis XV of France. Based in London from 1714 onwards, Bowen was highly regarded for producing some of the largest, most detailed, most accurate and most attractive maps of his era. He is known to have worked with some of the most prominent cartographic names of the period including Herman Moll, John Owen, and Thomas Kitchin. Despite his renown and success, Bowen, like many cartographers, died in poverty. Upon Emanuel Bowen's death, his cartographic work was taken over by his son, Thomas Bowen (?? - 1790) who also died in poverty.
