ASUS Eee PC 1215N Review: Atom and Ion, Back Together Again
Introduction and Design
You don't hear much about Atom these days. It's still there, still kicking, still being stuffed inside an endless stream of netbooks. Yet it's also not very exciting, and hasn't created much buzz. This isn't a case of a journalistic blind spot; Atom just hasn't been update. The original was released in 2008, but Intel hasn't released a major performance upgrade since. By comparison, the performance of mainstream mobile laptop processors has, in some benchmarks, doubled over the same time-span. The processor performance of Atom, measured relative to the power of an average $600 laptop with a Core i3 dual-core, is actually becoming worse over time.
Yet Atom has still dominated the laptop market because of one reason; there was no other alternative. For the first time, however, that's changing. AMD has released its Fusion APUs, and we recently reviewed two different laptops with two different versions of that technology – the single-core E-240 in the Toshiba Satellite C655D and the dual-core E-350 in the Sony Vaio Y.
Generally, we found that AMD's Fusion was somewhat better than Intel's Atom, with the primary advantage being graphics performance. However, we last received an Atom netbook for review just over a year ago, when we took a look at the ASUS Eee PC 1201N. Since then, Atom has received some clock speed increases and Nvidia has released a new generation of Ion technology. ASUS has harnessed these improvements to create the ASUS Eee PC 1215N, the successor to the laptop we reviewed a year ago. Let's take a look at the guts of this machine.
The ASUS Eee PC 1215N was actually released into the wild a few months ago, but it remains at the cutting edge of Intel Atom netbooks. The Intel Atom D525 processor housed inside it is the most powerful Atom currently available, and is generally found in nettops and all-in-one PCs rather than netbooks (the "D" prefix ostensibly stands for Desktop). Most Atom processors are still saddled with Intel's GMA integrated graphics, which is grossly underpowered by today's standards. The inclusion of Nvidia's Ion is a big selling point, and one that puts the ASUS Eee PC 1215N light-years of ahead of the average Atom powered netbook – but with AMD's Fusion APUs now available, the Atom+Ion combo has a fight on its hands.
While this will be an interesting review from a performance standpoint, the Atom processor isn't the only product on trial here. When the Eee PC 1201N was reviewed a year ago, we praised its design and performance, but found it stuffed from an awkward position due its price of $470, just a stone's throw away from budget ultraportables. The ASUS Eee PC 1215N is currently listed on Newegg for $489.99. Does this new model succumb to the same pricing issues as the original?
The ASUS Eee PC 1215N uses the company's clamshell design language, which amounts to little more than the excessive use of rounded corners to make a netbook appear somewhat smaller and slicker than it really is. The Eee PC 1215N is worthy of such a treatment, as it measures 1.4 inches thick at the rear. The junk in this netbook's trunk is a large battery that's impossible to hide, but the clamshell design does its job; the Eee PC 1215N feels only slightly thicker than your average netbook.
Most of the netbook is plastic, but the material quality is top notch. Despite a price that undercuts the previously reviewed Sony Vaio Y by over $50, the ASUS Eee PC 1215N is substantially nicer to touch. The lid and the palmrest of our review unit were coated in a matte maroon finish that seemed to change colors completely under different lighting. Out of the box it was dull red, but under brighter light it seems to turn pink, while dim lighting brought out a rusty orange hue.
While certainly attractive, don't make the mistake of thinking you won't have to worry about fingerprints because of the matte finish. The material seems to absorb the oil from your hands quite readily, resulting is discolorations and dull spots that linger until buffed away. I do have to wonder how this netbook will look after a year of use. I suspect that the spaces most commonly occupied by your palms will become permanently discolored.
Potential smudges aside, the Eee PC 1215N looks and feels like a netbook that is all grown up. The matte finish is professional, and the chassis itself is quite sturdy. The lid does not deform significantly under pressure, and the gaps between plastic panels are small. Upgrades could be better handled, however; while the plastic lid that covers the RAM is secured by just one screw and easy to remove, there is no easy access to the hard drive.
Video News
Really stayin' a head of the curve on this one. Good job beatin' the competition to it.
Hah, you card!
Yes, this model has been on the market for awhile. It's still relevant, however, and I think it is interesting to look at in light of our recent AMD Fusion coverage.
I'm happy to see the E-350 doing well out there. I built a windows home server off of one of the ASUS boards and am very happy with it. I know they aren't meant for things like video encoding but I have been queueing up videos in handbrake for it to encode so I can turn my main computer off. The really sad part (for me) is that the E-350 is actually faster at video encoding than my main computer (an Athlon 64 3000+). I've done some comparisons and the E-350 is about 30% faster than my current main computer - how far we have come. As soon as Z68 drops though I will be upgrading. Can't wait.
That is pretty good praise for the E-350 indeed!
Bought this netbook for my wife. It's a pretty good netbook. It runs all of her apps easily, including some internet java and flash games. Some games are too intensive for it, but that's somewhat expected on a netbook. One of the biggest advantages is the HDMI port. HDMI is very hard to find on a netbook right now, and this is one of the few that have it. We hook it up to our TV and play movies a lot, and it plays them just fine. I love the size and portability. The battery life isn't as great as advertised, but it's still tons more than I'm used to on my regular laptop. It usually lasts about 5-6 hours.
The big downside to this netbook is the trackpad. It's HORRIBLE! It works sometimes, other times it registers that im trying to zoom in or out of a screen and brings up a arrow diamond thing that is really unhelpful. Tried playing with the control panel functions, but it only helped slightly. It still bugs out real bad at times. Expect to buy a seperate mouse for this thing. I bought a small wireless mouse and it works well.
Small size
Battery life
Powerful enough to do most tasks
HDMI port!!
Trackpad is horrible; plan on buying a new mouse
I like this web blog very much, Its a very nice post to read and incur information.

Deep Brain Stimulation
New York City- An estimated 10 million Americans suffer with essential tremor (ET), also known as familial tremor, a progressive neurological condition that causes trembling in different parts of the body, usually the hands, head, voice, legs or trunk. Often this condition is confused with Parkinson's disease, but they are not the same. The most differentiating symptom is ET patients experience the tremors while performing an action, while those with Parkinson's disease only experience the tremors while they are at rest.
There are a number of medications that are used to treat ET, but over time many patients find that the medication becomes less effective in controlling their tremors. In fact, only about half of ET patients receive substantial relief from medication. For those patients who have a severe, disabling tremor that prevents them from performing daily tasks and don't respond to medication, a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation (DBS) may be an option. DBS involves placing one or two electrodes into the brain and connecting them to a pacemaker-like device that is implanted into the chest. The electrical current that flows to the brain significantly reduces the ET symptoms and improves the patient's quality of life.
Watch Dr.Robert R. Goodman, Chair of Neurosurgery for St. Luke'sand Roosevelt Hospitals and Beth Israel Medical Center, implant the electrodes into the brain of an ET patient. The surgery was performed at Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. Dr.Goodman followed up with the patient six weeks later and we share the life-changing results.
Dr. Goodman is an expert in using DBS to treat a variety of movement disorders including ET, Parkinson's disease and dystonia. He also has expertise in treating brain tumors, epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm and hydrocephalus.
To make an appointment with Dr. Robert Goodman for a consultation on deep brain stimulation at Roosevelt Hospital in NYC, please call (212) 636-3666. To learn more about the department of neurosurgery, please visit www.RooseveltNeurosurgery.org.
Dr. Goodman received his MD and PhD degrees from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He completed a general surgery internship at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, did a post-doctoral laboratory research fellowship in Neurology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and completed a neurological surgery residency at Columbia's Neurological Institute. He was a Visiting Fellow in Epilepsy Surgery at The Montreal Neurological Institute for Epilepsy Surgery.

First Time Cruisers
We know that a fabulous destination experience doesn't just happen overnight. It takes planning. Not to worry, however, because World Vacations Group is committed to making the process as seamless as possible. Have a cruise question? Get answers with this helpful guide.
Click on the links below for tips on what to pack, details on your tickets and documentation, passports and much more.
Before You Sail
- Tickets & Documentation
- Passports & Visas
- What to Pack
- Special Dietary Requests
- Specials Occasions
- Guest Protection Program
- Baggage
Arriving & Departing
On Board
Before You Sail
Tickets and Documentation
After receipt of final payment and required guest information, cruise documents will be sent to guests approximately twenty five days prior to departure. If you are on an RSSC air/sea program, your flight itinerary will be issued wherever possible in the form of e-tickets. Airlines have mandated that all travel agencies and cruise lines issue e-tickets on all e-ticket eligible itineraries. If passengers require a paper ticket on an e-ticket eligible itinerary, airline fees will be accessed
Passports & Visas
Passport and Visa requirements may vary depending upon nationality. It is the guest's responsibility to obtain a passport that is valid for six months after your cruise begins for all international destinations. For U.S. citizens embarking on a cruise that begins and/or ends in U.S. ports (i.e.: Alaska, New England & Canada, Bermuda and most Caribbean cruises,) government-issued photo identification together with an original or certified copy of your birth certificate or your naturalization certificate is usually acceptable. Even then, ports such as St. Maarten are now requiring passports.
Blanket visas through RSSC cover only their shore excursions, not trips that passengers decide to do by themselves. It is the passengers responsibility to determine passport and visa requirements for their cruise itinerary. It is the guests' responsibility to ensure that they are in possession of all required visas and travel documents prior to sailing.
What to Pack
Attire ranges from country club casual to informal and formal. Country Club casual (resort-style outfits) is appropriate for daytime on board ship or ashore. Evening attire can be Country Club casual, informal or formal. Casual wear includes open neck shirts, slacks and sport outfits. For informal evenings, dresses or pantsuits, coats and ties are suggested. Formal evening-wear is gowns and cocktail dresses, tuxedos, dinner jackets or dark suits. Cruises of seven to ten days have one or two formal nights; longer cruises of eleven to fourteen days usually have three formal nights.
Special Dietary Requests
Using the Guest Information Form, please advise Regent Seven Seas Cruises between four and six weeks prior to sailing of any special dietary requirements you may have. General dietary needs such as low salt or low cholesterol foods can be satisfied onboard the ship just by speaking with the dining wait staff.
Special Occasions
If you are celebrating a birthday, anniversary, honeymoon or other special occasion during your cruise, please inform your Regent specialist so they may advise the the ship on your Guest Information Form of such occasions between four and six weeks prior to departure.
Guest Protection Program
We strongly encourage guests to obtain some form of trip cancellation and medical coverage as Medicare and many other health plans do not cover participants traveling outside the United States. RSSC has arranged for a comprehensive passenger protection program that provides health and baggage insurance, together with other benefits, at competitive prices. The cost of this protection plan is calculated based on the price you pay for your cruise, and will be automatically charged unless declined at the time of booking or in writing at the time of Final Payment. Complete details on terms and conditions are fully presented in the Description of Coverage insert included with RSSC invoices. Please ask your Regent specialist for more information on other types of trip insurance.
The amount of personal baggage allowed on Regent vessels is not limited, but airlines do have limitations. The customary allowance per person is two checked pieces that must not exceed 107 inches (273 cm) when length, height and width measurements are combined. No single piece may exceed the three-dimensional sum of 62 inches (158 cm) and a weight of 70 lbs. (31.75 kg).
Arriving & Departing
Embarkation / Disembarkation
Embarkation times will be included in your final cruise documents. Please arrive for boarding during these times, but no later than one hour prior to the time of sailing. Regretfully, early embarkation is not possible. However, on occasion, the ship may board guests as soon as the ship is ready. For disembarkation, guests should plan on vacating their suites shortly after the scheduled arrival time into port. Cruise-only guests should not schedule flights prior to four hours after disembarkation (five hours for San Jose).
Custom Inspections
Upon returning to the United States, all baggage is subject to inspection by U.S. Customs Service. Guests originating or terminating their cruise in a foreign port may also be subject to inspection by local customs officials. Residents of the United States are allowed a duty-free exemption of $400 per person and those over the age of 21 may include one liter of liquor and one carton of cigarettes in their exempted purchases.
Business Services
Business equipment is available, including fax machine and copy services. Fax reception is complimentary; fax transmission and ship-to-shore phone calls are available at standard tariffs. For a nominal fee, guests may send or receive e-mail via computers on board.
Beauty Salon / Barber Services
Beauty salon services and spa services including manicures, pedicures, facials and a variety of spa treatments are available by appointment on all ships. Unfortunately, to ensure proper scheduling, these services may not be pre-arranged. However, once on board, the ship's dedicated staff will make every effort to accommodate your schedule.
Shore Excursions
A program of shore excursions may be made available for purchase on board each ship. A shore excursion booklet will be sent in advance with final documentation. Regent Seven Seas reserves the right to withdraw any shore excursion or land program if the required minimum passenger number is not met. Cancellation by RSSC of any of these programs does not constitute grounds for cancellation of your cruise. Shore excursion program fares are per guest and subject to space availability. Operation of these shore excursions is subject to weather conditions, flight schedule changes and local conditions. Any cruise cancellation penalties remain in effect as per terms and conditions outlined in the cruise brochure.
Gratuities are not expected on board; they are included in your cruise fare.
Medical Services
Each ship has a licensed and registered doctor and nurse for professional and emergency services, which are available at customary charges. The ships' medical centers are designed to provide medical care for certain temporary illnesses and accidents, and are not intended or capable of providing on-going treatment of pre-existing medical conditions. For guests requiring oxygen equipment, an oxygen concentrator is the only form of oxygen equipment allowed aboard ship, and must be provided by the guest. RSSC wheelchairs on board are for emergency purposes only.

About City
Chicago is the largest city in Illinois and the seat of Cook County. It stretches for 22 mi along the southwest shore of Lake Michigan in the northeast part of the state.
The first white men known to have visited the region were Louis Joliet and Jacques Marquette in 1673. The first permanent white settler was John Kinzie, who is sometimes called the Father of Chicago. He took over a trading post in 1796 that had been established in 1791 by Jean-Baptiste Point du Sable, a black fur trapper. Fort Dearborn, a blockhouse and stockade, was built in 1804 but was evacuated in 1812, at which time more than half of its garrison was massacred by Potawatomi and Ottawa Indians loyal to the British.
The name Chicago is thought to come from an Algonquian word meaning "onion" or "skunk."
Laid out in 1830, Chicago was incorporated as a village in 1833 and as a city in 1837. In the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, an area of the city about 4 mi long and nearly a mile wide—more than two thousand acres—was totally destroyed. However, much of the city, including the railroads and stockyards, survived intact, and from the ashes of the old wooden structures there arose more modern constructions in steel and stone.
Today, Chicago is a major Great Lakes port and the commercial, financial, industrial, and cultural center of the Midwest. The manufacturing industries dominate the wholesale and retail trade, and trade in agricultural commodities is important to the economy. The Chicago Board of Trade is the largest agricultural futures market in the world.
Among Chicago's many attractions are the Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum of Natural History, the Jane Addams–Hull House Museum, Navy Pier, and numerous architectural landmarks such as the Sears Tower and Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House.

"Interoperating with" isn't the > same as "currently implements". Don, Any chance that you could write up a little document about what can be done to TFTP clients and servers to make them more reliable? A while ago I found out, the hard way, that the standard Linux server and some random embedded board's client did not want to work when the server was my laptop with a (slow) PCMCIA ethernet card. I've also seen that it's easy for a server to get congested enough that clients give up. As for multicast TFTP, it's a weird beast -- you have to synchronize all your nodes (so much for "ripple booting" to minimize the power surge), and if you have packet loss somewhere, it's usually the case that everyone gets hurt. Neither of these are optimal things to do. -- greg

The Lineup for 2008
Yesterday, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist announced that he will not run for President in 2008. You can read his statement here. Frist's announcement didn't make a very big splash; many observers hadn't taken him seriously as a Presidential candidate in any event. I see Frist's withdrawal quite differently, for two reasons. First, while I have spent only a samll amount of time with Frist, I found him very impressive. »
"Sad" Nancy Pelosi
The other day, Nancy Pelosi was asked about President Bush's statement that al Qaeda is responsible for the surge of violence in Iraq. Pelosi responded that "the 9/11 Commission dismissed that notion a long time ago and I feel sad that the President is resorting to it again." But of course the 9/11 Commission said nothing about al Qaeda's involvement in post-invasion Iraq. Its findings pertained only to the situation »
Power Line Forum Reorganized
The Power Line Forum has turned out to be very popular, but not quite in the way that we'd envisioned.

Some do that, but most go straight to the Forum and start a topic on whatever they're interested in at »
Happy Birthday, Winston!
Winston Churchill was born 132 years ago today. Blog of the Week Gay Patriot has an appreciation. Which reminds me that I must have missed the Claremont Institute's annual Churchill Dinner this year. Probably because I wasn't invited… Our situation is a little different from the one Churchill faced in the 1930s. Rather than being a voice in the wilderness, our Churchill is actually President.

It's Official: Iran Arming Iraqi Militias
ABC News reports that according to U.S. defense sources, incontrovertible proof now exists of Iran's material assistance to Iraqi Shiite forces: U.S. officials say they have found smoking-gun evidence of Iranian support for terrorists in Iraq: brand-new weapons fresh from Iranian factories. According to a senior defense official, coalition forces have recently seized Iranian-made weapons and munitions that bear manufacturing dates in 2006. Iranian-made munitions found in Iraq include advanced »
Dartmouth's Indian wars — President Wright speaks
Here is what the president of Dartmouth College, James Wright, told a group that attended a rally to protest what some perceive as offensive conduct towards the college's Native American community: Dartmouth is a place that values traditions-as do I. The Native American tradition is deeply embedded in our history. Two hundred and thirty six years ago, a group of native students came here to study. The first native student »

More troops for Baghdad?
The latest National Review editorial calls on President Bush to send more troops to Baghdad. The editors hope that by defeating "the Sunni insurgency" there we can increase our prestige and the prestige of president Maliki, at the expense of the increasingly popular anti-American thug Moqtada al-Sadr. In my view, sending more troops into Baghdad now would be a major mistake. First, Anbar province, not Baghdad, should be our highest »

Subscribe To Marvel Studios May Announce 2016 And 2017 Films Next Summer Updates
I've already subscribed
Marvel Studios has announced its schedule up until July 31, 2015, which is the newly minted release date for Edgar Wright's Ant-Man, but it's plans beyond then remain a complete mystery. Disney has already etched out three weekends for Marvel properties in 2016 and 2017, but all of them remain mysteries. Because Marvel has so many options to pursue, from Black Panther to Doctor Strange to more sequels for Thor and Captain America, at this point in time the big question isn't necessarily "which character is going to get their own solo movie next?" but rather "when are the are titles going to be announced?" Now we have a fairly vague answer to that question.
With a chance to speak with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige at the recent press junket for the upcoming Thor: The Dark World, Movies.com took the opportunity to ask about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and when we might start hearing some announcements. Asked about the possibilities of seeing a Doctor Strange movie, which Feige actually promised for Phase Three back in January, the film exec responded,
"Doc Strange, as I've been saying for years, is a movie I believe we should make -- we're just figuring out how to make it a great movie. It is in active development right now. Whether that's one of the movies we announce for 2016 or 2017, we have to see. I think it'll be the middle of next year before we announce officially what the post Ant-Man films will be."
"Middle of next year" can almost be taken as a confirmation that we will be hearing some big news at San Diego Comic-Com 2014. After all, the studio does have an exciting history with the event, just this past summer using the venue to announce the title of Joss Whedon's The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Last year they officially revealed that Guardians of the Galaxy - due out next summer - was in the works, and the year before that was when Whedon, Jeremy Renner, and Mark Ruffalo took the stage for The Avengers.
In the same interview Feige was also asked about the possibilities of getting to see a female superhero get her own movie, and whether or not they were aiming to get it done before DC Comics and Warner Bros. could do so. While the Marvel President admitted not knowing any details about DC and WB's plans, he pointed to the strong female characters already present in the Marvel universe and suggested that there could be place for a solo movie in 2016 or 2017. Said Feige,
"I know we have numerous exciting female heroes, whether none of them are currently slated, some of them are in development -- frankly, you can look at what Jane Foster does in [Thor: The Dark World], look at Pepper Potts literally saving the day and defeating the bad guy in Iron Man 3, and I'd say we already have great female heroes that are showcased and play major roles in our universe now. Captain America: The Winter Soldier, as you will see, features Black Widow in her biggest role yet in any of our films. In terms of a solo standalone female hero, I'm not sure when that will be. We make two movies a year, we've planned through 2015 and we have some ideas of what we're doing in 2016 and 2017, so we'll see what happens."
Thor: The Dark World will be in theaters on November 8th, so stayed tuned in the next couple weeks for more of our coverage.

Yesterday, in a 5-4 decision, the Court held that bringing a drug dog onto the curtilage of a house constituted a search under the Fourth Amendment. This seems like common sense, but given the Court's sui generis treatment of drug dogs in the past, it wasn't actually a slam dunk.
Scalia wrote for the majority (and was joined by Thomas, Ginsberg, Sotomayor, and Kagan), and though I haven't yet read the opinion, the reasoning seems like it should follow pretty clearly from his opinion in Kyllo. Scalia relied in part on the reasoning used in last year's GPS case.
Best line (seen excerpted elsewhere):
We have accordingly recognized that "the knocker on the front door is treated as an invitation or license to attempt an entry, justifying ingress to the home by solicitors, hawkers and peddlers of all kinds." Breard v. Alexandria, 341 U. S. 622, 626 (1951). This implicit license typically permits the visitor to approach the home by the front path, knock promptly, wait briefly to be received, and then (absent invitation to linger longer) leave. Complying with the terms of that traditional invitation does not require fine-grained legal knowledge; it is generally managed without incident by the Nation's Girl Scouts and trick-or-treaters. [emphasis added]
The Court then held today that the Federal Tort Claims Act applies to law enforcement acting within the scope of their duties–any activity in the scope of their duties, not merely investigation or law enforcement. I don't know anything about the FTCA, but anything that can help hold law enforcement accountable is a good thing, right?
Standard disclaimer: I'm just a law student. If you rely on anything I've said here, on your own head be it.
*Why, yes, I am cheering SCOTUS in a cryptically titled blog post. You probably thought this was going to be about gay marriage or DOMA.

Legislation by Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Silver Lake) to beef up enforcement of penalties for hit-and-run offenses unanimously cleared the Public Safety Committee this week.
The bill, which passed on a 7-0 vote, now moves on to the Appropriations Committee, where Gatto is chairman.
Assembly Bill 184 extends the statute of limitations on hit-and-run crimes to three years after the crime or one year after a suspect is identified by law enforcement, whichever is later.
Under current law, a suspect identified after the three-year statue of limitations expired cannot be prosecuted.
The legislation comes as authorities continue to search for the driver of a minivan who severely maimed a cyclist near Griffith Park last month.
Authorities last week announced a $25,000 reward for details leading to the arrest and conviction of the hit-and-run motorist who struck 36-year-old Damian Kevitt Feb. 17 on westbound Zoo Drive. He was dragged 600 feet under the motorist's minivan until he was dislodged on the southbound Golden State (5) Freeway onramp.
Kevitt had to have his right leg amputated as a result of the incident.
At a press conference, Kevitt's mother, Michele Kirkland, said the incident "was about one person who made the wrong decision and in a cowardly moment tried to get away and made things a lot worse."
Kevitt, an avid cyclist and church counselor, has remained under the care of a team of surgeons, who have been treating his broken arms, legs, ribs, wrists, fingers, shoulders as well as a severe road rash at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center since the crash, she said.

No. 4-ranked tennis player Andy Murray was unceremoniously dumped this weekend by ladyfriend Kim Sears. Apparently his "seven hours a day" video game habit was a factor behind the split. We've obtained an EXCLUSIVE TRANSCRIPT of the pair's final conversation:
Kim Sears: What the hell are you doing?
Andy Murray: Finishing my game.
Kim: No! You promised me breakfast!
Andy: Breakfast schmreakfast. Look at the score, for Christ's sake! I'm only in the middle of the second and I'm winning 12 to 2. Breakfasts come and go, Kim, but Hartford? The Whale? They only beat Vancouver once, maybe twice in a lifetime!
Apparently Murray had a thing for Call Of Duty. Esteban 85, you've been warned.
This is Katie Baker, btw.

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
Wall Street fell sharply on Monday as a seemingly endless back-and-forth on Capitol Hill ratcheted-up the chances of a government shutdown.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
As of 3:15 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbled 142 points, or 0.93%, to 15115, the S&P 500 dropped 12.3 points, or 0.73%, to 1679 and the Nasdaq Composite slumped 16 points, or 0.42%, to 3765.
The Senate passed a continuing resolution to avert a midnight government shutdown, striking House amendments that would have delayed the enactment of ObamaCare by one year and repealed the medical device tax. The legislation now moves back to the House for consideration.
However, it appeared as though the Republican-controlled House would once again try to add language that would impact ObamaCare -- President Barack Obama's signature health-care law. Sources told Fox News the body may look to delay the individual mandate -- a cornerstone of the legislation -- by a year. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has already said that will face sure demise in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
"The past forty-eight hours have seen a significant rise in the developed-markets political risk temperature, with a U.S. government shutdown now considerably more likely and eurozone political risks on the rise," analysts at Citigroup warned clients late Sunday.
Nomura also began ringing the warnings bells, telling its clients: "It is still possible that some sort of compromise can be reached before the existing authorization expires at midnight on Monday. However, developments over the week end suggest that a government shutdown, starting on Tuesday, now appears to be the most likely outcome."
The first shutdown since 1996 would likely have limited economic impacts, according to several Wall Street economists. However, hundreds of thousands of so-called "non-essential" government workers would be furloughed and many services would be temporarily halted.
There are also concerns among analysts that the gridlock seen in Congress is likely prelude to a messy fight to raise the debt ceiling before the October 17 deadline. The affects of breaching the debt ceiling would likely be far more severe and uncertain than a shutdown, traders and economists said.
Meanwhile, tension mounted in Italy -- a hotspot during the years-long eurozone debt crisis. Prime Minister Enrico Letta called for a confidence vote in Parliament in the hopes of shoring up support for his government -- but there was the potential for the 17-member currency bloc's No. 3 economy being thrown back into deep political turmoil.
On the economic front, the Institute for Supply Management-Chicago's gauge of manufacturing activity in the U.S. Midwest rose to 55.7 in September from 53 the month prior, exceeding expectations it would edge up to 54. Readings above 50 point to expansion, while those below indicate contraction.
In commodities, U.S. crude oil futures dipped $1.37, or 1.3%, to $101.49 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline slid 1.1% to $2.632 a gallon. Gold fell $6.60, or 0.5%, to $1,333 a troy ounce.
Elsewhere, Macy's (NYSE:M) said it plans to hire 83,000 seasonal workers during the holidays, up by 3,000 from 2012.
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 slid 1.3% to 2882, the English FTSE 100 dipped 0.89% to 6455 and the German DAX fell tumbled 1.1% to 8568.
In Asia, the Japnese Nikkei 225 plummeted 2.1% to 14456 and the Chinese Hang Seng sold off by 1.5% to 22860.

If you have or know a solar project, please submit it to us for consideration as a featured project using Submit an Item. http://www.solaripedia.com/302/submit-an-item.html
More than a quarter of the world's population burns fossil fuels for light, resulting in about 190 million tons of CO2 being emitted into the air each year. A small company - Nokero – has developed a solar light bulb that promises to reduce those emissions as rural and remote areas of the world adopt this technology. The company recently improved its own technology by developing the N200, a small, lightweight, waterproof and durable bulb that could put an end to the dangerous and polluting practice of burning kerosene fuel for lighting. In fact, the name "Nokero" is derived from the words "No Kerosene." The Nokero 200 burns brighter and lasts longer than the original N100, and it's estimated to use 200 times less energy than a kerosene lamp consumes.
The following article is about the Nokero Solar Light Bulb:
Nokero bulb to light way for rural communities
by Allie Gardner, November 2010, Clean Energy
Inventor Steve Katsaros isn't one to waste time. In January of 2010, Katsaros had a bright idea to design and create the world's first, and only, solar-powered light bulb. By June, he had launched Nokero, a solar light bulb company based in Denver, and began distributing solar light bulbs to countries around the world.
A patent lawyer, Katsaros didn't have any experience in the solar industry prior to launching Nokero, but had toured a solar factory in China and the Edison estate in Fort Myers, Florida. He credits these trips as planting the seeds of his idea, though he says at the time he had no idea about the widespread need for such a product in the developing world.
"The idea came to me late at night," said Katsaros. "I woke up and drew it up. Then I quit the law firm where I'd been working as a patent lawyer and devoted myself to Nokero full time."
Now, only five months later, Katsaros has already improved upon his original N100 light bulb design and has just released the N200—a longer-lasting version with increased brightness and energy storage. The N200 burns 60 percent brighter than the original and lasts for six-plus hours, rather than four, on a single charge.
As quickly as Nokero was launched, success has followed.
The N100 and N200 solar light bulbs are now sold in over 60 countries, and the company is manufacturing 50,000 bulbs in November alone.
Katsaros notes that success isn't about making money, but about saving lives—1.6 million people a year die from kerosene lighting fires, and an additional 1.6 are estimated to die from indoor air pollution caused by kerosene lanterns.
"Nokero stands for No Kerosene, and the N200 will strengthen our effort to end the dangerous and polluting practice of burning kerosene for light," said Katsaros in a press release.
Already the N200 is being used in Pakistan where refugees from flooding and war-torn areas have been using them to safely light camps at night. The solar bulbs are expected to arrive in Iraq soon where residents can use them to replace expensive diesel generators. The bulbs are also being used to light an orphanage in Kenya where children are improving their education and safety by using the N200 to study at night.

Classic chicken, leek and fennel pot pie Total time: About 1 1/2 hours Servings: 8 to 10; this makes 1 (9-inch) pie. 5 cups chicken broth 1 cup diced carrot 2 1/2 pounds chicken breasts and thighs (skin on, bone-in) 1/4 pound diced bacon 1 small fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly sliced (about 2/3 cup) 2 leeks, white and pale green parts only, rinsed and sliced into thin rounds (about 2 cups) 1 onion, diced 5 tablespoons butter 5 tablespoons flour 2 1/2 cups milk 2 tablespoons lemon juice, more to taste 1 tablespoon lemon zest 1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley Salt and pepper 1 recipe basic savory pie dough (No. 1 or 2), chilled 1 egg, lightly beaten 1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. 2. In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottom pot, bring the broth to a boil. Add the carrots and reduce the heat to a simmer, cooking until the carrots are slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken pieces and continue to simmer until the chicken is just cooked through (it will be firm and opaque), about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain the chicken and carrots from the liquid (discard or save the liquid for another use). When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove and discard the skin and bones and chop the meat roughly into 1-inch pieces. Set aside. 3. Heat the Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until it has browned and rendered its fat, stirring frequently, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels, leaving the bacon fat in the pot. Add the fennel, leeks and onion, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly translucent. Stir in the chopped chicken and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 more minutes to marry the flavors. 4. While the vegetables are cooking, in a medium, heavy-bottom saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until thoroughly combined to form a roux, then whisk in the milk. Increase the heat and stir constantly just until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. 5. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables and stir to incorporate. Stir in the lemon juice and zest, reserved bacon, rosemary and parsley. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and one-fourth teaspoon pepper, or to taste, and add additional lemon juice if desired. Remove from heat. 6. Separate the chilled dough into two equal-sized balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into rounds approximately 13 inches in diameter. Line a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with 1 round, and fill with the chicken mixture. Cover with second round of dough, trim the edges and crimp to seal. 7. Brush the top of the pie gently with the lightly beaten egg and cut a few small steam vents in the top. Place the pie on a cookie sheet and bake until golden and fragrant, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly before serving. Analyzed using basic savory pie dough No. 1.

Be on lookout for mail theft
'Tis the season for mail theft and scams according to Pine County Chief Deputy Steven Blackwell. After reporting a ne'er-do-well in my own mailbox last Sunday, a follow-up phone call with Blackwell provided some helpful information for rural residents in foiling the grinches who wish to steal Christmas.
"Pay attention and remove the opportunity," are Blackwell's words of advice to prevent becoming a victim of theft, either of money, gifts or even one's identity.
During the holidays, he says, thieves are searching mail for gift cards and cash in Christmas cards and packages. "If you know you won't be home [to receive mail], get a neighbor to collect your mail," Blackwell advised. Sometimes thieves will follow half an hour behind a mail route. "UPS people are aware," he said. "Call 911 if you have vehicle information or other tips related to these types of thefts," Blackwell said.
Thieves are looking year-round for prescription medications being delivered to homes as well as pre-approved credit card offers. Coupled with personal information found in utility and other bills, Blackwell said thieves will try to open a credit card account in your name and run up charges.
Blackwell said scams target the elderly all year long. "If someone's asking you to put out money to get money, that's a scam," Blackwell warned.

Week 51 - Thursday
by, September 19th, 2013 at 08:13 AM (1553 Views)
I had a good nights sleep and felt good when I arrived at the pool this morning. The workout was a mix of short and long today with th elong being on quite fast short rest type send offs.
Warm up
16x50 free with snorkel on 50
Main set
4x400 on 4.30
16x75 swum as 25 kick with snorkel, 25 catchup drill, 25 swim on 1.10
2x300 on 3.15
Warm down
100 double arm back
Total 4300scy
I descended the 400s going 4.20, 4.17, 4.14, 4.10. I swam the first 4 of the 75s as active recovery and then got into a nice rhythm on the last 12 and felt strong. The 300s was a serious mental effort, but went 3.05, 3.00. I was really tired after this workout and could of done with a longer warm down but ran out of time.
I am swimming the corporate challenge on Sunday so will likely miss weights on Saturday but will probably lift tonight. It's my daughters birthday today so we had birthday cake for breakfast. She has a private coaching class tonight so we decided to do presents last night and then birthday cake for breakfast this morning. What ten year old does not like cake for breakfast! We will go out for dinner after her class so it will be a rush tonight.

New precision tool aids in application planning and resistance management, putting real-time data in growers' hands
Recently unveiled, the Enlist™ Ahead app offers growers and applicators vital herbicide application information from a single source. The app, designed for use with the Enlist Weed Control System, is a precision agriculture tool for maximizing weed control performance, managing weed resistance and making responsible applications of Enlist Duo™ herbicide with Colex-D™ Technology. Regulatory approvals are pending for the Enlist system.
"With the Enlist Ahead app, growers and applicators will be able to carry important application data with them as they move from field to field," says Damon Palmer, commercial leader, Enlist Weed Control System, Dow AgroSciences. "Two key features of the app — the application planner and the Mode of Action Calculator — will help them make informed decisions for their weed control program and herbicide applications, maximizing their herbicide investment and getting the most from the Enlist technology into the future."
The Enlist™ Ahead app is part of the Enlist Ahead management resource, which provides technology advancements, management recommendations, training and education. Parts of the app are powered by Crop Management Data Systems (CDMS), a leading provider of software services and agricultural databases.
Planning for a responsible application of Enlist Duo herbicide
The herbicide application planner in the Enlist Ahead appcombines real-time, localized weather data; capabilities to map crop fields and trait technologies; and other important considerations for growers and applicators to review before making a responsible herbicide application.
Users of the Enlist Ahead app can record the application rate, boom height and nozzle selection. Pulling in local environmental conditions from the closest National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather station, the app will show wind speed and wind direction. The local weather will continue to update during the application, allowing applicators to make any necessary adjustments based on weather changes.
After the herbicide application details are entered, the app compiles the information and informs the applicator if conditions meet label requirements and best management practices from Dow AgroSciences.
"We can take the app with us and keep up to date on the latest weather so that we know we are applying Enlist Duo in the right conditions," says Brett Reiss, grower research plot participant.
In the future, the Enlist Ahead app will allow growers and applicators to access information from sensitive-crop registries, which will enable them to locate specialty crops in relation to fields planted with crops using the Enlist™ system.
"With this app, we'll give farmers and applicators one tool where they can view all the critical information for a responsible application of Enlist Duo and maximize their weed control performance," Palmer says.
Manage weed resistance with Mode of Action (MOA) Calculator
Using multiple modes of action helps growers prevent and manage resistant weeds. With the MOA calculator, growers will select the herbicides they plan to apply to their Enlist crop, including a foundation herbicide and a postemergence application of Enlist Duo. The app will indicate whether the herbicides entered are in different herbicide groups.
Based on the number of modes of action in the products selected, the app also will indicate whether the weed control program entered is good, moderate or poor with regard to resistance management.
Enlist Ahead app keeps additional reference tools within reach
Within the app, growers and applicators will be able to refer to labels of other herbicides in addition to the Product Use Guide for Enlist, tank cleanout practices and label for Enlist Duo. These tools will help growers and applicators make a successful application of Enlist Duo™ herbicide.
The Enlist Ahead app will be available for download for both iOS and Android tablets once the Enlist™ system is commercialized. Pending regulatory approvals, Dow AgroSciences expects to launch Enlist corn and soybeans in 2015, followed by Enlist E3™ soybeans and Enlist cotton in 2016.

All photos and words: Gary Tyler McLeod
Opening day at Mt. Hood Meadows had nothing in common with opening day at Mammoth. The biggest difference was the powder snow. This made for a much different atmosphere. It was like being inside of a white room, in the air, outside, on Mt. Hood, snowboarding. Going to the mountain in Oregon is a refreshing experience. I've heard it described as "mellow" more times than I can count on both gloves, but actually snowboarding on the mountain can be a whole other story. Mt. Hood Meadows has some very unique, and diverse terrain that has played host to more than it's share of snowboarding's history. On this very day, one could find the likes of Scotty Wittlake, Shane Flood, and other mythical figures linking powder turns. Check out the photos below and if you don't want to be left out, visit skihood.com for more information on how you can ride powder at Mt. Hood Meadows.

Trust Basics
August 19, 2011 | Posted by : Jennifer Duitsman Coy | Elder Law and Social Security Disability | 0 Comments
What is a Trust? In legal terms, a trust is an entity created to hold assets to be managed for the benefit of someone else. The best way to think of a trust is like a box. A person takes assets and puts them into the "box" and they are kept in that box for […]Read More »

Dynamic DNS or DDNS is a method of updating, in real time, a DNS to point to a changing IP address on the Internet. This is used to provide a persistent domain name for a resource that may change location on the network.
Many routers have built in DDNS Services but can be limited in the services which they update. If the Router supports a the service, or you are willing to pay or donate for a service, you should do this, it is faster and more reliable. In that case, there is no need to use a softwareside solution.
Software Dynamic DNS
FreeDNS.afraid.org is a free Service which is easy and uncomplicated to set up.
There are several options to enable automatic DDNS updating for this provider:
The package afraid-dyndns-uvAUR is available in the AUR.
The package ddclient is available in the community repository. It includes systemd support. Unfortunately, it seems to generate broken update URLs for freedns: http://ddclient.tisnix.be/ticket/58
An example config file looks like this:
daemon=600 cache=/tmp/ddclient.cache syslog=yes use=web, web=checkip.dyndns.com/, web-skip='IP Address' ssl=yes ## Configuration variables applicable to the 'freedns' protocol are: # protocol=freedns ## # server=fqdn.of.service ## defaults to freedns.afraid.org # login=service-login ## login name and password registered with the service # password=service-password ## # fully.qualified.host ## the host registered with the service. # protocol=freedns, \ login=my-freedns.afraid.org-login, \ password=my-freedns.afraid.org-password \ myhost.afraid.org
To enable the systemd service:
systemctl enable ddclient
Another option is to:
- goto Dynamic DNS page on freedns.afraid.org
- add A record and select your prefered domain name
- copy link under Direct URL, it will be something like "http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?ZRRJZ...................bzo4Njc1M4DA"
- use crontab -e to enter new schedulled command:
*/10 * * * * curl -ks http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?ZRRJZ...................bzo4Njc1M4DA > /dev/null
To add the record of your IP to freedns.afraid.org along with a network connection through the use with Netctl. You can append the following line to your netctl profile.
ExecUpPost='curl -ks http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?ZRRJZ...................bzo4Njc1M4DA'
DynDNS is another Dynamic DNS service.
DynDNS can be updated with ddclient or the dyndnsAUR package in the AUR.
DNSdynamic "will always be absolutely free" and works with ddclient

ACLU Calls On Obama Administration To Broaden U.S. Investigation
CONTACT: (212) 549-2666; firstname.lastname@example.com
NEW YORK – British Prime Minister David Cameron today announced an independent investigation into allegations that U.K. agents were complicit in the torture of detainees in United States custody, and said the U.K. government would compensate torture survivors if the allegations were found to be true. U.K. residents and American Civil Liberties Union clients Binyam Mohamed and Bisher Al Rawi have long claimed that U.K. officials were aware of their CIA-orchestrated rendition and torture.
Following Prime Minister Cameron's announcement, the ACLU called on the Obama administration to broaden its own investigation into the Bush-era torture program to include top-level government officials who may have known about and authorized such abuse. Despite disavowing torture, the current administration continues to shield Bush administration officials from legal scrutiny or accountability for their role in the program. An ongoing Justice Department investigation of the torture program excludes top-level officials.
"An investigation into the role of government personnel in the abuse and torture of prisoners is exactly what the Obama administration should be initiating. And while we welcome Prime Minister Cameron's commitment to ensuring that torture survivors are acknowledged and compensated, this announcement also serves as a reminder of how little has been done here in the United States to reckon with the abuses of the last nine years," said Jameel Jaffer, ACLU Deputy Legal Director. "The Obama administration continues to suppress documents that would allow the public to understand the full scope of the Bush administration's torture program. It continues to use the 'state secrets' privilege to extinguish civil litigation by torture victims. And thus far the only criminal investigation this administration has initiated is one that appears to be focused on interrogators, not on the senior officials who authorized torture."
Mohamed and Al Rawi are plaintiffs in the ACLU's lawsuit against Boeing subsidiary Jeppesen DataPlan for its role in the CIA's extraordinary rendition program, in which prisoners in U.S. custody were forcibly transferred to CIA "black sites" or prisons in countries known to torture. The United States government has asserted the "state secrets" privilege in an attempt to block the case from moving forward. In February, a British court ordered the U.K. government to turn over seven previously suppressed paragraphs from an earlier court ruling that summarize British government documents related to Mohamed's rendition, detention and torture while under the control of U.S. authorities.
"Evidence of U.S. torture is widely known throughout the world. Yet, to date, no survivors of the United States' rendition and torture program have had their day in a U.S. court," said Steven Watt, staff attorney with the ACLU Human Rights Program. "The Obama administration should not only end its efforts to prevent accountability for torturers and justice for survivors, but follow Britain's lead and broaden the investigation here in this country. It is time to reaffirm our commitment to human rights and the rule of law."
More information about the ACLU's lawsuit against Jeppesen DataPlan is available online at: www.aclu.org/national-security/mohamed-et-al-v-jeppesen-dataplan-inc

In the video below, Rudy Giuliani blasts President Obama over his response in New York to Hurricane Sandy and his lack of response to the attack in Benghazi. It is vintage Giuliani.
Frankly, I'm not one to criticize presidents because big problems remain following a natural disaster or for not visiting this or that affected location. On the other hand, unlike Chris Christie, I'm not one to effusively praise a president for showing up and doing his job (so far, let's see the extent to which Obama follows through after the election). So I think Giuliani and Christie basically cancel each other out when it comes to Hurricane Sandy.

Anyone who's ever writhed in pain after crushing a Lego block underfoot will appreciate Australian-based Luxford St.'s take on the classic Ottoman. Crafted from recycled pool table felt and stuffed with sturdy polyurethane foam, the footrest is a perfect 20:1 scale version of a size four Lego block and is perfect for putting your feet up. Or building life-sized forts.
At $89 it's a great way to scratch your nostalgia itch, but you might want to hold out until this golden yellow Block Bag is available. It's a 10:1 scale version of the classic six-stud Lego block that of course doesn't have to be used for hauling around plastic brick. But why not?

Drugs of Abuse Screening Benefits from LoGiCal® Reference Materials
Product News Oct 30, 2012
Unilabs AB in Eskilstuna, Sweden, is taking advantage of LGC Standards' LoGiCal reference materials to perform clinical analyses and screen for drugs of abuse, as chemist Elin Widing explained: "Unilabs is a privately owned clinical laboratory that analyses company healthcare and workplace samples, as well as samples from drug abuse centres. Samples are received from across Sweden and screened either qualitatively or semi-quantitatively using immunological assays, followed by quantitative LC-MSMS or GC-MS analysis for verification. Ready-to-use LoGiCal solutions are ideal for our purposes; it is so much simpler than weighing powders for inhouse preparation of reference materials."
"We evaluated LoGiCal solutions of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), zopiclone and alpha-hydroxyalprazolam, including deuterium-labelled alpha-hydroxyalprazolam as an internal standard for quantitative mass spectrometry analysis. Analyses were run in parallel with assays that were using our existing reference materials, and the results were comparable. LoGiCal reference materials are very good quality and competitively priced and, since the initial product evaluation, we have also ordered tramadol and its metabolites for our laboratory. In the future, as we purchase more reference materials, we intend to use LoGiCal solutions whenever they are available."

LOWELL -- In Lowell District Court Monday, Diego Garcia, 39, of Lowell, pleaded not guilty to charges of rape, assault to rape, intimidation of a witness, breaking and entering into a building, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and assault and battery.
Judge Lynn Rooney revoked Garcia's bail on a pending case -- holding him without bail -- while setting $10,000 cash bail on the new case.
The victim was in court to obtain a year-long restraining order against Garcia.
Defense attorney Christopher Spring said his client denies the alleged sexual assault on Dec. 15. He said Garcia and the victim have had ongoing issues with their relationship and "this was a way for her to get him out of the house.''
Spring said Garcia suffers from bipolar disorder and depression.
A probable-cause hearing is scheduled for Jan. 9.

Rodgers wants more from Carragher
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is looking for a significant contribution from Jamie Carragher in the remainder of the season after the defender announced plans to retire in May.
The 35-year-old, who ironically has just won back his place in the first-choice line-up, has decided to draw a line under his 16-year career at his only professional club.
Rodgers tapped into Carragher's vast experience at Anfield, having taken over from Reds icon Kenny Dalglish last summer, and is relying on that on the pitch for the remainder of the campaign. "Jamie has been absolutely outstanding for me since I joined the club," he told liverpoolfc.com.
"He has been a model professional on and off the pitch and has shown an unswerving commitment to our work. We still have a lot to play for as we look to finish as high up the Barclays Premier League as possible and continue our progression in the Europa League, a competition we'd like to win.
"He will have a significant role to play for us between now and May and I know his commitment and dedication on the pitch will remain as it has done his entire career at Liverpool.
"When the time is right we, as a team and a club, will give the man the tribute and recognition he deserves. I know the supporters will want to say thank you to someone who has served them with such distinction for so long."
Carragher, who in 723 appearances has won every major honour with Liverpool - the highlight being the Champions League in 2005 - except the league title, insists he will not allow himself to start looking back just yet.
"It has been a privilege and an honour to represent this great club for as long as I have and I am immensely proud to have done so and thankful for all the support I have had," said the centre-back. "There are many memories I want to share and people to thank, but now is not the time for that.
"I'm making this announcement now because I don't want the manager or the club to be answering questions on my future when I've already decided what I am going to do. I will be fully committed between now and the end of the season to doing the very best for Liverpool Football Club, as I've done my entire career since joining aged just nine years old.
"All our focus and concentration should be on achieving the best possible finish in the league this season and trying to win the last remaining trophy (Europa League) we are competing in."

Parker's Bar - Mahogany paneling, a fireplace, and stained-glass windows provide appealing surroundings for cocktails, along with dining from the Parker's menu. The spot was popular with Boston's Saturday Club, a 19th-century literary group that included Thoreau, Emerson, and Oliver Wendell Holmes.
The Last Hurrah - This bar draws locals and Beacon Hill politicians for drinks and meals. It has a lighter, more casual feel than Parker's and is a good spot for people-watching both inside and out along School and Tremont streets.

Consumers pamper pets with good health
Pet supplies may have had limited growth this past year, but the stars of the segment are healthcare-related products. Pet supplies saw a 2% increase, bringing sales to $11.1 billion, according to Packaged Facts. The market research firm projects that this year, pet supplies will grow 4% over 2012 sales.
Like their owners, the pet population is graying. Pets are suffering from age-related conditions — including joint, coronary, cognitive and immune system-related, as well as diabetes and cancer — and consumers are snapping up products that can make their pets healthier.
"We are certainly seeing more health-related and preventive health products on the market that help pets maintain healthy lifestyles," said Bob Vetere, president of the American Pet Products Association. The explosion of health-related products coincides with a drop in veterinary visits recorded in the past few years, suggesting that pet owners are preemptively caring for their pets' health issues with pet OTC products.
Such products as Nylabone — a rawhide chew alternative that is fortified with vitamins and minerals — are driving growth in the pet products category, according to a recent report from Mintel. Mintel expects chews, toys, grooming products made with natural ingredients and other supplies that contribute to the health and well-being of dogs and cats to drive sales in the pet supplies segment.
Dental care products are growing in popularity as consumers become more aware of how important gum care is to a pet's health. Brian Collier, a spokesman for Naturel Promise, manufacturer of the Fresh Dental line of pet dental care products, said oral care products are the fastest-growing segment of the pet business.
Since 80% of dogs show signs of periodontal disease by age 3 years, Collier said the category has a huge upside because currently only 10% of pet owners purchase pet dental care products. Those who do purchase oral care products buy four to six oral care products a year, a number that significantly outpaces turns on other pet grooming products, said Collier.
Naturel Promise's line of dental products contains a brushless gel, dental spray, water additive, liquid floss and a brushing gel, which retail for between $6.99 and $9.99. The products contain all-natural ingredients, a key selling point in the category.
In the pet food segment, the fastest growing area of pet food is natural and organic products. "It's the first section that sold out in our show, and it's clearly the hot performer in the food arena and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future," Vetere said.
Vetere said another hot segment within the category is convenience products that allow people more flexibility in feeding and caring for their pets.
