Internet Pirates Are Trying to Steal Your Personal Financial Information
Here's the Good News: You Have the Power to Stop Them
There's a new type of Internet piracy called "phishing." It's pronounced "fishing," and that's exactly what these thieves are doing: "fishing" for your personal financial information. What they want are account numbers, passwords, Social Security numbers, and other confidential information that they can use to loot your checking account or run up bills on your credit cards. In the worst case, you could find yourself a victim of identity theft. With the sensitive information obtained from a successful phishing scam, these thieves can take out loans or obtain credit cards and even driver's licenses in your name. They can do damage to your financial history and personal reputation that can take years to unravel. But if you understand how phishing works and how to protect yourself, you can help stop this crime.
Here's how phishing works:
In a typical case, you'll receive an e-mail that appears to come from a reputable company that you recognize and do business with, such as your financial institution. In some cases, the e-mail may appear to come from a government agency, including one of the federal financial institution regulatory agencies.
The e-mail will probably warn you of a serious problem that requires your immediate attention. It may use phrases, such as "Immediate attention required," or "Please contact us immediately about your account." The e-mail will then encourage you to click on a button to go to the institution's Web site.
In a phishing scam, you could be redirected to a phony Web site that may look exactly like the real thing. Sometimes, in fact, it may be the company's actual Web site. In those cases, a pop-up window will quickly appear for the purpose of harvesting your financial information.
In either case, you may be asked to update your account information or to provide information for verification purposes: your Social Security number, your account number, your password, or the information you use to verify your identity when speaking to a real financial institution, such as your mother's maiden name or your place of birth.
If you provide the requested information, you may find yourself the victim of identity theft.
How to protect yourself
What to do if you fall victim:

Arrest leads to recovery of stolen UTVs
Thursday evening, July 18, at about 8:20 p.m., the Beaumont Police Department 911 communications center received a burglar alarm from Beaumont Tractor at 4430 College St. The alarm company was monitoring live-feed video surveillance of the property that showed two men prowling the fenced lot. Patrol officers quickly responded, set up a perimeter and captured two men who were attempting to steal equipment, according to a BPD press release.
The business had suffered a previous theft of two Kubota utility vehicles (UTVs). That theft occurred earlier in the week. Detectives from the BPD Auto Theft Task Force interviewed the two men captured Thursday night and during that interview, the men confessed to the previous theft. They also led officers to the stolen UTVs, which were hidden in the wooded area behind a business near Interstate 10 at Hollywood Avenue. Detectives recovered two UTVs with an estimated value in excess of $20,000 and returned them to Beaumont Tractor.
Detectives identified the two felony theft suspects as Harry Joseph Songe, a 28-year-old resident of Crosby, and Jeffrey Lynn Daily, a 46-year-old resident of Beaumont.
Detectives booked Songe and Daily into the county jail on two counts of felony theft. Each count has a $25,000 bond. They are also facing charges of attempted theft for the incident that occurred July 18.

Up and Vanished
The podcast tells the true story of the disappearance of beauty queen-turned-teacher Tara Grinstead from the small town of Ocilla, Georgia in 2005. The case is a mysterious one and took 11 years to solve. Various suspects took heat, including her ex-boyfriend and a man she was rumored to be having an affair with. The podcast is a satisfying one because host Payne Lindsey wraps it up and reveals what really happened to Grinstead.

This Netflix original series will give you the creeps. It's from the director of Gone Girl and Fight Club, and it tells the story of two detectives who study the minds and techniques of serial killers and then use this information to educate police officers. It's set during a time when the term "serial killer" was a new phrase, and it promises to be fascinatingly freaky. Check this show out on Netflix on October 13th.

In the Dark
On an October night in Minnesota, 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling was abducted at gunpoint. For 27 years, the case went unsolved. Finally, a known sex offender confessed, but not before another man spent years wrongfully accused of Jacob's sexual assault and murder. In the Dark details what went wrong with the Wetterling case. Why did it take law enforcement so long to find Jacob's killer? It's a fascinating, informative, and creepy podcast worth a listen.

The Jinx
This HBO documentary will truly leave you with your mouth hanging open. It's chilling, but it's also shocking. It's the story of accused murderer Robert Durst, who comes from a wealthy New York City family, and adamantly denies his involvement in the murders of which he's been accused. Durst willingly agreed to be filmed and interviewed, and the final result is captivating.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the weekend said Washington had transferred $200 million in US taxpayers' money to the Palestinian Authority to help cover what she called budget shortfalls.
The transfer is only part of a $900 million package Clinton pledged to the Palestinians at a donors conference in March.
Many Americans who actively observe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have long complained that their tax dollars are being far too liberally spent to prop up a Palestinian Authority rife with corruption and mismanagement.
Clinton tried to soften the news of so much more money being given to the Palestinians by saying that the peace process was very close to getting back on track. That claim has been tossed out by senior US officials for several years in their efforts to justify continuing down the path of the failed land-for-peace process.

All I could hear was the sound of perpetually falling water.
I stood recently in the shadow of the Freedom Tower under construction, and faced one of the two parapets with names of the dead etched in bronze. Not even the rattle of jackhammers in the background could interrupt this moment for me.
I was gazing down at a square hole in the ground from which the second of the twin towers had soared. The memorial parapet framed the footprint of the 110-story building formerly known as 2 World Trade Center, or the south tower.
Water streamed in sheets down the four walls inside the square hole and flowed into a miniature square cut out in the center of the floor below. There, the water seemed to disappear into a void. Like its identical twin to the north and west, the South Pool was several stories deep and took up about an acre. This was prime Manhattan real estate, but the space had become hallowed ground.
I had been in the vicinity of the old WTC site in the decade after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, but never this close to the exact locations of the obliterated skyscrapers. The last time I visited the south tower was in the summer of 1998. I rode then with a girlfriend to the top-floor observation deck for a romantic view of my hometown's skyline. That memory now felt like a thousand years removed.
As a boy I used to gaze from the window of my family's riverfront apartment on F.D.R. Drive and East 25th Street and marvel at the twin towers that loomed above Lower Manhattan. So, during a visit to New York earlier this month, it was eerie seeing that now-empty patch of skyline from the same window.
I never thought of them as beautiful buildings. The twin towers lacked architectural aesthetic, yet they were impressive, awe-inspiring feats of engineering.
The twin towers occupied a nostalgic place in my mind. They epitomized the imperfect, though great and dynamic, city in which I grew up. They occupied a place in my imagination. The World Trade Center was where King Kong died in the 1976 remake of the movie about the giant ape. It was also where Kurt Russell made his daring rooftop landing in 1981's "Escape from New York."
Yet the most magical memory that I associate with my time in New York was the singular and real act of lunacy committed in August 1974 by the Frenchman Philippe Petit, who walked a tightrope strung between the their rooftops.
The World Trade Center opened three months after I first landed in New York in January 1973, and it would be destroyed three months after I left New York for California to enroll as a graduate student at UC Berkeley. That June, as I drove south along the New Jersey Turnpike on the first leg of a solo trip cross-country in my beat-up green Toyota Tercel, I craned my neck to the left to catch a final glimpse of the city I was leaving behind. My last image of New York on that summer day in 2001 was of rain clouds obscuring the tops of the twin towers.
I'll never forget it.
Now that the National September 11 Memorial had finally opened, as a former New Yorker I could not pass up the opportunity to make a pilgrimage to the old WTC site. It was an opportunity too for me to get closure. Because I was in Berkeley on the day of the attacks, I had felt guilty for having abandoned the city and not being there to help my fellow New Yorkers and the friends and brother I had left behind.
I had seen images on TV and the Internet of the two pools that make up the 9/11 memorial site. I had also seen other places where acts of terrorism had happened: Seven years after the Oklahoma City bombing, in 2002, I visited the site of the former Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, which had been transformed into a memorial; in 1997, as a reporter working in Colombo, Sri Lanka, I saw the devastation caused by a truck bomb that Tamil Tiger rebels had set off in the city's financial district, killing 18 people.
Their target was a 38-story office building — the tallest building on the island at the time. It was known as Sri Lanka's World Trade Center. Yet those past horrors, and the images of the new memorial, could not prepare me for the lump that stuck in the throat during my visit to the World Trade Center memorial Nov. 9.
After making the required online reservation via its official website I, along with hundreds of others, lined up at the entrance off Albany and Greenwich streets for our appointed 30-minute visit, scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. that Wednesday. It was a clear but chilly fall day in New York.
Security was tight. Volunteer workers shepherded us through, double-file. As I prepared to walk through a metal detector, by force of habit post-9/11, I took off my shoes only to realize that I wasn't in an airport.
The process took 15 to 20 minutes. When I made it to the memorial, I saw a simply beautiful site without much fanfare. I paused at the South Pool first before slowly making my way around it and to the North Pool. The names of 1,993 people who died in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the crash of hijacked United Airlines flight 93 at Shanksville, Pa., as well as the first attack on the WTC back on Feb. 26, 1993, appeared in thematic rows around the parapets.
A section at the North Pool's northwest corner listed the names of the 87 people (not including the hijackers) who were aboard American Airlines flight 11, the first of the hijacked airliners that crashed into the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. (EST). And around the South Pool — the first of the towers to crumble on 9/11 but the second one attacked — most of the western side and much of the southern side of the parapet listed the names of the 441 first responders who died there.
After circling the pools, I stopped at one of the nearby computerized kiosks to look up a victim's name. An ex-girlfriend's former sister-in-law, a German woman named Inga (I couldn't remember her surname) had died in the hospital weeks after being injured in the attack on the World Trade Center.
On the off chance, I typed in the four letters of her name. I could not find any listing for an "inga," but the first name with those letters embedded in it that popped up on the screen belonged to Charles Burlingame III.
I remembered the name. But the reporter in me had to check my facts by putting a picture to the name. I clicked on the link, and a portrait of Burlingame in uniform, together with a short description of the role he played in 9/11, flashed on the screen.
Burlingame, a Navy veteran who had served in Vietnam and the Persian Gulf, was the captain of the doomed American Airlines flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. (EST). Had he lived, he would have turned 52 the day after the attacks.
His name appeared on the 69th panel of the South Pool parapet. An image of the slate grouping the names of crew members and passengers on AA77 appeared at the top of the screen.
Next to Burlingame's name the names of the six members of his crew were listed. There was First Officer David M. Charlesbois, who was born in Morocco and was 39 years old. Beneath his name were the names of Jennifer and Kenneth E. Lewis, a husband and wife, who were both flight attendants working on the day when they died together.
Finally, as I scrolled down the column under Burlingame's name, under the listings for flight attendants Mary Jane Booth, 64, and Michelle M. Heidenberger, 52, I came to a listing for the seventh crew member.
This one put the hook in me.
I clicked on the name and up popped a photo of a blonde in winter bonnet and scarf. The listing was for American Airlines Flight Attendant Renée A. May, 39, and "her unborn child."

Craft beers are taking the brewing world – and Ireland – by storm. So join other beer lovers in tasting the delicious wares of the island's microbreweries and small-scale producers
Think you're a beer buff? Think again. There are people out there who take this stuff REALLY seriously. "They call themselves the beer-nerds. Nice guys," says bartender Joann Erickson of the people who pop into her pub – notebook in hand – when the seasonal craft beers come in.
But just because you don't travel around bars with a notebook at the ready, doesn't mean you can't join in.
Prop yourself up at Joann's place of work, Dublin's JW Sweetman, and you can get an instant tutorial in microbrewing. Shining copper tanks bulge inside the pub, and you can often see the head brewer at work on the very ales you're sipping.
JW Sweetman's five in-house brews range from a classic Irish stout to a crisp lager, and the five-sample tray is the best way to experience the lot.

"The whole artisan beer scene is going into orbit in Ireland," wrote the Godmother of Irish cooking, Darina Allen in the Irish Examiner. And with a discerning population to taste it, and the world-famous Irish pub to sell it in, it's a wonder it took so long.
If you're looking to get acquainted with what's out there, amble down to the Oslo Bar and microbrewery in Salthill, just outside Galway city. Oslo is one of six pubs operated by the Galway Bay Brewery between Galway and Dublin, all guaranteeing extensive menus. In their Black Sheep Pub in Dublin, there are 23 craft beers on tap and over 110 craft brews on offer.
The staff is the real prize here, though, eager to assist navigation of the numerous choices.
Cork city holds dear its Franciscan Well Brewery and brewpub. The stout is piped straight from the brewery, while hulking, holding tanks of ale glimmer behind the bar.
Northern Ireland's largest microbrewery, Whitewater, runs the White Horse Inn, as well as supplying casks to the likes of Belfast's Crown Bar Saloon. The gas-lit, handcrafted wooden interior is one of the prettiest places to taste Whitewater or Hilden's latest brews. Molly's Chocolate Stout is a taste for the adventurous, though, and is best experienced at Molly's Yard pub next to Belfast's College Green microbrewery.
After The New York Times pulled up a chair at the bar of Dublin's L. Mulligan Grocer recently, it listed some local craft brews it would love to drink when back in the America. The wish-list included Belfast Blonde, Galway Hooker, and Eight Degrees Knockmealdown Porter.
Ireland's craft beer revolution has even hit Reddit. A recent thread about Irish craft brews elicited the following response from one user: "I really hope Irish craft brewing takes off to the point where I can find a few in the US."
Here's hoping.
For the original, though, you know where we are.

Low soil levels of selenium are associated with higher cancer rates, and soil-rich areas have below-average cancer rates for a number of body systems, particularly the breasts, colon, and lungs. Keshan disease, a form of heart disease prevalent in children and is characterized by an enlarged heart and congestive heart failure, may be a direct result of selenium deficiency, as it has responded well to selenium treatment. People in Keshan, China, where the disease was discovered, treat it with a common herb called Astragalus, which accumulates selenium from the soil.
As in the Keshan area of China, the soil in many parts of the United States is very low in this important mineral. Here, the western states generally have higher selenium levels than the eastern; South Dakota has the highest and Ohio the lowest. Ohio has more than twice South Dakota's rate of a number of common cancers. Most states with high levels of soil selenium show a decreased rate of cancer deaths. There is some concern, though, that high amounts of selenium, particularly elemental selenium and inorganic sodium selenite, may be toxic in areas where it is found in high concentrations in the water and soil, such as South Dakota.
Selenium and vitamin E work together synergistically in that they carry out antioxidant and immunostimulating functions better together than individually; however, their mechanisms of action are probably not the same. Both of these nutrients are part of the "antiaging" or "longevity" group, which may be directly attributable to their antioxidant functions because tissue oxidation by free radicals may be the contributing factor to degenerative disease.
Despite its importance, there is less than 1 mg. of selenium in our body, most of it in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas and, in men, in the testes and seminal vesicles. Men have a greater need for selenium, which may function in sperm production and motility. Some selenium is lost through the sperm as well as through the urine and feces. It is absorbed fairly well from the intestines, with an absorption rate of nearly 60 percent.
Sources: Soil levels of selenium vary greatly from state to state and even within local regions across the United States, as well as from country to country throughout the world. So the amount of selenium in our food sources, whether consumed directly as plants or as meat from animals that have eaten the vegetation, varies according to the soil levels. Further, most selenium in foods is lost during processing, such as when making white rice or white flour.
Many natural foods contain selenium, mainly an organic form that is much less toxic than sodium selenite and definitely less so than elemental selenium. Selenium may be present in some drinking water, and it is sometimes even added to drinking water where it is deficient. We may see this more in the future as a general disease-prevention measure. Mother's milk usually has several times more selenium than cow's milk. Selenium is also used in some shampoos and skin lotions, and it is possible that we absorb small amounts of selenium from these products.

It's back to the drawing board, at least temporarily, for the U.S. beef industry's desire to conduct business once again with Japan.
Less than two months after Japan's government finally, but conditionally reopened its doors to U.S.-raised beef, a new health scare has shut the doors again.
On Jan. 20, Japan's prime minister announced the decision after an animal spine was discovered in a beef shipment at Tokyo International Airport.
Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said the decision was initiated by Japan's agricultural minister, Shoichi Nakagawa. Koizumi called the finding a "grave violation of the import process" with America.
USDA Secretary Mike Johanns said an investigation has begun to verify the claim. If confirmed, he called it a failure of the United States to comply with the recent agreement with Japan.
"While this is not a food safety issue, this is an unacceptable failure on our part to meet the requirements of our agreement with Japan," Johanns said. "We take this matter seriously, recognizing the importance of our beef export market, and we are acting swiftly and firmly."
Meanwhile U.S. health officials have pledged additional aggressive steps to help ease concerns in Japan, where the population remains fearful of consuming beef infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease — a chronic, degenerative disorder affecting the central nervous system of cattle.
Officials in Washington, D.C, said they would take punitive action against the inspector who approved the shipment of meat that is in question, as well as close the plant that shipped the meat. Additionally, Johanns said he was immediately calling for USDA inspectors to make increased visits to processing plants across the nation.
"I have directed that additional USDA inspectors be sent to every plant that is approved to export beef to review procedures and ensure compliance with our export agreements and I am requiring that two USDA inspectors review every shipment of U.S. beef for export to confirm that compliance," he said. "I have also ordered unannounced inspections at every plant approved for beef export."
Since Japan's initial ban of U.S. beef beginning about two years ago, the domestic cattle industry has suffered financially. Exports to Japan from the United States once totaled nearly $1.7 billion annually, and domestic beef interests groups have been persistent to renew business.

The Mobile-Finance Revolution
Foreign Affairs
The roughly 2.5 billion people in the world who live on less than $2 a day are not destined to remain in a state of chronic poverty. Every few years, somewhere between ten and 30 percent of the world's poorest households manage to escape poverty, typically by finding steady employment or through entrepreneurial activities such as growing a business or improving agricultural harvests. During that same period, however, roughly an equal number of households slip below the poverty line. Health-related emergencies are the most common cause, but there are many more: crop failures, livestock deaths, farming-equipment breakdowns, even wedding expenses. In many such situations, the most important buffers against crippling setbacks are financial tools such as personal savings, insurance, credit, or cash transfers from family and friends. Yet these are rarely available because most of the world's poor lack access to even the most basic banking services.
Mozilla plans '$25 smartphone' for emerging markets
BBC Technology
Mozilla has shown off a prototype for a $25 (£15) smartphone that is aimed at the developing world. The company, which is famed mostly for its Firefox browser, has partnered with Chinese low-cost chip maker Spreadtrum. While not as powerful as more expensive models, the device will run apps and make use of mobile internet. It would appeal to the sorts of people who currently buy cheap "feature" phones, analysts said. Feature phones are highly popular in the developing world as a halfway point between "dumb" phones - just voice calls and other basic functions - and fully-fledged smartphones.
Where are the flawed elections?
The Washington Post
In many countries, polling day ends with disputes about ballot-box fraud, corruption and flawed registers. In countries such as Cambodia, Thailand and Maylasia, for example, recent elections ended in mass protests, opposition complaints and political stalemate. The consequences undermine regime legitimacy and public trust and confidence in electoral authorities. Where there are disputes, however, which claims are accurate? And which are false complaints from sore losers? The Electoral Integrity Project has just released new evidence, which compares the risks of flawed and failed elections, and how far countries around the world meet international standards. The EIP is an independent research project based at the University of Sydney and Harvard University, funded mainly by the Australian Research Council, under the direction of Prof. Pippa Norris.
Social enterprise: can it succeed where traditional development has failed?
The Guardian
Living in India, you would be forgiven for thinking that social enterprises were going to solve the many challenges of alleviating the country's poverty. After six decades of development initiatives, social entrepreneurs are now the child star in an otherwise much-maligned space. Governments sing their praises, business schools teach their methods and award schemes elevate them to iconic status. But can social enterprises fill the gaps left by traditional state and NGO-led development? Pressure to demonstrate that traditional development work is mounting from all sides. From budget cuts to demands for greater accountability from northern NGOs, it is facing a significant backlash, regardless of its practitioners' good intentions.
1bn down, 6bn to go: Zuck to grow Facebook by touting 'free internet onramp' for the poor
The Register
Mark Zuckerberg has used his keynote address at this year's Mobile World Congress to expound on his rough plan to expand basic internet services to all humanity as a human right, and then sell them something on the back of them.He told the Barcelona audience that Internet.org – a partnership between Facebook and mobile technology giants to provide free internet access globally – has run trials with network operators to offer a "free onramp" to the internet to get people online: this includes offering zero-cost internet messaging, search and (of course) social networking.
New Digital Map of Near-Real Time Deforestation Launched By Google and WRI
All Voices
Between 2000 and 2012, the world lost 2.3 million square kilometers, or 230 million hectares, of tree cover, according to research conducted by the University of Maryland and Google. That's equivalent to 50 soccer fields lost every minute of every day for those whole twelve years. The countries suffering from the most tree loss include Russia, the United States, Brazil, Indonesia and Canada. Now, a coalition of businesses, conservationists and techies are coming together to come to a solution to this massive environmental problem. The World Research Institute (WRI), partnering with Google and over 40 other business partners, recently launched the Global Forest Watch—an online map that shows deforestation in almost real time.

The Web browser is the most-used kind of software in the world, having become the de facto way that people access the Internet. Today, virtually all computing tasks can be completed in the browser.
Testing browsers can veer from incredibly complex to shockingly simple, depending on what you're looking for and why. At CNET, we prefer a holistic approach to browser benchmarking, looking at a combination of tests that benchmark general browser behavior, as well as several "real-world" tests that look at browser performance in common scenarios.
Note about mobile testing: We are still finalizing our standards for mobile browser testing, and will update this post as soon as they're ready. For now, the following procedures apply only to desktop browsers.
Is your favorite browser on our test list?
Unless your favorite browser is some obscure remixed version of Netscape, chances are good we test it. However, browser testing is made even more complex than it would otherwise be by the fact that two of the five major browsers, Firefox and Chrome, update on a six-week release cycle. Sometimes those updates bring dramatic changes, but often they don't. Because of the sadly human limitations of your humble editors, CNET will not be testing all browsers simultaneously.
Instead, we will conduct quarterly tests for the most-used and best-known browsers, and biannual tests for a wider range of competitors. Also, tests are staggered according to platform, so Windows browsers are not tested simultaneously with Mac, Android, or iOS browsers.
Desktop browsers tested, both Windows and Mac unless otherwise noted:
Chrome Firefox Internet Explorer 9 (Windows 7 only) Internet Explorer 10 (Windows 8 only) Opera Safari (Mac only)
Desktop browsers tested biannually will include:
Maxthon Avant (Windows only)
How we test desktop browsers
We run each of the following three times, and restart the computer before each test, so that the browser is starting "cold." We also wait 30 seconds after booting the browser to ensure that any background processes have been completed. Then we average the three tests.
Performance benchmarks
The Acid3 test from the Web Standards Project checks browser compliance with accepted standards. Slightly outdated since it doesn't look at HTML5, which has now been finalized, it remains a good way to establish a baseline. Browsers that don't hit 100 out of 100 on the Acid3 are behind the times in a fundamental, crucial way.
Google Octane, the successor to Google's V8 benchmark test, looks at JavaScript performance by testing such areas as code optimization, encryption and decryption, emulation, and array manipulation, and assigning each subtest a number. The higher the final score, the better.
Mozilla Kraken is another JavaScript performance test, which looks specifically at rendering times for audio, imaging, AI, JSON, and encryption. A smaller number is better for the final score.
The HTML5 Test assigns points for each HTML5 feature that the browser supports, out of a total of 500. This is a rough way to gauge how future-forward the browser is.
JSGameBench, GUImark3 (gaming test, text test), and Microsoft FishIE Tank look at HTML5 Canvas performance in several different game-like environments. Canvas is an important part of HTML5 to test because it creates all the nifty 2D images and shapes that can move across your screen.
Each of these three tests uses a different standard. FishIE Tank, for example, lets the tester set the number of fish on the screen. The test will then show you in how many frames per second they can be rendered.
Microsoft Chalkboard runs a series of timed tests on HTML5 panning, zooming, and scaling. Faster is better.
Facebook Ringmark checks HTML5 feature support, geared for the needs of the mobile browser. Nevertheless, it works well on desktops and provides a good and rare point of comparison between desktop and mobile.
Real-world tests We also perform four "real-world" tests to see how the browser performs under in-use conditions. These tests look at specific browser behaviors that you're likely to encounter: startup from cold boot, memory used while open, shutdown time, and wake from sleep.
Like the benchmark testing, each test is performed three times and then averaged. Unlike those tests, which are performed only with the tab running the test opened, our real-world tests are conducted twice: with five tabs open, and with 50 tabs. This is to replicate the real-world scenario of keeping many tabs open simultaneously, something that many people do (even if you don't).
Tabs are chosen according to categories based on realistic use cases: search engine, streaming media, news site, gaming site, and Web mail. The five tabs we open in the less-intensive test are: Google.com, CNET.com, Outlook.com, YouTube.com, and Pandora.com. We're not going to list all 50 sites here for space considerations.
Check back soon for updates on how CNET tests mobile browsers.

Functional pottery generates conceptual dialogue
Supplied photo
I have found that all things have a function and I am particularly drawn to the functional object and its ability to transform the world around us. These functional objects have a profound effect on the development of humans, leading objects to contain symbolism and metaphor. I use objects and language as devices to generate a conceptual dialogue within my work. Through the production process, I began to consider how my work with clay might be translated into materials of cast bronze, iron, glass and wood. I am drawn to the tension of how materials interact with one another in sculpture; thereby, relating this tension to our understanding of objects by redefining our perception of them through the use of an unexpected or opposing material.

Consider Google Wallet Before Buying a New 'Droid
Having tried the Google Wallet mobile app, I'm very nearly considering giving up my iPhone in favor of one of the Android smartphones that works with the app to turn your phone into a touch-and-go credit card. Install Google Wallet on a Galaxy Nexus (Sprint, AT&T, or T-Mobile), LG Viper (Sprint), LG Optimus (Sprint, Virgin Mobile) , HTC EVO 4G (Sprint), Samsung Galaxy S3, or Nexus 7 tablet, and you can shop without carry credit cards, debit cards, and even gift cards.
Caveat one: The app only works on those devices I just mentioned. It's a small selection. Those phones and the one tablet contain a near-field communication (NFC) chip that allows them to work with PayPass readers, or receivers that you'll sometimes see attached to credit card readers at checkout counters or payment kiosks at gas stations.
Caveat two: To buy something, you have to be in a store that has a PayPass device. PayPass adoption simply hasn't happened with any speed or voracity from a consumer perspective. Even in New York City, the number of merchants with PayPass readers is very small. Big chain pharmacy-marts usually have them, as do Macy's, Foot Locker, 7-11s, and some grocery stores, but small businesses from independent restaurants to boutique shops to doctor's offices usually don't (although I did find one medical office in New York that does).
But aside from those two caveat, not much else is in the way of Google Wallet or other virtual payment systems taking off, except perhaps a little apprehension. People are wary of virtual money, right? Actually, that's a weak argument. I remember ATMs taking off practically overnight in the U.S. I found myself a very late adopter because I initially didn't trust a machine to give me my money, a ridiculous notion in hindsight. Now all my finances are online. Why do we continue to tote around all these cards? And why do we let restaurant servers walk away with our cards entirely (for those of you outside the U.S., almost no one in America has those handheld credit card readers, and we don't have Chip and Pin either!). With Google Wallet, you keep your phone/credit card in your hand the whole time, and you punch your PIN into your own device, not someone else's. It's so much better!
Still, those two caveats are huge.
If I were in the market for an Android phone, I would seriously take into consideration the ability to use Google Wallet, though, before making a decision about which model to buy. Google Wallet is simple, fast, and frees you from carrying a wallet... provided things you need to buy are at 7-11 and Macy's.
For more about the app and service, which also works as an online alternative payment system, like PayPal, see my complete review of Google Wallet on PCMag.com.

Deere et al (1967) developed the Rock Quality Designation, RQD, in response to the need for a quick and objective technique for estimating rockmass quality from diamond drill core logs during the initial exploratory phase of construction. The method is simple and efficient to implement in mining environments and can be assigned to the drillers themselves or to the geologists analyzing core for grade assessment. Information gained at this early stage of exploration is extremely valuable for the geomechanics engineer involved in the mine planning process.
RQD is calculated as the ratio of the sum of the lengths of all pieces of core greater than 10 cm to the total length of the core run. Core discing due to high stress should not be considered in the calculation of RQD but should be noted in the drill log (give an estimate of discing frequency). Discing does not contribute to RQD but does indicate potential risk of brittle overstress problems during excavation.
A great deal of work has been done to correlate RQD with joint frequency, rockmass stiffness, and other properties (Deere and Miller, 1966; Deere and Deere, 1988; Cording and Deere, 1972; Coon and Merritt, 1970; Bieniawski, 1979). Philosophically, RQD provides a crude estimate of the percentage of the rockmass which can be expected to behave in a fashion similar to a laboratory sample (typically 10 cm long). A rockmass with a low RQD (< 50) has few intact blocks larger than 10 cm. In such a rockmass, joints and fractures dominate the rock's response to stress and gravity. The strength and stiffness of the rock, as determined in the laboratory, has little relevance here. On the other hand, rockmasses with RQD > 95 % possess strength and stiffness much closer to the values obtained in the lab. Joints may still dominate behaviour in low stress environments but may have little or no influence at depth (provided joints are clean and tight).
RQD does not accurately reflect conditions in rockmasses with joint spacings greater than 0.3m. Rockmasses with block sizes in this range can be problematic and therefore require additional parameters for adequate classification. While RQD forms the starting point for most assessment procedures, more comprehensive classification schemes are discussed in the following sections. Also consider the directional nature of RQD. For example, a drill hole parallel to a set of major laminations in highly anisotropic rock will yield a relatively high RQD. Core taken from a hole perpendicular to the lamination set will give a much lower value.
When practical, drill core from two or more boreholes at different angles should be considered for complete assessment of RQD. RQD is intended to give a measure of in situ and undisturbed rockmass conditions. Therefore all core breaks due to drilling, handling and discing must be ignored in the calculation of RQD. In addition, minor cracks in the core which are not related to established jointing should also be ignored. Failing to do so may result in an overconservative or unrepresentatively low measure of RQD. In hard rock mining applications, RQD typically measures between 50 and 100. Values lower than this represent special conditions or an unusually poor rockmass.
Exceptions include RQD measured perpendicular to schistosity or foliation. Such a measurement may be much lower than the RQD of the surrounding rock. Blast damage to a rockmass can also be reflected in a reduced RQD (Løset, 1992).
Ideally the RQD should be measured as soon as possible after the core has been removed from the core barrel. RQD should be a part of the preliminary logging procedure. If a clearly marked rule is laid out along side of the core box, a geologist or technician can become very efficient at estimating RQD with a minimum of additional time expenditure. The window size for RQD calculation and recording can vary between 2 m and 10 m (e.g. record a separate measure foreach successive 2 m of core recovered) depending on the resolution required for the project. The window should be reduced in zones of geological transition or where the measured RQD is observed to change significantly over short distances.
In addition, RQD can be remeasured some time after recovery to determine if the rock is susceptible to rapid disintegration upon exposure.
Alternate methods of estimating RQD
Unfortunately, the engineer is often required to estimate RQD without timely access to drill core or without historical logs of RQD. Palmström (1982) proposed a fallback method of estimating RQD from exposed joint traces on excavation walls or outcrops. The Volumetric Joint Count, J , is the sum of the number of V joints per metre for each of the major joint sets present. Alternatively, the inverse of the representative true spacings for each set can be used, as shown in Figure 2.14.4. Note that true spacings must be used and not the apparent spacings produced by oblique intersection with the rock wall. This measure is valid for rockmasses with 3 or more well developed joint sets. This estimated RQD will represent a maximum value. That is, no random joints or fractures are considered and damage due to blasting and stress are also ignored. Palmström (1995) gives alternate relationships for one and two dominant joint sets, while Priest (1993) and Priest and Hudson (1976, 1981) present RQD relationships using scanlines.
Another simple method for estimating RQD is illustrated in Figure 2.14.5. A two metre graded rule can be placed on an exposed rock face. Calculate RQD as described for the drill core, considering any well developed joint which intersects the ruler as a core break. When estimating RQD for an undisturbed rockmass, care must be taken to consider only in situ joints and not induced tensile cracks and blast related fractures. Disregard any fractures which are less than 30 cm in length and consider disregarding larger fractures which are clearly induced (have a "sugary" surface). This will give a "best case" or upper-bound value of RQD.
This technique can also be used to determine the degree of degradation due to blasting and excavation. By considering all joints and fractures (induced) in the measurement of RQDW ( wall ), an estimate of post-excavation rockmass quality can be obtained (ignore fractures less than 30 cm in length). This may be a more relevant value for local support design. Note the additional subscript W attached to this measurement. Maintain this notation to differentiate the value from true RQD (joints only). Palmström's RQD (1982) and this crude RQDW measurement serve to provide an upper and lower bound respectively for local rock quality.

I am lucky enough (in my book at least) to have a husband that loves vegetables. Now, loving vegetables may seem like a regular given in your life but in mine, I can actually count with the fingers on one hand how many of my near and dear can actually claim truth in that statement. Ok, let's see, there's one…then um…well, there's my mom…
You get the picture.
So, it is with no small amount of joy that I listen to C's words, "Where's the veg?"
Not to paint a misleading picture of C. He does eat meat…and enjoys it. He is by no means a vegetarian by any stretch of the imagination. And he is just as likely to say, "We haven't had steak in a while", as he is to say, "We haven't had pechay in a while." He is more an alpha-jock than he is a sensitive-poet. But he does love his veggies…he even loves this one!
That being said, as with all aspects of life, there are times when, even forearmed with important knowledge, you can still strike out. As I did with these roasted carrots.
I tell you – they were fabulous! Not just any roasted carrots, but honey roasted carrots with fennel. Not just any carrots, but pretty, svelte ones that came crowned with a gorgeous mane of green, from my favorite organic farmer (like these carrots). Not just any honey, but honey from a local bee farm in Tagaytay, brought back for me by my dear friend N. Not just any fennel, but locally-grown fennel which I spotted in the stall of another organic farmer in the market. So you see, pretty special stuff!
I tossed the fennel and carrots with the honey and some olive oil and in the oven they went to slowly roast and caramelize. Roasting is one of my favorite things to do with sturdy vegetables such as carrots — the slow heat concentrating the sugars until you are left with a soft, yielding piece of veg with all its natural sugars singing in tandem! And for a vegetable like fennel, which I don't particularly like raw, it tames the sharp anise-flavor, aside from heightening the sweetness. The honey just brings everything to a crescendo…the perfect siding for roast meats, or just to snack on indiscriminately as you would carrot sticks.
Knowing this, you can imagine that I was just a wee bit proud of myself as I trotted this out to C come dinner time. He looked at the pan, and then at me, and said, "Carrots are not really my favorite vegetable…" What??? (Yes, there are still many surprises in marriage) He likes this but not my honey-roasted carrots???
Honey Roasted Carrots & Fennel
- 500-600 grams carrots (weighed without the stalks)
- 1 bulb of fennel (mine was about 300 grams trimmed)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
– Trim stalks off the carrots and peel. If you have bigger carrots, slice lengthways into sticks. Trim and cut the fennel into quarters or eighths (depending on size).
– Line a roasting tin with baking paper, lay carrots and fennel flat in the tin, and drizzle with the honey and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
– Place in a 180-190C oven and roast for about 35-45 minutes or until carrots are tender.
I shouldn't complain, I know. C loves most all other veggies. And I can always make this in small batches to enjoy by myself. Plus we will celebrate our 2nd year of "surprises" next week (I know…more to come!) 🙂 So all's well in love, if not in veggies. You can't ask for much more than that 🙂
p.s. I'm secretly hoping my friends will read this and get all defensive, suddenly claiming…"I do like vegetables!"p.p.s. Incidentally, N, my friend who gave me the honey, isn't a great big fan of vegetables either…although she does eat them in salad 😉

Give Shoppers a Better Fit this Season
Even with holiday shopping in full swing, online apparel retailers still have time to reduce returns and increase customer loyalty by helping consumers ensure a better fit before orders are placed.
Clothes Horse, a company in the fit guidance solution space, is one way how. The idea behind it is that the company's technology enables shoppers on retailer sites to purchase the right products with confidence, creating a better, more predictable shopping experience. To do this, customers are asked body-specific questions and questions about the fit of their favorite brands, to get a Clothes Hourse recommendation (telling them what fit works best).
Furthermore, the company's recently announced partnership with BrightTag, which enables Clothes Horse to provide instant activation of its fit and sizing widget for any BrightTag retail partner.
"BrightTag's focus on performance is critical to what we see in the market, and their approach to tag management and real-time data integration has all of the right benefits for our retail partners," said Vik Venkatraman, Co-Founder of Clothes Horse. "With our strengths combined, our mutual partners are going to have a serious leg up."
BrightTag works with many of the world's top retailers, such as Levi's, Old Navy, Crate & Barrel and more. It's important to note, however, that while BrightTag connects clients with tech partners, the actual connections a client makes are up to them.
New technologies like Clothes Horse are evolving the Internet. To read more about the tech state of e-commerce, check out this article here.

|nevirapine extended release
- Number of Patients Reporting Non-serious Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events, and Non-serious and Serious Adverse Events Leading to Treatment Discontinuation [ Time Frame: up to 72 weeks ]The primary endpoint is to evaluate the safety of a highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) that includes nevirapine extended release in routine clinical practice which is to assess the number of patients reporting non-serious adverse events (nSAEs), the number of patients with serious adverse events (SAE), the number of patients with non-serious adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation, and the number of patients with serious adverse events leading to discontinuation.
- Number of Patients Reporting Rash of Any Severity [ Time Frame: up to 72 weeks ]Number of patients reporting rash of any severity as adverse event
- Number of Patients Reporting Hepatic Events [ Time Frame: up to 72 weeks ]Number of patients reporting hepatic events either as adverse event (AE) or as laboratory abnormality of Grade 1 to Grade 4 in aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), Gamma-Glutamyl-Transferase (Gamma-GT) and bilirubin.
- Number of Patients With Virologic Response at Week 24 (Viral Load <50 Copies/mL) [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]Virologic response is defined as confirmed Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) viral load of < 50 copies/mL (at two consecutive measurements after baseline) up to week 24 and without subsequent rebound or change of anti-retroviral (ARV) therapy up to week 24. A rebound is defined as two consecutive measurements of viral load (VL) ≥ 50 copies/mL, at least two weeks apart, after two consecutive measurements of VL< 50 copies/mL. A change of ARV therapy is defined as a permanent discontinuation of nevirapine extended release, addition of new ARV drugs, or alteration in background therapy. A change in the background therapy due to toxicity or intolerance is not considered as treatment failure. If no follow-up viral load was available the virologic response is Missing.
- Change in CD4+ Cell Count From Baseline to Week 24 [ Time Frame: baseline and week 24 ]The change in the Cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4+) cell count from baseline after 24 weeks was calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the value after 24 weeks. Therefore, a positive change represents an increase in CD4+ cell count.
- Change in Morisky Medication Adherence Scale Score From Baseline to 24 Weeks [ Time Frame: baseline and week 24 ]The Morisky Medication Adherence scale (MMAS-8 scale) is a recognized indicator of medication adherence, consisting of 8 questions with a sum score ranging between 0 and 8 points. The higher score indicates higher adherence to the prescribed therapy recommendation. It has been agreed that the score of 8 could be categorized as having high adherence, score between 6 and 7 as medium adherence and scores of 5 and less as low adherence. The change is presented as the score after 24 weeks minus the score at baseline. Therefore, a positive change score reflects an improvement in the adherence.
- Number of Patients Reporting Once Daily Nevirapine Intake More Convenient Than Twice Daily Formulation [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ]The number of patients reporting that they find the once daily nevirapine intake more / very much more convenient than the twice daily formulation.

Troy sees new life in an old square
$27M project is intended as destination to aid downtown
A $27 million project to add residential, commercial and civic space to downtown has been selected by the city to transform Monument Square into a magnet for residents and visitors.
The 50-plus apartments, restaurant, parking spaces, farmers market, grocery store — and possibly a new city hall — are intended to provide a constant flow of people into downtown.
"It fulfills the vision of being a destination place. It's going to be an attraction," Mayor Lou Rosamilia said.
Another major benefit for the city, he said, is that the project will put the property back on the tax rolls.
The joint venture of Kirchhoff-Consigli and Sequence Development, along with other partners, is the city's choice for developing two buildings on the prime 2.1-acre Hudson River site at 1 Monument Square, where City Hall stood for three decades before it was demolished.
"It's a good project for downtown," said Randy Collins of CSArch, a partner in the proposal.
The city's signature site hasn't been used for more than three years after city government moved out and the building was razed.
"It's a place to be," said Greg Burns, president of Kirchhoff-Consigli.
The two five-story buildings — tentatively identified as Monument North and Monument South — are designed to fit into the city's Victorian architecture and become part of downtown's fabric instead of overwhelming what is the city's historic public gathering spot at Monument Square.
"This project is intended to be integrated into our downtown," said Jeff Buell of Sequence Development.
The development of 1 Monument Square will occur in two phases and take three years to complete.
The timeline for the project calls for obtaining the necessary city and financial approvals before breaking ground in August.
The garage and substructure would be finished a year later in August 2015. Monument North would be completed in October 2015. Monument South and the plaza would be done in the fall of 2016.
The first phase has two components: the construction of a 175-space parking garage with access from River and Front streets, followed by the first of the two buildings.
Monument North will be 100,000 square feet, with the first floor's 20,000 square feet planned to be the year-round home of the Troy Riverfront Farmers Market and a grocery. There will be 50-plus market rate and luxury apartments on the upper floors.
"The apartments will feature amenities that are absolute musts — balconies that overlook the downtown and Hudson River, rooftop patios and gardens, a rooftop community kitchen that allows for barbecuing and socializing, and a host of finishes that marry new and old Troy," the partners' proposal says.
Monument South will be 50,000 to 100,000 square feet with a plaza. Its use will be determined by the city's decision of the future location of City Hall.
There will be a first-floor restaurant. The initial proposal is for a new city hall to be built above the restaurant.
"It's civic space. It's a public-private partnership," said Tom Nardacci of Gramercy Communications, a partner in the project.
If the city opts not to relocate, the building will be home to a mix of residential, commercial and retail space. The city would then receive $650,000 for the land.
A city committee will study whether to move City Hall back to 1 Monument Square in a new building or to remain in the leased offices in the Hedley Building at 433 River St., Rosamilia said.
City Hall in Monument South would be built under a lease-purchase agreement. The city's monthly expense would be similar to the $30,241 the city pays monthly to rent 36,435 square feet on the fifth floor of the former headquarters for Cluett, Peabody & Co.
The city can opt out of its rental agreement for the Hedley site every two years. It has a 10-year lease and is currently in the second year.
Rosamilia said the new Monument Square redevelopment project satisfies the city's concerns about the developer having the financial resources to undertake the construction. Kirchhoff-Consigli has provided written assurances that it has the funds available.
"We're an $800 million company. Troy has been a place we wanted to be for a number of years," Burns said. "We're ready to go,"
The two previous proposals selected for the Monument Square site foundered over funding issues.
In its 2011 submission, Troy City Center LLC, a partnership between Nigro Cos. and The Richman Group, envisioned a $31.5 million project with 106 units, of which 60 percent would have been government subsidized, with retail and commercial space. Judge Development Corp. had a $50 million proposal in 2013 that included 100 units with commercial and retail space.
Rosamilia said the only other proposal considered during this round from the partnership of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Bonacio Construction and 3T Architects was good, but the Kirchoff-Consigli/Sequence plan stood out.

Robots Using ROS: STAIR 1, Aldebaran Nao, i-Sobot, and Stanford Racing's Junior
The ROS community has grown quickly over the past year, greatly increasing the number and variety of robots integrated with ROS. Over on ROS.org, there's a blog series highlighting some of these robots, as well as the open source ROS Repositories behind them.
The first four installments include:
- STAIR 1: the Stanford University mobile manipulation research platform that provided the predecessor of the ROS framework.
- Aldebaran Nao: a small, commercially available humanoid robot that demonstrated the ability of the ROS community (Brown University and University of Freiburg) to come together and develop open source drivers.
- i-Sobot: an even smaller humanoid robot controlled by the ROS PS3 joystick driver. The developer has been publishing a Japanese-language blog on ROS, helping ROS reach new audiences.
- Junior: Stanford Racing's autonomous car that finished a close second in the DARPA Urban Challenge. Junior's main software framework is IPC, but ROS's modular libraries have made it easy to integrate ROS-based perception libraries into their obstacle classification system.
For more information, please see the full posts on ROS.org.

Some mobile app controls enabled even while car is being driven
Some mobile app controls enabled even while car is being driven
Agreed, you should not be able to operate the car through the phone if it is moving.
I don't know about that...I recall a 007 movie where that came in very hnady! :-)
Or handy even...
I'm not sure why driving is the criteria -- why not just on?
I leave a remote app connected 24/7 to collect data on the car, while I am driving it or parked. Of course it only collects data from the streaming API and things like climate_state, but I would be very unhappy if that access is blocked while the car is in operation.
How is it different from doing those functions from the touchscreen? I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed; they're not dangerous things, not even very disruptive. If you are giving out your credentials, that's a mistake...you shouldn't be taken off guard, no one should be "playing" with the app whether you're driving or not. (shrug) So how is it really a problem?
And as you say, you can just turn off remote access if you don't want it allowed (heck, you could do it when you get in the car). I wouldn't bother, though.
I'd like the option to exist to flash the lights and blow the horn when its moving. I will always be on the same side of the world as the car. And if I walk out and find the car gone, while I am talking to 5-0, I would want to be able to tell them its GPS location and that I am forcing it to flash its lights and blow the horn to bring attention to the jerk that has stolen it.
If you don't like that feature being enabled, then simply don't use it. But it could be handy.

text: I've been looking to get a rim fire for small game. Trying to decide between 17 HMR or standard 22 long rifle. Might go with a pistol like the Ruger 22/45 with some kind of reflex sight or bolt action rifle with low powered scope in a 1-4x, not sure which way to go yet. This will be used for grouse, squirrels and rabbits. Accuracy is my number one concern being that I dont want to ruin or lose meat on grouse, worried the 17 could cause too much meat damage if anything other than a head shot is used. Lets here what you all think.

Those high levels changed fish habitat and behavior and provided less bank access for anglers. The Lake is currently at 748 feet. Visitors to the area for the Knoxville Nationals are encouraged to take advantage of the great fishing opportunities at Red Rock. Temporary licenses are available at the Marion County Courthouse.

Parenthood is definitely the toughest and the most challenging task. From giving birth to a child to growing him up into a civilized human, parents have to face various turbulences in life. The way the child grows and what he becomes in future is all influenced by the way parents handle their child and the kind of environment they give. As the child grows up it is very important to keep him active and busy into good activities. More of free time makes your child lazy and pushes him to get indulged in something that may not be good for him. It's the job of parents to choose some constructive activities and pastimes to ensure healthy growth and development of their child. This is where the role of hobby classes comes into course.
Hobby classes for children are the best pastimes for them that contribute to their overall development. It also plays a vital role in exploring their hidden talents and boosting their self confidence. Children also discover their skills and abilities during the course that they use to their benefit to showcase their credentials in due course of life. Nowadays there are many hobby classes conducted in various places. Some are regular classes and some classes are conducted during vacations so that children can make wise of their holidays. The only thing that parents need to consider is the interest of their children. They should not push their children to learn something that they are least interested in.
Some of the most popular hobby classes for children are art and craft, dance classes, music, and sports. Art and craft classes are great for those children who have a passion for drawing. A class like this will help to enhance their drawing skills and help them explore their imaginations and creativity. Art and craft classes include variety of courses like drawing, flower making, basket making, greeting cards, paper decorations, and jewelry making.
Dance classes are also of various types like free hand dancing, kathak, bharatnatyam, hip-hop, salsa, jazz, and movie dance. These classes contribute in boosting self confidence and bring an open outlook towards life. Dance makes children more expressive and helps in improving the coordination between heart, mind, and body. This coordination is really essential in human life as it influences our behavior and controls our daily activities. Music and singing classes are also very impressive for children. Almost all children are influenced by the movies and enjoy music to a great extent. Vocal music, singing classes, guitar training, tabla, and harmonium are all different types of music classes that are conducted for children.
Children today are also involved in various sports activities like skating, cricket, tennis, badminton, and swimming. All these activities make children sporty and active. It not only enhances physical activeness but also offers freshness to mind and calmness to heart.
