Mobile Office Apps
We're often asked about Office apps on the iOS and Android mobile operating systems. While an official Microsoft Office app does exist for most mobile systems, it requires an active Office 365 subscription. For those users who don't have that subscription (probably you, if you're reading this), there are several great alternatives.
I recommend the official Google Drive app, available for iOS and Android systems. It allows you to access all of your LakerApps files stored on Drive, including spreadsheets and presentations. Best of all, it's free!
Alternative apps can be found under the "Productivity" category on the Google Play and iOS App Store. A popular iOS alternative is Pages ($9.99), an Apple made app. On the Android side of things, expert Office aficionados prefer Quickoffice Pro ($14.99) for an expensive experience. Drop us a line in the comments and let us know what mobile Office you prefer!

Marquette, Mich.—United States Olympic Education Center Greco-Roman wrestlers earned four out of seven spots on the University World Team during yesterday's University World Team Trials in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus first impressions
Are customers willing to pay $399 for a 7-inch Android tablet? That's the question Samsung is asking with their new Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. We already know that millions are buying up the $199 Kindle Fire, so why would anyone want to spend an extra $200 for Samsung's latest offering?
I just spent a week with the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and I can easily say it's the best 7-inch Android tablet I have ever used. However, I don't think Samsung will be selling many units with a starting price that is twice the competition.
It's true that Samsung's 7-inch tablet has its advantages over the Kindle Fire. The Tab 7.0 Plus features twice the internal storage (16 GB vs 8 GB), twice the RAM (1 GB vs 512 MB), a 20% faster dual-core processor (1.2 GHz vs 1.0 GHz), and a microSD expansion slot. The Tab 7.0 Plus also runs Android 3.2 Honeycomb and ships with the official Android Market, while the Kindle Fire features a heavily customized version of Android with the Amazon Appstore.
Even with all that going for it, I still have a hard time recommending the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus to friends in search of an Android tablet. Anyone looking for a budget tablet should go with the Kindle Fire at $199 (or Nook Tablet at $249) and anyone shopping for a high-end tablet will want to go with the quad-core Transformer Prime at $499.
Check out our quick hands-on video for a first look at the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. We plan to post a full 10-point review sometime next week, so let us know if there are any specific areas you would like us to cover.

Preliminaries for the 10th Changqi Cup finished May 31 after three days of fierce matches. When the smoke cleared, Tan Xiao 7P, Liu Xing 7P, Shi Yue 9P, and Lian Xio 4P stood above the rest, including last year's defending champions Chen Yaoye 9P and Tuo Jiaxi 3P. The finalist's circle was especially sweet for Liu as he competed in 2007, 2008, and 2011 to no avail. However, this year he bested his two-time conqueror Gu Li 9P. No date has been set for the semifinals, although the finals have been scheduled for late October 2013.
Known as one of China's "most generously sponsored tournaments" with a grand prize of over $73,000 USD, the Changqi Cup always draws China's top players. Pros who made an appearance this year were Chang Hao 9P, Fan Tingyu 9P, Kong Jie 9P, and Jiang Weijie 9P, to name a few. Joint-hosts the Chinese Go Association and the Ing Foundation (Shanghai Branch) originally came together in 2004 to honor Ing Chang-ki. For more information about this year's tournament including photos and game records, please visit Go Game Guru.

He's so HOT!!!! i read all the books and i am actually going 2 read them again!!!!lol BEST BOOK SERIES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have just been on the news on taylor lautners website and they are saying that dakota fanning has been offered the part of JANE!! it is also confirmed on her wiki page! Im not really sure wether this is a good thing or not!!!! what do you guys think???
not many comments on this pg r there
me encantan los cullen en especial jasper y edward son geniales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me and my Friend Terri Are Robert lovers me more than her but we always talk about him you name it i know it. So ya need to get real cause he's all mine!!! Robert if you read this im yours wait for me when your 25 i will be 18
LOL! Ladies, chickies, and every girl and woman out there…I have a few things I must say. First of all, I am embarrased to admit that I have just become a somewhat of a big fan of the movie, Twilight. I don't know what it is, that made me so drawn and absorbed to the movie. Perhaps, maybe it is from the romantic point of view of the movie's plot. Secondley, it could be Robert Pattinson, who has the most distinctive, structured, masculine, and handsome facial features. Oh, and I am not going to forget about those eyes of his. His eyes, are so mysterious, sincere and shy all at the same time. Thirdly, I feel a little weird for being so into a movie like this, maybe it is because times are tough, and it is every girls dream to be loved as Edward did for Bella in which it helps to get some of the worlds corruption out of the worlds mind for a few mins. However, it did work, well Robert helped me get my mind off my worries, with those eyes of his. That I cannot deny!
One more point, I cannot help but, notice that while I was reading some of the previous comments on her, that everyone is in love with Edward…or do they mean Robert? As I hope everyone understands, Edward is only a fictional charachter, where in reality his name is Robert.
Hmmm…. I cannot say that I do not totally understand how someone can be totally in love with a fictional character, because when I was 16 at that time it was Leonardo DiCaprio with Titanic, but people please know the difference between whats real and whats not.
Well, I hate to say, but gosh….i cannot help but to contradict to what i just said…….by saying that its hard to resist watching the movie, but to only dream with wishful desires that it would be in reality………..in a away.
DId i make sense?
i can not wait till new moon eclipse and breaking dawn!!! i read the books and it soooo not fair that bella gets to screw edward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO SCREW EDWARD ANYDAY AND I WOULD STAY UP ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT EVEN THO IM NOT A VAMPIRE!!!! IDC
awsm website…i luv twilight….proud 2 b a twilighter….
Wish Stephenie Meyer would read this. I read the books, both english and spanish versions, since my native language is spanish, and let me tell you, spanish version is outrageous, they did not take the time to make an accurate translation, so there are dialogs where edward would say bella´s lines, or where they would say something completely different that doesn´t make sense at all…it´s awful. And it would be great that THE BOOKS would be revised, and translated again, because I think we all deserve to read exactly what stephenie wrote, the way she meant the story to be.
OMG!!!!!!ECliPse IS THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!!!! TAYLOR LAUTNER IS MINE!!!! TEAM JACOB ALL THE FREAKIN WAY

Albemarle Place: Ahead of the cut-through curve
Cut-throughs. Neighborhoods hate 'em. But apparently retailers take a more benevolent view of drivers who use their shopping center streets as shortcuts. The new Albemarle Place has designed a cut-through road to lure customers in by offering them another way to stay off U.S. 29.
Albemarle Place Boulevard will link U.S. 29 at the Main Post Office to Hydraulic Road at Cedar Hill Road, according to planner/designer Frank Cox of the Cox Company. And because of the new road's high-capacity access, he isn't worried that it might become clogged with commuters.
"You want to make sure folks are not subjected to congestion in your project," he explains. "Sometimes people abandon a shopping center because traffic circulation is pathetic." Does any particular example of that in Charlottesville come to mind? "No comment," says Cox.
Like the Hillsdale Drive Extension on the east side of Seminole Trail, Albemarle Place's cut-through road on the west side of U.S. 29 is designed to draw traffic off 29.
However, Cox points out major differences in the two projects: "Albemarle Place Boulevard will be built at the expense of the developer. Hillsdale is now an extremely expensive project the public will have to pay for," thanks to Charlottesville's lack of "regional planning foresight 25 years ago."
Designing in a connector road "was our idea," claims Cox. "VDOT and the County have recognized that road is very important. It's a relief valve for traffic north and west of the city because it doesn't have to go through the Hydraulic intersection."
"[Cox's] project by itself will not make a parallel road," says Barnes. "It will take cooperation from Comdial to create a functional parallel road between Hydraulic and Greenbrier. And there's the possibility of extension north of Greenbrier. The Albemarle Place project is laying the foundation for a future parallel road to Route 29."
To critics who say Albemarle Place will only make the Hydraulic/29 intersection worse, Cox answers, "The traffic at Albemarle Place will be inconsequential."
Far worse, he predicts, will be the planned traffic light at Best Buy, the electronic superstore slated to open November 7. "That signal will create a stopper that holds back volume and will back up traffic even farther than it does now," he says.
Barnes doesn't quite agree that Albemarle Place's impact on the Hydraulic/29 intersection will be inconsequential. "That's debatable," he says. "They will have an impact on traffic in that intersection."
The county would like to see Albemarle Place Boulevard become a public road. Is paying to build what's destined to become a shortcut through private property worth it?
Albemarle Place's developers think so. Except for rush-hour commuters, drivers who are diverted into the shopping center "have a shopping trip in mind," says Cox. "We'd encourage more diverted traffic. We hope to attract and titillate consumers who might think to go someplace else."

Open Source Software Shortcut -- Escaping SSH With '~'
More open source software
One thing you may not know about SSH is that it has an escape character: ~. To try it out, hit return (the escape character is only picked up at he start of a line, so you must make sure you are) at the console in an active SSH session, then enter ~. Nothing will show on screen; so far so good. Next, hit Ctrl-Z and the session will be suspended -- handy if you want to check something on your local box without logging all the way out of SSH. This trick will also work from within screen, and even from within mutt. To return to your SSH session, type fg and hit return.SSH's escape character may be one of its best kept secrets. Using '~' can suspend a session as well as a host of other escape sequences. Learn how to get the most out of these open source software shortcuts.
This isn't the only use for ~. For a full list of escape sequences, type ~?. This one doesn't work within mutt; however, only from a console, although screen is fine.
Another potentially useful escape sequence option is ~C, which gives you an SSH command line. Type ? here to see the available commands; this way you can set up forwards without having to restart your SSH session. If you do set any up, you can get a list of them with ~#.
~. will close the connection and any associated sessions. This is useful if the network connection drops out; you can close the SSH session immediately, rather than waiting for it to time out (and without closing your local console window).
Finally, if you want, you can change the escape character with the -e option on the command line. To change it to %:
SSH -e % email@example.com

Do you recognize this medallion?
A medallion worn around the neck of a young Barry Soetoro in Indonesia appears in a picture of the Soetoro family which is featured in the article "The Three Stooges go to Washington: Part 3, Barack Hussein Obama" by Don Nicoloff, which was published in fthe September 15, 2008 issue of The Idaho Observer newspaper. Do you know what this medallion is, or what it signifies?

Nokia World Nokia announced a rival to its new owner's Surface RT tablets today, along with its first two phablets, aka phondleslabs, at the final Nokia World partner event in Abu Dhabi today.
Nokia also disclosed that Vine and Instagram are coming to Windows Phone, making it a little easier to sell to that vital demographic of self-obsessed hipsters.
Like Microsoft's Surface, plenty of thought has been put into making a 10-inch fondleslab work nicely with a detachable keyboard. The Lumia 2520, as it is called, comes with 4G and is keenly priced ($499); the $149 detachable Power Keyboard has a gesture trackpad – a nice idea, since switching from typing to swiping is inconvenient.
The 2520 has a 15-hour (8800mAh) battery and it can reach 50 per cent of a full charge in 45 minutes, according to Nokia. And the pricing is certainly aggressive: the $499 before tax and subsidies means it's roughly where Atom-powered netbooks used to live. You can, of course, get a passable conventionally designed laptop for that price, so the convenience has to be worth it.
Nokia's first RT slab, with detachable keyboard
But, wait. Microsoft wrote off $1bn for its first flop Surface RT – so what makes Nokia think the market had suddenly developed an appetite for RT tablets? Nokia CEO Stephen Elop said tablets tend to be used in morning and evening peak times but not during the day, and part of the reason was that 80 per cent of tablets today are Wi-Fi only.
Nokia's Lumia 2520 includes a SIM slot and claims the highest peak brightness (650 nits) with lowest reflectivity (under 6pc). Alas, the oversampling sensor technology is not part of the deal: probably to keep costs down, the 2520 has a decent 6.7MP conventional phone sensor and optics and a 2MP front camera.
It's also introducing a better camera. Perhaps part of the reason Nokia has a chance is timing: the hardware and software are more mature. The first RT software lacked a decent Office suite and Outlook was completely absent. The 2520 is pre-installed with Windows 8.1 which means Word, PowerPoint, Excel and One Note have improved, and Outlook has arrived.
The 2520 also sees offline HERE maps bundled and an exclusive DreamWorks game for kids - both acknowledgements that iPads are used a lot in cars.
Elop announcing Nokia's first true fondleslab. It's true: you don't need a stylus.
The UK should see availability of the 2520 this quarter, and in other markets in Q1 2014. )
Big phones too
Nokia announced two phondleslabs - both 6-inch monsters – one including some of Nokia's high end technology alongside a budget model. The Lumia 1520 includes Nokia's own oversampling camera technology seen in the PureView 808 and Lumia 1020, in a smaller 20MP sensor. It also sports a fine 1080p display, the new resolution enabled by the latest GDR3 version of Windows Phone 8. A budget model, the Lumia 1320 is aimed at "the younger crowd" is same size but with much more modest specs: 4G but only a 720p display and 5MP camera.
The 1520 has wireless charging built in and a 3400mAh non-removable battery.
Lumia 1520: Huge screen, stonking battery and wireless charging built in
All the new devices today include a "Storyteller" app and a revised camera app – again. Native Vine and Instagram apps are finally coming, with Vine first. The Beamer screen sharing app is also bundled – a very useful app once people figure out how to use it.
It remains to be seen whether Microsoft will allow the Lumia 2520 the opportunity to hit the market, as it goes head to head with its own Surface range.
Given that Surface distribution was constricted while Nokia has a great distribution chain via its long-time operator partners, and that the 2520 has a few USPs of its own, it would be daft to strangle it at birth. With Microsoft, you just never know. ®

Watching a real life version of Escher's Impossible Waterfall melts my brain. The more I look at, the more confused I get! Thankfully, the secret on how the whole illusion works is out. There's clear DIY instructions on how to make your own impossible waterfall on Instructables and that video above shows what's really going on.
Note: It's not a walk in the park to make. You'll need to string up PVC tubes and an electric water pump, use angled grinder and glue guns, and most importantly, film the whole setup at the most perfect angle to complete the illusion.

Dear Chelsea Manning: birthday messages from Edward Snowden, Terry Gilliam and more
(Blog Editor's Note: Have you written Chelsea a birthday card yet? It's not to late. Check out our Political Prisoner Birthday Poster for December here to get her address and more.)
From The Guardian
Yesterday, December 18th, Chelsea Manning – heroine, whistleblower and inmate – turned 27. She has been behind bars for four years and eight months, ever since her arrest for leaking classified US documents. There isn't much prospect that she will be released any time soon. Manning is serving a 35-year sentence, with the earliest possibility of parole being in 2021. She has appealed to Barack Obama for a pardon. It seems unlikely he will grant it.
It is against this gloomy and unpropitious backdrop that leading writers, artists and public figures from around the world are today sending Chelsea birthday greetings. Their contributions include letters, poems, drawings and original paintings. Some are philosophical – yes, that's you, Slavoj Žižek – others brief messages of goodwill. A few are movingly confessional.
All send a powerful reminder: that for millions in the US and beyond, Chelsea Manning is an inspiring moral figure who deserves our continued support. Her leaks, published in 2010, at a time when Manning was unhappily stationed with the US military in Baghdad, revealed the true nature of America's twin wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They also illuminated the gulf between Washington's private thinking and its public diplomacy.
Edward Snowden sums up the mood of collective gratitude: "I thank you now and forever for your extraordinary act of service and I am sorry that it has come with such an unbelievable personal cost. As a result of your courageous act, the American people are more informed about the workings of our government as it positions itself for endless war … For this we all thank you. Happy birthday, Chelsea." (more…)

Yelp (NYSE:YELP) has done a great job of being the de facto platform for local search. The company has built a thriving social network around getting review information from web visitors and is increasingly becoming more of a social media platform and not a stand-alone review site. Yelp's fundamentals are robust, and the company is consistently growing its revenues in the 60%-70% range.
Yelp has a large addressable market and the management intends to make it bigger by expanding the company's reach across the globe. The big pullback in the company's stock price provides long-term investors a great chance to buy Yelp's stock because the company's valuation is a lot more reasonable compared to its recent highs but provides big upside potential in the long-run.
Long-term potential
The company continues to see its core fundamental metrics moving rapidly in the right direction. Yelp saw large increases in user traffic which stands at more than 132 million users including 61 million from mobile devices. The company's revenue growth in the last quarter stood at 66%, and even raised its revenue and EBITDA guidance for fiscal 2014.
Yelp's social platform has seen robust growth in user-generated content (UGC). User reviews grew 46% year-over-year to 57 million, as Yelp is becoming a major social media platform like Facebook (NASDAQ:FB). Yelp is only at a fraction of Facebook's monthly audience of more than 1.28 billion global users, and has substantial growth room down the road as the company rolled out operations in recently in Japan, Mexico and Argentina.
Yelp also has an extensive amount of usage on mobile devices just like Facebook. In the last earnings call, Yelp's management disclosed that 60% of all search queries are coming on mobile devices. For Facebook, almost 80% of its total monthly user base is coming in from mobile devices, so Yelp still has room to grow on that front.
And most importantly, Yelp is growing the number of paying local businesses rapidly. In the last quarter, Yelp saw active business accounts grow to 74,000 and the number of listed local businesses grow to 1.5 million. In the years ahead, Yelp can easily grow the total number of listed business and paying local advertisers dramatically.
Local ad market is huge
Yelp's management has laid out their intentions to grow the company's footprint globally. In the future, Yelp is likely to have a much bigger presence from current levels, and this translates into a lot of growth potential in terms of adding more user traffic, advertisers and revenues.
And the local advertising market is a huge one worldwide. According to a study by Google, consumers are increasingly using smartphones to figure out the business hours, directions and address of local businesses, and the online platforms like Yelp stand to benefit from this consumer trend. And advertisers are chiming in. According to eMarketer, national advertisers and local advertisers will spend $54.4 billion and $83.6 billion in 2014 to target local consumers in the U.S.
Restaurant reservation platform
Yelp broadened its revenue potential with the acquisition of SeatMe in 2013, a company that offers reservation service to restaurants. Yelp will likely be more aggressive in marketing its SeatMe platform because it has a few competitive edges relative to OpenTable (NYSE:OPEN).
SeatMe offers its restaurant service with no upfront costs, and a fee of $99/month. This pricing from SeatMe underprices OpenTable which offers a pricier service. OpenTable charges $199/month and has one-time setup fees and recurring cover charges. OpenTable provides online restaurant reservations to more than 31,000 restaurants, and over time SeatMe can be a superior competitor and one that is substantially less expensive for restaurants.
SeatMe can gain solid momentum in signing up newer restaurant clients, as its parent company has more than 130 million unique visitors, and that can prove to be a great bait for on-boarding restaurants. In addition, Yelp will allow restaurants with a profile page on Yelp to take bookings for free. Yelp is clearly delivering a compelling value proposition to local businesses, and in the process diversifying its revenue base.
Going Forward
Yelp has gained a lot of traction in signing up new businesses and growing its consumer usage. The business doesn't have significant competition and has slowly built up a strong position on mobile devices. Yelp struck a deal with YP.com which should grow the number of advertisers on its platform. Yelp has a lot of intrinsic value and is worth far more than what it is trading for. The company is inching toward profitability, and should be a positive earnings story in the next few quarters. In addition, Yelp offers a lot of strategic value to numerous big Internet names including Facebook and Google and can be an acquisition target as well.

Suzanne D'Ambrose, of Neptune, N.J, is the winner of the 2014 Stanley Dancer Award from the N.J. Chapter of the U.S. Harness Writers Association. The award honors an individual whose efforts on behalf of racing and cooperation with the media are in keeping with the example set by the late Hall of Fame driver and trainer Stanley Dancer, a native of New Egypt, N.J.
D'Ambrose, a retired high school teacher and mounted police officer, has given countless hours of both her time and that of her family-friendly 13 -year-old trotter, Independent Act, aka Indy, in doing outreach events for the Standardbred industry.
D'Ambrose and Indy have appeared at libraries throughout the state to help celebrate New Jersey's Month of the Horse each June. This month so far, the duo will be at the Howell Library at 6 pm on June 11, the Manalapan Library on June 30, as well as June 29 at Fair Winds Farm in Cream Ridge, N.J.
Indy has patiently been petted and fed carrots by hundreds of adults and children, many of them making their first ever equine encounter. He has often been the only "boy" at Girl Scout camps where D'Ambrose teaches horsemanship.
D'Ambrose, who is a freelance equine massage therapist, also volunteers extensively with the Standardbred Retirement Foundation (SRF) on fund raising events as well as helping with adoption outreach events. She even provides complimentary massages for horses rehabilitating from racing injuries and awaiting adoption.
Independent Act retired from racing at age 6 and now accompanies D'Ambrose as the two represent the breed in parades, hunter paces, Western trail classes and showmanship competition.
Previous winners of the Dancer Award, since1991, were drivers John Campbell, Herve Filion, Ray Remmen and Luc Ouellette; trainers Robbie Siegelman, Kevin and John McDermott, Kelly Stackowicz and George Teague Jr.; the father-son team of Carl and Rod Allen; the duo of trainer Jimmy Takter and owner/amateur driver Mal Burroughs, the Meirs Family of Walnridge Farms for the Niatross Tour, Robert J. Sharkey, the go-to guy at Meadowlands, SBOA of New Jersey President Tom Luchento, Meadowlands General Manager Chris McErlean, the late veterinarian Dr. Pat Knapman.

The best times to visit are May-June and September-October, when the climate is at its mildest. Although the weather can be unpredictable, late April is beautiful with daffodils, tulips and flowering trees. Expect daytime highs of 73-83 F/22-28 C in spring and 66-77 F/18-25 C in the fall. A sweater or light jacket will protect against cool evenings—mid-40s to mid-50s F/7-12 C. There's no distinct rainy season, so there should be lots of sunshine mixed with rain.
There's some snow November-March, with yearly totals running from 6 in/15 cm to 44 in/112 cm. There is potential for fairly fast and heavy snowstorms, so you'll want to check the forecast. Winter temperatures can be quite cold (0 F/-17 C), but normally range 17-39 F/-4 to 3 C.

Quarter-fold Heart Pocket Valentine's Day Card
My mother-in-law sent valentines out to my kids a week early this year. She decorated quarter-fold cut-out hearts and put stickers inside the pockets. I'm not sure where she found the template, but these adorable homemade cards are very simple to make and look impressive. Over the weekend we made 22 heart pockets to give out to my daughter's classmates. I looked all over for instructions online and couldn't find a link anywhere, so I'm posting the directions here in case someone else wants to try crafting a few for Valentine's Day.
Quarter Fold Heart Pocket Directions:
1. Start with a large square piece of cardstock or scrapbook paper. Fold paper in half, then in half again so that you have a quarter-folded square.
2. Position the square so that the open ends point up and the folded sides point down. Draw the two top curves of the heart on the upper part of the paper, letting the two folded sides make the sides of the heart. (Your heart will need to be symmetrical for this to work out.)
3. Cut the top curves of the heart out with a scissors, leaving the folded sides of the heart intact.
4. Unfold the hearts. The paper will have a shamrock shape. Flip the paper over and fold the shamrock in half.
5. Flip the paper over again. Push the middle two hearts (ones with the fold) to the center. They will fold in half. The top and bottom hearts will line up on top of each other.
6. The finished heart can be unfolded and decorated on all sides. This design is fun to decorate using rubber stamping techniques or other embellishments and stickers. We put flat candy bags (like M&Ms and Fun Dip) or small objects (like post-it note pads) in the pouch of our hearts. Staple or tape the top shut and you have a fun valentine card gift to exchange with others.

Burger is getting blasted into space, thanks to executive producers James Parriott (Grey's Anatomy) and Michael Edelstein (Desperate Housewives). Ron Livingston's new starring role in the space drama titled Defying Gravity was wrapped up in one terrifying sentence from Parriott: "Throw in a little bit of Grey's and Lost, and you have a pretty good international TV show." Seriously?All Gray's jokes aside, this 13-episode drama is a collaborative venture among several international media companies. Fox TV has combined forces with Canada's CTW, Fox Studios Germany's ProSieben and the BBC. This worldly undertaking follows the story of eight international astronauts and their six-year mission into the great unknown universe. According to the Hollywood Reporter German actress Florentine Lahme has also joined the crew on Defying Gravity, but the rest of the cast is still unknown. The first episode will begin production on January 19th, 2009. But besides Parriott's work on Grey's Anatomy, he also worked on the original Bionic Woman and The Incredible Hulk so I'm expecting some fun science fiction mixed in with that big serving of relationship drama.

Ancient teeth reveal modern tooth decay
A major shift in our dietary habits has altered the oral microbiota composition in our mouths, according to Dr Christina Adler.
Prehistoric and medieval skeletons have revealed the incidence of dental decay could be worse than ever because of a decline in modern human's oral microbiota levels.
Results of the four year PhD study by Dr Christina Adler, Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Sydney have been published online today in the journal Nature Genetics.
A major shift in our dietary habits has altered the oral microbiota composition in our mouths said Dr Adler, who worked with an international team including researchers from the University of Adelaide's Australian Centre for Ancient DNA on the research project.
The team, including archaeologists and anthropologists, collected and analysed calculus samples from skeletons dating from prehistoric and medieval times.
"The composition of oral microbiota underwent a distinct shift with the introduction of farming in the Neolithic era with the earlier hunter-gatherer groups displaying fewer caries (tooth decay) - and periodontal disease associated bacteria," Dr Adler said.
"We found that the composition of oral microbiota remained surprisingly constant between Neolithic and Medieval times, after which cariogenic (tooth-decay promoting) bacteria became dominant, we think during the Industrial Revolution."
"This is the first record of how our evolution over the last 7500 years has impacted the bacteria we carry with us, and has important health consequences," Study leader, Professor Alan Cooper, Director of the University of Adelaide's Australian Centre for Ancient DNA, said.
Dr Adler said modern oral microbiotas are markedly less diverse than our historic populations and this might be contributing to the current state of chronic oral disease associated with post-industrial lifestyles.
"Imagine your mouth is like a forest," Dr Adler said.
"In the past our mouths were like a very diverse forest, with a huge variety of trees. Today our mouths are like a sparser and less varied forest, and with this loss of diversity we are less able to cope with stresses, and hence are more likely to be in a disease state.
"Caries (tooth decay) has become a major endemic disease, affecting 60 to 90 per cent of school-aged children in industrialised countries, whilst periodontal disease occurs in 5 to 20 per cent of the adult population worldwide.
"Importantly, oral bacteria are also associated with many systemic diseases including arthritis, cardiovascular disease and diabetes, in addition to diseases of the oral cavity, which gives this research further significance."

Forum Post: Sen. Sanders: Voters must Re-Elect Obama & defeat right-wing extremism

Sen. Sanders: Voters must Re-Elect Obama & defeat right-wing extremism
Independent senator makes pitch for Obama
By Suzanne Laurent
September 23, 2012 2:00 AM
PORTSMOUTH — The lower level of South Church was packed with an enthusiastic crowd as U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., rallied for the re-election of President Obama.
Sanders said he preferred the town meeting style of campaigning to the "negative ads and sound bites being thrown at people."
Before he spoke, two union representatives said a few words. Tom Hersey, business manager of Union 976 in Portsmouth, said one of the first things Mitt Romney would do is repeal the Davis-Bacon Act for prevailing wages on public works projects. Laborers from Union 976 dismantled the Memorial Bridge.
Karen Cusson, recording secretary of CWA Local 1400 for Verizon workers, said the thought of not having unions in this country "scares me." "Union members in your state are the middle class," she said.
Sanders said the union movement is a good thing for the entire country.
He then talked about jobs and the economy.
"When President Obama assumed the office four years ago from George W. Bush, the country was losing 700,000 jobs a month and the nation's financial system was on the verge of collapse," he said. "This is the result of greed on Wall Street. Millions lost homes, jobs and their life savings."
Sanders went on to list the differences between the two sides on just about everything: health care, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, women's issues and the environment.
"To deal with the deficit, (the Republicans) want to cut virtually every program that working families depend upon," he said.
But, he said, getting Obama re-elected would not be enough. "It is absolutely imperative that we defeat right-wing extremism," he said. "Second, we have to build an educated, politically informed movement to put pressure on the White House and say you have to worry about us and not just the guys on Wall Street."
Laurie McCray, vice president of the Portsmouth Democratic Committee, came to hear Sanders with her son Michael Nowak. Nowak is 23 and has Down syndrome.
"My son fully accepts personal responsibility," McCray said. "He does need Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid." She said he works three part-time jobs. "He's looking for a hand-up, not a hand-out," she said.
McCray said she grew up in Michigan when Mitt Romney's father, George, was governor.
"My parents and their friends would not vote for the Romney of today," she said. "I wish all Americans could have the wealth distribution and power of such a small group of those in Congress that are making decisions affecting all Americans."
Caroline French of Dover said Medicare and Social Security are not in jeopardy, as the Republicans "would have us believe." "The fear-mongering is shameless," she said.
Barbara and John Gregg of Portsmouth came to hear Sanders speak. "He has the right ideas," Barbara Gregg said. "We need to change the tax structure. The inequality of incomes is a big issue."
Lenore Patton of Hampton said there are a lot of issues important to her. "The Affordable Health Care Act has made a tremendous difference with me. I have a lot of health issues and Obama has done away with the lifetime limit on major surgeries," she said. "(The Republicans) also have to stop the war on women's health issues."
Younger people in the audience had concerns about women's rights like Aubrey Sambor, 31, of Portsmouth. She was accompanied by Ted Pennings, a 25-year-old software developer from Portsmouth.
"Health care and the economy are big issues for me right now," he said.

The idea behind the Tweetup was to gather up cocktail enthusiasts, many of whom are on Twitter, for an interactive event/cocktail party. We were fortunate enough to have Jean-Marc Roger, the president of Chartreuse Diffusion, visiting from France, which he only does twice a year. And although he wasn't willing to share the 130-item ingredient list for the age-old spirit, which is still made by monks in the French Alps, he was kind enough to donate yellow and green Chartreuse so the ladies of LUPEC could create Chartreuse-based cocktails for the group.
There were six drinks in all, each with an entirely different flavor profile, but each featuring yellow or green Chartreuse, and sometimes even both. The Bubbly Scribe was a light and easy drink, perfect for kicking of the night, created by Meaghan Dorman, of Raines Law Room. The citrus blends beautifully with the Chartreuse, and the bubbles lift it to a festive level. If you haven't been to Raines, it's a perfect example of the pre-prohibition speakeasy cocktail dens that are dotting the city of late, named after an 1896 New York State tax law passed in an attempt to curb liquor consumption. It's down a few stairs, filled with cozy booths equiped with buzzers for summoning the waitstaff.
The recipe, after the jump.

We are truly blessed to have the opportunity to work with some of the finest wedding planners in Dallas, and Laura and Jonathan's reception was just such an occasion. Their reception would be at the Ritz Carlton, with the fantastic variety band, Emerald City, performing for the guests. I was called upon to act as Master of Ceremonies for the reception, then DJ an after-party after the formal reception.
Marsha Ballard French, of Stardust Celebrations, was the planner, and the evening was nothing short of exquisite! For cocktails, we set up four speakers in the foyer of the hotel, and put a microphone on the piano, where Luana Stoutmeyer of Encore Productions would play cocktail music. We also introduced Laura and Jonathan into the foyer for the cake cutting, then again (with the wedding party) into the ballroom.
Beautiful ballroom with uplighting and floral lighting.
The after-party.
Laura and Jonathan – our bride and groom.

HANOI (AFP) — Floods have killed at least 12 people in central Vietnam, emergency services said Friday, as heavy rains lashed the capital Hanoi and left many streets under one metre (three feet) of water.
Worst-hit central Ha Tinh province — where muddy waters inundated dozens of homes and hundreds of hectares of rice and other crops — reported seven deaths, said the National Flood and Storm Prevention Committee.
"A 48-year-old man was swept away after feeding his buffalo and a 19-year-old man was killed on the way to husk rice," said the committee's online report, adding that three of the victims were children.
More deaths were reported from Nghe An, Quang Ngai and Quang Nam provinces.
A week of heavy rains has swollen rivers and triggered flash floods and landslides in the region, where downpours continued Friday.
In northern Vietnam, the capital Hanoi was also hit by heavy rains that turned streets into rivers and caused traffic chaos, leaving many people stranded as flood waters soaked their motorcycle engines.
Vietnam gets lashed by typhoons, tropical storms and heavy rains every year. According to government figures, floods and landslides in Vietnam last year left 435 people dead and missing.
