In January I made the jump from my iPhone 4s to the Samsung Galaxy SIII. There were a few reasons—which I'll get into in a moment—but let me first say that I did love my iPhone and I am not an Apple hater.
I first became an iPhone user in 2009, with the purchase of a 3GS. Immediately I was in love. But after a few short weeks, I wanted more. More customization. More abilities. I wanted to be able to have a direct dial icon, for example. I wanted to be able to change my lock screen. So, I jalbroke it. Loved it. But still, I wanted more. I wanted more memory storage. I, like so many people with smartphones, used my phone's camera for everything. I was running out of space very frequently. And at that time, it was a pain to get the photos off the camera, back them up, and so on.
When the 4S came out, I was stoked. More features! Siri! But again, the novelty wore off. I was using the phone more for the camera and it just wasn't keeping up with my demands. During the time of owning the 4S, I had another baby. And surely, anyone—parent or not—knows what follows: tons of photos! Exasperated because my space was being used up even more quickly, I had enough.
Enter the Samsung Galaxy SII with an SD slot, holding up to an additional 64GB. Come to momma! Obviously I was nervous. It's a big step to change phone manufacturers, never-mind OS systems. I made the leap anyway.
The first thing I noticed was the lack of apps that are available for the iPhone and not for android. There are a lot of apps, and granted android is newer/playing catch-up, however, for someone coming from iOS, it's a huge elephant in the room.
One of my most favorite use-every-day apps was Camera Awesome by SmugMug. It's glaringly absent on android (though it's promised it's being worked on—I asked).
Putting what's missing aside, for me there are huge advances to owning the Galaxy SIII over the iPhone 4s.
- Screen size: 4.8" vs 3.5"
- Memory: expandable up to 64GB
- Customization: various launchers, themes, plus the ability to root if needed/wanted
- S Voice vs Siri: I do have some issues with S Voice. Sometimes it doesn't hear me or it lags. (I've found Siri responds quicker). However, I can say "Open Roku" and my Roku app opens. It has opened every app that I've tossed at it. Siri could not do that. *Note: I have not stayed up-to-date on any iOS updates, so this is based off my iPhone 4s and its abilities as of January, 2013.
- Google Now: quick view of important information, including weather, traffic, upcoming events, package shipped (LOVE this!), and others.
I love being directly connected to Google and having my photos auto-uploaded to Google+ for sharing/safe keeping. Sharing is more intuitive and makes life easier when I want to quickly get that baby photo up on Facebook or over to my mom and sisters.
I'm sure there are other advantages (I'm still learning!) but the above are what I find most important and really why I made the switch.
That's not to say I still don't get disappointed when I see an app mentioned that isn't available for android. Or how tired I am of the Disney commercials for their apps that are iOS only—explain that to your two-year-old.
My phone is a work in progress and there have been days where I've wanted to jump ship and head back to familiar territory, but I dig my heels in, do some Google and Lifehacker searches and remind myself...
...if you can't be with the one you love, honey, love the one you're with!

Player payments must be made if players are to be allowed participation
Participation in youth hockey is relatively expensive. The Irondale Youth Hockey Assocation strives to keep participant costs low through a variety of fundraising activities and the near exclusive use of volunteers to perform association activities. The Willard Fund is available to assist players and their families in a portion of the cost on a reimbursement basis if they are able to demonstrate need. Nevertheless the costs of participation must be paid.
Each team has a volunteer treasuer whose assignment includes collecting funds on a monthly basis from players, typically their parents or guardians. The association also has a volunteer treasurer who is responsible for collecting funds from the teams and paying association bills.
The team treasurers will set a due date for player payments. If payment from any player is late the treasurer will contact the responsible party, typically a parent or guardian, for payment. If the team treasurer is unable to collect within two weeks of the due date, the team treasurer will contact the assocation treasurer with a description of the situation. The association treasurer will then initiate contact with the responsible party. The association treasurer will explain the association policy for player payments and attempt to collect payment. The association treasurer will also try to learn about the financial situation of the participant.
If the assocation treasurer is unable to collect within one month of the due date, the treasurer and the rest of the IYHA Board Executive Committee will evaluate the situation, decide if other financial aid can be applied and decide if the player is allowed to continue participation.
If the player's payments are brought up to date, the IYHA Board Executive Committee may allow continued participation.

Post subject: Wholegrains in London?
Hi everyone, I hope that some of you past and present Londoners might be able to help me out. You see, I moved here a couple of months ago and I've pretty much figured out my food haunts with one glaring problem... I cannot find a shop that sells wholegrains. The "health food" stores here seem to only sell packaged vitamins/protein shakes etc. and their only grains and seeds are in pre-packaged bags. In Australia I shopped at a lovely store that sold all sorts of exotic grains and seeds in big tubs which I just scooped into a bag and away I went. For some reason I cannot find a similar type of store here. I'm sure that London must have one, I can find absolutely everything else I need. Any suggestions would be more than welcome!

Welcome to London (if I'm qualified to say that from across the pond... I still can't bring myself to change my profile)! What part of town are you in? If you let me know, I'll be able to help.

I'm sure you have been there already - but I thought perhaps Wholefoods ? (or is it just dried fruits, rice and nuts they have in the cellar in those see-through and help yourself-tubes?)

Thanks for your help. I vaguely remembered someone saying that there was a wholefoods in London and wrote it off as an urban food myth and forgot all about it. Thank you for pointing that out, Swan I will google it immediately. To be honest I am a bit hopeless when it comes to exploring, I'm ashamed to say I looked up from my book out the bus window the other day and realised there was Buckingham Palace!
Thank you Rachel, I am in student housing close to Kings Cross and Angel Islington but I can get anywhere central quite easily. Your insider knowledge would be much appreciated
All of my housemates are new to london and only a few of them cook so I am without advice on this sort of thing. Are there any markets that you would recommend? I am planning to go to Borough Market this weekend but if you have any tips, I am all ears!
Judy, yes I am doing a MA here at the (rather quaintly named) School of Oriental and African Studies.

Whole Foods in London is definitely not an urban myth! It's in Kensington High Street (about 5 minutes' walk from High St Ken tube and on the 9 and 10 bus routes) and, although I dislike its gigantism, which feels more out of place in the UK than it does in the US, it definitely has what you're looking for. Fresh & Wild (which was unfortunately taken over by Whole Foods recently) is also worth a look - there are shops all over town - and so is Planet Organic (there's a branch in Torrington Place, at the Tottenham Court Road end).
If you're at SOAS, you probably already know about Alara Wholefoods in Marchmont Street - I'm afraid everything there is prepackaged but they do have a good selection. And Exmouth Market (off of Rosebery Avenue) is worth checking out on a Friday or Saturday; I seem to remember there is (or at least, there was) a grains-and-seeds stall. Don't remember anything at Borough Market but don't let that stop you going, it's gourmand paradise...
All right, I'm going to stop before I get too nostalgic!

Thank you very much Rachel, I went to the Fresh and Wild at Camden today and it had a pretty good selection of seeds and grains (pre-packaged but it doesn't really matter that much) splashed out on a few interesting looking items- will have to take a look at the one on Kensington High St as well because it sounds much bigger.
I will definitely have to try the market near Rosebery ave. It is right around the corner from me and I didn't know about the wholegrain shop on Marchmont St. which is a bit embarrassing as I walk past that street every day to get to school (I did say I was hopeless at exploring). So much to try!

People v. Klapper, — N.Y.S.2d —, 2010 WL 1704796 (N.Y.City Crim.Ct., April 28, 2010)
Let's hope that's an overstatement.
A recent case from a criminal court in New York dealt with whether an employer violated the state's law prohibiting unauthorized use of a computer (Penal Law 156.05). Though the court probably came to the right decision in dismissing the case, it said some puzzling things along the way about internet privacy.
The defendant-boss was alleged to have installed keylogging software on his employee's work-issued computer. Through those means he acquired the password for the employee's "personal" email account, and copied some messages from that account.
The court dismissed the case, finding that the prosecution had not alleged that defendant, the computer owner, had notice of any limited access to the computer or the email account. (After all, it was the employer's computer.) The allegations further failed to allege that the employee had installed a security device to prevent unauthorized access or use.
That last part is a bit puzzling (wouldn't the password protection on the "personal" email account satisfy that point?). But the real puzzling part of the opinion is how the court essentially destroyed the idea that there's any hope for an expectation of privacy in internet communications.
Here's the first paragraph of the opinion:
In this day of wide dissemination of thoughts and messages through transmissions which are vulnerable to interception and readable by unintended parties, armed with software, spyware, viruses and cookies spreading capacity; the concept of internet privacy is a fallacy upon which no one should rely.
Apart from grossly overstating the death of a reasonable expectation of privacy in internet communications, the pronouncement was not needed to dispose of the case. The matter only dealt tangentially with whether the victim had any privacy rights violated. The real analysis was on whether the defendant had notice that access to his employee's email account was unauthorized.
Though the court was correct on focusing its analysis on that point, i.e., whether the access was authorized, the more general obituary of internet privacy would seem to elminate the need for that proper analysis.
If there's no internet privacy, why should we even bother to ask ourselves whether access to an account is authorized? If the concept of internet privacy is a "fallacy," as the court declared, aren't all our communications open for inspection and review by anyone?

As noted on the CSAIL website: The Simons Foundation has announced that Professor Piotr Indyk has been selected as a Simons Investigator. Indyk is one of 13 mathematicians, theoretical physicists and computer scientists named as 2013 Simons Investigators and one of two professors at MIT selected for the honor.
Simons Investigators receive $100,000 annually to support their research. The support is for an initial period of five years, with the possibility of renewal for an additional five years. The goal of the program is to provide a stable base of support for outstanding scientists in their most productive years, enabling them to undertake long-term study of fundamental questions.
Indyk is noted for his work on efficient approximate algorithms for high-dimensional geometric problems. This includes the nearest neighbor search, where given a data point, the goal is to find points highly similar to it, without scanning the whole data set. To address this problem he co-developed the technique of Locality Sensitive Hashing, which proved to be influential in many applications, ranging from data mining to computer vision.
Indyk has also made significant contributions to sub-linear algorithms for massive data problems. In particular, he has developed several approximate algorithms for massive data streams that use very limited space. Recently, he has co-developed new algorithms for the sparse Fourier transform, which compute the Fourier transform of signals with sparse spectra faster than the FFT algorithm.
Indyk is a member of the Theory of Computation Group at CSAIL, the MIT Center for Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing (Wireless@MIT) and bigdata@CSAIL.

Hello everyone!
I'm new to java and I got a test today and kind of failed to make it, I was hoping that someone could explain it to me because I still don't get how to use Generic collections....
this is what I got and we had to make the proper classes to get this output:
Room 11 has H. DS as it's teacher
Felix De Vliegher follows basis
Koen Vanhoutte follows java
Serge Vereecke follows java
Freddy Himpe follows .net
Room 11 has H. DS as it's teacher
There are 4 cursisten
Felix De Vliegher follows C++
Serge Vereecke follows java
Freddy Himpe follows .net
Alexandra Blondeel follows java
public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { Traject traject1 = new Traject ("C++"); Traject traject2 = new Traject ("java"); Traject traject3 = new Traject (".net"); Traject traject4 = new Traject ("basis"); Cursist cursist1 = new Cursist ("Felix", "De Vliegher", traject4); Cursist cursist2 = new Cursist ("Koen", "Vanhoutte", traject2); Cursist cursist3 = new Cursist ("Serge", "Vereecke", traject2); Cursist cursist4 = new Cursist ("Freddy", "Himpe", traject3); Instructeur instructeur = new Instructeur("H.","DS"); Room room = new Room(11,instructeur); room.cursistAdd(cursist1); room.cursistAdd(cursist2); room.cursistAdd(cursist3); room.cursistAdd(cursist4); System.out.println(lokaal); cursist1.setTraject(traject1); Cursist cursist5 = new Cursist("Alexandra","Blondeel", traject2); lokaal.cursistToevoegen(cursist5); lokaal.cursistVerwijderen(cursist2); System.out.println(lokaal); } }
what I tried to make is this:
make 4 new classes(Traject, Room, Instructeur, cursist)
I have no idea how to fill these classes.... My problem is the fact that I don't know the syntax and don't know how to use generics if someone could explain this to me it would be great!!!
Thank you

Union Pacific: Others responsible for fatal crash
If lawsuits stemming from last year's train collision that killed four veterans on a parade float in Texas make it to trial, jurors should be able to consider whether actions by parade organizers and the hosting city contributed to the crash, a Union Pacific spokeswoman said Monday.
The company is asking that the City of Midland, Midland County and the parade organizer be designated as responsible third parties because they failed to exercise "ordinary care" in their actions relating to the Nov. 15 parade. Such a designation would allow the company to avoid being held solely responsible.
"Union Pacific does not seek to recover money from them," company spokeswoman Raquel Espinoza-Williams said. "We just want the jury in this to fully consider all of the entities whose actions may have contributed to the cause of the accident."
The veterans were riding on a flatbed truck that was hit by a train traveling 62 mph. The truck was the second float in a parade that was part of a weekend of hunting and shopping for veterans wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq and their wives.
Lawsuits filed in Dallas and Midland claim Union Pacific was negligent on several fronts, including failing to provide proper warning at the crossing where the accident occurred.
But in court motions filed earlier this month, the company argues that the city, county and parade organizer are responsible for the collision. It contends that none of the listed entities informed the railroad the parade would take place or sought to take steps to coordinate their plans with the company.
The documents also cite the organizer, Show of Support-Hunt for Heroes, for failing to obtain a parade permit and the city for failing to enforce its parade ordinance.
A phone message requesting comment from the parade's organizer wasn't returned Monday.
A spokeswoman for the city said she couldn't comment on pending litigation. But earlier this month, the Midland City Council gave final approval to an ordinance making detailed changes to how parades are permitted. Under the new ordinance, which takes effect March 1, any parade that crosses railroad tracks must receive approval from the council.
Kevin Glasheen, one of the attorneys representing the plaintiffs in the Midland lawsuit, said Union Pacific's action was anticipated.
"For the railroad, it's a way to shift responsibly to other parties," Glasheen said.
In preliminary statements after the accident, National Transportation Safety Board officials said the crossing's warning system was activated 20 seconds before the collision in accordance with federal regulations and that the guardrail began to descend seven seconds later.
Investigators have said the float began crossing the tracks even though warning bells were sounding and the crossing lights were flashing.
Midland County District Attorney Teresa Clingman announced Jan. 9 that a grand jury had declined to indict the driver, Dale Andrew Hayden.
The veterans killed in the collision were Marine Chief Warrant Officer 3 Gary Stouffer, 37; Army Sgt. Maj. Lawrence Boivin, 47; Army Sgt. Joshua Michael, 34; and Army Sgt. Maj. William Lubbers, 43.
The accident remains under investigation by the NTSB.

Angela Tagoch is an innovative fashion designer whose aim is to inspire women to look and feel good about themselves. She specializes on flattering the female figure and choosing different color variations that are best suited to different kinds of skin tones. Her designs are artistically made and carefully thought through as one of her objectives is to create pieces that could not just be worn once but are also worth keeping in every woman's closet and be used for another occasions.
The inspiration of her collections are from the idea that flatters different body types and enhances skin tones by designing different shapes with special silhouettes and special colors that match all types of women.
"I do believe that all women are beautiful in their own ways. When a woman begins to appreciate herself and feels confident about her looks, body shape and wears the dresses that fit her best so then that's the start of her appreciating her own beauty and also be noticed by the people around her."
"It's very important for us women to be appreciated and be accepted for who we really are regardless of our skin colour, body shape or profession. Being classy and stylish is something that could come out naturally from a person or could also be learned in time. My dream is to share timeless fashion, confidence and elegance with my fellow fabulous women."
On October 4 this year we are launching Angela Tagoch presented by Paris Frivole, the leading Artistic and Fashion Event Organizer in Paris and with special participation of Une Fleur en Liberté, haute couture florist. This event is in partnership with Racing and Emotion and Effigie Photographie and promoted in the USA by V8 Productions.
It is a fashion show featuring Angela Tagoch collection called Boudoir Haute Couture. The collection will be an homage to The Roaring Twenties set in the heart of La Belle Epoque. It will be an evening to enjoy and remember for sure. Well known personalities from Paris, the press & media, fashion aristocrats, boutique owners, artistic and fashion interested people have been invited. It's a private fashion show with at least 400 people expected to be in attendance.
It is going to be held on October 04, 2013 at 9:30 (21:30) pm, the venue is at Elysees Lounge, Champs Elysees Paris. Attire is strictly black tie. For more information and reservations go to Angela Tagoch official site or like her on Facebook.

Bubbles in space
Foam plays an important part in our lives and understanding the life cycle of foam bubbles can improve its many daily uses. ESA's educational foam experience package now reveals the hidden life of foam.
But what is foam?
It is a mixture of a gas and a liquid, and there are many different types around us. From food foams and detergent foams to the bubbly fun of foam baths, we cannot escape some kind of foam every day.
Scientists say that surface tension, due to cohesive forces between liquid molecules at the surface, is the key to unlocking the behaviour of foams.
Foams are far from being completely understood and scientists are running experiments on the International Space Station to learn more about them.
The weightlessness of space is perfect for studying how foam is formed, how it evolves and how if eventually collapses back to liquid.
On Earth, gravity concentrates a liquid at the bottom of a container while leaving the gas on top. The very thin liquid films of bubble walls become even thinner and increasingly fragile as bubbles return to their liquid state.
Eliminating the effect of gravity keeps bubbles alive for longer and allows us to study them more intensively.
A lesson on foams in space and on the ground
In 2009, ESA astronaut Frank De Winne performed the FOAM-S experiment on foam evolution on the International Space Station.
At the same time, an educational package aimed at lower secondary school pupils was developed using the images taken by Frank. This package is now available to European teachers.
The lesson follows the '5E' method: engaging, exploring, explaining, elaborating and evaluating.
The objectives of the lesson are:
- to acquire the idea that gravity strongly influences natural phenomena;
- to acquire the idea that different states of matter can mix. Mixtures of liquid and gas have peculiar properties;
- to learn how to make measurements and comparisons;
- to acquire the idea that nature evolves to states of lower energy;
- to acquire the idea of transfer of energy.
The lesson (in English) and pictures are freely downloadable at ESA's website; see the links on the right bar.

Online Law Schools / Re: Law School to Offer Hybrid Online JD« on: December 23, 2013, 02:20:13 AM »
I don't see how. Say you have a lecture hall with room for 100 students, conservatively. Add a computer or even two, a webcam to cover the goings-on of the lecturer, and a set of speakers powerful enough to be heard throughout the room, and you now have a lecture hall with room for enough students as the web connection can handle. Literally thousands, all paying essentially the same price students are paying now. Because if they're in law school at all, numbers and cost-benefit are not their strong suit anyway. If they were, they wouldn't be cutting their own throats paying what they do to go to law school and have such poor career prospects.

Texas UFO Sighting 15th October 2010 solved?
Texas UFO Sighting 15th October 2010 is solved, -I am 99,9% sure it was night skydivers with magnesium and meteor flares. First NBC´s "Texas UFO Sighting", then another filmed from a baseball field "UFOs at El Paso, Texas", then another one "UFOs Entering the Atmosphere El Paso" (also said to be similar to the New York UFO sighting) and then this one "UFO's sighting in El Paso, Texas". All four videos are filmed on october 15th…
Beyond Top Secret
Smoking Gun (2001)
Okay, very interesting, but then I Googled "night skydiving", I realized skydiving at night with magnesium flares and so-called meteor flares, is a sport performed quite often. Freeflying and tracking with hot flares looks awesome from the ground, and they create patterns in the sky that easily can trick your mind. Skydivers known as the Golden Knights was in El Paso, Texas october 15th, 2010 (reported in El Paso Times October 16th 2010), the same day as all the videos above was filmed. After seeing guys freeflying head down with flares and the Burning Sky skydivers with flares too, as seen in the Temple Night Jump 2009 (Burning Man 2009) video, I am convinced, that all the El Paso UFO videos on this page, can be observations of these "burning guys" in the sky, but I will let you decide…

Laboratory of Plankton and Shellfish toxicity
At the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, planktonology research has a long tradition, dating since the very beginnings of the Institute activities. Working in the lab combines research in ecology and phytoplankton and zooplankton taxology, and researching primary production processes. Taxonomy research is mostly focused on microzooplankton, mezozooplankton and microphytoplankton, while in the ecological research most of the attention is on the research of phytoplankton and zooplankton community changes created under the influence of anthropogenic activities and climate changes. In this research of great help is long-term data (phytoplankton, zooplankton, primary production, chlorophyll / a /), which represent a special value of this laboratory and the Institute itself.
A special activity of this Laboratory is in fundamental research of toxic phytoplankton, from which emerged an applied research in testing of shellfish toxicity.
Based on scientific references of associate laboratories, as the international intercalibration in the area of toxic phytoplankton and analysis of phycotoxins, the Laboratory in 2008. received the ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, and at the same time, being the only Croatian laboratory with accreditation in this area, the Laboratory is in the process of nomination for the National Reference Laboratory.

Heirloom Tomato and Mango Lassi with Ground Sumac Recipe on Food52
Author Notes
Well just when I thought I was done with my recipes for this week, I had one lone gorilla orange blossom tomato left and a mango that needed to be used up as well. I had bought ground sumac a few weeks ago (at a mideastern grocery) without much thought to using it for summer drinks, but then this little experiment brought these ingredients together. The ground sumac offers a savory, lemony flavor to this recipe which delivers a very rich, creamy lassi, pretty darn healthy, too. Sumac comes from the cashew family, so if you have nut allergies take precautions. – Sagegreen —Sagegreen
Test Kitchen Notes
The lassi is deeply underappreciated, don't you think? Cooling and substantive, it responds to your thirst with tang and candor. Here, Sagegreen makes a lassi (the second lassi submission for the tomato theme – one more and we'd have had a trend, friends) that's expansively flavored, with not just mango but tomato, too. With not merely cardamom and honey but a sprinkling of sumac (if you can't find it, just double the lemon zest). The tomato has a way of sharpening up the mango with gutsy contrast. Serve this extraordinary treat (well-chilled!) to guests and make them guess the secret ingredients. – A&M —The Editors
1 cup
thick Greek or Turkish yogurt, chilled
1/2 cup
chopped heirloom tomato that is sweet and juicy (Gorilla Orange Blossom or Valencia, for example)
1/2 cup
cubed fresh mango
1/8 teaspoon
ground cardamon
1/2 teaspoon
ground sumac (see photo) or 1/8 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon
zest of fresh lemon
1 1/2 tablespoons
acacia honey (or other type of your choice) to taste
ice cubes, crushed up
sprinkle of sumac for garnish
spearmint leaf (or other herb) for garnish
- Combine all the non-garnish ingredients in a blender and process. Chill, if desired.
- Garnish with sumac sprinkles and a fresh herb sprig.

Critical Thinking and Inquiry - Education Research
Education Research has long been concerned with definition and recognition of Critical Thinking, and with the pedagogical techniques that foster its development in students. More recent research into pedagogical strategies has re-cast discussion of critical thinking into a discussion of promoting "Inquiry-Based Learning."
Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational ObjectivesA classic study in educational research by Bloom and Krathwohl (Bloom et al., 1956 ) provides a very useful, commonly cited framework from which educators can promote the development of thinking skills. This framework associates six Educational Objectives (of increasing sophistication) with a set of skills or abilities that demonstrate each of the objectives:
- Knowledge
- arrange, define, duplicate, label, list, memorize, name, order, recognize, relate, recall, repeat, reproduce, state
- Comprehension
- classify, describe, discuss, explain, express, identify, indicate, locate, recognize, report, restate, review, select, translate, understand
- Application
- apply, choose, demonstrate, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, operate, practice, schedule, sketch, solve, use, write
- Analysis
- analyze, appraise, calculate, categorize, compare, contrast, criticize, differentiate, discriminate, distinguish, examine, experiment, question, test
- Synthesis
- arrange, assemble, collect, compose, construct, create, design, develop, formulate, manage, organize, plan, prepare, propose, set up, write
- Evaluation
- appraise, argue, assess, attach, choose, compare, defend, estimate, judge, predict, rate, core, select, support, value, evaluate
Fundamental Necessities for Scientific Inquiry
Inquiry and the National Science Education Standards: A Guide for Teaching and Learning (more info) , published by The National Academy Press, is a valuable resource for instructors who want to implement inquiry-based learning in their classes. Among other things, this book from the National Research Council lays out abilities that are necessary in order to do scientific inquiry and necessary understandings about what scientific inquiry actually is. (Excerpts from Tables 2-2 and 2-3.) Note that while these tables are labeled as applying to secondary school, they are obviously applicable to undergraduate education as well.
Abilities Necessary to Do Scientific Inquiry - Grades 9-12
- Identify questions and concepts that guide scientific investigations
- Design and Conduct scientific investigations
- Use technology and mathematics to improve investigations and communications
- Formulate and revise scientific explanations and models using logic and evidence
- Recognize and analyze alternative explanations and models
- Communicate and defend a scientific argument
Understandings About Scientific Inquiry - Grades 9-12
- Scientists usually inquire about how physical, living, or designed systems function.
- Scientists conduct investigations for a wide variety of reasons.
- Scientists rely on technology to enhance the gathering and manipulation of data.
- Mathematics is essential in scientific inquiry.
- Scientific explanations must adhere to criteria such as: a proposed explanation must be logically consistent; it must abide by the rules of evidence; it must be open to questions and possible modification; and it must be based on historical and current scientific knowledge.
- Results of scientific inquiry -- new knowledge and methods -- emerge from different types of investigations and public communication among scientists.

Like most press releases for painting shows, the latest from Mitchell-Innes & Nash has something to say about The State of Painting. While we'd assumed that realist painting is willfully ignorant of progress, it tells us, we now realize that painting is "just one of many ways to process an image." Is it?

It is our position that the elimination of tax deductions by those who itemize charitable donations as a solution to avoiding the fiscal cliff would be devastating to philanthropic organizations and to the millions who benefit. Charitable giving plays an important role in our society and enriches the lives of Americans in countless ways. According to Giving USA, 30 percent of Americans who itemized their deductions provided $170 billion, 79 percent of the money that individuals donated to nonprofit organizations.
It would appear this golden parachute-like solution to easing the national debt has some major holes. If people who itemize deductions reduce their giving by just 20 percent, it would mean a $34 billion drop in charitable giving – by far the largest decrease since the Great Depression. Ironically, 100 years ago, the federal government devised the charitable deduction to incentivize the wealthy to give at home while national funds were diverted to pay for World War I. Now, the government has taken on the responsibility of funding both; however, can and should it? Not to mention the collateral damage in the form of jobs lost in the nonprofit sector creating a rise in already high national unemployment. Contact your congressperson to preserve the itemized charitable deduction.

A copyright infringement suit was filed against crooner John Legend Tuesday in New Jersey District Court.
Anthony Stokes alleges that in 2004 he met Legend after a concert at the University of North Carolina. He says he gave Legend a demo tape of his track "Where Are You Now?" with the hopes the Grammy-winner would check it out. He was then shocked to hear Legend's 2006 track "Maxine's Interlude," which sounded remarkably similar, E! Online reports.
We can't really say where Legend's inspiration comes from - or where inspiration comes from, in general - but a quick listen of the tracks at the E! story reveals more than a couple similarities. Both Legend's "Maxine's Interlude" and Stoke's "Where Are You Now?" feature lilting piano, similar tonalities, and the main lyrical theme.
"My client was a college student at UNC and attended the school homecoming concert by John Legend," Stokes' attorney, Louis D. Tambaro, told E! News. "There was a meet and greet afterwards and my client, being a fan and aspiring songwriter himself, presented Mr. Legend with a demo of his original...copyrighted work."
The legal team seeks damages relating to the recording, and the performance of the song, as it "featured heavily" in Legend's 2008 live shows.

Classification of Psoriatic Arthritis
Just like psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis ranges from mild to severe. The number of joints affected will have a large impact on the particular treatment plan a rheumatologist will recommend, and the prognosis for an individual. Even a small number of inflamed joints, however, can have a profound impact on pain and function and factors into the treatment decisions.
Psoriatic arthritis of a mild form is sometimes referred to as oligoarticular, meaning it affects four or fewer joints in the body. Others may have a more severe polyarticular form (affecting four or more joints). All types of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are characterized by pain, swelling and stiffness in the joints.
Psoriatic arthritis can involve the peripheral joints (the joints of your arms and legs, including the elbows, wrists, hands and feet) or less commonly, the axial skeleton (primarily your spine, hips and shoulders).
Spondylitis is inflammation of the spinal column. It is present in some individuals with psoriatic arthritis and it commonly occurs with other forms of psoriatic arthritis. The main symptoms are inflammation with stiffness of the neck, lower back and sacroiliac joints. Spinal arthritis makes joint motion in these areas painful and difficult.
Enthesitis refers to inflammation of entheses, the site where ligaments or tendons insert into the bones. Common locations for enthesitis include the bottoms of the feet, the Achilles' tendons, and the places where ligaments attach to the ribs, spine, and pelvis. It is a distinctive feature of psoriatic arthritis and does not occur with other forms of arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. Enthesitis can make the tissues in the affected area become ropey (known as fibrosis) or solid (known as ossification or calcification).
Dactylitis, or "sausage digits," refers to inflammation/swelling of an entire finger or toe. It occurs due to inflammation of the small joints and enthesitis of the surrounding tendons. Dactylitis is another distinguishing indicator of psoriatic arthritis. Usually dactylitis involves a few fingers and/or toes, but not in a symmetric pattern (different toes and fingers are affected on different sides of the body).

All Reviews for Dell Technologies OpenManage Server Administrator
Sort by
IDRAC - for all those times when you don't want to be in the datacentreIf you have a Dell server, get the iDRAC enterprise licence and get the iDRAC plugged in. It's awesome. It has alerts, monitoring, status information, remote control and more. In short, it is exactly what you need for those on site admin tasks that you don't want to be onsite for (well, okay, you still need to go onsite for disk and network cable changes!)
What are the pros?Intuitive interface Easy to configure Really good for out of band management Has saved my skin a few times
What are the cons?Import/export/automation of configs could be easier
Great to get all the information you can about your Dell serverGood product, works well, never had an issue with installing or using it. Let's you know about the status of and in limited fashion manage you Dell hardware, as much as you could possible be remotely. Especially if you didn't pony up for an iDrac license this is a must have.
What are the pros?Good information about your Dell
What are the cons?Depends on the OS on a machine
Fantastic utility for seeing pretty much all the information you can think of regarding your local server in one place. It's got a great web GUI which is clear to read and understand, and can quickly show you any firmware or drivers which are out of date...shame it doesn't give you a download option so you can quickly update the firmware/drivers without then manually going to the Dell support website.
Tool works very well for providing array information, drive health, and system health altogether while tying into AD and using SSO. The last version I've used is 2003, so I look forward to seeing what newer versions have built upon that and improve. Only complaint is its quirkiness to setup.
If you haven't looked at this yet you should run and install it right now. OpenManage Essentials. Not sure why it hasn't been put up here yet but it lets you centrally monitor and even control your servers and essential network equipment. Way to go Dell....it's about time that you came up with something to compete with Director and Insight. It's a little lacking on the documentation and not really sure what the WMI is even looking. Seems like if you have OMSA installed your golden.

By Samantha Berkhead, '14
St. Bonaventure's Career and Professional Readiness Center (CPRC) and department of Alumni Services are working in conjunction to introduce the Alumni Internship Program.
The program originated out of a mutual desire to organize and formalize the professional connection between working alumni and current students seeking internships, according to Monica Mattioli, executive director of alumni operations.
"We wanted to tap into a resource that was always there," Mattioli said. "Our students need internships to graduate and get jobs and our alumni want to provide professional experiences."
Pamela Ferman, career counselor and employer relations coordinator of the CPRC, said she hopes the program will become another way for alumni to get involved with their alma mater.
"It's a great potential resource for students, especially those who need internship hours to graduate," she said. "It's also a great way for alumni to give back to their alma mater."
Senior marketing major Cody Clifford participated in the Alumni Internship Program's pilot program last summer, completing a sales and marketing internship at Nissan North America's Northeastern Regional Office in Somerset, N.J.
The CPRC and Alumni Services reached out to a targeted group of alumni, and in a short time Gary Frigo, '81, regional vice president of the Northeastern Regional Office, responded with an opportunity. Students were notified of the internship through email and encouraged to apply through the CPRC, which was where Clifford discovered the internship.
"When my company announced that our Northeast Regional Office would have a summer intern, I immediately thought of St. Bonaventure," Frigo said. "I thought it would be an excellent opportunity for a student who was interested in marketing and sales to have a month or two 'in the real world' and to experience the very competitive automobile industry. I know I would have loved an opportunity like that when I was at Bona's."
Clifford said his experience with Nissan gave him an opportunity to strengthen his understanding of how marketing works outside the classroom.
"It was really cool to work with an alum and see his career path post-Bona's," Clifford said. "I also gained an understanding of how complex the automobile industry is. I got to do things like examine service trends and work with customer retention and marketing infractions. I also got a lot of chances to network and meet other professionals in the field. I'm very thankful for the opportunity."
Frigo praised Clifford's work ethic and drive that he observed during his time with Nissan.
"Cody is very sharp, very intelligent, very driven to succeed and most of all very likable," Frigo said. "Our entire office grew to really like him and he helped many of the managers on some key marketing tasks. It was a great experience for Nissan and for Cody."
Ferman said the CPRC is trying to expand the Alumni Internship Program by going to various alumni events and gatherings, including a holiday break event in the Rochester, N.Y. area, and through outreach via email and LinkedIn. Many alumni have come forward with opportunities, as well.
"We're trying to reach out to alums who are in key positions and have the clout to be able to offer these internships that will be specifically targeted toward Bonaventure students," Ferman said.
Mattioli expressed the necessity of a thriving and involved alumni community for a program like this to succeed. "We have around 27,000 active alumni all around the world," she said. "On the university website's front page, we say that 95 percent of graduates are employed or in graduate school within six months of graduation. It is our responsibility to come through on the brand promise. That said, our alumni love students and will find any way to interact with them. They're completely interested in showing them what it means to be part of the Bonnie culture. That's why we think the Alumni Internship Program will ultimately be a success."
For more information about the Alumni Internship Program, contact Pamela Ferman, Career Counselor and Employer Relations Coordinator, at email@example.com.

You know to store food, water and batteries for an impending storm, but it's your smartphone and computer that can become important when preparing for the next storm -- for reasons you might not think.
Jean Bail, head of the Disaster Management program at Philadelphia University, teaches first responders how to plan for the worst disasters – both natural and man-made. She says part of your strategy should include putting your computer and smartphone to work to digitize the most vital information in your house.
"We look at being able to scan or capture data from everything homeowners insurance to your social security card to your driver's license. Things that if they get damaged or lost, how are you going to access that information," Bail said.
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
Bail says it's a good idea to keep those digital copies on your smartphone for easy access to quickly and easily present them to recovery personnel. The information could even be used to help reunite you with a loved one.
"It also helps if you're separated from your children and you have pictures of them it makes the reunification process easier," she said. "If you have documentation about their birth certificate, your personal identification as a parent, it's easier to link parent and child together."
A household scanner, or a smartphone app that turns pictures you take into scanned documents, can be used to capture that information.
Having a first aid app installed on your mobile device can also come in handy. Bail suggests downloading the free first aid app from the Red Cross. It has videos and more explaining how to treat wounds should you get stranded.
"Under those high wind situations, emergency responders aren't going to be able to get to you…until the winds drop down below 45 m.p.h. So you need to be able to do self-care," she said.
We know water is not a computer's friend, so it's vital, when preparing for the next disaster, to make backups of your computer hard drive and other digital information. That information increasingly includes our music libraries, movie collection, work projects and priceless family photos and video.
"Lots of copies keeps stuff safe -- so you just want to keep things safe and the more copies you have, the safer it is," says Drexel University professor and archivist Lori Richards.
She says consider making a backup to an internet-based cloud service so your data isn't all in one place and can't be wiped out by one disaster.
"What it is that you're going to lose if you don't do this? In some cases, what you're going to lose is the only picture of your grandmother that you ever had. How important is that to you," she asks.
As for security, Richards says whether you're saving your information on your smartphone, computer or the cloud -- the password is paramount.
"The number of people that use the word 'password' for their password is crazy," she said. "So you need to think about something that's a little more difficult for people to get into."
Powering your mobile devices when the electricity is non-existent is troublesome, but there are options to keep your devices juiced. There are a number of portable chargers including a hand-crank charger from the Red Cross that will manually charge your phone. It also doubles as a flashlight.
Or you can go the solar route. Solar chargers, like the ones sold by Gomatic, can power multiple devices in sunlight or under indoor lights in your home or an evacuation shelter.

GamePro provides five helpful tips to save you from video game lag.
Tired of pulling a trigger in Call of Duty: World at War, then watching your gun fire five seconds later? Sick of adrenaline-fueled Halo 3 matches playing out like slide-shows? Well, the GamePro editors have five secret tips to help you reduce or eliminate lag, and make online gaming more stable and enjoyable.
Without further ado, here are five proven ways to fix a laggy game experience!
1. Shut down all PC downloads and sharing apps.
File-sharing programs such as BitTorrent are infamous for eating up bandwidth, and will guarantee you a choppy online gaming experience on your game system. Big downloads, such as Apple Store TV shows or movies, will also slow down your online game. If you're playing online, try to limit any PC internet use beyond simple web browsing or e-mail.
2. Cable internet beats DSL every single time.
There's a reason a DSL connection costs less than cable internet: it's slower and less stable. In fact, some industry groups have recommended stripping DSL of its "broadband" label because it can only handle a fraction of the speed of a cable connection. DSL is fine for speedy web browsing, but cable reigns supreme for online gaming. Cable internet is also relatively inexpensive if you're already a cable TV subscriber - ask your provider for package deals.
3. With Wi-Fi, placement is everything.
Your wireless Wi-Fi router has a limited range, and consoles can be pretty picky about that signal (especially if the Wi-Fi has to go through a wall). Try to place your console close to your router to get the best results. If you're still seeing a strong signal, yet experiencing lag, try changing your game system's location in the room, or flipping it horizontally or vertically.
4. Hardwire it!
Though wireless Wi-Fi is more convenient, a hardwired Ethernet connection is unbeatable for online gaming - it's faster and more reliable. The downside: an ugly cable that leads from your internet router to your game system. If your cable or DSL jack is located close to your entertainment system, you'll definitely want to use an Ethernet cable for maximum performance. Even if the internet jack is located far away, you may consider running the Ethernet cable under the carpet, along a wall, or under floorboards to conceal it.
5. Choose top-quality internet hardware.
Don't expect top-level gaming performance from that cheap internet router you bought at CostCo. Instead, spend a little more and get a quality router from a trusted manufacturer such as Linksys or DLink. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo also have preferred hardware that is guaranteed to function perfectly on their systems - that information is available on their websites.

It's rare to meet a person who is devoted to his profession as resolutely as Mikhail Trosman was dedicated to teaching chess. GM Irina Krush, who began taking lessons with Mikhail when she was nine years old and trained with him until she was nearly an IM, recalls that "Mikhail was not just looking at coaching as a job but as a vocation."
While Irina and some of Mikhail's other students across the globe continue to play chess professionally, those who've pursued other fields also realize the tremendous positive impact that Mikhail had on their development. Mikhail was interested in his students' progress and proud of their achievements beyond the chess arena, providing them with life lessons and showing through his own example, what it is to be a dedicated, professional, responsible and caring person.
The Trosman Memorial Simul was established as a way to celebrate this man and provide inspiration to children and teens to follow their interests in chess and beyond.
On Sunday, December 8th, the Marks JCH of Bensonhurst in Brooklyn, New York hosted the 2nd Annual Trosman Memorial Chess Simultaneous Exhibition, paving the ground for the event to become an annual tradition. While the inaugural simul last year took place with 20 participants on the eve of Hurricane Sandy, this year's event drew 30 players and coincided with the first snow day in New York City. Irina Krush was joined by the author to play against the participants and both managed to hold their own against the challengers, who included Mikhail's grandson Mark Trosman. While playing, participants solved problems that arose on the board and listened to advice on their game and challenges in chess and other facets of life.
This year's event marked Irina's first appearance as a Grandmaster, and the" J" presented her with a hand-made artwork portraying the Brooklyn Bridge as a symbol of her Brooklyn origins. Irina was very touched and recalled her weekly childhood travels over the Brooklyn Bridge to the weekend chess tournaments at the Marshall Chess Club.
Irina provided the participants with context on what it meant for her to be a GM - the first US female player to earn the GM title and one of fewer than 50 women in the world who are GMs. After her first norm came at the Mayor's Cup in NYC more than 10 years ago, she continued to persevere and work on her chess and this year she earned two more GM norms and the GM title. Irina's goal is to continue to improve her chess and become a stronger GM while playing for more prestigious titles to add to her impressive and growing collection. Her advice to participants was to pursue their interest in chess by working hard and seeking the help of strong mentors as she had with Mikhail Trosman.
Many thanks to Alex Budnitsky, the Marks JCH Executive Director and Julia German, Marks JCH Program Coordinator, for hosting the event and to all the players and families who participated in the Trosman Memorial Chess Simultaneous Exhibition for making it happen.

Years ago "Mr. Smith" took a trip to Washington, D.C. and made quite an impact. Next month, the Club Industry East conference and trade show will make its first appearance in the nation's capital.
From June 26 to June 29, this year's show is expected to draw upward of 3,000 fitness professionals, predominantly from the East Coast, but also representing the rest of the U.S. and foreign nations. Among the attendees will be members of Mid-Atlantic Club Management Association (MACMA), a non-profit regional trade association representing more than 120 clubs and over 800 members throughout the Mid-Atlantic States.
"Making Club Industry East this year's official event gives our members the best of both worlds," said MACMA Executive Director Tina Carroll. "We're delighted to provide them the enhanced opportunity to see more new products and enjoy the broad scope of educational sessions offered without leaving their home area."
Zari Stahl, group show director for PRIMEDIA Business Exhibitions, feels that the joint arrangement will benefit the industry as a whole. "Holding Club Industry East in association with MACMA gives operators and suppliers alike the ability to better concentrate their time and resources this spring," she noted. "The show is always a major attraction: the alliance this year will make it an even more significant event."
And the event will be significant indeed, as attendees will have nearly 100 presentations by leading authorities to choose from, with over 75 percent of them new to the Club Industry East show.
The show kicks off on Wednesday the 26th with a slate of educational seminars. But it won't be all work and no play at the show. After a day of education, stick around the hall for the Opening Night Exhibit Hall Welcome Reception from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and begin your show experience with an exciting evening of food, drink and music, while meeting and networking with operators and exhibitors. But that's not all the excitement planned away from the show floor. After the show on Thursday, June 27, board a luxury coach for a wonderful evening driving tour with a tuxedoed waiter offering gourmet chocolates, champagne and sparkling water. You'll see such spectacular sites as the U.S. Capitol, White House, Smithsonian Mall, Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial. The optional tour is $47 per person (for details, call Robin Leven at 800-541-7706).
Highlighting the education sessions will be a Keynote Address given by Lisa E. Oliphant, executive director, President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. The Keynote, entitled "Making A Difference: How Fitness Facilities Can Reach Out to Their Communities" will take place on the second day of the sessions (June 27) from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Oliphant's presentation at Club Industry East is part of her ongoing mission to promote efforts aimed at achieving important national fitness-related goals through cooperative efforts with the public, private and voluntary sectors. Learn how your club can do more to build community fitness.
When taking a break from the numerous educational seminars, attendees can see some of the newest products and services with displays by more than 100 top industry suppliers at the Washington (D.C.) Convention Center. While walking the floor, be sure to stop by the Club Studio and watch or participate in 45-minute demonstrations of the latest cutting-edge group fitness activities and learn how these programs build attendance for clubs.
But, if you really want to try out the latest classes and equipment take part in the Early Morning Aerobics on Thursday, June 27 from 7:00 to 7:45 a.m., at the Washington Hyatt hotel. On the following two days you can workout at the Early Morning Workouts from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. in the Exhibit Hall and put the equipment to the ultimate test-your own workout. Free Continental breakfast will be available to help you refuel for a day of education and walking the show floor.
If you'd rather watch athletes than work out like one be sure to catch the Regional Special Olympics Bench Tournament presented by Developmental Fitness Co. and Special Olympics on Saturday, June 29. At this event you can see Special Olympian powerlifters in action, affiliated with fitness facilities from the entire Mid-Atlantic region. Bench press events begin before show hours and will continue all day.
No matter how far or near attendees and exhibitors travel, there will be plenty of things to see and do both inside the show and around the nation's Capital.

Noble Energy planning 20-story office tower
Developers are planning a 20-story office tower for Noble Energy, a project that will create a corporate campus spanning nearly 1 million square feet for the Houston-based independent energy firm.
The 456,000-square-foot building, which will have an eight-story parking garage and a "town hall" for large employee gatherings, will be developed at the southwest corner of Texas 249 and Louetta. The building will go up next to twin 10-story buildings Noble leased last year and plans to move into in May.
With the new project, Noble joins other large energy firms that have committed to major campus developments across the Houston area.
Millions of square feet of new buildings are planned or under way for firms such as Exxon Mobil Corp., Anadarko Petroleum Corp., Southwestern Energy and Phillips 66. The new projects are largely concentrated in and around The Woodlands and west Houston.
Trammell Crow Co., which is developing the Noble project with Principal Real Estate Investors, plans to break ground in late summer.
The developers are seeking a LEED Silver rating from the U.S. Green Building Council. Under the group's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program, buildings earn various designations for energy efficiency. Kirksey Architects is designing the building.
The future Noble Energy headquarters will comprise 954,000 square feet of space in two main structures, connected by a skybridge, that will be known as Noble Energy Center One and Two. Construction is expected to be complete in 2015.
The first structure, two 10-story buildings connected by a glass atrium, was purchased by Trammell Crow in May 2011. Noble signed a lease for the 498,000 square feet of space about eight months later. The property is at 20555 Texas 249, next to The Vintage, a multiuse development with homes, offices, shops and medical facilities in the northwest part of town.
Noble had the first right to occupy a future building on land the developer acquired as part of its building purchase. The property was purchased from Hewlett Packard Corp.
Noble will lease the new building, as well.
"This expansion is part of a long-term plan designed to enhance Noble Energy's performance. Our new headquarters campus will accommodate our continued and exciting growth, while creating an environment that encourages creativity and teamwork," Chairman and CEO Charles Davidson said in a statement.
The company now has offices in the Greenspoint area.
Trammell Crow's Aaron Thielhorn would not reveal the project cost or other terms of the deal but said the lease with Noble will run more than 10 years. James Arket & Co. represented Noble Energy in the transaction.

^I have not tried the regular 1/8" Techflex. The proprietary Milab connectors on one end of the cable might be an issue there. I need to investigate this and quit talking about it.

CHICAGO – Liberation Investment Group, the second-largest shareholder of Bally Total Fitness which last month threatened to sue Bally over its pre-packaged Chapter 11 reorganization plan, has come up with an alternative reorganization plan.
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission released today, Liberation, along with fellow shareholders Harbinger Capital Partners, spelled out its plan in which the shareholders would get 10 percent of the reorganized equity and rights to participate in an offering for an additional 10 percent of the equity. Also, Harbinger will backstop the rights offering and own 80 percent of the reorganized equity. Bally's senior subordinated noteholders would receive $60 million in cash instead of reorganized equity.
In a letter to Bally, Andrew Glenn, an attorney representing Liberation and Harbinger, wrote that this new plan "undeniably is superior to the Bally plan" and incorporates many of the same terms as Bally's plan. The shareholders' plan will basically end the threat of litigation that "inevitably will result should the company continue to prosecute the Bally plan," Glenn wrote.
Bally, in a press release, said it is in discussions with the shareholders and will provide due diligence access to the shareholders, subject to the execution of confidentiality agreements. The shareholders have agreed to complete their due diligence and proposed documentation by July 20.
Bally's noteholders have until July 27 to vote for Bally's reorganization plan, for which holders of 63 percent of its senior notes and more than 80 percent of its senior subordinated notes have signed a restructuring support agreement.
After Bally first laid out its restructuring plan May 31, in which Bally's stock would extinguish and the company would become private (thus giving power to the noteholders and basically freezing out the shareholders), Glenn wrote a letter to Bally on behalf of Liberation, which strongly disagreed with Bally's proposal and said the plan was not in the best interests of the shareholders.

Author: Calle Sjoenell, Executive Creative Director, BBH New York
Over the last two weeks I have noticed an interesting phenomenon around people with iPads. Maybe it's because I haven't got one yet (I'm trying to refrain until my birthday) so I'm more aware of those who do have them already. Right now I can have more of an outsider's view on this new device.
That said, it's become apparent that I'm far from an outsider. Barely an opportunity goes by for someone with an ipad to share something with me. "Check this out". "Look at this". "Let me show you something". Users seem to want to show off new apps, cool new vids (and of course the device itself). I am very often drawn into the experience others are having around the iPad. We literally gather round, pull up chairs.
Unlike a laptop, it's super easy to 'turn and share'. Unlike the iPhone, it's genuinely shareable (the iPhone is unashamedly personal, even private). With the iPad you can gang around at least three, four people to see something together. It all feels very natural.
So I've been thinking, is this one of the true revolutions with the iPad? It's the first truly communal computer. Almost like sharing stories around the campfire.
If that's the case, how should that impact how we design content and applications for it?

Feminism Friday: Open Thread on gender dominance issues in sexuality, slurs and raunch culture
Where do you point a male feminist ally (whose alliance up until now has been based on largely unexamined egalitarian impulses, but who hasn't read any theory) to find good introductory analysis of gendered dominance in sexual behaviours, and how attitudes towards and about sexual behaviours play back into gender relations more widely? Some of […]
FAQ: Isn't "the Patriarchy" just some conspiracy theory that blames all men, even decent men, for women's woes?
Patriarchy: one of the most misunderstood critical-theory concepts ever, often wilfully misunderstood. Patriarchy is one form of social stratification via a power/dominance hierarchy – an ancient and ongoing social system based on traditions of elitism (a ranking of inferiorities) and its privileges. Societies can be (and usually are) patriarchal, oligarchal and plutocratic all at the same time, complicated by current and/or legacy features of sectarianism, imperialism and colonialism, so the gender hierarchy is only one source of social disparity. Because of the limited capacity of the word "patriarchy" to describe the full operation of intersecting oppressions, some now prefer to use the word "kyriarchy" instead, but it is not yet in common use.

There has been lots of controversy around what resolution The Order will run at on the PS4. We are here today to set all of that in place and put the facts in order. Yes the game has been confirmed by many news outlets that the game will run in 1080p, but many people are still confused on how, when the game has also been confirmed to run at a a display ratio of 1920x800. There are two explanations to explain why The Order is 1080p, versus 800p and I will use two examples to explain why. A simplistic example and a more in-depth explanation using facts about resolution and aspect ratios themselves. I will also use Forza 5 and Ryse as examples to help carry the points across.
In-Depth Explanation:
Ryse runs at a resolution of 1600x900 (which maintains an HDTV's aspect ratio of 1.78:1 - or 16:9). The Order: 1886 will be presented at 1920x800 (which is the CINEMATIC aspect ratio of 2.40:1). At this aspect ratio, you would need a screen resolution of 2592x1080 to avoid the black bars.
Simplistic Explanation:
The game renders an image of 1920x1080, just 280 horizontal lines are black. For comparisons sake, lets use Forza 5, a full 1080p game. Now if were to tape two black rectangles at the top and botton of our TV screens, you would now be seeing Forza 5 in 1920x800. The picture left displayed is still a 1080p image, the only difference is now only 800 horizontal lines of pixels are visible. Resolution is measured in pixel density, and The Order may have a display ratio of 1920x800, but keeps the same pixel density as a 1920x1080 resolution.
Furthermore, what The Order is doing, isn't much different than most Blu-Ray movies. When you watch a 1080p movie, nine out of ten times the movie is in widescreen. Which is the cinematic aspect ratio we talked about before. 2.40:1. The Order will be displaying the same as any 1080p widescreen Blu-Ray movie would.
It has also been stated by the developers, and more importantly the founder of ReadyAtDawn, that The Order was chosen to run this way to include 4xMSAA. Also quoted by Andrea Pessino, "4xMSAA which looks spectacular! x800 with AA looks MUCH better than x1080 without" and "x800 with 4xMSAA needs more bandwidth than x1080 would, so 1080 no MS would be cheaper." Also note Andrea confirmed that the game will run at a frame rate of 30fps.
