(RNN) – The iPhone 5 is here - well, it will be on Sept. 21.
Apple fanboys and girls, who are jumping up and down and squealing with delight about the unveiling of the new smartphone from Apple, can pre-order the iPhone 5 on Friday, Sept. 14.
The cost of the new iPhone will be the same as the iPhone 4S: $199 for a 16 gigabyte phone, $299 for a 34 gigabytes and $399 for a 64 gigabytes.
Phil Schiller, a marketing executive at Apple, debuted the new phone and its features at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco on Wednesday.
According to live blogs and tweets from the announcement, the phone is larger and the screen will measure 4".
The larger screen will make viewing a 16:9 aspect ratio - great for watching movies - easy to do on the new smartphone.
The iPhone 5 will be available to AT&T, Verizon and Sprint customers - leaving T-Mobile out in the cold.
As the rumors predicted, the connector is now smaller, but there will be accessories to connect the new iPhone to old accessories.
The leaked images about the new ear buds - which are now called EarPods - which are not included in the box with the new iPhone or iPods, but is included in the feature. Meaning, the EarPods will reach your home before the iPhone.
A new iPod Nano and iPod Touch also were revealed, also using the new connector plug.
The iPod Touch, which will now come in colors, is much thinner and has the 4" screen, has the retina display, an LED flash, and the battery life will allow for eight hours of video or 40 hours of music - perfect for entertaining the bored traveler - aka kids.
On the back of the iPod Touch, there will be a "loop" where a wrist band can be attached, again perfect for younger users.
Siri also will be available on the iPod Touch.
The new iPod Touch will cost $299 for 32 gigabytes and $399 for a 64 gigabytes.
The Nano again has a large display, and its design seems to be a throwback to the early versions of iPods, including the rainbow colors.
The icons for the iPod Nano are now circular, much different than the square icons familiar to Apple uses of the iPhone and iPad.
A 16 gigabyte iPod Nano will cost $149 - which is just $10 cheaper than a Kindle Fire.
The new iPod Nano and Touch will be available in October.
On the software side of things, a new operating system, iOS6, will run on both the new and old iPhones; the web browser Safari will be full-screen, and the new maps app will replace the Google maps app on previous iPhones.
The new map app has turn-by-turn directions and a print option.
Siri will open apps, and will now be able to post to Facebook (start a countdown to when a celebrity 'accidentally' posts something embarrassing).
Apple also will revamp iTunes, which will now be integrated with iCloud, the cloud storing service offered by Apple.
The new iTunes design will feature albums as large tiles, to which critics say is similar to Amazon's Kindle store.
Facebook "likes" will also be integrated into the iTunes stores as well.
Other possible announcements include a smaller iPad and new iPods.
However, the online Apple Store is still down, and will most likely be back up after the announcement.
The iPhone 5 is actually the sixth iPhone released - Apple released the iPhone 4S, an upgrade to the iPhone 4, in October 2011. That was the version of the phone that included the popular and often-spoofed voice recognition program Siri.
The last major debut of an Apple smartphone was the iPhone 4 on June 7, 2010.
Apple released its first iPhone on June 28, 2007, and many eager customers waited overnight to purchase the new smartphone - a trend that continued with each subsequent release of a newer version.
Initially, iPhone users had to use AT&T as a wireless service provider due to a deal Apple cut a deal with the company, but in 2011, Verizon announced that an agreement was reached with Apple and it would begin selling the iPhone 4.
CNN reports that a new iPhone 5 could boost the country's GDP, citing J.P. Morgan's observation that the new iPhone could give the economy a quarter to a half of a percentage point increase.
CNN reported that Apple sold 26 million iPhones last quarter.

After an eventful 2010 year that saw their founder kidnapped and killed in South Africa, 2011 has been a relatively quiet year for German tuning company, Gemballa .
The new brass over at Gemballa is determined to turn over a new leaf and investor, Steffen Korbach, is initiating a new chapter in the company's history by starting a new Gemballa racing team that hopes to begin competing in the 2012 motor racing season. With a new team in hand, Korbach wanted a car that can be competitive from the get-go and they seemed to have found it in a pair of McLaren MP4-12C GT3 models.
"We deliberately went for the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 for our motor sport commitment, because we think the car has enormous potential to be among the season's leaders," Korbach said.
Powered by the same 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine found on the production version, the MP4-12C GT3 comes with a de-tuned output of only 500 horsepower at a limited 7,500rpm. The engine is then mounted to the car's carbon fiber MonoCell chassis and tuned to racing specifications.
In addition to scoring a pair of MP4-12C GT3s, Korbach also tapped race vet, Sascha Bert, to serve as team manager with the names of prospective drivers scheduled to be announced soon.
UPDATE 12/27/12: The Gemballa Racing Team McLaren MP4-12C is now on sale for an "affordable" price of just €350,000, which is around $460,000 based on current exchange rates.

This cool design allows the wearer to discreetly pump fake blood through a tube hidden underneath the sleeve that keeps it oozing along the rib cage for a gross factor that boys will love. Leering skeleton face peeks out from beneath the black hood. Order a pair of black gloves and a sickle sold separately on our website to make this costume complete. This Halloween, death will be knocking on the doors of all of your neighbors...but all he wants is candy!

Maniac cancels summer tour with Foxy Shazam
"Dear friends, fans, and dwellers of East-Nowhere,
You have all been instrumental in supporting Maniac. In our own humble way, you have made us kings of the universe for the last 2 years. Unfortunately in this case, the money you have helped us raise can't keep us on the road, and we have to bow out of our summer tour slots with Foxy Shazam. Thanks for everything— you guys have been the ones supporting us— you can't support this one though, trust us. These dollar figures are pretty damn red, and it is beyond our methods to fund the next run, all things considered.
If you go to the show and we're not on it, go have a cigarette during the band in our spot, and then watch the hell out of Foxy for us— they are incredible friends and performers, and we are bummed not to be there every night, watching along, in awe.
With an unexpected free summer, Jake is going to return home to Sydney to finish a long-awaited new Numbers record, and we're going to return to original form— writing the remainder of Sons of Summer via gchat, as we began this cross-continental project a couple years back. To be honest, it seems counter-intuitive, but the challenge of a Pacific Ocean between us is inspiring. Post-summer, when next we record, we will give you all the best Maniac music to date.
much much love, and thanks again to all of you, and especially our dear friends Foxy Shazam—
My brain hasn't quite figured out how to respond to this yet, but my heart is aching.

The Decemberists being an honorable mention is laughable.
That's my top three albums too. Finally someone gives Ritter some credit.
I'm going to overturn this vote and say that Bahama's Barchords is the best album of the week. Nice try Stereogum.
Delta Spirit's album is coming out in March. Confirmation from the lead singer at a recent concert.
It was my understand that AC Newman of the New Pornographers was working on a solo album. But either way, I welcome both with open arms.
You missed The Decemberists on both lists. Lame….
Los Campesinos! actually did that in 2008.
"Siva" – Smashing Pumpkins
I can see Pitchfork having a hay-day with this release. It's discouraging to see that "professional music critics" will overlook at the progression in Sam Beam's sound. Sure, this album might be the most accessible album to date, but do not discredit it. In Kiss Each Other Clean, it seems, that Sam is getting more confident in his voice and one can see his voice shine in tracks like "Godless Brother". The term overproduced will be thrown a lot through various sites and blogs, but this album is stellar to say the least.

|Improving Linux Driver Installation
|API problem much worse than indicated
|2004-09-10 10:54:02
The unstable API provides far worse problems than (clearly) indicated in the article. One solution proposed was to include drivers in the tree earlier - that *DOES NOT* fix the problem!
Showing messages 1 through 4 of 4.
API problem much worse than indicated
2004-09-12 03:40:17 Dragonheart73 [View]
Dosn't the latest detonater-Driver original from nVidia follow a similar approach?
You have the Kernel-Sources to be present, but no more user action is required than calling a shell-skript. Then the driver is compiled and installed.
API problem much worse than indicated
2004-09-12 06:24:57 CharlesEllis [View]
Another solution to this situation is to be a bit more windows like...
For the more user-friendly distributions, instead of having 2.6.5 and 2.6.7 and 2.6.8, etc. They could release a new version of the distro for 2.6 (presumably this would be the last new version to the 2.6 tree), and then release another version of the distro for 2.8
I realize that this is not the best solution in the world, however it has been proven to work with the commercial OSes, and would help driver compatibility for those not willing/not knowledgeable enough to compile drivers specifically for a specific version of the kernel.
API problem much worse than indicated
2004-09-13 01:01:12 nmailhot [View]
Don't be silly. Do you think hardware devices are manufactured out of thin air ? There is a large window between hardware design and appearance where drivers can be written, vetted and included in the source kernel tree.
And the more innovative a device is, the more it is true (for stupid variants you have just to add a hardware PCI/USB id to the already-written driver).
In fact drivers have been written in the past for top-secret devices not yet aven announced, even full subsystems were included before for yet-to-be released standards. Kernel inclusion is only a problem for lazy vendors (and those won't maintain correctly their out-of-tree trash anyway)
API problem much worse than indicated
2004-09-14 13:51:11 CodifexMaximus [View]
At the risk of being flamed, I must say the following...
Microsoft has a great idea with their Interface Contract idea. They will create an interface (API) with certain methods and properties; then they will update the interface with new methods and properties WHILE RETAINING THE OLD INTERFACES.
I suppose some API's in Linux are using this model for backwards compatability but all are not. The idea has good and bad points: good are that old programs will keep running; bad are that api bloat will occur.
Choose yer poison.
Microsoft also had another good idea back in 1994: minidrivers. MS realised that alot of the monolithic driver code in Win3.1 was similar if not flat out identical. The only differences were the device specific portions. Therefore, MS implemented the stub (or whatever they call it) that contained the generic code for a device then the minidriver made by the device company completed a full device driver. Simple, easy, concise.
There may be reasons why one would not want interface contracts and stub modules; at this point, I don't see much of a reason not to have them myself.
Now for the Driver on Demand idea - I think it's good. There could be a central database possibly at the distro maker's site. It could contain minidrivers for each device (submitted by the device manufacturer) with each device having an ID (I assume they already have this ID) and a database onboard the user's computer to complete the identification and driver selection process.
Compilation on Demand could be a boon AND a bust depending on the accuracy and testing of the builds. I use Gentoo so I'm comfortable with this model - others may not be.
There's my buck fifty,
Codifex Maximus

When making your gift to Rush University Medical Center, you have the flexibility not only to designate how that gift may be used or to direct it to the Medical Center's greatest needs, but also to select a giving vehicle that best supports your personal financial goals.
Unrestricted gifts are among the most beneficial to Rush, as these gifts can be used at the Medical Center's discretion — wherever funds are needed most.
Designated gifts enable you to designate the purpose(s) for which you would like your gift to be used (for example, supporting the work of a specific physician or providing scholarship assistance). When you choose where your gift will be directed, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you are supporting an area of Rush that is personally meaningful to you.

Types of Gifts
Recurring Gifts
Memorial and Tribute Gifts
Matching Gifts
Gifts of Stock
Gifts of Real Estate, Tangible Personal Property or Life Insurance
Deferred Gifts
Outright gifts
An outright gift is perhaps the easiest way to contribute. Often gifts of cash, outright gifts can be of any size and are available to Rush for immediate use.
Recurring Gifts (Monthly Payments or Employee Payroll Deduction)
A recurring gift made through our convenient monthly payment plan is a wonderful way to increase the value of your gift. By extending your gift over a set period of time, charged monthly by credit card or payroll deduction (for Rush employees), you provide Rush with a consistent stream of income to support the good work of its people and programs all year long. A monthly gift of $10 or more is all it takes to make a big difference in the lives of Rush's patients, students, caregivers and community members. Set up your monthly gift online, or contact Alex Kwak at (312) 942-6112 for additional information.
Memorial and Tribute Gifts
Memorial or tribute gifts provide you with the opportunity to recognize and honor those who have had an impact on your life. For more information about memorial or tribute giving, contact Lisa Gerberding at (312) 563-3164.
Matching Gifts
You may be able to double or even triple the value of your gift through your employer's matching gift program. Check with your company's human resources department to see if the company matches employees' philanthropic contributions to not-for-profit institutions like Rush.
Gifts of Stock
Transferring securities, either stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares, allows you to make a gift to the Medical Center and receive a charitable deduction equal to the full fair market value. You may also avoid paying capital gains tax on your charitable contribution.
Gifts of Real Estate, Tangible Personal Property or Life Insurance
Non-cash outright gift options still entitle you to a charitable deduction while benefiting Rush's future.
Deferred Gifts
Deferred gifts allow donors to contribute more than they may be able through outright gifts and pledges alone. It is a great way to maximize your giving while benefiting from tax advantages or income for life. To learn more about deferred gift options — including bequests, life income plans and other estate plans — and the associated financial benefits, visit our gift planning pages.
Because Rush University Medical Center is a not-for-profit organization, your gift to Rush is tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
Give Online
You can trust your information is safe when making a monthly or one-time gift using our secure online giving form. Gifts of every size make a difference in our efforts to provide the very best patient care. Please support our efforts by making your gift today.

Dominguez was inside Municipal Court when, somehow, he managed to escape and took off running, wearing his red prisoner jumpsuit and shackles.
He ran for more than half a mile, then carjacked a white mini van that was near 16th Street and Fifth Avenue.
Yuma police say Dominguez drove until he reached the area of County 9th and the levee road on Tuesday afternoon.
Police say they believe he was headed south to the border.
He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt and tan pants.
KSWT News 13 also spoke to Mexican authorities, who tell us they are staying vigilant.
Again, police say if you see this man, do not approach him. Call police right away.
We will continue following any new developments and bring you the very latest as it becomes available.

"Like the statewide Hispanic Chamber, NJIT is an institution where the rubber hits the road when it comes to economic development," Ross said. "We're an institution committed to practical results—and to real-world business models." >>

The biggest dividend in America
This company pays out more -- over $10 billion a year -- than any other in the US.
AT&T (T) pays more dividends than any other company in America. In total, it distributes over $2.5 billion every quarter, or about $10.2 billion each year.
And this isn't some special one-time dividend. This company has paid a dividend for decades... and raised payments for 28 consecutive years, even through the 2008-2009 downturn. Right now the stock pays a 5.6% yield. But dividends are growing quickly. In the past decade, the dividend payment is up 72%.
That dedication to dividends has paid off. Today, AT&T pays more in dividends than any other company in America.
I don't think I need to tell you too many details about AT&T's business for you to know where those dividends come from. As one of the nation's largest telecoms, the company earns a bundle in recurring revenue for providing wireless, digital cable, and Internet services.
But can the company continue to pay its massive dividends ... and continue to grow them?
AT&T certainly seems confident it can. In fact, in January the company announced a $9 billion buyback plan (equal to about 5% of shares outstanding). Reducing the share count will allow for more flexibility in meeting the dividend.
Meanwhile, the rise of smartphones has business booming. Last quarter, smartphone activations were up 60% year-over-year, helping lead to a 10% rise in wireless revenues.
But the truth is, AT&T's yearly results were down in 2011 compared to 2010. In fact, the company saw net income of just $0.66 per share for the year -- well below the $1.76 per share it pays in dividends.
The main reason for its low earnings is one-time events that occurred in the fourth quarter: pension charges and a break-up fee from its failed buyout of T-Mobile. Taking out those one-time expenses, the company earned $2.20 per share -- more than enough to cover the dividend.
There's no doubt AT&T is facing some headwinds. Large debt and a capital-intensive business take up money that could otherwise be used for dividends.
But there is also little doubt the company is dedicated to paying -- and increasing -- dividends to its investors.
After all, you don't pay more than $10 billion a year in dividends if you aren't serious about putting money in your investors' pockets.
I own AT&T for my $200,000 real-money Daily Paycheck Portfolio.

In restaurants, fish chowder is either superb or dreadful, mostly because some cooks have such a heavy hand with the flour and other thickeners, and the broth tastes pasty. At home, however, where you're making a manageable-sized pot, the broth should have just the right body and creaminess. Here you get a little smokiness from bacon.

A selection of weird and wonderful programmes, perfect for late night listening
Listen now 28 mins
Frank Cottrell Boyce celebrates one of the great TV families - 'The Waltons'.
'Goodnight, John Boy,' became one of the most common catchphrases of the 1970s, born as it was from one of that decade's most popular TV programmes, 'The Waltons'. Set in rural Virginia during the Depression, the show offered something very different from the typical television of the time, which was chiefly made up of urban shows like 'Kojak', 'The Mod Squad' and 'Starsky and Hutch'. Not only was the setting different but so was the set of characters - poor, blue collar people who were broadly speaking happy with their lives - anathema to many commissioning editors.
In 'Goodnight, John Boy', Frank Cottrell Boyce - himself father of seven children and a successful TV writer - tries to find out precisely why it was such an unlikely TV recipe which proved quite so irresistible to many millions of viewers, and challenges the commonly held view that it was simple nostalgia that played to a Conservative moral agenda.
When George Bush Sr. argued that America needed a lot more families like the Waltons and fewer like the Simpsons, he failed to recognise that the show and the family were deeply rooted in the values of FDR's New Deal. Indeed members of the cast such as Will Geer (Grandpa) and Ralph Waite (Pa Walton) were themselves very active on the political left, with Geer blacklisted as a gay communist and Waite refusing to take part in a photo shoot with President Nixon.
Boyce speaks to a number of the cast members (including those who played Pa Walton, John Boy, and Elizabeth) as well as Earl Hamner, who wrote the books upon which the series was based.

Will America fall like Rome?
As we all are aware of Rome was the global trade network of the world thousands of years ago. It can also be debated that America is a prominent trade network ,today in comparison to other countries. Is it a matter of time before America falls as Rome did?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
pat gilbert 100+Nov 21 2012: It will fall, the image is that Rome fell slowly but this is a metaphor. I would look at how the USSR broke up or Argentina. It will probably happen quickly the reason for all is economic. The USSR who's source of income was imperialism, the U.S. and Argentina and the UK because of debt caused by socialism.
Everything has a cycle a beginning, growth and an end including countries I would look at this video to understand the economics of this process.
Mitch SMith 100+Nov 21 2012: Yes, I totally agree.
The strength of the USA is the S part.
I believe that if the states are granted the opportunity to determine the field of competition - this is the only way for them to realise their full capacity.
Look at the states now?
At one time, I was in awe of the states - i promoted the idea of Australia petitioning to join the union.
But lately, I'm glad we didn't .. the personality media based federalism in the USA seems to have wrecked the dream.
So I fully support the secessionist movement that kicked off after the US election. But the petitionists will have to be aware that to get true independence, and a chance to compete freely - not only must they Secede from the union - they will also need to secede from th Corporation of the USA.
Only then will the states be clear to max-out.
GO Yanks!
(edit: P.S. - did you get the email from Obama? I did, and I haven't read such a vacuous meaningles document in all my days. His assertions ar hollow - he talks about energy independence, but hidden in there is his lack of will to allow the American people get on with it - he wants to get the applause for it all!)
Nov 21 2012: Mitch
Federalism mean a division of power between the states and the Fed. What we have now is all of the power going to a central government which is unconstitutional through agencies and czars under the Executive branch. Federalism is a good thing in this instance. Other wise yes secession is a constitutional right of the states. Except Lincoln violated the Constitution and began the decent into a central power that we have today. The only problem with corporation is when they are subsidized by government.
The us is not what it used to be and is easily manipulated. Imo this is due to a culture of entitlement instead of freedom. Anyway the way to get this back is though decentralization which mean shrink government and government spending.
Nov 21 2012: Hi Pat,
"culture of entitlement instead of freedom" - spot-on!
I often bang-on about perception and agency and all that guff - but the whole thing revolves around "advantage". If anything living - from bacteria to humans does not obtain advantage, it is toast.
Our whole organism-base operates to get a thing we call "freedom" .. you could say "options" .. this is not so much teh variety of things in a shop, but the options one has open to get on with being alive. this freedom includes a range of advantage and disadvantage. Any sane person will normally choose the advantage, and only choose a small disadvantage in order to gain future advantage - and that includes getting along with other people. No one will choose a disadvantage that leads to no freedom at all.
But there are our "governments" trying to force all these choices on us - removing our freedom.
Yes, I am not in favour of blank welfare to individuals or companies. If there is a need for spreading risk, then it would work better as a development grant. But there had better be a strong case for returns.

8 ways to trim Christmas tree costs
How to get a lush tree for the cost of Charlie Brown's reject.
This post comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Decking the halls can be an expensive proposition, but Christmas tree shoppers have plenty of options for finding a good deal, experts say.
Despite reports of drought stunting growth on Texas and Oklahoma farms, Christmas tree pricing nationwide has remained flat, says Oscar Sloterbeck, head of company surveys for market research firm ISI Group. Sales during Thanksgiving week, meanwhile, were up 6% nationwide compared with last year, he says.
Now that online retailers compete with tree farms and stores, shoppers have far more opportunities to find discounts, experts say. Growers are also marketing more niche varieties geared toward budget shoppers. "I've seen whole sections of 'condo' trees that are really skinny, or small enough for a tabletop," says Rick Dungey, a spokesman for the National Christmas Tree Association, an industry group. "They're trying to put more options, more variety out on the marketplace for customers who ordinarily wouldn't have gotten a tree."
By the National Christmas Tree Association's data, shoppers spent an average of $36.12 last year for a real tree, but prices can easily be triple that depending on the size and type of tree and where it's purchased.
Splurging on this holiday expense, however, means less of a budget for other things. Besides, the tree gets thrown away in a few weeks, says Heather Wagenhals, founder of the Unlock Your Wealth Foundation. "It's about the people around the tree, not the tree itself," she says.
Experts recommend these tips to get a great tree without overspending:
Compare pricing methods. Some vendors calculate price by the foot, while others charge a flat fee for any tree in the lot, says Wagenhals. Either might be the better deal, depending on the size you're looking for. Ask specifically about the price for, say, an 8-foot tree when calling around, she suggests. Also look beyond tree lots to garden centers, supermarkets and home improvement stores, which may have their own supply. Post continues below.
Consider species. Consumers might find that one of the more than 30 types of Christmas trees has features that fits their needs better than others -- the Fraser fir has sturdy branches to withstand heavy ornaments, for example, and blue spruce have sharp needles that deter a climbing housecat. But some varieties are more expensive than others depending on their availability in that area, so it's worth adding that into the mix when asking about prices, Dungey says. At ChristmasFarms.com, a 6-foot tree sells for $110 to $139, based on its type.
Browse online. Shoppers can pick a tree from the comfort of home as big retailers join the host of growers selling trees online for home delivery. Target is selling trees online for the second year, and Sears is selling them for the first time this year. Prices can easily be twice what they are on the lot, but trees are cut to order, which may mean they're fresher -- and so, last longer -- than those on lots that were cut as early as October, says Les Werner, an associate professor of forestry at the University of Wisconsin.
Cut your own. Bypass even the choose-your-own farms in favor of the woods. The U.S. Forest Service sells permits for consumers to cut down their own tree in a national forest. The price: as little as $10. The trade-off, of course, is in extra time and effort to saw down the tree and lug it home.
Clip coupons. Groupon, LivingSocial and other daily deal sites have offered vouchers for local tree farms and other venues selling Christmas trees. Sandone Christmas Trees of Dallas, for example, offered $80 worth of goods for $40 via Groupon. Through Dec. 2, Sears has a 5%-off sale on its fresh-cut trees, which knocks the price of its 6-foot Fraser fir trees to $95. (The trees had already taken a price cut from $120 to $100.) Costco has cut its tree prices by $20 to $50, for orders placed by Dec. 18.
Check quality. The fresher the tree, the better your chances it'll still be alive come Christmas morning. "Ask where the trees came from," says Werner. "Obviously, if they were shipped 800 miles, there's going to be some time delay." Even that's not necessarily a bad thing, if the tree has been stored properly, he says. If the branches snap when bent instead of flexing, that's a sign the tree is no longer able to absorb moisture. Ditto lots of needle loss.
Wait. This might be the year to start a new tradition: decorating the tree on Christmas Eve, or close to it. Tree pricing tends to hold steady from Thanksgiving until four or five days before Christmas, when sellers are looking to clear out their remaining inventory. "You'll almost certainly get a deal," Sloterbeck says.
Haggle. Tree lot operators may have paid just $10 for a cutting permit themselves, says Wagenhals, or have purchased their wares wholesale. Either way, the profit margins are significant enough that many are willing to negotiate. Make an opening offer of half the sticker price, she suggests.

As an object approaches an observer's eye, tau, defined as the inverse relative expansion rate of the object's image on the retina (Lee, 1976) approximates time-to-collision (TTC). Many studies have suggested that human observers use TTC information, but evidence for the use of tau remains inconclusive. Here we present two studies that investigated the use of tau in object-motion and observer-motion situations. In Study I, we dissociated several monocular variables that potentially contributed to TTC perception, and found that participants were most sensitive to TTC information when performing a relative TTC estimation task; and less sensitive to non-time variables such as distance-to-collision, speed and object size. Additionally, when we manipulated sources of information to specify conflicting time-of-arrivals, TTC specified by tau was weighted more than TTC derived from distance and speed. Thus, we concluded that even in the presence of monocular depth information, observers strongly utilize tau when estimating TTC.
In Study II, observers estimated TTC of a looming target in the presence or absence of background expansion. Results demonstrated that participants overestimated TTC in situations where the surroundings of the target's contours expanded at a reduced rate. Moreover, simulated self-motion was unnecessary to induce this bias, as results were comparable in situations where this relative expansion was limited to the target's immediate surroundings. Therefore, we also concluded that a relative tau variable, based on the relative rate of expansion, is utilized whenever expansion beyond the object's immediate boundaries is less than the target's absolute rate of expansion.

I'm flying into Dublin early on a sunday morning, and I just wanted to know if I can travel from the airport to the Dun Laoghaire Harbor area without having to use a taxi. Bus? Metro? Any other alternatives?
There's a pretty good page about Getting to & from Dun Laoghaire, and from that, it looks like the bus is a viable option:
The first bus 41 on Sundays leaves from Dublin Airport at 07:15. How early are you arriving?
From the centre you can then take one of these towards Dun Laoghaire:
Some of these buses start between 7-8, some only at 09:30, and some don't run at all on Sundays. For more details, you could try the Route Planner.
Regarding the price: from the dublinbus.ie site it's not immediately clear if you can continue on the same ticket when changing to the Dun Laoghaire bus, but looking at the list of fares, it's going to be quite cheap in every case (compared to a taxi which would cost around €50).
Those pages are well out of date.
There is a direct bus from Dublin Airport every hour to Dun Laoghaire. It will work out much quicker than using more than one or two modes of transport.
Dun Laoghaire Harbour is a little to the South East of Dublin City Centre. The Airport is to the north.
The Dublin Airport Website has a great section on getting to/from the airport which you should have a look at. I don't believe there's anything listed there that'll take you direct, but it might be worth double checking!
The option that springs to mind is to take a bus then DART (local train). You can take the 747 Bus from the airport to the city centre, which runs pretty regularly, to Connolly Rail Station. From there, change onto the DART, and take it to the appropriate station. (There are two serving Dun Laoghaire, so go for the one nearest your hotel!)

The English Songstress Performs a Tale of American Heartbreak in Vincent Haycock's New Video
A relationship falls apart in the desert towns and fog-soaked coast of California as the baroque pop chanteuse and Karl Lagerfeld and Gucci muse Florence Welch takes on a cinematic role in this second collaboration with LA-based director Vincent Haycock. After helming the narrative music video for Welch's Calvin Harris-produced disco hit "Sweet Nothing", Haycock wanted to further explore singer's interest in acting in his film for "Lover to Lover", the latest single from her hit sophomore album Ceremonials. "She wasn't just Florence, she was playing a character," he says. "It was exciting to take someone who's built such an iconic visual style, with the floaty dresses and distinct look of her videos, and do something really different." Performing opposite Australian actor Ben Mendelsohn, who stars alongside Brad Pitt in the forthcoming flick, Killing Them Softly, Welch's on-screen interpretation echoes the track's heart-aching refrain, "There's no salvation for me now." Beginning in a drab Los Angeles house and building to a cathartic gospel frenzy, the romance ends as the lovesick heroine disappears amid mist into the Pacific Ocean. "The waves were enormous, it was freezing cold and four in the morning—I was weeping all the way in I was so scared," recounts the MTV Award-winning singer, laughing. "It was the most intense experience because we shot the whole day before; I went back to the hotel, slept for three hours, woke up and dove into the sea."
How did the concept for this character come about?
I was going through a phase where I was thinking about what I wanted from life, asking, do I want a husband and a child? Why do I think I need that?
What was it like to film such intense scenes with a proper actor like Ben Mendelsohn?
It was an emotional day and it brought up a lot of things. I'd come to the end of this massive tour and just needed to go home. I was tired and disoriented because Southern California doesn't have seasons--everything's getting cold back home and the leaves are falling but in LA everything's in this stasis. I think I was screaming, "This isn't real, I don't know what's going on!" and Ben was screaming back, "You're here, you're here!"
Did you have a script?
It was completely improvised. I had to think about things that I was actually angry and upset about. It is cathartic, but you have to literally let yourself go. Ben is so sweet and accommodating--afterwards he gave me this massive hug and made me feel so comfortable.
Do you plan to take some time off now?
I'm not going to tour for a year after this one. I've been doing it since I was 21 and I think it's time really to settle into moving out of my mum's! But I'm not going to stop writing. Playing live is my biggest passion, but I've got a lot of ideas, and I need the space to work on them.
The Songstress Leads an All-Star Cast for a New Buddy Holly Tribute Album
Outfitted in Day of the Dead regalia, Florence Welch conjures a soulful rendition of Buddy Holly's 1957 hit in new music video "Not Fade Away." Produced by Louisiana native C.C. Adcock and recorded in New Orleans last year in the midst of Florence and the Machine's North American tour, the cover is part of a forthcoming 19-track tribute album, Rave On Buddy Holly, which commemorates the late musician's 75th birthday. "When I was 10 my grandmother took me to see the Buddy Holly musical and I've had a crush on him ever since. And now my boyfriend looks slightly like him!" Welch laughs. The compilation's producers, Randall Poster and Gelya Robb, enlisted the likes of Patti Smith, Julian Casablancas, Paul McCartney and Karen Elson (with Jack White) in testament to Holly's immeasurable influence. "He elevated the ordinary to poetry," says Poster, renowned music supervisor for films by Wes Anderson, Martin Scorsese and Todd Haynes. "A lot of artists have found inspiration and identified with Buddy Holly, because they feel like he's everyman, not a superman. He gave John Lennon the confidence to wear glasses." NOWNESS asked Poster to annotate standout tracks from the album, available on June 28.
Florence and the Machine, "Not Fade Away"
Florence was an artist that we wanted to have on the record from the beginning. By virtue of where she was, the track has this New Orleans arrangement: it breathes a Cajun influence. The song bears a geographic imprint.
Paul McCartney, "It's So Easy"
McCartney's probably been playing this song for 50 years. Not only is he paying tribute to Buddy Holly, he's also paying tribute to his own musical past. It's wonderful to hear how much fun he's having. It kind of speaks to what rock and roll is: it's there to help you capture your youthful spirit.
Karen Elson, "Crying, Waiting, Hoping"
We pursued Karen on the verge of stalking her, basically, to get her to do a track.
Jenny O., "I'm Gonna Love You Too"
A sweet story. We've had our eye on her. She's about 21 years old. She just went out on her own, without asking, cut the track and sent it to us, and it fit in so perfectly. There's something so spirited about it. That we were able to include it was a real treat; to present a relatively unknown artist, who is still younger than Buddy Holly was when he died.
My Morning Jacket, "True Love Ways"
Jim James [the band's frontman] was the first artist who recorded for us. I worked with him on the Todd Haynes's Bob Dylan movie, I'm Not There, for which he sang and also appeared. In my mind, I heard him singing "True Love Ways." So I brought him the song. Jim James is an angel on earth, and it's just the most heartbreaking and beautiful song you've ever heard.
Patti Smith, "Word of Love"
Patti was thinking about Buddy's marriage to Marie Elena [Santiago], who was from Puerto Rico, and brought this Spanish language spirit into the song, which is just beautiful. This was also really a band collaboration: Lenny Kaye and Tony Shanahan, who are in Patti's band, are huge Buddy Holly fans: they were channeling his relationship with the Crickets and the guys he grew up with playing this music.
Kid Rock, "Well Alright"
We worked on this with the producer Matt Sweeney, who also produced the Black Keys and the Julian Casablancas tracks. He made the suggestion to have Kid Rock, and we weren't really sure about how that was going to sound. He was really open to trying something different. So we got this really tight and spare soul track. I think it's one of the great Kid Rock tracks of all time.
Lou Reed, "Peggy Sue"
Lou couldn't understand why everyone didn't want to do "Peggy Sue." That was his take on it. Lou was like, "I mean it's the best song! Peggy Sue! Peggy Sue made an impression on me."

On the Edge of Modernism With the Master Architect and the Genius Designer
Illustrious modernist Richard Meier and multi-disciplinary creator Massimo Vignelli reflect on their respective crafts, city life, and enduring friendship in this mesmeric film by Johnnie Shand Kydd. Shot at the minimalist offices of Richard Meier & Partners on 10th Avenue and West 36th Street, the two powerhouses discuss their collaboration on the firm's forthcoming monograph, Richard Meier, Architect Volume 6, chronicling the stark, white, rationalist buildings that define the firm's aesthetic. The Pritzker Prize laureate's most notable projects include the Getty Center in L.A., the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, and more recently, the two glass-and-steel towers on Perry Street in New York's West Village that Martha Stewart, Ian Schrager, Calvin Klein, and Nicole Kidman have all called home. Vignelli, too, has left a significant mark on Manhattan, having famously designed the New York subway map and signage, in addition to working on everything from packaging and furniture design to corporate identities for clients like BMW, Barney's, Xerox and American Airlines. "Architects need to have a certain arrogance, a sense of self-belief," posits Shand Kydd. "A designer, however, has to be more collaborative. Consequently, Meier and Vignelli have very different natures, but like all very talented people, they both look forward and not back." Here Meier nonetheless looks to his present city, and beyond, to reveal his select few architectural necessities.

The Plaza de la Cultura cleverly conceals one of San José's treasures, the Banco Central-owned Museo de Oro Precolombino, or Pre-Columbian Gold Museum. The bunker-like underground museum is unprepossessing but the gold on display is truly impressive – all the more extraordinary if you take into account the relative paucity of pre-Columbian artefacts in Costa Rica (compared with Mexico, say, or Guatemala). Most of the exquisitely delicate goldwork is by the Diquis, ancient inhabitants of southwestern Costa Rica.
The gold pieces are hung on transparent wires, giving the impression of floating in space, mysteriously suspended in their perspex cases. Most of the gold pieces are small and unbelievably detailed, with a preponderance of disturbing, evil-looking animals. Information panels (in English and Spanish) suggest that one of the chief functions of these portents of evil – frogs, snakes and insects – was to protect the bearer against illness. The Diquis believed that sickness was transmitted to people through spirits in animal form. The ave de rapiña, or bird of prey, seems to have had a particular religious relevance for the Diquis: hawks, owls and eagles, differing only fractionally in shape and size, are depicted everywhere. Watch out, too, for angry-looking arachnids, ready to bite or sting; jaguars and alligators carrying the pathetic dangling legs of human victims in their jaws; grinning bats with wings spread; turtles, crabs, frogs, iguanas and armadillos; and a few spiny lobsters. Museum displays highlight the historical and geographical context of Costa Rican gold. Maps pinpoint gold-production centres and there are models of gold-making settlements.
Costa Rican gold
Costa Rican gold
Little, if anything, is known of the prehistory of the Diquis, who were responsible for most of the goldwork at the Museo de Oro Precolombino. However, the history of goldworking in the New World is fairly well documented. It was first recorded (around 2000 BC) in Peru, from where it spread northwards, reaching Mexico and the Central American isthmus by 700–900 AD. All the ancient American peoples favoured more or less the same methods and styles, using a gold-copper alloy (called tumbaga) and designs featuring extremely intricate shapings, with carefully rendered facial expressions and a preference for ingenious but rather diabolical-looking zoomorphic representations – growling peccaries, threatening birds of prey, and a two-headed figure, each mouth playing its own flute. The precise function of these intricately crafted creations is still the subject of some debate since many of the objects show no sign of having been worn (there are no grooves in the pendant links to indicate they were worn on chains). Archeologists believe they may have been intended for ceremonial burial and, indeed, some were even "killed" or ritually mutilated before being entombed. Others may have been worn as charms protecting the bearer against illness and evil spirits.
The Diquis would have obtained the gold by panning in rivers, and it is speculated that in Osa, at least, the rivers routinely washed up gold at their feet. Diquis caciques (chiefs) and other social elites used their gold in the same way it is used today – to advertise wealth and social prestige. Ornaments and insignias were often reserved for the use of a particular cacique and his family, and these special pieces were traded as truce offerings and political gifts between various rulers, maintaining contacts between the caciques of distant regions. Indeed, it was the removal of native distinctions of social rank following the Spanish Conquest of the country in the seventeenth century that heralded the almost immediate collapse of the Costa Rican gold-making industry.
Although the Diquis were the undisputed masters of design, archeological digs in the Reventazón Valley suggest that gold-working could also be found among the peoples of the Atlantic watershed zone. When Columbus first came ashore in 1502, he saw the local (Talamancan) peoples wearing gold mirror-pendants and headbands and rashly assumed he had struck it rich – hence the country's name. An early document of a subsequent expedition to the Caribbean coastal region of Costa Rica, now housed in archives in Cartago, contains the impressions of native wealth recorded by one gold-crazed Spaniard in Diego de Sojo's 1587 expedition: "The rivers abound with gold…and the Indians extract gold with calabashes in very large grains…from these same hills Captain Muñoz…took from the tombs of the dead…such a great quantity of gold as to swell two large chests of the kind in which shoes and nails for the cavalry are brought over from Castile."

Harry Flechtner Urges U.S. to Withdraw Treaty Declaration
On October 11 Pitt Law Professor Harry Flechtner made an invited presentation to the annual meeting of the U.S. State Department's Advisory Council on Private International Law in Washington D.C. at which he criticized a declaration made by the United States when it ratified the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods ("CISG"). The U.S. declaration, which Professor Flechtner argued should be withdrawn, limits the application of the CISG in international sales transactions involving a U.S. party. Professor Flechtner's presentation was part of a panel discussion focusing on international contract law issues and initiatives.

April 2014
Truly magnificent...and the day trip was just enough. If I were never to get back to Death Valley, I saw enough to appreciate the raw beauty and wonder of it all. At the same time, it raised enough interest to perhaps someday return explore further. Tom was an excellent guide. His knowledge of the entire surrounding areas was evident and his easy-going nature put us all at ease. Our small group and the PERFECT weather (in March) capped it all off.
February 2014
Death Valley is amazing. And Tour Trekker was a great way to see it. Pick-up was at our lodging, and was right on time. Our driver and tour guide, Mike, was very knowledgeable about the entire area and made our day long journey fun, interesting, and educational.

Voyager Knit Medallion-Print Maxi Dress 7 7
Very pretty, except a little too loose and long I bought the orange (love!) in my normal size (8). I'm 5'5", 34C, about 140 lbs. The top fits well. I wish it were a little less full just under the bust, so that it would flatter the smallest part of most my - and many women's - body. Also, it seems a little too long. It is just shy of dragging on the ground; I prefer a maxi to be more of an ankle-grazing length. I'm still deciding wihether to try a size 6 or keep it. August 3, 2014
lovely on, buy it ! I'm 5'5" 155lbs 38B, fits great. Makes me feel wonderful. Dress up w/jewels or barefoot by the pool in the evening. April 8, 2014
Flattering, comfortable and well made. This dress will be worn all summer. May 20, 2014
love love the way this fits and looks on i would recommend this dress. the quality looks like twice the price. March 12, 2013
Nice Dress This dress is stunning in color ( I have the blue). I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. My only complaint is that (and this may just be my body type) it fits well in the top, but I feel the bottom or skirt part of the dress could be more fitted to the body. But don't let that stop you from buying this dress. It is comfortable and beautiful all at the same time. July 5, 2013
Just like the photo When I saw this picture, I was immediately taken by the attractive print. I wasn't disappointed. And maxis are very in this summer. May 7, 2013
Great fit and style...very flattering dress! Fabric feels good and wears nicely. June 5, 2013
