Korg KDM-2 Digital MetronomeThe Korg KDM-2 Digital Metronome lets you hear the tempo clearly, even over loud instruments. Korg has built in an improved cylindrical resonator speaker and your choice of 3 different PCM tones (cowbell/agogo/clave). The KDM-2's adjustable volume level and a headphone jack let you practice at the volume you want. See the tempo with the KDM-2's easy-to-see large LED. The start/stop switch blinks in red and green for silent metronome practice. The KDM-2 contains a total of 19 beat patterns from basic beats to variations like son clave and rumba clave. You can set the tempo in any of 3 ways: Full Step mode lets you adjust the tempo over a range of 30 through 252BPM in single steps; Pendulum Step mode lets you set the tempo using the preset tempo settings, as on a mechanical metronome; and Tap Tempo mode lets you set the tempo by pressing the TAP switch at the desired interval. Sound Out mode outputs a reference tone that you can use as a tuning guide. You can listen to any of the 12 pitches from C4-B4. You can also adjust the A4 frequency (calibration) in a broad range of 410Hz-480Hz. The KDM-2 provides a memory backup function that remembers the specified tempo, beat, calibration, and reference pitch even when the power is turned off. The large LCD screen makes it easy to view the settings. An encoder-type TEMPO/CALIB dial and a Step Select switch provide quick and direct access to settings and functions. Featuring an original design that's compact yet stable, the KDM-2 is at home on your desk, your piano, or anywhere else. The KDM-2 is designed for long battery life. It will continue marking an accurate tempo for approximately 120 hours of continuous use at a tempo of 120BPM.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
Great product. Nice big sound that can be controlled. An easy to hit start/stop button on top. My favorite feature, and the reason I can't ever have any other type of metronome, is the tap-in button. Tap in a few beats and it gives you the tempo. Great for studying or timing students. I was originally a bit concerned about the ease of moving the tempo dial but after only a day or two it was simple.

Attorneys in the Drew Peterson murder case discussed motions regarding evidence in a final hearing on Wednesday before trial begins next week.
Drew Peterson was in the Joliet courtroom for the hearing, wearing a blue prison jumpsuit, accompanied by his attorneys.
At the hearing, Will County Judge Edward Burmila on ruled prosecutors could display a three-dimensional model of the alleged murder victim, Kathleen Savio.
But he denied a prosecutors' motion to enter evidence Peterson wiretapped Savio's house. A prosecutor had described the planting of a recording device as proof of Peterson's plan to eventually kill his third wife.
Higher courts have ruled Burmila can consider admitting hearsay evidence at a trial where there will be little to no physical evidence.
But Burmila refused the prosecutors' request he make clear immediately which of more than a dozen hearsay statements will be permitted.
The former Bolingbrook police officer has been in jail for three years awaiting trial for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in a dry bathtub in her home in 2004. Attorneys have been battling over statements made to her divorce attorney and whether any of them can be admitted at trial.
Savio's family said they are ready for this trial to begin.
"I've been praying for years for this. I want answers. I prayed to my sister for answers, I prayed to God, and finally this is going to happen," said Savio's brother, Mitchell Doman.
Peterson is also a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy, but that is not expected to come up in this trial.
Until he was taken into custody, Peterson was on television frequently, making jokes about his celebrity status.
His attorney, Joel Brodsky said things are getting serious now that the trial is about to begin. Brodsky said it's the most serious time of Drew Peterson's life and we have a good team of people who will present a good defense.
Brodsky expressed concern about picking a jury that can be fair, mentioning the Lifetime Network movie made about Peterson, starring Rob Lowe as Peterson. He said he will ask potential jurors about their exposure to that movie when jury selection begins next Monday.
Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow said he'll be ready.
"We moved through most of the motions, reviewed some of the jury materials and we're looking forward on Monday to picking a jury," Glasgow said.

Review: 2007 Jaguar XKR
This 2007 review is representative of model years 2007 to 2015.
By Brian Laban of MSN Autos
For Jaguar right now, there are two letters more than any others that link the brand's heritage and its future, and those letters are XK. For close to 60 years they've been the Jaguar shorthand for sports car, and while a lot has changed since they unveiled the original XK120 prototype way back in 1948 (built in strictly limited numbers as a market teaser), one thing that hasn't changed is Jaguar's belief that style, performance and a distinctive personality is not a bad combination to build a car on.
Created around an all-new twin-cam straight-six engine that Jaguar's originators had designed while bombs were falling all around them during World War II air raids on Coventry, England, the first XK120s were in effect a run of hand-built prototypes that introduced that classic engine to the world in 180-horsepower 3.4-liter form, in a simple ladder chassis derived from the Mk V sedan, and with a stunningly modern shape for its day that showed how Jaguar founder William Lyons had a perfect eye for sporting lines.
Lyons' fallback position was that if the public didn't like the car, it would at least have served its purpose in introducing (and proving) the fine new engine. With little body-tooling involved it wouldn't have cost a fortune to try it out, either, and he could move on to introducing an even newer, up-market sedan based on the same new engines.
A Star Is Born
But Lyons didn't have to worry about whether people would like his sports car because two years earlier, in 1948, at the first London Motorshow to be held after the war, the prototype XK120 roadster had wowed them even more than the sedan would do. And after building some 240 of the opinion-testing limited-series cars, in 1949 Lyons committed the XK120 to full production and a star line was born. Then in May of that year, with his usual eye for publicity, and to justify the new car's badge, Lyons flew a group of journalists out to Belgium and to the hugely long, straight and level new motorway at Jabbeke where it demonstrated that it could achieve more than the 120 mph promised by the name (in fact 126 mph) even with the roof up—or almost 133 mph with the roof down and the big windscreen replaced by a small, racing-style "aero" screen.
And at the same time, the XK120 launched into what became a sensational motor sports career that covered everything from sprint and endurance racing to long-distance rallying and the gentler pursuits of sprints and auto tests. Through the exploits of a range of XK enthusiasts from ambitious amateur racers right through to the likes of Stirling Moss, the XK120 trophy cabinet started to fill with victories like the Tourist Trophy, the Liege-Rome-Liege and RAC Rallies, and stirring early performances in the greatest sports car race of them all, at Le Mans. It's not too far fetched to say the XK120 was where Jaguar really started.
From where the XK story evolved through the next 50-odd years, by way of the more powerful and faster XK140 and 150 models, to the specialized multiple Le Mans-winning C- and D-Type racers, the XK-E, and more recently the XK8, launched in 1996 and clearly part of the line.
But now, since early this year, there is a completely new XK family; and topping it, for the moment at least, is the recently added XKR — taking the XK's much admired looks, build quality, ride, handling and refinement, and adding a whole new level of performance. Which was one of the few things that had been seen as open for improvement at launch.
Light and Fast
Enter the XKR, with the same 4.2 V8 starting point but now, like the S-TYPE R, the XJR and XKR before it, with the addition of a mechanically driven supercharger (as opposed to an exhaust-gas-driven turbocharger) and a whole lot more power than its naturally aspirated cousin. That's 420 horsepower, and a big 413 lb-ft of torque, which with a delivery like a sleigh-ride knocks a full second off the headline 0-60 mph time to bring it under five seconds, and totally transforms how the car feels almost anywhere. Because the simple fact is that, good as the XK is, its chassis is so good that it feels as though it would handle all the power you could throw at it. And while there's likely to be even more in the future, this is fine for now.
XK badge apart, the modern XKR has something else in common with the original "prototype" XK120s, and that's aluminum. In the 1948 car, it was just the convenient way to allow a hand-formed body without committing to expensive tooling (and a useful weight-saving bonus for the early competition cars) but for the new XK it's the engineering bedrock. In fact the new XK structure is almost entirely aluminum, and very sophisticated indeed. The construction is bonded and riveted like an aircraft, and uses super-high-strength materials, panels and forgings to give one of the lightest, strongest, stiffest, safest shells in the business.
And that goes for the convertible as well as the coupe, because the XK family was designed to be a chop-top from the start—as distinct from chopping the top away then trying to put the stiffness back. So on almost any road, the structure feels tremendously solid and secure, even from the passenger seat, where feet on the floor can sometimes reveal even more than feet on pedals and hands on wheel. And pretty much wherever and however we drove, there's precious little difference hardtop to soft.
It's light, too—way lighter than rivals like the BMW M6 or Mercedes-Benz SL550, and that helps everything, from acceleration to brakes to ride and handling. And in all respects, this XKR is a genuine class act.
It looks stunning in the metal, muscular and clean without any excess glitz that it can live without. And very importantly, it looks like a Jaguar. Just look, for instance, at how solidly it sits on its huge optional 20-inch wheels, and take a look at the rear, so wide and low and aggressive, yet again so clean and so Jaguar. It's a great looking thing.
But it isn't all show and no go. The XKR is now a very serious performer indeed, and with a character all its own—"Jaguarness."
Exceptional Quality and Simple Features
It's comfortable, too—deep and supportive seats, an excellent driving position, controls that are logically placed and easy to operate, without any ridiculous multi-function selectors or the like—because Jaguar does a much better job of handling minor functions like climate and audio controls, communications and navigation with its big, easy-to-read touch screen than some others do with their rotary switches and multi-buttons.
Jaguar has a good grasp on what's actually valuable rather than what's available, and doesn't pile the features on as thickly as some rivals, but definitely has just enough. And it really only has one driving mode compared to the M6's dozens. So at one point, 10 miles down the road from a brief stop, my motoring colleague and I remarked to each other that if we'd been in the Bimmer we would still have been sitting in the parked car choosing settings.
And in fact simplicity, good honest transparency, and a near total lack of frills is what lets the real engineering scream out at you—and believe me, the real engineering under that handsome skin is magnificent.
The roads we drove the car on in northern Spain allowed everything and forgave nothing—plenty of room to run, nowhere much to hide. There's no wonder they're proud of it. Even in stiffer XKR form, the ride is fantastically supple given the exceptional level of body control, and on twisting mountain roads it has an agility, fluency, suppleness and precision that simply bury most big grand tourer rivals. It has huge amounts of grip, but also loads of feedback through the steering and the good old-fashioned seat of the pants, and it's just as satisfying whether you're dialed back a little way for the long haul or turned up to eleven for that special piece of road that just needs to be driven. With this classically Jaguar balance between comfort, refinement and massive cross-country ability, it is for all the world a sporty GT in the true sense.
All of which makes it one of the finest cars Jaguar has built in a very long time, and possibly one of their finest ever. And also what means it has no worries in wearing the illustrious XK badge. It's definitely family.

Slow Wine USA Tour
27 Jan 14
Following its English-language debut in 2011, Slow Wine, the guide to Italian wineries approved as good, clean and fair by Slow Food, is premiering a new and updated 2014 edition. The guide and a selection of its wineries will be the focus of events for trade and consumers during a tour of three US cities: San Francisco on January 27, Chicago on January 29 and New York on February 3. The Slow Wine guide, published by Slow Food Editore and distributed in the U.S. by Chelsea Green, adopts a new approach to wine criticism and looks at a variety of factors to evaluate wineries in their entirety, taking into consideration the wine quality, typicity and adherence to terroir, value for money, environmental sensitivity and ecologically sustainable viticultural practices. Slow Wine was conceived to give a realistic snapshot of the current Italian wine landscape. The guide features reviews of 400 different wineries, each one visited by Slow Food experts. "With Slow Wine we have changed the way of reviewing wine," added Fabio Giavedoni, editor of Slow Wine. Three symbols are used in the guide to evaluate each winery: • €The Snail, the Slow Food symbol, signals a cellar that has distinguished itself through its
interpretation of sensorial, territorial, environmental and personal values in harmony with the
Slow Food philosophy. • €The Bottle, allocated to cellars that show a consistently high quality throughout their range of
wines. • €The Coin, an indicator of great value.
For those looking for access to the Slow Wine ratings at their fingertips: The Slow Wine 2014 app is available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The app contains all contents of the paperback with the addition of new features that allow users to navigate and share information on the vast Italian heritage of people, vineyards and wines easily. The app also allows users to find their closest carrier of the wines, take photos and rate them and share with their network on Facebook in the US and the ability to find nearby wineries when traveling through Italy. The Slow Wine editing team is also planning the release of a bimonthly newsletter sold by subscription and dedicated to the English-, German- and Italian speaking markets. The digital magazine will be produced by a collaboration of over 200 contributors, as well as the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo. The newsletter's main objective is to offer readers a profound insight into the world of Italian wine, the world's largest wine producing country, inspired by the cornerstone values of Slow Food: environmental sustainability, adherence to terroir, craftsmanship and quality-price ratio.

Time To Buy This Web 2.0 Company?
Ishfaque is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Up and coming local search and review site, Yelp (NYSE: YELP) continues to grow at a rapid rate. In 2012, the company's top line revenues grew 65% year-over-year along with accelerated user growth. There have been a number of reasons to be skeptical about the Web 2.0 Company previously, but there are a few positives as well in Yelp's strategy.
User eyeballs are growing but losses continue to mount. However, the company's mobile monetization and international operations along with its brand name might drive the company's fortunes higher.
100 Million And Counting
A major bright spot for Yelp is the ever increasing number of monthly visitors on its growing platform. At the end of 2012, the Yelp boasted of 86 million unique visitors and at the end of January 2013, Yelp hit more than 100 million visitors. Engaged users are posting more and more reviews on the places they have visited, the cumulative reviews on the Yelp platform saw a stellar 45% year-over-year growth and ended 2012 with more than 36 million reviews.
Yelp's brand recognition is increasingly becoming a key factor in enticing users to frequent the site and post more reviews. Yelp's expanded footprint in Europe will aid in building that brand. In addition, Yelp's subsidiary, Qype has ~15 million monthly visitors and helps the company to build out its footprint further in Europe.
Signing Up More Business Accounts and Partnerships
Some of Yelp's content was integrated into Apple's Maps app on iOS 6. In addition, Yelp partnered with Bing to provide content for Bing's Local Search portal, which is a positive for both the companies in the wake of increasing competition from Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) search and Google+ Local. Also, Yelp has been incorporated by some vehicle infotainment systems from leading car companies as well.
Most importantly, the number of active local business accounts, i.e. paying businesses on Yelp is now at 39800, which is up a staggering 68% year-over-year and up 12.1% from Q3 2012. As Yelp generates most of its revenues from small local businesses that pay on a monthly basis, this represents a strong positive for the company.
Mobile Positioning Is Quite Strong; Monetization Has Growth Potential
Yelp's mobile monetization previously wasn't stellar, but the company recently started portraying mobile ads in the search results on mobile. As of Jan 2013, the number of unique mobile visitors notched up to 9.4 million. Almost 46% of Yelp's total searches came from the mobile app, which shows that users on mobile are more engaged and going forward a majority of all searches are expected to come in from mobile, according to the CEO.
Yelp is working on enhancing the mobile experience and now 25% of local ads are being shown on mobile devices. Yelp's ever increasing large mobile traffic, and the company's focus on the monetization of mobile will be a major factor for the company's fortunes down the road. Higher user engagement on mobile will appeal to more advertisers down the road.
Losses Are Likely To Persist
Yelp is missing where it counts, the bottom line. While it was widely expected that in Q4 2012 that Yelp would post a loss, the company's loss estimates was wider than expected. Yelp ended the year with revenues of $137.6 million which is up 65% from 2011, and the Net loss for the company stood $19.1 million.
For 2013, revenues should range in between $210-$212M, which represents a projected 53% top line growth compared to 2012. It is very likely that based on a not so rosy picture painted by the company's management, losses might be ongoing.
Competitive Threats
Google+ Local is Yelp's major competitor for online reviews for restaurants, hotels and shopping etc. As most of Yelp's traffic comes in from search engine, the threat of Google is ever increasing. Yelp and Google along with TripAdvisor have been entangled in a lawsuit, accusing Google of tweaking search results in favor of Google's own services and for scraping content from Yelp and TripAdvisor. However, the lawsuits have been settled, and Google continues to have a strong array of local and travel content from Frommers, Zagat using Search, Maps and ITA Software which represents a strong threat for Yelp and other players.
The global travel information platform, TripAdvisor (NASDAQ: TRIP) is working towards building a stronger app on Facebook and on mobile. TripAdvisor has more than 50 million monthly unique visitors, and averaged more than 40 million visitors from Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) and its app on Facebook, according to AppData. In addition, TripAdvisor keeps on getting tailwind for growth from Facebook as a large portion of Facebook's users contribute heavily in posting reviews for the company. TripAdvisor is already very popular with travelers for providing them a one-stop shop for all their travel information when visiting a new place and now poses an even stronger threat to Yelp and even Google+.
In addition to the other big players, Facebook itself has portrayed its intentions to build a local search platform in its social media setting with the collective wisdom of friends and family of its 1 Billion users. However, Facebook is still in data collection mode, and will take the social media giant months if not years to collect in-depth reviews that are useful right away. And also, many Yelp users would be reluctant to post the same review on Facebook again or other competing social platform, which limits competitive threats for Yelp.
The Takeaway
Yelp has unveiled a number of notable positives recently, in particular its solid positioning in mobile and improved monetization. Unfortunately, the company has been unable to attract big brand advertisers who command large marketing budgets, compared to its target market of small local businesses. Even though, the company continues to drain its cash, the users are growing at a rapid rate, in spite of many large competing firms like TripAdvisor, Google and Facebook.
Yelp is increasingly enhancing its probability of being a good and robust social platform down the road. The company hasn't been delivering the profits, but once users flock the site in larger numbers, monetization will take-off big time, and so will the stock.

Welcome to Open Heart Meditation - Los Angeles
There are many types of meditation techniques and practices ranging from active ones where the practitioner attempts to control their breath, to focusing the mind, to chanting to visualization. There are also other kinds of meditation that are more passive where the meditator just relaxes and tries to calm or still their mind from thinking. All of these meditation techniques are focused at using the brain to ease brain activity, which can be challenging to master for those with an active mind.
Unlike traditional meditation, Open Heart Meditation™ is a remarkably simple, yet effective, heart-based practice that is centered on "feeling" rather than on brain-oriented visualizations or breathing techniques, making this practice purely experiential.
Open Heart Meditation™ has helped many people reduce their stress level and heal on a deep internal level, enabling them to cope better emotionally and allowing the natural healing process to happen much faster. In addition, this practice is universal and nondenominational and it encourages respect for all religious beliefs.
This is not a serious practice that involves hard work, creative visualizations or any sort of effort whatsoever.
"Some of us have long asked why we cannot hold on to happiness. For all of the scholarship and human insights across centuries, nobody has found a complete and enduring answer. Perhaps because it has been too close to see…
The answer, the key, is our heart."
~ Irmansyah Effendi, M.Sc., Founder Padmacahaya Institute for Inner Study
Our spiritual heart is the key to experiencing peace, calmness, joy and true love.
By connecting to our heart we are able to naturally:
The process of connecting to our heart is natural, joyful, freeing, and purely experiential. It's not a serious practice that involves hard work, visualizations or breathing techniques. Instead, if done properly, it should feel light, gentle, peaceful, easy... and fun!
We welcome you to experience the universal truth, natural joy, lasting peace and true beauty of the spiritual heart for yourself!
Yet in spite of our worldly success and social relationships, we sometimes feel lonely, empty, as if something is missing. Even when we experience happiness, it tends to be more of a brief touch than a lasting embrace. We seem to slip back to a lower plane, a place of wanting, again and again.
Some of us have long asked why we cannot hold on to happiness. For all of the scholarship and human insights across the centuries, nobody has found a complete and enduring answer. Perhaps because it has been too close to see…
The answer, the key, is our heart. Not the physical heart that beats in our chest, but our spiritual heart: the key connection to True Source - the Source of peace, calmness, and joy, the Source of our True Self. Our true self or spirit is within our heart. The Creator, True Source, is a Spirit, and therefore our true self is also a spirit -- a spark of True Source. Our heart is a special facility provided so that there is always a beautiful connection between True Source and all true selves.
While the brain is easily influenced by its surrounding our heart cannot be manipulated by anyone else. The truths from our heart are just that: truths untouched and untouchable by circumstance, persuasion, ego, or any other outside force.
Rather, we and True Source are the only ones who can affect our heart; no other being has the power to make our heart dirty except ourselves. Thus, when we feel hurt, angry, sad, or experience any other negative emotions, we must remind ourselves that it isn't really our colleagues, friends, family, or adverse life events causing these emotions within us. It's actually us following the negativity, allowing it to make our heart dirty.
In cleansing and opening our heart, however, it's not enough to rely on our own effort. Just as we're vulnerable to outside forces, we also lack of the internal strength to rid our selves completely of this negative energy. The best way -- the most beautiful and joyful way -- to cleanse and open our heart is to ask True Source for blessings. The Open Heart Meditation practice opens and cleanses your heart by relying onto True Source's Blessings of Love and Light.
In practicing the Open Heart Meditation™ and opening our hearts more to True Source, we receive so many wonderful benefits. Not only does it make our lives more joyful and fulfilling, but it also improves our spiritual growth.

ALKMAAR, The Netherlands, July 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
On Tuesday July 1st 2014, the new Danzza (http://www.danzza.nl) website went live internationally. After months of development we have introduced a unique website for people who are searching for an ovum donor, sperm donor or surrogate mother. You can create a personal profile and then use the available search engine for searches with criteria including hair and eye colour, background, etc. For many, the often near-impossible search for a donor or surrogate mother will become a more viable option through our website.
Because this site is now available in various languages, we can also help people in Spain, Germany and the UK. Commercial donorship laws in these countries are different to those in the Netherlands. This will bring with it a level of commotion, given that commercial donorship is not allowed in the Netherlands but is legal in countries such as Spain and Russia.
Danzza's aim
Danzza's goal is to responsibly and safely provide connections for people who want to have children but can only achieve this with the assistance of an ovum donor, sperm donor or with a surrogate mother. The site also offers donors the possibility to look up gay couples, single women and heterosexual couples to help them realise their wish to have children. Danzza offers a subscription based solution from 8 euros per month.

TE Jones
- Born: 11/04/1930
- Birthplace: Liverpoool
- Nationality: English
- Debut: 06/09/1950
In Everton's case, it's not unusual to have two Tom Jones' playing for the club - and even in the same position!
Liverpool born Thomas E. Jones was the natural successor for the legendary Thomas G. Jones who had dazzled Goodison with his skills in the 1930s and 1940s.
While a less sophisticated footballer than his namesake, T.E. matured into a reliable defender and was appointed club captain in 1957.
After making just one appearance for the 'A team' and one appearance for the reserves, Tommy made his senior debut for the Blues in 1950.
Originally employed as a left back, but then moving to the centre of defence, he made a total of 411 appearances in his 11-year career at Goodison.
Tommy was a member of the side that were relegated in 1951, but came up again three years later. A shattered kneecap forced him to retire from football in 1961, at the age of 31, - so what did he do after leaving Everton?
"I had a bad knee injury a year or so before I finished," he recalled.
"John Moores was chairman of the club at the time and he said: 'If at any time in the future you do finish the game and you're looking for some kind of employment, I'd like you to contact me.'
"I was reminded of this about a year after by a physiotherapist at the club at the time and I said: 'Yes, these directors at the club mean these things at the time but when it comes to the crunch it can be a form of embarrassment.' And he said: 'No, John Moores isn't like that.'
"So he gave me John Moores' address and phone number and said get in touch with him. I wrote to him actually and within a week I got a reply offering to give me an appointment with one of the Littlewoods people. I joined Littlewoods and I was there for 30 years. I finished up as the Senior Purchasing Officer. We were responsible for the furnishing of the store. Everything from counters to kitchen units and toilets. I found it was great and he was true to his word."

Time to Change Your Oil
By Kimberly Lord Stewart
Rap your healthy culinary mind around words like "monounsaturated fatty acids" (MUFAs), "polyunsaturated fatty acids" (PUFAs) and "essential fatty acids" (EFAs). Without good fats like these our blood pressure and heart rates go awry, our blood won't clot and our nervous system aimlessly misfires. Fats also keep our hair and nails healthy; protect our organs; and move the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K from our food into our cells.
Eating the right fats also lowers the risk of heart disease and asthma, as well as breast and prostate cancers. "When I talk with my patients, the first thing I tell them is to get rid of margarine and trans (hydrogenated) fats in their diet and replace them with extra-virgin olive oil," says Richard M. Delany, MD, a cardiologist and preventive medicine specialist at Milton Hospital in Massachusetts. "It's the actual replacement of bad fats for good fats that makes the difference." Delany then suggests adding foods that include other beneficial fats to patients' diets, such as omega-3 fats found in walnuts, flaxseed and fish.
Unfortunately, an oil label won't divulge much beyond the general categories of mono, poly and saturated fats—which makes the labels unhelpful because these fats require fine print to convey their nuances. For example, the two primary types of polyunsaturated fats are omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Both are essential, meaning the human body can't produce them by itself, and both are critical for good health, but you need the proper ratio of them to reap their benefits. Omega-3 is found in oils from cold-water, fatty fish and plants such as canola, flax, walnut and hemp; while omega-6 comes mostly from corn, canola, safflower and sunflower oils. Most of us get way too many omega-6s from processed foods. The balance of omega-3 and omega-6 should be about a 1-to-3 ratio, but it's estimated we get at least six times that amount of omega-6 per day. This imbalance may contribute to rises in heart disease, arthritis, hypertension and breast cancer rates.
You can obtain the various omega fatty acids, as well as the MUFAs, from your diet in a variety of ways, depending on what type of cooking you're doing. Which brings us to the two types of fats from a culinary perspective: cooking (for baking, sautéing, etc.) and finishing (a final addition to food when it's ready for eating).
Cooking Oils
Cooking oils—such as olive, seed and vegetable oils, along with tropical and refined nut oils—are the workhorses of fats for tasks such as greasing pans, baking or sautéing. The choices are vast and somewhat confusing, with terms such as refined, expeller–pressed and cold-pressed, which refer to the methods used to extract the oil. Refined oils are processed with chemical solvents that degum, refine, bleach and deodorize. The end result is a shelf-stable oil, but with the taste, antioxidants, vitamins and other health-giving properties sacrificed in the process. Expeller-pre...

BERNE—South Adams head wrestling coach Eric Myers has been selected as the Indiana High School Wrestling Coaches Association (IHSWCA) Regional Coach of the Year it was recently announced.
This is an award voted on by other wrestling coaches from across the area. Myers will receive a plaque at the IHSWCA state spring clinic on April 22 at Wabash College in Crawfordsville.
A 25-year-old construction worker from Fort Wayne died Wednesday at Adams Memorial Hospital a short time after being hit while on the job by the wheels of a tractor-trailer truck at a highway project at S. 13th St. and Winchester St.
City police, who investigated the tragedy, said Ryan D. Zimmerman was pronounced dead at the hospital after being rushed there from the scene by Adams County Emergency Medical Service. EMS personnel performed cardio-pulmonary resuscitation on him during the ambulance trip.
Tighter state requirements governing school nutrition guidelines have forced North Adams Community Schools to boost lunch prices for the 2011-2012 school year.
Erin Ripley, food service director for the school district, addressed the changes — some of which are already in place, and others which are expected to be imposed — during Tuesday evening's meeting of the North Adams school board.
Information provided for the obituary of Francis J. Geels, 86, of Decatur, who died on Monday, omitted the name of a deceased brother: George Frederick "Fred" Geels.
M. Lucille Zuercher, 88, of Berne, died Tuesday in Adams Memorial Hospital.
Funeral arrangements are pending at Yager-Kirchhofer Funeral Home, Berne.
One lone applicant for a soon-to-be-vacant seat on the North Adams school board will be interviewed on April 26 by the four remaining board members.
With the term of sitting board member Juan Gutierrez to expire on June 30, the board earlier had announced it was accepting applications from persons interested in filling that pending vacancy. The deadline for submissions was last Friday.
South Adams Schools board member and random drug testing policy committee chairman Steve Dobler recommended at Tuesday's school board meeting that the random drug testing policy be enforced at the beginning of the 2011-12 school year.
"I think it will be a good thing for our students," he said.
NEW HAVEN—Bellmont was a team that earned seven first place finishes (more than any other school), posted 24 season best efforts, and shattered an individual school record that had stood for 10 years...but still finished third in a Northeast Hoosier Conference triangular girls track meet at New Haven Tuesday night.
Bellmont won four sets by 6-0 scores and two more by 6-1 counts enroute to handing Wayne a 5-0 defeat in varsity tennis at the BHS courts Monday night.
The win was the second straight of the year for Bellmont while the match was the first of the season for Wayne.
Larry W. Davis Sr., 66, of Decatur, died at 12:25 a.m. Monday in Adams Memorial Hospital.
He was born to Ivan L. Davis Sr. and Waneta I. McKean Davis. His father is deceased; his mother lives in Decatur.
Larry had been employed by General Electric Corp., with 32 years of service, and had also worked parttime at Decatur Cemetery and Adams Memorial Hospital.

Bank of America's 'serious challenges'
A well-known banking analyst lowers his price target for the nation's largest bank.
Richard Bove, a well-known banking analyst, has lowered his price target for the stock, staying it faces "serious challenges" from multiple sources, according to The New York Times.
And it was a pretty steep drop. Bove's target price is now $22.80, down from his earlier target of $27.50. The stock is trading at about $15.
Here are some of the reasons Bove is concerned, according to the Times:
Regulatory changes: Bank of America isn't alone here. Sweeping changes still being hammered out in Congress could have a significant impact on the banking and securities industries.
Holding more cash: In an attempt to keep more banks from failing, lawmakers will likely insist that banks hold on to more money (instead of lending out or investing that cash). That will eat into Bank of America's ability to make money.
Consumer protection: Also, there are consumer protection proposals afoot that would hurt profits at Bank of America's credit-card and business-banking units, the Times reports.
Trading units: The bank may also have to spin off some of its trading units -- although this is certainly very much up in the air at this point. The Times reports that Bank of America made $5.2 billion from trading (about 16% of its revenue) in just the first quarter.
Derivatives: And the bank's notional derivatives portfolio is around $70 trillion, of which $1.5 trillion is at risk, the Times reports. The bank would have to stop trading derivatives for its own gain and for clients if some proposals in the financial reform bill make it into law.
Investment banking: Setting aside all the proposed changes, Bove took a look at Bank of America's investment banking unit and pronounced it "weak."
Bove was able to dig up something positive, although it's not something the bank can take credit for. The economy will continue to recover, he notes, and that will help cut losses in Bank of America's massive home loan department.
For what it's worth, Bove still has a buy rating on the stock (largely because there's a $8 difference between its current value and his target price.)

Reconciling Modern Biblical Scholarship With Traditional Orthodox Belief
Who wrote the Torah? An unlikely group of Orthodox scholars has launched a website that gets to the heart of Jewish tenets.
"Virtually all of the stories in the Torah are ahistorical," declares a manifesto posted in July on TheTorah.com. "Given the data to which modern historians have access," the essay explains, "it is impossible to regard the accounts of mass Exodus from Egypt, the wilderness experience or the coordinated, swift, and complete conquest of the entire land of Canaan under Joshua as historical." Not only did the events in the Garden of Eden and the Flood of Noah never transpire, readers are informed, but "Abraham and Sarah are folkloristic characters; factually speaking, they are not my ancestors or anyone else's."
Such sweeping sentiments might be expected from an academic scholar, or perhaps a critic of fundamentalist religion. But the author of this manifesto is an Orthodox rabbi named Zev Farber. The essay, and much of the work of TheTorah.com, is an attempt by dissident Orthodox rabbis and professors to reconcile the findings of modern biblical scholarship with traditional Jewish belief.
This project is not new, but it has bedeviled American Jewry in different ways. Within liberal denominations, while some intellectuals and theologians have grappled with the questions posed by the field of biblical criticism—which sees the Torah as a man-made, composite work produced over time, rather than simply revealed to Moses by God at Sinai—the results have rarely filtered down to synagogue congregants and day-school pupils. Within Orthodoxy, meanwhile, the findings of academia have often met with outright rejection.
By launching TheTorah.com, Rabbi David Steinberg—a former outreach rabbi for the ultra-Orthodox organization Aish HaTorah—and Brandeis Bible professor Marc Brettler, also an Orthodox Jew, set out to challenge this state of affairs, provoking significant controversy within their own community.
A furor over a website might seem like a distinctly modern phenomenon. But in fact this dispute over the Bible is only the latest incarnation of a very old debate—one that traces back centuries in Jewish thought and goes to the heart of Jewish self-definition and belief.
"The eighth fundamental principle [of faith] is that the Torah came from God," wrote Maimonides over 800 years ago in his classic exposition of the 13 tenets of Jewish belief. "We are to believe that the whole Torah was given us through Moses our teacher entirely from God." In the next principle, he elaborated: "The ninth fundamental principle is the authenticity of the Torah, i.e., that this Torah was precisely transcribed from God and no one else."
Few thinkers match Maimonides' intellectual stature in Jewish tradition, and his principles of faith are generally considered canonical. But commentators long recognized numerous difficulties in the text of the Torah and parted ways from Maimonides in attempting to explain them. For instance, the Talmud itself records a dispute over whether Moses actually wrote the final verses of the Torah, which describe his death, or whether his successor Joshua did—and some biblical commentators side with the latter approach. Abraham ibn Ezra, the distinguished 12th-century biblical exegete, went further and argued that several Torah verses beyond the last ones had to be post-Mosaic additions. Because these verses seemed to be written from the vantage point of someone living long after the events they describe, ibn Ezra reasoned, they must have been added by a later prophet.
Even more radically, Rabbi Yehuda he-Hasid, the leading 13th-century German-Jewish pietist, claimed that entire passages in the Pentateuch had been inserted by subsequent authors. The suggestion was so scandalous that some declared those portions of he-Hasid's writings to be heretical forgeries. The controversy highlighted a tension between two exegetical impulses: the desire to preserve the Maimonidean notion of revelation, and the drive to explain the Torah's textual anomalies.
Other conundrums also puzzled traditional commentators. For example, Genesis opens with two ostensibly conflicting stories of the world's creation and then seems to offer two entangled accounts of Noah's flood. The book of Deuteronomy retells the story of the Israelites' sojourn in the wilderness but often departs from the earlier biblical narrative. Cognizant of these and other problems, the midrash and medieval interpreters worked to resolve them within the traditional framework of unified Mosaic authorship, with only occasional deviations like those above.
But in the 19th-century German academy, these ancient questions got some startling new answers. Building off earlier work by Thomas Hobbes, Benedict Spinoza, and more recent contemporaries, Protestant scholars like Karl Heinrich Graf and Julius Wellhausen offered a radical reimagining of the origins of the Pentateuch. In their account, the reason the Torah seemed to contain retrospective insertions, internal contradictions, and duplicate narratives of key stories and laws was that it was the product of multiple authors over time. Rather than the record of a single revelation at Sinai, the five books of Moses, they asserted, were written long after their namesake's lifetime—if, indeed, such an individual had even existed—and later woven into a whole from disparate documents.
The response from Jewish scholars to this "higher criticism" was largely rejectionist. "We believe that the whole Bible is true, holy, and of divine origin," wrote Rabbi David Tzvi Hoffmann, a leading Orthodox academic and head of the Berlin Rabbinical Seminary, in 1905. "We must not presume to set ourselves up as critics of the author of a biblical text or doubt the truth of his statements or question the correctness of his teaching." To buttress his argument, Hoffmann penned a two-volume refutation of the Graf-Wellhausen Hypothesis drawing on his vast secular and religious learning, as well as an entire biblical commentary significantly devoted to demonstrating the unitary nature of the Torah.
While some Reform thinkers like Abraham Geiger and Leopold Zunz accepted the conclusions of the German academy, leading forerunners of Conservative Judaism like Zechariah Frankel did not. Thus, Louis Ginzberg, the Jewish Theological Seminary's premier Talmudist, wrote glowingly of Hoffmann's critique of German biblical scholarship. "Hoffmann was prepared to receive and welcome the fullest light of the new learning," Ginzberg recounted in his 1928 memoir, "but he refused to be dragged at the wheels of those who would make of the work of God a book partly myth, partly dishonest legend, deliberate fabrications, containing history which is not history, and a code of laws made a thousand years after the time of Moses."
Most famously, Solomon Schechter, the founding father of Conservative Judaism in America, delivered an impassioned 1903 address titled "Higher Criticism—Higher Anti-Semitism." He did not mince words. "The Bible is our sole raison d'être, and it is just this which the Higher anti-Semitism is seeking to destroy, denying all our claims for the past, and leaving us without hope for the future," he declared. "Can any section among us afford to concede to this professorial and imperial anti-Semitism and confess … we have lived on false pretenses and were the worst shams in the world?"
Schechter had a point about prejudice. Many German critics were not disinterested academics, seeking a purely historical reconstruction of Jewish history and its central text. On the contrary, the biblical scholarship of Hoffmann and Schechter's day was shot through with anti-Semitic conceptions of Jews and Judaism. Ancient Israelites were often portrayed as illiterate, legalistic, and backward, in pointed contrast to enlightened Christians. The "Old Testament" was viewed as a necessary but outmoded precursor to Christianity at best, and as a primitive artifact to be scorned and discarded at worst. As Schechter observed, by denigrating the Jewish past, such scholarship served to justify the denigration of Jews in the present. (Tellingly, scholars have found affinities between this scholarship and later Nazi biblical exegesis.)
Much of the Jewish scholarly elite rallied around Hoffmann and Schechter, rejecting the claims of the German academy. But over time, the Bible critics corrected their theories in response to Hoffmann's critique of their substance and Schechter's critique of their ideological underpinnings. Slowly but surely, over the course of decades, Jews themselves entered the field and began shaping it on their own. The question then became: How should modern Judaism respond to this fundamental reconception of its origin story?
For most Orthodox Jews, the answer was clear: Higher biblical criticism remained high heresy. The notion that the Bible was not the direct word of God to Moses at Sinai contradicted centuries of Jewish self-understanding. "Accepting the findings of biblical scholarship would represent a complete departure from traditional Jewish thought," wrote Ben Elton, a visiting scholar at New York University, in response to Farber's manifesto at TheTorah.com. "It means rejecting the attitude towards the Torah held by every Jew until Spinoza and every traditional Jew since." Judaism, in this construction, is like a wall—attempting to replace the crucial bricks at its base risks toppling the entire edifice that has been built upon it by generations of biblical commentators, Talmudists, and halakhists. After all, if the Torah did not actually come directly from God, why would its precepts be binding?

HTC One series represented by the HTC One X, One S and One V, the HTC One X is the flagship device with a 4.7-inch display, a quad-core processor and a thin body, while the One S has a similar camera but is a smaller, 4.3-inch Super AMOLED device fitting the mid range. The One V is the most affordable model coming with a 3.7-inch screen. All of them are skinned with the latest of HTC Sense, which is now much more lightweight.
We've got our hands on an HTC One X and found it severs as a good media player – Media on the HTC One X is a great experience. We've moaned about certain aspects of the music and video player before, and while they've not all been addressed, we're still happy that they've at least been evolved. We'll get a big problem out of the way first though: there's no expandable memory card slot on offer here, with HTC ramming in 32GB of storage to compensate. This will probably be enough for most people, but there are those that really love to pack their devices with media, and hate the thought of having to pick and choose because of storage limitations. While there's a wide range of format for playback on offer:
|HTC One X/S/V Supported video formats/file types
|Supported Audio formats
MP3, eAAC+, WMA, WAV
|Supported Video formats
"HTC One X/S/V does not play MKV, AVI, MOV, MTS, M2TS, MKV, TiVo, WMV, MP4, videos…"
When HTC One X/S/V refuses to play a video, it could be due to one or more of the following reasons:
- Unsupported video format (e.g. *.vob format)
- Unsupported codec (e.g. AC3 surround audio)
- Huge file size (e.g. H.264 MP4 video over 4GB)
- High resolution (e.g. 1920×1080 full HD)
- Protections (e.g. iTunes videos, DVD, Blu-ray media)
In order to play all MKV, AVI, WMV, MP4, VOB, M2TS videos on HTC One X/S/V properly, you can convert videos for HTC One X/S/V with Drorsoft All-in-One Blu-ray Ripper before transferring videos to HTC One X/S/V. If you're running Mac, use Drorsoft Blu-ray Ripper for Mac instead. The guide below is written for you to convert and compress 1080p HD videos, DVDs and Blu-rays to HTC One X, as well as its little brothers HTC One S and V.
Guide: convert video AVI, WMV, MP4, VOB, M2TS, MKV to HTC One X/S/V supported format
Step 1: Click "Add Video" to load video source. The Drorsoft Blu-ray/DVD/Video to HTC One X/S/V Converter supports video formats and codec like H.264, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, Xvid, TS, AVI, MP4, WMV, MKV, MOV, TOD, M2TS, MTS, MOD, VOB, TiVo and some other codecs. Press "Load Disc" to import protected movie from DVD or Blu-ray Disc.
Step 2: Select output format for converting video to HTC One X/S/V.
To convert video, DVD and Blu-ray for HTC One X/S/V, click the dropdown list of "Format" and set a HTC One X/S/V supported format. We recommend you to choose "General Video/HD Video > H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Video (.mp4)" as output format and custom the profile for HTC One X/S/V by clicking "Settings" and set video/audio parameters.
Step 3: Convert HD video, DVD and Blu-ray to HTC One X/S/V supported format
Click "Convert" button to start converting MKV, WMV, MP4, VOB, AVI videos, DVD and Blu-ray movies to HTC One X/S/V. After conversion completes click the "Open" button to find the converted files. Now the converted videos can be put and played onto HTC One X/S/V for entertainment.
Transfer/Put videos to HTC One X/S/V
To put videos to HTC One X/S/V, just
1. Connect HTC One X/S/V to computer via USB cable, and you'll receive a notification from the task bar of desktop that the USB is connected. Install the device as it instructed.
2. When the HTC One X/S/V phone is connected as USB storage, the screen will indicate that USB storage is in use and you receive a notification.
3. Slide your fingers down, and touch Turn on USB Storage to confirm that you want to transfer videos/music to HTC One X/S/V.
4. You can now copy videos back and forth. Just open Movies folder and copy videos to HTC One X/S/V.
