GameCast: September 25th at San Francisco
Carlos Zambrano (8-6, 3.91 ERA) vs. Tim Lincecum (14-6, 2.47 ERA)
Ah, Carlos Zambrano. What a shiz-with-a-"z" season you've had. For the second consecutive year, you've thrown under 200 innings -- this year you'll probably top out at around 170. You also, for the second straight year, went winless in August. Not to mention the fact that you have walked more guys this year already than you did in all of last season, despite having tossed 32 fewer innings so far.
In other words, folks, this is not a shining season for Zambrano. And rather than ponder whether or not he will demand a trade, perhaps we should instead be worrying about his inevitable arm injury and whether or not he'll ever have even a single season that justifies his massive contract. My thoughts are that he will, because Carlos Zambrano is just that tough.
But, you know, I could be wrong about that. Still, I do know one thing: the Giants are a tough team, and they are turning to one of their best pitchers tonight. If Carlos wants to avoid any chance of finishing the year with an embarrassing 8-8 record -- a possibility -- then he'll need to hunker down and out-duel an ace tonight.
He actually didn't go winless
He actually didn't go winless in August last year. But August has been a bad month for him the past 3 years now.

CAMDEN, Del. -- Fire Marshals in Delaware are investigating a house fire that broke out early Christmas Morning.
It happened at 2 a.m. in the 3900 block of Peachtree Run. Fire fighters arriving on scene found the home already engulfed in heavy flames, and it took nearly an hour to get under control.
No injuries have been reported -- but the damages are estimated at $75,000.

In a recent interview, Amedeo Felisa offered new details on the next Ferrari Enzo , known as the F70 . According to Felisa, the new Enzo will be launched in 2012 and will be powered by a a direct-injection twin-turbo V8 engine.
He also said that Ferrari will only use carbon fiber for very special models and not for its entire line-up: "We will only use carbonfibre on very special cars which have a very low rate of production and which are not for everyday use, such as the new Enzo." This statement reflects a different opinion than we are used to seeing considering McLaren , Mercedes , and BMW are using, or plan to use, carbon fiber in their vehicles. Obviously, Ferrari isn't one to just go with the pack on anything. Just a couple of days ago, we brought forth news that Ferrari does not intend on breaking tradition and moving towards a four-door vehicle , so it shouldn't surprise us that this situation isn't any different. Ferrari has a very successful mind of their own.
"The fact is that nobody today has a real understanding of what happens if you damage a carbonfibre structure," says Felisa. "After 20 or 30 years of use, who knows what state a carbonfibre structure will be in? Only the airplane industry has a long-term understanding of using carbonfibre, and there the usage is very different. Unless you have a really big accident, it is possible to repair a Ferrari today, and we don't want to lose that."
So, should Ferrari go with the pack and use carbon fiber or do they bring up a valid concern for its usage? Hit us up with your thoughts.

President Obama says Yes We Can to Immigration Reform
April 09, 2009 - Posted by Mario Moreno
Photo by January20th2009
Julia Preston of The New York Times reports that President Obama is planning to move comprehensive immigration reform forward this year:
While acknowledging that the recession makes the political battle more difficult, President Obama plans to begin addressing the country's immigration system this year, including looking for a path for illegal immigrants to become legal, a senior administration official said on Wednesday.
Mr. Obama will frame the new effort — likely to rouse passions on all sides of the highly divisive issue — as "policy reform that controls immigration and makes it an orderly system," said the official, Cecilia Muñoz, deputy assistant to the president and director of intergovernmental affairs in the White House.
Mr. Obama plans to speak publicly about the issue in May, administration officials said, and over the summer he will convene working groups, including lawmakers from both parties and a range of immigration groups, to begin discussing possible legislation for as early as this fall.
The article warns that this will not be an easy ride and that the President needs to feel supported in order to move forward:
The White House is calculating that public support for fixing the immigration system, which is widely acknowledged to be broken, will outweigh opposition from voters who argue that immigrants take jobs from Americans…
Anticipating opposition, Mr. Obama has sought to shift some of the political burden to advocates for immigrants, by encouraging them to build support among voters for when his proposal goes to Congress.
—Obama to Push Immigration Bill as One Priority, April 8, 2009
So you are hearing it straight from the horse's mouth. The President needs your support to prove to Washington that the American public wants a real workable solution to our dysfunctional immigration system. Those who oppose humane immigration reform have shown in the past that they can be a very vocal minority; it is time for Washington to hear our voices and hear that we support a real comprehensive solution that will reduce illegal immigration, respect hardworking immigrant families, and reflect American values of fairness, justice and family unity. Tell the President: Yes you can Count on Me!

450 Students Participated in 2014 Winter Super Saturdays
|Author: Zack Ryle
Date: Wednesday, February 26th, 2014
Rockets were launching, super heroes were finding their voices and scientists were conducting experiments each Saturday in February on WKU's campus.
The Center for Gifted Studies' Winter Super Saturdays hosted 450 first through eighth graders from three states and more than 40 school districts each Saturday from February 1 to 22.
During the program, which took place on WKU's Main and South campuses in Bowling Green and at the Kentucky Science Center in Louisville, students participated in one of 35 classes. Young students could be found learning in Camp Learn –A-Lot and Adventures with Dr. Seuss. Engineering was the focus for students in Bridging the Gap with Bridge Building and Carnival Camp Rides. Scientists of all ages experimented in classes like What's the Matter? Playing with Polymer Chemistry and Rocket Science, while other students explored their creative sides Acting Up (is Fun) and Music, Art and Storytelling.
Though these enrichment courses varied greatly in topic, all encouraged children to explore their interests in a challenging, yet nurturing environment.
To see pictures of this year's Winter Super Saturdays, go online to http://www.flickr.com/photos/giftedstudieswku/collections/72157640397739294/
The hands-on, mind-on learning Super Saturdays is well known for will continue in fall 2014 and winter 2015. For more information, visit our website at www.wku.edu/gifted or contact Zack Ryle at 270-745-3014 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

It's funny how Lamborghini went out of their way to state that the Estoque concept was never going to make the production line, and now they are recoiling and backtracking to announce something that we knew anyway. Guess what everyone; Lamborghini will indeed bring a production version of the Estoque concept sedan unveiled at the 2008 Paris Auto Show. Yes, we know, hold back the shocked expressions and gasps of surprise. In a recent interview, CEO Stephan Winkelmann told reporters in the US that "a third model would fit Lamborghini very well, and a four-door car would be a very feasible approach."
Lamborghini believes that a luxury sedan will help reverse Lamborghini's falling sales. Winkelmann said a third model would need to provide "a real leap" in sales. Well, thanks for the update, Captain Obvious.
Under the hood, the production will likely have something along the lines of the V10 from theGallardo LP 560-4 that produces 560hp. This engine would make it an ideal competitor for the Aston Martin Rapide which only produces 470hp. A production version will be priced in the $200k area and will target models like the Aston Martin Rapide and the Porsche Panamera .

Marijuana Grow Operation
LANESVILLE, Ind. (WHAS11) -- Police in Harrison County, along with the Indiana State Police, are investigating after a chase lead officers to a meth lab and marijuana growing operation in Lanesville.
Indiana State Police said a local agency was engaged in a foot pursuit with two suspects when they were led directly to a growing operation where officers found more than 200 plants and a meth lab on the 3300 block of Crandall-Lanesville Road.
WHAS11's Karma Dickerson is at the scene and said 36-year-old William Berkley lives at the residence and was apparently stealing water from the water company after his was shut off.
Berkley was arrested and is charged with possession of marijuana over 39 grams, cultivating marijuana and maintaining a common nuisance.
The second suspect, Damon Schnellenberger, is still at large.

6 Google+ Positives for Healthcare
Still in beta, Google's latest foray into social networking, Google+, is already generating better buzz than its previous attempt, Google Buzz, and although there are some skeptics, many early adopters are simply gushing about it.
I count myself amongst the skeptics—but then again I always count myself amongst the skeptics. Some years ago, I didn't believe smartphones would be that big a deal, either. And in the early days of Facebook and Twitter, I was guilty of being somewhat dismissive of social media.
I may have finally learned my lesson; you can indeed find me posting about healthcare technology on Google+.
The platform does, in fact, hold promise for healthcare organizations. Just keep in mind that Google+ is still in a limited trial phase and isn't open to commercial accounts yet—although Google promises it will offer additional functionalities for business users eventually.
Here are six reasons I like Google+ for businesses, including healthcare organizations:
Google+ does have a lot of functions that its main competitor does not, although there's no doubt that Facebook will adapt to compete with the new service. Multi-person video chats are just one example—healthcare organizations could use them to conduct small group meetings among remote employees or even as focus groups among patient advisors.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Gienna Shaw (7/25/2011 at 4:19 PM)
Dan[INVALID]agree on all points. Kevin[INVALID]You can add anyone you want to a circle[INVALID]if they do not add you back nothing you send will reach them (much like Facebook). Another solution may be to have patients opt-in[INVALID]they would sign up for one or more of your circles.
Dan Hinmon (7/22/2011 at 10:55 AM)
Bring on the competition! So many of these features could be easily incorporated into Facebook. If nothing else, the entry of the Google+ gorilla will push Facebook even harder to innovate. For now, though, most healthcare marketers are fetter fishing where the fish are (Facebook) than chasing this shiny new object.
Kevin (7/13/2011 at 11:26 AM)
As stated, "The keystone feature Google+ is the ability to sort your contacts into groups" and send "to all patients or only to those who are interested in one particular topic." But what about your contacts' rights to not be included? Maybe that does not matter for social interactions, but if this is going to be used in healthcare, shouldn't it be a two-way street, where both parties agree to be in a "circle"? In other words, a patient may not want to be in your Diabetes circle.

WASHINGTON - The Department of Justice has agreed to brief a congressional committee on the circumstances surrounding US Attorney Carmen Ortiz's prosecution of Aaron Swartz, the Internet activist who committed suicide last month after battling federal hacking charges for two years, officials said Tuesday.
The agreement came a week after the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform sent a letter to the agency calling for more information on the high-profile case. A date for the briefing has not been announced but it could come as soon as next week.

HVAC Air Conditioning - Money & Energy Savings Tips
Look for the ENERGY STAR® certified label when purchasing a new air conditioner to save the most money in energy costs over the life of your unit.
Look for a high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). The current minimum is 13 SEER for central air conditioners. ENERGY STAR® certified air conditioners are a model of 14 SEER or higher.
The cooling fins on the outside of an air conditioner help with the efficiency of cooling. These fins should have a small gap between them and should not be bent for maximum cooling efficiency.
Cooling fins sometimes become bent or closed by being bumped or rubbed up against. Separate the fins with a fin comb, available at most refrigeration parts stores and some building supply stores.
Clean the outside of the unit to remove debris such as leaves, grass, and weeds so it doesn't block the air flow. Be sure to turn off the unit while cleaning.
Vacuum or blow the debris out with a leaf blower, then use a garden hose spray off.
An efficient system is of little use if windows and doors have cracks, allowing outside air to enter while conditioned air escapes.
Use a humidifier to add the correct amount of moisture to indoor air, making it feel comfortable at a lower temperature.
Removing humidity is just as critical to comfort as the temperature setting in the room.
An oversized air conditioner may do a poor job of lowering the humidity because it reaches a cooler temperature setting before the humidity is removed.
In fact, a slightly undersized air conditioner will be just as comfortable - if not more - than an oversized air conditioner.

Hypnosis for Pain
Can the power of suggestion really help you reduce pain, anxiety, and blood pressure? It just might.
WebMD Feature
Reviewed By Gary Vogin
For me, cramming in college wasn't about mastering material before an exam. It was about squeezing in my studies before a migraine knocked me flat. When the fuzziness started creeping into my head, I knew it was just a matter of time. Leaning over my chemistry book, I'd race to memorize before the thumping began. Learning chemical reactions was not an option in my darkened bedroom, hammers whacking the inside of my head for days at a time.
What freed me from those hammers was hypnosis, a practice that people have used for medical purposes for more than a century. In the last several decades, researchers have subjected hypnosis to the scrutiny of clinical trials -- and it has passed with flying colors. It's been successfully used to soothe acute and chronic pain stemming from surgery, cancer, kidney stones, back conditions, and invasive medical and dental procedures. Still, many people who might benefit from the technique don't explore it. For some, hypnosis carries a stigma, perhaps because of the "performer" hypnotists, who make people cluck or moo in front of large audiences.
Fortunately for me, these were not my only associations with the technique. A friend had told me about her success using hypnosis to control pain from Crohn's disease, and I went to see her hypnotherapist. We taped a 10-minute session, and I listened to it every morning and evening. Within a couple of months, my migraines were gone.
"If this were a drug, everyone would be using it," says David Spiegel, MD, a psychiatrist at Stanford University. "Changing your mental set can change what's going on in your body."
"Most patients benefit from the use of hypnotic suggestion for pain relief," says Guy Montgomery, PhD, a behavioral scientist at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. (Montgomery published a meta-analysis on the subject in the April 2, 2000 issue of the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis.)
Tapping the Power of Suggestion
During hypnosis, subjects enter a state of inner absorption, concentration, and focused attention, in which they pick up suggestions particularly well. In this condition, they can tap into normally unused mental powers to create new possibilities of experience. "Hypnosis is simply a refined form of applied imagination," says Donald F. Lynch Jr., MD, a urological oncologist at the Eastern Virginia School of Medicine, who has used the technique to help patients alleviate the pain, anxiety, and depression associated with cancer.
Results from several papers have recently furnished compelling new evidence for the powers of hypnosis. The April 29, 2000, issue of the journal The Lancet reported that hypnosis reduced pain, anxiety, and blood pressure complications in patients undergoing invasive medical procedures. (Hypnosis was compared with standard care and supportive attention, such as encouragement and active listening.) In addition, the procedures took significantly less time in the hypnosis treatment group, probably because the healthcare workers didn't have to interrupt their activities to deal with the patients' pain or to stabilize blood pressure, says Spiegel. Patients in the hypnosis group also required less than half as much painkilling medication as those in the standard group.
Patients most commonly employ the technique in addition to other treatments, but it can also be used by itself. Alexander A. Levitan, MD, MPH, a medical oncologist in Minneapolis, has participated in numerous surgeries, including hysterectomies and tracheostomies, in which hypnosis was used as the sole agent for pain control.
How Does It Work?
No one knows exactly how hypnosis works, but scientists have several ideas. "Hypnosis changes your expectations about how intense the pain will be," says Montgomery. "That alters your experience of the subsequent pain."
Spiegel offers an alternative explanation. "You focus your attention on a competing image that blocks your perception of the pain," he says.
Researchers are currently testing these theories by way of various experimental approaches. Some studies, for example, are documenting the physiological changes that occur under hypnosis. The process activates certain parts of the brain, including the portion that focuses attention. "By concentrating elsewhere, a person inhibits the pain from coming to conscious awareness," says Helen Crawford, an experimental psychologist at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

First trailer.
And that's when I lost my .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% interest in this game.
Saw the gameplay trailer last night. not interested. I always thought the aliens aspect of Crysis was by far my least favorite part so this really looks dumb
Trust me, I do science
My Hardware, Past and Present
One of the reasons I keep a console around is I know lots of friends that only play console games and when they are done with a game, they let me borrow it.
While it is true that some PC games have a CD key that only lets you register to one online account, consoles are a different animal. They are kid friendly and one of the best thing about growing up with nintendo and sony was borrowing my buddies' games and vice versa.
People who make shitty games want to make it impossible for people to get some of their money back from their shitty games. People who make shitty games don't want game retailers to turn a profit from their shitty games by selling used copies for 10% more than the trade in value. In reality, the retailers most likely already lost money on their shitty game because it was shit and most people didn't buy it and they are left with a hundred copies of Modern Battlefield Alien Shooter Simulator II.
The answer for developers is this: Stop making shitty, rehashed, cliche, unintuitive, dull, boring, lackluster, campy, rushed, clones of shit games. Case in point: Crysis 2
^^^Yeah, Crysis 2 kind of sucked imo. I'm glad I only paid about $10 for it. I'd have been PISSED if I spent $60 on it. Then again, I'll never spend $60 for a game so....
I'm sure they will try to kill the used game market with the next gen consoles.
If you enjoy gaming click here to learn about the Fragging Frogs.
[Proudly using only AMD desktop CPUs since 1996 and now also GPUs in 2014 - Thanks AMD!!]
My Rigs - My Upgrade History - My Games
As for used game sales, if you're going to disqualify any interest in Crysis 3 just because some dude at Crytek hates used game sales, then I think you'll never be buying a game ever again because I'm sure every developer on the planet would rather you buy it new from them.
As for the next Xbox and PlayStation 4, I doubt they'll lock out used games. My points:
A - Profiles on the current consoles are super janky. I have a buddy who can't access some DLC because some game only allowed you to download free DLC to one console. You hear stories, dudes can't re-activate their XBL profile on a different console, the XBL gamerscores randomly disappear. I don't think Microsoft (or Sony) could assure a flawless way to get your games to play on a new console if you upgraded to a slimmer Xbox 9000 in 2017.
B - The new consoles won't be digital-only because a third of America doesn't have broadband internet and even then, there are people who don't use credit cards and will buy everything for cash at GameStop. So, if they locked out used disc-based games from playing on consoles, they would immediately get hit with tons of class action lawsuits. This used game sales problem will eventually solve itself when the PlayStation 5 and whatever Xbox brain implant are digital only, but in the mean time, Sony and Microsoft and the publishers have no reason to open themselves up to legal troubles and costly class action settlements.
C - The new consoles won't be about gaming. Every new announcement Microsoft and Sony make are "Hulu Plus coming to Xbox" "Netflix coming to Xbox" "Netflix for Xbox gets new client!" "ESPN360 for Xbox" "BBC iPlayer for Xbox" etc. etc. These consoles are audio-visual multimedia hubs, and, I think the gaming is a secondary consideration for the platform holders now. MS and Sony are willing to loose the $10 licensing fee they get from every new game sale, because they are probably going to have all sorts of mechanisms in place to make tons of cash on non-game stuff on the new consoles. The video rentals, the music rentals, the whatevers.
Nobody asked, but that's why I don't think the new consoles will lockout used games.
I've been having some error issues with Crysis 3.

Key Insights On Prescribing Orthoses For Dress Shoes And Sandals
- Volume 17 - Issue 8 - August 2004
- 12514 reads
- 0 comments
For Dr. Huppin, orthotic sandals are an option when patients wear regular orthotics less frequently in warmer weather. He uses Bite® sandals, noting the orthoses are made to fit perfectly. The orthoses can be removed for adjustment and patients can move the orthotics into other sandals, according to Dr. Huppin.
"In our practice, we find that patients love the sandals," notes Dr. Huppin. "They help provide better clinical outcomes and offer a boost to the bottom line of the practice as well."
Dr. Williams is a strong proponent of using newer orthotic sandals, which allow patients to fit their own custom devices into the sandals as opposed to using devices that are built into the sandal's shoe last. He says both he and his patients find the freedom of such sandals "refreshing" and the more choices in sandals that women have, the more likely they are to wear the orthotics. Patients who cannot afford another pair of orthotics can buy sandals from Dr. Williams or another shoe store.
Q: How do you change your orthotic prescription for sandals relative to shoes?
A: Dr. Huppin says orthotics in sandals usually provide less control than in shoes due to the lack of a heel counter in sandals and some limitations in the size of the orthoses in the sandals. The size of sandal insoles likewise limits the depth of the heel cup and he notes deep heel cups or orthoses with a medial flange will not fit into most sandals.
"This should not limit your use of orthotic sandals, but both the physician and patient should be aware that there will usually be less control so patients will need to adjust their activity accordingly,"explains Dr. Huppin.
However, as Dr. White argues, sandals offer greater width for increased support and more depth for increased cushioning. For sandals to be compatible with orthotics, he says sandals must have a removable footbed that one can replace with the custom orthotic. Dr. White says this will permit the use of full-length devices as opposed to using devices that typically end proximal to the metatarsal heads in a dress shoe.
Dr. Huppin also notes that sandals lack heel counters, which may cause eversion of the calcaneus. In turn, this may result in increased force under the medial arch, leading to an increased probability of arch irritation in a sandal orthosis compared to an orthosis in a shoe. When prescribing sandal orthoses, Dr. Huppin says one can prevent arch irritation by using a standard rather than minimum cast fill and avoiding an inversion technique.
If you use a medial heel skive in sandal orthoses, Dr. Huppin suggests limiting it to a maximum of 4 mm. As he explains, with a larger skive, there is more potential for the foot to slide off the orthosis, causing the lateral edge of the heel cup to irritate the foot.
If it was a shoe, one could use a deeper heel cup to compensate for this, according to Dr. Huppin. However, since heel cups in sandals are limited to about 14 mm, Dr. Huppin says one should avoid using medial heel skives larger than 4 mm.
On a rare occasion, Dr. Williams will decrease a heel lift in a sandal but as long as the sandal will accommodate the custom orthotic, he says he would not alter his prescription.
Dr. White is a Diplomate of the American Board of Podiatric Orthopedics and Primary Podiatric Medicine.
Dr. Williams is in private practice in Indiana. He is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine and a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. He is a consultant to Tekscan.
Dr. Huppin is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Biomechanics at the California School of Podiatric Medicine at Samuel Merritt College. He is also the Medical Director for ProLab Orthotics. Dr. Huppin can be reached at email@example.com.

In any case where a vessel of the United States is seized by a foreign country under the conditions of section 1972 of this title and a fine, license fee, registration fee, or any other direct charge must be paid in order to secure the prompt release of the vessel and crew, the owners of the vessel shall be reimbursed by the Secretary of State in the amount determined and certified by him as being the amount of the fine, license fee, registration fee, or any other direct charge actually paid. For purposes of this section, the term "other direct charge" means any levy, however characterized or computed (including, but not limited to, any computation based on the value of a vessel or the value of fish or other property on board a vessel), which is imposed in addition to any fine, license fee, or registration fee.

The amount of reimbursement made by the Secretary of State to the owners of any vessel under subsection (a) of this section shall constitute a lien on the vessel which may be recovered in proceedings by libel in rem in the district court of the United States for any district within which the vessel may be. Any such lien shall terminate on the ninetieth day after the date on which the Secretary of State reimburses the owners under this section unless before such ninetieth day the United States initiates action to enforce the lien.

A fire broke out at an elderly housing complex in Pawtucket early Thursday morning.
Fire crews responded to Burns Manor on Park Street in Pawtucket around 5:45 a.m.
The fire was relatively small but did result in one man in his 60's being transported to RI Hospital for burn injuries.
Robert Hokanson's mother lives in the apartment above the unit that caught fire. "It scared the heck out of me a lot," said Hokanson, "I thank God I say my prayers everyday, I take care of my mother over here you know, because she's elderly."
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Nice too bad cant use this cuz no untethered jailbreak but thanks anyways :P
Yeah I wondered why the heck they decided to separate those. If I ever JB again I might use this, but as of right now I probably won't JB my 3GS again. I may try it whenever I get a 4S if an untethered solution is out by then.
I never understood the seperation reason either. I am glad I can have my iPod icon back.
from what i understood, they're reasoning for separating it because it was blurring the line between ipod and iphone. they didn't want something that said "ipod" on the iphone. still a really stupid decision in my eyes, if anything just rename it to "media" instead of separating...
Its always been like this on the iPod Touches.
Brilliant!! I love these little tweaks the community comes up with!
whats the source for it? its not showing up for me in cydia :/
I remember seeing a tweak to unify iPT's apps a long time ago, and I was hoping an iOS5 version would be released. Thank you so much for the heads up!
Love it. Can't stand the separated apps. Although its minor i like everything to be together.
sweet thanks i got it!
Anyway. My 4s has separate apps but I still have my videos in the songs section, anyone else?
No winter board? Sweet
I really don't care if the music and video is combined. My real concern about the music app on iOS 5 is it's not as fast and responsive as it was on iOS 4.
Why on earth they split this to begin with is beyond me. More un-deletable BS to clutter my screen.
Thanks Josh for pointing this out. It is the most annoying change made in IOS5. Thanks I Beat Daily for this new app.
The separation is sooo simple, as daft as this may sound: if you have an iPhone that has a built-in "iPod" then you will probably think "I don't need an iPod, I already have one". However, if you remove the "iPod" from your iPhone then perhaps you will still buy another iPod.
I know it sounds daft, but I bet that's why :-)
I'm not that fussed about whether music and videos are together or separate, but I'm glad that the people who care can choose the option they want. As we know, Apple doesn't like you to have options that they haven't approved.
But what I think is really dumb about this tweak is that it has reproduced Apple's original mistake of creating a meaningless "iPod" icon.
My iPhone 4 *is* my iPod (I've not owned any previous iDevice). It makes no sense while using my "iPod" to press a button to start up an "iPod" app. Also, it was hubris on the part of Apple to assume a UI metaphor based on an icon image of one of their obsolete hardware products would be meaningful to Apple users. Worse, the metaphor fails anyway, because the icon implies that is going to start up an emulation of an old-style iPod, which of course it doesn't ("what happened to the click wheel?" :-).

Aviation Security:
Efforts to Measure Effectiveness and Strengthen Security Programs

Commercial aviation has been a long-standing target for terrorists. Since the tragic attacts of September 11, 2001, substantial changes have been made to enhance security--including the creation of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the federalization of the passenger screener workforce. However, despite these changes, vulnerabilities in aviation security continue to exist. Accordingly, GAO was asked to describe TSA's efforts to (1) measure the effectiveness of its aviation security initiatives, (2) strengthen its passenger screening program, and (3) address additional challenges in further enhancing aviation security.
TSA has implemented numerous initiatives designed to enhance aviation security, but has collected limited information on the effectiveness of these initiatives in protecting commercial aircraft. Our recent work on passenger screening found that little testing or other data exist that measure the performance of screeners in detecting threat objects. However, TSA is taking steps to collect additional data, including developing a 5-year performance plan detailing numerous performance measures, as well as fielding the Threat Image Projection system and increasing screener testing. In addition to collecting performance data, TSA could further strengthen passenger screening by fully deploying recurrent and supervisory training programs, determining the appropriate levels of screeners at the nation's airports, and improving oversight of the contract screener pilot program. Although TSA has developed and deployed basic and remedial training programs, it has not fully developed or deployed recurrent or supervisory training programs. In addition, TSA acknowledged that its initial staffing efforts created imbalances at the nation's airports, and that it has taken limited action to assess the performance of the pilot airports using private, versus federal, screeners. TSA is undertaking a number of actions to address these concerns, including strengthening its training program and awarding contracts to assess its staffing model and the performance of the contract pilot airports. TSA faces a number of other challenges as it continues to enhance aviation security. Significant challenges include implementing the Computer-Assisted Passenger Prescreening System (CAPPS II), as well as strengthening baggage screening, airport perimeter and access controls, and air cargo and general aviation security. In implementing CAPPS II, TSA must ensure it addresses concerns surrounding travelers' privacy rights, the accuracy of databases used by CAPPS II, and obtaining international cooperation needed for the system to be fully operational. Additional challenges include integrating explosive detection systems into airport's in-line baggage handling systems, identifying cost-effective perimeter security technologies, effectively targeting air cargo for screening, and improving security at general aviation airports. Further, TSA faces challenges in funding increased aviation security measures and ensuring that these costs are controlled.

TEAMtalk columnist Danny Mills insists England should not rest tired players against Sweden as his delivers his latest bulletin from Euro 2012.
Hi everyone, Danny here checking in from Wroclaw - I was at the Czech Republic v Greece game on Tuesday night. You can hear my thoughts on the tournament every morning on Sky Sports News Radio.
Have a read and leave a Comment below.
Travel trouble
I'm still in Wroclaw at the moment. Travel arrangements out here aren't exactly fantastic, as I'm sure any travelling England or Irish fans have found out. Transport is a little sporadic and intermittent. Hopefully I can find some way of getting to a game this evening!
It's not too bad once you're in a major town. It's a little bit of a throwback if you like, what with most of this country having been rebuilt after the Second World War. They have buses and trams which are very efficient, but it's getting in between towns which is difficult - you've either got to take two or three flights, or take a train journey. If you get on the wrong train, you're in trouble. We had the option the other day of getting the fast train which is three hours, or the slow train which is 11 hours!
The language barrier isn't easy either. You can try and sound out words, but as there's lot of 'cs' and 'zs' nothing really reads as you would sound it out! There are complications but I can't complain as I'm watching some fantastic football.
Greek tragedy
Tuesday's Group A clash in Wroclaw was a game that the Czechs had to win. They came out in the first six minutes and went 2-0 up and Greece looked dead and buried.
Coming into this tournament, the Greeks had been absolutely superb defensively. Up until Tuesday night, they'd only lost one in 22 matches. I don't care who you're playing - at international level, that is fantastic.
Greece had a major problem with Avraam Papadopoulos getting injured in the first game and Sokratis Papastathopoulos banned. They had a makeshift defensive pairing and that was really evident. They didn't give up though, and with Petr Cech making a horrendous mistake, it nearly cost the Czechs.
Party time in Poland
With Poland playing Russia, Wroclaw on Tuesday night was incredible. The only restaurants you could get a place in were those without TVs! It was a fantastic atmosphere when Poland equalised, absolute madness in fact, with Poland fans celebrating as if they'd won the tournament. Fortunately there was no trouble at all where I was.
I don't think Russia will have enough to win the tournament. They might get a favourable draw to the semi-finals but I don't seem them going further.
On Tuesday night, Poland really showed their battling qualities and it's set up now for the final round of matches in Group A. All the teams still have a chance to qualify, although it looks tough for Greece.
I'll be here in Wroclaw for Poland v Czech Republic on Saturday - an elimination game for both teams, a massive game with a lot on it and it should be a fantastic occasion.
Carnage in Group of Death
You could have Holland and Portugal both going out on Wednesday night so we're all set for another exciting night.
We've already seen signs of infighting in the Dutch camp. Nigel De Jong has had a bit of a pop at Mark van Bommel. When you're married to the manager's daughter like van Bommel is, you will get some special treatment! But we've seen this before - once things go wrong in the Dutch camp, they tend to implode.
As for Denmark, speaking to Jan Molby, he says expectations back home are very low. They keep the same manager, the same system, and they go into tournaments staying very realistic - they don't get carried away if they have a fantastic win, and they don't get downheartened if they lose. I think England could learn a lot from that.
England fatigue
Looking ahead to the England v Sweden game now, and I think you've got to go out and play your strongest team no matter what.
If you're making changes because players have injuries and aren't 100% fit, fine. But if you're doing it because you fear they're tired, that's not a good idea.
You have to accept it's the same for all teams. A three or four day break between games should be enough; we see it all the time during the club season.
Players have to look after themselves. They're in the swimming pool winding down, and they won't be doing a lot of training. Part of it is down to adrenalin and the fact of where they are, representing their country at one of the highest levels possible.
Sweden certainly won't be an easy game. The sides are matched up pretty well. The only difference really is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who (in his own words) is the special one, the world's greatest player! England will have to watch him, so I don't think there's any chance of leaving anyone out.
It's very difficult to relax after a game like the France one. You never really sleep because the adrenalin is still pumping. You can go for a jog, have a loosener, or even try and have a kickabout. The players can do what they like - rest in their rooms, play table tennis or pool, watch videos. It's all about recovery - keep moving, get out and about, as staying occupied is best.
I remember when we beat Argentina at World Cup 2002... you wake up the next morning and unfortunately it's gone already! You're already looking to the next game, and planning for that, trying to get your body back in the best shape possible, ready to go again.
Most players are experienced, plus Gary Lewin, Dave Hancock and all the physio staff are the best around. They know exactly what they're doing.
Redknapp rumours
I was with some of the press out here, and when the story came out on Twitter, the big journalists were dubious. But the snowball effect started, then Harry came out with a denial and all of a sudden, it's being brought to a head.
It always seems to be definites with Redknapp - you have to be a little careful with what he says.
Clearly there's an issue. Harry was disappointed he didn't get the England job, and maybe he wants a big contract.
