For more than a century, if there is one thing the Chicago Auto Show does better than any other, it is to bring consumers and cars together. And thanks to great deals from manufacturers, a reenergized appreciation of new cars and technology, pent-up demand-and some cooperation from Mother Nature-dealers around Chicago are experiencing a dramatic post-show bump in sales.
Consumer voters proclaimed their favorites in five categories in the Chicago Auto Show's sixth annual "Best of Show" balloting. In voting conducted over the 10-day public run of the nation's biggest auto show, winners in the contest's five categories were

They look like huge insects that feed on wind to move along deserted Dutch beaches, but in reality these creatures are the result of more than twenty years of work by the engineer and kinetic artist Theo Jansen. These are the Strandbeest - Literally animals from the beach - they consist of intricate networks of sticks, bottles, and plastic canvas. They move when the wind blows and they move with an awesome life of their own.
Born of Jansen's ingenuity in 1990, the self-propelling Strandbeest have been evolving ever since. Balancing somewhere between the worlds of art and engineering, the Strandbeesten are waiting to be released onto the sand, to dominate the windy beaches of the planet. What a thrill it would be to encounter one of them in person.

Senate race? What Senate race?
My AJC colleague Daniel Malloy, who never stops working, just finished up an interview with U.S. Rep. Tom Price – his first since that race for U.S. House conference chairman. The Roswell Republican lost to Cathy McMorris-Rodgers of Washington state, who was backed by House Speaker John Boehner.
Writes Malloy:
I asked Price if he had given any thought to running for Senate.
"No, it's completely premature at this point to even consider that," he replied.
Asked about his path in the next Congress, after losing his bid for Republican Conference Chair, Price said he would focus on work in the Budget and Ways and Means committees — both of which will be active in spending and tax battles.
"You don't have to be the leader to lead," he said. "And so we'll continue to lead as we're able in our conference to move us in a positive direction."
But as far as challenging Republican incumbent Saxby Chambliss is concerned, note that Price didn't say no.

Price is right that it is too early to think about running. If Saxby sticks by his pledge to not raise taxes then he is re elected. If he does not then Price (or almost any other conservative Republican in this state) will run against him and send him to retirement.

Saxby is currently doing what the will of the conservative people want him to do in Georgia. Dems might as well not even run for the Senate in two years because they are not going to win.
November 27th, 2012
4:46 pm
The GOP just needs to get behind the Libertarian Party candidate, whomever that is, and dump the whole lot of currently kicked around losers that are considering replacing Saxby. All of these guys are as big government, warmongering, pro-Federal Reserve, pro drug war as Saxby, and this country certainly doesn't need any more of that. We need a complete transformation in this country, and the GOP can either lead the way or go the way of the Whigs and the Federalists. The more they talk about blowing off their anti-tax pledge, the more their support slips further away. People want principles and consistency. You only need to put Romney up against those two words to understand why he lost. Currently there is no major party that supports freedom, liberty, civil rights, the constitution, the rule of law, or small government.

I am not a great Saxby fan but Tom Price has no respect from me. He is for the wealthy only. He does not care about seniors; he does not care about the little guy; and a long walk off a short pier is what he needs to do.
November 28th, 2012
5:37 am
In "Through-the-Looking-Glass" Republican speak, "positive direction" must mean "reverse"; although one would think that even using the word "positive" within the party of negativity and hostility could prove disqualifying. Maybe Rep. Price should run that word by arch-spinmeister Luntz before uttering it again.

I hope Rep. Broun (Athens) runs, it will be fun watching him push the discussion to the "Pit of Hell". If he is successful in getting the rest of the GOP field to cozy up to his crazy beliefs, it could make it possible for a Dem to take the seat. All he needs is one big-money donor and it could happen.

Price or Chambliss, either or as far as I'm concerned, neither represent my views. What I want to know is who gerrymandered the 6th District to include the part of Northwest DeKalb County that I live in? Price lost two or so to one to a fairly unknown Democrat, who did almost no advertising, in the DeKalb precincts. So the right Democratic candidate and some crazy talk from the doctor and who knows.

Saxby would be only a memory had black people in 2008 participated in the run off with Jim Martin. Once Obama won, they just didn't care enough. Saxby thought it was going to be a cake walk, and he ended up spending a whole bunch of money. I just wish Democrats could find someone viable to run against him in 2 years.
November 28th, 2012
10:06 am
The only viable Democrat to run against Saxby would be either Mayor Reed or John Barrow. Reed has already said he's running for Mayor again. But I can't see Barrow running when that means essentially giving up that House seat to Republicans. I would assume the national Democrats want Barrow right where he is for the moment, and will need him to run again for House in 2014 to try and help maintain some of their minority, which is guaranteed to shrink during that election. I guess they could try to trot out Roy Barnes, but he lost the last two statewide races he contested, and besides even if he won he'd likely only be around one term (getting up there in age).

couples making more than 250000 after all deductions etc, get the same tax cut everyone else does (who pay taxes) under obama plan. they will only pay higher rate on marginal income over that. i wonder if folks understand that.
November 28th, 2012
10:24 am
Sorry but I don't buy Price's "it too premature" comment. If he intends to run against Chambliss in 2014,he's already got plans, however tentative they may be, in the works. You don't wake up January 1, 2014 and decide to run for Senator when all your prior experience has been more local.
He's not sharing. I won't call him a liar but he's not telling the entire truth. Which is par for the course for him. He's opposed to the Affordable Health Care Act because he doesn't want to annoy his "owners" in the insurance industry.
Price needs to go. He's the representative for the district where I live and I would not vote for him to be dog catcher.

Nadine Coyle is apparently delaying the reunion of Girls Aloud because of her own solo album, it has been reported.
While other members of the British pop band are keen to start recording together in the near fuure, Nadine is said to be caught up with her own project.
"The Girls are getting frustrated waiting around to see what she is planning to do. There is no way Nadine is going to leave the band - despite the ill feeling, it wouldn't be in her interests to quit," a source tells the Daily Mirror.

As I peruse the social spaces I love to highlight stylists who are really capitalizing by using social media to grow their personal brands….and Nick Shatarah is one of those stylists. From his blog that explores his editorial work, to his professional Facebook page that highlights the day-to-day life of a stylist, to his candid Instagram account (he certainly is a Style Sync #fotohefe!), he's mastered the social branding side of the biz.
I recently had the opportunity to chat with Nick to get his perspective on using social media to grow his brand - and wanted to share his journey with all of you. So, here we go…
Your journey has been an incredible - what's the most exciting thing you've done recently?
This is such a hard question because every week it's something thing different! From NYFW or editorial magazine shoots it's always something new and exciting. For me it's the challenge of doing something different that keeps me going – and knowing someone can open up a magazine and see my work is simply the most exciting feeling I can have!
Tell us about participating in NYFW.
NYFW is always a journey in pushing myself to create fashion forward hair that doesn't over shadow the designers, yet complements their work. Our clients in the salon depend on us to keep them in the loop in what's new in fashion – what better way than to experience it first hand at fashion week, right?
I love the editorial work you've been doing. Tell me how you're promoting your personal brand through social.
As much as I am in the salon, I am an artist outside the salon. Branding myself as an editorial stylist was – and continues to be very important to me. I started with my own website, logo and business cards for my session work. To me that was saying I am more then the guy who works behind the chair – I'm also an artist who can achieve styling on the editorial side. I also started leveraging many different social media outlets from Facebook and Tumblr to Hairbrained.me, YouTube and Twitter. There's no doubt that social media had helped take my personal brand to the next level.
How do you keep your social media content hip, current and relevant?
I think between fashion week and young Hollywood it's easy to always stay current. Social is all about tapping in to the younger clientele for me and knowing what they want their hair, or style to represent. When I blog or create a new YouTube video, I always try to put myself in their shoes …What to THEY want to see on my social channels? How can I make styling their look easy for them? This alone has helped me become a stronger stylist in many aspects of my craft.

There are a lot of ways to put music in and around your house. Yamaha wants to squeeze its micro component lineup into some of those smaller spaces by adding a new model with new features.
The MCR-N560 is a PianoCraft series micro component system designed with the music lover in mind. It can play your old CD collection and favorite FM radio stations. However, it also adds in plenty of digital options—and makes them sound good.
Yamaha says that the newly announced MCR-N560 has high-resolution audio FLAC/WAV 192 kHz/24-bit signal compatibility. It can also be added to your home network, where it will snag songs from connected hard drives and mobile devices.
Other features include Yamaha's Vibration Control Cabinet Structure technology, access to thousands of web-based radio stations, DLNA and AirPlay support for wireless streaming, and the option to use Yamaha's Network Player Controller app for iOS and Android devices. If wireless isn't an option, the MCR-N560 also has a front-panel USB port, as well as digital optical and coaxial inputs.
Yamaha is selling the MCR-N560 now, with an MSRP of $649.95. The main unit (CRX-N560) is also available for $499.95, if you want to pair it with other speakers. The system even has a few optional accessories, including the YWA-10 Wi-Fi adapter ($99.95) and the YBA-11 Bluetooth wireless technology audio receiver ($69.95).

Don't Ask Me, I'm Just A Girl
Cris Cohen | Jan 25, 2013 | Comments 1
In the offseason, the New York Rangers put out the word that they were looking for fans to generate content for their blueshirtsunited.com site.
Friday afternoon, the debut of that content got off to a start almost as ignominious as the team's start to the season with a submission entitled, "A Girl's Guide To Watching The Rangers".
The article started out innocuous enough, with the writer, Mirna Mandil, mentioning her disinterest in a football game that was on television while she was at a gathering. Fair enough, it's not everyone's cup of tea.
The third paragraph turned to the male obsession with the Rangers:
And if you live in New York and have one of the aforementioned male figures in your life, then chances are you can't avoid their obsession with the Rangers. The fact that every single one of the guys watching this football game was wearing a Rangers jersey is a true testament to the loyalty of a Rangers fan. It's not just a phase. It's not just an obsession. It's a Rangers lifestyle.
I can get on board with that. I went to a Super Bowl party last year in my Rangers jersey because I went there straight from a game at Madison Square Garden. I wear Rangers items year-round. But wait, did she say this "lifestyle" is a guy thing? Huh …
The fourth paragraph then began with the sentence:
News of the NHL lockout's end caused as much excitement in the male world as a 70 percent off sale does in a woman's.
Hooo boy. I got as excited about the end of the lockout as I would about a 70% off sale. Actually, probably moreso. Is that not allowed because I have two X chromosomes? Can I only get excited about one? Where does that leave me? Which do I choose?
Negative comments on the site and Twitter ridicule led to the removal of the article and a deletion of the tweet containing the link.
Look, all of us who either play the game or sit on the sidelines and cheer for a team had to learn the nuances of the game somehow. I fell in love with the sport of hockey (and the Rangers) because my grandfather would watch them on Channel 9 when I'd go to my grandparents' home for Saturday night dinner. I didn't care if I had no clue what icing or offsides were, I just picked it up as I watched. There's nothing wrong with someone asking what's happening. Had this article been entitled something like "Rangers For Dummies" or "The Non-Indoctrinated's Guide To Watching The Rangers," the reaction today might not have been so angry. Once gender came into play – and what amounted to the pigeonholing of women as utterly clueless about sports (in this case by a female) – it became a whole different ball – er, hockey game.
Personally, I've been pretty fortunate to be taken seriously as a fan. Not every woman is though. Intentional or not, articles like this one written by Ms. Mandil and things such as "While The Men Play" that the CBC subjected the world to last spring and Cosmopolitan's "hot hockey players list" that just recently came out play into perpetuating stereotype that women who hang around the sport are nothing more than clueless puck bunnies. It does no favors to the many women out there who love the game and know as much – if not more – than many men out there.
Mysogynistic tone of the article aside I'm still scratching my head as to why the powers that be at blueshirtsunited.com thought publishing it on that site made sense. It's essentially a fansite run by the New York Rangers and if you're going there for content, you probably know what Carl Hagelin is doing with the puck, the difference between Ryan Callahan, Michael Del Zotto and Marc Staal and just who Henrik Lundqvist is and all of his achievements.
On so many levels the New York Rangers completely missed the boat with "A Girl's Guide To Watching The Rangers." From the little girls going to their very first game to the season ticket holders like myself and the women who have the seats next to mine, all of the ladies that support the team deserved better than this.

Preach on! I know plenty of women who know just as much or more about the blueshirts, and hockey in general, as men do. The seats are filled with them. They aren't doing themselves any favors by alienating part of their customer base, especially in light of them already having pissed most of us off already with the lockout.

The burden of musculoskeletal conditions can be reduced through intervention at various points along the disease continuum including prevention, early diagnosis, prompt initiation of treatment, ongoing management and timely access to joint replacement1.
Although some chronic disease risk factors (eg family history, age or sex) are not able to be modified and so cannot be incorporated into prevention strategies, these factors can help to identify people or groups at high risk of developing a disease, enabling a targeted approach2.
- Common chronic disease risk factors
- Risk factors specific to arthritis and osteoporosis
- Early diagnosis, treatment and self management of musculoskeletal conditions
Common chronic disease risk factorsModifiable risk factors, common to all chronic disease include diet, weight, exercise, alcohol intake and smoking. It is important to understand that adopting healthy lifestyle behaviours will reduce the risk of all chronic diseases, including arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions.
Diet, weight and exerciseAdopting a healthy diet is essential for good health and well-being. Eating enough fruit and vegetables lowers the risk of developing chronic diseases. Poor nutrition and diet is linked to heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. These chronic illnesses place an enormous burden on individuals, families and society as a whole. A balanced diet will help to achieve a healthy weight and body. Increasing the intake of calcium and absorption of vitamin D will also assist in reducing the risk of developing arthritis and osteoporosis3.
Taking part in regular physical activity reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure and obesity as well as helping to build and maintain healthy bones, muscles and joints reducing the risk of injury and promoting psychological well-being. In particular, regular exercise not only aids in the prevention of musculoskeletal conditions, it helps to alleviate and reduce joint pain and stiffness and build strong muscle around the joints, and increases flexibility and endurance. Weight-bearing exercise assists in the maintenance of bone mass which helps with preventing osteoporosis.
Achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight is important. Being overweight or obese is a risk factor for most chronic diseases. People who are overweight or obese are at increased risk of arthritis or osteoporosis due to the increased load across the weight bearing joints, thus increasing the stress on cartilage and ligaments. Evidence suggests that obesity may cause metabolic changes that promote osteoarthritis4. Osteoarthritis can in turn contribute to being overweight or obese as painful joints may limit physical activity causing weight gain5. It is therefore essential for the prevention and management of osteoarthritis to exercise regularly and maintain a healthy diet to maintain a healthy body weight. Top of page
Alcohol intake and tobacco smokingAvoiding or eliminating exposure to tobacco in all its forms helps to improve health outcomes and reduce the risk of developing many chronic diseases. Reducing exposure to tobacco use reduces the risk of low bone mass, low bone strength and low body weight, all of which directly impact the development of osteoporosis. Tobacco smoking increases the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis6.
Excessive alcohol consumption is a contributing factor to the development of many chronic diseases. It has negative impact on bone mass for osteoporosis and contributes to increased weight gain, which in turn places pressure on joints, an issue in arthritis conditions.

Risk factors specific to arthritis and osteoporosisThere are a number of ways of specifically reducing the risk of the onset of arthritis and osteoporosis, including avoiding joint injury, avoiding vitamin D and calcium deficiencies, and falls and falls injuries prevention strategies.
Joint traumaAvoiding joint trauma or injury is important in reducing the chance of developing osteoarthritis. Joint injuries associated with increased risk of osteoarthritis include dislocation, contusion, fracture and tears of the menisci or ligaments. Joint injury damages the tissues within the joint which can increase the stress on the cartilage. Osteoarthritis develops slowly over time, eventually leading to pain or stiffness in the previously injured joint.
CalciumAn adequate calcium intake is critical for the prevention of osteoporosis as calcium is essential for bone formation. As the body is unable to produce calcium it must be obtained from the diet. Low calcium intake is associated with low bone mineral density.
Vitamin DVitamin D is then required to help the body to absorb the calcium and regulate bone formation. Although small amounts of vitamin D can be obtained through diet, the majority is synthesised by the body via exposure of the skin to sunlight.
Falls injuries preventionFalls and falls injuries prevention strategies are critical to preventing or minimising the impact of osteoporosis. People with better posture, better balance and stronger muscles are less likely to fall and are therefore less likely to be injured and develop osteoporosis. Improving posture, balance and muscle strength through regular exercise together with a safe home environment, wearing appropriate clothing and footwear and monitoring eyesight will help to prevent falls and associated falls injuries which in turn will reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis.

Early diagnosis, treatment and self management of musculoskeletal conditionsEarly diagnosis and appropriate treatment is essential to delay progression of musculoskeletal conditions and the resultant pain, disability and loss of independence. The available treatments include:
- medications aimed at reducing pain, increasing mobility and slowing the progression of inflammation or the loss of bone mass
- physiotherapy and exercise and
- orthopaedic surgery.
Other measures that may be helpful to those with arthritis and osteoporosis include mechanical aids and modifications to houses to enhance mobility. Top of page
Self-managementSelf-management programs can provide counselling, encouragement and a support network. They allow people with musculoskeletal conditions to acquire the skills and knowledge to help them better manage their condition, which can lead to improvements in pain management, functioning and quality of life. Further information on self-management programs can be obtained through the Arthritis Australia website and the Osteoporosis Australia website.

Ultra-luxury brands beware, another one of your comrades is falling down the shame spiral and building a - gasp - SUV! Sure that's a little dramatic, but so are all of the people that are scoffing at the fact that Bentley has now confirmed a new SUV scheduled to hit their lineup sometime in 2015. If everyone remembers correctly, these are the same people that were horrified that Porsche decided to build the Cayenne and look how well that turned out for them.
Now, with a 37-percent increase in sales in 2011 (to 7,003 vehicles sold), Bentley is looking to double this number by the time this new SUV, rumored to have the name "Falcon " — comes out by making it "the world's most luxurious 4x4" SUV and targeting growing SUV markets like the U.S. and China. The "luxurious" title will also match the price; rumors point to the starting price for this future SUV coming in at $271,000, making the $48,200 starting price of the Porsche Cayenne look like it belongs on a Kia Sportage .
So, what constitutes the jumbo price tag? Other than the supposedly tremendous amount of luxury built into the future SUV, rumors are swirling that a V-8 twin-turbocharged engine would be the standard powerplant and a W-12 engine is a possible option.
Bentley is taking a big step with its improving sales by giving an SUV a chance to flourish. Does the world need a strong competitor for the Porsche Cayenne? Probably not, but that doesn't mean that high-end customers with deep pockets won't be writing out checks for a chance to wallow in the luxurious nature promised by Bentley.
Updated 05/27/2014: Bentley launched a new website for its upcoming SUV. The automaker will update the site continuously with details on the future model. Described as the "world's most powerful and luxurious SUV," the new Bentley will put its new SUV on sale in 2016, with a plug-in hybrid option set to follow in 2017.
Updated 06/30/2014: In a recent interview with the British magazine AutoCar Bentley boss Wolfgang Dürheimer confirmed that the company's future SUV will be the most expensive SUV currently available on the market. It will be priced at about £130,000 - or $220,000 at the current exchange rates. This is a lot indeed, but its less than initially expected: £200,000 - or $340,000 at the current exchange rates.
Update History
UPDATE 02/03/2013: Volkswagen Group has finally given the green light to the EXP 9 F super-luxury SUV unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The production version is internally known as the "Falcon" and is expected to be unveiled in the upcoming three years. The good news is that reports are pointing toward that the production version likely dropping the controversial design of the EXP 9F concept and will adopt a more conventional Bentley look. When put on sale in will be priced at about 200,000 euro - about $271,000 at the current exchange rates. Additionally, Bentley plans to sell about 5,000 units of its new SUV per year. (Automotive News)
UPDATE 07/23/2013: It's official... No more speculation, no more reports and no more rumors; Bentley has officially given the green light to the yet-to-be-named SUV. Bentley claims that this will be the most luxurious and powerful SUV on the market. As expected, Bentley will not stray from the automaker's current design language. Bentley has announced that its new SUV will hit showrooms in 2016, will be built in Crewe and will create over 1,000 new jobs.
Updated 1/8/2014: During an interview with Auto Express, Bentley Chairman Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber confirmed that the upcoming Bentley SUV will be available as a hybrid model with a plug-in system similar to what we saw in the Panamera S E-Hybrid . Schrieber also confirmed that the standard SUV, which already has over 2,000 pre-orders, will arrive in 2015 as a 2016 model, and that the the hybrid will arrive a year after the standard Bentley SUV. (Auto Express)
Updated 3/19/2014: Bentley just released the first teaser image of its new SUV, which is rumored to be called the Falcon. You can see the image after the jump.

May 21, 2014 - First mule caught testing
Teaser Images
The Bentley SUV — rumored to carry the Falcon nameplate — got its tease on today, and we can clearly see the traditional Bentley cues. The mesh grille is present, as are the quad-round headlights. On the downside, the hood looks pretty uneventful, but much of it is disguised on the image.
The Cayenne Turbo S is set for a light revision in 2015, so we assume it will carry over by the time the Falcon hits the market. The Turbo S will carry a 570-horsepower, twin-turbo V-8, which will likely be slightly out-muscled by the 6.0-liter W-12 engine, if it is included in the SUV, but we assume the twin-turbo V-8 will be the likely base engine, which would put it more in line with the Cayenne GTS. The Bentley SUV, however, will be on a completely different level of luxury than the Cayenne.

The X5 xDrive50i will likely hang with the Bentley SUV, thanks to its 4.4-liter V-8 that pumps out 445 horsepower. Like the Porsche Cayenne, though, the X5 will lack the luxury features of the Bentley.

Press Release
Green light for Bentley SUV
- Fourth model line to be built in Crewe
- Sales will begin in 2016
- Over 1,000 UK jobs created
- New model will be true to Bentley's brand hallmarks
- Extremely positive customer response to an SUV by Bentley
(Crewe, 23 July 2013). Bentley Motors today confirms that it will proceed with the development of the Bentley SUV, the company's fourth model line. The SUV will be made in Crewe and will go on sale in 2016. It will create over 1000 jobs in the UK. Over the next three years Bentley will invest more than £800 million in its headquarters at Crewe and the development of new models.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron, who was present together with Dr Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board of Volkswagen Group for the announcement at Bentley headquarters in Crewe, said: "This £800 million investment and a thousand new jobs from Bentley is fantastic news for both Crewe and for the UK as a whole. It is another important milestone in strengthening our economy.
"One sector that we know is sprinting ahead in the global race is our booming automotive industry. One vehicle rolls off a production line somewhere in the UK every 20 seconds and we have just launched the Government's Automotive Industrial Strategy to help continue this success for years to come.
"I am delighted that Bentley will be building their new vehicle here, not only creating a thousand jobs, but safeguarding many more, as well as increasing training opportunities for highly skilled apprentices."
Dr Winterkorn said: "The Volkswagen Group believes in the UK as a competitive location for industrial production. Bentley fans all around the world are looking forward to the brand's first SUV. Together we will make this new Bentley another true Bentley - powerful, exclusive and successful."
Business Secretary Vince Cable said: "This is a welcome commitment to the UK from a major international car maker. Our automotive industrial strategy proves this government's commitment to working with world-class companies like Bentley to create jobs and promote exports.
"Bentley was the first firm I visited as a government minister and serves as a real example of high value manufacturing. They export more than four out of every five cars they make in the UK to the rest of the world."
Bentley's Chairman and Chief Executive, Dr Wolfgang Schreiber, added: "This is excellent news for Bentley and for the UK. Bentley is increasingly successful and this new fourth model line will leverage the success of the global SUV market. The support of everyone involved with the Company has been fundamental to this decision, which will ensure sustainable growth for the company."
The SUV will be a thoroughbred Bentley true to the brand hallmarks of luxury, performance, quality and craftsmanship. The styling will set it apart from any other SUV on the road and will be true to the Bentley design DNA. It will be the most luxurious and most powerful SUV in the market. The response from customers to a Bentley SUV has been extremely positive in the last 16 months.

I am planning to build a mobile application (a text editor based app) to primarily use with my symbian device. I have plans to make it commercial too, once its complete.
Now the manufacturer (NOKIA) website lists some choices for mobile app development - java, native platform for symbian (using c) and QT.
I am aware about the aspects of scaling and extending the app for other platforms. Android is increasing in it's market share like anything, symbian is losing too. Also if i need to get the platform specific functionalities (say reading the contact list or sending an sms) i should be compromising the portability. I was not able to find any comparisons between these portability and platform specific features aspects.
If i chose java, i think i could easily port my application for android/iphone and make it commercial. I have no idea how portable the QT platform can be. I do not want to go by Nokia's suggestions since i doubt they are biased to their products(even if they provide excellent developer support)
I have to start learning from the beginning, irrespective of whichever platform i chose (except languages) Please advice me if i have assumed something wrong, and your opinion about portability versus platform features.

Very Comfy, Runs Slightly Smaller than Olowahu Fab
"I really like these & bought them in the red pattern, already had them in a green pattern from ~6 yrs ago (?). Ordered a size 10, they were about .25 inch shorter in length than the Teva Women's Olowahu Fabric Flip Flop that I got in the same order ( I have 2 pairs of these too). Noticed they appeared to be different in length & measured each of them. I like the length in the Olowahu's better but these were not too short that it was a problem...but almost too short. Try on if you can & order up if you are on the larger side of a size 10"

2012 Guide Analysis: "Having spent over a decade in development, this action rom-com is more famous for who has been attached to it rather than the final result. Originally Martin Lawrence and Chris Rock were set to star in the lead roles until that version was canceled. Robert Downey Jr., Sam Worthington and Matt Damon were also part of defunct earlier incarnations, even "Pineapple Express" duo Seth Rogen and James Franco were once in the mix.
Several years and many re-writes later, the project finally began moving forward very early 2010 with "Charlie's Angels" helmer McG onboard. The story has two best friends and veteran spies falling for the same woman. They end up fighting for her affections using their black-ops warfare tactics, a fight which literally demolishes much of New York City along the way.
Word on the script has been pretty good with some spectacular action set pieces fused with fun one up-manship between the two male leads. Thus it all comes down to the chemistry between the trio and it doesn't seem to quite click judging by the trailers. Both Reese Witherspoon and "Star Trek" hunk Chris Pine are old hats at this genre and neither is really stretching themselves.
It's "Inception" and "The Dark Knight Rises" British star Tom Hardy who is the odd one out. On the one hand a talent like his in this makes it an immediate draw which someone like the more conventionally suited and previously cast Bradley Cooper would not have been. Hardy certainly looks great in a suit, but at times he seems to vary between having fun and being decidedly uncomfortable and makes one wonder if that carries over into the final film.
Slotted for Valentine's Day, this could be one of the few date movies opening this year that will have cross-gender appeal."

I avoided doing these as much as possible at school as I don't like doing things I am not good at. However there are some aspects of the wrestling I like and I would like to get good at it but want to know if there is anything I can do to become more agile or is it just a matter of practice. If you can't do it right in the 1st place, how are you meant to practice it is what I am thinking?

Imagine this: some tourists, from India and abroad, fly to Jammu and Kashmir, and are eager to escape the confines of Srinagar airport and to get themselves a lungful of that pristine Himalayan air.
Upon arrival, they are advised to visit the official clothier's outlet of the Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Department before they hit the
streets. They need to make a stop there so they can shed any "objectionable" attire and don a traditional pheran to respect the "local ethos and culture" of India's northernmost state.
Don't like it? Go home.
It's an impossible scenario in most parts of the world, but this idea -- already the norm in conservative Saudi Arabia -- is something that the Kashmiri religious group Jamaat-e-Islami, would like to import to Jammu and Kashmir.
The Jamaat fears that tourists wearing mini skirts and other objectionable dresses could derail "the [Kashmiri] society from the right track."
Labelling tourists' clothing, which often veers to the casual and the revealing (it's hot out there when you're visiting five monuments a day!) as "cultural aggression against the Kashmiri Muslims," the group has accused women tourists wearing short dresses, mini-skirts and other skimpy attire from the West as agents of "immorality and immodesty".

Advertiser Mode
Posted Mar 7, 2012 by sarah
Advertiser Mode
Last month we discovered a surprising fact – there were a number of advertisers using adOS as an advertiser side ad server. To get the ad code to work correctly they had to do some special targeting with zones and creatives to make sure that the ad code they handed out only showed the specific creative they wanted it to serve. We decided to spend a little time and add a feature called Direct Targeting just for this new group of users.
You can begin using Direct Targeting by installing the Advertiser Mode app in the adOS Marketplace. This app is free to install and use, and allows you the ability to generate ad code to serve:
- Creatives from a single campaign
- Creatives from a single flight
- Just one specific creative
This is very useful if you are using Adzerk to track campaigns that you are buying on other sites or networks. You can generate ad tags that will always show creatives from a specific campaign, flight, or just a single creative. You can then give these tags to a site for them to place them on their pages, or in their ad server.
Once it's enabled, you'll see the 'Get Ad Code' button added to the Campaigns list view, Flights list view, and creatives list view.
Clicking the 'Get Ad Code' button will popup this window, which allows you to select a site and ad size before generating the code.
We never set out to build an ad server for advertisers – but we are excited to see advertisers using adOS and will continue to include features that give them a better experience where it makes sense

Foreign direct investment fell for the sixth consecutive month in April, while capital flow from the European Union into China continued to drop sharply, according to the Ministry of Commerce.
But the ministry said the drop is temporary and China is "confident" in the long-term FDI outlook.
FDI decreased by 0.7 percent, from a year earlier, to $8.4 billion in April. It fell 6.1 percent in March. This is the longest period of continuous decline in FDI since the financial crisis.
FDI fell 2.4 percent in the first four months, from a year earlier, to $37.9 billion but outbound direct investment grew by 72.8 percent to $23.2 billion.
ODI is expected to register an annual growth rate of 17 percent from 2011 to 2015, reaching $150 billion in 2015, the ministry said on its website on Tuesday. Contracted value for the nation's engineering projects is expected to reach $180 billion in 2015.
"There are various reasons (behind the drop in FDI)," including a faltering global economy, said ministry spokesman Shen Danyang, at a news briefing on Tuesday.

Help choosing a doctor!
- racheallynn
- 2 years ago
Hello all, So, I need to choose a surgeon in a few weeks and I am stuck between Dr. Cochran and Dr. Shah. This is really hard for me, and I just want to make sure that I get this surgery right. This is for a very complex revision and I am really scared. I do like both doctors alot but I am having a tough time deciding who I think will be able to deliver the best results. If anyone has any experience with either doc or any insights into my situation I would really appreciate any info or advice. If you aren't comfortable posting please pm me. Thanks in advance!

Both doctors have quite a few reviews on RealSelf. Here is Dr. Shah's profile and here is Dr. Cochran's. I hope some others give you feedback. Please keep us posted and let us know who you choose.

Man accused of choking womanAugust 17,2013Man accused of
choking woman
BENNINGTON A local man was ordered held without bail after being accused of choking a woman.
Bobby L. Nelson, 49, pleaded innocent this week in Bennington criminal court to felony counts of second-degree aggravated domestic assault and first-degree aggravated domestic assault, and a misdemeanor charge of violating his conditions of release.
Bennington Police Officer Thalia Hudson said a woman on Applegate Drive told her early Sunday that Nelson had choked and punched her.
Hudson said the womans neck was red and swollen.
The woman said Nelson accused her of injuring his 7-year-old daughters hand earlier in the day, leading to an argument in which Nelson choked her and punched her in the mouth and jaw, Hudson wrote.
According to the affidavit, Nelson admitted to choking the woman but said it was in response to her trying to strangle him first.
Nelson has nine felony convictions and 11 misdemeanor convictions in Vermont. He was convicted of domestic assault in 2003.
Nelson said at his arraignment Monday that the allegations werent true. He asked for a hearing as soon as possible on whether he would continue to be held without bail.MORE IN This Just InAn alleged fight outside a bar between Red Sox and Yankees fans has led to the suspension of two...

Shane Watson should return for Wednesday's match at Manuka Oval. Photo: Sebastian Costanzo
Shane Watson will make his comeback to international cricket in Canberra this week as Cricket Australia aims to juggle competing interests at home and overseas.
National selectors convened on Saturday and again on Sunday after the second match in Perth to finalise plans for the rest of the ODI series, and decide who in the 17-man touring party to India will leave early.
Watson is expected to be named on Monday in Australia's squad for the final three matches against the West Indies, starting at Manuka Oval on Wednesday, and will not be in the group to leave this week for the subcontinent.
Brad Haddin is also tipped to earn a recall for the remaining ODIs to deputise for Matthew Wade, who will be given every chance to acclimatise to the spin-friendly conditions in India.
That would give Queanbeyan-product Haddin a chance to renew his feisty on-field battle with West Indies star Chris Gayle on his former home ground.
Comeback kid Shaun Marsh and Adam Voges, who were both part of Australia's Twenty20 campaign against Sri Lanka, are also likely to to be considered after crunching match-winning centuries at the weekend for Western Australia.
As many as 11 players, including incumbent ODI squad members Phillip Hughes and Usman Khawaja, could be sent over early to India.
Also likely are Test specialists Ed Cowan, Nathan Lyon, Peter Siddle, Jackson Bird and James Pattinson, while Steve Smith and Moises Henriques appear set to join them.
Australia begins its tour with a two-day game in Chennai against an Indian President's XI, which starts on Tuesday week, two days after the end of the five-game series against the West Indies.
CA is striving to ensure Australia's Test preparations are not jeopardised but also wants to avoid over-diluting its one-day side and risk defeat by the Windies, against whom they halved a five-game series in the Caribbean last year.
CA's marketing interests will also need to be protected as it will not want to be seen to be devaluing the final four matches of their international summer, including the first ever ODI in Canberra.
The return of Watson's star power combined with the decision to leave skipper Michael Clarke in charge of the ODI side will not hurt box office appeal.
Both have toured India several times, reducing the need for them to spend time adjusting to the wickets.
Others likely to be present for the remainder of the home summer are Xavier Doherty, Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson, while David Warner's availability for the ODIs hinges on his thumb fracture.
Watson has not played for Australia since breaking down with a calf injury during the Boxing Day Test.
The vice-captain, who has since decided to shelve his bowling indefinitely to focus on batting, has played at grade and domestic one-day level in his latest comeback from injury. His return will stiffen an Australian top order that has struggled for consistency in ODIs.
The matches against the Windies will be the 31-year-old's first as a specialist batsman but also clash with NSW's Sheffield Shield game against Tasmania starting on Wednesday.
One-day international: Australia v West Indies at Manuka Oval, 2.20pm. TV time: Live on WIN.

Ronald Reagan would be proud of Obama's tax rates
The president's plan for dividends and capital gains is better than even the Gipper's most investor-friendly levels
By Richard Band, editor of Profitable Investing
There's a lot of fuss being made about Democrats' plan to "raise taxes" -- or more appropriately let the Bush-era tax cuts expire. And while I'm not happy about Washington taking a bigger piece of the pie, the fact of the matter is that President Obama and his party aren't getting greedy as many investors and economists feared.
For instance, while the top tax on ordinary income (that is, wages and interest) will jump to 39.6% from 35%, the economy survived just fine under Bill Clinton when that rate was in force.
Of greater consequence for growth (both for the economy and for your retirement fund), the president decided to raise the capital gains tax at a modest level that even Ronald Reagan would be proud of. Though this burns some people up when they hear it, take a look at the numbers and judge for yourself:
In Ronald Reagan's heyday, capital gains were never taxed at less than 20%, and dividends were never taxed at less than 28%. Under the Democrats' current proposal, the president aims to raise the capital gains tax to a maximum of 20% on long-term gains (from 15% at present). And in an even more pleasant surprise, the top tax on dividends will also go to just 20% as well.
Here's the scorecard again so there's no confusion: Reagan was at 20% for capital gains and 28% for dividends. Obama is at 20% for capital gains and 20% for dividends.
As an investor, then, I have to view Obama's tax policy at least as favorably as Reagan's.In fact, for those of us who cherish dividends, it may be a little better.
Looking forward, it appears that high dividend stocks in general are likely to thrive under Obama's friendlier-than-expected tax policy. Stocks that pay above-average dividends are about to be revalued upward as the market digests the fact that relatively low dividend tax rates are here to stay. Particularly, I think electric and telephone utilities will succeed the most.

Transit Information in Fukuoka
Convenient access to the city center
JR Train
Limited express and Shinkansen trains connecting major cities in Kyushu travel to and from Hakata station, Kyushu's largest and busiest station. The Kyushu Shinkansen now runs between Kumamoto and Kagoshima, but other lines will be opened in spring 2011. Renovations of Hakata station should be complete around the same time as the new lines.
From Fukuoka Kuko (airport) station it takes 5 minutes to Hakata station, and 11 minutes to Tenjin station. The subway runs every 3-6 minutes during rush-hour and 6-8 minutes during the day. The fare starts at 200yen and there is a saver ticket called "Otonari Ticket" offering half discount (100yen) to next station. There are three subway lines: Kuko (airport), Hakozaki and Nanakuma.
Nishitetsu Train
Nishitetsu (Tenjin) station is located in Tenjin, you can take both local and rapid trains for ordinary fare. The train is directly connected to Dazaifu, making it very convenient for sightseeing. The fare starts at 150yen.
Bus (Local Bus)
Local buses mainly arrive and depart from Hakata Kotsu Center (Hakata station bus terminal) and Tenjin Bus Center. A 100yen loop bus connecting Hakata and Tenjin is very convenient for sightseeing. There is a direct bus to the shopping mall "Marinoa City" and Seaside Momochi in Nishi ward.
Sightseeing Bus (City Loop Bus, Regular Sightseeing Bus, Bus Tour)
The City Loop Bus Green is a very convenient bus for sightseeing in Fukuoka / Hakata. For sightseeing in Dazaifu, you can take Regular Sightseeing Bus (Teiki Kanko Bus), that tours around the popular spots related to Sugawara Michizane including Dazaifu Temangu Shrine. If you wish to go to sightseeing spots in Kyushu from Fukuoka City such a "bus Hike" is recommended.
The City Loop Bus Green is a city tour bus that departs from Hakata station and goes through the major sightseeing spots of Fukuoka / Hakata, including Tenjin, Canal City, the temple and shrine area of Hakata, Seaside Momochi area and Ohori Park.

Enjoy the freedom to explore at your will as you get guided around the city by your driver.

Why not tour around Fukuoka city by bicycle?
You can expand your activities in the town without getting stuck in a jam. Bicycles can be rented at major hotels and bicycle-parking areas.

In one word this tart is AMAZING - full of flavor, super smooth, extremely rich and extremely enjoyable all in one bite! I would make this again, but would definitely allocate more time to making it. It would be best if you could make the lemon curd one day and put the rest of the tart together the next day. I didn't calculate the time to boil, chill, freeze everything, so it was a bit of a rush at the end. Nevertheless, highly recommended if you want to show up and look like the Belle of the Ball!

Recipe Time
Prep Time:
Freeze: 20 Minutes
Bake: 15 Minutes
Cool: 20 Minutes
Chill: 4 Hours
- 1/2 (15-oz.) package refrigerated piecrusts
- 2 (4-oz.) white chocolate bars, chopped
- 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
- Lemon Curd
- 2 cups heavy cream
- Garnishes: lemon curls, fresh raspberries
- 1. Fit piecrust into a lightly greased 9 1/2-inch tart pan; press into fluted edges. Fold any excess dough over outside of pan, and pinch to secure to pan. (This will keep piecrust from sliding down pan as it bakes.) Generously prick bottom and sides of piecrust with a fork, and freeze 20 minutes.
- 2. Preheat oven to 425°. Place piecrust on a baking sheet, and bake 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on a wire rack 20 minutes or until completely cool. Gently tap excess crust from sides of pan, using a rolling pin.
- 3. Microwave white chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals.
- 4. Beat softened cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add melted chocolate, and beat until blended, stopping to scrape down sides. Add Lemon Curd, and beat until blended.
- 5. Beat heavy cream at high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold into lemon mixture. Spoon mixture into prepared crust, mounding mixture in center of tart. (Mixture will be about 2 inches higher than top edge of crust.) Chill 4 hours. Garnish with lemon curls and fresh raspberries, if desired.

George Osbourne, the U.K.'s Chancellor of the Exchequer, announced in the annual budget this week (begs19Mar12) that he will be cutting the 50 per cent top tax rate for people earning more than $240,000 (£150,000) to 45 per cent from next year (13), prompting an outcry from many Brits.
But Cowell, who is worth an estimated $320 million (£200 million), has applauded Osbourne's move as he's convinced it will ultimately help to boost business in the country.
He tells Britain's The People newspaper, ""I'm proud of being British and don't have a problem paying taxes. If you want some of the big entrepreneurs to stay in the country then you have to lower the tax rate a bit. Otherwise you will find them going out of the U.K. and working elsewhere.""

A woman from Fayetteville was among those killed Monday in the Navy Yard tragedy in Washington.
Mary Francis Knight, 51, was a civilian contractor working in information technology at the Navy Yard, according to family spokesman Theodore Hisey. Knight had been in the Washington area for about five years. She lived in Virginia and commuted into the city, Hisey said.
"She had big plans. It's just too bad what happened. It really is," commented Knight's mother, Liliana DeLorenzo. "God almighty. We're still in shock here."
Her mother said the mother of two grew up as Mary DeLorenzo, and she graduated from Seventy-First High School in Fayetteville. She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1984.
DeLorenzo also said her daughter was "a career girl" who was always driven to meet goals. She said Knight was always good at school work. She remembered Knight spending lots of time on math.
"All business, straightforward and very honest and very loving -- a good soul, a good soul," DeLorenzo said about her daughter.
Records show Knight previously worked for the city of Fayetteville in "desktop support" from 1988 to 1994. DeLorenzo said Knight had also lived and worked in Germany before moving to Washington, D.C. for her job at the Navy Yard.
Knight also taught classes at Northern Virginia Community College.
"She was a great patriot who loved her country and loved serving the USA," Hisey said.
Aaron Alexis, a 34-year-old former Navy reservist, killed at least 12 people Monday before being killed himself. The stunning shootings and manhunt erupted Monday morning after 8 a.m. and riveted Americans in the worst tragedy to hit the national capital since Sept. 11, 2001.
The Washington Navy Yard is only about half a mile from the Capitol, on the Potomac River.

I've written before about cognitive rehabilitation for people with memory loss. Researchers at the University of Miami are conducting clinical trials in this area, and people like Morris Friedell are conducting their own informal programs. Paul Whitby, a clinical psychologist working in the National Health Service in England, has been teaching a memory rehabilitation class for professionals for several years now.
"I reckon that a lot of our nurses still think that if somebody has dementia then there is no point telling them anything because they won't remember it," he says. "I try to work on the notion that if you have dementia (or any other memory problem), then there is all the more need to put a bit more effort into telling you things carefully and in a way that will stick (Spaced Retrieval) and making important information obvious, ready to hand and easy to use (calendars, notebooks)."
Paul has put together a Memory Book of practical ideas to encourage people with memory loss and their care partners to try rehabilitation. The booklet also has tips on coping mechanisms.
