$27 million to change NYC signs
In the interest of readability: $27 million to change NYC signs from all-caps.
Federal copy editors are demanding the city change its 250,900 street signs -- such as these for Perry Avenue in The Bronx -- from the all-caps style used for more than a century to ones that capitalize only the first letters.
Changing BROADWAY to Broadway will save lives, the Federal Highway Administration contends in its updated Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, citing improved readability.
At $110 per sign, it will also cost the state $27.6 million, city officials said.
"We have already started replacing the signs in The Bronx," city Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan told The Post. 'We will have 11,000 done by the end of this fiscal year, and the rest finished by 2018."
Studies have shown that it is harder to read all-caps signs, and those extra milliseconds spent staring away from the road have been shown to increase the likelihood of accidents, particularly among older drivers, federal documents say.
The new regulations also require a change in font from the standard highway typeface to Clearview, which was specially developed for this purpose.
Judge hands out condoms hidden in acorns
Isaac Stoltzfus, 58, was charged with disorderly conduct after two women complained to police. He was reportedly handing out hollowed out acorns containing condoms to passers-by outside the state capitol building in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
"An individual was handing out acorns to some women who were offended when they discovered the contents in the acorn included a condom," said Edward Myslewicz, a spokesman for the Department of General Services.
Police say Stoltzfus, who lives and works in Intercourse, told them it was a joke. He could be fined or disciplined by the state's Judicial Conduct Board. Intercourse is a popular destination for tourists because of its location in Pennsylvania's Amish country. The movie Witness was filmed there.
Commonwealth Games medical chief ill with typhoid
In the run-up to the $3 billion Games health fears have mostly centred on a serious outbreak of dengue fever, an excruciatingly painful and potentially deadly mosquito-borne disease. Hundreds of fresh cases are being confirmed in Delhi daily by private clinics, but are not being reported by the authorities, it was revealed last week. It has also been reported that only two of the 11 medical centres created for the Games are in operation and most of the 3000 CCTV cameras covering the event are malfunctioning.
At the centrepiece Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium a woman collapsed during rehearsals for the opening ceremony, but her stretcher could not fit into a stadium lift to take her to a medical team on the first floor. "She had to be rushed to the medical room on the first floor but the stretcher did not fit inside the lift. The ambulance stationed outside the stadium could not reach in time."

Are the Maple Leafs good enough to make the playoffs?
There have been so many new bodies added to the Leafs over the past 12 months that it is next to impossible to predict what this team will do. On paper it doesn't appear to be strong enough to make the playoffs but then everyone was convinced the Blue Jays wouldn't win 70 games this season. Here is my list of positives and negatives going into the season.
Positive – no Vesa Toskala
No longer having Toskala on their roster has to be the biggest positive this season. Last season he was an anchor that dragged the Leafs to the bottom of the NHL standings. J.S. Giguere may no longer be the same goalie that won the Conn Smythe Trophy a few years ago but he is considerably better than Toskala.
Negative – Tomas Kaberle non-trade
The biggest non-event of the NHL offseason was the trade that never happened. No one really knows what happened here but obviously Brian Burke had overpriced his one tradable commodity. I have no problem with Kaberle. You know what you get here. The negative component here is that the trade was supposed to fill a gaping hole at centre for the Leafs. So the Leafs start the season with likely the weakest core of players at this position in the entire NHL.
Positive – no more blue and white disease
Brian Burke has stated that when he arrived in Toronto, there existed a level of complacency (remember the Muskoka Five) that he was unable to shake off even when players were publicly called out. We all know what he was talking about. Players received too much attention for accomplishing so little. So he got rid of most of those players. There only six players remaining that were here before Burke arrived and only one (Kaberle) played a game for the Leafs before Cliff Fletcher stepped in as interm GM. That's what I call cleaning the deck. The current roster is comprised of hungry, young players who are eager to impress.
Negative – Nazem Kadri
I think he will be fine in the long-term. However, there was this unrealistic expectation that he would jump right from Junior hockey to centring the first or second line for the Leafs. It's that type of sense of entitlement created by fans, management and the media that creates blue and white disease. If Burke wants to avoid infecting his young centre, he will have to send him to the Marlies to start the season.
Positive – Phil Kessel
In Phil Kessel the Leafs have a legitimate scoring threat. Despite no training camp, being out of shape and missing the first 12 games of last season, he still managed to score 30 goals. This year he is much more ready to go and has the potential to score 40 goals.
Negative – top 6 forwards
Brian Burke has stressed the need to have skilled players on the top two lines. He doesn't appear to be there yet. Kessel, Kulemin, and Versteeg appear to be top 6 forwards. Perhaps Bozak is one as well. Beyond that you can't convince me that any of the remaining forwards would be able to make the top 6 of a good NHL team. Just not enough secondary scoring.
Positive – truculence
This team has added enough physical players to prevent any team from targeting their skill players. In particular I like the 4th line with Brown, Hanson and Orr. And if any of these forwards falter, there are players like Jay Rosehill, Brayden Irwin and Marcel Mueller quite eager to step in. And each defense pair has a banger – Phaneuf, Komisarek and Schenn.
Negative – penalty killing
Last year's team had the worst penalty killing in the league at an abysmal rate of 74.7%. They had one of lowest number of penalties to kill off but gave up the most goals. Now goaltending plays a significant role in penalty killing success but you can't pin this dog on just the goalies. Having Sjostrom in the lineup will help. Versteeg is also a pretty good penalty killer. But until we see significant improvement this continues to be a major weakness.
Positive – defense
Solid veterans to fill the top two defensive pairings make defense a strength on this team. However, this group is slightly overrated. All four have a history of too many turnovers. They are also not the quickest foursome so expect them to get burned on occasion.
Negative – powerplay
Not only was the penalty killing worst in the league last season but so was the powerplay. You can't pin this one on the goalies. The powerplay unit will essentially be the same and so is the coaching staff. I just don't see a vast improvement here. At the point you have a defenseman that never shoots and one that will only shoots. This unit is incredibly predictable and easy to defend against. Kessel will get his share of powerplay goals but there may not be enough secondary scoring.
Positive – team speed
This team has a lot of youth and speed which will pressure opposition defenses and create plenty of scoring opportunities. However if the forward are unable to finish their plays then the offense will have its problems.
Negative – salary cap
For a young team the Leafs surprisingly have some cap problems. That's because they have their share of overpaid players including Giguere, Phanuef Finger and Komisarek. Brian Burke likes to characterize himself as possessing integrity which means he will not attempt to circumvent the cap. Unfortunately, this essentially puts him at a disadvantage relative to fellow GMs who for the most part try like heck to beat the cap. So it is unlikely that Burke will bury Finger's contract in the minors. This increases the likelihood that Kadri and his $1.7 million cap hit will start the season in the minors.

So how good of a manager was Cito Gaston?
Cito Gaston never had a lot of friends he could count on in the media. They ranged from Bob McGowan who hated him to Jeff Blair who was more or less agnostic. However, most fans loved Cito. But then again how many fans actually had any face to face interaction with Cito.
He could be tough and defiant and at other times warm and charming. In 1997 he accused several media people of racism. Then this season Mike Wilner was suspended three days after an altercation with Cito during a media scrum.
As the season and his managerial career wind down it's not too early to evaluate his legacy and determine whether he is worthy of entry to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
With Cito it seems that when things are going good they are very good and when things go bad they can become extremely bad. Many players loved playing for him but not everyone. There was that clubhouse mutiny at the end of last season that no one wants to talk about. That ended with a face saving compromise where Cito got to stick around one more season and allowed to retire gracefully.
There is quite a legacy of getting great performances out of individual players - some unwanted by their previous teams. The classic example is Jose Bautista who went from a player at risk of finishing his career in the minor to being an all-star and home run champ under Cito's watch. The Angels had more or less given up on Devon White before he became a key player for the Jays under Cito. Include in this group Adam Lind who says he owes his career to Cito. But he could also turn on a player. Several players were banished to the minors in his last stint as manager including Travis Snider and Jeremy Accardo.
Much has been made of his two World Series wins and so it should be. How many managers currently in MLB have managed two championship teams? Not many. Some people argue that a mannequin could have won championships with those lineups and a better judge of his ability is what he has done with weak lineups. We know that after the Blue Jays were stripped of their talent post 1993 he appeared to have lost his passion and was eventually fired.
There are those who claim that he does not do what other good managers do - use his bench. Cito's approach has always been to stick with his starter through good and bad stretches. His track record shows that he has been paid back handsomely for his loyalty. His quiet calm on the bench can be confused with detachment but most players will tell you that this impression is so far from the truth.
Cito Gaston is a complicated and proud man. His good friend Paul Beeston provided him with the opportunity to leave the game with some dignity. He would love to be inducted into the Hall. That part of his legacy has yet to be determined.

Happy 42nd birthday Naomi Watts
I get a lot of satisfaction in watching A.J. Burnett get shelled
I don't hate A.J. Burnett. Who blames him for leaving for the money? Only a fool would turn down $85 million. Likely many New York Yankees he is grossly overpaid.
Yet it is so much fun watching him get hammered by the Jays. The fans at the Rogers Centre I'm sure felt the same way as they gave him a standing ovation when he got the hook in the 3rd inning. Even with the Jays it was hard to like this guy so watching him crash and burn is a lot fun.
Burnett more or less has two pitches - a good fastball and a dynamite curveball. But when your curve isn't hitting the strike zone, a pitcher like Burnett has only a fastball to fall back on. That is why he isn't worth the money. This year Burnett has been struggling with his curveball which is why he has lost 15 games this season. When he was with the Jays, they tried to teach him a changeup but it never happened for him.
But the Jays are a great fastball hitting team which is why they have enjoyed playing against Burnett this season. It also explains Burnett's 9.15 ERA against the Jays.
Well we know he'll be back next year since there is 3 years left on that contract.
Why Rob Ford is so popular
There was a time when we had an unpopular left of centre administration that had become unpopular with the electorate because of high spending, high taxes and a growing budget deficit. Working people were especially disillusioned. A populist right of centre candidate comes forward promising lower taxes, cuts in government spending and fewer politicians. The message has strong appeal to working class voters who abandon the left to vote in favour of their pocketbook.
Sound familiar?
It was 1995 when Mike Harris unveiled his 'Common Sense' revolution and actually stole votes from the NDP who had become very unpopular with organized labour under Premier Bob Rae. Harris delivered 30% tax cuts and reduced the size of the provincial Legislature. He also cut social assistance by 22%, cut infrastructure projects like the Eglinton subway, transferred programs to the municipalities, laid off nurses and closed hospitals.
Yes, David Miller is today's Bob Rae and Rob Ford is Mike Harris. Taxpayers will not tolerate what they perceive as endless increases in taxes with no attempt to cut or curtail spending. So it is Miller's traditional allies that are abandoning him in favour of Ford's "fiscal responsible" approach. Miller has created the environment that allows Ford to become electable.
His platform is organized into four main themes: "putting people and families first, focusing on the fundamentals, reducing waste and eliminating unnecessary taxes." Among his campaign promises, he said that he would repeal the vehicle registration and land transfer taxes implemented by David Miller and make the Toronto Transit Commission an essential service. He said there was "enough fat and inefficiency to slash costs while dramatically improving customer service." He also said he would work to cut the number of councillors on city council by half.
Ford has had little support from the media and the Toronto Star has really gone after him but to no avail. The electorate doesn't seem to care. The latest attack is that he lacks vision. But most politicians don't really have a vision let alone a platform.
I'm not endorsing Ford or suggesting that he will be a good mayor. But he will be mayor of Toronto. The time is right.

Lindsay Lohan the humanitarian
Lindsay Lohan has spent her first full day out of custody visiting a group of homeless teenagers at a mission and outreach centre in Los Angeles.
Accompanied by her mother Dina and 16-year-old sister Ali, the 'Machete' actress met with some of the teen girls housed at the facility and handed out purses as gifts.
Then she shamelessly posed for some publicity pictures and sent out some tweets. What's the point of doing community work if you don't get credit for it. Seems her business manager Lou Taylor is the one who suggested that she should visit with a few of the children and teens there.
Meanwhile some old and grainy pictures of Lindsay are circulating around the Internet in which she appears to be shooting heroin and making out with Paris Hilton. Hmm, don't let the kids at the centre see these.

How do you fall off a cliff on a Segway?
The media has picked up on this story about the multi-millionaire owner of the Segway company who died in a freak accident yesterday when he rode one of the high-tech two-wheel machines off a cliff and into a river.
Former miner Jimi Heselden, 62, plunged into the River Wharfe while riding around his West Yorkshire estate in Boston Spa on a rugged country version of the Segway.
Huh? Who did they call in Inspector Clouseau? Segway's have a top speed of 12 mph. How do you have enough time to jump off the gizmo that moves as fast as a five year old on a tricycle? He owned the company but didn't know how to operate one? I think someone duct taped him to the Segway, let it go over the cliff with Jimi on it and then removed the tape at the bottom. How's that for a theory?

Blue Jays nearing team record for home runs
Interesting how the top 3 teams in baseball in home runs all come out of the American League East (the other two of course are Boston and New York). There is a lot of power in those lineups.
The Major League single season record for home runs is Seattle in 1997 with 264.

Thief almost crushed to death hiding in garbage truck
But workers arrived to pick up the store's rubbish and the bin was emptied into a truck. Brienzo was crushed several times, as the lorry's metal jaws compacted the rubbish. He eventually managed to pull out a mobile phone from his pocket and call a friend. His pal phoned police, who used GPS (Global Positioning System) to track the truck.
The rubbish, which mainly consisted of cardboard boxes, had been crushed so much that police could not free him from the vehicle. The lorry was taken back to the depot, and Brienzo fell out of the truck head-first with the rubbish. "He was in a lot of pain," said a police spokesman at the scene.
"He had been compacted several times. He was just begging us to empty the truck." The spokesman said Brienzo suffered serious injuries and is being treated in the Metro Health Medical Centre in Cleveland. The suspect is expected to be charged with shoplifting after he recovers.
Nothing like a bad planning when it comes to a robbery. First off you hit a Walmart with cameras throughout the store. Then you take off through a fire exit which has alarms. Well you know the rest, how he found this great hiding place. All that for cheap sunglasses and electronics.
Jay Leno is Mr. Potatohead
Hamilton resident Margherita Scordato and her granddaughter, Savina Caravelli, stumbled upon the spud mug while rooting through a bag of russet potatoes purchased at the ShopRite in Hamilton.
Caravelli said she had no intentions of making french fries or mashed spuds from the potato face. "We're going to keep it," Caravelli said.
Pot plants stolen from Police Chief's truck
A Wisconsin woman was cited for marijuana possession after allegedly stealing it out of the back of the chief of police's truck.
The Palmyra, WI cop boss had been carting around 89 confiscated marijuana plants with him when, naturally, he stopped off to the local high school to coach the football team.
From the field he noticed a woman pull up to his parked truck with a trailer and start taking the plants. She was the mother of one of his players.

New Harvard Study Upholds Use of DTI in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
I am so excited about a recent article entitled A Review of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Diffusion Tensor Imaging Findings in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury which was authored by ten experts in the field from Harvard Medical School.The paper supports the use of DTI in diagnosing mild traumatic brain injury. The article was published in Brain Imaging and Behavior, March 22, 2012.
The authors recognize that conventional tools such as MRI and CT do not adequately depict brain injury in mild traumatic brain injury, because they are not sensitive to detecting diffused axonal injuries (DAI). This has "led clinicians typically to diagnose mTBI on the basis of clinical and cognitive symptoms, which are generally based on self-report and are non-specific as they overlap with other diagnoses…." Further, the authors state that while "most of the symptoms of mTBI are transient and resolve within days to weeks, approximately 15-30% of patients evince cognitive, physiological, and clinical symptoms that do not resolve three months post-injury" and that "these symptoms persist and in some cases lead to permanent disability and to what has been referred to as persistent post-concussive symptoms or post-concussive syndrome." The authors conducted a literature review, finding that there is evidence for brain abnormalities in mTBI based on studies using advanced MRI/DTI neuro imaging techniques. The authors state, "importantly, these advances make it possible to use more sensitive tools to investigate the subtle brain alterations in mTBI…. Taken together, the findings presented below suggest that more sensitive neuro-imaging tools improve the detection of brain injuries in mTBI (i.e. diagnosis)….With the advent of DTI, however, DAI/TAI have the potential to be quantified and this information can be used for diagnosis, prognosis and for the evaluation of treatment efficacy."
The authors conclude in summary, that while there was a great deal of variability in DTI, "nonetheless [they] were striking in that they all suggest that radiological evidence support small and subtle brain injuries in mTBI…. This evidence would not be possible if conventional MRI and CT scans alone were used to establish brain injury; it takes more advanced and sophisticated methods such as DIT that are sensitive to diffuse axonal injury to delineate these abnormalities."

Roman shades: part 2
In my defense I can say that I'm an amateur seamstress. And that this curtain I had to make in the short stretches of time Damiano let me concentrate.
The result is.. well.. let's see it:
So, the first thing to notice is that the fabric crinkled where I sewed (sides and middle), and the weight rod isn't heavy enough.
The photo is bad, but I'd wait till the shade is actually mounted in order to judge whether is sucks or not. Perfection is, alas, out of the question.
Tomorrow I'll go on with the other 6. Hopefully the experience of today will make the next ones easier.
If you have suggestions on how to prevent the crinkling of the fabric, or any suggestions in general, please do tell.

Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) new CEO Satya Nadella could bring the company what it's been missing, as we recently pointed out, but Nadella will have to tackle two very troubling numbers just reported for Microsoft.
These are figures that give us a glimpse of what could prevent MSFT stock from climbing in 2014 following its 40.9% rise last year.
These numbers were just released last week - and they're ugly. Here's the story.
A Slide in Market Share in the Gaming World
Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PlayStation 4 were both released in November 2013. XBox sales beat out PS4 sales over the holiday season in December, but Microsoft failed to keep its momentum going in the New Year.
According to an online statement from Sony Thursday, Feb. 13, Sony's PlayStation 4 sales were No. 1 in sales for the month of January, "nearly doubling the nearest next-gen competitor" - including Microsoft's Xbox One. Sony cited research by consumer market research firm NPD Group.
"PS4 led overall hardware sales this month, followed by the Xbox One," the NDP report confirmed. No actual sales numbers were made available, including for Microsoft's and Sony's other notable gaming console competition, Nintendo.
Also last week, Microsoft announced its newly appointed PC gaming guru Jason Holtman is departing, only six months after his hire.
Microsoft is struggling to find its footing in PC gaming right now, and there's a lot to lose.
According to NDP, consumers spent around $1.05 billion on the videogame industry in January, including sales made through digital downloads, used games, social games, and rentals.
The troubling Microsoft number comes from the PC side of business...
A Decline in Operating System Sales
Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system (OS) isn't selling nearly as much as its predecessor, Windows 7.
Compare 200 million in license sales since Windows 8's launch 15 months ago to Windows 7's 240 million license sales within its first year.
Windows 8 has suffered from bad publicity and consumer reluctance, to the point where Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE: HPQ) in January said it would offer some new PCs with the older Windows 7 system.
On top of that is the steady decline in personal computer (PC) sales worldwide, which are being rapidly replaced by tablets and smartphones. In the fourth quarter of 2012, worldwide tablets sales reached 52.5 million units, double the number from the same period a year earlier. Meanwhile, PC sales fell 6.4% year over year to 89.8 million units.
Microsoft's release of its Q4 2013 earnings in late January showed a 3% drop in sales of Windows to the consumer PC market.
Here's where these figures leave MSFT stock.
What Investors Need to See from Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT)
Microsoft stock had an excellent 2013, registering a 41% increase, despite the overhang from the languishing PC market and uncertainty over who would succeed outgoing Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer.
To repeat those gains, Microsoft has to show it has a strong strategy for dealing with the continuing shifts in the technology landscape going forward.
In terms of mobile technology, Microsoft spent $7.2 billion to buy Nokia Corp's (NYSE ADR: NOK) mobile phone business in fall 2013. The move was an expensive admission that the company's smartphone strategy hasn't yet worked.
Expect an update on the progress of the integration of this unit. Also, sales of the Surface 2 tablet will indicate whether Microsoft is finally getting a foothold in the mobile market that has so long eluded it.
Finally, pay attention to how well newly appointed CEO Satya Nadella fits in at Microsoft - and whether his vision will steer the company to new highs or lows.
Finding the best tech stocks is a lot easier when you know what the major tech trends are going to be. That's why we took a good look at what happened at the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES), and here are the investment ideas we came up with...

ECB Free to Stop Buying Italian Bonds, Mersch Tells La Stampa - Businessweek
It's becoming evident what is needed, a full political union in Europe. A United States of Europe. Will these individual sovereign countries agree to become states under a supranational organization?
All know that Germany has the most $$ and therefore is the big dog in the Union. They are pushing through austerity in Greece and now Italy. Will these countries put aside their national prestige and agree to impose German-dictated austerity (and hence automatic recession) on their people? I don't believe so.
It looks more like the debitor nations are calling the shots doesn't it? I think that Merkozy was so ticked off that Greece's referendum potentially confirmed this point that the she/man made the blunder of creating the possibility of a country leaving the Euro.
The ECB is talking tough. Will Italy call their bluff? It's economic Mutually Assured Destruction at this point.
So much uncertainty. Perhaps that's why the S&P 500 is trading at only 11-12 times next years earnings. Many believe that 2012 earnings will need to be revised down if this uncertainty persists.

1979 ferrari 308 gtb
(photo courtesy clive bullian) The Ferrari 308 GTB was introduced at the Paris Salon in October 1975. It showed a similar mechanical layout to the Bertone-styled 308 GT4, but was equipped with only two seats. The beautifully styled coachwork by Pininfarina incorporated some visual aspects of the fantastic Dino 246 GT. Early 308 GTB's had a lightweight fiberglass body, in 1977 production changed to steel bodies. The powerful 3 litre V8-engine was equipped with four Weber carbs, which made the engine sound superior to all its fuel-injected successors.

India's moment of glory in 1983
If we took on the mighty West Indians of the 1970s and 1980s and come out bruised but hardly battered, we did it again in the 1990s and 2000s by humbling the all-conquering Australians. What happened on that balmy summer day of June 25, 1983 became a piece of cricketing folklore not because India won the World Cup; In doing so India beat the best team to lift that trophy. And it was no fluke!
As a teenager, I recall the excitement of a semi-final victory over the much-fancied England and how a visibly chastened captain Bob Willis had run in to bowl with his entire fielders on one side. When Sandeep Patil played an ugly cut shot and ran for dear life into the pavilion at Lord's, the elation was somewhat dampened by the 'fear of the known'. Though David had got the better of Goliath twice in two months, even the most die-hard fan could not have predicted the turn of the dice on that fateful day.
For once, Doordarshan had geared up for D-day (having done it for the semis earlier) and there we were at the house of a friend, who was one among the very few to have a color television. Incidentally, color telecast had started just about six months ago during the Asian Games of 1982.
When Kapil Dev won the toss and decided to bat on a typically benign summer wicket at the Lord's, cricket fans hoped that India could at least play out their sixty overs and in doing so probably score in excess of 225 or 250. However, things began as badly as they do for Team India with Sunny Gavaskar edging Andy Roberts to keeper Jeff Dujon very early on. What began thereafter was a 57-run partnership between the hare and the tortoise!
Holiding fort at one end was MohinderAmarnath, India's Rahul Dravid of the 1980s, busy blocking everything that the four west Indian quicks could hurl at him, either with bat or body. At the other end was a batsman who swung and missed one ball and spanked the very next from the world's fastest bowler for four. In between the two, he spent time snorting, make faces, taking long walks to square leg and vigorously shaking his head from side to side. That was KrishnamachariSrikkanth for you.
Srikkanth lasted precisely 57 deliveries that day, but during his stay provided glimpses of a cavalier approach to cricket that was unseen till then but has come to stay today with the likes of VirenderSehwag and Yuvraj Singh. He struck seven boundaries and a six of Roberts during his 82 minute stay at the wicket while scoring 38 runs. The next best score in that match was the 33 scored by Vivian Richards for the losing team.

Dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants (see farther)(than the giants themselves)

One who develops future intellectual pursuits by understanding the research and works created by notable thinkers of the past
Using the understanding gained by major thinkers who have gone before in order to make intellectual progress.
A genius need not be a genius in every field, it suffices when he is in his (and she in hers, of course).
Which is the main 'message' so-called ecclesial books convey.
The Jesus myth for instance, is surely not the first, as its proponents seem to believe, merely one of the latest, in a long tradition of myths in the form of personifications, conveying the aspects of the ever ongoing cycle of life - and all those myths tell us the same: the creation of life, its nature, its perpetuality.

A look back at the last US team to win gold in women's gymnastics!
The National Archives holds Federal records, so we don't have any pictures of this year's gold-medal winning gymnasts (but if they visit the White House when they come home, we will eventually have those records). Instead, here's a Presidential photograph from the William J. Clinton Presidential Library from 1996, the last time the American team won gold in women's gymnastics: President Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Chelsea Clinton pose for a photo with the U.S. Olympic Women's Gymnastics Team in the Blue Room, August 7, 1996.

Hands on review of the Android powered Samsung Galaxy NX
Since November 2013 I've been using a Samsung Galaxy NX The first interchangeable lens camera to run the Android operating system. A common feature on new cameras is wireless connectivity that enables them to connect to phones or tablets to transfer photos so that images can then be posted online. Having a combination of Android and wireless connectivity cuts out the middle man, you can shoot pictures then use them in whatever Android app takes your fancy. You might think having full blown Android on a camera might get in the way of shooting, sure you could miss a photo op by playing angry birds, but no matter what app you're using you can get into camera mode with one press of the shutter button. The build quality is really sturdy, it feels as small as it possibly could be while accommodating the large touch screen and large removable battery.

The Double Exposure App 'Dubble' for the iPhone is Becoming Social
Since Dubble's launch in October 2013 they have not rested on there laurels. The Dubble development team have been updating their app and boasted that they've now Dubbled three quarters of a million images in their first six months.
In case you did not read my original review of Dubble it's an iOS app that pairs your photos with another user's photo randomly to create a double exposed image. When first released it was a very stable app that did it's core function very well, namely doubling your images with other peoples. I found it a little frustrating that when you found an image or user you liked there was no way to fav it, this has now changed with the addition of likes and other social features.

Nine Recently Acquired Photography Books / Publications
A little run down of the photo books I've acquired, most of which I got by attending photographer's talks and book launches which means I get to pick up rare photography books and don't have to pay postage. Some of the books are readily available on amazon while others will be a little harder to get hold of.
If this leaves you hungry for more check out my other photo book recommendations in these blog posts: Three recently acquired photographic publications by Jim Mortram, MiniClick and Tom Groves and Three recently acquired photo books by Maciej Dakowicz, Martin Parr and Sam Hiscox

Spilt Strap – Neoprene Camera Strap Review
As far as camera accessories go a camera strap is not as sexy as a prime lens with an über wide aperture or a carbon fibre tripod. But if your camera, lens and flash combination is above a certain weight a comfortable camera strap is a must. I find it quite surprising that straps that come with high end DSLRs are really cheap, uncomfortable and tend to be more of a camera advert than a strap.

Double Exposure app: Dubble for the iPhone review
Film swapping is something that has been going on in the analog / film side of photography for a some time. Film swappers shoot film and then send it to someone else, who will then run the already exposed film through their camera. This doubling up makes for 36 exposures of serendipitous goodness. The beauty is that neither party knows what they're gonna get.
With the release of Dubble for the iPhone we can all experience a bit of photographic serendipity with our iPhone photos. The app is used to snap photos or upload them from the photo library, and once the image is in Dubble it will randomly superimpose it with other peoples' images. Continue reading

Olympus OM-D E-M1 Hands On Review
I was invited to the Castle Leslie Estate in Ireland to experience the Olympus OM-D E-M1. The E-M1 is Olympus's new Micro Four Thirds camera that is aimed at professionals, it is not a replacement for the E-M5 but will be sold along side it. Currently the E-M1 body only is £1,299 on amazon UK and the E-M5 body only is £730.
I only spent about 12 hours with the E-M1 which I don't feel was long enough to really get to know it. But it is very similar to the older E-M5 which I had about a month with and got to know a little better.
Casetagram review – Create bespoke iPhone / Smartphone cases with your Instagram images
As I have a newly replaced iPhone due to mechanical failure, I thought it a good idea to get a new case (nothing to do with the use of the DriSuit I might add). I tried out a Casetagram iPhone case to keep my iPhone looking shiny and new. Casetagram enables you to create Smartphone and iPad cases with your own images printed on them. According to research your wallet is far more likely to get handed in if lost if there is a picture of a baby inside. I figured I would use Instagram shots of my daughter to create a montage – not quite baby photos, but it might increase the chances of my phone being returned if lost.

Sneak peak at the Samsung Galaxy NX and Galaxy S4 Zoom
Last month I was at a Samsung press event in Paris for there latest photographic devices (read about what else I was up to in Paris). There was a lot to check out, but what really stood out for me were the Samsung Galaxy NX and Galaxy Zoom. I only played with them for a few minutes each but I can say they are some of the easiest to use cameras I have ever handled.

Vibrac Corp.: Torque measure/transfer
Vibrac's new Torqo Smart Bottle System is a torque verification device which provides live data right at the capping head.
The system measures and wirelessly transmits the application torque of a capping head while it is applying a cap. The device is placed in the bottling line prior to the capping stage and is fed into the capping machine among the other bottles in line to be capped. As a cap is applied, the Torqo Smart Bottle sends a wireless live transmission of torque values to a receiver connected to a PC or laptop. Here the data is collected and processed with Vibrac data analysis software. The Torqo Smart Bottle System includes the Smart BottleTM with its unique digital torque measurement system (patent pending), transmitting and receiving components, a notebook PC, and data management software.

Estepona is often mentioned in the same breath as its glitzy neighbour, Marbella, but is much less developed—and less expensive. Alongside the new hotels and modern marina, it retains a characterful Old Town with steep, cobbled streets and tapas bars. Its beaches are among the best on this stretch of coast, including a (legal) nudist beach. There is a good golf course here and Selwo Safari Park is very close by. By night it is relatively quiet.
If you're interested in experiencing a healthy dose of local character, the top Estepona hotels are the spots for you. Situated close to some of the best Malaga treasures, these charming properties are just a stone's throw from the best boutiques, eateries, and must-see entertainment options.
Book a stay at one of the elegant hotels in Estepona to bask in the gorgeous surroundings, or scope out the smaller hotels in Estepona, Malaga, if you want something slightly more intimate.
Plus, when you plan your trip with Expedia.ca, you might even find a few cheap Estepona hotel deals and discounts that let you explore the neighbourhood's personality without spending your entire travel budget on hotel rates. Pack your weekender, grab your local map, and get ready for a trip you won't soon forget.
Thanks to the hotels near Estepona, you can score a seriously cheap deal on the vacation you've always wanted to take.

WASHINGTON -- Republican frontrunner John McCain drew sharp distinctions with his Democratic White House rivals over Iraq, saying an untimely US withdrawal would bring about "genocide."
In an interview with CNN, the presumptive Republican nominee for president slammed Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, who have said they would begin withdrawing troops from Iraq in their first months in the White House.
"Both Senator Obama and Clinton want to set a date for withdrawal. That means chaos. That means genocide," the 71-year-old Arizona senator told CNN's Larry King late Thursday.
"That means undoing all the success we've achieved, and Al-Qaeda tells the world they defeated the United States of America. I won't let that happen, as president of the United States."
Long a fervent advocate of the surge policy in Iraq, McCain praised Defense Secretary Robert Gates and called the commander of US forces in Iraq, General David Petraeus, "one of the great generals in American military history."
He might even ask Gates to stay on at the Pentagon if he is elected president, McCain hinted.
"I'll tell you, I don't know if he would stay on, or if I would even ask him or something like that, but I'm very pleased, as I think most Americans are, at the performance of Secretary Gates. I think he's done a very fine job," McCain said.
McCain, a sharp critic of Gates, predecessor Donald Rumsfeld and his handling of the war, said the current strategy with far more troops on the ground is succeeding.
"It's a strategy we should have employed from the beginning," he said.
"And neither Senator Obama nor Senator Clinton had any experience of knowledge to know that this surge would succeed," charged McCain, a Vietnam War hero and former prisoner of war.
He said Americans were "frustrated and saddened" by the sacrifices of war but that the consequences of failure were untenable.
"Look, don't listen to me. Listen to Al-Qaeda. They're the ones that say that their goal is the United States of America. And victory in Iraq is a stepping stone to that."
Clinton has said she would start withdrawing troops within 60 days of becoming president. Obama says he would have all US combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months.

The feelings I've lost
I can never find again.
The trust you've earned
Vanished in an instant.
This love that burned
Melted just like ice.
Is this really the cost;
Constant tears of pain?
Lost the love I yearned;
Disappeared in an instant.
My lesson I've learned,
After I paid the price.

Zindagi Main To Sabhi - WaziF
Lyrics & Chords
A GREAT era of ghazal singing has come to an end with the death of Ustad Mehdi Hassan Khan saheb on June 13. Whole music world, singers, poets and ordinary listers are grieved. Being an ardent fan and his lover I can't describe the pain. He has died but his voice will always remain among us. Here's a little introduction of this legend:
Mehdi Hassan, (died aged 84), Indian subcontinent's outstanding male exponent of the ghazal, a form of sung Urdu lyric verse, set to the appropriate raga melodies. Urdu poetry, which springs from the Persian, is filled with pathos, yearning, political and social injustice, loss, unrequited love and pleasure. Hassan evoked these with rare mastery, which is why devotees and eager students flocked to hear him from far and wide. It is claimed that he sang more than 50,000 ghazals during his lifetime, becoming known as the "emperor of the ghazal".
Born into a family of kalawants (professional musicians) in the village of Luna, now in the state of Rajasthan, he was taught by his father, Azeem Khan, and uncle, Ismail Khan. Dhrupad, an ancient, austere musical style, was their forte and they instilled it in the boy. While still in his teens, Hassan was recognised as a rising talent and was invited to sing for the maharajahs (King) of Jaipur and Baroda States.
However, in 1947 came independence and the creation of Pakistan, and the future of the Indian princes, upon whom the musicians were traditionally reliant, became insecure. Hassan's family, who were Muslims, migrated to Pakistan. The new country was in turmoil and there was no opening for a young man whose only trade was music. Hassan managed to get a job in a bicycle shop and graduated to become a tractor driver and mechanic. But at night, he persevered with his vocal exercises.
He soon realised that the Pakistani people had an appetite for the ghazal, so he applied himself assiduously to the study of Urdu, particularly Urdu poetry. With his knowledge of ragas and the sentiments associated with them, he discovered that he had a tremendous advantage as a composer who could marry verses to melodies.
Hassan first appeared on Radio Pakistan in 1952 and after that, his success was meteoric. Leading poets such as Faiz Ahmad Faiz, Ahmad Faraz and Qateel Shifai were happy to have their verses set to haunting music and sung by him. Hassan was now associated with the literary and musical elite. His voice featured on the soundtrack of many Pakistani films, and ghazal singers on both sides of the border paid homage to him.
Hassan thus became an abiding cultural bridge between India and Pakistan. He often returned to visit the village of his birth. His popularity in India was immense, and whenever he performed there he was heaped with garlands and gifts and showered with awards. The Indian singer Lata Mangeshkar, with whom he recorded a duet in 2009, compared his singing to "the voice of a god".
He toured the world to packed auditoriums. His visit to the Hindu kingdom of Nepal was particularly memorable. The King liked his singing and also given Gorkha Dakshina Bahu Award. Other prominent awards given are the Tamgha-i-Imtiaz granted to him by Gen Ayub Khan; the Pride of Performance bestowed on him by Gen Ziaul Haq; and the Hilal-i-Imtiaz conferred by Gen Pervez Musharraf. Besides the Nigar Film and Graduate Awards from Pakistan, he was presented the Saigal Award in Jalandhar, India, in 1979.
For the last few years Hassan had been in poor health. He was twice married. Both his wives predeceased him. He is survived by nine sons and five daughters. Here are some quotes from prominent figures:
"An icon who mesmerised music lovers" – Prime Minister of Pakistan
Lata Mangeshkar once described his voice as the Voice of God and former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was a great fan of his melodies.
Mehdi Hassan will remain alive in people's hearts. – Ghulam Ali
Deeply pained to learn of the passing away of Mehdi Hassan in Pakistan…. a vocalist of immense fame and unique sonorous voice. – Amitabh Bachchan
I had the privilege of introducing him when he first came to Mumbai for his concert in 1978. Who can ever forget the moment he started singing, "Gulon mein rang bhare. Baad-e-naubahaar chale". – Gulzar
Mehdi Hassan's death marked an end of an epoch in the subcontinent's music history. No one will ever be able to fill the vacuum created by his demise. – Alka Yagnik & Kumar Sanu
There will never be another Mehdi Hasan. – Various artistes
Presenting my humble tribute to the legend from movie "Azmat-1973" – "Zindagi Main to Sabhi Pyar Kiya Karte Hain" which was a hit and sung by various artist later on but the original taste never diminished. This was also sung as ghazal style by Khan saheb and I've given a little touch here too. Hope you'd like it. Thanks

It's a bummer if they do cut Alessio. I don't think they should. I love watching his fights. At least he brings it every time and really goes for it. He only has boring fights if they other fighter fights safe and boring. He'll be missed if he's cut. He's had some really beautiful hightlight knockouts too.

ST. LOUIS/NEW YORK, (Thomson Reuters Accelus) – The Obama administration will review a sprawling net of anti-money laundering rules and seek to correct "gaps, redundancies or inefficiencies," in the U.S. system now more than 40 years old, the Treasury Department's top official overseeing the issue said on Monday.
David Cohen, Treasury undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said the department had launched an anti-money laundering task force along with federal regulators and law enforcement agencies. The initiative comes as federal authorities crack down harder on anti-money laundering lapses, with high profile cases against financial institutions. (more…)

Gerard, You Belong With Me4 Reviews
Frank loves Gerard and Gerard loves Frank but Bert is cockblocking again Based on You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift
PS I apologise for the lyric references, I know they're cheesy but come on!
"Oh come on Bert, it was just a joke!" I can here Gerard shouting through the open window. He rakes his long, pale fingers through his messy black hair exposing his annoyed face. His arm drops heavily to his side as he presses the 'end call' button on his phone and throws it on the bed, dropping down beside it facing the window. He rubs his face roughly with both hands before looking up at me and smiling weakly. I realise I have been staring and quickly look down. I see an old writing pad and pen lay on the floor, pick it up and start to write "Are you ok?"
I turn the pad around to show Gerard, a concerned look on my face. He bends backwards and reaches down the other side of his bed and also grabs a pad and pen and starts to write. He turns the pad around and rolls his eyes, making me giggle, I read the pad and see "Tired of drama" and boy does he get a lot of that.
He has been dating his boyfriend for a year now, the captain of the cheer squad, Bert McCracken. Bert new I loved Gerard but still decided to take him for himself. Not only that, he rubs it in my face. He's not even good to Gerard, he takes advantage of him then throws him away and he always has a problem with something Gerard has said. He just doesn't get his humour like I do.
I look back down at my pad and write "Sorry :(", turn it around and shrug. I feel so sorry for Gerard sometimes, he deserves better, he belongs with me. He belongs with me… OF COURSE! I look back down to my pad and start writing again but when I look back up again, he has closed the curtains, I have lost my chance to finally tell him I love him. I sigh loudly and put my pad and pen on the bed beside me when Dig Up Her Bones by The Misfits starts blasting out of my iPod dock. This song is my JAM! I stand up and start dancing around, shouting the lyrics as loud as I can and don't stop until it ends when I flop back down on my bed and see Gerard looking at me and laughing through a small gap in his curtains, he is smiling properly for the first time I have seen in a while, exposing his small coffee-stained teeth that just makes him even cuter. I smile apologetically before he closes his curtains again. I lay down on my bed dreaming of life where Gerard is mine and Bert has pissed off to Mexico. If only…
The next morning, I'm sitting at the bus stop outside my house reading when Gerard emerges from his house looking lost in his own little world. I look back down and concentrate on my book, my jet-black fringe falling back in my face and blocking my view. I sigh heavily then hear a chuckle next to me. I look up to the space beside me to see Gerard has occupied it. He is smiling softly and when I am fully looking up he reaches forward and slowly moves my hair out of my face. I look into his brown eyes and take in how sparkling and full of life they are. We start to talk about anything that comes to mind, it is so easy yet it is something I've never seen him do with Bert, they've either been silent or Bert is raping his mouth and almost on cue, Bert turns up in his shiny red convertible.
"Hey babe, get in" Bert shouts over. Gerard sighs and stands up. He turns back to me
"I'll see you around Frank" He says but I can only wave back before Gerard turns back and gets in the car. He goes to kiss Bert's cheek but Bert turns his head and holds the back of Gerard's head almost to keep him there. Bert looks at me over Gerard's shoulder as if to rub it in more and my heart drops. I roll my eyes to show my disgust and he pushes Gerard back in his seat and drives off. I sigh deeply and return to my book, hoping to forget what just happened.
It's Friday night and I am in the bleachers with marching band cheering on the mighty Belleview Buccaneers, well everyone else is, I'm watching Gerard play, he's a great football player and the crowd erupts when he scores and wins us the game. Of course Bert starts showing off and starts doing back flips and again everyone cheers, except me. Bob, one of the drummers in the marching band nudges me.
"Are you ok dude?" He shouts over the crowd "You should be happy, we've just crushed the other team"
"I am" I shout back "It's nothing, I'm just tired"
"Oh ok" He replies "Come on, we gotta play again"
Our playing signals the end of the game and a final cheer erupts on the field as the other players pick Gerard up and parade him around. I see Gerard get down and walk over to Bert laughing but his face soon falls when he sees Bert flirting with Quinn, another guy from the team. My mouth drops wide open, who the hell would cheat on Gerard? I feel sorry for him as he walks away, rubbing his hand through his hair and shaking his head.
I decided to skip the school dance tonight to study; I had no one to go with anyway. I look up and see Gerard walk into his room wearing a black suit. He looks so handsome; I wish I could tell him that. He picks up his pad and pen and I do the same. He writes for a minute then shows me. "You going tonight?", "No, studying" I reply, shrugging. Gerard looks sad and replies "Wish you were!" I giggle as he stands up and walks out of his room.
I look back down to my chemistry book and see a note from a few nights ago
'I love you'
I'm going tonight. I'm going so I can tell Gerard the truth.
I walk into the dance in my best suit and eyeliner creatively smudged around my eyes. Gerard turns around, sees me and freezes. I didn't think I could have that effect on him. My palms are sweaty and I'm shaking slightly as I walk up to him. I look anywhere but at him to try and calm myself down but it doesn't work. I look up to see Gerard starting to walk but is soon stopped by Bert. He grabs him and starts to rub his arm but Gerard just pushes him away
"I'm sorry, I have my eye on someone else and I have done for too long" He says moving back and walking towards me.
"What?!" Bert shouts, disbelief in his voice.
I ignore him and my urge to turn and run back home and unfold my piece of paper slowly. Gerard reads it and smiles. He then remembers something and reaches into his blazer and pulls out a note that says the exact same thing to mine. I smile back and we both drop our paper on the floor, almost forgetting they are in our hands.
Gerard holds out his hand to ask me to dance and I accept. He pulls me close and holds me like we have never been apart. I can see Bert over his shoulder storming off in anger that I got Gerard. I smirk and look back at Gerard who is smiling down at me. We inch closer and closer until our lips finally meet. My eyes flutter closed as I melt into Gerard, who I can finally say belongs to me.
