Suit brought against ArmstrongThe Associated Press | February 08,2013USTIN, Texas A Dallas promotions company sued Lance Armstrong on Thursday, demanding he repay $12 million in bonuses and fees it paid him for winning the Tour de France.
SCA Promotions had tried in a 2005 legal dispute to prove Armstrong cheated to win before it ultimately settled and paid him.
Armstrong recently acknowledged using performance-enhancing drugs, and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency in 2012 detailed a sophisticated doping program by his Armstrongs teams. Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France victories and given a lifetime ban from sports.
Now, the company contends in its lawsuit, Armstrong and agent Bill Stapleton conspired to cheat SCA out of millions.
The lawsuit notes that Armstrong repeatedly testified under oath in the 2005 dispute that he did not use steroids, other drugs or blood doping methods to win, all of which he now admits to doing.
It is time now for Mr. Armstrong to face the consequences of his actions, the lawsuit said. He admits he doped; he admits he bullied people; he admits he lied.
The lawsuit names Armstrong, Stapleton and Tailwind Sports, Inc., the teams management entity, as defendants.
Tim Herman, an attorney for Armstrong and Stapleton, did not immediately return telephone messages. Herman has previously noted that SCA previously settled its case with Armstrong and said it should not be allowed to reopen the matter.
SCAs lawsuit counters that the case was settled only after Armstrongs lies under oath prevented it from proving he doped.
The lawsuit seeks to recover $9.5 million in bonus money and another $2.5 million paid to Armstrong for other costs and fees.
Separately, USADA chief executive Travis Tygart said Wednesday the agency has been in contact with him Armstrong and is giving him more time to decide if he wants to cooperate with its investigators and tell more about what he knows of doping in cycling.
USADA extended its original Wednesday deadline to Feb. 20 to work out an interview with investigators under oath.
Just two weeks ago, Herman had strongly suggested Armstrong would not be interested in talking with USADA investigators. Tygart said it was Armstrong who asked for more time.
We understand that he does want to be part of the solution and assist in the effort to clean up the sport of cycling, Tygart said in a statement. We have agreed to his request for an additional two weeks to work on details to hopefully allow for this to happen.
The agency has said cooperating in its cleanup effort is the only path open to Armstrong if his lifetime ban from sports is to be reduced.MORE IN Wire SportsCHARLOTTE, N.C.

According to the Marion County Coroner's office, the cause of death is pending toxicology results as well as histology, which is a look at tissue. It could take six weeks before those results are back.
Meanwhile, the Praise Fellowship Assembly of God's daycare is closed for the remainder of the week.
"I feel bad for them and my prayers and my heart goes out to them," Janella Watford said, referring to the family of the 1-year-old boy.
Watford's children attend the daycare at the church. Watford said her children will continue to go there.
"In their classrooms, we've never had any problems. They've been going for two years. (I've) never had any problems," Watford said.
The Praise Fellowship Assembly of God is considered a registered ministry. There are three types of child care providers in Indiana. There are licensed centers, which are commercial buildings both profit and not for profit. There are licensed homes, which are licensed and in residential buildings and care for a smaller number of children. And then there are registered ministries that are unlicensed. The qualificationsare that it has to be a faith-based organization and be considered 501 C3 not for profit.
"Registered ministries are required to meet the sanitation and some of the fire safety pieces. So, they aren't required to meet staff to child ratio's for example, supervision of children, (and) teacher training qualifications," Child Care Administrator with the Bureau of Child Care, Melanie Brizzi, said.
Brizzi said there are big differences between licensed centers and those that are registered. Once the Indianapolis Metro Police Department finishes its investigation, the Bureau of Child Care will then determine whether the church violated any of the standards it falls under.
"Until I have the facts of the case, I really can't even speculate on what our possible course of action may be," Brizzi said.
A daycare that is classified as a registered ministry, is inspected twice a year. If the department receives a complaint about any child care facility (licensed or registered), it will investigate and determine whether they can regulate it.
Should the requirements for a child care that is a registered ministry be tougher? Brizzi said, "all children deserve to be healthy and safe and so what does that need to look like? I think that is the question we need to be asking."
There are registered ministries that have decided to voluntarily meet higher standards of quality, according to Brizzi. She said the daycare can recieve a Voluntary Certificate of VCP. Brizzi said the Praise Fellowship Assembly of God does not have a voluntary certificate.
Brizzi said there are a number of child care facilities that have joined the quality rating and improvement system. It is called 'Paths to Quality.' She said people should look for its logo.
According to Brizzi, the Indiana Department of Child Services will be involved and look into the case.

The Modular Nature of Trustworthiness Detection
AbstractThe capacity to trust wisely is a critical facilitator of success and prosperity, and it has been conjectured that people of higher intelligence were better able to detect signs of untrustworthiness from potential partners. In contrast, this article reports five Trust Game studies suggesting that reading trustworthiness on the faces of strangers is a modular process. Trustworthiness detection from faces is independent of general intelligence (Study 1) and effortless (Study 2). Pictures that include non-facial features such as hair and clothing impair trustworthiness detection (Study 3) by increasing reliance on conscious judgments (Study 4), but people largely prefer to make decisions from this sort of pictures (Study 5). In sum, trustworthiness detection in an economic interaction is a genuine and effortless ability, possessed in equal amount by people of all cognitive capacities, but whose impenetrability leads to inaccurate conscious judgments and inappropriate informational preferences.

Since the age of 15, television producer/director John Greenewald, Jr. has investigated government secrets through the use of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Over his 17-year career, John has filed more than 3,500 FOIA requests to nearly every government and military office. Using his knowledge of thousands of formerly classified documents, Greenewald will present a compelling and near irrefutable case for the existence of UFOs.
Greenewald's well-known on-line archive, The Black Vault, is the largest private on-line collection of its type in the world, featuring 70,000 declassified documents. His web site has now become a reference source for many writers and researchers. John's first book, Beyond UFO Secrecy, has recently been expanded and republished. Greenewald is also a frequent on camera expert for the TV show, Unsealed.

Back in August of 2012 I took a risk. I introduced something new - the Mystery Pattern. I offered a pattern at a bargain price but the catch was that to get that price you had to pre-order the pattern before it was released and with only minimal information about what the pattern would be.
The brave participants who took the risk with me knew that the doll was an advanced level doll. They knew that she was freestanding and female. They knew her costume was period and that she could be used as a holiday doll or as an everyday themed doll.
They didn't know that the finished doll looked like this and was called Counting Down the Days:
Each participant signed up for a Yahoo Group through which the pattern was released in sections over a 5 week period.
And just look what just some of the participants came up with:
This is Christine Chumley's version of my Mystery Pattern/Counting Down the Days pattern.
Carmela Anjos' version of the Mystery Doll/Couting Down the Days pattern.
Kate Erbach created this lovely version of the Mystery Pattern.
Leanne Martin combined two different patterns that I designed to come up with this doll - Leanne used the torso, head, arms and hands from my Treasures of the Deep pattern. The doll's jacket and hat came from my Counting Down the Days pattern, though it was tweaked a little bit to give it the length that Leanne wanted. Leanne added other custom touches with inserted Fimo eyes and a plastic bottle for the lower body!
Although I made my Counting Down the Days doll into an Advent Calendar, this pattern works well for all times of year as Suzanne Page proved when she made her version of the doll into an Easter beauty.
If you want to try making this doll, visit my Etsy shop to purchase the pattern or download it instantly at my Craftsy shop.
I think this Mystery Doll idea was a risk worth taking - just look at what wonderful work it inspired. What risks are you going to take creatively or personally this year?

We encourage everyone to organize a dinner or any other event they're interested in. If you have any interest in planning an event contact us!
1. One to two weeks ahead of time: Decide on which day you would like to schedule your lunch/dinner. From the Spring 2014 Doodle poll, the most convenient time slots are: Monday lunch, Monday dinner, Tuesday dinner, Wednesday lunch, Wednesday dinner, Thursday dinner. The time for dinner is usually 6 pm and for lunch it is 12 pm, but these are not strict guidelines.
2. One week to four days ahead of time: Send out an announcement to the wphys dash 13 at mit email list with the date and time. Ask for RSVPs so you know roughly how much food to get.
3. Two days before: Order the food. Check out some restaurant delivery aggregate sites such as DiningIn for ideas, and be sure that they can deliver to MIT at the time you want. Order some dishes that meet the "current dietary requirements" at the end of this page. Typically dinners come out to about $10-15 per person and lunch is about $6-8 per person. Tips to the delivery person should stay within the 15% range and be written into the receipt. Have the food delivered at least 15 minutes before the lunch/dinner is scheduled to start. Be sure to request that the order be sales-tax free, using MIT's tax exemption number, 04-2103594. They may want the forms ST-2 and/or ST-5, which can be found at the bottom of this page.
4. The day of: Call the restaurant to confirm the order and delivery. Send out one last reminder to wphys-13. Arrive a little early to 6C-247 or wherever else you agreed to meet the delivery person at. Get an itemized receipt. Save the receipt so you can be reimbursed. Make sure the room gets cleaned up after the event.
5. The next day: For reimbursement, follow these instructions.

Teen Takes Educators to Twitter School
Fifteen-year-old Adora Svitak knows students nowadays "live, work and play" social media. "We're used to the characteristics of social media: participation, connection, instant gratification," she tells Mashable, "and when school doesn't offer the same, it's easy to tune out." To help more educators learn about the benefits of using social media in the classroom, Adora recently taught nearly 3,000 teachers, principals and administrators how to implement Twitter and Facebook into their lives.

Daily Talker: Northwestern Uniforms Patriotic or Crass?
Northwestern University is the target of criticism over football uniforms intended to support wounded troops. The design is meant to depict a flag that has been flown for a long period of time, with proceeds from sales benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project. But some critics call the design crass, because it appears the red stripes appear to be bleeding.

Nearly 500 USD students are still homeless Tuesday night after a burst pipe flooded the ground floor of the Coyote Village dormitory. Residents are either staying with friends or are being put up in nearby hotels.
It's night two of the Coyote Village evacuation and for many residents they're still recovering from a long, uncomfortable situation.
"Last night actually found a place to stay at about 1 o'clock in the morning at my friends apartment and I ended up sleeping on the hardwood floor because they lent out all the other beds they had to other people." Said Matt Haase.
Haase is a sophomore at USD and is now staying at the Super 8 Motel. He and hundreds of other displaced residents have made finding a vacant room impossible in Vermillion. By suddenly living off campus, some students view this situation as the glass half empty.
"It's kind of an inconvenience going back-and-forth to get my stuff, my books, my computer, my clothes so I'm ready to get back in there." Said Ben Kramer.
While others see it as the glass half full.
"We're fighting over a king-size bed right now that's about the biggest worry we have right now, that and we have some food back in the dorms we're worried might spoil and that's about it." Said Keyen Lage.
The school's professors have been understanding of the situation but unfortunately for some students the class schedule didn't change.
"I know a few people still had to wake up and take test at 8 o'clock in the morning after staying up all night trying to find a place sleep... Yeah it's rough." Said Haase.
Any other night the Coyote Village would be completely lit up, but as you can see the power is still turned off. That's large in part due to water leaking into the mechanical room and onto the building's electrical equipment. But the school says they're optimistic they'll get the nearly 500 students that call this place home back in soon.
"I've heard we got several more days, I'm not looking forward to it." Said Haase.
"Hopefully it's not a couple days, hopefully can get in there tomorrow." Said Kramer.
The school says only a handful of rooms saw any kind of water damage but they are still waiting for the right parts to be found and installed before students will be let back in.

Will I Ever Sleep Again? Help!
Notes from a New Mom: Though my 1-year-old is now (finally) sleeping through the night (well, at least most of the time), it seems I am now in the pattern of being up all night myself. In fact, I don't remember the last time I got a full night's sleep -- "full" meaning 7 or 8 hours. People always told me, "Sleep will never be the same after you have a baby," but I didn't realize they'd meant I would never sleep again!
My daughter goes to bed around 7; I go to bed around 8:30 and am usually up again at midnight, then at 2, then at 5:30. I wake up feeling absolutely exhausted. I have a really hard time falling asleep too, not to mention getting back to sleep. When my daughter was a newborn, I was given Ambien to help me get back to sleep. That doesn't really help, though, because I am still up every three hours ....
I have tried warm milk, chamomile tea, a heating pad, reading, meditation, praying and every kind of medicine out there. I can't fall and stay asleep. I think it's affecting my everyday life, my relationship, my moods, my sex life -- everything. ESPECIALLY my moods. It seems I just can't seem to get a handle on them, because I'm just tired all day long and feel like I'm often grumpy and complaining.
Moms, what do I do? Is there anything I haven't tried? Is there something natural I can buy to get me to sleep? Some magic potion? I am desperate. This is ruining my life! Help!
I have suffered insomnia since I had my daughter 10 years ago! She was one of those children who never slept well, still even at 10 she doesn't sleep nearly as much as her peers (she averages 8 hours a night while most 10 year olds sleep close to 10 or more). Going to bed at 9 or 10 and waking up completely on her own around 6.
She stopped napping at 6 months, until she was 2 she got up at LEAST once a night. I got in the habbit of staying up till midnight and then WAKING her up to take her to the bath room or give her water so then I could sleep from 1230 to about 530. Now that of course she can still do these things for herself I am still in the habit of sleeping very very little. Some things, such as self meditation have taught me to go to sleep better but on average I sleep 5 - 6 hours a night, during times of stress I still closer to 3 - 4. My body just seems to have rewired to need little rest.
Making the most of the uninterupted period of rest is key for me. Once I wake up I DO NOT go back to bed both because I generally am very awake but also I actually find I feel worse if I do. So if I'm up at 3 am, I'm up at 3 am and deal with it. Following a bad sleep night I do NOT go to bed either either, no matter how exusted I am. If I do I'll just perpetuate the cycle. If I go to bed exusted at 1130 I'll sleep till 5 am, if I go to bed exusted at 830 I'll be up at 2.
I find that going to bed every night at the same time helps. I also used to catch 10 or 15 minutes catnaps during the day and I have completely cut that out. I would advise you to go to the doctors and see if your hormones are normal. I went thru insomia for a couple of weeks last year and it turned out that my hormones were off.
Get your Vitamin D levels checked.
First I would go to the doctor for a complete work up. Then try melatonin. It works wonders for many, many people. You are going to have to do a bit of research for what dosages and where you can find it but it's much better for you than sleeping pills. You may also want to try a later bed time and a sleep routine along with the supplement.
I had this problem once and it turned into a bad situation because I stopped being able to function. I tried EVERYTHING natural and then went to ambien and lunesta and just like you said, you can go to sleep but can't stay asleep. I ended up being on a medication called trazadone for 2 months and then weened of it very slowly, I've never had a problem since. It was like my body needed to be retaught what to do. You should also have your thyroid checked just to be safe.

|Main ingredient(s)
|Whipped cream, whisky, honey (preferably heather honey), raspberries, oatmeal
Cranachan (Scottish Gaelic: Crannachan Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [ˈkʰɾan̪ˠəxan]) is a traditional Scottish dessert. In modern times it is usually made from a mixture of whipped cream, whisky, honey (preferably heather honey), and fresh raspberries, with toasted oatmeal soaked overnight in a little whisky. Atholl brose is a drink using similar ingredients but does not contain raspberries. Earlier recipes used crowdie cheese rather than (or as well as) cream, and were sometimes called cream-crowdie. Other earlier recipes are more austere, omitting the whisky and treating the fruit as an optional extra.
A traditional way to serve cranachan is to bring dishes of each ingredient to the table, so that each person can assemble their dessert to taste. Tall dessert glasses are also of typical presentation.
It was originally a summer dish and often consumed around harvest time, but is now more likely to be served all year round and on special occasions. A variant dish was ale-crowdie, consisting of ale, treacle and whisky with the oatmeal - served at a wedding with a ring in the mixture: whoever got the ring would be the next to marry.
One traditional recipe for cranachan is 3 ounces (85 g) pinhead oatmeal, 1⁄2 imperial pint (280 ml) double (or whipping) cream, and 2 tablespoons (35 ml) of whisky. The oatmeal should be toasted in a pan over a high heat then dust should be sifted out. The oatmeal is soaked in whisky overnight and then added to the whipped cream, with a little more whisky added to the mixture. Some raspberries are placed in the bottom of the serving glass before adding the cream mixture. An option is to break up some of the raspberries and gently blend into the mixture. The volume of whisky used may be adjusted to personal taste, but it should be a subtle hint rather than a strong flavour.

Idaho upheld a law permitting bicyclists to produce stop signs as produce signs and red lights as stop signs in 1982. Since that time many bicycling advocates have attempted to widespread this law to other states, and have been met with clever resistance. These efforts continue, as recently as this summer, and a strides that cyclists have done given a early 80s have not lessened a calls for this reform.
More than 30 years after Idaho upheld a law, a justification suggests that it is a safe and effective reform. In 2008, Jason Meggs contacted Idaho's Office of Highway and Traffic Safety and analyzed statewide yearly summaries of trade injuries and fatalities, including summaries by county and mode. His research found no justification of a long-term boost in damage or deadliness rates as a outcome of a adoption of a "Idaho stop" law. In 1983, a year after a law was adopted, bicycle damage rates declined by 14.5 percent and there was no change in a series of bicycle fatalities.
While there has not nonetheless been most transformation towards broader adoption of a "Idaho stop" there has been some approval that trade signals do not always work good for bicycles. This has led to a series of laws, infrequently called "dead red" laws, that concede bicycles and certain other vehicles that are not always sensed by trade signals to legally ensue by a red light that does not detect them. These laws are some-more limited, though produce an homogeneous conditions where a order is mutated given a trade control was not designed for all vehicles.
This post will plead a "Idaho stop" and "dead red" laws together given they both cgange manners for bicyclists when entering an intersection tranquil by a trade control device.
Spotlight State: Idaho
The "Idaho stop" law is unequivocally comprised of dual manners that cgange how bicyclists produce trade control inclination that control intersections. The initial order is a genuine "Idaho stop" in that it modifies how bicyclists produce stop signs. Although several localities have adopted identical rules, it is singularly singular as a state law.
When bicyclists in Idaho ensue a stop pointer they:
- Slow down, and if compulsory for safety, stop.
Yield a right-of-way to any car in a intersection or approaching, if a coming car will emanate a jeopardy while they cranky a intersection.
- Proceed after reasonably negligence and agreeable though stopping.
The second order is a really approving red light exception. While all other red light exceptions enclose denunciation that indicates that move opposite a red light is usually suitable when a vigilance fails to detect a bicyclist, a difference in Idaho contains no such language. As with a "Idaho stop" a reason for a law is encouraging cycling by origination it easier.
When cyclists in Idaho ensue a red light they:
- Stop.
- Yield to all other traffic.
- Proceed by a red light with caution.
In addition, a bicyclist can ensue by a red light after yielding, though stopping, if origination a right turn. Since a law was adopted in 1982 a usually change has been a clarification of a red light exception. That change simplified that a cyclist contingency come to a stop when origination a left spin onto a one-way highway, rather than in a same demeanour as when origination a right turn.
What are they?
An "Idaho stop" law allows a bicyclist to produce a stop pointer as a produce sign. Therefore, rather than being compulsory to come to a stop, a bicyclist is compulsory to delayed down, stop if compulsory for safety, and produce a right of approach to any coming car or walking before move by an intersection tranquil by a stop sign. This is an "Idaho stop" given it has been a law in Idaho given 1982, though might some-more functionally be referred to as a "stop as yield" or "yield-stop" law. Since this is a authorised maneuver, it is not to be confused with a use of engineer rolling stops, famous colloquially as a "California stop."
For an glorious reason of a "Idaho stop," watch this video by Spencer Boomhower.
Red light exceptions take several forms and might also be referred to as "dead red" laws. Most of these laws are a greeting to a inability of trade lights to detect tiny vehicles, such as motorcycles and bicycles. These laws concede certain vehicles to ensue by a red light after interlude for a specified volume of time. The vital facilities of these laws that change by state are: 1) a conditions underneath that a car can ensue by a intersection, 2) a inlet of a light that can ignored, and 3) possibly there are additional education for a exception.
Why should we care?
The "Idaho stop" gets a lot of clever reactions within a bicycling community. "Dead red" laws get reduction press. However, both fit together given they are, during slightest in part, reactions to a problems of being a cyclist in a trade complement that was not designed for cyclists. You should caring about these laws given they make cycling easier and, formed on a accessible evidence, make it safer. In a universe where governments are origination good strides to foster cycling as a resolution to health and environmental problems, and as a pivotal to mercantile development, laws that make cycling easier though carrying a quantifiable downside should be an easy sell.
One problem with a "Idaho stop" is that it undermines an thought that has good mindshare in a cycling community: "Same road, same rules." The "Idaho stop" is clearly a box of "same road, opposite rules." Earlier this year an opinion square on a BBC offering that motorists hatred cyclists "when they use a roads though don't follow a same manners as cars." The attribute between motorists and bicyclists is expected not that simple, though a chronological joining of both cyclists and motorists to this thought contributes to origination a "Idaho stop" politically perilous for cycling advocates and creates it formidable to plead a merits of trade behaviors that cyclists do, though motorists can't do.
The League supports a growth of trade laws that safeguard a satisfactory and unchanging diagnosis of cyclists. We do not now have a position on "Idaho stop" and "dead red" laws. Our core beliefs embody following a manners of a highway including all trade signs, signals, and markings. "Idaho stop" and "dead red" laws might have many certain advantages and have not been shown to be dangerous, though are now not widespread. Responsible cyclists should follow a manners of their state and internal jurisdictions. Many of a inconveniences of uncalled-for stop signs and trade lights that do not detect bicyclists can be mitigated or solved by engineering solutions, such as a origination of bicycle boulevards and improved practiced signals.
Who has them?
Idaho is a usually state that has both a stop as produce order and a red light difference that allows a cyclist to ensue by a red light after yielding.
Arizona, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Tennessee, Utah, and Wisconsin concede bicyclists to ensue by an potential and/or malfunctioning light after possibly a specified duration of time or a reasonable duration of time.
South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin concede cyclists to ensue by a red light after possibly a specified duration of time or a reasonable duration of time.
Tennessee and Wisconsin validate their laws in singular ways. Tennessee requires that a intersection indeed be tranquil by a car showing device. Wisconsin requires that a bicyclist have a reasonable faith that a intersection is tranquil by a car showing device. Under possibly law, a cyclist should take additional caring to safeguard that they can ensue by a intersection and should reconnoitre themselves with common car showing devices. Utah's law usually relates to persons age 16 or comparison and will nightfall in Jul 2014.
Washington State has a law that requires signals to be practiced to customarily and reliably detect bicycles. However, there is no law that allows a bicyclist to ensue by a vigilance that fails to detect a bicycle or differently does not change for a specified or reasonable duration of time.

Where did they come from?
There is no Uniform Vehicle Code (UVC) sustenance homogeneous to an "Idaho stop" or "Dead red" law. Obedience to trade lights is generally dealt with in UVC §11-202 and tractability to stop and produce signs is dealt with in UVC §11-403. The authorisation of internal regulations of bicycles is addressed in a UVC in territory 15-102(a)(8). An glorious story of a Idaho law is accessible here.

More Than 2.5 Billion Cellular Lines in the World
Posted on 7-Sep-2006 13:28.
Filed under:
According to estimates from Wireless Intelligence, a venture between market intelligence firm Ovum and the GSM Association, the total number of cellular connections in the world will reach 2.5 billion, having passed through the 2 billion mark just 12 months ago,
The cellular industry took 20 years to reach 1 billion connections, three years to reach 2 billion connections and is on target to reach its third billion in a period of just over two years, says Martin Garner, Director of Wireless Intelligence.
Worldwide growth is currently running at over 40 million new connections per month - the highest volume of growth the market has ever seen.
Over the four quarters to the end of September 2006, world total net additions were 484 million. Of these, 41% were in Asia Pacific. Eastern Europe and Latin America together accounted for 30% of the growth. Africa took 10% of the growth and the relatively mature markets of Western Europe, North America and the Middle East took the remaining 20% in more or less equal measure.
Most of the growth is coming from cellular markets with lower levels of market penetration than exists in Europe for example, says Garner. These are often referred to as emerging markets, although many of them now have very large, well developed and sophisticated cellular markets with market penetration moving quickly towards European levels.
The top ten countries for volume of new connections over the last year were China, India, Russia, USA, Pakistan, Ukraine, Brazil, Indonesia, Nigeria and Bangladesh. Between them, they account for over half of the growth in the world cellular market over the last 12 months.
A quarter of the growth is coming from China and India. Chinas market is still expanding at more than 5 million new connections per month. India has moved rapidly up the top ten list, with the rate of new connections quadrupling over the last 18 months to reach a level very close to Chinas.
According to Wireless Intelligence forecasts the next half billion new connections will take a little longer to be added 16 months meaning that the market is on track to reach 3 billion connections around the end of 2007.

Feathered hair
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (March 2007)
Feathered hair was a hairstyle popular in the 1970s and the early 1980s with men and women. The hair was grown long on both sides (normally covering the ears, although it could be shoulder length), unlayered (although some men with curly hair did have it layered), with either a side or a centre parting. The hair would be brushed back at the sides, giving an appearance similar to the feathers of a bird.
The haircut gained phenomenal popularity in the early 1970s. Many celebrities wore this style at some time or another including Tim Brooke Taylor of The Goodies and Eric Idle (who wore it for a short time between about 1969 and 1971), Farrah Fawcett, and Don Johnson. Today, feathered hair is cut so as to wave gently, and is generally mid-length. Notable wearers include Hayden Panettiere, Heather Locklear and Naomi Watts.

GLENDALE FEDERAL BASHES BIG BANKS / The Brains, Voice Behind the Barbs / April Winchell -- Glen Fed's radio warrior,
Peter Sinton, Chronicle Senior Writer

You may not know April Winchell, but no doubt you've heard her on the radio, whining about Wells Fargo and other big banks.
Winchell is the most notable and quotable warrior in Glendale Federal Bank's guerrilla marketing campaign aimed at consumers who may be fed up with bank mergers, rising fees and faltering service.
She not only delivers her 60-second radio broadsides, she also writes and produces them from her Los Angeles advertising firm.
This year, Glendale Bank has been picking up about 6,000 net new checking account customers a month, thanks largely to Glendale CEO Stephen Trafton's all-out offensive against bigger rivals. Glendale has a full armory of weapons -- print ads, billboards (some mounted on barges and recreational vehicles), TV spots and Winchell's sarcastic radio blasts.
In one recent installment, Winchell sings a tune reminiscent of Rawhide, that starts out: "Merging, merging, merging, my old bank is merging, and I'm going out of my mind."
The relentless campaign has garnered Winchell and her firm, Radio Savant, several advertising awards. She also has been invited to appear on news and talk shows and is writing and starring in a pilot TV sitcom -- about two down-on- their-luck lounge singers -- that Winchell describes as a cross between "Absolutely Fabulous" and "Peewee's Playhouse."
The daughter of ventriloquist Paul Winchell (of Jerry Mahoney and Nucklehead Smiff fame), April Winchell learned vocal gymnastics at a young age. In addition to the Glen Fed Lady, Winchell, 36, is the voice of Mighty Duck in a new Disney TV cartoon show this fall about hockey-playing ducks from another planet. She was Baby Herman in the film "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" and plays the robot in the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon.
The nonstop whine she developed for Glen Fed "is a lot like me but more bloated," said Winchell. "I'm just saying out loud what a lot of people are feeling (about mergers and service). I've turned into a clearinghouse for angst."
Roseanne Arnold and Bette Midler have called to compliment her on the commercials, which air up and down California.
Not all the response has been favorable, however. "The first wave was complaints, mostly from men," Winchell recalls. "One said that PMS can be treated." In the normally genteel world of banking, Glendale's ad attacks have been jarring. Trafton insists that the tactics are nothing more than "good-natured poking fun of the big banks." In fact, with $14.5 billion in assets and 172 offices in California, Glendale is not exactly a mom-and-pop bank.
Wells Fargo spokeswoman Kim Kellogg conceded that Winchell's barbs are "clever and good-natured fun." But she claims that some Glendale employees are engaging in tactics that "cross the line," such as soliciting Wells Fargo employees and customers in Wells branches and parking lots and handing out aspirin to Wells customers.
Wells Fargo has asked police to investigate harassment in the Los Angeles area.
"The charges are absurd," said Trafton. "Our employees can put together their own marketing plans and are encouraged to be aggressive within the limits of good taste. But they are not authorized to go onto private property."
To keep her commercials fresh, Winchell has accounts at four or five different banks and spends plenty of time in teller lines. She would not divulge where she banks, but Glendale's Trafton said that his radio star has accounts at Wells Fargo and BankAmerica as well as his bank.
Glendale is Winchell's only financial services client, but she also does ads for Alamo Rent-A-Car, Q-Lube, Mailboxes Etc., Jack-in-The Box and Ortho.
Despite her Glen Fed persona, and the fact that she and her husband (who writes print ads for Glendale) own two pit bulls, Winchell said that she doesn't sound angry in every role. But it doesn't hurt being controversial.
She notes with glee that in a recent ad for Ortho pesticides that played in Southern states, she talked about how much fun it was to kill fire ants. That brought an angry letter from one animal rights group, applause from another and erupted in controversy covered by newspapers. The important thing, said Winchell, is that "Ortho flew off the shelves."
QUOTES FROM ADS(1) "I just got a letter from my bank. I knew it was from my bank because they spelled my name wrong." (2) "If you don't pay an extra service charge, your statement may include words like 'approximately' and give or take.'" (3) "For a summary of the new ways we'll be jerking you around, press 1. For a list of employees you liked who have been fired, press 2. To be placed on hold and left there for up to six minutes before being disconnected, press the star key." (4) "I tell you, they're onto something with this grocery bank thing. Think how much time we"d save if other businesses started doing this. You could get a pedicure at the library, a haircut at the dry cleaner and still have time to get your teeth cleaned at the gas station!" (5) "Why a stagecoach? . . . Well I think that means that things are slow and it takes a long time to get anywhere . . . Or maybe it just has something to do with the fact that a stagecoach is usually attached to the back end of a horse."

In 1997, Delaware joined a number of other states in creating a boot camp, geared toward giving young, first time offenders a chance to turn their life around, but like many of them, today, Delaware announced the boot camp program has been shut down.
"Since this program is not meeting their needs, it's not meeting our needs," said Robert Coupe, Commissioner of the Delaware Department of Corrections, speaking frankly on the closure.The DOC is finally putting the boot down on boot camp, after years of poor results and failed attempts. The first evaluation was done in 2001. That's when the department of corrections learned more than 60% of the graduates from the first class had re-offended.
Commissioner Coupe says "they brought in a stronger educational piece, substance use disorder treatment, things like that so they incorporated that into the program and they saw some initial success."
But the boot camp couldn't keep enough first-time offenders to make it cost effective, with many opting out of the six month military-style program, choosing to serve their already short sentences. To bring in more bodies, the requirements changed. Instead, the new recruites had serious rap sheets, some with more than 15 felony arrests, and some took advance of the system.
"If a drug dealer had a sentence, maybe 3 to 4 years they were facing, if they come through the boot camp, follow all the rules, they can shorten that sentence to 6 months on the inside, so an offender with that mindset could take advantage of the system, yes," says Commissioner Coupe, "so that changed the success rate of the program, and actually, the success declined."
By the end, more than 70 percent of boot camp cadets found themselves back in handcuffs.
A dormitory style building was constructed specifically for the boot camp at Sussex Correctional Institute. Now, Corrections is working to figure out other ways to utilize the space, which can house up to 150 people.
the DOC is also evaluating a number of other programs, including its drug treatment initiatives.

Around a decade ago, the Peugeot 106 Rallye and the Citroen Saxo VTS were two of the most popular cars amongst the youth. in Europe. They were so much fun actually, that they quickly became cult cars. Back then, owning a small French hatchback was enough to make you cool. When those manufacturers decided that the typical lift-off oversteer was too much fun and switched to other types of rear suspension, the "Rallye movement" slowly died.
This time round, the replacement of what the 106/Saxo used to be back then, comes from Volkswagen, in the form of the Scirocco. The Scirocco is relatively affordable and features a unique design with strong youthful appeal. The materials are of good quality and the engine choices are excellent. You can get 160hp from a small 1.4l engine, branded TSI and featuring both a turbocharger (KKK K03) and a supercharger (Rotrex), which is nothing short of amazing. Creating a new icon, was very easy for VW, in the end, as the recipe "unique design, affordable, power" works every time.
Now VW has revealed a new version of the Scirocco – called the GTS – celebrating the first generation Scirocco GTS, originally revealed in 1982. The 2012 Scirocco GTS differentiates itself from the other Sciroccos with specially designed sports car stripes on the bonnet, roof and tailgate. Also as standard comes a new set of 18″ wheel rims, custom bumpers, a sporty rear diffuser and tailgate spoiler as well as a few GTS badges. In the interior a new black and red trim combination can be found, combined with the legendary golf ball style gear lever. For more details check our photo gallery and VW's press release, after the jump.

Scirocco GTS with decorative stripes in racing car style
New Scirocco GTS to launch in Europe and China this autumn
Scirocco GTS debuts with black-painted 18-inch alloy wheels
Wolfsburg /Leipzig, June 2012. In the trade fair city of Leipzig Volkswagen is presenting an extremely sporty special edition model of the Scirocco: the new GTS. Exactly thirty years ago, the original forefather of the GTS rolled off the production line – based on the Scirocco II. Distinctive features of the GTS then as now: an exterior and interior individualised in sporty style. A reminder in 2012 of that original model is the golf ball gear lever– it originally made its debut in the early Golf GTI, but between 1982 and '84 also adorned the Scirocco GTS. Now, with the launch of the latest model, what is probably the most famous Volkswagen accessory of the 70s and 80s is celebrating its comeback, creating a link between the two eras. The Scirocco GTS has been designed for the European and Chinese markets. Delivering up to 155 kW /210 PS, the coupé will be available from dealerships this autumn.
Bodywork décor and 18-inch wheel rims as standard
Identifying features of the Scirocco GTS in terms of bodywork are specially designed sports car stripes on the bonnet, roof (including rear spoiler) and tailgate. Red brake callipers (2.0 TSI, 210 PS), customdesigned front and rear bumpers, exposed side sills, body-coloured side trim, wing mirrors colour coordinated with the stripes, burnished 18-inch 'Thunder' alloy wheels (striking spoked rims) with black trim, a sporty diffuser and the rear tailgate spoiler from the Scirocco R, plus GTS badges on the front wings finish off the exterior design details to perfection. As an alternative option, the Scirocco GTS can also be ordered with black 19-inch 'Lugano' alloys. The decorative GTS trim is coordinated with the vehicle colour. In essence, two broad stripes run centrally from the bonnet over the roof, including roof edge spoiler, all the way to the bottom edge of the tailgate.
On each side of these runs a further thin stripe. The following colour combinations are available: if the Scirocco is painted in 'Indium Grey Metallic' or 'Candy White', the two broad stripes are in 'Deep Black' and the wing mirrors and outer thin ones in 'Salsa Red'. If, on the other hand, the Scirocco GTS is ordered in 'Salsa Red', the outer stripes and thus the wing mirrors are 'Candy White' (the middle ones remaining 'Deep Black'). As a fourth colour Volkswagen offers the 'Deep Black' pearl-effect finish for the vehicle body paintwork. In this case the broad central stripes are white ('Candy White') and the outer ones and wing mirrors red ('Salsa Red').
Exclusive interior with red contrasting stitchin
Inside the car the dominant colours are black and red. For example, decorative inserts: the trim elements in front of the driver and frontseat passenger are black ('Black Peak'); the central console aperture around the audio and air conditioning system, the frames around the air inlets and the decorative inserts in the door handles are finished in keeping with this in classy piano lacquer. All other interior materials are in either black or anthracite – including the gear lever knob in legendary golf ball style.
Red double lap seams form a contrast to the black, appearing on the seats, gear lever sleeve, hand brake lever, sports steering wheel, safety belts, central armrest and door armrests. Also red: the GTS logo on the front seatbacks and the edging around the floor mats. Bright metal elements, meanwhile, embellish the DSG gear knob (the DSG / direct shift gearbox is available as an option), the audio and air conditioning controls and the buttons for the electric windows. Also in metal are the GTS logo within the steering wheel spoke and the door handles (inside).

YUM!! This is great! But the first step confuses me. Is it to dry out the tofu before putting on coating? I have a good non-stick pan but it always sticks to the pan making a mess. Next time I may try to just press the water out of the tofu before I cut it and then pat it dry and start the dredging process. Has anyone else skipped the first step or pressed out the tofu first?
Parmesan-Herb Crusted Tofu Sandwich
Photo: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Styling: Lydia E. DeGaris
The secret to this sandwich is to slice the tofu very thin, then bread with the parmesan-herb mixture thickly. Water-packed firm tofu works best here; the silken tofu is just too delicate, unless you're immensely careful.

PRESS RELEASE: World Maker Faire Returns
QUEENS, NY—(Marketwire - Aug 20, 2012) - World Maker Faire returns to New York Hall of Science (NYSCI) on Saturday, September 29 from 10am to 7pm, and Sunday, September 30 from 10am to 6pm to showcase the world's most extraordinary gathering of DIY talents in science, technology, crafting, fashion, food, sustainability, and more.
Bling is the Thing
Late last month, 450 of New York's top business and community leaders gathered to discuss important topics such as the need to engage our youth in the sciences, the challenge of mitigating climate change, the direction of our nation's educational system, and … how to create your own bling.
Using an LED and a battery, the Create-Your-Own-Bling project was a big hit at this year's Evening of Science and Inspiration, NYSCI's annual fundraising gala, which raised $1 million to support NYSCI's research and programs. Using a theme of Design, Make, Play, the evening included activities such as building paper air dancers, writing laser graffiti, and doodling in the dark.
This year's honorees included Google, which received the Vision & Benture Award for bold corporate vision to establish a creative corporate environment for achievement in science and technology; Kevin Parker, head of Deutsche Bank Global Asset Management, who received the Global Science Award for world-renowned excellence in engineering, technology and visionary leadership; and John Slaughter, the first African-American director of the National Science Foundation and former CEO of the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering, who was awarded the Distinguished Leadership Award for transformation, ingenuity and excellence in science.
Banana Worm Bread, Anyone?
No carbs, lo carbs, cabbage soup, lemonade… heck, even princesses have their own diet. But could a food plan that includes bugs be the next big diet fad?
Many cultures throughout the world include insects in their diets, but here in the United States, the idea has yet to catch on. David Gracer is working to change that. An English teacher, writer and naturalist, Gracer advocates the eating of insects as an excellent source of nutrition and as an intelligent food choice for an overcrowded planet. Bugs, after all, are a good, and plentiful, source of protein, vitamins and minerals.
Gracer will be at NYSCI this weekend as part of the Dead or Alive Halloween event. He will talk about the value of insects in human diets and will even offer bug tastings all day.
If you like what you taste, you can make a bug-filled day of it by dining at nearby El Globo, where they serve quesadillas a los chapulines (grasshopper quesadillas), a Mexican specialty.
So hop, wriggle or worm your way over to NYSCI this weekend. You don't want to miss this event – everyone will be buzzing about it!
Dragon Boat Family Day

Dragon Boat competitors from all over the North East coast will be manning these "ergometer" machines that have been modified to have paddles, and are hooked up to large display screens so visitors can race against each other.
For the full schedule click here.
Presented by NYSCI and the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival in New York. This program is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Sciences.

|It's his opinion...
Feel free to disagree with him, but unfortunately I think he'll be proven right. This is by far the best defense we've faced this season. Given the shaky play of the interior of the OL, Devin's tendency to turn the ball over under pressure, the complete lack of a running game, our underwhelming defense, our mediocre road record under Hoke, and our propensity to play without the same fire and intensity that MSU does in this game, and that spells trouble. There just isn't much reason to be optimistic.

|Yeah, but...
Yes, but the game was quite a bit closer than the score indicates, right? It was 14-7 at the half.
Both the o-line and d-line have looked very average at times against inferior opponents. Its worrisome.
Yes, the Big Ten isn't good, but I don't see this team beating MSU or Northwestern on the road or Ohio State at home. Happy Valley next week could be tough, too.

It was more than just an awful game, this team got manhandled and then....it appeared to me they flat out quit.

Yep, you are the voice of reason. Based on what we've seen so far this season, there is really no reason to believe we'll beat MSU on the road. The game will probably unfold exactly as Cold War says: fall way behind early, comeback, then lose. I think we'll lose by 8-12 points.

|It seems that DB was telling the truth...
It seems that DB was telling the truth when he said after the OSU game that he would conduct a review after the bowl game and make a decision at that point. I was hoping he was lying. I thought that was said to get the media off his back. I believed he had made the decision to fire RR and would use the break before the bowl game to do a search and vet candidates. I thought he realized that after the last fiasco of a coaching search, it would be vitally important to have a plan in place to announce the new head coach shortly after the firing of RR.
I guess I was wrong. And DB can claim the moral high ground, saying he has been honest through this process. But he should have realized that after what happened 3 years ago, it would be a serious error to wait until January to begin the head coach search. Did he really think the bowl game would change his decision? He is contributing to the growing perception of the athletic department as an inept laughingstock. I don't know if its ego, naivete, or just not doing his homework, but he has displayed a serious lack of judgement in this process.
