The Holiday Is No Longer Postponed: Happy Strasmas Everyone!Greg Fiume/Getty Images
Andre Ethier had battled gamely against three blazing fastballs, a four-seamer at 97, another at 96, and a filthy two-seamer at 97. Now, he was set up. The pitcher reared back and fired, throwing from a nearly identical release point. Only this offering was anything but identical to the previous three. An assassin of a pitch, it started belt-high, then dive-bombed into the dirt in a flash. Ethier flailed wildly at it, caught nothing but air. Strike three.
In another era, you might have assumed it was a spitball or a shine ball, since pitches don't usually move like that without a little help. But this wasn't a product of Gaylord Perry's or Eddie Cicotte's imagination, or saliva. For one thing, the pitcher hadn't done anything illegal. For another, none of the master deceivers of yore could throw a pitch with that much break, and get so much on it.
As Ethier turned to walk back to the dugout, viewers at home could only stare slack-jawed at the radar gun reading. Stephen Strasburg had just thrown a completely unhittable beast of a change-up. At 90 miles an hour. Two minutes later, he made Aaron Miles look like a T-baller hopped up on Nyquil, humiliating him with a 99 mph fastball.
There was no longer any doubt. He Hath Risen.
Strasburg's final line last night against the Dodgers was as impressive a performance as any pitcher could possibly conjure in his first start back from Tommy John surgery and a year away from the big leagues: five innings, two hits, no walks, no runs, four strikeouts. But the moment felt much bigger than a nice comeback story in an otherwise meaningless game for a crappy baseball team. The Nats drew nearly 30,000 people last night, a huge jump given the evening's ominous weather forecast, and the team's season-long habit of drawing crowds in the teen-thousands for most weeknight games this season.
There's something breathtaking about a monster pitching prospect harnessing his powers. From the moment he throws his first big league pitch, we don't know what he could become. When Fernando Valenzuela broke in with the Dodgers in '81, he was a national phenomenon. When Dwight Gooden annihilated hitters as a 19-year-old rookie in '84, we were breathless, imagining a remorseless pitching machine with the combined powers of Gibson, Ryan, and Koufax. We didn't even have to wait for Felix Hernandez to crack the majors: The guys at USSMariner.com started calling him King Felix when he was 17 years old.
Just as Dodgers fans had Fernandomania and M's fans have Felix Day, Nats fans now have Strasmas, a holiday marking every Strasburg start. We like to imagine Strasmas getting celebrated 35 times a year for the next decade in Washington, D.C. Never mind the surgery he's already had, or the fears inspired by his supposed inverted-W delivery, which may or may not be an actual cause for concern. At least Dodgers fans were sensible enough to merely refer to Valenzuela's rise in mental illness terms. In Washington, they're flat-out comparing a skinny guy with a blazing fastball to a skinny guy who died for our sins.
Then again, maybe that's apt. There are positive signs in Nationals-land, to be sure. Ryan Zimmerman is the young veteran who's doubled as the franchise player. Wilson Ramos is the 23-year-old catcher they heisted from the Twins who could stick around for a long time. Mike Morse is the hulking slugger who's come out of nowhere to do … if not an Albert Pujols impression, at least a decent Paul Konerko. Jordan Zimmermann is the electric but largely unknown wingman who could play Cain to Strasburg's Lincecum for the next half-decade. And then there's Bryce Harper, the all-world prospect who's not only younger than Strasmas, but maybe even more hyped … and more talented.
But the Nats still kind of, well, stink. They're on pace to lose 87 games this year, meaning they'll be seven years into the Washington era with not a single season above .500. They have still have holes throughout their roster, and they're pissing away $126 million on Jayson Werth, despite being a franchise that can't afford to piss away $126 million (read: anyone but the Yankees). And for as much young talent as the Nats have on the major league roster and in the pipeline, they might run into the same problem faced by teams like the Rays, Jays, and Orioles: a stacked division with well-heeled rivals who could make future promising seasons end in disappointment.
If it does take a while for the Nats to become contenders, there's still reason to get excited. Even the most disillusioned Mariners fans still get up for Felix Day, despite the team's lingering case of the sucks. Longtime Mets fans suffering from a lost decade, a disastrous ownership situation, and a quarter-century without a title can still reflect back on Doc Gooden's stratospheric rise and smile wistfully at what he once was before it all fell apart.
And D.C. denizens get Strasmas, a day of revelry when anything is possible — no-hitters, 100 mph fastballs, and change-ups that defy the laws of physics. Rejoice.

BlackBerry Q10: The Highs and Lows of the BlackBerry Keyboard
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Gilda Galang | February 4, 2013 10:53 AM EST
Much buzz has been given to the newly launched BlackBerry z10. But it will still be six to eight weeks before the second BlackBerry 10 phone, the Q10, hits the market.
If you are one of the avid fans of the keyboarded BlackBerry, check out some of the highs and lows that you should expect before the actual release of the Q10, so you can see for yourself if it's worth the extra wait.
Killer battery life
According to Digital Trends, both of the newest BlackBerry 10 phones, the z10 and Q10 have a top-notch battery life that goes beyond your usual long life span. Compared to other smartphones in the market, the BlackBerry 10 phones come with a replaceable battery and an external charging option.
This is a case that allows users to charge their spare battery and the BlackBerry simultaneously. Best of all, the charging does not bother with the work that you do using your phone, hence a potential unlimited battery usage.
Loyalty to the keyboard
Though touch screen smartphone are slowly taking over the mobile market, there are still loyalists who opt for the QWERTY keyboard-and this includes BlackBerrry fans.
This is why the company's move to retain its keyboard function in the Q10 is a bold yet necessary move, to ensure that loyalists will still have their choice of the physical keyboard, which is practically its signature compared to other smartphones.
Best of all, T3 magazine reports that the Q10 keyboard has been modified to ensure only the best typing experience that gives justice to the long wait for the phone.
BlackBerry 10's Time Shift feature
The BlackBerry 10's camera is also something to look forward to, thanks to the Time Shift mode feature.
According to TechWorld, Time Shift ensures that you get the perfect shot by capturing the milliseconds before and after the actual photo. Now you can avoid any photo bomb pictures because you have the chance to edit and combine pictures, in case someone blinks in a shot or someone else isn't looking at the last second.
Hard to find and potentially expensive apps
BlackBerry has improved the BlackBerry World by launching more than 70,000 apps for its platform. However, The Star reports that the apps here are harder to find and may be more costly, even those that are also sold on other platforms.
Some games like Babel Rising 3D costs $2 more than one sold in Apple's App Store or the Android' Google Play. There is also the issue of finding the more well-known and used apps such as Instagram on BlackBerry World.
Unconfirmed release dates
One of the lows that avid BB10 fans are currently experiencing is the vagueness of the release date of the Q10 handset. Considering the five-year wait since the first BlackBerry came to the market, it seems that the longer release of the Q10 may be the bane of this BB10 iteration.
Wired even reports that Q10 may not even hit the UK until the second or third quarter of the year, which may not be good for BB10 sales or the patience of BB10 fans.

In Game 1 of last year's Western Conference Finals, Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki assembled the most efficient scoring line in the history of the NBA playoffs.
OKC Thunder: How will the Thunder fare against Dirk Nowitzki?
He finished with 48 points and took just 15 shots from the field.
No matter who the Thunder threw at Nowitzki defensively — Serge Ibaka, Nick Collison, Kendrick Perkins, Kevin Durant, even guards Thabo Sefolosha and James Harden — all were mere mortals against the 7-foot, 245-pound German who tortures defenders both inside and out.
One way to measure overall scoring efficiency is to use true shooting percentage, which takes into account field goals, 3-pointers and free throws to give an overall measure of how efficiently a player scores.
The average true shooting percentage over the previous 15 postseasons was 53.3 percent. Nowitzki's true shooting percentage of 93.9 in Game 1 was the highest ever calculated, by far.
Nowitzki finished 12 for 15 from the field and set a playoff record by going 24 for 24 from the free-throw line. He also pitched in six rebounds, four assists and four blocked shots.
For the series, Nowitzki shot 55.7 percent from the field, 36.4 percent from 3-point range, 96.7 percent from the free-throw line and also found time for 5.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists in the Mavericks' 4-1 series victory.
As fate would have it, the Thunder will end up facing the world champion Mavs in back-to-back playoff series — as the No. 4 seed last year in the conference finals and as the No. 2 seed this year in the opening round.
Though Nowitzki's stats are down a tad from last season thanks to a slow start in a delayed NBA season, he remains a scary proposition to all who defend.
During the regular season last year, Nowitzki averaged 6.1 free-throw attempts per game. In last year's playoff series against the Thunder, he doubled that average at 12.2 free throws per game and converted 59 of 61 at the line.
"We put him on the free-throw line way too many times," OKC coach Scott Brooks said Friday. "He's an amazing player, but we have to defend him without fouling him."
Who will (attempt to) guard Nowitzki in this year's playoff series, which starts Saturday at 8:30 p.m. at Chesapeake Energy Arena?

Still reaping the massive success of his 2013 album Because the Internet, Childish Gambino is still steady rolling out the visuals to some of the LPs best cuts. The latest is a sun-drenched Hawaiian holiday that strangely turns into the beginnings of a b-grade horror movie. The visuals for "Telegraph Ave ("Oakland" by Lloyd)" feature rapidly rising R&B star Jhene Aiko, with her and Childish living the tropical island lifestyle...until he turns reveals his true self. *SPOILER ALERT* It's like that movie Slither, but better.
Not going to lie, Pink Floyd are one of my all-time favorites. Maybe the guys in the office get annoyed if people blast "Us and Them" but you know something - it's awesome. And their new single off upcoming The Endless River is just as Floyd as it has been in the past. Seriously. Listen to that solo. Although, i'm not sure if this is the entire song or if it's been cut off at the end. Either way, it's frakkin' Awesome. Take a listen below.
You need some more funky disco in your life, especially when it has made it's way onto a carefully curated compilation by Aussie treasures Cut Copy. The Melbourne wizards are set to release Oceans Apart in November, a compilation album full of tracks hand picked and mixed by the unstoppable band. Our first taste comes in the form of "No Vis Vision" by fellow Melbourne locals No Zu, and it's one big psych-disco trip, the kind you'll be making up dance moves to all summer festival season.
It's not that unusual for musicians and activists to band together. I mean hell, even U2 did it. Probably a little too much, but hey we're not judging. But this new clip from the band's upcoming album Lift a Sail really shows what artists can – and often do. It's pretty touching – take a look below.
A song about the 18th century explorer John Evans's misguided quest to find a lost Welsh tribe in the American interior, "Lost Tribes" is the third single from Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys's critically acclaimed 2014 album American Interior.
Bubbling under this vintage electronica instrumental is a keen sense of emotion as London producer Redinho gives us a nice taste of his self-titled debut. "Stinger" sounds like something which could easily lend itself to soundtrack a classic 80's thriller, but the track also sounds irresistibly modern taking what starts as a simple riff of airy synths and builds it into a victorious anthem not unlike comparable artist M83. Check it out below.
Melbourne troubadour Peter Bibby is set to release his brand new single "Hates My Boozin'", which is lifted from his forthcoming debut album Butcher/Hairstylist/Beautician. Written when Bibby was "really drunk, for the thousandth time, and my girlfriend got really upset at me and told me I need to stop drinking or else she would leave me," the song is part Dylanesque defiance, part boozy ballad.
Holy hamburgers Batman – it's Darryl from The Walking Dead! OK, so Tricky has dropped in some familiar faces for his new film clip, and an up and coming pop artist on vocals (London based Tirzah). It's a pretty cool clip – and the song is everything you'd expect from our Bristol-based friend. Check it out now.
Well regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of our time, with a voice instantly recognisable to millions of fans worldwide is Cat Stevens, or Yusef Islam, as he's now known. Yusef has released a new single from his upcoming album Tell 'em I'm Gone – the first in five years - sure, it's a cover (of Edgar Winter's 1971 power ballad), but it's every bit Stevens as it was back then. And you can listen to it below:
Watch Sydney's Jack Colwell perform his track "Three Ravens" off his EP White Noise, live and exclusive on the Grand Piano as part of the AU review's session series.
As seen over the last 12 months, Gold Fields sure can slay a remix or two but at last they are back with an original release, and we could not be happier. Whilst "Hold Me" has less of a tribal feel that was so distinct in their 2013 debut album Black Sun, we are fully digging this new fusion of house electronica with their signature dreamy synths and of course, the smooooth vocals of Mark Robert Fuller.
Following the announcement of her final Australian show for 2014, Sydney's Caitlin Park has released her new track "Hunt for the Young". The first song written for Park's sophomore LP The Sleeper, "Hunt for the Young" is a simple yet stunning ballad about fighting for someone you love and features the backing vocals of Park's close friend and frequent collaborator, Aidan Roberts.
November 2014 will mark the 5th consecutive year Queenland's Transvaal Diamond Syndicate have been actively touring Australia. And now the band are going on tour to celebrate - bringing along a new single "So Sweet" along for the ride. The Track is the 4th single release off the band's 2014 debut Estranged Blues and highlights the bands upbeat and fun performance ability with sex-charged undertones. Today we're proud to premiere it for you on the AU!
Following her recent signing to I OH YOU, Brisbane's Montgomery has released a new song called "Piñata" and to be frank, it is bloody beautiful.
Known for their dreamy melodies and chilled out vibes, Canberra's Wallflower are back with "Ambien", an intriguing track that balances both simplicity and texture.

ROCKVILLE, MD -- (Marketwire) -- 12/18/12 -- MarketResearch.com has announced the addition of the market research report "Innovations and Trends in the Image-Guided and Robot-Assisted Surgery" Markets to their product offering.
Image-guided and robot-assisted surgery technologies extend the application of the minimally invasive approach beyond simple procedures using laparoscopy to more complex procedures. Over the past 15 years, such techniques have shifted from emerging to established technologies and have become standard of care in some applications. The image-guided and robot-assisted surgery markets are expected to continue to experience moderate growth, though at a lower rate than occurred prior to the global economic recession. Despite the decreased growth, the markets will continue to retain healthy profit margins. Despite the pressures within healthcare sectors in the developed world, there will be increased implementation of advanced image-guided and robotic surgical procedures attributable to the growing realization that they offer increased patient value through improved outcomes, faster recoveries and lower overall costs for complex procedures.
Image-guided and robot-assisted surgery have gained wide acceptance in the last 15 years, moving from novel techniques to widespread application. This analysis provides assessment of the current practice of image-guided and robot-assisted surgery, with insights into emerging trends, technological innovations, global market conditions, and potential opportunities.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is making everything it touches smarter – smart devices, smart cars and smart cities. And lucky us, we're just beginning to reap the benefits as we work toward a networked society. However, this technology-driven innovation is impacting more than just individuals. The IoT has an environmental impact as well, which brings us to the theme of this month's #IoTuesday Twitter chat. The ability to remove inefficiencies through connected objects is driving change throughout every sector, including waste management. BigBelly Solar, located just outside of Boston, is trans...

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, will examine three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics...

From a software development perspective IoT is about programming "things," about connecting them with each other or integrating them with existing applications. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Yakov Fain, co-founder of Farata Systems and SuranceBay, will show you how small IoT-enabled devices from multiple manufacturers can be integrated into the workflow of an enterprise application. This is a practical demo of building a framework and components in HTML/Java/Mobile technologies to serve as a platform that can integrate new devices as they become available on the market.

CFTC Issues No-Action Relief from CPO Registration
The Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight (DSIO) of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission issued three no-action letters granting relief from commodity pool operator (CPO) registration for operators of certain funds of funds, family offices and business development companies (BDCs). In the first letter, DSIO provided relief to any operator of a fund of funds that, among other things, does not know and could not have reasonably known that the fund's indirect exposure to commodity interests exceeds the levels prescribed in CFTC Regulations 4.5 or 4.13(a)(3)(ii)(A) or (B). In order to obtain relief, an interested party must submit a claim to the CFTC prior to December 31, 2012. Such relief is available until the later of June 30, 2013, or six months after the DSIO issues revised guidance on de minimis calculation thresholds in Regulations 4.5 and 4.13(a)(3). The no-action letter regarding funds of funds is available here.
The second letter provides no-action relief to any operator of a family office, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, if the eligible operator files for relief before December 31, 2012. The no-action letter regarding family offices is available here.
Pursuant to the third no-action letter, an operator of a BDC that is regulated by the SEC as such is also exempt from CPO registration under certain circumstances. An eligible operator of a BDC must file a claim with the CFTC before December 31, 2012, in order to obtain relief. The BDC no-action letter is available here.

Pierre Béarn
Poet, fabulist and activist for writers
Wednesday 08 December 2004
Pierre Béarn's life's work began in the 1960s when he founded the poetry review
La Passerelle ("Gangway"). That was when I first got to know him, for it was with the contributors to his magazine that he started his rather quixotic "
mandat des poètes", which was an ambitious scheme, planned as early as 1950, to come to the rescue of down-and-out poets by encouraging those better off to contribute to his
mandats (money or postal orders) to tide their less fortunate brethren over hard times.
Louis-Gabriel Besnard (Pierre Béarn), poet and writer: born Bucharest 15 June 1902; died Paris 27 October 2004.
Pierre Béarn's life's work began in the 1960s when he founded the poetry review La Passerelle ("Gangway"). That was when I first got to know him, for it was with the contributors to his magazine that he started his rather quixotic " mandat des poètes", which was an ambitious scheme, planned as early as 1950, to come to the rescue of down-and-out poets by encouraging those better off to contribute to his mandats (money or postal orders) to tide their less fortunate brethren over hard times.
This poetic benevolent fund, unique in the history of letters, had its office in Béarn's apartment at 60 rue Monsieur le Prince in Paris and its committee and generous donors soon included many well-known names in contemporary writing and publishing - Guy Béart, Michel Bénard, Andrée Chedid, Maurice Druon, Michel Déon, Régine Desforges.
During the Sixties, Béarn made a significant literary contribution to the rebellion of the students in Paris in 1968, when he coined for them the disgruntled slogan that came to epitomise their disgust with daily bourgeois existence: " Métro, Boulot, Dodo" - a life of labour beginning with the crowded morning Métro and ending with exhausted sleep. The idealism of the young demanded something better than that from life, and in a certain sense the young today have got it. (Another version of the slogan was " Métro, Boulot, Bistro, Mégots, Dodo, Zéro" - the addition of bistro and dog-ends found its apocalypse in the nothingness of full-blown zero. ) The phrase had first appeared in his book on his own experiences as a working man, Couleurs d'usine ("Factory Colours", 1951).
The poets' aid scheme flourished and Béarn was elected president of the Syndicate of Writers (1970-75) and thereafter president of several unions devoted to the rights of poets and novelists, until from 1978 he held the important post of President of the Commission of Professional Foreign Writers at the Ministry of Labour.
He was born Louis-Gabriel Besnard in Bucharest, where his father was the chef français in the kitchens of the King of Romania. His parents were of Breton and Champenois origin. At the age of nine, he returned with them to Paris, where at primary school he composed his first verses. Three years later, the First World War broke out. His father died in that war, and a few years later, while he was still an adolescent, his mother died. So Louis-Gabriel Besnard had to shift for himself, and ran through a medley of picturesque jobs that included selling boxes of boot polish, bartender, groom, taxi driver and racing cyclist.
At the age of 20, he embarked upon the battleship Jean-Bart for Constantinople, and was promoted to cipher clerk. On his return to France, he began working seriously as a writer and Pierre Béarn was the pseudonym he adopted when he became a "man of letters". His first professional engagement was as art critic for Paris-Presse in 1930. From 1931 he also wrote on gastronomy for Paris-Soir. He became a popular lecturer, and eventually became a producer of radio programmes from 1949 to 1956.
It is a wonder that his generous dedication to the well-being and the rights of fellow poets and other writers did not prevent Béarn from producing large quantities of his own literary works. But there were numerous collections of poetry, nearly all rewarded by literary prizes. He also wrote on gastronomy, travel in Africa and sea voyages. His poetry, alas, has been unfairly neglected in recent years, but he made up for that with masterly collections of fables, making him the one living writer following in the steps of La Fontaine, Florian and Fénélon. He wrote in all nearly 300 fables, decorated by his own quirky illustrations.
Among his better-known works is a steamily erotic novel, La Bête ("The Beast"), published in 1989 and recently reissued. Béarn's contribution to this popular genre relates to the first sensual experience of a 12-year-old Lolita named Sandrine. He wrote in his foreword:
If this book should destroy my reputation, it can't be helped. A writer, and especially if he is a poet, has a duty to convey a portrait of his times, and as a witness to those times is responsible only for the sincerity with which he lays his heart bare.
In June 2001, Béarn, on his 99th birthday, was merrily signing copies of La Bête at the poetry fair that is held every year on the Place Saint-Sulpice in Paris.
It was important that he defended poets themselves as much as poetry. In one of his last letters to me, he lamented the fact that too many poets write only for themselves, and are not read even by their own fellow poets.

Shooting Gallery
Posted on Friday, July 27 @ 00:00:00 Eastern by JP_HurhBioshock
You are an Aquarius. No, that's not right. You are an aquarium.
You are made of glass and are full of water. You contain many fishes, for you are a large aquarium who prides itself on keeping a full and friendly tank. You have a secret, though. It's contained in the cheap plastic box designed to look like a pirate's chest nestled among your coral. What's inside? Forbidden knowledge? Fish poop? No one knows.
Although you have no hands, no brain, and no money, if you were to buy a shooter it would have to be Bioshock, and not just because it takes place underwater. Like your own reflective surface, Bioshock gleams with high-production values. And the antique look and feel of the shrouded and abandoned city hides a secret as closely kept as the one in your pirate chest.
Mysterious and atmospheric also describe the iconic inhabitants that you will meet: the Big Brothers and Little Sisters. But they probably aren't any relatives of yours. From what we've seen, they are more deadly than the spleen of the blowfish swimming in you. Seafood might not be everyone's cup of chowder, but you will take to Bioshock like a fish to a fryer.

The location is absolutely awesome: 2 mins walk from victoria station, right near the victoria coach station where bus arrives from/to stansed (perfect if you fly with low-cost airlines).
The breakfast was fair good, nice staff and a 24/24 receptionist always available (I had to ckeck out at 2.00am).
The shower was a bit small but with super-hot water, which was awesome, and the bed was really confy, we slept really well. - Anonymous
location was great, pub across road, good restaurants close by, handy for tube station and buses.
staff excellent. Requested a twin room as travelling with a friend but on arrival told there was no double room available - tried really hard to sort it out and ended up in an accessible room which was great. Thank you - Anonymous
pulizia - Francesco
Reception sempre attiva 24 ore e disponibilità totale di tutto lo staff per qualsiasi esigenza. Posizione ottima a nemmeno 100 m dalla metro di Paddington (3 linee) che permette di raggiungere tutti i posti più importanti in meno di 10 fermate totali (compresi i cambi di linea). Ben collegato anche con gli autobus. Possibilità di raggiungere l'albergo a qualsiasi ora del giorno e della notte. - Antonio
Very nice room, great view of Wembley Stadium, quiet (no noise from
other guests). Helpful staff allowed us to store cheese in minibar
fridge (cannot empty it without a £5 surcharge to do so...) but could
only be opened with the permission of the staff (electronically sealed)
and also brought us a bottle opener so we could drink our own beers in
the room :) - Anonymous
This review is based on comparison between this hotel and other 5 stars hotels in London because 5 stars hotels in London are like 4 stars hotels in Dubai in terms of size, design, and value for money. So, if you want the best in London and you have the budget then this hotel is highly recommended.
Some people disliked the location, but for me it is the best location, it is on the park lane so the view is fantastic, 2 mins walk to the park, 10 mins walk to harrods, 10 mins walk to bond street - Anonymous
di buona qualità - Michelina
Location, value for money, high quality staff and service, cleanliness - Steve
l attenzione e cortesia del personale,ottima colazione,veramente gustosa..e varia,camere spaziose e pulite. - Anonymous
The apartment is 5 mins walk to Bayswater tube station and a minute more to Queensway station so it's really convenient to have stations that serve different lines - makes planning routes much easier. On the way there are lots of eateries (halal ones too, including Subway), supermarkets and a nearby mall, so the location was great. We chose the Quadruple Executive Apartment for four persons. We got a room on the second floor, which had a sofa bed, table and kitchen on 1 floor and a double bed o - Anonymous

Environmentalists are decrying the placement of 18,000 damaged automobiles on a runway at a defunct defense plant on eastern Long Island. The vehicles were destroyed by flooding from Superstorm Sandy.
The town supervisor in Riverhead disputes the idea that there is any hazard. The town leased the runways to salvage companies and could reap up to $2.7 million under the lease agreement.
Richard Amper of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society says the cars at a former Northrup Grumman plant in Calverton are dangerously close to the environmentally protected Pine Barrens. He fears leakage of oil or gasoline and other compounds could seep into groundwater.
Supervisor Sean Walter says there is little danger that could happen.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation says the town is complying with state regulations.

Children killed in Ky. bus crash laid to rest
Updated On: Nov 05 2012 06:05:27 AM EST
A pair of 3-year-old classmates who killed when their school bus overturned in northern Kentucky were laid to rest.
Police said Caroline Elizabeth Tuttle and Ryder Nichols Deitz were killed Monday when their Head Start school bus overturned and crashed into a tree in Carrollton.
Tuttle was laid to rest Friday, while Deitz was laid to rest Saturday, both in Carrollton.
The two children lived in the Sanders community in Carroll County.
A total of nine children and two adults were on the bus. Four children remained hospitalized Tuesday.
On Sunday, 400 members of the Carroll County community gathered to grieve together. Among those who attended the vigil were family and friends of Deitz and Tuttle.
The vigil included prayers, songs and a few words. Carrollton Mayor Gene McMurry spoke about the painful wound his community hopes to heal.
Meanwhile, Kentucky State Police are still investigating the cause of the crash.

Cloud Expo 2011 New York $500 Savings here!
In the Fall of 2009, while she was Deputy CIO of the Central Intelligence Agency, Jill Tummler Singer shared with attending conference delegates her view that Enterprise Cloud Computing was "The Infrastructure's Ultimate Revenge" - noting it was a faster, better, cheaper, and safer computing environment for the enterprise. Then she wrote about Enterprise Cloud Computing for Cloud Computing Journal, defining it as "a behind-the-firewalls use of commercial, Internet-based cloud technologies specifically focused on one company's or one business environment's computing needs."
Jill Tummler Singer speaking at 4th Cloud Expo in Santa Clara, CA - November, 2009.
Her session, "Is Enterprise Cloud Computing a Tidal Wave of Change?" will explore the intervening two years since first she spoke and discuss how Enterprise Cloud Computing has responded to mission/business needs by demonstrating IT is faster, better, cheaper, and safer because of Enterprise Cloud Computing.
Speaker Bio:
Jill Tummler Singer is CIO for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO)- which as part of the 16-member Intelligence Community plays a primary role in achieving information superiority for the U.S. Government and Armed Forces. A DoD agency, the NRO is staffed by DoD and CIA personnel. It is funded through the National Reconnaissance Program, part of the National Foreign Intelligence Program.
Prior to joining the NRO, Singer was Deputy Chief Information Officer at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), where she was responsible for ensuring CIA had the information, technology, and infrastructure necessary to effectively execute its missions.
Prior to her appointment as Deputy CIO, she served as the Director of the Diplomatic Telecommunications Service (DTS), United States Department of State, and was responsible for global network services to US foreign missions. She has served in several senior leadership positions within the Federal Government. She was the head of Systems Engineering, Architecture, and Planning for CIA's global infrastructure organization. She served as the Director of Architecture and Implementation for the Intelligence Community CIO and pioneered the technology and management concepts that are the basis for multi-agency secure collaboration. She also served within CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology.

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

About this design:
I knew in the 3rd grade, when my mom got her first electric typewriter, and handed her manual Brother down to me, (oops is my age showing) that I had a passion for writing. I was the best three finger typist in the 3rd grade! When I saw this wonderful pendant by Kylie Parry, I just had to have it.
Buy the supplies:
The products in this design are listed below.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1:
Cut a piece of 2mm natural brown leather cord to about 7 inches. Wrap one end through the left side hole of the pendant and tie a knot by wrapping the cord around two or three times and pulling it back through. Before pulling the knot tight, put a dab of glue, the Lima Studios epoxy will hold it for a lifetime! After the glue has dried, snip the tail of the leather off.
Step 2:
Cut a piece of 22 gauge purple Artistic Wire to about 12 inches. Lay 1/4" of the wire along the end of the leather cord and wrap the wire tightly around the end of the cord from the end toward the middle and back again so that the wire ends up facing away from the pendant. The inner wrap of wire should be very tight to hold the leather in, but the outside wrap can be loose and messy for a more organic look. Run the wire through an 8mm dark bronze Czech glass fire polished round bead, leave about 1/4" and loop through the last link of 13 inches of handmade small diamond and oval antique brass chain. Finish the wire by wrapping in the same fashion toward the bead and back, tucking the tail of the wire firmly into the wrapped portion.
Step 3:
Cut a 5" piece of Beadalon.015" 49 strand beading wire and crimp one end to the back of the knot on the leather near the pendant. String a mix of 4mm medium topaz AB faceted crystal rondelles and gold and olive green dancing drop freshwater pearls to about 3 inches. Wrap the strand loosely around the leather and crimp the the wire on the other end.
See Tip: Crimping Basics
Step 4:
Cut two 5" pieces of Beadalon .015" 49 strand beading wire and run them both through the same 2mm antique brass crimp tube. Crimp them to the last link on the end of the chain. Sting a mix of beads on each wire. I used the pearls and crystals from the other side as well as 8mm dark bronze Czech glass fire polished round beads, peacock heishi pearls, 6mm medium topaz AB faceted rondelle crystals, and 4mm matte luster opaque amethyst Czech glass fire polished round beads. When you have 3 inches strung on each strand, run both wires through one 2mm crimp and crimp them to a 15x9mm antique brass lobster clasp.
Step 5:
Attach two 8mm antique brass jump rings to the other hole in the pendant to attach the clasp to and you're done!

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Four people killed when a car bomb exploded outside a police station in a poor neighbourhood of the Kenyan capital Nairobi on Wednesday, the Interior Ministry said.
Police officers had earlier stopped the saloon car at traffic lights and were taking the occupants for questioning when the bomb exploded, the ministry said.
Kenya's security forces are struggling to contain a surge in bomb and gun attacks that the authorities blame on the Somali Islamist militants who killed at least 67 people when they laid siege to Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall in September.
Kenyans are increasingly alarmed at the relative ease at which the militants and radicalised youths are able to carry out deadly strikes in the heart of Kenya, east Africa's biggest economy.
It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack.
"At least 4 people dead after a saloon exploded at Pangani police station. Two of them are police officers," the ministry said.
Pangani is located next to Nairobi's Eastleigh district, an area populated by Somalis and targeted in past bomb and grenade attacks.
A second controlled detonation was carried out by bomb disposal officers shortly after the initial blast, a Reuters witness said.
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta last month said the vital tourism industry was "on its knees" after attacks by al Qaeda-linked Islamist insurgents carried out in retaliation for the country's troop deployment in neighbouring Somalia.
It is common for Kenyan police to demand a ride back to police stations in vehicles they have stopped. But some Kenyan and African Twitter expressed consternation that they should get into a suspicious car at a time of heightened insecurity.
"Crazy & unfortunate that #Kenya police officers would board a "suspicious" car. Not good protocol," one Twitter user wrote.
