Arches National Monument lies in the redrock country north of Moab, between the Colorado River and US 160. … In the Monument proper, the wind has carved these canyon walls into forms that, even in a region noted for spectacular erosion, are remarkable. Here are arches and windows through solid stone, from a size that can scarcely be crawled through to immense spans that would accommodate a troop of cavalry; monoliths measured in hundreds of tons balanced on decaying bases; chimneys, deep caves, and high, thin, sculptured walls of salmon-hued rock

MPS Central Services staff volunteers with Habitat for HumanityNovember 15, 2012 // 0 Comments
Nearly two dozen MPS Central Services staff, including Superintendent Dr. Gregory Thornton, rolled up their sleeves and volunteered with Habitat for Humanity this weekend. Projects included painting, priming and cleaning two houses on the city's north side.
One group had the opportunity to work alongside the future homeowner of the house they were painting. With gumption and gratitude, this young lady is destined to go far and her new home will undoubtedly serve as a source of comfort and pride for years to come.
"Investing in our neighborhoods, right alongside the work we do in our schools, is helping to build a stronger and more resilient Milwaukee," said Dr. Thornton.

How to add an Instagram Badge to your Website
Today Instagram announced website badges for accounts on the site. Very much like Twitter or Facebook's multiple widgets to integrate social with your existing web presence, Instagram now adds that simple step for anyone to call out their presence online.
Getting a badge is simple.
1. Visit this link
2. Log in
3. Pick your badge style and copy the code
4. Install it on your website, blog, or other.
While it may not seem like much, this is a big step for the evolution of brands on the platform. Consider this, 5 million photos are uploaded per day, with 575 Likes and 81 Comments per second (and that rate has probably increased by the time you read this). That's a lot of content.
I just finished writing an eBook on Instagram for Social Fresh and have talked to some of the top Instagram brands out there today; they all agree that there is no real brand structure on the platform now.
That simple act of including the icon on a site can exponentially increase a brand's Instagram followers. Coupled with web profiles announced last week, it's clear that Instagram has realized that they are a powerful tool for brands to create conversation.
Begs the question: will they add ads?
i really want to use instagram because it is quite unique and fun to use too."

Nanodumbbell-Based Imaging Technique Could Improve Disease DiagnosisDecember 18, 2009 – 10:29 am
A DNA-based assembly technique can precisely engineer gap distances in nanoparticle dumbbells to optimise the sensing capability of DNA and RNA molecules using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Potential pplications of the research include nano-optical sensors, in vitro diagnostic devices and medical imaging. "This could lead to a highly sensitive—ideally single-molecule-sensitive—and quantitative biomolecule detection with great multiplexing capability," comments Jwa-Min Nam, an assistant professor in the department of chemistry at Seoul National University. "Eventually, straightforward, faster, and more-accurate disease diagnosis at a lower cost could be possible using our approach." The technique could be used to quickly detect cancer and diseases such as AIDS, hepatitis and even the slow-to-diagnose h1N1 flu strain.
The imaging technique relies on Raman scattering, which is related to the change in the frequency of monochromatic light, such as a laser, when it passes through a substance—SERS can identify specific molecules by detecting their characteristic spectral fingerprints. However, while the technology has great potential for chemical sensing, the large nonlinearity of the effect makes reproducible SERS sensing difficult, according to an article at Nanowerk.
Reporting their findings in "Nanogap-Engineerable Raman-Active Nanodumbbells for Single-Molecule Detection," the researchers from Seoul National University and the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology show that Raman-active gap-tailorable gold-silver core-shell nanodumbbells (GSNDs) have single-molecule sensitivity with high structural reproducibility. To fabricate a single-molecule detector, the scientists modified gold nanoparticles with two different kinds of DNA sequences—a protecting one and a target-capture one. A gold nanoparticle with a diameter of 20 nm (probe A) was functionalised with two kinds of a 3′-thiol-modified DNA sequence while a 30-nm gold nanoparticle (probe B), was functionalised by two kinds of a 5′-thiol-modified DNA sequence. By modifying the molar ratios of the two kinds of sequences, the target-capture DNA per probe can be adjusted. Cy3, a Raman-active dye, was preconjugated to the target-capture sequence (probe B alone) so that the dye could be located at the junction of the single-DNA interconnected probes A and B.
With the Cy3-modified DNA located at the junction site between the DNA-tethered gold nanoparticles—a distance of 3 to 4 nm—the gold nanoparticle surface was coated with silver by means of a nanoscale silver-shell deposition process to form the GSNDs.
"We believe that our method and findings could lead to high cross section–based SERS sensing and single DNA detection in a highly reproducible fashion," Nam comments. "Since our DNA-based nanostructure fabrication synthetic strategy is pretty flexible and many other nanostructures could be generated for various other applications, this work could be a breakthrough for the field."Brian Buntz

text: NY Mag Writer Mocks WWII Veterans Barred from D.C. Memorial Print article Send a Tip by Warner Todd Huston 2 Oct 2013 post a comment New York Magazine writer Jonathan Chait spent his government shutdown day mocking WWII veterans who were shut out by the National Park Service (NPS) when they came to visit the National WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C. On Tuesday morning, Representative Michelle Bachman (R-MN) and several Republican members of Congress helped tear down the barricades shutting the elderly veterans out of the WWII memorial. After the barricades were removed, dozens of veterans flooded in to conduct their often emotional visits. But, thinking he was being funny, Chait took to Twitter to poke fun at the veterans, joking that the NPS should barricade the memorial with old Nazi soldiers. Idea: fortify WWII memorial with tank traps and pillboxes manned by elderly Germans. — Jonathan Chait (@jonathanchait) October 1, 2013 This is a pretty hard-hearted "joke," as many of these veterans are in their late 80s and 90s and may not be able to make the trip again. It wasn't long, of course, before the Twitterverse erupted in condemnation of Chait's "funny" joke. Instead of apologizing, Chait lashed out at his critics. He tried to claim he was mocking tourists, not the WWII vets. "Also, the joke was on the idea that the memorial would be blocked to tourists, not on the tourists," he said. Then Chait even tried to turn his own atrocious behavior into an excuse to claim he was the one being attacked. Chait again took to Twitter to complain, "Left and right both whip up fake-outrage mobs online, but conservative fake-outrage-ists seem more taken with violent fantasies."

Family Health Goals for 2014 as Taught by Disney Movies
Getting your family to be healthy isn't easy. It can make you feel like Mr. Potato head here…
With a few goals though, we bet that you can have you and your family healthier than ever! Here are some tips from Disney movies about being healthy in the new year.
Get Moving! Whether it be a family walk, or a muddy backyard soccer game, get your family up and out of the house!
Skip the chips and bring snacks on family outings such as carrots, nuts, or apples!
Or Berries!
Get enough sleep! Children need 10 or more hours per night, and adults need 8!
Keep the baby healthy too! A healthy life starts early.
Avoid drinking too much caffeine. It can make you feel jittery and disrupt your sleep schedule. Over the long term it can also give you high blood pressure.
Have a good attitude about eating healthy and it will be an example for the whole family!
We hope we have left you saying to your 2014 health goals: Bring It On!
And remember The Foam Fest 5K is the perfect family fun activity!

The sex chromosomes (X and Y) often are of unequal size, shape, and/or staining qualities. The fact that they pair during meiosis is an indication that they contain at least some homologous pseudoautosomal segments. Genes on the pseudoautosomal segments are said to be incompletely sex-linked or partially sex-linked and may recombine by crossing over in both sexes, just as do the gene loci on homologous autosomes. Special crosses are required to demonstrate the presence of such genes on the X chromosome, and few examples are known. Genes on the nonhomologous segment of the X chromosome are said to be completely sex-linked and exhibit the peculiar mode of inheritance described in the preceding sections. In humans, the nonrecombining region of theY chromosome (NRY) makes up about 95% of this chromosome, but only about a dozen active genes reside there. In such cases, the corresponding trait(s) would be expressed only in males and would always be transmitted from father to son. Such completely Y-linked genes are called holandric genes (Fig. 5-2).
Fig. 5-2. Generalized diagram of X and Y chromosomes. The relative size of these chromosomes and the size of homologous and nonhomologous regions, as well as location of the centromeres (not shown), vary according to the species.
Sex-Influenced and Sex-Limited Traits
Sex-Influenced Traits
Sex-influenced traits are traits whose phenotypic expression is affected by the sex of the individual. The genes governing sex-influenced traits may reside on any of the autosomes or on the homologous portions of the sex chromosomes. The expression of dominance or recessiveness by the alleles of sex-influenced loci is reversed in males and females due, in large part, to the difference in the internal environment provided by the sex hormones. Thus, examples of sex-influenced traits are most readily found in the higher animals with well-developed endocrine systems.
Sex-Limited Traits
Some autosomal genes may only come to expression in one of the sexes, either because of differences in the internal hormonal environment or because of anatomical dissimilarities. For example, we know that bulls have many genes for milk production that they may transmit to their daughters, but they or their sons are unable to express this trait. The production of milk is therefore limited to variable expression in only the female sex. When the penetrance of a gene in one sex is zero, the trait will be sex-limited.
Sex Reversal and Sexual Phenomena in Plants
Sex Reversal
Female chickens (ZW) that have laid eggs have been known to undergo not only a reversal of the secondary sexual characteristics such as development of cock-feathering, spurs, and crowing, but also the development of testes and even the production of sperm cells (primary sexual characteristics). This may occur when, for example, disease destroys the ovarian tissue, and in the absence of the female sex hormones the rudimentary testicular tissue present in the center of the ovary is allowed to proliferate. In solving problems involving sex reversals, it must be remembered that the functional male derived through sex reversal will still remain genetically female (ZW).
Sexual Phenomena in Plants
Most flowering plants are monoecious and therefore do not have sex chromosomes. Indeed, the ability of mitotically produced cells with exactly the same genetic endowment to produce tissues with different sexual functions in a perfect flower speaks clearly for the bipotentiality of such plant cells. Well-known examples of dioecism usually are under the genetic control of a single-gene locus. However, at least one well-documented case of chromosomal sexuality is known in plants, i.e., in the genus Melandrium (a member of the pink family). Here, the Y chromosome determines a tendency to maleness just as it does in humans. Pistillate plants are XX and staminate plants are XY.
The ability of gametes produced by the same individual to unite and produce viable and fertile offspring is common among many families of flowering plants. Self-fertilization is also known to occur in a few of the lower animal groups. The perfect flowers of some monoecious plants fail to open (cleistogamy) until after the pollen has matured and accomplished self-fertilization. Self-fertilization is obligatory in barley, beans, oats, peas, soybeans, tobacco, tomato, wheat, and many other crops. In some species, self-fertilization as well as cross-fertilization may occur to varying degrees. For example, cotton and sorghum commonly experience more than 10% crossfertilization. Still other monoecious species have developed genetic mechanisms that prevent self-fertilization or the development of zygotes produced by the union of identical gametes, making cross-fertilization obligatory. Self-incompatibility in monoecious species can become as efficient in enforcing cross-fertilization as the system exhibited under a dioecious mechanism of sex determination.

GORE, Va. – Engineers Without Borders International is bringing its expertise in solar technology to the United States, after spending decades honing its skills working to improve the lives of impoverished populations in developing countries.
The Shepherdstown-based organization is beginning an effort to educate students and homeowners about the nature and benefits of solar technology at the Land Celebration Center in Gore, Va.
EWBI recently taught a seminar to a group of local eighth-grade science students.
"We had eighth-grade students come out. The science teachers just loved it. They went nuts over it."
The classes allow students and homeowners to get hands-on experience with solar panels, using them to drive water pumps and other electrical equipment.
"The whole idea is for homeowners to get used to solar – not to be afraid of it," said Roger Ethier, the executive director of EWBI.
Ethier said the classes, beginning soon, will help homeowners with three important aspects of moving to solar photovoltaic panels, which convert solar energy into electricity. Classes will help homeowners with design and pricing of solar systems, and show the procurement process for solar equipment. The classes will also give homeowners an understanding of the basic science and operations of solar photovoltaics.
"This is a simple technology, and it's cost-effective," Ethier said. "If you can afford the initial capital investment the payback, in my view, is well worth it. In six to 10 years the electricity you will be getting back is gravy, is free. You buy the thing today, you'll be able to send your kids to school years later because of the savings."
The most substantial barrier to entry, Ethier points out, is the initial cost of procuring and installing a solar system.
"It costs between $15,000 and $40,000, but you can decrease that cost 20 percent by doing it yourself," Ethier said. "We want to teach the homeowners how to do the work themselves."
Ethier explained that there are many ways for homeowners to get the initial capital to invest in solar systems, including home equity loans or rolling the cost of a solar system into the cost of a home when it is first built.
He said switching to solar can be an excellent investment for long-term homeowners and that pays for itself in short order.
"What I've found in this area … is that there is a payback in about six years. And the life expectancy of these panels is the life of the building. So it can be anywhere from 25 to 50 years. So after six years … it's all free electricity. You've paid back your initial investment and all that you are generating you get for free."
Ethier also points out that when solar panels produce excess energy, homeowners can actually be paid for selling electricity back to their energy company.
"The extra goes back into the grid, and they get paid for that," Ethier said. "The utilities, by law, are required to pay retail back."
And there are few, if any, upkeep costs associated with a home solar system, said Ethier. "The systems pretty much take care of themselves."
EWBI's only other U.S.-based solar project – for a farm near Mount St. Helens in Oregon – demonstrates the resilience of solar panels, said Ethier.
"When Mount Saint Helens blew, there was about three quarters of an inch of dust on the panels. All we did was wait for it to rain, and once it rained it washed (the dust) off. There was no problem. The systems were still operational."60s," Ethier said.
Ethier said he is surprised that renewable energy sources like solar and wind have not caught on more rapidly in the U.S.
"I come back to this country and I can't believe that there is not much going on with renewables. There is more going on with renewables in developing countries than here in the United States."
Most recently, Ethier traveled to the village of Kyabirakawa in southwestern Uganda to install a solar-powered water pumping system that is providing a reliable source of water to a school, orphanage and hospital as well as for local residents' daily use.
"There's a lot of kids on the streets because of malaria, AIDS and cancer. The nuns are taking them off the street and putting them in schools," Ethier said. "We got involved with them about three years ago. We went over just on a goodwill trip. The conditions just blew my mind. It took me about two months to get over it, and I still choke up."
Kyabirakawa had existing electric pumps to fill reserve water tanks. However, in an area where electricity is out between 50 and 80 percent of the time, Ethier said the water supply was highly unreliable.
The consequences of this unreliable, limited water system were palpable.
"Women in these countries do most of the work in the gardens and fields. They also pull buckets of water up from the well by rope," Ethier said. "With this system, you have a storage tank with a faucet, and the women can just go there to fill their buckets."
The local hospital was unable to use their flush toilets, and water had to be carried in by children in buckets – a situation that was less than ideal for a hospital, where cleanliness is a top priority.
"The next project is to put flush toilets in the schools for 2,000 kids."
EWBI replaced their aging electric water pump with a new solar-powered pump.
"With this new pump, powered by solar, all of the storage tanks can be filled in 1 1/2 hours," Ethier said. "That pump is going to be in there for 50 or 60 years – long after I am gone."
The new pump was also able to draw much more water out of the aquifer, increasing the possibilities for local agriculture.
"We found that there was about four and a half times as much usable water in the aquifer than what they were using," he said.

Those who have already discovered the explosive potential within the law of attraction and changed their lives for the better, as well as those who are looking to uncover more about the law for the first time, usually have one thing in common – their prime motivator is MONEY.
In today's society, being driven by a need for extraordinary wealth is often associated with greed and selfishness. The majority of us are programmed from childhood to believe that the richest amongst us are exceptional in some way or have obtained great wealth through negative means or extreme sacrifice. However, for those who have harnessed the laws of attraction and applied it to achieve these levels of incredible wealth – money has not necessarily been their ultimate aim.
When we are looking to live out our dreams and obtain all that we desire, be it good health, a business you are passionate about, a happy marriage or a life of travelling; financial freedom must first be obtained. With total financial freedom an individual is left free to focus all of their mental energies on what it is that they truly want from life, free from the burdens and stress of bills, debts and back-breaking work. Arguably, the biggest excuse used by large numbers of unsatisfied workers is that they are unable to live out their dreams as a result of a lack of money. Despite the term 'financial freedom' coming to have great importance attached to it by western society, for many of us, it is regarded as an impossible dream. In a society where time is exchanged for money (most commonly in the form of a '9-5' job) the concept of 'financial freedom' offers the luxury of enough money to free an individual from a lifetime of work and its time constraints – leaving time to pursue life happiness through other forms.
Very few individuals enjoy the luxury of financial freedom. However, those who have, have discovered the law of attraction and opened their eyes to the realisation that there are no ceilings on the possibilities and abundance of wealth and riches that are available to everyone to make claim of. With this life-changing discovery they have then gone on to enjoy levels of wealth that others have only ever regarded as a distant dream.
Money is liberation, a 'V.I.P access all areas' pass into all aspects of life. Liberate yourself from the shackles of money constraints today by uncovering the true teaching of the law of attraction.
'The Science Of Getting Rich', Money And The Law Of Attraction
Arguably one of the first great-thinkers to shed light on the dynamic impact that the law of attraction can have on a person's financial situation, Wallace Deoise published his famous work 'The Science Of Getting Rich' in 1910. In his highly acclaimed works, Wattles explains the importance of the mind and the significant role that it plays in helping a person to achieve financial wealth. As he describes in his book, 'the riches they receive will be in exact proportion to the definiteness of their vision, the fixity of their purpose, the steadiness of their faith, and the depth of their gratitude.'
Complete and utter faith in the universe's ability to provide you with all that you envision in your mind and unfaltering gratitude for what you have already got is one step toward unlocking the powers of the law of attraction and thinking your way to financial freedom.
Learn More About The Law Of Attraction And Money
It is not uncommon for those who have been enlightened by the law of attraction to have accumulated great sums of wealth unknowingly. This is because being 'wealthy' should not be something which is focused on money alone. It is possible to achieve great 'wealth' in many areas of a person's life. After all, money is simply pieces of paper and all of the paper in the world is not going to guarantee a person life-long happiness.
Those who have attracted great wealth into their life will have unlocked the powers of the law of attraction to attract great 'wealth' into all areas of their life – striving for inner peace and attracting positive energy into their love life, family, health and businesses. Once these things have been achieved, financial wealth is simply something that follows.
With The Law Of Attraction Wealth And Abundance Will Transform Your Life
Are you blocking the way for you to enjoy a life filled with endless riches and glorious financial freedom? It is because of the lack of understanding of the law of attraction across the masses, that only roughly 1% of the world's population enjoys the vast amounts of wealth that the planet has to offer.
Too many of us have been bought up with the understanding that great 'wealth' is something reserved for a select few people and that for the rest of us, financial struggle and lack is our 'accepted lot'. Does this mindset of want and lacking sound familiar to you? If this is the case and you continually find yourself worrying about money, bills and debt then you are actively blocking money from finding its way to you. Strong and negative emotions surrounding money can come to consume your mind and how you choose to live, resulting in nothing but further money worries and a constant wanting for more.
Thoughts of lacking equal a life full of lack, rich thoughts equal riches. Here is a good question to ask yourself – have you ever known anyone that always seems at ease about money? Someone who never complains about how they cannot afford something but will instead always buy what they wish? Someone who never gets nervous about picking up the bill or who seems to enjoy financial luck, finding £50 notes on the pavement or getting lucky with unexpected checks? These occurrences of the 'wealthy-minded' are no coincidence, they are the result of a mind that is so focused on wealth and the abundance of it, that they are openly attracting more and more of it into their life. For those of us who have been raised from a young age to believe that 'money doesn't grow on trees' you will notice that money does not come as easily. But why shouldn't it be readily available to you? With so much abundance in the world, how could you not enjoy the wealth that surrounds you? Re-train your perception of money and the results could be astonishing for your bank account.
Find Out How To Use The Law Of Attraction For Money
Know this – there is no limit to the wealth that is available to everyone on the planet. There is more than enough to go around for everyone. The world is in no way divided into those who are entitled to unlimited wealth and those that are not.
You are not pre-destined to a life of hardship and struggle; you alone are responsible for how much money you welcome into your life. Feel excited about money, feel thankful for what money you already have, rejoice in the knowledge that the bank of the universe has unlimited wealth to offer you. Let your entire mind become consumed with thoughts of abundance and wealth and with your new financial freedom your greatest dreams will be sure to follow.

The Game thinks Serena Williams is an AMAZING rapper and if she decides to drop an album, it's sure to sell big ... this according to the man himself.
Game tells TMZ ... after he heard Serena's rap for the first time, he knew that she definitely had "raw skills" and was a "really talented artist."
Game says he wasn't that surprised ... considering the tennis champ's Compton roots. He tells us "You shouldn't expect her to come with anything less than the official rap bars," then added "I can see her doing big things."
Kind of like winning 2 Olympic gold medals, 3 US opens and 4 Wimbledon championships.
This clown showed up to his friends funeral wearing a ragedy baseball hat. I don't think any one would look for his opinion on anything.
RAP = CRAP, you go fatso.
That really is not saying much. It takes no talent to be a rapper.
Rap is the worse genre out, and man is there some bad stuff out there...yeah looking at u dub step...it takes no talent what's so ever to rap even more they rappers only stay in the mainstream from stealing from actual musicians. Can't spell rapist without rap
Better than the idiot nicki minaj. No Nicki YOUR a stupid how.
Please, Coming from a guy that can't sell **** himself sit the **** down..
That's atrocious .
I'm shocked that Serena has anything to do with The Game,afterall he's the one responsible for their sister being killed in a drive by....doesn't anyone remember that?
i would rate this rap as something outta the sugmid 80's i guess she thinks
1. im famous
2. im black
3 i can rap if i have 1 and 2 down
Serena the rapper?? That's one of the worst ideas I've heard in a long time. And she needs to take pride in her Compton (gangbanger central, at one time) roots?? Isn't that where he sister got her head blown off by thug boys?? Serena, stick with tennis. There's already too many rappers, way too many.
I like her positive rap...Best of luck
Nobody wants to listen to her ugly mannish self making those stupid voices trying to copy the worst rapper alive, Nicki. Serena is too ugly to describe... she's nasty looking and her rap is fake and weak. Those of us who DO like rap are tired of hearing the same ol' song and dance from these disgusting whores, "I think I'm beautiful, I have expensive clothes and I don't even know you but I don't like you." Yeah right Serena, you're ugly, shut the **** up. I'm not surprised at all that her lyrics had NOTHING to offer just like her ugly ass face. And The Game's opinion is worthless. HE isn't that good of a rapper, he is a wannabe-thug DORK who can't dress and has no respect in the industry. Did I mention he can't rap well either? So of course he would like her. He practically said it himself, he likes her because they were born in the same state (why does that mean something to these idiots?).

UpNext is on the list. Check out all these app to really enjoy NYC.
Where 2.0 - Why You Need To Be There
Back in 2007, we attended our first Where 2.0 conference. We presented UpNext at the Launch Pad portion of the conference which was won by Swivel (whose presentation included breakdancing and poppin and lockin).
For a young startup, new to the mapping industry, Where 2.0 was mecca. Filled with mapping and location enthusiasts, this was the place to be if you were interested in geo. But, Where 2.0 was a niche player in the larger web space. Remember in 2007…
- The original iPhone had been announced at the beginning of the year, but had yet to be released to the public
- Dennis Crowley was at the conference talking about the new company he joined, area/code. This was post Dodgeball, pre Foursquare.
- The majority of sessions covered mapping, mapping techniques and mapping data
- Tele Atlas and Navteq were still independent companies and would be acquired later in 2007.
Since then, Where 2.0 has continued to grow in importance and stature and is among the most influential conferences in tech. Much of that is due to the leadership of Program Chair, Brady Forrest and his team at O'Reilly. It seems like Brady was bringing together thought leaders and tech innovators in the location space since people started carrying around Zach Morris phones, maybe even before then.
Today, location, mobile and geo are more than just buzz words and Where 2.0 is the center of it all. Take a look at the lineup of speakers and you will see that all the leading tech companies are attending. Google, Facebook, Groupon and Foursquare are just some of the names that will be offering their thoughts on location.
It is great to see that location has broken out from its niche status within the tech industry (probably last year). Geo is now ingrained in the DNA of all tech companies. Appropriately, the theme of this year's conference is "The Business of Location". So if you want to where the next business opportunities are, head down to Santa Clara this week and check out Where 2.0.
Give us a shout @upnext or firstname.lastname@example.com if you want to meet up.
(On a side note, maps have always been at the center of Where 2.0. As a mapping startup it is great to see that maps continue to play a large role in the conference even as it continues to expand and grow.)
Android NDK for Rendering
We've been working a lot recently with the Android NDK. The NDK allows you to write native code for an Android device, allowing you to bypass the Dalvik VM and write directly to the platform. Now, we already have a functioning version of our app written in Java, so why did we put in the effort to port it over? Speed, of course. For those facing a similar decision, here are three things we've learned:
1) The Dalvik VM is slow for CPU heavy applications. Slow is a relative term. For your average "tables and text" application, it's more than fast enough. But if you want to write applications with heavy CPU usage, then you're much better off with the NDK. Specifically, we found that the Dalvik VM really suffered when running highly recursive algorithms: the method call overhead was unacceptable. Now, you could eliminate a lot of this method overhead via public fields and manually inlined code — but if you're going to go that far, you may as well write the thing in C++. Note that this applies even to the newest crop of devices (Nexus S) with the latest operating system (Gingerbread).
2) Garbage collection kills frame-rates. Again, not for tables and text applications. But if you're writing a game or anything with a tight, optimized render-loop, you must avoid generating any garbage. Unfortunately the Android SDK spills metric tons of it: Android internal classes aren't written with optimization in mind, they're written for ease of use. The IO classes freely allocate and discard byte arrays and can't be re-used, and the NIO classes — which are as optimal as the SDK gets — are almost as bad. So even if you write your app efficiently, merely using basic SDK classes will produce significant garbage, eventually triggering the Garbage Collector and pausing your app, producing stutter. Using the NDK avoids this problem.
3) NDK libraries are extremely limited. This is gradually improving, especially with NDKr5, but for now you're fairly constrained in what you can do. You get the standard C libraries and support for STL. But if you want to do something high tech, like, say, send an HTTP request, you have to learn your BSD sockets and write 100 lines of code. Or you could download the Android source and compile libcurl, which is perhaps even more of a pain. That said, there is one other alternative: JNI. For advanced functionality, JNI enables you to uplink to Java, do things in the SDK, then return the results back to the NDK. We do this a lot, and it works quite well — except, of course, it generates a lot of garbage.
"When a consumer gets the phone and they wanna play a game that uses our technology, it's got to be a consistent experience, and we can't guarantee that [on Android]. That's what held us off of Android"
Tim Sweeney on what's stalled Epic from developing on Android. The easy solution to this, I think, is to allow developers to whitelist specific devices on the Android Market. Currently that's not possible; so if someone downloads your app on a device that can't run it, you'll get a one-star review. And those will pile up.
The Android Market does let you specify what features your app needs, but that's not enough. I need to be able to target a specific CPU, a specific GPU, and sometimes even specific OpenGL extensions, all of which I could do myself if they let me whitelist devices.
UpNext on what's Up Next!
We've been working hard these last three years developing what we think are the best 3D maps out there and a few weeks ago, when we were at SXSW, Techcrunch broke the story of us closing our funding round!
Erick covered it well and we are excited to be working with such a great group of investors (Chris Sacca, David Cohen, David Tisch, David Diamond, Oleg Tscheltzoff, Josh Guttman, Will Herman, Ty Danco and ARC Angel Fund).
We feel really good about where we are heading and wanted to share our thoughts on future.
First off, take a look at the NFL's official Super Bowl app that was created using our mapping platform (video). We think it is a significant leap in showing what our vision of mapping can accomplish.
When we talk about mapping, we're talking about one of the most valuable properties on mobile devices. But even though maps are used everywhere, by everyone, they've lagged behind the rest of the mobile web. We are here to change that.
In our funding post, Techcrunch writes, "Mapping is a big boy's game, with Google Maps, Bing Maps and MapQuest dominating maps on both the Web and mobile. But sometimes it takes a startup to push things forward."
That is UpNext - we are constantly pushing ourselves and our technology because we are lean and have a clear vision. Our maps are dynamic, immersive and interactive. As the company name states, we want to show you "what's UpNext in your city".
Check out our new website, UpNext, to learn more about how UpNext's mapping platform can help your brand.
This funding round, plus the support of our investors, provides us with the rocket fuel to reach our vision. Try out our app, UpNext 3D Cities, and let us know what you think. Android and Version 2.0 are coming soon but we'd love more feedback before then. There is lots of work to do to reach our vision, but we think that's the fun part. We are definitely looking forward to it.
(Special thanks to Chris Dixon and the Hunch Team for the work space and support, and for letting us experience, first hand, things like this)

Importing mail into EagleFiler speeds up your mail program and backups, creates an efficient and secure archive of your mail, and lets you organize and search mail messages alongside related files. The recommended way to import mail varies depending on which mail program you're using. Please find the section below that corresponds to your mail program.
As described in the Basics section, you should not modify or delete the mail while EagleFiler is in the midst of importing it.
Viewing Messages
EagleFiler has native support for viewing e-mail messages. There are two options in the The View Menu for controlling how messages are displayed: Message ‣ Plain Text and Message ‣ Raw Source. The plain text font and size can be set in the Preferences. You can use the Quick Look command in the The Record Menu to preview attached images. The Reply to Message command lets you resume a conversation by opening a new message in your e-mail program. You can also double-click a message to open it in your e-mail program (e.g. to forward it or to access the attachments). EagleFiler opens messages using Mac OS X's default viewer for .eml files, which is normally Apple Mail. To change the default viewer, use the Open With command.
What's Imported
EagleFiler imports the entire raw source of the message, including the attachments and headers. In other words, all the information is preserved; if desired, the messages can be imported back into the mail program with full fidelity. (Exceptions: When importing from Eudora, EagleFiler imports the message text as processed and stored by Eudora, and it does not import the attachments, which Eudora stores separately. Webmail messages imported as PDFs do not include the full source or attachments.)
Copying and Deleting
As with other types of imports, EagleFiler copies the messages into its library. When it's done, you can delete the messages from your mail program. It's simpler to have each message stored in only one place (the mail program or EagleFiler), and this way you won't accidentally import multiple copies of the same messages into EagleFiler.
Mailbox (mbox) vs. Individual Message (.eml) Files
EagleFiler preferes to store messages in mailbox ("mbox") files. This is both for efficiency (one file rather than thousands for a mailbox containing thousands of messages) and for compatibility with other software that can read the standard mbox format. When you capture multiple e-mails at once, EagleFiler stores them in a mailbox file automatically.
If you prefer to store your messages as individual .eml files rather than mailboxes, you can drag and drop the messages out of the mailboxes once they're in EagleFiler. You can also import an individual message directly from Apple Mail via capture or drag and drop. Individual message files can be combined into a mailbox via the Merge Message Files command.
Merging Mailboxes
Each time you import from a mailbox, a new mailbox file is created in EagleFiler, using the same name as in your mail program. If you had previously imported from that mailbox, you may already have a mailbox file in EagleFiler with that name.
Deleting Messages in Mailboxes
Each mailbox file stores multiple messages, and for speed and data integrity reasons, EagleFiler does not modify mailbox files. Instead, when you delete a message EagleFiler hides it from view (unless you have Show ‣ Deleted Messages checked). Most e-mail messages are small enough that there's little benefit to physically removing the data for deleted messages. If you need to reclaim the disk space used by deleted messages, you can do this by deleting the mailbox file. First, drag the non-deleted messages to a folder so that EagleFiler extracts them as individual .eml files. Then delete the mailbox. You can optionally use the Merge Message Files command to recombine the .eml files into a new mailbox.

Form W-2 is the form that an employer must send to an employee (and the IRS) at the end of the year showing their income earned during the year. The W-2 form reports an employee's annual wages and the amount of taxes withheld from their paycheck. It holds a great deal of other information as well. Some for the Employee/taxpayer Some for the IRS. And there is even some information that is on these forms that is being collected as a study for our government.
Your W-2 has all your information on it, Your SS number, Name and address. Make sure this information is correct. You should ask your employer to correct any wrong information on your Form W-2.
Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, comes in a variety of sizes, shapes, and formats. Regardless of the format, every Form W-2 contains the same information.
Knowing how to read a Form W-2 can help you understand and get a head-start when preparing your income taxes.

It is time to end Fear. It's time for America to find some perspective.
34 people - US deaths last year from dog bites.
29 people - US deaths last year from lightning strikes.
15 people - US private citizen deaths last year from terrorism, most all of them in Afghanistan.
Compare/contrast this with:
13,186 people - Worldwide private citizen deaths last year from terrorism.
What does this tell us?
What it tells us is that (A) our Federal national security apparatus is doing a great job; (B) we ARE protected & living in relative secure & safe times, and (C) life in these United States is NOT as dangerous as as past administrations and a sensationalizing media would have us believe.
We are coming up on the 10th anniversary of the attack on The World Trade Center in Manhattan, "9/11", a heart-wrenching & momentous day within living American history. The tenth anniversary will likely be a difficult emotional day for many many Americans.
But one thing these numbers tell us is that we do NOT have to live in Fear.
And many Americans have been living in Fear. Fear of being attacked. Fear of foreigners. Fear of invasion. Fear of people "not like us". Fear of flying. Fear of being in large American cities. Fear of being a target.
Some, many perhaps, have reacted to 9/11 with anger, with resentment, with rage. These emotional reactions are understandable.
My concern — my fear — lay in the way strong emotive states can be fed upon, nurtured & manipulated.
Fear & Anger are two of the prime emotions. They go way way waaaaaaaaay back into our genetic code. They come to us from our ancient ancestors, from prehistory, from pre-human forms & ways of being. Fear & Anger are "primal".
And because they are SOOOO deeply rooted, these two states in particular short-circuit higher brain function. It is hard to be rational in a State of Fear. It is hard to be reasonable in a State of Anger.
And the media MANIPULATES this.
So do governments. [The past US one did so heavily.]
But modern societies need clear & reasoned rational thought.
It is a challenge to be clear & reasoned, rational — to THINK! — in a media culture that foments Fear & Anger.
THAT is the real challenge.
Life involves risk.
You cannot be alive in this world without having to confront a certain amount of risk.
Risk is PART of Life.
But not all risks are equal.
Terrorism, yes, IS a serious world problem right now. Unfortunately, yes, it is a part of our contemporary world that, yes, we do have to deal with.
But let us get some perspective on the nature of the domestic risk of terrorism.
Will terrorists strike again within the bounds of the United States? Probably. Will events like 9/11 happen to the people of the United States again? It is hard to say, but, yes, the possibility IS there; the probability of that, however, is hard to know.
Given these kinds of relative numbers, though — 34 US deaths last year from dog bites — 29 US deaths from being struck by lightning — and only 15 private US citizen deaths from terrorism, most all of those happening OUTSIDE the United States?
Given these kinds of relative numbers, it seems more important that we focus, say, on the 18,000 CHILDREN who die EVERY DAY from hunger.
18,000 kids. Every single day. Dying from not having enough food to eat.
I am sorry, folks… But THAT kind of statistic makes it clear that terrorism is NOT the biggest problem facing us right now.
And maybe — if we stopped to think — we might realize that if more children had enough food to keep them alive? Maybe then their parents would not be so desperate that they think they have to resort to terrorism in order to be heard or to affect any kind of political change. I mean… THINK about it… What would YOU do if you watched your baby dying because there was not enough food around to keep it alive?
There ARE ways to think about the problems & challenging the world.
And we do not have to resort to extremism ourselves in the face of other people doing desperate acts of willful destruction.
We need to see ourselves clearly.
And we need to realize that there are ways to THINK about these things without submitting to emotional blindness.
I have been meditating quite a bit again recently on my own death, which seems quite a bit close.
It isn't just the seasonal ritual death of "Old Man Winter" (as personified by "Santa Claus" or whatever, take your pick). Even my dreams wake me with constant reminder. When a thought invades your waking days and wakes you up at night, it is time to take notice.
I intuitively feel that I won't be around for more than another year or two. It's irrational. Just a gut feeling. And?

" Iiyama Pro Lite E2208HDD-1 - LCD display - TFT - 22" - widescreen - 1920 x 1080 - 300 cd/m2 - 1000:1 - 10000:1 (dynamic) - 5 ms - 0.248 mm - DVI-D, VGA "
Recently, I needed to upgrade my monitor. The little 14" thing that I had been using had served me well, but since it could barely fit one page of A4 on it, it was time for it to be relegated to the spare computer which I had Frankensteined into life out of bits of old motherboard and hard drives lying around in the garage. My new PC was on its way too, and I wanted a monitor that could handle anything I could throw at it.
I bought this from a little electronics shop just outside of Newcastle-Under-Lyme (sorry guys, service was great but I can't for the life of me remeber the name of the shop! If I do, I'll mention you here because you deserve the coverage). Anyway, it was a snip at just under £120 (inc. VAT), and there was no waiting around for it to be delivered. This is avaible on Amazon from numerous different sellers at wildly varying prices. It's best to shop around before parting with your cash
It comes in quite a robust box, with two polystyrene protectors. While most people don't like to clutter their houses up with bulky packaging, this is definitely worth keeping if you think you may move house or need to ship it off somewhere, as they are quite delicate. It looks like it could have done with a bit more padding inside, but since it wasn't delivered to me, this wasn't an issue.
This was incredibly straightforward. While there is no drivers CD, nor a manual included, if you have any experience setting up computers this is a doddle. Beginners may struggle, but tech support is avaible either on the Iiyama website, or there are tech-help forums out there.
The base of the monitor is a bit flimsy, and has to be attached before setting it up, and it does concern me that should it fall over, it might not survive the force of even such a small fall. I'll try to be careful, though!
The connection to the PC is via Digital Video Interface (DVI), meaning it is HD ready and transfers data in an uncompressed fashion. This is immediately evident when we come to...
For the price, there can be no complaints made about the clarity and resolution this monitor gives. The HD quality at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels is awesome. No fuzziness, no bleeding and certainly no dead pixels. Thank goodness for LCD screens - no more degaussing required after too much magnetic interference from the speakers.
I use my PC for work, surfing the net, creative writing, gaming and watching TV and movies, both streamed and on DVD. At just under 22" (calling it so is a bit naughty, as it's really only 21.5) this monitor is better than the flat-screen TV in my living room. My girlfriend and I have been watching the latest series of Torchwood online rather than on the TV as the quality it gives is so good - we've set up a little home cinema in the office!
For work, this suits my needs exactly. As a typesetter and proofreader by trade, I regularly need to have two pages of A4 visible on screen at once. The resolution and dimensions of this monitor allow this to be done with ease. I also need to be able to magnify smaller areas for graphic-design purposes, and again the huge tracts of screen allow this to be done without it cramping up. It's like being able to breathe again...
I won't go into too much boring techie detail here, but it has all the usual features - such as colour set-up, brightness, contrast, vertical/horizontal adjustment, language setup and other things. It also has an auto-setup optionm, which could help the beginner. It also has a secondary input/output feature, so you can link it to another monitor should you need to (and be lucky enough to have a sufficiently large desk!)
Build quality:
This is my only slight concern. While the performance of this monitor is awesome for the price, it does feel slightly flimsy. I'm a firm believer in getting what you pay for, and it does feel that in keeping the costs down. It's not awful, though, and should last a long time. It's power-consumption is low (~40 Watts), and is energy-star certified, so it's not going to melt the ice-caps in a hurry.
All in all, I'm very pleased with this monitor, as it does everything I need it to do, and was pretty inexpensive.

I find this conclusion:
"Game devs flock to VR as Steam Box interest wanes, says GDC Europe survey"
to be rather premature,
I can see the interest for the steambox is almost equal to the Xbox one platform, which to me is quite considerable. it is well above any handheld (aside from tablets and phones) and even ahead of browser based tech.
also unfortunate is that there is no stats on developers developing for Steambox/linux in the second and third charts. but to say they are abandoning the steambox platform seems like a leap to me especially considering how few people were interested in Linux platforms before the Steamplatform was announced
|Benjy Davo
Never really got who it was supposed to be for to be honest. It seems really odd that they would do this now when PC is at an all time premium as this survey kind of supports. Thanks to the drop off in the hardware arms race lots of people have a PC who can run just about anything at some level or another.
|Mike Griffin
Any PC is also a Steambox. Just sayin'.
Your current PC could be a Steambox, without even losing your existing Windows and files.
The 'Steambox' is SteamOS.
This is an OS with a Windows installer.
This is an OS that allows dual-booting and custom partitioning.
If you bought a snazzy compact HTPC now, it could still be a "Steambox" later.
Anyway, it's the hardware partners that jumped on board with Valve early, planning for Steambox units this year, that feel the burn of the extended SteamOS beta and delayed Steam Controller. But, lucky for them, this year more than ever we see compact living room PCs (with powerful/compact chipsets) are becoming en vogue again, and there's Steam and Big Picture Mode to help support that.
With the shift to 2015, it gives Valve time to fortify the SteamOS software line-up, because it's going to take some exclusives and some hot Linux 'ports' (along with a fantastic experience in the interface) to convince people to buy Steamboxes in the sense of buying into an all new hardware platform (which it isn't).
It's good to see some of the SteamOS (or, Steambox) features already introduced for Steam this year, like In-Home Streaming.
|David Lejeune
It seems odd to say that 'interest in Steambox is way down' while at the same time interest in PC is much higher than for any other platform. Are they including Linux in the PC/Mac column? Because if so, guess what? Steambox is included in that.
The Steam Machines as a platform that devs would specifically target wasn't exactly what Valve's plans for it were, as far as I could tell (which may also be part of why some of the hardware partners are backing away from it now).
|Nuttachai Tipprasert
Lets face it. Steam Box is DOA. They are hardwares that aiming for target audiences that never existed. Playing PC game on sofa with controller? AFAIK, not many games on PC are optimized for controller. And if you want to play your games on sofa in your living room just turn on big picture mode on Steam and stream the games over to your TV and.. Voila! You got a Steam Box!
|comparin christophe
Steam Boxes are available, they are called PC's. I am using one right now. Whatever marketing guy says.

Emo is a dirty word. It's too general of a music genre that, admitting to listening to, could make you an outcast in an instant. A few really bad mislabeled bands from the mid 2000s make me scared to admit to listening to The Promise Ring or American Football, or even Cap'n Jazz. However, in the past couple years, a few brave and talented bands have reappropriated emo and made it cool again.
Lead vocalist Tanner Jones doesn't like to call it an "emo revival" however, "One of my friends called it an emo renaissance which I think is a way better term for it," he says. "Bands catch on to bands and those bands catch onto other bands and its like a pay it forward type of thing , kids react to music they like so that's what's getting popular." Now I am proud to admit that I am, and always have been, an emo kid. I owe a lot of the to the band You Blew It! as well as their contemporaries on Topshelf Records. WERS was lucky enough to have You Blew It! come into the studio for an On the Verge in-studio. And, needless to say things got emotional.
The first song the boys played was "Gray Matter" off of their new album Keep Doing What You're Doing. Their new record is a significantly more musically sophisticated and ambitious project that their debut Shut Up, Dude. "From our perspective," says Tanner on the new record "I feel like we took a lot of risks with this one, we were safe and calculated with the first one, we didn't let ourselves do a lot of things, like I wouldn't do a palm mute because heat was cool. This is the first record Andy wrote on, and he comes from a different background with, so we started doing things we weren't comfortable with, but that we liked. As soon as I heard crunchy guitar riffs of "Gray Matter", shy vocals, and the drummer abusing the Crash, I was hooked. The best part of it all however, was when the chorus came and Jones yelled (not scream, they're tasteful) emotively into the mic. His yelled had that on-the-verge-of-tears timbre that makes their kind of music so intense and relatable. Jones stood awkwardly close to the mic stand, stiff and uncomfortable, a little clue that his teenage angst and confusion never fully left him.
The band's next song, "You & Me & Me" started with just some banging on the drum. Soon enough entered some gentle, dare I say, emotional guitar chords that need room to breathe so they wouldn't have an anxiety attack. The song, unlike "Grey Matter", was more reminiscent of bands like American Football than The Promise Ring, It had strange, mathematical drum rhythms that were confusing but interesting and exciting, kind of like how I imagine it was to be 16 in 1999. When asked what he would be doing if not playing in You Blew It! Jones said
"I liked to think I'd be a successful human", which is inadvertently the best emo band name of all time.

COD finds himself thinking that restructuring is so 2011. The past few months have convinced him that one the one hand the scope of change we are looking at in the next 50 years is so profound, and, on the other hand, how utterly incapable governing structures currently are at shaping a discussion about what is needed (a quick run-through of the Blue Book Report shows that nothing of substance will likely emerge from this General Convention this summer, brought to us by the same people who can't use Excel properly). Collapse, my friends. That's what's coming.
