Six years after the first iPhone launched, Apple has finally made some major changes to the look and feel of its mobile operating system. Most of these improvements — including the new Notification Center, quick multitasking and Wi-Fi direct transfers — have been available on Android devices for years. So, if you wanted to transfer files quickly between phones, you could have done that just by tapping them together as long ago as 2011 . If you wanted to move quickly and easily between open apps, Android has provided a really great task-switching menu since version 4.0.
Perhaps sometime in 2014, Apple will get around to providing support for common Android features from 2012, such as NFC, floating windows and custom keyboards. Fortunately, there's no need to wait for Tim Cook and crew to play catch-up. Here are 10 ways Android beats iOS 7 today.
By default, both iOS 7 and Android 4.2 show only one app on the screen at a time, and with Apple's operating system, that's all you'll get. However, Android allows developers to either create floating apps, which appear in their own windows on top of the primary app, or to split the screen between two different apps.
These multiwindow and floating modes are so popular that Samsung, LG and Acer have built them directly into their versions of Android. There are also over 20 floating apps that anyone can download from the Google Play store.

What do you know Mr. Piltch, you are such an old out dated and out of touch goofy guy that no one takes you serious!
iOS 7 is the best I am not a Apple FANBOY but the above all reasons given for android beating ios7 is that Android is open among thousands of manufacturer and Android is a stack, It may look different in different devices. But iOS 7 will be found only on a Apple device which at the end of the day the best device to work on. Android only if you a buy a sony, samsung & htc u will have fun or else it would be a ordinary experience…
What's the matter "Jorge" , can't handle the truth ?
:') ^^
All these "ways android beats iOS 7″ are features that give you a headache (file system and SD cards), expose you to threats (non-market apps), too complicated for average users( over clocking), hardly used (NFC), ugly (multi-window and widgets), and make your experience fragmented/ not optimized for tablets (variety of Android versions, custom user interfaces and screen sizes).
Only feature I covet is universal share with more share options but iOS is not too laking (message, email, Fb, twitter and print are all I need).
However, if you think these features are important to you, then android suites you well. Not me, these are the exact reasons made me turn away from it.
It is like "How rooted Android beats iOS", but jailbroken iOS is supercool as well. Android is not uniform, many still use Gingerbread, so nobody should care about this article…
I actually like Android. That said, this was a biased, foolish piece of drivel.
Except for the sharing issues on IOS, most of these were reasons to run screaming from Android. Applied aesthetics in the apple ecosystem and CONSISTENCY across physical design actually make for a better platform upon which to design, both in terms of applications and OS. Your arguments to the contrary come off as drooling and wild eyed.
Please stop writing for public consumption. You're hurting both sides of the issue.
I love all these debates about which is better… now how about some real life experience. I run a program at a major public university where faculty are given the opportunity to pick between an IPad and a name brand Android loner tablet to evaluate for up to 6 weeks before their department purchases their preferred device for them. To a person they pick the IPad convinced that's what they want. After about 4 weeks 80% of IPad loaners have been returned and the Android device takes its place and 100% of those pick the Android as their preferred device for purchase. As a result of actually being able to work with both devices 75% of the devices purchased and assigned permanently are Android tablets. But that's not the most interesting result. The most interesting result is that our help desk generates reports consistently showing that the 25% of those who picked the IPad as theior primary device account for between 65 and 80% of calls for assistance with the number 1 resolution to their calls being … drum roll … not supported on I devices.
In reply to the real world, funniest thing I have read in decades!
My experience with Android is that, because a solution is possible, I
spend hours searchig for one not finding a satisfactory one.
I started off as a bit of an Apple hater, but the longer I
use Android the more I want to give the other side a try. I have yet
to find solutions for e.g. reliable synchronization (as in: cannot
easily misconfigure, propagates file deletions as well, … ), which
iOS supposely has off the factory. The freely accessible file system
doesn't exactly help THAT cause.
Most of the described advantages I have come to consider downsides of
Android over 2 years of usage. While thereotically giving freedom, in
practive they also reduce the polish of some solutions. E.g. if I use
a friend's Iphone for comparison I don't notice automatic brightness
adjustment, its just right. On my phone auto-brightness is noticably
discontinous (which is distracting) and always too dark.
Also: Displays. Over the years I have seen the best-on-market ones
always with Apple. Glossy, yet not overly reflective and reasonably
finger-print resistant. High resolution. Not following the trend of
forcing movie aspect ratios down people's throat. (though the iphone 5
has 16:9 too now, for whatever reason…).
The Android world isn't doing itself much good either with phones and
tablets often being put on display without even internet connection
and most certainly without preinstalled apps/games as found on
the iOS presentation devices.
Sure, I have yet to try an iOS device for everyday use and recent
changes (16:9 IPhone, iOS7 design) don't make me optimistic about
Apple's future course, but right now they still have the devices that
generate the feeling of "it is right".
@InTheRealWorld: All I know is that the only tablets I see used e.g.
for reading scientific papers are iPads. That is easily explained
though — an A4 10pt Paper is still readable in full-page view in
Portrait mode at 1500 pixels but at 1080 it is already a bit blurry
and noticably blurry at 768 pixels (1366×768). I opened some papers in
a shop and compared tablets – the iPad mini surprisingly seemed the
second best after the iPad 3/4 for that purpose because while
providing the same effective area and resolution for full-page
document viewing as 10″ "HD" 1366×768 Android devices it is smaller ⇒
better handling.
Can you give more details what people were doing with Android, that
wasn't possible with iOS? I'd like to know before I make a
I am in the IT for two decades, you made me laugh with your joke of the year. Users returning ipads for android devices. LOL
I think a very important thing is that android is slow and unsafe. You can compare is like mac and pc, some features are better on both deviced, but its the quality of the product, not the features. You look at them only if you need them, but if you have features without the quality, you dont have anything.
Sadly, I see people arguing that iphone is better and that it is unbelievable that an iphone or ipad would be returned for an android device. What is so unbelievable when I have used both iphone, ipod and android devices for a while and as simple as it may seem to use an apple product, android hosts more support for multiple devices. Points being made that android is unsafe, irrelevant because back when iphone was new it, too, had its own issues of unsafe usability because hacking was an issie and still is. Any smartphone connected to the internet that uses applications not approved by apple and android from third party sources makes your phone at risk and a liability for personal information and other data to be collected and misised. So the point being made here is not about safeness, it is about which is preferred based on user experience and the chosen that most people want to believe is apple products, but since android has improved over the past 2 years it has outsold apple devices by hundreds for the fact that it offers based on what users want and are comfortable with. Not everybody uses iphones and ipads or ipods for internet use and reading "scientific papers"… prove how it is harder to read such on a screen that is bigger and better than an iphone? Iphones are smaller and support less internet applications like flash and many full websites, and the app technology for social media and internet have been outdated by how android has improved upon then that besides the fact both systems offer instant messaging apps that can have video calling, iphones facetime is limited to apple products whereas android can work with computers of all kinds as well as tablets and other phones. Those of you who prefer iphone over android is because you feel safe with an ios system that has updates that nearly never change or improve, whereas android improves hence why there are so many updates and the additional memory ports for sd memory is a benefit cause it offers up to 64 gigs in addition to the android phone memory. Why spend 500 on an iphone limited to 64 gigs and when running low on memory the phone slows down when I can use android and put everything on an sd card or 2 or 3 if I choose and do not have to worry about a slower phone because the option to free up phone memory is a benefit to all users from beginner to advanced. Iphones are like the blackberries of tue corporate world… the safe devoce. Android is the true device of the future because itnadvance quickly and is used more qidely including at my school as well because they have apps for android… and not for iphone. Why? Because ios is outdated technology that nobody seems to care about anymore. For9r individuals who do more than websurf like gaming, watching videos, movies, write reports and papers, listen to music in addition to texting and using the phone for its actual purpose of making calls, android offers more for less and with more support, some things are even free. So before arguing which is better and how android seems so diffcult and frustrating… take your head out of your butt and realize the only thing difficult is getting rid of the ignorant attitude you have because even if you do not admit being a fanboy, androids operating system is more beneficial to everyone. Why buy an iphone 5 when there are 3 different kinds being offered for free thatstill cannot compete and have the same screwy technology year in and out and still it is not perfected or at least made better. Real lifeuse or not, what what people use their phones for nowadays, even my coworkers who had iphones turned them over for an HTC or Samsung phone because they agree the usage they get out of an android device is a bigger gain than anything apple can offer. Anything apple does android is doing better, including offering us apps from ios that apple users paid for, we get free!
For me, it comes down to reliability. I can't tell you how many times Android users lose their contacts, etc. I have never had that issue with my iPhone. I have had a few Android devices in the past few years, but switching to iPhone was a great choice. I haven't had the slow processing issues that I had with Android eliminating the need for a 'Force Close' app that I needed on Android.
I have said for a long time that from the moment you start up an Android for the first time, the clock begins to wind down before it goes completely kaput. I've had my iPhone for a year and a half and haven't had even HALF the issues my Androids presented me with in that time.
If Android could fix the slow processing and the crashing issues, I would consider returning.
It's like a religion, no matter what u choose, u will like it and adore its advantages,
But for me personally, freedom given by android devices that allows us to work with thousands of installed free apps…. it's just awesome
The two reasons I prefer Galaxy 3 on the Android system over iPhone is because (1) it has a removable battery. You cannot stop the Feds from tracking the iPhone because as long as the battery is in a phone, it can be tracked. (2) I like to be able to store information and pictures on a removable memory card. I like iPhone but choose Samsung Galaxy for these reasons.
east 2 west ios is the best …….android slags alltimes
Alysha – what are you talking about? Google automatically backsup your contacts. unless you are a moron ther eis no way for you to lose your contacts on Android
freedom vs safety
choose the latter you lose both
Androids are… okay. I recently switched from iOS to Android and the experience so far just doesn't match iOS. Sure, you have tons of apps and you can download them from any where, but their quality is bad and they're not always safe to install. Special keyboard apps cost money and the default Android one is less user friendly (although I do like the Swype thing). Opening/switching apps gives me a noticeable lag which annoys me a lot.
Reflecting on only what has been mentioned here, I would have to say reliability tumps all else. One reader here said it best.
Beyond this, the heavy dependence on Java-coded apps and Java RTE, will always mean that Android device performance will lag others.

The monitor is perhaps the most important element of any computer setup, you spend all the time you are at your PC looking at it and it directly impacts on the experience you have with your computer. Unfortunately the monitor is also often the most overlooked component. Only several years ago CRT monitors were the most popular and cost effective screen to be looking at. However due to their bulky size and high freight costs they have rapidly fallen out of favour since the lower cost TFT screens have come to market. There are TFT screens available for every budget and with good quality HD resolution screens now available for under £100.00 there has never been a better time to upgrade to a widescreen HD monitor.

Brazzers this year celebrates a decade of being at the forefront of the pornography business. That's ten years of arousing folks the world over, ten years of shooting the most decadent porn ever shot on US soil, and ten years of hiring only the brightest and boldest pornstars to screw their brains out on camera. Perhaps for you, the casual visitor, nothing much has changed since you first examined the Brazzers tour pages with a magnifying glass and gym sock, but those of us who share a deep, intimate, professional connection to the Brazzers empire knows that this network is constantly evolving to bring you what it claims is the world's best porn.
Nubiles is many things to many people: for its models it's exposure and a paycheck; for its photographers it's a chance to shoot the hottest newcomers in porn (and also a paycheck); for you, the home viewer, it's a veritable smorgasbord of softcore modeling, masturbation, and hardcore lesbian and hetero sex that, while never straying too far from the mainstream, can be very, very thrilling. There's no such thing as a foolproof plan, not even in porn, but if these are the young ladies that give you a rise, Nubiles is as close to a sure thing as it gets. Nubiles is the site for you!
If you've never been a member of Videobox, "The absolute largest collection of porn anywhere on the web," you're not only missing out on the deepest, densest, most depraved porn archive the world has ever known, but you're probably paying some other site far too much to disappoint. Starting at just $8-a-month, Videobox is much less expensive than any site holding nearly 100,000 explicit scenes has any right to be. Join now before they change their minds! Viva la pornografica! Viva la Videobox!
Having photographed nude and sexually occupied women for well over two decades, you could say Denys Defrancesco knows a thing or ten about erotica and pornography. Put his experience to the test by peeling back the curtains closing Defrancesco's extensive DDF Network and examining its worth. Have you found yourself interested in lesbian whipping and caning sessions, oil-aided footjobs, deep-throat fellatio, or the delightful Hungarian goddess known to mortals as Eve Angel? Then it's likely you'll find DDF Network as thrilling as a virtual roll in the hay with Ms. Angel herself and a few of her girlfriends. After all, in a way that's kind of what DDF Network is all about.
For many, hardcore pornography begins and ends with Evil Angel, the company started by John "Buttman" Stagliano back in 1989. Home to porn's most accomplished and compelling directors and performers, not to mention a litany of depraved, debauched acts that'll redden the cheeks of even the most seasoned porn viewer, Evil Angel is, quite frankly, and empire that seems impossible to beat at its own game. Now, with a fresh new redesign giving the site a new look and functionality, Evil Angel is pushing forward and seems to be constantly evolving.
Since 1999, Met Art has been filling the 'net with some of the most seductive, sensual imagery to ever pour out of Europe's vibrant erotica industry. Beautiful European women posing naked, shot by world-class photographers, and delivered in high-res photo and HD video formats, Met Art clearly takes its erotica very seriously. Now part of a network of the same name, Met Art seems to be branching out, extending its brand, but what does that mean for the casual visitor and the devoted member, both? Mr. Pink will reveal all!
Naughty America needs no introduction, but I'm gonna do it anyway… Folks, if you've ever doubted that it's the United States of America that the rest of the world looks to for guidance in naughty affairs of state, society, and sexuality. Naughty America, the nation's flagship patriot-porn network, hosts more than 35 websites devoted to the multitude of fantasies we Americans harbor and one day hope to exercise. From American Daydreams to Seduced by a Cougar, Naughty America's fantasies are filled with porn's most compelling women and it's stiffest men, all carefully cast for maximum effectiveness. Your fantasies, your favorite pornstars, and your new favorite network: Naughty America.
Boasting one of the strongest viewerships in online porn, Reality Kings is a bold and adventurous network of 42 websites, each one given a niche interest to follow or genre conventions to exploit. From MILF Hunter to Moms Bang Teens, from Round and Brown to 8th St Latinas, from Pure 18 to Big Tit Boss, Reality Kings has a huge amount of stellar porn to offer and brilliantly constructed network on which to offer it. Dig in, it's so much better than real life.

Organizer @ TEDxTodai, TEDxTodai
This conversation is closed.
A well-balanced TEDx speaker line-up consists of..
Hi! First post here. I'm the tentative co-organizer for TEDxUTokyo (Tokyo Uni) for 2013. I say tentative b/c we have not yet renewed our licence. Nice to meet you all.
Our team is currently in the midst of brainstorming a list of speakers for the upcoming event (crossing our fingers for May). The consensus we've reached is that though we would ideally like to have the majority of our speakers be 1) directly affiliated with UTokyo and 2) students/young speakers who have not yet had a chance to voice their ideas, we realize that there is also a lot of value in inviting established, well-known speakers as well.
Before we split off for the winter holidays (90% of the members are current students), it was brought up that it would be helpful to have a guideline to use in individual brain-storming sessions over break. Since TED(x) stresses a balanced line-up of speakers from a variety of different backgrounds, the proposed guideline would provide initial categories (e.g. hard sciences, humanities, social justice, education, etc.) of speakers and topics. Any thoughts? We would greatly appreciate any feedback and/or suggestions you all may have regarding this idea.
This is all very, very exciting. Thanks for taking the time to read this rather lengthy question.
Seigi Karasaki
Dec 24 2012: Hi Seigi, I'm not sure if I met you earlier in the year at a TEDxTokyo meeting :) but here are my 2 yen. I think your line up should benefit UTokyo students, but expand their perspective beyond what they already know about the university and themselves. As well, if it is recorded for a worldwide audience later on Youtube, these types of speakers would be relatable to viewers everywhere, though they are coming out of Japan:
1. I think it would be interesting to invite members of Japanese society who never went to university. Like, people who have succeeded or have solved life's problems without going through the regular channels of a prestigious education like at U Tokyo--it would be interesting to hear how they did it. This would be interesting, rare and perhaps controversial for a UTokyo event!
2. Invite a UTokyo alumnus who has spent many years abroad working on an extraordinary project. It would be great to know how this person feels his/her top-tier education helped (or not) and how he/she thinks the mixture of ideas from Japan and abroad can create synergy to solve upcoming problems.
Dec 24 2012: Congratulations for your good ideas! :-)Dec 30 2012: Hi Genevieve,
Thanks for your awesome input! I really like both 1 and 2. I will definitely delve into both and see what I can come up with.
I haven't met you yet! Are these TEDxTokyo meetings frequent? I would love to show up sometime and acquire some knowledge/insight/inspiration if possible.
Sean Brother
Dec 23 2012: I'd like to express my admiration for the Japanese culture, education and social behaviour. In my opinion, these are pretty good topics for world wide spreading. Many of us could learn some things of and about Japanese people.
- +1
Dec 30 2012: Sean, thanks for your input! Anything you'd like to know more about in particular?Dec 18 2012: People that did the work to realize a dream.
People that have had to solve some of the complex realities of life.
People that have overcome adversity or a handicap of some kind.
People that have taken the initiative to apply their passion to a big problem and made a difference.
People that have learned how to motivate, influence, and inspire people with their words.
Children in bad situations that have refused to give up hope.
Someone that has real advice on living on a budget that is commensurate with a very low income of a recent graduate
A college psychiatrist to talk about mental health issues through college and during transition and negative life events
Someone to speak about taking initiative and APPLYING what has been learned rather than waiting to be told what to do.Dec 18 2012: I think it's important to consider a lot of different things. For starters you have to consider people's attention span. While the idea being presented might seem like a great idea to the speaker doesn't always come out that way everybody else. It's difficult though because you are walking the fine line between education and entertainment. So if the subject is important and informative does it matter that it's boring?
As far as the flow of your lineup I'm not so sure that should be your goal. I don't think there's any way to make hard sciences flow with education. I also don't think you should limit speakers or inform them that their ideas have somehow conform with the previous person's ideas because that would defeat the purpose of brainstorming.
I think what you're going for is entertainment value. In order to facilitate an environment where people aren't falling asleep you need to constantly add new outside stimuli. The brain will fall into an idle state if you consistently throw out the same information repeatedly. So the answer is keep it fresh. Allow your speakers to brainstorm about the idea and how they're going to present that idea.
I think a good way to start would be writing all the topics on a piece of paper. Should then rank these topics by popular vote. What is the most popular subject in the group? Any good event should have a climax at some point. It would probably be beneficial to build up to an event or certain speaker and then wind down from there.
I also wouldn't be afraid to do some on-the-fly changes. You should have somebody at the event that constantly monitors the output of your speakers. Somebody that can actually manage the crowd and understand the general mood of the audience. You shouldn't be afraid to separate speakers based on ability and place those individuals accordingly.
Keep it fresh.

Fantastic idea. I think this is an interesting approach. Thanks!
Don Anderson
Dec 18 2012: Just as a TED fan I'll add my ideas to the brainstorm;
- +1
Seeing how Japan is the world leader in elderly care robotics and the rest of the world knows so little on the subject, speaker on that subject would be great and as far as I know it has not been a topic cover before in a TED talk.
Personally just last night I watched a show on Bhutan and its push for "Gross National Happiness" and GNH is a topic I would enjoy hearing more about. So an expert in that field I believe would be a good speaker to look for.
Dec 30 2012: That sounds great! I love your idea about elderly care robotics. Robotics in Fukushima is also a hot topic right now.
We actually had a speaker last year present on Bhutan and GNH, but it's (unfortunately) not translated.
Ken brown
Dec 18 2012: I hope we see the session here, hopefully we get to see it in native as well as a speakers native dialect, the translators go unsung here on Ted, soon the total knowledge source of our planet will be sung in whatever the sources feels comfortable in.
- +1
We need more translators.
Dec 30 2012: Thanks Ken. I completely agree. I've found that a lot/most/all of our talks from last year aren't subtitled on youtube. I'll be sure to change that for this year.
J Chang
Dec 18 2012: First off, congrats on your willingness to provide innovative and thought provoking venues to your community, rock on! Although I am not an offical TEDx organizer, I have a TEDx like group that I host a monthly event that features distinguished speakers of various specialities. When I seek out potential speakers I shoot for the stars. I will try to get the most interesting and well known people in that subject, it never hurts to ask - you'll be surprised at their willingness to participate. These are the things that I consider:
- +1
1. Hot topics in the world, ie: 3D printers, DIY, Physics/Astromony, politics, and arts.
2. I pick a theme for my event and vary the topics. I'll never have two speakers on a similar subject talk.
3. I meet up with all of my potential speakers first to see what their personality is like, and how passionate they are about what they do (that is very important. Their passion will transcend to the audience and keep them engaged).
4. I know the demographics of my members. So I'll find something that interests everyone, from music to surgical innovations.
Remember that you are bringing value to your community, enabling them to explore and expand their minds. Have fun in the process, and don't stress too much - things will fall into place naturally.
Good Luck.

Pronounced EEK-ruh (with a rolld "r"), the Russian word for caviar or roe of any kind.
The Japanese variation on the Russian ikroj In Japanese restaurants, ikura refers specifically to salmon caviar. Other caviars used in Japanese cuisine include capelin roe (in Japanese masago) and flying fish roe (in Japanese tobiko).
Some caviar producers infuse whitefish roe with a variety of flavors, including beet, Cajun spices, citron, ginger, jalapeño, mango, saffron, and wasabi. Tsar Nicoulai of San Francisco and Collins Caviar of Chicago are two such producers.
Caviar from some Caspian osetra have a golden hue (and in some rare instances are totally gold in color). See golden osetra caviar.
Caviar harvested and fished from sturgeon species off the coast of Iran in the Caspian Sea, primarily the southwest shores, where the water is cooler and possibly cleaner. It is of equal quality as Russian caviar, as both are produced from the same species of sturgeon from the same waters. Iranian sturgeon species are Beluga, Osetra and Sevruga. The Sterlet was once plentiful but now it is rarely found in the wild.
The Kaluga sturgeon (Huso dauricus), also known as River Beluga, is a large predatory sturgeon that lives in the Amur-Heilong River basin, the largest river basin in northeast Asia. The river's source is the Mongolian Plateau; it flows east through Mongolia, China and Russia emerges at the Songhua River headwaters in North Korea.
The Kaluga is perhaps the second largest freshwater fish in the world, with the largest cited at 2,205 pounds and 18.6 feet in length—smaller than the Beluga sturgeon (the largest, which can grow up to 3,300 pounds and 30 feet in length) but larger than any other sturgeon. Unlike other large sturgeon, which are saltwater fish that spawn each fall and spring in freshwater rivers, the Kaluga lives in fresh river water in its juvenile years. When the kaluga was first caught by the scientific community in 1974, it was noted to be a different species in the Huso genus—the genus of the Beluga (Huso huso). See River Beluga Caviar.
KETA ROE or KETA RED CAVIAR
The roe of the Keta salmon (Oncorhynchus keta). The eggs are slightly larger than Alaska salmon caviar, and the color is very bright, ranging from red to pale orange. The fish has a mild flavor. Keta caviar originated in Russia in the early 1800s. Keta are also found wild in Alaska, where they are also called Chum and Silverbrite, plus Chub, Calico Salmon and Dog Salmon (due to its large, sharp teeth and the hook nose of the male salmon.
Caviar that is prepared in conformance with Jewish dietary laws and certified kosher.

What sprayer do most of you use when spraying your finished product?
I have a Husky standard bottom spray gun, and two cheep CP harbor freight gravity fed spray guns, one 20 oz and one 4 oz detail.
Also what tip number do you use in your guns? My 20 oz has a 1.3 tip and I am planing on using it praying thinned rust-olium paint on my projects and clear coat on my horseshoe projects with the 4 oz gun.
I am converting both gravity fed guns to 3M PPS liner systems.
Thanks for any input.

I use Sata and DeVilbiss HVLP guns, but that's just my preferences. I use whatever size needle and aircap that the finish manufacterer recommends in their data sheet for the product I'm spraying.

Just weeks before the second Global Nuclear Security Summit convenes in South Korea, the United States still has not enacted a law critical to ratifying what the Obama administration at the first summit called "the two key international treaties governing nuclear security" (see GSN, Oct. 6, 2011).
The Senate endorsed both pacts four years ago without opposition. However, Congress has yet to sign off on legislation that would force the United States to come into line with the mandates.
The administration is still wrangling with Congress over legal specifics for implementing the international agreements, according to representatives of the State Department and involved congressional committees.
Officials from the Justice and State departments are meeting routinely with Capitol Hill staffers in an effort to resolve disputes, but neither side has promised formal action on the proposals prior to the March 26-27 event in Seoul or before the current congressional term ends next January.
Some issue specialists called for senior-level White House involvement in finalizing U.S. adoption of the agreements, a step they said is crucial to improving atomic-material protections around the world and to bolstering global collaboration in apprehending and punishing potential nuclear-terrorism suspects.
"The White House needs to call Democrats who are on the Hill and tell them to make it happen," said Miles Pomper, a senior research associate at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Washington.
One of the two arrangements requires member nations to criminalize the possession or use of sensitive materials in a nuclear or radiological weapon with the intent of causing death and destruction. It also establishes guidelines for cooperating in the extradition and prosecution of individuals linked to a nuclear plot or threat. The 2005 pact -- called the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism -- took effect in 2007 and now has 77 member states; the United States, however, remains outside the regime.
The second agreement, also completed in 2005, would revise the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material to demand a number of requirements aimed at protecting nonmilitary nuclear material in domestic use, storage, or transport. The accord presently only requires such measures for material in transit between countries. To take effect, the amendment must be ratified by 97 of the original 145 signatories to the 1980 pact; 53 had done so as of late February, according to a U.N. document.
At the 2010 nuclear summit in Washington, the Obama administration said the United States had "accelerated efforts to complete ratification procedures" for the convention and amendment. One month earlier, it had provided Congress with a draft bill to implement the agreements, describing the legislation as "nearly identical" to a proposal put forward by the Bush administration in July 2008.
No lawmaker has sponsored a bill in Congress for complying with the treaties, however. Last year, the Justice Department provided the new 112th Congress with a slightly revised proposal for meeting the terms of the pacts. Also included in the submission was the department's fourth draft bill since 2007 for implementing two separate agreements on legal procedures for terrorism cases involving ships or fixed platforms, as well as overseas transfers of terrorist fugitives or of WMD materials or delivery systems.
The Senate in September 2008 provided constitutionally mandated "advice and consent" for all four deals, but the two bills for complying with the agreements would also require approval from the House of Representatives.
The Obama administration in 2010 launched discussions with Congress aimed at hammering out consensus language for implementing the two nuclear-security agreements, and the State Department as of late January was holding talks on all four pacts "at least once a month or so" with staffers from the Judiciary and Foreign Affairs committees in the House or Senate, one department official said. The Justice Department has also participated in the discussions, said the source, who was authorized to speak only on condition of anonymity.

Hi Ronit,
Thanks so much for listing my giveaway on your blog :) I noticed that yesterday and it was exciting to find, I hadn't seen 'International Giveaways' and will now be following :)
Thanks also for your comments, I do sell my DrWho plushies, but they take quite a while to create each one and sell quickly so they are rarely visible in my shop except in my sold items: http://www.etsy.com/shop_sold.php?user_id=7578722.
Will be adding a Tom Baker one to my shop this weekend.
Thanks again!

Gourmet Cocoas & Hot Chocolates
The Ultimate Comfort Food?
There is a difference between cocoa and hot chocolate. Cocoa is made from cocoa powder, hot chocolate is made from shaved chocolate bars. Both are mixed with hot milk or water, but since cocoa powder is defatted, hot chocolate is a richer beverage. It can easily have double the cocoa butter of cocoa powder.
Hot chocolate was invented by the Swiss, who first thought to shave a bar and mix it with boiled milk. Cocoa powder was invented by the Dutch. And it must be remembered that more than 2,000 years ago, enjoyment of chocolate began as a spiced cold beverage, cacahuatl (ka-KWA-tay), enjoyed by the Olmecs and later the Mayas and Aztecs.* It brought back to Spain by Cortès in 1527 and was not made into a solid food—pudding and pastilles—until 1674.
TRIVIA: In 1785, Thomas Jefferson predicted that chocolate (the term then for hot chocolate, as solid chocolate had not yet been invented) would become the favorite beverage in the U.S.—over coffee and tea. This prediction came after the Boston Tea Party and prior to the widespread consumption of coffee in America.
If you have ideas or suggestions about hot chocolate, please use the Contact Us link on this page to share them with us.
*Most likely man began eating the fruit in the pod; the roasting of the seeds in the fire, the beginning of the chocolate-making process, was likely a happy accident. The Olmec word, kakawa, evolved into the Mayan word is xocolatl, cho-co-lah-tay; cacahuatl, pronounced ca-ca-WHA-tay, is the Aztec word.

Pyramids, angels, humans, dogs; the icons employed by Keith Haring were intentionally timeless, chosen in large part for their use throughout the ages. Having drawn since childhood, Haring prized the creation of what amounted to his own pictorial language, using and reusing this infinitely malleable series of icons in arrangements meant not only to express, but to communicate with the viewer. A master in the use of positive and negative space, his highly influential work draws on a Pop Art palette and became more overtly political after his diagnosis with AIDS in 1988.

By Tom Roland | THE TENNESSEAN
LOS ANGELES -- Grammy voters last night affirmed what the nation already knows: Latin music is hot.
The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences put a decidedly Hispanic spin on its 42nd awards ceremony.
Carlos Santana was a landslide victor with seven awards, while NARAS placed a heavy salsa flavor on the early part of the telecast, with performances by Poncho Sanchez, Marc Anthony, the Buena Vista Social Club and Ricky Martin, among others. Sting also delivered a percussive performance with Hispanic singer Cheb Mami on "Desert Rose."
Even before America tuned in, Santana had already won six awards during a two-hour pre-telecast ceremony, where the bulk of the Recording Academy's 98 awards are given.
"Someone said that to live is to dream, to die is to awaken," Santana said during the pre-telecast at the Staples Center. "Please don't wake me up."

World AIDS Day Events in the Big Apple
According to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the city remains the epicenter of HIV and AIDS in this country. More than 107,000 New Yorkers are living with HIV, but thousands don't even know they are infected.
With the AIDS case rate nearly three times the U.S. average, New York has a lot to remember on World AIDS Day. Through a combination of candlelight vigils, health fairs, HIV testing days and a special art exhibition by Gay Men's Health Crisis and the Leslie-Lohman Museum, health advocates hope to spread the message that the fight against HIV/AIDS is far from over.
"For more than 25 years, World AIDS Day gives the planet the opportunity to think about the devastating impact this disease has had on our humanity," Leslie-Lohman's director, Hunter O'Hanian, told EDGE. "Many among us live with HIV and AIDS on a daily basis. This is a chance to remind everyone that the fight is not over and that through art, music and other creative forms of expression, we will continue to keep it in the public's mind until a cure, one which will be available to all, is found."
On Dec. 1, join with others for "Out of the Darkness," a candlelight vigil. Participants will gather at 6 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church at 164 W. 100th St. at Amsterdam Avenue and proceed to the Advent Lutheran Church/Broadway United Church of Christ at 2504 Broadway at 93rd Street. At 6:30 p.m., there will a reading of the names of those lost to AIDS. Sections of the International AIDS Memorial Quilt will be on display.
Join a daylong Housing Works World AIDS Vigil on Monday, Dec. 3, at Cadman Plaza East in Downtown Brooklyn. The event will feature a reading of names of those who have fallen victim to AIDS. People are encouraged to bring their own names to be read.
The theme, "Housing is Healthcare: House People Living With HIV/AIDS," reflects Housing Work's mission on addressing homelessness and housing instability for those infected. The vigil will begin at 8 a.m. and go to 8 p.m.
GMHC has also taken the lead on providing free HIV testing from Nov. 28 to Dec. 8 throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx. See the complete list of HIV testing sites below.
Free HIV screenings will be available at the 2012 World AIDS Day Healthy Living Expo, held on Dec. 4 and 5 at the Empire State Plaza Convention Center in Albany. The expo will provide HIV prevention education workshops on body image, movement, dating and domestic violence and bullying and suicide prevention.
In addition to testing, GMHC will partner with Iris House to host "We're Not Taking It Lying Down," a discussion on health and wellness for women of color, on Sunday, Dec. 9, from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Adam Clayton Powell. Jr. State Office Building in Harlem at 163 W. 125th St.
"Joining forces with GMHC's Women's Institute on this campaign adds a stronger voice to the need for services for women of color," said Iris House Executive Director Ingrid Floyd. "I hope that through this campaign we are able to reach women who generally do not see themselves at risk of HIV and encourage them to get tested and know their status."
Guests speakers include GMHC CEO Dr. Marjorie Hill, Iris House's Ofelia Barrios, National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS President (and former Manhattan Borough President) C. Virginia Fields, activist Michelle Lopez, author Sylvia Ortiz and Rev. Dr. Renee Washington Gardner of the Memorial Baptist Church. Free HIV testing and lunch will be provided.
On Nov. 29 in Harlem, continue the education at the NYC Men's Roundtable on STI, HIV & AIDS. Activist Amir Figueroa will lead the discussion. The event will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Connect, 127 W. 127th St., Room 432. Email email@example.com or call 212-683-0015 x225 for information.
With the holidays approaching, the time is perfect for Survivors of Mothers with AIDS 4th Annual Toy Drive, benefiting families affected by the disease. Attendees should bring a toy or toys for kids up to 16 years old, which will be distributed on Dec. 8 at GMHC's annual family holiday party. The toy drive will be held on Sunday, Dec. 2, from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. at Escuelita, 301 W. 39th St. Admission is free with a toy, $10 without.

This is why you love us. Erin Stone is one week into the business and we've got her first blowjob scene. So far, she's only done one girl/girl scene and this is the first time she's ever even been near a cock on camera. Is that fresh teen pussy I smell? Why, yes...yes it is! Erin isn't a pro by any stretch of the imagination, but she was eager to have a cock in her mouth and sometimes an eager newbie is all we really need. Plus, she's off the Richter scale cute with pigtails and a cute little mouth that makes the perfect O for cock target practice. First blowjob. First facial. No need thank us. It was our pleasure breaking in this first time teen.

Q: My father had a stroke in
his 60s and I'm very worried
that history will repeat itself
with me. What can I do to
prevent having a stroke?
Neurologist Philip Barasch,
MD, co-medical director
of Bridgeport Hospital's
Stroke Center, responds:
A: While research has determined
that genetic factors for stroke are real, pinning
down a person's exact risk still cannot be determined.
Nonetheless, you can reduce your chances of having a
stroke by controlling certain risk factors with medication
and by making a few lifestyle changes.
There are many risk factors that you and your physician can
control. Perhaps the most important is control of high blood
pressure which, through medication and lifestyle modifications,
can reduce your stroke risk by up to 40 percent. Losing
weight, eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, exercising for about 30 minutes a day and quitting smoking also contribute
to your overall cardiovascular health. Other important
factors to lessen risks include controlling diabetes and
high cholesterol, and avoiding heavy alcohol consumption.
People with certain heart conditions, such as atrial fibrillation,
have a high risk of developing a stroke. Anticoagulant
(blood thinning) therapy and surgery can reduce that risk.
[See cover story.] You may also want to talk to your physician
about aspirin and vitamin therapies.
If you (or a loved one) develop stroke symptoms, an emergency
evaluation at a Joint Commission-certified stroke
center, like the one at Bridgeport Hospital, can limit the
brain damage that a stroke can cause.
If you think you or someone you know may be having a stroke, it is critical to get help immediately by calling 911.
Emergency treatments offered through Bridgeport Hospital's Stroke Alert process can greatly reduce the damage
caused by a stroke. A medication called tPA may dissolve stroke-causing blood clots and lower the risk of permanent
disability. However, it is crucial to arrive at the hospital as soon as possible following the start of symptoms to
begin testing to determine if the stroke sufferer qualifies for this medication.
Q: My father's doctor has
recommended IMRT as
a treatment for prostate
cancer. What is IMRT
and how does it compare
to other treatments?
Paul Berger, MD, Chief
of Radiation Medicine
at Bridgeport Hospital,
A: Radiation therapy kills cancer cells and can shrink or
eliminate cancerous (malignant) tumors. The Norma F.
Pfriem Cancer Institute at Bridgeport Hospital offers cancer
patients a range of sophisticated radiation treatment options,
such as external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy,
which involves placing radioactive pellets (also called seeds)
in or near a tumor. Thanks to new technologies that permit
ultra-precise dose delivery, radiation therapy is becoming
increasingly more effective.
Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is among
these technologies. IMRT delivers a precise radiation dose
directly to a tumor or areas within the tumor. Targeting
exactly where the dose is delivered minimizes radiation
exposure to the surrounding normal tissue. As a result,
higher and more effective radiation doses can be safely
delivered to tumors with fewer side effects compared with
conventional radiation therapy techniques.
The accuracy of IMRT for treating prostate cancer, however,
requires that the target is defined and treated every single
day. Due to its location, the prostate can naturally shift
or move around from day to day, affecting the precision of
the treatment delivery. To handle this, Bridgeport Hospital
recently added Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)
for prostate radiation. With this system, gold seeds are
placed in the prostate before treatment begins. During
treatment, the location of the seeds is identified, and very
small targeting adjustments are made, if necessary. Once
the targeting is assured, treatment can be delivered.

Service & Community
...Imagine a community of people who know how to cooperate joyfully together, with kindness in their hearts for one another, and for all those whom their lives touch.
Imagine a community where the leadership is supportive, not bossy; where the emphasis in leadership is on serving, not on ruling.
Imagine a city where, when someone needs help, everyone freely and lovingly joins in helping him.
Imagine a city where human values are given first importance, and where the desire for joy and harmony and love are looked upon as needs every bit as practical as material considerations.
Imagine a place where self-improvement is not approached with tension or with an attitude of guilt, but joyfully, serenely, with the understanding that neither guilt nor tension ever helped a tree to grow.
Imagine a place where people's hearts are simple, without selfish motive; where the residents sincerely love truth and God, and strive to see God equally in all mankind…
Cities of Light, Swami Kriyananda
Have you ever wished to experience Ananda more completely? To enter into the heart of the community and feel its pulse? To practice the spiritual discipline of karma yoga for a longer period of time? To share this experience with people from around the world and from many cultures, united together for spiritual enlightenment?
If these are your desires, we invite you to participate to the Community Living Programs, and have an experience which will influence your life and spiritual growth for years to come.

About International Student Services
The International Student Services Office (ISS) at Lehman College assists students and scholars to secure the necessary immigration documents to apply for F or J type visas in their home country.
The ISS office serves both the international population and the Lehman College community. International students seek assistance with questions on a variety of academic, cultural, and social concerns. Faculty and staff desire information on immigration requirements in an effort to help and guide international students.
F-1/student status. The Certificate of Eligibility (I-20) will be provided to international students upon completion of all admission requirements and receipt of the required financial documents. After international students are admitted to a full-time degree program, the Affidavit of Financial Support can be downloaded for completion by the sponsor. The I-20 will be issued only after the student has documented sufficient financial resources to study and live in the U.S. For more detailed information, see the section on How to get an I-20.
Students needing an F type visa must first submit a application for admission. Contact the Admissions Office through the Lehman College web site www.lehman.edu.
J-1/Exchange status. The DS-2019 will be issued to exchange students or scholars after sufficient financial resources have been documented supporting educational and living costs in the U.S. For additional information on securing a J visa, contact the International Student Services Office directly.
