Sync API: TempIdMapping
How exactly 'TempIdMapping' works?
I know that I need to manage temporary id's to items that my application generates. And I know also that the API needs to offer a real id instead of the temporary.
But when it happens? When will I receive something from 'TempIdMapping'?
All responses
Hi Richard,
I have let the devs know about your API question and will update you when I receive a reply.
Hi Richard
It works like this:
- Your client uses temporary ids (this is the only way that your client can be offline)
- When you do a sync command to the server you pass along your temporary ids
- The server returns a map linking from temporary ids to real ids. When you receive this map you update your local model so it uses real ids
An example:
- You add an item {"type": "item_add", "temp_id": "$1326468158202", ...}
- The server will return TempIdMapping of {"$1326468158202": 232323}
You can also reference to temporary ids. I.e. instead of passing the real id to item_delete you can pass a temporary id:
{ "type": "item_delete", "timestamp": 1326470379977, "args": { "ids": ["$1326468158202"] } }
Hope this was of help to you.
Ok. Understood. But When It happens? At the response of this request?
Hi Richard
Yes, it happens at the response of the request that adds projects, tasks etc.

Hi there I've never posted here but I just want to know if any asthma sufferers on here can relate to what I am experiencing. I am 21 years old and for about 3-4 years I have experienced a prominent ticking noise that comes from my throat upon exhaling. This noise is loud, I can hear it clearly on mobile phone recordings. And it feels as if it is ticking in synch with my heart beat. I used to only experience it every now and again (maybe once a month) during physical exertion. Now I am experiencing it 5+ times a day followed by loud wheezing when it's not occurring. It's very uncomfortable and I'm going to see a doctor next week. I have some minor issues with asthma in the past but am unsure what this sound is or if related. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone can relate to this at all? Because all of my friends and family that hear it are very confused by it. It's not like a wheeze, it's like a clock inside my throat, in time with my heart. That is very loud upon exhaling. And very uncomfortable in the chest. Hmmm...

Usually when U.S. citizens argue in favor of downsizing the military budget, they are treated as anti-American by neoconservatives and other "hawks." When presidential contender Ron Paul advocates bringing the troops home and reducing federal military spending, he is called an isolationist. But what can critics say of a military general who makes such assertions?
Brigadier General John Adams, in a piece for The Hill, makes such declarations. He claims that while the federal government has increased military spending, it has not increased national security, and such spending only serves to threaten economic security and fiscal sanity:
Earlier this month, a special task force assembled by General David Petraeus released the findings from its investigation that determined approximately $360 million in U.S. tax dollars landed in the hands of those that the American military have been fighting for over a decade: Taliban, criminals, and power brokers. More recently, however, another commission determined that the figure is actually closer to $60 billion.
An independent panel, the Commission on Wartime Contracting-established by Congress in 2008- asserts that $60 billion in American tax dollars has been lost to waste and corruption in Afghanistan and Iraq within the last decade.
The Commission's 240-page report asserts that the United States is expected to have spent beyond $206 billion by the end of the 2011 budget year on its operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Of that $206 billion, it has determined that approximately 10 to 20 percent has been spent on "contracting waste" while an additional 5 to 9 percent of that total was absorbed by fraud.
Elements of Al Qaeda and other Islamic extremist groups were known to be key players in the NATO-backed uprising in Libya from the beginning, but now it appears that prominent Jihadists and terrorists are practically leading the revolution with Western support.
One terror leader in particular, Abdelhakim Belhaj, made headlines around the world over the weekend after it emerged that he was appointed the chief of Tripoli's rebel Military Council. Prior to leading rebel forces against Gaddafi's regime, Belhaj was the founder and leader of the notorious Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG).
Eventually the terror "Emir," as he has been called, was arrested and tortured as an American prisoner in the terror war. In 2004, according to reports, he was transferred to the Gaddafi regime — then a U.S. terror-war ally.
The persecution of Christians is the biggest untold story in the establishment media. Consider Iran, a nation that we fear because it may soon acquire nuclear weapons. This fear is so strong in the school of popular punditry that strategic military strikes, embargoes and a host of other fairly dramatic remedies are seriously discussed. But is not our true fear of Iran that it is a nation which is intolerant, warlike and barbaric?
We have lived for more than fifty years with Britain and France, which each has the power to destroy most major American cities on any given day. The Soviet Union and its offspring, the thuggish Russian nation, each have a vast nuclear arsenal, as does China, which bears us no goodwill. Israel, India, Pakistan, South Africa and probably a few other nations have nuclear capacity or could acquire it quickly. Our former Axis enemies — Germany, Japan and Italy — could all go nuclear fairly quickly, if they wished. What is it about Iran that makes us sweat?
Punch and Judy Show continues — this time in South Africa.
While the truth about what is going on in Libya remains concealed behind aweb of lies from both sides, Gaddafi's forces are still fighting as analysts discuss the future of the nation following "regime change." Based on available information, it doesn't look bright. Talk of protracted civil war, genocide, violent retaliation, plundering and deepening chaos is well underway as the bodies of Libyans continue to pile up. Thousands of civilians have already died — some killed by NATO air strikes and Western-backed rebels, others by the Gaddafi regime and its supporters.
And analysts expect the bloodshed and violence to continue for the foreseeable future. A spokesman for the regime said earlier this week that Gaddafi's forces were able to fight on "for years." Contingency measures and "alternative plans" have been made, he explained, to ensure that the battle for Tripoli will rage on indefinitely.
Media coverage of the NATO war in Libya has been marked by so much disinformation, lies and deception that it is becoming hard to tell fact from fiction, with both sides engaging in what is termed "psychological operations" to confuse and demoralize their opponents.
Blatant examples of the strategy occurred in recent days as President Obama claimed the Libyan regime was finished even as Gaddafi and his sons vowed to continue fighting "for years" if necessary. Wildly conflicting accounts — often from reporters on the scene — make it almost impossible to tell what has really been going on in Tripoli this week.
"The Gadhafi regime is coming to an end, and the future of Libya is in the hands of its people," Obama claimed in a televised speech on August 22. Two days later, the embattled Libyan ruler made a public statement vowing to fight and urging residents of the capital to "free Tripoli" from the "devils and traitors."
In an effort to top the success of last year's Restoring Honor rally, and to garner public support for Israel, conservative pundit Glenn Beck has launched his week of Restoring Courage events, which are taking place in Israel. When Beck announced this event earlier in the year, he said, "God is involved in man's affairs, but so is the force of darkness. I believe I've been asked to stand in Jerusalem. Many in the history of man have had the opportunity to stand with the Jewish people … and they have failed." For Beck, failure in this area is not an option. He asked his listeners to "stand with me, in Jerusalem" this summer.
And they did. While Restoring Courage could not garner the 500,000 attendees present at last year's Restoring Honor rally, given this year's location in Israel, it still boasts a significant attendance and sold-out events.
The week of events began at the Caesarea Amphitheater in Israel, where Beck opened his remarks to a crowd of over 3,000 people with, "Welcome to the land of milk and honey!"
As protests and unrest continue to spread across Syria, Western pressure including sanctions and even open talk of military intervention is mounting against the regime of "President" Bashar Al-Assad.
Numerous sources report that NATO is already plotting an invasion as foreign powers covertly arm Syrian rebels. And some analysts believe military intervention against Damascus would merely serve as a prelude to an attack on Iran.
Mass demonstrations in Syria, sometimes violent, began in mid-March. Since then, human rights groups and various governments claim thousands of civilians have been killed by security forces trying to put down the unrest.
The European Union and the U.S. government already imposed economic sanctions on the Assad dictatorship. More might be on the way as EU officials consider joining the American embargo on Syrian oil imports.
Although the Obama administration has made much of the fact that U.S. forces are scheduled to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014, it clearly has no intention of leaving that war-ravaged country to its own devices. In fact, plans are afoot to keep as many as 25,000 American troops in Afghanistan for at least a decade longer than the official deadline, according to the Daily Telegraph.
"America and Afghanistan are close to signing a strategic pact which would allow thousands of United States troops to remain in the country until at least 2024," the London newspaper reports. "The agreement would allow not only military trainers to stay to build up the Afghan army and police, but also American special forces soldiers and air power to remain." Both sides hope to seal the deal by December.
Some observers have commented that, in short, the American empire is not about to relinquish control over one of its satrapies. As former Indian diplomat M.K. Bhadrakumar observed, "The 'hidden agenda' of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan can no longer be disowned. Quite obviously, the U.S. intends to plunge into the 'great game' in Central Asia."

Roskomnadzor said in a statement published online Monday that it had been ordered by the general prosecutor's office to shut down the pages on Russia's leading social media website, VKontakte. The agency said the groups "propagandized the activity of Ukrainian nationalist groups," and accused them of encouraging "terrorist activity" and "participation in unsanctioned mass actions."
The largest pro-demonstration group, which has more than 500,000 members, was not accessible to users on Russian territory on Monday.
While much of Russian media is state-controlled, the Internet has so far remained largely free from censorship and has provided an active forum for anti-government criticism.

Shri Guru Ravidass Janam Asthan
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (April 2012)
Shri Guru Ravidass Janam Asthan Mandir, Seer Goverdhanpur, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India is called the "Begumpura" and is the ultimate place of pilgrimage or religious headquarters for followers of the Ravidasi religion. It has become a cherished dream of devotees of Guru Ravidass from the world over to pay their obeisance at Shri Guru Ravidass Janam Asthan Mandir at Seer Goverdhanpur Varanasi at least once in their life. The foundation stone of this Mandir was laid on Monday the 14 June 1965 on Ashad Sankranti day by Sant Hari Dass, along with a large number of devotees of Dera Ballan, specially deputed by Sant Sarwan Dass for the purpose. Devotees traced the birthplace of Guru Ravidass and temple was built. It is believed that Guru Ravidass used to live and do bhakti at this place. The construction of the temple was completed in 1994. Babu Kanshi Ram, the BSP supremo, performed the ceremonial installation of the golden dome atop the temple. K. R. Narayanan, the then-President of India, performed the opening ceremony of the huge monumental entry gate to the temple, on July 16, 1998.
It is the birthplace of Guru Ravidass. It was this city where two great saints of Bhakti Movement i.e. Satguru Kabir and Satguru Ravidass were born. The Janam Asthan Mandir of Guru Ji at Seer Goverdhanpur, Varanasi has now acquired the status of Begumpura (serenity) for Guru Ji's followers and has become an Ultimate Place of Pilgrimage for them. Every year during birth anniversary of Guru Ravidass, the Mandir attracts millions of devotees from India and abroad.

Ah, to be retro again!
It's safe to say I'm a Nintendo addict . I know almost every franchise inside and out. I've played countless Mario titles religiously, from the portrait-hopping Super Mario 64 to the clock-racing Super Mario 3D World. I train Pokemon like I was born to do it, and I know precisely when to barrel roll in Star Fox (without Peppy's help). I take all the shortcuts in Mario Kart and I've completed nearly every side-quest in Xenoblade Chronicles (thanks to my "OCD"). But my earliest and fondest Nintendo memories derived from the side-scrolling days of Rare, specifically the Donkey Kong Country series for the SNES.
I recently purchased the original Donkey Kong Country on my Wii U's virtual console in the hopes of channeling my inner retro child, and it occurred to me all over again just how fun yet crazy challenging video games managed to be back in the day. I was reminded that Donkey Kong was a huge part of my 90's childhood, as well as my siblings'. Sure, I wasn't exactly good at the game per se, as I was only about 5 or 6 at the time and I struggled miserably to defeat even the most generic of Kremling enemies. But it was still an unforgettable experience because it was one the very first video games I was exposed to. Naturally, I didn't hesitate to snag this title off the Eshop a few days ago.
Returning to Donkey Kong Island after over a decade, I'm starting to remember just why this game engrossed so much of my attention as a wee little lad. The gameplay is challenging and varied, the music is catchy and captures each level's environment perfectly, and the overall presentation is so comfortably straightforward... until you reach Temple Tempest at least. I'm not even kidding. Everything seems to go up a notch when you're swinging from one dangling rope to another, trying not be crushed by the gargantuan millstone chasing after you. Anyway, after that point, the pressure just keeps piling on. The levels become increasingly harder, but this enables me to bide my time and make every move count in a way I was too dumb to recognize as a kid. I no longer jump from one ledge to another without first calculating where a Kritter or a Zinger might pop up next, and I make some serious mental effort to memorize the patterned movements of the floating barrels needed to bypass the pit of death below. Oh, and these barrels are spinning too, all the while moving throughout the air as fast as Speedy Gonzolas. Eek! I'm sweating now just realizing it's going to get even trickier when I play again tomorrow
As of a few hours ago, I'm almost to the final set of levels. I hope to face off against King K. Rool tomorrow evening after I get home from work. I haven't even beaten the game yet and I'm already planning to download the next two DKC games. I didn't get to play any of the sequels as a kid so it should be a blast! Heck, this is actually going to be wild of couples months for me as far as gaming is concerned! More titles are coming to the virtual console this month (N64 and DS), and I'll have time to play all my favorites now that I've finally beaten Xenoblade Chronicles and Pokemon: Alpha Saphire. On top of that, DLC for Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros will be available this month. I can't believe I'll finally be playing as Mewtwo this time next week! Agh! The anticipation is too much! I'm sweating again!
But on the topic of DLC...
Super Smash Bros DLC
But... in all seriousness, I feel like Donkey Kong as a franchise has been blatantly maltreated throughout the Super Smash Bros. series and I didn't really care to notice this until I went back to play the original Donkey Kong Country again. But there is a potential solution to this problem. As of last week's Nintendo Direct, there is a ballot being held for fans to decide who the next DLC character will be in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U. I've already voted for King K. Rool. As I mentioned, Donkey Kong deserves more character representation in Smash and adding DK's arch nemesis to the roster would more than make up for this. There's so much moveset potential for the Kremling King, not to mention countless alternate costume possibilities. More pressingly, there simply aren't enough of villains or heavyweight fighters on the roster. King K. Rool fits both those qualifications perfectly and would provide some much-welcomed variety to the current character lineup.
If you haven't already voted for anyone, please show your support for the Kremling King!
You can cast your vote here: cp.nintendo.co.jp/us/ It's a very simple process. K. Rool's high in the polls right now, which is a good sign.

The symposium took place on 22-23 January 2015 in Tokyo, Japan, and addressed cutting-edge policy issues and research ideas to promote long-term financial planning through financial education.
This seminar addressed cutting-edge policy issues and research ideas to promote financial inclusion and financial literacy in Asia, notably: national strategies for financial education; financial education and consumer protection; measuring financial literacy; and, financial literacy for micro-entrepreneurs and SMEs.
Discussions at this OECD-GFLEC event addressed the status of financial literacy around the world, the impact of the institutional framework, innovative ideas and how to translate research into policy and practice.
English, PDF, 714kb
As requested by G20 leaders, this progress report on financial education provides updates on work by the OECD and its International Network on Financial Education (INFE) since the G20 summit in St Petersburg in 2013. The report was circulated to G20 Ministers of Finance and Central Banks Governors at their meeting in Cairns on 20-21 September 2014.
Financial education has become an important complement to market conduct and prudential regulation and improving individual financial behaviours a long-term policy priority in many countries. The OECD and its International Network on Financial Education conducts research and develops tools to support policy makers and public authorities to design and implement national strategies for financial education.
The OECD works on advancing consumer finance protection through informed choice that includes disclosure, transparency and education; protection from fraud, abuse and errors; and, recourse and advocacy.
The Task Force supports the implementation of the G20 High-level Principles on Financial Consumer Protection, specifically to arm policy makers and financial authorities with a body of knowledge, including comparative analyses of approaches adopted by a cross-section of economies, to inform their efforts to implement the Principles in their economies.
The results of the first international assessment of 15-year-old students' financial literacy competencies were presented in Paris on 9 July 2014.
The first OECD PISA international assessment of financial literacy examined 15-year-old students' performance in financial literacy in the 18 countries and economies that participated in this optional assessment.
The OECD and its International Network on Financial Education (INFE) is developing guidelines intended to address the involvement of private and not-for profit stakeholders in the development and implementation of national strategies for financial education.

Apple's iPhone 5S To Come In Different Colors?
From cases to stickers, cell owners already customize their phones to match their personalities, but Apple may be looking to make that process a little easier.
A new Apple job listing suggests that the company might make their next-generation iPhone available in different colors.
Apple is currently seeking an Anodizing Engineer, whose tasks would include defining "world-class anodizing processes that achieve the cosmetic and functional requirements of a part." Translation: That person could be responsible for bringing more than just shades of grey to the iPhone 5S, the back panel of which would likely get the color treatment.
Samsung Disses Apple's iPhone 5 In New Ad
So far, only black and white iPhone models have been available, although the iPod Touch and Nano do come in rainbow colors.

Google Buzz was the big tech news of the week so Kevin, James, and I kicked off MobileTechRoundup show #197 giving our thoughts and experiences with the new service. Kevin also talked about the Swype text input system on Android that is launching on the myTouch 3G. James received news that Skyfire bought the Steel browser for Android so we may soon see Skyfire moving from Windows Mobile and S60 to Android. Quickoffice also added a few web services for document support and Kevin was pretty pleased to hear this. I am very interested in seeing how well Quickoffice and Documents To Go look on the iPad in comparison to the iWork apps. Virtualization on the iPad was also discussed and may be swaying iPad purchase decisions.
Microsoft said late Monday that a text message problem with certain Windows Mobile phones appears to be limited to a small percentage of devices.
Microsoft is investigating reports of a glitch causing some Windows Mobile devices to attach the wrong date to incoming SMS messages.
Here are today's notable headlines. You can get News To Know via email alert and RSS daily.
I sync my PIM data (Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Email) with my work Exchange account, but have to manually manage my other data. Microsoft launched a new service with the Windows Mobile 6.5 update that is available for an Windows Mobile 6.0, 6.1, or 6.5 device. My Phone lets you synchronize your contacts, appointments, text messages, photos, videos, songs, favorites, and documents between your phone and their servers. If you use Exchange, then that specific data will not be backed up with this service. Most of the services are free, but there are some premium features available as well.
Back on the crusty Windows XP and my favourite part is using Notepad++, my most favourite text editor on Windows, ever, official. It rocks.
Back in March of this year we heard about the Zer01 service that was going to use Windows Mobile devices and VoIP technology that gave you unlimited data, voice, and text for only $70 per month. This would also be provided with no contract and on a month-to-month basis. The Zer01 website is up and running, but I highly recommend you read through IDG News article before making a decision to leave your traditional US wireless carrier. There seems to be something a bit fishy with the service and I am personally not sold yet on its validity.
Every time the subject of OS licensing comes up, Apple's defenders point to the OS X Family Pack as one of the biggest differentiators between their favorite OS and Windows. But it looks like that difference is likely to go away when Windows 7 is released. I've got the text of a near-final license agreement for Windows 7 Home Premium as proof.
Quick! If you had to come up with an image and a bit of text to sell Windows 7 to IT professionals and the tech media, what feature would you choose to highlight?
At the CTIA Wireless 2009 Conference in Las Vegas, Microsoft representative Jim Wilson demonstrates some of the new features of Windows Live Messenger in Windows Mobile 6.5. These features include real-time text, audio, and video conversation.
The T-Mobile Dash remains one of my favorite smartphones of all time and after I get home from CTIA I am going with my wife to pick up a new all black one for her for $50 at T-Mobile since she broke another one. She LOVES it and won't go to another device, even after several of my failed attempts. That may change though if she saw what I get to see this week here at CTIA. HTC announced the Snap Windows Mobile non-touchsreen device that is the true successor to the T-Mobile Dash/HTC Excalibur. One key feature of the Snap's new QWERTY keyboard is the offset arrangement of the keys since QWERTY thumb keyboards really should not have their keys all lined up as most of them are, but offset to make text entry more accurate.
The HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro were very popular devices in 2008 and to continue with these lines, HTC announced the Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2 at Mobile World Congress. These two Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional devices come with more HTC customization that improves the Windows Mobile experience. HTC has added functionality that allows all voice, text, and email communications from a specific contact to be sorted and viewed at the touch of a finger. The information is available inside the contact card and during a call. The specifications of the HTC Touch Diamond2 and HTC Touch Pro2 are both improved over their first generation models, particularly in regards to screen resolution.
A couple of functions I enjoy on my Apple iPhone is interacting with my friends on social networks and via instant messaging. I have been using several different applications for these interactions and with the inability of the iPhone to multi-task using 3rd party applications this is not a great experience. Over the past week, I have been using the new Pinger Phone application that brings in my Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace social network friends and Yahoo!, AIM, Windows Live, and Google Talk IM contacts for a full and complete solution in a single package. There is also a server back end so that text messages can be used to notify you of new IM replies when Pinger Phone is not running.

MTV Spring Break 2010 kicks off March 22nd with sun-drenched programming and musical performances from B.o.B, Ludacris, Young Money Crew, Pitbull and Trey Songz who will be infiltrating screens on MTV, MTV2, mtvU and MTV.com. La fiesta will feature the hottest artists, the hottest MTV stars from another sandy shore, and even some hot competitions with a special Spring Break edition of The Real World / Road Rules Challenge and the second mtvU Spring Break USA Rock, Paper, Scissors ChAMPionships. That's right, hot, hot, and HOT. (It is Mexico, after all...)
Spring break? MTV may not have invented it, but we sure have done a lot to perfect it. When it comes to letting loose and hitting the sand, nobody does it better. This year is no different. As usual, we're celebrating with the undergrads in classic spring break fashion, with live music and shows that will literally bring the heat to the beach. But, maybe you can't get away this year -- the economy is in the crapper, after all. Don't worry, MTV is gonna bring the party to you!
Spring Break 2008 took you to Sunny Isles Beach, Fla., for the hottest, most decadent party this side of the equator. Hosts Tila Tequila and Ryan Stout crowned the king and queen of spring break and former Miss USA Tara Conner decides who is more than just a pretty face on the spring break beaches. With performances by Lupe Fiasco, Flo Rida, Paramore, Kid Sister, Panic at the Disco, Cobra Starship, We The Kings, the biggest party of 2008 is all about celebrating beauty and brains!
Spring Break 2007 took you inside all of the hot spots with special, on-site editions of all your favorite shows, from Parental Control and Exposed to Made and Super Sweet 16. With performances by Akon, Fergie and The Academy Is... we lit up the stage like never before. Plus we turned the hip-hop heat up on Sucker Free and Wild N' Out by bringing them down to Cancun and putting them right on the front lines.
In 2006, MTV traveled where no Spring Break had ever gone before -- off-stage and straight to the clubs, streets and beaches around the country to find the real action. Nick Cannon and Stephen Colleti let you in on all of their Spring Break secrets, and Viva La Bam caused chaos Miami-style.
MTV's Spring Break 2005 took the party back to Cancun and brought you a sizzling lineup of wild shows, hot performances and a roster of stars like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and 50 Cent, making all your wildest dreams come true.

For months the Washington Redskins tried every approach possible to figure out the new-look Philadelphia Eagles.
They watched game tape of first-year coach Chip Kelly's offense at the University of Oregon. They tried to practice at a fast pace during training camp and in the week leading up to the season-opener at FedEx Field on Monday night.
And yet much of that work went up in smoke in a sloppy, disheartening 33-27 loss to the Eagles, who dictated the tempo at a lightning pace for the first 31 minutes of play and held on late for a closer-than-it-looked victory.
SEE ALSO: FENNO: RG3 returns to Redskins, but has a long way to go
Philadelphia ran 53 plays alone in the first half. It ran 19 plays to Washington's one through the game's first 5:53. The Eagles outgained the Redskins 146 yards to three during that initial burst.
A DeAngelo Hall 75-yard fumble return early in the first quarter short-circuited an initial Philadelphia drive that reached the 4-yard line. But it proved a false omen. The Eagles were just getting started.
"We knew it was going to be a fast-paced offense," Washington linebacker London Fletcher said. "It just took us so long to get settled down. We were on the field so long in the first half, but defensively you've still got to settle down and try to help the offense out."
By the end of the first quarter they had kicked a field goal, wide receiver DeSean Jackson caught a 25-yard touchdown pass to start a monster game and Redskins running back Alfred Morris dropped a pitch from quarterback Robert Griffin III in his own end zone for a safety. It was 12-7 after an arduous 54-minute first quarter and felt far worse.
By halftime the Eagles had 21 first downs and 322 yards of total offense. Tight end Brent Celek caught a 28-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Michael Vick in the second quarter. Vick added a short touchdown run of his own with 1:02 left in the half to make it 26-7. In the third quarter Philadelphia needed just two plays for McCoy to make it 33-7 on a spirited 34-yard run.
"It wasn't one thing," said Hall, one of several defensive backs victimized on the touchdown pass to Jackson in the first quarter. "When you're wrong, you're wrong. That offense is definitely going to be force to be reckoned with in this league. We're going to have to go to the drawing board."
By night's end, McCoy had 184 rushing yards on 31 attempts. Jackson caught seven passes for 104 receiving yards. Vick, shaky early, finished 15-for-25 passing for 203 yards, two passing touchdowns and that rushing score.
Griffin never found a rhythm early in his first game action since tearing the anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments in his right knee during a playoff loss to Seattle last Jan. 6. His eight-month rehab process went smoothly with no obvious setbacks.
The problem? Griffin wasn't ready to play in a preseason game and the rust showed with sloppy passes, rough footwork and limited help from his offensive line or receivers.
"I think everybody just took their turn messing the play up," center Will Montgomery said. "Whether it was the line, the backs, receivers. We've just got to clean it up."
Morris fumbled once and also botched that pitch in the end zone for the safety, though the fumble was charged to Griffin. Morris fumbled four times all of last season. Griffin, meanwhile, was intercepted five times total in 2012. On Monday the Eagles got him twice.
"It's part of the game. It's not Robert's fault," wide receiver Pierre Garcon said. "He's out there helping us, he's doing the best he can. We just got to make plays for him."

1. Will there be a balloon drop and confetti storm at midnight?
Answer – Yes, but only at some other random <insert whatever name you like> ballroom party, not at The Drop. There isn't a ballroom big enough to house what you will be witnessing this New Year's Eve! We're much cooler than that; we're shutting down streets and setting up shop on top of a building.
2. Will there be food?
Answer – Yes, there will be something for everyone! In addition to the usual Campus Martius concessions like hot cocoa and s'mores, There will be numerous locations to purchase food from restaurants, food trucks and vendors.red, friend!
3. Will there be beverages?
Answer – Yes, whether its coffee, water, or pop, or you want to loosen up with something alcoholic, we have you covered. Multiple vendors throughout the event space can take care of your non-alcoholic needs, and six bars and a heated tent to ensure that our 21+ revelers won't be without their favorite libations. There is a large heated tent with a stage and bar service. Tent is free and family friendly until 7pm. After 7pm entry is 21+ w/ $5 Cover.
4. Will there be bathrooms?
Answer – Yes, when nature calls, Motor City NYE answers! Portable bathrooms will be available on-site all evening long.
5. I was at the event last year and it was a blast. Will it be the same this year?
Answer – Simply put, no. Our goal is to make this year's event bigger and better. The event has expanded to allow for more revelers and the entire Drop has been re-engineered once again, this year taking place in Cadillac Square closer to the public. Due to this increased footprint, as well as added supporting elements, we are again shutting down the streets and securing more area to accommodate the growth. Additionally, we are having three stages of live entertainment with multiple acts. follow this link to our entertainment schedule http://motorcitynye.com/entertainment.php
6. Is this event open to the public?
Answer – This event is for everyone. We welcome anyone who would like to come down and celebrate with us. There is no charge for entry to any area affiliated with the Drop. Motor City New Year's Eve is proud to dedicate the event to Detroit and all its surrounding communities.
7. Will there be parking available?
Answer - Yes, Downtown handles parking for huge events like the Jazz Fest or Lions games without any problems. You'll find many parking garages and surface lots within easy walking distance of the party. Also, don't forget that, if you've had a few too many of the libations mentioned above, you can use Uber promo code "MotorCityNYE" for $25 off a ride during the event, if it's your first ride with Uber.
8. This is your fifth year and you're expanding again? How can this be happening?
Answer – That is an excellent question. New Year's Eve 2011 was our inaugural event and we were surprised by how quickly the community adopted us, with almost 5,000 people showing up to witness the Drop at midnight.
While it was a humble beginning, it was also the beginning of new tradition. For our second year in 2012, we attracted nearly 10,000 people to witness history in the making again. in 2013, approximately 12,000 people surrounded Campus Martius to help us ring in the New Year, and last year we have over 20,000 people!
9. Your FAQ's are kind of weird. Are you being serious?
Answer – Yes. We love to have fun here at "The Drop" but at the end of the day we're not only serious but extremely proud of our city and of this tradition.
For us, good enough is not good enough. We strive for excellence. We strive to put on a great celebration to show the world our proud Detroit spirit! At the end of the day, all of this is for you. Viva Detroit!

Reno's elected officials have been very verbal about two county "islands" that they claim cost Reno Fire money to cover, part of Caughlin Ranch and Hidden Valley.
What about those areas of Reno that the county covers?
The Reno-annexed part of Verdi, with Cabela's, Boomtown and Gold Ranch, is covered by Sierra Fire Protection District because the nearest station is closed and the next nearest station is too far away. Sierra also provides paramedics, which Reno does not. Sixty percent of Sierra's calls from this station service Reno taxpayers, without compensation.
The entire North Valleys does not have a single open Reno station. Station 9 in Stead has been closed for several years; Station 10 near Panther Valley is only open 11 days a year. And there is no Reno station north and west of Stead. So Reno's annexed areas are protected by County 18 in Cold Springs and County 13 in Silverlake for free. Ninety-five percent of County 13's calls go into Reno.
County 13 runs more calls into Reno than Reno runs into Hidden Valley and Caughlin Ranch combined.
Reno now claims it will open some closed stations, but with what money? It's all about money, folks.

Sen. Joe Negron heading state talks on the Affordable Care Act
Sen. Joe Negron will head a group of Florida senators this legislative session tasked with proposing methods for the state to implement President Obama's health care law.
As chairman of the Select Committee on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Negron started parsing through the provisions of the expansive law Monday when the Legislature had its first set of committee meetings in Tallahassee. Its 60-day legislative session officially starts in March.
Negron, R-Stuart, said the federal law known for requiring citizens to have health insurance by 2014 leaves some decisions for Florida officials.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which favored most of the law, made Medicaid expansion optional for states. Florida has to decide if it will let more patients become eligible for the low-income program. Expanding the program could make patients eligible for coverage up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, Senate documents show. With the proposal, an individual making less than $15,415 or a family of four earning less than $31,809 in 2012 would become eligible, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit health policy group.
The Medicaid expansion wouldn't cost Florida additional money from 2014 to 2016, but the federal government's tab would increase by $3.2 billion those years. The expansion would make 845,000 more Floridians eligible for Medicaid over that time period. The program would start costing Florida extra in 2017-18, when the state would pay another $176 million, Senate documents show.
Florida has 3.3 million Medicaid patients, including about 50,800 people eligible in St. Lucie, 19,500 in Indian River and 15,200 in Martin.
Officials also need to decide if Florida will run its own exchange — an online marketplace for the uninsured to shop for subsidized coverage — or if it will seek full or partial help from the federal government. If Florida wants to run its own exchange, it has less than two weeks to submit its blueprints. The exchanges have to be up and running by October 2013.
"My main concern is what's best for Floridians who need health coverage, and for their fellow citizens who have to pay not only for their own health care, but to fund Medicaid as well," Negron said.
The Republican Legislature has starkly opposed Obama's law. Florida lawmakers approved a constitutional amendment in 2011 that attempted to block mandatory health insurance. Negron and 28 other senators favored the bill, putting it on this year's ballot, but voters statewide opted against the amendment — a largely symbolic proposal after the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling.
Some Republicans have changed their tone since Election Day. Gov. Rick Scott, who had been outspoken against the federal act, said he's interested in having a "conversation" about setting up Obamacare.
Sen. Denise Grimsley, a newly elected Sebring Republican who was the House's top budget lawmaker last year, will join Negron on the Senate committee. Grimsley's district includes parts of western St. Lucie and Martin counties.
Rep. MaryLynn Magar, a Tequesta Republican who won the District 82 seat in Martin and Palm Beach, will be on the House's federal health care committee.

GLEN ALLEN, Va., Jan. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Star Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ: CIGX) - A study released in the January 9th issue of the Journal of Neurology suggests that nicotine patches may help individuals with early memory loss. Dr. Paul Newhouse, a professor of psychiatry at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, led a study which showed that six months of nicotine patch treatment among patients who had mild cognitive impairment – often a precursor to Alzheimer's disease - had a 46% improvement in their long-term memory for their age. The patient group who received a patch without nicotine showed a 26% decline in memory. Both patient groups were treated for six months.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090317/STARSCIENTIFICLOGO )
Nicotine is only one of a family of related compounds known as alkaloids. Anatabine, another compound in the same family, has been actively pursued by Star Scientific for a variety of uses, including as a supporter for memory loss. Star Scientific subsidiary Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals also has a number of patents pending that relate to the administration of anatabine for treatment of a variety of neurological conditions, among other things.
Researchers at the Roskamp Institute in Sarasota, Florida, have shown that an anatabine compound supplied by Rock Creek has beneficial effects on memory and learning in animal models of Alzheimer's Disease. Michael Mullan, MD, Ph.D., CEO of the Roskamp Institute and his colleague, Dr. Daniel Paris, published these findings in October, 2011 in the European Journal of Pharmacology. Dr. Mullan has commented, "Anatabine may have several advantages over nicotine in the support of memory with aging. For instance, anatabine seems to have a longer half-life in the blood, w

"Carbon bikes are stiffer" is a total oversimplification of the process. It's all about how the carbon cloth is laid out, the directions the fabric is laid, the type of CF cloth being used, and a number of other factors. Because carbon layup and manufacturing has improved so much over the last 10 years, there are endless variations in carbon frame design. A quick google search on carbon fiber cloth or materials will show that there are many, many different types out there.
There are 2.1 pound ultralight road frames at one end of the scale, and carbon DH bikes with 10" of travel at the other. It's about the design and layout, not the material.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Across cultures and national boundaries, sight is valued as the most important of the five senses. Yet, new research reveals that across the world, nearly half (44%) share the misguided belief that seeing well translates to good eye health. This and other findings confirm a large global gap between vision care attitudes and behavior which may be preventing people from seeking proper treatment and diagnosis for them and their children.
Gaps in vision care attitudes and behavior are a recurrent theme throughout Global Attitudes and Perceptions About Vision Care, a new survey conducted on behalf of The Vision Care Institute(TM), LLC, a Johnson & Johnson company. More than 6,500 adults from Australia, Brazil, China, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and the United States were surveyed to better understand the incidence, practice and perception of eye exams for adults and children around the world.
Globally, survey respondents demonstrate a strong belief that good vision positively impacts quality of life. Eight-in-ten respondents (79%) believe that improving their vision will impact their enjoyment of life, helping them perform better in hobbies (73%), school/career (71%), and sports (65%). More than seven-in-ten respondents (72%) say that improving their vision will also help them feel better about themselves and give them more confidence.
Parents/caregivers around the world strongly believe that improving their children's vision would have comparatively more of an impact on their children's lives than their own.
Despite these reported beliefs, however, only half (54%) of survey participants have ever had a comprehensive eye exam -- an examination conducted in an office by an eye care professional that checks not just for

All breaks for all arrivals
We enjoyed our holiday. The location was beautiful but rather cut off (an 18 mile drive before being able to access any amenity or visitor attraction) and there is little to do on the site. The caravan was good for our needs but a little shabby. When we arrived it smelled strongly of stale cigarette smoke, which took most of the week to clear. The mattresses were lumpy and uncomfortable. Our children thought it was great though, and if the site had even a small play ground it would have made it heaven for them.
Clean and tidy, beautiful scenery, very quiet, midges a bit of a nuisance. Really liked it. Would go again.
The road to the park was surreal, I thought we were never going to get there, the park it self was nice and also the manager Sean was very helpful,but alas the weather was against us rain, rain and more rain, although we were looking for something quiet for ourselves and dog, this was just one step to far, sorry
stayed here in august in one of the caravans, on arrival we where greeted by Sean , the park manager, who was very nice and helpful. The site it's self could do with some improvements, for example pot holes filled around the site, the caravan needs a little updating and proper gravel to park the car on, so you don't walk mud all through the accommodation. The area is beautiful, with lots of walks in the area. This park is very rural, the nearest town is Selkirk which is about 50 minutes drive.
Very remote and involved a lot of travelling to go anywhere, roughly 30miles to the nearest town with supermarket. Lovely surroundings for the drive but just too remote for us, especially with a toddler and no play facilities on site.
Fab relaxing time. Nothing to spend money on was great. Kids & dog loved the walks. Recommend it :-) only one point I made to site owners was in our cabin double bed only needed new mattress but it didn't spoil. We coped :-) thank u & defo going back
We had a great time.
We had a great time at Angecroft Park. Within easy reach of some truly wonderful countryside. Helpful and friendly staff. We arrived home feeling relaxed after our week away.
The most beautiful area, and the most friendly place, the whole family loved it so much. Nothing is too much trouble for the on site wardens, Sean and Linda... We can't wait to go back.
A nice quiet place to get away from the normal hustle and bustle that you get from the larger camp sites. Went out of there way to make you feel welcome and couldn't do enough to make you feel at ease. No problem too big or too small. Nice touch with the hospitality pack. Would go back again .
Lovely quiet place to relax. Not a lot nearby for small children or on an evening. Ideal place for hikers, cyclists, runners or just to get away from it all. 18 mile ride to nearest town for supplies.
Great holiday lovely location and total peace and quiet loads of wildlife staff very helpful and friendly our first time here and will defo be back
Best holiday we have ever had. Great area for getting away from the rat race with amazing walks especially if you have a dog and if you want beautiful scenery. Sean and Lynn were brilliant, very friendly and helpful. We will be booking again for next year.
Great holiday park. Quiet location. Staff made you very welcome.

Re: Hotel Reservations Needed in Sept?
It really depends where you want to stay. Popular and upmarket small hotels may well be booked but you shouldn't have any trouble finding somewhere to stay in any of the places you mention in September as long as you're prepared to be flexible and don't have your heart set on a particular establishment. As\well as hotels of all sizes, there are oodles of small apartments and rooms in private houses in towns and villages up and down the Croatian coast, and every town has an accommodation office you can go to to find them. The ones they list are registered with prices and standards set by the government tourist offices. There are also any number of unlicenced places, the owners of which often meet the buses and ferries offering rooms to disembarking passengers, and you will see signs for Sobe/zimmer/rooms everywhere.

It worked. As soon as the yeast got a taste of the vodka, the probe registered an electrical signal. A drunken hiccup perhaps? "It was probably the last gasp of the dying cell," says Professor Geim. The researchers had added so much ethanol that it poisoned the cell.
Although not the cardiogram they had hoped for, the electrical signal was the smallest yet detected from a living cell, around 100 times smaller than anything previously detected. It added up to an electrical current of just 10 moving electrons. It has given the team confidence that equipment sensitive enough to measure a cell's heartbeat can be developed.
"We already have some ideas about how to improve the sensitivity of the detector in water and next time we will also use a more active micro-organism such as an amoeba. Yeast is a subdued organism and doesn't generate much activity," says Professor Geim. "Probably, the most important outcome is that we defined an important goal. Cellular cardiograms can no longer be seen as absurd or science-fictional. If not us then someone else will soon develop a technique sensitive enough for such studies."

Samsung Pen Bluetooth Headset Acts Like A Second Phone But Smaller
In our opinion, Bluetooth headsets are over rated. They're easy to lose and God knows you look like a total deuce when you constantly have one jammed in our ear.
Samsung's Slim Stick Type Bluetooth Headset, the HM5000, isn't actually a headset, but a mini-phone of sorts. Instead of a device jammed in your ear, this gadget sits in your pocket awaiting a call. When one arrives it can emit an audio alert or vibrate, where upon you may answer the call like a handset. The advantages clearly aren't a handsfree experience, so you can rule this one out for the car. The upside is a slim, slender and light weight device that you can stick in your shirt's front pocket or clip it to your collar. If you're in a loud bar, or room, the HM5000 will automatically adjust the volume. It seems to be devoid of a display to show the incoming caller's name, so we can only hope that it announces callers by name. It will pair with up two device simultaneously.
No word on a release date or price.

By David Thomas on September 27, 2012
Porsche just unveiled a new concept car, the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo, at the Paris Motor Show. It is essentially a Porsche Panamera with a redesigned back end that offers more cargo space, or as most people would call it, a station wagon.
Porsche isn't going to call it that, of course, but why shouldn't there be a Porsche wagon?
No one thought Porsche should build a Cayenne SUV or a four-door like the Panamera, but they both sold well.
Why would a wagon be a hit? It might not be.
It doesn't have the 911 styling around the back like the Panamera. It's the same length as the Panamera, but there's no word on how much cargo room is gained from the new body style.
Whether the Sport Turismo becomes reality or not, the plug-in hybrid powertrain its sporting likely will. It features a new electric motor based on the one that powers the current Panamera hybrid, but the concept's electric motor is twice as powerful. There is also a lithium-ion battery instead of the current nickel-metal-hydride one. And then there's the plug-in system.
Porsche estimates it can cover 18 miles on electric power alone on a full charge at speeds up to 80 mph.
We'd guess that the Sport Turismo would be available in non-hybrid models, too.
There are also plenty of "concept car" touches inside and out, including futuristic displays and cameras where mirrors should be.
Even if a production wagon makes up just a small fraction of Panamera sales, we need the Sport Turismo to be the halo car for moms and dads who don't aspire to a Cayenne. Check out the pictures below to see if you agree.
