U.S. sources believe that al Qaeda's alleged master weapons expert and bomb maker was killed in last week's U.S. missile attack in eastern Pakistan, CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports.
Fifty-two year old Egyptian chemist Midhat Mursi, also known as Abu Khabab al-Masri, was reportedly identified by Pakistani authorities Wednesday. He is known for his chemical weapon expertise, strange alias and red beard.
Al Qaeda is "wedded to the spectacular," noted FBI counterterrorism analyst Donald Van Duyn in an Associated Press report last month, and Mursi was said to be exploring such possibilities when last seen, brewing up deadly compounds and gassing dogs in Afghanistan.
The FBI and other U.S. agencies posted a $5 million reward this year for Mursi's capture. Egypt's government reportedly seized and locked up his two sons in an effort to track down the father.
The U.S. reward poster says the alleged bomb maker, also known as Abu Khabab, may be in Pakistan. But "we don't think there's really a good fix on where he is," Van Duyn said.
"Nobody knows," said Mohamed Salah, a Cairo expert on Islamic extremists. "He could be in any country, under another ID. Or he could be on the Afghan-Pakistani border, with Zawahri."
The reward poster also says he operated a terrorist training camp in Derunta, Afghanistan, where he provided hundreds of students with poisons and explosives training. Mursi also allegedly proliferated training manuals that contain recipes for crude chemical and biological weapons.
Some of these training manuals were recovered by U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
Earlier Wednesday, Pakistani intelligence agents hunted for the graves of four al Qaeda militants believed killed in an airstrike near the Afghan border — bodies that reportedly were whisked away by surviving comrades.
The purported U.S. missile attack on the village of Damadola, which Pakistani intelligence officials said targeted Osama bin Laden's top deputy, also claimed civilian lives, embarrassing Pakistan's government and straining ties with Washington.
The U.S. government refuses to discuss Friday's airstrike, which has been condemned by Pakistan and was expected to be discussed during an official visit to Washington this week by Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz.
Much about the attack and its aftermath remains clouded in confusion, including how many people died, where they were buried and by whom.
The White House Tuesday refused to confirm any U.S. connection to the attack on that Pakistani village, reports CBS News correspondent Peter Maer. It says it doesn't comment on operational matters.
Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, on the eve of a trip to Washington, said that despite the importance of ties with the United States, attacks inside Pakistan "cannot be condoned."
"Pakistan has committed to fighting terrorism, but naturally we cannot accept any action within our country which results in what happened over the weekend," Aziz said, referring to the missile strike Friday in the border village of Damadola.
Eighteen residents, including women and children, were also killed in the strike, the provincial government said Tuesday.
Provincial authorities say the attack killed 18 residents of the Pashtun village, and they also say they believe sympathizers took the bodies of four or five foreign militants to bury them in the mountains, thereby preventing their identification.

The Pulse podcast features an interview with Bryan Alexander.
A new report from the Knight Foundation urges a major overhaul in journalism education. The report calls for journalism schools to create new "digital first" publications and to hire faculty who have experience in digital journalism. Further, it calls for the accreditation of journalism schools to focus not on program resources but on "measurable metrics" of teaching and learning success.
Massive open online course provider Coursera adds corporate partners to its course sequences and says it has found a business model.
MLA report shows 6.7 percent drop in language enrollments after decades of growth.
An investment banking and consulting firm focused on education, Tyton Partners, is issuing a report today that attempts to create a framework for measuring "evidence of learning." The research, which the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funded, seeks to take a holistic approach to defining the "body of knowledge, skills and experience" people achieve in both formal and informal activities throughout their lifetime. Tyton, which until this month was Education Growth Advisors, also released a second report on the "supplier ecosystem" that surrounds related markets, such as accreditation services, portfolio platforms and assessment services.
Colleges spent $407 billion in 2013 on formal education programs, while employers spent $177 billion, according to a new report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. The report found that employers also spent $413 billion on informal, on-the-job training. That means the workforce side of the total $1.1 trillion in expenditures on training outpaced that of higher education.
However, the rate of increase for spending on formal training has been faster in higher education -- an 82 percent increase since 1994 compared to a 26 percent increase by employers. Federally funded job training was the smallest piece of the pie, with $18 billion. College graduates receive the most formal training from employers, with 58 percent of the total expenditure by that sector compared to the 17 percent received by workers with a high school education or less.

As Victor E. Ferrall Jr. offered a valediction for the liberal arts here, declaring them "over the brink," colleagues at the recent Association of American Colleges and Universities conference in Washington, D.C., were abuzz designing its future: #libedunbound.
During a session entitled "Liberal Education Unbound: The Life of Signature Student Work in the Emerging Digital Learning Environment," Rebecca Frost Davis of St. Edward's University asked audience members to live tweet their reflections to the hashtag #libedunbound, to illustrate the productive potential of this networked back channel. The tweets posted during the session (including my own) were less than inspirational, perhaps because they were penned (thumbed?) on demand, in response to an assigned topic, "Where and from whom do you as a professional learn outside of the formal classroom or conference session?"
But the hashtag itself was inspired, as became evident during a later session, "The Future of Liberal Education in the New Learning Ecosystem," led by Randy Bass of Georgetown University. Bass invited the panelists -- José Antonio Bowen, president of Goucher College; Gardner Campbell, vice provost for learning innovation and student success at Virginia Commonwealth University; and J. Elizabeth Clark, professor of English at LaGuardia Community College -- to move away from technology-driven questions about the future of higher education and instead pose a true design challenge: How would we reimagine and reconstruct the future (of) #libedunbound? As the speakers took on a series of probing questions about the possibilities as well as the threats "the new learning ecosystem" might represent, audience members' -- and the panelists'! -- live tweets were projected onto a large screen. In this way, the panel's official channel ran alongside its unofficial back channel.
The panel's oral channel focused on a new vision of learning that will transform our conception of the liberal arts and higher education alike. Panelists spoke, for example, not just about students as content creators but about professors as "cognitive coaches." They hypothesized that the role of faculty members might become to make their learning -- as process, not as an achieved state of being -- visible to students and to one another. How will we fulfill our responsibility to prepare students to "live fully in their time"? Are we preparing our graduate students to teach the future generations of networked learners?
As the panelists considered the conceptual parameters of the new learning ecosystem, the digital back-channel chatter -- a word that I find particularly suitable, as it captures the unscripted and unedited murmur of live tweeting -- both deepened and challenged the panel's official argument.
Some tweets obliquely echoed the panelists, while others amounted to philosophical challenges and engaged fellow tweeters in a parallel conversation. One tweet asked, for example, if "it is possible to think deeply on [T]witter" (@noreen_o), while another (my own) mused that the concept of depth may have to shift in a networked environment. Particularly amusing was the banter about an imaginary gadget that a panelist described as the "academic [F]itbit," which might provide future students and professors with a feedback loop on vital cognitive data. But even that jest quickly turned into a serious query: What questions would we ask about our learning and how would we measure it? How will we teach our students to read and monitor their own data?
We were, I admit, in a glorious echo chamber of like-minded liberal education enthusiasts, caught up in one of those electric moments of communal inquiry. We needed no convincing of the value of liberal education and we have not given up on its future. Ferrall is no doubt correct that we cherish liberal education because it helps students become "critical thinkers, able and eager to distinguish opinions from facts and prejudices from truths, alert to the lessons of history and unwilling blindly to accept unsupported claims and assertions." But what the hundreds of tweets to #libedunbound also demonstrated is that we may benefit from the exercise of thinking about the future of liberal education away from the historically accurate but no longer productive dichotomy that juxtaposes it with vocational training.
In the knowledge economy, critical thinking and what we typically call skills are much more closely bound and more difficult to disentangle than they were at the inception of the liberal arts centuries ago or even in the relatively recent course of their 200-year history in U.S. higher education. As Gardner Campbell observed from the panel table, the new learning ecosystem offers innovative symbolic possibilities that liberal education has yet to explore. Our conception of the liberal arts will evolve with the learning ecosystem that it inhabits.
That is the key point Ferrall missed: liberal education has never been static. An argument that presents it as such has already given up on its key component: learning as a never finished process, always renewed and always contextual. #Libedunbound may be one way to capture this idea: the chatter to this hashtag indeed emphasized active liberal learners of the future over and above the nominalized form of liberal "education."
Any valediction for the liberal arts should, like John Donne's, at the very least "forbid[] mourning": our historical moment can certainly be read as a "breach" of the venerable tradition, but it must equally be read as presenting an opportunity for its "expansion." As Nicola Pitchford of Dominican University of California observed in a tweet from the session, "Instructional technology is for augmentation of what we do, not automation." Any tradition worth preserving must live and breathe with the times, and we are responsible for its augmentation in the future.
"Valete artes liberales." Not yet. And hearty welcome to #libedunbound.

It may make sense to move beyond the Carnegie unit, but where should we go? This is the question at the heart of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching's new report, The Carnegie Unit, on which Inside Higher Ed reported this week.
A primary critique of the Carnegie unit, or credit hour, is that it measures "seat time" but not the quality of learning. The first thing to remember, the report usefully reminds us, is that the credit hour did not evolve to evaluate student learning or quality teaching. One of its primary goals was to ensure that faculty members were fairly compensated for their time and work. A big challenge at the turn of the 20th century -- one that has reemerged in the early 21st century -- was that universities provided insufficient pay and economic security for scholars to devote their lives to teaching and intellectual inquiry.
Andrew Carnegie sought to provide pensions for faculty members to ensure professors economic security. Later, the American Association of University Professors' core tenets linked tenure to both academic freedom and economic security. At a time when more and more faculty members work as adjuncts or lecturers with low salaries and little protection for academic freedom, the question of the economic security of academics is pressing.
The Carnegie Report on 'This Week'
The long-awaited study will be discussed Friday on "This Week," Inside Higher Ed's free news podcast. Sign up here to be notified of new "This Week" podcasts.
The most prominent alternative to the credit hour is competency-based education. Two of the most high-profile competency-based programs, Western Governors University and College for America, both of which have been praised by President Obama and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, outsource thinking, eliminate faculty roles through "unbundling" or "disaggregating," rely heavily on adjunct labor, and offer little protection for academic freedom. They thus undermine rather than strengthen the American academy's ability to meet its public mission. They increase educational inequality between those who receive a serious college education and those who get fast degrees.
There is no necessary connection between moving beyond the credit hour and weakening the American academy. As noted above, already too many traditional institutions rely on adjunct labor. But the fact that two of the most highly praised examples of competency-based education go much further should give us pause.
Nothing Sacred
There is nothing sacred about the credit hour, but there are higher purposes to college. Thus, any effort to move beyond the credit hour must always reflect what college is for. For starters, college signifies much more than the acquisition of skills. Knowledge matters. We cannot embrace the anti-intellectual perspective of Thomas Friedman and others who argue that "the world doesn't care anymore what you know" but "what you can do." This assumption presumes wrongly, first, that knowledge and skills can be disaggregated, and second, that the acquisition of knowledge through intellectual inquiry, the very purpose of the college or university as an academic institution, is worthless.
Cognitive science has made clear that knowledge combines information with activity, that all real learning is active learning. The old distinction between knowing and doing -- which critics like Friedman assume -- cannot be sustained. To know is to do, and good teachers require their students to engage with the material, to use their minds, to develop new modes of thought and neuronal pathways. Students must make knowledge their own and learn to use it to understand the world. This is a time-consuming process.
This is not to say that generic competencies such as critical thinking have no value. Sociologists Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa, for example, have used the Collegiate Learning Assessment to evaluate student learning across campuses. In their two books, Academically Adrift (2011) and Aspiring Adults Adrift (2014), they found that gains in the CLA are correlated with courses in the liberal arts and sciences and that high CLA scores are correlated with better employment prospects. Most important, they found that campuses that value learning and create cultures oriented around high expectations for students produce better results.
Yet, as Arum and Roksa admit, their study captures only a slice of what matters. The Carnegie report concurs, concluding that too great an emphasis on generic "common assessments in higher education run[s] the risk of narrowing curricula." The purpose of studying history or literature or chemistry is not to acquire generic skills. Instead, we care about skills such as critical thinking or analytical ability because they enable students to have better insights and ideas, and to gain more from the subjects they study. Skills should not be abstracted from their ends. Skills are purposive. The skills of a carpenter are connected to the craft of carpentry. The same is true of the skills of a historian or chemist. Skills are used to achieve an end.
Skills are vital, of course. One cannot do history or chemistry or carpentry without them. They must be learned. And no doubt they are often transferable, and thus have general value. Yet to evaluate a historian or a chemist on some set of generic skills with no attention to knowledge or purpose is muddled at best. It would be like evaluating a guitar teacher on how effective he or she is in encouraging manual dexterity with no concern about what it means to be a guitar player, or even to play particular songs. The dexterity gained in learning guitar cannot be alienated from the student's or the teacher's goal of producing specific kinds of music with a particular musical instrument. A student learning guitar seeks a particular kind of excellence.
We cannot treat knowledge as incidental or epiphenomenal. We do not just want to teach students "literacy" or "critical thinking," but to read, to enjoy, and to learn from actual literature; and not just from "literature," but from actual texts. To reduce literature to literacy misses the point entirely and denies students meaningful access to the liberal arts.
Because the particulars matter, a liberal education is an education in the liberal arts and sciences, and those arts are not skills but rather organized ways of engaging in inquiry to gain knowledge and insight. They combine knowledge, skills and dispositions. Knowing history or chemistry or math is not about knowing facts. Nor is it about skills. It is instead about being historians, chemists or mathematicians who have knowledge gained from the use of particular skills. The purpose of these fields is to help students achieve some of the hard-earned insights that the liberal arts have gained about the human and natural worlds.
Thus, assessments of student learning must be designed in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which the university exists. To measure student learning in ways that are abstracted from the lifeworld in which skills take on meaning, are practiced and are developed would erode the moral and intellectual foundations of the university. It would treat skills as ends, not as means to an end. Any move beyond the credit hour, then, must be grounded in the particular, must move beyond general competencies and must take seriously the specific knowledge gained by studying particular things with particular people.
Answering the Critics
Critics of the credit hour raise two important concerns that cannot be dismissed. First, the credit hour does not give us a sense of what students learned. That was never its point. As the Carnegie report concludes, the credit hour "was never intended to serve as a measure of what students learned. Teachers and professors were left to gauge students' actual learning through grades and tests, papers and other performance measures." Thus critics who condemn the credit hour for not measuring learning are confusing categories.
The second important critique of the credit hour is that it allows students to view collegiate education as a matter of credit accumulation -- when students have a certain number of credits in this and that they get a college degree. But colleges do not allow a student to receive a degree for credits alone. They establish guidelines for what counts for a degree according to the faculty's understanding of what students need to think about and do before graduation.
The real problem occurs when the credit hour is extracted from the context in which it takes place. On its own, the credit hour is meaningless. Students who go to college part time, over many years, attending multiple institutions, come to equate a college education with counting credits and hoping that they transfer. But that is because students have been seeking credits, perhaps out of the necessity of their own working or personal lives, rather going to college. If students are not permitted to spend serious, devoted time steeped in the life of the mind, stepping away from their lives and onto college campuses, then it does not matter how many credits they have piled up. Focused, devoted time really matters. The same is true for competency-based education or any other approach.
Thus, one of the real risks to eliminating the credit hour is that we will forget the vital importance of time. Education Secretary Duncan mocks "seat time" as a measure of learning. New America's Amy Laitinen also contrasts learning with time. This dichotomy hides as much as it reveals and reflects an impoverished notion of what it means to educate.
If we really wish to graduate knowledgeable students with the aspiration to know more, time, which the Carnegie report calls "an often undervalued component of equal educational opportunity," matters very much. In other words, whether we get rid of the credit hour or not, we need to ensure that all American college students have devoted, sustained time to work under the guidance of faculty members. Many of the efforts to move beyond the credit hour seek to reduce students' time in college by allowing them to progress as fast as they can a series of competencies; this is what both WGU and College for America do, but, as Debra Humphreys argues, such approaches reduce colleges' ability "to increase students' exposure to deep learning, research and real-world applications of learning."
Why Class Time Matters
Class time is formative. It enables students to gain specific insights into the world under the mentorship of experts. Every course is a vista point over a landscape that allows students to see their world differently. This is by its very nature particular -- particular to the teacher, the text, the material and the student. These insights in turn form the lenses by which students view the world. They provide understanding, cultivate the imagination and are the basis for asking new, better questions. This all takes time. Students must have more than just competencies or skills -- they must have the right kinds of intellectual experiences, whether we measure those experiences in terms of credits, tutorials, classes or some other unit.
Time is formative. It takes time to foster students' dispositions, or their virtues and habits. It is not enough that students demonstrate the ability, for example, to write a research paper. Students must come to think of intellectual inquiry as an end in itself, something that they cannot, and would not, avoid. They should seek not credits, grades or competencies, but understanding.
Time is also required to develop skills or competencies in any meaningful sense. Real skills come from repetition. For example, one can pass a driver's exam by cramming and taking written and skills-based tests. Yet that does not a driver make. A driver becomes a driver through repeated practice, until driving becomes something that one does skillfully. The same is true for intellectual skills.
Thus, time is required to gain insights, to develop new dispositions or habits and to master the skills necessary to achieve knowledge. Students don't learn skills or knowledge; they must become the kind of people who use their intellectual skills to seek knowledge. And to do that well, they need actual knowledge, actual vistas, to make sense of the world.
To defend "seat time" is not to defend the status quo. Class time must be good time -- it must ensure that students engage their minds. Students cannot sit passively; faculty must do much more than lecture. Classes must be small enough for real faculty-student interaction, and faculty members must demand of themselves and their peers that they are teaching students all three things -- knowledge, virtues and skills. To make seat time good time requires, first, recognizing the value of seat time, and second, helping students use seat time to get off their seats. In other words, what matters is time more than seats.
Time matters, but the time must be good time in good communities oriented to the right ends. Any person who has been part of a community -- a church, for example -- knows how important time is for forming and educating human beings. One cannot become a church member by passing a set of competencies quickly and easily. One becomes a church member by changing, and this requires knowledge and a new set of dispositions, a new orientation. The same ought to be true for college graduates.
That is also why higher education cannot be integrated into the world even as it prepares students for it. Some, including President Obama, celebrate campuses that bring employers in, that integrate the "real world" and the campus, but college and university campuses are places apart for a reason. They establish sites for reflection, something that is not easy to do in a world that places many demands on us. From this perspective, programs that emphasize speed and align themselves too closely to employer needs can never achieve the goals of a good college education, can never ensure that all college students have the opportunity to be, as philosopher Michael Oakeshott put it, "inhabitants of a place of learning."
Finally, time matters because to educate a human being requires human relationships; it requires mentors who form deep, meaningful, trusting and intellectual relationships. These relationships matter at a practical level because they are correlated with student retention, but they ultimately matter because that is the way we human beings learn best. Our brains, cognitive science teaches us, set up barriers to learning that make it difficult to change our minds. Students -- and faculty members too -- need to feel able to open themselves up to risk, to engage in real learning. Good teaching and good student learning thus require that students have time to find intellectual mentors and to develop trusting relationships, and vice versa.
Ultimately, efforts to think beyond the credit hour cannot dismiss the central importance of time. There are some proposals that move in the right direction. One example is the Association of American Colleges & Universities' LEAP (Liberal Education, America's Promise) initiative. In its most recent rendering of what should constitute a college education, the authors of the LEAP initiative make clear that a college graduate ought to be a particular kind of person. A college graduate needs actual "knowledge of human cultures and the physical and natural worlds" through serious study in "the sciences and mathematics, humanities, histories, languages and the arts." Knowledge, however, is linked to the "intellectual and practical skills" necessary to acquire it well and to use it to gain insight on the world. Finally, a college graduate needs to link their knowledge and skills to virtues, which the LEAP initiative calls "personal and social responsibility."
Another promising effort is the Lumina Foundation's most recent version of the Degree Qualifications Profile (DQP). The DQP also takes knowledge, skills and dispositions seriously. It divides the kinds of knowledge students need into five "learning categories," including "specialized knowledge" and "broad and integrative knowledge." Gaining knowledge, the DQP recognizes, is linked to the development of "intellectual skills." Finally, students must develop new dispositions, a direction -- or telos -- to which they apply their knowledge. Thus, the DQP asks students to engage in "applied and collaborative learning" to see how academic knowledge helps answer important questions, and "civic and global learning" to remind students that their education comes with duties to their communities, American democracy and the world.
Neither LEAP nor DQP could be done quickly or easily, at least if done well. It takes time to develop in students the kind of knowledge that matters. It takes time to hone their intellectual skills. And it takes time to develop lasting dispositions.
No matter how we move forward, then, we will need to think about time as an asset rather than an impediment. We will need to find ways to provide students of all ages and backgrounds with time to devote to becoming educated. Already, students spend too little time on campus. Already, working adults lack the resources to take time away from their busy lives. To overcome the credit hour in a way that reduces students' time on campus would only make it more difficult for colleges and universities to offer a high quality and meaningful education. Such efforts might increase access to college degrees but not to the education that must accompany the degree.
There is absolutely nothing sacred about the credit hour, as the Carnegie report makes clear. The time may well come to do away with it and find something else. We must, however, be sure that whatever we do instead provides economic security and academic freedom for professors, and recognizes that a good education takes time.

If you're increasingly being required to edit manuscripts on the screen ("onscreen editing") using a word processor, your editing skills remain the same, but transferring them into a word processor can be challenging. Effective Onscreen Editing eases the transition from on-paper editing: it provides the basics you need to get started, supplemented by proven tips and tricks to maximize your productivity and effectiveness. This book is based on my 22+ years of experience as an editor and as a mentor for other editors, supplemented by feedback from students who have taken my course on onscreen editing.
My goal is to illustrate general principles that will work in any word processor. To make those principles concrete, I use Microsoft Word (versions 2003, 2007, and 2008) to show how to implement these principles in the real world. (Because the examples only illustrate the principles, you'll benefit from the book even if you don't use Word. However, you'll have to learn how your word processor implements the techniques.) The information is provided in small chunks, designed for easy reading and browsing. You can dip into the book to solve a specific problem, or read it a chapter at a time to increase your mastery of the art of onscreen editing.

Inevitably, some errors and interesting new information slip through my net. You can see the errata and additions for the May 2007 and January 2008 releases of the first edition on this site. The January/February 2008 update is available (free!) to registered purchasers; it contains all the updates for the May 2007 edition, and replaces that edition. If you purchased the May 2007 edition and have not yet received a download link for the January 2008 edition by e-mail, please contact me (with the purchase date) to request the new version.
The 2nd edition was much cleaner than the 1st edition, but the environment for onscreen editing has changed quite a bit since this edition was published. Details of the changes appear here.

Donald Trump, who has long stated his desire to play host to a men's major championship at one of his many golf courses, has completed his purchase of Turnberry Resort in Scotland, according to reports. The Ailsa Course at Turnberry, located on Scotland's west coast, has been the site of four Open Championships and will likely do so again.
"It was an opportunity, as far as I was concerned," Trump told GOLF.com, which first reported the purchase as final. "Turnberry is considered one of the greatest courses in the world. It's a special place. It's an important place."
PHOTOS: Creative golf course shots on Instagram
And a memorable one, especially for Hall of Famer, 2014 Team USA Ryder Cup captain and five-time Open Champion Tom Watson.
It was at Turnberry in 1977 that Watson defeated Jack Nicklaus in the famous "Duel in the Sun." And it was also at Turnberry where he suffered perhaps his most stinging loss, a playoff defeat to Stewart Cink in 2009 when the then-59-year-old Watson needed only a par on the 72nd hole to become the oldest major champion in history. Of course, a weary Watson made bogey and lost the playoff by six shots.
Trump's purchase, which brings to 17 the number of course he owns throughout the world, also includes the Turnberry Hotel.
"This is a fabulous property in a great location," Trump said. "We're going to bring a new level of luxury to the hotel. Our aim is to make it the finest golf hotel in the world."
There was no word on if Turnberry would soon carry the standard Trump stamp that is included in the names of all of his courses, as well as virtually everything else he owns.
"'Trump Turnberry' has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?" said Trump.

My stay was great, the rooms are right next to the beach, with the heated pool overlooking towards the beach. rooms for comfortable for 2-3 people tops. anything more id recommend bigger room. shower is a little small. furniture, TV, Kitchen Area are pretty modern. only issue my wife and i had was the floor being dirty and on our second of 4 days the maid didnt come in.
This Inn is not a fancy place. Nor They intend it to be. What made it special for us was that it was simple, clean,and operated by very pleasant owners.Nice Beach Location.

A Retrospective of Prince's Iconic Moments in Fashion
The prolific musician was also an influential style setter.
Those who were hoping to catch glimpses of Kelly Rowland's extravagant wedding will have to look elsewhere for their celeb glamour and glitz fix as the singer says she will be having a super small ceremony when she marries fiancé/manager Tim Witherspoon.
"I think we just really want it to be us and our pastor. That's it," she tells People. "I mean, we are the only two that's going to be in the marriage."
A small intimate wedding is fitting considering the couple's engagement was just as simple and sweet. This week, Rowland, 32, finally confirmed that she and Witherspoon were engaged over Skype while she was in Bulgaria and is over the moon to be marrying her best friend.
"It was so late, I remember we were both just kinda like, honestly, just staring at each other," Rowland said on The Wendy Williams Show. "And he asked me, and it was just that simple to say yes."
As for scaling her reception way down, Rowland says she doesn't need to spend money feeding hundreds of mouths just to show off her gown.
"You have to pay for food for everyone and I'm not down with that," she says. "Everyone is there just to be nosy and see who I'm wearing, you know. I'm okay."

from Dell
We find out why Dell's compact digital projector is the perfect solution for tech-savvy photographers on the move.
Digital projectors have always been tempting for photographers, as they allow images to be displayed at a far larger size than on-screen or in print. But the size, weight and expense of projectors has been enough to put most photographers off in the past, with many feeling their hard-earned pounds are better spent on more core kit like cameras and lenses.
Dell's new M115HD is one of a new breed of ultra-compact projectors that are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. And at only 363g (without cables), it's a fraction of the weight of a digital projector of old. The key to its portability is that it uses an LED bulb, which is a lot smaller and lighter than a traditional incandescent bulb. LEDs also boast an impressive 30,000-hour lifecycle, have virtually no warm-up time and kick out far less heat.
Despite running much cooler, there are two small fans to keep the unit cool. They're not too loud but are noticeable, which is a problem if you're relying on the rather feeble 1W built-in speaker. To get around this, simply connect portable speakers to the 3.5mm audio out socket when watching movies or playing music.
The M115HD's bulb has a maximum brightness of 450 lumens, which is easily bright enough for home use. In fact, when viewing images in a dark room the result is really impressive, with crystal clear detail and good colour and contrast fidelity. Very small text sizes can be difficult to read and occasionally scaling artefacts are visible, though these are only minor gripes.
The M115HD's projection range is 0.97m to 2.58m, which allows a maximum diagonal screen size of over 2m, and focus is changed manually on the top of the unit. With a resolution of 1280x800 WXGA, the projection is HD but not Full HD (1080p). On the bottom of the M115HD is an adjustable rubber foot to raise or lower the projector, and vertical correction is built-in so the projection is never distorted.
Impressive connectivityConnect directly to a laptop, tablet or smartphone via VGA, USB or HDMI, or wirelessly using a USB dongle (sold separately). If you don't have a phone, tablet or laptop, simply insert a USB stick or MicroSD card with your images, PDFs, movies or office documents on and project them straight from there. Alternatively, store files in the 1GB built-in memory.
Key specPrice: £339Brightness: 450 lumensResolution: 1280x800 WXGAColours: 1.07 billion colours & DLP/BrilliantColor technology Typical contrast ratio: 10,000:1Projection distance: 0.97-2.58mDiagonal screen size: 0.76-2.03mBulb type: Mercury-free LEDLED lifecycle: 30,000 hoursConnections: USB, VGA, MicroSD, 3.5mm audio out, HDMI Size (WxHxD): 105x104x37mm Weight: 363g
PA verdictWe're really impressed by the Dell M115HD. It might not be the most powerful projector on the market, but its 450 lumens LED bulb kicks out easily enough light for home use, even in large rooms. Colour and contrast fidelity are good, though there is a slight rainbow effect (the separation of red, green and blue light) around areas of high contrast. There are plenty of external connections built-in, so connecting a smartphone, tablet, laptop, USB stick or MicroSD memory card is easy, and the 1GB built-in memory means you can use the projector without the need for any other device. Users can buy a separate Wi-Fi dongle for around £40, allowing wireless connectivity via the Dell app, and there's also a credit card-sized remote control available. Our main criticism is the feeble 1W speaker, though connecting inexpensive portable speakers is no big deal. Overall, this is a good deal at £339. www.dell.co.uk

discount five finger shoes Definition from Answers Combat boots are military boots designed to be worn by soldiers during actual combat or combat training as opposed to during parades and other ceremonial duties. Modern combat boots are designed to provide a combination of grip, ankle stability, and foot protection suitable to a rugged environment. They are traditionally made of hardened, sometimes waterproofed leather. Today, many combat boots incorporate many technologies originating in civilian hiking boots, such as Gore Tex nylon side panels, which improve ventilation and comfort.[1] They are also often specialized for certain climates and conditions, such as jungle boots, desert boots, and cold weather boots as well as specific uses, such as tanker boots and jump boots.[1][2][3] The first soldiers to have been issued boots were the foot soldiers of the Assyrians.[citation needed] The soldiers of the Roman legions wore hobnail boots, called caligae. England and United Kingdom During the English Civil War each soldier of the New Model Army was issued three shoes or ankle boots. After every march the soldier would change them round to ensure they received even wear. Following the Restoration shoes and uniforms followed the civilian pattern: shoes with buckles were used by most armies from 1660 until around 1800. Hessian boots were used by cavalry from the 18th century until World War I. Late in the Napoleonic Wars the British army began to be issued lace up ankle boots that replaced the older buckle shoes. These "Blucher" boots remained in use throughout the 19th century and were used in conflicts that included the Crimean War (1853 1856), First Zulu War (1879), and First Boer War (1880 1881). These in turn were replaced by ammunition boots which were used in a variety of similar patterns from the late 1880s until the late 1960s. There was no "left" or "right" boot: instead they shaped themselves to the wearer's feet over time. Needless to say, until they were broken in, these boots were very uncomfortable and often resulted in blisters. These were replaced in 1858 with an improved version used until the 1880s, known as Jeff Davis boots after Jefferson Davis, the Secretary of War who re equipped the army in the 1850s. Post 1900Since 2000, the n Army (As well as other its other Defence branches), primarily uses the Redback Terra Combat Boot as a replacement for the Vietnam War era General Purpose combat boots. It was given a limited amount of tests in 1999, and was later distributed in 2000. Despite the boot's general aptitude for the tasks which the ADF had first put it in place for, it still had major flaws. 90% of all negative feedback from soldiers was about its inappropriate sizing, having only 43 different sizes. Many also claimed that its sole could rot in worst case tropical circumstances. Currently, development is underway to create a better boot. To address concerns, the n Army maintains a list of approved non standard issue boots that can be worn by troops.[5] Boots approved by the Chief of Army as at 25/6/11 include: ALTAMA 4156 or 4158 3LC Hot Weather Belleville M590 or M591 Hot Weather Bates 30501 Durashock desertDANNER Acadia Desert MEINDL Desert fox Safari LOWA Urban Desert GARMONT T8 Multi Terrain Combat boots of the French army are nicknamed "rangers" because of their similarity to the M 43 American model. Since the end of the world war 2, three models have been manufactured. The first model was based on the 1952 combat ankle boots on which a leather high top cuff with two buckle was added. It was made of sturdy but very stiff brown coloured cowhide leather. It was called "brodequin jambire attenante Mle 1952" and was widely distributed from 1956 on, in priority to airborne troops engaged in Algeria. In 1961, a simplified version was introduced, the boot and the leather cuff being made in one piece. In 1965 a new version of the 1961 model was introduced made of shined black grained leather more flexible than the original one. Their soles were of a direct molded type. In 1986 a transitory model with laces to the top and enhanced waterproofing was experimented under the designation "combat boots model F 2" but was not adopted. The two first models had to be blackened with coloured grease and shoe polish. They were issued to French soldiers including Foreign legionnaires until the beginning of the 90s and then were kept in store in case of conflict. A lot of them have been released on the market after the gendarmerie dropped the territorial defense mission at the beginning of the 21st Century.

The Roy Rogers Show is an American Western television series that broadcast 100 episodes on NBC for six seasons between December 30, 1951 and June 9, 1957. The show starred Roy Rogers as a ranch owner, Dale Evans as the proprietress of the Eureka Cafe in fictional Mineral City, and Pat Brady as Roy's sidekick and Dale's cook. Brady's jeep Nellybelle had a mind of her own and often sped away driverless with Brady in frantic pursuit on foot. The Jeep was first called LuLubelle in the 1952 series. Animal stars were Roy's Palomino horse, Trigger, and his German Shepherd wonder dog, Bullet. Wikipedia
