China's "roof of the world" glaciers melting fast
BEIJING (Reuters) - Glaciers covering China's Qinghai-Tibet
plateau are shrinking by 7 percent a year due to global warming
and the environmental consequences may be dire, Xinhua news
agency reported on Tuesday.
Rising temperatures that have accelerated the melting of
glaciers across the "roof of the world" will eventually turn
tundra that spans Tibet and surrounding high country into
desert, the agency quoted Professor Dong Guangrong with the
Chinese Academy of Sciences as saying.
more droughts and increase sandstorms that lash western and
northern China. He reached his conclusions after analyzing four
decades of data from China's 681 weather stations.
Han Yongxiang of China's National Meteorological Bureau
said average temperatures in Tibet had risen 0.9 centigrade
since the 1980s, accelerating the melting of glaciers and
frozen tundra across the plateau.
The Qinghai-Tibet plateau covers 2.5 million square km
(0.96 million square miles) -- about a quarter of China's land
surface -- at an average altitude of 4,000 metres (13,000 ft)
above sea level.
Dust and sandstorms are a growing problem, particularly in
North China, due to deforestation, drought and the
environmental depredations of China's breakneck economic
A strong sandstorm swept across one eighth of China's
territory on April 16 and 17, dumping 330,000 tons of dust on
Beijing and reaching as far as Korea and Japan.
China's weathermen might soon launch a "dust forecast" in
their bulletins, Xinhua quoted a China Meteorological
Administration official as saying.

Re: Microbiology?Microorganisms may be tiny, but the relatively new science of microbiology is huge! Prokaryotic bacteria, eukaryotic fungi, and nonliving viruses are just some of the microbes that effect our health and environment. Some are beneficial, others pathogens or opportunistic.
Re: Microbiology?Microbiology is the study of small living things. Generally this means living things that are too small to see without the use of a microscope. These life forms are called microorganisms or microbes. Microorganisms include bacteria, archaea (a type of prokaryote a bit like bacteria but they have a distinct evolutionary origin), viruses, protozoa (single-cell eukaryotes like amoeba), microscopic fungi and yeasts, and microscopic algae (plant-like organisms). Microorganisms were discovered over three hundred years ago and it is thought that many new microbes have yet to be discovered. Microbiology is a wide area of science that includes bacteriology, virology, mycology, phycology, parasitology, and other branches of biology.

When the IMCA Stock Car main event rolled out and the redraw put Rod Snellenberger and John Heinz on the front row, most race fans thought for sure one of the two would take home the Kim Parsons Memorial trophy. Snellenberger grabbed the lead at the drop of the green with Heinz applying heavy pressure. Snellenberger was able keep the field in the rearview as they raced past the midway point. Heinz second with Mike Coel holding down third. Snellenberger appeared to have the race in hand but a caution setup a 5 lap dash to the checker. As the race restarted Snellenberger chose to use the low line to hold off Heinz this allowed Coel to work to the outside of the leader and with 2 laps remaining Coel cruised by Snellenberger and took the win in thrilling fashion. Heinz snuck by for second, Snellenberger was forced to settle for third, Kyle Fredrick placed fourth and Bill Kelsey completed the top five.
Point leader Jason Czarapata and Troy Jerovetz paced the front row of the IMCA Modified feature and when the green dropped the duo sped away from the field with Jerovetz on point. At the midway mark Jay Matthias moved into second, Lance Arneson and out of state visitor Kyle Strickler battled for fourth. As Jerovetz encountered lap traffic Czarapata made his move closing on in the leader. With the white flag in the air Czarapata worked to the inside of Jerovetz as they went down the backstretch. With the checker flag in sight the duo raced door to door out of turn 4 with Jerovetz beating Czarapata to the finish line by a mere 3 feet. It was the third feature win of the weekend for Jerovetz who won at 141 Speedway on Wednesday and at Oshkosh Speedzone on Friday. Czarapata put the fans on the edge of their seat with his second place finish, Matthias was third, Strickler placed fourth in his first ever run at Seymour and Arneson rounded out the top five. The Modified main went green to checker.
Ron Berna paced the opening laps of the WDLMA Late Model main before Troy Springborn slipped by and to the lead. Springborn sprinted away from the field, Nick Anvelink worked to second and began to chop away at the huge lead Springborn had built. Anvelink closed the gap within 2 car lengths but that's as close as he got as Springborn scored the win, Anvelink second, Justin Ritchie made a late race charge to third, Berna was fourth and Justin Schmidt was the hard charger of the race placing fifth after starting in row 8. The 30 lap contest went green to checker in under 8 minutes.
Cody Hokenstad worked past Jeremy Cota and never looked back scoring his second feature of the season in the IMCA Sport Mods. Cota shook off his bad luck with second, point contender Rob Charapata was third, point leader Tracy Wassenberg was fourth and Aaron Muhle marched from row 8 to fifth.
Jerry Winkler won his 4th feature of the year in the Street Stocks. Jerry Kope was second, point leader Jon Ascraft was third, Patty Winkler had another good run with fourth and Lexii Ashcraft completed the top five.
Matt Kaye looked to have the Sport Four feature in hand until his right front wheel broke off ending his night. Point leader Tyler Hungerford inherited the lead and never looked back picking up his first win of the season. Calvin Stueck scored second, Jeff Behm was third, Dalton Nelson in his first run of the season was fourth and Cody Hungerford raced to fifth,

UNICEF: Grave Violations of Children's Rights during Armed Conflicts Must End
UNICEF today joined the Secretary-General's call for an end to the recruitment and sexual exploitation of children by armed groups in theatres of conflict, at the Security Council discussion of the Secretary-General's annual report on Children and Armed Conflict.
"Millions of children around the world continue to be impacted by armed conflict," said Ann M. Veneman, UNICEF Executive Director. "Adherence to international humanitarian law and respect for children's rights must be strengthened."
The Secretary-General's report, in special annexes, identifies parties that recruit children in violation of applicable international law. This latest report recommends that groups that perpetrate sexual violence and other grave violations against children also be named in the annexes of future reports.
Grave violations, as defined in the report, are recruitment and use of children, killing and maiming of children, rape and other grave sexual violence, abductions, attacks on schools and hospitals, and denial of humanitarian access to children.
While the report notes progress in releasing children from armed groups and armed forces, such as the release of more than 1200 children by armed groups in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo, since the start of 2009, and of 342 children by armed groups in Burundi, it also documents violations by 56 parties to conflicts in 20 countries.
The report includes descriptions of incidents in 20 countries. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for example, the Lord's Resistance Army has expanded its operations across various borders in the region and has abducted 300 children since November 2008. Attacks on schools are now frequent occurrences. In Afghanistan, teachers and particularly girl students have been targeted.
"In places like Afghanistan, schools have been attacked and teachers and particularly girl students have been targeted," Veneman said. "Children remain the victims of wars of adults."
UNICEF supports national child protection systems and conducts interventions such as interim care for released children, medical and psychosocial support, family reunification and reintegration, support for survivors of sexual violence and actions to strengthen national justice system and legislation relating to children.

A show that manages year after year to accomplish that rare blend of Hollywood darling and fan favorite.
Series creator Vince Gilligan wrote the first two episodes of this eight-episode batch, and they crackle, as always, with intelligence and an ever-lingering sense of dread.
Breaking Bad [is] a radical type of television, and also a very strange kind of must-watch: a show that you dread and crave at the same time.
It wants to entertain you, to draw you in with exciting, exacting plotting, and precisely drawn characters.
Breaking Bad continues at the same disciplined, regimented pace, fussing over small details and picking at new threads, even with the end looming.
The arc of this character--series creator Vince Gilligan's invention of Walter White as a sick soul--is, it's clear now. one of the great narratives in Television histpory. [13 Jul 2012, p.62]
After some demented inspiration from Jesse (Aaron Paul), Walt launches a caper so audacious, it's almost comical.

NEW YORK (AP) — A small plane traveling to Connecticut after taking a tour of the Statue of Liberty made an emergency landing Saturday on a New York City interstate highway, startling drivers but touching down safely with no serious injuries to anyone aboard or on the ground, officials said.
The aircraft, a Piper PA-28, set down at around 3:20 p.m. on the northbound side of the Major Deegan Expressway in the Bronx, in an area where the highway passes through Van Cortlandt Park.
The Federal Aviation Administration said three people were on board. Police and fire officials said neither the male pilot nor two female passengers appeared to have been badly hurt. All were taken to a Bronx hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, said Mayor Bill de Blasio.
De Blasio told reporters the plane had departed from Danbury Municipal Airport and was making the return trip when it experienced engine problems.
"We have...extraordinary situation and actually a bit of a miracle, thank God, that happened today in our city," he said, calling the successful highway landing, without any serious injuries or deaths, "amazing."
"I thought I'd seen everything in my life," he said.
The FAA said damage to the aircraft was minor. Photos taken by bystanders showed blue and white plane largely intact, but resting on its belly by the snowy edge of the road. The plane's landing gear appeared in the photos to have collapsed.
It wasn't immediately clear what kind of engine problems the plane experienced. It didn't strike any cars on the road, police said. A spokeswoman for the FAA said it was investigating but said the National Transportation Safety Board would take over the investigation if it was determined the aircraft sustained a significant amount of damage.
There were no fires or gas leaks and emergency workers removed the plane's fuel to secure the scene, de Blasio said.
The highway was closed and emergency personnel were on the scene until about 6 p.m., when the plane was taken away on a flatbed truck to a local aviation facility, the FAA said.
FAA records indicated the plane was registered to an owner in South Salem.
Patricia Sapol, 29, of West Point, was driving south on the highway with her husband when they saw emergency vehicles surrounding the downed plane near exit 13, about 15 minutes after the landing.
"We couldn't believe it! We thought, 'Oh my god that's a plane!' It was pretty incredible," she said. "The fact that there was no actual crash we thought was pretty surprising."

Toss beets with 2 tablespoons oil in roasting pan. Sprinkle with salt. Cover pan with foil. Bake until beets are tender, about 50 minutes. Let beets stand covered at room temperature 20 minutes. Peel beets and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
Whisk crème fraîche, horseradish, lemon juice, and minced shallot in medium bowl. Add beets and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature at least 20 minutes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
For flank steak
Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, and ground black pepper in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Add steak; turn to coat. Cover and chill at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.
Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Remove steak from marinade; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill steak to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from grill; let stand 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add reserved beet greens; sauté until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 3 minutes.

Up until now, I've always used TABLE tags for all of my alignment but I'm trying to start getting into the habit of using DIV tags & css instead. I'm having a problem however when trying to align a basic login form but I'm not sure why. I want my form to look like this:
....but instead, it's looking like this:
As you can see, the "Log In" button & links are pushed up alongside the username/password textboxes, which I don't want. I want them to be beneath my textboxes. I then want to place an image to the right of my textboxes (represented by the "image here" text). Here's my code:

  Username:
 <input type="text"/>
 Password:
 <input type="text"/>   Image Here

 <input type="button" value="Log In"/>

 Forgot Password?
 Register

How can I move the login button and forgot password/register links beneath the textboxes but still keep my "Image here" section to the right of the textboxes?
So i don't confuse you I'll explain the fix first which is simply just a CSS property called clear, this property allows you to clear a child element that comes after siblings before it so it doesn't float on the same level. See the below example which uses your code:

 Normal content here...

Now for the problems your code has:
NO!!! -- they are not paragraphs!. What should be done there is the use of LABELS for the inputs and simple line breaks. Then they'll have the CORRECT semantic meanings. See my signature.
been seeing that in a lot of code lately...
There is little if any reason for the markup for said layout to be much more than:
<fieldset>  Username: <input type="text" id="loginUsername" name="username" />
 Password: <input type="text" id="loginPassword" name="password" />
 <input type="submit" value="Log In" class="submit" />

assuming that's inside a form with the ID "loginForm" the CSS would go something like this:
/* assumes reset nulling fieldset margins and border are in place */ #loginForm img { float:right; margin:0 0 1em 1em; } #loginForm label { display:block; } #loginForm input { display:block; } #loginForm div { clear:both; padding:1em 0; }
There's no reason for all those extra pointless tags in there -- semantic markup can generally do the grunt work for you. ESPECIALLY if you have your source order in display order and keep the floats to a minimum as you really only have one thing that NEEDS to float.
FIELDSET and LABEL -- two tags I'm shocked how many developers have never even HEARD of them much less figured out where/how/why to use them; but the same could be said for TH, THEAD, TBODY, LEGEND, CAPTION, etc...

When you are running an e-commerce store, inevitably you will experience shopping cart abandonment - customer adds items to their cart but leaves your site before checking out. In fact, the average shopping cart abandonment rate is 68.63%.1 There are a number of reasons for this phenomenon. Customers experience unexpected costs at checkout, the checkout process is too complicated, found a better price elsewhere, etc.2 No matter what the reason, they all equal the same thing - lost sales. The good news is that you can use the abandoned carts report to identify the customers in question and try to win them back!
Where do I find this gem of a report, you ask?
Log in to your Magento admin. Click on Reports->Shopping Cart->Abandoned Carts
The report display will show you the following:
- Customer Name
- Number of Items
- Quantity of Items
- Subtotal
- Applied Coupon
- Created At
- Updated At
- IP Address
In this example you can see that "Bob Smith" has abandoned his cart. If we now visit Bob's Customer record, we will see exactly what was in it when he left the site.
Click Customers->"Customer Name"->Shopping Cart
Now, what to do with all of this new found data?
There are few ways to approach your abandoned cart data.
1. Analyze the amount of abandoned carts your site is experiencing then take a look at where you can make improvements. Is the checkout process lengthy or complicated? Should you offer a wish list for convenient "saving" of items the customer is interested in? Is your site optimized for mobile devices?
2. Seize the opportunity to "remind" the customer that they have left something behind. Many successful online businesses use remarketing campaigns to bring the customer back to their cart and encourage the completion of the sale. Often times the emails will include an incentive in the form of a coupon or free shipping.
3. Use the product data to learn about trends in popularity. Are there certain products that are consistently left in carts? Are certain products most likely to be part of a completed sale following an abandoned cart email?
Noggin nugget: Studies show that in 2015, $4tr of merchandise was left in abandoned online shopping carts - the largest amount of cart abandonment ever seen!3

On Father's Day, I went bowling with my second and third sons, Charles and Cael, and my daughter, Natasja. We played three games.
In the third game, I bowled a 207! My high game way back in high school (I graduated in 1976) was 157. My high game during the last year or so that my family started bowling on weekends, was 150. So 207 was really high for me (really, really high). And I had a clean game -- strikes or spares in all 10 frames. It was really amazing. I think that the Father's Day angels were helping me.
Bowling a lifetime high game with my kids on Father's Day was the best!
So here is the point. Karate makes you a better bowler! Or, I was really, really lucky that day!
And here is another point. Spending time with your kids -- doing anything -- is the best!

This is my review of the abundance course (otherwise known as the release technique).
I have known about releasing, and the release technique for a few years now. The power of this technique is often hidden by its simplicity. Releasing, if you apply it, can allow you to remove your internal blocks, and move forward to not only achieving your goals and desires more easily (even effortlessly, it's possible – please understand by "effortlessly" I don't mean without taking action, but I do mean without internal resistance). Not only that, but perhaps the most important thing that releasing can allow you to experience, is the joy and happiness that you are truly looking for. After all, why do you think you want to achieve the goals that you desire? Of course, the answer is that you believe their attainment will bring you happiness and peace of mind.
This is in fact one of the first tenets of the release technique, and the abundance course. Everybody is looking for peace of mind, but they are looking for it outside of themselves, in money, possessions, relationships, etc. This is a losing game, you CANNOT find happiness and peace of mind by looking for it in the outside world.
The good news is – you already are what you are seeking. Joy, abundance and peace of mind are at the very heart and soul of your "being" (I use that word with caution, as it can be used far too ambiguously these days in my opinion), and by removing your internal blocks (negativity that you have suppressed throughout your lifetime) you can begin to experience the peace and joy that you really are, on a consistent basis.
The irony here, is that when you actually start to live from a place of joy, abundance and peace, the things that you used to think chasing after in the outside world would bring you the happiness, start to come into your life more easily.
To skip my review, and visit the homepage for The Abundance Course, click here.
Positive attracts positive, and negative attracts negative. It's obvious, even if you don't buy into the whole law of attraction thing.
So, from this understanding, I can begin to explain to you how the release technique works.
The basis of the release technique is that because we are all essentially, and intrinsically positive "beings", all we have to do is uncover that positivity, by "releasing" or "letting go of" the negativity that is covering up our true nature.
The reason we quite often don't experience ourselves as these wonderfully joyous, and peaceful people that we are underneath, is because of our habit of suppressing negativity. Negative things are always going to happen in life – period. The problem is, when we go through life and experience negativity, we quite often push it down, out of our awareness, so we don't have to look at it. We don't want to feel things like, apathy, fear, grief, and so on, so we deal with it by using the emotional "tactic" of suppression.
Examples of emotional suppression are; drinking alcohol to relax and take your mind off a bad day, watching TV for hours after a difficult day in the office, over eating or eating again when we have just had a large meal, using sex to change our mood, etc, etc. Pretty much anything can be used as suppression, if it's aim is to make ourselves feel good, when we have been feeling not so good, or stressed out.
We all have different ways of doing this, depending on our various interests, or lifestyles, but granted, most people have at least a few ways that they will use often, to suppress their negative feelings.
The problem with suppressing all of these feelings, is that they go into what is known as our "subconscious mind", and begin to interfere with our lives more and more, the more garbage we suppress and store. Oh and by the way, if we do this long enough, we can unwittingly setup very unhelpful mental and emotional patterns that can then dominate our lives in a very negative way, things such as clinical depression, anxiety disorder, etc, are good examples of this happening.
If you have heard enough, and just want to get started learning the release technique and feeling better, then click here.
If you don't really understand what this idea of the subconscious mind is, then just think about a time when you felt bad, and you didn't want to feel bad – if it's your mind, and you are in control, then why can't you just STOP feeling bad right then and there, when you make the decision. The reason is, that your subconscious mind is running the show.
This is why life gets difficult when you start to accumulate a lot of unwanted negativity in your subconscious mind, from suppressing all of your negative feelings over the years.
So… This is where the release technique, or letting go comes in. By using the technique that is taught in The Abundance Course, we learn how to literally tune into our subconscious garbage, and clear it out, feeling by feeling. You see, all of our subconsious garbage or suppressed emotional content, gets stored into our subconsious minds, and we experience that as feelings or emotions in the now.
So whenever you think about something in your life, or in the past that you didn't like, you will notice that there is an uncomfortable feeling, or emotional upset associated with that memory (basically all thoughts are memories by the way, because as soon as we have a thought about something, it's a reaction to the already passed present moment).
If you're understanding what I have written here, then you will probably be starting to get an idea of just how powerful this is!
If you have control over your subconscious mind, then you pretty much have the ultimate control over your life. Why do you think in the past things have been so difficult to make happen? Like when you have a goal, you know what you need to do to make it happen, but for some reason you just can't get yourself to take action, and take the steps to achieve it. This is because your subconscious mind, with it's limiting feelings, was getting in the way.
So by releasing, you can clear out your internal blocks, and start to take the actions in your life that will move you to where you want to be. Simple stuff hey?! Now, I just want to say here, that of course, while the technique works, you still have to apply yourself, and follow along with what Larry Crane (the voice behind The Abundance Course) actually tells you to do. If nothing moves, nothing changes!
Probably even more importantly than allowing you to clear the blocks that have been stopping you from achieving your goals, is the fact that as you release all your suppressed negative feelings, using this method, you will start to experience the peace and joy that are natural to you as a way of being. This is one of the natural benefits of releasing. In fact, I probably didn't mention this before, but releasing IS NATURAL. children naturally let go of stuff all the time, it's just that we get trained out of it inadvertently by adults, as we are growing up.
Anyway, as you can tell by reading this article (and if you have made it all the way this far, thanks for reading!) I am totally for the material taught in this course, and it has my highest recommendation. Obviously what I have discussed is really only a brief overview of how it works, but my aim was just to give you an idea. If you want to find out more, then click here, or you can click on any of the banners on this page.
Thanks for reading, and good luck to you on your releasing journey!

I forget which celebration I was attending when I saw the box of Back To Nature Crispy Wheat Crackers but thanks to whoever brought them! They taste just like Wheat Thins but have a slightly healthier profile to them. They are free of partially hydrogenated oils and made with a pretty short list of ingredients. There are no artificial ingredients either! A serving is a hefty 17 crackers but it rings it at just 130 calories – not bad! The only thing that would make these crackers better is if they were made with whole wheat flour to add some more fiber to them. Even without the fiber they are a cracker worth crunching on when you need one. They are great with reduced fat cheese or hummus!

The HTC One V is the company's latest low-cost Android phone.
Note: The HTC One V is yet to officially release in Australia. Our review unit is an imported model from Australian online store MobiCity.
Design and display
The HTC One V may be smaller and cheaper than the rest of the company's One range, but it's certainly tough to describe this as a budget smartphone. The unibody aluminium design is a HTC trademark that we've come to know and love over the years and the end result is no different on the One V. Build quality feels superb, with no creaks or rattles when the casing is pressed. The end result is a smartphone that feels like a premium device, making a mockery of its supposed "budget" market position.
The One V gets its inspiration from the HTC Legend, a phone that launched back in 2010 and was widely regarded as one of the best looking devices of its time. Like the Legend, the One V has an angled lip at the bottom. It's less pronounced on the One V but gives the phone a distinct look. We feel it only adds to the overall character of this device, especially since the edge angles towards your mouth when the phone is held up to your ear. The downside to the design is that the battery is not removable.
Like the One X, the One XL and the One S, HTC deserves a lot of credit for a few classy touches. The power and volume buttons are perfectly positioned, easy to press and provide excellent tactility. The capacitive shortcut keys (back, home, multitasking) are responsive and backlit. There are no annoying flaps or doors hiding the headphone jack or the micro-USB port. However, the screen is slightly raised and the edges are sharp and tend to dig into your fingers regardless of how you grip the One V. It's not a huge issue, but it can quickly become uncomfortable.
The HTC One V has a 3.7in TFT display with a resolution of 480x800. It's obviously no match for larger, higher resolution panels that adorn the latest flagship Android phones, but it was never intended to be. Considering the One V is a budget, entry-level handset, its screen is bright, clear and responsive. In fact, the display is undoubtedly one of the best features of this phone.
Software and performance
The HTC One V runs Google's 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich software, which makes it one of the first low-end smartphones to natively run the latest version of Android. The One V again features the Sense 4.0 UI, which HTC says attempts to simplify an interface that was previously considered too cluttered.
The new version of HTC's Sense is very similar to the one seen on the One X, with a few exclusions. We love some of the software's less advertised touches, such as asking whether you'd like to save an incoming phone number as a new contact, the convenient four dock icon shortcuts on the lock screen and a slick suite of widgets, including HTC's almost iconic clock and weather widget.
Despite the One V's low-end specifications, this isn't a sluggish smartphone. Everyday actions like unlocking the home screen, opening and closing apps and swiping through home screens doesn't result in too much lag or slowdown. The One V isn't as blazing fast as HTC's top-end models, but it was never intended to be and performance won't pose an issue for the large majority of users.
While Sense is fairly user friendly, we still feel HTC has made plenty of changes for changes sake. The phone app offers excellent linking of contacts from multiple sources but the interface feels cluttered and doesn't achieve any consistency with the regular Android UI. The default Ice Cream Sandwich keyboard has been replaced by HTC's keyboard and is neither better looking or better implemented. Thankfully, the One V uses the regular Android multitasking menu which is both better implemented and more efficient than the version used on the company's higher end One phones.
Where the One V falls down is its paltry level of internal memory. The phone has 4GB of internal memory but only 1GB is available for app storage. You'll definitely need a microSD card if you want to install plenty of apps. Our review unit didn't come with a microSD card and without it there wasn't enough memory to install games like Need For Speed Shift, for example. Speaking of gaming, while titles like these are certainly playable, the overall level of performance isn't as smooth as we would have hoped. We suspect the rather low 512MB of RAM has plenty to do with this.
Camera, battery life and more
The HTC One V only has a 5-megapixel camera compared to the 8-megapixel snapper on the other One models, but the good news is that the One V retains most of the software features from the One range. Users can bypass the lock-screen and immediately jump into the camera app, though we did notice there was slight shutter lag when taking photos that wasn't present in other models. The One V allows you to take a photo while shooting HD video (called "double shutter") and can even allow you to capture a still image from an already recorded video. Holding your finger on the on-screen shutter button will enable burst mode. We also like the ability to add a range of real time effects including distortion, vignette, depth of field and sepia.
The quality of images captured by the HTC One V are a step below the rest of the HTC One range, however. Colour reproduction is acceptable and in many cases vibrant, but image noise is a real issue leaving most of the photos grainy and lacking in detail. Video recording quality is passable, though autofocus is very erratic with movement and struggles to deal with any changes in light. Disappointingly, the One V lacks a front facing camera for video calls.
The HTC One V comes with Dropbox integration and 25GB of free storage, while the music player can sync iTunes playlists automatically. The One V includes Beats Audio qualities, a direct result of HTC's "strategic partnership" with the Beats By Dr. Dre audio company. The Beats Audio profile noticeably enhances bass and works in all applications, not just the music player. However, unlike last year's HTC Sensation XL, the One V doesn't come bundled with a pair of Beats headphones.
The HTC One V has reasonably impressive battery life. We managed to achieve almost a full day of moderate use before needing a recharge. Power users will undoubtedly still need to recharge before the end of the day, but most other users should be well served.
HTC hasn't announced Australian pricing or availability details for the One V. It can currently be purchased through online mobile phone store MobiCity.

The old Colonel had risen and taken the paper, and now held it with a firm grasp, as if it might blow away with the rising wind.
He had decided to let it stand or blow away, as fortune might decide.
They blow away the cobwebs of the mind and clear the brain for serious thinking.
The grass was white and dry, and ready to blow away with any wind.
For an instant only, however, he stood, trying to wipe the sting of the blow away.
You shall see, mother, when he is in the world and knows better, all that will blow away.

"move air," Old English blawan "blow, breathe, make an air current; kindle; inflate; sound a wind instrument" (class VII strong verb; past tense bleow, past participle blawen), from Proto-Germanic *blæ-anan (cf. Old High German blaen, German blähen), from PIE *bhle- "to swell, blow up" (cf. Latin flare "to blow"), possibly identical with *bhel- (2) "to blow, swell" (see bole).
Meaning "to squander" (of money) is from 1874. Sense of "depart suddenly" is from 1902. Slang "do fellatio on" sense is from 1933, as blow (someone) off, originally among prostitutes (cf. blow job). This usage probably is not connected to the colloquial imprecation (1781, associated with sailors, e.g. Popeye's "well, blow me down!"), which has past participle blowed. Meaning "to spend (money) foolishly and all at once" is 1890s; that of "bungle an opportunity" is from 1943. To blow over "pass" is from 1610s, originally of storms. To blow (someone's) mind was in use by 1967; there is a song title "Blow Your Mind" released in a 1965 Mirawood recording by a group called The Gas Company.
"to bloom, blossom" (intransitive), from Old English blowan "to flower, blossom, flourish," from Proto-Germanic *blæ- (cf. Old Saxon bloian, Old Frisian bloia, Middle Dutch and Dutch bloeien, Old High German bluoen, German blühen), from PIE *bhle-, extended form of *bhel- (2) "to blow, inflate, swell" (see bole). This word is the source of the blown in full-blown.
"hard hit," mid-15c., blowe, from northern and East Midlands dialects, perhaps from Middle Dutch blouwen "to beat," a common Germanic word of unknown origin (cf. German bleuen, Gothic bliggwan "to strike"). Influenced in English by blow (v.1). In reference to descriptions or accounts, blow-by-blow is recorded from 1921, American English, originally of prize-fight broadcasts.
LIKE a hungry kitten loves its saucer of warm milk, so do radio fans joyfully listen to the blow-by-blow broadcast description of a boxing bout. ["The Wireless Age," December 1922]
"a blowing, a blast," 1650s, from blow (v.1).

In a recently published study' researchers found that those living on the Greek island of Ikaria had a healthier and longer life span due to their daily intake of strong coffee. The researchers also report that the healthy endothelial function supported by coffee compounds may play a major role in this longevity effect.
Not all coffee delivers the same powerful health benefits and longevity dividend. When it comes to obtaining coffee's full range of health benefits' most people aren't getting their money's worth.
The reason? Most of the coffee bean's polyphenol content is destroyed during the roasting process. Among the most beneficial of these polyphenols is chlorogenic acid' a potent inhibitor of the glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme that stimulates gluconeogenesis. (Excess gluconeogenesis results in too much glucose produced in the liver that can cause elevations of blood glucose.)
Life Extension®'s Rich Rewards® Breakfast Blend is made using a patented' 100% natural process called Healthy-Roast™. This process delivers a more complete nutritional profile of the coffee bean' yielding chlorogenic acid levels far greater than other premium brands—up to 87% more chlorogenic acid than conventional coffees. Handpicked deep in the rainforests of Central America' Rich Rewards® consists exclusively of 100% USDA certified organic Arabica coffee beans' gently roasted in small batches and ground for easy brewing.
To make your morning cup of coffee even more enjoyable' Life Extension® now offers our Rich Rewards® Breakfast Blend Ground Coffee in two delicious flavors:
1) Natural vanilla flavor.
2) Natural mocha flavor.
And like our regular' unflavored Rich Rewards® coffee' these flavored ground coffees are roasted using the same HealthyRoast™ process—which preserves special' naturally occurring compounds in coffee that soothe your stomach. This unique process also guarantees a higher content of healthy polyphenols.
Now' those who prefer a flavored coffee—as well as those who find that ordinary coffee brands upset their stomach—can enjoy the potent longevity support that daily coffee consumption delivers.
Life Extension® Rich Rewards® Breakfast Blend Ground Coffee provides it all:
1) Savory taste—regular coffee taste or two natural flavored options.
2) Far higher percentage of chlorogenic acid than conventional coffees.
3) Certified 100% organic.
4) Special' naturally occurring compounds that soothe your stomach.

If you look at the Henry Hub natural gas prices, you notice they've moved from below $2 to $3.34 since April. While still solidly in a long term downtrend, the improvement comes as welcome news to low cost producers such as Range Resources (NYSE:RRC).
Production growth plus lower expenses equals profit upside for investors.
Range's production in Q3 came in 47% higher than a year ago, at 790 million cubic feet equivalent per day. This marked 10% growth from the prior quarter and sets the company up for 35% full year production growth.
At the same time production is growing, the shift away from natural gas drilling and lessons learned from actively developing in its resource rich Marcellus acreage helped cash direct operating cost fall from $0.58 per mcfe to $0.40 per mcfe, down 30%. Overall, the company's field level expenses have fallen 12% year-to-date from 2011.
A tight fist on G&A expenses is also helping margins. Cash G&A fell $0.07 to $0.46 per Mcfe in the past year. And refinancing to lower rates cut interest expense $0.08 to $0.61 per Mcfe over the past year.
Overall, the cash margin for Q3 clocked in at $2.56 per Mcfe, up from $2.34 in Q2.
Future production growth in the Marcellus offers plenty of opportunity.
The company owns 335k net acres in the wet portion of the Marcellus Shale and it's keenly focused on boosting production there to further bump up its realized effective prices.
To make sure there are willing buyers for this new development, the company has inked deals to supply propane and ethane from the region.
Its involvement with the Mariner East NGL pipeline will allow Range to transport 40k boe of processed liquids from MarkWest Houston Pennsylvania to Sunoco's Markus Hook terminal near Philadelphia. It also gives the company access to a portion of 1 million barrels of propane storage.
This facility will service Range's 15 year ethane agreement with Eneos, a global specialty chemical and oil products company, who has contracted for up to 20k boe of Range's ethane beginning in the first half of 2015.
The company also participates in Mariner West, which should start up in the middle of next year and ramp to 15k bbl of ethane per day. This ethane will be bought by Novo Chemical for use in Canada.
It's participation in the ATEX project, which will move ethane to the Gulf Coast beginning in 2014, will absorb another 20k barrels per day too.
Overall, those three deals represent roughly 1.8 Bcf per day and suggest a doubling of Range's wet production -at the low end - from Marcellus by mid to late 2016.
Further, those deals are expected to boost effective prices by $0.40 per mcf once underway. That's pretty compelling, given the company wet realized prices are already about double dry gas realized prices.
All in, Range has 570k net acres just in liquids rich Southwest Marcellus, 235k of which is dry gas. Over time, the company believes production from its Marcellus acreage could increase to 2 to 3 Bcfe per day.
Additional resource growth is out there too.
Additionally, its Marcellus acreage gives it exposure to both the Upper Devonian and Utica Shales, giving it significant leverage to develop those resources over time.
The company's dry gas activity is also set to slow, providing cost benefits as assets are shifted to the more lucrative wet acreage, not only in Marcellus but in the Mississippian in North Oklahoma and Southern Kansas. Range expects it will cut dry Marcellus rigs from 4 to 5 to 1 next year, helping reduce its capital spending while still allowing for 20-25% production growth company wide.
In the Mississippian, the company plans to significantly ramp activity on its 156k net acres. Currently, Range recently completed its second well, both of which exceed 1000 boe per day. As a result, Range expects to move from 5 to 15 rigs there from 2013 through 2015.
The company has also been smart about unloading non-core assets, raising $1.8 billion through asset sales since 2004. In Q3, the company announced another $170 million worth of non-core sales, which further helps its balance sheet.
The combination of production upside against lower costs suggests investors may be well rewarded through the seasonally strong winter months. Range has helped insulate risk through its hedging program and enters Q4 with roughly 3/4 of 2013 production and roughly half of its 2014 production hedged.
Given the stock has finished Q4 higher in 9 of the past 10 years, producing a median return of 12.17%, now may be a good time to put Range into portfolios. This strength is reflected in the following chart, which shows Range's average monthly returns in Q4 versus the S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY).

Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly received about $4 million in compensation for 2012, a 15% increase from 2011 that came mostly on bigger stock awards.
That's according to The Associated Press, which writes "the airline said in a regulatory filing on Friday that Kelly, who also is the company's chairman, was paid a salary of $675,000 and a $961,000 bonus last year, both 4% increases from 2011."
AP adds "the bulk of Kelly's compensation was in stock awards, which Southwest valued at $2.25 million on the day they were granted. He also received $129,802 in other compensation including contributions to retirement plans and security around his home."
In its filing with Securities and Exchange Commission, Southwest asserted that Kelly's compensation below the median for the top executives of similarly sized companies.
The Dallas Morning Newsadds a bit of perspective to Kelly's pay, noting Alaska Air CEO Brad Tilden's compensation package for 2012 was valued at about $5.7 million. That, the Morning News reports, included "$419,614 in base salary, no bonus, $3,160,012 in stock awards, $442,002 in option awards, $684,528 in non-equity compensation, $883,208 in change in pension value and non-qualified deferred compensation earnings and $102,008 in all other compensation."
The Alaska Air Group, which includes Alaska Airlines and regional subsidiary Horizon Air, is a major player along the West Coast, but is much smaller in size and scale than Southwest.
Back to Southwest, the company added in its filling with the SEC that its board granted stock awards to Kelly for a "strong performance" that included work on modernizing Southwest's fleet and integrating AirTran, a rival Southwest acquired in 2011.
In 2012, Southwest's net income more than doubled to $421 million from $178 million in 2011. The results were helped by paper gains on fuel-hedging contracts. Revenue rose 9% to $16.09 billion on higher fares and more passengers, but operating costs climbed 10% because of increased spending for labor, fuel and maintenance.
Shares of Dallas-based Southwest, the nation's fourth-biggest airline, climbed nearly 20% during 2012 and were up another 25% since the start of 2013, through Thursday's close. Airline stocks have benefited from consolidation, as investors expect a series of mergers to increase the pricing power and profitability of the remaining carriers.
Kelly joined Southwest in 1986 and held a succession of finance jobs including chief financial officer. He was named CEO in 2004 and added the chairman's title in 2008.

Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE:CHK): Closing price $18.95
Aubrey McClendon said on Tuesday that he is stepping down from his position with Chesapeake, effective April 1st, because he has "certain philosophical differences with the new Board." In commemoration of the event, the activist investor Carl Icahn, following his contention that the firm needed greater corporate governance controls, praised McClendon, saying in part that "Aubrey has every right to be proud of the company he has built, the world class team of people at Chesapeake and the collection of assets he has assembled, which in my opinion, are the best portfolio of energy assets in the country. While it is known that some of these assets will be sold by the company in due course, I do not believe that this will in any way effect the ultimate realization of Chesapeake's potential."

Seated between two fellow reporters I ordered a Reuben sandwich and sipped from a tall glass of ice water.
The man who would come to be known as Roy Masters was born Reuben Obermeister in 1920s London.
"She was born into slavery," Reuben said of her character, Elizabeth Keckley.
Sennacherib, who sat near Reuben in the music-gallery, nudged him with his elbow.
"He was very independent, was my brother Reuben, always," said the squire.
Adèle, then, is sick; and upon that point alone in the Aunt's letter the thought of Reuben fastens.
Let us return to Number 23 and summon Reuben, who will possibly know where she has gone.
The next day Mrs. Whitney and Reuben moved, with all their belongings, to Lewes.
At the watercourses of Reuben There were great searchings of heart!
Now when it was too late, Ben saw his outbreak as a betrayal of Reuben, a betrayal of trust.
masc. proper name, Old Testament eldest son of Jacob and name of the tribe descended from him, from Greek Rouben, from Hebrew Reubhen, probably literally "Behold a son," from reu, imperative of ra'ah "he saw" + ben "a son." As a typical name of a farmer, rustic, or country bumpkin, from 1804. The reuben sandwich (1956) is "Not obviously connected" with the sense in rube [OED], possibly from Reuben's restaurant, a popular spot in New York's Lower East Side.
behold a son!, the eldest son of Jacob and Leah (Gen. 29:32). His sinful conduct, referred to in Gen. 35:22, brought down upon him his dying father's malediction (48:4). He showed kindness to Joseph, and was the means of saving his life when his other brothers would have put him to death (37:21,22). It was he also who pledged his life and the life of his sons when Jacob was unwilling to let Benjamin go down into Egypt. After Jacob and his family went down into Egypt (46:8) no further mention is made of Reuben beyond what is recorded in ch. 49:3,4.
