Fender and Iron Maiden's Steve Harris Precision
For more than three decades, Steve Harris's galloping fleet-fingered basslines have turbocharged U.K. metal titans Iron Maiden and have made him the most influential metal bassist alive.
Harris has stayed true to his battle-hardened Fender Precision Bass guitar over the years, and Fender now honors him with the Artist Signature Series Steve Harris Precision Bass.
This bass features a regally cool Royal Blue Metallic sparkle finish, with a chromed mirror pickguard, alder body, vintage-tint one-piece maple neck and fingerboard with 20 medium-jumbo frets, a Badass® II bridge, Seymour Duncan® Basslines SPB-1 split-coil Precision Bass pickup, chrome hardware, Steve Harris signature Rotosound® custom flat-wound strings and Harris's signature on the back of the headstock. Deluxe gig bag included.
As the driving force behind rockers Iron Maiden for more than 25 years, Steve Harris and his bass playing have opened new musical avenues that paved the way for a second British Invasion during the late '70s and early '80s. This time around it was heavy metal, and most bass players since will cite Steve Harris as their major influence.

Circuit Board Coffee Table: Great Reuse Of Old Tech
All the tech that we've got will have to be reused, recycled or dumped at some point in time. Tech garbage is on the rise, and it's great to see that someone found some creative use out of old tech. This is a unique-looking technological coffee table.
This computer board coffee table is made out of two actual tables. One is used to hold the computer board and one acts as the surface of the table. It was made by Dmaloney. The components that are inside of the table include boards and dives from old computers from the late eighties and early nineties. They were from his first computer, which is even cooler.
He fit together the parts kind of like a puzzle or playing Tetris in real life. The trick is to make it look filled with purpose. The LED light strips on the side of the table really give the table a nice feeling, since it lights up the components.
Dmaloney wired the lights up so they go on automatically when it gets dark. If you like the look, Doug Chase made a computer board bench that is also made out some circuit boards. All in all, it's a good idea to try and recycle or reuse your tech as much as possible before throwing it out. Preferably, you should donate it so that it can be of further use to someone.

Finally! Jean-Baptiste Queru (yes, husband of) has announced the source code release for Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich (technically, it's 4.0.1). Naturally, this code dump also happens to include the source code for Honeycomb - however, due to Honeycomb's incomplete nature, there's no tags available for it. Not interesting from a let's-build-it-and-code-point of view, but it is interesting for ROM hackers - bring it on, ICS for my Galaxy SII!

If there are any hard feelings between Milt Thompson and the Phillies over his recent firing as the club's hitting coach, the veteran baseball man was not letting on.
"I have nothing but praise for the Phillies and the organization," said Thompson, who was fired late Thursday night with the team mired in a lengthy offensive slump. "I've enjoyed it as a player and as a coach. They've treated me well... I'll be there alumni weekend."
The Phillies, who announced the move in a brief press release Thursday night, have not commented publicly on the move.
Thompson said he thinks the biggest problem with the Phillies offense is that the line-up has spent most of the season trying too hard to make up for the absences of key players like Jimmy Rollins, Placido Polanco and Chase Utley. Since Utley went down with a thumb injury in late June, the club is hitting just .233. In the 21 games immediately preceding the injury, they hit .263.
"I think they were just trying too hard to make up for the losses in the line-up," said Thompson.
Thompson said he is good friends with Greg Gross, a former Phillies teammate who will take over as hitting coach.
"I just wish the best for them. I hope GG comes in and gets them going," Thompson said. "He's a good friend and a great baseball man, and I wish him the best. If he can find a way to get these guys to relax throughout all of this, that'd be great."
Thompson said he is confident that he will find another job in the sport.
"I'm a baseball man for life," said Thompson, who lives in South Jersey. "I'm going to land on my feet. Take a little time off, relax -- I've been doing it for a long time -- and then put the resume together and go try to find antoher job."
Thompson was named the hitting coach in 2005, Charlie Manuel's first season as manager. The Phillies finished first in the National League in runs three times during his tenure and finished in the top three in the other three. Currently, they are sixth.

MARCH 18, 2014 – WHEN NOW-SUPREME COURT Justice Elena Kagan became the U.S. solicitor general in 2009, the popular Harvard Law dean had never actually argued before any appellate court, let alone the High Court. So how did she succeed in the job?
"I talked to pretty much every living solicitor general … about how the office worked – a lot of different things that have nothing to do with actually arguing the cases, but that go into being a successful solicitor general," Kagan told Dean William M. Treanor at the inaugural Dean's Lecture to the Graduating Class on March 17 at Georgetown Law.
The SGs, Kagan said, also talked to her about arguing – a good thing, since her first attempt before the Court would be the Citizens' United campaign finance case.
"Kind of a big argument," she said, to appreciative laughter.
The importance of listening, learning, working together and staying open to serendipitous good fortune were just a few of the tips that the Court's 112th justice had for the Class of 2014 on a snowy St. Patrick's Day visit. In the hourlong conversation, Kagan shared some surprising insights about her own aspirations.
She did not want to be a lawyer as a child, though her father was one. And, while she majored in history, she soon realized that the life of a historian was not for her: "I thought, I'll go to law school, I'll keep my options open, something will turn up."
As it turned out, she "loved every moment" of law school, even tax.
"I liked thinking through really complicated problems, but I also liked the fact that it wasn't purely a puzzle and purely abstract, that there were ways that people could use the law to actually make a difference…" Kagan said. "I think I hoped to have a career where I could experience a lot of different things."
She said she was extremely lucky to have mentors like Judge Abner J. Mikvah and Justice Thurgood Marshall. (Kagan clerked for both.)
"If you are not inspired… you are a little bit dead to the world," she said of Marshall. "It was a lesson in what law can accomplish."
In true Supreme Court fashion, Kagan ended the conversation by questioning Treanor. As it turns out, the deans share similar career philosophies – teamwork is critical, they said, and while goals are important, life doesn't always happen as planned.
"The lawyers who are happy are the lawyers who find some way to accomplish something for people outside themselves," Kagan advised the graduates, "[and] the kind of work that you do, because it makes a difference in the world, is going to fill you with a sense of 'mission accomplished' during that day."

It's game over for NFL replacements.
The regular officials are coming back.
The NFL and NFL Referees Assn. reached an agreement on an eight-year deal late Wednesday that immediately puts the regulars back on the field, beginning with the game Thursday night between Cleveland and Baltimore.
"Our officials will be back on the field starting tomorrow night," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement released after midnight on the East Coast. "We appreciate the commitment of the NFLRA in working through the issues to reach this important agreement."
The deal lifts a lockout that lasted almost four months and puts to rest the fiasco of inexperienced replacement officials, whose slipshod performances cast a shadow on the credibility of the nation's most popular and successful sports league.


text: While the Indians' season passes over the real half-way point and draws closer to the "Midsummer Classic" with their best three offensive players coming into the season on the DL and with the extended auditions continuing in earnest around the diamond, the opinion that the starting staff has been the most pleasant surprise of the 2010 season isn't really an opinion at all – it has become a fact. While the overall 4.49 ERA of the starters remains underwhelming, as it ranks the team 11th of the 14 MLB teams, the perception coming into the season that the rotation would not only be the team's undoing, but also the weak link well past this season has to be amended to a degree. Though the Indians' current rotation isn't going to remind anyone of the 1954 staff of Garcia, Lemon, Wynn, and Feller, coming into the season, the thought was pervasive that the Indians' rotation would be a constantly-evolving, consistently nauseating group of arms either attempting to re-establish themselves in MLB or gaining a toehold in a Big League rotation. With Carmona headed off to the All-Star team, Justin Masterson riding a 7-game "mini-wave" in which he's posted a 3.59 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP, and Mitch Talbot sitting on a 3.86 ERA after more than 100 MLB IP, the Indians may have essentially identified three pitchers that whose names they can write in pen into the rotation, for 2011 at least. While those three still may represent middle-to-back-end-of-the-rotation arms for a perennial contender, the renaissance of Fausto and the recent adjustments of Masterson in particular project some optimism for the future from the rubber. While looking at those two players in particular (Carmona and Masterson) an interesting statistical trend jumps out at you and looking into it further, a bona fide trend is emerging in the Indians' organization. Once you look past the fact that the Indians' rotation strikes out the fewest batters (5.22 K/9) in the AL and have the second highest WHIP (1.45) in the AL, you start to realize that the fact that the Indians seem to be loading up on big, power, groundball-inducing arms starts to take shape. However, the trend isn't just applying to the likes of Carmona and Masterson as it goes up and down the organization. Before delving into that, consider for a moment how the Indians' starters this year rank in Ground Ball Percentage, Fly Ball Percentage, and Ratio of Ground Balls to Fly Balls: GB% - 52.5% (highest in MLB for starters) FB% - 30.6% (lowest in MLB for starters) GB/FB – 1.72 (highest in MLB for starters) It bears mentioning that no team's rotation has topped the 52% GB rate since the 2005 Cardinals and those Cardinals' starters are, in fact, the only rotation to top that number in the last 10 years in MLB...yet that's where the Tribe's rotation sits more than half-way through the season. Realizing that the average GB% for MLB pitchers is about 45%, take a look at the Indians' rotation and their GB% in the context of all qualified MLB Starting Pitchers: Masterson – 64.2 GB% (2nd in MLB) Carmona – 58.1 GB% (4th in MLB) Westbrook – 52.8 GB% (12th in MLB) Talbot – 49.7 GB% (26th in MLB) How about those same players' GB/FB and rank among all qualified MLB Starting Pitchers: Masterson – 3.11 GB/FB (2nd in MLB) Carmona – 2.01 GB/FB (7th in MLB) Westbrook – 1.90 GB/FB (9th in MLB) Talbot – 1.49 GB/FB (31st in MLB) Talbot's ratios certainly pale in comparison to the numbers of the other three bona-fide sinkerballers, but consider that Talbot's GB% in his MiLB career was 53.9% and was over 54% for both the 2007 and 2008 seasons in AAA, which (unlike his 2009) were uninterrupted by injury. Going further, while Westbrook does not necessarily figure into the mix for 2011 and beyond, let's not forget that The Babyfaced Bulldog just re-joined the rotation – Aaron Laffey, he of the 61.3 GB% in his MiLB career. Although, as an aside here on Laffey, it is interesting to note that the GB% for Laffey has continuously dropped, both in the Minors and in MLB: 2006 (Kinston/Akron) – 62.5 GB% 2007 (Akron/Buffalo) – 62.2 GB% 2007 (Cleveland) – 62.4 GB% 2008 (Buffalo) – 54.4 GB% 2008 (Cleveland) – 51.1 GB% 2009 (Akron/Columbus) – 45.5 GB% 2009 (Cleveland) – 48.9 GB% 2010 (Columbus) – 45.1 GB% 2010 (Cleveland) – 49.3 GB% Laffey's GB/FB has remained pretty consistently in the 1.6 range in MLB (still way down from his career MiLB GB/FB of 2.49), but his GB% has plummeted over the last three years in partcular, something that certainly bears watching...and something that maybe even provides an answer as to why Laffey seems to have flat-lined in the past three years. But I digress... Back to this high GB% that the Indians' two most promising arms going forward (Carmona and Masterson) share as, after reading the phenomenal write-up by my Beyond the Boxscore colleague Satchel Price (and it really is worth a read), I was struck by him writing that last year's #1 pick Alex White has been inducing groundballs at a rapid rate on the farm this year. Look a little deeper into the Layer Cake of arms and there's Alex White and his 57.8 GB% in Kinston and Akron this year (his GB% is 55.5% in his MiLB career) perhaps projecting as a rotational option in 2011 or 2012 with the Indians' next logical promotion to the rotation, Carlos Carrasco, posting the highest GB% of his MiLB career since low-A ball in Columbus. No seriously, Carrasco's 47.8 GB% in Columbus, while not reaching Mastersonian levels, is an uptick from the 40.6% last year and represents a healthy increase over his career 43.8 GB% that he's compiled in his MiLB career. While these high GB% numbers certainly aren't universal among all Indians' starters up and down the system, it is worth mentioning that the 3rd Round Pick from last year's draft, Joe Gardner, is sitting an on almost incomprehensible 70.8 GB% in Lake County and Kinston this year as he has rocketed into relevance (he's also struck out 99 hitters in 88 1/3 IP this year) on the prospect map. Just to put what Gardner has done in his first professional season, he has faced 345 batters, has struck out 97 of them (28.1%) and has induced groundballs from 138 of the hitters (40%), meaning that nearly 70% of the hitters that he's faced have either whiffed or hit grounders. It has to be asked about all these groundball pitchers then…what gives here – is this merely a statistical anomaly, or maybe simply a matter of finding and analyzing the pitchers most likely to induce grounders in the organization? Given the fact that Masterson, Talbot, White, and Gardner all joined the organization last year and that Carrasco's GB% number has jumped significantly this year in AAA, I think that something is larger at play here. While I'm not going to jump to the "groundball pitchers are the new market inefficiency" card, it represents more than just a mere coincidence that the Indians suddenly find themselves with pitchers whose GB% project to be higher than the MLB average, sometimes MUCH higher. Whether the Indians have attempted to target pitchers who may have fallen "under the radar" because of lower K rates and higher GB rates (because every team is looking for high-K pitchers) in some of their recent acquisitions can certainly be debated. It is possible that, given that the team could be looking for angles to stockpile as many arms as possible to overcome attrition and injury rates, it certainly represents an interesting strategy. One would think that the movement toward more GB pitchers would prompt some acquisitions to improve the infield defense (how does everyone like Sonny Nix?) and the trade of Branyan and the coming trade of Peralta will likely improve the infield defense, if even by virtue of addition by subtraction. However, the sudden predilection that the Indians have for groundball-inducing pitchers (and a lot of them) is too obvious and top-heavy in the organization to ignore. While watching Carmona and Masterson (and maybe Talbot and Laffey) serve up those pitches that quickly find their way into the ground for the rest of the year, realize that there could be more of that on the way to the pitching mound in the coming years as the infield grass and dirt at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario could become well-worn.

With only two months remaining in his term, Elgin Town Councilman Larry Risvold has resigned. Risvold did so by sending a letter to Mayor Brad Hanley which the mayor read to other members of council at their meeting Jan. 8.
Personal coffers may be depleted as a direct result from the holidays, but that doesn't mean that the giving needs to stop. January is National Blood Drive Month -- which provides plenty of opportunities for residents to roll up their sleeves and donate some of life-saving liquid.
The Camden police and fire departments expressed concern about Monday's upcoming four-day closure of two key railroad crossings in the city's Dusty Bend community during a Camden City Council work session Tuesday afternoon. Interim City Manager Mel Pearson highlighted the closures and arranged for Camden Police Department (CPD) Chief Joe Floyd and Camden Fire Department (CFD) Chief John Bowers to speak to council.
The S.C. Equine Center, located east of Camden near I-20 exit 101, is looking for some help to expand from the city of Camden.
Morris Pest Control tech Tony Cooper had just finished up a job for a customer when he saw a car on the side of McRae Road as he headed back into Camden.
A man who jumped out of a van and shot at four Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) deputies Thursday night is now in jail. Kershaw County Sheriff Jim Matthews said deputies arrested Ernest Maurice Allen, a.k.a., Ernest Pickett, 25, around 3:15 p.m. Friday in Lee County.

We still don't think Michael Wilbon's chat comments were in particularly good taste — and who's more experts on good taste than us? — but he's not the only one questioning whether the death of Sean Taylor was just some random break-in. Cardinals cornerback Antrel Rolle, who also went to the U and knew Taylor, is mincing no words.
Rolle makes it clear, without having any specific inside knowledge, that he doesn't think this was random at all.
He really didn't say too much," Rolle said, "but I know he lived his life pretty much scared every day of his life when he was down in Miami because those people were targeting him. At least, he's got peace now."
"They say it was a burglary. It absolutely was not a burglary," he said. "Down South, where we're from, there were many people talking to Sean, a lot of jealousy, a lot of angry people."
We're not sure this was the kind of peace Sean was looking for, Antrel, but thanks for your input. We're gonna know a heckuva lot more in a week than we do now.

My dogs, my blog, Nicole Richie, planning things, my future and my hair.
Nicole Richie, I love her clothes, accessories, hair, make-up, everything! I have to admit though I preferred her when she was a bit wilder :)
Chanel but I will probably never own anything apart from sunglasses, unless I win the lottery.
I don't have 1 inparticular, I love so many types of music! I like 'Free As A Bird' by The Beatles as it's a beautiful song and makes me feel happy. It sort of reminds me of old times and being a teenager which I like. I love 'Just A Girl' by No Doubt and anything by them reminds me of my best friend.
A bag of Revels because sometimes I'm hard, sometimes I'm squishy and sometimes I'm sweet!
Postboxes, calypso lollies, cheese, bogeys, the ocean, and my favourite pjs which are both indigo & violet :)
The Notebook (sooooo original, not!) I love this film. Even though it's sad and makes me cry it makes me happy too. Ryan Gosling is gorge and I could watch it over and over and never get bored. I'm also a fan of anything from the 80s like The Goonies, Return to Oz, The Labyrinth, The Lost Boys, Back To The Future..
Shia LaBeouf because he is bloomin gorgeous.
On a private beach, sunbathing, reading, with waiter service and pure peace and quiet!
Tea, cake and prawns in marie rose sauce.
I think it would be my photo albums and boxes of photos. They hold so many memories and I would be very sad if I lost them. Also a couple of watches:- my Juicy Couture watch that my boyfriend got me for Christmas and my Dior watch from my parents for my 18th birthday.
I always wanted to be a Vet but science wasn't my best subject. Then I really wanted to be a famous author/journalist. Then I wanted to be an airline pilot. Needless to say I haven't done any of those things and I'm still trying to figure out which direction to head in!
I would be chocolate chip cookie dough as it is blatantly the best ice-cream ever!
Drew Barrymore. I like her coz she's quirky and beautiful and likeable - not that I'm any of those 3 things! lol.
I would go to the park with my dogs and sit in the sun. I would meet my best friend for a hot chocolate and a chat. I would go for a massage/pedicure/facial. Then I would watch a girly film or 2 and then cuddle with my bf.
Probably a daffodil because they are a happy kind of flower.
I like the Shakespeare quote "come what come may, time and the hour runs through the roughest day". I heard it once and have never forgotten it.

We are in the middle of a global obesity epidemic. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980. As obesity rates increase, so does the risk of contracting a range of other serious conditions, including diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The level of childhood obesity is particularly concerning. In 2013, 42 million children under the age of 5 were classed as overweight or obese.
Hidden sugars in processed foods are partly to blame. These include products that are – based on their calorie intake – labelled "healthy" when they are in fact high in sugar, such as fruit juices, sports drinks and some yogurts.
Another issue is the portion size of packaged products. Often what we expect to be one serving are actually two or more, facts which are only stated in very fine print on the back of the product label.
Consumption of a few of these processed foods a day can easily push you past the daily recommended sugar intake.
Following a public consultation, WHO released a recommended guideline for daily intake of free sugars earlier this year. It strongly recommends that sugars should make up less than 10% of total daily energy intake, adding that if daily intake was further reduced to less than 5%, consumers could expect additional health benefits.
To tackle the problems caused by too much sugar, some countries – such as Hungary, France, Mexico and some US states – have introduced taxes on sugary drinks and/or junk food. The taxes are passed on to the consumer through higher prices in the hope that it will curb consumption of the products. The UK, Ireland and Canada meanwhile have taken another approach, restricting advertising of foods with high sugar content to children.
Pressure on companies
As a result, food and beverage companies have come under pressure to adapt to changing societal expectations.
For those acknowledging the issue, they have to consider their business strategy, labelling, marketing and advertising. Companies need to ask themselves whether they reposition their brand in healthier market segments. Do they reformulate current products or create new lines? How can they improve their product placement and labelling to make it clearer and more transparent? What other social initiatives can they undertake to address the obesity crisis?
In addition, we cannot forget that sugar is only part of the problem. The levels of fat and salt in food products also need to be reduced. Companies such as Nestlé and Unilever are on the right track, having nutritional strategies and targets in place to cut the sugar, salt and fat content of their products.
We will continue to talk to the companies we engage with about their nutritional strategies and how they can play a part in solving this costly crisis.

Description: Petty knives are perfect for detail tasks and can be used either as paring knives or as slicing knives. The thin, distal tapered blade is perfect for slicing fruit, vegetables, or meat.
The blade is forged using the san mai technique - a hard steel forms the cutting edge and is sandwiched between softer layers of steel. This results in a strong knife with very long edge holding. The core steel is aogami #2 carbon steel -- among the best carbon steels coming out of Japan. It was heat treated to Hrc 60-61) for a high performance, durable edge. A distal taper results in a perfect balance. The satin finished (migaki) sides of the knife have been convex ground to help food fall away from the side of the knife when slicing and chopping.
The bubinga handle fits comfortably and securely in the hand. It is formed from warm toned bubinga. The tang locks into the wood handle with a unique mechanism resulting in one of the strongest and most durable handles found on any knife. Each knife is sent in a nice gift box.

I'm not ready for summer to end. Nope, not at all. Winter here was cold and snowy and dragged on and on well into spring. My oldest didn't get out of school until the last week of June. He starts up again tomorrow, and our youngest will be joining him, trying out kindergarten. I have all sorts of mixed feelings about this. My heart is in homeschooling and all the serendipitous connections and freedom it allows. Watching my kids learn is amazing. I am sad about the academic-looking daily schedule we received that has no block labeled "playtime," the 20 minutes allotted for lunch, the increased demands placed upon younger and younger children. But my extroverted girl wants to try it, so I'm swallowing my tongue, practically, at times and giving it a go.
On the plus side, I'm hoping our middle child thrives with the focused parent time with no sibling distractions. He'll still be home, and he's most excited about our new microscope.
After looking at a few choices for science curriculum, he decided upon R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey Biology, and I'm super excited. I'm also impressed with the scope of what it covers, and how. (I have a degree in Wildlife Biology and took college courses in ecology, genetics, biology, and botany.) He'll be using this microscope quite a bit.
He also requested a curriculum to improve his spelling. He told me he'd enjoy writing better if he didn't have to ask me to spell so many words for him. He had spelling lists in kindergarten and first and second grade while schooled, and predictably, he wasn't at all interested in rote memorization of spelling words at that age. I don't feel it's developmentally appropriate, and felt that spelling would either come around as he gained mastery of reading, or he'd be motivated to improve it himself. And lo and behold, he is. After looking at several options, I chose Sequential Spelling.
We'll be continuing to use Story of the World (we're up to Volume 3) and A History of US for history, and Singapore Math for math. He reads voraciously, and writing happens organically. We'll also be setting aside time for projects.
This spring and summer, we've been learning more about what makes our middle child tick and where he could use some extra support. Slowly, we're building ourselves a village to help with this. It was suggested that I attend this seminar on executive functioning, and I have to say, I'm looking forward to it. Not the long drive or the long day, but getting useful information that I can implement at home, definitely. I'm glad we have the resources to send me to it.
So that's where I'm at–sad that summer is ending, that it was so short, but trying to get in gear for a new season. I'm not happy about the shortening days, the crispness to the morning air, the signs of impending coldness and darkness. It feels like we only just emerged from winter! But I'm optimistic about what N and I can accomplish without distractions, and hopeful that my daughter enjoys kindergarten (because she is so excited about it) and that my oldest is finally challenged now that he's in 7th grade. Transitions.

FRANKLIN � Fire departments from 11 towns battled a brush fire on Wednesday that blackened 24 acres of woodland deep in the Franklin State Forest.
Franklin Fire Chief Gary McCarraher called the fire "suspicious." He said three separate brush fires merged around 3 p.m., creating one large smoky blaze that firefighters had to struggle to reach with tanker trucks. Wind kept the fire moving and made its course harder to predict.
"It wasn�t accessible to our hydrants, so we had to bring the tankers in," he said.
Over the scanner, firefighters frequently could be heard calling for crews to "charge the line."
At one point, the fire burned about 200 yards from a condominium complex on Forge Hill Road, McCarraher said, but didn�t damage any homes in the area.
"We had structure protection teams in place in case the fire moved to that area," he said.
Firefighters responded from Bellingham, Foxborough, Franklin, Hopedale, Hopkinton, Medway, Mendon, Milford, Millis, Walpole and Wrentham. The Bristol County forestry task force assisted. And a state police helicopter hovered over the flames, relaying information to the crews on the ground.
"We got help from every town that touches us," McCarraher said, adding that no firefighters were injured.
They worked until late Wednesday evening soaking remaining hot spots.

T-Mobile recently tweeted that their first HSPA+ handset was going to be unveiled in the coming weeks and now a teaser site just went live. Included in the source code for the site is the codename Vanguard, which is a HTC phone spotted in the leaked T-Mobile roadmap.
The HTC Vanguard was scheduled to launch September 9th, 2010 which lines up with the end of summer target that T-Mobile announced for their first HSPA+ handset. Some sites are speculating this device could be the rumored HTC Vision/Blaze, but we will have to wait and see what gets revealed. I'm hearing the third Monday in August could be a good day for Android related announcements.
Even though T-Mobile's HSPA+ network supports speeds up to 21 Mbps, this device has a theoretical peak capability of 14.4 Mbps.
Current rumors suggest this device will include a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, but I have a feeling something more powerful will be used. T-Mobile has started to promote their new HSPA+ network as the largest to offer 4G speeds and you can bet their first HSPA+ handset is going to be a device that will demand attention.
Check back later for a more in-depth report on what HTC and Qualcomm might have in store for T-Mobile.

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Workout Tips
This section of our health library is devoted to – you guessed it – workout tips! Learn about all things fitness in these articles that are designed to help you get up and get moving, regardless of your physical ability.
In order to achieve the best results from your work out, you need to be consistently challenging your body in new ways. This is how you avoid plateaus, boredom and even speed up weight loss. With so many exercise routines out there, selecting one that works for you can be overwhelming; but don't worry, we have a list of exercises for men and a list of exercises for women that you can easily do at home or at the gym. We would never leave you hanging.
The best exercises for men
- Pushup Plus
This exercise works your chest as effectively as any exercise, the "plus" part of this routine hits your serratus anterior—a small, but important muscle that helps move your shoulder blades. This exercise can help improve your posture and reduce your risk of shoulder injuries. This is one of the best exercises for men.
To begin the exercise, assume a pushup position with your arms straight and your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Your body should form a straight line from your ankles to your head. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor. Pause, and then push back up. As you straighten your arms, push your upper back toward the ceiling. This extra movement is very slight; you'll rise up only another couple of inches. Pause for a one count and then repeat.
- Barbell Push Press
This exercise works out your quadriceps to help you generate more force.
To begin the exercise, grab a barbell with an overhand grip that's just beyond shoulder-width and hold it at shoulder level in front of your body. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and dip your knees and then in one movement, straighten your legs as you explosively press the barbell over your head until your arms are straight. Lower and repeat. Exercises for men generally employ more strength training techniques than exercises for women.
- All-in-one-toner
This exercise will work out your entire body.
To begin the exercise, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart holding a three-to-four pound medicine ball in your hands. Bend your arms up so that the ball is at eye level over your right shoulder. As you bring the ball toward your left knee, step out with your left leg and bend it no further than 90 degrees, keeping your right leg straight. Return to the starting position. Do 10 to 15 reps and repeat on the other leg.
- An oldie, but goodie: the treadmill
The treadmill is another perfect full body workout.
To begin the exercise, step on the treadmill holding a three-to-five pound dumbbell in each hand, and set the speed to a brisk walk. Do a one-minute set each of shoulder presses, biceps curls, triceps extensions, side laterals, front laterals and standing triceps kickbacks one after another as you walk. Do this series two or three times each week and work up to doing four-minute sets.
The best exercises for women
- Mountain climber with hands on Swiss ball
This is a very simple way to tighten up your abs.
To begin this exercise, assume a pushup position with your arms completely straight, but place your hands on a Swiss ball instead of the floor. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your ankles. Tighten your core and hold it that way for the duration of the exercise. Lift one foot off the floor and slowly raise your knee as close to your chest as you can without changing your lower-back posture. Then repeat with your other leg and alternate back and forth for 30 seconds. If that's too hard, place your hands on the floor or on a bench.
- Hip raise
This exercise targets your glutes which can actually help tighten up your stomach.
To begin this exercise, lie on your back, on the floor, with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Now brace your core, squeeze your glutes and raise your hips so your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Pause for 3 to 5 seconds—squeezing your glutes tightly the entire time—then lower back to the start.
These are great for a toned torso and strong toned legs and thighs. This is one of the most dreaded exercises for women because it's a bit of a challenge, but you'll be happy once you see the results.
To begin this exercise, stand with your legs at shoulder width. Keeping your back straight, go down from your hips till your legs are parallel to the ground. Remember not to let your knees extend further than your toes. You can add a barbell on your shoulders or dumbbells. Do as many as you can.
- Deadlifts
These are great for your core, legs, thighs, hips, sides and back.
To begin the exercise, stand with your legs shoulder distance. Bend down and pick up the barbell without rounding your back. Now bend down, pushing your hips slightly back and keeping your knees soft. Now stand up straight while keeping your back arched. Do this once a week.
Exercises for men aren't restricted to just men and exercises for women aren't restricted to just women. The exercises in this article can be used interchangeably between men and women. Consult your doctor before starting a new fitness routine and remember to be safe and have fun.

Imagine a lady who worked hard all her life and was finally able to retire. She's not rich by any stretch of the imagination, scraping by on what she gets from social security.
Her days are spent helping others. When someone dies, she knows just what the family might need and takes over a bag of supplies (practical things like toilet paper, paper plates/cups/napkins, and the extra garbage bags with pre-paid disposal tags that come in so handy when dozens of relatives suddenly descend on your household). When someone is in the hospital or sick, she takes meals to the family. Four days a week she volunteers at a food bank, handing out food to those who can't quite make ends meet.
Once a year she travels, at her own expense, to spend a week volunteering in a plant that packages soup mix to ship to starving people around the world.
Now, this isn't to say that she's perfect. As she's aged, she's decided that it's dangerous to drive as fast as the speed limit permits (she claims that it's a maximum limit after all – you're not required to go that fast). She's mastered the art of driving her children crazy. Despite her imperfections, she tries to be a good citizen and help when she can.
An opportunity came up for this lady to travel to Central America with a group of friends. An aid organization in one of the countries has two weeks worth of work for the group, and this lady is excited to have this new chance to help even more people. There's just one catch. A passport is needed.
Dutifully, this woman completed the required paperwork, had her picture taken, and jumped through all the hoops so that she can take this trip. In the mail, instead of the desired document, she received notification that more information would be required. Although her application contained all the necessary information, our government, hard at work to protect us, decided to flag this application and ask for more details.
More detail: Do you know the address of every place you have ever lived? When you come up with all those addresses, can you agree with family members about the dates you lived there? Do you have the address and telephone number of every place you have ever worked, along with your supervisor's name? Not just those jobs you include on your resume' – every job you've ever had. Remember, this is the government; there's the off-chance that they might cross-check your list against your social security withholding record. Parents and siblings – can you come up with their birth dates? How about their place of birth? Do you still have a copy of your marriage certificate? Your children's birth certificates? What about photo identification? In addition to your current driver's license, do you have photo identification from at least five other times in your life? That ID needs to be from printed documents with verifiable dates.
Yes, Uncle Sam, you're certainly keeping our country safer by harassing seventy year old widows.
Next post after I help my mom compile the mountain of paperwork the government has requested.

Berlin, Dec 19: Bayern Munich overcame a red card for Franck Ribery to reach the quarterfinals of the German Cup with a 2-0 win at Augsburg on Tuesday.
Ribery set up Mario Gomez for Bayern's opening goal in the 26th minute of the third round match, when the Frenchman got his cross in despite the attention of three defenders.
It should have been 2-0 before the break, when Anatoliy Tymoshchuk struck the crossbar with a tremendous shot from distance. Play continued despite TV replays showing the ball crossed the line. Augsburg goalkeeper Alexander Manninger denied Bastian Schweinsteiger from the rebound and the Bayern midfielder struck the crossbar with an overhead kick from the second attempt.
Ribery was sent off early in the second half after an altercation with Koo Ja-Cheol. The Frenchman struck Koo lightly in the face in retaliation for a slap unseen by the referee, leaving the South Korean lucky to escape with just a yellow.
"The red card was provoked, but it should be discussed," said Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes.
Augsburg's penalty claims in the 53rd-- when Dante appeared to handle the ball in the area -- went unheeded.
Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer -- who was superb throughout -- denied Torsten Oehrl an equalizer, before Thomas Mueller reached the keeper's long kick upfield and crossed for Xherdan Shaqiri to secure the result with five minutes remaining.
"To have such a present, to play against Bayern with 10 men and without Ribery, and still make nothing of it, then we don't deserve to go further," Augsburg midfielder Daniel Baier said.
The win wraps up a good few months for Bayern, which has a nine-point lead in the Bundesliga.
"Altogether I'm very happy because we played outstanding football over long periods in the first half of the season," Heynckes said. "It couldn't have gone any better."
Elsewhere, Schalke's miserable end to the year continued despite the dismissal of Huub Stevens as coach on Sunday, with the team losing 2-1 at home to Mainz.
Marco Caligiuri opened the scoring for Mainz in the 30th with a fantastic strike into the right corner.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar pulled one back from close range with 15 minutes remaining, but Nicolai Mueller scored in the 83rd to ensure the 2011 champion's seven-game run without a win continued.
"Anyone who saw that performance, especially in the second half, could see that the team played well," Schalke's interim coach Jens Keller said.
Mainz coach Thomas Tuchel, who angrily denied newspaper reports linking him with the Schalke position before the game, was sent to the stands for stepping onto the pitch in response to a two-footed lunge from Jermaine Jones on Caligiuri.
"From my perspective it looked like Caligiuri was seriously injured," Tuchel said. "It was just a bit of pushing, here and there, nothing serious."
U.S. international Jones received a yellow for the initial challenge.
Third-division Kickers Offenbach provided an upset by beating Fortuna Duesseldorf 2-0, with Mathias Fetsch and Stefan Vogler scoring for the home side in last 15 minutes.
Freiburg won 1-0 at third-division Karlsruher SC thanks to Jonathan Schmid's goal in the second minute, firing through the goalkeeper's legs.

GRANGEVILLE — Big changes are under way for Syringa Hospital in 2014.
Thanks largely to the $1.2 million left to Syringa by the Orrin and Eleanora Webb estate last year, Syringa will undergo substantial renovations and remodeling in 2014.
"It's the 75th anniversary of the hospital so it really is a fitting time to be able to do this," said CEO Joe Cladouhos.
The hospital recently purchased the Main Street lot that is the former site of Ernie's Steakhouse. The land was appraised for $205,000 and the hospital was able to purchase it for $135,000 as the Robinson Family made an in-kind donation of the $70,000 gap.
"It was good for them as a donation and tax write-off and definitely good for us to be able to get it for the price we did," Cladouhos said.
The area is currently being used as a staff parking lot and evaluated as a LifeFlight heli-pad.
"Of course we have to ask the city and go through all the channels to see if that would work – we wouldn't just start landing helicopters there without telling anyone," Cladouhos grinned. "But we feel this could save at least 15 minutes on the LifeFlights which is a huge amount of time when you're dealing with heart attacks, strokes, and other emergency situations."
In January the hospital will start on several projects, as drawn out by Cottonwood architect Rhonda Wemhoff. This includes some remodeling in the lease-to-own "LeBlanc" building (owned by former Grangeville doctor LeAnne LeBlanc) at 212 North B Street. This building will house much of the hospital's administrative and billing staff, including Cladouhos' office. The former physical therapy building behind the hospital will be renovated to a community outreach building and will include the Syringa Foundation, hospice, community relations, events planning and the Cancer Resource Center. The area where the administration is now housed (between the clinic and hospital proper in the former Idaho County Nursing Home area) will become clinic exam rooms.
A large project that will change the face of the hospital will be the addition of a covered area and drive-through drop-off parking from Main Street. The inside area will also include an expanded patient waiting room.
"Our goal with everything we are doing is to increase the quality and value of the patient experience at the hospital and clinic for the community," Cladouhos said.
The Webb money indicated a portion be used for a doctor's lounge and a patient area. A physician common room, sleeping rooms and shower will be placed upstairs where the foundation, hospice and community relations are currently located.
"This area will allow doctors to stay overnight if they need to and provide a nice respite area," Cladouhos said.
A recent $225,000 grant from Murdoch Charitable Trust will help with about half the cost of a new CT scanner, as well. Changes will also take place in the emergency room and lab areas.
"There's definitely a lot going on and we are anxious to continue improving what we have and build on it," Cladouhos said.
A community picnic event is planned for June 30 and Cladouhos hopes a major part of the entrance renovation will be complete at that time to show the community. The entire project is expected to take a year.

Emily Kurkul has been clutch all season.
Whether it's getting the game-winning hit or igniting the Bridgewater-Raynham offense, Kurkul always finds a way to get it done.
Emily Kurkul has been clutch all season.
Whether it's getting the game-winning hit or igniting the Bridgewater-Raynham offense, Kurkul always finds a way to get it done.
" Obviously, it's a playoff game," Kurkul said. "I just want to do good and get some runs going. I aim for singles and just try to move the runners along. That's about it."
The Trojans catcher belted a three-run home run to get No. 1 seed B-R rolling and set the tone in a 7-0 victory over fifth seed Hopkinton in Saturday's Division I South Sectional semifinal game at Taunton High School.
"It was just a complete team effort and Emily really got our offense rolling with her home run," said winning pitcher Sarah Dawson, who extended her scoreless streak to 20 innings with the victory. "It is something she has been doing for the entire year."
Trojan third baseman Madi Shaw is one of Kurkul's best friends.
Shaw said Kurkul has come a long way.
"The player that she has turned into is incredible," Shaw said. "She has a huge bat and is a threat to everybody. She only has more to come next season."
Shaw finished the game with three hits in three at bats, scored two runs, stole bases and drove in a pair of runs.
Now that Shaw is back after sitting out the final six games of the regular season, B-R's lineup is lethal with Shaw leading off and Kurkul batting out of the third slot.
"She (Emily) is another girl like Madi," Trojan head coach Mike Carrozza said. "She is full of energy, but the big thing is that she has a lot of passion. She loves the sport of softball. Fortunately for me, there is a lot of girls like her that love softball on this team."
With the score deadlocked at 0-0, Kurkul launched a three-run home run in the first inning to give the Trojans all the runs they needed against the Hillers.
"She really has helped out our offense," Dawson said. "She always gets us rolling somehow."
With the runs in place, Kurkul then concentrated on Dawson, locating her favorite spot in the circle.
"Sarah was great out there," Kurkul said. "It's the playoff game and she did her best. She throws everything out there and worked hard. That's what got us the win."
Now it's on to the final against sixth-seed North Attleboro
"This is our last year with Madi (Shaw) and we have been playing with her our whole life," Dawson said. "We want to play as many games as we can."
Shaw was deeply touched afterwards.
"That is so humbling because I'm going to miss these girls a lot," she said. "We started this season back in March during the preseason. The goal is the state championship. Last year's South final game still haunts me and Dawson. We're hungry for more and it's passed down to the new girls. We take it one game at a time."
You can bet Kurkul will also do everything in her power to keep this train rolling.

Of the 125 paint-by-number sets Dolly Vipperman, 80, has completed, she said the most recent one was the most challenging.
The painting, titled �Manhattan at Night� shows the city skyline, brightly speckled with lights and stars, against a late colorful sunset. The illuminated Brooklyn Bridge runs along the lower right corner, a restaurant�s shine reflects off the water and the Twin Towers, glowing with hundreds of individual lights, stand in the middle of the canvas.
�I started painting on it Christmas Eve,� Vipperman said. �It took me a little over three weeks to paint it.�
Before she even completed the 32-by-16-inch paint-by-number, Vipperman knew she wanted to donate it to either the fire department in New York City, the Freedom Tower or the 9/11 Memorial Museum.
When Vipperman and her daughter Donna Hedington asked Alexandra Drakakis, the assistant collections curator at the 9/11 Memorial Museum, if the museum would accept the donated artwork, Drakakis accepted.
�I said the only thing I want is if there is any kind of news article in the New York paper (about it), I want a copy,� Vipperman said. �That�s all I ask for.�
The paint-by-number will go on the 20th floor of the museum, which is still under construction. A plaque with Vipperman�s name and hometown will go underneath the art.
Vipperman said she hopes to leave more than just a piece of artwork in the museum. Both she and her daughter wanted to mention the name of a member of the New York City Fire Department who died on 9/11.
David Fontana was one of the men who passed away in the tragedy. When the list of the fallen was released, Hedington read that Fontana, who shares the same first and last name as her brother, had died in one of the towers.
�She�s donating (the painting) in remembrance of all who fell on 9/11,� Hedington said of her mother. �But I would like them to mention, somewhere, that a David Fontana, the same name as my brother, died on that day. He died on that day at 37 years of age.�
Vipperman said when she saw the World Trade Center paint-by-number set, she thought about how much she would love to paint it to honor the fallen, including Fontana. She had been eyeing the kit on Herrschners.com, a quality craft website, for a long time.
�She sees them and she knows right away,� Hedington said. �I could just tell she had been itching to do that Twin Towers one.�
Hedington buys all of the kits for her mother, so when Vipperman�s birthday rolled around in late December, Hedington bought the set. By late-January, it was finished.
Vipperman had painted thousands of numbered spaces, many of which were extremely small. When necessary, she cut the paintbrushes down to two hairs so she wouldn�t go outside the lines.
�You have to have a steady hand and a lot, a lot, a lot of patience,� Vipperman said.
Hedington said, after watching her mother paint miniscule portions at a time, she would not have been able to complete it. But, she is very proud of her mother, she said. She hangs many of her mother�s pieces in her salon. When she hung �Manhattan at Night� in the shop, it received a lot of attention.
�It just got people in there,� Hedington said. �I had people taking pictures of this thing with their camera.�
Among family and friends, Vipperman has also given some of her paint-by-number paintings away to some of Hedington�s clients. Between all the recipients, her paintings are spread all over the United States, from Florida to New Jersey.
�My mother is one talented little woman,� Hedington said.

Learn more about the Dodge Magnum: Dodge Magnum Reviews, Pricing, Specs and more »
Before you look into buying a used Dodge Magnum, you should be certain that you're referring to the same vehicle as the people that you conduct business with. The reason that this can be problematic is that there have been several different cars that have had the Dodge Magnum name over the year, and finding a used Dodge Magnum for sale that matches your specifications exactly can be difficult.
The Dodge Magnum name generally refers to the most recent version of the car, which was introduced in 2004 as a rear wheel drive station wagon. However, there are also Dodge Magnums that have been coupes and other types of cars as well, as this vehicle was first introduced to the market in the model year 1978.
The Dodge Magnum station wagon is a mid sized wagon in comparison with others on the market. It is larger than the majority of station wagons that are available today, including the Chevrolet Caprice, but it's also smaller than the largest station wagons like the Crown Victoria by Ford. Because of this unique position, the new dodge Magnum station wagon has carved a niche for itself as a sizable and sturdy car that isn't so big as to be cumbersome on the road.
Like most other Dodge vehicles, the Magnum station wagon is available in different luxury levels. The prices of these vehicles generally vary by a few hundred dollars and up to several thousand, depending upon the exact mix of special add ons and luxury amenities that you select for the vehicle. Look to CarsDirect for a comprehensive list of these cars before you buy used Dodge Magnum cars in your area.Show More »

In the beginning of November, South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) and the Department of Social Development were in the news again for all the wrong reasons.
Treasury director-general Dondo Mogajane' addressed a joint sitting of the social development portfolio committee and the standing committee on public accounts (Scopa). During the address he said that the technical teams from the Post Office and SASSA had not yet met. These crucial entities are central to finding a solution to the ongoing social grants debacle that has inconvenienced millions of South Africans over the past year. To make matters worse, Minister of Social Development Bathabile Dlamini denied that they had not met.
The Constitutional Court ordered SASSA to provide a progress plan on phasing out the contract of social grants distributor Cash Paymaster Services (CPS). This is in the hopes that they will be able to avert a crisis that could place the livelihoods of 17-million vulnerable South Africans at risk. There is a huge possibility that this social grant crisis will not be resolved by March 2018.
Before President Jacob Zuma released the free education report, there were reports of plans to fund free education by tapping into the social grants, which would've exacerbated an already critical situation. Asked why he has still not fired the Social Development Minister during Parliament earlier this month, he responded:

Historical context of South African poverty and wealth distribution
According to research by SPII Studies in Poverty and Inequality Institute, before social grants, South Africa had a history where the richest 10% of the population had more than a thousand times than the poorest 10%. After transfers, their income was 66 times that of the poorest 10%. Social grants helped significantly reduce the gap between the rich and poor in SA. They not only reduced inequality but also helped reduce the ratio of wealth distribution (Gini coefficient) of all South Africans.
Poverty in South Africa
30.3 million people now live under the poverty line in South Africa. According to the 2015 STATSSA Poverty Trends of South Africa, an examination of absolute poverty from 2006 and 2015, this is the grim picture of poverty in SA. 64.2% of Black African people are poor, followed by 41.3% of Coloured people, 5.2% of Indian/Asian people are poor and the least poor population is White people who make up 1% South Africans living in poverty.
The percentage of South Africans living below the poverty line dropped from 66.6% in 2006 to 53.2% in 2011, but began to rise again in 2015, to 55.5%.
Poverty vs Social Grants graph
Here is a graph depicting the percentage of people living below the poverty line and the percentage of those receiving social grants. In 2014/2015, 16 642 643 social grants were distributed, and 11 703 165 of these were Child Support Grants worth less than the value of the food poverty line (not enough money to buy enough food to sustain a person).
Urban Settlements Development Grant (USDG)
In the graph above, you can see the consistently alarming USDG spending patterns of the metros. The red sections of the graph represent the proportion of the allocated USDG funds which remain unspent. As you can see, the metro municipalities are simply not spending the money they have to upgrade informal settlements. Below are the number of households that have been upgraded in informal settlements versus the number of targets not achieved.
The combination of growing poverty stats, lack of affordable social and rental accommodation and continued government inefficiency are all indicators that South Africa is plunging into the depths of a social crisis that will affect almost two thirds of the population.

It wouldn't be surprising to learn that UConn football players have the Maryland and Michigan games circled on their schedules.
They're highlights of the best football schedule UConn has had.
A game against Temple in Philadelphia is part of the schedule too. And Nov. 23 is the date senior kicker Chad Christen has highlighted on his schedule. For one thing, he's a Pennsylvania kid, from Etters in York County.
In addition, the 2012 Temple game, a 17-14 overtime loss at Rentschler Field, represents Christen's worst game since taking over for record-setting Dave Teggart following the 2011 season.
Christen was 14 of 21 on field goals last season. Against the Owls, he missed all four attempts. Twelve points went wide left, wide right — and by the boards.
It was a game the Huskies should have won, and Christen wasn't the only reason UConn lost. The defense broke down at inopportune times, and the offense was already mired in a scoring slump, but two made kicks would have been enough to propel the Huskies to victory. They could have finished 6-6, instead of 5-7 for the second straight year.
Six wins looks a lot better than five. Six qualifies for a bowl game.
"I want to continue where I left off, making seven in a row," said Christen, who had offseason hip/groin surgery. "It gave me a lot of confidence at the end of the season. This is a new season and I literally have a new leg, so that's how I kind of look at it.
"I do have that Temple game circled, though. It's a big game for me, rebound game. I'm from Pennsylvania. It's down there this year so, yeah, I'm really looking forward to that one."
Christen was 3-for-3 in the 2012 season opener against UMass, then followed that with three games in which he was 1-for-2, before hitting a wall against Temple. His 7-for-7 streak to close the season included a 3-for-3 effort against BCS bowl-bound Louisville. His 30-yarder in the third overtime of 23-20 win at Louisville represented one of two losses the Cardinals had all season.
So it's not a question of whether Christen can get the job done. It's can he do it consistently?
"It's a whole new season, a whole new approach to the season, and that's the case collectively too," Christen said.
Bobby Puyol, now a sophomore, handled the kicking duties in the final game against Cincinnati last season because of Christen's injured hip, and there was some concern that Christen might not be able to kick off in the opener against Towson State.
But Christen said he'll be ready.
"I made a commitment to myself and to the team this whole summer," he said. "I stayed up here and rehabbed with [trainer Bob Howard] and his staff and it was well worth it."
Puyol is prepared just in case.
"I'll do anything for the team," he said. "If that's what the team needs, then that's what the team needs. But Chad is doing well, so cross my fingers."
