An update from Santiago, a communications major and member of U.S. Military Veterans of SMU:
Walking through the Vietnam War Memorial was a humbling experience. Standing there looking at those names, I thought about the issues all troops faced during this time in history. Forced to leave loved ones, being drafted and trained, experiencing war, the loss of life or serious injuries, feeling remorseful for their actions in war, unknowingly dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder, not being welcomed back into their country, minorities facing racisms and prejudices, sexism, homophobia, so on and so forth.
This moment weighed heavily on my heart. It was a very sobering moment. Then I thought about how wonderful that some of these issues are no more – that we have gotten better in some of these issues because of our society acknowledging that they are wrong. Many of these people were military members themselves.
Later that night James, Blake, and Marc – other students from SMU – and I went to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, "Honoring Military Heroes," that Dr. Rita Kirk graciously acquired for us. Before the concert began, they addressed the serious issue of veteran and military suicide. An article from November 2012 in USA Today indicates that 2012 had record high suicides for military members, over 323. The speaker, who was a U.S. veteran, mentioned that it is the most pressing issue among military and veteran personal, and he mentioned what we can do to help.
Basically what I got from this concert, and what I have noticed in many places, is that people do really support their troops. And in part it is because veterans have stood up and become the change they wanted to see. It was a Marine veteran who started the Student Veterans of America, "resources, support, and advocacy needed to succeed in higher education and following graduation." Such was the case for three student veterans at SMU – James, Ian and I before the fall semester 2011. We wanted student veteran representation, and we made it happen.

Report to the Nation Shows U.S. Cancer Death Rates Continue to Drop

Report to the Nation Shows U.S. Cancer Death Rates Continue to Drop
NEWSROOM: American Cancer Society
CONTENT: Press Release
January 11, 2013 /3BL Media/ - The Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, 1975–2009 shows that overall cancer death rates continued to decline in the United States among both men and women, among all major racial and ethnic groups, and for all of the most common cancer sites, including lung, colon and rectum, female breast, and prostate. However, the report also shows that death rates continued to increase during the latest time period (2000 through 2009) for melanoma of the skin (among men only) and for cancers of the liver, pancreas, and uterus. The special feature section on human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers shows that incidence rates are increasing for HPV-associated oropharyngeal and anal cancers and that vaccination coverage levels in the U.S. during 2008 and 2010 remained low among adolescent girls.
The report, produced since 1998, is co-authored by researchers from the American Cancer Society (ACS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR). It appears early online in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute and will be published in print issue 3, volume 105.
The decline in overall cancer death rates continues a trend that began in the early 1990s. From 2000 through 2009, cancer death rates decreased by 1.8 percent per year among men and by 1.4 percent per year among women. Death rates among children up to 14 years of age also continued to decrease by 1.8 percent per year. During 2000 through 2009, death rates among men decreased for 10 of the 17 most common cancers (lung, prostate, colon and rectum, leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, kidney, stomach, myeloma, oral cavity and pharynx, and larynx) and increased for melanoma of the skin and cancers of the pancreas and liver. During the same 10-year period, death rates among women decreased for 15 of the 18 most common cancers (lung, breast, colon and rectum, ovary, leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, brain and other nervous system, myeloma, kidney, stomach, cervix, bladder, esophagus, oral cavity and pharynx, and gallbladder) and increased for cancers of the pancreas, liver, and uterus.
"The continuing drop in cancer mortality over the past two decades is reason to cheer," said John R. Seffrin, Ph.D., chief executive officer of the American Cancer Society. "The challenge we now face is how to continue those gains in the face of new obstacles, like obesity and HPV infections. We must face these hurdles head on, without distraction, and without delay, by expanding access to proven strategies to prevent and control cancer."

J. Lynch: "Kinect has taken Microsoft's motion-controller from a distant second place in the buzz world to number one after being displayed yesterday at Microsoft's E3 presentation to the public. Many people had written off the Kinect (at the time Project Natal) as nothing more than an updated version of the old interactive webcams from the 90's or more recently the Playstation EyeToy."
gofanboy - The biggest 360 fanboy site that they had to put Valkyrie Profile 3 rumor as a Xbox 360 exclusive. tsk tsk.
Hey just telling the truth. How you don't see it is beyond me.
" (i should know, i live in a sewer under this guys house, hese been crying for quite some time.)"
WTF? Lol
Well, I think this article takes it too far, but I was pretty impressed by Kinect. It looks fun.
Did you notice........
The black fellow at the conference he daren't use his hands or arms at all when he was talking, it looked like they had been roped down.
"pass me a beer love while......*movie stops*.....oh sh!* wait let me start it again, no, no not that scene, there that's..ah lovely a beer...*takes beer* Sh!t ok don't move forget the frickin beer *phone rings* Hello Bernie....*movie stops* Sh!t sh!t sh!t..... Oh bugger this lets go to the cinema."
I can only assume you're easily impressed.
PS move innovates while kinect is just eyetoy HD. And wii? Who cares?
If Kinect works or not it's not Innovating. It's simply rehashing what Sony did with Eye Toy with slightly better tech. So far from the reaction to it it seems as if it will be just as successful as Eye Toy meaning not at all.
PS Move IS a Wii HD but that's not even a bad thing as the Wii has been a proven success and there ARE games on the Wii that could be made better in HD like No More Heros, Madworld and Muramasa.
That entire MS conference as far as Kinect was concerned was prerecorded. G4 even said as much in their review of the conference. Well, they, just like me, noticed that the people on stage seemed to be trying to keep up with the videos playing above rather than actually controlling anything. There was a moment while the asian girl was dancing you could see either lag or it was prerecorded. There was another moment when they displayed Kintectimals that the girls hands were at her side and the video displayed her petting the tiger? Either lag or prerecorded?? you tell me
Did you also notice that each of the presenters had to be VERY deliberate with their movements as well to navigate the menus? Unlike in Minority Report where the character just whipps through the interface with reckless abandon, each person on stage was so overly careful as to almost be timid.
''Kinect for Xbox 360 Innovates While PS Move is Just a Wii HD''
That is exactly what most hardcore gamers want. And I do want it. If Nintendo make a Wii HD I will buy it ASAP. But nooo, Nintendo want to keep it cheap.
Sony went into 3d camera's but it just didn't cut it. Kinect from the conference showed us that buttons are still required for core games. No way to spin that.
This is so stupid. Wow, can anyone honestly say that MS impressed?? It was a horrible presentation, filled with casual games that I will never buy. And everything else was stuff the PSeye can do/has done.
Kinectimals = Eyept/Nintendogs
Dance Central= DDR
Kinect Sports = Wii Sports (which seems to have less lag)
etc, etc
This is not innovation, it is MS blatantly copying the Wii/PS3.
I don't recall any of the games you mention doing full 3D body tracking, coupled with voice control. Also, didn't you need some type of pad on the floor for DDR?
Did you need something in your hand for nintendogs and wii sports?
An if you are anything older than a selfish a$$ 12 year old, you have to admit the Kinectimals is a really cute game and the kids will just love it. You do have little brothers, cousins or something don't you. Shouldn't they have something cool to play with also, or should only you have cool sh!t?
@arb, none of the 360 games shown did full 3d tracking either!
Kenictimals... yes, if your 3 you'll like it, but the fact is that there is NO physical interaction. Noting. Your just touching air. At least with Eyepet you have the dualshock/maybe Move and with Nintendogs you have something to actually play with them.
I don't know if it was just me, but that demo of the little girl acting like she was actually getting licked was just terrible and very unrealistic.
So you thought it was horrible because you wouldn't buy any of the games? So you wouldn't want to play Gears3 or you don't like to watch ESPN, or you didn't think it was smart to make COD map packs a 1st on the 360? Oh plus you thought it was lame make a slimmer console with wifi included? You must have also thought it was silly to secure a star wars game for Kinect showing it will also cater to more than just casual gamers. Let's also forget what kinect means for the system it's self, making the console user friendly without controllers.
This is not innovation correct? I forgot the PS3 and Wii have all this included. You are as blind as you lead everyone to believe. If you can't see the worth of each console then my point is proven.
The fact remains the MS assured the core crowd would not be abandoned. Yet all they showed was ONE new game. One. That was it. All the others had already been announced last year. We knew about Halo Reach, Fable 3, and Gears 3... The ESPN thing is good, but it's not game related. MGR is multiplat, and the slimmer 360 is just playing catchup.
Look, I'm not saying that I'm not excited about Reach, Gears, and Fable. My point is that the conference was underwhelming and MS clearly did not deliver. That's my point.
"I don't recall any of the games you mention doing full 3D body tracking, coupled with voice control. Also, didn't you need some type of pad on the floor for DDR?"
Natal showed no 3D tracking at all. And while you need a dance pad for DDR, you obviously need not be in the room for the Natal dance game. Did you notice how the professional dancer and nerd boy looked exactly the same on the screen? I wonder if that was just me.
"or you don't like to watch ESPN"
Or you can't watch ESPN on, I don't know, ESPN? I was actually impressed by that announcement at first. But then I looked further into it. You don't even get the same coverage as normal ESPN, let alone ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNNews, ESPN Classic, or whatever else ESPN has to offer. And guess what? ESPN is free for those that have any form of cable.
I knew that all it would take is time for people to make the MS conference into an awesome experience for gamers. You needed a few hours to convince yourself that your undying love for MS still benefits you. Have fun with your rope jumping Tiger (that thinks he's a dog) and World Class Track Meet complete with imaginary NES Power Pad. I hope you enjoy the money on spend on such obviously exciting items.
yeah becoz with the ps eye u could control the ps2 dvd functions or start a video chat conference and it was even voice activated eh? get real if anyone is copying its sony with move now thats a plain wii rip off right there the controler looks almost identical apart from the orb on the top of it. u know what i think i think the ps fans are just plain jealous as there is some stiff competition ahead becoz if this is just the start for kinect then lets just see what they have up their sleeves for when it releases in november and beyond. oh and to the ppl refering to the so called lag i guess none of u guys have ever done djing in a club to know that theres such a thing as sound lag between the dj booth and the speakers in the club? what im getting at its the exact same thing can happen in a venue with a huge screen and just before u fanboys try and shoot me down go and look up any stage performances where a person is in front of a huge screen and u will notice there movements are a few seconds behind. god damn raving fanboys on this site.
Some of these guys sound so selfish it is a bit scary. They remind me of that guy who killed his daughter because she unplugged his 360. Kinect is not for you, its for casuals, so it is harmful to gaming. I just don't get it, the majority of people on this site seem to have that warped point of view. Lord help us all.
I think you have been on the site long enough to know that some of these guys don't even try and understand anyone's point of view. The fact that they can say the Kinect is a EyeToy, or a copy of the wii; yet at the same time can't see that similarities between the wiimote/numchuk and move/sub controller. It clearly shown their unwillingness to accept anything that doesn't agree with them.
This is what happen when you deal with people of low social intelligence, people like this can't reason within thenselves. It's the same reason why if difficult to get a 5 year old to understand that they should share their toys with their siblings.
You are probably deal with the 14-22 year old demographic here on N4G, this is the age group where this behavior is worst. Ever met a 17 year old that didn't f*cking know everything? Me either...lol
If this imature behavior is being exibited by someone older than say 25 years old, then they serious should be ashamed of themselves or they have a mental disorder.
Yes you are right Bigpappy in it is not for me. Apart form the fact I don't own the current xbox (had the previous), this won't make me go and get one.
And I don't buy stuff so my little cousins can play it, that's why they have parents, also the fact they're on the other side of the world, and while I have a little sister, she's married with children so not buying it for her either. So ARB's reason's are not real applicable now are they.
What do you expect from a site owned by Microsoft? (MSN)
Ah, so that's how they're describing it now. Look, just because something is different or hasn't been done before doesn't mean that it's innovative or even something people want.
No one has ever designed a gaming console that can also toast bread. Does that make it innovative, then, if a company were to release a console tomorrow that can also toast bread? What if it can also pour a shot of expresso?
Sony has E3 2010 in the bag.
....and far more than a suped up wii mote with a butt plug on the end.
No, Move is not innovative, it takes proven technology and makes it better. What does Kinect do? The only impressive thing they showed there was that Ubisoft exercise game. And that even glitched. The girl who demoed it shrunk 2 inches if you compare the 2 conferences she showed it off at. Voice command? That has existed for a long long time on computers. If I really wanted to open my internet, "Computer, open firefox" and it does it. It's not innovative. ESPN? I have that already. Video Conference? The only new thing there was watching a movie together, which you could already do through chat, but this time you can see people's faces.
Anyways, my point is made clear. Neither of the 2 is innovative. Move is using proven technology, and as far as we know, making it better. Kinect is taking proven technology and trying to pass it off as their own and as innovative. Crazy.
wait doesnt some blu ray have the option to watch a movie with friends as well¿
they got a free slim xbox 360, that why they have to write something positive about the Kinect.
Are you suggesting it only takes $300 to buy off a journalist?
Are you suggesting these bloggers are actually journalists?
DANGER,DANGER will robinson, kinect do not COMPUTE
Seems with this whole article 360 fans are on the defensive.
lmao! Like all you PS3 fanboys are on a daily basis? I can't believe one of the dumbest fuvks on this site had the balls to say what you just said. Go play UC2 for the 20th time or better yet, Killzone 2 online. ;)
PS3 fanturds flock into every 360 article and it gets old. You guys worship Sony and the PS3 and it's just sad. Why can't you guys just play games and like what you like without trying to shove it down everyone else's throat?
5 year old eye toy/ps2 game , called Kinetic. Kinect has got better gfx but it's fundamentally the same. This 5 year old game may be more responsive then Kinect for all I know.
WOW! That video is really impressive. This is from 5 years ago too, Kinect is on par with a product released last gan from Sony. HA
I don't see where it's voice controlled and completely interfaces with the console?
I don't see how voice control make a damn about the gameplay. New technology, same old gameplay.
Kinect, while it can be considered a glorified PS Eye, does open up room for innovation. However, no matter how many steps it takes forward, its drawbacks bring it further away from its potential to innovate.
One of the most significant issues is the lag. It's not a minor problem that can be overlooked, but a highly noticeable issue, and when the software requires precise timing and movement accuracy, it needs to have as little lag as possible.
Another issue the camera presents is its limitation in application. While it appears more suitable for casual experiences requiring less input, more core games like racers and shooters are going to require something tangible like a controller to function. The Forza Kinect and Joy Ride games were on-rails racers, with the only controls being hands at 10-and-2 and saying the word "boost". How would one accelerate in an actual racer? Say "faster"? I can understand a gesture to be recognised for gear shift changes, though. Also, how would one control a first person shooter? How would one move (besides obvious jumping and crouching to do those actions)?
Kinect has way too much still to prove, and a glaringly obvious issue with lag. Beyond the simple casual experiences, how can it be used for hardcore application? This is something we must not take in good faith and have Microsoft show, without staging a smoke-and-mirrors show like the Natal reveal and Kinect Experience. Say what you will about Move, but it has proven itself incredibly accurate, extremely fast, and capable of being used in both core and casual product.
Shit dude I didn't even think of any of that stuff. Exactly how do you accel?
I try to stay away from commenting these days. But I had to come out and say, this is one of the best comments I have read in a long time. I think you just made a very good point.
Well, I do believe that Kinect doesn't do much more than an EyeToy. Sure it may do 3D recognition but, in practice, I don't think that it has many "harcore gaming" applications. Besides, it doesn't seem to improve much over EyeToy, since it shows very noticeable lag issues, something that EyeToy didn't have.
On the other hand, Move is nothing more than a Wii-HD, sure. But at least it improves considerabily over the Wii, being much more accurate and doing 3D recognition as well. So, if now Sony is able to show both casual and hardcore games for the Move, I think it is a much better choice than Kinect.
What a very intelligent post, Snoogins!
You bring up some great points about how Kinect leaves much to be desired. One thing that annoys me is the way that Microsoft is marketing Kinect. Yes, there are cool things about it, but it is nowhere akin to the taming of fire or other advances in human evolution that Microsoft makes it out to be.
Microsoft should not be hyping their product up to that level, because it doesn't come close to living up to that amount of hype. Although, from what we've seen of Kinect, it seems hype is the only thing going for it.
my sensors indicate KINECTS is "LOST IN SPACE"
DANGER,DANGER it dose not COMPUTE!! my long range scanner indicate PS MOVE will out sell kinect 5-1 ...kinect is a bubbling-neecompoop.
The thing is casuals don't watch E3 or even know what the lag is. They may buy it like no tomorrow.
was a piece of crap i'm sorry that was the worst thing i've ever seen on a e3 conference. if anyone can't see that this is just eyetoy than i feel sorry for them.
....your are psyched about MOVE and think it is TEH BESTAZ THING EVA
thump thump bump* the laughter of son and father in the upstairs apartment...Daddy hit the balls harder! yeah ur the best daddy! I love u daddy!
laughter and yelling continues for hours until I heard: Police. Get down on the floor asshole!
lol MS innovatess while ps move is wii hd? yet every kinect game shown was a copy of something the wii already did or a copy of something eyetoy already did. some people just don't know when to let things go. MS had the worst showing in E3 history get over it.
Sony started motion control
MS conference a trainwreck? OMG you people are delusional! These so called "gamers" can't even grasp what the purpose of MS's conference was for. Embarassing to say the least. From the feedback i got from "gamers" that couldn't care less about the so called "war" and N4G, every single one of them was impressed. Games were missing from this conference for a reason. The majority of the people on here are either too young or too stupid to relize what MS's goal was. The rest with a brain are hurting fanboy's searching for negatives. Just rememeber i'll be shaking my head laughing at how uneducated all of you really are. ;)
yes, please elaborate your long and insulting opinion.
no need to get all upset. Calling others names will not make you seem right.
Well, I guess the usual suspects are out now that they got their talking points to try to defend that mess of a conference (and yes, it was a complete mess, no matter how much you try to spin it).
Don't forget, this was the same site that was trying to sell us that fanboys were the only ones upset over the possibility of Versus going multiplat, and made two different articles whining that people were upset and that they were the only ones that were hoping that it happened.
Thing is, I'd thought it would take longer than THIS for SOMEONE to come up with some excuses to distract us from the problems that are already plaguing Kinect.
ps move innovates too cause is like a wii mote but also uses the ps eye toy and it's more precise i think both kinect and move will be a new experience in its unike way
I thought trapperdan was green for a second. I cant believe that they're still clinging to Kinect after seeing that... im glad there are people that arent blind fanboys though.
all I have to say is Gears, Halo, Fable were all good but no APB or Crackdown was a dissapointment, Kinect seemed very laggy, and looks to be way too expensive. Microsoft really lucked out with portal 2 going Better on PS3.
Sony did great by A. kevin butler, B. showing some sweet surprises like Twisted metal and Dead Space / medal of honor exclusive stuff. C. showing us the games we want like Infamous 2, Killzone 3, Little Big Planet 2, Gran Turismo 5(which I am really excited for) and announcing a sly cooper collection (which was awesome) none of that was bad and I even left out the move incase people arent intrested in motion controls. if you take the move out of the equation its still good and playstation plus made the Sony press conference even sweeter. so with that being said despite waht the motion control future is Sony wins and by the looks of it (considering the bad press for kinect and the good press for the move) PS Move looks like its rising up above the competition.
"Oh hey guys! We just got free 360s from the Microsoft conference LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!"
"Meanwhile Microsoft has shown they can do a lot more than mimic and improve; they can create and lead." => really? then why most of their games are just wii and eyetoy rip-offs?
If anything, MS just took off where EyeToy left of. Of course, no one has a problem with that and it's innovative and inspiring. Lol, bullshit, I have PS Eye controlled games that are "controller free" and allow me to navigate the game with my hands, menus included. That would make me the controller (sound familiar?). All this sugar coating MS is doing to this tech has brainwashed a lot of kids into thinking this sh!t is original.
6 axis and the wiimote more closely than i would with Move. as both the 6axis and wiimote only use gyroscopes and sensors within the controller to figure out movement. Move uses internal sensors, and a camera as input devices. The camera has been out for 7 years plus, and the 6 axis came out the same time as the wii. So how has sony copied anything. They have only advanced their own tech.
And the PS Move isn't? I'm guessing we haven't seen what the Move is doing on the Wii before? Move is hardly doing anything new...
Nobody is claiming that move is something new and revolutionary, what they are saying is that it does what a wiimote does but more accurately.
Augmented reality? Can wii do that? No
How about the controller knowing where you are in 3d space? Can wii do that? No.
How about facial recognition? How about using 2 controllers to accurately move your character 1 to 1 with precise movements of both arms and headtracking? Can wii do those? No.
Face it....the move is the best of both the wii and kinect.

Post subject: Help Requested Choosing Quality Cookware
Greetings, engineers!
This is my first post here, and is perhaps a bit verbose. I hope you will forgive this, I am excited and have been researching the issues within for several days.
I am a novice home cook who has been trying to increase my proficiency and range of techniques for about a year. I have decided it is time to replace my wildly mistreated, gouged, pitted and discolored store brand teflon coated anodized aluminum cookware. I want to get a versatile set of fry pans, sauce pans, and perhaps a wok/chef pan that will last for my lifetime, and preferably longer. The second most important consideration is ease of cleanup and overall difficulty of care. No matter what I purchase (or the manufacturer's recommendation), I do not intend to use a dishwasher, steel wool, or harsh abrasives with any of this cookware.
Using resources on this site and others I have done a lot of research into materials and preferences of those more experience than myself. While I initially was leaning toward an 100% anodized aluminum solution (Calphalon style) for its non-stick properties, I have been convinced that stainless steel is a better surface to actually come into contact with the food. I am still concerned with the difficulty of cleaning stainless steel however.
I have not considered cookware containing copper. The
materials of cookware article
here convinced me that it is unnecessary. It seems to serve the same purpose as aluminum but at a significantly higher cost. Please disabuse me of this notion if I am mistaken. I am far more concerned with function and longevity than form.
At this preliminary juncture, I have three styles of cookware that are my leading contenders. Please do not limit your advice to choosing among these three, I am quite interested in the full spectrum of your informed opinion. Also, please completely ignore cost at his point and pretend that price is no object. I am seeking an objective analysis of the quality and properties of the cookware, and I will consider cost restrictions subsequently.
Fully clad stainless steel with an aluminum core
All-Clad Tri-ply
): Stainless steel inside and out with an aluminum core. Appears to be the most popular option. I am uncertain what having stainless steel on the outside of the utensil adds except for cost and a shiny appearance.
Aluminum with a stainless steel cooking surface
All-Clad MC²
): Aluminum utensil (usually brushed on the outside) with a stainless steel cooking surface. I imagine that an outside of brushed aluminum is easier to clean than stainless, but I have no evidence to support this.
Complicated multi-layer utensil
All-Clad LTD2
): There are now a number of 5-ply options available. I am not sure what having so many layers might add in terms of heat distribution or ease of cleaning. Is anodized aluminum easier to clean than brushed aluminum or stainless? In the LTD2 line specifically, does the middle layer of stainless steel actually help better distribute heat as the manufacturer claims? Do any 5-ply units add any useful functionality over simpler options?
As far as cleaning and proper upkeep goes, I do intend to have proper materials such as Bar Keepers Friend, a soft sponge, and appropriate liquid detergent on hand. I will follow the advice on this forum and others in terms of waiting for the cookware to cool before cleaning and boiling soapy dishwater in the pans for tough cooked-on bits. I have seen that nylon scouring pads are recommended, but I am not sure if this includes the rough green side of a Brillo pad or similar things that (to me) seem like they might scratch the utensils. What's the roughest thing I can use to clean polished stainless, aluminum, or anodized aluminum?
Thank you for your insight and advice!

Post subject:
a couple of things to think about:
be careful of "units" - for example in the article cited note that aluminum "holds" more heat than cast iron. huh? why is cast iron so popular for "holding heat?" - well, because the 'normalized' coefficient (in this case) is by mass - heft a cast iron pan and an aluminum pan and it's clear that aluminum may hold more heat per pound, but there's more pounds of cast iron to the pot....
in a similar vein, "conductivity" - the coefficient is normalized on cross-sectional area. the "thickness" of an aluminum pan and a stainless pan is not the same.
so don't just look at the coefficient / "number" - it needs to be taken in context of application.
in terms of long term use and stability, I'd recommend stainless exterior and interior with riveted handles. there are any number of respected brands, which doesn't include "celebrity" stuff. Tramontina is frequently cited as a very good value - but all that goes out the window when it comes to sales & "specials"
look for a thick bottom. a lot of the "cast of thousands of layers" are so thin, the thousands of layers can only have been applied by electro-plating - for heat conductivity you need cross section.
for a wok - get a carbon steel type - they're inexpensive and it's the best material for the job. do not buy a "non-stick" wok - wok is high heat cooking and the high heat will kill any non-stick coating.
sets: you'll hear advice - don't buy a set - you get/pay for a lot of stuff you'll never use. true to the point of economics. not infrequently you can buy a set, throw away the useless stuff, and spend less money than piece by piece.
unless you are well experienced and can sit down and make a list of must have sizes and types - shy away from the 300 pc sets. after you have "the basics" you can expand on a pc by pc basis.
and then there's my favorite - copper clad with a stainless interior. yes, it's expensive but it performs like no other - and I've had most/used of them. the only metal that conducts heat better/faster than copper is silver - and sterling silver pots are _really_ expensive.
a benefit which is most appreciated when using gas cooking: copper heats and cools fast - i.e. it is very responsive. if you go there - go with the thick stuff - 2.5 or 3.0 mm - the thin stuff does not perform in such a spectacular matter - pretty - but mostly for show / serving - not serious cooking.
I have a bunch of 3mm copper cookware. my kids are arguing over 'who gets the copper'
I also have some old Griswold cast iron pans that are wonderful - very close to Teflon for non-stick.
I also have a $10 ten-inch Teflon fry pan for the really finicky stuff - it wears out - last 18-24 months, I toss it and buy another. Teflon is wonderfully non-stick, but it is no "forever"
I also have a Martha Stewart stockpot that I have no complaints about.
don't fall for the Scanpan, Greenpan mystical "new" non-stick stuff. the track record is very spotty - the only people I've seen/read/heard of that like it have only used it a week - or like one fellow who expressed his satisfaction after "years" and who uses the pan once a month, or so....
hard anodized aluminum (look up the technical definition of hard anodized for an interesting read) is an absolute joke. don't really care to recount the $$ of Calphalon I've tossed in the recycle bin - btw, the Calphalon "warranty" is worthless, in my first hand experience.

Thank you for your informative reply Dilbert!
Can you tell me about the advantages (and disadvantages) of having stainless steel on the outside of the cookware? Is it easier to clean than aluminum or copper?

>>stainless on the outside
it is most definitely easier to "clean" than copper. I should have added about copper - if you figger to have it all hung up and gleaming like Julia Child - you're gonna need a scullery maid. I use mine everyday (not every pc every day . . ) and it will require polishing after every use if you want the gleem&shine thing. I don't display mine, I cook with it.
aluminum is softer than stainless, more reactive than stainless and oxidizes over time. general maintenance on stainless is 'easier'
but frankly, if you find a set/line/pot/pan you really like the heft & feel of but alas and alack it is aluminum based, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. there just is no single one and only "best" brand/material
Edit - if it is stainless interior; aluminum exterior, being reactive, is an impractical choice for an entire set.

Thanks again, Dilbert! You have convinced me about the importance of a fully clad stainless steel set of cookware. I think I have come to a decision about which set I want to try.
I am planning to purchase the
Cuisinart MultiClad Pro Stainless Steel 12-Piece Cookware Set
. It's a fully clad stainless steel with aluminum in the bottom and continuously up through the walls of the cookware. It is also the
second-best selling set
on Amazon now. The runner up is from the fresh 2011 redesign of All-Clad's similar tri-ply line, the
Stainless Steel 14 Piece Cookware Set
. Both have excellent reviews on Amazon and the internet at large, but ultimately the price difference of $881 between the two, with what seems to perhaps not be a commensurate increase in quality of output is a major influence. The reviews for the Cuisinart and the All-Clad from only-cookware.com were especially informative and helpful in knowing which of the reviews to ignore due to an inexperienced writer and why people were noticing that manufacturers were no longer using an 18/10 mix for their stainless steel (small changes were required to get induction working).
Thanks again to everyone who read my question and I hope this thread is useful to anyone doing their own research. I'll post more about my experiences here after I have the cookware for a while.

Post subject: Like Dilbert said...
I generally agree with all that Dilbert said in his post. A couple of things to amplify. First, if you are really wanting to keep these for a lifetime, you should go with all-clad stainless and not buy cuisinart. The cuisinart line of cookware is designed to look something like the real stuff, but it ain't. If you want objective evidence, walk into any fine dining establishment and look in the kitchen. Any chef who trained at the acclaimed Culinary Institute of America (and most other famous cooking programs) will have his/her shelves lined with all-clad. That's what they use at the school, its what most pro's use, and its built to last. It has all the features you want: heavy, stainless lining, strong riveted handles that do not retain or conduct heat. If you must use teflon, get a cheap aluminum teflon pan at a restaurant supply store and throw it out at the very first sign of cracking, pitting or chipping. Instead, consider augmenting your collection with a "blue" carbon steal saute pan for searing proteins (check out de Buyer pans from Faymont France, available lots of places). If you season those pans right, they can take much more abuse, much higher heat and will be every bit as non-stick as cheap teflon (and will last a life time).

Well I'm a scanpan user of 30 years, I cook with them every day, and I own no other pans, so now you know someone who has used it for more than a week.
The first generation of Scanpans were really only ever stick RESISTANT. Those are my 30 years old pans, which I was still using up until recently (they are now in storage).
The second generation pans are truly nonstick and the surface is still as tough as ever (perhaps tougher).
Scanpans are not a "scam" or "mystical" (by which I presume you meant "mythical" since the science behind non-stick is just that, science). Properly used (and I DO use metal utensils in them a good portion of the time) they last virtually forever. These 2nd gen Scanpans are probably about 6 years old now and still going strong. These have even held up to being used, abused, and generally banged around in a 5 bachelor household for the first couple of years of their life-in-use.
You can have my Scanpans when you pry them out of my cold dead hands, which, come to think of it, might not be all that hard since the exterior is as non-stick as the interior...

New York: Two-year-olds who are still using bottles are more likely to be obese by kindergarten, a new study finds.
Researchers who studied 6,750 U.S. children found that toddlers who were still drinking from bottles at age 2 were one-third more likely than other kids to be obese at the age of 5.
The researchers do not know whether long-term bottle-feeding is directly to blame.
But they say their findings raise the possibility that weaning babies from the bottle around their first birthday could help prevent excessive weight gain.
Pediatricians already advise parents to wean children from the bottle to toddler-friendly cups when they are about 12 to 14 months old, or even earlier.
That, however, is largely because prolonged bottle-feeding, especially overnight, is thought to boost the risk of cavities. It may also contribute to iron deficiency.
The current findings, published in the Journal of Pediatrics, may offer parents added incentive to follow those recommendations, according to lead researcher Rachel A. Gooze, a doctoral candidate in public health at Temple University in Philadelphia.2
And that incentive may be needed, she noted in an interview, since it seems that many 2-year-olds are still using bottles.
Of the children Gooze and her colleagues studied, 1 in 5 was still using a bottle at the age of 24 months -- either at night or all the time.
And of those long-term bottle users, roughly 1 in 5 was obese at the age of 5, versus about 1 in 6 children who`d been weaned earlier.
The researchers then looked at a number of factors that could affect a child`s risk of obesity -- including the mother`s weight, family income and education, and whether the child had ever been breastfed.
They found that prolonged bottle-feeding, itself, was linked to a 33 percent increase in children`s risk of obesity.
The connection does not prove cause-and-effect, Gooze said.
But it`s possible that for some kids, the bottle is providing unneeded calories.
"The bottle may be providing a source of comfort, rather than meeting nutritional needs," Gooze said.
And the extra calories could be substantial. As an example, Gooze noted that if an average-size 2-year-old girl drinks an 8-ounce bottle of whole milk at bedtime, that would meet 12 percent of her calorie needs for the day.
Prolonged bottle-feeding may also get in the way of toddlers having a varied, nutritious diet, according to Dr. Marc S. Jacobson, a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics` Obesity Leadership Workgroup.
"Parents often say that it`s hard to get kids to eat vegetables," Jacobson noted in an interview.
One way to help with that, he said, is to "start early" -- gradually introducing foods of different tastes, textures and colors into babies` and toddlers` diets.
In general, parents should start introducing solid foods at the age of 6 months. Before that, experts recommend exclusive breastfeeding -- a practice that has been linked to a lower risk of childhood obesity, Jacobson pointed out.
Like Gooze, Jacobson noted that the current study shows an association, and not necessarily cause-and-effect. But he said the findings do turn attention to the importance of early life in the risk of childhood obesity.
"A lot of the public discussion about the obesity epidemic has been about fast food, junk food and soda," Jacobson said. "But there are also infant feeding issues associated with obesity."
Weaning babies from the bottle to the cup can be hard, Gooze noted, particularly from the "ritual" of the bedtime bottle.
Jacobson said that if parents are having a tough time, they can talk with their pediatrician about ways to smooth the transition. "That`s what the pediatrician is there for," he said.

NeoSmart Technologies has published a (fairly colorful and strongly-opinionated?) article on the new Windows 8 "touch-friendly" boot menu, and how in many ways it has come to resemble a mini-OS more than a traditional boot loader, introducing a completely new boot sequence and possibly even operating in protected mode. Also touches briefly on changes relating to the new "Secure Boot" initiative.

Cyprus Rejects Rescue Plan
Nation's Future in Euro Zone in Doubt After Blocking Controversial Tax on Deposits
Cyprus's parliament rejected its government's bailout deal with the euro zone without a single vote in its favor, a move that could hasten the potential collapse of its banks and send the tiny island nation hurtling out of the euro zone.
Even the ruling party of President Nicos Anastasiades, who negotiated the agreement four days ago, declined to support it, leaving the country with few options to avert a financial-sector meltdown. The rejection was centered on the most controversial aspect of the deal—a tax on individual...

ISU soccer looks to defend title
POCATELLO — The last time the Idaho State soccer team was on the pitch at Davis Field they were celebrating a Big Sky Conference Championship.
During that weekend in November freshman goalie Sheridan Hapsic, helped propel the Bengals to the title after coming up with two huge saves during shoot out wins over Weber State in the semifinals and Montana in the finals.
Hapsic earned the tournament MVP award for her stellar performance as the Bengals moved on to the NCAA College Cup to take on top seeded Stanford.
The Bengals lost that game 3-0 to the Cardinal ending the season.
Wednesday the Bengals opened up practice for the 2013 with plenty of new faces making their first appearance in the orange and black.
"I can't believe how fast this came," ISU head coach Allison Gibson said. "I know time actually goes the same speed every year, but this year it just seemed extremely fast and it feels like we were just out here."
"I take that as a good thing and it is just that much excitement around the team and the program," Gibson said. "Our goal is to pick up where we left off and not to drop off or rebuild different things, but to enhance what we have already done well."
That should not be hard to do as the team returns all but three starters from a year ago including Big Sky co-offensive MVP Amanda Ellsworth and most of the starting back line defenders.
Where the Bengals will have to make up the biggest loss is on offense where 10 goal scorer Rachel Strawn and midfielder Anna Pingree have graduated.
The 14 goals scored by the duo accounted for almost half of the goals scored by the Bengals last season.
The early part of fall camp the team will be working on finding ways to replace those goals.
"Anyone can step up, and I think that a key point for our team and our season is to find out who will actually step for us," Ellsworth said. "It could be Laura Benson or Ka'imi Morreira, they are both returners or it could be one of the freshman like Jessica Sanchez who is coming in and could be newcomer of the year."
The next few weeks and three exhibition games will be instrumental in deciding who will help Ellsworth with the scoring load.
"I think it will definitely be a challenge to replace those three big players from last season," Gibson said. "After the morning session it was apparent that the seniors left big holes and we have some key freshman who are already stepping up and filling key places. But those holes will be tough to fill. I told the team that's my job to find players to fill holes, you come to practice open minded and I will do the rest."
One luxury that Gibson does have is three experienced goalkeepers.
Not only doses Hapsic return, but redshirt junior Carly Hutchings-Maloney return to the mix after missing last year with an injury. Throw in sophomore Maria Dela Cruz who spent part of her summer playing with the Philipines national team and the Bengals have a three-headed monster in the net.
"I had a meeting with the goalies this morning and what I told them was I am looking for the one of you has the best chemistry with the back line, the one of you that can make the big saves at critical times and the one of you can do the most preventative work," Gibson said. "I made it clear that I want them to own the back line and make to where they are not having to make key saves. I put a lot of the shots that get played on the keepers because they have 100% control of that back line in front of them and the back line knows that."
With a limited amount of unknowns going into the season the Bengals are greatly aware of one thing, they will play with a target on their backs all season long.
Earlier in the day Wednesday the Big Sky Conference released its preseason soccer poll and to no real surprise the Bengals along with Portland State will voted as the favorites to win the league.
"I told the girls that the one thing you can take from the poll is that you finally got the respect you deserve," Gibson said. "Every year no matter how well we do the year before we are at the bottom of the polls, no we have to go out and live up to it again."
ISU was picked to finish seventh in the 2012 preseason poll, they went on to share the regular season title and host the conference tournament vis a tiebreaker.
This season the team will also loofa to bring the Governors Cup back to Pocatello. The annual battle with the University of Idaho and Boise State will take place at Davis Field Aug. 23-25.
But before any of that gets going the Bengals will play what they consider three exhibition games beginning with Saturday's Alumni Game.
"We are looking at these games as three exhibitions and it will give us a chance to go up against someone else for the first time," Gibson said. "It will give our new players some game experience and the rest of the team the opportunity to work on formations and our defensive alignments.
The Alumni Game is Saturday at 1 p.m. at Davis Field in Pocatello.

The AIMM Young study is a collaboration between Children's National Medical Center (CNMC) and colleges/universities nationwide--currently including Howard University (HU), East Carolina University (ECU), and University of Massachusetts, Amherst (U Mass). This study obtains a variety of baseline measures (such as serum biomarkers related to metabolic syndrome, anthropometrics, muscle strength, and fitness testing) along with genetic information from healthy college-age (18-35 years) young adults in efforts to identify phenotype-genotype associations that may predispose individuals to developing metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and/or related diseases such as obesity.
We hypothesized that certain genetic variations will be protective against metabolic syndrome, while others will show a strong correlation with specific components of metabolic syndrome disease. We expect that the study of "pre-symptomatic," young individuals will facilitate the identification of genetic risk loci for metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Younger populations typically have less confounding variables, and this facilitates normalizing of metabolic syndrome features and environment/lifestyle. Additionally, young subjects can provide more robust longitudinal data, and be recruited into subsequent interventions to reverse the trend towards metabolic syndrome, rather than the more difficult task of reversing type 2 diabetes in older populations. The data collected will be stratified according to gender, age, ethnicity, genotype, and other phenotypic measures to determine how these factors influence disease risk.

Valuing commoditiesis a bit like shopping for a wardrobe. For the latest haute couture styles you're going to pay a premium while abundant inventories of basics will be much cheaper.
Long-term trends including a growing middle class and increased industrial development in emerging markets should make most commodities long-term winners, but determining the hot performers over the next 12 months is trickier.
Like buyers who price high fashion, some commodity managers break the decision down to supply levels.
"Tight inventory levels and supply shocks often drive commodity prices higher," says Sassan Alizadeh of Highbridge Capital Management. "Many of the commodities that have rallied a lot over the past few years have been in tight supply."
Using this metric, 2012 should be a good year for cornand refined oil products. Corn is already in tight supply worldwide, and expectations of poor weather in the growing regions of South America over the next several months could cause inventories to shrink further.
With prices back over $100 per barrel, crude oillooks like another strong performer, although the oil situation is complicated.
U.S. demand for oil has been sluggish since the financial crisis while domestic supply is more than ample as measured by the price of West Texas Intermediate or WTI crude.
Supplies of unleaded gasolineand heating oil, however, are much lower, providing an opportunity. If you've filled up recently, it's easy to see the attraction of betting on a rise in gas prices through gasoline futures contracts.
Oil produced outside the U.S., as measured by Brent crude, is more expensive and more susceptible to price spikes from potential supply disruptions in the Persian Gulf.
"An escalation in Iran would be supportive for energy prices, especially for the energy commodities with lower levels of inventory such as Brent crude," adds Highbridge's Mark Nodelman. "This is how prices responded to the crisis in Libya in early 2011."
Taking both supply and demand into account leads Van Eck Global's Charl Malan to the semi-precious metals platinum and palladium. Malan, a senior metals and mining analyst for the commodity asset manager, says both metals should benefit from surging auto demand in China. (Platinum and palladium are used in catalytic converters for gas and diesel engines, respectively.)
Both metals are mined primarily in South Africa, where poor profitability, productivity and unrest among union workers are hampering supply. Due to the profitability issue, Malan favors investing directly in the commodities rather than mining stocks.
You can do this through ETFs that hold bars of the metals like ETFS Physical Platinum Shares and ETFS Physical Palladium Shares or exchange traded notes, ETNs, that invest in platinum futures contracts like iPath Dow Jones-UBS Platinum Total Return Sub-Index ETN.
Copperis also thriving due to supply/demand imbalances. A wide variety of uses makes this industrial metal a bellwether of global growth.
Market watchers expect copper demand to increase at a 4 percent annual rate while the world's largest producer, Freeport McMoRan, struggles to keep its production growth at 3 percent.
Copper supply faces secular headwinds, which should keep prices strong, says Annapolis, Md.-based commodity asset manager Adrian Day. Production has fallen the last two years despite record prices.
Most of the world's easily accessible copper deposits have been exploited, making discovery and extraction of new copper expensive and time consuming. The latest major copper discovery was made in Mongolia in 1997but production there won't commence for two more years.
Copper miners enjoy high profit margins, making mining stocks the best way to gain exposure to the commodity, says Malan.
Whilecorn, energyand some industrial metals look particularly well positioned for gains in the year ahead, the secular outlook for hard assets also remains strongly bullish.
"Commodities need economic growth,'' says Day. "Low interest rates have been positive and a declining dollar also helps. Both trends are still intact."

No, Sending Spam Text Messages Is Not The Same As Hacking Someone's Phone
from the misusing-computer-fraud-law dept
Plaintiff brings three possible claims: (1) a claim for obtaining information from her phone; (2) a claim for transmitting information or code through her phone; and (3) a claim for "accessing" her phone.So, nice try, but no dice. Someone sending unsolicited text messages to your mobile phone may be annoying (and potentially illegal under other laws), but it's not hacking under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
Information Claim: The court rejects the information-based claim because there's no information that WSOD allegedly obtained through accessing the plaintiff's phone. Plaintiff analogizes to websites and argues that any time someone sends a message to a mobile phone, information is "obtained" in the same way that information is obtained any time someone accesses a website. The court rejects this analogy, finding that "there is a fundamental difference between viewing websites and communicating with wireless devices such as cell phones by sending text messages." Even if the transmission of an unwanted text message somehow resulted in the "obtaining of information," the court concludes that there's no loss as a result of defendant having obtained the information.
Transmission Claim: The transmission claim requires plaintiff to allege that WSOD caused the transmission of code or information and as a result "intentionally caused damage without authorization" to plaintiff's device. The complaint fails on both counts. There wasn't a credible allegation of damage (there was no allegation of impairment to the machine) or of WSOD's intent to cause the damage.
Access Claim: The court rejects the access claim since plaintiff does not adequately allege that the unauthorized access was intentional.

Back in late August of this year, we brought you a story on how Facebook was forcing its employees to switch to Android in order to get them to see just how bad the app was. We've seen nary an improvement to the Android Facebook app since then, but Facebook isn't giving up.
Techcrunch has been investigating just what's going on inside Facebook. They were able to obtain some choice quotes from a Facebook spokesperson, along with some interesting propaganda-style posters promoting Android.
The campaign to get Facebook employees on Android devices is being called "Droidfooding." A clever play on dogfooding, or using your own software, and Android. Since Facebook originally encouraged iPhone use, it's now left making up ground when it comes to getting their employees on a wide variety of devices. Posters promoting the Droidfooding campaign now line the walls of Facebook, reminding employees that they can switch today and detailing sales projections that show Android OS dwarfing the iPhone.
So just how is the campaign working out? According to Facebook, there's definitely progress being made: "We've created more awareness that Android devices are available … there's plenty of people here carrying around both devices, and not just engineers and not just mobile people."
Getting employees to use Android phones is just half the battle. The other half is getting those employees to submit bugs and maintain a steady flow of information. Facebook is using a "Rage Shake" feature in beta builds to help speed up the process. Employees simply need to shake their phone, usually in rage, and it submits all the essential details of what's going on to the appropriate developers.
There's no telling when Facebook's Droidfooding efforts will finally pay off. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised a native Facebook client for Android was coming in the near future, but we haven't heard much since the initial announcement. The more employees Facebook has using and testing Android software, the faster we're likely to see that client. One thing's for certain: it can't come soon enough.

The performance improvements in the XAML stack alone are crazy.
They've brought some more complex WPF features while *improving performance*. You'll remember that WPF was a swiss army knife of UI toolkits, but had...erm...spotty performance.
With this iteration of the XAML stack, they got like 40% improvement in binding perf, double digit improvement in start up perf, lazy loading of UI elements and parsing of resources, better interop with DX, more built in controls, etc.
They've actually fixed the annoying Virtualizing UI bug which killed performance for Mouse+Keyboard users.
They've also fleshed out the WinRT API quite a bit (surprise to some of the naysayers here, an API isn't frozen in time, it has improved). Most radical are the VPN, Point of Service, and Devices API which are nice.
In a nutshell, Metro apps will be faster and more feature filled. It will eventually get to the point where functionally they can do what Windows applications for the Desktop do, without the reliability issues.
