We are having problems with the performance using the queue delivery mode. When I run the Email_Messages query, it returns a lot of records in "Ready" state. If I restart the service, then finally those records get the "Delivered" state. The execution interval of the service has been set to 3 minutes. This delay affects the end user's work. Some of those mails are lasting until 1 hour to be delivered.
What can we do to improve the service's performance and avoid the need of restarting it?
Thanks in advance.

Hello from Brooklyn! I'm not sure how, but after a cross-country red eye, hard morning nap, renewed day of sightseeing, lackluster (for shame!) dim sum, Chinatown grocery shopping and subway dancing, we kept the VeganMoFo spirit of Dinner with Jules alive with a homemade dinner with Jules…and Jen (and her boyfriend and myself) last night. Go figure, our grocery choices resulted in what was basically a curry noodle soup structure meets the flavors of Khmer amok, vegan style.
The Cambodian-inspired noodle soup featured a lemongrass-heavy broth with plenty of minced garlic, ginger, jalapeño and habañero peppers, freshly ground black pepper, mellow miso, coconut milk, soy sauce, fresh lime juice, a great pinch of amok powder picked up at the Siem Reap night market, thin rice noodles, baked tofu, sliced potatoes, carrots and sesame steamed yu choi, which was a wonderful find. My sister and her boyfriend don't have much time for cooking, and when they do, it's Italian, so it was fun to treat them to something homemade, with such extraordinarily different flavors.
I remain, regretfully, between cameras, and thank dear J. Legume for the following:
Bagel bonus.
Sometimes it pains me how much no other bagels compare to the thick, chewy classics of my home state.

Dear Annie: Three years ago, my father had a big fight with his sister, my "Aunt Joan." Aunt Joan did some things that were truly selfish and hurtful, and all of the family agrees that her actions were inexcusable. She has since cut off all contact with the family.
Dear Annie: I'm a public school teacher with 20 years of experience, but this one has me shaken.
Dear Annie: My 20-year-old son from a previous marriage lives with my husband and me. "Jacob" is in his second year of college and maintains a B average. He has worked the same part-time job since he turned 16 and pays all of his own bills, including car insurance, cell phone and basic necessities. Student loans cover his tuition. He is a terrific kid, never disrespectful, and is loved by everyone.
Dear Annie: My neighbors are kind, caring and amazingly nosy. I recently began working from home in order to take care of my partner. I'm grateful that my company allows me to do this. But these well-intentioned neighbors just won't believe I am employed. They insist that since I am at home all day, I am simply too proud to admit I lost my job. Every time we meet, they ask, "So, you still looking for work?"
Dear Annie: I've known my 26-year-old stepdaughter, "Monica," since she was 5. She never spent much time with her father, but when the first grandchild was born, she came by more often because she wanted a babysitter. Her dad and I were together 21 years before he passed away six months ago.
Dear Annie: How do I deal with being married to someone I simply do not like? After 15 years, I realize that I don't enjoy being around my husband. I look forward to him leaving the house. It is hard for me to do anything for someone I feel nothing for. I am just going through the motions. Is this what marriage is supposed to be?
Dear Annie: My relationship with my 22-year-old daughter, "Lana," has become impossible. She is a total slob. She lived here over the summer and did exactly one load of laundry. It was not uncommon to come home and find dishes in the sink because she "didn't have time" to empty the dishwasher. Her clothes and shoes were everywhere. My husband paid rent on her college apartment so she could keep it while she worked here for the summer, and she decided to use her own money to take a weeklong vacation. She didn't pay her car insurance (my ...
Dear Annie: My husband and I are victims of a "home invasion." My 60-year-old sister, one of 13 siblings, recently arrived at our house, unannounced, with her roommate and her large dog. (We have a cat.)
Dear Annie: My sister, "Didi," has been living with my husband and me for several months. Didi pays a modest amount of rent based on her income -- but we set it up before she started working more consistently. She now has a part-time job and still doesn't contribute anything more. If she were saving her money, I would understand, but she's spending it on clothes and expensive makeup. She rarely helps around the house with cleaning or cooking.
Dear Annie: I am 26 years old and happily married. We recently moved into our first home, next door to "Tom and Sophie," a childless 45-year-old couple. My wife likes Sophie, and I enjoyed Tom's company until he asked me to join him on a fishing trip.
Dear Annie: My roommate, "Trish," and I are good friends, and we are both attending the same college. Last spring, her boyfriend spent a lot of time at our apartment. He stayed overnight several times, which made me uncomfortable. I spoke with both of them about it and offered to spend one night a week at my parents' house so they could have the apartment to themselves. Trish agreed, but her boyfriend didn't. He continued to hang out at the apartment even when she wasn't there and liked to walk around in his underwear without a shirt.
Dear Annie: I don't have the best relationship with my nephew, "Bob." He has asked for a number of favors from me in the past and has gotten very nasty when things didn't go his way. He has also bragged about abusing people and pets, and he enjoys making people angry, violating laws and bucking authority.
Dear Annie: I am 19 years old and a sophomore in college. I have a large circle of friends who are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Or so I thought.
Dear Annie: I am concerned about my mother, a 66-year-old widow of 15 years. When my father was alive, Mom worked full time, kept a reasonably clean house and raised two children by herself. (My father was an alcoholic who was not around much.) In the years since Dad died, however, the house has gone to ruin.
Dear Annie: Six months ago, I met the girl of my dreams at a restaurant that I frequent several times a week. I was eating lunch there long before she started serving, but the first day I saw her, I began sitting in her section.

Sham Israeli ElectionsWritten by Stephen Lendman Subject: Israel
by Stephen Lendman
On November 6, America's sham process occurs. On January 22, Israelis face the same Hobson's choice. Real choice is excluded from both ballots. Democracy is hypocrisy in both countries.
Congress recessed until post-election. Israel's Knesset just adjourned. On October 16, Haaretz headlined "As Knesset ends term, we should say 'good riddance,' " saying:
It's Israel's most anti-democratic one ever. It "brought the tyranny of the majority to new heights." Hardline extremists ran "roughshod over vulnerable minorities, first and foremost Israeli Arabs, as well as over civil society groups and human rights organizations."
They targeted free expression and assembly. They intimidated independent media. They supported lawless settlement expansions on stolen Palestinian land.
"(L)ed by Netanyahu and other senior ministers, (they) searched tirelessly for ways to violate" High Court rulings and make "state prosecution(s) odious."
Israel's 18th Knesset trashed rule of law principles. It mocked democratic values. It governed to the right of some despots. It gave Judaism a bad name. It enacted one repressive law after another. It took unprincipled shame to its highest level in Israeli history.
As its term ends, "good riddance" to what no free society should tolerate. Netanyahu, of course, is its worst member. He's a lawless world class thug.
He makes even sham democracy look like despotism. Israeli Arabs and Occupied Palestinians feel his harshness most. He despises Islam and shows it. He's unfit to serve. He belongs in prison. He's an illegitimate head of state.
On October 9, he announced early elections. Originally scheduled for September 2013, he said they'll occur in three months. He "decided for the benefit of Israel to hold (them) as quickly as possible."
He doesn't give a damn about Israel's benefit, just his own and supportive hardliners. On national television, he lied. He claimed his coalition government couldn't agree on a 2013 national budget. He said Israel's "most stable government in decades" is ending.
He claimed it helped strengthen Israel's security and fortify its economy during hard times. He stressed preventing Iran from having nuclear weapons.
He knows they have no plans to obtain them. Israel's so-called "stable government" is its most repressive ever. Early elections aren't because of budget disagreements. Netanyahu wants them when he's most able to retain a parliamentary majority.
Western and Israeli politics aren't about issues. They're about securing power and keeping it.
On October 11, Netanyahu announced elections will occur on January 22. It's two days after America's inauguration. Netanyahu openly favors Romney. He and Obama express mutual dislike.
It's hard imagining why anyone likes either of them. They both head rogue regimes. They rule lawlessness. In 2013, expect no change in either country.
Polls show Obama and Romney closely matched. An Israeli Dialog poll shows Netanyahu's hardline coalition favored to win. Israelis denied choice seem stuck with him. Dread what's coming in both countries for good reason.
On October 17, Haaretz contributor Carlo Stenger headlined "Israel's upcoming elections: No hope we can believe it," saying:
Israeli voters get sham options like Americans. Reality denies them real ones. Democracy exists in name only. Like Congress, hardliners infest the Knesset like crabgrass besets lawns. It's dominant and dismissive of rule of law principles. It spurns other democratic values.
Whatever changes show up in January, they're not enough to matter. "Israeli politics are bound to remain the same. (Its) defining characteristic" reflects coalition religious and political extremism. Together they're toxic.
Netanyahu looks certain for another term. Repressive Knesset politics will follow.
"What does this mean for Israel's future? Netanyahu has proven beyond a doubt that he is not willing to move towards a viable Palestinian state. His primary achievement this term has been to put the Palestinian issue on the backburner…."
At the same time, he prioritizes a nonexistent Iranian threat. "In less than 100 days, the people of Israel will decide who will lead them in the face of the greatest security challenges we have known since the state was established," he claimed.
"Anyone who belittles the threat posed by a nuclear Iran on Israel is not worthy of leading the state of Israel for even one day. Today, unprecedented sanctions are imposed on Iran, which issue a harsh blow to its economy. We now have capabilities to operate against Iran that we did not have in the past."
Fear is his electoral strategy. So is duplicity. Israelis, like Americans, fall for the scam every time.
Israeli voters ignore reality. They also don't address "the one, big issue that truly determines Israel's fate as the democratic homeland of the Jews - the occupation" that's continued "for more than two-thirds of Israel's history."
Failure to act responsibly assures "an inevitable tragedy." West of the Jordan, Arabs already outnumber Jews. At the same time, they're treated like sub-humans. No state can survive governing this way.
Claiming territory illegally and governing repressively "means the (eventual) end of the democratic homeland of the Jews." The "Titanic" Israel is sinking.
Stenger stopped short of admitting it sank long ago. What passes for democracy in Israel is none at all. Netanyahu enforces police state harshness. He's also recklessly belligerent.
In the last 10 days, multiple air strikes targeted Gaza. Civilian neighborhoods were struck. At least eight Palestinians were killed. Dozens were wounded.
At the same time, Israeli gunboats fired live ammunition at Palestinian fishing boats. Luckily those on board escaped injury. These type attacks happen often. Injuries result and occasional deaths.
Vessels are usually damaged and/or confiscated. Arrests often follow. Imagine being charged with the crime of fishing in their own waters. Imagine the worst of anything in Occupied Palestine.
No one is safe anywhere, any time. Going to school, pray, or shop is hazardous. So is going to sleep. Middle-of-the-night raids target peaceful civilians. No one knows who's next or when.
On October 17, Radio Bethlehem 2000 said Israeli soldiers invaded Bethlehem pre-dawn. Arrests followed. Other Palestinians were targeted in Ramallah, Nablus, East Jerusalem, and Jericho.
Homes are lawlessly broken into while people sleep. Children are terrified. Some are arrested. Others watch their fathers dragged from bed and beaten.
Democracies don't operate this way. Despotic states do routinely. Palestinian communities are violated multiple times daily. Palestinians have no rights. Gaza remains suffocating under siege. Children are treated like adults.
State terror is policy. Equity and justice are four-letter words. Freedom isn't in Israel's vocabulary. Institutionalized repression most people can't imagine explains what Palestinians endure daily.
Gazans fear more war for good reason. Full-scale invasion threats are heard. In September, IDF chief Benny Gantz said Israel "is ready to wage a war on several fronts, including Gaza where homemade projectiles are fired on Israeli" territory.
"It is not just military among us who know what to do in war. We must not put the sword in its sheath. Let's see what is next. Less than 20 km separate us from those who want to hurt Israel."
Gazans fire homemade rockets in response to Israeli provocations. Usually multiple ones occur before Palestinians act. They do so in self-defense. It's their right. International law affirms it. Israel calls it terrorism.
There's more. Netanyahu warned it's ready to interdict the latest Gaza-bound humanitarian vessel. It's Swedish owned, operating under the Finnish flag.
On October 6, it sailed from Naples. It's called Estelle. A banner displayed says "Ship to Gaza."
Finland's Foreign Ministry spokesman Risto Piiponen said Israel warned it would "take action to stop the ship from reaching land if it tries to break the blockade."
"We pointed out that it is a civilian vessel and urged them to practice restraint in any action they take," Piipopen added. Sixteen activists are on board.
Israel attacks humanitarian missions ruthlessly. On May 31, 2010, Israeli commandos murdered nine Turkish nationals in cold blood. Dozens of others on board the Mavi Marmara were accosted, beaten and arrested.
On October 11, Estelle's logbook headlined "Sailing to Gaza on the waves of freedom," saying:
"We are on board the Estelle. This sailboat is 90 years old and its presence is felt in this immense ocean as it breaks the waves on its way to Gaza. A little more than a week is left until we reach the coast of Palestine and we know that when we arrive we will not be alone."
"Thousands of people are following the route of freedom from land. They are passengers on land and they are just as important as the crew and those of us who are on board the Estelle."
"This sailboat of the Freedom Flotilla is full of solidarity that we breathe and hopefully the people on land also can feel this. Only together can we obtain a better future for all of us. For me, to break the siege on Gaza is one of the best ways to construct a better world."
Israel calls their mission and others like it a national security threat. Isn't that what all despotic regimes claim? Israel gets away with it because world leaders don't object. It's long past high time accountability was enforced.

PARIS-- General Electric Co. is willing to partner with France's government in a possible alliance, Chief Executive Jeffrey Immelt told French lawmakers on Tuesday as he tried to win their support for the company's $17 billion bid for Alstom SA's power-equipment business.
"We will remain open to an investment by the French government in a business alliance," Immelt told the National Assembly's economics committee. Immelt didn't offer any details of the possible alliance.
The French government has demanded that GE GE, -1.39% improve its offer to buy Alstom's ALO, +0.60% power equipment business by providing guarantees that the acquisition won't drain France of sensitive technology and jobs. It has also recruited Siemens SIE, -0.42% to submit a counterbid.
Immelt said GE was ready to make a commitment to boost jobs in France, offering to base four of GE's businesses in the country.
An expanded version of this report appears at WSJ.com.

It seems like a lot of effort and expense to charge your big power hungry laptop, so why not just get rid of it? Who needs a big power hungry laptop on tour anyway? My netbook has a 10 hour battery which used judiciously lasts many days between charges, and probably cost less than all your charging equipment.

Yes, it's still being updated.
OS/2 eComStation 2.1 has been released by Serenity Systems International and Mensys BV. The market for eComStation may not be particularly huge, but it still has its niches here and there. Since there might be folks here that aren't in the know: eComStation is the commercial continuation of IBM's OS/2, developed to support modern hardware.

RE[3]: Seriously, It's Time to Let it Go
by daedalus on Wed 25th May 2011 07:31 UTC in reply to "RE[2]: Seriously, It's Time to Let it Go"
Of course there are other options. I'm just pointing out that the other options don't have nearly as good support for hardware and software than Windows, so by your argument, why would be bother with anything else? Why go with the hassle of limited supported hardware on a Mac? Why bother with rough Flash implementations and *almost* compatible office suites on Linux? Why jump through hoops recompiling kernels and putting wrappers around Windows drivers just to try and get your built-in wireless NIC to work? Obviously someone, somewhere wants OS/2, otherwise it would've died off a long time ago. Just because it's not for you doesn't mean it's dead.

We supplied our Pancake and Waffle Mix to Community Natural Foods in Calgary for there annual Calgary Stampede Pancake Breakfast. It's always well attended but this year the numbers were -huge-.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for all of your support for our Stampede breakfast. The Kinnikinnick pancakes were a huge hit with not only the G.F. customers but as well others that just wanted to try it.And speaking of our Pancake Mix, I received this via Twitter from GFinSC
We went through it all except and had just enough for the last pancake stragglers at the end. All in all it was a huge hit. I heard comments from many in line that they never have tasted it before.....boy were they good......
We estimated 2100 people at the breakfast and we still had to turn away another hundred or so at the end.
best pancake mix by far! Been doing this for 8 years and haven't found other brand that comes close!! Thank you!Our new Personal Pizza Crusts have been out for about 6 months now and we've been getting great feedback, even from non-GF people like Margaret & Steve from Texas
My fiance and I made ... pizza using your 7" pizza crusts and fell in love. We're originally from New York and understand what a great pizza and pizza crust taste like. Steve and I were never able to find a healthy pizza crust product that we liked. Today we visited Kroger's grocery store and browsed through the healthy aisle to find a healthy pizza crust. We found your product and it was the only package left.They're also helping Diane stick to her GF Diet (that's -really- important):
Your 7" pizza crust was chewy in the middle and crispy on the outside. These were the most delicious pizzas we have ever tasted in our life.....thanks to your product. And thanks to your product I have convinced my fiance to make healthy pizza, at home, using your product when he has a pizza craving. Your product will definitely help us live a better and healthier lifestyle. I can't wait to try some of your other products.
I have just tried you 7 inch pizza crusts. They are absolutely delicious! Usually when my husband has pizza I cheat on my gluten free diet and have a piece of "real pizza" and then pay the price. Last night I made my own pizza with your pizza crust and I can honestly say I will no longer cheat. Your crusts are fantastic. THANK YOU!Our KinniTOOS are the #1 selling GF cream cookie in North America and it's because of people like Erin.
I felt compelled to write to tell you how amazing your KinniToos chocolate creme sandwiches cookies are! So outstanding I had to blog about them(the blog post is a nice read... "The first bite brought tears to my eyes." makes us remember why we do this.)
BlogLink And have been sharing them with everyone.
Bravo to your company for making such a wonderful Gluten-Free cookie - and for giving me back a taste of my childhood.
This is a 2 product comment from Sara via our website
I just wanted to thank you for making the BEST gluten free products anywhere... I don't know how you do it, but the quality and taste of every Kinnikinnick product I've ever had far surpasses any other gluten free brand out there. I just had your [S'moreables ]graham crackers for the first time since going gluten free three years ago, and I swear they are even better than I remember real graham crackers tasting! And your K-TOO cookies -- I never thought I'd be able to have anything remotely resembling an Oreo again in my life, but your cookies are pretty close! So I'd just like to say a big THANK YOU, and keep up the good work.Our donuts have always been popular, but since we reformulated them last year, we've seen a big increase in comments like this short but sweet comment from Karen via our webpage
The donuts are AWESOME!!!!!!!!and from imightbeodd via Twitter
Kinnikinnick hit it out of the ballpark with their gluten-free donuts!! MmmMmFrom GF_Steph on Twitter
Review of Kinnikinnick's Gluten Free Chocolate Dipped Donuts: BlogLink Slowly finding acceptable subs for EVERYTHING! :)and from GF_Steph a day later
Trying to talk myself out of eating a 2nd Kinnikinnick GF Chocolate Dipped donut...It's not working.(sorry Steph ;)
Feedback from our latest change, the new Hot Dog & Hamburger buns is also starting to show up like this one from Alan in CT.
Just wanted to say that your new and improved hot dog rolls are awesome! Not too bulky, great consistency and fantastic taste! I can finally enjoy hot dogs again. I'm heading back to the store to stock up on them.Kelly L posted this comment on our blog article Major Store Announcement & Store Finder Upgrade
We even found a review on Flickr from thePlaidMushroom
Twice Kinnikinnick suprised me this week! First found the new hot dog buns at our not so local health food store - and kids loved them...just days before Independance Day BBQ! Then I find our local (less than 1 mile!) TARGET is one of 2 "test-market" stores stocking Kinnikinnick as well as toehr GF products. Banner week!
First time eating a gluten free basic bread that I really enjoyed. see all the air-pockets? it's like real bread!with some pictures FlickrLink
I am Kinnikinnick's biggest fan. in the world. I LOVE KINNIKINNICK's PRODUCTS!!! ALL OF THEM!!!
It's great when we get a letter from a newly diagnosed celiac like Seaneen
I was diagnosed with "silent" Celiac Disease less than 2 weeks ago and to say that the diagnosis came out of left field would be a big understatement.Our waffles get great reviews too like this one from Asia (a person not the place):
I have been incredibly lucky, however, to have discovered your products almost immediately (the Sunflower Flax Seed bread was the second one I tried, after a horrible first experience with another company's product) and I have been on the hunt for more ever since. I have been fighting frustration and disappointment as I move through life and realize many of my favorite foods are now off limits.
Thank you for your amazing products. I have only just started to explore your website and just finished reading your story and the Kinniki-What?? portion. The analogy of your company being like the bearberry plant really touched me, and just makes me love your company more.
Thank you!!!
About a year and a half ago I discovered your Original Homestyle Waffles and fell in love with them. They were the first gluten free waffle I actually enjoyed and I found them to be just as tasty as a certain name brand wheat waffle.From Sherry via our website
Me and my kids LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your homestyle frozen waffles, muffins, donuts, chocolate cake mix and pancake and waffle mix. Please don't ever discontinue these items. I would also love to see your frozen homestyle waffles in the regular grocery stores.We'd love to see them in more stores to and we'll be doing a big promotion on our waffles in October so look for more info on Twitter or here on the blog in coming months.
I also got some great replies to my post on The Importance Of A Dedicated Gluten Free Facility
You can see the comments BlogLink
That's just a quick selection of what we've been seeing from email, our website feedback, twitter and from the blog. We actually still get hand written notes too. We read all these to our staff at our monthly staff birthday parties and it really helps keep them motivated to bring you the best products possible.
Couple of additional things to round out the post today.
I've just added a Filter By Allergen feature to our website. Look for the "Free Of Search" button on our Browse/Buy Product pages. Click what ingredients you want to avoid and the category will show you what's available.
If you're in the Edmonton area this weekend, come an join us for a Fund Raiser for Edmonton Celiac Association & CyclingForCeliacs. It's a Pancake Breakfast tomorrow (Sat.July 18) between 9-11am at Kinnikinnick Foods

19-year-old Harlem, NY-based rapper Azealia Banks is not known for her subtlety or nuance. No, the spunky female MC has made a name for herself with tracks like "212," a song which is as lyrically dense as it is lyrically explicit. Banks has also been fairly outspoken over her Twitter account, like many other rappers. But Banks took it to another level this past Friday. After it was revealed that Banks had ended her professional relationship with manager Troy Carter – with whom she had signed just two months prior – the rapper went on the offensive over Twitter.
"Guess what?: I'm still not going to let you manage me again. I've dealt with enough cyber bullying to see right thru this."
"I will definitely be working BY MYSELF and saving MY 20% On management commissions while I avoid you sharks in the water…."
Banks went on to say that she would only work with a female manager or "a really gay man" in the future. Shortly after her tweet tirade, Banks deleted her account.
Banks later took to her Tumblr, posting that she was "NO LONGER WISHING TO BE A RAPPER." This statement was later amended in a follow up post, with Banks saying that she would continue to rap, only that she did not "want the label and all the other crap that comes with the 'rap game'." Banks also stated that she would be communicating with her fans exclusively through her Tumblr going forward.
Carter, who notably manages Lady Gaga, had released a statement on the 7th, stating that he and Banks had ended their professional relationship "on very amicable terms."

deliveries under Seller's S Rate Schedule. Affected
Customers are customers receiving Affected Service.
The Volume Available for Affected Services for any
Curtailment Period (consisting of a day, a series of
consecutive days, a month, or a period of consecutive
months) is the total volume of gas which Seller
determines it will be able to deliver for Affected
Services during the Curtailment Period.
(b) Method of Curtailment: Seller shall periodically
determine the Volume Available for Affected Services
for appropriate Curtailment Periods. If such volume
is less than the estimated requirements of Affected
Services for the period involved, Seller shall
determine the Curtailment Period Quantity
Entitlement (CPQE) which each Affected Customer shall
be entitled to receive for Affected Services during
that Curtailment Period. Seller shall promptly
notify each Affected Customer of its Curtailment
Period Quantity Entitlement and the Curtailment
Period during which it will apply, as far in advance
and for as long a period of time as is possible and
reasonable. Seller may change announced CPQE if
conditions so require.
The CPQE for each Affected Customer for each Affected
Service shall be determined by allocating volumes to
each such customer based on the customer's
requirements for each partial and/or full month
involved in the priority of service categories set
forth in Section 22.2(c) of this Section 22.2. Such
allocation shall be accomplished by assigning to each
customer its requirements in each successive
category beginning first with the highest (category
0) and continuing successively to each lower
category, until the total volumes allocated to all
Affected Customers equal the Volume Available for
Affected Services. If such Volume Available for
Affected Services is reached by assigning only a
portion of the requirements of all Affected Customers

News Release
Alzheimer's Disease International To Hold 24th International Conference In Singapore
13 March 2009
Conference Theme Is "Dementia: Engaging Societies Around the World"
Leaders Will Discuss the Current and Future Impact of Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia - From Personal to Global
The 24th Conference of Alzheimer's Disease International will be held March 25-28, 2009, at the Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre, Suntec City, Singapore. "Dementia: Engaging Societies Around the World" is jointly organized by London-based Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI) and Alzheimer's Disease Association, Singapore (ADA).
ADI's annual conference is the only one in the world that brings together scientists, clinicians, care professionals, family caregivers, volunteers and people with dementia. This multidisciplinary event will provide a unique opportunity to examine achievements and priorities in Alzheimer's research, discuss and share innovative techniques in the management and care of people with dementia, identify policy issues affecting people with dementia, and engage in training workshops for Alzheimer's associations.
Conference information, including program, registration, travel and accommodations, can be found at http://www.adi2009.org/
"We have a great opportunity to engage all societies around the world and truly make Alzheimer's and dementia a global health and social priority," said Dr. Daisy Acosta, Chairman, Alzheimer's Disease International. "We must ensure that scientific discovery and advances in information about dementia translate into tangible benefits for all people with dementia and their families."
Key plenary presentations include:
- Global Impact of Dementia, Martin Prince (United Kingdom)
- Economic Impact of Dementia, Anders Wimo (Sweden)
- Emerging Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease, Bengt Winblad (Sweden)
- Can Your Lifestyle Prevent Alzheimer's Disease?, Henry Brodaty (Australia)
Other plenary presentations will cover the experiences of the caregivers, the social impact of dementia, quality of life in dementia, technology in caring for people with dementia, the arts in dementia, ethics in dementia care, and quality end-of-life care.
Guest-of-Honour at the conference is Mr. Lim Boon Heng, Minister, Prime Minister's Office and Minister-in-charge of ageing issues. The Minister will participate in the conference's Opening Ceremony on Wednesday evening, March 25.
ADI, together with the Fondation Mederic Alzheimer (Paris) will present an Award for Psychosocial Research on Friday evening, March 27 during the conference's Gala dinner. It will be the first global award of this kind. The Fondation is a French non-profit organization dedicated to the enhancement of quality of life for people with Alzheimer's and their carers.
"It is our goal to make this an event that inspires and engages people to make a difference in the lives of those affected by Alzheimer's and dementia now and for future generations," said Dr. Ang Peng Chye, President, Alzheimer's Disease Association, Singapore and chair of the conference's Local Organizing Committee. "For example, this is an opportunity for attendees to create partnerships with many like-minded groups and individuals."
In conjunction with the ADI Conference, a Dementia Awareness Week is being held in Singapore from 22-28 March. The events include a Mass Exercise Workout and Memory Walk, Films About Dementia, and a Play on Dementia.
According to ADI, there is one new case of dementia every seven seconds, and worldwide costs for dementia care are US$ 315 billion annually. This number will rise dramatically; the number of people with dementia is projected to escalate from 30 million to 100 million by 2050.
Alzheimer's Disease International -- Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI) is the international federation of 77 Alzheimer associations. It was founded in 1984 as a network for Alzheimer associations around the world to share and exchange information, resources and skills. ADI is based in London and is registered as a non-profit organisation in the USA. ADI has been in official relations with the World Health Organization since 1996. Each member is the national Alzheimer association in their country who support people with dementia and their families. ADI's mission is to improve the quality of life of people with dementia and their families throughout the world.
Alzheimer's Disease Association, Singapore -- The Alzheimer's Disease Association (ADA) was formed in 1990 as a result of growing concern for the needs of people with dementia and their families. ADA is a voluntary welfare organization and is made up of caregivers, professionals and all who are interested in dementia. In addition to groundbreaking local initiatives in dementia day care and caregiver support, ADA's other initiatives include the Early Dementia Program, training in Person Centered Care and Dementia Care Mapping, public education, advocacy and research support.

Police searching for missing British backpacker Gareth Huntley in the Malaysian jungle have found a body, the Foreign Office said.
The 34-year-old has not been seen since he started a trek to a waterfall in Tioman Island, off the south-eastern coast of the country's mainland, last Tuesday morning.

The body, which has not been confirmed as the missing Briton, was found today in a pond a few yards from a kayak storage unit near the Juara Turtle Project where Mr Huntley had been working, according to local reports.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "Malaysian police have confirmed that a body has been found on Tioman island in Malaysia.
"Foreign Office consular staff on the ground are continuing to work closely with the Malaysian authorities and are investigating with them as a matter of urgency.
"We continue to provide support to the family of Gareth Huntley at this very difficult time."
A search party consisting of commandos, police and firefighters stumbled across the body when they were returning to the base camp at around 12pm local time, Malaysian newspaper The Star reported.
The body was found in a pond some 20 yards from a kayak storage unit within the compound of the conservation camp where Mr Huntley volunteered, the newspaper said.
It was behind a row of cabins which were occupied by rescue teams over the last three days, the paper reported.
Mr Huntley, of Hackney in east London, who is originally from the Leeds-Bradford border, was on a sabbatical from his job in the City.
His mother, Janet Southwell, arrived in Malaysia on Monday after Prime Minister David Cameron spoke to Malaysia's prime minister Najib Razak about the search effort.
In Malaysia the international pressure from Mr Huntley's family and friends, who had feared there was a lack of action in spite of the public response, turned into efforts on the ground.

flaked wheat IS unmalted.However flaked is pre-gelatinizated so you don't have to worry about that aspect. whole unmalted wheat berries have a gelatinization temp around the mid to high 150s if I recall. but that is best case scenario with a grind close to flour.so with the flaked wheat the starch will be readily available to the enzymes for conversion where the un-flaked wheat the starch has to gelatinize first. which is may or may not do completely.
I would hazard a guess that whole wheat berries will taste a lot fresher than flaked ones as well.
In my opinion: flaked wheat is not a passable substitute for unmalted wheat.Maybe its an issue with freshness in flaked wheat, or something that the process of gelatinizing raw wheat at home contributes, but I have always found beers made with raw wheat to be far superior.A cereal mash is not terribly complicated. I think its easier than a single decoction.Torrefied ('puffed') wheat is another option. Never tried it in a witbier, but I like it as a substitute for flaked wheat in smaller quantities (small amount for head retention, body, etc.). It has a subtle, fresh popcorn flavor.
Here's my super rad trick for using wheat berries, no cereal mash or rice hulls necessary:http://nateobrew.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-better-way-to-brew-with-raw-wheat.html
BTW, are you the one giving the wild house strain lecture at the conference? If so, I'm looking forward to it.
Isnt this the same idea behind "wet milling"?

Other than extremely pedestrian delivery, I found the Starbike service fine during my

I was impressed with their communication especially as English is unlikely to be

I'd happily deal with them again.

In city settings, mansions are less-expected dwellings, especially in densely populated downtown areas where many people live crammed on top of one another. There, the thought of a 10,000-plus-square-foot building housing just one family is excessive. Some people prefer excess and have the fortune to back it up, and those families have left a legacy of impressively ornamented historic homes.
The ones intact today are like time capsules back to a bygone era of magnificent opulence. We've collected a lineup of them here, arranged in ascending order to the largest, with photos provided by Realtor.com, including no less than three mansions built on beer fortunes.
The profiles and footprints of urban palaces are a bit different from those of your average American mansions. In cities, mansions are often several stories taller, and they aren't surrounded by sprawling estates. But don't cry for these acreage-challenged city dwellers — the owners of urban mansions probably have country homes, too.

Last week leading up to Sunday, I thought I had a pretty good story.
After having seen the end of the Alabama-Auburn football game, which was decided by a 108-yard return of a failed field goal by Alabama, I realized I had seen that same situation before.
You remember � the 108-yard return of a failed field goal by an Elon player in 1960 to defeat Catawba. That run by George Wooten was a highlight in Elon sports history.
I told some people about it, some people who had not realized or remembered that had happened. And pretty soon, it was in newspapers, on TV and everywhere � before my Sunday column.
One day this week I learned there was a second chapter to that Wooten story, and I have not told anyone about it this time.
A quick review: On Oct. 22, 1960, Elon played Catawba in its homecoming football game. Catawba was ahead 12-7 with 20 seconds left. For some reason they tried a field goal on the last play of the game. It went wide, and George Wooten took it eight yards deep in his end zone and ran it 108 yards for a touchdown. Elon won 13-12.
The play captured national attention, with the Associated Press making it the Football Oddity for the 1960 season.
Now the second chapter.
Flash ahead a year to 1961. It is Elon�s homecoming game again, and this time Western Carolina is the opponent.
The score is 9-8 (sounds like baseball) in favor of the visiting team in the game played at Burlington�s Memorial Stadium.
There are two seconds left in the game. Elon is in field goal range, so they line up, and the kick goes straight and long. It is good! Elon wins 11-9. And the kicker? George Wooten.
While I was at the 1960 game on assignment with a camera, I was not at the 1961 game. But Coach Jerry Tolley passed along the story of Wooten�s second last-second game winner. The coach reminded me that Wooten was the Elon quarterback, not a running back as I had said last week. But he sure was running on that 108-yard return.
Coach Tolley knows a bit about football. He began coaching at Elon in 1967 as an assistant to Coach Shirley (Red) Wilson, and that was a high period in Elon football history, as there was a winning percentage of well over 60 percent, with a trip to the national championship finals.
When Coach Wilson moved on in 1977, Jerry Tolley became head coach.
He only coached five years, but his record was 48-11-2. That is an 80.6 percent winning average. A sportswriter said of Tolley�s career it was �one of the most spectacular stretches� in North Carolina college football coaching.
In 1980 and in 1981, Tolley directed his teams to the NAIA national championships, putting Elon athletics on a level never before achieved. And then he retired at the age of 39. Five years was enough.
He is in the Elon Sports Hall of Fame of course, and the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, The NAIA Hall, the East Carolina Hall and some others as well. And in addition to all that, he has written six very successful books on the art of coaching football.
He worked in various positions after leaving coaching, including a time with Elon�s office of development.
And then he found a new career. Politics. He currently serves as mayor of Elon, an office he won again this year with no opposition.
Now head coach emeritus at Elon, he holds close links with current players, and he serves as a mentor to the coaches, doing what he can to help the tradition of Elon football.
I appreciated his e-mail this week, telling me of the second chapter of the George Wooten story. It added an exciting footnote to the story of that 1960 touchdown run.
And oh yes. There is one last element of this 1961 story that I failed to mention � the story of Wooten�s winning field goal.
It just happens that the game-winning field goal was the first that Wooten had ever attempted in a college game.

As a foreign correspondent based in South Africa, author John Carlin had unique access to Mandela during the post-apartheid years when Mandela faced his most daunting obstacles and achieved his greatest triumphs. Carlin witnessed history as Mandela was released from prison after twenty-seven years and ultimately ascended to the presidency of his strife-torn country.
Drawing on exclusive conversations with Mandela and countless interviews with people who were close to him, Carlin has crafted an account of a man who was neither saint nor superman. Mandela's seismic political victories were won at the cost of much personal unhappiness and disappointment.
Knowing Mandela offers an intimate understanding of one of the most towering and remarkable figures of our age.

"Microsoft will finish work on Windows 8 this summer, setting the stage for personal computers and tablets with the operating system to go on sale around October, according to people with knowledge of the schedule." Judging by the community preview, they've got a lot of work yet to do, like, you know, actually making it usable on non-touch devices. What I'm tying to say - pretty aggressive release schedule.

Original sin, in Christian doctrine, the condition or state of sin into which each human being is born; also, the origin (i.e., the cause, or source) of this state. Traditionally, the origin has been ascribed to the sin of the first man, Adam, who disobeyed God in eating the forbidden fruit (of knowledge of good and evil) and, in consequence, transmitted his sin and guilt by heredity to his descendants.
The doctrine has its basis in the Bible. Although the human condition (suffering, death, and a universal tendency toward sin) is accounted for by the story of the Fall of Adam in the early chapters of the book of Genesis, the Hebrew Scriptures say nothing about the transmission of hereditary sin to the entire human race. In the Gospels also there are no more than allusions to the notion of the Fall of Man and universal sin. The main scriptural affirmation of the doctrine is found in the writings of St. Paul and particularly in Romans 5:12–19, a difficult passage in which Paul establishes a parallelism between Adam and Christ, stating that whereas sin and death entered the world through Adam, grace and eternal life have come in greater abundance through Christ.
The doctrine is the prerequisite for the Christian understanding of the meaning of Jesus' crucifixion and atonement. Despite its importance for understanding Jesus' sacrifice, the doctrine of original sin has been minimized since the European Enlightenment.

"The US Patents and Trademark Office has today made public a Microsoft patent application (serial no. 240,729) related to the graphical user interface found on the hotly anticipated Windows Phone 7 Series mobile OS. Filed in September 2008, this application describes a 'contiguous background' that extends beyond the dimensions of the screen (either vertically or horizontally, but not both) with anchored 'mixed-media' elements being littered atop it - all of which is to be served on a 'media-playing device'. That should sound pretty familiar, given that it's the central navigational concept of both Windows Phone 7 and the Zune HD, and as such it makes a lot of sense for Microsoft to seek to legally protect its uniqueness."

Taylor Swift saving her fortune for kids' college fund
The country singer was recently named the highest paid celebrity under 30 with estimated earnings of £35.63 million in the period between May 2011 and May 2012, thanks to her hit album Speak Now, a string of sold-out tour dates and an endorsement deal with CoverGirl cosmetics.
Swift, 22, has now revealed she was stunned to find out about her massive income and has vowed to put it away to ensure financial security for her offspring.
She tells Marie Claire magazine, "I called my dad and said, 'How did that happen?' I just wake up every day and go about my life and do what's on the schedule. I don't think in terms of how much money it's making...
"That money will be really good for sending my kids to college some day - or maybe I'll have a few more kids than I thought."
Swift insists she is not ready to start a family just yet, but she definitely sees herself as a parent one day.
She adds, "I want to wait a while, but the idea of pouring everything you are into another person when you become a parent has always been amazing to me."

Even without an official team, Eldon students learn from the best at the robotics championships
With wide eyes and a rush of excitement, a group of elementary and middle school students from Eldon experienced the FIRST LASER Robotics World Championships for the first time.
Teams from all over the world gathered in St. Louis last week to compete for the championship title.
As a school district who is planning on implementing FIRST Robotics next year, Eldon wanted to familiarize students to FIRST.
Students visited with teams and were able to get perspectives from different cultures.
"From the Sweden group, I learned that it's better to have a smaller robot because it maneuvers faster. It can accomplish things easier," sixth grader Mariah Wardenburg said. "I was feeling a rush of excitement because I love engineering type of things. I think its incredible that people can build those robots who are still in middle and high school."
Teams welcomed visitors to booths where they showcased their projects and what made their team unique.
"It was really exciting. I really liked meeting all people." fifth grader Bailey Robinette said of meeting the teams from different countries.
The students from Eldon had the chance to meet up with students from Camdenton and watch Camdenton high school's team LASER 3284 compete.
Camdenton teams have mentored Eldon earlier this year and introduced the students to FIRST.
One of the main facets of FIRST is teaching good sportsmanship and the organization's core values. After only experiencing FIRST for a few hours, the students immediately noticed the refreshing atmosphere.
"You have to be very polite. There's no better team," sixth grader Hailee Vernon said.
Eldon is planning on creating teams next school year.

The winner of two Heineken Cups, three Triple Crowns and a Grand Slam, PETER STRINGER has had a stellar provincial and international career and his ultra competitive nature has him wanting more.
Having lost his grip on the Munster and Ireland number 9 jerseys, Stringer battled back (starting against Australia last June and Scotland in March) and shown that he still has a lot to offer.
His accurate passing and almost telepathic understanding with half-back partner Ronan O'Gara has helped him be an indispensable member of Irish squads stretching back to 2000.
He is Ireland's most-capped scrum half and played his part in Ireland's Grand Slam success, featuring in four games including a man-of-the-match display against Scotland. Will likely be most remembered for scoring 'that' try against Biarritz in the 2006 Heineken Cup final.

Better Ads. Better Internet.
Flite is the premium programmatic creative platform for brands and publishers.
The advancements in web and mobile app development are significant, but today's ads haven't kept up with the pace of innovation. Most ad technology focuses on targeting consumers and largely ignores the creative itself—resulting in poorly performing campaigns and a less-than-satisfactory user experience.
Consumers have come to expect rich and relevant content that's delivered to them in real time. The problem is that most ads are disruptive, unhelpful, and ultimately displeasing to consumers.

Twin Six Cocktail
1 Dash Grenadine. (2.5ml or 1/2 tsp Small Hand Foods Grenadine)
4 Dashes Orange Juice. (10ml or 2 tsp Orange Juice)
The White of 1 Egg. (1/2 oz Egg White)
1/4 Italian Vermouth. (1/2 oz Carpano Antica)
3/4 Dry Gin. (1 1/2 oz Ransom Old Tom Gin)
Shake well and strain into medium size glass.
I can think of no reason, other than sheer perversity, and a burning question about how the Ransom Old Tom would work in an egg white drink, that I decided to mix up the Twin Six with that gin. There is no way this recipe, originally from Hugo Ensslin's 1917 book, "Recipes for Mixed Drinks" could possibly be interpreted to include Old Tom.
The name, it appears, referred to a 12 Cylinder engine which the American Auto manufacturer Packard introduced in 1916.
From an article on Driving Today, Packard Twin Six:
The American public went wild over the Twin Six, which they saw as further proof that the United States was the best car-building nation on Earth. When the car was first put on display, some dealers had to call in the police to handle the curious throngs wanting to see the wondrous V-12 engine.
If the Twin Six Engine was noted for it's, "smooth acceleration in high gear and sufficient power to propel some of the models to 70 mph," the Twin Six Cocktail could be considered similar in many ways. A relatively strong cocktail, for a sour, it is mostly just the egg white and touch of Italian Vermouth which are smoothing over the power of the gin. I would definitely call this a "deceptively drinkable" cocktail.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

Parenting education programs seek to achieve the following:
Focus on Children is the court-authorized in-class parenting education program. The program is offered through Cook County's Marriage and Family Counseling Service (MFCS). The program is offered in both English and Spanish. Focus on Children offers classes focusing on pre-decree, post-decree and parentage issues.
You do not need a court order to attend Focus on Children. Please be advised that if you have been ordered to attend a mediation or an emergency intervention, the court will require that you complete this in-person program even if you have already completed Children in Between Online. You must complete the Focus on Children program before you can attend mediation.
After you complete Focus on Children, you will receive a "Certificate of Completion," which is your proof for the court that you completed the program.
Please note: nothing precludes the court from ordering either party to attend additional authorized parenting education courses.
The program offers three different classes.
1. The Pre-Decree class is for those parties who are in the process of a marital or civil union dissolution.
2. The Post-Decree class is for those parties whose marriage or civil union has been dissolved, but issues have arisen since the dissolution and they are now back in the court system.
3. The Parentage class is for unmarried parties who have children together.
Focus on Children is offered at the following locations in Cook County:
Cook County Administration Building
69 W. Washington, 10th Floor
Chicago, Illinois 60602
Suburban Municipal District Courthouses
The Center for Divorce Education's Children in Between Online is the only court-authorized online parenting education program. This online program is offered in both English and Spanish. You do not need a court order to take CIBO, and you can take it up to sixty days before you file your case. Please note that if you are ordered to attend mediation or emergency intervention, you will be required to complete the Focus on Children in-class parenting education program regardless whether you have completed this online course.
After you complete Children in Between Online, you will receive a "Certificate of Completion," which is your proof for the court that you completed the program.
To learn more about the CDE's Children In Between Online course go to
Please note: nothing precludes the court from ordering either party to attend additional authorized parenting education courses.
The cost of the program is $50.00. Each parent is responsible for paying his or her own fee for the program, unless the fee is waived pursuant to a court order.
If you have a fee waiver, then follow the next steps to register for the program:
(1) Fill out the Fee Waiver Application Form from the Center for Divorce Education. Found here.
(2) Fax or e-mail a copy of your fee waiver form and court document(s) to:
Fax: (740) 594-2521
E-mail: email@example.com
(3) You will receive an e-mail confirmation of your registration along with your Username and Password. Please allow 2-3 business days for processing of fee waiver requests.
If you do not receive this email, please check your junk/spam folders. If the email is not found, call the Children in Between Online support number 1-877-874-1365.
When you complete the Children in Between Online course, you will be issued a certificate of completion. (Please be sure to print one (1) copy for your records.)
You will need to ensure a second copy of the certificate is provided to the court.
There are two options to do this that depend on whether you have a case number. Please see below for the option that best describes your situation.
Option 1: You have a Case Number
a. Make sure your case number appears on the certificate. If it does not, type it in.
b. Email to the Court. At the "Results Page," click on "e-mail copies of the certificate" and type in the e-mail address to the Cook County Court:
email@example.com (and your case number, if needed).
A copy of your certificate will be sent directly to the court.
You can also e-mail a copy to yourself or attorney (if represented).
Option 2: You DO NOT have a Case Number
a. Print one (1) extra copy (you will now have 2).
b. Once a case is filed, write your case number on your certificate and either mail or hand deliver one (1) copy of the certificate of completion to:

Sometimes The New York Times can be such a tease. Why, you ask? Well, take this article that Julia Moskin wrote in August about the glories of the humble mussel.
I certainly need no prompting to sing the praises of a mussel. So tender, so sweet, so weirdly shaped and colored, so amenable to a myriad of flavors (white wine! shallots! tender tomatoes! basil! lemongrass! coconut milk! red curry! green curry!), so cheap, so plentiful. I mean, who has a problem with mussels (well, besides the Jews and the shellfish allergic)?
Not me.
So when Julia wrote, in her article, about the way that Sam Hayward of Fore Street in Portland prepared his wood-roasted mussels and described this method as a "single-dish public relations campaign for the long-neglected mussel", furthermore noting that the dish was so good that "that diners have been known to order [it] two or three times in one sitting", I rubbed my greedy hands together and let my eyes jump to the recipe box. I couldn't wait to try it!
But, dear readers, it was not to be. Because Ms. Moskin hadn't printed Fore Street's mussel recipe. Oh no, instead she'd shared a recipe from 25-year old Hugo Bordin, a chef on Il de Re whose family has been fishing mussels (musseling mussels?) since before time began. Oh, sure, he's probably some expert and he's certainly got the lineage to prove it. But didn't Julia realize the pain she'd caused me?
All I wanted was to try the famous Fore Street mussels and short of getting myself to Portland (which, ahem, isn't exactly outside the realm of possibility, but never mind), it wasn't going to happen for me.
Dejectedly, I clipped the Il de Re'ian recipe and let it sit on my desk for a few months until, one Friday night, I found myself with a hankering for a quick shellfish dinner. I bought mussels, a bottle of Muscadet, a little tub of crème fraîche and put myself to work. Up until the mussels were steamed in their winy-oniony mussel-liquor bath, everything worked out just fine. But then I was instructed to remove the cooked mussels from the pan and reduce the liquid into a sauce. Which I started to do. And do. And do. Because have you ever tried reducing more than 2 cups of liquid into a sauce, quickly? Yeah. Didn't think so.
The recipe took a lot longer than the 20 minutes specified, but in its defense, the resulting soup was pretty good. Of course, the delicious soup didn't do much to warm up the mussels that had grown stone-cold waiting for their anointing liquid to reduce. So, I don't know. We ate our bowls of cold mussels and warmish soup and were happy enough, but something nagged at me. I didn't want Bordin's mussel recipe! I wanted Hayward's. The New York Times had whet my appetite and I resented being deterred from my one true goal.
But then.
I started typing up this post. Which meant I had to google Sam Hayward. Which brought me to a Food & Wine piece that Nancy Harmon Jenkins wrote on him. And, lo and behold, what did I find in that there piece?
You got it. The recipe.
It'd better be good!
Mussels in White Wine and Crème Fraîche
Yields 2 main course servings or 4 appetizer servings
4 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, minced
1 shallot, minced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
2 cups white wine
4 pounds mussels
3 tablespoons crème fraîche
Salt and pepper
1. In a wide skillet with a lid, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and shallot, and stir until very soft and beginning to turn gold, about 5 minutes; do not let them brown. Add thyme and bay leaf and stir. Add wine and 1 cup water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add mussels, cover, and cook until open, about 4 minutes.
2. Transfer mussels to serving bowls with a slotted spoon and boil liquid in the pan until reduced to a sauce. Turn off heat and whisk in crème fraîche and salt and pepper to taste. Pour over mussels and serve with crusty bread.

Super Bowl I
Although he was the star of the game, Green Bay's Bart Starr had his bad moments, too. Kansas City's E.J. Holub (55) and Buck Buchanan (86) gang up to throw Starr for a loss in the third quarter, but the Packers beat the Chiefs, 35-10, in the first Super Bowl at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Jan. 16, 1967. At the time, it was simply known as the NFL-AFL championship game.

text: The Shop Around the Corner is adapted from the Hungarian play by Nikolaus (Miklos) Laszlo. Budapest gift-shop clerk Alfred Kralik (James Stewart) and newly hired shopgirl Klara Novak (Margaret Sullavan) hate each other almost at first sight. Kralik would prefer the company of the woman with whom he is corresponding by mail but has never met. Novak likewise carries a torch for her male pen pal, whom she also has never laid eyes on. It doesn't take a PhD degree to figure out that Kralik and Novak have been writing letters to each other. The film's many subplots are carried by Frank Morgan as the kindhearted shopkeeper and by Joseph Schildkraut as a backstabbing employee whose comeuppance is sure to result in spontaneous applause from the audience. Directed with comic delicacy by Ernst Lubitsch, this was later remade in 1949 as In the Good Old Summertime, and in 1998 as You've Got Mail. It was also musicalized as the 1963 Broadway production She Loves Me.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Laser Smashball Experiment
It feels like it's been summer here since february or so… and when we were checking out at the supermarket, had a nostalgic moment when i spotted Smashball - that beachy wooden paddle ball game thats been around since the 70s with such an adorably iconic logo. It also seemed like a fun one to experiment with in the Laser Cutter! Remember the hexagon experiment from the laser challenge? Well we threw some of those patterns together and played with painting and etching it into the paddles and toying with some custom colored plastidip. Take a peek at more details of the experiment on the next page!

With the recent surge in WebKit adoption, many have stated to question the usefulness of Mozilla's Gecko browsing engine, claiming that WebKit is far superior. Some even go as far as saying that Firefox should ditch Gecko in favour of WebKit. Ars Technica's Ryan Paul explains why that is utter, utter bogus. "From a technical perspective, Gecko is now very solid and no longer lags behind WebKit. A testament to the rate at which Gecko has been improving is its newfound viability in the mobile space, where it was practically considered a nonstarter not too long ago. Mozilla clearly has the resources, developer expertise, and community support to take Gecko anywhere that WebKit can go."

Intellectual Ventures was founded by Nathan Myhrvold (former CTO of Microsoft) and Edward Jung back in 2000. In addition to a small number of things developed in its own laboratory, the company has reportedly hoarded over 30000 patents. It is important to note that the few things it did develop on its own have not been superficial - for instance, they've been awarded with the MIT Technology Review Top 10 Emerging Technologies in 2009 for a safer nuclear reactor design.
Both Samsung and HTC have signed a deal with Intellectual Ventures, giving both of them access to this massive patent pool. Obviously, Samsung and HTC also hand over their patent portfolios to Intellectual Ventures, allowing them to manage them. A pretty decent pool of patents to defend themselves with against patent aggressors like Apple and Oracle, I'd say.
"HTC is one of the fastest growing companies in the mobile phone industry, and it understands the value of actively protecting its invention rights," said Peter Detkin, founder and vice chairman at Intellectual Ventures, "Given HTC's innovativeness in developing some of the industry's first smartphones and its continued development of some of the world's most advanced products, HTC is forward-thinking with its IP practices and is working with IV to mitigate its IP risk."
While I understand HTC joining hands with Intellectual Ventures (HTC is relatively young), I'm not entirely sure why Samsung would need to sign such a deal. Samsung is huge, and supplies all sorts of chips and components to just about everyone in the business, so it would seem Samsung is pretty safe from patent lawsuits. Of course, it could be that Samsung and HTC are actively working together on this, and are simply using Intellectual Ventures as an intermediary.
Samsung has not yet been involved in any patent suits, but obviously, any suits against Android hurt Samsung's mobile phone business as well. While I loath the kind of patent hoarding Intellectual Ventures does, I can sympathise with both Samsung and HTC taking defensive action against patent aggressors like Microsoft, Apple, and Oracle.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The King University men's wrestling team hosted their annual King Open on Saturday, and turned in a solid performance before the Thanksgiving break. JA Jones headlined a trio of wrestlers that finished in the top-3 of their weight class with a second place finish at the 165 pound weight class.
Jones first defeated Alex Cox of Liberty University on a fall in 1:22 before topping Newberry College's Brandon Vovan on a fall in 1:36. In the semifinals he bested Newberry's Tyler Johnson on another fall, this one in 6:00. In the finals he faced Peter Santos of the University of North Carolina, falling 10-0 on a major decision to take second place.
At the 133 pound weight class, D'Marcus Spencer started his day with back-to-back wins on falls. He first topped East Tennessee State University's Ian McKinley in 1:41 before besting Christopher Rivera of Limestone College in 2:00. In the semifinals he faced a tough bout against Virginia Tech's Kevin Norstrem. The bout was all square at 1-1 at the end of regulation, but Norstrem scored two points in the extra session to take the 3-1 win. However, Spencer bounced back to take a pair of wins in the consolation bracket, the final one over Newberry's Brandon Thompson on a fall in 2:00.
At the same weight class, Collin Crume turned in a fifth place finish. After winning his first match of the day on a fall in 3:15 over Newberry's Gregory Altamirano, he dropped his next bout to fall to the consolation bracket. Crume won his first three matches in the consolation bracket, including an 18-5 major decision over VMI's Caleb Yost. After falling to teammate Spencer, Crume defeated Nicholas Lankford of Newberry on a 7-5 decision to take fifth place.
Garrett Fosdyck turned a good performance at 285 pounds with a third place finish. His day started with an 8-0 major decision over Appalachian State University's Kacee Hutchinson. Fosdyck followed that with a 3-1 decision over Brandon Taylor of Virginia Tech before falling in the semifinals to drop to the consolation bracket. The his first match in the consolation bracket, the semifinal bout went to double overtime where Fosdyck took a narrow 5-4 win over Glen Cothren of Belmont Abbey College. In the third place bout, he faced off with Taylor again and Fosdyck took a 3-0 win.
King will have a couple weeks off before they travel to Indianapolis, Ind., for the Midwest Duals on December 14-15.

Few days ago we've told you about the upcoming Huawei P6-U06, which should help the company re-gain the "world's thinnest smartphone maker" title. This time we have some "in the wild" photos to share, compliments to the French site NoWhereElse.
As you can see from the image above (and few other images below), this will be one sexy device that fits just about any pocket. It is said that the P6-U06 will have a 6.18mm-thin body, weighing only 120 grams. In addition, the phone will also pack a 4.7-inch 720p HD screen, 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 5-megapixel camera on the back and 32GB of internal storage.
We're not sure when the Chinese company will officially announce the P6-U06 but we're hoping we won't have to wait for too long. Moreover, we would like it to have a more memorable name like Ascend P6 cause that other part (U06) makes it super-hard to remember. Can't wait to try it out…

On the field: Bears made it clear they are working to overhaul an underachieving wide receiver corps completely. Jeffery has excellent hands and plays the ball well in the air. The team would be wise to leave him at one position and let him learn so he can contribute quickly. Needs to work on route running and blocking.
Upside: While he's not as physical as Brandon Marshall, the upside is a similarly productive playmaker in a big-time passing attack. He dominated at times in the SEC against top competition and has the ability to do that at the next level.
Downside: With a pro career ahead of him, Jeffery was not in shape last season when he played at 230 pounds. Some have questioned his work ethic.
Most resembles: Some have compared him to Mike Williams, the former first-round draft pick of the Lions. If the Bears get the Williams who has produced some for the Seahawks, it will work. They're hoping for much more here though.
