iDonutConnect is a game that despite its apparent simplicity is different from the rest by their high level of difficulty, which makes it very addictive when you discover how to reach the difficult levels.
The rules are simple: You have to group the same type of iDonuts in pairs or trios (as indicated by the level) to disappear. But only with horizontal or vertical lines (not Diagonal). The only way to win the level is to eliminate all iDonuts.
The game is designed to be enjoyed anytime and anywhere as there is no time limit and this is one of the few games that can be operated with one hand.
Moreover, much of the time not even need a finger, since before the beginning of each level you need to use just your eyes and intelligence to locate the iDonuts that can only be connected in one way and figuring out how the other can be combined.
The game consists of 740 levels grouped into 5 packs of increasing difficulty plus some added surprises.
You can see a ingame video in searching "idonutconnect" youtube:

Sun Drop and Cheerwine aren�t just for drinking anymore. These regional soda favorites are making names for themselves as the main ingredients in desserts, punches and foods.
The drinks have been quenching thirsts across the region and the country for decades now. Citrus-flavored Sun Drop made its debut in St. Louis, Mo., in 1951, while cherry-flavored Cheerwine�s origins go back to Salisbury, in 1917. And now, they�re gracing menus and recipes.
In our area, you can find Sun Drop-flavored wings at Freeman�s Pub, Cherry Lemon Sun Drop cupcakes at Jenn�s Sugarlicious Bakery, and a Cherry Lemon Sun Drop specialty drink at RO�s Bar-B-Cue and Tommy�s Drive In. And who can forget Krispy Kreme�s limited-offer Cheerwine-flavored doughnut that hit store shelves in July 2010 and July 2011. Let�s hope they make a return engagement.
Be adventurous and adapt your favorite recipes using these sodas. Try using Sun Drop for dishes that call for lemon-lime beverages, and substitute Cheerwine for ones that call for cola.
Here are a few recipes that feature Cheerwine or Sun Drop to help you show some regional love in the kitchen, including the classic Sun Drop Pound Cake and Cheerwine Cupcakes:
Sun Drop Pound Cake (From drinksundrop.com)
5 eggs
3 cups sugar
3 cups plain sifted flour
2 sticks butter or margarine
� cup shortening
1 tsp. vanilla flavoring
1 tsp. lemon flavoring
6 ounces regular Sun Drop
Cream butter or margarine and shortening, adding sugar gradually. Add eggs, one at a time, and continue beating well after each addition. Slowly blend in flavoring, flour one cup at a time and Sun Drop. Turn into a large greased and floured tube pan. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until cake tests done. Turn out on rack to cool.
Frosting Glaze
2 cups confectioner's (powdered) sugar
2 ounces regular Sun Drop
2 Tbs. butter or margarine
Prepare frosting glaze by melting butter or margarine and blend with confectioner's sugar and Sun Drop. Spoon glaze over warm cake, out of pan, on rack over waxed paper; spoon glaze that slides off cake back up over cake.
Bubbly Sun Drop Punch (From drinksundrop.com)
Serves 16
2 � quarts Sun Drop
2 cups pineapple juice
1 cup frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
1 cup water
1 pint lime sherbet
Mix chilled fruit juices and water in punch bowl. Just before serving, add slightly softened sherbet and stir briefly. Add chilled Sun Drop and serve.
Chocolate Cheerwine Cupcakes (From Lauren Estridge / WhiskingThroughLife.com)
Makes 18 cupcakes
1 � sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 Tbs. natural cocoa powder
� tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 can Cheerwine
� cup whole milk
2 large eggs
Chocolate Frosting
6 Tbs. unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 � cups confectioners� sugar
� cup natural cocoa powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
� tsp. salt
1/8 cup skim milk
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with 18 cupcake liners and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and salt and set aside. In another medium bowl, whisk together the Cheerwine and milk.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Alternate adding the dry and wet ingredients in three batches, starting and ending with the flour mixture and mixing until just combined.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop 4 spoonfuls of batter into muffin liners so that are approximately � full. Bake for 16-18 minutes in the center of the oven or until cupcakes are set and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool in muffin pan for 2-3 minutes, then move to cooling rack to finish cooling.
Frosting:Using a mixer, beat the butter at medium speed for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, sift together the confectioners� sugar and cocoa powder. Turn off the mixer and add the sugar-cocoa mixture, then combine on low speed. Increase the speed to medium and add the vanilla, salt and milk. Mix for 3 minutes. Place frosting in a piping bag or using a frosting spatula ice the cupcakes with approximately 1 tablespoon of frosting. Serve at room temperature.
Cheerwine Ice Cream (From Cooks.com)
4 eggs
2 cups milk
2 cups sugar
2 � cups Cheerwine
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 (13 oz.) can evaporated milk
Put eggs and milk in double boiler and heat until steaming hot throughout. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat; add sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk. Chill; add Cheerwine. Put mixture into 4-quart ice cream freezer container and add enough milk to bring mixture to fill line.
* Note:If you don�t have a double boiler, use a small to medium-sized pot and an ovenproof bowl that will fit inside the pot without resting at the bottom. Fill the pot about � full of water, making sure the bottom of the ovenproof bowl does not touch the water.

Print beats net for fraud
Scammers still prefer old-world means, FTC study shows
With Nigerian 419 scams, phishing attempts and other dubious spam flooding your inbox, you may be tempted to think the net is the epicenter for today's shysters. But it turns out print advertising beat out the internet as the most common means for spreading fraudulent pitches, according to a US consumer survey released Monday by the Federal Trade Commission.
Direct mail, flyers and ads in newspapers and magazines were used to hawk fraudulent schemes for 27 percent of reported incidents, compared with 22 per cent for websites and email. Television and radio came in a close third at 21 per cent. Telemarketing accounted for nine per cent, according to the US government agency.
The survey counted only scams that American citizens fell victim to, rather than attempted scams that nobody bought. This may explain why most of us can produce dozens of internet-borne come-ons trying to fool us into giving up banking credentials, but comparatively few printed materials aimed at defrauding us. Still, the statistical survey of fraud in the US is a reminder that internet is a vehicle for only a small portion of the schemes that defraud.
Fraudulent weight-loss products hoodwinked 4.8 million people, making them the most common form of fraud. Tying for second with 3.2 million were foreign lottery scams and buyers' club memberships. In foreign lottery scams, consumers are told they have won a lottery they never entered, but must surrender personal information or a pay a fee to receive their winnings. Victims of phony club memberships are billed for the privilege of joining.
Ranking third, fourth and fifth respectively were: Fraudulent prize promotions, which fail to deliver a promised reward in exchange for making a purchase or attending a sales presentation; work-at-home programs, in which the victim earned less than was promised; and pitches for phony credit-card insurance.
In all, 30.2 million US adults - 13.5 per cent of the adult population - were victims of fraud over a 12-month period that started in November 2004. So it is entirely possible that the internet has assumed greater weight in than other mediums in fraudsters' schemes since then.
The FTC's report summary is available here. ®

Departing from Cefalù, on the northern shores of Sicilia, many of the riders might be thinking of the 1994 World Championships – that day when France's Luc Leblanc battled Italy's Claudio Chiappucci to be crowned king in Agrigento, on the island's southern coast. Sunday's 207-kilometre trans-Sicilian stage will be very undulating and favour an attacking rider when it arrives on the same stretches used in the Worlds 14 years prior.
Ex-World Champion Igor Astarloa is eyeing the stage. "I have already had a look at many of the Giro stages, also the second stage, after the time trial," Astarloa of Team Milram noted. "It is the same spot of the Worlds that was won by [Luc] Leblanc, in Agrigento. This year, there are a small number of stages for the sprinters and many finishes on small ascents; stages for [Paolo] Bettini, [Danilo] Di Luca." (GB)

text: Late in 2008 we reported that Dorna had signed a deal to bring MotoGP to the Asian country of Singapore. With no track to actually host the event, the Singaporeans have been busy making a venue for the premiere two-wheeled racing class. That bit of business seems to be coming to a close, and MotoGP seems headed to Singapore in 2012 with the new Changi Motorsports Hub.

Perhaps the busiest bassist over the last 20 years (and he's not yet 40), Christian McBride has covered the waterfront—the motive energy of his agile, articulate bass driving the funk of James Brown, the jazzy pop of Sting, the hard bop of Freddie Hubbard and the modern classical repertoire of the Shanghai Quartet.
As a leader, he's written and arranged for big band acts and formed the Christian McBride Band, his popular electro/fusion quartet that's now on sabbatical, as well as a number of temporary "Christian McBride situations," as he calls them. In 2009, at the recommendation of Lorraine Gordon, owner of New York's jazz mecca the Village Vanguard, he put together a new acoustic quintet, ran a contest to name the group and has been touring with the aptly christened Inside Straight ever since.
The quintet delivers swinging, straight-head jazz of a very high quality, with an equally high feel-good quotient. Next week, for two nights at the Outpost, McBride and Inside Straight—with Peter Martin (piano), Jaleel Shaw (sax), Warren Wolf Jr. (vibes) and Carl Allen (drums)—will hit a high note in the New Mexico Jazz Festival's impressive 2011 lineup. (See the sidebar for the complete festival schedule.)
The liner notes for the quintet's premiere release, Kind of Brown (with Steve Wilson on sax and Eric Reed on piano), include a McBride quote about the late pianist James Williams that could be applied to McBride's work with Inside Straight. "Young jazz artists have all been taught that we have to write something challenging to be modern, but James never fully believed that. He wasn't out to reinvent the wheel each time he wrote a tune; he was all about fine melodies and a fine harmonic structure."
I don't really think there is something new. ... All the elements are already there. It's just a way of interpreting those elements.
Christian McBride
Enlarging on the theme in a phone conversation, McBride says, "I mean, what is modern? Everybody says something like, Well, to create something new. And see, this is where I think naïveté plays a big part in statements like that, because I don't really think there is something new. ... All the elements are already there. It's just a way of interpreting those elements."
More important for McBride is personal expression—the artist embracing his own individuality and path. "It's apparent to me that it's all about your personal stamp," he says. "I believe you write as you feel." Sometimes that feeling requires an odd meter and challenging harmonic elements, he says. Sometimes it needs tried-and-true eight-bar phrasing and a harmonic structure out of the great American songbook. For McBride, the validity is not in the modernity but in the emotional and artistic integrity.
Whether music is complex or simple, unusual or familiar, what makes a composition attractive and listenable, McBride says, is "some sort of core in it that draws people to it." Groove, melody, harmony—whatever the core may be—that's what he looks to get to as a listener and a player.
The quintet finds it unfailingly, and with the deftly responsive and challenging rhythm section of Martin, McBride and Allen, the group can ride all over a tune's sweet spot all day without wearing it out.
On Kind of Brown, saxophonist Wilson flows through every tune with instinctively surprising dexterity, and the sweet phrasing of Wolf on the vibes brings a lyrical touch even to burners. Explaining his choice of vibes in forming the quintet, McBride says, "There's something about the sound of the instrument. It's very celestial." The great vibists, from Lionel Hampton down to Warren Wolf, he says, "bring a certain flavor out in the music that no other instrument can bring."
Inside Straight brings out its own flavors, putting its personal stamp on music new and old.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Raise your hand if you're tired of the Orlando Magic drama?
And feel free to raise both of yours. You can also tell the person next to you to get 'em up as well, because this Magic madness is starting to wear on all of us.
The latest twist to this seemingly never ending story has Magic star Dwight Howard demanding that his coach, Stan Van Gundy, be fired, according to WKMG Local 6 Sports Director David Pingalore. It's a sordid affair that won't stop anytime soon with this sort of stuff coming out:
Pingalore's Magic sources confirm that Howard continues to convey to team owners that he wants a change in the coaching staff.
There was an ESPN.com report before the trade deadline that Howard told the Magic to fire Van Gundy. Both parties denied that rumor.
But as one league source told Pingalore, firing Van Gundy will not come as a surprise to people that work in the NBA and that it would come from the direction of Howard.
The league source did say this is pretty much a done deal based on Howard's demands, and the Magic are already putting pieces together to make a decision after the season.
However, one Magic player who did not want his named used said that there is still is a possibility that Van Gundy could return.
"(I) do not think Stan leaving is a done deal yet," said the player.
Van Gundy hasn't changed his stripes. He's still candid as ever after wins and losses (check this Orlando Sentinel Q&A after last night's loss to the Pistons for some vintage Van Gundy). Again, this isn't the first time this issue has been raised this season.
Stan's brother, Jeff Van Gundy, weighed in on this whole mess last week, suggesting exactly what Pingalore is reporting. Jeff Van Gundy took direct aim at Howard and the Magic front office for what he believes is an agreement to oust his brother.
This is family drama — The DeVos family, the Howard family, the Van Gundy family and really the Magic family — that needs to play out in private. There's no need to make the rest of us suffer through round after round of this incessant backstabbing and anonymously sourced bickering.
Someone needs to deliver the rest of us from this relentless evil (we have the stretch run of a regular season we'd like to tend to) and put an end to all of the speculation … if that is indeed all it is?

Dimitri Rascalov (Russian: Дмитрий Раскалoв) (1969 - 2008) is the main antagonist in Grand Theft Auto IV, and a major character throughout the game. He begins the game as the second-in-command of the Faustin Family, one of the premier Russian gangs in the city.
Dimitri is the best friend and second-in-command of Mikhail Faustin. The two met each other while serving in the Soviet Army during the Cold War, and eventually spent time in a Siberian prison together. The two were "closer than brothers", according to Mikhail; following the move to Liberty City, however, Mikhail became an alcoholic and cocaine addict, and no longer heeded Dimitri's advice. Dimitri himself developed an addiction to pain-killers.
Volatile and paranoid, Mikhail would have people killed on a whim or out of spite, and favored murder as the solution to most problems; Dimitri, by contrast, was more of a businessman, willing to use reason and non-lethal methods if such an approach would be more profitable. Dimitri warned Mikhail that their operation should keep a low profile and that they should "play by the rules", but Mikhail would not listen; his intemperance eventually led to war with the Petrovic Family, after Mikhail had Lenny Petrovic murdered on the mere suspicion of betrayal.
Dimitri cut a side deal with Kenny Petrovic to save his own life — in exchange for the murder of Mikhail, Dimitri would live, and continue the operation of the Faustin Family without interference from the Petrovics. Dimitri hired Niko Bellic to kill Mikhail — Petrovic allegedly requested that Niko kill Mikhail as atonement for his prior killing of Lenny.
With Mikhail dead, Dimitri took over the Faustin organization, and became partners with another powerful gangster, the European Ray Bulgarin. Once it was discovered that Bulgarin held a grudge against Niko, Dimitri lured the latter into an ambush; Niko escaped with the aid of his friend "Little" Jacob Hughes, but failed to kill Dimitri or Bulgarin -- both would continue to pursue Niko from then on.
Dimitri put out a contract on Niko and his cousin, Roman Bellic. Their apartment in Hove Beach was burned down, as was Roman's taxi depot; the two were forced to flee to Bohan to escape the attention of the Russian underworld. Dimitri would be seen again throughout the course of the story, at one point successfully finding and kidnapping Roman after his gambling habit lured him back to Broker. Niko mounted a successful rescue of Roman; he would next encounter Dimitri's deputies when the Russian Mafia attempted to extort deputy mayor Bryce Dawkins over his gay affair with Niko's friend Bernie Crane. Later, mob boss Jon Gravelli revealed that Dimitri had made an alliance with the Ancelotti Family, and was attempting to seize control of activities usually conducted by the Italian Mafia; he also spoke of Dimitri's involvement in cocaine imports, a matter of grave concern to U.L. Paper's anonymous representative.
Relationship with Mikhail Faustin
Dimitri and Mikhail Faustin have twin tattoos on the palms of their hands, meaning "brothers for life" according to Mikhail. Dimitri appears to have become "the brains" of the Russian operation, Mikhail's cocaine addiction having eroded his business sense; eventually Mikhail's rashness risks the lives of himself, Dimitri and Niko, and Dimitri conspires to kill him with Niko's help (see The Master and the Molotov). At the Perestroika cabaret club, Niko ambushes Mikhail, killing his entourage and confronting him on the roof; Mikhail warns that Dimitri is treacherous, and will betray Niko just as he has betrayed Mikhail; Niko ignores this and shoots Mikhail dead. Although Dimitri's motives were obvious here, Mikhail's prediction turns out to be true.
Towards the conclusion of the story, Dimitri becomes involved in a heroin distribution ring with the Pegorino Family, for whom Niko is working at the time. Jimmy Pegorino asks Niko to be his representative; the player can choose to conduct the deal as Jimmy wishes, thus gaining a sizeable cash reward, or to ambush and kill Dimitri, taking revenge and ensuring the safety of Niko and Roman from further betrayal. If the player decides upon the Revenge path, Niko finds and kills Dimitri aboard the Platypus, the very ship which transported Niko to America.
If the player decides to do business with Dimitri, then Niko and Pegorino ally Phil Bell visit the drug warehouse which is the venue for the deal; Dimitri phones Niko, telling him that he is happy to work with the latter again, but that he has killed the people who were supposed to take part in the deal. Niko pledges to come after Dimitri later; he and Phil ambush the warehouse and steal the money. Later, at Roman's Wedding, Dimitri sends an assassin to kill Niko; when Niko struggles with him, the assassin accidentally shoots Roman dead instead. Outraged at his cousin's death, Niko and Little Jacob track Pegorino and Dimitri down to an abandoned casino; Niko then sees Dimitri kill Jimmy out of mere greed, betraying yet another business partner. Dimitri escapes in a helicopter; Niko and Jacob pursue him in an Annihilator, and both choppers crash on Happiness Island. Niko fights his way through the last of Dimitri's henchmen, and confronts him near the Statue of Happiness. Dimitri then succumbs to his injuries; his death is later announced on Weazel News.

LCPD database record
Surname: Rascalov
First Name: Dimitri
Age: 39
Place of Birth: Russia
- Known associate of Mikhail Faustin.
- Linked to Russian Organized Crime Syndicates throughout Liberty City.
Criminal Record:
- 1998 - Extortion
- 2000 - Hijacking
- Prior murder convictions in Russia.
- Exploited a loophole in the immigration treaty to gain US residency in the mid 90s.
- Believed to be the right hand man of Mikhail Faustin, the Russian national in control of organized crime in the Hove Beach area.
- Reported dealings with Russian mobster Kenny Petrovic and members of the Ancelotti Crime Syndicate.
- During the game's final battle, Dimitri has 100 body armor as well as 200 health, allowing him to sustain about 3 times as much damage as a standard enemy. He is also armed with an Assault Rifle. This does not apply if he is confronted in the "A Dish Served Cold" mission in the "Revenge" story path, where he has normal health, no armor, and carries a Sub-Machine Gun.
- Like many characters, Dimitri features distinctive models for cutscenes and in-game sequences. However, Dimitri's in-game model is inconsistent with that of the cutscenes in that his tie is fused with his shirt and textured to match its color, when cutscences depict his tie in pink and capable of swinging in motion. Despite these differences, the shape of the "fused" tie can still be seen on Dimitri's in-game model, particularly during "A Dish Served Cold". After Niko has executed Dimitri in this mission however, the tie does not appear on Dimitri's corpse. The frame of his glasses is also different: Black in cutscenes and yellow in-game.
- Dimitri's cousin was a girlfriend of Lenny Petrovic before his death. It's probably the reason, why Dimitri could make a deal with Kenny Petrovic after Mikhail Faustin's hit: he was closer to him.
- Dimitri's favorite radio station is Vladivostok FM.

Clarifying facts are needed…
On June 3, 2010, I wrote an article about the "Howard Hughes" Patek Philippe Ref. 1463 watch. It was subsequently brought to my attention that there are inconsistencies in the story of this watch, namely its purported link to American icon Howard Hughes. The watch, whose value Christie's estimates to be $150,000 – $200,000, is to be sold by the famous auction house (as "Lot 385") on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 as part of the "Important Watches Featuring The Leo Collection: 31 Sophisticated Wristwatches Curated by Frank Schilling" sale.
You can read Christie's full account of this watch in its e-catalogue for the auction (page 266). Troubling inconsistencies in Christie's account of the provenance of this watch arise when compared to other publicly available information and conversations with those who were close to Hughes.
These inconsistencies have subsequently been brought to the attention of Christie's, along with questions which attempt to clarify the provenance of the watch. Christie's thus far has only stated "we are researching the inquiries and will respond accordingly".
A complete response is thus pending — and expected — prior to seeing this watch go under the hammer, if it should go at all.
As are many of the stories intertwined with the life of Howard Hughes, this one appears to be a long and convoluted one.
Update: I would be remiss not to credit Massimo and the readers of his fine blog at Orologi di Classe (Italian) for being the first (June 2) to point out that the PP engraving on the buckle of the watch was also misspelled. While I have not questioned the authenticity of the Ref 1463 itself, I can say that this feature is certainly an oddity!
Stay tuned in.

Amanda Knox Retried In Italy?
ROME (AP) — A lawyer says Amanda Knox is "very anxious" as Italy's top criminal court hears arguments from prosecutors appealing her acquittal in the murder of her roommate. The court is considering prosecutors' contentions that the 2011 acquittals of the Seattle student and her Italian ex-boyfriend in the murder of British student Meredith Kercher should be thrown out and a new trial ordered.

Their history dates to ancient Egypt. They became popular in this country after World War II when servicemen brought the Japanese versions home as souvenirs. The Dalai Lama frequently wears them. And many people today consider them an essential accessory of summer.
But the simple sandals known as flip-flops simply aren't a good fit for every situation.
"While flip-flops are perfectly fine – and far better than going barefoot – in a number of settings, they do have some drawbacks," said Christina S. Long, DPM, a podiatrist and instructor in orthopaedic services at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. "They really don't offer too much support or protection. Wearing them too often or for certain intensive activities can lead to a variety of foot problems."
Flip-flop wearers can take steps to avoid most of those problems by following these recommendations from the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA):
Additional foot health information – including lists of APMA-approved flip-flops and other products – is available on the association's website, www.apma.org.
"I specialize in foot and ankle medicine and surgery, and prevention is a big part of my practice," Long said. "When it comes to flip-flops, all it really takes is a little common sense to avoid injuries."

When Police Officer Larry DePrimo stopped to help a homeless man in need on a frigid night this month, he had no idea his private gesture would become a public symbol of New York at its gritty best.
But a stranger snapped a cellphone photo of him — which went online this week and has now been seen by millions.
Officer DePrimo was working the Times Square beat on Nov. 14 when he came across a barefoot man hobbling down 7th Avenue. Many folks would've just walked on by, but not DePrimo.
"It was freezing out and you could see the blisters on the man's feet," DePrimo said this week. "I had two pairs of wool winter socks and combat boots, and I was cold."
So he stopped into a shoe store and plunked down $75 for a pair of winter boots and thermal socks for the man, whose name he never learned.
As DePrimo squatted down to help put those new shoes on, a tourist from Arizona took the now-famous photo of the scene.
"I was never so impressed in my life," said the tourist, who sent her photo over to the NYPD, which posted it on Facebook Tuesday. It quickly went viral.
New York cops get bashed every day — so this is an image of the force that is rarely seen, a side its critics would have you believe doesn't exist.
But the NYPD is not just a wall of blue.
It's a collection of 35,000 men and women like Larry DePrimo, who spend their days and nights working to protect and serve the city — and who, in quiet moments like this, give a great deal of comfort, too.
New York's lucky to have the NYPD.
Just as the NYPD is blessed to have DePrimo.

So you're ready to bring one-click publishing to your authoring tool. There are a few steps to take, and we're going to lay the groundwork for you here.
Here's what you'll need to get PENS implemented with your authoring tool:
The nature of how PENS works means that you'll need a temporary place to store your content that can be accessed by the target LMS over the internet. The first step behind a "publish" button in your authoring tool will involve packaging and uploading the content to the staging server.
After your content is on your staging server, you'll need to send an HTTP request to the target LMS. This HTTP request can be a POST or GET request, and will tell the LMS what it needs to know about your content. The perfect place to get started with this code is our
nike blazer pink glitter in the air
.The LMS will then download your content.
From here, there will be some communication sent back from the target LMS, to alert you to any errors or to confirm that everything went as planned. These "receipt" and "alert" locations can either be traditional URLs that point to a page you host, or email addresses. For URLs, you can write notifications in your system with a bit more code to process the HTTP posts you'll get from the target system. For emails (in the form of "mailto:" links), the user can be notified directly via email without any extra code needed on your part. This code will give you a start on "listening" to results from the LMS, and will dump results to a log.
See PENS in action with SCORM Cloud and Claro, the authoring tool from Dominknow. Click link to watch: http://www.screenr.com/niAs – just make sure to click the fullscreen icon.
Conceptually, it's that simple. You'll need to familiarize yourself with the different PENS commands and parameters, and you can find them in the PENS specification, pages 10-20.

A data type, in programming, is a classification that specifies which type of value a variable has and what type of mathematical, relational or logical operations can be applied to it without causing an error. A string, for example, is a data type that is used to classify text and an integer is a data type used to classify whole numbers.

nike air max speed turf basketball
and the nike air max 90 neon black
The data type defines which operations can safely be performed to create, transform and use the variable in another computation. When a program language requires a variable to only be used in ways that respect its data type, that language is said to be strongly typed . This prevents errors, because while it is logical to ask the computer to multiply a float by an integer (1.5 x 5), it is illogical to ask the computer to multiply a float by a string (1.5 x Alice). When a programming language allows a variable of one data type to be used as if it were a value of another data type, the language is said to be weakly typed .
Technically, the concept of a strongly typed or weakly typed programming language is a fallacy. In every programming language, all values of a variable have a static type -- but the type might be one whose values are classified into one or more classes. And while some classes specify how the data type's value will be compiled or interpreted, there are other classes whose values are not marked with their class until run-time. The extent to which a programming language discourages or prevents type error is known as type safety .

Read a QA with Michael Dimock, president of Pew Research Center, on recent developments in public opinion polling and what lies ahead.
Telephone polls still provide accurate data on a wide range of social, demographic and political variables, but some weaknesses persist.
The first video in our "Methods 101" series is about random sampling, a concept that undergirds all probability-based survey research. Here's how it works.
Courtney Kennedy of Pew Research Center, who chaired survey researchers organization AAPOR's task force on political polling in the 2016 U.S. elections, discuss the group's findings and recommendations.
An experiment comparing responses to 27 questions fielded on both a telephone and a web survey found no significant mode differences in overall opinion about Trump or many of his signature policy positions.
Opinion polls in the U.S. can address the same topic yet reach very different results. There are several reasons this can happen, but we tackle one of the most basic: Did the poll include or exclude the 45% who didn't vote in November?
The results of the 2016 presidential election came as a surprise to nearly everyone who had been following the national and state election polling
There is a great deal of speculation but no clear answers as to the cause of the disconnect, but there is one point of agreement: Across the board, polls underestimated Trump's level of support.
The firm that runs the presidential exit poll expects to interview about 100,000 voters across the country by the time the polls close on election night.
In the aftermath of presidential debates, there is intense interest in gauging "who won." How can we know the answer to that question?

ARM increases design and licensing resources in Japan
CAMBRIDGE, UK AND TOKYO, JAPAN – Apr. 8, 2003 – ARM [(LSE:ARM); (Nasdaq:ARMHY)], the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC microprocessor solutions, and Toppan Printing Co. Ltd., have announced that Toppan has become the first Partner in Japan to join the ARM® Approved Licensing Program (ALP). As a result, Toppan will be able to provide customers who wish to design ARM core-based system-on-chip (SoC) solutions with a complete end-to end service including easy access to ARM technology as well as expert design and technology integration services.
As an ALP Partner, Toppan will be able to provide a turnkey service to its customers from design services through to sub-licensing ARM core technology offered through the ARM Foundry Program. The ARM microprocessor cores that can currently be licensed through an ALP Partner include the ® core, the ™ core, the ™ core and the ™ core.
Toppan becomes ARM's second ALP Partner and this is important because of the company's reputation in the Japanese market and extensive customer relationships. Toppan already has in-depth experience of the ARM architecture through its work as an ARM technology access program partner in the ATAP™ program, since March 2001. Toppan has nine design centers in Japan offering design services based on the ARM architecture.
ARM and Toppan expect the turnkey solution offered through the ALP program to be of particular interest to fabless, application manufacturing companies that want to use ARM core technology and/or ASIC solutions.
"This agreement further strengthens our relationship with Toppan and our presence in the Japanese market," said Takio Ishikawa, president ARM KK. "Working together, we will be able to provide Partners throughout Japan with easy access to the industry-leading ARM architecture, coupled with local design expertise. This is a powerful combination for our Partners who are under increasing pressure to reduce time-to-market for new ARM Powered® devices."
"Our partnership with ARM in this new program has the potential to open up new markets in Japan for both of our companies," said Masafumi Takizawa, Director, Toppan Technical Design Center Co. Ltd. "Customers now have the advantage of being able to come to us for both ARM core technology and design services, which can speed up the process for companies moving to ARM core technology for the first time."
Both the design and turnkey services will be carried out by Toppan Technical Design Center Co. Ltd., which is Toppan's subsidiary company and a specific company of system LSI design and logic design.
Editor's Note: The Approved Licensing Program (ALP)
The ALP program is the latest in the ARM flexible licensing models, designed to meet the challenges of today's fast-paced technology marketplace. Through the program, ALP Partners are able to offer a comprehensive service to its customers, comprising both design services and licensing of specific ARM core technology offered through the ARM Foundry Program. This service benefits companies that are looking for an ARM core-based turnkey solution.

* Euro STOXX 50 up 0.7 pct, hits fresh 18-mth highs

By Toni Vorobyova
* Euro STOXX 50 up 0.7 pct, hits fresh 18-mth highs
* Strong Ifo helps German DAX outperform
* Investor optimism seen fuelling further mkt gains
By Toni Vorobyova
LONDON, Jan 25 (Reuters) - European shares scaled fresh
multi-month peaks on Friday, with forecast-beating German data
and bigger-than-expected paybacks of crisis-time loans by banks
fuelling the conviction that the region is on the recovery path.
Frankfurt's DAX index led the rally, scaling
five-year highs and closing 1.4 percent higher after the
closely-watched Ifo January business morale index beat the
consensus to match the most optimistic economist's forecast.
Confidence in the euro zone recovery was further bolstered
by news that banks will repay 137 billion euros ($183 billion)of
European Central Bank crisis loans next week, around a third
more than expected.
The EuroSTOXX 50 index of euro zone blue chips
provisionally closed up 0.8 percent at 2,744.18 after setting a
fresh 18-month intra-day peak of 2,748.13.
"People are choosing to pounce on any bit of good news. For
the moment the trend is very much to the upside," said Stephen
Walker, head of equities research and market strategy at
Ashcourt Rowan.
"From a really deep fundamental standpoint I probably still
have some pretty major concerns but at the moment the market is
not in the mood to worry about that. It's a sentiment thing -
people have gone from being extremely pessimistic to being far
more optimistic. At the moment any news is good news."
The EuroSTOXX 50, up 4.1 percent so far in January, is on
track for an eighth month of gains, extending its longest bull
run since 1998, but is still 67 percent below the peaks of 2007.
In a further signal of stronger appetite for risk assets,
implied volatility on the euro zone blue chip index fell to
fresh six month lows.
The improved economic backdrop and stronger investor
confidence has enabled investors to focus more on company
specific factors, boosting the performance of stock pickers.
"Quite understandably, people are beginning to differentiate
more between markets and, even within, so it is definitely more
of a stock picker's world," said Andrew Milligan, head of global
strategy at Standard Life Investments.
"The tech sector sums it up perfectly ... We are all well
aware that smart phones are the theme to play but within that
you are very definitely seeing winners and losers."
Nokia came out as a loser, extending Thursday's
sharp drop as the Finnish handset maker's plans to scrap
dividends for the first time in its recorded history fanned
concerns about its cash position.
On the gainers' board, Bayer was the top
performer among European blue chips, after Bank of America
Merrill Lynch added the drugmaker to its "Europe 1" list of
preferred stocks.
"Valuation remains attractive with shares trading at circa
11 times expected 2014 earnings despite premium growth," BofAML
analysts said in a note, targetting a share price of 84 euros on
the stock against 75.92 euros currently.
"We continue to believe product launches will reinvigorate
top line growth and improve investor sentiment."

Tomorrow's News Today reports that Farm Burger's next location won't be inside the Atlanta metro area. Heck it won't even be located in the state of Georgia.
According to TNT, Farm Burger is following in the steps of another Decatur staple, Universal Joint, and opening a fourth location in Asheville, NC. Farm Burger will be located in the "historic Leader building", which looks like it was just sold in January.
TNT goes on…
George Frangos, founder of Farm Burger, has been scouting other southern cities for his planned expansion outside of Atlanta and sees Asheville as a good secondary market considering its similarities to Decatur, home of the original Farm Burger.
So the question is: Is Asheville becoming "Decatur North"? Or is Decatur becoming "Asheville South"?

New York City's High Line may soon be home to a unique piece of public art. The sculpture, entitled 'Train', is the work of Jeff Koons. Train would be a full-size replica of a 1943 Baldwin 2900 steam locomotive, suspended in the air above the raised public walking path. While the proposal still requires significant funding to make it a reality, it does offer an opportunity to highlight the park's rail history. (New York Times)

Mercy Snow by Tiffany Baker
Mercy Snow by Tiffany Baker is a story about two families from the small town of Titan Falls on the Androscoggin River in northern New Hampshire. This is a gripping character-driven story with touches of magic realism and descriptions of the natural environment of the area. From the author's descriptions, I felt as if I could not only see the river but smell it as well. The Snow family owns land on the steep ground of the riverbank outside of town on Devil's Slide Road and has a reputation as ne'er do wells that live off the land. The wealthy and locally powerful McAllister family—husband Cal, wife June, and teen son Nate—operate the paper mill which is the major employer for the town. During autumn in the mid-1990s, nineteen-year-old Mercy Snow arrives at the Snow family land with her older brother Zeke and nine-year-old sister Hannah. Their estranged and now deceased father, Pruitt, had taken ownership of the land in the 1970s--twenty years after the previous owner Gert had gone missing. Mercy finds work with Hazel who owns sheep and makes artisanal yarn. Hazel had been abandoned by the river as a baby and still grieves the loss of her son. Then on the night before Thanksgiving while bringing the church youth group back from a neighboring town, the school bus driven by Hazel's husband Fergus slides off the icy Devil's Slide Road. Nate's childhood friend Suzie is killed, and Fergus suffers brain damage. During the accident investigation, Gert's remains are uncovered. Zeke's truck is found crashed further up the road, and Zeke is blamed for the accident. June finds evidence that implicates her husband but chooses to make the Snow family the scapegoats. Mercy knows in her heart that Zeke was not at fault, but she faces a daunting task in clearing his name and keeping the family together. The characters are complex and flawed but likeable and realistic, and in the end some of them will find redemption as well as tragedy.

Welcome to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health's site for information and tips on living tobacco free.
Quitting smoking isn't easy – but it's one of the best things you can do for your health and the health of those around you. Los Angeles County has made tremendous progress in reducing the rate of smoking over the past generation, but smoking is still a problem here. Nearly 9,000 lives are lost each year as more than one million adults in LA County continue to smoke. And the more people smoke, the more others are exposed to the toxic chemicals in secondhand smoke.
By working together, we can reduce the level of tobacco use and LA County can be a healthier place for all residents.

Everybody loves to redecorate rooms every now and then. Is not it amazing how sometimes just a few added touches can transform a room and give it a totally different look? Its fun to add different touches to a room to bring that added touch of style and pizazz but who has the money these days to totally redecorate a room? There are all kinds of things to buy such as flooring, furniture, window fixtures, and the list goes on and on.
Another thing to consider when choosing accent chairs for your home is choosing the right type of material for your accent chair. You need your chair to be great to look at but you also want it to be functional in its designated room as well as comfortable. If you are choosing an accent chair for a very formal room, you may want to choose an elegant straight back wooded chair where great attention to detail has been placed in the chairs carving. If you need a chair thats functional but also flexible microfiber may be a good material to choose.
