The Huawei Mate is certainly big enough to block out the sun, but it'll have a hard time overshadowing the new Huawei Ascend D2. The water and dust proof D2 features a 5-inch 1080 x 1920 display and is powered by Qualcomm's 1.5Ghz quad-core Snapdragon processor.
Other specs include 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage and a 3,000 mAh battery, which Huawai claims is cable or recharging 25 percent faster than the Samsung Galaxy SIII. Huawei is also stepping up its imaging game by offering a 13 megapixel rear camera with f/2.2 aperture, 5P lens and a hybrid IR filter. The phone has also been equipped with "super hands free" technology, allowing the device to serve as a speakerphone from 2 meters away.
The Huawei Ascend D2 will head to China in January and should hit Japan after that. There's no indication that the phone will be coming to any US service providers, but it'll probably make it to Europe before the summer. We'll be stopping by the Huawei booth tomorrow to get some hands-on time with the new phone. What are your thoughts on Huawei's new Android lineup? Is the Chines manufacturer ready to directly compete with the big boys in the US market?Show Press Release
"The HUAWEI Ascend D2 has the style, power and all-round performance capabilities you would expect from a HUAWEI Ascend smartphone, but with a revolutionary FHD screen, unsurpassed camera quality and power saving technology to maximize your enjoyment," said Richard Yu, CEO, Huawei Consumer Business Group. "We are excited to introduce the HUAWEI Ascend D2, the latest addition to our series of Ascend range of smartphones, as we continue to put great technology into the hands of more people around the world."
The HUAWEI Ascend D2 has a 5-inch Super Retina fast response IPS panel display and a resolution of up to 1920 x 1080, perfect for full HD 1080 video playback. With its 443 PPI, the Ascend D2 provides unprecedented color accuracy and clarity. Protected by the anti-scratch Corning® Gorilla® glass, and the dust and water resistant IPX 5/4, the Ascend D2 is tough enough to withstand everyday use.
The HUAWEI Ascend D2 features a 13MP BSI rear-facing camera with detail capturing technology and an ISO sensitivity level higher than other smartphones in this category. HUAWEI Ascend D2 also has a tailored manual color temperature adjustment function to provide a professional-level photography experience.
HUAWEI Ascend D2′s 3000mAh battery is optimized by Huawei's QPC and ADRX smart power-saving technology. Leveraging Huawei's more than 20 years of telecommunications know-how, QPC technology lowers battery consumption by automatically turning off the transmitter circuit when data transmission is not in use. Its ADRX technology identifies and automatically adjusts the DRX cycle based on the network status, reducing power consumption during standby mode by over 20 percent. In addition, Huawei's proprietary fast battery charging technology enables the HUAWEI Ascend D2 to be fully charged in 30 percent less time than its takes other smartphones under the same electricity conditions.
The HUAWEI Ascend D2′s 'swift sharing' makes it easier than ever to share. With a Wi-Fi connection, uploading pictures, videos and other files is two- to three-times faster with the Ascend D2 than other smartphones in the market. Its 'super hands-free' function transforms the Ascend D2 into a conversation sharing portal to receive sounds within a radius of 1.5m. The Ascend D2 also supports Dolby® surrounding sound and stereo recording.
The HUAWEI Ascend D2 has a stylish and elegant design with an aluminum body and metal frame. Weighing just 170g and measuring 9.9mm thin, its curved design fits comfortably in the hand. Available in pure white and crystal blue, the HUAWEI Ascend D2 will also be produced in a 4.7-inch screen version. The HUAWEI Ascend D2 will be on sale in China in January 2013, and in Japan in the future.

Wild top Hurricanes; each team loses goalie to injuryby Dan Myers / NHL.com
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- With both starting goalies out with injuries and clinging to a 2-1 lead, the Minnesota Wild picked a good time to play their best period of the game Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Minnesota, outplayed for much of the first 40 minutes, found its game in the third period and won a battle of goaltender attrition 3-1 at Xcel Energy Center.
The carnage in the blue paint started a little more than four minutes into the game when the Canes' Cam Ward sustained a lower-body injury while stretching to stop a 2-on-1 shot by the Wild's Mikael Granlund. The shot sailed wide, but Ward was slow to get up and left the game at the next whistle, about 15 seconds later. He was replaced by Justin Peters.
"Don't like to see that with anybody," said Hurricanes defenseman Justin Faulk. "But we trust [Peters] too. We're confident in any goalie we put in there."
Minnesota goaltender Josh Harding, who entered the night as the NHL's leader in goals-against average and save percentage, was injured at some point during the second period. Noticeably grimacing in the crease and slow to get up several times, Harding finished the period before giving way to Niklas Backstrom at the start of the third.
Peters entered the crease for Carolina for the first time this season and allowed goals on the first two shots he faced.
The first, a power-play goal by Minnesota's Nino Niederreiter, gave the Wild the lead at 11:39 of the first. It was Niederreiter's first career power-play goal and came off a pretty behind-the-back feed by Granlund from behind the net.
The Wild have now scored a power-play goal in eight of 11 games this season.
A little more than three minutes later, the Wild made it 2-0 when Zach Parise knocked a loose puck out of midair after a shot by Jared Spurgeon hit the post.
But the Wild struggled after that and clearly lost a bit of intensity once they gained the two-goal edge. They got sloppy too. Granlund and Dany Heatley each committed penalties in the first four minutes of the second period, and with one second remaining on Heatley's slashing minor, Alexander Semin made it 2-1 when he ripped a one-timer from the left circle past Harding at 6:01.
Carolina outshot Minnesota 12-6 in the second period and had 21 shots on goal after two -- reaching the Wild's league-leading average for shots against per game in 40 minutes.
"We definitely took our foot off the gas," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. "Through two periods, we weren't real pleased with our game. Luckily, we found [our game] up a goal still."
"We knew the first period was going to be hard because we hadn't played in a few days," Carolina coach Kirk Muller said. "In the second, I thought we took over and gave ourselves a great opportunity to go into the third period."
Peters stopped the final 19 shots he faced, keeping the Hurricanes in the game under difficult circumstances.
"I just tried to get my bearings and battle for the boys," Peters said. "Once I got into the game, I definitely felt more comfortable, just trying to prove to myself that I'm an NHL goalie and instill that trust in the team."
Backstrom entered in the third with the Hurricanes having 1:45 remaining on a power play, and he made a couple of big saves to get into a groove early.
Backstrom hadn't played in a game since he sustained a knee injury Oct. 8 against the Nashville Predators. He stopped all seven shots he saw in the period.
"You can't pick and choose what time [you enter a game]. You have to be ready no matter what happens," Backstrom said. "It's easy when you see the puck and you get to move around. Sitting a long time on bench, it's hard to get comfortable when you go out there. But the guys helped me out there and let me see a couple pucks."
With less than two minutes to play, Radek Dvorak was sent to the box for a high-sticking penalty, hindering a potential Hurricanes rally. Heatley scored an empty-netter -- his first goal of the season -- at 19:34, providing the final margin.
During the game, the Hurricanes announced Ward will miss three to four weeks. With regular backup Anton Khudobin already on the shelf with a lower-body injury of his own, Carolina announced it will call up goalie Mike Murphy from the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League. Murphy is 1-2-0 with a 3.81 goals against average in three games this season. He will meet the team in Denver, where the Hurricanes play the second half of a back-to-back Friday against the Colorado Avalanche.
The Canes also lost forward Jeff Skinner and Ryan Murphy to injuries during the game. Muller said Skinner has an upper-body injury and will need to be evaluated.
Murphy put in one of the gutsiest shifts you'll ever see, blocking a Clayton Stoner blast from the point and then staying on the ice for another 90 seconds -- and through an icing -- as the Wild hemmed the Canes in their end. Murphy missed a couple of shifts but returned to the game.
The Wild were less certain about Harding's prognosis. Yeo said he sustained a lower-body injury, but specifics or a timetable for return were not immediately available.
"I hope it's not bad and he'll be back soon," Backstrom said.

Did you get all your holiday shopping done and out of the way? Oh yeah? You even made your own wrapping paper and designed your own gift tags, you say? And you're including a neatly wrapped bundle of homemade biscotti with each gift to show everyone just how much you care? Well f*ck off, I'm not talking to you.
I'm talking to those who—like me—will be giving out a lot of IOUs this year because they bought all their gifts online late Sunday night and missed the shipping window. Merry Christmas, guys, you're all getting personalized Christmas ornaments in mid-January.
But there were lots of people who took advantage of Free Shipping Day on Monday, December 17. ComScore reported Monday that Free Shipping Day prompted a surge in online spending and bumped the season-to-date growth rate to 16% over the same period last year. Since November 1, $38.7 billion has been spent online.
This has been a pretty strong season for e-commerce. Last week, comScore reported the heaviest online shopping week in history, with four individual days exceeding the $1 billion mark. Cyber Monday 2010 was the first time in history that online spending surpassed $1 billion in a single day. But with four days busting past the $1 billion mark last week, it marked the first time that online spending reached $7 billion in a single week.
"We typically do not see such heavy spending this late in the season, but the fact that Free Shipping Day occurred on a Monday, combined with the fact that so many retailers extended their promotions into the middle of the week—with guaranteed shipping by Christmas—helped deliver an encouraging late-season surge," said comScore Chairman Gian Fulgoni, in a statement.
Last week saw a huge uptick in spending, with consumers spending $3.7 billion online from December 17 to December 21—marking a 53% increase over the same week last year.
So far this year, Cyber Monday still stands as the heaviest online shopping day with $1.46 billion spent online, but a few other days have come pretty close. Tuesday, December 4 was the second heaviest with $1.36 billion spent online, followed by Monday, December 10 (Green Monday), with $1.28 billion, and Tuesday, November with $1.26 billion. Mondays tend to be the heaviest days for online spending, according to comScore.

Four cases of whooping cough in East Lyme schools
East Lyme - What seemed like an ordinary cold, with coughing, sneezing and a runny nose, turned out to be a potentially dangerous and highly contagious illness for four students in town schools this month who were diagnosed with pertussis, commonly called whooping cough.
"It's not something to take lightly," said Dr. Joseph Gadbaw, chief of infectious diseases and chairman of the Department of Medicine at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London. "It's usually not a big problem for adults, but it can be for pediatric-aged patients, especially babies."
The illness had all but disappeared in this country for decades after a vaccine was developed in the 1940s, but it has resurged in the last five years, with large outbreaks nationally in 2010, 2011 and 2012, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nationally, cases peaked at a 58-year high in 2012, when there were 50,000 cases, including 20 deaths. In Connecticut that year, there were 156 cases.
"The vaccine seems to be wearing off after three to five years," said Amy Pisani of Waterford, executive director of a national nonprofit vaccination advocacy group, Every Child By Two, that's based in Mystic. Less potent vaccine, along with parents not having their children vaccinated or failing to get needed booster shots, she said, is largely responsible for the resurgence of the illness.
"It really is a deadly disease for infants," she said. "It's a horrible, horrible death. The outbreaks need to be taken seriously." Babies and children with the illness can develop pneumonia, encephalitis and pulmonary complications.
In adults, the illness can last three to four weeks, but usually isn't serious, Gadbaw said. The real danger, he emphasized, is adults passing it to children, especially infants.
Because the infection can spread rapidly, Pisani and other public health advocates are urging all pregnant women to be vaccinated in the third trimester, which will protect newborns until they are old enough to be vaccinated.
In addition, grandparents, siblings and others who have contact with infants should make sure they're up to date with booster shots, which are recommended every 10 years. Her group currently has a campaign underway to increase pertussis vaccination rates among pregnant women, only 30 percent of whom are currently getting the shot.
"This is our number one priority right now," Pisani said. "We're trying to get the word out to OB-GYNs and pregnant moms."
Last week, East Lyme schools Superintendent James Lombardo sent a letter to parents of district students, informing them that three high school students and a fourth at Flanders Elementary School had contracted the disease. Lombardo said town schools are "aggressive" about making sure its students are up-to-date on vaccinations against pertussis and other contagious diseases, but used the letter as a chance to remind parents to make sure their children have all the required shots and boosters.
State law requires elementary school-aged children to have four doses of the whooping cough vaccine, and a booster for students entering seventh grade.
"We sent the letters out the same day we got the diagnosis," he said.
While he didn't have information about the status of the four students' illnesses, the school's medical advisor said that once the children begin taking antibiotics, they are no longer contagious and can return to school, according to Lombardo. Typically, the illness starts with upper respiratory symptoms, but after two weeks, the cough worsens. Children whose lungs are still growing often develop the "whooping" sound as they try to catch their breath.
Lombardo said the four students were all up-to-date with immunization shots against pertussis, which had been administered in the DTaP vaccine that protects against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis.
"It's unusual but not improbable," to get the disease even if vaccinated, Lombardo said.
Pisani said the four cases in East Lyme illustrate the concern that the vaccine's protection is wearing off after a few years, meaning booster shots are more important than ever.
Also, she added, "vaccines are not 100 percent effective, so a child who got vaccinated who is surrounded by the disease lacks what we call herd immunity and remains vulnerable," she said.
Gadbaw at L+M said that in addition to getting the vaccine and boosters, anyone who's had close contact with people sickened by whooping cough should consider asking their doctors to prescribe antibiotics as a preventive measure. That's especially true for anyone around infants, he added.
"We try to put our arms around anyone who's been exposed," he said.
The state Department of Public Health also is urging pregnant women to get the vaccine, spokesman William Gerrish said. While clusters of whooping cough cases are "not uncommon" in the state, Connecticut is on track to have its lowest number of cases in a decade. So far in 2013, just 39 cases have been reported, he said.

Has Time Run Out for Detroit's Bankrupcy Talks?
Is time almost up for Detroit's bankruptcy talks? Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr seems to think so.
In story published today by Bloomberg, Orr remarked that time is running out for creditors to reach an agreement with the city on a plan to resolve the biggest U.S. municipal bankruptcy by reducing $18 billion in debt. He wants sufficient agreement among creditors in the next couple of weeks to be able to enact a debt-adjustment plan later this year that offers bondholders as little as 20 cents on the dollar while proposing pension benefit cuts. A court-appointed mediator is helping the city negotiate with creditors. Detroit entered bankruptcy July 18.
Bloomberg reports:
The city on April 14 will ask a judge to let it seek votes from retirees, bondholders and other creditors on Orr's debt-reduction plan, filed Feb. 21. Winning support from retirees is necessary for the city to lock in funding from the state and nonprofit foundations seeking to protect city-owned artwork, Orr said yesterday in an interview…Private foundations and Governor Rick Snyder have offered a combined $815 million to reduce the size of pension benefit cuts. In return, the Detroit Institute of Art collection would be shielded from liquidation to pay off creditors. Orr also proposed spending $1.5 billion to improve city services such as buses and technology. Without a deal, the city may have to battle its unions, retired workers, bondholders and bond insurers to win approval of Orr's plan. Unions are fighting in an appellate court to have the bankruptcy dismissed, bond insurers have sued over proposed cuts to general-obligation bonds, and retirees say the plan's pension cuts may push many of them into poverty.

Wilson schools take extra precautions during a search
WILSON – The Wilson High School and Middle School and Thomas Marks Elementary School were put into lockout status to secure the perimeter and keep students in place as Niagara County sheriff's deputies and State Police looked for a 16 year old boy who ran into a wooded area near the schools and threatened to hurt himself and officers searching for him just before 3 p.m. Wednesday. Authorities said the search stemmed from a domestic issue and involved a boy with mental health issues. They said there was no weapons threat and no threat to the school. The boy returned home a few hours later.
Wilson School Superintendent Michael Wendt said parents were informed through automated telephone calls, and there were only minor delays in getting the students on the buses and back home after school hours.
The missing boy appeared to be using a cell phone to communicate with his mother during the search and officers were able to trace the signal to help locate the teen, according to the sheriff's department.

I LOVE my new bracelet! It was a gift to myself this year and it's gorgeous! My only complaint would be a lack of info on how it's made out of magazines. I wanted to share the info with all the admirers I have had! Wonderful bracelet and cause; thank you!!
- June 7, 2016
Very cute and unusual. The beads are colorful and shiny. The Metal is not silver so it will tarnish and wear so best to not handle the metal parts much. Colors will vary, and mine was mostly lime green and bright blue with some other colors mixed in. Do not count on getting the exact bracelet seen in the picture. I like this bracelet a lot and am glad that I helped others. Great bracelet to wear with t-shirts and other casual wear.

S.D. St. Player Participation (No new redshirts burned)
Some key notes:
-Shaw did not take a snap at TB, but was healthy enough to play special teams (unless he had an in-game injury that I did not notice that kept him out after the 1st qtr - anyone????)
-Looks like R. Taylor switched from #21 to #6
-No new freshman got their first snaps (and, therefore, no new burned redshirts)
-Rawls did not take a snap (and considering Hoke's comments this week regarding his limited play against EMU is not enough - by the new rules (?) - to burn his redshirt)
-Obviously, Countess got legit p.t. this week (not sure if it was planned or due to Woolfolk missing time - anyone????)
-Shout out to T. Robinson for his work as gunner on punt team - was always on top of the returner on every punt forcing a fair catch or making the instant stop
-Noticed J. Furman (#14) on special teams for the first time this year making his way to the play

"A number of you have emailed us with one question on your minds: Will there be a Summer of Code this year? The answer, as you might have guessed, is yes! The SoC is our program to introduce students to the world of Open Source software development. Last year of the 8744 applicants, 419 students were accepted into the program and more than 80% of them succeeded, which means they received the full stipend of $4500. As of today, we're taking in applications from mentoring organizations, so watch that list of mentoring organizations grow!"

It's been fascinating to watch the political ricochets set in motion by the defection of Tim Cahill's running mate on October 1. When it first happened, Paul Loscocco's decision to quit and endorse Republican Paul Baker looked like a crippling blow to Cahill's independent campaign. Then the media started lavishing sympathy on Cahill, and Cahill sued the ex-aides who had masterminded Loscocco's departure -- while providing some pretty damning email evidence to back up his allegations of bad faith. At that point, Cahill looked a genuine victim, and his campaign seemed rejuvenated.
On Wednesday, the narrative changed again, radically. I was in Norfolk Superior Court when Judge E. Susan Garsh issued a ruling that both sides claimed as a victory. By next Monday, three of Cahill's ex-aides need to produce sworn affidavits detailing confidential information they've received from the Cahill campaign -- but the Cahill campaign's request to conduct emergency depositions of the ex-aides was denied.
Even though Cahill's attorney spun Wednesday's outcome as a victory, it was flat-out horrible for the candidate himself. That's because Judge Garsh also allowed the release of electronic communications which suggest quite strongly that Cahill broached the wall that's supposed to separate his gubernatorial campaign from his work as state treasurer. Here, for example, is part of a text-message exchange between Cahill's campaign consultant Dane Strother and his former campaign manager, Adam Meldrum, on July 27:
Strother: I just got the go ahead on everything we discussed. Yes on lottery ads and he has plenty of money. Yes on stepped up fundraising. Yes on going negative.
Meldrum: Yes!
Strother: Need to know the pollsters name and how much money the lottery has to spend. Cahill thinks most of the two million is there....
Strother: [W]e run ads about the lottery being well run and putting money back in the communities. I am going to speak to the ad company about copy cahill agreed
This isn't the only evidence that the Treasury/campaign wall was meaningless in Cahill's operation. As State House News Service has reported, for example, Treasury staff apparently sought guidance from the campaign on how to handle the state's holdings in BP following that catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. And the Herald notes that Katherine Craven, who runs the Treasury's School Building Assistance Program, whipped up Cahill's talking points on healthcare.
What makes all of this especially damaging is that Cahill and his Treasury colleagues have adamantly denied that any inappropriate collusion occurred. Last Friday, Lottery executive director Mark Cavanagh told the AP, "[T]here was absolutely no conversation, or whatever the insinuation was, between the campaign and the lottery." And yesterday, when WBUR's Bob Oakes asked Cahill if he would release any communications between the lottery and his campaign that show the two worked together on those new ads for the state lottery -- Cahill answered that no such communications exist. (Go to Part I, 23:20.)
If you're a Cahill partisan, you might object that the conversation I mentioned above took place between two campaign operatives, not between the Treasury and the campaign. Fine. But it also suggests Cahill gave one of his campaign operatives the go-ahead to shape the Lottery's new ad in a way that would advance Cahill's gubernatorial hopes. Given that, Cahill's denial yesterday -- and any comparable denials by campaign or Treasury staffers -- strikes me as deeply dishonest.
This story could still take another twist. Maybe the sworn affidavits from those ex-Cahill aides will put Baker's campaign in a negative spotlight yet again. Or maybe Loscocco will back up his still-unsubstantiated claim that Cahill and Patrick's campaigns were colluding with each other, and the Democratic Governors Association, to take Baker down.
For now, though, it's awfully hard to have any sympathy whatsoever for Cahill. And it's easier than ever to imagine him and Jill Stein vying for third place on election night.

Time of Poss.
Junior kicker Jordan Gay (Danville, Ky.) kicked five field goals and the defense forced four turnovers as the Centre College football team opened its 2011 season with a 38-21 win over Hanover College Saturday, Sept. 3 in Hanover, Ind.
The win is the sixth season-opening victory for the Colonels in the last seven years. The lone loss came last year in overtime against Hanover at home.
The Panthers struck first using a 14-play 76-yard drive to take a 7-0 lead as quarterback C.J. Croft capped the scoring drive on a two-yard rush.
Centre scored its first points of 2011 on a safety. The Colonels forced Croft into an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone to make it a 7-2 game.
Gay kicked his first of five field goals in the second half, a 46-yarder to cut the lead to 7-5.
After forcing the Panthers to go three-and-out on their next possession, Centre took over on its own 41-yard line. Ten plays and 54 yards later, Gay hit his second field, a 23-yarder to give the Colonels their first lead of the season at 8-7.
Senior quarterback Tyler Osterman (Monroe, Ohio) found senior running back Jonathan Pinque (Athens, Ala.) for a 23-yard scoring strike with 57 seconds left in the first half for Centre's first touchdown of 2011 and a 15-7 lead.
Following two penalties on the ensuing kick-off, Croft's pass on first and 35 from the Hanover 23 was intercepted by senior Kent Crick (Evansville, Ind.) and returned to the Panther nine-yard line, where Gay drilled a 25-yard field goal with time expiring for an 18-7 halftime lead.
Gay, the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Newcomer of the Year a year ago, hit two more field goals (34 yards and 29 yards) in the third quarter, while Pinque scored his first rushing touchdown of the year on a one-yard plunge to give the Colonels a 31-7 lead after three quarters.
Hanover added a touchdown at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but Centre answered with junior running back Monte Scotton (Cleveland, Tenn.) crossing the goal line from one yard out. Senior defensive end Cooper McGuire (Danville, Ky.) set up the score by recovering a fumble and returning it to the Hanover six-yard line.
The Panthers added a late touchdown for the 38-21 tally, but it would not be enough.
Osterman finished the day 20 of 28 for 163 yards with a touchdown pass and an interception. Pinque carried the ball 24 times for 52 yards with a score, while also catching five passes for 55 yards and another score.
McGuire led the defense with five tackles with a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Crick added another interception to pick off two passes on the day and break up two more, while senior defensive end Javod Sewell (Duluth, Ga.) had four tackles, including three for a loss.
Centre will take a week off and then return home for its 2011 home-opener against Washington & Lee University, Saturday, Sept. 17. Kick-off is set for 7:30 p.m. at Farris Stadium in Danville, Ky.

UPMC Shadyside offers a wide range of surgical procedures, including robotics, as treatments for many diseases and conditions.
In addition to general surgery, surgeons at UPMC Shadyside perform advanced procedures in many specialties:
Robotic surgery does not mean that a robot replaces the surgeon. It means that robotic technology provides enhanced visualization and dexterity so that surgeons can perform many complex procedures that would otherwise have to be performed with conventional open incisions.
For patients, robotic surgery can mean a shorter hospital stay, less pain, less blood loss, less scarring, and quicker recovery. Robotic surgery outcomes are consistent with those of standard minimally invasive surgeries.
Owning the technology is the first step. It also is crucial that the hospital and its surgeons have the expertise in using the technology. UPMC is a leader in robotic surgical technology in western Pennsylvania. UPMC began using the da Vinci® Surgical System at UPMC Presbyterian in 2003 and moved it to UPMC Shadyside in November 2007, where it is now being used for prostate, gynecologic, and oncology surgeries.
UPMC Shadyside has a dedicated operating room for da Vinci surgeries and a dedicated team with specialized training and experience in robotic technology.

Is your child getting low grades? Blame the cellphone
Researchers found that cellphone use was negatively related to Grade Point Average (GPA) and positively related to anxiety.
As cellphone use continues to increase, it is worth considering whether use of the device is related to measurable outcomes important for student success, such as academic performance,anxiety and happiness, researchers said.
Researchers Andrew Lepp, Jacob Barkley, and Aryn Karpinski from the Kent State University, US surveyed more than 500 university students.
Daily cell phone use was recorded along with a clinical measure of anxiety and each student's level of satisfaction with their own life, or in other words happiness.
Finally, all participants allowed the researchers to access their official university records in order to retrieve their actual, cumulative college grade point average (GPA).
All students surveyed were undergraduate students and were equally distributed by class (freshman, sophomore, junior and senior).
In addition, 82 different, self-reported majors were represented.
Results of the analysis showed that cell phone use was negatively related to GPA and positively related to anxiety.
Following this, GPA was positively related to happiness while anxiety was negatively related to happiness.
Thus, for the population studied, high frequency cell phone users tended to have lower GPA, higher anxiety, and lower satisfaction with life (happiness) relative to their peers who used the cell phone less often.
The statistical model illustrating these relationships was highly significant.
A team led by Lepp and Barkley also identified a negative relationship between cellphone use and cardiorespiratory fitness.
"Taken as a whole, these results suggest that students should be encouraged to monitor their cell phone use and reflect upon it critically so that it is not detrimental to their academic performance, mental and physical health, and overall well-being or happiness," researchers said.
The study was published in the journal Computers in Human Behaviour.

* Levin circulates list of specific tax ideas to colleagues
* Automatic spending cuts will be 'disaster,' he says
By Kim Dixon
WASHINGTON, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Senator Carl Levin for years tried to close U.S. corporate tax loopholes but failed to persuade many fellow Democrats. With an ax now looming over all federal spending, the veteran Michigan lawmaker hopes to gain some converts.
Levin's committee on investigations has long used its subpoena power to produce reports on corporate tax avoidance and wrongdoing. His panel, which has oversight over government operations, has no power to enact tax law, and neither tax-writers nor Senate leadership have taken up his cause.
It may be an uphill climb for Levin's ideas to win passage, given the lack of backing from Senate leadership and Max Baucus, the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, in the past. His last plan for tightening the corporate tax regime would have raised about $150 billion over 10 years.
Levin has previously sought to expand the Treasury Department's power to battle tax haven banks and countries that help the wealthy hide taxes, and to curb incentives for U.S. companies to move jobs overseas and to transfer intellectual property offshore.
A six-term senator better known as chairman of the Armed Services Committee, Levin will again in coming weeks introduce legislation to close tax loopholes. It will be part of an effort to head off the sequester looming on March 1 when $85 billion in indiscriminate spending cuts will be imposed across nearly all federal programs.
"It is kind of gelling," Levin said in a hallway interview on Tuesday. "I've circulated now to our chairmen in the caucus a list that is very specific, a discrete list," of proposals on corporate tax avoidance.
Levin says the threat of deep cuts to domestic and defense spending could bring new converts.
"It would be a disaster," Levin said of the sequester's impact. "It is mindless."
Many of Levin's ideas are expected to be reprised in President Barack Obama's budget proposal, expected within weeks.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Tuesday said averting the sequester should include more targeted spending cuts and new revenue.
Reid specifically mentioned oil companies, another Obama target, but not one Levin has focused on.
The majority leader earlier this month introduced a non-binding "Sense of the Senate," titled the End Wasteful Tax Loopholes Act, which Levin signed onto.
The one-page document got little attention when introduced, but it calls for cutting "wasteful tax loopholes that create incentives for taxpayers to engage in transactions that have no economic substance solely (in order) to lower tax bills."
Other provisions in Levin's last effort include establishing a presumption that a corporation formed by a U.S. taxpayer is considered under that taxpayer's control for tax purposes, and disallowing companies from accounting for stock options in one way to tax authorities and another way on their financial statements.

During Sharon Osbourne's statement, the television personality admitted that although she was "devastated" by Ozzy's relapse, her marriage is worth fighting for. Ozzy himself declared that he was 44 days sober at the time of his Facebook posting, and now Sharon insists that she will support Ozzy as he fights the disease of addiction.
During today's episode of 'The Talk,' Sharon stated the following:
Everything that was printed in the tabloids has been distorted. There's always a little seed of truth to everything that gets reported, but then it gets very distorted. The only thing that's true was the Facebook posting that my husband did on his Facebook, where he said that he's been using alcohol and prescription drugs for the last year and a half, and that he's been an a—hole, and he's been in a very dark place. That's true, it's very true. Everybody knows he's been struggling with this his entire life. I never knew that he was using prescription drugs. I knew he was drinking occasionally, but I didn't realize, you know, to the extent. It's our business, we're dealing with it. We're not getting divorced, however am I happy? No. Am I upset? Yes, I am. I'm devastated right now. It's a disease that not only hurts the people who have the disease, but it hurts the family. It hurts people who love you. And, we're dealing with it. We've dealt with worse, and this too, shall pass. Otherwise, my husband will be taken to the hospital to get my foot removed from his ass.

The Book History Colloquium at Columbia University is pleased to present "Illustration, Ornament, and Printing Processes in Joseph Boillot's Nouveaux Pourtraitz et Figures des Termes pour user en l'Architecture (1592)" a lecture from Columbia University's Erin Schreiner, on Tuesday, March 22 at 6pm in Butler Library. This is the fourth lecture of the Spring semester in the Book History Colloquium, a continuing series exploring book history, print culture, the book arts, and bibliographical research.
Joseph Boillot's lavish book of zoomorphic caryatids is one of the earliest to be printed from both movable type on the letterpress and copperplates on the rolling press. Manufactured in the provincial town of Langres by the town's first known printer, Jehan des Preyz, the book contains over fifty wood-cut and copperplate illustrations accompanied by letterpress text that is heavily ornamented with custom cut headpieces and highly stylized initial letters. Part of a larger study of the imposition of copperplates in rolling press printed books, this talk will reconstruct the story of this book's journey through two distinct presses by way of bibliographical analysis and typographic evidence, including varying plates, type ornaments, signature position, and paper stock, present in copies in the rare book collections at Harvard University, New York Public Library, and the Avery Library.
Erin Schreiner is a Rare Book Assistant in the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library at Columbia University. She is currently earning her MLIS from Long Island University, with a concentration in rare books.
The Book History Colloquium series is free and open to the public. All events are held on Columbia's Morningside Campus in Butler Library's room 523 from 6:00–7:30 PM. For detailed speaker information or information on upcoming events, please visit /content/libraryweb/indiv/rbml/exhibitions/bhc.html or e-mail Gerald Cloud at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Rare Book & Manuscript Library owns over 500,000 rare books in some 20 book collections and almost 28 million manuscripts in nearly 3,000 separate manuscript collections. It is particularly strong in English and American literature and history, classical authors, children's literature, education, mathematics and astronomy, economics and banking, photography, the history of printing, New York City politics, librarianship, and the performing arts. Individual collections are as eclectic as they are extensive. For more information, please see: /content/libraryweb/indiv/rbml.html
Columbia University Libraries/Information Services is one of the top five academic research library systems in North America. The collections include over 11 million volumes, over 150,000 journals and serials, as well as extensive electronic resources, manuscripts, rare books, microforms, maps, and graphic and audio-visual materials. The services and collections are organized into 22 libraries and various academic technology centers. The Libraries employs more than 500 professional and support staff.

*Game played on July 5th. I'm still making some grammatical corrections which I'll update later. Also, I probably spelled every city incorrectly.
Into Acerima
A synopsis through the eyes of Cooncarin Trunks
It had been over two months since the adventure bug had bit me, but now it did, and it bit hard. Unfortunately many of my regular adventure buddies were busy or out of Givemea. But thankfully, my two most loyal guild-mates were around and ready to go. Lucky Luck of course was there, and as I always say, eager to get away from his wife. (In other news, she was surprisingly non-active during our trip and I can't remember a single time she bothered us on the ever annoying two-way wife amulet.) Zomb was also up for a trip and is always a welcome adventurer. Now all we had to do was determine where to go. At first we thought about going to Hellman's keep again, but decided against fighting hundreds of lizardmen. We considered going to the Hut's to finally destroy the evil lich which abides there, but a feeling told us now was not the time. A last minute suggestion, by Lucky, was to go to Acerima to travel to the center of Big Peak Mountain Range. It was mutual agreement to bring Stir along, since a fourth member would be a substantial benefit, even at his low experience.
The quickest way to get there would of course be to teleport to Bont, and even though it meant less fighting along the way we knew that as we got older our adventures have been getting shorter. So, teleportation it was. We left our horses behind and everyone successfully made it to Bont. We didn't stay long; only long enough to check the magic shops for new gear, and then left. We crossed the border into Acerima without any problems and made it to Nancur in now time. There was nothing of interest here, so after staying the night we moved on. The quickest path to the mountain range was through the capital, so we took the trail to the town of Tryal first. Once again, nothing good here, so we stayed the night and left in the morning.
During our first day travel we met what appeared to be some merchants. They had guards approach us as most merchants do, and we asked what they had for sale. The guards then made a comment about how they didn't sell things, they stole things. All of them pulled swords out and attacked. It wasn't until then that I noticed all of them were wearing plate mail (an expensive armor for merchant guards) and were using decent weapons. It was three on six (unless you count Stir, which I don't) but none of us were scared. I killed one man pretty quick and so did the others. Lucky was on his third by the time I started my second, and it was then these thieves figured they had no chance and made a run for it. Since we had bought cheap horses in Bont we couldn't keep up with their war horses. Lucky pulled out the magic broom and gave chase, as did Zomb on his horse. I stayed back to heal Stir who had failed to kill anyone and practically died in the process. This is why I demand he practice with a sword more and read books less! Minutes later Lucky and Zomb returned with the dead thieves and their horses/gold. The fight was actually a very good thing since we each upgraded to war horses and got a cart in the process.
We stayed the night under the protection of my massmorph spell, and the next morning made our way towards the capital again. That evening we were attacked by Ankegs, which are greedy ground creatures that explode out of the ground to eat horses. Since we now had 10 horses though, we let them eat their fill and move on. The next morning we made it to the capital city of Kariema. We spent more time in the beautifully annoying city then I ever wish to do again, and had the unfortunate experience of meeting Acerima's king. Our entrance began as such, two days earlier after killing the thieves Lucky used a speak with dead spell to find the location of these horrible thieve's lair. We were told it was in the capital behind the guise of a livery. As soon as we made it to Kariema we found this lair and using my wizard's eye spell even got a peak inside. Before doing anything rash we scheduled a meeting with the king to ask permission to wipe these thieves away from his city. The guard refused to let us meet him immediately, despite our claim of being dignitaries and diplomats from Givemea. Our meeting was in three days. We continued to spy on these thieves until our meeting. I asked two guards on the way to the throne room what the king's name was so that I may address him properly, but all they said was, Why? So, upon entering the throne room we introduced ourselves and said Greetings, King.... as if to say; what is your name? But he took offense to this and made claims that in Acerima very few knew his name and that we didn't need to. We were confused but told him about the thieves we discovered and his response was that he wasn't surprised. He knew of these thieves and many others. He tolerated them in fact. Now we were even more confused as King Dor would never be so forgiving. We offered to wipe out this band for him but he refused. When we began to ponder why, he got upset. He even made bold claims that he had spies watching us and that if we made any attempt to do justice in his city he'd know about it. Our final plea was that these thieves were killing people outside city walls for their gold but he didn't seem to care for his lands at all, only for his greed, at least that is how I saw him. A pompous fool.
We left the castle determined to catch one of the spies and act defensively so that the king could not get upset. We set up a trap where I was invisible and the Luck and Zomb would walk into an alley and I would catch any person who followed them. All that followed was a cat though so I picked the cat up and shook him. He seemed normal so I dropped him and he ran forward to Zomb. Zomb kicked the cat in anger and we left. It was then we heard moans behind us and realized the cat had turned into a man. We tied him up and questioned him back at the hotel where he made outrageous claims of being the king's spy. (We of course believed him but decided to use this opportunity to show the king we were more than just show and to mock him at his stupidity.) So we brought the spy back to the castle and said we had a spy claiming to work for the king there. An aid of the king's came to speak to us, named Sagent, and confirmed he was a spy for the king. We told Sagent he had better stop sending spies because we would be leaving the city and in the wild we wouldn't have time to ask questions.
The next morning we left towards the mountains. No more than six hours into our journey a pride of lions attacked us. Lions typically aren't a threat so we took them head on. Everything was going fine and the lions were dying quickly when one of the mongrels made a lucky bite and ripped my left leg off. I cursed as I fell down and left the battle to my teammates. Soon the lions were dead but even with the help of my ring of regeneration my leg would take days to heal. So we went back to Kariema to rest. The king sent a messenger to speak to us, for he had heard about my leg injury, at which I was very upset. Lucky and Zomb went to speak to him despite my fierce arguments against doing so. They were back soon, and from their tellings not much happened.
A week later I had a new leg and we were off again. I had no idea how wild these mountainous lands of Acerima could be, for in the two or three days we were out of the city heading south we saw more foul creatures than I dare to remember. Each encounter was during the night so we had the protection of my massmorph spell and I fear without it we would have had to endure some very difficult fights. The first night hippogryphs flew over who we ignored because there appeared to be quite a few. The next night, one or two rocs flew over, which we knew never to attack because of their immense size. On the third day of walking into the mountains we saw a group of maybe 20 giant wasps. Lucky and I had fought these before and we knew fire would help immensely in this battle. I shot off a fire ball but only killed 7 or 8 wasps. Zomb used our fire missiles amulet to kill more, but only killed 5. So, I had to resort to using my rod of lightning which killed 6 more. The remaining two flew off scared. This is good because giant wasps have a permanent paralysis poison which I'd rather not deal with.
At this point, we were beat. We had seen enough of Acerima for a while and forces that I cannot describe were bidding us back home. We made it to Bont alright and ported home. We all spent more gold than we gained but the experience was nice. I'd like to finish by saying next time I'm in Acerima I'll act first and just never ask the king for permission.

No I have an extra that I told Carroll about.
I actually have one for sale.
The card I am trying to find for awhile now is the 96 mirror gold
Hi Barry,
Great addition, and I am sure you paid a fair price. I hope you understand but I would rather keep value ranges to myself, in the unlikely even the other card pops of open auction.

The Hirsch conjecture has been around for over 50 years. The conjecture states that a -dimensional polytope with facets has diameter at most . (The facets of a polytope are the maximal dimensional faces (i.e. the -dimensional faces), and saying that the diameter is at most is just saying that every pair of vertices can be connected by a path of length at most .)
The upper bounds on diameter are very far away from ; in fact no bound that is even polynomial (much less linear) in and is known. It was considered substantial progress when Gil Kalai got the first subexponential upper bounds. This fact led many to speculate that the conjecture is false, and apparently Victor Klee encouraged many people to try disproving it over the years.
Francisco Santos has just announced an explicit counterexample to the Hirsch conjecture, in dimension with facets. Details to be described at the Grünbaum–Klee meeting in Seattle this summer.
To researchers on polytopes, this result may not be too surprising. Nevertheless, it is an old problem and it is nice to see it finally resolved. And there is something pleasing about finding explicit counterexamples in higher dimensional spaces. It offers a concrete way to see how bad our intuition for higher dimensions really is. Kahn and Kalai's spectacular counterexample to "Borsuk's conjecture" (in dimension ) comes to mind. I look forward to seeing the details of Santos's construction.

NBCUniversal is planning to sell part of its 15.8-percent ownership in A&E Television Networks to the other partners in the joint venture, Walt Disney Co. and Hearst Co. The deal could be worth about $2 billion.
Comcast Corp., which has a controlling stake in NBCUniversal, said earlier this week, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that it had exercised an option on March 26 requiring Disney and Hearst to buy back "a substantial portion" of its ownership in A&E. Each company owns about another 42 percent of the network. Philadelphia-based Comcast said it expects the transaction to close in the second half of this year.
Comcast spokesman Charlie Douglas and Hearst spokesman Paul Luthringer declined to comment Saturday. A Disney representative wasn't immediately available for comment.
Citi analyst Jason Bazinet estimated in a research note that NBCUniversal's stake is worth about $2 billion and could be used to reduce the company's debt. That could make it easier, he said, for Comcast to eventually acquire the remaining 49-percent stake in NBCUniversal held by General Electric Co.
A&E includes the History Channel, Lifetime, Biography as well as its namesake network.

Helen Clark: Speech at the Global Launch of the 2014 State of Energy Report for DubaiDec 10, 2013
Speech by Helen Clark, UNDP Administrator, at the Global Launch of the 2014 State of Energy Report for Dubai
New York
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today we mark the global launch of the first State of Energy Report for Dubai, which has been developed in a partnership between Dubai stakeholders and UNDP.
At the outset, let me thank HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum for the leadership he has given to addressing climate change and prioritising sustainable energy. Committed leadership is critical for achieving progress in these areas.
In recent years, UNDP has been proud to be a partner in the establishment of the Dubai Carbon Center of Excellence; the development of solar projects for registration through the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism; and support for the Dubai State of Energy Report. The Report being launched today is the first in a planned annual series, aimed at monitoring key trends and documenting best practices on energy in the public and private sectors.
Without doubt, sustainable energy for all is an enabler of poverty reduction, economic growth, and overall human and sustainable development. Yet 1.2 billion people in our world remain without access to electricity, and more than twice as many rely on traditional biomass for cooking and/or heating. At the global level, growth in clean energy supply is also critical for tackling climate change.
The UN Secretary General's Sustainable Energy for All (SE4A) initiative is helping to promote action around three ambitious goals for 2030: to ensure universal access to modern energy services; double the rate of improvement in energy efficiency; and double the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. Next month the United Nations Decade of Sustainable Energy for All (2014-2024) will be launched. There is also momentum behind including sustainable energy for all in the post-2015 global development agenda.
The challenge now is to move from global dialogue and goal setting on sustainable energy to action. UNDP itself intends to create a hub for decentralized, off-grid, and "bottom up" energy solutions, building on the more than twenty years experience it has in working to bring energy to the poorest and most marginalized.
Action at the sub-national levels on sustainable energy is vital. A 2011 UNDP study found that most investments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change are determined there. That is the case for fifty to eighty per cent of mitigation investments and up to 100 per cent of adaptation investments. Yet relatively few integrated and comprehensive strategies and policies for tackling climate change exist at that level. More are needed as decisions around transportation systems, building codes, and energy supply for example, are often taken there.
The Report being launched today is the first sub-national report in the Arab States region to report on trends and opportunities in the path to a sustainable energy future. It reflects Dubai's drive to emerge as a centre of innovation, investment, and technology for sustainable energy, in line with Dubai's Integrated Energy Strategy 2030.
The Report is a collection of articles, interviews, and success stories, based on contributions from over fifty leading thinkers on sustainable energy solutions from the public and private sectors and international organizations. It highlights trends in energy governance, including notable initiatives by the Dubai Municipality, and documents successful initiatives from low-carbon strategies to financing models, ways of reducing energy intensity through efficiency measures, and design of green buildings and transport systems.
Dubai has set targets for renewable energy to make up five per cent of its energy mix, and to reduce energy intensity and demand by thirty per cent by 2030. This latter goal would be achieved by retrofitting 30,000 existing buildings; applying green building codes to all new construction (achieving about forty per cent energy savings); and employing a range of new energy-saving technologies, including a smart grid with time-use tariffs and line-loss reduction.
More broadly, the United Arab Emirates has a high level of political commitment to leading on sustainable energy, and to supporting other developing countries – particularly those with similar climates - on this.
Masdar City in Abu Dhabi, which I had the pleasure to visit last month, is piloting renewable energy and clean technology solutions, and attracting technical talent, investment, and entrepreneurship in the renewable energy and clean technologies sectors. It is forecast to host 40,000 residents and 50,000 commuters by its completion date of 2025, and will host clean technology companies and research institutes.
In Mauritania, Masdar Clean Energy is helping fund the construction of the country's first large-scale solar-power installation. The project will increase electricity generation capacity in the country by ten per cent, and the plant, being built adjacent to the university in Nouakchott, will also serve as a learning laboratory for solar energy development. Similar ventures with UAE support are underway in Afghanistan and Tonga, and in the Seychelles where wind energy is being harnessed.
UAE hosts the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in Abu Dhabi – an important platform for international co-operation, research, innovation, and policy development.
The Report also points to the importance of integrating sustainability principles into the design of mega events, like the Olympic Games. In this regard, I congratulate the UAE on its successful bid to host the 2020 World Expo in Dubai, and its goal to make this a carbon neutral event.
I am also pleased to announce today that UNDP will support Dubai in its hosting of a new World Green Economy Summit in 2014. This Summit will bring together leaders in dialogue on how to advance sustainable development.
In closing, I would like to recognize the launch of the UAE's National Green Economy Strategy in 2012 by Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. I understand that it is the first such national strategy in the Arab States region. I commend the role which UAE is playing at the global level to promote sustainable development, not least as part of the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals and through its representative on the Advisory Board of the Sustainable Energy for All initiative, H.E. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State and Chief Executive Officer of Masdar.
The 2014 Dubai State of Energy Report contributes to a growing body of knowledge on climate change and sustainable energy. UNDP is proud to have been a partner in the preparation of this important publication.

Our son some how got a grab of our new iPad 3 and managed to crack the screen. We went back to Apple to see what we can do, but they really were not helpful. We would have to shell out $350+ for a replacement. We came in here instead and were surprised they could fix it for half the cost. Took them about 2 hours and now the iPad is looking like new.
