For the Thuy Fall 2009 show, Anthony Barrow for Avon created disheveled rocker updos.
"What we're going for is to create a dry, airy texture and Thuy wanted the hair to go up…to be a little bit rockabilly. We combed through some , on dry hair, and sprayed on . All of that is dried into the hair, using a hair dryer and paddle brush – which gives it a little bit of finish, but keeps it separated because we don't want the texture to be too perfect."
"The front half of the head is backcombed and the first few side sections are backcombed. Then the back is twisted asymmetrically across the back of the head. So it's a bit like a French pleat, but it runs behind the ear. The front is dressed back up and twisted and the ends are left out, so there's texture in the front. The reason for twisting the hair right to left is because the designer has created several looks with hats. So the hats go from left to right, so we're balancing that out. What's important is it's not too pretty. It's got a bit of gritiness to it. This is perfect hair, actually, because it's a little bit damaged."
When I asked about the inspiration, Anthony explained, "Thuy wanted something that was strong and 'not too girly,' in her words…and edgier and raw. But she wanted it to be clean and she wanted it to be flat. The emphasis needed to be on the front, with the texture. We went through many variations before we decided on this one."
Romero Jennings (for MAC) created the futuristic makeup look. "Thuy was talking about optimism and the future and clean lines. So I felt that the makeup should be organic, like a lot of her shapes are. But because she's doing some color, I decided to go black and white. I was able to use texture – so there's shine and matte. There's definitely a liner, and it's done with Blacktrack Fluidline, mixed with some new products. We have a new Black Collection for fall that is amazing."
"On the lid, I mixed Frozen White Pigment with Gold Pigment and a little bit of Reflects Gold. On the cheek, we're applying Mineralized Blush. But even though there's a hint of color, you're really not going to see it. On the runway, it's going to look like black and white and the skin is just going to glow."
"The lipstick is a mixture of Flesh Pot (from the limited-edition Heatherette Collection) and Myth. The look is kind of nude and fresh. On a darker girl, I'm going to use Chelsea (discontinued lipstick), which is nude and brownie. It's pretty. It's makeup that someone can actually do at home by themselves, with or without all of the extra things that I use. You can actually do this really great strong liner, highlight around it, do a neutral mouth and little bit of blush and you'll get the same effect."
When I asked Romero about emerging trends, Romero said, "For fall, I'm seeing that it's dark. There's a definite liner, but it's not pointy. It's not glam-y or vampy. It's almost more futuristic and modern. That's what I love about it. And the skin looks healthy."

The Aerofilms Collection contains lots of early aerial photographs of Britian. Many of these historic images are facinating and I'm looking forward to creating some great web pages using the images to compare places in Wales across time. These images will spark many memories I'm sure.
The Royal Commission is developing a project with English Heritage and RCAHMS to make the Aerofilms Collection of aerial photography accessible by conserving it, cataloguing it and putting the images online. If you would you like to be kept up-to-date with this project, please send an e-mail to email@example.com asking to join the mailing list and we will occasionally send you news and information by e-mail. Your e-mail address given in this way won't be used for any other purpose.
A colleague has shown me some facinating images of a huge ordnance factory just outside Bridgend that were taken just after the war, and a series of images of Cardiff Arms Park at different points in its life. I have chosen a couple of Aerofilm images to upload here to give you a flavour of the collection.
The first is Cardiff Docks, taken in 1925. Here you can see part of Bute Town (bottom left), including Bute Cresent, George Street and Louisa Street. The oval shaped basin is Bute West Dock Basin, connected to Bute West Dock via a lock. Bute East Dock Basin is more rectangular in shape and connected to East Bute Dock, again via a lock.
The second is an image of Gresford Colliery, Wrexham. This photograph was taken just a month after the terrible disaster at the mine in September 1934 when an explosion and subsequent fire killed 266 miners.

Hay fever is a form of allergy affecting the lining of the nose, &
often the eyes and throat too. As the name implies, it is an allergic response
to the pollen of certain grasses, but is used to describe similar reactions
to a wide range of pollens & the spores of some fungi.
Actions Indicated for the Processes Behind this Disease
Anti-catarrhals will ease the symptomatic discomfort that often
characteristic of this problem. Again, avoid trying to `dry up' the overproduction
with herbal de-congestants as in allergic rhinitis it can end up being quite
painful .
Expectorants are needed if wheezing or pulmonary congestion ensue.
Consider relaxing expectorants primarily.
Anti-spasmodics are essential for any marked difficulty with breathing.
Bitters help tone the whole body in the face of the immune systems
Anti-inflammatories will help with the various symptoms as and when
they arise.
Astringents will often ease the symptom picture.
Adaptogens and Immune support may help long term. This `catch-all'
covers any need to support liver, kidney etc. etc.. Please refer to that
section if this is not clear.

Protect and Defend
- A Novel
- Narrated by: Patricia Kalember
- Series: Kerry Kilcannon, Book 2
- Length: 21 hrs

Publisher's Summary
President Kilcannon resolves to nominate Caroline Masters - a brilliant jurist shadowed by a personal secret - as the next chief justice. In the Senate, two men who hope to succeed Kilcannon hold the key to her nomination: Majority Leader Macdonald Gage, and his bitter rival, Chad Palmer, a former military hero noted for his political independence. A hidden alliance between Kilcannon and Palmer is threatened when Mary Ann Tierney's inflammatory, nationally televised lawsuit thrusts the issue of abortion to the forefront of the Senate battle over the Masters nomination.
As the Tierney case moves to its dramatic climax, it poses a stark choice - between preserving the life of a potentially doomed fetus and putting Mary Ann's fertility at risk. The trial's legal and political dangers are equally clear: to the future of the pro-choice and pro-life movements; to the gifted but inexperienced woman lawyer who represents Mary Ann Tierney; to the bitterly divided and politicized appellate court that must review the trial, and on which Caroline Masters serves; to the president who has chosen her; to the powerful forces who wish to defeat her by any means at hand.

Future ability to bear children
It's only fair to be correct on the central issue of the legal fight in this book - protecting the teenager's ability to have future children, not racing the calendar before the probably-nonviable fetus was beyond 6 months old and permanently damaged the mother's ability to have more children.
The legal arguments on both sides of the law requiring teenagers to obtain parental consent to abortion were interesting. In addition, the political maneuvering over the appointment of a Supreme Court judge were too realistic for comfort. I recommend this book with the caviat that you will examine your personal philosophies on abortion, right to privacy, rights of teenagers versus parents, and lifestyle choices of public officials because of the content.

Able to see both sides
As a father and grandfather I can see the parent's point of view, but I can also see amd understand the daughter's side of the issue. If we are at a pont where we can only write politically neutral books, it's become a sorry state of affairs. All in all it was simply a great political mystery thriller that kept me wishing I could spend more time in the car listening to it to see what would happen next.

Read it for the enjoyment of the story
Don't read this book for its stance on politics, only as a good story. I read for enjoyment and this book was very enjoyable. It made you think about the stance between "no abortion" and "justifiable abortion". It was a great read. I watch movies and read books for enjoyment only and don't let any of the theorizing or politicing influence my opinion of a well written script.

Tops My List
Out of the more than 1,000 books which I have read over the past 20 - 30 years, I would rate this book as number one.
Those reviews which state that they stopped reading this book because they disagreed with Patterson's politics remind me of the Catholic Church's response to Galileo and Copernicus. This book is inappropriate for closed minded people unwilling to consider the validity of other points of view which differ from their pre-conceived positions. Whether or not you find Patterson's positions persuasive, the presentation is spellbinding.

Wheels within Wheels: Back-Room Politics
With "Protect and Defend" -- the second in what became his Kerry Kilcannon series -- Richard North Patterson returns to his protagonist from "No Safe Place." I recommend listening to that previous audiobook before beginning this one, although Patterson does attempt to fill in the back-story for us. All of Patterson's novels have intricate plots that cannot be briefly summarized; so that you will enjoy "Protect and Defend" more if you have listened to its predecessor. Also, you probably won't want to listen to "Protect and Defend" at all -- nor any of Patterson's other novels, for that matter -- if you have strong anti-abortion or strong conservative Christian beliefs. "Protect and Defend" deals frankly with abortion and women's right-to-choose issues. Contrary to what some previous reviewers have claimed, this novel does not rant rabid left-wing sentiments; but, rather, gives pretty un-biased, articulate voice to both sides of the abortion issue. Yes, Patterson does, ultimately, settle slightly left-of-center, on the side of the women's rights; but, prior to doing so, he clearly shows the agony of both sides. I am coming to respect Richard North Patterson, not only for his extraordinary writing skills, but also for his unabashed feminist stance. He writes controversial novels that illuminate important contemporary issues. "Protect and Defend" not only explores the undeniably painful abortion question; it also takes us behind the scenes of Washington politics, into the back rooms where deals and decisions are made. I kept wondering: How did Patterson learn about all these underhanded, sub-rosa wranglings? Yikes! It's scary in those back rooms! I fear that I wouldn't make a very good politician. Patterson portrays these ruthless guys doing whatever it takes to enhance their careers. In his Kerry Kilcannon series, Patterson posits an ethical man thrown into this nest of vipers. Through an admittedly unlikely concatenation of events, this ethical man -- the eponymous Kerry Kilcannon -- eventually rises to the American Presidency, where he finds that he must use the same under-handed techniques that his unethical opponents use, in order to combat their greedy self-interest. What a job! The narrator, Patricia Kalember, has a nice voice, and does make some attempt to distinguish the characters from one another with accents; but she lacks the range of voices that a really good audiobooks actress needs to do full justice to a complex book like "Protect and Defend."

Can't wait to see what happens next!
I love the suspense of these books and I found myself having a hard time to turn this off. I can see how some people with right leaning politis might find the book a bit offensive but to me it is real and maybe an opportunity for to take a long hard look at the other side of the argument.

Great story - lousy production
Have listened to more than a hundred titles - this is the first one that randomly repeated sections. Would like to think it was just a download problem, but suggest that Audible check it out.

Who was your favorite character and why?
You will fall in love with the characters as you walk through their plights. I had two favorite characters Sarah and Caroline, both had to stand behind their convictions while others tried to undermine the values they had established for themselves. My next two favorite characters were Senator Palmer and President Kilcannon, again both of these men had secretes that undermined their stated values but in the end each had to decided what was right.
What does Patricia Kalember bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book?
Patricia was an incredible story teller and made the characters some to life.
Any additional comments?
The book is excellent and you will enjoy the story and it might even challenge your beliefs. The only complaint I have is that in section 1 and section 2 several hours of the audio are duplicated and trying to figure out what parts were re-recorded versus new was troublesome. Hopefully someone will fix the error in the recording.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has implemented, through provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), incentive payments to eligible professionals (EP) and eligible hospitals (EH), including critical access hospitals (CAHs), participating in Medicare and Medicaid programs that are meaningful users of certified Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology. The incentive payments are not a reimbursement, but are intended to encourage EPs and EHs to adopt, implement, or upgrade certified EHR technology and use it in a meaningful manner.
The Illinois EHR Medicaid Incentive Program (eMIPP) will provide incentive payments to eligible professionals, eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) as they adopt, implement, upgrade or demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology.
The CMS Medicare and Medicaid EHR PIP program is voluntarily offered by individual states and territories, and can begin in 2011 once the state has a CMS approved infrastructure in place to manage the program. The program will continue until 2021. The last year a Medicaid provider may begin participation in the program is 2016.
As a provider, it is important to understand the steps required to ensure successful receipt of EHR incentive payments:

Hospice & Palliative Care would like to introduce you to a few of the special people we had the privilege to serve in the past year. Our compassionate end-of-life care was taken into their homes from Afton to Earlville and several towns in between. These patients are young and old; some are still with us, others have passed away; some have cancer, others do not. However, the one thing they have in common is that their lives, and the lives of those who love them, were made easier when they welcomed Hospice into their family.
Our Annual Friends of Hospice Campaign is the one time in the year that we ask for financial help from those of you who wish to support our mission, and want to help fill the gap between insurance reimbursement and the actual cost of patient care. Without these dollars, we would not be able to provide the wide variety of services that we do. If you would like to donate to this campaign you can call our office at 334-3556 and charge your gift or send a check to Friends of Hospice, 21 Hayes Street, Norwich 13815.

Metro UPass
A Convenient Commute
Webster partners with St. Louis Metro Transit to offer more frequent bus service and free public transport to campus.
The UPass program allows members of the Webster University community to ride both
Metrobus and Metrolink for free. It's part of the University's commitment to making
transportation more accessible, affordable and sustainable.
As part of the program, the Metro system offers an increased number of Metro bus trips between the Shrewsbury Metrolink station and the front of Webster Hall on Lockwood during hours that better match the needs of students. Parking is also available for Webster UPass users at the Shrewsbury Metrolink station parking lot.
The Webster University-branded UPass card is good 24 hours a day, anywhere on the Metro Transit system and available at the Webster Hall cashier windows to all fall 2018 registered students and fall 2018 employed faculty and staff with a Webster University photo ID.

Fast-paced bursting bubbles game.
Developer website: Class One Software
Blixx is a fast-paced, easy to learn game of bursting bubbles. Players bounce a ball with a paddle or shoot a bullet from the paddle to burst floating bubbles. If a bubble hits the paddle, however, a life is lost. There are also falling bonus squares and acid rain, which must not hit the paddle, with which to contend.Blixx includes 15 levels of increasing difficulty. There are also difficulty settings and 3 practice modules to bring you up to speed in a hurry. A "Hall of Fame" stores the players highest scores. Two bonus levels are also included. Blixx is an easy to learn but challenging game. Users will most likely take several days of playing to complete the 15th level.

The Uncertainty Mandate
Think congressional Republicans can reduce economic uncertainty? Don't be so sure.
Read Slate's complete coverage of the 2010 midterm elections.
It seems like the only thing Americans are certain about these days is uncertainty.
Most immediately, of course, people wonder what the 112th Congress will do and how President Obama will respond. But the uncertainty predates the election and undoubtedly affected its results. Bond markets have no idea whether the new $500 billion-or-so round of quantitative easing, expected to be announced today, will help to jumpstart the U.S. economy now or just stoke inflation later. Housing experts fret that the current foreclosure-fraud crisis could lead to a cataclysmic second nationwide decline in real-estate values. Economists worry about the October unemployment rate, due to be released on Friday. And consumers are unclear about whether the divided Congress will be able to come to a compromise on the Bush tax cuts, or whether virtually every American household will see the government eat more of their paycheck in a mere 58 days.
Republicans cite uncertainty as a central problem keeping businesses from hiring, and holding the country back, and promise to fix it. Indeed, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, the next Speaker of the House, has placed the market's hesitancy at the center of his economic platform. He argues that uncertainty stems from the United States' crushing debt load and the government's imposition of new regulations on businesses. And he vows to stop "Washington Democrats' out-of-control spending spree and job-killing policies" and to slash deficits to "help end the uncertainty," and thereby to help the economy.
But will Republicans—or would any Congress—be able to reduce uncertainty? There, the answer is probably no.
Republicans can simplify taxes and halt any new rules-writing, reducing regulatory uncertainty, and there is evidence that the markets will like it, for some time at least. But the nation's uncertainty contains multitudes and extends far beyond taxes and rules, say economists. It is not specific to election outcomes or bond sales or even what is happening in Washington. It is a general insecurity related to the pace of the recovery and continued economic distress.
Peter Diamond, a pending appointee to the Federal Reserve Board, clarified the point last week, explaining "uncertainty" as a pervasive anxiety about the direction of the economy rather than a specific concern about, for instance, the outcome of the tax compromise. "What's critical is not right now the functioning of the labor market, but the limits on the demand for labor coming from the great caution on the side of both consumers and firms because of the great uncertainty of what's going to happen next," he told NPR.
The point is not necessarily political. Mohamed El-Erian, the bond guru and chief executive officer of PIMCO, argues much the same. Many "companies and households explain the divergence between their will and their wallet by pointing to regulatory and tax uncertainty, the absence of a clear macroeconomic vision, and the notion that the Obama administration is 'anti-business,' " El-Erian wrote in a post-election analysis in the Washington Post. But ultimately, he says, the big uncertainty is about supply and demand. For "too many segments of our society, the ability to spend and hire is constrained not by questions of willingness but, rather, by stubbornly high unemployment, annihilative debts and, in some cases, concerns about losing one's home."
There are data to support these views. Consider, for instance, the surveys of the National Federation for Independent Business, a small-business lobbying group that generally leans right. The NFIB conducts exhaustive monthly polls of business owners. And for months, while small businesses have cited government intrusion into their affairs as a problem, they have overwhelmingly ranked poor sales as the primary worry.
Big businesses have different, but related, concerns. They have already shed enough employees to return to profitability. But they now need to see demand recover in order to start investing and expanding again. A report released last week by Moody's Investor Services shows that nonfinancial businesses are hoarding nearly $1 trillion in cash, due to worries about the direction of the economy and a lack of safe and worthy investments. The companies' balance sheets are in "good shape," the analysts note. But they are not planning to actually spend their billions anytime soon, at least not on anything except stock buy-backs and mergers.
"Companies are unlikely to spend their cash on expansion and hiring until there is greater certainty about the direction of the U.S. economy," the report says. "In the meantime, it provides a buffer against further weakness."
There is little evidence that Republicans, like Democrats, can do much at this point to ease uncertainty about the direction of the economy. Things are getting better, even if the pace is slow and tentative. A few months of bolstered job growth, above-trend business confidence, and higher-than-expected consumer spending reports would certainly help. But for now, be sure that uncertainty is here to stay—regardless of who controls Congress or the White House.

Deploy an app to the cloud in your lunch hour
and still have time to eat
IBM SmartCloud Application Services is IBM's platform as a service (PaaS) that powers fast development and deployment of applications to the cloud with a suite of cloud-based development tools, workload patterns, middleware and databases. IBM PaaS runs on the IBM self-service public cloud, SmartCloud Enterprise.
- Use best-in-class open Java and PHP support
- Enjoy peace of mind with enterprise-class security
- Reduce costs with pay-for-use metered pricing
Get WebSphere-based applications to the cloud fast
with IBM SmartCloud Application Workload Service
IBM SmartCloud Application Workload Service (SCAWS) eliminates the tedium of managing middleware and infrastructure, enabling IT to more easily, quickly and repeatedly deploy WebSphere-based applications to IBM's public cloud, SmartCloud Enterprise.
Accelerate and simplify getting to cloud with patterns
Core to IBM PaaS technology and built on years of IBM expertise, patterns are templates consisting of software and virtual machine resources. Patterns radically streamline the set-up and management of hardware and software resources, enabling IT teams to quickly deploy complex application environments to the cloud with validated, high-quality and consistent results.
Scale apps with policy-based automated scaling
Patterns have policies to provide powerful automation, including a routing policy for load balancing, a log policy, a JVM policy, and a scaling policy for automated rule-based scaling. By setting the scaling policy, a deployed pattern can dynamically scale depending on rules (for example, based on request response time).
Capture your own expertise with customised patterns
SCAWS enables you to develop customised patterns to meet your business application needs, converting your own expertise into reusable templates. Once designed, your patterns are available in SCAWS (or PureSystems) to automate a wide range of IT tasks.
Move apps between private, public and hybrid
SCAWS is based on IBM Workload Deployer (IWD), the same deployment engine used by IBM PureApplication System. By using SCAWS, you can easily port your workload patterns to another environment managed by either IBM Workload Deployer or the IBM PureApplication System. (US)
Delivery becomes a team sport
with IBM SmartCloud Application Collaborative Lifecycle Managment Service
IBM SmartCloud Application Collaborative Lifecycle Management Service (CLMS) is a set of seamlessly integrated tools that provide a real-time cloud-based collaborative environment for accelerated application development and delivery. Based on proven IBM Collaborative Lifecycle Management, our pay-as-you-go service coordinates activities across business and system requirements, design, development, build, test and delivery—improving productivity and time to delivery.
In-context collaboration
Collaborate on designs, requirements, plans, code and tasks to make decisions from a single source of truth.
Real-time planning
No more garbage in, garbage out. Plans linked to real work…and everyone knows everything, 24/7.
Lifecycle traceability
Gain insights that you didn't have before and make better decisions to improve delivery predictability.
The IBM SmartCloud partner ecosystem
IBM is committed to building and supporting a powerful ecosystem of innovative cloud partners that work with IBM SmartCloud Application Services (PaaS) in two distinct ways. First, our partners leverage IBM SmartCloud Application Services to develop solutions for their end customers and deliver them in a software-as-a-service model. Second, the SmartCloud ecosystem significantly extends the breadth and depth of our application development capabilities. For example:
PHP from ZEND
IBM's partnership with Zend provides
an enterprise-grade PHP application pattern for IBM PaaS that streamlines application deployment, simplifies production troubleshooting, and enables true DevOps agility.PaaS platforms

Unmatched platform flexibility, control and choice
With IBM's broad and integrated family of cloud technologies, you can get a cloud application platform that's built to meet your unique requirements. Develop and test application patterns on SmartCloud Application Services, and then deploy applications with:
IBM PureApplication System
Use IBM PaaS in your own private cloud with our expert integrated system for private cloud application management and deployment.
IBM Workload Deployer
A hardware appliance that provides IBM middleware virtual images and patterns to easily create, deploy and manage application environments in a private cloud.
IBM SmartCloud Enterprise
IBM SmartCloud Application Services PaaS runs on, and automatically deploys virtual resources to, IBM SmartCloud Enterprise, IBM's public IaaS.
All three solutions share common core IBM PaaS technology and use IBM's pre-configured patterns of middleware and virtual resources to make the deployment of applications fast and repeatable.

I found this one SO hard... anyone care to solve and tell us how you did it?
I haven't been stuck like this in a long time
Once you take it as far as you can go, ask for a hint. The hint will explain "how" it deduces another square that you haven't marked. If that doesn't get you unstuck, then ask for another hint. Repeat until done and the solve will have been shown to you.
I dunno, wasn't that hard?
Just figured out the basics first, you know, "Mabel isn't Rockford" and "Onawa isn't $15.7"
Then marked off the before/afters.
Then, for example no.4 "Of the hurricane that hit in 1948 and the storm that caused $18.5 million in damage, one hit land at Granger and the other was Hurricane Kristy." I went "If 1948 was Granger, it wouldn't be Kristy (and whichever other hurricanes Granger was not)." and "If 1948 was Kristy, it wouldn't be Granger (and whichever other places Kristy was not)."
Repeat over and over, forwards/backwards ("If Kristy was 1948, it wouldn't be $18.5 etc."), adjusting the before/after times as necessary.
And then done?

I had to do many iterations through clues 4, 7, 9, 11, and 12 to arrive at a point where everything fell into place.
I think the reason this puzzle is difficult is because so many passes through the of/either (XOR) type of clue are needed.
When I solved this puzzle, the first pass didn't lead to any positives, and there was a lot of white space.
Several passes through the of/either clues mentioned above, led to a resolution for clues 11 and 12. Onawa = 12.5 and Audrey = 1952.
After transposing these two positives, there was still a lot of white space.
Several iterations through clues 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 finally resulted in Granger could not be 16.9. Before this exclusion, 16.9 could only be Granger and Zamora. Excluding Granger meant that 16.9 = Zamora.
Then clue 9 gave 1964 = Mabel.
From there, everything fell into place. If I did this right, the solution is:
1944 - Wilma - 12.5 - Onawa
1948 - Kristy - 15.7 - Velma
1952 - Audrey - 13.1 - Tomales
1956 - Pam - 16.9 - Zamora
1960 - Velma - 17.4 - Rockford
1964 - Mabel - 18.5 - Granger
The new hint system is awesome. It has a special message for those rare occasions when it can't come up with the words to explain the next step. There is at least one puzzle in the 4x7 library that will delight you with that message if you ask for a hint at the right time.

stop teasing us zenobia43
~Go and tell us what the hint says? put us (especially me) out of my/our misery please.
I'm surprised Zenobia uses the hint button. I've accidentally hit the hint button reaching for the undo button and have gotten a seconds penalty that seemed bigger than some of Zenobia's total scores.
The hint goes something like this:
"Once in a blue moon, the hint system ... and usually requires combining three clues to get the next logical step in the solution."
I only remember the "Once in a blue moon" part. When I got that hint, I got the impression that I had arrived at the most cherished part of the puzzle treasure vault.
I had stumbled across a real stumper, gotten stuck at the right place, hit the hint button at the right time, and I didn't get charged a penalty.
And after all that, I got to spend some more quality time with the puzzle.
I have only seen that hint message once while attempting one of the challenging category 4x7 puzzles. If I get it again, I'll take better notes.

Outside of this site not many have been following Motorola's next flagship superphone, but a report from BGR confirms pretty much everything we have detailed so far. One of their sources from inside Motorola has told them a device codenamed Olympus will feature a 4″ display with a step up in resolution (tip: it's actually 4.1″ but who's counting), it will be powered by NVIDIA (dual-core 1 GHz Tegra 2), and debut on AT&T in Q1 2011.
This Olympus MB860 phone is the device we lovingly nicknamed Terminator and it will be coming to multiple carriers, including AT&T (1st), Verizon (2nd), and possibly more (Sprint + T-Mobile).
We have yet to receive any pictures of the device, but several tipsters have said it looks like a smaller version of the Droid X with the addition of a front-facing camera (see fake blurrycam pic above). Originally I reported it would be the first dual-core phone to ship with Gingerbread (Android 2.3), but test units are currently running Android 2.2 and now that honor might now to go LG.
Look for Motorola to unveil this device at CES in January. There is a small chance it could ship before Christmas with Android 2.2, but hopefully Motorola takes the extra time and updates their software so it ships with the latest version of Android.

SURFSIDE BEACH, S.C. (WPDE) - The Sunday morning surf from Hurricane Irma brought shell seekers to Grand Strand beaches.
Large shells have been brought to the shores of Surfside Beach by the storm and the beach re-nourishment project, which was put on hold until Hurricane Irma passes.
"I was excited when we found this one," said Tanya Ramp, holding up a large conch shell.
"At first we thought it was broken. But then we dug it out. Well, I didn't dig it out. I don't like sand, so I didn't dig it out," she said, laughing.

Hardly anyone's rooting against the residential real estate recovery.
Not longtime owners with years of hard-earned equity tucked under their roofs.
Not the huge public- and private-sector apparatus that's tied to the cyclical fortunes of the home-selling business.
The exception might be renters trying to scrape enough together to take the leap and buy a place of their own. That chasm is getting even wider as real estate values climb and the broader economy regains its footing.
The issue is magnified in Charleston, where it seems everyone wants to live, but where wages run 15 percent below the national average despite gains in recent years.
In short, housing affordability is back on the front burner, or getting close to it.
It isn't a new problem.
A panel of home building executives mentioned concerns about escalating lot prices several times at a well-attended Urban Land Institute South Carolina conference on Kiawah Island last week.
The Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce has been studying the long-term economic risks associated with fast-rising housing costs for more than a decade.
The biggest fear is that future generations of workers will decide to take their talents elsewhere.
"The issue didn't go away," said Mary Graham, senior vice president and a longtime economic researcher with the chamber. "It was just dormant for a while because of the economy. ... Housing affordability is an issue here."
Homes prices rose at fairly sane levels through the 1990s. They picked up a fresh head of steam in the new century until sales faltered in 2006, when the industry's version of "The Perfect Storm" roiled the market for about five years.
The ensuing recession forced many would-be buyers to stand by idly as prices plummeted. And as banks licked their wounds, they didn't exactly make it easy for borrowers who had the wherewithal to jump into the churn.
In a blink, it seems, the tough times of yesteryear are a fading memory.
Property values have snapped back to life. Through August, 8,706 homes changes hands at a median price of $205,417, respective gains of 24 percent and 8 recent, according to the most recent figures from the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors.
And then there are the other bills that come with home ownership. Mortgage interest rates have been edging up. Insurance premiums, utility bills and other "carrying costs" do what they seem to do so effortlessly — rise. Buyers of newly built homes are feeling even more pain, as rising demand for construction drives up labor and material costs.
Paychecks, meanwhile, have been stagnant for most workers.
There's the rub. And it's enough of a worry that the chamber and the Charleston Regional Development Alliance identified housing costs as an issue that needs to be addressed to help "keep positive momentum," according to their 2013 economic "scorecard" released last week.
Their concerns stem from efforts to build up the "knowledge-based" sector of the local economy.
Housing costs can be a deal breaker when it comes to keeping or attracting the higher-skilled workers the region needs now and in the future.
"It's a big issue for young professionals," Graham said, citing the results of a different study the chamber released this year. "They want to live in Charleston because it's an awesome place."
But some of those workers learn they can buy more house for their money in bigger cities like Atlanta or Charlotte, where they can earn a better wage to boot, Graham said.
"If the cost of housing is out of reach, it becomes a big issue for being able to attract and retain that young talent we need," she said.
It's not just a pocketbook problem, she said. Out-of-whack home prices can exacerbate other regional ills, namely traffic congestion and sprawl, because developers typically meet demand for cheaper homes by building farther out, where land is less expensive.
Graham said some progress has been made.
"I think our local governments do understand that the regulations they put in place have a direct impact on housing costs," she said. "They seem to be more sensitive to that."
But it's a tougher task to rein in the competitive private sector and contain capitalistic urges in a rising market, especially after such a long slog.
Finally, the real estate market is roaring back, just like the good old days. Hip, hip, hooray?

Ada Gibson learned to swim at the age of 75. She's proof that it's never too late to get active.
Ada Gibson used to be terrified of the water, but when she reached 75 she was determined to confront her fears and learn to swim.
Aged 92 when interviewed, Ada says swimming has become a passion and has given her a new lease of life.
Every week, her son collects her from home and drops her off at her local swimming pool in Great Harwood near Blackburn, Lancashire.
Ada puts on her swimsuit and cap, gets in the 20-metre pool, and swims about 60 lengths of backstroke in a session, which lasts 30 to 45 minutes. She's proof that it's never too late to get active.
"I really love swimming," says Ada, who has three children, five grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren.
"I used to be petrified of water," she says. "But when I reached 75, I decided I wanted to do things that I'd always been scared of doing."
Her daughter taught her to swim. "She got me in the water and took my hands," says Ada, from Clayton-le-Moors. "That's how I got started."
"I've got my own rhythm," Ada says. "I like to take my time. I take it nice and easy. "My daughter taught me the breast stroke, but I felt more comfortable on my back. Swimming is great. It works every muscle in your body."
She says that as a child she never had the chance to learn, but swimming is now her main form of exercise. She takes part in an annual swim-a-mile fundraising challenge to raise money for the Wright Foundation, a heart and lung charity.
Ada is no fitness fanatic, but says she likes to be active. At home, if she's not doing the housework, she's using her skipping rope or doing a spot of gardening.
Every morning after her bath, Ada performs a few stretches in her bedroom. "I massage my feet and legs," she says. "I stretch up, stand on my toes, and I stretch my neck."
She was a regular at a local dance studio for 14 years until it closed. She practised ballroom dancing, from the foxtrot to the quick step.
"I'm active because I like it," Ada says. "I'm not particularly health obsessed, I just like being active and keeping myself busy."
Not even illness has slowed Ada down. The retired dressmaker developed bowel cancer five years ago, but made a full recovery.
"My consultant said, 'Ada, don't let anyone put you off swimming. It's the best exercise for you.' Well, I took that man's words to heart."
"Swimming keeps me going," she says. "I won't give up swimming until my body tells me it's time to stop."

A simple chocolate dessert to make with few ingredients and it can easily be prepared in advance.
Pure art in every sense. From the amazing architecture of this breathtaking restaurant and hotel at the top of a hill to the presentation and flavour of this dish. What an experience to be savoured.
A nice twist to this chocolate tart with the addition of fruits. The recipe provided by The Horn of Plenty does not state the cocoa percentage chocolate they use although I consider the higher 75%-85%
Chocolate combined with spices is how chocolate was first consumed and it is no wonder when you experience this type of recipe. Head Chef, Peter Gorton gave me his own comments on this dish..
This recipe is for the tart alone, pictured on the plate. Highly recommended for a real chocolate fix. The chef also provided me with his choice of wine to accompany the dish, Elysium Black Muscat, California
'One of the slickest & most taste-tantalising websites I have stepped into - strongly recommended

4790 W. 16th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46222
(800) 822-4639 (317) 492-6700 Mon-Fri, 9a.m.-5p.m. ET
Tom Sneva holds the distinction of being the first man to circulate the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at more than 200 miles per hour. They called him 'The Gas Man,' and his qualifying attempts at IMS in the late 1970s into the '80s were always spellbinding.
Sneva was a school principal in Spokane, Washington when he moved to Indianapolis to make a full-time career out of racing. He gained fame by winning a series of USAC sprint car races in 1973 using a rear-engine machine that was a Huffaker Indy car converted for sprint car use by Carl Gelhausen. USAC promptly banned rear engine cars in 1974.
Sneva qualified for his first Indianapolis 500 in 1974 and his performances throughout that season in a '72 Eagle copy caught the attention of team owner Roger Penske. Driving for Penske in 1975, Sneva survived one of the most spectacular accidents in the history of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. On the 126th lap of the '500,' Sneva's Penske-McLaren touched wheels with a car driven by Eldon Rasmussen; Sneva's burning car flew through the air, captured memorably in a sequence of still photographs.
Even in his earliest years at Indianapolis, Sneva's mastery of the unique four-lap qualification format was evident. He lined up eighth for his initial '500' start in that low-budget Kingfish, started fourth in 1975 and earned his first front row berth in 1976, going on to finish sixth in the rain-shortened race.
In 1977, Penske fielded new Cosworth-powered McLaren M24s, and Sneva came through with the first of his three Indianapolis poles. Despite crashing in practice on the day before Pole Day, he set the one-lap record of 200.535 mph and four-lap mark of 198.884, increasing those numbers to 203.620 and 202.156 mph a year later while driving a new Penske PC-6 chassis. Sneva finished second at Indianapolis in both 1977 and '78 and went on to win the USAC National Championship both years, yet was dismissed by Penske at the end of the 1978 season.
"Tom drove for us for a number of years, won the championship, and was a tremendous qualifier," observed Roger Penske. "Every time I saw him come off of Turn 4 I thought he would never get the thing turned. He drove it right on the edge, and I was really concerned when I saw the accident off of Turn 2 in 1975, when the engine came apart. That was a tragic situation, but fortunately he walked away.
"Tom was good for the team, but he and I had some different ideas on how we wanted to go," Penske added. "He was one of the key drivers that brought us to the next step. He was a smart guy, and I think he understood our methodology, which was important."
Sneva's cerebral approach to fine-tuning the handling of his car was perfect for Indianapolis qualifying, but it didn't always pay dividends in the race. He pedaled a three-year old McLaren to the middle of the front row in 1979 but crashed late in the contest.
In 1980, Sneva crashed his qualified Phoenix chassis in practice and again resorted to the trusty McLaren, which he dubbed "Old Hound." Despite starting in 33rd place, Sneva drove through the field to finish second, and he remains the only driver in Indianapolis history to lead the race after starting last.
Sneva's month of May 1981 was mostly forgettable; he was the fastest qualifier, but started 20th because he did not set his time on Pole Day. A broken clutch eliminated him just before half distance. He bounced back in 1982 to qualify seventh and finish fourth.
His Indianapolis triumph finally happened in 1983 as 'The Gas Man' qualified fourth and took the lead for the first time on Lap 36. The last three-quarters of the race was essentially a two-man duel between Sneva and Al Unser and both men led six times.
On a Lap 177 restart, Unser led, and his son Al Unser Jr., making his first Indianapolis start, passed Sneva despite being several laps down. For the next fifteen laps, rookie Unser Jr. drove very defensively and was accused of blocking as he tried to keep Sneva at bay to allow his father to pull away. Although Sneva's car was must faster than Unser Jr.'s, Tom bided his time and didn't work past Unser Jr. until Lap 191. He passed Al Sr. on the same lap and drove away to win by 11.174 seconds.
"I've got to say 1983 wasn't really the year I expected to finally get the win," Sneva told RACER magazine. "We had a lot of trouble throughout the month, couldn't get a motor to last over 100 miles, and I was fighting with George Bignotti, the chief mechanic. The car was quick but we just weren't getting any reliability in the engine department. I actually booked a pretty early tee time, because I didn't think the car was going to last.
"But sure enough, when you think it isn't going to happen, we finally got one of those motors to run all day and we won the race." Sneva ran the Indianapolis 500 eight more times, but never again finished the race after his 1983 triumph. His final Indy pole came in 1984, when he set one-lap (210.689 mph) and four-lap 210.029 mph) records. He led six times for 31 laps and was set for a shootout with Rick Mears for the victory, only to suffer a broken CV joint with 30 laps to go.
Sneva retired from driving following the 1992 season. His career Indy car stats include 14 poles, 13 race wins and 1,695 laps led. He served as a color commentator for ABC's coverage of the Indy Racing League in the late '90s, but spends most of his time playing golf at his own course, the 500 Club in Phoenix.
"It seemed like Indianapolis fitted my driving style pretty good," Sneva said. "I never went to Indianapolis thinking I couldn't win. I wasn't just turning up for the show. I always thought we had a shot, and although some years our equipment wasn't what we needed, we won the race in 1983 when we weren't optimistic about the equipment we had.
"Indy is a strange bird, and you never know what to expect. So you just go as hard as you can for as long as you can."

The MotoGP paddock has reconvened in Valencia for its final round of the 2011 season, and percolating at the top of everyone's mind here is the passing of Marco Simoncelli. While the Italian's death has been talked about non-stop the past week or so, with the MotoGP community together again for the first time since SuperSic's passing, the emotions here are still very raw (A&R is coming to you live from Valencia, Spain this race weekend).
With the riders unanimous on the importance of racing, and everyone honoring Simoncelli in his or her own way, the final official tribute to Marco will come on Sunday at 10:15am local time. In a more fitting manner to honor Marco Simoncelli, over the course of MotoGP's tribute there will be a minute of noise, in lieu of the usual minute of silence. Suggested by Marco's father, Paolo Simoncelli, the celebration of SuperSic's career will be a boisterous affair, with presumably all the bikes in the paddock revving their motors to honor the Italian racer.

Editor's Comment: Although this study concluded that treatment interventions for ME/CFS should include significant others, the authors did not specify how the beliefs of partners could be "usefully included" in treatment. Only two couples were interviewed. There was no control group (e.g. couples coping with other illnesses).
Couples' experiences of interacting with outside others in chronic fatigue syndrome: a qualitative study
By Joanna Brooks et al.
Objectives: Social isolation and stigma are frequently reported by patients with chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis and relationships in the home environment with those close to the patients (their 'significant others') may thus be particularly important. Rather little attention has yet been paid to the beliefs and experiences of 'significant others' themselves in this context. This study sought to explore in-depth the beliefs and experiences of both patients and 'significant others' in relation to chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis.
Methods: In-depth interviews using a semi-structured interview schedule designed around the core constructs of the Common-Sense Model of self-regulation were conducted with two patients with chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis and their spouses. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyse interview data.
Results: Experiences of social interactions in relation to chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis with others outside of the relationship dyad emerged as a key issue for all participants when reflecting on their experiences of living with the condition. These concerns are presented under two themes: interactions with healthcare professionals and interactions with the social world.
Conclusions: It is evident that significant others play an important role in the lived experience of chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis. For both patients and significant others, the wider social world and interactions with outside others may be important influences on dyadic coping in chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis Both future research and treatment interventions could usefully include a 'significant other' perspective.

Price College of Business at the University of Oklahoma and held the Fred E. Brown chair. He previously served as associate dean of graduate studies, assistant dean of undergraduate studies and chair of the marketing department at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He has worked in a variety of research, teaching, and administration positions at Arizona State University, the University of Colorado and California State University, Sacramento. Prior to his academic career, Evans worked as a consultant and marketing representative at several northern California companies.
Born in Pittsburg, Penn., Evans grew up in Chicago where he attended public schools through the fifth grade, when the family moved to California. He was the first in his immediate family to earn a college degree. Evans played basketball, golf, and football at different points in high school and college and was a daily runner as part of an active lifestyle.
Ken and his wife, Nancy, met while freshmen at University of California, Davis, and married after graduation. A career elementary school teacher, Nancy retired when the couple moved to Norman, Okla. The couple has two adult sons.
Evans will present Plummer Awards, recognizing the top academic graduates.
