Fourth Biennial Winter Institute for Black Studies announcedUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Asst Prof, Ethnic Studies
The theme of the 2011 Winter Institute, "When Then Is Now: A Meditation on Social Justice, Activism and Political Change," will be explored through a special screening of the highly acclaimed documentary film, Mountains that Take Wing: Angela Davis and Yuri Kochiyama, discussions with the film's co-directors, CA Griffith and HLT Quan, and UH scholars and community members.
Thursday, February 10 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the UH Manoa Art Auditorium
The Winter Institute for Black Studies will feature a screening of Mountains that Take Wing: Angela Davis and Yuri Kochiyama and will include a pre-screening reception from 5 p.m.- 6 p.m. and a post-screening discussion panel featuring the documentary filmmakers, who include C.A. Griffith and H.L.T. Quan, with co-discussants, Marsha Joyner (President Emeritus, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Coalition - Hawai`i), Njoroge Njoroge (UH Manoa, Dept. of History), Jon Okamura (UH Manoa, Dept. of Ethnic Studies) and Elisa Joy White (UH Manoa, Dept. of Ethnic Studies).
On Friday February 11th from 1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. at the UH Manoa Art Auditorium
The Winter Institute for Black Studies presents a workshop, "Documentary Filmmaking, Politics and Social Justice," featuring a dialogue with CA Griffith and HLT Quan, the filmmakers of Mountains that Take Wing: Angela Davis and Yuri Kochiyama. The workshop will address the process and role of documentary film and filmmaking when considering political and social change and related struggles experienced by ethnic and socio-economic class communities in Hawaii and beyond.
The workshop and dialogue will be facilitated by Wimal Dissanayake (UH Manoa, International Cultural Studies Program) and Elisa Joy White (UH Manoa, Dept. of Ethnic Studies).
The film covers a 10-year span of conversations between Davis and Kochiyama, icons of great 20th century social movements who continue to forge change in the twenty-first century. They both exemplify the intertwined African American and Japanese American liberation and civil rights struggles, as well as embody the fight for justice and human rights across ethnic, social, gender, regional and national lines.
C.A. Griffith is an Associate Professor of Film and Theater at Arizona State University (ASU) and H.L.T. Quan is an Assistant Professor of Justice and Social Inquiry at ASU.
The Winter Institute for Black Studies is free and open to the public.
The Fourth Biennial Winter Institute for Black Studies is sponsored by the University of Hawaii, UH Manoa Department of Ethnic Studies, the UH Diversity and Equity Initiative and the African American Diversity Cultural Center of Hawaii.

WebOS 2.0 running on the Palm Pre Plus
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Cell Phones, Handhelds, Software, Videos
While existing Palm Pre users are still eagerly checking the Updates app for the webOS 2.0 overhaul, HP is taking their sweet time delivering the goods. Progress is being made apparently (read: bait is being dangled in front of Pre users), as a new video shows the Palm Pre Plus running webOS 2.0. Check it out above.

For an episode where a lot was going on, nothing really happened until the last few minutes. "A Good Man Goes to War," the mid-series finale of Doctor Who, was full of action and cool new characters, but there wasn't, strictly speaking, a "plot." Yet this isn't necessarily a bad thing. The whole episode was leading to the big reveal at the end, indeed a game-changer like Moffat had been saying all along, which worked well, I think. Truth be told, this episode did not need to be about a grand plot or a timey-wimey event. This episode was all about characters and how characters relate to and perceive the Doctor, and how he perceives himself. To do an episode like that as the midseason finale was a bold choice, especially for Steven Moffat, whose whole bag has been complex plots and stuff. And still, questions ARE answered in a satisfactory way.
At the beginning of the episode, we know Amy and child, called Melody, are being held by Eye Patch Lady, who is leading the Clerics, militarized Anglicans whom we last saw in "Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone." The Eye Patch Lady's name is "Madame Kovarian," but I'm going to keep calling her Eye Patch Lady. There's a moment in the prologue, while Amy is telling Melody they'll all be okay because her father is coming to save them, that we think yet again she's talking about the Doctor, but, of course, it's Rory. Rory, The Last Centurion. Moffat loves creating heroes, real proper superheroes, and I think it's really great that Rory went from a sad sack, a pushover, to literally being awesome enough to stand up to a fleet of Cybermen. Also, the fact that Cybermen are in this episode simply as a way for Rory to look badass is pretty cool. I like Rory.
The Clerics have a whole army waiting for the Doctor, and they've even brought in the Headless Monks, who are basically Jedi with no heads. They don't make sense. Are we supposed to believe that their faith is so strong they can exist without heads? If that's the case, how do their hoods stay up? Don't say "the Force," because that's your answer for everything. We're also introduced to Lorna Bucket, a cleric who has met the Doctor before when she was a child. She doesn't want the Doctor to be harmed, but this is the only way she can think of to see him again. Kind of a dumb plan if you ask me, but it works. Lorna is another in a long line of companions who never were.
While they wait impatiently, the Doctor is compiling his own army, comprised of people who owe him a debt. I feel like the Doctor wouldn't collect debts because he wouldn't keep track of them. "Favors for favors" doesn't seem to be his bag, but it's really just a means of getting more cool characters together. How else would we get a Silurian samurai from the 1880s and her human life partner and a helpful Sontaran in the same place at the same time? He also recruits Dorium Maldovar, the big, bald, blue guy whom River barters with briefly in "The Pandorica Opens." He definitely does not want to go fight, but he does, evidently because he also owes the Doctor something.
And what about River? Rory goes to collect her, on her birthday *wink wink*, right after the Doctor had taken her to the early 1800s and had Stevie Wonder sing to her. River is visibly stunned to see Rory and tells him she can't go with him, because this is the day the Doctor finds out who she is. More on that later. Spoilers.
I like and have always liked the idea of teams of good guys and moreover the idea of recruiting them. This episode really felt like Doctor Who's answer to The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (the book, of course, not the abomination of a film they made). The Doctor himself doesn't actually appear for 19 minutes, and he does with a boom. The Eleventh Doctor has an interesting way of dealing with large threats which is to act like he doesn't give a shit. He's supremely confident and doesn't need to bluster or shout (until later). Maybe slightly too confident? He almost immediately makes the Clerics look like fools, despite their persistent assurances that they are not, and his "army" takes control of Demons Run in 3min 42sec.
While I can totally buy and enjoy the fact that the Doctor can gather a Silurian samurai and a Sontaran nurse, I have a hard time believing he'd be able to mobilize an entire legion of Silurian warriors and Judoon officers just like that. It's a cool visual, but the logistics of it are a bit off. I liked the small throwback to "The Curse of the Black Spot" with the quick shot of Captain Avery and Toby implying that his ship of space pirates has taken control of Eye Patch Lady's ship. I did NOT appreciate the return of the Spitfires in space from "Victory of the Daleks." I can maybe, MAYBE, understand Spitfires in space in the context of that episode because they're pretty close to Earth, but here they're light years away and hundreds of years in the future. Did the Doctor fit both of those Spitfires in the TARDIS? And where do they go once they've blown up the communications array? Anyway, hairs split.
One of my favorite scenes happens when the Doctor tells Col. Manton to leave, in what has come to be known as "The Col. Runaway Speech." Matt Smith is truly wonderful in this moment and it displays this Doctor's short temper quite nicely. I am, however, growing slightly tired of him always saying "That's new," after he experiences some emotion. He's not Data, he can emote once in a while. It worked in "The Doctor's Wife" because he truly didn't know what to do which he surely never felt before, but he's angry ALL THE TIME, why would he be surprised at being angry?
It's been hinted at a lot lately that the Doctor, above and beyond being a time-traveling do-gooder, is the most feared thing in the universe. Last year's "The Pandorica Opens" illustrated this beautifully, with a combined group of all of the Doctor's worst foes banding together to stop him. Now, it seems, it goes beyond his stable of monsters. The Clerics and Eye Patch Lady seemingly have no reason to fear the Doctor other than that he is something to be feared. There's a moment when Lorna mentions that to her people, the word "Doctor" means "Great Warrior" because of their brief time with him. He has to come to grips with the fact that, while he always tries to do good from his and our point of view, he's universally known as a threat. It's like Richard Matheson's original novel I Am Legend, where (SPOILERS) at the end the lead character is captured by the vampire people and accepts execution because, to them, HE is the monster. The Doctor is being forced to accept the same thing. To the Daleks, Cybermen, and, I guess, the Clerics, he is the monster. I think he'll start to make amends for this soon.
Everything seems fine very quickly and Amy and Rory are reunited with their daughter Melody Pond. There's a very funny exchange with the Doctor where we learn that he speaks baby (of course he does), and he gives them his cot from when he was a baby. They won! The Doctor begins to learn what they'd been doing to Melody. Apparently, because Melody was conceived on the TARDIS, she was born with some sort of strange time-energy in her DNA, which it seems the Eye Patch Lady has been enhancing for quite some time. So the child is partially Time Lord, which makes sense in context, but we never knew it could happen. Of course, there's no precedent for it. To our knowledge, no child has ever been conceived on the TARDIS. It lends to the theory that not all Gallifreyans are Time Lords. It's an enhancement they've done to themselves through "billions of years" being exposed to the Time Vortex and the Untempered Schism. I think that stuff is super fascinating and I'm excited to see where Moffat goes with it.
But, of course, Eye Patch Lady has another trick up her sleeve, and, once she is long gone, the Headless Monks attack the small remaining heroes. EPL tells the Doctor that they plan to use Melody as a weapon against the Doctor. She also informs the Doctor that he's been fooled a second time, leading to the horrible realization that the baby Amy has been cradling is actually a Flesh duplicate. It's one of the most heartbreaking reveals the show has ever created and Amy is understandably despondent afterwards. The Monks are eventually defeated, but Dorium, Lorna, and Sontaran nurse Strax are killed in the process. As Strax dies, he tells Rory that while he looked like a warrior, he was just a nurse, something that hits Rory like a punch in the sternum.
And then River arrives. She's finally here to tell the Doctor, and us, who she is. The answer lies in the cot. For a moment we, or at least I, thought she was going to say she was the Doctor's mother, but that would have been gross and ridiculous. The Doctor realizes the truth and sort of cheerfully heads to the TARDIS. Amy is still totally unaware and River calmly explains it by showing the whatever-that-thing-is that Lorna had sewn. It's Melody's name in the language of her people. They don't know the word for Pond, because the only water in the forest is the River. YES! River Song is actually Melody Pond. She is Amy and Rory's daughter!
I think that was a wonderful reveal, personally. I sort of saw it coming, but at this point it's nice not to have to speculate. Why would she be some kind of strange third-party character when the most poignant and pertinent thing would be that she is the child of the Ponds (Williamses)? So the little girl we saw in the space suit is likely River Song and she can regenerate. But, there are a few questions that need answering and things that don't quite add up yet.
1) If the little girl we saw in the suit and regenerating is River, why wouldn't River have remembered it while she was investigating it? Unless she's just "spoilers"-ing again.
2) I don't think River is the one in the space suit that kills the Doctor in "The Impossible Astronaut," BECAUSE grown-up River looks genuinely shocked and sad when the Doctor dies. However, this could just be her lying again, or it could be the Silence making her forget. I just think it's someone else entirely we haven't met yet.
3) The scene in Stormcage at the beginning of this episode where River looks really surprised and wistful about seeing Rory. This is what I think: River, at that point in her life, hadn't seen Rory in a very long time and I believe that's because Rory is the "Good Man" whom River kills. She says she kills "The best man she's ever known," and that HAS to be her dad, the Last Friggin' Centurion. The whole series has been making us think someone's talking about the Doctor but are actually talking about Rory. It only stands to reason that this is just the last instance of it. While I don't want to see Rory get killed, it will probably be in some heroic fashion and it will inform River's whole life and relationship with the Doctor and Amy.
4) Who blew up the TARDIS? I know this is an old question, but the TARDIS exploded in "The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang," and we still don't know who caused it or why. What does it have to do with the Silence falling?
Now we have a good few months to wait and watch Torchwood while we mull over these and other important questions. Boy, for an episode I claimed didn't have much plot, there was a whole lot to talk about.
Later this week, I'm going to be featured on an episode of the excellent podcast, Two-Minute Time Lord, with two other fantastic bloggers/critics talking about Series 6. Follow me on TWITTER and I'll link you once it plops.
Until next time, Whovians!

How to redirect or move a context
The org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.MovedContextHandler may be used to relocate or redirect a context that has changed context path and/or virtual hosts.
You can configure it to permanently redirect the old url to the new url, in which case Jetty sends a Http Status code of 301 to the browser with the new url. Alternatively, you can make it non-permanent, in which case Jetty sends a 302 Http Status code along with the new url.
In addition, like any other context, you can configure a list of virtual hosts, meaning that this context will only respond to requests with to one of the listed host names.
Suppose we had a context that was deployed at /foo, but that now we would like to deploy at the root context / instead. First we would reconfigure and redeploy our context on Jetty, but then we'd like a way for all the browsers who have bookmarked /foo to be told to go to the new path.

Is Windows giving you pause? Ready to make the leap to the Mac instead? There has never been a better time to switch from Windows to Mac, and this incomparable guide will help you make a smooth transition. New York Times columnist and Missing Manuals creator David Pogue gets you past three challenges: transferring your stuff, assembling Mac programs so you can do what you did with Windows, and learning your way around Mac OS X. Why is this such a good time to switch? Upgrading from one version of Windows to another used to be simple. But now there's Windows Vista, a veritable resource hog that forces you to relearn everything. Learning a Mac is not a piece of cake, but once you do, the rewards are oh-so-much better. No viruses, worms or spyware. No questionable firewalls, inefficient permissions, or other strange features. Just a beautiful machine with a thoroughly reliable system. And if you're still using Windows XP, we've got you covered, too. If you're ready to take on Mac OS X Leopard, the latest edition of this bestselling guide tells you everything you need to know: Transferring your stuff -- Moving photos, MP3s, and Microsoft Office documents is the easy part. This book gets you through the tricky things: extracting your email, address book, calendar, Web bookmarks, buddy list, desktop pictures, and MP3 files. Re-creating your software suite -- Big-name programs (Word, Photoshop, Firefox, Dreamweaver, and so on) are available in both Mac and Windows versions, but hundreds of other programs are available only for Windows. This guide identifies the Mac equivalents and explains how to move your data to them. Learning Leopard -- Once you've moved into the Mac, a final task awaits: Learning your way around. Fortunately, you're in good hands with the author of Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, the #1 bestselling guide to the Macintosh. Moving from Windows to a Mac successfully and painlessly is the one thing Apple does not deliver. Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition is your ticket to a new computing experience.The world of palmtop computers falls into two broad camps: Palm compatibles ( from Palm, Sony, Kyocera, and others) and Pocket PC (from Dell, HP, ViewSonic, and others).

Sirius XM Radio (NYSE: SIRI) has 20.1 million subscribers and is the only satellite provider in the United States.[1] The high costs associated with satellite radio programming and subscriber acquisition cost (the price of recruiting new subscribers) are the real culprits of Sirius XM's negative margins.
Sirius XM is dependent on the automotive market because some auto makers include satellite radio units in their cars, which adds to Sirius XM subscription revenues. SIRI has partnerships with notable car companies such as Ford, GM, and Toyota. The company's heavy ties to the automotive market gives it big exposure to the health and cyclicality of the automobile industry.[2]
Sirius XM's major competition comes not from other satellite radio providers but from other producers of mobile entertainment devices: MP3 players, the iPod and iPhone, internet radio stations, and traditional AM/FM radio are all challengers to satellite radio. Sirius XM relies partially on major celebrity endorsements (Howard Stern for $500M, Oprah, Martha Stewart)[3] and also on sports broadcasting, including MLB and the NFL to distinguish itself from many of its competitors.
Sirius and XM merged in July 2008 to form the only satellite radio provider in the United States. The new company offers about 300 channels and has deals with Howard Stern, Oprah, Martha Stewart, the MLB, the NFL, among other major partners. Sirius XM radios are distributed by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as well as retail channels. Sirius's primary source of revenue is subscription fees;[1] therefore the company focuses on constantly increasing the number of subscribers as well as lowering the churn rate (turnover rate). Lowering the churn rate is significant because there is cost associated with acquiring subscribers (the cost of advertising, for example), thus, if a person subscribes but quickly unsubscribes, SIRI loses revenues.
Sirius generates 94% of its revenue through subscriptions, mostly through deals with automobile manufacturers which install Sirius radios pre-sold in cars.[1] Approximately 53% of Sirius's subscribers were from OEM automobile sales.[1] Sirius has contracts with many major automobile manufacturers to include Sirius radios either as a standard feature or option, some including limited or lifetime subscriptions. The company shares a portion of subscription revenue with the automobile companies.
Other Partners:[1]
Trucks: Freightliner, Sterling, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Volvo and International offer SIRIUS radios as a factory-installed option on the trucks they manufacture.
Boats: Various recreational boat builders, including Sea Ray, Four Winns, Chaparral, Larson, Glastron, Ranger and Formula, offer SIRIUS radios and a prepaid subscription to their service as a standard or optional feature on their boats.
Recreational Vehicles: Several leading manufacturers of recreational vehicles, including Fleetwood, Monaco, Winnebago, Coachmen, Tiffin and Alfa Leisure, offer SIRIUS radios as a factory-installed option.
Since its inception, Sirius and XM have operated with significant losses.[5][6] SAC is mostly composed of subsidies and commissions paid to its manufacturers, distributors, and partners in the automobile manufacturing industry for the sale and installation of Sirius radios. SAC also includes other costs such as those related to product warranty, but does not include other costs such as pure production costs or marketing expenses.[7]
Lowering SAC must be done in conjunction with maintaining a customer retention rate high enough to move the company to positive operating margins. When customers deactivate early, Sirius loses money. Sirius calculates churn by taking the number of deactivated subscribers divided by the average quarterly subscribers. This gives Sirius a average monthly churn calculation.
Sirius XM had to agree to certain conditions so the merger would be approved. The most notable conditions include:[8]
The cap on prices presents the largest potential danger as Sirius XM will lose pricing flexibility and limit its ability to respond to market conditions.
A crucial facet of Sirius's satellite radio service is the programming content with which it provides its subscribers. Sirius has a wide range of audio content - including sports broadcasts, Howard Stern, and Oprah - that attracts consumers to its service. The quality and diversity of its programming is integral to Sirius in its quest to gain new subscribers and keep its current subscribers from ending their service. Content additions such as the NFL and Howard Stern correlated with a significant number of incremental subscriptions.
Other Coverage:
Sirius also has radio talk show host, Howard Stern, one of the most popular media figures in modern history, with his terrestrial radio show being ranked #1 in many major cities throughout the country. They also have an exclusive contract with Martha Stewart, on the Martha Stewart Living Radio, which is dedicated to all things Martha and features shows hosted by Martha herself, Alexis and Jennifer, Dr. Marty Goldstein, Tracie Hotchner, Greg Kleva, Dr. Shawn Messonnier, and Sandy Gluck.[13]On the Oprah &Friends channel, Oprah Winfrey hosts her "Soul Series" program. The channel features highlights from the Oprah Winfrey Show and includes regular guests, Gayle King, Dr. Maya Angelou, and Dr. Robin Smith.[13]
Terrestrial AM/FM radio has had a well established market for its services for many years and offers free broadcast reception paid for by commercial advertising rather than by a subscription fee. Many radio stations offer local programming, such as local news and sports, which Sirius does not offer as effectively. On average every U.S. household has five AM/FM radios, and radio comes as a standard feature in every vehicle manufactured without an additional cost to the consumer.[14]
While most traditional AM/FM radio stations broadcast by analog signals, the radio industry has made significant strides in rolling out advanced digital transmission technology. Digital broadcasting offers higher sound quality than traditional analog signals and has multicast of as many as five stations per frequency. Digital radio broadcast services have been expanding, and an increasing number of radio stations in the U.S. have begun digital broadcasting or are in the process of converting to digital broadcasting. Over 1,500 radio stations in the United States currently broadcast digitally.[15] Digital radio is generally offered to subscribers without a service charge. BMW offers factory-installed HD radio receivers as an option across all of its models, Ford offers HD Radio as a dealer installed option for the Ford, Mercury and Lincoln brands and recently announced the availability of factory installed HD Radio technology as a standard or optional feature on Ford, Mercury and Lincoln vehicles, and retail HD radios are available nationwide at many large retailers. A number of leading radio broadcasters have joined together to form the HD Digital Radio Alliance to accelerate the successful rollout of digital radio.
Sirius faces stiff competition from various digital music devices and their associated services. The Apple iPod ® , a portable digital music player, allows users to convert music on compact discs to digital files and to download and purchase music and video through Apple's iTunes ® Music Store. iPods ® are compatible with many car stereos and home speaker systems. Apple has reached agreement with automobile manufacturers to pre-install equipment in vehicles which allows users to play music from their iPod through the automobile sound system. Many MP3 players can be connected to online music subscription services, such as Real Network's Rhapsody and Napster 2.0. Slacker, a recently launched private company, has introduced a device and music service that continually updates the device based on a user's preferences, serving algorithmically determined playlists that are direct substitutes for radio programming.
Consumers are increasingly turning to Internet radio. Internet radio broadcasts have no geographic limitations and can provide listeners with radio programming from around the world. Improvements from higher bandwidths, faster modems, wider programming selections, and industry consolidation have made Internet radio a more significant competitor for listening in the home and office. Technologies like WiMAX will also make Internet radio more pervasive. In addition to the many free Internet streams offered by radio companies like Clear Channel, CBS Radio or other smaller companies, subscription Internet music services, such as Rhapsody and Pandora, offer unlimited and fully-customizable play lists for a small fixed fee per month. These services may be used for listening at PCs or home media centers.
Several of the largest wireless providers currently offer music to mobile phones. Additionally, many phones now contain FM radios. Sprint Nextel currently offers streaming music from a variety of providers plus a music store for purchase. Verizon Wireless offers the VCast music service that can be played directly on a phone. AT&T offers a variety of streaming content and has also partnered with Apple to offer the iPhone. Several subscription music services, including Rhapsody and Pandora, are offered over mobile phones.

Lightning Reassign Helenius to AugustaSubmitted by timothy on October 16, 2008 - 09:40
According to a report in the Augusta Chronicle, the Tampa Bay Lightning have reassigned goaltending prospect and 2006 1st round pick Riku Helenius from the AHL's Norfolk Admirals to the ECHL's Augusta Lynx. This move was not unexpected as Helenius had been a healthy scratch for both of Norfolk's season opening games last weekend behind goaltenders Karri Ramo and Mike McKenna.
Helenius joins Tampa defensive prospect Kevin Quick who was reassigned last week, and the Lynx expect Helenius' arrival by as early as noon on Thursday. The Lynx open their 2008-09 season at home Friday night against the Mississippi Sea Wolves.
This season might prove to be a challenge for the Lynx with a relatively young and inexperienced roster comprised of nine rookies and seven more 2nd year pros. No player on the Lynx roster qualifies as an ECHL veteran of 250 professional games.

Fadden Returned to LethbridgeSubmitted by chad on October 10, 2008 - 08:38
Norfolk General Manager Mike Butters announced Thursday that forward Mitch Fadden would not be signed and was returned to WHL Lethbridge. Fadden, who had 89 points in 72 games last year for Lethbridge, was thought to be a lock for an NHL contract this summer. Prior to the new ownership taking over in Tampa, then-Lightning general manager Jay Feaster told Bolt Prospects it was his intention to get Fadden signed this summer, though they were not under any deadline to do so.

Bolts Reassign MihalikSubmitted by timothy on October 6, 2008 - 15:25
The St. Pete Times is reporting is reporting that prospect defenseman Vladimir Mihalik has been reassigned to the Norfolk Admirals. Mihalik was a training camp surprise, making the season opening Tampa roster ahead of several other blueliners including Andrew Hutchinson and Matt Smaby. Mihalik received praise from Lightning head coach Barry Melrose in his NHL debuts in Prague.
Mihalik's reassignment comes amid speculation that the Bolts might be interested in claiming Calgary Flames veteran defenseman Rhett Warrener off of waivers or signing free agent defensmen Bryan Berard, as the Lightning traded blueliner Shane O'Brien to Vancouver for Lukas Krajicek earlier today. Lightning defenseman Paul Ranger, listed as a non-roster player prior to the opener, might be ready to return to action as he continues to re-hab his off-season surgically repaired shoulder.

Ramo an Admiral AgainSubmitted by chad on October 6, 2008 - 14:06
As expected, goaltender Karri Ramo has been assigned to AHL Norfolk after returning from Prague where he accompanied the Lightning for the first two games of the regular season. Ramo, who was excellent in the preseason, was penciled in for Norfolk ever since the Bolts signed veteran goalie Olaf Kolzig July 1. Ramo was recalled from Norfolk on December 19 of last year and never returned. He played 22 games for the Lightning last season, going 7-11-3 with a 3.02 GAA and .899 save percentage.

Bochenski, Konopka Clear WaiversSubmitted by timothy on September 29, 2008 - 11:55
Despite some concern of whether forwards Brandon Bochenski and Zenon Konopka would clear waivers, both forwards passed through unclaimed at noon on Monday and have been reassigned to the Norfolk Admirals. Bochenski and Konopka was cut from the Tampa Bay training camp on Thursday night just prior to the team leaving for its European season opener against the New York Rangers next weekend in Prague. Both had to wait until Saturday's beginning of the 2008-09 NHL waiver season. The two are expected to be two-thirds of the Admirals top line to start the 2008-09 season, with head coach Darren Rumble on record as saying that Konopka would serve as the team's captain if not claimed.
Preseason action continues for the 0-2-0-0 Admirals this Friday and Saturday when the Philadelphia Phantoms play back-to-back games at the Scope in Norfolk.

Lightning Make Six More CutsSubmitted by pete on September 24, 2008 - 09:19
Erik Erlendsson is reporting the Lightning have made six more cuts: Ty Wishart, Riku Helenius, Paul Szczechura, Wyatt Smith, and Radek Smolenak.
Dana Tyrell was also returned to Prince George of the WHL.
That leaves Matt Smaby, Vladimir Mihalik, and Andrew Hutchinson battling for the seventh job on the blueline, presuming that Janne Niskala has already wrapped up the sixth spot, as it appears.

I currently have a Galaxy SI and it has a lot of minor annoying problems that my iPhone-using friends don't seem to have. Also, I recently bought a Macbook Air, so that's another reason for me to get the new iPhone. Also, I have some questions for the technologically competent: - Does Siri work in Korea, either in English or Korean? - How much do LTE plans cost? Is there an unlimited data plan like there is for the 3G network? - How well does the map function (including the voice telling you where and when to turn) work in Korea? I do a lot of cycling and a good map function would be most useful.

Quadcore this, Screen size that don't matter all that much. Far more important are the OS experience, and the Apps. Apple has the best for what I want to use a phone for. I think too many people were expecting Apple to release gamechanging products every year. In reality we've seen 4 from Apple in the last 12 years. The Ipod, the PowerPC to Intel switch, the iPhone and the iPad. That's far more than most companies do in any period. A return to the baseline of small improvements is far more likely from Apple now.

Some of the Android phones my friends have customized look about as slick as a teenager's myspace page. Heck, even the slide to unlock thing is starting to bother me.

Busy-busy-busy as a bee
This jumper took me just under four months to make. Seeing as I'm used to chugging one out in a matter of weeks, this seemed like an age. Cycling-to-work really has cut down my knitting time. Also, it was 4ply, on 2.5mms (2mm for the ribbing), so I guess it was always going to take a while.
It's a product of my stash (which itself is best understood as a product of John Lewis sales). I had a bag of not-quite-a-jumper-worth of yellow 4ply tweed, as well as few balls of brown 4ply left over from this top. Put them together and you get a sweater which stripes pleasingly like a bee. Despite the tiny gauge, it was a very simple project - a basic top-down raglan, done seamlessly in the round. As you can see from the third photos in this post, I didn't bother with any jog-less join (I can do a jog-less join, it just seemed like too much effort).
The stripes are perhaps a little too short, and I definitely made the neck too high/ small - makes me feel slightly as if I'm wearing an optical illusion. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. I really like the triangle shapes it makes around the armpits. Plus, small vertical stripes can be surprisingly flattering. Details on ravelry.
It's a Monday, which is always busy for me, but today I've been busier than usual. My MSc students have an essay due (cue: last minute queries about citations, phonecalls asking for extensions...), plus the undergrads have an essay back and I'm running an event this evening which has suddenly become really popular.
But, I've made time for a lunch break when I can make up a pot of tea, switch off work email and write up this post. It's important to take a moment to pause amongst all our business, sit and think about something other than our everyday routine. Today more than ever, perhaps (I mean the Copenhagen conference, if you don't want to bother following the link).
On that ecological note, and considering the bee-like stripes of this jumper, I should probably make some reference to the plight of the honeybee. Bee colonies are collapsing across the world. This is serious. According to this book, bees pollinate 70% of our food. To repeat one of those lines credited to Albert Einstein, if bees disappeared: "No more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man." Scary stuff. If you're interested there's a nice gallery of photos on the subject from the Guardian here and a nice blogpost from BBC's Newsnight here.
Right, busy-busy-busy. I'm off to give a lecture on the cultural legacy of mad cow disease. Then it's the exciting seminar this evening - Mike Hulme, Professor for Climate Change at the University of East Anglia (the place with *that* scandal about the emails...). He's written some provocative pieces in the last week (e.g. this, see also interesting discussion here). Our audience will be a mix of science media people and climate scientists. Should be interesting.

So cute!! The raglan shaping in the stripes does make for some very nice lines, and I don't blame you for having a stash built on John Lewis- whenever I'm in the UK, I'm hopeless in there. I buy yarn with no project in mind, and then scramble to figure out what to do with it. I love the deep ribbing on the hem, it's very flattering!!

Great jumper! It fits you perfectly and I don't listen to anybody who says that stripes are unflattering, I wear them all the time and they make me happy!
I really like bees - I had a very interesting chat about the rapidly disappearing bees with a bee keeper at one of the Slow Food Markets at the Southbank centre. Amongst other things I discovered that there is actually a hive on top of the Royal Festival Hall! It produces very little honey though (just because there aren't many bees), but I thought it was rather fun nonetheless.
Both lecture and seminar sound very interesting - hope it all went well!

The Risks and the Rewards
The Science of Yoga draws on more than a century of painstaking research to present the first impartial evaluation of a practice thousands of years old. It celebrates what's real and shows what's illusory, describes what's uplifting and beneficial and what's flaky and dangerous—and why. Broad unveils a burgeoning global industry that attracts not only curious scientists but true believers and charismatic hustlers. He shatters myths, lays out unexpected benefits, and offers a compelling vision of how the ancient practice can be improved.
