'$250K in a Day Trustee Challenge' Smashes Goal
They did it again. Bucknell supporters met the annual one-day Annual Fund giving challenge — more than five times over.
This year's theme was "$250K in a Day." The Bucknell Board of Trustees pledged $50,000 for every 250 gifts made to the Annual Fund on April 24, up to a total of $250,000 for 1,250 donors.
No problem, said the student callers, who began calling Bucknellians in Australia, Europe, Asia and Africa at 7 a.m. Eastern time. Meanwhile, Bucknell fundraisers and volunteers used social media and their phones to reach out to alumni, parents and friends.
By 1 p.m., they met the goal. But the excitement was just beginning. An anonymous trustee immediately stepped forward and offered an additional $50,000 if the Annual Fund team could reach 2,000 donors.
Bring it, responded the student callers. They worked the phones all afternoon in a party atmosphere, talking up Bucknell and giving away prizes to lucky donors. By 5 p.m., they surpassed 2,000 gifts.
Another trustee sweetened the deal at 5 p.m., offering another $10,000 for 2,100 gifts. Just 30 minutes later, the $10k was in the bag.
At 6:30 p.m., President John Bravman and his wife, Prof. Wendelin Wright, pledged $10,000 if the Annual Fund team reached 2,500 donors. The student callers set their sights on the western U.S., blowing past that goal at 8:30 p.m.
When they finally hung up the phones at midnight, Bucknell had received $1,580,328 in gifts and pledges from 2,968 donors, well more than double the participation goal. Add the $320,000 in challenge money from the trustees, and the Annual Fund raised $1,900,328 to benefit all current students.
Not bad for a day's work.
"This is a tremendous day for Bucknell," said Scott Rosevear, vice president of Development & Alumni Relations. "From the leadership of our trustees, to the generous response of our donors, to our incredible staff, student callers and volunteers — it all underscores our 'WE DO' attitude. It's far more than a campaign theme. It's the Bucknell way. We are so grateful to have such a dedicated community."

Bill Simmons
Bard of the Red Sox.
What is it about world championships that breeds literature? In Boston—home of baseball and football's reigning champs—an army of writers stands ready to wax poetic. The Red Sox have already inspired a half-dozen hard-bound tributes; there's a New England Patriots manifesto on the way from David Halberstam, whose byline usually indicates that something terribly historical has happened. But the bard of the Boston sports scene is Bill Simmons, the ESPN.com columnist who calls himself the "Sports Guy." Simmons is a frat boy's idea of a sportswriter, all slacker sports id. Read his loose, rambling dispatches and you are likely to see a consciousness resembling your own.
Some early signs of Simmons' precociousness: He watched the NBA Finals from his father's lap and, at age 6, he gave himself a Muslim name ("Jabaal Abdul-Simmons"), figuring it was his only chance to play point guard for the Celtics. After a brief tour at the Boston Herald'ssports desk, he left to found a Web site called "Boston Sports Guy." Armed with a browser and basic cable, Simmons sought to become a digital version of his newspaper counterparts, minus the decorum. He mixed baseball analysis with Godfather metaphors; his dispatches went on for thousands of words, long after an editor would have pulled the plug. Boston Sports Guy had a following of about 12,000 readers, and, before long, ESPN.com asked Simmons' to be its resident sage. According to his editors, Simmons' column now draws 500,000 unique visitors per month; his own Red Sox meditation, Now I Can Die in Peace, sits at No. 19 on the New York Times best-seller list.
Simmons' columns are highly partisan and, in the best sense of the word, unprofessional. They scrape up against the ethic of newspaper sports columnists, who love nothing more than talking about their professionalism. Ever since the creation of the "celebrity sportswriter" in the 1910s, the American sports column has become a ritualistic art form—more elegant in the hands of Jim Murray, more vengeful in the claws of Mike Lupica, but essentially similar in its construction. The columnist travels to the big game, watches the action from the press box, and composes his dispatch for the morning paper. In the locker room, he attempts to mingle with the athletes he throttles in print. ("Hey, I've got my job, you've got yours!") Despite the unruly passions all around him, the columnist maintains heroic objectivity. If he roots for anything, he says, it is for hard-luck cases, big comebacks—in other words, "a good story."
Sports fans tend to view this neutrality as highly bogus and slightly implausible. As Simmons writes in an e-mail, "That reality created a void where fans couldn't really identify with many of the visible columnists writing about sports—we had nothing in common with them." Simmons aims to reconnect sportswriting with the fan. His likes to watch a big game on television, then reproduce the experience, down to the griping about the announcers. (The joke is that Simmons has no more credentials than his readers.) Simmons' Red Sox heroes are minor gods, destined for the "pantheon"; Roger Clemens, a Red Sox expat, is "a quitter, a cheater, a liar, and a traitor." Simmons' writing is distinguished not by its Olympian distance from sports but by its almost tender intimacy. A typical dispatch begins: "With rookie Jon Papelbon standing on the mound during a tied Red Sox game Monday night, I called my buddy Hench just to tell him, 'This is the single biggest moment of the season.' "
Along the way Simmons has become sports' moral arbiter. He speaks with the authority of a particularly thoughtful bartender. He inveighs against "sports bigamy"—embracing two rival teams—with no exception even if one marries a fan of a rival team (which, Simmons speculates, is bound to be a loveless marriage anyway). To be admitted to Simmons' universe, you must have a stunningly high level of sports literacy. It is not enough to be familiar with the current players. It is imperative to know—and these are actual examples from recent columns—the starters from the 1984-85 St. John's basketball team, the major and minor figures on the professional wrestling circuit, and the cast of the film The Bad News Bears. But the payoff is an intimate bond with the reader, whether in the frequent "mailbag" feature or the diatribes that he often prints in full. There is not a sports columnist on the planet generous enough, or perhaps secure enough, to share his platform like this.
The Sports Guy, then, is a subversion of the traditional sports column. Charles Fountain, who teaches a sportswriting course at Northeastern University, points out that this is not unlike the way in which The Daily Show With Jon Stewart subverts the traditional nightly news broadcast. Like Stewart, Simmons has a childlike obsession with pop culture. Simmons' is the only sports column in which athletes sit comfortably alongside Survivor, The O.C., and Chuck Klosterman. Simmons realizes, in the age of ESPN, that sports detritus has become pop detritus—ex-athletes star in reality shows, while SportsCenter anchors quote from Brian De Palma movies. To draw a bright line around sports, as some old lions of the sports page would do, has become an increasingly untenable pose.
Moreover, frequent exposure to the Simmons' column tends to challenge one's definition of "sports." A favorite lament of TV executives is that the Super Bowl and the World Series don't attract the audience they used to. This is an appealing thesis—sports ratings as a barometer of societal well-being—but it is deeply flawed. What juice has been sapped from the "three majors" has been diverted into sports video games, sports gambling, the X games, World's Strongest Man contests, and, not least, fantasy football. And also to Bill Simmons' column, which, not coincidentally, covers all of these things. It is quite possible that "sports," broadly defined, is thriving even while its major institutions are in decline. The genius of the "Sports Guy" is that he knows where the action is.

The Esotec System 242 is a pretty typical 2-way system in terms of installation, and was easy to set up. To my benefit, I still had the baffles from the System 240MKll's I'd tested earlier. They were an exact fit for this system. While my installation was easy, I must warn you that the tweeters are rather large, contain few mounting accessories and the woofer might not fit in a standard speaker hole. Also, beware of the markings on the crossover case that are extremely small and difficult to read. Fortunately, the manual provides detailed information related to this issue and the speaker dimensions.
Supplying the amplified signal to this component system, I wired up an Alpine CDA-9857 head unit directly to a TRU Technology C-7 amp (conservatively rated at 125 watts x 4). Channel A was used for the left components and channel C for the right, providing ample headroom while limiting crosstalk. The channels were level-matched within 0.05 volts. At no time was any processing used during the listening test.
With the baffles bolted to my well-damped, 2.25ft3 test enclosures, I finalized my setup with some brief listening to determine the best position for the speaker cabinets, verify phase and adjust the passive crossovers accordingly. I ended up with the enclosures positioned on-axis to my listening location, exactly 4′ from each cabinet. I started with the tweeters connected to the "0" level lugs on the crossovers, where they remained for the test. However, at first listen I noticed a lull in the response between the tweeter and midrange. To correct this, I swapped the phase of the tweeters, which yielded a synergistic response between the drivers and stabilized the overall image. My guess is that either something is mislabeled in the set or that Dynaudio is expecting the user to place the speakers in typical factory locations with the tweeters up high and the woofers in the lower door. Doing this could possibly result in enough distance to place the speakers back in phase with each other by the time they hit the listener.
Sara K. "If I Could Sing Your Blues"
This Chesky recording of Sara K.'s "If I could Sing Your Blues" was performed in the studio as if it were a live setting, with select instruments placed a good distance from the mic in order to capture the realistic depth of the soundstage. For example, Sara K. and her guitar are intimately close, while the opening trumpet is projected from 10′ away, thus it should be conveyed through the speaker in this manner.
Solo, the first give notes of the trumpet define its position and provide a feeling for the room setting. The 242's didn't have me wholly convinced that the brass was set back as described in the recording notes, but there was good notable depth. The reverberation of the recording room,however, was nicely rendered and the introduction of the vocals confirmed a stable, genuine boundary.
The gentle plucks of Sara K.'s guitar were palpably real, with resonant details sounding so good it was if she were actually playing a private session for me. Each tap and stroke of the jazz brush across the cymbals and drum set were terrific. The piano and standup bass were well-balanced, though the individuality of the bass strings was a bit muddled. These instruments are layered upon the soundstage and the placement of each was accomplished in a praiseworthy way through the Dynaudios.
Sara K.'s vocals sounded warm and natural, but there was some bite in her midrange. I'm not sure the exact cause of this sharpness – possibly a small spike in the frequency response or maybe cone breakup – but it reared its head more prominently as the volume was increased.
Score: 8/10
Toni Braxton "Shadowless"
"Shadowless," off Toni Braxton's Libra, is a simple piece. The composition is restrained most of the way through with intermittent strong points toward the latter half of the song. It's also very intimate, with Braxton's vocals dead center and a soundstage structured to provide limited overall depth. The serenade style of the song has only a single guitar accompanying the vocals closely and breaks to a nice width as additional guitarists join in the more dynamic sections.
After listening to this track, I tried to think of a subtle way to describe its reproduction though the Esotec 242's, but I don't think "subtle" will do them justice. So I'll give it to you short and sweet—the Esotec 242's were damn near perfect! Aside from some trivial bold notes apparent in her lower range, Braxton's vocals sounded stunning. The transition from her deep, boxy lows to the airiness in her upper range was smooth and natural – extraordinarily lifelike. Even the short versed backup vocals complementing Braxton were easily defined. And the instruments – every string pluck of the main guitar was quick and detailed with dazzling, resonant character. The hand slapping of the guitar body while the strings are kept from resonating was sensational, and each of the additional guitars was easy to place throughout the entire song. Outstanding!
Score: 9.5/10
Jazz (Instrumental)
Monte Alexander "Sweet Georgia Brown"
Monte Alexander's instrumental version of "Sweet Georgia Brown" is a powerful session, thanks to two percussionists, a full horn section, two bassists and Alexander on the piano. With such an array of instruments, the soundstage, transient response and system dynamics can easily be compromised. That wasn't the case through the Esotec System 242. Every snare, tom and cymbal and each of the horns were precisely placed and easily discerned. The tonal characteristics of the horns were perfectly balanced, revealing the elemental rasp of the reed. Even the mechanical noises of the keys in the far left horn were present – details I find missing in many other systems. Monte's piano work came through in a passionate way, with boxy character and imagery that moved with the scale of the keys, just as it should.
Dynamically speaking, the System 242 was ready for any sudden changes. They were quick and accurate, never exhibiting any false overhang. The transient response was really good, as I noted with praise in the littlest instrument details. If there is one negative to speak of, it was again the lowest notes of the string bass. These instruments were soft, almost transparent, which resulted in a lack of realism. Fortunately for the Dynaudios, this track isn't heavily dependent on these instruments.
Score: 8.5/10
New Radicals "Crying Like a Church on Monday"
This track by New Radicals one I really like to use in my listening reviews. It's one of those tracks that has a tendency to reveal any negative tonal characteristics in a system, while its dynamics make it very demanding and allow me to review the change in a system's response at different levels.
I listened to this track through the Dynaudios several times simply because they were an utter joy to listen to. To be blunt, there were absolutely no tonal flaws to report. Ronan Keating's vocals were spot on – gentle and airy in the softly sung areas and robust and lively as his vocals elevated. The linearity of his voice transpired naturally, and the virtual image of him performing was rock solid, without even the slightest movement over his large vocal range. Actually, this was true in every aspect of the playback. The drum set was spectacular, particularly in quiet passages where the delicate taps of the toms played through naturally. The electric guitar was far left and nicely noted, while the piano and subtle acoustic guitar were conceived to the opposite side and easily distinguished from one another – a feat in itself. Yeah, I was impressed.
As I progressed with my listening, I cranked up the volume level in small increments to see how the System 242 handles power. To my pleasure, they maintained a high l
evel of composure at all but the highest listening levels, where I noted the vocals to dissipate a bit and become somewhat rough around the edges. All in all, though, the Esotec System 242 deserves a lot of respect.
Score: 9.5/10
Detailed, dynamic and accurate, these Dyanaudios are surely one of the finest performing 2-way systems I've evaluated. That, in a nutshell, is how I'd describe the Dynaudio Esotec System 242's. It's a shame, but with a formidable retail price of $990, they're certainly not going to fit into everyone's budget. But, considering the sound reproduction capabilities and the overall level of performance they achieve, I still deem the System 242 an absolute bargain, especially since they better most components costing two or three times their price. If you have pockets deep enough to afford them, I'd encourage you to take a listen. They're certainly lustworthy.

Patrick White, the first great novelist to come out of Australia, was born in 1912, won the Nobel Prize in 1973, died in 1990 and his work promptly dropped from fashion. His style of narrative-driven psychological modernism seemed outmoded, perhaps, when the highbrow section of the literary marketplace had turned to the exuberant post-modernism of Salman Rushdie and David Foster Wallace, on the one hand, and the differently stylized realisms of Raymond Carver and Alice Munro on the other. A chapter from one of White's novels, submitted pseudonymously to a list of top publishers in 2007, was rejected by every one of them. White -- who was gay, had a gallows wit and self-consciously cast himself as an outsider, both ahead of his times and behind them -- would have seen the humor in that. He once said that he had wasted his life writing and should have stuck to "learning to cook properly."
More recently Peter Carey, the second great Australian novelist, bemoaned the fact that virtually all of White's work was out of print both in England and America. Now here are stunning new editions of White's two most indelible books, "Voss" (Penguin: 440 pp., $16), introduced by Thomas Keneally (author of "Schindler's List" and much else) and "The Vivisector" (Penguin: 617 pp., $17), accompanied by an essay from another Nobel laureate, J.M. Coetzee.
"Voss" is a historical novel, set in the 19th century, and its eponymous hero is based on a doomed German explorer who vanished into Australia's dead heart, the brutal and ancient desert that occupies much of the continent, then roamed only by aboriginal tribesmen. Voss' fatal flaw, and, oddly, his immense appeal as a character, is his pigheaded megalomania. Asked if he has studied the map of where he intends to go, Voss replies: "The map? I will first make it."
White, with nice irony, writes of Voss: "At times his arrogance did resolve itself into simplicity, though it was difficult, especially for strangers, to distinguish these occasions." For Voss, "[p]laces yet unvisited can become an obsession, promising final peace and goodness." Like the British explorers who vanished into the frozen wastes of Antarctica, Voss thinks he's making a journey of the mind, which is, in a way, how the story plays out, even though he dies in the grumbling darkness of wilds that are very real.
Voss makes the mistake of going into the desert with the idea of playing God, though his trek does finally inspire humbling self-knowledge. "He himself, he realized, had always been most abominably frightened, even at the height of his divine power, a frail god upon a rickety throne, afraid of opening letters, of making decisions, afraid of the instinctive knowledge in the eyes of mules, of the innocent eyes of good men, of the elastic nature of the passions, even of the devotion he had received from some men, and one woman, and dogs."
White writes beautifully, precisely, and "Voss" is a heroic, brilliant novel. At its core is a haunting love story between the messianic Voss and Laura Trevelyan, the awkward young orphan he meets in Sydney before his journey. White keeps this platonic romance alive in his characters' minds especially while they're apart, giving the book its ache. Joseph Losey tried to film this story, and Peter Carey himself riffed upon it in his wonderful "Oscar and Lucinda."
The impressionistic, painterly quality of White's prose is to the fore in "The Vivisector," a rambling narrative with eye-peeling power, and perhaps the most convincing of all fictional attempts to capture the magic-lantern sensibility of a great visual artist. The book's hero, Hurtle Duffield, is a fictional composite of several painters White knew, including Francis Bacon and Sydney Nolan. Bacon (I used to see him in pubs in London's Soho) had watchful sharks' eyes that would suddenly light up like lasers, as if he were considering the removal of your viscera. Almost every sentence of "The Vivisector" has this scalpel-like quality, recasting the world's surface to show how Duffield will render it in paint. The book begins: "It was Sunday, and Mumma had gone next door with Lena and the little ones. Under the pepper tree in the yard Pa was sorting, counting, the empty bottles he would sell back: the bottles going clink clink as Pa stuck them in the sack. The fowls were fluffing in the dust and sun: that crook-neck white pullet Mumma said she would hit on the head if only she had the courage to; but she hadn't."
Duffield's parents give him away, so he is without illusions from the start, and he finds himself able to see through and dissect the weaknesses of others, qualities that inform his art and brutalize his relationships. "They walked on rather aimlessly. He hoped she wouldn't notice he was touched, because he wouldn't have known how to explain why. Here lay the great discrepancy between aesthetic truth and sleazy reality." One of Duffield's paintings is called "The Mad Eye," representing God as artist, vivisector and enemy.
Like Voss, Duffield has his megalomaniac will, then, and, as in "Voss," "The Vivisector" counterpoints a tone and philosophical reach that mimic Dostoevski with a gift for social observation and comedy worthy of Henry James. "Mrs. Trotter made a sincere though wrong sound, while opening her handbag to look for help," White writes, describing a scene in which Duffield mingles with Sydney's high-bourgeois ladies, angling for a patron. "Mrs. Horsfall closed the glossy pages and let the magazine fall plunk on the pearl-shell table."
Both of these novels concern visionaries at large in a landscape that obsesses them while they almost hate it. Both reflect White's ambiguous attitude to Australia, whose literary map he was indeed writing. Both show how plans, whether divine or not, seem to show themselves in our lives when least desirable. Both have pace and power, immense dramatic force, and deserts of sometimes intimidating mysticism. Best of all is the style. "Down the sleek asphalt hill the evening traffic was spurting through the purple shallows," White notes, a great moment that recalls Saul Bellow, another writer who seemed so often to see through into the essence of stuff.
Twenty years after Patrick White's death, "Voss" and "The Vivisector" are revealed once again as masterpieces. White may have deprecated his own talents, but he's still cooking -- mightily.

When he started the season with five goals in the Boston Bruins' first three games, center Marc Savard said he was going to try to shoot more and expand his resume beyond his famous playmaking production.
After scoring one of the Bruins' two goals in their 2-1 win over the New York Islanders at Nassau Coliseum last night, Savard now has four goals in his last eight games. Of course, in the games between his hot start to the season and his recent uptick in lamp-lighting, he scored just six goals. So does that make him a streak scorer? Maybe, but more than anything it makes him a player who's aware of what his team needs and when to provide it.
"I wanted to shoot the puck more this year. And obviously with Kess going down and Looch out, I've got to put more pucks to the net," said Savard, who was skating a bulk of the first half of the season with Phil Kessel and Milan Lucic and has now had Chuck Kobasew on his wing for more than a week. "Obviously, Chucky's going to drive to the net. He scores most of his goal from blue paint, so I'm trying to put the puck there and he's getting there. We're going to get some. We're close."
Savard's career-high for goals is 28, so he's actually within reach of that mark. Once the Bruins get Kessel and Lucic back, Savard might again start to take a backseat. But it wont' be because he's been discouraged from shooting.
"There's times where he has good players with him, but you can't keep passing up on shots even when you have good players with you," Bruins head coach Claude Julien said. "We've encouraged him to shoot more and whether it's the circumstances now that are helping him to do that more, he's doing it. And I guess that's what matters."

Coral Reefs
What: Divers in the Water
Where: Pacific Coral Reef
When: 10:30 a.m.
(Times may vary based on staff availability.)
Atlantic Coral Reef
The Flower Garden Banks reefs are the most northerly of the well-developed coral reef communities in the Gulf of Mexico. They sit atop salt domes near the edge of the sandy continental shelf. These reefs are bathed year-round by warm, clear ocean currents.
Like coral reefs around the world, the Flower Gardens are vulnerable to pollution, over-fishing, over-collecting, oil spills and damage caused by anchors. Flower Garden Banks is a National Marine Sanctuary.
Pacific Coral Reef
The Aquarium's walk-through exhibit is full of colorful new fish! More than 200 fish from 75 different species are swimming in the bright Pacific Coral Reef. (The eels and groupers moved to the Shark Tank.)
The exhibit opened on April 12.
As Diverse as a Rain Forest
Coral reefs support one-third of the world's fish species. Reef fish have unique adaptations. Triggerfish raise their dorsal fins to lock into narrow crevices and escape predators. Butterflyfish attract mates with unique colors and patterns.
What's Hard as a Rock and Soft as Jelly?
Corals! Soft-bodied animals called polyps leave behind calcium carbonate skeletons when they die. New generations of polyps build above these remains. Eventually, magnificent coral reefs form.
Funded by Nuture Your Love of Nature
This exhibit was funded by the New Mexico BioPark Society, thanks in large part to a contribution from the Frank D. Gorham, Jr. and Marie Kelly Gorham Charitable Foundation. The exhibit transformation is part of NMBPS's "Nuture Your Love of Nature" Capital Campaign.

Could this be due to clipping in the +1EV shot?
Every time I lighten an image in Adobe Camera Raw whether I use a custom DNG profile or not, I constantly get hue errors mainly introduced in combination with the appearance of warm/cool WB and the erratic, non-gradual change to contrast ratio with every increase of luminance. The lighter the colors get usually requires I flatten a section of the default Medium S-Curve to correct for the hue shift.
Hue twists are frequently attributed to ACR, but Eric Chan has stated in another thread that if one uses ETTR and normalization of the image is necessary, one should use the exposure slider first to get the tonal values in the proper range before the 3D color table is applied.
Are you reporting something different here?
Also the software interpretation of the sensor data should be suspect as well.
The DNG PE needs to be somewhat conservative in its chart wizard with regards to clipping because color tables are always applied after white balance. Your raw capture may not have clipped data in its native coordinate system (native RGB, without WB applied), but that data can become clipped after WB is applied. That leads to problems with the color mapping. DNG PE will generally detect this case and prevent you from proceeding.My recommendation is simply to bracket exposures and then pick the brightest one that DNG PE will accept without giving you an error.
My recommendation is simply to bracket exposures and then pick the brightest one that DNG PE will accept without giving you an error.
That's the first time I've heard that advice and I've been using the DNG PE since it was made available. Thanks for posting that, Peter.

DetailsThis treadmill is for fitness enthusiasts who want the best-of-the-best: that is, the top-of-the-line model from the world's top treadmill company. What makes it so special is a collection of attributes not found on basic running machines. It starts with the impact-absorbing neoprene deck cushion and "soft-system" levelers that will bring bliss to your knees, hips, and back as you run (patented Impact Absorption System). The TR4500HR can provide 100's of different programs, including the hot trend in gym treadmill running today of Trekking ™. If you have a personal trainer nearby, he or she can input custom workouts into the TR4500HR so you'll stay motivated (patented Personal Trainer Studio feature). The unique console displays international symbols for easy operation, including Dynamic Heart-Rate Control, which automatically adjusts output to match your desired training zone. The powerful motor can crank out 5-HP when needed, so there is plenty of capacity available. You can begin just by pushing quick-start, and there are two Stop buttons available -- one on the console, the other on the railing for emergency stops. With the easy-to-use Sports Utility System, you can easily keep track of time, distance, speed, incline, calories, laps, pace and other measurements. The TR4500HR's frame is constructed with commercial grade steel and the deck is wax-treated composite fiberboard, so you don't have to worry about the machine going anywhere beneath you.

5 of the best Google alternatives – Bing
Microsoft's rival to Google has been running since 2009, but has never quite achieved the same level of popularity. This year that could change as Bing starts powering Yahoo! Search.
The biggest appeal of Bing is the rather lovely daily image: hover over it to see related facts and search results. Like Google, Bing provides instant answers on subjects including maths, flights and sports. Bing does store some personal data, but much less than Google.
5 of the best Google alternatives – Siri
Apple's voice-powered search engine is great for finding out the weather or checking something when out and about.
Obviously it's only an option to owners of the iPhone 4S (and, hopefully, the iPad 3). Plus, Siri uses Google to do its searching. But as you are hunting without being logged in to Google, your information won't be collected. Not the best solution, but a great on-the-go one.
5 of the best Google alternatives – Wolfram Alpha
Wolfram Alpha isn't a search engine. It's a computation engine. Ask it for facts, scientific formulae, equation answers or any kind of statistics and you will receive quick, accurate results. Ask it a deep philosophical question and it might be stumped (although it does know that the meaning of life is 42).
Not a complete Google replacement but an absolute winner if you need facts. The only data they collect is not personally identifiable, unless you voluntarily give it to them.
5 of the best Google alternatives – Duck Duck Go
Duck Duck Go is the indie answer to Google. It doesn't collect or share any personal information – so if you are really concerned about protecting your data online this is your solution. If you need a higher level of privacy, Duck Duck Go even offers an anonymous searching option through Tor.
The layout of the website is nice and clean, with virtually no adverts. Google Chrome users can also add a Duck Duck Go voice search extension.
5 of the best Google alternatives – Dogpile
Dogpile collates results from search engines such as Google and Bing, so it lets you search Google without the associated privacy concerns. It also has a nifty feature called IntelliFind that adds additional content it thinks you will like.
Dogpile's privacy policy is pretty similar to Wolfram Alpha's: it does store data, but it's anonymous unless you knowingly provide it.

Wall Street was set for a slightly lower open on Thursday, as investors lock in gains after a rally Wednesday, which was spurred by a deal by U.S. lawmakers to avert a "fiscal cliff" of austerity measures that had been due to kick in this year.
Earlier losses in U.S. stock index futures Thursday were capped by better-than-expected data that showed U.S. private-sector employers added 215,000 jobs in December. That was well above economists' expectations for a gain of 133,000 jobs, according to a Reuters survey.

"The underlying economy has momentum, and the employment data confirms that. The political issues in Washington counter the momentum we're seeing in the economy, but you might see still equities grind higher today on this," said John Brady, managing director at R.J. O'Brien & Associates in Chicago.
A separate report showed the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose last week, but the data was too distorted by year-end holidays to offer a clear read of labor market conditions.
S&P 500 futures fell 2.3 points and were below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures lost 20 points, while Nasdaq 100 futures dipped 1.00 point.
Wall Street began the new year Wednesday with a rally and their best performance in more than a year, sparked by a last-minute deal in Washington to avert a fiscal cliff of automatic massive tax hikes and spending cuts that, in the worst-case scenario, would have hurt the nation's economic growth.
The minutes of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting last month will be released at 2:00 p.m. EST. The minutes will give details on the discussions of the Federal Open Market Committee's December 11-12 meeting.
U.S. retailer Costco Wholesale Corp reported a better-than-expected 9 percent rise in December sales at stores open at least a year, mainly helped by an additional sales day in the reporting period. Costco shares were flat in premarket trading.
Gap Inc will buy women's fashion boutique Intermix Inc for $130 million to enter the luxury clothes market, the Wall Street Journal reported. The stock surged 4.9 percent to $32.90 in premarket trading.
Family Dollar Stores Inc reported a lower-than-expected quarterly profit as its emphasis on selling more everyday items like cigarettes and soft drinks put pressure on margins. The stock fell 8 percent to $58.89 in premarket trading.
Growth in China's increasingly important services sector accelerated in December at its fastest pace in four months, adding to signs of a modest year-end revival in the world's second-largest economy.

New Zealand
New Zealand places no minimum stockholding obligation on industry. Until the recent acquisition of government owned-ticket reservations, New Zealand relied on the industry's normal stockholding practices to meet the country's overall minimum 90-day net import obligation as a member of the IEA.
From 1 January 2007, the New Zealand government acquired ticket reservations for stocks held in other IEA member countries, representing around 3.7 mb of public stocks in 2007, 2.1 mb in 2008, and around 0.8 mb in 2009 and 2010. Because of its growing domestic production in recent years, New Zealand's net imports have dropped, thereby reducing its IEA stockholding obligation.
All tickets are held directly by the New Zealand government, rather than through an agency on the government's behalf. The public stocks held in other countries are a mix of refined product stocks (the majority of which is in the form of gasoline) and crude oil.
The New Zealand Government has entered into government to government agreements with Australia and the UK, and has concluded formal treaties with the Netherlands and Japan to enable stocks held in those countries to count towards New Zealand's IEA obligations. In an IEA coordinated emergency action, these stocks held outside of the country may be released onto the global market. If needed domestically, the stocks can be purchased and transported directly or swapped with stock held closer to New Zealand in order to reduce transport costs and delivery time.

|In the
Metropolitan Museum, this painting is displayed on the opposite wall from
Frederick Church's The Heart of the Andes; a note says that this
represents the rivalry between the two painters and their two different types
of subject matter from the Americas.
|According to the
Metropolitan Museum's web site
"This painting is the major work that resulted from the artist's first trip
to the West. His intention to create panoramic views of the American frontier
was apparent by December 1858, just before he embarked on the trip. In early
1859 he accompanied a government survey expedition, headed by Frederick W.
Lander, to the Nebraska Territory. By summer, the party had reached the Wind
River Range of the Rocky Mountains in what is now Wyoming. Bierstadt dubbed
the central mountain in the picture Lander's Peak following the colonel's
death in the Civil War. This was one of a number of large works painted after
Bierstadt's return from these travels. It was completed in 1863, exhibited to
great acclaim, and purchased in 1865 for the then-astounding sum of $25,000
by James McHenry, an American living in London. Bierstadt later bought it
back and gave or sold it to his brother Edward."

Just one week after the death of celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Ryan, his most notorious client, former reality star Heidi Montag, admits she regrets parts of her mega-makeover.
"I've had my nose tape on 24 hours a day since November," Montag told Life and Style magazine. "The tape is supposed to keep the swelling down and hold my nose in place the way Dr. Ryan sculpted it. I don't want my nose to fall off like Michael Jackson's."
In addition to her no-nose paranoia, Montag also stated that she's unhappy with her G-cup breast augmentation, which made up just one of the 10 procedures Dr. Ryan preformed in one day last year.
"I'm desperate to go back to normal," the "Hills" alum said. "I'm downgrading and going a little smaller, to a D or a double D."Scoop: Montag reacts to death of plastic surgeon

Lindsay's dad hopes for post-rehab reunion
After putting a brief rehab stint and an even shorter jail stay behind her, actress Lindsay Lohan may now mix and mingle with whomever she'd like.
It's a freedom the 24-year-old exercised when she spent time with mother, Dina Lohan, and more recently, visited with off-again on-again girlfriend Samantha Ronson. Now estranged dad Michael Lohan hopes he's the next in line for a post-rehab reunion with LiLo.
"All I want is a relationship with my daughter," the always outspoken father told Radar Online. "Hopefully, Dina and the other people around Lindsay will do the right thing and finally get on the same page as me."
Of course, given the family man's tabloid tell-all habits, he might have a hard time convincing his daughter or those close to her to get on that page. Still, he insisted, "If we were, most of this wouldn't have happened in the first place."Slideshow: Lindsay Lohan
The Situation could start shirtless battle with 'Dancing' pro
If early "Dancing With the Stars" casting rumors hold true, "Jersey Shore's" Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino will soon add a B for ballroom to his GTL routine.
While the man best known from his six-plus-pack would be expected to go foot-to-foot with other celebrities, "Dancing" vet-turned-co-host Brooke Burke suspects Sorrentino might just face a different sort of challenge from one of the show's toned pros.

"It would probably be a competition between Maksim (Chmerkovskiy) and him about who would take their shirts off more often," Burke told George Lopez on a recent episode of "Lopez Tonight."
Unfortunately, ballroom fans looking forward to a dance-floor ab-off could be disappointed, as the "Dancing" co-host warned of a possible hitch in the hot-guy showdown — the frequently shirt-free Chmerkovskiy might stay buttoned up.
"They're trying to keep Maks' shirt on right now, actually!"
Lopez failed to ask Burke the obvious all-important follow up questions, including "Who are 'they'?" and "Why on earth would these people want to do a thing like that?!"

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — President Barack Obama is telling supporters that with one month to go, it is time for them to get "almost obsessive."
Speaking to donors at a $20,000-per-ticket dinner in San Francisco, Obama said, quote, "I very much intend to win this election."
But he says it will require supporters to mobilize every resource they can think of to help him. He encourages those who given him cash to do more by sending emails, making phone calls, and reaching out to cousins or uncles or friends in the battleground states that will decide the election.
Says Obama, quote: "You've got to make sure that we bring this home."
The president spoke Monday night at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium before a separate fundraising concert capping a lucrative campaign trip to California.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A large fire broke out Tuesday in an oil and wood storage facility in an industrial city in northern Iran, but only one person was injured, officials said.
The mayor of Qazvin, Masoud Nosrati, denied earlier reports that there was an explosion at the site. He also said firefighters had contained the blaze.
Qazvin, some 130 kilometers (80 miles) west of the capital, Tehran, is home to many cargo depots and industrial sites ranging from glassware workshops to tire factories.
The semiofficial Fars news agency initially said an explosion had gone off in a wood and oil storage facility, injuring nearly 50 people. Fars also said police had closed off roads to the area where the explosion took place. But Nosrati told the official IRNA news agency that reports of an explosion were "incorrect."
The head of the emergency department Habibollah Behtooei also rejected earlier reports about a large number of casualties, saying nobody was in the facility when the fire began and only one rescue worker was injured.
Local media in Iran frequently issue conflicting reports amid the chaos that breaks out during emergency situations and it is difficult to independently confirm them.

Mercury's finest hour
You can do something the Hubble telescope can't: Observe Mercury. And February is the best time this year to do it.
The first planet will make its best appearance of 2013 about 30 minutes after sunset between Feb. 12 and 20 as it positions itself at least 10 degrees-extend your arm and make a fist-above the horizon in the west-southwest. It may be tough to view since we don't live on a prairie and trees obstruct most of the horizons in our backyards.
Mercury and Venus are the only two planets between Earth and the sun. Because of this vantage point, Mercury appears to have phases like the moon-first quarter, last quarter and half-illuminated.
Since its orbit hugs the sun so tightly, Mercury is only visible from Earth during morning or evening twilight, always rising and setting with the sun. Hubble as a rule won't observe it because of its proximity to the sun. Training its powerful telescope on Mercury (or Venus, for that matter) would likely damage Hubble's instruments.
Mercury will be in retrograde from Feb. 8 into April, meaning it will appear to move backward in the sky, but this is an optical illusion caused by the difference in orbital speeds of the two planets. Mercury periodically reaches a stage in its orbit around the sun where, from our perspective on Earth, it appears to slow down to the point where it stands still, and then appears to move backward.
Mercury will be less than 1 degree from Mars on Feb. 8. The sky won't be dark enough to spot the pair until they're just setting in the west.
Since the new moon is on Feb. 10, just after sunset on Feb. 11, a very thin crescent moon will be setting right behind the sun and floating above Mercury and Mars. After the weekend of Feb. 16 and 17, Mercury begins to slide back toward the horizon and gets lost in the sun's glare, ending our Earthly observing opportunities for now.
Feb. 7 - Mercury and Mars form a pleasing but tight planetary conjunction. Mars will be two-thirds of a degree to the upper left of much brighter Mercury. Binoculars or a telescope are recommended because they will be very low in the west-southwest at evening twilight.
Feb. 10 - New moon.
Feb. 25 - Full moon. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Full Snow Moon because the heaviest snows usually fell during this time of the year. Since hunting is difficult in late February, this moon has also been called the Full Hunger Moon.

NEW ORLEANS — A cold, gray day greeted revelers — but didn't deter them — along parade routes Tuesday as the Carnival season in New Orleans headed to a crest with the unabashed celebration of Mardi Gras.
The first street marching groups, including clarinetist Pete Fountain's Half-Fast Walking Club, were to begin their marches along oak-lined St. Charles Avenue and into the business district.
The Zulu parade began on schedule, led by a New Orleans police vanguard on horseback that included Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
Later, the floats of Rex — the king of Carnival — and hundreds of truck trailers decorated by family and social groups would wind down St. Charles Avenue.
Rain fell, and umbrellas and raincoats sprouted along the parade route. Sleet was falling on some merrymakers in areas north and west of the city.
But revelers gathered by the thousands in the French Quarter, where the bawdy side of Mardi Gras would surely be on full display.
Mark Nelson of St. Louis said he would be in the mix even in a downpour for his first Mardi Gras.
"That's why God made washing machines," Nelson said as he sipped on a daiquiri.
Revelers lined up near a stand on Bourbon Street where artist Gail Vertucci was painting Carnival masks on faces.
"These people are crazy," she said. "They'll get painted no matter what. It doesn't matter if it's pouring rain, these people will line up all day long."
Die-hards braved the weather in costume in the Quarter.
The weather wasn't going to stop them.
"We'll drink, drink, drink until it gets drier," said Dean Cook of New Orleans as he walked Bourbon Street dressed as a pirate with vampire fangs.
"Mermaids love the water," he said of his wife, Terrina Cook, who was dressed in a shiny blue mermaid costume, complete with a fin.
Along the Uptown parade route, Carol LeBlanc and husband Hov LeBlanc of New Orleans were strolling along St. Charles Avenue with friends Vicki and Duane O'Flynn from Arabi, La. The troupe was dressed as scarecrows, stuffed with grass and wearing plaid pants and tattered coveralls.
The cold weather wasn't worrying LeBlanc. "I've got my long johns on," she said.
Nearby, April Womack and her family had tents set up. Grills were fired up, and pots of crawfish were boiling. They camped overnight, a family tradition for almost two decades. "It's all about location," she said.
Her cousin, Yolanda Moton, said Mardi Gras is the opportunity for an annual family reunion, with relatives coming from as far away as Georgia. "This is the one time of the year that everyone in the family fits this in their schedule."
Sue and Kevin Preece from Edmonton, Canada, were at their first Mardi Gras.
"We wanted to come for Mardi Gras for about 10 years. It was on my bucket list, and he (Kevin) made it happen," said Sue Preece, a social worker.
Ronnie Davis, a professor of economics at the University of New Orleans, decided to break his button-down image for at least one day. Clad in tutus, he and his wife, Arthurine, strolled through a rain-thinned crowd.
"All year I have to dress professionally. This is the one time I get to act like a fool," Davis said.
Celebrations were scheduled throughout south Louisiana and in coastal Mississippi and Alabama, sharing the traditions brought by French colonists in the 18th century.
In Louisiana's bayou parishes, riders on horseback would go from town to town, making merry in what is called the Courir du Mardi Gras.
The merriment must come to a halt at midnight, when the solemn season of Lent begins. New Orleans police were expected to sweep down Bourbon Street at midnight in the annual ritual of letting revelers know the party is over for another year.
The Zulu krewe's 2014 Witch Doctor, Derek Rabb, said he was charged with praying for the krewe's good health and good weather on Mardi Gras. "By God's grace, there will be sun," he said.
When out of costume, Rabb works at New Orleans-based Entergy Corp. A member of the organization for the past eight years, he said being in such a high-profile position has been an experience he won't soon forget.
"It's been a whole lot of fun," he said. "It's allowed me to meet some really interesting people."
Kitty Jensen, of Washington, D.C., said she and about 15 others from the nation's capital were part of the Kilt of Many Colors and were scheduled to march in the Rex parade.
"We are the party that never ends," said Jensen, dressed in an airy, royal purple ball gown, reminiscent of the Renaissance era.

Analysis of the future exhaustion of the IPv4 Central pool (Archive)

- What will happen?
Analysis of the future exhaustion of the IPv4 Central pool in relation to IANA and its impact on the AfriNIC region
For some years now, studies have been done to try and assess the dates of exhaustion of the IPv4 central pool at the level of IANA and the Regional Registries. Geoff Huston's studies, for instance, published on http://www.potaroo.net/tools/ipv4/ project the exhaustion of the IANA pool of addresses to around 26 July 2011.(Seen on 27 February 2007 at 7:59 UTC +10. Note: The website computes possible dates for the pool exhaustion in relation to IANA and RIR allocations in real time).
In light of this and other information available (similar study done by CISCO using different methods), there is undeniable concern for IP network operators with questions like: What will the situation be at the estimated date, if the operators cannot obtain public IPv4 addresses? Should there be reserves for addresses locally at the RIR level and/or even at the IANA level to cater for the most urgent?
Faced with such questions, operators in the APNIC region (Asia Pacific Network Information Center) proposed a policy aiming at coordinating and planning the exhaustion of the IPv4 central pool (http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/proposals/prop-046-v001.html). But beyond the approach of centralized coordination for the transition, there remains concerns that are not expressly addressed and raised in the community especially in regions where the Internet is in its full expansion capacity such as Africa and Latin-America (under the management of AfriNIC and LACNIC respectively).
Some of these questions are:
- What can those "small" registries (like AfriNIC) do, to ensure access to IPv4 addresses to their communities even after exhaustion of the IANA central pool?
- How will the Internet resource management system look like after the exhaustion of the IANA central Pool and that of AfriNIC?
- What about the IPv6 solution?
The objective of this document is to review different points based on data for the African Region and to set up foundations for some solutions whilst leaving the discussion open for contribution from the community.
It is almost evident that with the exhaustion of the of IPv4 address pool, a black market will develop with its law of supply and demand and will not be favorable to ISPs in emerging regions.
It is also almost obvious that as for IPv4, the natural deployment of IPv6 in the communities concerned will have some difficulties, in spite of the measures taken to encourage it.

Derry mom wants smokers banned from public playground after recent encounterBy HUNTER McGEE
Union Leader Correspondent
November 20. 2013 9:56PM
DERRY — A local mother's recent encounter with a smoker at a playground sparked a discussion by town councilors of a possible public smoking ban.
"We like to go out to be healthy, get fresh air, get some exercise — so this really just seems counterproductive when we are exposed to second-hand smoke," Nicole Bump said during Tuesday night's public forum session of the council meeting.
Bump said she took her two children to Hood Park over the past weekend. At the swings, she said she encountered a woman who was pushing her children on the swings while smoking a cigarette. Bump said she had to tell her children they couldn't use the swings because of her fear they would be exposed to the second-hand smoke.
"Try telling that to a 2–year old who wants to use the swings," Bump said.
Before coming to Tuesday's meeting, Bump said she spoke to Councilor Al Dimmock about second-hand smoke at playgrounds; Dimmock had told her smoking isn't allowed at public schools or school playgrounds.
"To me, it only makes sense that we would extend that protection to our children at our current parks and playgrounds as well," Bump said.
Dimmock, who smoked cigarettes for 45 years and quit 10 years ago, thanked Bump for speaking. The councilor mentioned his own experience with smoking, adding that second-hand smoke affected his wife, who never smoked.
"My wife has never had a cigarette, and still I hear her hacking because of my smoking," Dimmock said. "So remember when you light up a cigarette, it's not you who you are affecting, it's the people around you."
Dimmock pointed out that smoking isn't allowed within 45 feet of the Derry Municipal Center.
He said the council has a right to say "they'll be no smoking on any town property."
But some councilors were hesitant to go that far.
Mark Osborne said it might be feasible to consider a ban within approximately 35 feet of playground equipment when it's "reasonably perceived a child would be using it."
He added, "At the same time, I want to be very clear — I don't want Derry to turn into the anti-smoking Gestapo."
Osborne said the council needs to take into consideration adults who pay taxes and would like to be able to enjoy smoking while going on a walk in the park.
"I just don't want to go off the rail here, and this discussion seems like it's going there quick."
Another resident, Kelly Martin came to the microphone and said while it's OK to consider a smoking ban for certain designated areas in town, she opposes a general public smoking ban.
"But let's not forget we live in New Hampshire — Live Free or Die — and I don't want this to become Cambridge (Mass.)," Martin said. "We moved out of Massachusetts for the freedoms that New Hampshire provides its citizens."
Councilors took no action, but said they might hold a future discussion on the topic.

McDonald's to pay $700,000 over Islamic diet
Muslims in Michigan claim false advertising
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — McDonald's and one of its franchise owners agreed to pay $700,000 to members of the Muslim community to settle allegations a Detroit-area restaurant falsely advertised its food as being prepared according to Islamic dietary law.
McDonald's and Finley's Management Co. agreed Friday to the tentative settlement, with that money to be shared by Dearborn Heights resident Ahmed Ahmed, a Detroit health clinic, the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn and lawyers.
Ahmed's attorney, Kassem Dakhlallah, told The Associated Press on Monday that he's "thrilled" with the preliminary deal that's expected to be finalized March 1. McDonald's and Finley's Management deny any liability but say the settlement is in their best interests.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A report of a possible kidnapping in Alaska drew a response of 20 police cars but turned out to be something more innocent.
Police spokeswoman Jennifer Castro says a girl was late for her school bus Tuesday morning in east Anchorage, and she and her father were trying to get it to stop. A witness called police about a man yelling and chasing after a girl.
Police descended on the area around Mountain View Car Wash.
Castro says surveillance video confirmed that the older man was running behind the girl but the original witness didn't see her safely get on the bus.
The Anchorage Daily News reports (http://bit.ly/1aZlgIH) the girl reached school on time.

To implement this law, the department has created the "Rebate Sharing Web Application." Using the Rebate Sharing Web Application, local governments must report detailed information on any existing or new agreements to share or rebate any portion of retailers' occupation taxes generated by retail sales of tangible personal property. The local governments filing the reports are solely responsible for their content. The Department cannot verify the accuracy or completeness of the reports that are submitted. Any questions about the information contained in the reports should be directed to the local government filing the report. Please contact the Department here if you have information that any of the data provided is inaccurate.
For more information, click here for the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's).
Click the link below to access the Rebate Sharing Web Application login screen. This web application must be used by local governments to enter their new or existing rebate sharing agreements. The department will consider reports timely filed if they are submitted by May 1, 2013. This deadline applies to all agreements entered into on or before April 1, 2013.

Gunmen sought in 3 shootings
Gunmen sought in 3 shootings
OMAHA, Neb. —
Omaha police are looking for the gunmen behind three separate shootings Monday.
In a span of six hours, three people were shot within blocks of one another.
An officer patrolling in the area of 42nd and Browne streets heard gunshots around 1:30 p.m., but 32-year-old Marcus Chiles had already been driven to the hospital by the time the officer arrived.
About 45 minutes later, a 17-year-old was hit near 39th Street and Ames Avenue. Anthony Couser is in critical condition as a result.
Virginia Shaw, 54, was shot while she was inside her home near 43rd and Laurel around 7 p.m.
Shaw told police she heard shots, then felt pain and realized she'd been hit. Shaw is expected to survive.
It's unclear whether the shootings are related.

The results of the survey are being reviewed by town officials, which includes a focus panel addressing fracking issues.
The Richmond Town Board has received about 500 completed responses from residents regarding questions about the controversial, unconventional natural gas drilling method called fracking.
Mary Boite, a member of the grassroots committee The Honeoye Frackabouts, said she and other volunteers with the group began a door-to-door campaign in January distributing the questionnaire. Questions pertained to residents' opinions on various aspects of fracking including handling of fracking waste water and potential effect on water quality, agriculture and the town's rural character.
Boite said the findings of the survey showed that close to 90 percent of residents favor a ban on fracking, which is currently under a town moratorium.
The results of the survey are being reviewed by town officials, which includes an official focus panel addressing fracking issues.
