Nomination Deadline: November 1, 2010
The Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) with support from Wadsworth Cengage Learning invites you to participate in the Professional Equity Project (PEP). CCCC will offer a grant valued at $310 to teachers of writing with part-time or adjunct status at two-year colleges, four-year colleges, and universities to attend the CCCC annual convention. The $310 grant includes a check for $150 to help cover expenses, a paid registration for the conference, and a coupon good for one membership in CCCC. The convention will be held in Atlanta, April 6-9, 2011.
A department or individual can nominate teachers who would benefit most from this professional development experience. Additionally, we do accept and encourage self-nomination. CCCC seeks nominees exhibiting a sustained interest in the teaching of writing – both faculty early in their career and more experienced faculty – who have never attended a CCCC Convention (individuals who have never attended a CCCC convention will be given first consideration but we will still accept nominations of those who have attended). While a department or individual may nominate as many teachers who meet these criteria as they would like, there is a generous yet limited number of grants. If there are more nominees than we have grants, one selection criterion we'll use is the date we receive nominees, so early response is desirable. Another criterion is proximity to the convention city; this year, we especially encourage nominees from the greater Atlanta area and the nearby Southeast and Southwest. Finally, we'll try to distribute grants among multiple institutions, if needs be, and we'll give priority to people who haven't yet attended a CCCC convention. Having said that, we heartily encourage all nominations.
Nomination and Award Process
We've designed the nomination process to be simple. Please submit names, addresses, and email addresses of nominees by email to the CCCC Assistant at firstname.lastname@example.com, by November 1, 2010. We will notify grant winners by January 2011, sending each registration materials and procedures for receiving grant funds. We appreciate your support of this initiative to bring more writing teachers to our 2011 annual convention in Atlanta.
Email Questions
A Special Note for Administrators:Last year a few administratiors volunteered to match the $310 grants CCCC had awarded their faculty members. One of them noted, "This opportunity provides terrific professional development at a surprisingly reasonable cost." We agree.
We are, therefore, posing this gentle invitation to you and your institution: what matching support can you provide for your faculty? It was said, and we agree, that this is a win-win situation for both CCCC and institutions. CCCC increases the adjunct and part-time faculty presence at the conference, and institutions are able to offer and support professional development for their adjunct and part-time faculty. We think of this as a partner institution effort, and as a gesture of thanks, we will be pleased to acknowledge such participation by listing partner institutions on the CCCC website/conference program.
We hope that you too will become a partner in this faculty development effort, one that benefits instructional staff, of course, and students as well.

For Managing Congestion
Inhale Steam
Even though studies have not been performed to evaluate its benefit, some people find that inhaling steam can be very soothing in the management of acute sinusitis. Studies do show a small benefit when steam is used in this way to treat symptoms of the common cold.
One way to use steam treatment is to fill a bowl with steamy hot water. Then lean over the bowl in a comfortable position, and drape a towel over the bowl and your head to keep the steam in. Relax and breathe in the steam for about 10 minutes at a time. You can repeat this several times a day. Be careful not to scald your face by touching the water. You can also find steam inhalers made for this purpose in stores. You can also try hot packs over your face several times a day.
Saline Nasal Sprays/Nasal Irrigation
Some doctors recommend a nasal irrigation device and warm salt solution to wash out your sinuses and nasal passages. Check with your doctor to see if they recommend a particular device. Nasal irrigation is most often used in the management of chronic sinusitis. There is some evidence that it may be helpful and little to suggest that it is harmful. Be sure to use distilled water if advised.

IL TROVATORE wrapped in REVENGE BETRAYAL LUST
Verismo Opera presents Il Trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi
Performance: April 28, Sunday, 2:00pm
The Fox Theater, 2223 Broadway St., Redwood City, CA 94063
Tickets & information: 650-369-7770 or www.foxrwc.com
Ticket Prices $22-42 (seniors, students, children 18 & under $22.00)
Fully Staged, Piano and Chamber Orchestra
Company Information <www.verismoopera.org>
On the 200th anniversary of the great opera composer Giuseppe Verdi's birth the FOX THEATER in REDWOOD CITY will host the opera IL TROVATORE on April 28, 2013 at 2pm.One of the composer's greatest masterpieces, this is an event sung by a stellar cast who has sung on the stages of San Francisco Opera, Los Angeles Opera, Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center, and in Europe.The opera will be produced with the collaboration of two regional opera companies:Bay Shore Lyric Opera and Verismo Opera with orchestra and English supertitles.
With ticket prices approaching $300 for a seat at the San Francisco Opera, it's no wonder opera is often perceived as an elite, acquired taste of the well to do. For a parody of the fanciness, think of the Marx Brothers' 1935 classic "A Night at the Opera."So what do you get for a mere $22-42? What you get is a labor of love provided by the excellent talent of Verismo Opera. Verismo Opera was founded by long-time San Francisco Opera chorister Fred Winthrop who has performed in over 5,0000 opera productions with: Opera Pacific, Long Beach Opera, Los Angeles Opera, San Diego Opera, Honolulu Opera and San Francisco Opera and has sung on stage alongside international vocal celebrities such as Pavarotti, Carreras and Domingo and even sang in one of their famous Three Tenor Concerts. Fred developed an ambition to bring opera to the community at affordable prices. Marsha Sims, the Associate Director of Verismo Opera is a resident and music teacher, right here in Redwood Shores.
Big companies like SF Opera or the New York Met spend millions on elaborate sets and large orchestras. Verismo Opera necessarily follows a chamber music tradition of a small orchestra and modest sets. But the most important aspect of an opera production is the quality of the singers, and Verismo Opera boasts a first rate level of talent: Jennifer der Torossian, Frederick Winthrop, Liliane Cromer, Christopher Wells, Eric Coyne and Marsha Sims. Few places in the world are blessed with the number of gifted singers found in the Bay Area.
Hear some of Verdi's most melodious music including his exciting Anvil Chorus sung by Spanish gypsies. Set in Spain in the early 15th century, the opera is full of dramatically powerful scenes: tales of flames at the stake, kidnapping and revenge master-minded by Azucena, the conniving gypsy woman; a mysterious troubadour and Leonora who loses her heart to him; the drama of war waged on a castle fortress; and two brothers separated at birth who unknowingly become mortal enemies


text: The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple has slashed component orders for the iPhone 5 this quarter, responding to weaker-than-expected demand. There have been reports that Apple is looking to launch its next-generation iPhone in the middle of this year as part of a broader effort to shorten its product update cycles. Apple is reportedly also toying with other changes such as a cheaper version of the iPhone in order to help the company slow the momentum of Android and its leading manufacturers Samsung. It is not unusual for demand, and thus Apple's component orders, to wane in the lead-up to hardware updates, but the iPhone 5 is just four months old, and the slashing of production at this stage of the device's lifecycle is sure to cause concern for the company, its investors, and others closely watching Apple's performance.

If you missed Orca Network's "Ways of Whales Workshop" on Jan. 26, you can still learn a lot from the videos recorded at the workshop on Whidbey Island.
Toxic chemicals in the environment constitute one of the great threats to killer whales, which are among the most polluted animals in the world. Toxicologist Peter Ross of Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans always does a great job in explaining the problem in simple terms and putting the issue into its full context.
Peter's talk, shown in the video on this page, includes current topics, such as oil transport into the Salish Sea and other potential toxic threats. He provides a good history and background on the topic up until 30 minutes into his talk, when he begins to focus strongly on the issue of toxic chemicals and ways to address the problem.
The video cuts off at about 52 minutes, but Peter's talk continues in a second video. Here's the YouTube link to Part 2.
The other presentations at the "Ways of Whales Workshop" contain a ton of interesting information. Orca Network has been generous to post links to each of the talks on a single page on the Orca Network website.

–Ford Atlas: I wasn't necessarily swept off my feet by the Atlas concept's styling or active aero features, but I was by its cargo box. I witnessed what one Ford rep jokingly called "Man Step 2.0" in action, but it's hardly just a step anymore. With the gate down, it can double as a bed extender; with the gate closed, it can rise up to serve as a carrier for ladders and other long cargo, negating the need for expensive aftermarket racks. I was completely blown away when I later discovered the bed also had integrated ramps.
This. Needs. To. Happen. ASAP. I'm tired of shilling out for expensive, bulky ramps to load my Honda Super Cub/ leaf chipper/ other large, heavy, motorized ferrous items in the back of a pickup, and then having no good spot to carry or store them while in transit.
–Acura NSX: Yeah, I know we've seen this before, but it's nice to see the next Honda/Acura sports car project has progressed beyond a static display model. We now have a concept car that not only boasts a cabin for the first time ever, but also rides upon a preliminary mockup of the new car's architecture. The new interior is attractive, looks upscale, and has more than a brief hint of Lexus LFA within; outside, the exterior is virtually unspoiled by the evolution. I like it – but then again, I'm a sucker for wispy flying buttresses.
–Jeep Grand Cherokee: I know this is technically a mid-cycle refresh, but there's actually a fair amount packed into this update. The eight-speed automatic is a welcome addition, as is the advent of the 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V-6. The diesel allows the Grand Cherokee to tow like a Hemi, but manages to sip less fuel than if the SUV were built with the 3.6-liter V-6. That 30-mpg highway rating (28 mpg on 4×4 models) is also quite tempting.
-Shelby Ford Focus ST: Are you ready to pony up $15k for a widebody kit, new wheels, obnoxious exterior graphics, and
— wait for it — no power upgrades? I'm not, but if you feel the need for some reason, Shelby American has the aftermarket package for you.
–Hyundai HCD 14: My first glimpse of Hyundai's luxo-barge concept came from a rear three-quarters perspective. From here, I loved what I saw – the car's sides are muscular but clean; the cabin is dramatically waaaaaay back; and the cabin design is tidy. Then I happened to walk up front. I'm not sure I quite agree with Robert Cumberford's anatomical analogy (#sphincter), but the front fascia looks like an afterthought – it's nowhere as seductive or sorted as the other 98% of the car. Pity, as I was so close to naming this a show hit.
–Chevrolet Silverado Display: I'm underwhelmed with GM's full-size trucks by and large, but I'm even more let down by the caliber of the display they're placed on here at NAIAS. Look, I'm okay with not letting the public into your early prototype builds and letting them interact with interior materials that aren't quite up to snuff, but if you're going to display a mock-up of the instrument panel for us to inspect, you might want to re-think showing a cluster display screen that indicates there's a glitch with the forward-facing camera.
Also, whoever orchestrated the timeline of Chevy Truck history with 1/24-scale models overlooked one detail: the so-called 1918 Chevy was, actually, a Ford Model T – as evidenced by the "Ford" script on the grille. Thankfully, the Ford replica disappeared from the case by Tuesday afternoon.

I'm a Celebrity Blog:
Posh boy Hugo Taylor is out.
What a gesture of romance. Posh boy Hugo Taylor swept his girlfriend and co-star Natalie Joel off her feet when he left the jungle last night.
The couple smooched and cuddled as he sauntered across the bridge to Ant and Dec.
Despite complaining throughout the show and telling everyone that he couldn't wait to get home, Hugo said he would have liked to make it to the end. Ah well, we're sure he'll take comfort in the arms of his missus.
But never mind Hugo, we were more surprised to hear that jungle heartthrob David was also in the bottom two. It seems that possessing washboard abs and a knockout arse just isn't enough for the fickle I'm A Celeb viewers. But how has super grump Eric Bristow doing so well? We don't get it – his whining, crap jokes, talk of dart tournaments - who does this appeal to?
Last night also saw the celebs take part in the Jungle Walk of Shame. And this time all the celebs were desperate to take part. Apparently it breaks the day up and gives the celebrities something to do during the day.
Pussycat doll Ash joked that she was the best candidate for the trial as she'd done plenty of 'walks of shame' in her lifetime – ooh-err!
Charlie and Ash were the lucky ones to take part and had the delightful job of climbing through tanks of fish guts and gunge to find those golden stars. There was loads of squealing and shrieking but the girls managed to nab an impressive four out of five stars – go on the girls!
Hugo and David managed to get over their sexual frustration by bashing pinata style spiders in the Dingo Dollar challenge. Hugo said that whacking papier-mâché insects is the perfect way of forgetting those pesky sexual thoughts and desires.
"David is actually quite sexually frustrated at the moment so I think this helped him out with that one," Hugo said. "I'm sure that although he can't bash one out at home, he can bash one out here!" What wit.
She may have left the camp but Rosie is still getting the camp mates chatting. The five were asked to guess who had lost the most weight in the jungle and were shocked to hear that celebrity chef Rosemary had managed to lose a whopping 31 pounds.
Ashley wondered what Rosemary must have been eating before entering the jungle. Eric said: "She must have been a pig. She doesn't really look any better with losing all that lot, she needs to lose a lot more yet." Eric Bristow; darts player and all round charmer.

Ingram said Tuesday that he's been encouraged by supporters to look at the 2014 governor's race. Ingram said he won't decide on the race until after this year's legislative session.
The freshman senator from West Memphis had been a supporter of McDaniel, who announced Friday he was dropping out of the race due to questions about an admitted extramarital relationship.
Other Democrats are also considering a run for the office, including Highway Commissioner John Burkhalter. Former Lt. Gov. Bill Halter announced Friday he was running. Former Congressman Asa Hutchinson is the only announced Republican candidate.

This Week in Music, April 9, 2013: Paramore is less
Paramore: Paramore
New release (Fueled by Ramen; tour dates)
I'll never forget my first encounter with Paramore. It wasn't at a gig or on the radio. It came in the pages of a magazine: a backstage photo taken around the time of 2007's Riot! And I have to be honest: My focus wasn't on the band but on its singer, Hayley Williams. Underneath that flame of orange-red hair, with her head cocked elatedly to the side, she was laughing as if there was no tomorrow. Now that's rock & roll, I thought, wondering if she (um, the band) sounded as full of youthful excitement as she looked.
She (and they) did, 6 years ago. Problem is, there are tomorrows, and rock & roll has a nasty habit of eating its young. What this meant for Paramore was that brothers/co-founders Josh and Zac Farro left in 2010, on somewhat amicable terms (according to a statement on the band's site) or certainly not (according to a follow-up statement by the Farros).
Today, Williams & Co. are soldiering on as a trio, with Jeremy Davis still on bass and Taylor York assuming Josh's lead-guitar slot in addition to his own rhythm role (but with no one filling Zac's drum stool, which is borrowed here by York and guest Ilan Rubin). And, yes, they're still a band, they say; hence the decision to name their new album Paramore. According to yet another statement, their aim is true: "To show people that you can lose battles but come back and win full-on wars. You can rise from ashes. You can make something out of even less than nothing. The only thing you have to do is keep moving forward!"
In case you didn't get the point, the album opens with Williams declaring that they're driving "Fast in My Car," leaving all that nastiness behind: "We only see what's in front of us / We only see straight ahead." The album ends with her thinking of the "Future," insisting, "We don't talk about the past."
Methinks the lady doth protest too much. "Moving forward"? Here's what Williams sings on "Interlude (Moving On)": "Let 'em soak in the sun / Sit back and let 'em have their fun / Let 'em spill their guts / Cuz one day they're gonna slip on 'em." She immediately tries to temper this by singing, "Well, I could be angry, but you're not worth the fight" — yet in the wake of the way she spat out the word guts, there's no denying the continuing fury of a frontwoman scorned. Or, as she contradicts herself on "Interlude (I'm Not Angry Anymore)," trying but failing to hide it in a joke: "It depends on the day / The extent of all my worthless rage."
Phew. All of this is rather grim. Still . . . okay, fine, there have been breakup albums of all sorts before, many of them stimulating. So if the music of Paramore can cut it, then by all means, bring on the bile!
Ah . . . no such luck. Despite the band's claim that this new beginning "allowed us the freedom to explore new territory artistically and to liberate ourselves as musicians," the sound of Paramore is the sound of [insert any generic postgrunge purveyor here]. In cahoots with producer Justin Meldal-Johnson, the band has stripped nearly all the joie de vivre from its onetime pop-spunk attitude, resorting to midtempo, sludgy riffing. Occasionally, things loosen up with verses that are spiky (first single "Now") or spiffy (second single "Still Into You"), but then comes the heavy hand of the chorus and we're back in the land of the ordinary. And although the entire track of "Grow Up" tries to be elastic, it's hampered by the thick sonics. Most telling, the nearly 8-minute "Future," which begins interestingly as a bit of a muse, ends with a repeated bludgeoning.
All told, Paramore suffers from the absence of Josh's catchy pen and Zac's nimble percussion. It also suffers from the presence of too many tracks: At 64 minutes, it's about 20 minutes too long.
Supposedly inspirational song title: "Ain't It Fun." When I think back to that old magazine photo and then see the cover of this album, with a morose Williams shifting her eyes warily to the side, all I can say is: Fun, it ain't. What a shame.
John Medeski: A Different Time
New release (OKeh/Sony; tour dates)
Photo by Michael Bloom
You might think there's a lot riding on this album, being the first release under the revived imprint of the historic jazz label OKeh. Accordingly, you might think John Medeski would bring his Hammond B3 organ and his wide assortment of other electronic keyboards for a big, guest-filled blowout resembling Medeski Martin & Wood and how.
Think again. A Different Time finds Medeski on a completely divergent road, making a solo-acoustic-piano recording that is the very definition of pensive. The first three tracks set the tone: Whether it's the tentative toe-dipping he offers in his title song, the gentle lyricism he draws from Willie Nelson's "I'm Falling in Love Again," or the tonal colors he splashes over the traditional spiritual "His Eye Is on the Sparrow," Medeski is ever thoughtful, as if reflecting calmly on each note he plays.
The remaining six tracks are all originals, and two of them have Medeski looking back, to the attractive, descending melody of "Otis" (a composition that originally appeared on Notes from the Underground, MMJ's 1992 debut) and the sweetly innocent tune of "Waiting at the Gate" (from a musical that he wrote in his teens). But the most affecting pieces are "Luz Marina" and "Graveyard Fields." The first is a solemn reverie, written for the late founder of a Peruvian orphanage (and named for her first adopted child). The second is a three-layered marvel, with high figures spilling above stately middle themes and a constant burble below — all describing the changing elevation of a real vista that, far from being a cemetery, is actually a pastoral valley in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The album's subtle sound derives not only from Medeski's touch but also from his choice of piano. He had already done some recordings on a 9-foot Steinway Concert D when producer Henry Hirsch suggested he try the other acoustic piano on hand: a 7-foot Gaveau, a French instrument made in a premodern style. The intimacy of the Gaveau fits perfectly with the album's placid mood.
That mood was also enhanced by the recording venue itself: Waterfront Studios, built in a restored 19th-century church in New York's Hudson Valley. Then there was the different time of the sessions: late at night. In his liner notes, Medeski advises that we, too, should wait until deep dark for listening, "when social responsibilities are over, when the political questions of the day have been dealt with . . . when all needs and wants have been put to momentary rest . . . when you are tired of words, and you are ready to yield to the sounds of these simple contemplations."
That's how I heard the album, close to midnight, all computers and cellphones off, as I took notes with pen on pad. I was in my listening room, not on a gadget — because, as Medeski reminds us, "There was a time when people used to sit down and listen to music, when it wasn't just the soundtrack of your life . . . when we, as human beings, really got lost in the sound."
Something tells me your own audio system has been waiting patiently for a night like that. Go on, take this album there, listen, and get lost. It'll make all the difference.
Todd Rundgren: State
New release (Esoteric Antenna/Cherry Red; U.K. import; tour dates)
Photo courtesy of Esoteric
Listening room? Audio system? Sound quality? If he read what I just wrote above, Todd Rundgren would likely accuse me of being all warm and fuzzy.
Here, after all, is what he recently told an interviewer at classicrockrevisited.com: "I don't think, at any point, I ever saw sound as a fixed thing. I saw it as an important component, but I didn't think there was a way that things had to sound. Quite obviously, most listeners don't either. It is impossible to control the circumstance under which someone listens to your music. It has never been more impossible than it is now. You've got half the people using ten-dollar earbuds that came with their player. You've got others who have 5,000 watts of bottom end in their car so you can hear them coming from a mile off. The whole idea that there is one way that sound should be has lost its potency, and it is not even an argument that I care to get into."
Well, we could have that argument all day. . . .
As for the music of State, are we talking Todd Is God or excessively odd? The likely answer, as usual: something in between. I wasn't able to preview the album, but a press release says that, despite the acoustic guitar he's shown wielding above, "Todd's latest musical vision is a contemporary fusion of rock, soul, and electronica." Apparently, the last of those three genres gets the most emphasis, with Rundgren having been inspired by checking out current-version practitioners like Skrillex and David Tipper. Meanwhile, on the Deluxe Edition's bonus CD of a 2012 Amsterdam concert, Rundgren and the Metropole Orchestra perform symphonic arrangements of songs going all the way back to "Can We Still Be Friends," "Hello It's Me," and "We Gotta Get You a Woman."
James Blake: Overgrown
New release (Atlas/Republic; tour dates)

If Todd Rundgren is indeed attempting "a contemporary fusion" of elements including soul and electronica, he might have added James Blake to his list of inspirations. The London-born singer/writer/producer's self-titled debut was nominated for Britain's prestigious Mercury Prize in 2011. This is the follow-up, with guest collaborators including Brian Eno and RZA.

YORBA LINDA – When Gary Brattain hung an ornament with his son's photo on a Christmas tree at the Nixon library, he knew it wasn't only an honor for his family but a symbol of acknowledgment for other families whose sons or daughters served in the armed forces.
"Our young men and women serving now have not only awakened the nation to remember those who served in the military in Korea, Vietnam, World Wars I and II," said Brattain, whose son, Pfc. Joel K. Brattain, was killed in 2004. "When they recognize my son, they recognize what he stood for in that band of brothers."
Brattain of Yorba Linda was one of 38 fallen service members from Southern California who were honored Sunday in an emotional ceremony hosted at the library by the Richard Nixon Foundation. Currently serving military also were honored in what was the third annual Hometown Heroes Christmas tree dedication. More than 140 local members of the armed forces were recognized at the ceremony – including those who served in Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam and Korea.
Families of the military hung personalized ornaments on the Hometown Heroes Christmas tree, which will be on display at the library until Jan. 2. More than 450 people filled the White House East Room of the library to honor the service members and families.
Attendance was nearly double last year's event, organizers said. This year's gathering also recognized Vietnam veterans and 9/11 victim Lisa Frost of Rancho Santa Margarita, who died while aboard the plane that hit the World Trade Center south tower 11 years ago. The ceremony also recognized Medal of Honor winner Petty Officer 2nd Class/SEAL Michael Monsoor from Garden Grove. Monsoor was killed in 2006.
"It's always an honor to know that Lisa is not forgotten," said Tom Frost. "She is one face but represents all the people who died that day. To think that Lisa is maybe on the same level as the brave service men and women honored here is truly remarkable. She would be so grateful."
For Terry Griffke, a corporal in the Marine Corps who served in Vietnam, the acknowledgment of those who fought in his war was unexpected but welcome.
Griffke said he was part of the last combat air squadron that flew out of Vietnam in 1973. He still remembers the rejection he felt returning to America, including an occasion where a woman refused to take a seat next to him because he was a Vietnam War veteran.
"What you didn't expect was the rejection you got doing what you thought was right for the country," he said. "We cannot let people forget what war is about – the opportunity to meet in a public place and be free. That's because of all the men and women who served well. Those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, the lives of their families are changed forever."
Griffke agrees with Brattain in the way the mindset of the public has shifted with the recent Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts.
"Today people appreciate and understand the sacrifice," he said. "Today they understand what goes into protecting our freedom."
Moira Fisher was there to honor her son, Martin Fisher, a 24-year-old Navy corpsman. The ceremony was especially poignant for her because one of the fallen service members, Marine Cpl. Claudio Patino, a scout sniper, died in his arms in 2010 in Afghanistan.
"It was the worst day of his life," Fisher of Yorba Linda said. "He was his friend. It's something now he's had to get used to."
Fisher said the event at the library is meaningful because of the support servicemember families now feel.
"We're not isolated," she said. "The country is behind our troops. It means so much that we're honored and appreciated."

I have two computers both with the free ZA firewall. Both XP Pro sp3, same program configurations, though one is a laptop, one a desktop.
On one of the computers ZA loads right away, before the browser is operable. On the laptop, the firewall loads after browser is operable, 5-10 minutes later.
I use Avast, Firefox, Spywareblaster. Had everything disabled on both computers for ZA installation.
Ideally I would like my firewall to load first, or at least right after Avast.
Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.

The iPhone 5's fit and finish are exceptional, with the glass inserts on the rear panel automatically selected from 725 subtly different shapes for the best fit into the aluminium shell.
Pick up an iPhone 5 and it feels impossibly light, yet also rock solid with reassuringly sturdy buttons. The tall, narrow shape is ideal for one-handed operation. See also Group test: What's the best smartphone?
The more corporate-looking BlackBerry Z10 also feels light and its rubberised removable back cover makes it easier to grip the phone. The front looks like the iPhone 5's back, with no buttons. On top is a microphone, headphone socket and power button.
A trio of buttons on the right-hand side control volume and launch the Voice Control service. On the left, you'll find standard micro USB (for charging and sync) and a handy micro HDMI output.
Overall, we've no real complaints about the Z10's design or build, but the plastic rear cover cheapens things somewhat, and the iPhone 5 easily wins the battle, despite its proprietary Lightning connector.
iPhone 5 vs BlackBerry Z10: screen
With similar size screens, there's not a huge difference between the Z10 and iPhone 5 when it comes to displays. Both use IPS panels for wide viewing angles, and they're both bright and have good contrast.
Technically, the Z10 wins this fight by having a higher pixel density.
Both screens are as good for watching videos and playing games as they are for browsing the web and composing emails.
iPhone 5 vs BlackBerry Z10: performance
Both the BlackBerry Z10 and iPhone 5 have dual-core processors, but the BlackBerry has an impressive 2GB RAM - the iPhone has 1GB.
As it stands, none of the usual benchmarks we use are available in BlackBerry World, so we can only report on the SunSpider Javascript results. Here, the Z10 completed the test in 1710ms, but the iPhone 5 managed it in just 903ms.
Those results don't mean much, though, as the Z10 has a zippy browser and doesn't feel any slower than the iPhone 5 in practice. The Z10 also supports Flash.
In our brief gaming tests, we can say that casual games such as Angry Birds play smoothly on the Z10. The iPhone 5 has the faster graphics chip and should give you more frames per second in demanding 3D games.
iPhone 5 vs BlackBerry Z10: software
The BlackBerry Z10 smartphone runs BlackBerry 10, it's an intuitive system which uses a lot of swiping rather than button presses. Navigating around the OS is quick and easy, and it feels slick.
It feels more cohesive than iOS at times, as you can quickly switch between running apps, close them down, swipe right to your email or the BlackBerry Hub, or swipe left to see all your installed apps.
In iOS, you have to master the art of the Home button double-press to show running apps, then tap and hold to switch to 'wiggle mode' where you can close apps. It's one area where Apple's system simply isn't as good.
The BlackBerry has far fewer apps, though. Quite a few big-name apps are missing.
iPhone 5 vs BlackBerry Z10: battery
Both will get you through an entire day with moderate use, but neither can carry you through a second without needing a top-up.
iPhone 5 vs BlackBerry Z10: storage
The iPhone 5 is available in 16, 32 and 64GB capacities, and you can't add more via a memory card. By contrast there's only a 16GB model of the Z10, but it has a microSD slot which will accept up to 64GB cards.
iPhone 5 vs BlackBerry Z10: cameras
Here, the iPhone 5 is a stunner. Like all phone cameras, it performs pretty poorly in very low light, but as long as there's daylight and you're not trying to capture ever-moving small children, you will get excellent shots.
The Blackberry Z10 has similarly specified front and rear cameras, and a rear-mounted LED flash. We like the fact that the whole screen is used as a viewfinder; along with the bigger screen, it's easier to compose photos on the Z10 than the iPhone 5. There's also the option of shooting 16:9 or 4:3. The iPhone doesn't allow you to choose: it shoots in 4:3 only. To take a photo on the Z10 you can use one of the volume buttons or simply tap the screen anywhere.
For video, the iPhone 5 narrowly wins.
iPhone 5 vs BlackBerry Z10: verdict
Two excellent smartphones offering great performance, display, build quality and camera. For us the iPhone just edges it because of its better app support and marginally better build quality. But buy either of these phones and you won't be disappointed.

Puma Stepper
Puma has unearthed a time capsule and inside amongst the treasure trove of retro designs they have found the classic Puma Stepper.
Still with its original leather ankle collar and suede coating, it is as though it had never left the shelves. Along with its fellow golden oldie, Puma Trinomic XT1, the Puma Stepper has been much missed and we are excited to see it available again after its original release in 1984.

Sun 'n Fun Wrap: Drifting
The major shows like Sun 'n Fun and AirVenture may be imperfect reflections of the industry they promote, but they are nonetheless reflections. And the image I saw this week in the mirror of attendees, vendors and perhaps even fellow journalists was of a general aviation community that's adrift, lacking a sense of what the next direction will be and definitely sensing a sea change with no clear inkling of how the market is evolving or what it's evolving to. There may also be an understanding approaching consensus that nothing on the horizon is going to change the fact that the masses just aren't that interested in flying airplanes, no matter how passionately we believe we're just not packaging the message correctly.
If you've seen us darting around at these shows, you know that we wear bright, chrome-green newsteam shirts. We do that for a reason. We want to be stopped and engaged, as we are many times a day. And every year, the questions are the same: What have you seen? What's your sense of the show? But this year, I turned that around and asked readers and viewers their opinions. None of the responses surprised me. I must have asked several dozen people what they thought about the FAA's tower closings, the state of the market and what they wanted to see at Sun 'n Fun�both aspirationally and specifically ahead of actually buying something.
Many commented on the lack of new airframes. But what can we expect, really? Sales have been anemic for four-plus years now and as I've pointed out, even with Wall Street soaring, aircraft sales remain soft. There's a sense of having entered a period in which this is the new normal. Not that I blame manufacturers in the slightest. What rational business person would spend multiples of millions to certify new products with no strong evidence that the market is waking up? The second half of this year and 2014 may look different. And, in any case, we did see some new experimentals and LSAs and these count for something.
Another source of distraction�and I heard this several times�was that both major GA organizations are now leaderless. And while AOPA and EAA don't necessarily drive sales, they do set a certain tone and the fact the members don't have the slightest idea where these two organizations are going doesn't sit well. I find myself wondering if part of the sea change is a growing sense that these two organizations have less relevance. Let's see what happens when they get new leadership, which I hope happens sooner rather than later. Jack Pelton, EAA's chairman of the board, said the organization's search has been suspended until after AirVenture.
That leaves companies of all sizes to fend for themselves, finding business and growth where they might. Redbird Flight Simulations continues to impress as a company moving forward with innovative ways to train pilots more effectively and economically. Whether this will put a measurable dent in the erosion of the pilot population is an unknown, but it pencils out to me. My former colleague Jeff Van West was demonstrating the new JayBird system, a purpose-made desktop simulator intended to introduce scenario-based training in an affordable format. Redbird CEO Jerry Gregoire asked if I thought a $2500 dedicated box would be a player. Frankly, I haven't a clue; nothing quite like this has appeared before. It's fresh new ground. What it represents is a creative melding of available technologies into a hitherto unseen whole. My guess is if it doesn't make a difference, what it leads to might.
One rising trend is spurred by the manufacturers emerging grasp of what we've been saying for years: New airplanes are just too expensive. Although there's plenty of wealth out there, real wages are flat or in decline, but the price curve on airplanes has been going in the opposite direction. I'm reminded of a story Premier Aircraft's Fred Ahles told me once. When he started out selling for Cessna in the Midwest, he could find plenty of airplane customers among autoworkers. Not anymore.
So sales efforts now focus on wealthier clients, but there's a clear effort to make aircraft affordable by engineering group or multi-member buying or other creative approaches to getting people into airplanes. John Armstrong, a Diamond dealer, is having good success doing this with DiamondShare and told me he's selling about as much as he can, which is a couple of airplanes a month. At Tecnam North America, Phil Solomon is about to launch a couple of aircraft access programs that envision leasing programs similar to the auto industry and a block-time sales effort for pilots needing to build time at economical rates. We'll have a podcast on this later in the week. Although it wasn't at the show, Cirrus did announce this week an aircraft access idea of its own, which would allow non-pilots to buy a Cirrus and for an additional sum, have what's essentially their own corporate flight department to get them trained to fly. The Aviation Access Project has its own version of making flying more affordable, primarily based around light sport aircraft.
Following the Aircraft Electronics Association show in Las Vegas last month, I commented on the profusion of small, specialized boxes meant to stitch cockpits together into a modern whole, with ADS-B. What's really needed is a single-product solution that puts everything into one box�flight instruments, radios, transponder and ADS-B. This is no fever swamp delusion. The major players�Garmin, Aspen, Bendix/King, Avidyne�know this as well as any of us. I have a strong inkling that these products have moved beyond the conceptual stage and that you'll see the first market overhanging version in 18 months to two years. It won't cost $25,000, but not $10,000, either. My guess is high teens somewhere. The only question is, who announces it first? The demand for this could be strong as the 2020 ADS-B mandate approaches, but I'll wager it won't be as strong as some people think. There's a resignation out there. Many owners will simply exit aviation or just restrict themselves to airspace that doesn't require ADS-B. (I'll certainly be doing that in the Cub.)
And that brings us to a common thread in my conversations at Sun 'n Fun. With so many portable ADS-B options, there's massive confusion about what these have to do with the mandate. Nothing, of course. They're simply the sharp point of the wedge of the next tech wave. But welcome as they are as a choice for some, none of them address the ADS-B out requirement. They are the 2013 equivalent of Garmin's 1998 GPSMap 90�a mere signpost on the road to what comes next. And what's that likely to be? I heard speculation about adding air data to portable ADS-B boxes that already include AHRS. Easy in an LSA, I'd guess, but less so in a spam can.
Likely or not, I'm ready to be surprised�or not�about what comes next.

Fish Tales
This year's Wilkins Brothers Big Bass Classic was presented with a number of obstacles from the very beginning. The first morning, April 16, proved to be a turnback toward winter with howling winds, frigid temperatures and white-capping waves all across the lake and river.
Add to that the fact that it was the opening morning of turkey season in Arkansas. Who other than my buddy, Rick Crawford, could possibly kill a turkey in those kind of conditions? It was an impossible morning to be fishing, much less turkey hunting.
Throw in the Arkansas Derby in Hot Springs and add to it the nationally televised Arkansas Razorback red-white game in Fayetteville, and folks had more options that particular Saturday than have ever been available in the Natural State.
Despite all the obstacles, close to 200 hundred brave anglers showed up in search of taking home the top prize of $10,000 and tons of hourly money that was paid out each hour for two days.
First place each hour was worth $500, second place $400, third place $300 and fourth place $200, which made braving the conditions a lot more bearable, especially for the anglers who made several trips back and forth from their fishing hole to the Lake Dardanelle State Park weigh-in pavilion.
Two anglers who were particularly glad they showed up when all was said and done was Big Bass Classic winner Mark Smith and his partner, Tim Young, who had to endure several fish crossing the scales and even a big scare from Jerry Freeman before actually realizing they had pulled off the unthinkable and captured the event's top prize.
We had Mark's wife at the weigh-in a few hours before the actual end of the tournament, and emcee Zach King got her to concede that she would share a little of the money with her husband, who was soon to be crowned the 2011 Big Bass Classic winner.
The father and son duo of Jerry and Joey Freeman were regulars at the scales throughout the weekend. As most of you know, I did the radio coverage for this year's event (a big thanks goes to KCJC), and these two were there every hour or so, it seemed.
The funny part was that seven out of eight or so times they came to the scales, it was Joey weighing the fish. I was constantly giving Jerry a hard time, when finally, he got a fish out of the boat and headed to the scales on April 17 with what would eventually be the day-two winner which netted him $5,000.
I did finally let him know if he was only going to bring one fish to the scales, he had indeed brought the right one.
Fortunately for Jerry, he took advantage of the near-perfect conditions on day two that were simply the polar opposite of day one. That Sunday turned out to be a gorgeous day, and a huge crowd showed up for the day's final weigh-in and the awards presentation.
The biggest single thing that made this tournament a huge success was all the anglers who participated, as each day the weigh-ins were flawless and everyone obeyed the rules and the no-wake zone at the state park, which made running this event quite simple.
Day two saw nearly 50 more anglers sign up to fish, as the weather and lack of competition from other events improved, making it a record turnout.
Even more amazing was the fact that we didn't lose one single fish throughout the entire event, which says volumes about our facility, state park director Andy Thomas and the entire state park staff, who do an incredible job event after event.
It's no wonder folks all across the country look forward to coming to Lake Dardanelle year after year, just to do a little fishing!

Evaluating a Proposed 20% National Renewable Portfolio Standard
This paper provides a preliminary analysis of the impacts of a proposed 20% national renewable portfolio standard (RPS) by 2021, which has been advanced in the U.S. Congress by Senator Jeff Bingaman of New Mexico. The paper was prepared before the America Recovery and Reinvestment Act was signed into law by President Barack Obama on February 17, 2009, and thus does not consider important changes in renewable energy (RE) policy that need to be addressed in follow-on analysis. We use NREL's Regional Energy Deployment System (ReEDS) model to evaluate the impacts of the RPS requirements on the energy sector and consider design issues associated with renewable energy certificate (REC) trading markets.

St. Patrick's Day: Irish promote health in Africa
On this St. Patrick's Day, I am honored to have the chance to tell all of our committed supporters about the work World Vision's advocates in Ireland are doing to assist communities in six African nations.
* * *
AIM Health
I want to introduce one particular program that we are particularly proud of: AIM Health.
The Access Infant and Maternal Health Program -- or AIM Health -- tackles the issues of preventable child deaths. Have a look at this graphic to understand what I mean. (Click here to open in a larger window.)
Our goals
Our goals are set! We want to reduce infant and maternal mortality rates by 25 percent by 2015. AIM Health will benefit over 75,000 pregnant women and another 75,000 children (aged 0-24 months); and over 2,000 community health workers will be trained to deliver our health messages to households in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Mauritania, and Sierra Leone.
It's already begun
Already a lot of work has been done. Our staff members on the ground have been recruited and, in turn, are training health facilitators. We have been working with national ministries of health to receive their full cooperation and are registering eligible women for the program.
How we fund it
In a time when all you hear from Ireland is about our economic struggles, it would be easy for our government to step away from foreign aid. Instead, it is the government and its Irish Aid branch that are fully funding this project. They see how it will change lives for the better.
And you are involved, too! World Vision donors in the United States are also funding an AIM Health project in Uganda, as well as distributing treated bed nets for malaria prevention in the Busia district of Uganda. Together, we are also working to drill boreholes for clean water in a number of African nations.
A bond between two nations
So you see the bond between our nations is as strong as ever -- in our heritage and in our work together to make the world a better place!
From all of us here in Ireland, thank you for supporting World Vision and our work across the globe.
And of course, St. Patrick's Day blessings to you, your family, and friends.

Evelyn Wolf is the head of marketing and fundraising for the World Vision office in Dublin, Ireland.
For about $1 a day, child sponsorship helps provide a child in need with access to life-saving basics like clean water, healthcare, nutritious food, and more. Sponsor a child in Uganda or another country of your choice today!
