DJM-400 Limited
2-Channel Professional DJ Mixer (Limited Edition)
- Limited Edition Cobalt Blue 2-channel DJ mixer
- Features in-loop sampler, special beat effects and 3-band isolator
- Only available here on pioneerelectronics.com
This limited edition black on black mixer (DJM-400-K) gives you all the functionality of the DJM-400 with an edge. The collector edition version of this popular mixer will stand out with its unique cobalt blue illumination.
In-Loop Sampler
An intelligent 24bit/96kHz sampler automatically detects the tempo of a song during playback, sampling it for a length of 4 beats then loops the sample. Since the sampled sound is in sync with the beat of the tune being played, no matter the tempo, it enables live remixing like never before.
Samples are automatically stretched and compressed to match the beat. The DJM-400-K will store five samples onboard for a total of 12 seconds of sample time.
Each channel has 3-band isolator EQ with full cut capability. The EQ ranges from +9dB to -∞ (infinity) for total control of the sound.
Onboard Effects
Onboard effects automatically detect the beats per minute of the music and sync to the beats. The DJM-400-K includes seven onboard effects: Delay, Echo, Filter, Flanger, Phaser, Robot and Roll. All effects are processed at 24bits for the highest quality sound. A new Beat Select button allows more intuitive and aggressive DJ playing and remixing.
More Key Features:
- The ability to select either of two microphone connections or one stereo line connection
- A fader start so playback can be started by simply sliding the cross fader or channel fader when connected to a Pioneer CDJ product
- A peak level meter so the DJ can check audio input levels for each channel or for the master
- A Talk Over feature that automatically lowers track volume for the DJ to speak over the track

Joomla 3.0 and Mootools
The information in this article has been transcribed from the Joomla! User eXperience (JUX) Webinar. This was a webinar upload in early June of 2012, in which Kyle Ledbetter (lead of the Joomla JUX project) discusses upcoming changes in Joomla 3.0
General thoughts on Joomla 3.0 and Mootools
Joomla 3.0 will now ship with jquery in the core because bootstrap was designed to work with it and the goal is to get all of main core functions working over on jquery. It will also ship with mootools for compatibility reasons but we're trying to get everything on the same page and I think a lot of developers are going to be excited about this because a large amount of them are already loading jquery on their own because it's easier to develop with, it has more rapid deployment. So it's really a chance to be a great equalizer and get us all on the same page.
What is the status of Mootools going forward?
Mootools will still ship, but it's not going to be the primary javascript library for the interfaces. So if people are truly using Mootools for things it is great at like frameworks, they can still use it. The good thing now is that all these different people loading different versions of jquery and breaking things because they'd rather use jquery can now unite on a core version of jquery, which will be the latest of course, but typically javascript in joomla is plug and play and is used for simply things such as user interface interactions. That's why we're going with jquery, plus the fact that it works with bootstrap. But mootools will still ship, and we're going to work as hard as possible to make sure everything is as compatible as possible.
How is the transition from Mootools to jQuery going to be, are they going to live together?
Jquery and mootools already live together all the time in Joomla 2.5. The focus is now going to move to jquery. So a lot of developers will probably update their components to primarily use jquery , but a lot of them honestly are already doing that, but there is a select few that really prefer mootools.

Motorola KRZR K1
Info Photos News Forum 100+ Reviews
Average Ratings
Junk Junk Junk
I got this phone 5 months ago and started having problems with it within a month. The phone would be on and look like it was in full working mode. My husband and kids would tell me they called several time I would have no missed calls. Only when I would try to make a call I would realize the phone was not working. Happened several times. Finally called AT&T and got a refurb. Well within the last 3 weeks have sent back two more with the same exact problem. No good would not suggest this phone to anyone.
Got it 4 days ago and it is going right back.
This phone does not allow scrolling down the phone book by the letters. Having over 150 contacts on my list to get to the middle of it requires minimum 75 clicks. Motorola tech support confirmed this feature is not available on KRZR's although user manual says otherwise. Ridiculous? I think it is. Makes this phone useless for most of us.
Software is so slow that while dialing a long number the keypad does not keep up with my finger.
Very limited PC connectivity.
Beautiful jewel like design.
Unlike RAZR 2 this one uses the same charger as most RAZR's
Hello Nokia, BybyMoto!
AD reviews continues below...
GREAT phone!
I have had this phone for almost a month so far and am very impressed! I used to have the RAZR, and this is definitely a better phone! The battery life is great as is the selection and volume of the ring tones! You can also download a program from Motorola to add personal photos and ringtones from your PC! I highly recommend this phone!
Pleasantly surprised
I wanted to get the Motorola W385, but the cell phone place wasn't able to cut me the best deal. They suggested the Motorola Krzr, and I was able to get the rebate instantly, therefore, getting the phone free as a new customer. I expected to not like the phone, as there have been some serious problems with the Razr in the past, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Pros: Great reception (Verizon - Southeast TN/Chattanooga area) excellent speakerphone and earpiece volume, bluetooth connects seamlessly, easy to navigate. screen quality is good, and the battery life continues to get better with each charge. I got the red one, and it is an attractive, comfortable phone to hold and use.
Cons: same old...fingerprint magnet, my 9 button has to be hit in just the right spot. Also, there is no handsfree 2.5 mm jack - that forced me to have to go out and spend money on the bluetooth. Thats it! I don't use the MP3 feature, so I can't complain about that.
Highly, and surprisingly, recommend this phone!
I'm KRZR about this phone!
This sleek blue slice is SWEET. It has a 2mp camera, music player, awesome phone book capacity, good sound quality, sleek- mirror like screen, but unfortunately unlike its cdma version, it does not have touch compasitant music keys.
Music Player
Call Quality
Ringing Volume is LOUD
Small keys
bad internal screen
key sometimes fails
SLOW, can even begin to tell you
Oh, and did I mention the CoSt!!
Disappointed with this phone
I've not been a bit impressed with this phone, and in fact it's been quite a headache.
My main complaint about it is how SLOW it is. It's like an elephant in peanut butter. When you go from menu to menu it takes a very long time, not a bit snappy. Also, one picture will consume the entire memory. Even with an added card, and items set to store to the card, the phone is frustratingly slow. After using it for two days, I took it in to make sure that it was working optimally, and they assured me that it was, it just is what it is. So, if you like your tech to be quick, this is not the phone for you.
3 text messages are about all it can store without coming to a grinding halt.
The mp3 player took a day's worth (13 hours) of work-arounds to get it to work, and even at that, it's not very functional.
It makes calls, it connects, that's about all it has going for it. I'll be switching phones asap.
Not Krazy about Krazor
My daughter and I both purchased Krazors about two months ago. I certainly glad we got them on a phone update price through Verizon rather than pay the $400 price.
We were excited about the phone's sleek look and pretty color choices. It's small and easy to slip into your pocket.
But for this phone, beauty is only skin deep. It's very flimsy. My daughter's front cover cracked in less than a month. She's 29 and takes good care of her phone. She has never dropped it, crushed it or otherwise abused it. She just pulled it out of her pocket one day and it was cracked. We've since found others who have had this same problem.
Mine hasn't cracked, yet, but the battery cover keeps falling off. The tabs to hold it in are too small and don't seat properly.
Also, the keyboard is difficult to see in daylight.
When selecting my next phone, I won't be taken in by looks. Now we're stuck with two substandard phones for two years.
Only a few complaints
Had the phone for 3 months now. Mostly loving it! A few things...
-sleek and stylish, fits nicely in hand and back pocket.
-holding up nicely for being dropped and sat on quite a bit.
-awesome camera
-big screen
-keys feel good, easy to text and call
-menus not as fast as anticipated
-internet not nearly as fast as anticipated
-no place to plug in a headset?
-USB cover will eventually break
Moto krzr is premium
i have always been a customer of motorola products and still to this very day i love my razr. being time for change i decided to purchase an unlocked moto krzr in blk.
likes :
*battery life is superb
*strong signal strength
*sd memory card slot
*loud ringer and decent vibe.
dislikes :
*call volume could be louder
*shiney finish and rubbery back
are prone to finger smudges
*my prefrence not as sleek as the rzr and truthfully i may purchase a new silver rzr
Nice paperweight
We bought two new KRZR phones direct from Motorola about two months ago and have been fighting the things ever since. After a week, we realized that the phones were totally unreliable (we're using Cingular) and that some of the features - like distinctive ring - don't work at all (verified by Motorola). Since the phones are unlocked, there's no software 'fix' available for Cingular use -
The phones often ring using a strange ringer, and often simply don't ring at all. One phone will start buzzing four short buzzes followed by a pause, and the phone locks up. Buttons don't work, can't receive a call, etc.
When we tried to return the phones, we were told that because they had been used more than 45 minutes, we could only return them for "service." Forty-five minutes is the blink of an eye in our business, and Motorola's return policy is useless to us.
And because Motorola identified the problems we're having as being a design flaw that may be corrected by a software upgrade "sometime in the future," servicing them wouldn't accomplish a thing.
We're still trying to get the matter resolved, but Motorola has been totally unresponsive - they mark our case as "solved" every 48 hours, even though the case is far from solved.
We're very disappointed, not just in the quality of these phones (they DO look good, though!) but in Motorola's lack of interest. All we wanted was to return the phones either for a credit or in exchange for another type of phone that worked as advertised, and they've not been willing to do either.
We're using our "backup" phones now because the KRZRs are totally unreliable and unacceptable for our business use. Stay away from this one, especially if you're a Cingular customer.

Cisco: Don't Fret Chambers Comments on Economy, White Box, Says Goldman
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Goldman Sachs's networking analyst Simona Jankowski today attempted to put to rest some concerns about Cisco Systems (CSCO) raised in recent weeks, whose shares she rates a Buy.
After meeting with 30 investors last week, Jankowski reflects on what seems to be the chief concern, namely some remarks by Cisco CEO John Chambers that cast doubt upon the global economy. As I wrote in an article two weeks ago, Chambers, in an interview with Barron's editors, stated that "This is the first time in my career that I don't have a strong opinion which way this goes" with respect to macroeconomic trends, explaining that he is seeing so much "mixed data" from different regions of the world.
Jankowski writes that investors are reading too much into it, and Chambers's remarks weren't new:
Many investors expressed concerns over CEO John Chambers' mixed commentary on a CNBC interview on September 25. While Mr. Chambers highlighted solid growth in the US and improving trends in Europe, he also cited mixed trends in emerging markets and Asia-Pacific, and noted that CEOs are "a little more cautious" than last quarter, partly due to the impact from the US Federal slowdown and concerns over the debt ceiling. Our view is that Mr. Chambers' comments were consistent with Cisco's previously issued guidance and commentary on an "inconsistent" global environment on the earnings call; in fact, Mr. Chambers reiterated that none of his comments should be read as pertaining to Cisco's quarter. That said, to the extent the Federal shutdown lingers and concerns into the debt ceiling escalate, we could see Cisco's guidance being impacted not only by lower Federal demand, but also by reduced CEO confidence more broadly. If that scenario were to occur, we would still prefer Cisco to other stocks in our coverage on a relative basis, given the company's strong execution, ongoing share gains, and discount multiple, which we believe will make it a relative outperformer in an environment where most enterprise-oriented companies may be taking estimates down. Note that this is not our current view, but something we are watching closely as events in Washington, D.C. unfold over the next 2 weeks.
Jankowski also refers specifically to another article I wrote the same day, in which Chambers frankly admits that the company faces threats from "white box" vendors of networking -- an admission that she thinks is a good thing, and nothing that should worry investors overly much:
Investors also cited Mr. Chambers' comments in a Barron's interview on September 26 that "IT as a service and white label will be our biggest competitors three to five years out", citing Amazon as an example of a competitor with 5% margins vs. Cisco's 65%. We don't view these comments as anything new, and in fact we view Cisco's accurate assessment of the competitive landscape as positive as it implies the company is investing in the right direction, rather than hiding form or denying industry trends. Recall that a few years ago Mr. Chambers was highlighting Huawei as a top competitor, and we believe that threat is now diminished, partly as a result of Cisco's significant investment in architectural and software-rich solutions that helped it distance itself from that competitor. We see a similar dynamic occurring around SDN.
Cisco shares today are down 13 cents, or 0.6%, at $22.89.

Two days after getting snubbed, Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital officials scrambled to name a replacement for their open chief executive officer position — picking the head of one of the nation"s largest acute care hospitals Friday.
Pete Delgado, CEO of the Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Healthcare Network, was chosen by the board Thursday night, a day after its first choice — Southern California hospital executive Matt Gerlach — backed out.
Delgado is set to take the helm April 1, and he will earn $450,000 in base pay.
"This was a unanimous decision by our board," Salinas Valley Memorial board president Harry Wardwell said in a statement. "Pete Delgado"s impressive background will be a great benefit to our health care system and to our community."
Hospital spokeswoman Adrienne Laurent said Friday that Delgado had already signed a three-year contract, including an 18-month severance clause. Gerlach backed out over disagreements regarding a proposed four-year contract and 18 months severance, according to hospital officials.
Laurent said Gerlach and Delgado were the two finalists for the CEO position during the second round of an executive search. Two previous top choices declined to take the position after the first round.
Delgado, who worked for nearly a decade at LAC+USC, was responsible for directing the leadership and operations of all health service programs for the network, including the medical center, which serves as the tertiary care hub of the county Department of Health Services and the primary teaching facility of USC"s Keck School of Medicine.
The county-owned 600-bed medical center, also known as L.A. County General, is located near downtown Los Angeles and is one of the largest public hospitals and medical training centers in the nation. It is the largest single provider of health care in the county, and serves as a crucial part of the region"s health care safety net. It includes a Level I trauma center and historically treated more than a quarter of the area"s trauma patients.
Salinas Valley Memorial is competing against county-owned Natividad Medical Center for a Level II trauma center designation.
In 2008, Delgado oversaw the opening of a new $1 billion medical center and the transfer of all inpatients from the hospital to the new facility.
Salinas Valley Memorial needs to construct a new facility to meet state seismic safety standards by 2030.
Delgado previously served as CEO of Kaiser Health Plan and Hospitals in San Rafael and Santa Rosa, and held board positions on the Hospital Association of Southern California, California Health Care Safety Net Institute and California Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems.
Before that, Delgado worked in Texas as CEO of Columbia Valley Regional Medical Center in Brownsville, and as executive vice president and chief operating officer of CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health System in San Antonio.
Delgado received his master of science degree in hospital administration from Texas Woman"s University in Houston, and did his undergraduate work at the University of Houston, receiving a bachelor of science degree in health care administration.
He has also participated in two senior executive programs at Stanford and Harvard universities.
The Hispanic Business magazine recognized Delgado as one of the Top 100 Influential People of 2009.

State Finance Committee Meets In Socorro
SOCORRO, N.M. July 20, 2011 – The state Legislative Finance Committee (LFC), which makes recommendations to the Legislature for funding state government, higher education and public schools, wrapped up a two-day meeting on the New Mexico Tech campus Friday.
| The state Legislative Finance Committee met in Socorro last week and discussed higher education at length.
The committee thanked Dr. Daniel H. López, Tech President, for his hospitality and the fine accommodations afforded members; and state Rep. Don L. Tripp (Dist. 49) for hosting the group at the Tripp home last Thursday evening.
The sessions were informative, covering such issues as unemployment insurance, the Lottery Scholarship, Medicaid fraud; and ended on an optimistic note regarding state revenue for FY12.
The announcement by Demesia Padilla, Secretary for the Taxation and Revenue Department, that the state's General Fund revenue forecast is $111 million greater than anticipated was good news to President López.
"We are cautiously optimistic that the worst of the financial storm may be over," López said. "And we were delighted with the opportunity to host the LFC and bring members up to date on everything New Mexico Tech has to offer to the state and its students."
López echoed the sentiments of the University's faculty and staff in hoping that state finances can bounce back enough to provide some respite from more than three years of budget cuts and frozen salaries.
"Even though personal income was greater than expected over the past year, and oil and gas revenues were 42 percent higher than FY 10, we're in no position to celebrate – at least not yet," said the President.
"But, again, having LFC members on campus did give us an opportunity to underscore the need, which I share with my colleagues across the state, for some good news for our hard-working faculty and staff," he said.
"The numbers are encouraging, but this is no time to go on a spending spree," said Richard May, Secretary for the Department of Finance and Administration (DFA).
An unexpected disaster, such as flooding as a result of recent wildfires, "could eat up the numbers Demesia mentioned," May said, adding that other concerns are the debate in Washington, DC over the debt ceiling and health care reform.
"Medicaid is a wild card," he continued. "We don't know (what to expect) at the moment."
Another issue of statewide concern is how much state employees may have to cough up to offset liabilities in New Mexico's major pension fund, currently estimated in excess of $16 million.
"There are a number of things we could talk about regarding additional spending already in the pipeline," May said, who urged "continued restraint and caution . . . you can see how $111 million in additional revenue can quickly evaporate."
"I'm still concerned there will be a greater demand for state services than the state can cover," he said.
N.M. Legislative Lottery Scholarship
Perhaps the most significant discovery uncovered Friday was that New Mexico high school students are not required to file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to receive the Lottery Scholarship, and thus may be unaware of other financial resources.
"I'm surprised that every college doesn't require a FAFSA," said state Sen. Bernadette Sanchez (Dist. 26) of Albuquerque, a school counselor. "This is good information to know – it (FAFSA) should be a requirement."
"It was certainly enlightening to me that we are not doing what we could do to force students to file an application for federal aid," said state Sen. Sue Wilson Beffort (Dist. 19) of Sandia Park, who indicated that the issue will be addressed at the 2012 Legislative session.
In filing a FAFSA, aside from providing eligible students with a potential source of financial support, the students would provide the university with critical financial information which would help in designing higher educational state support for New Mexico students wishing to attend college.
Discussion followed a presentation by Anne Sturevant, director of Enrollment Services and Access Initiatives with The College Board Advocacy & Policy Center in Duluth, Ga.
Sturevant cited well-worn statistics regarding the educational profile of New Mexico students, in that, according to national 2008 statistics:
- The percentage of students earning high school credentials (diploma or GED) was 80 percent for Hispanics compared with 92 percent for whites;
- Of the 29 percent of Hispanics that enroll in college, only 13 percent will earn a BA degree, compared with 40 percent for whites;
- The national average for students applying for federal Pell loans was 25 percent, compared with 21 percent for New Mexico;
- Educational and per-capital income levels for Hispanics in the state fall below those of whites.
And, unlike growth in New Mexico's neighboring states, its population of students in the educational pipeline shows a stable, relatively flat pattern.
"Hispanic students dominate (statistics), but they lose in getting degrees," Sturevant said.
"Affordability is subjective when people are making decisions without complete information," she said. "They just don't know what they don't know."
Sturevant noted that many high schools in other states require their students to fill out a FAFSA, even if they don't plan to go to college; often this assignment is a curriculum requirement, as established by both school districts and state boards of education.
Two other issues raised during discussions were how to prepare students for college, and how to engage students early.
State Rep. Edward Sandoval (Dist. 17) of Albuquerque quoted New Mexico Tech's López as having seen during his international travels that other countries, particularly China, have students able to sit through very long lectures.
"Not here," Sandoval said. "In addition, our students aren't ready to go to college."
He noted that CNM, formerly Albuquerque's Technical Vocational Institute (TVI) has gotten away from its original mission to provide non-college-bound students with lucrative trade skills.
Sandoval quipped that employees in some technical trades "make more money than Dr. Dan."
"What are we doing wrong?" he asked rhetorically.
Beffort agreed, saying that laying fault was a chicken-and-egg situation.
"We need more accountability for the first three grades," she said, addressing data showing that if students are not engaged by the third grade, their education will be an uphill battle.
Sixty-seven percent of college students in New Mexico graduate within five or six years, according to state Rep. Larry Larrañaga (Dist. 27) of Albuquerque; however, that percentage drops to 9 percent if students have to take two or more remedial classes.
Plus, remediation is expensive. "We have some intervention strategies," said Michelle Arnold, Director for State and Legislative Outreach with The College Board.
"Among benchmarks are how students are doing in the eighth and ninth grades," said Arnold, who did give New Mexico kudos for its Advanced Prep (AP) programs, which she said were "quite impressive, given all the statistics."
State Rep. Tripp said that as a state, "We're not selling our product," so far as applying strategic marketing and other strategies.
"If we're trying to force-feed education, then we're on the wrong side of the horse," Tripp said.

Red Sox Extend Dustin Pedroia for 8 Years
Today the Boston Red Sox announced an 8 year $110 million contract that runs from 2014 to 2021. The Red Sox said in a press release today:
The Boston Red Sox today signed All-Star second baseman Dustin Pedroia to an eight-year contract beginning in 2014 and continuing through the 2021 season. Executive Vice President/General Manager Ben Cherington made the announcement.
Known for his gritty style and dirty uniform, Pedroia, 29, joins Willie Mays, Frank Robinson, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Thurman Munson, Cal Ripken, Jr., and Albert Pujols as the only players ever to have won a World Series and Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player, and Rawlings Gold Glove awards. He is the Red Sox' most accomplished second baseman since Hall of Famer Bobby Doerr.
This shows commitment from both sides, the Sox taking a leap of faith giving Pedroia a contract that runs through his late 30s, Pedroia not forcing the Sox to break the bank like many other franchise players would. Pedroia is the perfect guy to give this kind of deal to. He's a grind it out player who will give 100% effort day in and day out. His game isn't based on power or speed, which deteriorate over time. As long as he is able to stay healthy he should be able to maintain a high level of play throughout the life of the contract. Obviously when he's 38 he won't be playing like he is now, but there's a good chance he'll still be a top second baseman in the league. This deal benefits both sides, and appears to be a near perfect deal for all parties involved.

ivanko barbell
Ivanko Barbell Company Urethane Dumbbells, Barbells, Olympic Grip Plates and Competition Weightlifting Bars - Ivanko has innovated and improved upon some of the industry's most widely used free weight equipment since 1967. It was their passion that was the driving force behind making better barbells, dumbbells and Olympic bars for those who pursue physical health and strength.
Solid Steel Urethane Dumbbells and Barbells - When it came time to introduce the Ivanko solid steel dumbbell and barbell to the market it was done in typical Ivanko fashion; without compromise in quality and materials and with an out of the box design that was unique to the barbell industry. Ivanko urethane dumbbells and barbells are made in the USA and assembled using a proprietary no-weld, no-Allen bolt design. To the consumer, this means a virtually maintenance free product as there are no welds to crack and break where the handles meet the head and no Allen bolts to come loose. Their matte finish, high impact urethane with chem-fused bonding technology is the thickest in the business to prevent abrasions and tearing in the most brutal commercial environments. And there are two high quality handle and bar choices that consist of a military-grade hard chrome finish that has a total hardness of 75% of that of a diamond as well as solid stainless steel option that will never rust under any circumstances.
Olympic Weightlifting Bars and Powerlifting Competitions Bars - The Ivanko philosophy behind making the best "Bullet Proof" Olympic bars in the business is through "visual durability" and "performance durability". It's not only important how something looks and performs when you buy it but how it looks and performs long after you buy it. For Ivanko, there are key pieces to this puzzle which are address in the manufacturing of their bars that includes surface durability, structural integrity, straightness and fusing of the sleeves and collars. Each bar is ultrasonic tested to eliminate internal defects and eddy current or magnetic particle tested to detect external cracks for maximum quality and strength assurance. Investing in a higher quality bar yields differences your members can see and feel and indemnifies you against risks that you can prevent only by choosing your Olympic bars wisely.

U.S. MNT Returns to Action With 3-1 Win Against Denmark
CARSON, Calif. (January 20, 2007) — The U.S. Men's National Team returned to the field in style under new head coach Bob Bradley on Saturday with an efficient 3-1 victory against Denmark at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. The exciting match played in front of 10,048 fans on a cool winter day in Southern California featured just about everything, including four players earning their first cap, five more earning their second cap, a come-from-behind win, a penalty kick from longtime stalwart Landon Donovan and second-half strikes from U.S. debutant Jonathan Bornstein and Kenny Cooper.
With Bradley on the bench leading the USA for the first time, the game began tentatively and saw Denmark strike first in the 37th minute. The opening goal came on an excellent header from forward Dennis Sorensen, who beat defender Jimmy Conrad to the ball just six yards from goal and hammered a shot off the underside of the crossbar. The goal was created by Simon Busk Poulsen, who found himself on the edge of the U.S. penalty area with nary a defender in sight and plenty of time to tee up his perfect cross for Sorensen.
The lead for Denmark was short-lived, though, with the U.S. tying the game almost immediately through a 44th minute penalty kick from Donovan on a shot that rifled through the hands of Danish goalkeeper Jesper Christiansen. The goal for Donovan was the 26th of his international career, and ended his longest-ever goalless drought for the United States at 18 games (a streak that dated all the way back to a 2-0 win vs. Canada on July 9, 2005). Donovan's penalty kick was set up when Ricardo Clark was pulled down from behind by Anders Moller Christensen as he was trying to slalom into the area with the ball.
"It is a good way to start the year," said Bradley after the game. "We had a number of guys who got their first chance to play for the United States. I thought that all of them responded really well. It has been a good camp. To see the team step on the field with a good mentality and a good amount of energy, and respond well to being down 1-0, I think those were all really good signs."
With the game tied at one entering the second half, Bradley made a key change that would pay immediate dividends, inserting left-sided midfielder Justin Mapp for forward Nate Jaqua, and moving Chris Rolfe forward. Just 12 minutes later, Mapp provided the winning assist courtesy of one of his patented dribbling runs so often seen in Major League Soccer with the Chicago Fire.
On the goal, Mapp confronted Denmark's William Kvist Jorgensen and Chris Sorensen on the right edge of the penalty area, and then quickly slipped himself and the ball between them. The 22-year-old midfielder had plenty of time to comfortably slot a pass from the end line in front of the goal for a crashing Bornstein, who easily one-timed his shot home from five yards out.
The U.S. tacked on an impressive third goal in the 80th minute, with 6-foot-3 forward Kenny Cooper streaking with the ball for 30 yards as three Danish players chased him from behind. As he approached the top of the area and the pressure from behind intensified, Cooper easily beat Christiansen with a slow roller into the right side of the goal. The breakaway for Cooper came courtesy of a through ball from Heath Pearce, who plays professionally in Denmark for FC Nordsjælland.
Outside of Donovan's penalty kick, the points for Bornstein, Mapp, Cooper and Pearce were their first in a U.S. National Team jersey. Bornstein and Cooper also became the 40th and 41st players in the 95-year history of U.S. Soccer to score in their first game with the national team. They are also the ninth and 10th players to accomplish the feat for the U.S. in the modern World Cup era (since 1986) and the fourth and fifth players to do it this decade.
Overall, the U.S. line-up featured five players making just their second international appearance, goalkeeper Matt Reis, defender Bobby Boswell, midfielder Ricardo Clark, Jaqua, and second half substitute Mapp. Of the four players making their international debut (including Cooper, defender Bryan Namoff and midfielder Kyle Beckerman), only Bornstein started.
Added Bradley, "I thought the first half we had moments where the coordination on the field was fine, but the plays weren't. I thought we fouled up some simple plays and it seemed we just needed to get some confidence in what we were doing. I thought after they scored we did a pretty good job of coming back quickly and that helped, and the second half was much better."
Following the match with Denmark, the U.S. team will have a few days off and then will get right back to work in advance of the team's 52nd all-time meeting with Mexico. This edition of USA-Mexico is set for the brand new University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., on Feb. 7 (tickets). The match will be televised live by both ESPN2 and Univision in an expanded two-and-a-half hour window beginning at 7 p.m. MT (9 p.m. ET). Curiously, the USA and Mexico have not met since the United States' authoritative, World Cup-clinching, 2-0 victory back on Sept. 3, 2005, in Columbus, Ohio. That span of 522 days is the longest the two teams have gone between matches since 1993. (The 2006 calendar year marked the first time the two teams have not met since 1992.)
After games against Ecuador (March 25 in Tampa) and Guatemala (March 28 in Frisco, Texas), the United States will compete in two major championships this summer. The three-time champions will first try to defend their title against 11 other teams at the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup, scheduled from June 6-24 in several cities across the United States. Just a few days later, the U.S. will participate in the 2007 Copa America, the regional championship of South America. The 12-team tournament will run from June 26 to July 15 in nine cities across Venezuela. For the United States, the appearance will mark their third entrance into CONMEBOL's signature event.

BOSTON, Mass.—UMass Boston scored two early goals and cruised to a 3-0 victory over Wentworth Institute of Technology Thursday afternoon, in a non-conference matchup at the Clark Athletic Field.
The Beacons jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first 15 minutes and never looked back, as UMass Boston improved to 12-1 on the year. For Wentworth, the loss dropped the Leopards to 4-9-1, as they've now dropped eight of their past 11 contests.
Sophomore forward Krista Ledin (Bridgewater, Mass.) gave the Beacons a huge boost early on, as the reigning Little East Conference Rookie of the Year scored twice in the first 13 minutes and 10 seconds. Ledin leads the LEC with 15 goals and 36 points and has been unstoppable at home, posting 12 goals and 29 points in six games.
Tayla Andrews (Plymouth, Mass.) scored the other tally for the Beacons, giving her fourteen markers on the season. Midfielder Amanda Pugliese (Pembroke, Mass.) added two assists, while Brittany Castillo (Yarmouth, Mass.) recorded her fifth assist on the year.
Sophomore goalkeeper Kristen Spain (Quincy, Mass.) continued to dominate, making two saves on two shots to improve to 11-1. Fellow keeper Dani Perkins (Murrieta, Calif.) replaced Spain in the second half and made two saves in her first appearance in over a month.
UMass Boston dominated the Leopards with a 34-5 shot advantage. The Beacons recorded all four corners in the contest and tallied 18 shots on goal, compared to just four for Wentworth.
Ledin gave the Beacons an early lead just 8:07 into the game with a one-timer that beat Wentworth goalie Miranda Stuckey. The goal was set-up by a strong cross from Castillo to Ledin, who was camped out at the top of the box.
Just over five minutes later, Ledin found the back of the net again, when Pugliese sent a pass into the box and Ledin dribbled by a defender, before sending a low shot across the goal-mouth.
The second goal essentially ended Stuckey's day in net, as the freshman allowed two goals on five shots and was replaced at the 15:50 mark. Senior Jess Gardner donned the goalie uniform for the rest of the game and had a strong outing. The senior made 11 stops, including some point-blank saves, while allowing just one goal.
UMass Boston finished off the scoring when they got on the board just before halftime. Andrews and Pugliese hooked up on a perfect give-and-go, as Andrews and Pugliese connected on three passes, before Andrews shot the ball past Gardner to the far post.
The Beacons dominated the first half with a 24-2 shot advantage, but couldn't keep it up in the second half.
Wentworth came out with much more intensity in the second half, as UMass Boston had to deal with some uncomfortable shadows.
Junior Elizabeth Somma had the best chance for the Leopards with 12 minutes to play, but Perkins was up to the task.
The Beacons return to action on Saturday when they host Eastern Connecticut State University at 1 p.m. As part of the game, UMass Boston will put on their annual "Pink Game," with all proceeds going towards breast cancer awareness and research.

Judge Dreadful
I called her around 9:30ish, and didn't leave a voicemail because I didn't want to do the phone tag thing yet again. I figured I'd call a bit later in the evening and try and get her on the phone. Being the professional that she is, however, she did call back within the hour, after seeing my number on the caller ID. I give her kudos for that. She doesn't screw around when it comes to professionalism and being businesslike.
Below is the transcript of the conversation, as best I can recall. Imagine the most monotone, disinterested voice you can when reading what she said.
Her: Hi, this is ****. I'm returning your call. (She's "returning my call"... like I called to make an appointment for a prostate exam or something).
Me: Oh, hi. How are you?
Her: Good. You?
Me: Great.
Awkward silence for at least 5 seconds.
Me: So how was your day?
Her: Busy. I'm still at work.
Me: At work at 10:30 at night. Wow. What are you doing there so late?
Her: I write my decisions.
Me: That sounds really interesting. So what kind of judge are you?
Her: (I don't recall exactly what she said. Something to do with the Environmental Protection Agency).
Me: So do you sit on a panel with other judges, or is it just you?
Her: Just me.
Me: Uh huh. Uh Huh.
More awkward silence. This chick was giving me NOTHING to work with. Christ, elaborate, woman. ELABORATE!
Me: So what type of cases do you deal with?
Her: Quality of life.
Me: (internal sigh): So do you render the final verdict or can a person appeal your decision?
Her: They can appeal.
Me: How high can they appeal?
Her: Just one level.
Me: That's pretty amazing. So you're in a position of considerable authority at such a young age.
Her: (almost robotic): Yes. I like what I do.
Now keep in mind that during the course of this conversation, she made no effort to ask about me. On top of that, she was calling from a very noisy building lobby where I could barely hear a lot of what she said, which wasn't much.
Then, as I'm struggling to think of something...ANYTHING to say to continue this conversation, she says, "Well, I'm gonna go. It was nice talking to you. I hope we can speak again." At that point I was thinking, "Really? Do you really wanna speak AGAIN? Sounds to me like you barely wanted to speak this time."
I politely wished her a good night, and crossed her number off my list, which is now officially down to one. A number I plan on calling this weekend... so stay tuned on Monday for how that one turns out.

I've met plenty of chicks like that. They're fem-bots. Intelligent, even successful, but devoid of personality or sense of humor. Doesn't sound like that's what you're looking for.

Good luck with that last set of digits, but it seems like internet dating just ain't for you, bro.
- August 10, 2007 at 4:27 PM
Wow, lawyer with the personality of an actuary! Honestly, I swore off dating lawyers a long time ago. Not worth the hassle.
My guess is that if she is with a Federal Agency, she is probably an Administrative Law Judge. Not that you find that interesting.
Well, I hope that last number works out for you!

Little Menehune by Lady Gryphon
The folklore of many cultures around the world include stories
of magical little people. Although most people easily recall the leprechauns of
Ireland, in Hawaii the mischievous Menehune roam the deep forests at night.
Hawaii's legendary mystical and shy forest dwellers are small in
size at about two feet high, although some are only six inches high and capable
of fitting in the palm of someone's hand. According to legend they are very
industrious master builders that use their great strength to accomplish mighty
feats of engineering and construction overnight.
Many Hawaiian sources in recent years had suggested that the
Menehune were indeed mythic creatures borne from the early period of the
evolution of Hawaiian society. One explanation that I had been given suggested
that Menehune were actually the first settlers of Hawai'i - descendants of the
Marquesas islanders who were believed to have first occupied the Hawaiian
Islands anywhere from 0 to 350 A.D. When the Tahitian invasion occurred about
1100 A.D., this theory goes, the first settlers were subdued by the physically
larger Tahitians. Remnants of these earlier inhabitants of Hawaii would
naturally then hide from the new invaders, occupying secret places in the
valleys during the day, but scourging for food during the dark of night. Thus
was born the legend of the little people of the Islands.
Historians believe that Menehune comes from the Tahitian
Manahune, or commoner, and refers to a race of people who were small in social
rather than physical stature.
Today, scholars speculate that the Menehune may not have been an
imaginary race at all, but rather the descendants of the first wave of settlers
who came to Hawaii from the Marquesas sometime around the sixth century. The
Menehune legends come from later settlers who reached Hawaii six or seven
hundred years later from the Islands of Tahiti. Scholars have concluded that
this second wave of immigrants may have defeated the descendants of the original
Marquesans, driving them north from the Big Island to Kauai, where they made
their last stand. Only later did they emerge in their elfin guise. Linguistic
support for the explanation comes from the Tahitian home islands where the word
Manahune derisively refer to a class of workers and slaves.
And yet others have theorized that they believe the Menehune
were tales made up by the ali'i to give explanation for the construction of
fishponds, temples and other structures so that they wouldn't have to give
credit to the real people who built these things - the maka'ainana - the common
While Hawaii's menehune legends are not limited to Kauai, the
island certainly has its share of stories about these leprechaun-like people.
Though generally considered to be creatures of myth, an 1820s census officially
counted 65 Menehune's living in Wainiha Valley.
According to legend, the mystical Menehune, were credited as
master builders capable of completing major projects in a single night. The
Alekoko Fishpond and the Menehune Ditch, a aqua duct that funnels water for
irrigation from the Waimea River, were both attributed to their over night
efforts. According to legend, the menehune worked at night so as not to be seen
by others, cutting, transporting, and fitting stones for their projects in a
fireman's bucket brigade. If they were discovered their work would have been
abandoned. Luckily for the Hawaiians, the menehune were exceptionally good at
remaining unnoticed.
A double row of Menehune extended 25 miles to distant Makaweli
on the west side. The workers passed stones hand-to-hand and built the fishpond
for a princess and her brother. The Menehune were promised no one would observe
them at work, which was carried on after dark. However, one night the royal pair
snuck up and watched the thousands of Menehune at work, only to fall asleep. At
sunrise the Menehune discovered them and turned them into twin stone pillars
that can be seen today in the mountains above the fishpond. Dismayed by the
interruption, the Menehune left two gaps in the fishpond wall. In the late 1800s
Chinese workers filled the gaps to raise mullet.
The menehune enjoy dancing, singing, and archery. They have been
known to use magic arrows to pierce the heart of angry people to ignite feelings
of love instead. Menehune also enjoy cliff diving, so if you hear splashes in
the night on the islands of Hawaii, it is highly possible a Menehune is diving
into the ocean.
Whatever their origins, the menehune have emerged from the past
as playful elves - pot-bellied, hairy, and muscular, with bushy eyebrows over
large eyes and a short nose with a trace of the mischievousness of their
European counterparts.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia -- Charlotte Kalla erased a 25-second deficit on the final leg and won a three-way sprint at the end to give Sweden the Olympic gold in the women's 4x5-kilometer cross-country relay. Heavy pre-race favorite Norway failed to win a medal.
Kalla was far behind Finland's Krista Lahteenmaki and Germany's Denise Herrmann after the final exchange but gradually erased the deficit and caught up to the two leaders going into the stadium.
On the final straight, the Swede overtook both and beat Lahteenmaki by 0.5 seconds. Herrmann and Germany settled for bronze.
Defending champion Norway lost a women's relay for the first time since 2009. Four-time gold medalist Marit Bjoergen couldn't eat into her 33-second deficit on the anchor leg as Norway finished fifth.
The win provided Sweden its first gold medal in the Sochi Games. Kalla won her third medal of the games, after taking silver in both the skiathlon and the 10K classical race.
Kalla took gold in the 10K freestyle race in Vancouver, but this was her most impressive Olympic performance yet.
Sweden seemed to have lost its chance at a gold medal after Anna Haag couldn't keep up with Finland's Kerttu Niskanen and Germany's Claudia Nystad on the third leg, falling 25.7 seconds behind. But with Sweden's king and queen looking on, Kalla immediately began a relentless pursuit that saw her cut the deficit to 13.2 seconds with 2.5K left. She kept closing the gap on the last lap until she joined the leading duo shortly before going into the stadium.
She was still third at the last curve before the final straight, but used an inside track to go in front and opened up a gap that she kept all the way to the finish line.
After collapsing into the snow, she was immediately mobbed by her teammates in the finish area.
The Norwegian team featured the top four women in the overall World Cup standings, but they again seemed to struggle with the warm conditions at the Laura Cross-Country and Biathlon Center. Therese Johaug lost ground to the leaders on the second classical-style leg and Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen fell even further behind. That left Bjoergen with an all but insurmountable deficit, and she saved her energy on the last lap, finishing 53.6 seconds behind Sweden.
France finished fourth, 45 seconds back.

Wow. Like wow. Nicole Kidman, 46, goes topless in the shots from her Spring and Summer 2014 Jimmy Choo campaign.
The gorgeous redheaded actress strategically places a handbag over her girls in one shot. A bag as a bra? Now that's brilliant and utilitarian fashion for ya!
Of the shoot, the stunning Oscar winner said, "It felt a little bit daring, dangerous. I loved the minimal styling and how the shoes and bags became like a sensual second skin to me."
We hope we look this good when we reach her age. With her porcelain skin, fit figure and natural beauty, the former Mrs. Tom Cruise and current Mrs. Keith Urban puts women half her age to shame.

Podcast 280: Ulrich Schnauss
Although XLR8R covers many different corners of the electronic spectrum, it's fair to say that we haven't been paying a whole lot of attention to drum & bass as of late. That being said, we still have a soft spot for the genre's heyday, and it appears we're not alone. Ulrich Schnauss may be best known for the serene, shoegaze-flavored electronic soundscapes he's been turning out for more than a decade, but when we asked the German veteran to participate in our podcast series, he elected to eschew his signature style and instead delve into his past. The result? A 78-minute offering he's calling Drift to the Centre: Deep Atmospheric DnB from the Golden Age, a mix which also happens to represent the largest spotlight XLR8R has shone on drum & bass in quite some time. In fairness, before Schnauss began releasing music under his own name in the early '00s and cooking up melody-rich pieces of pastoral electronic pop, he was crafting ambient drum & bass as Ethereal 77 and View to the Future, making this podcast a sort of return to his roots. It's a bit of an unexpected left turn, but given that his new album, A Long Way to Fall, is arguably Schnauss' most varied effort to date, it seems that the producer has perhaps reached a point where he's looking to surprise people. The new LP—his fourth overall and first in six years—won't see the light of day here in the US until February 12, but this mix should help to tide everyone over until that day arrives. As its ornate title suggests, the podcast is full of mid-'90s classics; it's a celebration of the pre-techstep era, a time when drum & bass world—or at least a sizable portion of it—celebrated deep, soulful grooves and rolling jazz rhythms. It may not sound like Schnauss' modern-day output, but its chilled vibes and relaxing effect are certainly similar.

I started looking around for what the options were, I looked at City University and SPU, and basically all the schools around who offered a graduate level program that would certify a teacher who had an undergraduate background already. And essentially Northwest met all that criteria.Watch the Video
I had a couple objectives; I wanted to get done with a graduate program as soon as I could. And so that meant I was shooting for a program that could get me done in a year, really. I was eager to get into the classroom.Watch the Video
The teaching staff at Northwest was great. I like the fact that they had all worked, they had all done the teaching thing, not just in a collegiate environment, but mostly in secondary or elementary age with elementary aged kids.Watch the Video
I was interested in doing something during the week only; I didn't really want to mess with my weekends. I was interested in an evening structured program. I liked the MIT emphasis on spending as much time as I could in a classroom.Watch the Video
I've been teaching at Bellevue Christian High School now for a year and a half. I finished MIT and then I had a job essentially that next September at BCS. So I'm teaching AP Physics and Physics and sophomore level math. And I love it. I'm having a great time.Watch the Video
I've actually recommended a couple people to Northwest, and the MIT program especially, people like myself, coming into teaching as a second career, because the MIT program is a quick way to get it done that I also feel prepares you pretty well.Watch the Video

One thing pundits rarely do is review their own prognostications. A year ago I published "10 Big Themes for 2011" -- related to how the digital revolution changes business and society. It's helpful to review what actually occurred. Below are my projections and some 20-20 hindsight editorializing.
1. "The crisis deepens. Rather than just an economic downturn, more people will recognize that we're entering an era of profound change. The industrial economy and many of its institutions are reaching the end of their life cycles -- from newspapers and old models of financial services to our energy grid, transportation systems and institutions for global cooperation and problem solving."
What happened? I think I called that one. A year ago many were saying that we had come out of the global slump and that we were in full recovery, even if it was a "jobless" one. I detest the term "jobless recovery" as an oxymoron. There is no recovery unless it's inclusive. As for the global crisis, anyone want to debate with me that it's getting deeper and that we need to rebuild most institutions and industries, like, say, government?
2. "We've entered a new period of Global Risks. We are moving into an age where profound threats are emerging to the global economy, society and even the very existence of humanity. Failure of the financial system, weapons of mass destruction, new communicable diseases, collapse of environmental systems, water security and many other threats make the world a volatile place. Leaders unite to build a Global Risk Response System."
What happened? Possible overstatement. But consider the sovereign debt crisis, America losing its triple A rating, how the Japanese tsunami disrupted the global supply chain, the destabilization of (nuclear power) Pakistan, Iran's steps towards nuclear weapons and the deepening crisis regarding Israel's relationship with the Arab world -- and a "Global Risk Response System" sounds like a good idea.
3. "Worldwide generational conflict will grow. Around the planet young adults are asserting themselves in the workplace and in political arenas. Protests against entrenched governments will increase in frequency and severity."
What happened? Well I did call that one. It's unbelievable to think that the Arab Spring, Occupy, student riots in London, millions of youth in the streets from Spain and around the world were not even on the radar a year ago. But all my work about the new generation told me that a conflagration was in the making. And this one is just beginning.
4. "Media upheaval will intensify. Newspapers will continue to collapse, replaced by networked news models. The Huffington Post is just the beginning. More of the music consumer's dollar will go into the pockets of artists and less to the music labels. The industry will awaken to the need to sell music as a service rather than a product. TV will continue down the path of becoming simply another app on the web."
What happened? There were very few newspaper bankruptcies and while cable television declined, TV is still alive and kicking. The biggest development here was the impact of transparency on the Rupert Murdoch empire. The good news is that while the music industry continues to decline, new players with the right business model like Spotify have entered the U.S. market and amazing networked models of the news are flourishing.
5. "There will be an upsurge in entrepreneurial activity. In the U.S. and other countries unemployed knowledge workers, especially young people, will start their own businesses or work under personal services contracts. The internet enables small companies to have the capabilities of larger companies without the main liabilities."
What happened? "Upsurge" was not the right word. While it's true that many young people are being forced to be entrepreneurs by high youth unemployment, they are having difficulty getting financing due to the lingering sub-prime meltdown hangover. Because 80 percent of new jobs come from companies 5 years old or less, the failure of the banks and venture capital to provide financing is a chronic problem.
6. "The 'app revolution' peaks showing signs of decline. Developers, faced with so many platform choices and limitations of proprietary apps start to look to HTML5 for mobile web development. Rather than writing applications to run on separate mobile operating systems, developers will return to the uniformity of web sites accessed through browsers."
What Happened? It may have peaked but there are no signs of decline yet. But with open platforms like Android eclipsing the iconic iPhone, a turn to the web can't be far away.
7. "The Age of Hyper Transparency becomes clear. Right now it's the U.S. government, but Wikileaks founder Julian Assange says private-sector companies are next, starting with the financial services industry. So if your corporation is going to be naked -- and you really have no choice in the matter -- you'd better be buff."
What happened? Wikileaks backed off denuding private companies. I'm not sure why because there sure is lots of extreme dirt to expose. But transparency has now become part of the public dialogue. A small indication: TED Global has themed its annual event for June 2012 "Radical Openness."
8. "There will be a social media privacy backlash. With the meteoric rise of social media, we are increasingly willing accomplices in undermining our own privacy rights. Privacy is the Achilles Heel of sites such as Facebook."
What happened? Concerns about privacy did explode this year and every social network and many businesses are dazed and confused. Some left Facebook for this reason to Google+ and more privacy-friendly platforms. In a shocking ruling last week the FTC came down hard on Facebook, forcing them to redesign their system and procedures to protect the privacy of their users. Given that bad privacy policies is Facebook's Achilles Heel, the FTC may have unwittingly saved the company.
9. "The battle over net neutrality will explode. Internet Service Providers will continue their campaign to charge premium prices for certain kinds of content, while content providers will want all Internet traffic treated fairly. The biggest confrontations will be in the wireless realm."
What happened? Not a lot. The term gets over 5 million hits on Google. But Lady Gaga gets 400 million. Champions like Google and Tim Berners Lee have had some success. Given the Obama administration's stated support for net neutrality and an open Internet, no explosion occurred because the providers are lying low.
10. "Two technologies -- Enterprise Collaboration and Geospaciality -- come of age. Foursquare was just the beginning. Get out your Google goggles and Layar Reality Browser and augment your reality. The physical and digital worlds are converging. Companies finally begin to move beyond electronic mail, document management and other primitive technologies to new collaborative Suites like Jive and Spaces."
What happened? Geospaciality continues to grow with mapping and navigation systems on hundreds of millions of mobile devices. But true augmented reality tools like Goggles and Layar are not yet exactly household words.
Looking back it appears I hit eight out of ten. But what did I miss? You tell me!
