You know the moment near the end of a twisty movie when something happens that puts everything else you've seen in a new light? In supertwisty 'Trance,' that moment happens during the opening credits.
Danny Boyle's movie is a little too tricky and too obsessed with keeping us guessing, but it's also dazzling, clever fun that should please fans who've been wishing he would make another movie along the same lines as his entertaining debut, 'Shallow Grave.'
Like 'Shallow Grave,' 'Trance' is a crime caper that focuses on a group of people who commit a crime together but realize they can't trust each other, even before they've had time to divvy up the loot.
In 'Trance,' the loot is a Goya painting swiped in the middle of an art auction. James McAvoy plays an auction employee who was in on the crime but who got conked on the head and has forgotten where he stashed the Goya. His partner, volatile Vincent Cassel, isn't convinced the amnesia is legit, but he hires a hypnotist to see if she can unlock the mystery of the missing masterpiece. Since she's played by gorgeous Rosario Dawson, she also may hold the key to either or both men's hearts.
The fun in 'Trance' is how it uses vivid colors, muscular editing and snappy cinematography to mess with our heads. Big chunks of the movie are set in McAvoy's sessions with Dawson, and it's often not clear if what we're seeing is in his head or if it's in the 'real world' of the film.
As a result, watching the movie feels almost like we're being hypnotized, like we're powerless to resist its allure. And in a way, isn't that true of all good movies?
Afterward, you'll be able to find plot holes in 'Trance.' For instance, there's one key image it doesn't plant in our minds well enough. But even that feels like part of the fun: While you're watching 'Trance,' it's so deft at pulling the wool over your eyes, so it's only later that you think, 'I can't believe it got me.'
Movie critic Chris Hewitt can be reached at 651-228-5552. Follow him on twitter.com/ChrisHMovie.
'TRANCE' Directed by: Danny Boyle
Starring: James McAvoy, Rosario Dawson, Vincent Cassell
Rated: R, for graphic nudity, bloody violence and language
Should you go? Yes, as long as you're OK with being manipulated. ***

Today had been going really badly. All kinds of stuff in the realm of sales has been collapsing to the point where I've wondered what on God's green Earth I'm doing here. Then I read LCD and saw Marty, speaking (I presume) as Bryan, saying almost word for word what I'd thought, and I can't tell you how much better I feel.
Thank you, Bryan... your comic really did wonders for me today.
On a side note, I must also thank you for Terry's close-up... she's definitely my fave.

This unique Amaryllis' gorgeous pink blooms make a grand statement on their own or planted alongside a white variety for a spectacular show. So easy to grow and makes a great gift!
You can expect to see blooms in 6-12 weeks, after planting your Lagoon amaryllis bulb.
Amaryllis How-To: Ever grown an amaryllis inside the house? It's a snap. There can be rain, cold and snow outside, but all you do is plant the bulb in a pot, water this "magic lily", and watch it zoom into growth. Eventually, enormous flowers begin to open - huge lily blooms up to 8" across! Each bulb produces one or two stems, with 3 or 4 flowers appearing on each stalk. These long-lasting blooms will provide a big show for over a month.
Planting Amaryllis: Choose a standard size flower pot, so the large bulb has approx. 1" around sides and at bottom. (These bulbs do not need much root space.) Use soil, or a mixture of soil, peat and perlite. (Do not use pine bark.) Place bulb so top inch or so of bulb sticks up out of the soil. Place the pot with your freshly-planted bulb on top of the refrigerator, radiator, or other spot that provides 'bottom heat' to encourage quicker sprouting.
Watering:Water sparingly until the sprout is well out of the bulb. Once sprout appears, water regularly, but do not overwater. Your amaryllis will grow quickly and produce its spectacular huge flowers. Remember to keep turning the pot regularly to make the stalk grow straight, as they have a tendency to grow and bend towards the light. Once in flower, it's best to keep plant out of direct sunlight to keep the blooms from fading. Simply remove each flower as it begins to pale. Your bulb will produce several flowers.
Aftercare: When all flowers are gone, cut off the tubular flower stems near the top of the bulb, leaving the foliage to continue growing. Water as usual and apply water-soluble fertilizer every four weeks. In spring, after danger of frost, sink the Amaryllis pot in the garden in a sunny place for the summer. Continue to fertilize. At the end of the summer, place the pot on its side and allow the soil to dry out. Cut off the dry leaves, and in about six weeks repot your bulb in fresh potting soil and start the growing cycle all over again.
Open the box right away and check the contents
Choose a standard size flower pot, so the large bulb has approximately 1" around the sides and at the bottom (these bulbs do not need much root space). Amaryllis do not need specific soil, however we suggest using soil, or a mixture of soil, peat and perlite (do not use pine bark, as it may encourage rot). Place the bulb so the top inch or so of the shoulders sticks up out of the soil (see below)
Water very sparingly until the sprout is well out of the bulb. When first planted, place the pot in a sunny , and add "bottom heat" if possible. Many people do this by placing the pot on a radiator. Once the sprout appears, water regularly, but do not overwater. Overwatering is the quickest way to kill amaryllis. Your amaryllis will grow quickly and produce its spectacular huge flowers with minimal care.
Remember to keep turning the pot regularly to make the stalk grow straight, as they have a tendency to grow toward the light. Once the bulb is flowing, it is best to keep the plant out of direct sunlight. Your bulb will produce several flowers on each stalk and most will grow two or three stalks. Remove each flower as it fades.
Shop for all Amaryllis Bulbs and Kits
After winter bloom, if you want to rebloom your amaryllis, it's quite simple. When blooms fade, cut off the tubular flower stems near the top of the bulb, leaving the foliage to continue growing.
Water as usual and apply water-soluble fertilizer every four weeks. Once spring arrives and frost is past, sink the Amaryllis pot in the garden in a sunny place. Continue to fertilize. At the end of the summer when frost threatens, simply pull the pot out of the ground, wash it out, and take it inside, and allow it to dry out completely in a warm dry place like a utility room. Once the leaves are dead and the bulb dry (usually 5 to 6 weeks), the bulb is ready for repotting. Simply cut off the dry leaves, and repot your bulb in fresh potting soil and start the growing cycle again.

A walk in the woods on a chilly autumn night is not everyone's cup of tea.
But the prospect of a visit to the Enchanted Forest should be enough to tear you away from the television and a blazing fire.
The event, at Faskally Wood near Pitlochry is an extravagant sound and light show that sets the trees and water alive, takes visitors into the heart of the show, and includes acrobats performing high in the trees.
There's a story-telling yurt for the youngsters, and seasonal mulled wine for the adults at the award-winning show, now in its 14th year.
The 2015 show, named FLUX, has been designed by a creative team led by Derek Allan including Scottish lighting designers Kate Bonney and Simon Hayes, and specially composed and recorded music, and sound effects by RJ McConnell and Jon Beales.
Mike Cantlay, chairman of VisitScotland saw a preview of the event and described it as: "more spectacular than ever before.
"The creative team at The Enchanted Forest has an exceptional way of refreshing their approach every year to create a unique event that showcases Scotland's natural landscape at its very best. This is a must-see event this autumn for people of all ages, one of the best shows I've seen all year," he added.
The Enchanted Forest runs until November 1 – for more information and to book, go to www.enchantedforest.org.uk

Zoonotic diseases and human health: The human influenza example
Barry D. Schoub
National Institute for Communicable Diseases, Sandringham, South Africa
Over the past few decades a large number of new and emerging infectious diseases have been recognised in humans, partly because of improved diagnostic technologies and increased awareness and also, partly because of dynamic ecological changes between human hosts and their exposure to animals and the environment (Coker et al. 2011). Some 177 new pathogenic organisms have been recognised to be 'emerging', that is, have newly arisen or been newly introduced into human populations; almost three quarters of these, 130 (73%), have come from zoonotic origins (Cascio et al. 2011; Cutler, Fooks & Van Der Poel 2010; Taylor, Latham & Woolhouse 2001; Woolhouse & Gowtage-Sequeria 2005). One of the most prevalent and important human infectious disease is influenza, a disease responsible globally for a quarter million deaths annually. In the USA alone the toll from influenza is estimated at 36 000 deaths and 226 000 hospitalisations, and it ranks as the most important cause of vaccine preventable mortality in that country (CDC 2010). The epidemiological behaviour of human influenza clearly defines it as an emerging infectious disease and the recent understanding of its zoonotic origins has contributed much to the understanding of its behaviour in humans (Fauci 2006).
The classical view of influenza
Influenza is one of the most enigmatic of human viruses especially when one considers that it was the first human virus to be isolated (Smith, Andrews & Laidlaw 1933), that the vaccine was one of the first human vaccines to have been developed, in the mid-1940s, and that it is a virus which has been intensively studied since then in animal models, in human volunteers and since the early 1980s at an intense biophysical and biochemical level (Waterfield, Scrace & Skehel 1981). Yet this virus, despite its public health importance being responsible for causing such a massive burden of illness, is only now in recent times yielding up the secrets of its characteristics and its behaviour in human populations.
The classical view of influenza virus was that of a virus which behaved in one of two ways. Every winter human populations predictably experience seasonal influenza of varying degrees of intensity. Subtle changes in antigenicity as a result of mutational changes in the plastic ribonucleic acid (RNA) genome, termed antigenic drift, ensured that epidemics of influenza in temperate climates would be a feature of every winter. New strains of the virus therefore appeared regularly which would replace existing strains to which the population had built up immunity. On rare occasions, about two or three times per century, a more dramatic change in antigenicity, termed antigenic shift, would result from the introduction of a new gene or genes from an animal reservoir as a result of genetic reassortment of the fragmented genome of the virus. So arose the pandemics of 1918 (the Spanish influenza), 1957 (the Asian influenza) and 1968 (the Hong Kong influenza). With each pandemic a new subtype of influenza A virus would appear to replace its predecessor and it would then become the regular annual seasonal influenza virus. The first upset to this classical concept came with the reappearance of the H1N1 subtype in 1977 after an absence of over 20 years which did not replace the existing H3N2 subtype but circulated together with it and either or both of them would then be responsible for annual seasonal influenza outbreaks (Kilbourne 2006).
A prescient commentary by Scholtissek and Naylor in 1988 drew attention to the risks of future pandemics which could result from developments in aquaculture which promote contacts between humans, ducks and pigs (Scholtissek & Naylor 1988). In 1997 the first cases of human infections with H5N1 virus were reported from Hong Kong (Claas et al. 1998; Yuen et al. 1998) and subsequently in a number of publications over 50 sporadic and clustered cases of human infections with avian viruses of different subtypes resulting from direct, extended and intimate contact with human poultry were recorded (Alexander 2006; Lee & Saif 2009; Wong & Yuen 2006). The fundamental understanding of the ecology of influenza A viruses and the evolution of human viruses was now becoming apparent, namely, that the natural reservoir of influenza virus was avians, especially waterfowl (Subbarao & Katz 2000). From this reservoir new viruses or new genes would periodically cross the species barrier and infect humans either directly or indirectly through an intermediate host such as the pig, or a novel gene or two could be transmitted through reassortment in an intermediate host such as the pig. A second important understanding was the concept that reassortment (the probable mechanism for the 1957 and 1968 pandemics) was not the only mechanism of how new human viruses arose from animal reservoirs but also direct viral transmission from an avian source to humans could play a role in the origin of human pandemics, as was thought to have occurred in the 1918 pandemic (Belshe 2005).
The influenza A (H5N1) outbreak in humans began in Hong Kong in 1997 with 18 cases, six of whom died (Claas et al. 1998; Yuen et al. 1998). The virus then apparently disappeared from human populations for five years re-emerging in 2003 in a Hong Kong family who had returned from a trip to mainland China (Peiris et al. 2004). Since then H5N1 disease in humans has spread to 15 countries in Asia, Europe and Africa (WHO 2011). As at 02 August 2011, 563 laboratory-confirmed cases have been reported to WHO, 330 of whom have died - an alarming case fatality of 59% (WHO 2011). The underlying clinico-pathological reasons for this extraordinarily high case fatality rate, far higher than even the 2.5% estimated case fatality of the notorious 1918 pandemic (Murray et al. 2006; Taubenberger & Morens 2006), is still not clear (Abdel-Ghafar et al. 2008; Korteweg & Gu 2008; Michaelis, Doerr & Cinatl 2009; Thanh, Van Doorn & De Jong 2008; Uyeki 2009). Fortunately very few cases of possible human-to-human transmission have been reported (Kandun et al. 2005; Ungchusak et al. 2005). Whether the virus will jump the species barrier and established itself in humans is a public health question of prime concern. A necessary, but not sufficient, first step would need to be a receptor switch from a haemagglutinin with a specificity for the a-2,3-galactose saccharide terminal prevalent in the gastrointestinal tract of birds to the a-2,6-galactose saccharide terminal prevalent in the upper respiratory tract of mammals including humans (Gabriel, Herwig & Klenk 2008; Ge & Wang 2011; Hatta et al. 2007; Uiprasertkul et al. 2005). Given the extremely high case fatality of these sporadic H5N1 cases, a pandemic caused by this virus would indeed be a most formidable prospect. Mortality rates rivaling, or even exceeding, those of the 1918/1919 pandemic are feared - it has been extrapolated from 1918 data that up to 62 million excess deaths could be expected (Murray et al. 2006). Fortunately the receptor switch and sustained crossing of the species barrier has not occurred in the 14 years since the first cases were observed in humans. The one positive outcome of the H5N1 alarm has been the mobilisation of energies to effectively prepare for a future inevitable pandemic (Breiman et al. 2007; Flahault et al. 2006; Uscher-Pines et al. 2006; Webby & Webster 2003). This pandemic preparedness planning did stand in good stead when the next unexpected pandemic arrived early in 2009.
Swine influenza H1N1
The swine influenza pandemic of 2009 took all by surprise. Its advent was not in south-east Asia as was usual for pandemics and from where the next pandemic was anticipated, but this time it arose in North America. The first intimation of an impending pandemic was an unusually high rate of hospitalisations of acute respiratory disease in Mexico in late March 2009 and the following month in California. These early observations alerted public health officials to infections with a novel H1N1 influenza A virus of swine origin (Chowell et al. 2011). Within several months the virus had rapidly spread throughout the world and on 11 June 2009 the World Health Organisation (WHO) raised the pandemic alert to level 6, that is, the formal declaration of a pandemic - the first influenza pandemic since 1968 (WHO 2009). The 2009 pandemic was also a first from a number of other respects (Leung & Nicoll 2010). Amongst the 'firsts', the 2009 pandemic was the first pandemic where intensive care facilities were available and this provided some intimation as to the severity of this pandemic. The mortality was in fact significantly less than preceding pandemics in most of the world and in many parts even less than the immediately preceding seasonal influenza epidemic. However, what was reported from many countries around the world was an unusually high rate of hospitalisation amongst young patients, many of whom were ostensibly healthy, as well as a heavy load on intensive care facilities (Lipsitch et al. 2009). The relative mildness expressed in terms of mortality rates, led to concerns being expressed, such as by the Council of Europe, as to whether the WHO had not been overhasty in declaring a pandemic (Social Health and Family Affairs Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe 2010). This also gave rise to a debate in the literature as to what exactly constitutes a pandemic (Doshi 2011; Morens, Folkers & Fauci 2009). If the criterion of rapid extra-seasonal spread and heavy involvement of young individuals who often appear to be otherwise healthy, are important elements defining pandemics, then certainly the 2009 pandemic fits into the pandemic definition. Another 'first' was that, for the first time, it was a pandemic not due to the advent of a new subtype of influenza but rather that of an existing seasonal subtype, H1N1, which had become antigenically distant enough from the pre-existing seasonal H1N1 influenza virus so as to behave like a characteristically pandemic virus, especially with respect to the rapidity of its spread worldwide through a largely non-immune population. How the new pandemic virus arose is a story of multiple reassortment events with frequent crossings of the species barrier between humans and animals, especially pigs. The new reassortants went largely undetected and their effects were largely unnoticed because of inadequate surveillance and awareness (Garten et al. 2009; Ilyushina et al. 2010; Trifonov, Khiabanian & Rabadan 2009). Evidence points to the introduction of influenza A (H1N1) into the pig population at about the same time as the 1918 pandemic in humans and it was then also responsible for widespread disease in pig herds (Zimmer & Burke 2009). An isolated outbreak of swine influenza A (HswN1) in humans in 1976 amongst military personnel in Fort Dix, New Jersey, resulted in 13 cases of severe respiratory disease and one death, but the infection did not spread further (Gaydos et al. 2006). A small outbreak of 12 cases of human infection due to a triple reassortant swine influenza virus with genes from swine, avian and human viral sources was detected in the USA between 2005 and 2009 (Dawood et al. 2009). The 2009 pandemic virus now designated as A/California/04/2009 pandemic (H1N1) probably arose from a subsequent reassortment event of this North American reassortant with a Eurasian lineage swine virus (Garten et al. 2009; Ilyushina et al. 2010; Trifonov et al. 2009). Antigenically this new virus had by now achieved a great antigenic distance from the human seasonal influenza A (H1N1) virus circulating at the time resulting in little cross-immunity between them. However the relative sparing of older persons in the 2009 pandemic was largely due to some degree from pre-existing immunity as a result of the structural and antigenic similarity between the haemagglutinin molecule of the pandemic virus and the H1N1 viruses which had circulated earlier in the 20th century and to which older persons had been exposed to (Xu et al. 2010). Direct transmission from humans to pigs has also been demonstrated (Pereda et al. 2010) and reassortment in pigs, which are susceptible to both human and avian viruses (often referred to as the the 'mixing vessel') pose an ongoing risk to human health. This again emphasises the crucial importance for public health of ongoing robust influenza surveillance of animals such as pigs (Mitka 2010; Vijaykrishna et al. 2010).
Our understanding of the dynamics of influenza epidemics and pandemics has improved by leaps and bounds since the avian and swine influenza events of the last decade. An essential component of preparedness for future pandemics by public health bodies must now involve a much greater focus on surveillance of animals and birds to avoid being caught out again by surprises such as occurred in 2009 with the swine flu pandemic. The concept of a one health framework to unify the sciences of human, veterinary and ecological health has come none too soon to deal with future emerging infectious diseases in humans (Coker et al. 2011; Kuehn 2010; Mazet et al. 2009). The importance of the one health perspective has been graphically illustrated by one of the most important of the emerging diseases in humans, influenza (Pappaioanou & Gramer 2010; Powdrill, Nipp & Rinderknecht 2010).

Imagine how this scene would look for you if you had one of the following…
Diabetic retinopathy
Macular degeneration
What is low vision?
When you have low vision, eyeglasses, contact lenses, medicine, or surgery may not help. Activities like reading, shopping, cooking, writing, and watching TV may be hard to do.
In fact, millions of Americans lose some of their sight every year. While vision loss can affect anyone at any age, low vision is most common for those over age 65.
Low vision is usually caused by eye diseases or health conditions. Some of these include age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataract, diabetes, and glaucoma. Eye injuries and birth defects are some other causes. Whatever the cause, lost vision cannot be restored. It can, however, be managed with proper treatment and vision rehabilitation.
You should visit an eye care professional if you experience any changes to your eyesight.
How do I know if I have low vision?
Below are some signs of low vision. Even when wearing your glasses or contact lenses, do you still have difficulty with-
- Recognizing the faces of family and friends?
- Reading, cooking, sewing, or fixing things around the house?
- Selecting and matching the color of your clothes?
- Seeing clearly with the lights on or feeling like they are dimmer than normal?
- Reading traffic signs or the names of stores?
These could all be early warning signs of vision loss or eye disease. The sooner vision loss or eye disease is detected by an eye care professional, the greater your chances of keeping your remaining vision.

LaRoche, Rendon worthy of ASG support
WASHINGTON -- Anthony Rendon and Adam LaRoche have been arguably the most productive members of the Nationals this season. They have come up big offensively and defensively for the Nats, and if they keep it up, the pair could be headed the All-Star Game this summer.
Both players are looking to play in their first All-Star Game.
WASHINGTON -- Anthony Rendon and Adam LaRoche have been arguably the most productive members of the Nationals this season. They have come up big offensively and defensively for the Nats, and if they keep it up, the pair could be headed the All-Star Game this summer.
Both players are looking to play in their first All-Star Game.
LaRoche, an 11-year veteran who finished sixth in the National League Most Valuable Player Award voting in 2012, is having a solid bounce-back year after struggling offensively for most of last season.
Rendon, 24, is in his first full Major League season after batting .265 with seven homers and 35 RBIs as a rookie with the Nats last season. He is on his first ballot, listed as Washington's second baseman despite the fact that the versatile infielder has played more games at third base thus far this year.
Also on the ballot for the Nationals are catcher Wilson Ramos, third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, shortstop Ian Desmond and outfielders Bryce Harper, Denard Span and Jayson Werth.
In-stadium voting will take place at Nationals Park from Sunday through June 20. Fans can cast their votes for starters at MLB.com and all 30 club sites -- online or on a mobile device -- using the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot Sponsored by Experian until Thursday, July 3, at 10:59 p.m. CT. The 2014 All-Star Game will be played at Target Field on Tuesday, July 15.
Fans may submit up to 25 online ballots, but they can also earn a one-time bonus of 10 additional online ballots. To access these additional online ballots, you must be logged into your MLB.com account when you submit any online ballot. If you do not have an MLB.com account, register on the site in accordance with the enrollment instructions for a free MLB.com account.
Fans this year once again can participate in the Home Run Derby Fan Poll. Fans will have the opportunity to select three players in each league who they would most like to see participate in the Home Run Derby. The 2014 Home Run Derby will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN HD, ESPN Deportes and ESPN Radio in the United States beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, July 14.
The 2014 American League and National League All-Star teams will be unveiled on the 2014 MLB All-Star Game Selection Show during the weekend of July 5-6, with further details to follow on MLB.com. Immediately following the announcement of the AL and NL All-Star rosters, fans can begin voting to select the final player for each league's 34-man roster via the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Final Vote Sponsored by Experian. Fans will cast their votes from a list of five players from each league over the balloting period.
And the voting doesn't end there. The final phase of All-Star Game voting will again have fans participating in the voting for the Ted Williams All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award presented by Chevrolet. During the Midsummer Classic, fans will vote exclusively online at MLB.com via the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com MVP Vote Sponsored by Pepsi, and their voice will represent 20 percent of the overall vote that determines the recipient of the Arch Ward Trophy.
MLB.com will provide extensive online coverage of the All-Star Week festivities.
The 85th All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS, and worldwide by partners in more than 200 countries via MLB International's independent feed. ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide national radio coverage of the All-Star Game. MLB Network and SiriusXM will also provide comprehensive All-Star Week coverage. For more information, please visit allstargame.com.

ENG 123 History of the English Language
This course draws upon archaeology, literature, linguistics and social history in order to familiarize you with the development of the English language. We will examine texts written in Old, Middle, and Early Modern English, placing them in their cultural contexts to explore how environment shapes language and language shapes environment. In this class we will consider the political and social aspects of language from prehistory to the present and engage with primary sources in their original languages. We will discuss current political and social issues like Ebonics, pidgins, and English-only "nativism" movements. Students will present a final project that address current, language-related debates such as English as a global language, the impact language has upon power structures or how language and cultural authority are linked. This course is offered in the second half, spring semester.

ESP Chip-Sational! While the effect is an old one, our new method and props bring this into the 21st. century. No expense has been spared to bring you a truly first rate effect. The quality of the woodwork is typical Viking quality, with great attention to detail. The chips provided are made of the finest professional material. The instructions have been updated and improved to give the performer maximum effect.
EFFECT: The performer shows the audience two sets of five ESP chips. These will be used in a Psychic experiment involving one of the spectators. The twist is, the spectator will actually be able to 'read the performer's mind'!
The performer places a chip inside the two compartment box, face-down, followed by the spectator placing his impression of what he 'feels' matches the performer's chip in the remaining empty hole. The performer always goes first. When all 10 chips have been placed in their respective holes they are tipped out on the base and one by one are shown to match perfectly! The spectator actually predicts the performers choices and is 100% correct!
Things to remember:
The outcome can be different every time and although the trick is not completely self-working it is very easy to do. Highly recommended for mentalists, collector's and close-up performers.
Mahogany base with walnut lid and mahogany inlay, hand-crafted box; custom chips and complete instructions.
Box measures: 4 1/4" x 2 1/4" x 1 9/16"; chips measure 1 5/8" diameter.

It's official, Telstra has announced the HTC TITAN 4G, which will be the first Windows Phone to make use of the faster network speeds. After weeks (if not months) of speculation and anticipation from Australian Windows Phone fans, the carrier has finally released details surrounding the HTC monster device. It's actually the HTC TITAN II that launched in the U.S., but will be branded as the HTC TITAN 4G.
This is great news for those who are awaiting for a 4G Windows Phone as this beast of a smartphone not only packs 4G speeds, but a 16MP camera, which we positively reviewed. Will Irving, Group Managing Director, Telstra Business comments:
"Windows Phone fans will soon be able to surf the mobile web, respond to email and access work documents faster than before on the HTC Titan4G – Australia's first 4G Windows Phone which launches next Tuesday on the Telstra Mobile Network." In a clear pitch to business users and enterprise customers. Australian small businesses have embraced smartphones to help them work where they want and to stay responsive to customers and new business opportunities.
The launch of the nation's first 4G Windows Phone means small businesses can perform even more advanced tasks from the palms of their hands – like handling larger emails on the go, capturing and sending high-resolution images and video and accessing emerging cloud-hosted services direct from their smartphone screen. Best of all, Windows Phone is incredibly easy to navigate and immediately familiar to anyone who uses Microsoft's popular Office software."
So we know it's the bees-knees, what about pricing? You can get your own for free on the $79 Freedom Connect plan (after using an included MRO bonus), which includes $800 worth of voice calls and MMS, unlimited SMS and 2GB data. The phone will be available outright for $888, should plans not be up your street.
Business customers can pick up the TITAN 4G for just $8/mo after using their MRO bonus on the $70 Business Mobile Advantage plan (24 months). This includes unlimited SMS, free voice calls to eligible mobiles, and 1GB data.

On Thursday, May 7, 2009 members of the UCLA Anderson School of Management Board of Visitors and guests gathered for a formal ribbon cutting ceremony to dedicate the Jim Easton Global Connection Classroom.
Outside the newly-completed classroom, UCLA Chancellor Gene Block welcomed attendees, giving gratitude to Jim Easton for his generosity across the UCLA campus. UCLA Anderson Dean Judy Olian thanked Easton for being a visionary philanthropist who has donated significantly to UCLA Anderson.

The classroom's features are controllable via a user-friendly touch screen at the podium or from a separate control room, which is equipped with a multi-image display for real time classroom monitoring. These technology enhancements enable students and faculty to connect in real-time with other students, partners and executives from across the globe.
After the dedication ceremony, attendees received a special demonstration of the classroom's technology features presented by UCLA Anderson computing services representatives Gabriel Ruiz and Aura Lippincott.

Well this is a first, tonight I'll be watching the Super Bowl from a hospital room.
My wife gave birth to our second daughter, Madeline Sue, on Friday afternoon, so tonight the three of us will be watching the biggest football game in the world from the Clark Memorial Hospital in Jeffersonville, Ind.
I might do some live blogging of the game, depending on how many diapers I have to change, but first things first, what's your prediction?
I'm going to go with the 49ers, 27-24.

text: Hi folks, An update on my Ku dish, the result of some lite poking around. Links to pictures, below. The receive LNB has a sticker on it claiming "11.7-12.2 ghz", so this is a bit outside of the ham band. Judging from the construction, it looks like it's circularly polarized, and is fed with about a 3/4" round waveguide. According to another Ham, it appears to have what he called a "ceramic oscillator" or something like that, feeding a mixer for a low-gHz IF. He guesses the IF out is in the 1 to 2 ghz range. Since there's not a lot of filtering, and nothing is crystal controlled, we suspect that it should not be too hard to re-tune down to the 10-10.5 ghz range. It somewhat depends on whether the LO injection is on the high or low side, hopefully low. He's also worried if the waveguide is the right size. The transmit side of things appears to be linearly polarized, and at a higher frequency (guessing by the constrictions in the feed pipe). I haven't opened the full Tx module (didn't have a Torx screwdriver handy), so I don't know what's under the shield inside. Outside the shield are a bunch of parts, nothing resembling a transmitter... Their website talks about it putting out a couple of watts. I haven't opened up the control box yet. Some pictures, below. Any additional hints would be appreciated! The whole dish. Looking on the website, the new ones seem to be round; hopefully, they haven't changed the electronics part... http://home.wavecable.com/~ko6th/IMG_0115.JPG Side view of some of the plumbing. LNB is at the left, and the back of the feed horn is to the right. The transmitter is piped in from below. We are guessing that the lumps in the plumbing between the "T" and the LNB is a filter of some sort, keeping the Tx from frying the Rx. The crud on the parts is the remains of a rather large wasp nest that was waiting for me inside the plastic hood. http://home.wavecable.com/~ko6th/IMG_0123.JPG Outside of the LNB, with the round flange for the waveguide, and one of the feed probes. The other one is on the back side of the PCB, coming down from the top (up from the bottom on the next picture). http://home.wavecable.com/~ko6th/IMG_0131b.JPG Inside the LNB, with the cover and shield removed. The feed is on the right, and we believe the LO is the round doughnut thing just to the lower left of center. There's a set screw on the shield cover that comes down over the ring, to adjust the frequency. There's one filter section in the middle that might need tweeking. The IF comes out the upper left. http://home.wavecable.com/~ko6th/IMG_0130b.JPG Transmit module, with the inside shield still on. Haven't done much analysis on this yet... Where did I put that Torx? http://home.wavecable.com/~ko6th/IMG_0132b.JPG So, I turn it back to you guys... Any further thoughts?

But, I kind of don't care much about the dish itself - it's probably a bit big /heavy for my Az/El rotor setup, though it's hard to tell with the huge steel support mount still attached. I nearly wrenched my back out carrying it over to my side yard this morning. (I think the Advil is wearing off... oow) > > But, back to the pre-amp and other electronics pieces... I found a reference to the Hughes DirecWay (not wav) service on the Web. Looks like the stuff runs in the Ku Band (11-14.5 ghz, according to Wikipedia), and has a 0.5-2 watt transmitter, depending on model. Sounds like it's possibly a good bit out of band for P3E needs, and I'm not much good with microwave hacking. Am I better off taking another two pills and putting it back on the pile, or is there a reasonable chance that I can do some simple (think "Drake") modifications to get it to work? > > Greg KO6TH > > > ________________________________ >> From: w7lrd at comcast.net >> To: ko6th_greg at hotmail.com; kc6uqh at cox.net; amsat-bb at amsat.org >> Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] Re: DirecWav satellite internet useful? >> Date: Tue, 27 May 2008 17:14:01 +0000 >> >> Greg- They seem to be an off center feed antenna, similar to the old primestar dish of which I have been successfully using for several years.
