text: The first official data in a murky sea of rumors regarding the power numbers on the 2009 Nissan 370Z has emerged in the form of an easy-to-miss photo caption on the LA Auto Show website. The power output of the fresh 3.7-liter V6 is a confirmed 332 HP, up 26 from the previous 3.5-liter, partly as a result of the new whizbang VVEL system, or Variable Valve Event and Lift. For more on this dark magic acronym and other things setting the 370Z apart from it's predecessor, hit the jump.The redesigned Fairlady Z breaks through the usual bloat-a-thon most automakers disguise as platform development and gets both a smaller wheelbase and lightweight body materials. The innovative Variable Valve Event and Lift system is Nissan's take on how the greasy bits in this new engine should be controlled. VVEL gives the Engine Control Module complete control of both valve lift and timing using DC stepper motors to increase cylinder head flow efficiency. Translation: More power, better fuel economy and greater responsiveness. Transmission choices include a 6-speed that actually does the heel-toe downshift throttle blip for you electronically or a 7-speed automatic specifically tailored to the killjoy tastes of Buzz Killington.

2014 NCAA East Preliminary Entry List
INDIANAPOLIS – Four Retriever athletes are set to represent the UMBC track and field program at next week's NCAA East Preliminaries at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, the NCAA announced in releasing the meet entry lists on Thursday evening.
Seniors Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU), Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone), and Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley), as well as sophomore Vincent Rentzsch (Oranienburg, Germany/Elite Sportschule Potsdam), will all compete for the Black and Gold in the Sunshine State, in an attempt to reach the 2014 NCAA Championships in Oregon.
Long, the repeat winner of the America East Most Outstanding Male Track Athlete award, swept the 100m and 200m dash events for the second straight year at the conference meet back in early May. Last week at the IC4A Championships at Princeton, Long won the 100m dash. He is seeded 26th in the 100m with his top time of 10.36, and 27th in the 200m event with his best time of 20.86. Both times rank second in the UMBC record book behind only current head coach David Bobb.
Proctor will compete in the 110m hurdles in Jacksonville after winning the America East title for the third time in four years, and placing fourth at the IC4A meet. He broke his own school record in the event in April with a time of 13.88, which ranks 17th in the region heading into the prelims.
Smith competed at the 2014 NCAA Indoor Championships in the 800m run back in March after a record-breaking winter season, and has continued his form outdoors. He claimed the school record in the event at the Mason Spring Invitational in April and has since snapped it twice, including last week at Princeton in the prelims. He then went on to win the gold medal the next day. His top time of 1:48.72 sits 19th in the region as he tries to become the fourth Retriever athlete to qualify for both national meets in a calendar year.
Rentzsch made the trip to Oregon last year after recording a personal-best and school record in his final javelin throw of the NCAA East Preliminaries in Greensboro. The sophomore, who has rested this past month, still ranks 32nd in the East Region with his best season throw of 66.09m (216'10") at the FSU Relays back on March 21.
The 2014 NCAA East Preliminaries will be held at UNF's Hodges Stadium and will begin on Thursday, May 29 with the men's 400m hurdles. The top-12 finishers in each event will automatically move on to the 2014 NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore (June 11-14).

Story highlights
- The Obama administration proposes a $156 million boost in Alzheimer's funding
- A $50 million increase for NIH research will take effect this year, on top of the current $450 million
- Another $80 million research increase is proposed for next year, along with $26 million for related concerns
- Up to 5.1 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's
The Obama administration will push for a $156 million increase in funding for Alzheimer's research over the next two years, the Department of Health and Human Services announced Tuesday.
The National Institutes of Health will commit another $50 million in funding this year, and the White House will propose an additional $80 million as part of President Barack Obama's budget proposal for the next fiscal year. The new research funding will help support both basic and clinical research designed in part to improve therapy and identify genes associated with a heightened risk of the disease.
Another $26 million would be allocated starting next year for caregiver support,education, and public awareness, among other things.
Currently, the NIH spends $450 million annually on research into Alzheimer's, which afflicts as many as 5.1 million Americans. The total number of Americans with Alzheimer's could more than double by 2050, according to the federal government.
Alzheimer's is "a disease that takes a devastating toll on millions of Americans," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said. "Reducing the burden of Alzheimer's disease on patients and their families is an urgent national priority."
Tuesday's announcement was part of the administration's "We Can't Wait" initiative, a series of measures designed to highlight executive branch action in contrast to legislative gridlock.
While researchers welcomed the proposed increase, they also noted that funding for Alzheimer's still lags significantly compared to funding for other major ailments. Last year, the NIH spent $3 billion on research into AIDS, $4.3 billion on heart disease, and $5.8 billion for cancer, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
Over the next four decades, Alzheimer's care is projected to cost the United States approximately $20 trillion, according to the association.
Alzheimer's, an irreversible brain disorder that gradually erodes memory and cognitive function, is currently the sixth-leading cause of death in America, the association notes.

Published on: June 30, 2013His ex-wife Marilyn DIshman confirmed the sad news on Facebook that Jim had passed yesterday June 29, 2013.
Kelly began his career into 1970s superstardom after graduating from University of Louisville, Kentucky.
After winning the middleweight title at the 1971 International Karate Championships in Long Beach, California he opened his own school (dojo).
Acting alongside actors John Saxon and kung fu legend Bruce Lee in "Enter the Dragon" Kelly was introduced to big screen action films.
Displaying impressive fighting skills and a cool-cat smooth delivery as an actor, Kelly taunted the film's villain Han with the memorable line, "Man, you're like something out of a comic book."
Dragon's producer Fred Weintraub had heard about Kelly's dojo in Los Angeles, and was immediately taken with the lanky star's charisma.
His popularity landed Kelly starring roles in other so-called "blackploitation" films including "Black Belt Jones" "Black Samurai" and "Melinda".
He earned a three-film contract with Warner Brothers and made "Three the Hard Way" with Jim Brown and Fred Williamson among many others.
After dropping out of movies in 1983, Kelly became a professional tennis coach and played on the senior tournament.
Jim was still mobbed at conventions and had attended the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con convention.
The cause of his death is as yet unknown
KELLY, Jim (James Milton Kelly)Born: 5/5/1946, Paris, Kentucky, U.S.A.

You're missing on a lot of decor opportunities if you're utilizing the space at the foot of your bed for anything. It may seem like an insignificant thing to do but placing a bed bench there can really improve the decor and ambiance in the room. Bedroom benches are not must-have furniture piece but they definitely have an important role in the overall aspect of this space. The great thing about them is that there are so many different design possibilities and so many variations that you can be sure you'll find something that suits your style and needs. If not, you can always improvise or having something custom-made just for you.
Dark floors are particularly interesting. They tend to look dramatic but, at the same time, they are elegant and timeless and their versatility is just an impressive as their simplicity.

KITTERY, Maine — If all goes as expected, efforts to illuminate Memorial Bridge in 2013 will be a shining example of a community pulling together to commemorate a new piece of local history.
The Bridge Illumination Committee, a subcommittee of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation Public Outreach Committee, expects fundraising efforts to be successful by the end of the year raising money needed to illuminate the new Memorial Bridge upon the completion of its construction. The bridge is expected to open in July 2013.
Seacoast residents met Tuesday morning at the Kittery Town Hall to officially kick off fundraising efforts to illuminate the structure along with lighting designer, John Powell, and others involved present.
The intent, Peter Somssich, committee chairman, said is to create something "modest, affordable, and attractive."
Somssich said the project is one that's "practical" and "something everyone can support."
Powell, who has worked on a number of bridge illumination projects in Boston, said he jumped on the chance to work on a local bridge because of his Granite State ties — through his mother. He also said while some bridge projects are "an uphill battle" for one reason or another, this one, so far, has proved smooth.
"On this bridge, everything has moved right along," he said.
What makes this project unique will be the LED lighting used, which practically won't fade over time. Lighting will also be aimed downward rather than up so as not to add any light pollution in the area and mask the stars.
"I'm looking forward to working on this project," he said.
Somssich said the connection within the Seacoast that the bridge provides isn't just a physical one, but a "mental and emotional" one as well.
"It's an emotional uplift to local residents and visitors who come to the Seacoast," he said.
Committee members said they were "very confident" they would meet the $80,000 goal. And already at about $10,000, the group is well on its way.
Rose Eppard, committee member, spoke about fundraising efforts and plans.
She said in order to avoid the need to return checks should the group not meet its goal by the end of the year, people and businesses are encouraged to make pledges which will not be converted into cash until the $60,000 mark is reached.
At that mark, option 1, will see the Veteran's Plaque on the bridge illuminated along with both bridge towers and piers with white, dimmable LED lights. The $60,000 would provide five years worth of operations funding for the bridge.
Option 2, the $80,000 mark, will bring additional energy savings along with color lighting that can be changed as appropriate in addition to the actions mentioned for $60,000.
Checks will first go to the Portsmouth Historical Society so they remain tax deductible and then will go into a trust that will be established.
Packets for merchants who wish to donate will be available soon, she said.
Businesses in the greater York, Maine, and Portsmouth area who are already on board with the construction of the bridge and those with significant maritime interests along the river have already expressed interest in supporting the illumination effort. A mailing list from the "Save Our Bridge Committee" has also been generated.
Committee member Ben Porter who spoke before the group which also included Dennis Switzer of NHDOT, and Robert Markel, Kittery town manager, said he hopes the incentive to have a tax-deductible donation submitted before the end of the year will prompt people to donate.
"We would like very much to have this be a very fast, short campaign," he said.
A public media presentation is expected to be held Nov. 29 at the Portsmouth Public Library where a few designs for the illumination plans will be unveiled.
"We're hoping to create a new Seacoast icon that will likely outlive all of us," Somssich said.
Tax deductible pledges may be sent to, Rose Eppard, 129 Daniel St., Portsmouth, N.H. 03801. Eppard can also be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Worst of 2008: Robo Butch
For a couple of weeks in August, we were obsessed with Katie Holmes's jeans. Every blog, every style page, if it wasn't Michael Phelps, it was Robo Bride going all butch on Broadway with her pixie cut wearing her husband's denims. An exaggeration? You don't remember?
Time Magazine just declared Katie's Boyfriend Jeans one of the Top 10 Fashion Moments of the year. Like it or not, we were obsessed. And now, as just posted, she's trying it again with those cutoffs and leggings. Perhaps slightly less accessible. Like you don't wear those on your period.

Or are we genetically predisposed to hit a glass ceiling while our male colleagues surge ahead? Maybe neither? My wheels are spinning after skimming the results of a new Pew study of more than 2,000 millennial women between the ages of 18 and 32. Researchers say the good news is the wage gap is closing, women are more likely than men to obtain an education and workplace equality has improved. And yet: … there is no guarantee that today's young women will sustain their near parity with men in earnings in the years to come. Recent cohorts of young women have fallen further behind their same-aged male counterparts as they have aged and dealt with the responsibilities of parenthood and family. For women, marriage and motherhood are both associated with less time spent on paid work-related activities. For men, the onset of family responsibilities has a reverse effect on their career.

New Rules Help Troops Gain Commercial Driver's Licenses
- Details
- Category: News
- Created: Wednesday, 07 November 2012 10:32
- Last Updated: Wednesday, 07 November 2012 10:32
- Written by Administrator
In 2011, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration enacted the commercial learner's permit rule. It allows states to substitute two years of safe driving experience in qualifying military vehicles for the skills-test portion of the commercial driver's license test.
DiGiovanni said the Military Commercial Driver's License Act of 2012, which took effect in October, adds another boost for service members with military licenses who seek civilian credentials. The new legislation permits states to issue commercial driver's licenses to members of the Armed Forces who are stationed in a state, but not a resident of that state.
Because they move frequently, service members often maintain one state of residency. Service members who leave the military while living in a state other than their state of residency would previously have had to wait 30 days to a year to earn residency, DiGiovanni said.
He offered an example of the new act's provisions: suppose a service member is stationed in Texas but plans to leave the military and move to South Carolina. That person -- if he or she has the required driving experience -- can take the written commercial driver's license test in Texas while still on active duty, receive a license, and then transfer the license to South Carolina later on, DiGiovanni said. All 50 states have reciprocity agreements for commercial driving licenses, he noted.
The law applies to all active duty, reserve, National Guard, and Coast Guard members. About 10,000 truck drivers, mostly soldiers and Marines, separate from the military each year, according to defense officials. Tens of thousands of other motor vehicle operators, who may drive a vehicle as an additional duty, may also be affected.
DiGiovanni noted commercial license requirements vary by state, so service members should learn the specific rules for their state of residence.
He added each state is funded through the Department of Labor for a veterans outreach coordinator.
"You need to go to the website for a state that you're interested in, and search for the veterans outreach coordinator home page," he said. "... That should help you with what's available state-by-state."
DOD offers overall transition assistance through its revamped Transition Assistance Program, he said, which is the first place that service members very close to separating should check to determine what help they can access and what mandatory requirements they face in transition.
DiGiovanni noted DOD is working through its credentialing and licensing task force to incorporate post-military career planning throughout a service member's career cycle:
-- After initial technical training, when "there are many licenses and credentials that could be gained, once an individual graduates," he said.
-- After a few years' military experience. "Many [commercial] licenses and credentials also require experience, so that would be another time that we would look to have policy, or provide some guidance on counseling of our service members as to what their opportunities are," the director added.
-- Finally, when a service member first considers leaving the military, "... maybe a year to two years out, we would begin to talk to them about how they could leverage the skill sets they've learned while serving their country into something that could be useful to them as a career outside of the military, in the private sector," he said.
His office, he said, is working to develop and set policy to "help energize the services to provide that kind of counseling and guidance and awareness across a service member's career."
DOD's credentialing and licensing task force was created at the request of the White House, DiGiovanni said, but while his office puts policy in place, "in reality, we're really providing guidance. In the end, it's each of the services, and manpower, personnel [and] reserve affairs secretariats that really have the actions to implement what we're doing as a department ... to make sure our veterans are prepared to serve in the private sector."
The department's entire veteran employment effort, he said, is intended to honor veterans' service to the country, and to help them transition successfully to post-military life.
"I think [through] the 10 years of conflict, and the fact that we're downsizing the force, the fact that almost 300,000 people a year leave the Department of Defense -- that we've realized that this really is important to us, to look at individuals throughout their entire service," he said.
DOD also gains something by helping service members to transition successfully, DiGiovanni noted.
"Getting certain licenses and credentials ... [broadens] one's perspective, and therefore enhances the professionalism of the force," he said.
The second advantage the department gains, he said, is in recruiting capability.
As the department's licensing and credentialing efforts move ahead, recruiters can point out to prospective military drivers that they'll not only receive military skill training but also transferable, private-sector job qualifications, DiGiovanni said.

Constantine Maroulis is singing the praises of fatherhood.
The long-haired season four "American Idol" alum turned Broadway rocker said Sunday that he's expecting his first child with girlfriend and "Rock of Ages" co-star Angel Reed, People reported.
"It's a beautiful thing," Maroulis told People on the red carpet at New York's 40/40 Club. "It's part of life."
Maroulis, 34, who met Reed last year on the set of the Broadway rock musical, said he's "just living every day right now, trying to do good work and provide for family long term."
Reed has been an ensemble member of "Rock of Ages" since 2008, according to People.
Maroulis is set to take his Tony-nominated "Rock of Ages" role national in the fall.

Rumour: Duke Nukem Forever Now in Development at Borderlands Dev Gearbox
Anonymous "sources claiming to have knowledge of the situation" whisper to Kotaku that 3D Realms' eternally troubled Duke Nukem Forever is now in...
Duke Nukem Forever will be released under Gearbox's name, the sources claimed. One indicated that a playable demo might be released later this year. Unsurprisingly, DNF publisher 2K Games, creator 3D Realms and Gearbox have not confirmed this. While Gearbox involvement in DNF has been rumoured before, this time Gearbox president Randy Pitchford hinted that--in Kotaku's words--"he may be able to better clarify the situation further at this year's Penny Arcade Expo,"which runs September 3-5. However, Pitchford might be teasing news of the unannounced Duke Begins, which Gearbox had worked on but was described in mid-2009 as "halted" "for the time being." In May, 3D Realms and publisher 2K Games settled their legal battle over Duke Nukem Forever, potentially meaning Duke could return if only the game could be finished--which is unlikely to happen at 3D Realms after most of the studio was laid off. "We've never said that Duke Nukem Forever has ceased development," said 3D Realms CEO Scott Miller in December 2009, explaining that "yes, we released the internal team, but that doesn't correlate to the demise of the project."
Duke Nukem Forever as it was under 3D Realms in 2008.

- A pair of transparent interchangeable lenses CAT 0 with HG-1600 treatment.
- A superior quality microfiber cover (30% polyamide and 70% polyester).
- And a rigid neoprene case.
The EAGLE White Tailed lenses incorporate Water Repellent technology and are sunglasses with magnetic front closure, adjustable length rods and FIT head band, a special holder that allows greater comfort for users with long hair and for the practice of sports activities with helmet.
The Eagle Fit White Tailed Sports Sunglasses are ideal for competitive athletes in challenging and wet environments such as sailors, surfers etc.
The flexible headband keeps the sunglasses firmly in place whilst running or moving in different conditions and positions. The magnetic closing feature and adjustable sides keep the sunglasses mobile and compact, making them foldable, adding comfort and remaining lightweight so it's easy to carry around.
A Long Life Polarised filter is is added to the lens of the sunglasses, removing any unwanted glare, giving brilliant visual contrast and enabling athletes to see more clearly, for example, off watery and reflective surfaces. Perfect for wet and extreme conditions.
The frames themselves are made from strong Polycarbonate material, resisting any shock or strong impact whilst competing or training in or outdoors. Making the sunglasses more durable and long lasting.
A 100% UV400 filter is added to all our sports sunglasses, protecting the eyes from harmful UV, enabling you to play, compete and work in environments where exposure to sun is constant and for a long period of time e.g. helping competitive sailors.
The Eagle Fit White Tailed Sports Sunglasses also have an Anti- Reflective coating, this cuts out any unwanted reflections, providing accurate vision for athletes such as those running in dim lighting during early mornings or late evenings.
You don't need to worry cycling or competing in wet conditions as the Eagle Fit White Tailed Sports Sunglasses come with a Super Hydrophobic filter that repels any rain or sweat from the lens as you perform, without leaving any marks or scratches, whilst maintaining great visual clarity!
With all of these super features, our sports sunglasses are ideal for a range of competitive sports such as sailing, surfing and fishing!
|All Revo lenses offer 100% protection from Ultraviolet (UV) light. Reducing the amount of Blue Light that enters the eye, resulting in greater contrast between colors and a more pronounced brightness of objects. Revo lenses block these harmful rays, effectively managing HEV light and offering further protection to the eye. Revo lenses block all harmful rays between 280 and 400 nm, managing HEV light and controlling the critical area of 380-455nm.
|All Diamond lenses involve coating the lens with a film of diamond-like carbon (DLC) which results in 10 times more scratch resistance than your typical glasses. With a focussed reduction surface friction, resulting in less spotting and a natural ability to shed water. This provides protection for the eye, and the ability to adapt and adjust to even the most harshest environments, whilst maintaining premium quality and service.
|All Flash lenses have mirrored coatings with a given tint, reducing the amount of light by upto 60% to the eye, whilst increasing clarity and visibility. These highly reflective lenses are merged with polarization, reflecting heat and glare. The flash coating comes into optimal effect in sports taken across sand, water, snow and even high altitudes.
|These lenses simply repel water, making visibility in harsh conditions and sports such as sailing even better. This is done by reducing surface friction, which means that water droplets do not stay on the lens.
|Anti Reflective
|This is an optical coating on the surface of the lens which reduces the reflection in the front and back of the sunglasses. This results in more light passing through to the eye, providing sharper vision and reducing glare.
|Ultraviolet protection stops the suns rays from damaging your eyes. For athletes in constant growth and training, its almost inevitable that you will have long, sustained exposure to sunlight and UV rays. Protection is vitally important in sports activities and terrain where UV rays can reflect off surfaces such as sand, water, snow etc.
|Polarization merged with AR helps to fully eliminate glare, especially when light is reflected off water or another surface. This increases depth perception, clarity and colours and removes instances where glare can cause temporary blindness.
|Polycarbonate lenses have become the industry standard for a lightweight, thin, high impact resistant material. Built into every single sports lens, this is a necessity for all sports eyewear and activities, making the lens durable, strong, automatically blocking UV and also compatible with other lens coatings such as AR.

A Houston woman filed a $123 million lawsuit contending that Facebook failed to remove a false profile of her created by a former friend who superimposed her face over pornographic images.
Meryem Ali in a revised suit filed this week in district court in Houston claims the former friend then invited Ali's friends and family to visit the profile page. The lawsuit said the "revenge porn" case caused Ali "significant trauma" and "extreme humiliation."
Ali claimed Facebook failed to act on repeated requests over many months to delete the page. The company did eventually remove the page.
The suit said damages being sought represent $0.10 for for each of the 1.23 billion Facebook users.
Facebook media representatives did not immediately comment on the claims.

Many hip-hop listeners were introduced to Uptown XO through the Oddisee-lead trio Diamond District, but he is more than a group member. The Washington D.C. lyricist has held his own through his agile rhymes and detailed storytelling about his hometown, compiling a collection of critically-heralded solo albums and mixtapes under his belt. His latest, Colour de Grey, continues his winning streak with the same combination of talent, attentiveness and principle.
XO's lyrics are still Ginsu sharp, his observation just as perceptive, and his beliefs remain opinionated. Most of his rhymes examine the conditions that prevent his crime-ridden, impoverished stomping grounds from improving, and his relationships with that environment and the people inside of it. He uses "Finding My Way" to narrate the process of maintaining a sense of self among a league of violence, drug dealing and fake friends, and "Reflection Eternal" gives props to his elders for helping instill such character despite his time in the streets. On "They Say," he encourages his listeners to have similar convictions, while warning them as well. "It amazes me how you all are scared to lead / While you're waiting for your savior / He lives in me / While you're waiting on your savior he lives in you / But know that they crucify those who speak the truth."
Listeners visiting the album after hearing Oddisee's robust production for Diamond District may be disappointed by a lack of appearances on Colour de Grey. But for the most part, AB the Pro holds his own for 13 of the record's 14 cuts. The Washington DC producer's sound is acoustic, giving a live feel to the album. "Spread Love" starts the album off well with an ambient backdrop that helps bind together XO's imagery and adage-laden bars, and he uses a smooth sample on "Needs And Wants" to back XO's tales of intimate moments and the eventual break-up with a significant other. One of the album's highlights, "Everyday" benefits from energetic bass plucks fueling the first two verses before whispered percussion takes over for the final minute.
Occasionally, some of the album's beats depend on subtleties so much that they fail to convey the strength behind XO's rhymes. Otherwise, Colour de Grey is another candid, conscientious effort by one of the DMV area's fledgling young talents.

A man who tried to rob people waiting outside an Atlanta store waiting to buy the new LeBron James sneakers was fatally shot by one of the customers, police said.
Atlanta police were investigating the early Saturday morning shooting, which occurred at Wish Atlanta, according to NBC affiliate WXIA.
Several customers were outside waiting to purchase the sneakers, called LeBron X Denim, when a man approached them, took out a firearm and attempted to rob them, said Officer John Chafee.
One of the customers took out his own weapon and shot the suspect, authorities said. The customer had the appropriate permit to possess the gun, according to WXIA.
"A number of witnesses were interviewed and this appears to be self defense," Chafee said in a statement.
No charges were immediately filed.
The sneakers cost $180, NBC News reported.

TigerSand Software, LLC Releases Friend Blend for iPhone/iPod touch
CLEMSON, SC – April 6, 2011 – TigerSand Software, LLC has announced today that their first phone utility app, Friend Blend, is now available for the iPhone and iPod touch. The app is exclusive to these devices. Friend Blend is a productive photo application that allows layer editing to modify a picture with another picture's elements. It allows a user to put their friend into any picture.
In Friend Blend, a user can simply add another person, pet, or any object to another picture using layer editing. "The key to the Friend Blend is simplicity," said Matthew Sanders, Managing Member of TigerSand Software. "We wanted to give iPhone users an app that would be useful, enjoyable, but most of all easy to use." Friend Blend allows users to customize their photos in countless ways, while keeping the interface simple by allowing the user to modify everything with simple gestures.
Friend Blend asks the user to select a photo from either the library or they can take a picture with the camera. This photo acts as the top layer where the user can cut out a hole with their finger, zoom in for a more precise cut, or use an eraser to make a detailed cut. When the user is done they then choose a photo for their under-layer. Once again, they have a choice between either their photo library or their camera. If the user chooses the camera, the camera will contain their top layer as an overlay, allowing the user to line up a perfect shot. Once both photos are selected, the user can now make edits to both photos allowing them to create the perfect picture. There is also a Facebook feature that allows the user to upload their pictures directly to Facebook.
Friend Blend is now available for $1.99 in the United States and is priced accordingly to other regions. Friend Blend is localized for 18 different languages and is available from the App Store.
Matthew Sanders, a student at Clemson University studying Computer Science, established TigerSand Software, LLC in 2011. TigerSand Software was created with the purpose of developing mobile software that is fun, entertaining, and useful to the everyday mobile device user.

Nordic Blue Has Bad Break
Just before Christmas, while at work--in the middle of moving to a new house and the worst winter weather the Pacific NW has seen in a long time--I managed to slip and break my wrist. I didn't plan it that way, since this Mountain Girl knows how to walk on snow and ice, but there was an unseen patch of ice underneath soft snow that I could hardly have avoided. I am in a cast and typing one-handed, so this is going to slow me down for a few weeks. I hope you each had a safe and warm holiday with your loved ones, whatever the weather in your neck of the woods.

Chery, I've been thinking of you and wondering how you're surviving the snow. Take lots of Vitamin C and calcium to mend that break. Between you, me, and Apple, the genea-bloggers are getting to be a gimpy lot! ;-)

How awful! I'm so sorry. Is there anything I can do?
Mountain Girl comes off the mountain to the worst snow in years in the lowlands. And now this.
Protect that wrist and stay in until Spring, when the snow melts. Let me know how are, no long emails or posts. You need dictating software.
Take care, I'm thinking of you.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Support Materials
students' responses and questions are the focal points for learning,
discussion, and exploration. By fostering the growth of a literary
community, teachers serve as expert readers and facilitators,
moving the process along with layers of questioning, while at
the same time connecting students' ideas, as well as challenging
them. Equally important in the process is the ability for students
to recognize that their input is invaluable and that their unique
perspectives are not only welcome, but also critical in moving
the class thinking and learning along.
Envisionment-building classrooms invite students to share their
multiple perspectives, stressing that diversity is a strength.
Students are engaged in discussions where multiple vantage points
are explored for the sake of building a rich understanding for
each student. This learning environment creates the expectation
that students are to challenge one another, as well as challenge
their own ideas.
While not all envisionment-building classrooms have to look
and feel the same, they are guided by some basic principles

Finally, people are coming out in droves and talking openly about the links between climate change, extreme weather events… and food prices.
In the US, one of the largest producers of wheat, soy and corn, the Department of Agriculture has recorded a 12 % decrease in yield per acre due to "scarce rainfall coupled with record-breaking temperatures".
This has global repercussions, even in developed nations. In Australia, for instance, a parcel of soy meal - one of the main ingredients of chicken feed – was quoted at AU$460. But as of July 9 the price is AU$645. Indeed, the Sustainable Consumption Institute in the UK claims food that families now take for granted could become too expensive if global temperatures rise in line with the current trends and reach 39.2 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius).
In the developing world where food expenditure makes up a larger proportion of daily budgets, the effects can be devastating. In 2008, and again 2011, record global food prices contributed to a steep rise in poverty and hunger, as well as sparking rioting and political instability around the world.
So why, in 2012, do we continue to experience a situation where food prices are increasingly volatile, and where so many people are denied their fundamental right to food? We would argue that there are five fundamental causes:
Greenpeace is calling on governments to take action to end this recurring nightmare. Key steps needed to prevent future food crises include cutting greenhouse gas emissions to slow climate change, scaling-up investment in more resilient and ecological agricultural practices, addressing inequalities in income and access to resources, and drastically cutting food waste from field to fork. Regulators must also be given the power to strictly limit the role of speculative capital in food commodity futures markets.
The weather will always be beyond human control. But measures to prevent runaway climate change that do impact weather, develop more sustainable farming systems, improve the economic position of poor food producers and consumers, and protect the most vulnerable from predatory speculative behaviour, definitely lie within our grasp.

Healthy McClellan out to earn spot on Texas' staff
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Rangers pitcher Kyle McClellan is 100 percent healthy. He just needs to get all his muscles back into pitching shape after his battle with elbow and shoulder problems.
McClellan had to deal with pain in his shoulder for the past two years. It's why he pitched in just one game in the playoffs for the Cardinals in 2011, although the shoulder bothered him for much of the season. He made 16 appearances last year for St. Louis before going on the disabled list on May 18 with a strained right elbow.
But the problem was still the shoulder.
"I couldn't get my elbow above my shoulder," McClellan said. "The stress on the elbow was significant."
The problem was still evident when McClellan was close to coming off the disabled list in June. His mechanics were still out of whack and he was still feeling discomfort in his long-toss sessions. An MRI after the 2011 season showed only a minor tear in the labrum, but McClellan knew there was something wrong.
The doctors decided the only way to find out was through surgery. McClellan had the operation during the 2012 All-Star break and it was discovered that he had a "split" shoulder capsule in addition to some fraying of the labrum. The damaged capsule, which could not be detected through an MRI, was the source of McClellan's problems.
"I was relieved," McClellan said. "I knew something wasn't right and I wasn't able to fix it."
McClellan was not eligible for free agency this winter, but the Cardinals decided to release him rather than go to arbitration. The Rangers signed him to a Minor League contract with an invitation to Spring Training.
"It was not what I was hoping for," McClellan said. "I was hoping to finish out six years with the Cardinals. But it was nice to see other teams interested and Texas was one of the first to call."
McClellan spent five seasons as an integral member of St. Louis' bullpen, but was also 6-6 with a 4.21 ERA in 17 starts as a starter in 2011. Texas is going to give him a chance to win a job as the fifth starter.
"I've been asked for five years if I want to be a starter or a reliever," McClellan said. "My answer is I don't care. I didn't sign here hoping I would have a better chance of starting. I signed here because I felt it was a place my family would be more comfortable, there is an opportunity to win and it's an opportunity to reestablish myself. The biggest thing is showing I'm healthy and can I can be a contributing piece to a Major League team."

One in a weekly series about the Black AIDS Institute's Greater Than AIDS ambassadors, who are using their VIP status in Black America to increase awareness of HIV/AIDS and HIV testing and treatment.
"We're at a point where we need to ramp it up and talk about HIV even more than we have in the past," says hip-hop pioneer-actress MC Lyte (née Lana Moorer), 39, referring to her renewed charge to galvanize awareness about HIV/AIDS within the African American community.
In 1991 the Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling recording artist released a video for a song called "Eyes of the Soul," with each verse dedicated to a person who had either died from AIDS or was living with the virus. "I can't even tell you that I had lost someone or that I knew of anyone who had lost someone," says Lyte. "I just knew this disease was on its way to causing devastation in the world, but specifically in our communities, and that knowledge just scared the mess out of me." One of the first Black celebrities to do a PSA for AIDS awareness, Lyte always has had her finger on the pulse of the hip-hop community. Even 20 years later, she vows to continue educating young people about the disease.
"Pushing and promoting testing needs to happen much more frequently so that people know that it's just a thing that you do and not a stigmatized circumstance," says Lyte, who was featured in the 2010 BET documentary My Mic Sounds Nice: A True Story of Women and Hip Hop, now available on DVD. She currently hosts a weekend radio show on SiriusXM Radio. Soon she will be launching her own signature line of home decor, "The Lana Moorer Collection" by MC Lyte, and has self-published a book of poetry and inspirational messages, Just My Take, targeted to today's hip-hop generation. "When we talk about HIV more and we talk about testing more, it just becomes a part of our lives. Yeah."

It's a messy job, but totally worth it.
Before I dive into the world of marshmallows, it's interesting to note that most recipes contain corn syrup and/or raw egg whites (it makes them soft and fluffy). The problem is, I'm not a fan of corn syrup and most people freak out about raw eggs. So, what is one to do?
Use evaporated milk.
Yes, it's true. I'm not exactly sure what kind of magical powers it might posses… All I know is that evaporated milk makes the fluffiest marshmallows ever, without having to add any of the above ingredients. It's the best kept secret.
Here's another tip- your cooking tools are just as important as your ingredients. If you're short on any of them, the process is going to be a little bit tricky. You will need the following (in this order):
- Patience
- Clutter free workspace
- Stand mixer
- Cooking spray
- Non-stick 8×8 or 9×13 pan
- Parchment paper
- Candy thermometer
- Rubber spatula
- Sifter
- Powdered sugar & cornstarch
- Sharp knife, pizza wheel or kitchen scissors
And now, kindly prepare yourself for a fleet of snowy white photos with comprehensive instructions at the end of the post (I had to lure you in somehow- this is a long one!) Sunglasses are optional.
All of that for homemade marshmallows?!
Yes! They taste way better than store-bought and you have control over the quality of ingredients. Of course they're a bit messy, and yes your fingers will get sticky- but the truth is, they're a lot of fun to make. Once you have this basic recipe down you can add different extracts and toppings to make them your own. Follow these tips and you will have beautiful, fluffy marshmallows.
- Space is your friend. If your kitchen lacks counter space, move this project to a clean kitchen table. Position your stand mixer near an outlet, and set up all cooking tools and ingredients before you begin.
- Prepare your pan right away. Marshmallows set very quickly, so be sure to have your pan prepped and ready to go. All pans need to be generously coated in cooking spray and lined with parchment paper. I recommend using something non-stick, but glass or metal will do.
- Do I really need a candy thermometer? Yes. In order for your marshmallows to set properly, the milk and sugar must be heated to approximately 250 F. Regular thermometers only go up to 220 F. Don't chance it.
- Get to know your rubber spatula. This is the one and only tool that will get the fluff out of the bowl. Keep in mind, because marshmallows are very sticky you will not be able to scrape every last bit out of the bowl. You will not have a perfectly smooth finish to the top as well. This is all OK.
- Powdered sugar & cornstarch… why both? Even though powdered sugar has a small amount of corn starch in it, additional cornstarch acts as a moisture barrier preventing the marshmallows from becoming sticky. Make sure to sift your mixture before coating the marshmallows (you don't want any clumps!).
***And last but not least- because evaporated milk is a tan color, your mixture will initially be brown. Do not fret! After 10-15 minutes of mixing on high speed your marshmallows will become a soft, creamy white color. I was skeptical at first but it's true.
- cooking spray
- ½ c. water + ¼ c.
- 3 tablespoons (3 packets) unflavored powdered gelatin
- 2 c. sugar
- ½ c. evaporated milk
- 1 vanilla bean or 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1½ c. powdered sugar
- ½ c. cornstarch
- clutter free workspace
- stand mixer
- non-stick 8x8 or 9x13 pan*
- parchment paper
- candy thermometer*
- rubber spatula
- sifter
- sharp knife, pizza wheel or kitchen scissors
- Generously coat the bottom and sides of your pan with cooking spray.
- Cut the parchment paper to fit the inside of your pan. You should have about 2 inches of overhang on each side. These will be your 'handles' for easy removal.
- Pour ½ cup water into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add the gelatin and allow to soften, about 10 minutes.
- In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, and ¼ cup water. Whisk over low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Immediately reduce to a simmer, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 247- 250 F, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the hot syrup to the gelatin mixture and beat on low speed until incorporated.*See important note below.
- If using a vanilla bean, slice it in half lengthwise with a pairing knife. Scrape out the seeds using the blade of the knife. Add the seeds (or vanilla extract) to the bowl.
- Increase the speed to high and beat until thick, fluffy, and tripled in volume, about 10-15 minutes. Your marshmallows will be a glossy, creamy white color.
- Using a rubber spatula, quickly scrape out the mixture into the prepared pan. Lightly coat your spatula with cooking spray and smooth out the surface. Marshmallows set very quickly, so you will need to work fast. Do not worry about getting every last bit of marshmallow out of the bowl or making the top perfectly smooth!
- Allow the mixture to set, uncovered (not refrigerated) for at least 8 hours- overnight.
- After the marshmallows have set, combine the powdered sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl. Whisk thoroughly.
- Spoon some of the mixture into a sifter, and sift over the top of the marshmallows and a cutting board.
- Using the parchment handles, remove the marshmallows from the pan and place onto your board.
- Dust a large chef's knife, pizza wheel, or kitchen scissors with the powdered sugar/cornstarch mixture so that they do not stick to the marshmallows.
- Cut the marshmallows into 1-inch squares.
- Toss the marshmallows into the mixture to prevent sticking.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Since ancient times, India has known atheists, but I have not heard of any agnostic person tlll in recent past. The idea of
agnosticism seems to have come to India from the west. This word therefore puzzles me. A theist afirms that yes, there
is a god in whom he believes. An atheist says that no, there is no god. Both of these are firm statements and each
person making these has something to say that is specific. However, the statement that "There is probably no god "
sounds hollow. It is as good as saying "There is probably some god." In either case, someone who says this, does not
appear to have much to say. If you have a 10% doubt that god may exist, you are an agnostic. It is the same if
you have 20% , 50% or 90% doubt. So where does agnosticism stand? Does it really mean anything? If an agnostic is
so much in un-resolvable doubt, should he declare himself as an agnostic, that is, a person not capable of resolving his
The usual excuse for such a doubt is that no one can be 100% sure of anything, but we are so sure of many things in life.
If we have doubt on any subject, we take pains to resolve our doubt. Is it so difficult to resolve a doubt on the existance
of god that it can never be resolved and so force a person to remain an agnostic for all his life? If this were so, there would
be no atheists in the world. Does the agnostic lack something that an atheist has? Or, does an atheist overstep a
limit of sound judgement?

I know, I got distracted.
If it's any consolation, Joan. These quacks are potentially as dangerous as their woo cousins the fundie theists, …and many atheists actually follow their advice.
As good an example as any of what happens when an atheist puts faith before evidence.
When I listen to scientists who perform what looks to me like sound science and continue to believe in god, I listen carefully to their explanations of science and religion. They almost always come down to feelings. "I had a shiver!" or "I felt engulfed by light!" Responses like that. I don't doubt their feelings, I do doubt their interpretations.
Neil deGrasse Tyson asked this question, "Why do 9% of hard scientists still believe in god?" He brings up a good point. Scientists know how to develop inquiry, how to design studies, how to separate feelings from reason.
Forgive me for getting distracted and distracting you by the article on Collins. My timer went off and I had to run an erand.
Glad you brought him up!
Neil deGrasse Tyson - agnostic atheist
Sure about that Richard?
Yeah, because I'm still seeing it as a position, not an identity.
Even if he doesn't want to be identified with people like P.Z. doesn't change his position on the question of the existence in a creator deity. He doesn't believe in god(s) = atheist, He cannot prove the non-existence of god(s) = agnostic.
Seriously dude, I don't self-identify as an atheist, agnostic or agnostic atheist, …they aren't identities, jobs, vocations, nationalities, ethnicities, hobbies, sports, etc, …they are positions.
They are merely answers to two different questions, one a non belief and another a non absolute certainty, on the existence of creator deities.
I would have a long label, perhaps infinite, if I self-identified by everything I didn't believe in, but could not by logic or evidence prove the absolute non-existence of.
I do believe in dangling prepositions, obviously.
I also don't go around calling myself a non-dentist for that matter
Some will probably understand this.
Seriously, how do you prove the non-existence of invisible pink unicorns? How do you justify your non-belief in them? How do you justify your non-belief in Thor? You did no answer my points previously but you keep on saying that abstinence is a valid position. It is not. Either you believe the claims or you do not. If you think those claims have some possible validity you are on the side of belief. There is no maybe. Go ahead and say that I can't know that but you can't know that I'm wrong. Saying that you are better because you don't want to play does not make you a sports hero. You keep telling me that I'm not responding with the right format but you don't address my questions. So maybe your world view is not supportable?
The straw man cometh...
"Seriously, how do you prove the non-existence of invisible pink unicorns? How do you justify your non-belief in them? How do you justify your non-belief in Thor?"
Why? They aren't believable, it's that simple, if you want proof they don't exist, I can't give it to you.
I can make many and myriad arguments as to the almost certain non-existence, but no proof of their non-existence. Belief, or non-belief doesn't require proof. (for the 11th time)
"you keep on saying that abstinence is a valid position."
Where, link to any post where I said this, seriously. I'm tired of this straw man bullshit, here's some more...
"Either you believe the claims or you do not. If you think those claims have some possible validity you are on the side of belief."
Do you even know what "believe in" means? Aside from this, I have never stated this: "those claims have some possible validity".
If you claim I have, again, post the link.
On to the next intellectually dishonest man of straw...
"Go ahead and say that I can't know that but you can't know that I'm wrong."
Actually, this is what I said:
(copied from my actual post)
"I'm not arguing that you can't know, but more to the point; that you don't know something you're claiming as an absolute certainty."
Show us your proof!
On to the next misrepresentation:
"Saying that you are better because you don't want to play does not make you a sports hero."
Another outright lie, …I never said any of this.
"You keep telling me that I'm not responding with the right format but you don't address my questions."
Go back and look! And, with paragraphs, block quotes and line breaks …it's called netiquette.
That you refuse to return the courtesy and expect me to wade through blocks of word salad to answer to misrepresentations, …is a bit much to expect.
"So maybe your world view is not supportable?"
And what "world view" would that be?
agnostic suggests a certain fear of letting go
Please don't let yourself get sucked into the linear view of positions on the existence of a god. I take the position of agnostic atheist. I do not believe in god, however I am human and completely capable of making mistakes. I'm willing to accept that I could be wrong, which is why I am agnostic. Theism has to do with beliefs, while gnosticism has to do with proof. A theist believes there is a god and an atheist doesn't. A gnostic person says "I have proof of the existence/non-existence of god" where and agnostic person would say "There is no evidence either way".
The liberation you felt, if I may suggest this to you, was probably because, like I did, you went from mostly believing to mostly not believing and finally saying to yourself "There is no god" or something of that nature. That is an INCREDIBLY fearful leap that effects me still. When I think about it, I still get a little queasy sometimes. I completely understand your position. You can read my conversion blog if you're interested to find out how much I understand your position. Religious thinking tends to be very linear, that is to say, black and white, making people misunderstand things like this. Their definitions for words like "fact", "theory", "hypothesis", and "truth" are skewed and they apply that skewed logic to everything. They are of the mindset that there is only one way to do things. That, alone, begs linear thinking.
I know richard, you did read your posts as well as other news pieces. I should not have put them here on this string and I shall move it off. As to the god reference, I wasn't meaning to direct that to you, just those foolish and uninformed people to voted such a law in. Sorry. I got carried away.
I'd be happy to have that post in both threads, and the blog, but as the last thread redirects to the blog, you may want to put it there if you want to just post it once. I'll be linking updates to the blog. This is picking up steam on all the major atheist pages on FB as well. That's where I picked up the news of the bill's passing.
I do agree with all your anger, this is absolutely unconscionable.
Thank you Richard. I appreciate your kind words and thoughtful suggestions.

Children's clothing can be rather expensive especially if you are shopping in boutiques or buying brand name clothing. I wanted to share with you some tips and suggestions so that you can learn how to save money on your children's clothing. If you are currently pregnant, I highly suggest that you read this post and don't go too crazy buying to many outfits for your child. They will grow out of them rather quickly and every few weeks it will seem like you are swapping out your baby's clothes for a bigger size. When I was pregnant with my oldest son, I didn't have any baby clothes for him and I used a combination of these tips to find him enough clothes to wear.
Don't fall into the trap that your kids have to have expenive name brand clothing on to make them look good.I was thankful that my grandmother taught me how to be frugal at a young age, we used to go garage selling together. We would pick up some great deals and new things for a fraction of the price, including, clothing. She also refused to pay top dollar for clothes and would scour the clearance racks looking for baragins. Of course, as a kid some of the things that she picked out weren't always things I liked. Looking back, I should have been a bit more thankful for the things I was given but that is hindsight now that I am a mom.
Today, I wanted to share with you some 6 ways to save money on clothing for your children.

My son is 6 years old, and I just got his BMI report card from school. It says
he is overweight. What does that mean? What do I do now?
– Amy
BMI, or body mass
index, is a calculation that uses height and weight to estimate how much body
fat a person has. Childhood obesity is on the rise and in response many schools are
adding BMI to the annual health screening of their students.
Though some parents are uncomfortable with the idea of a BMI report card, a child
who is overweight
is at increased risk of developing health problems, such as high blood pressure and
diabetes. Parents are encouraged to share this information with their child's doctor,
who can help interpret the results and make recommendations.
Here are some tips to help kids maintain a healthy weight:

EATON RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - Charles Gulliver of Eaton Rapids got his first look at his wife, Nina, more than 70 years ago and knew it was a sign of great things to come.
The Lansing State Journal reports that he was correct. The two will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary on Tuesday. He is 88 and she is 87. The Gullivers say they will celebrate their 70-year union with a family party.
Nina says the secret to their success is love and health.
Charles traces their marriage longevity to values. He says when they married, 'it was forever.'
They have four children, 10 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

With great support and acclaim, Pennsic Independent Publisher Heirusalem Crystoma was elevated to the Order of the Pelican at Midrealm Crown Tourney in the Shire of Narrental last Saturday, October 30th, A.S. XXXIX.
In their wisdom, HRMs Brannos and Rebekah granted the boon of Mistress Margherita Alessia, Society Exchequer, to elevate her protege. Sung in by the Rivenstar Madrigal Singers and followed by her family as well as the staff of the Pennsic Independent, House Rodentia, and House Von Metton-de Grinstead. Twelve notables from all across the Middle Kingdom as well as Ealdormere and Æthelmearc read the virtues of THL Heirusalem so that all may know her worthiness. With that, she accepted her cloak from Magistra Nicolaa de Bracton, Society Chronicler and Pennsic Independent Editor-in-Chief and also received the legendary Constellation medallion of the Order from close friend Master Sigulf Karlnar. After Their Draconian Majesties made her a Pelican, she was sung out of the hall to original music written and performed by Mistress T'Sivia Tamara v'Amberview, Pennsic Independent Features Reporter.
The staff of the Pennsic Independent is immensely proud that our publisher has finally gotten the recognition that she has so long deserved. Hoobah for Mistress Heirusalem.
