Witherford Watson Mann has won the RIBA Stirling Prize with its revamp of the 12th-century Astley Castle in Warwickshire
The £1.35 million project was chosen for the most prestigious accolade in UK architecture ahead of five other contenders, including Niall McLaughlin's Bishop Edward King Chapel - the bookies' favourite at 5/4 - and Park Hill Phase 1 by Hawkins\Brown with Studio Egret West, which was voted the people's champion by AJ readers.
Backed by the Landmark Trust, the conversion of the ruin into a holiday home was hailed as 'a prototype for a new attitude to restoration and reuse' when it was shortlisted for the prize back in July (see AJ 18.07.13). The 285m² building had also been in contention for this year's Manser Medal.
However bookmaker William Hill had not considered a victory for Astley Castle likely, giving it odds of just 6/1 when the book closed.
It was the first time the practice, which was named among the AJ's 40 Under 40 list of emerging stars in 2007, had been shortlisted for the award.

Astley Castle by Witherford Watson Mann
'It feels like the English have finally found an architect able to work with history without having to panic about modernity,' writes Edwin Heathcote
For decades there were things going on in Portuguese pousadas and Spanish monasteries, extraordinary hybrids of restoration, rebuilding and re-imagination. Buildings left derelict, often for centuries, were turned into ascetic but seductively elegant hotels and monastic hostels, with that seemingly effortless thoughtfulness and skill in handling the past that seems to come from being from around the Mediterranean. At the same time in Britain, over, say, the last three decades, whenever architects built beside an ancient structure they were obsessed with the 'juxtaposition' of old and new.
I don't think the building will win the prize
Steel and glass, High-Tech over-detailing, tensile roofs and fussy timber details were piled on top of each other as if in justification of some SPAB-ey credo of never, ever allowing any possibility of confusion between what might have already been there, and what was from our own age.
Finally, a British practice with enough of that continental sophistication has been given a go and has come up with a building that I don't think will win the prize (posh guest house - too fey) - but I would be delighted if it did.
Witherford Watson Mann's intervention into Astley Castle, an imposing ruin of a once-fortified stately home in the Midlands, is dense, intelligent, careful and magical. There are few acrobatics and instead the architect has carved out a series of striking, heavily grained spaces contained within gnarled surfaces which are left imbued with a rich sense of history and decay. In parts it is as much geology as it is archaeology or architecture, an exploration of the layers of material culture and texture.
The outdoor dining room - its roof missing, the huge fireplace in one wall and the rotting shutters hanging precariously off the now purely scenic windows - is as evocative and theatrical a space as you could find in contemporary British architecture, a surreal moment recalling the roof terrace of Corb's apartment for Charles de Beistegui. Windows set in behind the weathered stone tracery of the originals also give a curiously surreal effect, a double framing or a kind of surveying of the landscape, as if using the building as a tool for looking. Big new windows are staggered so the single straight line doesn't jar with the irregularity of the original fabric.
The contemporary interventions are understated but very, very fine. The timber stair looks like it's been stripped down, as if the lath and plaster had been removed, its skeleton puncturing the floor above while a delicate handrail snakes up to guide the hand.
Occasionally you see a building where the architect has had to make so many individual decisions about what to leave, what to restore, what to cover, what to start again, that it becomes almost dizzying to contemplate. Witherford Watson Mann's experience of bonding the old library to the Whitechapel Gallery, a building seeped in history and meaning, with Belgian architect Robbrecht and Daem, has obviously served them well. They have made the right decision at every step and this is a rare building I can't find real fault with. It feels like a moment when the English have finally found an architect able to work with history without having to panic about modernity, without having to ensure that every gesture is fanatically demarcated. At points, the work is quite ordinary, in the best possible way, crafted but unselfconscious and robust.
It is interesting to see Astley Castle up against Park Hill (arguably the two most interesting schemes here) because both are, in their way, adaptations of buildings on a medieval scale - fortified housing. Astley Castle's chances may be impeded by its rather bourgeois Landmark Trust status, while Park Hill is impeded by the whiff of gentrification. I don't think either will win but I'm very glad to see them both acknowledged. We already have plenty of buildings, they just need to be reused.

Judges' shortlisting citation
The brief from the Landmark Trust was to provide a contemporary house within the footprint of the ruins of a 12th-century fortified manor destroyed by a fire in 1978. The decision to put the bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground floor and the communal spaces above makes the experience of the house very special.
The sculptural central staircase is the pivot around which the bedrooms are organised, and leads to an open-plan living space with views over the ancient ruins and the moated gardens. Perhaps the most impressive spaces are outdoors: the ruins of the Tudor and Jacobean wings.
The experience and reading of the remains is enhanced by the new interventions. The architects have developed a set of carefully considered rules and methodology for new construction against the existing structure.
Witherford Watson Mann's revamp of 12th century castle wins 2013 Stirling Prize
Readers' comments (2)
Quite a surprising result – but perhaps no surprise that once again the favourite didn't win the prize. Every year the Stirling shortlist offers a fascinating mix of buildings and begs the question about how to decide a winner from such a diverse series of projects. Having chaired RIBA regional awards juries twice myself, I can imagine how difficult it can be.
I had backed King Edward Chapel – a materially rich project with incredible attention to detail. The result is reverential and inspiring, and was no doubt a real pleasure to design and build. As for the winner, Astley Castle is a beautiful and creative exercise to bring a ruin back to life, with a design that is timeless and full of feeling. Its simple yet effective detailing, and calm character make it a pure joy to see.
I am never sure whether the Stirling Prize is an accurate snapshot of the state of British architecture. A showcase of some of the best perhaps, but no more. However it certainly is a fantastic way of raising awareness among a wide audience of the talent that's out there, and all credit to the RIBA for linking up with the BBC as well as AJ this year.
worthy winner! Really lovely projects! I hope one day i'll be able to afford to stay there for a week or two!

Economic Views
Indian and Brazilian growth figures likely to prompt easing
Surprising first quarter growth figures for both India and Brazil were released today. In both economies, we think the numbers could trigger monetary policy easing.
India growth slows, Brazil's economy contracts less
India's economy grew 6.1% in the first quarter of 2015, some way below City expectations of 7% growth, year-on-year, and much lower than the previous quarter's 7.5% growth.
Brazil, which released its figures at the same time, managed to beat expectations by contracting less than expected, at 1.6%.
We expect further growth for India and further contraction for Brazil as the year progresses.
In both economies, we think the numbers will present a case for a more dovish central bank stance, though India – given its lower inflation – has scope to move sooner. We expect a further 25bps cut at the next meeting.
For Brazil, the central bank is still battling to anchor inflation expectations, and seems unlikely to turn dovish just yet.
But we still believe that growth will deteriorate further in the second and third quarters, and will be of sufficient concern to prompt easing at the end of the year.
India's new growth metric can't hide weaker growth
India recently switched to using gross value added (GVA) as its preferred growth metric rather than gross domestic product (GDP).
The difference between the two is that GDP includes the net taxation position (taxes less subsidies), which might explain how Indian GDP was able to beat expectations and grow 7.5%, year-on-year (versus the 6.1% growth recorded by GVA, which does not include net tax).
Oil price falls since December have enabled significant subsidy reductions. Beyond that is difficult to compare the two numbers as different breakdowns are provided for each.
Overall though, growth looks to have been supported by stronger consumption and investment, with the manufacturing sector in particular performing well, against a backdrop of falling government spending.
However, growth in most other sectors was weaker than the previous quarter, perhaps accounting for the miss versus expectations, though there is some question over the accuracy of the new series.
For example, looking at the (very limited) historical data, there appears to be a discrepancy between growth as recorded by GVA and the performance of higher frequency data.
Brazil surprises but further contraction anticipated
A breakdown of the Brazilian numbers reveals strong net export performance as all other sectors of the economy contracted, with consumption growth falling the most; from 1.1% growth in the final quarter of 2014 to a contraction of 1.5%, year-on-year.
Given the recent unemployment, wage growth and consumer confidence numbers, this is unsurprising.
We still expect further contraction from here, with the consumer unlikely to recover given the ongoing increase in unemployment, and the further blows to investment as the Petrobras investigation proceeds.

Two weeks away. Two posts in one day. I have a reward waiting for me when I finish my swap obligations. The Farmer's Wife Sampler QAL which I believe will be the largest QAL in web history to date. There is the Flickr Group and tying in with that the Yahoo Group which will help line you out on about any issue. I thought I would be able to start on time but not to be. My book arrived and I began to read it. I couldn't stand it. It should be a staple in most quilt libraries. I believe it will be by the time this quilt along ends. That is the thing. I do not think it will end. As more and more quilters enter our internet community and begin quilting they are going to eventually face this quilt along. Reading online at the difficulty with templates, blocks and, oh my gosh, what fabric? I have read everything from our modern sisters to the civil war repro women. They have an entire group of their own!
The book is fascinating with letters from women accompanying the pictures and instructions for two blocks of the 111 blocks that make up the book. I have a feeling I will be transformed to the farm when I get going. I cannot wait. Oh yes, it has a CD in the back with the templates for the blocks. So, this book gets an A++ and I know I did not need to review it as you are probably already working on yours.
The second book gets an A++ as well if you like to make bags and Amy Butler bags at that. Style Stitches gives you a total of 26 bags by giving options of sizes which can be a problem with her patterns. There is not one bag in this book that I would not want to own. Some are very time and material intensive, but most are no worse than The Birdie Sling which I think a lot of us have made.

I'd like to create the following situation:
- A separate partition for my user's home directory,
- A second separate partition for ~/Documents, and
- A third separate partition for ~/Videos and ~/Music.
Achieving the first point doesn't seem to be hard, and that's already covered in questions like: How can I move the home directory to a separate partition?
Achieving the other two goals should follow the same pattern, but I'm not sure if I have to take care of the order of mounting somewhere/-how (i.e., first /home/user, then /home/user/whatever) . AFAIK the order in /etc/fstab doesn't matter at all.
While it might be easier to set up, I don't want to make the XDG directories symbolic links, unless other solutions were overly complex.

[tweetmeme source="brownkw" only_single=false]
I was out and about on a Saturday in the southern part of Charlotte, NC. I realized that I was within striking distance of a BBQ joint that I had not tried yet. So at the recommendation of my friend Steve Gibbs, I decided to stop in at 521 BBQ & Grill in Indian Land, SC.
This BBQ joint is located approximately 10-15 minutes from the Ballantyne area of Charlotte, just over the NC/SC state line. The decor of the place is very down-home, with picnic tables nestled among standard restaurant tables.
The menu at 521 BBQ & Grill offers pulled pork and ribs as well as items off of the grill (pork chops, chicken, etc.). After perusing the menu for a few minutes (and soliciting the advice of the super-cute waitress who took care of me), I decided on the BBQ tray which consists of pulled pork (which ended up looking closer to chopped than pulled), fries, and hush puppies.
The first bite of pork was just a little bit on the dry side. After that, it was absolutely delicious! The pork had a beautiful color, with bits and pieces of the outside bark mixed in. It had a nice touch of smoke in the taste, thus allowing the pork to be the star.
I'll visit the sides shortly, but I want to talk about the sauces. There are 2 different sauces available — a thick sweet Kansas City style sauce and a vinegar based sauce.
The KC style sauce was very thick, very sweet, with a nice touch of smoke. It went well with the pork. The vinegar-based sauce, on the other hand… it was fabulous! The color of the sauce is a darker color than most traditional vinegar-based sauces (very similar to the homemade vinegar-based sauce that I make). This sauce really gave the pork that extra zing. Excellent sauce!
Now, back to the sides… the fries were fried up perfectly. They were very crispy and flavorful on the outside. The hush puppies were tasty as well, although I would've liked to have seen just a touch more flavor in them. Nevertheless, I ate them anyway.
So is it worth the trip from Charlotte to Indian Land to check out this joint? Without a doubt! I'm certainly glad I checked it out.
521 BBQ & Grill is located at 7580 Charlotte Highway, Suite 100, Indian Land, SC 29707. Their website is http://www.521bbqandgrill.com, and they can also be found on Facebook.

Coupon for Nutrisystem – How Genie Francies Lost 30 Pounds
Who is the next celebrity to lose weight on Nutrisystem? It's Genie Francis! Genie's amazing body transformation (30 pounds is not bad at all!) has created a lot of buzz in the media lately. With a Nutrisystem coupon you could be next!
Coupon for Nutrisystem
It's the beginning of the year, and like most weight loss programs, Nutrisystem is giving away its best deals. Now, with Nutrisystem coupon code SAVE30 you save $30 on your 4-week meals purchase. In addition you get FREE SHAKES. Nutrisystem challenges us all to try their program and "discover weight loss that works", as their new motto this year is.
Genie Francis Drops 30 Pounds on Nutrisystem
The Genie Francis transformation story has attracted loads of attention on social media, as a beacon of hope to all those battling the scales. As a popular cast member of the daytime TV show "General Hospital", Genie Francis revealed that she has successfully managed to put 30 pounds off her figure to achieve an amazing transformation. Even though she had declared her famous final attempt at weight loss in 2007, she has credited this success to her 7 month adherence to Nutrisystem, a weight-loss program of a different kind.
Francis openly admitted her initial doubt about the regiment, with her skepticism due to the amount of eating that Nutrisystem allows one to do. Having struggled with her weight loss woes since being a teenager, the weight-loss programs that ruled her life meant that she had to do some heavy dieting, even "starving" herself at times.
The Nutrisystem program allows eating foods that are anything but low-carb, compared to other popular diets. However, when coupled with a two day cardio workout _either some power walk, or some time on the elliptical machine_ and a 3 day weightlifting program or calisthenics (body weight exercise) routine with her trainer per week, it has struck all the right notes. "It evens out my moods, it makes me feel more peaceful, more positive" she declared.
In her first week of the program, she attests to have lost 5 pounds, which is scarcely believable if you consider the quantity and quality of her single day's meals. She typically has pancakes and eggs at breakfast, a mid-morning bite of yogurt and pizza plus salad for lunch. To top this all of, a healthy dinner of a serving chicken breast with broccoli with a half a cup of brown rice and an icecream sandwich for dessert. "The diet is gentle." she claimed. Moreover, "The good thing about Nutrisystem is that I'm more at peace with food." she added.
Francis says key to this kind of dieting in the Nutrisystem program is the focus on eating the right amount of meals all through the day. In addition to this, it helps to avoid the kings of foods that make you want to eat more, known as trigger foods. Watching out for these trigger foods and avoiding then helps you moderate what you eat and eliminate the desire to go for that extra plate of food.
The program, according to Genie, has been a way to lose weight and keep it off, helping her counter her eating habits as she said "I have always been an emotional eater". At 52 years of age it, according to her, seemed like a far stretch for her to achieve her long desired goal. Especially after dropping 30 pounds on a Medifast weight-loss program, and later gaining it as she was affected by the loss of her sister, Shelley Francis.
This has marked a complete transformation of both Francis figure and her self-esteem with this journey has culminating in her resolve not to return to the day-time soap opera. In Genie Francis' own words, "It's amazing what losing weight can do for you…"

Author of note: Drama therapist earns award for book about barrier-free theater
Submitted by Communications and Marketing
The third time's a charm for Sally Bailey.
The Kansas State University professor of theater and director of the drama therapy program has received the 2011 Distinguished Book Award from the American Alliance for Theatre in Education for her third book, "Barrier-Free Theatre," which was published by Idyll Arbor in 2010.
In the book, Bailey, who is a registered drama therapist and board-certified drama therapy trainer, shares her ideas, tips and anecdotes about making theater accessible to children and adults with disabilities.
"If you do theater but know nothing about disabilities, you'll learn about them," Bailey said. "If you know about disabilities, but not about how to facilitate drama, you'll learn about that. I wanted to give all the building blocks so that people can take what they need. If you have no building blocks, with this book you have a whole kit."
"Barrier-Free Theatre" was nearly a decade in the making. She said publishers could not understand who the book's audience would be, but she knew that since 20 percent of the population has some kind of disability, the audience for it was definitely there.
Bailey was first exposed to drama therapy and learned about accommodating people with disabilities when she worked for various arts programs in Washington, D.C. After becoming a registered drama therapist, she used her skills while working with recovering drug addicts at the rehabilitation facility Second Genesis, and with people with disabilities at Imagination Stage, a nonprofit arts center.
She moved to Manhattan to head up K-State's drama therapy master's program in 1999. She also is the director of the Manhattan Parks and Recreation's Barrier-Free Theater.
"Drama can really level the playing field and allow many different people to work together," Bailey said. "In the theater all people can express themselves and be creative as equals. Drama can be a part of more people's lives if directors and teachers know how to include everyone."
Bailey was a member of the National Association for Drama Therapy board of directors from 1995-2001. She served as president of the National Association for Drama Therapy from 2001-2003, receiving the association's Service Award in 2005 and its Gertrud Schattner Award in 2006. She is the founder and office manager of the Drama Therapy Fund, which was established in 2003. She also has received the 2011 Promoting an Accessible
Campus Award from EmPower Cats and K-State disability services, Inspire by Example Award from Community 1st Bank, as well as K-State's William L. Stamey Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award and Adviser of the Year award.
Bailey has produced children's theater and been a playwright. Her adaptation of "A Christmas Carol" will be done for the second year at the Manhattan Arts Center this year.
She earned a bachelor's in fine arts from the University of Texas at Austin, a master's in fine arts from Trinity University and a master's in social work from the University of Maryland at Baltimore. She also has a certificate in Gestalt therapy from the Gestalt Therapy Training Center, Washington, D.C.

Another great Pinterest find. Nanci actually found these while searching and deciding what type of cookie to make for this year's Cookie Swap with our friends. She decided on another cookie so I decided to make these right away. I have always loved candied cherries in cookies. I think they are terrible on their own right out of the container but baked in a cookie, YUM! This is a great recipe which is very similar to a shortbread cookie but not as crumbly. They are slightly sweet and buttery and the added texture from the candied cherries and pecans is perfect! The original recipe can be found at The Merry Gourmet
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg, room temperature
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/2 cups candied cherries
1 cup chopped pecans
Using a handheld mixer, cream together butter, powdered sugar, and egg. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and cream of tartar until well incorporated. Add in flour mixture to butter mixture slowly, blending after each addition until dough forms. Stir in remaining ingredients (candied cherries and pineapples, pecans).Turn dough out onto wax paper and divide into two equal parts. Roll each into a log, 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap in wax paper and freeze until firm, approximately 1 hour. Place oven rack in middle position and preheat to 375 degrees F. Slice each log into 1/4 inch thickness. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until light brown. Cool on a wire rack until room temperature.

Q: When should I stop treating algae?
Rich – Bartlesville, OK
A: It's not so much a matter of when as it is what temperature your water is.
In theory, with the right equipment, algae can be managed all year-long. But if you want to treat it with chemicals, the water temperature in your lake needs to above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The active ingredients in Pond Logic® Algae Defense® that are used to control suspended, floating and bottom-of-the-pond algae require warmer water temperatures to work properly.
So when your water temperature is below 60°F, you're out of luck for using chemical treatments.
Before cooler temperatures chill your water this fall, give any planktonic algae, filamentous algae or chara growing in your pond a dose of Algae Defense®. The best time to apply the fast-acting formula is in the morning on a calm, sunny day. Simply mix with water and spray directly onto algae with a pressurized sprayer. Once the green stuff is dead, don't forget to remove it with the Pond & Beach Rake to prevent an accumulation of dead algae and muck.
So what do you do if you're hosting a Halloween party but the water temperature in your pond—filled with spooky, pea green masses—is lower than 60°F? Try clearing things up with The Pond Guy® PondSkim™. Measuring 5 feet wide and constructed with a super tough screen, the skimmer floats on the water surface and collects floating algae as you pull it along with your boat. Problem solved!

Arsenio Rodriguez Honored By Hostos
Famous for his use of three trumpets and introduction of the piano and conga drummer to the conjunto, this fusion improved the sonority of the Cuban septetos.
[Entertainment: Music Legend Honored]
One of the more important legends to grace the Latin scene was the legendary composer, band leader and musician Arsenio Rodriguez.
Rodriquez composed over 200 songs and claimed to be the true creator of the mambo, although this has been disputed by some. Blinded as a child, Arsenio was born in Cuba where he learned to play the tres--Cuban guitar.
He was instrumental in reorganizing the conjunto and in developing the son montuno and other Afro-Cuban rhythms. Famous for his use of three trumpets and introduction of the piano and conga drummer to the conjunto, this fusion improved the sonority of the Cuban septetos.
Rodríguez also created various rhythms and harmonic tones that enriched the guaracha, son, and bolero-mamba and bolero-son. He performed at the Palladium Ballroom in New York throughout the 1960s before eventually moving to California where he died in December 1970.

Morenci High School basketball standout Zack Craig is headed to West Virginia.
The senior signed a letter of intent last month to play at West Liberty State College, an NCAA Div. II school located on the state's northern panhandle.
Craig, a four-year varsity starter, is the leading scorer in Morenci High School history with 1,606 points and was named unanimously to the Class C all-state team by the Associated Press. He finished his final season with an average of 21.9 points per game, a 75.5 free throw percentage, and a 50 percent accuracy rate from three-point range—a statistic high school coach Jim Bauer called "amazing."
Craig attributed his choice to play for West Liberty on the emphasis the team places on scoring. Last season, the Hilltoppers led their division with an average of 104 points per game.

Selena M. Green, December 19th , 2018.
Once you've upgraded the lighting quality of your bathroom, paint is the next quick and easy upgrade to the bathroom. Pick light colors for large surfaces like the walls and save the darker, richer tones for accents. Check how your color choices look in your upgraded lighting before you paint, since color temperature can change a color's shade. Paint your walls with the perfect shade you selected. It's no longer necessary to choose gloss in a bathroom to combat moisture, ask the paint shop to add an additive to matte paint to keep it from mildewing. Don't just paint the walls — purchase an eggshell or semi-gloss paint and paint the cabinets, too

Depending on the part of town you're looking for an apartment in, and how gorgeous the view is, there can be a considerable range in rental rates in town. Take a look at all the available options so you can choose the best one for the money. American settlers first arrived in Palm Harbor over a hundred and fifty years ago. It was valued for its mild weather, fertile land, and warm, freshwater springs. Today, you can visit the historic downtown area and visit some of the city's first buildings. It's all within reach of your new apartment. The older buildings around town help give Palm Harbor some of its charm, setting it apart from other similarly-sized, sprawling suburban towns. Renters will also enjoy the unusually hilly topography of this city which gives renters from all over great views of the town and the Gulf of Mexico.
You can spend a day at sea whenever the mood strikes you. As its name suggests, there is a protected ocean inlet making it a great place to charter a boat from. In the morning, you can head into the deep waters of the gulf to fish for sea bass, grouper, snapper and other large ocean fish. Occasionally, monsters as big as cars are pulled out of the gulf here, though most are the perfect size to filet and serve for dinner. In the afternoon, you can hop on a sailboat to chase down the setting sun as it sinks into the gulf. Beach goers may not have any sandy spots right in town, but there are beaches just a little north or south. The waters of the gulf are warm and usually calm, making it perfect for swimming and snorkeling in search of fish. When the surf is up, the long sandy beaches are the perfect place to learn to surf or kite board.
Most people who move here do so because of the natural beauty and perfect year-round weather. Despite the natural beauty all around, or perhaps because of it, many of the people who live here can't seem to stop creating more beauty of their own. This city is home to a number of art shows and fairs, including the Harbor Art Fine Arts and Crafts Festival in December. Local artists can submit their paintings, sculptures, and decorations to the festival in hopes of winning one of the grand prizes. Appreciators of the arts can pick up a few new pieces to liven up their apartments and attract the attention, and possibly the envy, of their neighbors.
With so many days of beautiful weather, it's hard not to spend all of them outdoors. Fortunately for you, there are a variety of sports teams to get involved with right in town. Baseball, tennis, soccer, golf and volleyball are all popular sports in the area and joining up with a group is a great way to meet to friends. You can also head into nearby Tampa Bay to catch a live Buccaneers, Rays or Lightning game.

Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2012 released – and new Windows Intune is on the way
Ready, set…deploy.
Microsoft today released the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2012, its product for automating deployment of Windows 7, Office 2010, Office 365 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
According to the company, the latest version of the toolkit has several updates, including self-service, user-customizable installation through System Center Configuration Manager 2012, one of the key products in the revamped management suite that is the focus of this week's Microsoft Management Summit (MMS) in Las Vegas. Administrators can also expect integration with the Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolkit, and support for testing the Windows 8 Consumer Preview. MDT 2012 is available for both x86 and x64 platforms; download it here, along with supporting documentation.
The release was one of several announcements Microsoft has made over the past couple of days.
On Monday, the company made note of an upcoming new version of Windows Intune, its cloud-based desktop management service, which will reportedly support mobile devices including Windows Phone 7, iPads, iPhones, and Android-based phones and mobile devices (via Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync). This matches with the recent updates to System Center Configuration Manager 2012, and like that product, Windows Intune 3.0 (not the official name just yet) will also feature a self-service portal for end users. Download the "Pre-Release Getting Started Guide" here, and stay tuned for more information on the official release during MMS.
Also on Monday, Microsoft detailed its plans for Windows 8 SKUs. In contrast to previous releases, there will be only three versions of the upcoming operating system: Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, and Windows RT (previously Windows on ARM). Though the stripped-down structure is likely intended to reduce consumer confusion, some think the Windows RT name, which may refer to the Windows runtime library that supports the new Metro-style design, thwarts those efforts.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments, or via Twitter (@WindowsTT).

The Akron Zips will be without the services of starting point guard Alex Abreu after the All-MAC junior found himself in jail today facing multiple felony charges.
The Akron Beacon-Journal reports Abreu was arrested today after accepting a "large" shipment of marijuana from undercover officers who detected the package using drug dogs.
A search of the Akron Municipal Court records shows Abreu was charged today with two third-degree felonies of drug trafficking and drug abuse. In Ohio, third-degree marijuana trafficking is charged when the amount in question is between one and five kilograms. The third-degree felony charge of aggravated possession includes "a presumption for a prison term."
Abreu's been suspended indefinitely. Akron is 24-5 and at one point held the nation's longest active winning streak at 18 games; the MAC regular season champs are most pundits' pick to represent the conference in the NCAA tournament.

- "An extremely windy street. Great for tourists. Otherwise, completely pointless."
- — GTA San Andreas Website.
Windy Windy Windy Windy Street is a street in San Fierro, San Andreas, located at the eastern edge of the Calton Heights district. This landmark is modeled after San Francisco's famous Lombard Street, which also bears the name "crookedest street" due to the winding nature with which the street progresses through the one block between Hyde and Leavenworth Streets.
Like its real-life counterpart, Windy Windy Windy Windy Street is very difficult to navigate with an automobile. The tree-lined street is flanked by concrete step-sidewalks for easier passage, but is generally a poor choice for traveling through the city, and exists as more of a spectacle than a useful transportation medium.
Unlike the real life Lombard Street, the Windy Windy Windy Windy Street does not have walls on the side of the street, making it possible to just drive straight forward instead of following the road.
Gameplay items
- Kart - Atop the staircase northwest the street (available only after Cut Throat Business)
- One Unique Stunt Jump - Done by going to the staircase atop/northwest of the street
- One Snapshot - Found above the middle part of the street
Weapons and Pickups
- Camera - On the pedestrian walkway immediately east of the safehouse (two flights of stairs down the safehouse)
- Flowers - Right beside the northern staircase, on a patch of grass
- On rare occasions, the Triads appear on this street.

The Swedish game makers behind Bionic Commando Rearmed are back with a new studio and new unannounced game.
Grin, the studio behind Bionic Commando and Bionic Commando Rearmed, closed shop forever in 2009, but the team that worked on Bionic Commando Rearmed at the studio came back together to form Might&Delight.
"Some argue that there is one of Grins many later releases that stands out; Bionic Commando Rearmed," the team wrote in a press release today. "That´s no accident. That was us."
"We are proud to announce that we will continue to explore the wonderful collaboration that led to Bionic Commando Rearmed. Our brand new studio Might&Delight, located in Stockholm Sweden, opens its doors for business today!"
Might&Delight say they are working on a new unannounced game, one that it sounds like will be a retro.
"It´s no secret we love retro, they write. "Our ambition is to continue doing what we started with Rearmed. Small, fresh games with strong old school flavor."

IEPs: Once More with Feeling
Sigh. Does anyone ever feel fully prepared for an IEP meeting? For those of you fortunate enough to not know that IEP stands for Individualized Education Plan, I'm a bit envious. Although, if you're the parent of an ASD student who does not face an IEP meeting every year, the circumstances around that may not be ones to envy. Maybe your child isn't receiving services from your LEA, and you pay out of pocket for education and support services. Or maybe you're homeschooling, God bless you. In light of those circumstances, I should not complain about an annual IEP meeting. But oh how I do dread them! I always go in feeling like the underdog. I feel as if there's something more I should be asking for, but I'm never quite sure what it is.
This year I resolved to go in prepared. I pulled out last year's copy of Cameron's IEP and compared it line by line to this year's draft—which I had received a week before the meeting. It was the first time I had thoroughly read a draft copy before the meeting. Full disclosure: In the past, I've paid about as much attention to IEP proceedings as I did to mortgage closings. (Sign here please.) But now that Cameron and I are in transition, and I can count future IEP meetings on less than one hand, I felt it was high time I became an active participant.
It was so much easier than I had anticipated! I walked away feeling that some definite improvements were made to the plan, and all the participants at the meeting were in agreement with my suggestions. My approach was simple. I kept Cameron's biggest challenges in mind, and looked at how the IEP was (or wasn't) addressing these challenges. One thing that I'm trying to get Cameron to realize is that it's okay to speak up when he doesn't understand something. His default coping skill is to pretend he understands, and avoid further discussion. I asked for a goal to address this, and got it—in the form of a strategy requiring teachers to regularly check in with Cameron and ask him to explain instructions he's been given. I also feel it is very important for Cameron to understand his disabilities and be able to communicate them if the situation calls for it. My thought is that as Cameron spends more time in the community on his own, there may be instances when he will need to disclose his disabilities in order to get adequate assistance. At the airport, for instance, he may need to ask the gate agent for early boarding, otherwise ADD might contribute to missing the boarding announcement. The IEP now has a goal pertaining to his ability to ask for assistance and another goal to develop an understanding of his disabilities. Another issue addressed during the IEP meeting was my desire to give Cameron exposure to a more integrated environment. He's been in a separate special needs setting for nine years, and I'd like for him to have opportunities to socialize with neuro-typical peers. I asked for assistance in finding a peer mentor at our neighborhood high school. While this couldn't feasibly be documented in the IEP, the representative from the public school system was more than happy to pursue this for me.
Who knew that an hour of preparation before the IEP meeting would lead to such an overwhelming sense of relief and empowerment? Well, I'm sure a lot of people are thinking, "Duh! We do this every year!" But it's such a great feeling to get over myself and my hangups and get to some concrete improvements to Cameron's strategies. Planned improvements anyway. Stay tuned for progress reports.

Carroll doesn't see Seattle needing major adds
Recommended Video:
SEATTLE (AP) -- Fresh off spending more than two hours winding his way in front of a parade crowd that surpassed the population of Seattle, Pete Carroll was ready for the postseason to finally arrive.
Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the offseason.
"I don't see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. "These players know that they got better all the way to the last game of the season. That's always out there for us and that will continue to be our focus."
Carroll and his team were feted in grand fashion on Wednesday, enjoying the first championship parade for a team in one of the four major sports in the city of Seattle since 1979. Seattle officials estimated the crowd along the parade route at 700,000 while owner Paul Allen, addressing a celebration at CenturyLink Field, said it was 1 million fans that crammed downtown streets.
Carroll was at the front of the parade and later was leading the charge that this team he helped put together is not expecting to be a one-year wonder.
"They have come together to do something very special and it's not just one year," Carroll told the crowd. "We're just getting warmed up if you know what I'm talking about."
That means Carroll doesn't believe the Seahawks need to make major offseason additions as they did a year ago when Seattle signed defensive linemen Cliff Avril, Tony McDaniel and Michael Bennett in free agency and traded for Percy Harvin. Seattle will continue to mine the draft for gems like those they have found in the past and look at free agency but Carroll said they are very comfortable with the roster they have moving forward.
"The priority is for us to get back to work and work really hard again. That's going to be more important. It's not going to be something from the outside of us," he said.
"We have what we need, we just need to get back to work when the time comes with the right attitude and the right focus. That's all I'm concerned about."
It appears Seattle's free agency focus will be on trying to retain players on its current roster that could be coveted by others. Wide receiver Golden Tate and Bennett will both be free agents in the offseason and both expressed their desire to return to Seattle.
Tate is at the end of his rookie contract, while Bennett gambled on a one-year deal with Seattle last offseason and now could be in line for a significant pay increase after a standout season with a team-high 8 1/2 sacks in the regular season and another 1 1/2 in the playoffs. Bennett became the interior pass rusher that Carroll has sought since his arrival in Seattle and part of a defensive line rotation that caused havoc.
"I want to be back here 100 percent," Bennett said. "I love the team. I love my teammates. Pete does a great job letting us play. I want to be a part of that. I know we can go back and win a Super Bowl again with all of these guys."
Tate was Seattle's leading receiver this season, his fourth with the team after being a second-round pick in 2010 as part of Carroll's first draft class. Tate said he would consider accepting a "little" less money for a chance to stay with the Seahawks.
"In my eyes I would rather stay and play in a great organization, in a great city, around great people, around great teammates for a little less than go to a crappy city and win a ball game every now and then and be miserable for six months and have a fan base that doesn't care about the sport," Tate said. "You've got to give a little or take a little, whatever. We'll see how it works out. Hopefully, it does work out. I think I've done everything in my power to earn the trust and respect of this organization."
Carroll said Seattle will go into the offseason very healthy, the only lingering concern being a possible surgery on the toe of left tackle Russell Okung, who was injured in Week 2 against San Francisco and aggravated it later in the season. Harvin came out of the Super Bowl fine with his hip and now gets an entire offseason to get healthy.

Spain has now declared that it will join the not anymore so exclusive club of eurozone beggars:
Spain indicated during a conference call of the euro zone's 17 financeministers that it wanted aid for its banks but would not specify the amount until two independent consultants deliver their assessment of the capital needs some time before June 21.
Roger C. Altman, chairman of Evercore Partners and former deputy Treasury secretary under President Clinton from 1993 to 1994 describes the dire situation for the entire eurozone:
Europe is on the verge of financial chaos. Global capital markets, now the most powerful force on earth, are rapidly losing confidence in the financial coherence of the 17-nation euro zone. A market implosion there, like that triggered by Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008, may not be far off. Not only would that dismantle the euro zone, but it could also usher in another global economic slump: in effect, a second leg of the Great Recession, analogous to that of 1937.
This risk is evident in the structure of global interest rates. At one level, U.S. Treasury bonds are now carrying the lowest yields in history, as gigantic sums of money seek a safe haven from this crisis. At another level, the weaker euro-zone countries, such as Spain and Italy, are paying stratospheric rates because investors are increasingly questioning their solvency. And there's Greece, whose even higher rates signify its bankrupt condition. In addition, larger businesses and wealthy individuals are moving all of their cash and securities out of banks in these weakening countries. This undermines their financial systems.PS
It should again be stressed that the euro crisis is entirely self afflicted. The politicians - among them Germany´s Helmut Kohl - who created the common currency, against the advice of most economists are the ones to be blamed.

Israel says all troops will leave Gaza; cease-fire begins
GAZA CITY — The Israeli military says all its ground troops will have pulled out of the Gaza Strip by the start of the cease-fire agreed to by both sides in the war.
The announcement came after Israel and Hamas accepted a three-day cease-fire proposal from Egypt to begin Tuesday morning, even after several earlier attempts at a truce collapsed within a few hours.
Lt. Col. Peter Lerner says the troop withdrawal will be completed by 8 a.m. (1 a.m. ET) Tuesday, the start time for the 72-hour cease-fire. He said the withdrawal is possible because Israel has completed the destruction of 32 cross-border tunnels meant to allow Islamic militants to carry out attacks against Israel.
Should the cease-fire hold, Egypt was preparing to host indirect talks to work out a long-term agreement over the next three days.
When the cease-fire starts, "Israel will cease all military operations against terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip," Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said late Monday. "Israel will honor the cease-fire and will be watching to see if Hamas does too."
A delegation of Palestinian officials from various factions, including Hamas, has been negotiating with Egypt in recent days. Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said the group accepted the cease-fire plan.
"It's clear now that the interest of all parties is to have a cease-fire," said Bassam Salhi, a member of the Palestinian delegation. "It's going to be tough negotiations because Israel has demands, too."
Several previous cease-fires have failed, including a similar plan last Friday for a 72-hour truce that broke down in heavy fighting.
"We will be putting first on our agenda preventing Hamas from rearming," Regev said about continued negotiations. "Ultimately the Palestinians have a written commitment that Gaza should be demilitarized, and it's time the international community held them to that commitment."
The fighting began July 8 when Israel launched an air campaign in response to heavy rocket fire out of Gaza, which is controlled by the Hamas militant group. Since the weekend, Israel has been winding down its ground operation that started July 17 to destroy tunnels it says are used by Hamas to carry out attacks. The bulk of Israel's troops in Gaza have pulled out as its mission to destroy Hamas tunnels nears completion, the military said. However, it has kept up its heavy aerial bombardments of Gaza.
The new temporary truce came after Israel held what it called a seven-hour "humanitarian" cease-fire on Monday. After that, though, airstrikes resumed on Gaza and an attack on a bus in Jerusalem killed one person.
In the Jerusalem assault, a man rammed the front end of a construction excavator into an Israeli bus, which police described as a "terrorist attack," indicating Palestinian involvement.
The attack occurred on a main thoroughfare near the unofficial line between Jewish west Jerusalem and east Jerusalem, the section of the city captured by Israel in 1967 and which is home to most of the city's Arab population. Israeli news media said the attacker came from an Arab area of the city.
Israel's Channel 10 TV showed cellphone video of what it said was the attack, with the yellow excavator slamming its large shovel into the bus. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said a police officer in the area opened fire and killed the attacker. A pedestrian also was killed, Jerusalem district police chief Yossi Piranti said.
In the past, Palestinian attackers have gone on deadly rampages with bulldozers in Jerusalem traffic. In 2008 a similar attack carried out by an east Jerusalem Arab left three Israelis dead and 30 wounded.
"Because of the quick reaction of the police an even graver incident was avoided," Piranti said.
Shortly after the excavator attack, Israeli media reported that a gunman on a motorcycle shot and seriously wounded an Israeli soldier. Police searched for the shooter in east Jerusalem.
"We believe there is a great likelihood this was a terrorist attack," Piranti said.
The brief lull was called to allow aid through to Gaza, but Israel's military said it did not apply to areas where its troops were still operating. The military had said it would respond to any attacks.
Early Monday, an Israeli airstrike killed Daniel Mansour, a commander of the Islamic Jihad group, a close ally of Gaza's militant Hamas rulers.
After Israel announced it was resuming attacks on targets in Gaza, Palestinian health official Ashraf al-Kidra said an airstrike near a desalination plant in Rafah killed three people, including a 12-year-old boy and his 5-year-old sister.
Earlier, an Israeli strike hit a house at the Shati refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, killing three people and wounding at least 30, al-Kidra said. The Israeli military said it targeted an "operative threat" and rocket fire in the strike.
Gaza police said Israeli air, tank and navy gunboat fire targeted houses, agricultural plots and open areas. Israeli jet fighters destroyed three mosques, nine houses and a warehouse for construction material, police said.
Gaza's Health Ministry says that since the conflict started July 8 more than 1,880 Palestinians have been killed, mostly civilians. The Israeli military says that more than 60 of its soldiers have been killed in fighting.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come under international pressure to halt the fighting because of the heavy civilian death toll.
On Sunday, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon called an Israeli airstrike on a school that killed 10 people a "moral outrage and a criminal act" and demanded a quick investigation.
Although most Israelis back the government's operation in Gaza, some Israelis are skeptical about the government's stated mission to destroy the Hamas tunnel system.
"It's confusing to be a civilian in a situation where you don't really know if they are really considered a threat, these tunnels," said Tehila Ezrahi, 36, in Jerusalem. "Or if it's just something that they are just saying in order to justify what they are doing."

Well, this doesn't sound good: NASA just announced that the Earth's thermosphere, an upper layer of the atmosphere, collapsed. It's the biggest contraction in 43 years and scientists have no idea what's going on. I don't feel safe anymore.
John Emmert, lead author of the paper that announced the finding, reassures all of us with:
"Something is going on that we do not understand"
Apparently, thermosphere collapses do happen every so often, especially during periods of solar inactivity. But the magnitude of the collapse is what puzzles scientists, since it's two to three times greater than any sort of explainable activity.
The thermosphere is pretty far away from us, closer to where Earth meets space, so it's not exactly time to panic but when science can't explain it, I can't help myself. The world is so ending in 2012. [Space via MSNBC]

Hilo town, the hub of the South and North Hilo districts, was once a thriving port for the sugar cane industry. Today it is the Hawaii County Seat and home of the island's major state and federal offices, a modern international airport, Hilo Medical Center, the University of Hawaii-Hilo, and state-of-the-art Imiloa Astronomy Center.
Although Hilo is not an incorporated city, it is the second-largest population center in the state with over 40,000 residents according to the 2000 census. Hilo also has an array of commerce and entertainment offerings--boutiques and galleries, big box stores, restaurants, museums, and several hotels.
The historic Bayfront area, though impacted by major tsunamis in 1946 and 1960, is still a center of economic and cultural activity, including a weekly farmers market, Palace Theatre events and the annual Black & White Night, Merrie Monarch, and Ho'olaule'a festivals.
Embracing the town's reputation as "the rainiest city in America", Hilo residents have a certain pride about East Hawaii's weather and enjoy a different flavor of Hawaii life than their neighbors on the dry west side. The Big Island's famed greenery, tropical fruits and flowers, trees, ferns, forests, and farms all require reliable rainfall to thrive. Water is so important to life in Hawaii that waiwai (the word for "water", doubled) translates as "assets, valuable, wealth, rich, worth and benefit."
As is true for much of the Big Island, Hilo real estate is a mixed market, with upscale custom homes and fixer-upper "opportunity" properties, condos, vacation residences, private estates and oceanfront property. A knowledgeable Clark Realty agent can guide you to the best Hilo property for your needs.

Good Ventures necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 113 diseños de 34 diseñadores freelance.
I need a fairly simple logo for a new brand of ethical products. The company is developing a range of ethical products, starting with a range of ethical skincare, but will stretch into clothing and other consumer products.
Good* Ventures
Desired Color Scheme:
Neutrals, whites, charcoals
Desired Style:
Simple, modern
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
The logo will form the basis for the brand identity and will be extended across the website and packaging material.
The name of the company is Good Ventures and the current website is http://www.goodventures.co.uk.
The idea for the logo is that a * would be used after good (Good* Ventures), further * would then be used on the website and packaging to explain what this means. e.g.:
Good* Ventures
*Â Our products are designed using sustainability principles to help all of us be a little better in our everyday lives.
Look and feel:
 - The target market for this brand is 25-45 conscious consumers - unisex but probably focusing more on women than men.
- I'm looking for a modern logo that could be used on a translucent white or block background - something that would stand out on shelf if we used it later on product packaging. I'd like you to give thoughts about what font would be used for the explanations as well as it may be different.
- The concept should feel approachable and not too stark - perhaps using a slightly unfinished or roughly drawn * and explanation font. Â
 - Good* should stand on its own as well as with other words such as "Ventures", "Beauty" and "Clothing".

Well made and fits perfectly. Car pulls smoother through top end of RRM range. In first week, MPG went from 26.1, long term combined, to 26.4, only around town. Long term cost effective replacement to stock filter; it pays for itself. Oiled permanent filters can foul the mass-airflow sensor if over-oiled: the aFe Pro-Dry S solves this issue.

text: Back Introducing a Bottle If baby is to be bottle fed in your absence, introduce the bottle prior to returning to work. It is best to breastfeed a baby exclusively for the first three to four weeks, however. This allows the mother's body to establish milk production prior to separation from the baby, and it helps to avoid "nipple confusion" between the breast and the artificial nipple. Introducing the bottle for substitute or supplementary feedings prior to four weeks has also been found to contribute to a decrease in milk production. How you introduce the bottle in preparation for returning to work may depend on the length of your maternity leave. If you must return to work within four to eight weeks of giving birth, start by adding a bottle of your expressed milk about one or two weeks beforehand. Choose a feeding when you may normally be away from your baby and only provide a bottle to him/her during that time. This may help the baby adapt more easily to the change, as it will have become a part of his/her regular routine. However, you may want to limit the amount in the bottle, so the baby will be ready to breastfeed within two to three hours. For a longer maternity leave, you may want to introduce a bottle with your milk by eight to 10 weeks, but there is no need to offer it on a daily basis or at a time when you will be away at work. That can wait until one or two weeks before your return to work. Some babies will not take a bottle from their mother. It may be necessary to have the baby's father, or someone else, give him/her the bottle. This will also help the baby adjust to someone other than the mother providing the feedings. Also, not all bottle nipples are alike. Some tend to be more compatible with breastfeeding than others, and some babies prefer one type over another. If you do not have to return to work until the second part of your baby's first year, you probably can avoid introducing a bottle altogether. Older babies often do well when drinking directly from a cup or a sipper-type cup.
