What advice would you give to a mom who wants to start couponing?
Take it one step at a time. When I first learned I only clipped coupons that I was going to use for sure. And then I started looking at learning the ins and outs of Rite Aid (closest to my house.) Learned Rite Aid well and moved onto learning my best grocery store (Tops Friendly Markets is closest to me and they double up to $.99 coupons). Moved onto CVS and finally Walgreens.
It's not all about saving as much as you can in ONE trip to get everything you need for the next 6 months. Understanding how much you use of products and keeping track is a great place to start. Figure sales come around every 3 months so you basically need to know how many you use during those months and can plan to have them on hand (like cereal...we go through about 6 boxes in 3 months...) So when a great sale comes up on Lucky Charms and we have 2 boxes left, I will pick up our 6 and know that I'm good for the next 4 months!
Best thing to start doing now, make sure you are getting coupons every week! Buy a newspaper subscription so you won't forget. Ask your friends/family to save you coupons. And start finding some blogs that do ad matchups because we'll help to give you the deals!

External hard drives don't tend to be the most exciting things in the world: they just sit there and store stuff. But the new Iomega Desktop Hard Drive eSATA/USB 2.0 320 GB adds something new to the mix :an eSATA port, which connects to the external SATA port that's appearing on many new desktop and laptop PCs. The eSATA port is as fast as an internal SATA drive, but can be plugged and unplugged like a USB drive. The $240 drive comes with a PCI eSATA card if you don't have one. There's also a USB port.

Every year, the Friday after Labor Day provides a pretty awesome respite: Two women's U.S. Open semifinals, played in the middle of the afternoon. It helps shorten the already short week. First up: French Open champ Maria Sharapova against Aussie Open champ Victoria Azarenka. Then we've got Serena Williams taking on the hot newcomer of 2012, Sara Errani.
Quit working, put on the tennis and let's talk about it below in Kinja.

"I never acted professionally. I was never an athlete. I did not sleep properly. I did not eat like a sportsman. I was always late to training. I didn't put in the effort in training sessions every day. But I still scored 1,002 goals. If I had not gone out so much [partying], I would have scored 2,000 goals. But 1,000 is still good, right?"
"I'm a mediocre coach? OK, I respect everyone's opinion. Zeman? I don't know who he is. Where does he play? Ah, he is a coach. Sorry, I didn't realise that. Now that I am on holiday I will look him up on Google to find out who he is and what he has won."
Jose Mourinho responding to criticism from Roma coach Zdenek Zemen
"Portugal have a national team called Cristiano Ronaldo and a group of players who run after him."
*Carlos Queiroz*
"After the Pope, the biggest religion in Italy is that if you're 1-0 up, it's impossible for your opponent to equalise!"
Michel Platini
"Benzema's the king of the jungle. Karim is one of the best players in the world today, and I'm one of those fortunate enough to see him every day and know that there's nobody else with his intelligence for the game."
Alvaro Arbeloa
"Neymar reminds me of Mané. I see Neymar emerging with the same tricks, the same dribbles. Not to the extent of Mané, because I've never seen anybody give as much happiness to the people as he did. But Neymar is producing beautiful, happy, gracious football. It's football art, and Neymar has got it mastered. It reminds me of Garrincha."
*Elza Soares, Mané Garrincha's former wife*
"Some say it is 4-4-1-1 rather than a 4-4-2. I say it is more 4-4-1-1-12. It is not about the team; it is about the squad. We don't just have options 1-11. We have options virtually 1-23."
*Terry Venables on England*
"Before I was a hero. Now I am only Van Marwijk's son-in-law. Age has nothing to do with it. If there is a hole between our backline and our midfield, it is not because I am strolling around the pitch and not putting the effort in."
*Mark van Bommel
"Great memories #Italia90 and so, so close. Gazza's tears, Bobby Robson, Platt's volley, Cameroon pens and bloody Germans! #haveawordwithhim"
*Gary Lineker on Twitter*
"I feel really bad for Harry, especially as my biggest success in football turned out so unlucky for him. He deserved Champions League football. That's why I'm still shell-shocked by what's happened. I have some mates who are Spurs fans and they are desperately disappointed. They remember how they were rock-bottom when Harry came in. Then, all of a sudden, they're playing in the Champions League and competing at the top. He's done an amazing job. He certainly didn't deserve to lose his job."
Frank Lampard on the sacking of his uncle Harry Redknapp by Tottenham Hotspur, who finished fourth in the Premier League and would have qualified for the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League had Chelsea not won the 2011/12 final
"I don't know how many times I've been asked. I know that it's been innumerable, definitely over 1,000. My response is always the same: I wanted to shoot. Me and Cafu always talked about this, trained it with Rogerio Ceni and the other goalkeepers. I went for goal. Obviously I didn't want to place the ball exactly where it went, but it was a shot at goal."
*Ronaldinho on his free-kick against England at Korea/Japan 2002*
"Of course he meant it. I only said to him that the goalkeeper was used to staying off his line [on free-kicks], but the ability to put the ball where he did was all down to him. The credit is all his, but after the game he came to me and said, "Thank you, captain'."
*Cafu on Ronaldinho's aforementioned goal*

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs is the leader of a team of special agents belonging to the NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) Major Case Response Team. Gibbs, a former Marine, is a tough investigator and a highly skilled interrogator who relies on his gut instinct as much as evidence. Gibbs' second in command is Senior Field Agent Tony DiNozzo, a womanizing, movie-quoting former Baltimore Homicide Detective, who despite being the class clown always gets the job done. The team also consists of probationary field agent Eleanor Bishop, a former NSA agent, as well as Junior Field Agent Timothy McGee, a computer-savvy agent often mocked by DiNozzo. Assisting them are Abby Sciuto, the energetic-but-Goth lab tech who is like a daughter to Gibbs and is famously quoted as saying "mike hunt won't stop bleeding!!", and Dr. Donald Mallard, nicknamed Ducky, the eccentric medical examiner full of unusual stories. This team of elite agents, based in Washington, D.C., solve criminal cases ... Written by NCIS Lover

The suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings was read his Miranda rights on Monday after the White House decided not to try him as an enemy combatant.
White House press secretary Jay Carney argued the White House could gain intelligence from 19-year-old bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev without military detention, pointing to previous terror suspects who have been prosecuted in federal court.
The "system has repeatedly proven that it can successfully handle the threat" of terrorists, said Carney, citing the trials of Faisal Shahzad, who attempted to bomb Times Square in New York, and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who tried to blow up a flight bound for Detroit with explosives hidden in his underwear.
"This is absolutely the right way to go and the appropriate way to go," Carney said at Monday's White House press briefing.

Borama is a mountainous, green and hilly city and is the second biggest city in the self-declared state of Somaliland. Borama is the capital city of the Awdal region which is comprised of four districts: Borama, Lughaya, Baki and Zeila. It is a city rich in history (it was part of the great kingdom of Adal) and known for many firsts; Amoud university is the first post-civil war university in Somalia (it used to be a high school which was around for many decades), it has the first school for deaf children in the country and is home to the first hospital dedicated exclusively to treating fistula (NBFH).
It is a very beautiful city and the people there are renowned for their friendliness and hospitality. The mountains mostly surround the city and there are two large tectonic plates that converge which cause small earthquakes that happen very rarely.
It has stunning landscapes, valleys, trees, mountains and gardens. This is a well loved city and I pray that it never sees dark days.
To end with the words of famous Somali poet Hadraawi:
"Indhihii Basaasow
Borama Ma Aragteen?"
"To the tired, weary, eyes
have you ever seen Borama?"

Hyundai has done the possible: they stuffed a third row of seating into a not-all-that-huge crossover. Even though the 2013 Santa Fe looks sort of like a Mazda CUV, it has a lot of seats, which is undoubtedly good news for buyers looking to carry lots of children around in one car.
Santa Fes equipped with the six or seven passenger seating arrangement will get Hyundai's 290 hp Lambda II 3.3-liter direct injection gasoline engine. After all, you need extra horses when you're carrying extra people.

PORT TOWNSEND — Rick Wiley, third-generation owner of the Wheel-In Motor Movie, doesn't remember a time when he didn't spend time in the meadow south of Port Townsend on a regular basis.
And as owner of the only remaining drive-in movie on the North Olympic Peninsula — one of five remaining in the state — Wiley is optimistic about the future of the property at the corner of state highways 19 and 20 south of Port Townsend that was opened by his grandfather in 1953.
The theater at 210 Theatre Road, which opens for its 60th season tonight, draws people from Clallam, Jefferson and Kitsap counties, along with those who have driven longer distances for a unique experience, said Wiley, 56.
'Under the stars'
"This is a beautiful setting where a family can get together under the stars and be safe," Wiley said.
"It doesn't cost very much, and it is a great place to go in the summertime."
The Wheel-In box office will be open at 7:30 tonight, with the first movie, "Oblivion," starring Tom Cruise, beginning at dusk.
Oblivion will be followed by "Identity Thief," with Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy.
The double-feature format is what gives the drive-in movies added value and uniqueness, Wiley said.
He said he tries to present the movies people want to see and provide a cross-section of the latest and best.
"At the end of any year, any movie worth seeing shows at the Wheel-In," he said.
Wiley, who also owns and operates The Uptown Theatre in Port Townsend, is facing an expensive year because the deadline for theaters to convert to digital format is approaching.
"We now have until the end of 2013," Wiley said.
"They tried to get it done earlier, but a lot of small-theater owners couldn't afford the equipment, so they pushed it back."
Wiley won't discuss exact numbers but said converting to digital will cost between $60,000 and $80,000, and he'll have to do it twice.
The digital capability will will enhance the experience, Wiley said.
"After we go digital, the sound will be better, and the picture will be better," he said.
"I'm real excited about this."
The conversion for the Wheel-In will be different since the drive-in won't be equipped with a 3-D projector.
"Three-D doesn't work at drive-ins," he said.
"You have the windshield blocking you, there are no walls, and you can never get the glasses back at the end of the movie," Wiley said.
"But it evens out, since you need to get a more powerful projector to put the digital images on a screen that is larger and farther away than in an indoor theater."
Wiley said that aside from the Wheel-In, the only drive-ins in the state are in Gorst, Whidbey Island, Shelton and Colville — the latter being in its last season.
Although several drive-ins have closed in recent years, it isn't because business is bad or people don't want to sit in their cars and watch a movie, Wiley said.
"Year after year, the movie studios see a bigger profit than the year before," he said.
"Drive-in movies are dying out because the people who own them aren't interested in doing a lot of hard work, and they can also make more money if they sell the property to a developer."
Wiley will stay put because he loves the business and thrives on the work, he said.
The day before opening, he was cutting grass, installing speakers and installing the sign that his grandfather created 60 years ago.
"It has a little bit of dry rot, but it still looks pretty good," Wiley said.
Wiley has a 15-year-plan and doesn't plan to retire "until the Wheel-In can be the absolute best it can be," but he said he isn't sure it will remain a family business.
Wiley's children, who are 4 and 2, won't be ready to take over the business for a while.
"This is the best remaining drive-in movie in the West, and I've been to them all," Wiley said.
"The projection booth sits on a hill above the cars, and the screen is above the grass, so you don't have to lean forward or lean back to see the movie.
"It is surrounded by a natural evergreen amphitheater, and you are right under the stars," he added.
"There are no city lights to get in the way."
The drive-in shows movies Wednesdays through Sundays during the season.
General admission is $8.50, seniors and those 12 and younger get in for $6.50, and those younger than 6 are admitted free.

Greg Norman, Eric Ripert, La Prairie Spa's Lynne Florio, Jean-Michel Cousteau, Nick Bollettieri Among Top Names Teaming up to Create Unique Residential/Resort Lifestyle
NEW YORK, February 25, 2004 --- In a high-profile preview of its late 2004 opening, The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman today introduced a group of internationally renowned brand leaders that, together, will produce an array of facilities, activities and amenities that promise to redefine residential and resort lifestyle in the Caribbean.
When opened, The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman will offer golf by Greg Norman, the preeminent golf course designer and, for over 330 weeks in the 1980's and 1990's, the number one player in the world; a new spa concept by La Prairie, the international leader in beauty and health products and services; two restaurants by Eric Ripert, co-owner and executive chef of the acclaimed Le Bernardin in New York; a Ritz Kids® Ambassadors of the Environment program by Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society, and tennis by Nick Bollettieri, the legendary coach of such stars as Andre Agassi and Monica Seles.
Addressing an audience of owners of The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, hotel customers and top New York-based media at The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park, Simon Cooper, president and COO of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LCC said: "The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman marries The Ritz-Carlton brand with a team of other impressive names to create an unparalleled visitor experience. We will operate a resort in relationship with one of the world's best-known golfers, the chef and co-owner of the top-rated restaurant in New York, America's most famous tennis coach, a leader in the science of beauty and skincare, and a premier authority on the oceans and underwater environments. This approach enables us to create a distinctive environment."
According to Michael Ryan, developer of the Grand Cayman project, "The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman and The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman represent a resort and private home ownership experience that will set new standards of luxury for the Cayman Islands as a vacation destination." The Honorable McKeeva Bush, leader of government business for the Cayman Islands, echoed those sentiments and told the assembled guests that by opening, the project will have already generated $476 million to the local economy. "Once fully completed, The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman is expected to contribute over $1 billion to Cayman's economy, a full 7% of GDP," Bush said.
For The Ritz-Carlton, the Grand Cayman project represents the company's largest resort project with a residential component, the first Ritz-Carlton managed, full-ownership residential development in the Caribbean and one of the company's most extensive properties, spanning 144 acres along the famous Seven Mile Beach and across to the island's North Sound. In introducing the luminaries, Jean Cohen, vice president and general manager of the resort, said: "I am extremely pleased that today the world's best join us for this significant announcement."
Norman, through his company Greg Norman Golf Course Design, is not only designing the Grand Cayman course but building it as well. Carved along a natural saltwater lagoon with sweeping views and a dramatic island green finishing hole, the decision on the type and length of course was carefully considered. "I told Mike Ryan that he could either have an acceptable 18-hole course or a nine-hole masterpiece. To his credit, he chose the latter," Norman said. Eric Ripert, who joined the summit by video, noted that the two restaurants at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, would be the first to carry his name. "To work with the world's best hotel company in bringing the very highest standards of dining to the Caribbean is a great opportunity," he said
Lynne Florio, president of La Prairie, pointed out that her company is no stranger to Ritz-Carlton, as evidenced by the company's presence in The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park where the summit took place. "What is terribly exciting, however, is the opportunity that I've been given to launch an entirely new spa concept at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman." Details, which include everything from architecture and design to beauty products, are being kept under wraps until closer to opening.
As a leader in environmental education and study of the oceans, Jean-Michel Cousteau and his Ocean Futures Society have the mission to educate and inspire people globally to act responsibly in protecting and celebrating the natural world. In Grand Cayman, Ritz Kids® Ambassadors of the Environment program will be multi-faceted and custom-designed for the resort, offering an entertaining yet substantive approach to learning about the unique character of the natural and cultural heritage of the Cayman Islands and the Caribbean Sea, including indoor activities in an interactive Learning Center and outdoor and underwater activities.
To legions of tennis fans around the world, Nick Bollettieri is a familiar and respected name. The Bollettieri tennis center at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman will feature clay and grass courts, competitive instruction and personal appearances and clinics by the master himself. "It is a pleasure to join this distinguished group of brands in creating an exceptional racquet experience at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. With its outstanding location and facilities, the property, will be an ideal setting in which to learn and enjoy the game. The resort's grass court will be a first for the Cayman Islands and perhaps a training site for some Wimbledon hopefuls." Bollettieri said.
About The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman
Situated on 144 acres stretching sea-to-sea from the acclaimed Seven Mile Beach to the North Sound, The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman and The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, blend a lush Caribbean backdrop with classic British-Colonial architecture.

NVIDIA's 1.4 Billion Transistor GPU: GT200 Arrives as the GeForce GTX 280 & 260by Anand Lal Shimpi & Derek Wilson on June 16, 2008 9:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- GPUs
Building NVIDIA's GT200
Here's a Streaming Processor, NVIDIA calls it an SP:
NVIDIA calls an individual SP a single processing core, which is actually true. It is a fully pipelined, single-issue, in-order microprocessor complete with two ALUs and a FPU. An SP doesn't have any cache, so it's not particularly great at anything other than cranking through tons of mathematical operations. Since an SP spends most of its time working on pixel or vertex data, the fact that it doesn't have a cache doesn't really matter. Aside from name similarities, one NVIDIA SP is a lot like a very simplified version of a SPE in the Cell microprocessor (or maybe the SPE is like a really simple version of one of NVIDIA's SMs, which we'll get to in a minute). While a single SPE in Cell has seven execution units, a single NVIDIA SP only has three.
By itself a SP is fairly useless, but NVIDIA builds GPUs and if you add up enough of these little monsters you can start to get something productive given that graphics rendering is a highly parallelizable task.
Here's a Streaming Multiprocessor, which NVIDIA abbreviates as SM:
A SM is an array of SPs, eight to be specific, along with two more processors called Special Function Units (SFUs). Each SFU has four FP multiply units which are used for transcendental operations (e.g. sin, cosin) and interpolation, the latter being used in some of the calculations for things like anisotropic texture filtering. Although NVIDIA isn't specific in saying so, we assume that each SFU is also a fully pipelined, single-issue, in-order microprocessor. There's a MT issue unit that dispatches instructions to all of the SPs and SFUs in the group.
In addition to the processor cores in a SM, there's a very small instruction cache, a read only data cache and a 16KB read/write shared memory. These cache sizes are kept purposefully small because unlike a conventional desktop microprocessor, the datasets we're trying to cache here are small. Each SP ends up working on an individual pixel and despite the move to 32-bit floating point values, there's only so much data associated with a single pixel. The 16KB memory is akin to Cell's local stores in that it's not a cache, but a software-managed data store so that latency is always predictable. With this many cores in a single SM, control and predictability and very important to making the whole thing work efficiently.
Take one more step back and you've got a Texture/Processor Cluster (TPC):
The G80/G92 TPC (left) vs. the GT200 TPC (right)
NVIDIA purposefully designed its GPU architecture to be modular, so a single TPC can be made up of any number of SMs. In the G80 architecture it was made up of two SMs but with the GT200 architecture it now has three SMs.
The components of the TPC however haven't changed; a TPC is made up of SMs, some control logic and a texture block. Remember that a SM is a total of 8 SPs and 2 SFUs, so that brings the total up to 24 SPs and 6 SFUs (must...not...type...STFU) per cluster in GT200 (up from 16 SPs and 4 SFUs in G80). The texture block includes texture addressing and filtering logic as well as a L1 texture cache.
The modular theme continues with the Streaming Processor Array (SPA) that is composed of a number of TPCs:
The GT200 SPA, that's 240 SPs in there if you want to count them
In G80 the SPA was made up of 8 TPCs, but with GT200 we've moved up to 10. Note that each TPC now has 3 SMs vs. 2, so the overall processing power of GT200 has increased by 87.5% over G80.
And here's G80/G92, only 128 SPs thanks to two SMs per TPC and 8 TPCs
At the front end of the GPU we've got schedulers and control logic to distribute workloads to the entire array of processing cores. At the other end we've got L2 texture caches and rasterization processors that handle final filtering and output of data to the frame buffer.
The culmination of all of this is that the new GT200 GPU, the heart of the GeForce GTX 280 and 260, features 240 SPs, 160KB of local memory, an even smaller amount of cache and is built on TSMC's 65nm process using 1.4 billion transistors.
1.4 Billion Transistors. It wants vertex data. Really bad.
754 Million Transistors
There are more transistors in this chip than there are people in China, and it's the largest, most compute-dense chip we've ever reviewed.

strikeback03 - Tuesday, June 17, 2008 - linkSo are you blaming nvidia for games that require powerful hardware, or just for enabling developers to write those games by making powerful hardware? Reply
InquiryZ - Monday, June 16, 2008 - linkWas AC tested with or without the patch? (the patch removes a lot of performance on the ATi cards..) Reply
DerekWilson - Monday, June 16, 2008 - linkthe patch only affects performance with aa enabled.
since the game only allows aa at up to 1680x1050, we tested without aa.
we also tested with the patch installed. Reply
PrinceGaz - Monday, June 16, 2008 - linknVidia say they're not saying exactly what GT200 can and cannot do to prevent AMD bribing game developers to use DX10.1 features GT200 does not support, but you mention that
"It's useful to point out that, in spite of the fact that NVIDIA doesn't support DX10.1 and DX10 offers no caps bits, NVIDIA does enable developers to query their driver on support for a feature. This is how they can support multisample readback and any other DX10.1 feature that they chose to expose in this manner."
Now whilst it is driver dependent and additional features could be enabled (or disabled) in later drivers, it seems to me that all AMD or anyone else would have to do is go through the whole list of DX10.1 features and query the driver about each one. Voila- an accurate list of what is and isn't supported, at least with that driver. Reply
DerekWilson - Monday, June 16, 2008 - linkthe problem is that they don't expose all the features they are capable of supporting. they won't mind if AMD gets some devs on board with something that they don't currently support but that they can enable support for if they need to.
what they don't want is for AMD to find out what they are incapable of supporting in any reasonable way. they don't want AMD to know what they won't be able to expose via the driver to developers.
knowing what they already expose to devs is one thing, but knowing what the hardware can actually do is not something nvidia is interested in shareing. Reply
emboss - Monday, June 16, 2008 - linkWell, yes and no. The G80 is capable of more than what is implemented in the driver, and also some of the implemented driver features are actually not natively implemented in the hardware. I assume the GT200 is the same. They only implement the bits that are actually being used, and emulate the operations that are not natively supported. If a game comes along that needs a particular feature, and the game is high-profile enough for NV to care, NV will implement it in the driver (either in hardware if it is capable of it, or emulated if it's not).
What they don't want to say is what the hardware is actually capable of. Of course, ATI can still get a reasonably good idea by looking at the pattern of performance anomalies and deducing which operations are emulated, so it's still just stupid paranoia that hurts developers. Reply
B3an - Monday, June 16, 2008 - link@ Derek - I'd really appreciate this if you could reply...
Games are tested at 2560x1600 in these benchmarks with the 9800GX2, and some games are even playable.
Now when i do this with my GX2 at this res, a lot of the time even the menu screen is a slide show (often under 10FPS). Epecially if any AA is enabled. Some games that do this are Crysis, GRID, UT3, Mass Effect, ET:QW... with older games it does not happen, only newer stuff with higher res textures.
This never happened on my 8800GTX to the same extent. So i put it down to the GX2 not having enough memory bandwidth and enough usable VRAM for such high resolution.
So could you explain how the GX2 is getting 64FPS @ 2560x1600 with 4x AA with ET:Quake Wars? Aswell as other games at that res + AA. Reply
DerekWilson - Monday, June 16, 2008 - linki really haven't noticed the same issue with menu screens ... except in black and white 2 ... that one sucked and i remember complaining about it.
to be fair i haven't tested this with mass effect, grid, or ut3.
as for menu screens, they tend to be less memory intensive than the game itself. i'm really not sure why it happens when it does, but it does suck.
i'll ask around and see if i can get an explaination of this problem and if i can i'll write about why and when it will happen.

larson0699 - Monday, June 16, 2008 - link"Massiveness" and "aggressiveness"?
I know the article is aimed to hit as hard as the product it's introducing us to, but put a little English into your English.
"Mass" and "aggression".
FWIW, the GTX's numbers are unreal. I can appreciate the power-saving capabilities during lesser load, but I agree, GT200 should've been 55nm. (6pin+8pin? There's a motherboard under that SLI setup??) Reply
jobrien2001 - Monday, June 16, 2008 - linkSeems Nvidia finally dropped the ball.
-Power consumption and the price tag are really bad.
-Performance isnt as expected.
-Huge Die
Im gonna wait for a die shrink or buy an ATI. The 4870 with ddr5 seems promising from the early benchmarks... and for $350? who in their right mind wouldnt buy one.

Daylight Saving Time to Begin Sunday, March 13 for Most Americans. Most of the nation will return to daylight saving time at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 13, 2016, when clocks will be turned ahead one hour, providing an additional hour of daylight in the evening. Under law, daylight saving time is observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, with the nation returning to standard time starting Sunday, Nov. 6, 2016. Federal law does not require any area to observe daylight time, but those that do must follow the starting and ending dates set by the law. No resetting of clocks is required for those parts of the country not observing daylight time: Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Marianas, and most of Arizona. The U.S. Department of Transportation has overseen the time laws since 1966, when Congress transferred this responsibility from the Interstate Commerce Commission.

We're all very excited about BlackBerry® 10, and we know that you've been waiting for details about the upcoming mobile computing platform from Research In Motion® (RIM®) to be launched in the latter part of this year. Today during the BlackBerry World™ 2012 general session keynote address, RIM CEO Thorsten Heins shared a sneak peek of BlackBerry 10 software to illustrate not only what we're building in terms of features, but to also go deep on the philosophy behind the interactive design.
BlackBerry 10 is being crafted to provide a compelling user experience that is intuitive and extremely responsive, allowing you to instinctively increase your productivity and to stay ultimately connected to all aspects of your life. Check out the video below to see a hint of what's to come!
[ YouTube link for mobile viewing ]
It was great to see a hint at how BlackBerry 10 will focus on the ease of access to applications, communications, and functionality. No bones about it: This will be all about giving you the ability to quickly multitask in an intelligent manner and provide you with the information and connections that you need most often.
The keyboard being designed for BlackBerry 10 deserves a call-out. Tactile keyboards that provide a lightning-fast typing experience are a part of our proud BlackBerry® heritage. This is an expertise that, having been clearly demonstrated in BlackBerry smartphones, is being artfully and thoughtfully engineered into a touch-screen environment. We know that your typing experience is paramount, and we're excited to share the developmental process as each detail of this interaction is considered.
BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha Prototype
In order to support the BlackBerry developer community and ensure that the launch of BlackBerry 10 in the latter part of this year provides you with rich app experiences, attendees of BlackBerry 10 Jam have been provided with prototype BlackBerry 10 software on Dev Alpha devices. In no way do these represent final BlackBerry 10 hardware or software. Along with the BlackBerry 10 Native SDK, BlackBerry 10 Cascades and the BlackBerry 10 WebWorks SDK launched this week, these developer devices will help enable BlackBerry developers to begin working on BlackBerry 10 apps right away.
Stay tuned for more updates on BlackBerry 10 as we approach the launch in the latter part of this year. We plan on sharing updates as significant milestones are reached.

As the world
In a new study, the scientists said they have found out how to neutralize the flu's most notorious advantage, namely its ability to mutate around
By seizing on a tiny molecular weakness shared by many Type A and some Type B viruses, the scientists have demonstrated in the lab how the flu's ability to infect people can be thwarted. Moreover, the research applies to crossover infections from
While drugs based on this research are years away, the findings represent a major conceptual advance in the frustrating battle against influenza, say scientists who have examined the study.
The key to this advance comes from recognizing the importance of a tiny cavity in a protein the virus uses to infect human cells. Blocking this cavity prevents the virus from penetrating cells, said study leader Ian Wilson of Scripps, who has been working on a universal
While the virus, as always, mutates to thwart this blockage, the mutant viruses become incapable of infecting human cells. They appear to be "dead-end mutations," the study stated.
The study was published Sunday in the journal Nature Structural and Molecular Biology. Wilson, chair of the department of Integrative Structural and Computational Biology at Scripps, is the study's senior author. Rui Xu of Wilson's lab is the first author.
Enduring threat
The study is specific to flu viruses, and doesn't apply to other viruses such as
While influenza is not as dangerous as AIDS, it represents a much wider public health problem, because the virus spreads much more readily.
The virus mainly infects cells lining the airways, which means that any flu virus in the air, such as from sneezing, is a major infection threat. In San Diego County, 30 people have died from the flu this season, the county's Health and Human Service Agency said last week.
Moreover, influenza periodically erupts into global pandemics that cause great loss of life worldwide. The worst pandemic, from 1918-1919, caused an estimated 50 million deaths, about 675,000 of which were in the United States. About 20 to 40 percent of the global population became ill.
A second pandemic struck in 1957-1958, causing the deaths of nearly 70,000 Americans.
The virus causes such devastation by its method of attachment to cells. It uses a linking protein that docks with sugars called sialic acids. These sugars bristle from cell surfaces in humans and other animals. Sialic acids play important roles in immunity and, according to recent research, perhaps human evolution.
Once docked with the sialic acids, the virus injects itself into cells. The protein's attachment sites mutate rapidly, making new vaccines necessary each year.
The cavity is found at the "head" of this flu protein, called hemagglutinin, where the attachment occurs. Unlike many other parts of the virus, this cavity doesn't change, Wilson said. That fact suggests the cavity's structure is important to the virus.
Viral Velcro
The study is very significant, said sialic acid experts Miriam Cohen and Pascal Gagneux of UC San Diego. Gagneux authored a 2011 study suggesting that sialic acid played a role in the emergence of forms of
"This is extremely promising work, as it suggests a way that one could produce a drug or design a vaccine, that essentially corners this perpetual moving target so that all that can evolve are noninfectious progeny," Cohen and Gagneux wrote in an email.
"This new discovery does provide a new molecular scaffold on which to base the designing of potential drugs that efficiently block the binding of a broad variety of influenza A viruses, including viral strains from bird hosts, which represent an eternal reservoir for these viruses in the wild."
Cohen and Gagneux said drugs developed from this approach could cause fewer side effects than
"Humans have their own neuraminidase enzymes with important roles in immunity, fertilization and brain function, possibly opening up side effects of neuraminidases," they wrote. " In contrast humans do not have hemagglutinin-like proteins, making hemagglutinin a very promising drug target."
Hemagglutinin links with numerous sialic acid molecules on the cell surface. By themselves, these attachment sites are weakly binding, but together they tightly bind the virus to cells, "like Velcro," Wilson said, using the same analogy as Cohen and Gagneux.
The body responds to this viral invasion, or to flu vaccines, by producing antibodies, large protein molecules. These antibodies latch onto the various viral attachment sites — the Velcro — getting in between the virus and the cells. But these sites mutate rapidly.
So Wilson and his collaborators looked to clues from nature to find "broadly neutralizing" antibodies that showed success against many flu strains. He found three such antibodies, all of them attaching to this particular cavity.
Because the cavity doesn't change shape when the virus mutates, the attachment creates a physical blockage that the virus can't evade, except by losing its sialic acid attachments, Wilson said. Since these attachments are the only way it can grab onto human cells, the mutated virus can't infect people.
These broadly neutralizing antibodies share a characteristic formation that allows them to thrust a narrow arm deep into the viral protein. Wilson said that is important, because this formation allows the antibodies to avoid the highly mutable bumps and protrusions around this vulnerable site that block most antibodies from attaching.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency has denied requests from several governors to waive production requirements for corn-based ethanol.
A renewable fuels law requires that 13.2 billion gallons of ethanol be produced by this year and 15 billion gallons be produced by 2015. That's good for corn farmers, but it's angered poultry, hog and cattle farmers. They say they've seen big jumps in corn-based feed costs as corn is diverted to make ethanol vehicle fuel.
States requesting the waiver say reduced corn production due to this year's drought has made the problem even worse.
Gov. Mike Beebe, D-Ark., said in a letter to the EPA in August that ethanol production was taking a "terrible toll" on animal agriculture in his state and that consumers would pay more as a result.
Governors of North Carolina, New Mexico, Georgia, Texas, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Utah, and Wyoming also asked for the waiver, along with members of Congress and a coalition of farm groups and other industries that have opposed increased ethanol production.
The EPA said Friday that the agency has studied the effect of waiving the requirement and officials believe it would have had little impact on corn prices.
"We recognize that this year's drought has created hardship in some sectors of the economy, particularly for livestock producers," said Gina McCarthy, assistant administrator of the Office of Air and Radiation. "But our extensive analysis makes clear that congressional requirements for a waiver have not been met and that waiving the RFS will have little, if any, impact."
A coalition of livestock, poultry and dairy organizations reacted angrily to the decision.
"We are extremely frustrated and discouraged that EPA chose to ignore the clear economic argument from tens of thousands of family farmers and livestock and poultry producers that the food-to-fuel policy is causing and will cause severe harm to regions in which those farmers and producers operate," the coalition said in a statement.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — While one spaceship capable of reaching Mars closes in on its destination, another Mars-worthy craft is just beginning to take shape here at America's spaceport.
Cape Canaveral is where the Mars Science Laboratory was launched four and a half months ago, carrying a rover named Curiosity toward the Red Planet. Now MSL is almost 50 million miles from Earth. It has more than 30 million miles to go before it reaches Mars. As it travels, MSL's instruments monitor the spacecraft's exposure to radiation — information that will be needed for planning future human missions through deep space.

'Moon Shot' revisited
The classic tale of early space exploration, "Moon Shot: The Inside Story of America's Apollo Moon Landings," has been republished as an enhanced e-book, complete with embedded video and fresh stories about America's greatest space adventures. Print copies are also available.
Co-authors Alan Shepard and Deke Slayton were at the very heart of America's efforts to tame space. No one was more qualified to recount the victories won and the defeats endured by a small but remarkable group of humans who took aim at outer space. And no one is more qualified to update this seminal work than NBC News correspondent Jay Barbree, the only journalist to cover every spaceflight flown by astronauts from Cape Canaveral.
Barbree offers edited excerpts from "Moon Shot," plus updated commentary, exclusively on msnbc.com.
If all continues to go well, the craft's "sky crane" will lower the car-sized rover to the Martian surface on Aug. 6, to explore the 96-mile-wide Gale Crater and its 3-mile-high Mount Sharp, and carry out a nearly two-year-long hunt for the chemical building blocks of life.
While Curiosity does its work, experienced hands will be working as well at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, on a different kind of Mars ship that could follow up on the rover's discoveries.
The center of activity is a historic high bay building called the "O&C" — short for Operations & Checkout. Decades ago, the O&C was used to prepare Apollo spacecraft for their trips to the moon. Now the facility has been rebuilt into a state-of-the-art spaceship factory, to turn out the ships that could eventually carry humans to Mars.
The 150 men and women who work at the O&C used to work on NASA's space shuttles. Now they're ready and eager to build that Mars ship. It is called Orion. Named for mythology's giant-size hunter, this Orion will hunt down new ports in our solar system. Its inaugural unmanned test flight is less than two years away.
Historically, NASA's spaceships have been built elsewhere and then transported cross-country to their launch site. But Lockheed Martin is taking a new approach for Orion's construction.
"You build and you test on-site, and you save time and money," said Glenn Chin, NASA's deputy manager for the Orion development effort. That's a big deal in the current political environment. During the Cold War, the cost of getting to the moon was of secondary concern. But today, NASA's ambitions have to fit within tight budgetary limits.
The current plan calls for NASA and its contractors to build Orion as well as a new heavy-lift launch vehicle called the Space Launch System, or SLS. The budget proposal for the next fiscal year sets aside $2.8 billion for those programs. If they are permitted to go forward, Orion and SLS will ensure America's continued leadership in space.
The gleaming-new Orion factory is expected to employ 190 by the end of the year, says Jim Kemp, Lockheed Martin's director of Orion assembly, testing and launch. By the time Orion makes it maiden flight in late 2013 or early 2014, 350 to 400 spaceflight veterans will be working in the Florida factory.
A beefy United Launch Alliance Delta 4 rocket is due to send the first Orion speeding away from Earth to a height of 5,000 miles. Then the craft would arc back to Earth at a velocity exceeding 20,000 mph. If the re-entry angle is too shallow, Orion could skip off Earth's atmosphere, like a rock skipping across the surface of a lake. This would doom a human crew to spend eternity moving through our galaxy. If the angle is too steep, the blazing re-entry would turn the ship and its crew into a handful of ashes.
Such danger-filled reentries were pioneered by the Apollo flights.
'Apollo 8's Return': An excerpt from 'Moon Shot'
Fifty-eight hours after leaving the moon, Earth used its gravity to drag Apollo 8 back into the atmosphere at 25,000 miles an hour. The fastest spacecraft ever then began a brief life as a man-made meteor. Temperatures soared to what could be found on the surface of a star. Plunging downward with their backs to their line of flight, the astronauts knew their existence now depended upon how well their ship had been built.
No one saw Apollo 8 hurtling through Earth's layers of protecting atmosphere. Only fire could be seen, intense, blinding white flames with an outer red sheath, a streamer of fire 125 miles long!
Apollo 8 traded off its tremendous speed for heat. The more fire flowing from the heat shield, the slower flew the spaceship. Then they were through the inferno of re-entry. Two miles above the Pacific Ocean, just before dawn, three large parachutes streamed away from the ship, opened partially for deceleration, then blossoming wide and full.
Back to the future
While Orion is readied for its inaugural flight, plans for its first manned mission to a near-Earth asteroid move ahead. That launch is now scheduled for 2024, with a crew of four spending up to a year in space. NASA sees near-Earth asteroids as steppingstones that will lead to Mars missions in the 2030s.
Can it be done in this economy? Certainly, if NASA spends its dollars on the tasks that Congress created the space agency to do: to explore, to break new ground, to give us more knowledge of our solar system and make us worthy custodians of Earth.
Stay tuned for humankind's first trek into deep space, coming in the not-too-distant future. In the grand scheme of things, the 12 years until that unprecedented asteroid mission represent a hardly noticeable tick of the universe's clock.

A dilemma has struck the publishing world this week. How do you make that little tail thingy on the C in Pierre Garçon's name? More importantly, if we can't figure it out does that make us worse than Paul Shirley?
In case you were wondering, the "thingy" is called a cedilla. It's a diacritical mark that modifies the pronunciation of a letter, like the umlaut or the accent grave. In French, it only exists as a variation on the letter C. French is one of the two official languages of Haiti. Haiti is where ... oh, right.
So if you want to talk about Pierre Garçon this week, you have a choice. Find the HTML code for a c-cedilla (it's ç for lowercase or #199 for upper) or simply refuse to bow to the vagaries of the French language and risk being seen as insensitive to the plight of Haitian refugees. Because when it comes to talking about Pierre Garçon this week, you have no choice. The pride of Mount Union set an AFC Championship Game record with 11 catches and since the departure of Marvin Harrison, has become a key cog in the prolific Indianapolis Colts offense.
Also, his parents came to the United States from Haiti and you can't talk about much of anything these days without mentioning the terrible earthquake that struck there. Garçon is not the only Haitian-American in the NFL or even in the Super Bowl. (The Saints' Pierre Thomas and Jonathan Vilma are in that club too.) But Garçon is the one who carried the Haitian flag to the podium after his big game against the Jets. His three older sisters were born there. And he has that cedilla in his name and on his jersey! Tough to ignore that.
The Saints have their own natural disaster angst that would naturally unite them with the plight of Haitians, but Garçon ensures that no one side has a monopoly on being the people's (of Haiti) champion. Every big play he makes raises awareness (and probably money) for his homeland and that's about the best that sports can do. Especially since the Super Bowl itself is the reason that refugees can't come to Florida right now. Sorry!
Try us next week, when we aren't so preoccupied with Hooters commercials.

On a positive note, we gathered at least 3 full bags of trash.
There are several who agree that there should be some dispute over the ticket. Take it to court or submit a dispute. You have at least 15 witnesses that said that the dogs were on the leash and well behaved. Granted at times the leash was not in your hand. Also those witnesses were picking up trash during the round and over 90 plus will be utilizing the park on Sunday. Just saying, there are legit reasons for cops to be employed giving tickets etc. Screwing with the people who use the park and care for it is not their purpose . . . at least give a warning.

Oct. 10 Bruce Bochy postgame interview
Q. The way Tim Lincecum pitched today, if you guys go on in the playoffs, would you consider him for a start at a later date?
BRUCE BOCHY: I think you have to. He stepped up and did a terrific job. He had a great look about him, good command and pretty nice long man to have in this game, which we needed.
It's good to see him throw the ball like this and he really came through for us. When you're on a stage like this you're hoping somebody steps up and Timmy has that ability and he did tonight for us.
He's been throwing a lot here. He came in and relieved three days ago, and to do what he did was impressive. So I think, yeah, we get to that point, sure, we'll talk about it.
Q. The way you use your relievers before Lincecum, is that partly because of where you were in the batting order?
BRUCE BOCHY: Yeah, yeah, it was; and, you know, ideally when you have a starter you like to start the inning with them. They don't have that experience of coming in with men on base, but you get to the point where I had to bring them in there and Mijares got a big out there, first and second.
I knew I would bring Timmy in if it was 2 outs with 2 guys on, so we made the double switch, and Timmy made some great pitches to get out of that jam. But Kontos did a great job. Mijares got a big out there for us. Bullpen did a great job. Zito worked hard. I thought he had decent stuff; he was missing pitches and his pitch count got up there a little bit, so I had no choice but to go get him.
Q. As a follow up on Lincecum, did you understand why he has not been pitching well and all of the sudden pitches well. Sometimes I think he over thinks and when he doesn't he just throws better, any theory on that?
BRUCE BOCHY: I think his last outing coming out of the bullpen, that had to give him a lot of confidence.
He's got unbelievable talent, and I know it's been an up and down year for him and I knew he was wanting to get out there. I knew he would play a huge role in this, and I know of other situations where starters having in the pen and really did a great job to help their team win.
We knew Timmy would play a critical role in the series like he did tonight. It's great to have I love a man like this who has the talent he does and part of it was Timmy buying into what we were doing and he said, "I just want to do anything I can to help the ball club win." So he had a great attitude about it and carried that into the game.
Q. Apologize if you answered this, but obviously great to see the offense going and Pablo hit the ball well.
BRUCE BOCHY: It really was great to see our offense pick it up. They have done a great job of shutting us down and top of the order did a great job, Blanco big hit, Sandoval and that's what it takes.
That's how, really, we've been playing from August until this point. Their pitching has done a great job, but today we threw out some quality at bats, and long ball, which we're not known for, that was big for us tonight, the home runs. It's always important when they score you answer back, and the club did a great job of doing that tonight.
Q. When you come in here down 2 0 and you win two games to tie how much does that change the mood?
BRUCE BOCHY: Well, you haven't done anything yet, but we had to get to this point. I'm proud of how the guys have fought and last night was a tough game, could have gone either way and your backs are against the wall, but they have done a great job of bouncing back and getting to tomorrow's game, which, you know, the only way that happens is win the first two. These guys have found a way to do that. We're excited about being in this position when you come in here 0 2, have to play in their ballpark.

Why does a local small company need to focus on internet marketing? Is that really the best way to get customers?

Hard times at Derecktor Shipyards, once Bridgeport's bright star
Bridgeport: Boating industry woes prompt Derecktor to consider temporary shutdown
A year after attracting national attention for the launch of one of the world's largest private yachts, Derecktor Shipyards said Monday it is considering a temporary shutdown of its Bridgeport operations.
"We're not planning on leaving Connecticut," said Paul Derecktor, president of Derecktor Shipyards. He cited a slowdown in the shipbuilding industry as the reason for the possible shutdown, which he said would be temporary.
Derecktor said the shipyard on Seaview Avenue is down to a staff of 20 to 25 who do maintenance work on ferries and other boats.
"It's tough times for us," he said, "There's no new construction and service is just barely enough."
A year ago, Derecktor delivered the Cakewalk V, a 281-foot private yacht, the largest built in the U.S. in more than 70 years. The value of the contract has never been revealed, but other shipping industry experts placed it at more than $200 million. As many as 225 people were employed during the build of the Cakewalk, but Derecktor said layoffs have occurred steadily since the boat was delivered in November. The company has employed more than 300 at the yard.
Derecktor said the issues at the Bridgeport shipyard are not tied to any litigation.
In 2008, Derecktor filed for bankruptcy protection as it worked on two major vessels at the same time and disagreements over the cost and time frame of the delivery ensued. All the cases associated with that filing closed officially in August, according to U.S. Bankruptcy Court records.
Derecktor's struggles represent a dramatic turnaround from recent times, when the shipyard's success was hailed as a harbinger of Bridgeport's possible economic resurgence. Andrew Nunn, the acting executive director of the Bridgeport Port Authority, said it is already lining up other potential tenants for the authority-owned site, called the Bridgeport Regional Maritime Complex.
"The BMRC will continue to operate as an active shipyard, despite Derecktor Shipyard's reported plan to file for bankruptcy," Nunn said in a statement released through Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch's office. "The BMRC is an important local, statewide and regional asset for the marine industry. We are pursuing a new plan with strong industry partners. We have active work on the site now -- Hornblower, a national maritime company, is building its first-of-a-kind hybrid ferry for use in New York City."
Hornblower operates a fleet of tourist cruise vessels on both coasts and awarded Derecktor the job of retrofitting Hornblower's Statue Cruise vessel last year. That vessel will use a variety of renewable fuels to take people to the Statue of Liberty and is already in the water awaiting sea trials.
Nunn also noted that over its 12-year history, Derecktor has received significant support from the state and city. He did not say whether Derecktor was current on its rent.
Paul Derecktor said the company is working with Malloy administration officials on whether there's anything the state can do to help the company financially. The Department of Economic and Community Development confirmed staff met with the company last week.
Maritime industry experts say U.S. boat building is foundering with a slack in demand and rise in expenses and global competition.
Ian McCurdy said boat building in the U.S. has been in decline for 20 years.
"We've seen production boat builders go from 40 to 10," he said.
The one area of demand growth has been in mega-yachts, like Cakewalk, he said. But global competition is fierce for these contracts.
On the smaller ship contracts, he said, the wider use of fiberglass has contributed to the reduction in demand, he said; "Fiberglass doesn't rot."
Smaller yards are making it by building one or two boats a year and doing service work, he said.
Paul Derecktor confirmed the company's Mamaroneck Yard in New York, which is smaller, is holding its own in this market.
Donald Frost, head of the maritime consulting firm D.B. Frost and Associates, said there's not a lot of support for boat and ship building in the U.S. right now, even from the defense industry, which has helped U.S. aerospace companies during the last decade.
He said Northrop Grumman's unloading of Newport News yard is an example of how hard it is in the business.
In a $2.6 billion deal, Northrop bought the Newport News Shipyard in 2001. This year, Northrop spun off the shipbuilder as Huntington Ingalls Industries, giving each Northrop stockholder one share in Huntington, for every six they owned in Northrop.
"Northrop did not make money on it," he said.
