The Praia Azul has a beautiful sandy beach where the tourists can enjoy a pleasant holiday moments. A beach of great natural beauty, where the sea is very restless and should only be bathed with great caution.
Praia de Agudela is a very popular beach in the Porto region. This beach is surrounded by dunes and crossed by wooden bridges. With many rocks that are exposed at low tide, this beach has a good support infrastructure and provides the ideal setting to spend the whole day at sea.
Previously known as Arenosa or Ladrões Beach, this area of sand became known as Memória Beach following the erection of a commemorative obelisk on the spot where liberal troops led by Pedro 4th (1st Emperor of Brazil) disembarked in 1832 in order to expel his absolutist brother, Miguel from the Portuguese throne.
The beach "Praia Quebrada" lies in a small bay, protected by dunes. The wide beach with many rocks while swimming requires increased attention, because the sea has strong currents here. The small fishermen's houses in the vicinity give this beach a picturesque touch.
Surrounded by rocks, small and wind-protected beach "Praia da Senhora" is ideal for windy days.

LG F7200 cell phone review by About.com
About.com has a review of LG F7200 cell phone. They tested it and were disappointed. Although the phone is ultra light and has good ergonomics, the things that make a cell phone a cell phone, were sub par:
How would you feel if you bought a brand new car and everything was great but the engine was sluggish and, fuel consumption terrible… That's about how I felt with the LG F7200… Battery life always feels insufficient, the earpiece's sound is not loud enough and though the speakerphone's output volume is ok, people on the other end always complained that the sound was screaming and uncomfortable.

Welcome to BB7 All-stars, episode six. We start out with a recap. The houseguests are moaning that slop sucks. Kaysar is seen striking a deal will Chill Town. Diane is crushed by the nominations. Wed better break out the tissues for her
.it may be a long night. We view the nominees vying for the Veto and failing big time. Everyone except for Erica seems to have never played golf before. She wins the power of veto easily.
The big questions of the night......who will go home? Who will be the next HOH? Or even better will Julie Chen mess up another HOH comp by not figuring out who actually won?
Speaking of the Chenbot, here she is smiling and telling us it is Day 18 in the house (gosh, time flies when youre having fun!) and she is discussing some unlikely allies that have arisen in the house. Unlikely if you didnt expect Howie and Chicken George to hit it off. Personally I think they are the only ones in the house with the same IQ score, so I am not surprised at all to learn CG is now a Jedi in training. The other unlikely pair is Marcellas and Danielle who seem to have bonded over the treachery of the slop they have had to endure this week. Again I figured they would become friends again, once inside for more than a few days. They just had to pretend to hate each other for a few days first.
We then see both Diane and Nakomis vow to not campaign against each other. Yet that is exactly what both of them will end up doing. These girls just didnt want to openly vie for votes.
Next we jump to Janie and Marcellas in the tub together. Marcellas is telling Janelle that he controls Diane. (WTF?) Damn, this guy is absolutely delusional. Janie ignores his comment and tells him that the longer she is around (meaning Janelle), the longer he will be around. (Which is probably pretty true.) Who else will watch out for him? She convinces him that the rest of the house already knows he is the 5th wheel in the S4 alliance. Marcellas says he just doesnt want to be left in the house with all the men (funny to hear this coming from a gay guy!) and then he fantasizes about himself and Janelle making it to the final two and how glamorous it would be. Yes, that is what America wants
a glamorous final two, who cares how undeserving they may be. Marcellas never fails to amaze me. I cant wait till his giant screw-up this year! What will he do thats even worse than not using the golden veto to take himself off the block? I quiver with anticipation! We all know its coming
its just a matter of time.
We then observe Diane with Chill Town. Diane is telling them she will go balls to the walls against the BB6ers if they keep her around. Yes, balls to the walls is her exact description. I couldnt make this stuff up if I tried. Gosh, that Diane is one classy girl. I still dont understand why Drew dumped her?
Nak is making a plea to BB6ers in the HOH room to align with them and go after Chill Town. Kaysar says he will work to keep Nakomis in the house. He claims to have Ericas vote and says he will work on getting Marcellass.
We are now Live, and Chicken George is covered in aluminum foil. (WTF?) Yes, covered from head to toe in aluminum foil. And, we are to be shocked that no one in the house will hang out with him besides Howie?! Chicken George, after being questioned by Julie about his Jedi training tells Julie the Force is with you too. She should now be able to sleep well tonight.
Julie next talks to Marcellas and asks him about his week eating slop. He claims he has eaten nothing all week and by all means should be wasting away this very minute. She then hops over to Diane and asks why she has been bawling so much this time around. Diane claims to have laughed, cried and even broke out in hives this week. Trying to cover up the fact that yes, indeed, she is a huge crybaby.
Julie jumps over to Howie and attempts to discover more about his crush on Dr. Will and if hell ever consider getting botox treatments. Way to ask those really important questions, Julie! We find out that Howie would trust Will to work on his forehead because itll be cheap. Howie now makes me realize he is even dumber than I have been imagining this whole time. Note to self, stop giving Howie any credit for good ideas that may magically spring from his mind from time to time.
Julie now informs us that Kaysar is Muslim and wonders how that may affect his life inside the house. She then tells us that neither of the nominees or the current HOH can vote someone out. So, lets cut to some people who are allowed to vote. We see Dani calling Diane a fighter while voting in the diary room. Howie says he knows Diane is going after the BB6ers. Boogie says he wants to get in Dianes pants so votes to keep her around.
Back from the commercials, Julie is discussing Kaysars beliefs. We witness Kaysar praying in the house, and see the Rihda household. His family is excited he has another chance in the BB household. His sister gives us her thoughts on her brother. She says being in the house surrounded by boobs and alcohol is no different than the outside world, which I have to admit seems logical. We are shown clips of Erica throwing herself at Kaysar as his sister, Dalia, says Muslims dont date (slutty girls like Erica, seemed to be what she was really implying). And while his sister seemed sweet, I will have to say that Kaysar appears to have gotten all the good looks in the family. (although its hard to tell when someone is covered from head to toe if they are really a looker or not).
We now visit Kaysar in the HOH room as Julie attempts to interview him. She asks him about his nominations and if he views them as weak. Kaysar of course defends his nominations by explaining Diane and Nakomis are strong players and shouldnt be allowed to float to the end. He said he didnt want to use the same strategy he did as last time by taking out the head honchos so early. (his words, not mine). Julie then asks why Kaysar didnt nominate Will when he so generously offered himself to be placed on the chopping block if the veto was used. Kaysar said he knew it was all a ploy. Kaysar is once again allowed freedom from the Chenbot and can join the others.
Julie then makes reference to the Mr., and Mrs. Smith alliance in the house. Explaining that Diane and Jase may be in a secret alliance that the house has termed Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
After alluding to this we spot Will in the DR reflecting on whom he should vote out. Chicken George says Diane came to him for a vote and that Nakomis never did, so after stating that he even though he knows he shouldnt vote based on personal feelings, that is exactly what he is doing. Erica makes the observation that Diane reminds her of Alison. Before we go to commercial again, were shown Will voting to evict Diane. He looks quite smug and proud of himself. Wait, this is Will Im talking about
..he always looks that way. Correction
..Will comes across as even more smug and proud of himself than normal.
Back from commercial break we hear Julie conversing about the Mr. and Mrs. Smith theory. Are Jase and Diane working together in a secret alliance? Danielle says she knows they have a secret pact with one another
..heck, she should know, shes the queen of the secret alliance. From there we are shown a weird version of the game telephone, where Marcellas tells Erica about the secret alliance, then Erica tells Janelle she knows its true, until finally Boogie is shown confronting Jase about the fact. Jase denies, denies, denies. But his act is not too convincing to Janelle who is right there observing. She says Jase got nervous and is lying. Janelle and James later ask Jase in the HOH room whom hed like to evict and he tells them Nakomis is a better game player. This convinces them further of his secret alliance with Diane.
We are shown a quick segment of Jase in DR saying it may or may not be true. Then a quick blurb of he and Diane in a room together with her hiding behind a bed as Jase walks out, yelling to him to pretend to hate her. Personally I believe the Mr/Mrs Smith alliance has been officially confirmed.
Next we see Janie in the DR saying she wants to keep Nak around. Jase in the DR says he doesnt think Nakomis is as great a player as everyone makes her out to be, and then Marcellas is shown saying he doesnt believe either Diane or Nakomis should have been nominated this week. We are left with Janie voting to evict Diane. She also takes this opportunity to explain to Diane that crying to stay, because you need the money is not really appropriate since Big Brother is not a charity, its a game show. (So be entertaining for Gods sake Diane not a bawling idiot!!)
While Janie votes to evict Diane we are now shown James voting to evict Nakomis because it is in his and Howies best interest. I guess we now know how Howie voted.
Back from commercial Julie is explaining to us that either Diane or Nakomis will be voted out. Thanks for the news flash, Julie! Although both girls made it to the final four in their season one will leave tonight. In a vote of 8 - 2 Nakomis has been voted out.
We see Boogie wearing a giant, black afro wig that Marcellas wore earlier in the tapings. Everyone hugs Nakomis and there are many sentiments of cool beans floating in the air.
Oddly enough, this is the one time Diane does NOT cry, when her close friend is abruptly evicted. Although she does realize her crying stint has now been revealed to the entire viewing audience. This realization brings me much joy!
There is lots of milling around that takes place while we wait for Julie to interview Nakomis. She asks Nakomis if she was blindsided by her nomination, and if she really had her head in the game or not. Nak tells her that yes, she did have her head in the game but lots of people were afraid of her. Julie asks her if she meant to fly under the radar or not. (Geez, since shes the second one voted out, I dont think she managed to fly under the radar too well if that was her strategy there, Julie!) But Nakomis, instead of smacking Julie, answers that no that was not her strategy, its just with so many big heads, I mean big personalities in the house, she just naturally took a back seat to them.
Julie then asks her what she thinks about Kaysars nominations. To which Nakomis of course replies that she thought they were stupid and he should have nominated Chill Town instead. No big shock here.
Without the typical goodbye videos (poor Nakomis) we are then shown Julie telling the remaining houseguests that the next HOH competition is entitled Pay Attention. All about paying attention to details. As she explains this competition to the houseguests we are shown their reaction. Most are smiling, but comically enough, Diane looks horrified. I think she realizes she is not the most observant person ever.
We go to commercial with Julie telling us that this will be one of the most challenging HOH competitions ever. Have I switched and started watching the Bachelor again? I half expect her to say it will be the most exciting rose ceremony ever
Back from commercial and we see that Nak will be on House Calls tomorrow. Julie welcomes us all back. She explains Kaysar can not compete since he is the outgoing HOH. All the hgs are now in the backyard waiting to start.
So here we go, question #1 What did the sign say in the meteor competition behind Diane when Will was knocked down? BB All-Stars or HOH? The answer is B. HOH. Chicken George and Howie are knocked out already. Somehow this doesnt surprise me.
Question #2, in the competition falling stars how many points were on the stars, seven or five? The correct answer is seven and Erica, Jase, Diane, Boogie and Will are all knocked out.
Question #3, What color was the bucket that dumped sludge on Janelle, red or blue? The answer is blue and Marcellas is now out.
Question #4, When Chicken George searched the dump for vetos was there a devil duck or a gnome on his hockey stick? Answer is a gnome and they all get it right. Janelle, James and Danielle all remain.
Question #5, When Boogie fell off his pedestal how many people remaining were topless? Three or four? Correct answer is three and Janelle is out. Which is good since it took her a VERY long time to answer. Oh, how the people would have cried conspiracy theory if she had won!
Question #6, both James and Danielle get correct so we go to a tiebreaker.
Tiebreaker how many seconds did it take Janelle to win the veto competition? James answers 421, Danielle answers 480. Since the correct answer was 300 some odd seconds, James is now the new HOH. And Howie goes sprinting over to him to congratulate him immediately. What a jacka**! This guy never learns!
We are left with Julie asking who James will nominate and having us eavesdrop on the houseguests. Who will James nominate? My guess is Chill Town, but maybe hell do something unexpected. Tune in next time to find out or just read the live feeds and go have some fun Sunday night.

Twenty Five Thousand Dollars Ransom For A Child
( Originally Published Early 1900's )
THERE was great excitement in the city of Omaha, one winter night when it was learned that the son of a rich man had been kidnapped. A young son of Cudahy was sent from his father's house after supper on an errand. He failed to return; and the most diligent search did not serve to reveal his whereabouts. It seems that he was in front of General Corwin's house, just across the street from his own home, on his way back from a near-by residence, when two men, coming up to him, said : " We are sheriffs from Sarpy County, and arrest you as Eddie McGee, who escaped from the reform school." The little fellow protested, insisting that they had gotten the wrong boy, but they told him he would have to be identified. They lifted him into a buggy, and as they drove along, a trolley-car passed them. The lad said: " I know that conductor, he will tell you I am not the boy you are looking for." They tied a bandage over his eyes, and drove the horse quite rapidly. Reaching a house about five miles away, they placed young Cudahy in a room, and chained him to the floor. He remained there all night and the next day; his hands and feet were chained. From the conversation he learned that the gang consisted of six men; that they had been trying hard for four months to kidnap one of the Cudahy girls, but, failing in their attempt, they captured the boy. The agony of the Cudahy family can be imagined. There came through the mail, the following letter:
" OMAHA, NEB., December 19, 1900.
" MR. CUDAHY : We have kidnapped your child and demand $25,000 (twenty-five thousand dollars) for his safe return. If you give us the money the child will be returned as safe as when you last saw him, but if you refuse we will put acid in his eyes and blind him, then we will immediately kidnap another millionaire's child that we have spotted and demand $100,000; and we will get it, for he will see the condition of your child, and realize the fact that we mean business, and will not be monkeyed with or captured. Get the money all in gold five, ten and twenty dollar pieces ; put it in a white wheat sack ; get in your buggy alone on the night of December 19 at 7 o'clock P. M. and drive south from your house to Centre street, turn west in Centre and drive back to Ruser's Park and follow the paved road toward Fremont.
" When you come to a lantern that is lighted by the side of the road, place the money by the lantern and immediately turn your horse around and return home.
" You will know our lantern, for it will have two ribbons, black and white, tied on the handle. You must place a red lantern on your buggy where it can be plainly seen, so we will know you a mile away. This letter and every part of it must be returned with the money, and any attempt at capture will be the saddest thing you ever done. If you remember, some twenty years ago, `Charley' Ross was kidnapped in New York City and $2o,000 ransom asked. Old man Ross was willing to give up the money, but Byrnes, the great detective, with others, persuaded the old man not to give up the money, assuring him that the thieves would be captured. Ross died of a broken heart, sorry that he al-lowed the detectives to dictate to him.
" This letter must not be seen by any one but you. If the police or some stranger knew its contents they might attempt to capture us, although against your wish, or some one might use a lantern and represent us, thus the wrong party securing the money, and this would be as fatal to you as if you refused to give up the money. So you see the danger if you let this letter be seen."
Impelled by the strain under which the family was laboring, the father decided to give up the money and get back his son. He hated to seem to put a premium upon such a foul crime, but he was afraid the men would make good their threat, and he surrendered to their demands. He took twenty-five thou-sand dollars in gold, in a white wheat sack, and drove in a light buggy to the place the captors had indicated. He put the sack down by the stick which had the white light, then, without seeing or speaking to a single person, he returned to his home. Close by the place where Mr. Cudahy left the gold, the river approaches the road. It is supposed the men saw the red light of the father's buggy from a boat on the river ; it is likely that they came up the bank, secured the ransom and left no footprints to tell any tales. When they had secured the money, they sent the boy in a cab back to the neighborhood of his father's house, which he reached at about one o'clock in the morning.
Some people criticize Mr. Cudahy for not flatly refusing to pay the ransom ; for not daring the villains do their worst ; and for not using the in-formation which they were bold enough to furnish him, for their detection and punishment. But it is likely that the average father would have surrendered money quickly enough to save his boy's eyes.
The whole nation was stirred upon the subject of the kidnapped boy, and yet there are thousands and tens of thousands of boys and young men who are kidnapped every night, and little or no attention is paid to the foul robbery. The saloons, gambling-dens and brothels are abducting them from the home and hearts of loved ones, and chaining them, hands and feet, putting out the eyes of their conscience, bringing misery to their families, and wretchedness and ruin to themselves. It is high time that Christians were aroused to the necessity of rescuing the youths from the kidnappers that infest every community.


text: I would like to have seen Jillian deal with Bonnie. Talk about great ratings. Bonnie reminds me of the person who complains about everything. She seems to never be happy therefore no one else is allowed to be happy. She is a 63 year old woman acting like a 12 year old. As long as she is winning, then life is good, but once things do not go her way watch out. I would bet money this is exactly how she is at home. I would like to see the teams shook up and let one of the other trainers have her for a change and see if she is still complaining or rather watch her still complain.

Reviewing the facts and law is so passe. The New Editor explains how it will be done in the Sotomayor era.
Bill Smith
I'm considering some orthopedic surgery, and have been torn between choosing a Latina Radiologist to read my X-rays, and a white guy.
Which one should I choose?
Well…you're not female, so you should choose the guy. Unless you're Latino. Then of course, the gender takes precedence. You're undoubtedly macho, so she'll tell you what you want to hear.
Charles Martel
Everybody knows that Latin skin is warmer, and more nurturing and accepting of X-rays, while white skin tends to oppress them or prevent them from attaining their goals.
If you're white, a white radiologist knows how to whisper the right stuff to white skin and coax it into letting the X-rays do their jobs—kind of like a savvy floor steward does in a UAW shop. A Latina radiologist simply would not be able to handle the emotional stress of dealing with a skin color that has a completely different background, culture and set of experiences than her own.
>>Then of course, the gender takes precedence.>>
Oh blagh! Should be "Then of course, the "race" takes precedence."
Although I really have a problem with hispanic, latino etc being considered "race". To me, "race" in humans equates to "breeds" in animals, and requires a higher coefficient of homozygosity due to closer breeding than in the general population. I don't think hispanic or latino fits that description.
However, never let a little thing like facts get in the way of a perfectly good insult.
Charles Martel
Years ago I remember watching some earnest PBS type ask a young black Puerto Rican man if he identified with blacks. The kid said, "What do you mean? I'm Puerto Rican. That's what I identify with."
The PBS guy was genuinely befuddled. Here was a black kid who had not only left the plantation but didn't even believe it exists. How dare he let his culture pre-empt his oh-so-important skin color!
I bring this up because I agree, suek, that "Hispanic" and "Latino" are racist terms because they totally ignore the vast ethnic range that the terms really embrace—everything from pasty white Galicians to black Puerto Ricans to olive-complected Argentinians to brown Guatemalans to pink Mexicans whose ancestors came from Germany.
That's where the left is so lost. It thinks that skin color alone provides identity and authenticity when it's really your culture that gives you those things. Of course the fact that some cultures are clearly superior to others is the one fact that racists on the left do everything in their power to not be disseminated.
Long article, but interesting.

The Orioles were working last night to set up closer Grant Balfour's physical for today in Baltimore.
Two seasons ago, the Orioles bullpen was the strength of a team that snapped a string of 14 straight losing campaigns. The club finally made the playoffs, and most of the credit could be found beyond the outfield fences - spitting sunflower shells, chewing bubble gum and waiting for the phone to ring.
The group wasn't quite as dependable in 2013, though abbreviated starts from the rotation placed more of a burden on it.
I'll assume that most fans like how the bullpen is shaping up for next season.
Balfour has saved 62 games in his last 67 chances over two seasons. The Orioles got him for $15 million in a two-year deal (with $500,000 deferred over the next two seasons). Jim Johnson would have cost between $10-$11 million in 2014, and he was likely gone as a free agent next winter, since the Orioles clearly had their limits in spending on a closer.
An early projection of the bullpen includes Balfour, right-handers Tommy Hunter, Darren O'Day and Ryan Webb, and left-handers Brian Matusz and Troy Patton. Matusz will get another shot at re-entering the rotation, but his chances of cracking it grow slimmer if the Orioles sign a starter.
The Orioles need Matusz, O'Day and Hunter to improve their splits, and new pitching coach Dave Wallace and bullpen coach Dom Chiti will work with them in an attempt to make it happen. Having O'Day healthy again may eliminate the problem.
One spot remains for a long reliever/swingman, and candidates include left-handers Zach Britton and T.J. McFarland, and right-handers Josh Stinson and Steve Johnson.
Britton and Stinson are out of options, which either improves their chances of making the team or could send them packing in a trade. Britton will compete for a rotation spot, and he's got a decent chance if he has a strong spring and the Orioles don't sign another starter.
McFarland is more likely to start for Triple-A Norfolk next season, but that's not set in stone. The Orioles sent him to Venezuela so he could work out of the rotation. They want to take a look at him in that role.
Kevin Gausman will compete for a spot on the staff, either as a starter or long reliever, but the Orioles would rather have him pitching every five days for Norfolk than sitting in the bullpen.
Let's not forget right-hander Brad Brach, acquired from the Padres for minor league pitcher Devin Jones. In three major league seasons, Brach has gone 3-6 with a 3.70 ERA in 109 relief appearances and averaged 10.1 strikeouts per nine innings. But he's got an option remaining and may get squeezed out of the picture in Baltimore.
The way pitchers shuttle back and forth between the Orioles and Tides, he's likely to get the call at some point.
The 40-man roster also includes right-hander Edgmer Escalona and lefties Mike Belfiore, Kelvin De La Cruz and Chris Jones.
It's possible that another spot opens up if executive vice president Dan Duquette includes a reliever in a trade. The Orioles still want to add a starter and a left-handed bat or two. Who's playing left field? Who's leading off? Who's a part-time or full-time DH? And we only know of the in-house candidates at second base.
Anyway, yesterday brought the first really significant signing - pending a physical - since the offseason got under way. As for Duquette's plan to reallocate resources, the Orioles have Balfour, Webb and Jemile Weeks for less than Johnson's projected arbitration number for 2014.
The Orioles didn't get a chance to add $2 million and match the Yankees' offer to Brian Roberts. As I tweeted yesterday, I've heard that the Orioles weren't given the opportunity to counter New York's proposal.
Duquette spoke to Roberts' agent last week and found out with the rest of us that the veteran second baseman had agreed to terms with the Yankees.
Guess it was time for a change. As I speculated yesterday, Roberts probably felt that the Yankees gave him a better chance to appear in his first postseason. He cleaned out his locker after the final game on Sept. 29, giving the impression that he wasn't coming back.
Roberts hasn't returned my calls and text messages, which is fairly typical. He's never been the most accessible player on the team. Quite the opposite.

A judge has dismissed a challenge to the ballot language describing three proposed amendments to the Pierce County charter.
Sherry Bockwinkel, a term-limit supporter, and Kelly Haughton, a supporter of ranked choice voting, claimed the language of the amendments was inappropriate. But Pierce County Superior Court Judge Ronald Culpepper did not rule on their claims.
Instead, Culpepper found the pair had failed to meet a deadline for challenging the ballot language. And while he suggested county policies for alerting people to the deadline might be lacking, he found the county had followed the letter of state law.
County voters will consider three amendments to the county charter in November:
&bull Proposition 1 would move the election of the county executive and council to odd-numbered years by 2015 and increase term limits for those offices from two consecutive four-year terms to three consecutive four-year terms.
&bull Proposition 2 would move the election of auditor, assessor-treasurer and sheriff to odd-numbered years by 2015.
&bull Proposition would eliminate ranked choice voting and restore the primary and general election system for all county elected offices.
Bockwinkel will help write the voters pamphlet statement against Proposition 1. Haughton will help write the statement against Proposition 3.
They claimed the language describing those measures that will appear on the ballot is faulty on two counts.
First, they noted that each amendment asks voters to "approve" or "reject" the amendments. They said that's a departure from the language used on other recent charter amendments, which used "yes" or "no" language. They said the change in language may confuse voters.
Second, they argued the language of Proposition 1 is prejudicial. It states the proposal would make term limits for executive and council "consistent with term limits in effect for auditor, assessor-treasurer and sheriff." The plaintiffs argued the phrase constitutes an argument in favor of the proposal.
Culpepper didn't rule on the merits of those claims. Instead, he found the pair had failed to challenge the ballot language within the 10-day time frame allowed to challenge it.
Attorney Richard Shepard argued the county auditor's office had failed to inform the public about the deadline. But while Culpepper acknowledged the auditor's office could have done a better job of informing the public, he ruled that under state law the office was only required to notify the County Council – which proposed the charter amendments – and other county officials.
After the ruling, Haughton expressed frustration that his underlying claims about faulty ballot language were not addressed.
He said county official are "using procedural methods to protect a prejudicial ballot title. That's bad public policy."
Haughton said he and Bockwinkel are unlikely to appeal the judge's decision.

20. December 2012–
The quest for world-changing projects takes venture capitalists to some strange and exciting places – personal robotics, commercial space flight... and now, quantum technology. Will it fly?
Quantum Wave Fund is a new VC firm dedicated to quantum technology. That's the industry that uses – or hopes to use – research at atomic and subatomic level to create new, practical devices and processes.
The firm, headquartered in Boston, has so far managed to raise $40million for its first fund. It hopes to close it at $100m.
There are some solid links here, including to Harvard University. Yet the firm's catchphrase – "riding the wave of quantum technology revolution" – seems premature. Quantum technology is not widespread. The internet is littered with dodgy-sounding products. The science is complex, and the holy grail – commercial, industrial-scale quantum computing – is still out of reach.
One of the business brains behind Quantum Wave Fund is Serguei Beloussov (above), the founder of software companies Parallels and Acronis and a senior partner at Moscow- and Berlin-based VC Runa Capital. Here, he justifies his latest venture:
Where did this idea come from? When did you first talk about setting up the fund?
I graduated from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, which was a top school in the Soviet Union for physics and technology... Two of my classmates are now professors at Harvard – Eugene Demler and Mikhail Lukin.
I kept contact with these guys over the years... I got involved in business after graduating but I stayed interested in physics. About three years ago, I got involved in the creation of the Russian Quantum Centre. After that, I also got involved with the Singapore Quantum Centre...
While establishing the Russian Quantum Centre, I went and looked at a number of tech centres for quantum information processing, all over the world. In Europe, in Asia, in the US, in Canada. I realised that this is a very, very interesting field.
It's a very hard field. There is a lot of expertise needed... But it's a very valid field because the technologies are very advanced. This is technology that can really change the world.
We've actually been working on Quantum Wave Fund for almost a year already. Now it has an office, there is a formal deal. We've already done several investments.
Which quantum technology do you consider the easiest to commercialise, the most likely to be a commercial success?
In general, there are three areas of quantum technologies. Area number one is quantum computing... There are not many commercial companies in this field. There's only one company shipping something, which is D-Wave and there's a lot of controversy about what they ship. It's a Canadian company.
The next area, which already has a number of technologies shipping, is quantum security, cryptography and communications. There are already a lot of companies here, like MagiQ; companies like NAC and Toshiba… So that's more a near-term area.
The last area is quantum sensors. In the past 20 years, physicists have learned how to manipulate matter at the scale of a single atom or single photon. That's a very powerful metric. Magnetic fields, electric fields, gravitational fields, acceleration, time, distance – all can be measured precisely with the help of quantum effects. So, that's an area where we'll also be doing a lot of investments, and where we see a lot of practical applications today. There are small-scale atomic clocks, for example; there is a company in the US called Symmetricom.
Do you have any measures for the value of the quantum industry right now, what is currently being shipped?
No, but we're talking about the low hundreds of millions of dollars. It's quite small but quantum tech is what underlies the physical reality of the world. It's the smallest scale effect known to mankind today. So, it's capable of making the smallest and most importantly the fastest devices... It's going to be a huge industry.
There's some scepticism about whether quantum is a buzzword, just used to get media attention. What do you say to that?
Quantum theory is almost 100 years old. The difference, which really happened in the last 20 years and mostly in the last 10 years, is physicists have learned how to manipulate matter on the scale of single quantum mechanics. The articles about this are quite new; some of the most famous articles are 10, 15 years old. The Nobel Prize this year was awarded to Serge Haroche – he's a physicist – for research he did about 10 years ago, maybe 15 years ago...
So, it's not a buzzword. It's exactly what we're trying to accomplish. We're trying to bet on devices that will do computation, communication or measurement based on single quantum effects. We naturally believe this is possible, knowing what's happening in physics and knowing what's happening in the industry. We're sure that when – and if – it's possible at industrial scale, it'll be the best way to do things.
One thing, which is quite important. We only invest in companies that already ship devices. [And] in order to do due diligence, you will have to involve a professor at Harvard in experimental physics – to understand the science behind the devices, to understand the market, the applications where they can be used and so on.
How are you going to convince institutional investors to back Quantum Wave, devices that are not in widespread use?
First, we already have close to $40m in the fund. Second, $100m is not that much money in this field. If you look at what funds in internet are raising, it's billions of dollars globally. So $100m is really tiny and we've already raised 40 per cent of it.
Third, we're not betting on institutional investors. We would welcome them but we believe this is a long-term plan, that the world will change... This is the first fund and we're inviting whoever will join to this fund, whether institutional or private investors. At the very least, they can look at what we do now and invest in a fund II or a fund III.
Fourth answer: while it looks space-age, it's not really that space-age. Investors that know the field can kind of grasp, after some explanation, that the field is valid. There are very few teams that invest in this field that are capable of doing due diligence, capable of helping the companies... If anybody wants to invest in quantum tech, we're the best place to go. We think we will have no trouble raising a fund of $100m.

Roma President Rosella Sensi has thanked Claudio Ranieri for his contribution to the club in the last 18 months.
Ranieri tendered his resignation last night and agreed to wrap up his contract after talks this morning.
Roma have since announced the appointment of Vincenzo Montella on an interim basis.
"I wish to thank Ranieri again for the work he did in these past two years with professionalism, dedication and the skills that brought me to choose him as the man to lead Roma in a delicate situation," Sensi wrote.
"No one can erase the emotions that he gave us like those we experienced over an incredible season, that of our comeback against Inter last year, the derbies we won. He gave all the fans and my family extraordinary moments that will remain in Roma's history.
"The decision to leave Roma cannot but honour the man and I can imagine how hard it was.
"He is Roman and a fan of our colours. I wish the man and the Coach a dazzling future and all the success that he deserves."

Define scopes for searches (Office SharePoint Server)
Updated: February 26, 2010
Applies To: Office SharePoint Server 2007
This Office product will reach end of support on October 10, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see , Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.
Topic Last Modified: 2010-02-22
Scopes refine search on particular locations or content. For example, a query on the This Site scope (if available) focuses the search on the current site and its subsites. Default scopes, such as All Sites, are shared among all end-user site collections.
A site collection administrator can copy a default scope, modify that copy, and subsequently add more scopes for use within the site collection. A site collection administrator creates groups that display scopes and arranges scopes within them. As a result, site owners can apply the groups to modify instances of the scope list on their pages.
|By default, the scopes picker on the Advanced Search page is hidden. However, an administrator with permission to edit the Advanced Search page can choose to modify the Advanced Search Web part to display its list and assign a display group to populate it with scopes.
In this article:
An administrator defines scopes so that users can focus their searches on particular locations and content. When defining a scope, you can combine location rules with property rules to limit searches as desired. For example, a scope can direct a query to particular sites, or to documents marked with particular property values.
|Property values are available to searches by using the managed properties feature to which certain content properties are mapped. A drop-down list of the managed properties that can be used in scopes appears in the Property Query section of the Create Scope page and the Edit Scope page. See the following section Adding or editing scope rules later in this topic.
|The first procedure illustrates how to display the View Scopes page. Use this as a reference when completing subsequent procedures that begin on the View Scopes page.
The procedure that displays the View Scopes page varies depending on whether the Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers is installedDisplay the View Scopes page
Complete one of the following steps depending on the status of your installation.
If the Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers is installed, in Central Administration, on the Quick Launch, in the Shared Services Administration group, click a shared service.
On the Shared Services Administration page, in the Search section, click Search Administration.
On the Quick Launch, in the Queries and Results section, click Scopes.
The View Scopes page appears.
If the Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers is not installed, log on to the home page for the top-level site in the site collection.
Note: Membership in Site Owner or Site Administrator roles is the minimum required to complete this procedure.
On the Central Administration page, click a shared service.
In the Search section, click Search settings.
On the Search Settings page, in the Scopes section, click View scopes.
The View Scopes page appears.
To define a new scope, click New Scope, and then follow the steps in the next section, Defining or editing a scope.
To edit the rules for an existing scope, click the Add rules link when it appears under Update Status, and then follow the steps in the later section Adding or editing scope rules.
To define a custom display group and arrange scopes within it, click New Display Group, and then follow the steps in the later section Configuring scope display groups.
Scopes make it possible to focus searches on particular locations or materials. An administrator with site collection administrator permissions can copy a default scope, modify the copy, and add scopes for use within the site collection.
When adding a custom scope to a site collection, it can be helpful to begin by copying a default scope such as All Sites, and then add rules that specify locations, content types, or property values. By combining and adjusting multiple rules, the administrator can design scopes that provide focused searches tailored to the needs of particular work groups.Define or edit a scope
On the View Scopes page, click New Scope to display the Create Scope page.
Or click the name of an existing scope to display the Scope Properties and Rules page, and then click Change scope settings to display the Edit Scope page.
In the Title box, type a word, name, acronym, or short phrase to display in the Scopes list.
In the Description box, explain the purpose of the scope. This is an optional description, for your reference, and does not display to end users.
In the Target Results Page section, choose whether to display the results from searches of this scope on the default search results page or a different Web page. To use a different search results page, select Specify a different page for searching this scope, and type the Web address (URL) for another existing results page in the Target results page box. (For example, http://site/subsite/folder/CustomResultsPage.aspx).
Click OK to save the scope and return to the View Scopes page.
On the View Scopes page, point to the name of a scope, click the arrow that appears, and then click Edit Properties and Rules to display the Scope Properties and Rules page.
In the Rules section, click an existing rule to edit that rule or click New rule to display the Edit Scope Rule page and create a new rule.
In the Scope Rule Type section of the chosen page, choose a type of rule.
The choices are Web Address, Property Query, Content Source, or All Content.
To include or exclude a location, choose Web Address, and type a location in one of the boxes. (To apply rules to multiple locations, define a separate rule for each location.)
If you type a path in the Folder box (for example, http://site/subsite/folder), the rule applies only to items located within the folder indicated and its subfolders.
If you type a host name in the Hostname box, the rule applies to items located anywhere on that host.
If you type a domain name in the Domain or subdomain box (for example, widgets.msn.com), the rule applies to all items located within that domain.
To include or exclude content found by searching on a value assigned to a managed property, choose Property Query. Select a property, and then enter a value. (To apply rules to multiple properties or values, define a separate rule for each property setting.)
To make additional managed properties available for use in scopes, navigate to the managed properties list, and then select Allow this property to be used in scopes for the desired managed properties. To navigate to the managed properties list, go to the Search Administration page, and, under Queries and Results, click Metadata properties.
To create a scope that includes anything that is crawled by the content source called Local Office SharePoint Server sites, under Scope Rule Type choose Content Source, and under Content Source select Local Office SharePoint Server sites.
To apply a rule to all content from all sites included in the search index, choose All Content.
Select a Behavior to choose how this rule combines with other rules to define the scope. Choose Include for an "OR" rule, or Exclude for an "AND NOT" rule, or Require for an "AND" rule, and click OK to apply the rule.
For example, if you apply include rules named I1 and I2, require rules named R1 and R2, and exclude rules named E1 and E2, the resulting scope equals the following:
(I1 OR I2) AND R1 AND R2 AND (NOT E1) and (NOT E2)
|Search scopes and their rules are compiled on a schedule that is adjusted automatically based on the frequency of past updates. The search services administrator can also set scope updates to occur manually. A new scope does not appear in a Search Box scope list until after its first compilation.
On the View Scopes page, point to the name of the scope, expand the menu that appears, and then click Delete.
When you are prompted, click OK.
On the View Scopes page, point to the name of a scope, expand the menu that appears, and then click Edit Properties and Rules. This displays the Scope Properties and Rules page.

The question — Which movies have affected you for the worse? — is a more difficult question than which movies affected us for the better. 1) Most movies don't affect us for the worse. 2) Movies probably do affect us for the worse, but in a cumulative sense — 100 or 1000 movies telling us the same awful things will affect us, but we won't see it. We'll just see the awfulness as the landscape of our reality; 3) If you've been morally damaged by a movie, or movies, you will not know it, so you will not be able to recognize it within yourself.
So . . . a big thanks to those who gave this some thought and, if you can think of any in your experience, tell me and I'll put it in.
And, for your convenience, below is last week's gallery of movies that affected us for the better. If you can think of more of those — the more the merrier — I'll put them in, too.

Two sides of the same coin - with their Príncipe debut Photonz deliver a personalized & 100% contemporary take on their pre-teen infatuation with the rave scene that they could not follow properly in its heyday (both Marco and Miguel being underage at the time).
One track each side, and both cuts are the longest Photonz have ever released. "WEO" buzzes like electric current, with wild shouting giving the track its marching orders, and those are "thou shalt groove and bounce and bend time to Future-Past" (of course). Many good things we remember from the techno mothership are present here: bleeps, breaks, drama, jack, explosions and an ever necessary full lexicon of deepness.
"Chunk Hiss" starts & ends with the sound of waves and seagulls looped to hypnotic effect (don't think balearic though - this a very singular trip of people who actually live by the ocean). Between the two extremes, the axis of the whole ordeal is a driving jack beat that pauses only to reintegrate and reform itself in various psychotropic & quantic ways. The track has an extended, quasi-meditative rhythmic breakdown, something for the folks on the dancefloor to enjoy low lights like they used to.
` Either at a small club, a warehouse disco or your local contemporary arts museum, this wonderfully rich couple of tracks, executed with the craftsmanship of true laborers will ensure transcendence is taking place wherever these jams are being played - just let them breathe. Do check out the particularly mind-blowing soloed sections in both tracks, where an ultra precise progressive techno machine seems to be able to manipulate mineral formations and light refractions coming from all sorts of beautiful angles.

Electrical Issue Sparked School Bus Fire in Texas, Investigation Finds
A fire marshal determines that an electrical malfunction started the fire in the engine of one bus and then spread to four others at Coldspring-Oakhurst CISD.
Hurricane Sandy made landfall near Atlantic City, N.J., on Oct. 29. As shown in the map using LiDAR satellite data, most of New York City's (NYC) coastal areas experienced storm surge, significantly impacting almost all city services. Yellow school bus service was no exception. (Note: In the map legend, the blue areas indicate coastal areas inundated. The yellow dots indicate garages in the inundation area.)
NYC school bus service is provided by private vendors but is managed by the Department of Education's Office of Pupil Transportation (OPT). As part of the city's storm preparation, OPT sent management and staff to the Office of Emergency Management to assist in mobilizing hundreds of these buses to evacuate citizens in low-lying areas to shelters. Then the city, and the bus fleets, waited for the storm to pass.
Flooded facility
When the waters receded, OPT began damage assessment. Of immediate concern was damage to OPT's facility, which sustained serious flooding.
According to OPT Executive Director Alexandra Robinson, more than 7 million gallons of water were pumped from the bottom of the Department of Education's OPT building.
This extensive flooding and associated electrical problems forced OPT to relocate its more than 200 employees to other city facilities in the weeks following the storm. Access to critical network systems and equipment used for routing, geographic information systems (GIS) and the customer service call center had to be quickly reassembled and performed remotely.
Bus yards inundated
At the same time, OPT had to assess damage to bus vendor assets.
Unfortunately, nearly one-third of the school bus yards used by NYC's private bus contractors were located in the inundation area. Vendors that hadn't moved their fleets to higher ground suffered significant losses.
According to Robinson, "one of NYC's largest contractors lost more than 250 buses, but many companies, big and small, sustained vehicle damage in the hundreds. Many vendors also suffered extensive damage to their offices, fuel tanks and critical operational systems."
Two areas of Brooklyn with a large number of bus yards — Red Hook and Coney Island — experienced severe storm surge and long-term power outages.
In Red Hook, 10 yards (used by 17 different vendors) were flooded. In Coney Island, nine yards (used by 13 different vendors) were also swamped. Further complicating recovery in Coney Island were thick layers of beach sand deposited across the yards by the receding surge waters.
Surge in service demand
OPT also had to contend with issues beyond fleet and yard damage. Although schools reopened on Nov. 3, more than 77 school buildings remained closed due to flood damage, electrical failure or accessibility issues.
Students from these schools who had previously used the now-crippled public transit system to get to school suddenly required yellow school bus service for the first time. With many companies struggling just to provide service to their previously contracted routes, approximately 21,000 additional students from closed schools now required service to alternate sites.
Though the bus vendors rallied their resources to service much of this increased demand, OPT also utilized private coach services in some areas.
Although many bus yards have underground fuel storage tanks, most in the inundation areas were destroyed by salt water. For these companies, this meant that even yards able to regain electrical power and clear away debris were still unable to fuel their fleets.
To deal with the citywide fuel shortage, NYC used a decommissioned airport (Floyd Bennett Field), managed by the National Guard, as an emergency fueling station for critical service vehicles, including school buses.
Quick response
In a remarkably short time, NYC's yellow school bus service was up and running.
"We're proud of the work done by OPT in response to Hurricane Sandy," said Eric Goldstein, chief executive of the Department of Education's Office of School Support Services, which oversees OPT. "Both staff and management worked diligently to re-route closed schools, find alternate assets to replace damaged and destroyed fleets, and even served as volunteers at shelters, all while assisting parents and school administrators in adjusting to a radically altered school bus environment."

On Friday evening, Apple made some significant changes to the way individual apps pages are laid out on the iTunes App Store. As you can tell from the screenshot above, the app icon is now featured more prominently in the upper left-hand corner. Moreover, instead of having to click 'next' to view another screenshot of an app in action, users can now easily scroll to the right as all the pictures load up on the main app page automatically. This is an obvious improvement over the previous layout which required users to click a button in order to shuffle through the screenshots.
Also, you'll notice that app description is truncated, though clicking "more" reveals the entire thing. From a developers point of view, this shift makes having appealing and eye-catching photos that much more of a necessity, while also stressing the importance of having kick-ass description. Also helpful is that the new layout now puts links to the developers site and support page at the very top. In addition, the "buy button" now includes links to share an app with friends either via Facebook or Twitter. This Twitter bidness' sure is infiltrating everything, eh? And lastly, each app listing now includes, on the left sidebar, a list of all other apps made by a particular developer.
As a point of reference, this is how the old layout looked.
