The diversity of ingredients and preparations in ethnic cuisines can transport you around the world with their unique flavors. And the décor can enhance the journey. That's where Bowl of Pho comes in.
Pho is a staple in Vietnamese diets. Along with rice noodles and beef broth, traditional pho contains varieties of meat including rare beef, beef flank, brisket, tendon (connective tissue that's cooked for a long time at a slow temperature, becoming pliable and gelatinous like beef fat), tripe (stomach of a domesticated animal) and meatballs. A large, colorful plate of garnishes is served alongside the oversized bowl. Toss in as much as you'd like of raw jalapeño slices, saw-leaf herb (leaf-like, with a flavor similar to cilantro but stronger), fragrant Thai basil, crunchy bean sprouts, chopped green onion and cilantro. Add some hot chili sauce and a squeeze of lime wedge and you're ready to roll up your sleeves. A bib is recommended but not necessary — for some.
Warning: Bowl of Pho's menu is expansive. I mix up my order each time I visit. At my rate, I'll be 87 by the time I've worked my way through the menu.
With plenty of appetizers from which to choose, start with the light spring rolls: Shrimp and pork meet vermicelli (thin rice noodles served in many Asian cuisines, from Chinese Cantonese noodles to Filipino pancit), lettuce, bean sprouts, cucumber and cilantro. Everything is carefully tucked into pliable rice paper and rolled. It's proper form to dip these beauties into the side of hoisin-peanut sauce. For pep, add a dash of siracha.
On a recent trip, I diverged from the pho column and ordered from the "egg/rice noodle soup" list. Unlike the beef broth in the pho varieties, these selections offer chicken and pork broth. The barbecue pork with wonton egg noodles (mi hoanh thanh, if you prefer to order in Vietnamese) was a winner: For $7.50, I counted six oversized pork wontons swimming peacefully with tender slices of barbecue pork. After garnishing my soup, I used chopsticks for the noodles and a large flat-bottomed spoon for the broth.
Another favorite is the rice vermicelli, a broth-less option. Your choice of protein is served atop soft, warm, squiggly vermicelli and garnished with bean sprouts, shredded cucumber and lettuce, mint leaves, cilantro and crushed peanuts. These generously sized dishes are served with a fish sauce called nuoc mam — equal parts sweet, sour, salty and spicy.
The requisite boba drink adds a hint of sweetness to the meal's end. Also called pearl milk tea, boba is known for its signature chewy tapioca balls (or pearls), which sit happily at the bottom of the cup. Slurp them up with an oversized straw, then chew. There are smoothie varieties, which are blended beverages, or iced. Honeydew, avocado and taro are my go-to flavors because they soar beyond the usual American selections of vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. A dome-shaped lid allows for a dollop of whipped cream.
Nestled in a shopping center off Baymeadows Road near Southside Boulevard, Bowl of Pho exhibits a spotless modern décor. It used to be closed on Tuesday, but now you can get your noodle fix seven days a week, lunch and dinner. Yum.

The design of comfort wave
Typing is a big part of daily life. You do it automatically without really thinking about it. But, if you're like most people, you're feeling it. That's what prompted us to rethink keyboard design and create a line of comfortable keyboards that don't make you relearn how to type, unlike split keyboards
An idea right at our fingertips
We set out to create a keyboard that didn't force you to conform to it-but rather one that conformed to you. The idea? A wave-shaped key frame with varying key heights to mirror the varying lengths of your fingers. The keys hit by your little fingers would be the highest. Those hit by your middle fingers would be the shortest. You'd be in a more natural position so you wouldn't need to twist and bend your hands and forearms to type
Curve + Wave + Palm Rest
Not ones to rest on our laurels, we looked at all of our options. We tried linear designs. Curved designs. Palm rests and no palm rests. And all the possible combinations. When we put them to the test, the clear favorite was the keyboard with curve + wave + palm rest. The Wave keyboard was born
Details, details
Unlike other curved keyboards, we used consistently sized keys. The subtle 5-degree curve was designed to let your hands open up and take a natural position instead of forcing your wrists to bend. And because each key is the same size and same distance from one another, you wouldn't need to relearn how to type.
The cushioned, contoured palm rest mirrored the wave-shaped key frame. We added gentle indents to position your hands comfortably on the keyboard and used padded, soft upholstery so you'd have a cushy place to rest your palms when you're not typing.
Comfort at last
To bring all this comfort to the achy masses, we had to completely redesign nearly every element of the assembly process and our packaging. But the results were worth it. Independent studies show that the Wave keyboards significantly reduce the four major points of discomfort-without causing a noticeable change in typing speed or accuracy.* It's comfort made easy

The article I'm being pedantic, I know, but I would disagree. whether you build, configure, assemble it yourself does not really make it your distro. the distro, to me, is defined by the set of overall config choices - does it use sysv-type init scripts, does it use /etc/defaults or sysconfig? what major version of glibc/etc does it use? so centos isn't really a distro, just a version or RHEL. similarly, taking a RH-ish install and recompiling everything from SRPM doesn't really change the status either... > to (potentially very many) similar systems. For some large networks, > the advantages that Gentoo allows in terms of control and system usage I'm curious to hear the advantages. I assume, for instance, that most installation will run customized kernels, rather than the distro one, but wouldn't normally recompile basic tools like 'ls' (but over time might well have their own gcc, openssh, etc) thanks, mark hahn.

text: Time to Contain October 28, 2011 11:08 AM Tweet Installing concrete containment structures around fuel tanks is one example of how farmers are complying with new requirements for safe petroleum fuel storage. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Farm Journal Editors Email By Joe Pecoraro Farmers need a plan to control oil and gas products in case of spills Charles Parker, a cotton farmer in southeast Missouri, can think of several ways to spend $13,000. Installing a secondary fuel containment structure isn't at the top of his list, but that's exactly what Parker will be building this fall. He knows the clock is ticking to meet the Environmental Protection Agency's Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule. "The contamination area, after concrete and construction costs, will run at least $12,500," says Parker, who farms near Senath, Mo., and is chairman of the National Cotton Council. "I've never had a spill in my life and don't see that I would, but I'd rather get it taken care of than deal with the hassle [of not complying]." While SPCC might sound like a college football conference acronym, it's actually an effort to ensure petroleum products don't enter the U.S. water supply. Authorized by the Clean Water Act, it helps facilities, including farms, prevent a discharge of oil into navigable waters or adjoining shorelines. A key element of the program requires farms to develop, maintain and implement an oil spill prevention plan, called an SPCC Plan. These plans are intended to help farms prevent oil spills, as well as help control a spill should one occur. Specifically, the SPCC rule applies to producers storing more than 1,320 gal. of petroleum products above ground or 42,000 gal. in containers buried completely underground, where a discharge might find its way to a shoreline, lake, river or stream. Do you qualify? Farms that began operation after Aug. 16, 2002, have until Nov. 10, 2011, to prepare a SPCC Plan. Farms that began operation before August 2002 are expected to already have a plan implemented or work to have one as soon as possible. EPA spokesperson Kris Lancaster says farms with a total oil storage capacity between 1,320 gal. and 10,000 gal. in aboveground containers, and that have a good spill history, may prepare and self-certify their own SPCC Plan. Farms with a storage capacity of more than 10,000 gal., or that have had an oil spill, must have their plan certified by an engineer. "Since 2002, most of the amendments to the program have been to reduce the burden on small businesses, including farmers," Lancaster says. "Most recently, the program was changed so that farmers can self-certify if they store less than 10,000 gal. and have no containers larger than 5,000 gal. They can fill out a fill-in-the-blank plan that becomes their SPCC Plan." Because Parker stores more than 10,000 gal. of oil products on his farm, he is not able to self-certify. He's working with an engineer to build a concrete structure that will contain fuel in the event of a spill. Plan just in case. Plans must include a written list of petroleum storage locations and a description of the steps used to transfer fuel from storage tanks to farm vehicles. You must also detail measures that will be used in the event of a spill and keep a list of emergency contacts. The most difficult and expensive part is providing effective secondary containment. Double-walled tanks and earthen or concrete dikes that hold the full capacity of your storage containers plus rainfall are options. Jean Payne, president of the Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical Association, says most farmers know they need to comply, and want to comply. "There just hasn't been a common sense, easy-to-use way to do that," she says. That changed in early October when EPA approved a simple, web-based tool, developed by the Asmark Institute and the Fertilizer Institute, to help growers and ag retailers comply with the SPCC rule. It can be accessed at www.asmark.org/mySPCC. Back to news

The GEF4 Graphics component provides a level of abstraction over different drawing toolkits (natives). At the moment, SWT and AWT backends are in development. Its goal is to be as complete as possible, i.e. you should have access to all the functionality that you have access to when working directly with one of the natives (SWT or AWT). Of course, this is not always viable. But we aim to provide at least the greatest common divisor of the functionality that is offered by the individual natives and additionally, decent simulations for operations which are not offered by all natives.

The heart of the GEF4 Graphics component is the IGraphics interface. Normally, you will be handed over an IGraphics to accomplish your displaying tasks by a surrounding framework, but it can be used stand-alone, too. Thereto, you have to create a specific IGraphics implementation. Let us consider the following SWT example:
[Example 001: Simple Graphics]

It is independent of the actual // IGraphics implementation. Therefore, it is independent of the // underlying drawing toolkit, too. final Ellipse ellipse = new Ellipse(50, 50, 350, 200); final Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle(100, 160, 125, 220); final Polygon triangle = new Polygon(260, 170, 190, 300, 330, 300); g.setFill(new Color(255, 0, 0)).setDraw(new Color(128, 0, 0)) .setDashArray(25, 10); g.fill(ellipse).draw(ellipse.getOutline()); g.setFill(new Color(0, 0, 255)).setLineJoin(LineJoin.ROUND) .setLineCap(LineCap.ROUND); g.fill(rectangle).draw(rectangle.getOutline()); g.setFill(new Color(0, 255, 0)).setDraw(new Color(0, 128, 0)) .setLineJoin(LineJoin.MITER); g.fill(triangle).draw(triangle.getOutline()); } }
[Note: You can tryout the examples in your local GEF4 installation. Every example shown in this documentation exists in the org.eclipse.gef4.graphics.examples project under the org.eclipse.gef4.graphics.examples.doc package. The examples are easily found via their identification number which is written atop the source code.]
As you can see in this example, the SwtGraphics is an IGraphics implementation. It can be constructed via a SWT GC which is passed-in to the paintControl() event handler. The renderScene() method does not know anything about the actual IGraphics implemention that is used. That's why we would not need to adjust our rendering code when switching to AWT, for example. You may wonder why we have to call the cleanUp() method on the IGraphics. In the case of SWT, this is necessary to fully free the system resources that will be allocated during the rendering process.
When looking at the code, there are two important observations:
- The GEF4 Geometry component is integrated into the IGraphics interface, so that we can easily display geometry objects. Notably, the power of the draw() and fill() operations is directly coupled with the power of the Geometry component. All drawing primitives, such as lines, rectangles, ellipses, and many more, are represented by corresponding Geometry objects.
- The drawing operations of the IGraphics are influenced by a set of attributes which are managed by the IGraphics (draw-color, fill-color, etc.). A full set of attributes is referred to as a GraphicsState.
There are four different drawing operations available on an IGraphics: draw(), fill(), write(), and blit().
- Using the IGraphics#draw(ICurve) and IGraphics#draw(Path) methods, you can display the (contour of the) passed-in geometry object.
- For a reference of all available geometry objects, take a look at the GEF4 Geometry component (GEF/GEF4/Geometry).
- Influencing attributes: draw-pattern (Color, Gradient, and Image), stroke (dash-array, dash-begin, line-cap, line-join, line-width, miter-limit)
- Analogical, the IGraphics#fill(IShape), IGraphics#fill(IMultiShape), and IGraphics#fill(Path) methods will fill the interior of the passed-in geometry object.
- Influencing attributes: fill-pattern (Color, Gradient, and Image)
- Using the IGraphics#blit(Image) method, you can display the passed-in Image object.
- Influencing attributes: interpolation-hint
- Using the IGraphics#write(String) method, you can display the passed-in String object.
- Influencing attributes: font, write-pattern (Color, Gradient, and Image), background-color
A GraphicsState represents one set of IGraphics attributes. The following list presents all available attributes, default values, and a short description of the attributes.
- InterpolationHint = QUALITY
When displaying a transformed Image, the InterpolationHint specifies whether to apply a fast and low-quality (InterpolationHint#SPEED) interpolation, or to apply a slower but higher-quality (InterpolationHint#QUALITY) interpolation.
- Draw-Pattern = black
Specifies the draw-pattern which consists of a Color, a Gradient, an Image, and a Mode. The pattern's mode specifies which of the three values (Color, Gradient, and Image) is queried for the drawing color.
- Dash-Array = {}
Specifies a double[] consisting of distance values which alternatingly specify opaque and transparent sections.
- Dash-Begin = 0
Specifies the initially assumed covered distance when applying the DashArray.
- LineCap = FLAT
Specifies how to display unconnected end points of displayed lines. A FLAT LineCap will not extend a drawn line beyond its unconnected end points. A ROUND LineCap will draw a semi-circle at the unconnected end points of a displayed line. A SQUARE LineCap will extend a drawn line beyond its unconnected end points by half the line's width.
- LineJoin = BEVEL
Specifies how to display the connection point of two displayed lines. A BEVEL LineJoin fills the bent corner triangular. A MITER LineJoin fills the bent corner up to the intersection point of the two outermost lines if its distance to the middle intersection is less than or equal to the MiterLimit. In case of exceeding the MiterLimit, the BEVEL LineJoin is used.
- Line-Width = 1
Specifies the width of displayed lines.
- Miter-Limit = 10
Restricts the use of the MITER LineJoin, because for low intersection angles, the intersection point may lie far away from the original connection point. Its value is the maximal quotient of the distance between the intersection point and the connection point and the line width.
- Fill-Pattern = black
Specifies the fill-pattern which consists of a Color, a Gradient, an Image, and a Mode. The pattern's mode specifies which of the three values (Color, Gradient, and Image) is queried for the filling color.
- Write-Pattern = black
Specifies the write-pattern which consists of a Color, a Gradient, an Image, and a Mode. The pattern's mode specifies which of the three values (Color, Gradient, and Image) is queried for the writing color.
- Write-Background = transparent white
Specifies the background color for write() operations.
Additional to these attributes, a GraphicsState consists of four general attributes, which will affect all drawing operations:
- AffineTransform = identity transform
Transforms the coordinate system before applying any drawing operations.
- Clip = null
Specifies a Path which serves as the clipping area for all subsequent drawing operations. Setting the clip to null disables clipping.
- Antialiasing = true
If enabled, anti-aliasing is used to smooth drawn edges.
- Xor-mode = false
If enabled, combines source and destination colors via binary exclusive-or when drawing.
How to
The "How to..." sections explain how to use specific functionality of the GEF4 Graphics component. You can try out the various presented code snippets using the HowToSnippets demo in the org.eclipse.gef4.graphics.examples project under the org.eclipse.gef4.graphics.examples.doc package.
How to draw geometric primitives
The GEF4 Geometry component provides many geometric abstractions. It is integrated into the GEF4 Graphics component. Therefore, the GEF4 Graphics component allows for rendering those geometric abstractions. You can use the draw() and fill() methods of the IGraphics in order to draw the contour of a geometric abstraction or fill it with a color, a gradient, or an image.
How-to snippet 001:
graphics.setDraw(new Color(0, 0, 0)).draw(new Line(10, 10, 90, 90)); graphics.setFill(new Color(255, 0, 0)).fill(new Ellipse(30, 5, 20, 20)); graphics.draw(new Rectangle(5, 50, 30, 10).getOutline());
The list of provided geometric primitives contains all of the standard geometric objects, such as arcs, lines, ellipses, paths, polygons, polylines, rectangles, and rounded rectangles. Complementary, additional abstractions for the use of Bezier curves are provided, namely curved-polygons and polybeziers where the edges are arbitrary Bezier curves.
How-to snippet 002:
// connection passes through the given points PolyBezier connection = PolyBezier.interpolateCubic( new Point(10, 10), new Point(10, 90), new Point(180, 90), new Point(180, 200) ); graphics.draw(connection);
How to draw arbitrary Bezier curves
Bezier curves are used in the GEF4 Geometry component to represent edges of geometric objects. They can be visualized like any other of the geometric abstractions.
How-to snippet 003:
graphics.draw(new BezierCurve(new Point(25, 25)); graphics.draw(new BezierCurve(new Point(200, 25), new Point(300, 25)); graphics.draw(new BezierCurve(new Point(10, 150), new Point(86, 90), new Point(162, 25), new Point(238, 130), new Point(314, 200), new Point(380, 150)));
As you can see, the Bezier curve approaches the polyline of its control points. The first control point is called the start point, the last control point is called the end point, and the intermediate control points are called the handle points of the Bezier curve. The number of control points determines the curve's degree. A degree 0 curve is defined by a single control point. Such a Bezier curve represents this single point. A degree 1 curve is defined by two control points. Such a Bezier curve represents a straight line segment. Etc.

A beloved design. Now with more to love.
iPhone SE takes an incredibly popular design and refines it even further. Crafted from bead-blasted aluminium for a satin-like finish, this light and compact phone is designed to fit comfortably in your hand. A brilliant 4-inch1 Retina display makes everything look vibrant and sharp. And matt-chamfered edges and a colour-matched stainless steel logo finish the look.
The most powerful 4?inch phone ever.
At the core of iPhone SE is the A9, the same advanced chip that's in iPhone 6s. With 64-bit desktop-class architecture, the A9 chip brings you spectacular speed and responsiveness. And with console-class graphics performance, your favourite games and apps are incredibly rich and immersive. Making it a mighty chip for maximum performance.
The only camera you'll ever need.
With a 12-megapixel camera, you can be sure to capture sharp, detailed stills like the ones shot on iPhone 6s. That includes shooting — and even editing — brilliant 4K video, which is up to four times the resolution of 1080p HD video.
Live Photos. Capture more than a moment.
Live Photos brings your still photos to life with sound and movement. Simply touch and hold anywhere on your 12-megapixel still and experience the moments just before and after it was taken, so your photos turn into living memories.
FaceTime HD camera with Retina Flash. Your selfie just got more beautiful.
The Retina display isn't just a place to see your content — it's a flash for your FaceTime HD camera. Powered by a custom display chip that allows the display to flash three times brighter than usual, the Retina Flash helps illuminate your selfies in low light and at night. And a True Tone flash matches the ambient light for more true-to-life colours and natural-looking skin tones.
Advanced security. Right at your fingertip.
Touch ID makes unlocking your iPhone SE simple and secure. After all, your fingerprint is the perfect password — no two are alike, and you always have it with you.
An easier, more secure way to pay.
Touch ID isn't just for unlocking your phone. It also lets you use Apple Pay in hundreds of thousands of shops and within apps. In shops, just hold your iPhone near the reader with your finger on Touch ID, and you're done. Because your card details are never shared — or even stored on your device — Apple Pay is a safer, more private way to pay.
Faster 4G LTE and Wi?Fi.
Browse the web, download apps and games, and stream video over 802.11ac Wi?Fi and 4G LTE. And more LTE bands make iPhone SE better for worldwide roaming. iPhone SE also supports Wi?Fi calling for high-quality wideband calls.2 And with Bluetooth technology, you can stay connected to your Apple Watch, external speakers and other devices.

Chefs tame open flames beneath a backlit glass awning. Like Camino, just a few blocks down on this strip of Grand Avenue, Penrose is carved from brick and wood, and highly skilled hostesses maneuver customers around tables as if it were intermission at the Orpheum.
Open since January, Charlie Hallowell's third Oakland restaurant is theatrical. Noisy. Gorgeous. Even servers and staff are striking in appearance. And everyone's eyes are on what's coming out of that red-hot open kitchen.
The focus of the food is small plates with an emphasis on meat, fish, veggies and flatbreads from the grill. With the exception of a pork loin and the roasted quail, nothing on the menu costs more than $20.
With the restaurants Pizzaiolo and Boot and Shoe Service, Hallowell focused on wood-fired pizzas and rustic, Cal-Italian accoutrements. But at Penrose, he and his team are experimenting with Middle Eastern and North African flavors: preserved lemons, za'atar and charmoula. The cooking feels riskier, sophisticated.
Take the lamb kefta flatbread ($12) studded with currants, candied pistachios, cilantro, yogurt and fried Iraqi wheat berries. The crunch from the berries and the sweet and sour notes from the currants, which to me had the zing of Persian dried limes, was beyond delicious — and gorgeous to look at.
They had simple flatbreads, too, with sea salt and extra-virgin olive oil ($4) or za'atar, tahini yogurt, charmoula and harissa ($8), so order to your liking but definitely tear into one of these breads as a starter with friends.
To supplement, we chose the avocado and blood orange salad ($10) dotted with darling spring onions, black olives and toasted sesame seeds. It was tasty, but struck me as odd that a simple salad would cost about the same as that fully-loaded, protein-rich flatbread.
I have a feeling I would've loved the little gems and pomegranate crunch lettuce ($10). Pomegranate crunch is essentially a red-leaf romaine, and it's scarce on menus. Penrose's comes with pounded anchovy, shaved fennel and grana. Likely worth the 10 bucks, too. Oh, well, next time.
Actually, maybe not. Penrose's menu changes daily, and we were lucky to strike gold on two entrees. The buttermilk fried quail ($16) was a revelation, if only because I never knew our state bird could taste so good (sorry, Chez Panisse). Think thin, crunchy skin over flavorful dark meat with a simple schmear of parsnip puree and a generous portion of lemony herb salad with kumquats.
The slow-cooked king salmon ($15) was also very good. The chef had feathered off rectangles of fish and scattered them about Belgian endive, English peas, Meyer lemon and green garlic oil. It had an addictive zing, and tasted like "spring on a plate," as our server said. Man, she was good at her job. It is typical practice at a Hallowell restaurant for all staff to taste every dish before dinner service so they can talk intimately about the food. It showed.
Unfortunately, I found the Don Watson lamb ($18) disappointing compared to the other dishes. It was pink and undercooked and the lemony chickpeas — referred to as a ragout on the menu — didn't have a stewed or simmered quality to them at all.
On the bright side, the lamb was accompanied by lamb's quarters, another hard-to-find leafy green. It had a delightful, earthy quality reminiscent of chard. Thanks to Penrose, I got to try it for the first time.
I also indulged in a rather fancy s'mores, or chocolate toast ($8), a slice of grilled levain bread drizzled with olive oil, grated bittersweet chocolate, cinnamon, salt and an Italian meringue that was a dead ringer for marshmallow cream. Gooey greatness.
My complaint about Penrose was the seating. Our table had thick, curved legs jutting out from under it that prevented us from crossing our legs. It didn't bother me, but my friends mentioned their discomfort more than once. The other options — high communal tables or teeny low tables — didn't look any cozier.
But it won't prevent me from going back. I'm a sucker for a good show.

I'm running WRF on ranger, the 580 TF Sun cluster at utexas.edu. I can complete the WRF single domain run, using 384 cores in ~30 min wall clock time.

Hello everyone!
One of the features we improved in IE8 is the 'new tab' page, which is the page you see by default when you click the New Tab button on the Tab row, or if you hit CTRL+T (the keyboard shortcut that does the same thing). We're the Program Managers for this page and would like to walk you through the history and evolution of this feature to what it is today in IE8 Beta 2.
When IE7 was released in 2006, many users did not know what tabs were, so our new tab page didn't really do anything except say "I'm a tab" and offer a link to help content for folks who were interested in learning more. Now it's 2008, and web users are even more sophisticated and tab-enabled browsers are ubiquitous, so we decided that it was time to start making the new tab page more useful than just saying "I'm here." So what kinds of tasks do we add to the new tab page?
We started with our first goal for this page: provide easy access to tab-related tasks. We recognize that when you open a new tab, you're probably on your way to go do something else in the browser like visit a new site or start a new search. So, it seemed logical to make this new tab page offer up tab-related tasks to the user, especially given our desire to make navigation easier in IE8.
However, as we looked at all the tasks and links that we might put on the page, it became clear that not all tasks were suitable. For instance, we could have added a search box to the new tab page, since we know a large number of users issue Internet searches with some frequency. However, IE's search box is already visible and available to the user, as are any search toolbars the user may have installed, so adding yet another redundant search entry point was uninteresting. We considered adding links to commonly-visited sites (or maybe your very favorite Favorites), but again, that seemed duplicative – that list was already a click away with the new Smart Address bar autocomplete dropdown.
So here is our second goal for this page: be a discoverability aid to cool features that might otherwise be hidden, and its corollary, don't bother with features that are already visible to the user. We know this page would be a good advertising surface for features that users might not otherwise discover. The ability to restore a closed tab from a window was new to IE8, but many users might not even know that the feature existed (our customer feedback data indicates that most users don't right-click tabs to see what menu options are available to them).
With our two goals in mind, we created a page that showed what this might look like. Here's an early, early version for comparison in case you're curious:
This was essentially IE7's new tab page rearranged, with some new IE8 functionality thrown in. It had a few tab-related tasks (re-opening closed tabs & windows), and a new feature now known as InPrivate browsing.
First, we'd heard feedback that even in IE7, this page looked a lot like an error page, down to using the same color scheme and fonts. Some users might see this page and assume that something was wrong. So, we knew we needed to differentiate the page from the product's error pages.
Second, we thought it was visually distracting. While many users would certainly use and welcome the functionality of this page, often times users don't care what it says and just want to go somewhere else. Having large, colorful icons on the page, lots of text, and a complex layout created a page that drew your eye towards it instead of letting you focus on the task you were about to undertake.
This feedback and our early mockups led to goal #3: Don't let the page distract users if they're not going to use it. We knew we had to tone the page down a bit. It had to be visually serene, so it wouldn't be jarring when users opened a new tab.
We've iterated a bit in our designs to take our goals & concerns into account, and so here's what the New Tab Page looks like in IE8 Beta 2:
As you can see, we've changed the theme of the page so it doesn't look like an error page, we've eliminated the large & colorful icons (although we kept FavIcons in), and simplified the layout. The help link at the bottom will take a user to a help topic that explains all the features on the page, tabs, and shortcuts if they want to learn more (although our help won't be finalized until later, so for now it goes to a placeholder topic). This new look is also consistent with other IE8 informational pages, like the one you see when you start a new InPrivate browsing session.
Here's information about each section of this page:
Reopen closed tabs
On the left, the user can easily restore a tab they've closed in that window just by clicking on the title of the web page. In our internal testing, this was the most commonly-used action from the new tab page, which is why it's got the prime location on the page. When you click any web page from that list, the tab will reopen (with its entire travel log, meaning that you'll recover the pages associated with that tab's forward & back buttons too). The tab is then removed from this list. If you click 'Open All,' then all the tabs in the list will be restored, and the list will be cleared. "Reopen Last Browsing Session" will re-open the last full non-InPrivate IE window you've closed, with all its tabs.
If you click the green header or the arrow to the right of it, the list will be visually collapsed. This helps when you're concerned about over-the shoulder privacy (so people in the room can't see what tabs you've closed). The open or collapsed state 'sticks,' meaning that if you like the list to be closed, just leave it closed, and if you like it to be open, just leave it open, and it will (almost) always show that way (see the exception to the rule below).
Start InPrivate Browsing
Click the green header text to open a new InPrivate Browsing window. This launches an InPrivate Browsing session just as if you launched it from the command bar Safety menu, or via the keyboard shortcut, CTRL+SHIFT+P.
Use an Accelerator
We've provided a handy way for users to get to their default Accelerators via this page. Just click on any Accelerator to launch it as if you'd launched it from the Accelerator menu on any page. We'll automatically grab whatever's on your clipboard and send it to that Accelerator. You can click "Show Clipboard" to view what's on your clipboard in case you're nervous that you might send personally sensitive information before you click on an Accelerator. Like the list of closed tabs, you can 'stick' the list of Accelerators open or closed, depending on your preference.
This is also a handy way to use an Accelerator on text from other applications, not just from web pages. For instance, you can copy a line of text from a document in Microsoft Word, then open a new tab in IE8, and use the Accelerator with that text.
Over the shoulder privacy concerns
We know that people don't always want to show everyone around them what's on their machine, which is why we've taken care to give you ways to protect your privacy. Lists on this page will stick open or closed, depending on your preference. And, while in Windows Vista's presentation mode, we'll automatically collapse both lists for you whenever the New Tab Page is opened. That way, if you're projecting your screen in a public setting with Windows Vista, you don't have to worry about IE8 exposing your list of installed Accelerators or closed tabs to your audience. You can of course pop them open while presenting, but changes made to their open/collapsed state won't affect your preferences when you're not in presentation mode.
Here's the new tab page while in Windows Vista presentation mode:
Changing what happens when you open a New Tab in IE8
If you wish to change the behavior when you open a new tab in IE8, you can set IE8 to open the page we've described in this post (the default), a blank page, or the first page of your home page set. Just go to Internet Options (off the Tools menu on the Command Bar or classic menu) and select the button on the General tab to change Tabbed Browsing Settings.
This screenshot shows the dropdown that you can select your preference with:
Side note - corporations can lock this behavior down via Group Policy if they choose.
In IE7, there was a checkbox on the new tab page that said "don't show me this again," which flipped your default new tab page to the 'blank page' option. We removed this in IE8 because the IE7 behavior was a one-way road for less technical users – if they clicked the checkbox they had no obvious way of reversing their decision, and weren't likely to discover the settings dialog to change it back on their own. By consolidating the option to change the behavior to one place, a user who changes the option will know how to change it back if they need to.
Finally, because we believe that this new tab page has a lot more value than its IE7 counterpart, we've made this new page the default new tab page for all IE8 users, even if you had changed this option in IE7 (which is especially useful for those people who accidentally checked the box in IE7 without meaning to). More technical users (like, for instance, those of you reading this blog) know how to change this setting, so you can change it back if you wish to.
In summary
That's how IE8's new tab page evolved, and where we are today. We are interested in your feedback about the IE8 New Tab Page so please leave us a comment in this post. Thanks, and enjoy IE8 Beta 2!

4-H is an informal, practical educational program for youth. It is the youth development program of Rutgers Cooperative Extension, the off-campus division of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station of Rutgers University. 4-H is where there's fun in learning and learning is fun!
4-H is the Youth Development program of Rutgers Cooperative Extension. There are a variety of 4-H programs provided by Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Monmouth County.
Clubs are the foundation of the 4-H program. 4-H has no membership registration fee. Uniforms are not required. A 4-H club is a group of five or more youngsters guided by one or more adult volunteer leaders. A club can be any size - from a small group of kids from one neighborhood to a larger club consisting of youth from all over the county. A 4-H Club usually concentrates on one or more projects such as gardening, woodworking, small animals, food and nutrition, karate, photography, etc. 4-H members build leadership by electing officers and conducting their own business meetings; work together on community service activities; meet new friends; and most important, have lots of fun.

4-H reaches youth through a variety of methods:
There are no fees for participation in 4-H. 4-H Youth Development programs are offered to all youth grades K-13, without regard to race, sex, disability or handicap,color, national origin, religion, or age.
Funding and support are provided by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey; U.S. Department of Agriculture and County Board of Chosen Freeholders.
4-H clubs consist of CLOVERBUD CLUBS (grades K-3) and STANDARD 4-H CLUBS (grades 4-13). Some clubs involve CLOVERBUD and STANDARD 4-H club level members.
Some 4-H clubs are SPECIFIC SUBJECT clubs in which each club primarily covers a specific activity area (e.g. - horse club, rabbit club, rocketry club, etc...) Other 4-H clubs are VARIETY SUBJECT clubs in which each club introduces 4-H'ers to many different activity areas such as crafts, animal science, nature study, etc. Youth can pursue individual subjects that they are interested in - there does not have to be a club named for that activity.

| Gumball Watterson
| Character Information
Gumball Tristopher Watterson is the main character of The Amazing World of Gumball. He is a twelve-year-old, light blue male cat that goes to Elmore Junior High with his ten-year-old adopted brother and best friend Darwin and his six-year-old sister Anais. Gumball is in Miss Simian's class. Gumball also has a crush on Penny, and though their feelings are mutual, they struggle to express their emotions to each other.
Early ConceptEdit
Originally, Gumball was to be a blue dog. Not much thought was put into this choice - it was more of a placeholder than a final design. As the creators developed the character further, they decided to make him a black cat as it fit the personality they had in mind for him: unlucky, but optimistic (black cats symbolize bad luck). The creators found this trait to be too restricting in terms of possible plots and stories. In addition, a silhouette cat would be "hard to read" on the backgrounds planned for the show. Finally, the decision was to make him blue, a decision that Bocquelet liked because blue isn't a color usually found on cats, and it had a "70's-80's Japanese mascot" sort of feel.
Final DesignEdit
In the actual show, Gumball is a light blue cat. On his oversized head, he has six whiskers, but only five are visible most of the time because his head is mostly shown at an angle. He usually wears grey trousers coupled with a tan sweater which has brown cuffs and a brown collar. Like his mother and father, Gumball doesn't wear shoes, and is the only member of the Wattersons without visible eyelashes, although in some episode he is seen with visible eyelashes, like in "The Refund".
In Season 2, his design changes slightly. His head and his whiskers are bigger, while his eyes and tooth are rounder.
Gumball is portrayed as a fun-loving, imaginative, rather optimistic, and a very mischievous cat. When his mishaps get himself into a mess, he usually attempts to fix things with somewhat dimwitted ideas, which usually get him into even more trouble than before. No matter how his schemes resolve themselves, Gumball's naïveté stops him from learning his lesson. He usually plans his mishaps with Darwin. Like Darwin, Gumball does not appear to notice deception, which may mean that he is too optimistic to notice most negative things around him.
Gumball has a big ego and it is where he is most sensitive. Otherwise he is usually positive on all matters concerning him. Gumball is smart, but that doesn't mean he's wise. At times he acts really stupid and goes to great illogical lengths to find something, but he has shown some degree of cleverness in other circumstances. He happens to have a superior vocabulary than that of most of his classmates, using more mature words. Gumball has also displayed extents of observancy and operational ingenuity, such as being able to identify small things like the burn markings on Rocky's palms, intellectually arrange escape routes based on his surroundings, and even counter his own mother Nicole's hand-based offences for a great deal of time, shown in both episodes "The Date" and "The Remote"; in which case even secretly confiscating her car keys from her pocket in the process. His antics have gotten him in dangerous and often life-threatening situations, usually saved by luck by someone more sensible at the time. He has shown skill in building, when he made a system of chain reactions to launch a bowling ball onto the moon, as seen in "The Car", though he failed miserably in the last element.
He is a decent cook, making a very good sandwich for Darwin as mentioned in "The Secret", and is shown making a good (albeit spicy) meal for him in the same episode. He also got a B in home eds for his cooking and Miss Simian called his cooking divine. However, in "The Responsible", Gumball makes disgusting food for Anais, consisting of a rotten fish between bread slices and an old shoe. In the "The Knights", Gumball made a cake for Mr. Fitzgerald.

- Main article: Gumball Watterson/Quotes
- He can play the ukulele and sing well, as seen in "The Knights". Despite this he is shown to be failing music class in "The Apology".
- He apparently had his appendix removed and he also kissed Sussie, as said by Darwin in "The Skull".
- Gumball was voiced by Nicky Jones (best known for voicing the title character of Chowder) in the Early reel episode, but Logan Grove started voicing Gumball for the rest of the episodes.
- In Project Exonaut, Gumball is available as an exosuit for 1,000 coins.
- In Cartoon Network: FusionFall, Gumball is available as a Nano.
- Gumball's sweater was revealed to have been found by his dad in a sewage outlet in "The Date".

- Gumball is terrible at catching things, as shown in "The Quest".
- Gumball hates watching the shopping channel, as shown in "The Laziest".
- Gumball has been shown to be a horrible liar on numerous occasions.
- Although Gumball has six whiskers, only five of them are visible because of the angle of his head. In "The Poltergeist", when Gumball impersonates a pea on a fork, you can see that he has six whiskers.
- He has very wide hips, which is unusual because this feature is more commonly seen on female characters in animation.
- Both Gumball and Anais placed 4th in the Dumb Race, since they both forfeited at the same time.
- In "The Club", Nicole reveals that she and Richard agreed to give Gumball the middle name "Christopher", but Richard confused it for "Tristopher" on Gumball's birth certificate. His middle name was also confirmed as "Tristopher" on James Lamont's Formspring.

- Gumball may have a fear of drowning, or perhaps claustrophobia as reflected in a dream where he hyperventilates and panics in a sinking car in "The Dream".
- In "The Fight", it's revealed that Tina actually thought of herself as Gumball's friend.
- Gumball is the only member of the Watterson family that does not have any visible eyelashes.
- In "The Treasure", it is revealed that Gumball was a really ugly baby, though this may have been contradicted in "The Hero".
- Gumball is shown to be good at whistling, demonstrating his skill in "The Colossus" and "The Fridge".

With the end of its 2013-2014 Nota Bene Baroque Players (NBBP) Concert Season, the NBBP Organization has proven itself resilient at re-inventing itself and offering it's audience a new and more dynamic approach to performances and community services.
Having reached a low in performance appearances in previous years (3 performances per year), the NBBP Organization undertook a closer look at its potential as the Region of Waterloo's (Ontario Canada) early music orchestra with the result being of a staggering expanded performance schedule of 14 concerts, as well as a number of NBBP-led initiatives.

"L'Arpeggiata did not simply perform arrangements of Purcell; rather they created entirely new, highly original, works.

As the Jets evaluate their options for dealing with cornerback Darrelle Revis and a contract that expires after the season, Revis has far fewer choices, as a practical matter.
While he can refuse to do a contract extension with the Jets or anyone else, which would make it harder for the Jets to get real value via trade, Revis can't try to force a new deal by holding out.
Technically, he can. But if Revis holds out at any point under his current deal the final three years of the contract won't void, putting Revis under contract for 2014, 2015, and 2016 at only $3 million per year.
Even if the contract didn't prevent it, he shouldn't do it. If he wants to cash in next year, Revis needs to rehab and practice and play and show that he's still one of the best cornerbacks in the game. He won't be able to do that if he's holding out.
And he definitely won't be able to cash in if he's still under contract beyond 2013.

From out of the 'Corner' and into the spotlight
Alumni donation of $1 million drops the puck on plans for new ice arena
Dylan Heuer
While navigating the demands associated with studies in computer science, Stephen Schultz '89 took advantage of numerous outlets on campus to maximize his college experience. But for the co-founder and chief technical officer at Pictometry International Corp., nothing rivaled his passion for Tigers hockey.
"I always said if Pictometry took off, I'd kick in toward a new rink," Schultz recalls, "and I now have the opportunity to do so."
Joined by his wife, Vicki Schultz '94, '99 (business administration, MBA), the alumnus presented an opening gift to Tiger Power Play—The Campaign for RIT Hockey, which kicked off last month during a special presentation inside Frank Ritter Arena. The gift featured $1 million in Pictometry stock that he earned through co-founding the company.
The campaign goal is $15 million and targets alumni and other supporters of RIT men's and women's hockey. It's expected a new arena—designed to accommodate 4,000 to 6,000 fans—will cost $25 million to $30 million to build. RIT plans to cover the remaining cost, but when and where construction will take place has not yet been determined.
Schultz says his affiliation with RIT hockey dates back to 1982. As a regular at home games, he would later become co-founder of the Corner Crew. Additionally, during his time as an RIT student, he served as editor in chief of Reporter magazine and was a member of both Computer Science House and Student Government.
"He very much enjoyed the RIT experience, partly because he created a lot of it," says RIT President Bill Destler. "I think this is a wonderful example of an individual who not only contributed to the campus as a student but went out and contributed to our community by building a first-rate and growing company and is now giving back to the university and the community in an extraordinary way."
Having witnessed firsthand the school spirit generated by the Tigers' NCAA Frozen Four appearance, Schultz appreciates the impact a newer, larger arena will have in engaging a broader spectrum of the campus community.
"The more connected your students are, the more connected your alumni will be, and hockey is a big part of that."

This strange political season gets stranger by the day. The things I'm hearing and seeing from Newt Gingrich and Cory Booker today reminded me of a song from one of the last (and, in my opinion, underrated) albums by Culture Club; my favorite band from my 80's youth. The lyric that comes to mind is from the band's 1984 single, "Mistake No. 3," when Boy George sings of people getting "dragged into a conversation they can't hold."
It's been 28 years, and I still can't figure out what that song's about. But, it's not hard to figure out that, despite coming at Mitt Romney's Bain Capital history from opposite sides, Newt Gingrich and Booker let themselves get dragged into conversations they can't hold.
What got me humming that old Culture Club tune again was Newt's advice to the Obama campaign, not to make the same "mistake" he made when he went after Romney's Bain history.
During an appearance on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight," the former House Speaker and GOP presidential candidate discussed the political fallout from Newark mayor Cory Booker's comments on Sunday's "Meet The Press." During that interview, Booker characterized Obama's attacks on Romney's business record as "nauseating," but later walked back his remarks and asserted that criticism of Romney's time at Bain is fair game.
"Booker is telling the truth about how the American people feel," Gingrich, who backed Romney after ending his own presidential bid earlier this month, said on Monday.
Speaking somewhat candidly about his own campaign's failures, Gingrich said he was "surprised" that Obama had taken the Bain Capital route after witnessing the backlash that met the former speaker when he went down a similar path.
"We found out when we got in a fight with Mitt Romney over this that it didn't work," he said. "People understand free enterprise. People realize that sometimes you succeed, sometimes you fail, but they refuse to take a one-sided view of it."
As we used to say down south, "Well, bless his heart."
Like a stopped clock, even Newt Gingrich can be right now and then. (Like when he nailed Paul Ryan's plan for Medicare and the so-called "super committee.") But in this case, Newt's dead wrong about what he got wrong.
The "backlash" Newt experienced was not because of "how the American people feel" about private equity. A Pew Research Center survey conducted in January of this year showed that economic inequality is a major concern for most Americans; 66% believe there are "strong" or "very strong" conflicts between rich and poor. The findings on public perceptions of the wealthy showed that Americans were almost equally split on their perceptions of the wealthy, with plurality (46%) believing that the rich are wealthy because "are wealthy mainly because they know the right people or were born into wealthy families," as opposed to their own hard work, ambition or education" (43%).
The backlash Newt experienced, and that caused him to try to take it all back, came from conservatives who were furious that Newt was damaging their "inevitable" front runner before the primaries were anywhere near over, and outraged that Newt stirred up a perfect storm that threatened to drag the GOP itself into a conversation it couldn't hold.
The problem for Newt and the rest of the Republicans is that they can't blame the fact that more Americans see economic inequality as a problem at president Obama's feet. The Occupy movement can be credited with pushing the issue to the forefront of our national politics, but that happened largely because of economic conditions that add up to three decades of stagnant wages and increased costs of living for middle- and working-class Americans, just barely covered by cheap credit that allowed families to simulate increased living standards, until the economic crisis brought the whole house of cards tumbling down.
That's what makes it "impossible" for Republicans to talk about the kind economic inequality that Bain and other vulture capital firms leave in their wake, as a part of just doing business.
Newt has, basically, created the perfect storm for Republicans going into the South Carolina primaries, with Mitt Romney — the Man from Bain, who still smells like a Wall Street boardroom, and probably now looks more than ever to South Carolina primary voters "like the guy who laid you off." Newt has forced the Republicans into a conversation they can't hold, and aren't even remotely prepared for.
The funny part is that Newt every thought they could avoid it, and that Republicans still think they can avoid it.
Cory Booker's mistake was, oddly enough, both different from and similar to Gingrich's mistake.
Both ran afoul of their parties when they strayed too far off message; Newt with his Bain attacks, and Booker with his Bain defense. Newt elevated what turned out to be a relevant topic that neither he nor his party was truly prepared to address. Booker, on the other hand, turned about and dismissed as "crap" the very same issue, which his president and his party are presently addressing.
Both, handed their opposition material tailor-made for scathing attacks. The Obama campaign now has its own Bain ads. Republicans have launched an "I Stand With Cory" web campaign.
Both tried to "walk it back." Gingrich later backed down from his Bain attacks, and asked everyone to stop talking bout economic inequality. Faced with his own backlash, Booker took to YouTube to and Rachel Maddow's show, to attempt to repair some damage. Apparently, it suddenly dawned on him that Romney's Bain experience is fair game, since Romney's touted his financial sector resume as his main qualification for the presidency.
Booker's problem is he laid bare a problem that a number of his fellow Democrats share. In Booker's case, the conflict is partly between his relationship with the Obama campaign, and his own relationship with private equity. Ambition factors in, too. Folks back in Newark weren't terribly surprised at Booker's defense of private equity, given that "he's someone whose been courting big money ever since he first ran for office."
Wall Street money helped fuel Booker's rise in New Jersey politics, and if rumors of Booker's ambitions to hold national office are true he'll need even more Wall Street money. That makes him no different than a lot of Democrats, including the President.
But, as I pointed out this morning, if Gingrich and Booker got themselves dragged into a conversation they cant hold, President Obama is carrying the conversation (with an assist from Vice President Biden).
… [T]he reason this is relevant to the campaign is because my opponent, Governor Romney, his main calling card for why he thinks he should be President is his business expertise. He is not going out there touting his experience in Massachusetts. He is saying, I'm a business guy and I know how to fix it, and this is his business.
And when you're President, as opposed to the head of a private equity firm, then your job is not simply to maximize profits. Your job is to figure out how everybody in the country has a fair shot. Your job is to think about those workers who got laid off and how are we paying for their retraining. Your job is to think about how those communities can start creating new clusters so that they can attract new businesses. Your job as President is to think about how do we set up a equitable tax system so that everybody is paying their fair share that allows us then to invest in science and technology and infrastructure, all of which are going to help us grow.
And so, if your main argument for how to grow the economy is I knew how to make a lot of money for investors, then you're missing what this job is about. It doesn't mean you weren't good at private equity, but that's not what my job is as President. My job is to take into account everybody, not just some. My job is to make sure that the country is growing not just now, but 10 years from now and 20 years from now.
So to repeat, this is not a distraction. This is what this campaign is going to be about — is what is a strategy for us to move this country forward in a way where everybody can succeed? And that means I've got to think about those workers in that video just as much as I'm thinking about folks who have been much more successful.
Gingrich tried to start the conversation, and Booker tried to steer it in a different direction. Mitt Romney doesn't want to talk about it, or much else for that matter. Probably no one in national politics can have this conversation, with out stepping neck-deep into their own conflicts of interest. (That's probably why not many elected officials will "go there." On the map of American politics, that area is clearly labeled "Here Be Dragons.")
But it's a conversation America desperately needs to have. Here's President Obama can lead that conversation. It sounds like he's at least moving in the right direction.

About RSS
WEEK RSS Feeds
What is RSS? Well, the simple answer is it stands for Really Simple Syndication. Technically, it's a XML specification used by news sites (and many others) across the Internet to send out their content to a rapidly growing audience.
To use RSS you'll need a RSS reader. For the Mac OS X platform, one of the most popular is NetNewsWire from Ranchero Software (now a part of NewsGator). For Microsoft Windows, SharpReader is popular. For all platforms, Firefox is widely used. But there are many, many others for OS X, MS Windows, and Linux.
