As Metamorphosis: Titian 2012 leaves the Covent Garden stage, fans of the work of Christopher Wheeldon can console themselves with this clip of the choreographer rehearsing Polyphonia. Originally part of Royal Ballet Live, the video features Christopher rehearsing the piece with artists including Leanne Benjamin, Sarah Lamb and the recently promoted Beatriz Stix-Brunell and Alexander Campbell.
Polyphonia was created in 2001 for New York City Ballet. It was most recently performed by The Royal Ballet in a triple bill with Wayne McGregor's Carbon Life and Liam Scarlett's Sweet Violets.
The next chance to see work by Christopher on the ROH stage is the one-act ballet Fool's Paradise in November. Other works by Wheeldon coming up in the 2012/13 season include an as yet untitled new commission (22 February - 14 March, in a triple bill with new works by Alexei Ratmansky and George Balanchine's Apollo) and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (15 March - 13 April).

YORK, Pa. – The York College softball team surrendered a pair of losses to Mary Washington in CAC doubleheader action on Wednesday afternoon from Spartan Stadium by scores of 4-0 and 3-0.
In game one, the Spartans (8-14, 0-4 CAC) were unable to get a run across the plate and did not record a hit in the contest until the fifth inning. Jena Ruby (Hampstead, Md./North Carroll) recorded the lone hit in the game and broke up the no hitter with a double to right center.
The Eagles (9-6, 4-0) clung to a slim 1-0 lead through four innings until breaking their lead open in the top of the fifth. UMW tallied three runs on one hit and had four runners reach base while the Spartans committed four errors in the inning.
Hannah Otterman picked up the victory and improves to 7-1 as she tossed a complete-game shutout with one hit, five strikeouts and one walk.
Sara Thacker (Ijamsville, Md./Urbana) received credit for the loss and falls to 1-3 as she went the distance, allowing four runs, only one earned run, on six hits with two strikeouts and three walks.
In the nightcap, the Spartans suffered a similar fate to game one as they could not muster up a run, but improved their hit total to six, compared to just the one they posted in the first game. Sophomore Natalie Fritz (Fayetteville, Pa./Chambersburg) led York with two hits in the game as she went 2-for-4 with a double.
Mary Washington also struggled to produce much offensive production, but managed to score three runs on six hits. Bireet Chitty led the Eagles in game two with three hits as she went 3-for-4 with an RBI.
Rachel Watts earned the win and improves to 2-0 as she tossed a five-inning shutout, allowing six hits with three strikeouts and zero walks.
Jennifer Taff (Germantown, Md./Clarksburg) suffered the loss and falls to 6-9 as she threw seven innings, allowing two runs on six hits with three strikeouts and two walks.
After earning the victory in game one, Otterman picked up the save in relief as she went two innings, surrendering zero hits with two strikeouts and two walks.
York returns to action Thursday as the Spartans welcome in neighboring non-conference foe Franklin & Marshall to Spartan Stadium. First pitch for game one is slated for 3 p.m.

Rafael Benitez insists he is ready for whatever the Chelsea job throws at him, after taking charge on another controversial day at Stamford Bridge.
Benitez was appointed on Wednesday night, hours after the unceremonious sacking of Roberto Di Matteo , but his unveiling was overshadowed by the latest episode in a turbulent season for the club.
Hours before Benitez met the media, the Football Association announced it would take no action against referee Mark Clattenburg over a Chelsea complaint that he made a racist remark to John Obi Mikel .
An FA statement said the referee had 'no case to answer'.
The verdict raised questions about Chelsea's decision to make their initial complaint public, especially in the wake of the recent John Terry race row.
Benitez insisted he would be unfazed by media controversies and was just glad to take the job, saying: 'I wasn't worried about the press. After almost two years waiting for a top side, I had the opportunity and said "Yes".'
Benitez, who will retain Terry as captain, also said he was ready for the challenge of rejuvenating Fernando Torres , the £50million striker he worked with at Liverpool.
He said: 'He's one of the important players in this team, and I'll try and improve him, like I will the other players. He is a top-class player.'

One of the reasons most often given for not investing is a lack of knowledge and understanding of the stock market. This objection can be overcome through self-education and step-by-step through the years because investors learn by investing. Classes in investing are also offered by a variety of sources, including city and state colleges, civic groups, and not-for-profit organizations, and there are numerous books aimed at the beginning investor. Start Early. Early Higher Risk Allocation. An Exemplary Egg. The idea is to select stocks across a broad spectrum of market categories. This is best achieved through an index fund. Aim to invest in conservative stocks with regular dividends, stocks with long-term growth potential, and a small percentage of stocks with better returns or higher risk potential. Certain AAA-rated bonds are also good investments for the long term, either corporate or government. Long-term U.S. Treasury bonds, for example, are safe and pay a higher rate of return than short- and mid-term bonds. Keep Costs to a Minimum.

Managing Multiple Versions of Files on One Computer?December 1st, 2011 by admin
I finally did it. I was putting it off forever, and got so frustrated dealing with all these files from various clients that are different versions that I took the five minutes necessary to download, install and configure Soxy!
Herein lies the problem: when you install the newest version of any Creative Suite program, it assumes you want to automatically open ALL files of that type in the newest version. So if a client sends you a CS4 InDesign file that you need to work on and send back, but you're using CS5.5, it will open in CS5.5, even if CS4 is loaded on your machine. This is a real problem for freelancers and anyone working in a collaborative environment.
In steps Soxy…simple in name and purpose: It allows you to "map" which application you want to have open the various file versions. It looks at the file when you double-click on it to open and says "Hey Mate, this was last saved in CS4 so let's open it in CS4…sweet as!" Editor's Note: The developer of the software is from New Zealand…that's why it talks that way. So now when a customers sends me a file, I don't have to think about it…I just double-click and it will launch the correct version of InDesign/Photoshop/Illustrator/etc. on my machine.
Before Soxy, I would be working on a file for a while then realize that I was in 5.5 and they need the file in CS3. Fun. Export From 5.5 as IDML, open in CS4, export as INX and open in CS3. Nice. And then I have to remember all the things CS3 doesn't do so I know what isn't working, like spanning heads, conditional text and more.
With Soxy I can trust that I'm working on the file in it's "native" version.
What if you don't have CS3 (or applicable version)? You can set up Soxy to ask when opening, so, at the very least, you are aware there might be a problem. On this machine I don't have CS2 loaded. Soxy will alert me and I can choose to continue, or not. If I choose to go ahead and open in CS3, I know the worst is that I have to export INX for the customer. Not the best scenario, but still better than automatically opening in the wrong version unaware.
Even though my personal experience with Soxy is with Creative Suite, it also works with Quark and other applications…not exclusive to Adobe products.
Take EPS files, for example. Even though they are a bit outdated for most workflows, they still exist. An EPS file can contain both raster and vector data so it's important to know whether to open in Illustrator or Photoshop. Opening an EPS file in Photoshop that contains vector data will rasterize everything and make things harder than if you open it in Illustrator and can still edit the vector objects. So in steps Soxy. You can configure it to know if it's an Illustrator EPS, Photoshop EPS, QuarkXPress EPS or other, and tell it how to open.
So let's say you have a logo from a customer that's an Illustrator EPS, or you get clipart from a service the same way…when you double-click without Soxy it will automatically open in Photoshop, rasterizing everything like a photo. Same with a non-illustrator EPS. Same with a Photoshop EPS that has vector information, it will open and rasterize.
Soxy to the rescue… Tell it to open Illustrator EPS files in Illustrator (I would recommend you say the same for Photoshop EPS and…well…any EPS file) and it will do that, keeping the raster and vector data as the original, ready to edit.
I've received hundreds of emails over the years from people who want to fix a low-res logo or artwork the customer sent. I ask them to send me what the customer sent and I find out that they were opening a vector EPS in Photoshop, using the default 72 ppi, and ruining the art. If they had Soxy, they could open in the correct program and get better quality results.
Soxy was developed by Kris Coppieters, a brilliant InDesign scripter and plug-in developer. He has many plug-ins I use and recommend, but we'll save that for another column. Or you can check them out on his site rorohiko.com.
Kris, and his sons, write the code for the amazing Atomic News Tools plug-in that allows newspaper and magazine paginators to upload stories, photos and ads to a website directly from InDesign. Cool!
You can get Soxy as a trial to test it out before you buy. It's a cheap $19 if you want a single copy for you and there are discounts for ten and 100 user licenses for an agency/publishing environment.
Another Editor's Note: After posting this article, I was opening an InDesign files named "Page17indd"…Soxy was smart enough to say "Eh Mate…this file doesn't have an extension, but Soxy thinks it's an InDesign File…waddaya think about that?" (I took some liberties with the Error Message). Good stuff!!

What are the symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis?
- What are the most common symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis?
- What are typical problems with muscle weakness and Myasthenia Gravis?
- Does Myasthenia Gravis cause cramping, tremors, spasms, seizures, one-sided weakness or a burning/hot feeling?
- What are the symptoms of Ocular Myasthenia Gravis?
- What are the symptoms of a Myasthenia Gravis crisis?
What are the most common symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis?
The major symptom of Myasthenia Gravis is muscle weakness, which gets worse with activity. Often, patients feel well in the morning, but as the day goes on, they become weaker. The muscle weakness usually causes symptoms of double vision and drooping eyelids (ptosis).
What are typical problems with muscle weakness and Myasthenia Gravis?
Muscle weakness typically worsens as the muscle is used. Most patients feel that rest improves the muscle strength, but this is not always the case. Sensation is normal. Weakness may affect the neck, arms, legs, and the muscles used for breathing, swallowing, or talking. If patients have severe weakness that does not respond to treatment, they may develop a constant state of weakness. Muscle shrinking (atrophy) is not part of Myasthenia Gravis, but some patients with severe weakness for many years may have some atrophy (muscle wasting). Occasionally, patients may only experience symptoms in the leg, but a doctor may perform tests to find out if there is weakness in other areas of the body. It is unlikely for MG to be present only in one area, such as a leg, and not be present elsewhere in the body. Myasthenia Gravis does not produce loss of coordination, except as related to weakness. Myasthenia Gravis can produce isolated finger weakness.
Does Myasthenia Gravis cause cramping, tremors, spasms, seizures, one-sided weakness or a burning/hot feeling?
Myasthenia Gravis does not cause true tremors. Some patients with arm weakness may have a sensation of tremor when they strain to perform activity. Some medications used to treat MG, like Prednisone and Cyclosporine, may cause tremors. The weakness of muscles can make a Myasthenic have difficulty with movement and feel uncoordinated. MG does not cause seizures, cramping, weakness only on one side of the body, burning of the tongue or bottom of feet, hot flashes (these could be related to Prednisone therapy), numbness or tingling. Mestinon frequently causes muscle spasms and twitching of the muscles. Mestinon may produce, or worsen, cramps
What are the symptoms of Ocular Myasthenia Gravis?
Symptoms of Ocular Myasthenia Gravis are drooping eyelids, double vision, visual confusion or unsteadiness. 95% of patients with Myasthenia Gravis will have drooping eyelids or double vision at some time in their illness. About 80% of patients with Ocular MG will progress to experience other symptoms. Only 10% of patients with Ocular Myasthenia Gravis will report that the symptoms and disease has remained restricted to the eye muscles. Visual problems can be helped in several ways. Eye patches eliminate double vision and lifting devices (ptosis tape or crutches) elevate the eyelids. Often Mestinon helps the strength of the eye muscles and improves drooping lids and double vision. Prednisone suppresses the immune system and often improves these symptoms, but one must be aware of the complications of this medication. About half of patients with Ocular MG do not have antibodies to the acetylcholine receptor, which is one of the markers that doctors use to diagnose MG.
What are the symptoms of a Myasthenia Gravis crisis?
A Myasthenia Gravis crisis involves several breathing difficulties (shortness of breath) due to muscle weakness. A crisis is defined as being unable to breathe to the point that one needs a ventilator, which is a breathing machine. This usually occurs over days to weeks, not suddenly, as the term suggests. The crisis is often induced by another medical condition, such as an infection.
In a crisis, the most dangerous signs are breathing and throat muscle weakness. The shortness of breath may become severe enough to require hospitalization for breathing support (ventilator), as well as treatment for the underlying infection. If the problem is not identified and treated correctly, it could lead to death. Problems with swallowing (choking and coughing frequently while eating) from throat muscle problems may lead to aspiration of food into the lungs, which will lead to pneumonia. It is important for MG patients to notify their neurologists with symptoms of shortness of breath.

Meek Mill's highly anticipated debut, "Dreams and Nightmares," got off to a rocky start this week when he found himself in handcuffs before his album release party Thursday.
According to the Philadelphia Police Department, the rapper from Philly – he's part of Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group – was detained by authorities when he was in a vehicle stopped by officers (they declined to release the cause).
He was only detained, and not charged – still, it's a drag to be late to your own party because you were chained to a seat next to the drunk tank. Ironic, given the disc's cover art is a handcuff attached to a Rolex.
"Cops just harassed and violated me last night in Philly just for being famous!" he tweeted early Thursday morning. "cops cost me a lot of money tonight .....taking pics of me like I'ma ... joke....no charges just holding."
The album, which features Rick Ross, Wale, Nas, John Legend, Mary J. Blige, Trey Songz and the Drake-assisted hit "Amen," is expected to bow in the top five with first-week sales estimates at 200,000.
As the devastation of Hurricane Sandy continues to reveal itself, the rapper, though he tweeted some harsh words toward Philly cops, was less concerned about his snafu and more preoccupied about his family in the wake of the storm. He's also not watching the numbers to see the album's performance (although the devastation hasn't halted some New Yorkers for lining up for the iPad mini).
"This storm has been crazy," Meek said in a statement. "This is my first release, and I'm supposed to be so happy for it. But the same day my album came out, I was more worried about how my family was holding out and a tree falling on my house."
"My focus wasn't on stores being closed," he continued. "I had a packed house, filled with my family, making sure they were good during this storm. I made a great album and it will sustain itself. … My fans will buy the album when they are able to."

Back in the saddle. Archive of today's temporary page follows, since there are bound to be questions and bits of advice.
!$%&@* §
When the high-tech method fails, there are always low-tech alternatives.
Thanks to an increasingly spotty host, I'm kicking it Zeldman-style today and hand-coding this in Notepad. It would seem that any files ending in
.asp are timing out, and reporting strange things.
So the easy alternative is an
index.html in my root. Which is what you're viewing now.
All this to say I'm still alive, I'm not going anywhere, and this will all be worked out shortly.
Thanks for your patience. Keep checking the archives — when things are restored, you should be able to view the rest of the site.
Since this page is ephemeral anyway §
mezzoblue + Apple. The day has come. I finally took the plunge and picked up my first Mac this week. Ever.
Here's a fun thing: prices are, as a rule, more in Canada. In this case, Apple charges a 50% premium on all its products. So for the low, low price of $2000, I just barely managed to buy the lowest-end iBook they currently ship. Fun!
To be fair, I sprung for an extra 512MB of RAM that's included in that price. So even this comparatively underpowered piece piece of sexy, sexy plastic now has more juice than my existing system.
Have I "switched"? Not a chance. Will I? Time will tell. Am I loving OS X? Why yes I am, thanks for asking.

Um, heading you all off at the pass: I have a new host in mind already, but thanks anyway! The thought is appreciated.
"I'm kicking it Zeldman-style today and hand-coding this in Notepad."
It's what I use… and I "hand-roll" my RSS Feed Zeldman-style too ;)
Congrats on the new Mac, Dave! Now that you're a bona-fide Mac owner, you can drop that odd habit that PC users seem to have: typing "MAC" in all caps. What *is* that, anyway? ;-)
Alicia: "you can drop that odd habit that PC users seem to have: typing "MAC" in all caps. What *is* that, anyway? ;-)"
Although Macs are technically PCs, we often make the distinction between the two, and so typing "MAC" in all caps just seems to be aethetically more pleasing, I guess.
It's YIN/YANG… YIN/Yang just doesn't look right ;)
Congrats on the iBook. You will not regret this. Might want to check out Kung Log http://www.kung-foo.tv/kunglog.php and … get an iSight :-)
I have been a WinPC user/technician for seven years. Last year I started design school and started using Macs. I am now a proficient Mac user/technician also, as my scholarship agreement requires me to work as a lab technician. I have spent a tremendous amount of time with OS X, and I must say that it is an incredible piece of software, immediately changing an aging, buggy G4 into a rejuvinated graphics workhorse. I am proud to say that I don't need to switch sides, I go both ways now. So take advantage of both systems, because they both have wonderful things to offer their users.
Cool! I use OS X and XP, and like both, although OS X will always get that little bit more time and affection from me. As well as everything else, Quartz text rendering beats cleartype. I'd recommend checking out NetNewsWire (http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/) too…
funny, if PC users were worried about what was more aethetically pleasing, they would be Mac users… LOL.
Anyway, Mac is a PC that runs system software developed by Apple. MAC is address protocal that is used in networks. One might come across this if one ever had to set up a router (wireless or otherwise). Anyway, it's a mostly useless fact that will only help you if a) you are setting up a network or b) you're on a game show.
LOL on the YIN/YANG deal. Hmm I wanna test something out .. Mac. <–this was typed as title caps, like M a c. If it's showing up in all caps (as it did in my first post), that proves my theory that Dave's got some kind of filter that makes us all look like Wintel users. ;-) If not, then I've just made fool of myself. LOL
Thank You! It's a pet-peeve for sure, but I hate when I see Mac written as MAC. One because, its an obvious reference to a wrong acronym, but also because its often used in all caps by someone saying something a tad bit ignorant about Apple's OS like "The MAC registry isn't accessible by your average user, I don't like using machines I can't modify."

Time Out! If You Didn't Know PC Sales Were Horrible, Then You Haven't Been Paying Attention
IDC announced awful PC industry statistics yesterday, but they should not be a surprise.
Connect the dots,
La la la la
-- Pee Wee Herman
Yesterday afternoon, market research firm IDC dropped a bomb by announcing that first-quarter PC industry unit sales fell a whopping 13.9% year-over-year.
That's bad enough to mark the worst quarterly performance since IDC started tracking the industry in 1994.
This news was surprising!
Or was it?
Because when I look back at the industry since the release of Windows 8 in October of 2012, I see nothing but bad news and worse statistics.
So riddle me this -- can you name a single positive data point regarding PC industry sales in recent memory?
See any companies guide up because of PC demand?
Any retailers unable to keep computers in stock?
Is anyone selling a kidney for a Windows 8 PC?
And then look at the negative side.
I went on to point out the following:
Last week, PC industry bulls were hit with a major shock after NPD released some critical data regarding the reception to Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows 8 following its October 26 release.
According to NPD, US Windows Device Sales fell 21% year-over-year during the initial four-week sales period. Notebook sales dropped a whopping 24%, while desktops decreased by 9%.
And during this period, just 58% of Windows buyers opted for Windows 8. The last time around, Windows 7 accounted for 83% of sales.
And how did PC sales actually shake out in Q4 of 2012?
In Q3 of that year, the quarter preceding the Windows 7 release, PC sales rose 0.5%, according to Gartner. But in Q4, PC sales rocketed up 22%. A major factor in that improvement was the easy year-over-year comparison (Q4 of 2008 was disastrous for PCs), but still -- 22% unit growth isn't bad for a relatively mature market.
IDC said they were down 6.4%.-- versus up 15.2% in Q4 of 2009 when Windows 7 was released.
Gartner said they were down 4.9% -- versus up 22% for the Windows 7 release quarter.
And again, these were on very easy year-over-year comparisons. So not only was there a new operating system, but the growth hurdle was extraordinarily low.
But wait! There's more.
On March 18, 2013 our good friends at IDC told us that PC shipments were weak in February.
Take it from them:
"Based on our latest quarterly figures, global PC shipments were expected to decline by 7.7% in the first quarter as vendors and the supply chain work through the Windows 8 transition," said Loren Loverde, Program Vice President, Worldwide PC Trackers at IDC. "However, our February monthly data suggest that we could see a drop touching double-digits in the first quarter and a mid-single-digit decline in the second quarter before we see any recovery in the second half of the year. Even getting to positive growth in the second half of 2013 will take some attractive new PC designs and more competitive pricing relative to tablets and other products."
So yes, Q1 was disappointing, but no one should be surprised at that based on the enormous wealth of readily available information that indicated that PC sales were horrendous.So please folks, ignore the sensationalist headlines that imply that the drop in PC demand is some kind of shocker.
In fact, I may be going long Microsoft in the near future simply because people actually seem freaked out about this well-telegraphed "disaster."
Now, let's talk about why.
PCs are facing two big problems.
The first is the mobile device boom, which includes tablets like the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPad and Google (GOOG:NASDAQ) Android devices, as well as alt-notebook devices like Chromebooks.
(See: The PC Isn't Dead, It's Just Gone 'Ultramobile')
These devices are functional enough to handle most people's modern computing needs such as using Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) or watching movies on Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX).
These devices are also relatively cheap compared to decent laptops, and they're new. New is fun. New is sexy. New is worth talking about. new is worth spending money on.
And then there's the other elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about: "toasterization" (see: My Apple iMac Is Starting to Look Like a Toaster), which is my semi-nonsensical way of saying that PCs are now basically household appliances with zero sex appeal.
Twenty-five years ago, people who bought computers were specifically interested in the computers themselves. That audience was excited for every technological development in the industry and was pumped to upgrade.
But now PCs are mass market and function mostly as conduits to access what the general public really values (Facebook, Spotify, Twitter, Gmail, etc); they're the equivalent of basic household appliances.
Who needs a fancy computer these days? I'd say people doing graphic design, video editing, heavy gaming, stuff like that.
For everyone else, a computer just has to turn on and have a functioning Internet connection.
So why buy a new one?

Vehicle Review
Last year\'s entry level X5\'s are getting new engines for 2011, but don\'t worry, it\'s defiantly a good thing. The new single-turbo twin-scroll 3.0L inline-six cylinder engine will be known as the xDrive35i, and the new twin-turbo 4.4L V-8 will be the xDrive50i. The xDrive30i and xDrive48i are no longer in production. Performance only gets better from here on out with the 35i\'s new-found power and torque at 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet, which was brought up from 260 horsepower and 225 pound-feet. The 50i is sure to make your foot feel a little heavier as its running with the engine of the X6 xDrive50i, a twin-turbo v8 that\'s good for 400 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. Both new engines are coupled with an exciting new 8-speed automatic transmission.
The 2011 BMW X5 now comes in five available trim levels starting with the xDrive35i at $46,675.00 for the base model. The xDrive35i Premium is next in the line-up for $52,475.00 and includes 19" wheels, leather seating, privacy glass and USB and iPod integration. Then we have the xDrive35i Sport Activity, which comes in at $54,975.00 and boasts 20" wheels, sport-styled seating and a darkener trim for the headliner as well as around the windows. The xDrive35d, a well-received diesel model, starts at just $52,175.00 and gets no changes for this model year. Trailing it\'s siblings at the end of the line we have the xDrive50i with a sticker price at a whopping $59,275.00. Unfortunately, neither the 35d nor the 50i will be graced with the addition of separate trim levels this time around. Also available for X5 lovers comes a special something from the "M" family -- the X5 M. Born in 2009, the X5 M starts at a hefty $86,375.00 and sees no changes for the new year.
As well as new trims, the X5 also got some new styling for 2011. The plastic front fenders now run flush with the full-width and newly painted front bumper skin, which now has larger apertures and a matte-finish skid plate lower trim piece. New headlamps feature LED corona rings that serve as daylight runners, and the fog lamps were repositioned to sit higher and more inboard, giving the front end a sleeker look altogether. Silver-contrast trim rings have been replaced with body colored trim surroundings. At the other end of the X5 we see that the bumper cap has been reshaped to better match the look of the one up front and was also given tailpipe surrounds, a silver matte-finished skid plate, new exhaust tips and redesigned chrome-trimmed tail-lamps. Also, Active Cruise Control, complete with full-stop capability, and lane-departure warning systems are available on the X5 for the first time.

This Toyota Sienna is Black with a Light Gray Leather seat trim. The MSRP on this car does not reflect the selling price, please call or e-mail today for pricing details.
Vehicle Review
The 2011 Toyota Sienna is completely redesigned for the new model year, with two engine choices now available-- a new 187 horsepower I4 as well as the carryover from last year, the 265 horsepower 3.5L V6. Both engines have the new 6-speed automatic transmission, which replaces the old 5-speed, and are built on the same platform as before.
The new Sienna is a bit wider and came out an inch shorter altogether. Hard work was put into improving the handling and give it a more sport-like feel overall while still keeping it as quiet an redefined as the previous model.
The Sienna is offered up in five trim levels: the base, LE, SE, XLE and Limited. Looking better than ever on the outside, the inside isn\'t too shabby either. Options are grouped into packages, and they vary based on the selected trim level and the buying region.
The most notable highlights across the board include such amenities as xenon headlights, rain-sensing wipers, adaptive cruise control, rear-seat DVD entertainment system with a large screen that can be split to display two different sources that can be shown at the same time and a navigation system with a back-up camera.
The LE and XLE come in both seven- and eight-passenger configurations; the base and Limited are seven-passenger only and the SE is eight-passenger only. All trims come with front-wheel drive while the LE, XLE and Limited can also be had with all-wheel drive.
The Sienna\'s ride quality is plush, and handling is competent in all versions. The SE, due to its recalibrated suspension, provides more agile handling with a somewhat firmer but still comfortable ride quality.
The Sienna XLE trim features a unique metallic gray grille insert, power liftgate, sunroof, tow prep package, three-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, wood grain interior trim, a power driver seat, heated front seats and auto-up/down power windows. The AWD version of the XLE also comes with second-row lounge seats that feature pop-up footrests.

Vehicle Review
The 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser runs on a 5.7L V8 engine which produces up to 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque. The engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and a full-time AWD system that comes with both high- and low-range gearing abilities. Both on- and off-road capabilities come more enhanced with the edition of Toyota\'s Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), which automatically stiffens or loosens the front and rear antiroll bars to adapt to various driving conditions. This allows for less body roll when cornering on pavement and greater wheel articulation (travel) for navigating bumps and ruts after the road ends. The Land Cruiser\'s interior is about as refined as they come with high-quality materials and tight fit and finish. The cabin can accommodate up to eight passengers, including the third row which is really only suitable for children because of the low seat height and cramped quarters. Access to the back row is a breeze via the one-touch tumble-forward second-row seats. Middle-row occupants get a bit more space as well as slide and recline adjustment seating abilities. Most of the extra cost dealer options are bundled into the pricey Upgrade package that includes a rear spoiler, a rear-seat entertainment system, a navigation system with real-time traffic, a back-up camera, interior wood trim, heated second-row seats and a center console cooler box. The navigation system and rear spoiler, however, can be ordered by themselves as stand-alone options. With everything in place, luggage space comes to 16 cubic feet -- about the same as a midsize car\'s trunk. The third-row seats do not fold flat, nor are they removable. Instead, they simply fold up against the sides of the cargo bay. Consequently, the maximum cargo capacity is limited to only 82 cubic feet, a small number for such a large SUV.

'Rails Girls', a worldwide series of workshops that aims to bridge the gender divide in technology by giving a first approach to web application development, was recently held in DERI, NUIG, Galway.This approach is facilitated by the Ruby on Rails framework, so that it can be grasped easily even by those with no prior programming experience.
The European Commission's ISA programme, led by DERI's former eGovernment Unit Leader Dr. Vassilios Peristeras, has defined a set of common Core Vocabularies , which will facilitate the provision of cross-border and cross-sector eGovernment services. These Core Vocabularies are simplified, reusable, and extensible data models that capture the fundamental characteristics of an entity in a context-neutral way. The current specification contains three core vocabularies describing business, location and person.

The Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) at NUI Galway today (Wednesday, 13 January) announced a three-year "Enterprise of the Future" technology project, supported by Cisco.
Linked Data on the Web (LDOW2010) - a WWW 2010 workshop
LDOW2010 follows the successful LDOW workshops at WWW2008 in Beijing and at WWW2009 in Madrid. While the two previous workshops in the series focused respectively on the publication of Linked Data, and on Linked Data application architectures, linking algorithms and Web data fusion, the LDOW2010 workshop will have a broader focus.
1st Workshop on the Multilingual Semantic Web at WWW2010
Although knowledge processing on the Semantic Web is inherently language-independent, human interaction with semantically structured and linked data will remain inherently language-based as this will be done preferably by use of text or speech input – in many different languages. Semantic Web development will therefore be increasingly concerned with knowledge access to and generation in/from multiple languages, i.e., in:

|1907 Wedding Ernest Simpson-Cordelia Cook
You can't see the entire item as it is on some kind of grey mat which is very dirty and torn at the corners. I've made copies to share with my siblings but thought I'd post it on Olive Tree Genealogy blog because either my mother or grandmother recorded the names of almost everyone in the photo! She didn't always use first names; perhaps she didn't know them. I did some research to find out who they were and any that I found I've noted their first name in brackets.
I knew several of the individuals as they were my grandmother's parents and siblings. But many were unknown to me so having the names is important. Many of these individuals left England for Canada. One went to Australia and several remained in Kent England.
Perhaps someone will recognize an ancestor or two:
Middle row (standing): Mr. Cook (Henry, the father of Cordelia), Mrs. Cook (Rose Dugwell), my great grandfather David Simpson
Front row (seated): Alice Riches, Lillian Simpson (my grandmother's sister)
Middle row (standing): David Simpson (my great grandfather), Mrs. D. Simpson (Sarah nee Stead, my great grandmother), Mrs. Simpson (Sarah nee Page, my great great grandmother), Edith Cook (Cordelia's sister - she left England for Canada)
Next row (seated): Ernest Simpson (my grandmother's brother and the groom), Cordelia Cook (the bride)
Front row (seated): My grandmother Ruth Simpson (emigrated to Canada), her brother Sydney Simpson (also settled in Canada), Rhoda Cook
Middle row: Sarah Simpson nee Page, Emily Grant, Edith Portice, Mrs. Giles
Front row: Cordelia Cook (she and Ernest Simpson settled in Canada), Edith Cook (Cordelia's sister), Mrs. Coley

Boeing's Houston-based space exploration division unveiled its first spacecraft, the CST-100, today in Clear Lake.
The spacecraft, to be launched at least initially aboard an Atlas-5 rocket, is designed to offer safe, reliable and low-cost access to low-Earth orbit.
Although this is a private effort, development of this and SpaceX's Dragon and Sierra Nevada's Dream Chaser spacecraft are being funded in large measure by NASA's commercial space program. Through 2014 NASA is expected to have provided about $600 million to Boeing for the development of the CST-100.
Today, led by Chris Ferguson, the last space shuttle commander who now directs crew and mission operations, reporters had a chance to see a high-fidelity mock-up of the vehicle and crawl around inside.
Here's a video showing a little bit of the interior of the spacecraft, which is configured for five people but could carry as many as seven people into orbit. Yes, it's a tight fit.
If all goes well Boeing will conduct a test flight of the spacecraft in 2016, and carry its first NASA astronauts to orbit in 2017. Although the spacecraft will be flown from Cape Canaveral, to date CST-100 has been very much a Houston affair.
After the space shuttle program ended two years ago many of Boeing's shuttle people transitioned to the CST-100, and about 80 percent of the design and development work has been done in Houston.
NASA's hope is that commercial providers will be able to fly astronauts into orbit, freeing it to focus on the development of rockets and spacecraft to fly astronauts deeper into the solar system, beyond the moon.
So, the commercial providers are talking a good game. But how long do you think it will be before America has its own ride to space?

The Duke of Cambridge's time as a Search and Rescue pilot in the RAF officially ended, it was reported today. The Duke, who today took part in engagements alongside brother Prince Harry commemorating the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, is yet to reveal his next move.
Prince William has been a search and rescue pilot for the last three years after deciding to take a secondment from the Blues & Royals. Because he wasn't allowed to go on active service due to his position in line to the throne – the plan of taking a secondment to the RAF was a way of allowing the Duke to lead a relatively normal working life.
An announcement is yet to be made on what the Duke is planning to do next in terms of a career, though there are whispers that he is to take up some form of administrative position back in the Blues & Royals, where he holds the rank of Captain, like his brother.
The end of his time in the RAF also means an end to his time living in Anglesey. The Duke will be vacating his rented cottage on the island and moving back to Kensington Palace where he and his wife and son's new apartments are also ready for them to move in to.
It is unlikely that the Duke would willingly give up his military career at this stage to pursue more royal engagements. It is always known that he prefers the normality that regular working life offers, though he does know one day he'll need to step up to a full-time royal life.
We expect an announcement on the Duke's career choice in the coming days.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Jacksonville's Karson Tuck hit a go ahead three-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning to lift the Dolphins to a 3-1 win against the Lady Bisons Friday afternoon in the semifinals of the Atlantic Sun Championship at Cyrill Stadium.
Lipscomb will play the winner of No. 5 Mercer and No. 4 Campbell, currently in progress, at 4:30 p.m. central time in the consolation bracket. The game is an elimination game.
Lipscomb ace pitcher Whitney Kiihnl tossed five near-perfect innings to start the contest giving up only one hit. She encountered trouble in the sixth after allowing a leadoff walk. Following a pop out, Kiihnl gave up a single to left field placing runners on first and second.
Tuck connected on a long home run over the left field fence to give Jacksonville the 3-1 advantage.
Lipscomb scored in the first following leadoff singles by Breanna Thurman and Kiihnl. The runners moved over a base on a groundout by Caroline Mason. After a strike out by Mollie Mitchell, Courtney Billington delivered an infield single to third base driving in Thurman.
Billington has driven in both of Lipscomb's runs in the tournament. She is also the only Lady Bisons starter that has not yet struck out.
Lipscomb notched three hits over the final six frames with all three hits coming from Mackenzie Tucker who finished three-of-three on the afternoon.
Jacksonville pitcher Sarah Sigrest, an All-Conference first team selection, pitched a complete game allowing one earned run of six hits to improve to 25-5.
Kiihnl dropped to 20-10 as she gave up three earned runs on three hits. She struck out seven and walked five.
The winner of tonight's matchup advances to Saturday's championship game against Jacksonville. Lipscomb would need to beat the Dolphins twice to capture the tournament title and an auto-bid to the NCAA tournament.
All Atlantic Sun Softball Championship games will be video streamed for free on ASun.TV.

The District 1 county commission seat, which includes Hillsboro, Durham, and Lehigh.
County Clerk Tina Spencer said no one filed by the noon deadline Monday.
In order to be nominated at the primary, the write in candidates must receive votes from at least 5 percent of all registered voters in the district or about 136 votes.
A blank line will be on the primary in November if no one receives the votes in August. It then goes to the person with the most votes.
"For both the general election and primary there will be a chance for residents to write in a candidate," Spencer said.
Spencer said this is the first time she's experienced an open position like this.
District 1 County Commissioner Roger Fleming said Thursday he did not plan to file for re-election.
"I've learned a lot but because of personal things in my life I feel like someone else might be a better fit for the position," he said. "At this time running is not in my best interest."
Other positions up for election on Aug. 5 all township clerks and precinct committee persons.

2011 Treasurer's Report
This is the first full year in which the APNA fiscal year is the same as the calendar year – prior to this, finances were reported on a July to June fiscal year. The financial statements from the fiscal year (calendar year) are in Appendix E. These were prepared by the external auditing firm of Haymaker & Associates. The audit was reviewed by the Audit Committee, which is chaired by Avni Cirpili. The Audit Committee report was then provided to the APNA Board of Directors. The results of the external audit state that the APNA financial statements provide an accurate representation of the APNA finances. These reports are consolidated to show the complete APNA financial position to include the APNA Foundation. During the year APNA and the Foundation's funds are accounted for separately. The former are under the supervision of the APNA Board of Directors and the latter are under the supervision the Foundation Board of Trustees. The results show a total positive return from operations of $297,547. Of this amount, $298,818 is attributed to APNA and $(1,271) is attributed to APNF.
In addition to the statements discussed above, we have prepared the following chart reflecting the revenue, expense and net operating results from July 1, 2004 through December 31, 2010.
The Board of Directors functions as the investment committee for APNA funds. It utilizes the services of an investment manager who invests the funds in accordance with the APNA investment policy. The investment policy calls for a diversification of funds with moneys invested in cash, equities, bonds and precious metals.
The following chart shows the results of APNA investments from 2004 through 2011. APNA investments have returned a total of $322,337 over that period.
It is my honor to serve as APNA Treasurer and I appreciate the support of staff, the Board and the members who make these positive results possible.
Respectfully submitted,
Rick Pessagno
APNA Treasurer

Team Heads to Princeton with Wave of Momentum
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—After concluding an impressive regular season with a third-place finish at the CCSU Mini Meet last weekend, the Yale men's cross country team will head to Princeton to compete at the annual Ivy League Heptagonal Championships (Heps) on Saturday.
The 8K race at Heps—perhaps the most anticipated event of the Ivy League cross country season—will provide the Elis with a chance to outshine some of their greatest rivals on the league's biggest stage. The Bulldogs' toughest competition should be Columbia (ranked 10th in the country and first in the Northeast Region), Princeton (15th nationally, first in the Mid-Atlantic Region) and Harvard (21st nationally, fifth in the Northeast). Dartmouth—which has spent time in the national top 30 this season and is currently ranked sixth in the Northeast—should also make its presence felt on Saturday. Yale is currently ranked seventh in the Northeast and will be seeking to improve its regional seeding by outrunning its competitors at Heps. The Elis have already finished ahead of Brown, Cornell and Penn at various races this season.
"We have progressed really well from our first meet of the year, and I feel that we have a chance to mix it up with a couple of the teams ahead of us," said Head Men's Cross Country Coach Paul Harkins. "If we can do that, we will be close to jumping onto the national stage, which is the ultimate goal. This meet is one step along the way towards that goal."
The Bulldogs appear to be in a good position, as four of the team's top seven finishers from last year's Heps are returning this season with the hope of improving on last season's sixth-place finish. Overall, six of the 12 Elis who competed at Heps last season will be running on Saturday. The Bulldogs' squad should be in top shape, as the team rested several of its top runners at last weekend's race.
Likely leading the way will be sophomore Alex Conner, sophomore Kevin Dooney, junior John McGowan and freshman James Randon. Conner and McGowan have finished in the Elis' top three in all four races in which they have competed this season, with Conner placing first on the team at both the Harvard-Yale meet and Iona Meet of Champions. Conner finished second on the team at last year's Heps, running a solid 24:42.1 in the process. Dooney, however, has perhaps been the team's most dominant runner as of late, finishing first on the team at each of the last two meets at which he has competed: the Paul Short Invitational and Pre-National Invitational. Randon, meanwhile, finished second on the team behind Conner at both Harvard-Yale and the Iona Meet. All four runners have set 8K personal records this season, and Dooney has actually set personal record times on two separate occasions.
Those four will be joined by the trio of freshman Andre Ivankovic, junior Isa Qasim and sophomore Duncan Tomlin, who seem to have secured their spots among Yale's regular top seven. In addition to finishing in the team's top seven in all four races in which he has ran (including in the top five three times), Tomlin set a personal record earlier in the year at Paul Short. Qasim, meanwhile, will enter this weekend's race with plenty of confidence following his fifth-place team finish at last season's Heps.
Looking to break into the team's top seven and potentially even score for the Bulldogs will be junior Alec Borsook, senior Michael Cunetta, freshman Dan Grosvenor, junior Tom Harrison and senior team captain Ryan Laemel.
Harkins believes his team is more than ready for the challenge ahead.
"The Heps Championship is a fantastic meet where every team brings their A-game," he said. "I'm excited to see ours match up with some of our rivals."
Saturday's race will begin at 11:00 a.m. and will be followed by an awards ceremony at 1:00 p.m. An interactive map of Saturday's course is available here. Results will be available on www.yalebulldogs.com following the conclusion of the race.
