Happy 35th birthday, Walkman
- The Sony Walkman turns 35 on Tuesday
- The cassette player was retired in 2010, but Walkman mp3 players remain
(CNN) — It was 35 years ago Tuesday that Sony, not Apple, revolutionized the way we listen to music.
The Walkman, a portable cassette player that, for the first time, let us take our music with us without bothering our neighbors, hit the market on July 1, 1979.
See kids baffled by a Walkman
Today, it's all about Apple's iPod. But in its heyday, the Walkman was as synonymous with portable music players as Kleenex became to tissue and Xerox was to copy machines.
Bowing to digital reality, Sony retired the cassette Walkman in 2010.
Check out our gallery for a look at some of the most iconic Walkman models through the years. What are some of your Walkman memories? Let us know in the comments.

It's great that the Journal Sentinel ran a front page article on the FIRST Wisconsin Robotics competition.
FIRST - For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology - is a nonprofit group that promotes careers in science, technology and engineering to young people.
Three local teams were recognized in the Journal's piece, Thomas More High School, Marquette University High School and a team composed of the three Waukesha public high schools.
But the local paper didn't even mention that students from 5 MPS high schools participated:
- Team 1268-Washington High School, MATC, GE Volunteers, Rockwell Automation and United Wtaer.
- Team 1675-Milwaukee Tech and Rufus King, Rockwell, GE, George Mosher, Milwaukee School of Engineering and Milwaukee Rotary
- Team 2547-Bay View and Genesis High School, NASA, Rockwell Automation, GE Volunteers, Hayes Bicycle, Nighthawk Radiology.
There are 3500 MPS students currently enrolled in pre-engineering programs, more than in any school district in the nation!
Yet, even Milwaukee's Mayor, Tom Barrett, failed to recognize the participation of MPS students and high schools in his official Proclamation supporting the FIRST competition.
According to MPS officials, their student "were crushed" by the lack of official recognition from the MJS and Mayor.
It's great that the MJS recognized that Milwaukee Vincent girl's basketball team won the state division 1 championship for the 2nd year in a row. And it is understandable that it reports on disturbances that break out at some of the high schools, even if such events are relatively infrequent.
But how about recognizing MPS's high achieving students and the faculty, staff and private and public sector partners who are helping these young people achieve?

An ad agency called Womenkind just opened its doors in New York City, and its goal is to "use a network of women to conceptualize and execute ads designed to appeal to females." Apparently 85% of all brand purchases are made by women, even though women aren't influenced by "traditional brand messages." Womenkind is calling its freelance staff "mavens" and its handpicked focus groups "muses.' This all sounds like unfortunately fruity business-speak b.s., but at least the company plans to employ a mostly female staff and to give 5% of its profits to help disadvantaged women. [AdWeek]

During the Thor/Captain America panel of Comic-Con 2010, Marvel Studios President of Production confirmed that they had reacquired the film rights to the Punisher franchise. It was later re-confirmed that Marvel had both Punisher and Blade back and were interested in bringing them back in the screen, but there's still been nothing on the film front from either franchise since 2008's Punisher: War Zone.
While Marvel Studios isn't officially developing any Punisher feature films, the character has returned with a new (unofficial) live-action short film starring someone who's officially played the character of Frank Castle in one of the three films.
On the evening of Saturday, July 14, 2012, actor Thomas Jane and comic book artist Tim Bradstreet hosted their own panel to talk about their comic book related projects, but the highlight of the presentation was something no one saw coming: a Punisher short film made by them, starring Thomas Jane and Ron Perlman. Below is the official panel description.
RAW Studios: Past, Present, and Future— Thomas Jane (The Punisher 2004), and Tim Bradstreet (The Punisher Max), take you through the paces on their old and new projects. Topics include the Dark Country GN and the upcoming new books The Lycan and Alien Worlds. Guest panelists James Daly (Bad Planet), and Greg Staples (Bad Planet V2) join the fray. Also video and news on RAW's upcoming feature film western, A Magnificent Death from a Shattered Hand. Plus a major video game announcement AND a very special surprise for friends of Frank! Talk with Q&A, moderated by Jane and Bradstreet.
The special surprise was the called "Dirty Laundry," a film that brings Jane back into the shoes of Frank Castle for the first time in eight years (since playing the character in 2004's Punisher), a man who lost it all and decided to use his unique skillset to punish evildoers. It's brutally violent and entirely in line with the character. The reveal of the Punisher logo (the new design by Bradstreet) on the shirt at the end was very effective.
Bradstreet's done many comic covers for the Punisher books and worked on posters for both Jane's Punisher movie and War Zone. He also served as a concept art on Blade II.
After Ray Stevenson's portrayal of the character in Lexi Alexander's Punisher: War Zone failed miserably among critics and at the box office, Lionsgate gave up on the franchise and Marvel got the property back.
The timing of Jane's fan film is interesting since Marvel Studios is proceeding with 'Phase Two' of their franchise, beginning with Iron Man 3, followed by Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy. With Ant-Man coming as well, where does that leave The Punisher? And could Jane play Frank Castle again?

Gunmen kill Nigeria women giving polio vaccines
KANO, Nigeria — Gunmen suspected of belonging to a radical Islamic sect shot and killed at least nine women who were taking part in a polio vaccination drive in northern Nigeria on Friday, highlighting the religious tensions surrounding the inoculation of children in one of the few nations where the disease still remains endemic.
The attack shocked residents of Kano, the largest city in Nigeria's predominantly Muslim north, where women often go from house to house to carry out the vaccination drives because Muslim families feel more comfortable allowing them inside their homes than men.
It also signaled a new wave of anger targeting immunization drives in Nigeria, where clerics once claimed the vaccines were part of a Western plot to sterilize young girls.
The first attack Friday morning happened in Kano's Hotoro Hayi neighborhood and saw gunmen arrive by three-wheel taxis and open fire. At least eight female vaccinators died in that attack, witnesses said.
The second attack, in the Unguwa Uku neighborhood, saw four people killed, witnesses said. The witnesses spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of angering the radical sect known as Boko Haram.
However, confusion surrounded the death toll, as Kano state police spokesman Musa Magaji Majia said the attacks killed only nine people — all of them women taking part in the drive and giving the oral vaccine drops to children. A local hospital later said it received only two corpses from the Unguwa Uku attack, with four others wounded.
Definitive death tolls for such attacks in Nigeria are difficult to obtain. Police and military forces in Nigeria routinely downplay such casualties, and families quickly bury the dead before the next sunset per local Muslim tradition.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland condemned the killing and injuring of health workers in Nigeria.
"They were engaged in life-saving work, trying to vaccinate children," she told reporters. "Any violence that prevents children from receiving basic life-saving vaccines is absolutely unacceptable wherever it happens."
Though police said they had no immediate suspects in the attacks, witnesses said they believed that Boko Haram had been behind the shootings.
In December, militants in Pakistan killed at least nine workers on a polio vaccine drive. Militants there have accused health workers of acting as spies for the U.S., alleging the vaccine is intended to make Muslim children sterile. Those rumors only grew after it was revealed a Pakistani doctor ran a fake vaccination program to help the CIA track down and kill al-Qaida founder Osama bin Laden.

Post subject: Shoulder injury from windsurfing
Took the day off work last Tuesday to sail the Hatchery with some friends. Pretty windy. I was fully powered on a 3.7 most of the day then rigged up a 4.7 for an early evening session. Felt a small pop in the front/top of my left shoulder while sailing along. No crash involved, just over-use. Called it a day shortly afterwards. It's been pretty sore ever since.
I am going to get it checked out by my doctor as soon as I can. Hoping I didn't tear a rotator cuff or something like that. I would hate to get knocked out of action for the rest of the summer.
Anyone else have experience with a windsurfing shoulder injury from over-use?

I have not had shoulder problems directly related to windsurfing, but have had first the RH and now the LH shoulders become sore from skiing. In both cases I woke up sore, could not remember a particular incident that may have caused it, so it's probably an overuse injury (pole planting!?) Took a year and a half to really feel better, and I didn't seek therapy because the injury does not affect skiing or windsurfing, that is, I don't notice it when doing either, nor is there really any worsening afterwards. It only bothers me when trying to do military presses or bench presses, or when I move it in certain ways such as signalling to make a left turn on my bike, so in that case I turn my palm backwards to raise my arm and no pain. I'm sure Iso will weigh in, and hopefully some physicians as well.

While jibing at the Delta, I felt a pop at the front of my left shoulder while pulling on the boom. The pop was accompanied by the sensation something was being pulled down through that bicep. I might describe the whole several-second sensation as cool taffy being pulled until it pulled into two pieces. It didn't hurt, so I kept sailing.
I also knew exactly what it was, because it had happened before, MUCH more dramatically, on the right shoulder/arm. That time I was pulling with all my might on a boulder, when I heard and felt a very loud POP! in the front of that shoulder and felt something like a knotted cord/rope being yanked down the middle of that bicep. It hurt only very slightly and for only a few seconds, but the noise and sensation followed the next day by a lightly aching upper arm sent me to the doctor.
The sports physician I consulted (after my Air Force doctor accused me of malingering) walked into the room where I sat shirtless, and pronounced from 10 feet away that I had severed my long bicep tendon's upper head. i.e., my longer bicep muscle had ripped loose from my shoulder and was now balled up in the bottom half of my upper arm, leaving a gap between bicep and shoulder when I "make a muscle".
Any of that sound familiar?
Back then (>25 years ago) they didn't repair them; now they do. The doc said its primary impact would be on screwing (that's been a good conversation starter for decades now). i.e., my supination -- driving a screw -- is impaired.
Once a season, if that, the right one may ache perceptibly after a big day. But, with today's progress, I'd
getting it repaired. If there were any risks, I may pass, as it has not been a problem in WSing or in the gym.
Even if that's not what yours felt or sounded or looks like, I'd get it evaluated. The injury may matter, it will be much more easily repaired now than much later, and when my right tendon exploded it took out other shoulder structures that got repaired when that shoulder got problematic decades later. Left untreated, severed muscles/tendons can, over time, atrophy to the extent that repair is difficult or impractical.
My torn rotator cuff years earlier, from a motorcycle crash on that shoulder on hardpack desert salt flats (the Space Shuttle landing strip in New Mexico), felt very different. It gave me very severe pain for weeks and hurt like hell for months. It didn't need surgery, but took years to heal fully. The rotator cuff is so complex that how it might feel or behave varies widely, but I'd think you'd be talking about PAIN, not an ache, if that were the case.

Lots of sailors get tears from windsurfing. Usually, it's from repeated wear and tear, but occasionallly, a catastrophic injury can occur when you're holding on while twisted and out of balance.
But each case is individual. See Doc, get second opinion if you want.

Post subject: shoulder injury
I did in my shoulder years ago wave sailing in Maui. At the time they diagnosed partial rotator cuff tear and I wore a sling for 12 weeks. Over the years I have had periods of not much pain, and periods of pretty debilitating pain. Generally, it only hurt if I raised my arm above shoulder level. Steriod shots worked REALLY well, taking the pain away for 6 months to a year. They are not a long-term solution though, and I finally got the repair done surgically. As the others mention, I also had a bicep tendon relocation done. This part was easy, no strength or range of motion loss.
It did take a year to regain full strength and mobility although I was sailing after about 6 months. It has been 2 years now and I have no pain and can sail hard (knock on wood - I leave for the Gorge in two days!)
Good luck. Definately get it checked as you can do a lot of damage if you keep sailing hard with a partial tear.

Some instructors will tell you to roll your shoulders forward to get more distance from your rig. This opens you up to ""possible""" rotator cuff impingement. where your cotator cuff gets bruised/pinched or cut between your shoulder bone and your arm....
Been there done that.

Ditto ... and the pain is referred to the outer upper bicep, in the meaty upper arm just below the outer end of the shoulder, so it fools us. If you feel pain there while sailing, drop that shoulder (the opposite of rolling it forward). If that shuts off the pain, that's a good sign of what Lawler's talking about. The first treatment is a few months of shoulder stabilization/rotator cuff exercises as directed by a physical therapist. If that fails, impingement may be sufficiently chronic to require some arthroscopic correction (acromioplasty) to prevent more serious damage.

So I have been to my primary care physician and the physical therapist now. The diagnosis is confirmed: injury to the bicep tendon and rotator cuff.
The good news is I still have pretty good range of motion and muscle strength, so they don't think I have any major tears. Seems to be mainly inflammation with the possibility of some small tears.
The bad news is the PT told me 6-8 weeks healing time, so I am going to miss a good chunk of the season.
I am supposed to ice to reduce swelling; take it easy and don't do anything strenuous that might aggravate or reinjure the area; and do some strengthening exercises to get blood flowing to the area to stimulate healing.
Hopefully, I'll still be able to get some sailing days in in the Fall before the weather turns.

P.S. I usually sail with :
1) my boom about chin high
2) seat harness
3) double-overhand grip
4) really hanging off the boom
I suspect this puts me in a very similar position to what LAWLER describes above. When I get back out there I'll have to tinker with those variables to see if that changes the stress on the shoulder joint.

Jenny is in perpetual search for easy, weeknight recipes to attempt to feed her family. When they balk, she just eats more.
Lots of big doings in my kitchen, because, thanks to Riki Shore I am now up to speed on a new method for making meringue cookies. This matters a lot because you never know when the urge will overtake you to stand in your kitchen flipping out lovely little flowers of baked goods all night long while other people tell you about the travails of their days.
I was on the search for a super quick cookie that I could add to my list of white desserts for an event at the synagogue where I have spent the balance of my year, dragging baked goods with me, due to the incipient's bat mizvah.
These Chewy Chocolate Meringues can be considered a weeknight recipe, because the ingredients are few and the steps pretty minimal. But they do bake in a low, slow oven for a good 40 minutes per batch so you need to plan for that.
I was excited to learn that these cookies are made by cooking the sugar and egg whites together into a syrupy sugar before throwing them into the mixer for whipping into stiff peaks. This is apparently the Italian method and I find it very exciting. Once those lovely peaks have formed, you toss in your chips, pull out your cookie scoop and plop these bad boys out on some parchment paper-covered sheets and cook on.
I made these twice and they turned out a bit differently the second go around, for reasons I am not totally clear about. The first batch were snow white and, as the author suggested, delightful crunchy on the outside, with a chewy center. I used mini chips, which offered tiny bits of chocolate surprise that, if you were not careful, fell into your laps as you bit into the delicate sounding cookie.
The second time I used standard sized chips, which made the chocolate more pronounced. My cookies were tawny colored with bits of caramel here and there, much like the author's photo. (No cute little pedestals, however. Or are they sugared ottomans? Unclear.)
The one difference with my second attempt is that while cooking the whites and sugar, I did not watch and stir as carefully as I should have, resulting in a few bits of scrambled stuff; this may or may not have to do with the fact that I have become obsessed with making a short gimlet and might have been shaking some ice at the time. I just can't vouch. In any event, they were easily strained away.
This recipe yields between three and four dozen, so the cooking takes a bit of time. They can be removed easily with gentle hands, so cool are they from that low oven. People will flock around you to eat them warm, so if you have a chore you'd like fulfilled "No cookie for you until you hang up that backpack/sweep the porch/cut some mint in the garden" call it in.

CHICAGO, Jan 12, (Reuters) - First Quantum Minerals Ltd's (FM.TO) hostile C$5.1 billion ($5.17 billion) takeover bid for Inmet Mining Corp (IMN.TO) took a tense turn on Saturday, as the Canadian base metal miner delivered a letter to its rival suggesting Inmet may be trying to scuttle the bid, which is now in the hands of shareholders.
The letter, addressed to Inmet's board chairman David Beatty, said several large shareholders of Inmet had approached First Quantum to express concern that the smaller company could be shopping around a minority interest in its Cobre Panama copper project in Central America.
"These concerns are apparently based upon discussions with a senior executive officer of Inmet," said First Quantum Chief Executive Philip Pascall in the letter released to the public.
Inmet holds an 80-percent stake interest in the Panamanian project, which is one of the world's largest undeveloped copper deposits. The company has already sold a precious metal stream to help fund the $6.2 billion development.
By selling an additional stake in Cobre Panama, Inmet would make itself less appealing as a takeover target, said Pascall, implying the move was tantamount to sabotage.
Beatty described the letter as "plainly hostile and counterproductive" in a statement released on Saturday.
The company and the board "are engaged in a thorough and rigorous process to evaluate First Quantum's offer and to explore the full range of all potential alternatives that may provide greater value to Inmet shareholders, including those activities that have been commenced prior to First Quantum's bid," Beatty said.
First Quantum mailed its C$72-a-share offer directly to Inmet's shareholders on Wednesday, starting the clock on a takeover that would create one of the world's largest and fastest-growing copper-focused producers
The latest offer, first outlined in mid-December, follows an initial bid of C$62.50 put forward in October. The next month, First Quantum raised its bid to C$70.
If successful, the deal would give First Quantum control of the massive Cobre Panama project, easing its dependence on Africa and particularly Zambia.
The First Quantum offer will be open until February 14 unless extended or withdrawn, and is contingent on a minimum take-up of 66-2/3 percent of outstanding shares, along with regulatory approvals.
Nearly 40 percent of Inmet is held by four shareholders, including holding company Leucadia National Corp (LUK.N), which has backed the deal, in absence of changed circumstances.
First Quantum is being advised on the deal by Jefferies International, Goldman Sachs and RBC Capital Markets, while Inmet is being advised by CIBC World Markets.

November 22, 2011 - According to news sources, a 22-year-old Healy man was rescued by Alaska State Troopers after trying to walk almost 50 miles out of the wilderness in temperatures of 20 to 30 degrees below zero.
Troopers found the man suffering from frostbite and hypothermia, late Saturday night at an unheated cabin on Healy Creek, about 10 miles east of Healy, a few hours after he hit the SOS button on his SPOT device.
"That Spot Tracker saved his life, there's not a doubt in my mind," said Eric Jeffords, one of the two Alaska State Troopers who found him. "I don't think he would have made it until morning."

bellp123 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de botón o icono y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 31 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
This project is a paid job interview, I will evaluate the designs and then will offer the winner a job designing the rest of the icons for this app in the style/theme that you designed. So if you submit a design, you will have the option of drawing at least 100+ icons in this theme that you designed.
We are creating an iphone app for the website, lobangclub.com.
It is a price comparison website, subsequently, we want to have icons that represent the different categories of products on the site.
The important thing here is;
1. The icons will be the only graphics in an app that will be text heavy.
2. they are designed with a distinctive and unique theme. E.g. Look at gowalla and 4square's icons, they each have a distinctive theme that applies across all their icons both past and future.
Female users aged 16-45 who are big shoppers
-iPhone icon - designed at least 512x512 pixels, but should look right at 57x57
The icons should be designed with the premise that the background screen color will be white.
Design 1 icon for each of the following 6 categories;
"10 Megapixels"
"Memory" (computer RAM)
"Video Games"
"Snacks" (groceries)
"Frozen Goods" (groceries)
All icons should have the same theme, i.e. looking at them it should be obvious that they come from the same app/website.
It should not look like other icon sets that I can find on the web or in other apps, they should be unique.
The main criteria I am looking for is an icon theme that can be used as a base inspiration for more icons.
NOTE: These icons will be used within an iphone application so they should not have as their distinctive feature any sort of or background or container. For reference look at gowalla.

Dogs at the beach: The dos and don'ts
Many beaches don't allow dogs during the summer months, but if you do find a dog-friendly beach there are some important guidelines to follow.
Tripswithpets.com, recently compiled a list of doggie dos and don'ts for the beach. According to the site, two of the most important things to keep in mind when planning a beach day with your dog are:
Swim safety: Don't force your dog into the water if he or she is being timid, and make sure and bring a swim vest if your pet is not an expert swimmer. "If this is the first time your dog will be swimming, you may want to read up on his breed."
Temperature: In the summer months, it's especially important to keep an eye on your dog's well-being at the beach. "Summer at the beach can bring about two extremes: heat from the sun and a cold, cold ocean. Pay attention to how your dog is acting and responding while he's with you throughout the day, since there could be the potential of either heat stroke or hypothermia."

Scientists say rare drop in sunspot activity could cause global cooling
Last week's event is almost certain to be just the start of a cycle that is expected to peak in 2013. It is during this rising activity that we can expect the Earth to be buffeted by some devastating solar storms.
Solar Flares Could Cripple Earth's Tech Infrastructure in 2013

I am looking for best practices that big organizations follow for code check-in and validations.
Currently we follow these steps, - Developer writes code - Developer do some initial tests - Code is awaiting validation now - Technical lead reviews the code (possible bugs, see if coding convention is followed etc) - Once approved by technical lead, the code goes in QA state - Once QA approves the code is checked in into the trunk.
We are now moving to a new project and I was looking for some best practices that would ease the process. We have custom made software that maintains the code status.
Thanks, Ali

The most common saying in golf is "keep your head down." The question is, are you actually picking your head up? When you hit a thin shot that dribbles along the ground, it would seem that a player must have picked their head up. My experience is that most player's don't pick their head up at all, what they do is pull their arms and hands up toward their body causing the club to hit the ball low on the clubface producing a skull shot. To fix the problem, hit balls focusing on brushing grass ahead of the ball and going to a three quarter, fully extended finish. This will help keep your arms extended producing more consistency and power.

If you are looking for a completely new experience for playing golf, then the Brijuni golf course should definitely be your next destination. On Brijuni golf is played on a unique golf course dating from 1922, which then acquired the flattering title of one of the largest and naturally most beautiful golf courses of that time. But, what most attracts golfers to Brijuni is the unique setting and atmosphere of this golf course. On the reconstructed 18 holes of the onetime largest golf course in Europe, you can still experience the enchantment of playing amid untouched nature. This rightfully dubbed environmental friendly golf course is truly impressive. The golf course is maintained without any machinery, no pesticides are used, it is not even watered so that greenery of the golf course depends on weather conditions.
Golf course details
In the tranquility of the southeastern part of the island there are 18 green hole numbers (PAR 71, SSS 71) length 5,486 meters (ladies length 4.977 meters). The course is not too demanding, so that it is available to all sorts of players (recreational players and the golf champions). Fairways are large so there can be different game errors. There are different hazards such as bunkers, woods and single trees, bushes and also water hazard.

In winter the cold wind bora sometime blows, but this will not stop you from enjoying your game. Depending on the amount of rain in summer the grass sometimes turns yellow, however the local rule (moving the ball is allowed) enables you to continue playing golf.

Olive oil roads
OLIVE OIL - ELIXIR OF GOD We are looking for a native product of Istra - high kvaliteno olive oil whose quality is a reflection of indigenous varieties and the typicality of habitats, particularly in its southern coastal area which is marked by the ancient sites (ceramic workshop where made famous Istrian amphorae), then Fažana the surrounding area is certainly one of the few places where past and present clearly indicate that we have the best track. Ancient evidence of olive oil in Istria speak simply and convincingly about its quality: Strabo says that the oil from Istria, the best oil of the Roman Empire. Today Fažani can see for yourself how the quality praised throughout history, we can do this by offering Fažana olive. Their olive oils obtained from fresh, healthy and moderately-mature fruits mainly indigenous varieties, processed in a modern way, attest to the quality of which the Roman emperors kept under his strict rule and distributing only those they wanted.
Wine Road
Istrian Malvasia is the most widely used grape in Fažana. Old it is, indigenous varieties which are spread throughout the Istria and today is synonymous with how to fažanska and the Istrian Winery. It has a medium-sized loose cluster, berry is medium to large, round, pistachio color. On sunny Fažana positions grapes (berries) gets a golden color (this color may later have wine). Due to the abundance of sunshine, good position and the red earth, Fažana Malvasia grapes gathered a lot of sugar (approximately 20.00 percent or more) and moderate amounts of acid (about 5 g / l). Because wine is produced quite high (12.0 to 13.0 vol%), slightly acid (5.0 g / l total acids), rich in extract, very harmonious and drinkable with a specific floral-fruity scent of acacia blossom. Malvasia is a lovely shade of light yellow to straw yellow, sometimes the wine produced on the so-called Malvasia. "Traditional way" or, as it says here, "the drop". This means that the grapes are first muljano (minced), and then all along been left to ferment (cooking). This lasted for 4-7 days, then separated and the juice pressed drop. Thus, separate juice fermentation continued until the end. Thus produced wines had a stronger shade of yellow, a little astringency in the taste and were very strong.

(Phoenix, Ariz. - Feb. 11, 2008) Attorney General Terry Goddard today warned consumers about the latest solicitation scam stemming from the proposed Congressional economic stimulus package. Arizonans should use great caution if they receive phone calls or emails that claim to be related to government-issued tax rebates.
The mailing of tax-reporting forms on Jan. 31 marked the beginning of this year's tax season. Unfortunately, identity thieves often prey upon taxpayers' nervousness over the power of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to obtain their personal and financial information. Thieves then use this personal information to drain victims' bank accounts or obtain credit in their names.
This year's rebate scam follows the lines of a traditional phone solicitation fraud. The caller claims to be an IRS employee and tells consumers they are eligible for a tax-rebate check from the government. But to process that rebate, people are informed they need to provide personal banking information. If they refuse to give this information, they are told they will not receive the money.
An email version of this scam, also claiming to be from the IRS, encourages recipients to access a Web link or download and fill out an attached form to provide personal information. Often recipients are led to believe that failing to provide the information will knock them out of good standing with the IRS, prevent them from receiving their rebate or refund or even cause them to be audited. The attachments can also contain spyware that enables the thief to steal victims' personal and financial information.
The Attorney General's Office and the IRS encourage you to follow these guidelines to protect yourself from identity thieves during the tax season:
- The only IRS Web site is www.irs.gov, and all genuine IRS Web pages begin with http://www.irs.gov/. If you want to access the IRS via Internet, you should type this address into your browser. Do NOT follow links provided in an email.
- The IRS and the Arizona Department of Revenue do not send unsolicited tax-related emails to taxpayers and will never ask for personal information (such as Social Security, bank account or PIN numbers) via email. If you receive an email claiming to be from the IRS or Department of Revenue that asks for personal or tax-related information, you should be highly skeptical. Suspicious tax-related emails can be forwarded to email@example.com.
- As of this date, no legislation has been enacted to authorize the federal tax rebate or authorize the IRS to make payment of such a rebate.
- Be careful with all documents that contain personal financial or tax-related information. Scam artists are aware that mailboxes, home offices and even trash bins often contain sensitive documents during tax season. Make sure to collect your mail regularly, store all tax related documents in a safe place and shred all documents that contain personal financial information before throwing them away.
Attorney General Goddard offers the following tips for preventing identity theft year-round:
- Be wary of callers who insist on getting your personal information. If you are being pressured, hang up.
- Never give out personal information, such as your Social Security number, bank account numbers or credit card numbers, to anyone you do not know.
- Report any suspicious calls to the Attorney General's Office at 602-542-5763.
If you believe you have been a victim of fraud, please contact the Attorney General's Office in Phoenix at 602.542.5763; in Tucson at 520.628.6504; or outside the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas at 1.800.352.8431. To file a complaint in person, the Attorney General's Office has 36 satellite offices throughout Arizona with volunteers available to help. Locations and hours are posted on the Attorney General's Web site at www.azag.gov. Please visit the Web site to sign up for scam alerts and weekly messages from Attorney General Goddard.
Individuals with tax-related questions can contact the IRS toll-free at 1-800-829-1040 or contact the Arizona Department of Revenue at 602 255-3381 or toll-free from 520 or 928 area code at 800 352-4090.

………..Don't be fooled! It's all fake and staged.
The Control System has overplayed its hand with so many hoax "mass shootings," hoax civil disobedience events and all the over-the-top screaming and whining about everything, all the time.
The majority of people have awakened to the deception, and most of the awake people understand that these fake news stories about post-election "protests" are LIES.
People are sick and tired of all the fake events and they're just not buying into these ridiculous news stories about all these butt-hurt "protesters."……….

One of the biggest advances in the world of cancer treatment has been in the survival of children with cancer.
CBS News correspondent Michelle Miller reports that an estimated 11,210 new cases are expected to occur among children 0 to 14 years of age in 2011. Childhood cancers are rare, representing less than 1 percent of all new cancer diagnoses. Overall, childhood cancer incidence rates have been increasing slightly by 0.6 percent per year since 1975.
Olivia Lafond, 4, was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia in 2009.
"I thought she was going to die," said Jennifer Lafond, Olivia's mother.
Forty years ago, kids with Olivia's type of cancer had just a 5 percent chance of survival. Now it's higher than 50 percent. After chemotherapy and two bone marrow transplants, Olivia shows no signs of cancer.Got cancer? 10 secrets for better decisions
Docs light up cancer cells to kill them
Since the mid-1970s, the survival rate for most childhood cancers has climbed from 58 percent to 80 percent, compared to just 68 percent for adults.
Dr. Paul Meyers treats kids at New York's Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He credits improvements in cancer fighting drugs. He said there is something about being a child that gives doctors a head start in the fight.
"The treatments that we use to treat cancer chemotherapy, these are very intense therapies they have a lot of side effects. Children are healthier. They have not done damage to their bodies with smoking and drinking and we can use more intensive therapies in children than our colleagues who treat adults," Meyers said.
Those intensive therapies may have long lasting effects. A study of 14,000 childhood cancer survivors found 10 percent developed new tumors. Another study found women survivors were 3 times more likely to have miscarriages than healthy siblings. Radiation and anti-cancer drugs are suspected.
Jennifer Lafond says the key to survival is to have faith.
Whether it's faith or science, Olivia has become one of the 360,000 American children who have survived cancer.

I wonder why these douchebags felt they needed to disable commenting on Youtube. Oh wait, I know, because it is all BULLSHIT.
"What will it take to get the message through to those in charge at Ubisoft?"
It will take consumers who are willing to be conscientious about the products that they buy. You could ask the same of the issues we are seeing around the world today with folks protesting the current state of their government. What needs to happen to make a change? Easy, apathy needs to change. Either you are a product of the system that has been created for you or you are a knowledgeable consumer who decides what producers produce...you decide.
So far, I have received 5 responses to my White House petitions; all crappy canned responses; all having plenty of words but telling me nothing...waste of time.
Phase 1: US ISPs voluntarily enforce 5 strike plan
Phase 2: jack up pricing on streaming services, driving away legitimate customers
Phase 3: legitimate customers move to less legitimate methods of obtaining media, bringing the whole damn thing full circle
Phase 4: Fake estimates of loss made by MPAA now skew more towards reality
Phase 5: kick people of the internet
Phase 6: Profit...wait, wtf!!
I personally have decided never to watch anything with Luke Wilson in it ever again...AT&T sucks donkey dick.
This was a great article until the first sentence...
A judge who doesn't have his head up his ass...
"What's next, people can watch first run movies from their TV the night the damn movies are released? Would that make you happy, just cutting out theaters all together?"
Yes, this would make me happy. In a capitalist society, is that not what is important?
And here you have uncovered the REAL problem with the interwebs...before these tubes came along, it was easier for us to pretend that people couldn't possibly be this retarded. Now, unfortunately we can't get away from 'THE STUPID'. Each passing day brings more of 'THE STUPID' and leaves me more and more afraid that there are no intelligent beings left on this planet.
I saw this episode. Isn't this the part where they cordon off an area in the middle of the city and turn a blind eye to the dealers in that area?
Just let old school media die the inevitable death. If they cannot innovate, then they go under like any other business. All the blustering and nostalgic statements about 'the good old days' mean nothing to us. Let these dinosaurs die so we can move on.
I use Ubuntu at home and carry my IPod between home and work, where I am forced to use Windows. At home, Amarok works fantastic with my IPod and Amazon has DRM free MP3 downloads.
If we shut down the interwebs, how will Sir Elton get his daily dose of gay pr0n?

British & Irish Lions
Shaw slapped with two-week ban
July 4, 2009

British & Irish Lions lock Simon Shaw has been banned for two weeks after being found guilty of dangerous play by a disciplinary panel.
Shaw was cited for striking South Africa scrum-half Fourie du Preez with his knee in the first-half of the Lions' 28-9 third Test victory over the Springboks at Ellis Park in Johannesburg on Saturday.
The Wasps second-row was yellow-carded for the incident, which forced du Preez from the field, but citing officer Steve Hinds believed the offence required further investigation by the panel.
Shaw has been banned until midnight on August 22, meaning that he will be free to start the season with Wasps against Harlequins at the London Double Header on September 5.
Shaw's ban comes after the IRB confirmed an investigation in to the white armbands worn by South Africa during the third Test to signal a silent protest at the suspension of lock Bakkies Botha. Botha was banned for clearing out Lions prop Adam Jones, who suffered a dislocated shoulder that will rule him out for up to six months, a decision that drew consternation from the Springboks and Lions management.
"The IRB is looking to establish all the relevant facts before making any further comment," said a spokesman.
The South Africa Rugby Players Association has backed the players, chief executive Piet Heymans saying: "The inconsistency has upset the players, and they felt very strongly that they must take a firm stance and show their unhappiness with the application of the relevant law.
"We will be consulting with our legal team next week to consider all our legal options available to assist Bakkies Botha and provide him with a sense of justice."

一個值得研究的領域 - Hadoop
In Open Source, Hadoop
.Hadoop is a software platform that lets one easily write and run applications that process vast amounts of data.
.Hadoop implements MapReduce, using the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) MapReduce divides applications into many small blocks of work. HDFS creates multiple replicas of data blocks for reliability, placing them on compute nodes around the cluster. MapReduce can then process the data where it is located.
.Hadoop is a Lucene sub-project that contains the distributed computing platform that was formerly a part of Nutch.

How It Works
Infant RefluxWhile most all babies spit up, some babies spit up more frequently and experience unusual discomfort that may be symptoms of a more serious condition. If you suspect your baby may suffer from acid reflux, the most important thing you can do is monitor your child's spit up behavior, especially after meals or snacks and during bedtime hours.
There are many symptoms of infant acid reflux. Your baby may have some or all of the following symptoms:
• Spits up frequently or more than an hour after feedings
• Vomiting, not related to colds or flu
• Appears colicky, irritable and/or cries more than most babies
• Has difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
• Likes to feed often and/or in small amounts; may refuse feedings
• Wet burp or wet hiccup sounds
• Bad breath
• Blood in stool

Why Elevate the Crib?After our son was diagnosed with reflux, our doctor recommended that we elevate the crib to decrease symptoms and improve sleep! Parents and Medical Professionals may recommend elevating the head of the crib for:
- Infant Acid Reflux
- Ear Infections
- Colic
- Respiratory Issues
- Sleep problems

Green coffee side effects are generally minimal, and they are similar to those caused by other caffeinated beverages, including dizziness, rapid heart rate, blood glucose changes, and jitters. These are most common in those who have a sensitivity to caffeine or those who consume coffee in high doses. The long-term green coffee side effects for pregnant women or people with certain health conditions has not been firmly established.
The use of green coffee dates back thousands of years. It has been used to create beverages such as wine and traditional coffee, and it was once used as a source of food. Green coffee is the same type commonly consumed in coffee drinks, but the beans are not roasted. The extracts are commonly used to promote weight loss and for their high antioxidant content.
For most people, green coffee side effects are minimal or non-existent when taken in the appropriate doses. Those with a sensitivity to caffeine may become jittery or experience heart palpitations. These symptoms are generally short lived and resolve on their own. Those who are unsure of their caffeine tolerance level should begin by taking a very low dose of green coffee supplement and then slowly increasing their daily dose to the maximum recommended amount.

I wonder why the official Stadium 4 Cornwall web page has not been updated with the result of the Planning Authority's decision.
I realise that there are Twitter comments there which reflect the decision but one is apt to look to the official website for the latest information.
Over the coming months, as the scheme develops, it would be valuable to have the latest position explained on the Stadium web pages.

Brazil confirms Grand Slam event in September
Lausanne, Switzerland, April 9, 2014 – The Brazil Volleyball Federation (CBV) has confirmed that it will hold a Grand Slam event from September 23 to 28, one of ten double gender Grand Slam events on the cards for the 2014 Beach Volleyball season.
Although the host city is still to be decided, the CBV has confirmed that the FIVB will return to Brazil for the 27th consecutive year. The home of international pro beach volleyball, Brazil has staged a FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour event every year since the start of the international circuit for men in 1987 and women in 1992. The 2013 tournament in Brazil was the first FIVB World Tour event held in São Paulo.
The announcement comes on the heels of other beach volleyball news which sees this year's Long Beach and Transavia Grand Slams carrying a pot of $1 million in prize money.
For the first time ever in the FIVB's history, two of the Grand Slams on the beach volleyball calendar will have a prize pot of $1 million, while the other eight will feature a total purse of $800,000 – nearly double the prize money of $440,000 on offer for Grand Slams in 2013.
Never before has such high prize money been distributed in a beach volleyball tournament with the winners receiving a cheque of $70,000 and runners-up $52,000 in both the men's and women's tournaments of these Grand Slam events.
The FIVB also confirmed that Chennai, situated on the south east coast of India, will host the ninth Open event on the 2014 beach volleyball calendar from November 25 to 30. While this is the city's first time hosting an FIVB Open event, Chennai has held FIVB Challenger Beach Volleyball tournaments in 2008 and 2010. More recently Chennai was the venue for the Asian Beach Volleyball Championship, which were held there in May last year.
The dates of the La Reunion Open were also confirmed by the organisers, with the second and final tournament for men only this year set to take place from December 3 to 7.
A record $10.2m in prize money, 10 Grand Slams, an inaugural FIVB Grand Slam Final and 11 Open tournaments are the highlights of this year's record-breaking 2014 beach volleyball calendar.

I have been remiss in my postings. I think, maybe perhaps, I have gotten the bugs out of my computer.
We were all having connectivity issues….last week the electricity was out and when the kid came home the internet would not boot.
She was doing a lot of texting about the service, or lack of it, with our Windstream Internet. Since I was working, I did not have time to offer any advice.
When I got home the Windstream van was in our driveway and the tech guy was rebooting the system. Somehow (????) the internet was plugged into the phone line and the line dedicated to the internet was not in use.
One problem solved, then he had to download the information to reboot the wireless.
The next time she tells me that she does not know how to do something I will remind her how she got the computer tech out to our house in hyper speed….
Then another thing I did, as I had read on AOL was to check the systems.
Step one Click on Start, then My Computer, next right click on Disc C, down to properties, click on Tools and check the two boxes. First is Automatically Fix File System Errors and Scan for and attempt Recovery of Bad Sectors.
After those two boxes were checked it prompted me to reboot the computer and when it restarted it took a few hours (honestly, no lie) to do its thing. I suppose that it exorcised what ever demon that was living in the computer. My old (2004) computed is working in about the same time mode as it took Emily to get the computer guy to our house.

Congrats, PR person who just sent this to us: we're talking about your client, though probably not in the terms you'd prefer. Everyone get ready for a lot of former boybander and Jessica Simpson boytoy Nick Lachey in your lives, because ESPN's going to play an awful lot of "Last One Standing" on Saturday. Let's listen to it now!
Who's to blame? Cincinnati, mostly.
The BIG EAST Conference today announced that it will unveil "The BIG EAST Anthem," entitled Last One Standing - written and performed by multi-platinum recording artist Nick Lachey during ESPN's broadcast of the 2011 men's basketball championship finals on Saturday night.
Lachey, a friend of the BIG EAST Conference, wrote and performed the song specifically for its inclusion around conference programming.
"As a Cincinnati native, I have had a passion for college athletics and the University of Cincinnati," said Lachey. "I have grown a strong affinity to the BIG EAST since it joined the conference, and think that this song represents the true test that these inspiring student-athletes face by competing in this league."
Basically, picture five seconds of the song every time we go to or come back from commercials. Just pray it doesn't go to 6OT.

Day's Best: Colorado to start tracking child abuse caseloads
It's about time.
News that the state Human Services Department will begin gathering data on social worker caseloads is a welcome development, and overdue.
A recent series by The Denver Post about the failures of Colorado's child abuse protection services revealed the state doesn't even know how many cases child protection workers have.
One of the many criticisms of the system, which is run by Colorado counties but overseen by the state, is that workers have too many serious cases to properly handle.
As we said in an editorial recently, the discussion must begin with an assessment of caseloads.

OPEC is "virtually certain" to cut oil production when it meets in Vienna on March 16 but the cartel has yet to decide on how much, the Middle East Economic Survey (MEES) reported on Monday.
"Before finalizing an agreement on how much to cut, OPEC will take a comprehensive look at current market conditions," the Cyprus-based industry newsletter said.
It said the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries was "virtually certain to cut production" at the Vienna meeting and that "the principle of cutting output is supported by all member states."
OPEC oil ministers would study three key issues:
-- supply and demand projections for the rest of 2001
-- the current level of global stocks
-- how much of the price level at the time of the meeting in Vienna can be attributed to supply-demand fundamentals and how much to speculation about the meeting's outcome.
"This last factor is a new consideration for OPEC, which ... has begun taking measures to counter the effects of speculation and manipulation of markets," the weekly said.
It said attention would focus ahead of Vienna on talks expected to take place in Riyadh on March 12 between the oil ministers of OPEC giants Saudi Arabia and Venezuela with independent producer Mexico.
"The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss international oil markets and to demonstrate the continuity of the commitment by non-OPEC producers to coordinate their polices with OPEC's," said MEES.
A barrel of Brent reference crude for April delivery was selling for $26.20 on Friday, while in New York, the light sweet crude March contract gained 39 cents to stand at $28.01 a barrel.
Prices have risen amid concerns that OPEC will squeeze its output when it meets in Vienna in response to the consumer market's slowing demand.
The cartel wants prices to stabilize at around $25 per barrel. But its basket price for seven world cruds slipped to 23.64 dollars on Thursday from $23.81 on Wednesday, the cartel's OPECNA news agency reported.
To support prices, OPEC has cut output by 1.5 million bpd -- five percent of its total production -- since February 1. Consumer countries, meanwhile, have urged restraint, fearing that further cutbacks will result in a new price spiral.
Oil analysts are predicting that OPEC is headed for a cut of one million barrels per day.—AFP.

Shane Shillingford spun the West Indies into a strong position on the opening day of the third Test against Australia in Dominica.
Shillingford, the first Dominican to play on home soil in a Test match, claimed 4-77 from 34 overs as Australia reached 7-212 at stumps today.
That score was boosted by a strong counter-attack late in the day by Mitchell Starc (24no) and Matthew Wade (22no), who combined to add an unbroken 43 late in the day to give Australia hope of posting a score in excess of 250.
But the day belonged to Shillingford, who led the Windies out onto the field before the start of play and picked up the wickets of David Warner, Michael Clarke, Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey in the best display of his seven-Test career.
Ravi Rampaul (1-44) and Darren Sammy (1-32) had removed Ed Cowan (1) and Shane Watson (41) before Shillingford's show begun with the dismissal of Warner for an uncharacteristic 50 off 136 balls.
Ponting - who passed Rahul Dravid to become the second highest scorer of Test runs during his innings of 23 - and Michael Clarke (24) both fell caught in close as Shillingford extracted bounce and turn from the Windsor Park wicket.
Then came the highlight of the day when Sammy took a diving one-handed catch at slip to remove Hussey (10) and give Shillingford his fourth wicket.
Kemar Roach (1-43) ensured all four Windies bowlers ended the day with a wicket when he removed Ryan Harris (4) but Warner felt Starc and Wade's partnership could prove vital.
"If we can get 250 it's probably par, then we've just got to sum it up in the second innings,'' Warner said.
"I reckon day four or day five, chasing 200 or 250 is going to be very tough for either team.''
Shillingford said the Windies were hoping to keep Australia under 250 when play resumes.
"I wouldn't say they got away,'' Shillingford said.
"Cricket is a patient game. It's not where you can just go blasting batsmen.
"The guys were positive as well so it's a matter of coming back tomorrow and taking them out as quick as possible.''

It sounds like a U.N. relief program for starving gamers, but it's not. The U.K. supermarket chain Tesco has expanded a pilot used-games trade-in to 60 stores. Store credit can be used for anything, food included.
MCV reports that Tesco print advertisements now tout the trade-in at participating stores nationwide. Used games featured in the ad fetch between £12 for 2010 FIFA World Cup and £19 for Red Dead Redemption. For purposes of comparison, a can of spotted dick is 98p.
For U.S. readers, "supermarket" means quite a different store in Europe than it does in the U.S. There it means something akin to a super Walmart with a full-service grocery, not the local Piggly Wiggly. These outfits also have electronics and entertainment departments.
That said, I don't see any GameStops selling ground beef and Stove Top.
Tesco does have a U.S. presence, as the grocery-convenience store chain Fresh & Easy. This program isn't applicable there.
MCV notes that Tesco began testing its used-games service late last year, then expanded it earlier this year. Rival supermarket Asda has also opened a games trade-in trial.
