Multi-Function Laser (All-in-One)
The All-in-One A4 Color MFP KX-MC6000 Series
Printing and Copying to Match the Application
Direct Print from SD Memory Card
The MFP can print directly from an SD Memory Card.
This eliminates the need for a PC, and lets you instantly print out photos that you have just taken or data that you received from somewhere outside the office.
Duplex Printing (Optional)
Two-sided output becomes possible by mounting the optional Auto Duplex Unit. Because documents can be output with only half the amount of paper, this feature is highly economical, and it also saves office space.
N-in-1 Printing
Multiple sets of data can be printed onto a single page by dividing the page into 2, 4, 8, or 16 parts. (Up to 8 parts is possible when copying.) This is convenient for providing an overall view of the data, when it's not necessary to see the details of each part.
Poster Printing
When printing large images, you can use the Poster Printing function to divide and output the image into A4 or Letter size parts. This makes it easy to create posters by simply assembling the images after printing.
Quick ID Copy
This function is handy for printing the information from a card, such as a two-sided ID card, onto a single sheet of paper. It will copy both sides of up to four cards onto a single sheet. Use it, for example, as evidence of ID registration.
Easy Repeat
Easy Repeat copies up to eight tickets or cards onto a single sheet of paper. This is an easy way to copy and distribute tickets.
Proof Copy
Prior to a large copy run, you can output a small amount for use in checking. If no problems are found, you can immediately start the actual copying process. This helps to save paper costs when there are copying mistakes.

ONETIME- Sparks flying: What happened when the switch flipped
One time, I asked a middling electrician friend of mine along to help me hang a light fixture that was lovingly made by the homeowner's father, who was a retired dentist. He built her a beautiful stained-glass fixture that weighed about a hundred pounds; it was all solder-jointed. So it took the installation of a fan bracket that went across the ceiling joists, and then it needed to be rewired.
So we were working on it, and the homeowner's husband came home, and he knew me, but he didn't know my helper. And he introduced himself to the helper, and asked us, "How much do I owe you guys?" And I said, "You don't owe us anything," and jokingly added, "I especially wouldn't pay my helper until you see the sparks fly."
So he left, changed his clothes, and came in, and it was time to check the light, so I said, "Hit the switch." He hit the switch– and then the fireworks started. The fixture went Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam! Blam!
Flames shot out the tops of the fixture, embers fell to the floor, and I screamed at him to turn it off.
He said, "Pete, what the hell is going on here?"
I said, "I don't have an answer."
He goes: "You told me 'Wait until the sparks fly'—Is this some kind of a joke? I don't appreciate it."
What had happened was, he had tightened the set screw down on the receptacle on the plug where you put the light bulb in where it contacted the neutral and the hot.
So the lesson here is: follow the manufacturer's instructions on proper grounding and proper wiring. And when someone tells you they're an electrician, make them show you their card!

From mighty Canada with its 11 returning gold medalists to humble hopefuls Latvia and Norway, the remaining entrants in the Sochi Olympic hockey tournament announced their rosters Tuesday, triggering vigorous debate in hockey rinks around the world.
Kings defenseman Drew Doughty's second straight selection for Canada was automatic, but forward Jeff Carter was a mild surprise. The Kings will have six Olympians, with host Russia choosing defenseman Slava Voynov, and the previous picks of center Anze Kopitar for Slovenia and goaltender Jonathan Quick and forward Dustin Brown by Team USA.
"Any time you get to represent Canada and put on that jersey, it's the biggest honor ever, really," Doughty said. "I'm so excited to be finally named."
The Ducks have seven Olympians, including center Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry returning from Canada's 2010 championship team. Finland chose 43-year-old winger Teemu Selanne, who will tie an Olympic hockey record with his sixth appearance, and also chose Ducks defenseman Sami Vatanen. "We play for him," Vatanen said of Selanne. "It might be his last Olympics. You never know."
Selanne called his selection "a big honor, again," but teammate Saku Koivu declined the honor to rest and train for what he hopes will be a long playoff run by the Ducks.
"Physically, I won't be where I want to be to compete against the best players in the world," Koivu said, calling it the toughest decision of his career. "It was a dream, but the older you get, you have to stay honest with yourself."
Also on Tuesday, Ducks winger Jakob Silfverberg was chosen to play for Sweden. Defenseman Cam Fowler was previously named to Team USA and goaltender Jonas Hiller was named to Team Switzerland.
The St. Louis Blues, Detroit Red Wings and defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks each had 10 players selected.
Russia, under pressure to win at home, named 15 NHL players, including goalies Sergei Bobrovsky of Columbus and Semyon Varlamov of Colorado. The remaining 10 come from the Kontinental Hockey League. The NHL contingent includes goalscoring leader Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals and dazzling Pavel Datsyuk of the Red Wings, as well as 18-year-old standout forward Valeri Nichushkin of Dallas. Winger Ilya Kovalchuk, who left the New Jersey Devils after last season to play for SKA St. Petersburg, also made the team.
"I'm very proud for myself and very proud for my family. It's huge," Ovechkin told reporters in Washington.
Who was left off Canada's roster caused as much of a stir as who was on it.
San Jose center Joe Thornton, the NHL's assist leader, didn't make it. Nor did Philadelphia Flyers forward Claude Giroux or defending NHL scoring champion Martin St. Louis of the Tampa Bay Lightning. That last omission was tricky, because Team Canada's executive director, Steve Yzerman, is also the Lightning's general manager and had to deliver the bad news to St. Louis.
Canada went for a mobile defense, unlike previous Olympics. Doughty will be joined by Montreal's P.K. Subban, Chicago's Duncan Keith, St. Louis' Jay Bouwmeester and Alex Pietrangelo, steady Dan Hamhuis of Vancouver, Marc-Edouard Vlasic of San Jose and Nashville stalwart Shea Weber.
Up front, Dallas' Jamie Benn won a spot for his recent production and New York Rangers winger Rick Nash won a spot despite his scoring woes. Canada's centers are its strength: Boston's Patrice Bergeron, Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby, Getzlaf, the New York Islanders' John Tavares, Chicago's Jonathan Toews and Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos.
The selection of Crosby's left wing, Chris Kunitz, drew some fire but Kunitz brings production and physicality. Carter's quick shot and ability to bring much-needed speed on the wing worked in his favor.
"Everyone knows what Canadians expect. Anything but gold is unacceptable," Perry said. "That's the way we look at it."
Canada's biggest challenges loom from the U.S., always-skillful Sweden — led by five-time Olympian Daniel Alfredsson — and Finland, with remarkable goaltending depth in Dallas' Kari Lehtonen, San Jose's Antti Niemi, and Boston's Tuukka Rask.
"We are not the favorites, but the gap between the best team and the sixth team is not very big," said Selanne, who made his Finnish Olympic debut in 1992 and has won a silver medal and two bronze medals. "Anybody can beat anybody."

Geneva Switzerland The design uses the unique shape of the site and solar orientation to respond to climate and user needs. A glass curtain wall is shingled in both plan and section around the building; mirrored verticals between the "scales" serve to passively reflect desirable morning daylight into the building along the south facade while shading the interior spaces from undesirable western sunlight in the late afternoon. Operable metal louvers concealed below the glass scales ventilate the building naturally, and allow the building to "breathe" without obstructing daylight and views.
The sculptural character of the shingled-gl ass façade is accentuated by the gently-curving geometry of the site, allowing the building to take on different characters depending on the viewer's perspective. Viewed from the west, when only the mirrored stainless panels and glass edges are visible, the building will look virtually opaque. From other perspectives, the façade will mirror the ever-changing sky, reflecting the climate which inspired its design.

'Speedy military vehicles often crush people in Kunduz'
'Speedy military vehicles often crush people in Kunduz'
KUNDUZ CITY (Pajhwok): The residents of northern Kunduz province say security forces' vehicles have never obeyed traffic rules and their reckless driving often result in fatal accidents.
Amruddin Wali, the Provincial Council (PC) head, told Pajhwok Afghan News that military vehicles were often involved in accidents in which human lives were lost. He stressed a halt to illegal and self-styled driving on roads and streets.
Some residents of Kunduz City, the provincial capital, also complained against inappropriate driving by some people and military personnel.
Bashir Khan Safi, a resident, told Pajhwok Afghan News that military vehicles were driven in the city with high speed which should be prevented.
He added: "Besides other issues in Kunduz, speedy military vehicles have worried residents. Over 20 people were killed in the past one month due to high speed."
Police in Kunduz acknowledged high speed driving by military vehicles. Police Chief Brig. Gen. Abdul Hameed Hameedi said all military officials had been directed to get driving licenses. He said military personnel like common people should drive according to rules.
"All vehicles carry registration numbers and drivers who violate traffic rules, their numbers should be noted and shared with us," he said.
At least eight people have been killed and 14 other injured during the past one month in accidents blamed on reckless driving by military personnel.

MLB donates to typhoon relief, asks fans to join
Typhoon Haiyan left a path of destruction and despair in the Philippines, and Major League Baseball joined the international relief effort on Thursday by announcing a donation of $200,000 to UNICEF and the American Red Cross.
MLB also is activating its fan base by encouraging support of UNICEF and the Red Cross via public-service announcements, programming mentions and editorial coverage on MLB.com and MLB Network.
Typhoon Haiyan left a path of destruction and despair in the Philippines, and Major League Baseball joined the international relief effort on Thursday by announcing a donation of $200,000 to UNICEF and the American Red Cross.
MLB also is activating its fan base by encouraging support of UNICEF and the Red Cross via public-service announcements, programming mentions and editorial coverage on MLB.com and MLB Network.
"Major League Baseball is eager to support the relief efforts assisting the people of the Philippines who have suffered because of this tragic storm," Commissioner Bud Selig said. "Millions of people, including many children, have been affected by this storm, and we encourage others to contribute to the essential work of both UNICEF and the Red Cross in helping the country recover during this most difficult time."
"Major League Baseball has been a true friend to the world's children in their time of need," said Caryl Stern, president and CEO, U.S. Fund for UNICEF. "In the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan, some five million children have lost their homes, schools and communities. MLB not only asked fans to support UNICEF's response, but today they have made a generous gift to help fuel the relief so desperately needed. On behalf of the children who've endured the strongest storm in history, we thank MLB and its fans for the support."
MLB.com will support relief efforts with editorial coverage, social-media outreach and prominently displayed links to the UNICEF and Red Cross websites, where fans can make contributions online. MLB Network will also provide information across its studio programming about the work being done by UNICEF and the American Red Cross and encourage viewers to donate.
"The generous support of Major League Baseball will help the Red Cross support people affected by Typhoon Haiyan, both in the emergency response and as people and communities work to rebuild their lives," said Neal Litvack, chief development officer at the American Red Cross.
The death toll in the Philippines has risen to more than 2,000, according to a national count kept by the disaster agency. That figure is expected to rise, perhaps significantly, when accurate information is collected from the disaster zone.
The United Nations has launched an appeal for $301 million to help relief efforts. An estimated 11.5 million people have been affected, with at least 545,000 displaced.
The southeast portion of the Philippines was the worst hit by the typhoon, which registered winds of up to 235 mph. Weather forecasters said they believed it was the strongest storm ever to hit land.
Tacloban, a city of about 220,000 people on the island of Leyte, is largely in ruins after bearing the full force of the winds and storm surge. Malls, garages and shops were stripped of food and water by hungry residents. Subsequent Tropical Depression Zoraida and a moderate earthquake in the region further complicated recovery and relief efforts.
The USS George Washington aircraft carrier arrived in the Philippines on Thursday to boost international efforts to provide aid and relief. The ship is part of the U.S. Navy's 7th Fleet and is accompanied by seven other ships that make up the George Washington Strike Group. The aircraft carrier has a crew of 5,500 and brings with it 21 helicopters, which can be used to ferry goods to hard-to-reach areas where people have seen no aid since the disaster.
President Barack Obama urged Americans to support relief efforts in the battered area.
"Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the people of the Philippines as they mourn so many loved ones and neighbors lost in the awful destruction of Typhoon Haiyan," Obama said on Wednesday. "Here in the United States, we're offering our support to our fellow Filipino-Americans who are worried for family and friends back home.
"The friendship between our two countries runs deep, and when our friends are in trouble, America helps."

It accepts music descriptions that are organised into measures filled with voices, which are filled with notes. The measures can be arranged simultaneously or sequentially. To address the 2-dimensionality, almost all constructs in MDL must be labeled. MDL uses begin/end markers for attribute values and spanners. Rightfully the author concludes that MusiCopy must administrate a "state" variable containing both properties and current spanning symbols. MusiCopy attaches graphic information to the objects constructed in the input: the elements of the input are partially complete graphic objects.

[Edit: For a category $C$ let $C^\wedge$ denote the category of presheaves on $C$.]
Let $f:C\to D$ be a functor. Precomposition with $f^{op}$ induces a functor $f^\wedge:D^\wedge \to C^\wedge$. This functor has both a left- and a right adjoint, called left- and right kan extension:
$f_\wedge \dashv f^\wedge \dashv f_+$.
Now for $c\in C$ we get $D^\wedge(D(-,fc),Y)=Y(fc)=f^\wedge Y(c)=C^\wedge(C(-,c),f^\wedge Y)$. This gives us the restriction of $f_\wedge$ to $C$ along the yoneda embedding: It is $f$ (composed with the yoneda embedding).
Now here's my question:
What is the restriction of $f_+$ to $C$ along the yoneda embedding?
It seems not to agree with $f$ but:
Is there a nice connection between $f_+C(-,c)$ and $D(-,fc)$?

Pedro Martinez re-joins Red Sox as special assistant to General Manager
Pedro's back.
The Boston Red Sox have brought former Cy Young pitcher Pedro Martinez back into the organization, naming him as Special Assistant to the General Manager.
The announcement was made by Executive Vice President/General Manager Ben Cherington.
"We are very excited to have Pedro onboard with us and back in the Red Sox organization," said Cherington. "He was one of the game's most dominant pitchers and without a doubt a beloved figure in Red Sox history. Similar to former teammate Jason Varitek, who joined the baseball operations staff in September, Pedro will be involved in several areas, including the evaluation, mentorship, and instruction of young players in Spring Training and throughout the season."
Martinez, a three-time Cy Young Award winner and eight–time All-Star, spent seven seasons with the Red Sox beginning in 1998 and was a key part of the 2004 team that brought a World Series title to Boston for the first time since 1918.
"I am thrilled to be returning to this organization and to the city I love," Martinez said. "Ben Cherington's meetings this week have been outstanding. It is an honor to be back with the Red Sox and help in any way I can. I am grateful to our leaders; I believe in them, and I thank them for allowing me to return to the field and help us win again. My heart will always live in Boston."
With the Red Sox, Martinez went 117-37 with a 2.52 ERA. He has the best winning percentage in franchise history. He also tops club records with an average of 11.0 strikeouts per nine innings and a .206 opponent batting average.
Among Red Sox all-time leaders, he ranks third in strikeouts (1,683), sixth in wins (117), and seventh in ERA.

Neal Augenstein, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – You probably think you save money by making coffee at home.
Are you sure?
Some countertop appliances cost more to operate than to buy, according to the man whose Bethesda, Md., company provides the first independent analysis of what it will cost to operate the product over the life of the appliance.
"We produce those rating labels that tell you how much a product is going to cost to run, not just how much it's going to cost to buy," says John Jabara, founder of Savenia Labs.
"In the 10- to 12-cup coffeemaker category, the most energy-hungry product used about $200 of electricity over its five-year lifetime, where the most energy- efficient used closer to $30," says Jabara.
"Every bell and whistle costs money on these (appliances)," Jabara says.
The Savenia Labs rating labels are currently displayed at 13 Ace Hardware Stores in the metropolitan Washington area. Strosniders in Bethesda also has them on display.
"Some of the things on coffeemakers that use a lot of energy are 24-hour, 365-day- a-year heating of the water, keeping it hot all the time, that uses a lot of energy.
"Things that use less energy are thermal carafes, with a thermos at the bottom, rather than just a glass carafe. The machine can turn itself off and the thermos keeps the water hot," says Jabara.
Savenia Labs works with University of Maryland's Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering in product testing.
Jabara says the labels provide consumers with a fuller understanding of the costs associated with the product while still in the store.
"If you want a really cool-looking blue light with a clock that lights up your toaster, 24-7, 365, you're probably paying all the time," says Jabara.

Inexcusably lax attitudes at USC and Occidental College toward an epidemic of sexual assaults on the campuses are bad enough.
But given the intense scrutiny these two excellent and otherwise dissimilar Los Angeles schools have been under, you would think that administrators would be extra-vigilant about the legally required reporting of such crimes.
Nope. Despite outrage by students, faculty and the public, Oxy and USC officials admit the opposite is the case. USC failed to report to the Department of Education 13 sexual assaults in 2010 and 2011, bringing the university's total to 39 assaults for those years. While Occidental is much smaller — 2,100 students to USC's 38,000 — its failure to report 24 assaults during the same period brings its total to 36, very nearly as many sex crimes at its leafy Eagle Rock enclave as on and near the giant campus downtown.
What a disastrous atmosphere for women students, and what a failure by those who are supposed to protect them.
Beyond that, like most things in life, it gets complicated. What we are dealing with here is not the kind of scenario most people think of concerning sex crimes: stranger rape, an assailant lurking in the bushes. In almost all cases, the sexual assaults involve campus or campus-area parties among acquaintances. In almost all of them, alcohol is involved.
But to thereby excuse the crimes as inevitable, or no one's fault, or to say that during young people's college years it was ever thus, would be akin to excusing other crimes that once were acceptable by some — lynching, say — in the slightly more enlightened world we live in today.
Rape is rape. No means no. Sexual assault of an inebriated person unable to make rational decisions is against the law, not to mention any moral person's sense of decency.
And the fact is, according to a leader in the fight for campus safety at Occidental, politics professor Caroline Heldman, small, residential colleges such as Oxy are magnets for the young men who commit most of the "date rape" or "party rape" crimes in question. "Three to 4 percent of college men are perpetrating over 90 percent of sexual assaults," Heldman said in an interview with the editorial board. "They rape an average of four times" in their college years. It's precisely because of the seemingly safe atmosphere of residential colleges, where most students live on or near campus and where academic life extends to social life, that the predators are drawn to them, Heldman said. Consequently, such "colleges have an additional obligation because of this" to both promote a safe atmosphere and, when assaults happen, fully report them so that other women are warned, Heldman said.
So what's been the administration's attitude toward the danger of sexual assault at Occidental? "We've been working on it for six years, and we've been getting a lot of little-girling and glad-handing," Heldman said.
Today's college presidents, with a primary focus on fundraising, are clearly afraid of being known as a safe haven for rapists. Campus activists at USC and Oxy say that's why they both under-report assaults and are trying to narrow the geographic area from which they report. At USC, instead of reporting assaults to counselors, students now must take them to campus safety officials for federal reporting.
This epidemic won't be cured by defensiveness and worry about alumni relations. College officials must more fully ensure student safety and stop protecting campus rapists.

live with kelly and michael
Months of rumor and speculation ended this morning as Kelly Ripa proudly introduced legendary NFL star and Fox NFL Sunday broadcaster Michael Strahan as her new co-host during the inaugural broadcast of the newly-rechristened syndicated talk show, LIVE! with Kelly and Michael. After an extensive search encompassing more than nine months and top personalities from every area of broadcasting and entertainment, Strahan joined Ripa today for his first official day as co-host. He previously had made several guest appearances on the show, and co-hosted with Ripa 20 times over the last two years.
As a guest co-host, Michaels chemistry with Kelly was off the charts, and continued to grow each time he visited the show, said Michael Gelman, LIVEs executive producer. The interaction between the co-hosts always has been what makes this show different from any other on television. Kelly and Michaels ability to play off of one another and just plain have a good time together creates great TV for the audience.
We couldnt be more thrilled to have found such a great match in Michael Strahan, said Janice Marinelli, President, Disney-ABC Domestic Television. We had a fun time this past year with the co-host search and all of the terrific personalities who sat in as guest co-hosts, but there was a very special connection between Kelly and Michael. Together theyre the perfect partnership to lead LIVE into another era of success.
Kelly and the LIVE staff have done a great job of evolving the show while searching for a new co-host, and adding new viewers along the way, noted Dave Davis, President and General Manager of WABC. Now theyve found the right partner to continue that evolution. Were excited to add Michaels distinctive new voice to the LIVE family, and cant wait to watch Kelly and Michael take the show to a whole new level.
Prior to joining the ranks of the top sports broadcasters in the country, Strahans entire 15-year football career with the New York Giants was typified by the charisma and sportsmanship that made him a seven-time Pro-Bowler. As leader of the Giants, took the team to a dramatic Super Bowl victory in 2007. He also was named the NFLs 2001 Player of the Year by Sports Illustrated and the 2001 Defensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press.
With a natural affinity for people and an ease in front of the camera, Strahan has held hosting duties for several series prior to joining LIVE. He also has appeared on Pros v. Joes, which pits amateur contestants against professional athletes in a series of athletic feats. Strahan co-hosted the family cable show Backyard Stadiums on DIY Network and built outdoor recreational projects with his co-host.
In addition, he participated in the kid-friendly show Giants on Deck and the YES Network show Sack and Renovate, in which he led a guided tour inside his 100-year-old home. Strahan also tackled the world of scripted network primetime television as the star of Brothers, a 30-minute sitcom on Fox from Sony Pictures Television.

Today, though, I was sorely tempted. Yesterday, we had delivered wonderful new beds for all the rooms at A Butler's Manor -- sumptuous Sealy Posturepedic Titanium 800 coil mattresses that are as thick and yummy as a fine custard. (Okay, sorry about the metaphor; I'm writing this near dinner time.) Lovely plush mattresses, made up with our heavenly Comphy sheets...oooh, I could just crawl into one of them now.
But before we made them, I went into Oak Knoll (with its nice high ceiling) with the intention of kicking off 45+ years of ingrained "thou shalt nots" and trying the bed for bounceability but...nope. Can't do it. Can still hear Mom's voice in my ear. I probably require years of therapy.
Trampolines are made for jumping; beds like these are made for wonderful rest and rejuvenation. These ones are sublime. To paraphrase George at the Men's Wearhouse, "You're gonna like the way you sleep. I guarantee it."

TUMBLER RIDGE, British Columbia, July 24 (UPI) -- New evidence suggests Tyrannosaurs moved and hunted in packs, say scientists in Canada.
Paleontologists have suggested this was the case, as so many Tyrannosaurus fossils are found clustered together. But scientists could never be sure whether a group lived and perished in close proximity or were swept away by flood waters and deposited in the same location.
But a set of Tyrannosaurus tracks -- found, as so many other dinosaur fossils are, in British Columbia -- suggests the fearsome predators migrated in groups and scoured the tundra of western North America in search prey in an organized fashion.
Paleontologists at the Peace Region Paleontology Research Center in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, confirmed the three sets of pristinely preserved Tyrannosaur tracks were made at the same time. They show all three dinos were of similar age and traveling in the same direction. They belong to one of the three Tyrannosaurus species that populated B.C. and Alberta some 70 million years ago -- Albertosaurus, Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus -- all cousins to the better known T. rex.
"When you find three trackways together, going in same direction, it's not necessarily good evidence for gregarious behaviour. They could be walking along a shore. But if all the other animals are moving in different directions, it means there is no geographical constraint, and it strengthens the case," explained Richard McCrea, curator of paleontology at the research center and lead author of a new study on the findings -- published this week in the journal PLOS ONE.
"It's about as strong evidence as you can get without going back in a time machine and observing them," McCrea added.

Cruising: The Silent Addictionby Kuki, CruiseMates Cruise Director
You're with your significant other as beads of perspiration start to form on your forehead; your breathing deepens, with the occasional moan escaping from your throat; your palms are sweating; and you can feel your pulse throughout your body, as your heart begins to race...
You've shared the joyous news. The Travel Agent just called, and your cruise tickets and documents are in. If you're doing back-to-back cruises, it's like you've just had twins.
If this feeling sounds familiar--and it does to me--you should know that you are in serious trouble. How did we get to the point where 50 percent of our waking hours, and 90% of the time we're asleep, we're thinking about cruising?
It starts innocently enough, maybe when you start to consider that it might be nice to take your loved one on a cruise vacation. Perhaps the initial trigger is an upcoming anniversary or birthday. You stop in at a local travel agency to pick up a few brochures, so you can start to learn what cruising is all about. In passing, you mention to a friend that you're considering going on a cruise, and it just happens that they know someone who just came back from one. They helpfully suggest getting together with their "cruising friends" for coffee, so you can get some firsthand information.
The "cruise friends" are delighted to get together and share their vacation experience with someone new. After all, they've already driven everyone in their immediate circle of friends crazy, showing off their pictures and talking about their cruise. To have a "newbie" who's already got a seed planted invigorates them.
Their enthusiasm is contagious as they explain the wonderful food and entertainment, and talk about the terrific friends they made onboard and the fabulous ports they visited. And before they leave, they share the name of their travel agent, who always gets the best prices anywhere. The line is in the water, and it's just a matter of time before you're hooked and booked.
Before you know it, after you return from your cruise you discover you have become just like them--driving everyone you know to the brink with your cruise talk. Then, by a stroke of overwhelming luck, you check the Internet and find CruiseMates.com. Amazing! There are all kinds of people here who aren't bored by incessant cruise talk. They actually enjoy discussing all the various aspects of cruising. They share your joy when you run to the computer to tell the world you've just booked another cruise. They happily share links to information about ports of call, and tours, and before you know it, they're suggesting that you cruise together.
It all seemed innocent enough to me too, to begin with, but it's really an insidious plot, and since you are now reading this, you must realize now that it's too late for you to return to what you once were.
The good news is it's really a really a rather minor affliction--as long as you've got another cruise or two booked.

Ten... earphones for mobiles
Hear, say
Product Round-up Here we go again with some more headphones, but this time I'm looking at those faithful friends you'd use on a daily basis with your smartphone. While still likely to be churning through MP3s, their function is also to act as hands-free kit, so conversational ability is key.
While you can spend silly money on smartphone earbuds, this round-up focuses more on models models that are in double figures, with just a few notable exceptions.
Given the range to choose from, there are a mix of models with some headsets specifically designed for the iPhone along with others to suit other popular smartphone brands. Listen up.
At first glance, these basic buds hardly stand out from the pack. The cable is flimsy and easily tangles, plus the lightweight chambers sit in the ears like a regular pair of freebie earbuds – they were a bit scratchy too. When I recovered from these superficial wounds, I discovered this headset could knock out an impressive sound.
The K-350s benefit from a loud output, driven by a crisp top end, a smooth mid-range and a prominent bass to hold things together. At full volume, things start to get distorted, but this headset goes plenty loud so there's no need to turn things up all the way.
The built-in controls sit around the mouth area, so while they may fumble more changing tunes, the microphone delivers a clear voice and doesn't pick up a great deal of background noise. The controls and mic are functional only with iOS devices.
The K-350s certainly deliver a big sound for the price, and come with a trapezoid-shaped case and two extra pairs of eartips. Even so, I couldn't get on with the fit and have had to knock the rating down a notch as a result.

Audio Technica CK400i
The CK400i headset is Audio Technica's low-end model that endeavours to take things up a level from the freebie buds you get with an iPhone. For other smartphones, the company makes an alternative model, the CK400is.
Despite being comfortable, they wouldn't stay in my ears properly, falling out far too often. I considered some comply-foam tips would probably help matters, and had a go at changing tips around, which turned out to be more of a struggle than you'd expect.
The design is fairly basic, with a bog standard symmetric cable and a few extra silicone tips. The chambers on each earpiece look like little brothers of the Audio-Technica CKS90's bass-chambers, which, by the way, also come with an in-line mic in the form of the CKS90i and are worth considering, if you have the cash to splash.
Unlike the CKS90s, though, the CK400s don't deliver much bass at all and there's a mid to top end emphasis. The less-than satisfactory fit doesn't help matters either, but even when held in place, the bass is still overpowered by the high-end presence.
In-line controls hang on the right side and perform well. The call quality and suppressed outside noise are impressive too. For the price, they offer fairly reasonable value, but for listening to music, they just don't cut it and need more of a robust bottom end that you'd find on Audio Techica's more up-market alternatives.

Facebook is planning to go public no later than April 30, 2012, according to a report.
The news comes on the heels of the Palo Alto-based social networking site raising another $1.5 billion at a valuation of about $50 billion.
The latest round of funding came from Goldman Sachs and its overseas clients. Goldman Sachs and Russia-based Digital Sky Technologies invested $500 million in Facebook in December.
Facebook sent a press release Friday saying it expected to pass 500 shareholders, which would require the company to begin filling public reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The social networking site said it had no immediate plans about what it would do with the money.

Brain Science Podcast
Listener Comments
"Your podcast clearly reflect your TREMENDOUS devotion to inspiring young scientists - getting them warmed up about neuroscience in a very non-intimidating manner...
You take amazingly detailed, complex concepts and translate them into 'bite-sized' concepts easy for non-scientists to consume. Your "words of advice" for young scientists are always worthwhile pearls of wisdom, and your commentaries and 'side conversations' regarding scientific methods, ethics of research are always enlightening!
Best of all is that your thoughtfulness and humility permeate the conversations..."
"Ginger Campbell is a National Treasure! I met her by sheer chance on the tennis court. Later, while she was helping me with a "big" upgrade on my Apple computer, I excitedly told her about a podcast I had just heard on Radio Lab. Naturally she said, "Well, you might enjoy my podcast." Well indeed!!! We are so fortunate to have someone putting out this podcast. I love how Ginger can take an issue concerning the brain and so plainly explain the significance. I have gone back and listened to every episode. The Brain Science Podcast really is "the show for everyone who has a brain! Thanks Ginger for helping me understand my brain."
"I found my way to the Brain Science Podcast from a physical therapist friend. We often talked about basic motor skill ideas I used in my trampoline classes and he directed me to this incredible ongoing site where an advanced and accessible neuroscience keeps me tuned into so much in this field. Understanding Proprioception for acrobatics is still my main focus but great scientists from around the world interviewed here tempt me every month to look at this brain from yet another important perspective."
"On December 8, 2006, I was injured in high speed auto accident, which left me with a severe head injury. The next week Ginger Campbell launched her Brain Science Podcast but I don't remember those early weeks after my accident. Before the accident I had been studying Systems Neuroscience at Georgia Tech, which might explain why (according to my wife) I was constantly asking the doctors and nurses technical questions about the brain, even though I immediately forgot our conversations. I also found that while I could still read fluently, I was unable to remember what I read.
When I finally got home after spending over a month in 2 hospitals, I went into iTunes searching for podcasts about neuroscience. My professional interest in the topic had become quite personal! I was immediately drawn to the Brain Science Podcast. I found that Ginger was covering topics that either applied to my research or, more importantly, to my attempts to recover the neuroscience I had learned in the two years before my accident.
Six years later I still enjoy listening to the Brain Science Podcast. It helps me to review and consolidate things I have already learned, and to learn new things about different aspects of neuroscience."
Share Your Story
"Though I may be accused of binge-listening, I have, indeed, consumed every BSP episode. Dr. Campbell is one of the most prepared hosts on the internet and never fails to deliver meaty, insightful discussions. Aside from the fascination of how the brain works, I've actually been able to apply some of the knowledge I've gleaned directly to my tennis teaching by way of guests like Sian Beilock Choke, David Eagleman and Antonio Damasio, not to mention how and why people behave as we do. I may have even become more tolerant of others as a result of that understanding. One can only hope."

Engagement and wedding rings are everyday jewelry, and everyday jewelry can really take a beating. So, it's good that diamond (the stone most commonly used in wedding jewelry) is the hardest substance on earth. But that doesn't mean diamonds, or your setting, are indestructible.
We've pulled together an exhaustive list of Dos and Don'ts for taking the best care possible of your fine jewelry.
Let's start with the Don'ts. You'll be surprised how many there are.
Around the House
• Don't garden while wearing your ring. It'll get dirty, damaged, or worse, fall off and get lost.
• Don't clean your house while wearing your ring. Cleaning solvents are tough on metals.
• Don't wear your ring in the kitchen. Hard surfaces, such as countertops, can chip stones or damage metal. Food particles can get stuck and get your ring dirty. Think about that the next time you make meatloaf.
• Don't shower with your jewelry on. Don't let anything down the drain that you might want back. Soap and shower gel leave a film on diamonds, making them dull. Plus, prongs and earrings can get caught on towels.
• Don't sleep in your jewelry. Prongs and earring posts can get caught on bed sheets and are susceptible to bending. Earrings, like socks, have been known to disappear into another dimension, never to be seen again.
At Work
• Don't wear your ring at work if your job involves physical labor. You could catch a prong or chip the stone.
• Don't wear around metal file cabinets. One wrong knock at the wrong angle on a hard surface can chip a diamond or gemstone or damage the metal.
In and Around Water
• Don't wear your jewelry in a hot tub. The chlorine can affect the metal.
• Don't wear your ring swimming. Your fingers shrink when cold and could cause the ring to slip off. Plus, see above for the chlorine issue.
• Don't wear your jewelry at the beach. Sand is abrasive and hard to dig through should your jewelry fall off. Additionally, sunscreen can dull the luster and shine of many gemstones.
At the Gym
• Don't work out with your jewelry on, for obvious reasons, but also because perspiration can sometimes cause an allergic reaction with the metal, especially if you're allergic to certain alloys. Wearing your ring while lifting weights can scratch the metal. (An ancillary don't: Don't leave your jewelry in your locker unless it's locked.)
The DOs:
In Your Jewelry Box
• Do keep your jewelry in separate soft bags in your jewelry box so they don't scratch each other. Diamonds can easily scratch other diamonds,
as well as other stones and metals.
• Do think about reserving certain gemstone jewelry, such as emeralds, for special occasion wear only. Emeralds are relatively soft stones, thus more susceptible to damage than harder stones such as diamond, sapphire, and ruby.
• Do wear your pearls often! The natural oil in our skin helps keep the pearl lustrous. But be sure to treat them with care. Because they are relatively soft, and can be easily scratched, pearls should be stored in a soft bag when not being worn and wiped clean with a soft cloth to remove any residual cosmetics or perfume that can affect luster.
• Like pearls, wear your sterling silver jewelry often and polish it on a regular basis. It helps to cut down on the amount of tarnishing between wearing. Also store silver in an airtight jewelry box or bag (you'd be amazed at how well a Ziploc baggie works in this situation) as exposure to air leads to more tarnish.
Lifestyle Considerations and General Maintenance
• Do have your jewelry (especially your wedding jewelry) checked a minimum of once a year, which means ensuring the stones are secure and inspected for
any issues arising from normal wear. Again, something Blue Nile offers on all the jewelry we sell for the life of the piece.
• Do consider a secure bezel-set ring if you have an active lifestyle or certain careers, such as a hairstylist. Bezel settings don't have prongs, which can get caught or bend, and the stone is surrounded by metal, which means it's less likely to be affected by sharp blows. A diamond set on a high prong is most at risk for damage. Delicate pavé or micro-pavé settings with very small prongs are most at risk of loosening or falling out.
• Do consider having your engagement and wedding rings soldered together to extend their life and minimize repairs and maintenance. Wear and tear can occur if the two rub together excessively.
• Do make sure your ring fits you well. Luckily, we resize most Blue Nile jewelry free of charge. No reason not to get that taken care of.
• Do have your white gold pieces re-plated with rhodium by a Blue Nile jeweler when they start to look a little less bright. Rhodium is a hard, white
metal in the platinum family that protects white gold and keeps it looking white and shiny.
• Do enjoy the natural patina that platinum takes on over time. A light buff by Blue Nile jewelers can restore the shine lickety-split.
• Do get your jewelry insured by Jewelers Mutual with special coverage above and beyond your renter's or homeowner policy.

Apple, IBM in Deal to Create Apps, Sell Phones
Tech Firms Plan to Create Business Apps and Sell iPhones, iPads to IBM's Corporate Customers
Enemies during the early personal-computer wars, Apple Inc. and International Business Machines Corp. said they will cooperate in the mobile era, striking an agreement to create simple-to-use business apps and sell iPhones and iPads to Big Blue's corporate customers.
The deal underscores Apple's push to expand the reach of the iPhone and iPad into the business world—beyond their traditional base among consumers. IBM, meanwhile, is hoping Apple's simplicity and popularity will help stem eight consecutive quarters of year-over-year...

Framework X: A Decade of Research, Collaboration, and Treatment
May 9–25, 2014
Framework X showcases this year's results of the Museum's frame conservation apprenticeship program. In this program, now in its tenth year, Smith College and other Five-College students are trained by Chief Preparator William Myers and Associate Director David Dempsey in the techniques of frame conservation. Featured in this installation are two historically accurate frames, the first for George William Bellows, Pennsylvania Excavation (1907), and the second for William Baxter Closson, Fighting Peacocks. Two frames were also carefully conserved, a late 19th-century American frame in the style of Louis XV and the frame for Dwight William Tryon, November Evening (1924).
The students participating in the frame project during the academic year 2013–2014 were Breana Latty (class of 2011); Hannah Braun (Mount Holyoke College, class of 2012); Tatiana Shannon (Hampshire College, class of 2013); Chelsie Dias, Victoria Grace, Jennifer Leman, Ashley Temple, and Elisabeth Wroth (all class of 2014); Candace Kang and Emily Kim (both class of 2015); Ashley Kosa (Mount Holyoke College, class of 2015); Maria Cristina Del Valle, Isabella Galdone, Emily Gallagher, Madeline Goldstein, Sally Ann Garvey, Clara Rosebrock, and Geneva Strauss-Wise (all class of 2016); and Hui Yan (class of 2017).
Framework X would like to thank Adeline Shaw Myers (class of 2005), who aided in the design and gilding of the Bellows frame. Additional thanks are due to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts Frame and Furniture Conservation labs, and especially to Andres Haines and Gordon Hanlon. Thanks go to the Brooklyn Museum of Art for their assistance concerning the construction of the Bellows frame, and in particular to Teri Carbone, Curator of American Art, and Kristen Patterson, Assistant Paintings Conservator. Lynn Roberts, Art and Frame Historian (Tunbridge Wells, UK), played a pivotal role in both the design of the Bellows frame and the conservation of the Stanford White frame for the Dwight Tryon. Special thanks to Elisabeth Gatti (class of 1985) and her team at the Valley Veterinary Clinic in Hadley, MA, who assisted in the X-Ray investigation of the Stanford White frame. Stacy Finkelstein, the Visual Arts Digital Coordinator in the Smith College Art Department, assisted in the photo documentation of the treatment and X-ray of the Stanford White frame. Many thanks go to James Hume, woodshop technician in the Smith College Art Department, and David Dempsey, Associate Director for Museum Services at SCMA, for milling the frames for the Closson and the Bellows paintings respectively.
