It is all we do.
It is all we do.
We all know that mobile is an ever-increasing means to reach your audience. Every new Pew Research study shows the trends in mobile accelerating. It's your station's new tower. Are you ready to go mobile?
If so, you've come to the right place. We are Public Media Apps and we build station branded apps for Public TV, Joint Licensees and Public Radio. We think and focus on one thing only: Public Media. We know Public Media and it's all we do. Our goal is to connect you to your members, listeners and viewers on the devices that they love and can't seem to live without.
Integrated with NPR's API, PBS' Media Manager and tools to connect to your CMS, Public Media Apps has learned what works for Public Media. Serving more than 150 stations today, we get it and we'll make it easy for you while being efficient and affordable. We are the software company-not you!
How do we do it? Stations. Our apps are built from the expertise and experience of our clients. And our business model allows everyone to share everyone's great ideas without a penny more. Public Media Apps charges a single yearly fee. No other charges for changes or feature enhancements.
Your app is a true representation of your station. That means you have choices. You choose how you'd like the layout, you choose what and how content is seen, heard and read by your users. We work with you every step of the way to make your app the right app for your station. And content is controlled from the server, so you can change your content as frequently as you like without having to release an app update!
Advanced underwriting opportunities featuring full screen takeovers, video and audio prerolls, banners and more create LOTS of new underwriting opportunities. Served from your DFP account or our free server, each channel can have a unique underwriting structure. Many Public Media Apps clients create more than 20 new underwriting opportunities and can more than pay for their apps utilizing the new real estate.
How important is good live streaming? It's everything. Public Media Apps hand crafted our streaming engine from the ground up to ensure that streaming is as perfect as possible. With metro-area congestion and rural area weak coverage, streaming is always a challenge, but no app does it better. With automatic "down-shifting" and "up-shifting" between bit rates, our apps make sure that you deliver the best fidelity possible within the available bandwidth.
Imagine your app with all of your content - just like your members would expect. No other app provider can offer you the depth and breadth of content accessibility like we can. Your listeners and viewers will be able to access your station wherever they are, whenever they want. Local, National, Networks, Members Only (Passport) and Independent content at their fingertips-anytime.
We spent four years making on-demand a reality for your station. We do all the work to make sure that your app can make all your programs available on-demand. Our metrics show that on-demand is the fastest growing segment of listening and watching.
And most importantly, it's all incremental to live listening and watching.
For music format radio stations and joint licensees, Public Media Apps support receiving song data through ID3 tags and other transmission types. With song data, album art can be retrieved so your users can see what's playing right now in its full glory.
And wherever your playlists are archived, we'll make them available to be reviewed anytime.
Choosing between platforms is practically impossible. You need to be on the platforms that your members, listeners and viewers are on.
So with Public Media Apps you don't have to choose! We support iOS, Android and Kindle. And if another operating system becomes popular, we'll support it too.
We build native iOS and Android apps from the ground up, so you get high performing apps that adjust to whatever screen size you have.
An app that looks good on a tablet is now a must. Gone are the days when it was acceptable to have your phone app scale up to a tablet screen.
Public Media Apps scale perfectly to larger screens - in both portrait and landscape orientation. More content becomes available with larger screens, revealing more of your great content to your users.
And if a new screen size arrives next month, Public Media Apps are already ready!
(And many more...)
We serve over 160 stations today, all in public media - it's all we do.
We'd love to work with you and build your app to extend your station's reach to your listeners, viewers and members - on the devices they can't live without!
Feel free to contact me directly!

Student or Learner
It is a controversial issue whether using e-mail or text message is better than using telephone or voice message or not if people need to discuss upsetting or controversial problems with others.
Is there any better way to say this sentence?
This is perhaps the third thread in which you have started with "It is a controversial issue whether..."
This is not a natural.
It's also rarely a matter of "controversy" which carries a sense of disagreement with heated argument, not simply a matter of disagreement. If I want Chinese food for dinner and you want pizza, we disagree on our dinner plans, but there is no "controversy" in the common connotation of the word. In this very passage, you refer to "upsetting or controversial" problems.
Try starting as Bill suggested, or even more simply: People disagree on whether...

The Cicada Club in downtown LA is one of my favorite venues. You really feel like you're going back in time when you enter this amazing Art Deco space. The bands are always authentic. However, most of the time it's prudent to bring your own partner – this is primarily a restaurant and bar, not necessarily a Swing venue. But, there can be nights where there are plenty of partners.
There is a formal dress code, but for good reason – it would be a shame for people in shorts and t-shirts to ruin the 1930's feel. Plus, can be fun to dress up once in a while, so bring your dance crew and give the Cicada Club a try! Front floor is somewhat small, but you can also dance on the marble floor upstairs which is usually empty.
|Varies, see the Lindy Calendar on this site.

Astronomy Lockscreen is a brand new app now available for Windows Phone. The app (as the name suggests) is a simple concept that pulls down the Astronomy Picture of the Day from the Nasa website. It's able to refresh each day with a new photo of the universe, sending any Windows Phone into another dimension.
While being little more than a basic app, Astronomy Lockscreen (developed by Martin Suchan - @martinsuchan) is a great solution for those who enjoy looking at new images of what's beyond our skies.
You can download Astronomy Lockscreen from the Windows Phone Store for free.

I'm working on repairing and restoring WWdN (don't get too excited or update your bookmarks just yet, my blog will live here no matter what), and while I was cleaning up duplicate blog entries, I came across several unpublished drafts of posts that I decided were too personal to publish, too unfocused, or just never finished.
This looks like it was probably the beginning of something that I never finished. I think it kind of shows something important - a blurry snapshot, I guess - from a very particular time in my life. This is from 2003. I haven't published Just A Geek, I'm struggling like crazy in every way that maters, and I'm not quite 31:
I just got back from the grocery store, where I was picking up breakfast for tomorrow morning. While I was picking up my bags to leave, the cashier, a man in his 40s who has helped me in the past, turned to me and said, "Hey, you know who you look like?"
I told him that I didn't . . . but I was pretty sure I knew where he was headed.
"Wil Wheaton," he told me.
"Yeah, that's me," I replied, feeling self conscious and embarassed, as I always do when this happens.
He paused, and frowned.
"No way. You are not!" He declared with a chuckle, "good try, though."
I didn't write beyond that, so I don't know exactly (and can't remember) how it made me feel as I walked out to my car, but I imagine I felt pretty lousy. Prove To Everyone was loud and relentless back then, and what would make me smile and laugh now just made me feel like shit then. Maybe that's why I didn't write about it, because it would have been a big old pity party.
I can look back on it now, though, since I know what happens (eventually), and want to tell 2003 me not to worry too much, that we're going to (eventually) be okay, so just stay on target and keep on working at it ... but even if I could, I wouldn't. Those years were painful, but they were necessary.
Still, a little hug wouldn't hurt, right?

|Plaster overmantel with figures of War and Peace in teh Great Chamber of Plas Tirion
As mentioned in last week's Heritage of Wales blog , as part of their partnership work with the Dating Old Welsh Houses community-based history project, Royal Commission staff recently visited a cluster of historical houses nestling in the Conwy Valley. One of the finest examples of these houses is Plas Tirion, an early-seventeenth-century winged-mansion with wonderfully-preserved plasterwork dated 1626 and 1628. The house is currently being lovingly restored by Nat and Sophie Scharer of the Natural Building Centre. To the south-west of the house lies a cowshed which unexpectedly incorporates the earlier house. Here, a single archaic smoke-blackened cruck truss survives and was successfully sampled by the dendrochronologist, Dan Miles.
The visit has been captured on three short films made by Huw Jenkins, community reporter for BBC Radio Wales, and may be viewed by simply clicking the link below.

Nestled in the cool shadows of the big man himself, the Garden of the Sleeping Giant is one of the more pleasant discoveries you'll make during your visit to Fiji. In fact, this garden could well be one of the best kept horticultural secrets in the whole of the South Pacific.The Garden, which contains a vast collection of more than 2000 varieties of magnificent Asian orchids and Cattleya hybrids, was once the private collection of the late American actor Raymond Burr.
Now open to the public, the garden is a wonderful spot to spend a day just wandering along the canopy-covered boardwalk, through gorgeously landscaped lawns, across calm lily ponds complete with trickling fountains and croaking frogs and finally into the heart of a dense rainforest.
But the highlight of the tour has to be the orchids themselves. Carefully tended and well displayed, these fragile flowers are breath-takingly beautiful when seen in the golden light of early morning. A visit to the Garden of the Sleeping Giant begins with a greeting from a member of the staff, a brief description of the property and a little history of how this mountain valley was transformed into the fantasy garden it is today. Guides are available at no additional cost, to walk you through the grounds and put names to the floral faces you'll find around any corner.
While flowers are the focus of the garden, this is not a place enjoyed only by the horticulturally inclined. The walk along the path cut through a tropical rainforest at the base of the Sleeping Giant Mountain is alone worth the trip and kids of all ages will love the romp across the expanse of manicured lawns.
And when you have explored the garden to your heart's delight, a cool complimentary fruit drink awaits you as you leave.
ContactThe Garden of the Sleeping Giant is located on the Wailoko Road, just 6.5km (4 miles) North of Nadi Airport, the Garden is an easy drive from any Nadi area hotel or join one of the regularly scheduled tours visiting the Garden. Or take a taxi the driver will be delighted to return to the Garden.

Vietnam-born Khu and Uyen Vu became Australian citizens today - but they were beaten to the punch by their baby boy.
Born just five days ago, Long Vu automatically became a citizen because his parents are permanent residents.
But mum and dad had to wait until Australia Day before they too could become fully fledged Aussies.
"We've called Australia home for a while now and today we've become Australian citizens," a smiling Mr Vu told the crowd at a citizenship ceremony in Canberra on Saturday.
Mr and Mrs Vu and their eldest child Minh, three, who was born when his parents were on student visas - were among 100 people to take the citizenship pledge in the capital, with 22 attending a special lakeside ceremony attended by Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Governor-General Quentin Bryce.
The ACT's group are among a record 17,059 people from 145 countries to take the citizenship pledge around the country this Australia Day.
Ms Gillard, who was born in the UK, said she was a proud member of the millions who had taken the pledge since 1949.
"As migrants - all four million of us - we did not just adopt a new country," she said.
"We helped transform it and enrich it and together, as new Australians and old, we made this experiment work."
The prime minister - who was about seven minutes late to the ceremony because of a timing mix-up - said Australia's newest citizens had followed many paths to get here.
"This is your new country, and you'll never want another. Welcome to citizenship. Welcome to Australia. Welcome home," she said.
World-renowned British actor Miriam Margolyes was among those to take the pledge in Canberra.
Known for roles in the television comedy Blackadder, Martin Scorsese's The Age of Innocence and more recently the Harry Potter films, Ms Margolyes first came to Australia in the 1980s.
Receiving her citizenship certificate from Ms Gillard, she joked about why it took her three decades to finally commit to citizenship.
"Well, you have to be sure don't you," she said to a loud cheer from the crowd. "Now I am!"
"I'm just very happy to be here and I will be with friends and the rest of my life will be joyous," she added.
National Australia Day Council chair Adam Gilchrist told the crowd new citizens will enjoy all the opportunities Australia can provide.
"There's no doubt we are richer, we are stronger and a more egalitarian country because they and many others choose to come here," he said.
He also spoke about Australia's love of sport.
"As fully fledged Australians, now you will know what cricket and tennis teams to support," he joked.
The ceremony was also attended by Australian of the Year Ita Buttrose, Young Australian of the Year Akram Azimi, Senior Australian of the Year Professor Ian Maddocks and Australia's 2013 Local Hero, indigenous leader Shane Phillips.

Shaun Chaudhuri didn't drop a set Sunday in a pair of singles victories (Harvard Athletic Communications).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A long day for the No. 23 Harvard men's tennis team ended with the Crimson claiming a pair of dual match victories Sunday at the Murr Center Tennis Courts. Harvard (9-4) began the day by edging Louisville (8-6), 4-3, and picked up a convincing 6-1 victory over Boston University (4-2) in the afternoon affair.
Doubles once again proved to be the deciding factor for the Crimson in the match against the Cardinals, as the Crimson took two of three doubles courts to jut out to a 1-0 lead. Harvard's top team of Casey MacMaster and Denis Nguyen earned a break and held on to secure an 8-5 win over Albert Wagner and Alex Gomet. Louisville's No.2 team of Sebastian Stiefelmeyer and Amaury Damrongsri bested Harvard's second tandem of Andy Nguyen and Nicky Hu, 9-7, but Harvard's third team of Alex Steinroeder and Kelvin Lam returned the favor, securing a 9-7 win of their own at No. 3 to earn the doubles point.
Shaun Chaudhuri earned the most convincing win of the match for Harvard in singles action, topping Wagner on the second court, 6-4, 6-2. Hu followed suit with a straight-set win of his own, downing Luis Elizondo, 6-4, 6-3 at No. 5, giving Harvard three points on the day. Denis (No. 1) and Andy Nguyen (No. 4) dropped their singles matches, with Denis Nguyen's going to a third set, but Alex Steinroeder clinched the match for Harvard with a 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 three-set victory at third singles.
The Crimson put out a different but dominant lineup in the afternoon showdown with Boston University, and began the match by cruising to the doubles point. Andy Nguyen and Hu moved up a spot to No. 1 doubles and downed Josh Friedman and Chanon Varapongsittikul, 8-2, while MacMaster and Lam blanked Jesse Frieder and Emilio Teran at No. 2, 8-0. Steinroeder teamed with Conor Haughey at third doubles to secure an 8-5 win over Michael Kopelman and Stefan Lemire.
Chaudhuri (No. 1) and Henry Steer (No. 4) cruised to singles victories, both recording 6-1, 6-0 wins on the day. Lam picked up a straight-set win at No. 3 over Frieder, 6-3, 6-2, as did Haughey at No. 5 over Kopelman, 6-2, 7-5. Andy Nguyen worked for a three-set win over Varapongsittikul at No. 2, 6-4, 1-6, 1-0, to secure Harvard's final singles victory on the evening.
Up next, the Crimson wings west for its spring break trip March 21-23, when it will take part in the Mission Valley Spring Classic in San Diego, Calif.

On paper, Dr. Robert C. Green should be worried. An analysis of his DNA flagged a rare mutation in a gene linked to a condition that causes facial deformities at birth. But Green only has to look in the mirror to know that he does not have the disorder, Treacher Collins syndrome.
"Most likely this is not a meaningful mutation," the Brigham and Women's Hospital geneticist said, pulling up alarming photos on his computer screen of people with the condition. "I know this, but imagine if you're a pregnant woman and someone reported that mutation out to you about your baby. Can you imagine?"
Green's experience shines a light on an important truth about DNA: The facts about your genes are not necessarily facts about you. That truth has gotten lost in the hype around genome-sequencing technology.
The public tends to see DNA as holding almost-mystical power to inform us about what treatments to take or what diseases to guard against, and this belief, combined with falling prices for gene sequencing, has driven a surge in people having their genomes analyzed. But in reality, interpreting a healthy person's DNA with the current tools and understanding of human genetics is tricky.
Now researchers and private companies are attacking the problem, by refining the technology for analyzing DNA and building curated databases that will provide a reliable reference for understanding the connections between rare mutations and disease.
Much of the underlying medical research used to make these connections has limitations, and that can lead to confusion. If the genome is the book of life, that same book could tell a different story, depending on which gene-testing laboratory is trying to make sense of the words.
Every person carries millions of alterations, called genetic variants, in the billions of "letters" that make up the genome. Think of these alterations, or variations, as typos.
The problem is that there's no agreement on which ones are important to human health, which are damaging or contribute to a disease, and which are basically harmless. But the National Institutes of Health announced last year that it was putting $25 million toward the development of more authoritative resources to help physicians make sense of the millions of variants in their patients' DNA.
In the journal Nature last month, a team of scientists reported on solutions proposed during an NIH workshop to the problem of figuring out what rare genetic variations mean, and warned that if it is not tackled head on, patients may be given incorrect treatments or advice by doctors.
"There's an expectation that it is black and white, that, oh, if you just read your genes, you will determine your future, and if you have this gene or this variant it will tell you what's going to happen to you," said Heidi Rehm, chief laboratory director of the Partners HealthCare Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, and a leader in improving the tools used to analyze genomes. The genome is less like a dictionary in which every genetic variant is linked definitively to a disease, and much like other kinds of medical tests that are weighed in combination with a person's symptoms and their family history.
A gene mutation that has been determined to be the root of a lifetime of medical woes for one person might be far less predictive for another person. For example, much-publicized mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes that were initially linked to a very high risk of breast cancer at an early age have turned out to be a less clear indicator if they are detected in women without a family or personal history of disease. Those women may develop cancer later in life, or not at all.
Solving the problem requires a broader understanding of where the current limitations come from, and a large piece of that is how medical research has worked so far. The medical and scientific literature is filled with studies that can't be used to interpret the genomes of the general population because scientists have often identified potentially disease-causing variations by studying the sickest people.
That is a productive way to study disease, but not the broader population of people who have the genetic variation.
Last year, for example, a team of scientists from the Broad Institute in Cambridge sequenced seven genes from two broad groups of people, searching for variants that previous studies implicated in a rare, inherited form of diabetes that strikes early in life. They reported in the journal Nature Medicine that 1.5 percent of 1,541 participants in the Framingham Heart Study and 0.5 percent of 1,691 participants in the Jackson Heart Study carried a supposedly disease-causing variant. Almost none had any symptoms of the rare form of diabetes that typically strikes before people turn 25, despite years of close monitoring.
Those puzzling results are a consequence of how the original studies identifying the disease-causing genes were done. Dr. David Altshuler, a founding member of the Broad Institute who led the study, compares the way genetic studies have traditionally been done to studying the patients at a lung cancer clinic to estimate how smoking increases the risk of lung cancer.
"I wouldn't have included in my study people with smoking history who didn't get lung cancer, and that's exactly what we're doing in the history of genetics," Altshuler said. "You will get the wrong answer, in a very predictable way, if you take a set of data collected in individuals with extreme, rare disease and take a person who doesn't have any disease and try to extrapolate what their risk would be based on people who were selected precisely because of their rare disease."
Add to that the variability in how different laboratories analyze genomes and the situation grows more complicated. In 2012, Boston Children's Hospital sponsored the CLARITY challenge, a competition to identify the genes causing mysterious diseases in three separate children by crunching raw DNA from their families. The teams did not all come up with the same results.
"If you give a genome to 27 different labs, you will often get different answers," Rehm said. Her group won the CLARITY competition.
One slide Rehm uses when she is giving talks shows how widely these interpretations vary. Three genomics laboratories cataloged all the genetic variants they knew that were linked to developmental disorders called RASopathies.
Theoretically, these results should largely overlap. But the labs didn't agree on what 53 of those genetic variants meant. And a portion of those interpretations were wildly divergent. For example, one lab asserted there wasn't enough information to know what a genetic variant meant, while another said it was definitely pathogenic.
The genome carries powerful information about disease risk and can be an important tool in unraveling disease, and techniques and databases are already being improved. But the pace may not be as fast as the embrace of DNA as a medical tool. Scientists see a day of reckoning ahead.
"There's going to be a massive awareness of what we don't know and the discrepancies about what people are saying about things," Rehm said. Then, she said, the problems will be fixed.

Science has solved spam. Once the scourge of in-boxes everywhere, junk e-mail now sets off automatic traps that identify, quarantine, and eliminate spam with near perfect accuracy. So why do in-boxes still feel so cluttered?
"We got to this point in our e-mail where the spam filter is doing its job, yet our in-boxes are still filled," says Jamie Siminoff, a serial Web entrepreneur in Santa Monica, Calif.
For Mr. Siminoff, the spam has been replaced with "bacon."
Bacon describes the gray area between the personal e-mail you want and the spam you don't. It's newsletters, coupons, and notifications – commercial e-mail that you probably signed up for but now receive far too often.
"Bacon is all of your Facebook notifications or bank e-mails saying that a bill is due," says Tommy Vallier, a social media consultant and one of the people that coined the term at a Pittsburgh technology conference in 2007. "We came up with the word just as bacon really started to become a problem."
That year, retailers sent an average of 85 e-mails to each of their subscribers. Since then, the number has nearly doubled to 152 messages, according to the marketing firms Responsys and Sendito.
Web watchers expect that this outsized helping of bacon will continue to pile up. Shipping an e-mail costs 1/100th of a cent, 1/2000th the cost of bulk postage rates. And according to Brightwave Marketing, on average, every dollar spent on bacon brings in $43.52 in sales. No wonder Forrester Research expects e-mail marketing budgets to climb by a third to $2 billion in 2014.
Bacon may be good business, but Mr. Vallier says it also drags on his productivity. So he devised a few tricks to keep his bacon consumption under control.
"The biggest thing that I recommend to people is filters, filters, filters," he says. Most modern e-mail clients, such as Gmail or Outlook, can automatically flag bacon – marking a message with a colored tag, placing the letter immediately into organized folders, or deleting it on sight.
For example, Vallier used the "mail settings" in the top-right corner of his Gmail screen to categorize incoming messages as soon as they arrive. The website can automatically label e-mail based on who sent it, the subject line, and whether certain words are or are not included in the letter. E-mails from his wife get a bold tag, so he'll notice them right away. Bacon receives a light blue sticker, visual shorthand for "not urgent."
In other situations, families hunting for a good deal on a new television could set their in-boxes to highlight any bacon that mentions "TV" or "plasma." Expecting parents can flag everything containing the word "baby."
If you're wary about handing out your e-mail address to retailers, Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo's paid Plus service each allow users to set up disposable e-mail accounts called plus addresses.
This lets you add the + symbol before the @ and then attach any term you want in between. For example, you might give one store firstname.lastname@example.com, then give another retailer firstname.lastname@example.com. You can then filter your in-box based on these plus addresses. (This also lets you see who is sharing or selling your e-mail address to other vendors.)
If this all sounds like too much work, Gmail introduced an experimental Priority Inbox feature late last year. The service automatically sorts your in-box, placing friends or desired bacon at the top and nuisance mail near the bottom. How does it figure out which is which? Priority Inbox tries to learn by watching which letters you reply to, which you simply read, and which you ignore. It then ranks incoming messages in that order, so important letters always rise to the top.
Unlike spam, bacon often comes with the option to unsubscribe. So rather than his bacon and let it pile up, Siminoff initially tried removing his name from each mailing list. "But that takes time to do," he says, "about two minutes each."
Frustrated by this slow process, Siminoff and some business partners started Unsubscribe.com, a company that will keep your e-mail address off unwanted mailing lists.
Unsubscribe's software creates a new button in your e-mail box. Highlight any unwanted letter, give it a click, and Unsubscribe will jump through the hoops of ensuring you never get another message from that company. The service costs $3 a month or $20 a year.
"Spam may come from Russia and Nigeria, but bacon comes from legitimate companies," Siminoff says. "Even if they're not doing it properly, they know to stop bothering you if you ask."

DescriptionYou are Yucatan Sam on a quest to explore the temple of Quintana Roo. Your goal is to find the vault which is hidden somewhere within and return with the treasure that is inside. You begin your quest outside the temple; climb your way up the side of the temple in order to get inside. Poisonous snakes and deadly lightning bolts will block your progress here. Once inside the temple, you have a limited air supply so you need to explore quickly.
Hidden in various rooms of the temple are numerous keys which are needed to unlock the vault. The keys and some other useful items are hidden in secret rooms which you need to locate by using your trusty pick axe or the flasks of acid you carry. To help figure out which rooms may contain hidden objects, you carry a geiger counter with you; the higher the reading, the closer you are to something of interest.
The rooms you'll be exploring are guarded by snakes, spiders, and even mummies. To deal with these enemies you carry a gun, and you can also use the acid flasks against them (ammo is limited, so use it wisely). If you are successful in your mission, you may receive a secret code which can be used to begin the game at later levels.

Ted Cruz Ends Speech Opposing Health Law
Republican Senator Says Speaking for Nearly 21 Hours Served a Purpose
WASHINGTON—Sen. Ted Cruz has ended a nearly round-the-clock speech in opposition to the new federal health-care law, standing down from the Senate floor at noon on Wednesday after more than 21 hours.
The Texas Republican's all-night speech didn't break any Senate records or significantly delay the timing of Senate votes on a measure relating to the health law and to next year's federal budget. That legislation is the focal point of congressional efforts to avert a partial government shutdown in less than one week.
Still, Mr. Cruz said his speech served its purpose, which was to flag what he sees as the encroaching dangers of the health-insurance overhaul, widely known as Obamacare.
Find Your State's Health-Insurance Exchange
"Fix this train wreck. Fix this disaster," said Mr. Cruz. "Unfortunately, the U.S. Senate is closed for business."
Gathered on the Senate floor to hear Mr. Cruz's closing arguments were an ensemble of like-minded Republicans, including several who accompanied him during the night-time and early-morning hours. They included Sens. Mike Lee of Utah, Marco Rubio of Florida and Rand Paul of Kentucky. Mr. Cruz singled out for praise conservative GOP Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas, who Mr. Cruz said spent all night in the Senate chamber with him.
After touching on topics as varied as "Star Wars" and the actor Ashton Kutcher, Mr. Cruz capped his speech with both a round of thank-yous and a combative contretemps with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.). Mr. Cruz batted away Mr. Reid's guidance that he could continue talking for another hour, not permitting the senior Democrat to speak.
"If the majority leader is going to cut off and muzzle us in another 24 minutes, at this point I do not feel it is appropriate for the majority leader to consume that time," Mr. Cruz said.
Mr. Reid got his retort in soon after, regaining the floor after Mr. Cruz concluded his speech.
"For lack of a better way of describing it, it has been a big waste of time," Mr. Reid said of Mr. Cruz's uncommonly long speech. "I'm not sure we learned anything new."
Technically, Mr. Cruz's all-nighter wasn't a filibuster, because he began talking after Mr. Reid had already taken key procedural steps that put the Senate on track to hold a vote on the budget and health-care measure. Mr. Cruz's speaking didn't have the power to delay that vote.
The Senate is expected to take a key procedural vote around 1 p.m. on Wednesday on a short-term spending bill passed by the House last week to keep the government running into the next fiscal year, which starts Tuesday. The House bill also strips funding for the federal health law that is soon to go into effect.
Still, Mr. Cruz can take this satisfaction: His speech eclipsed the length of a filibuster by Mr. Paul, who in March held the Senate floor for nearly 13 hours to condemn the Obama administration's use of drones.
According to the Associated Press, if the speech had been a filibuster, it would have been the fourth-longest since 1900, when the Senate began keeping precise records. The longest was undertaken in 1957 by Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, then a Democrat, against a civil-rights bill. It lasted 24 hours, 18 minutes.
Mr. Cruz spent a good chunk of his time on the Senate floor warning of the negative effects of the health-care overhaul. The law's centerpiece—health exchanges where Americans will be able to buy insurance policies—will start to be rolled out next week. But he also took a few minutes around 8 p.m. Tuesday to read bedtime stories to his two daughters, including Biblical proverbs and Mr. Cruz's professed favorite, Dr. Seuss's "Green Eggs and Ham."
Later he read many of the Twitter messages posted by constituents voicing their concerns about the health law and complaints about Washington politicians.
Mr. Cruz joined in that line of criticism often, faulting other lawmakers for not listening to their constituents. The lawmaker often noted he didn't mind alienating others within the Washington political establishment.
"I don't particularly enjoy cocktail parties, anyway," he said.
Mr. Cruz entertained challenging questions on the floor Tuesday night from some Democrats, including Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois and Tim Kaine of Virginia, after Mr. Kaine finished his shift as the presiding officer in the Senate. (The next senator to serve as presiding officer, Democrat Chris Murphy of Connecticut, grumbled on Twitter that he would be presiding over a "pointless fairy tale non-filibuster.")
Some of Mr. Cruz's Republican colleagues joined him on the morning shift, including Mr. Rubio, who spoke for much of the 6 a.m. hour, expressing his own concerns about the health law.
Mr. Cruz made at least one concession to comfort for his speech, admitting early on that he had forsaken the black ostrich "argument boots" he has worn daily since joining the Senate in January and in courtrooms before that.
"I took the coward's way out and went and purchased some black tennis shoes," Mr. Cruz said Tuesday, noting that they were the "same model that the senior senator from Utah wears on a regular basis."
A spokeswoman for Sen. Orrin Hatch confirmed that the lawmaker wears all-black Nikes but couldn't say whether the two Republicans were wearing the same model.

I don't have a fully reasonable explanation about what's going on with this release. As far as we know it doesn't even work correctly, so hard to know what really happened.
As I said, it is possible that they didn't use a software copier themselves. It is possible that they didn't have the original master and they made a master from a non original copy that in turn was copied with a software copier. That might also explain why there is a (deleted) saved game in the disk that is not present in the retail release.
We know a lot of strange things were done on some budget releases. Sometimes they reused cracks. Although, again, that was more common years later.
I really don't know for sure. I just know that the protected track in this release is a manually crafted track that can be created in a standard ST, and yet (almost) be read as the original copy protection.
With a second owner dumping his original it could be confirmed or infirmed.
As I said and Stefan is saying as well, we have three dumps from three different disks. They all match.

Obama still considering Hagel
President Barack Obama says he hasn't decided on a nominee for defense secretary, but suggested former Sen. Chuck Hagel is still in the running.
Asked by NBC's David Gregory if anything disqualified the Nebraska Republican from the post, Obama said "Not that I see."
"I've served with Chuck Hagel. I know him. He is a patriot," Obama said during an interview broadcast Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "He is somebody who has done extraordinary work both in the United States Senate, somebody who served this country with valor in Vietnam - and is somebody who's currently serving on my intelligence advisory board and doing an outstanding job."
The president specifically addressed comments Hagel made in 1998, when he called an ambassador pick "openly aggressively gay," suggesting he was unfit to serve.
"He apologized for it," Obama said, referencing a statement Hagel issued earlier this month. "And I think it's a testimony to what has been a positive change over the last decade in terms of people's attitudes about gays and lesbians serving our country."
"That's something that I'm very proud to have led," the president added. "And I think that anybody who serves in my administration understands my attitude and position on those issues."

Merkel triumphs in German vote but allies crushed
BERLIN (AP) — Chancellor Angela Merkel led her conservatives to a stunning victory in Germany's election Sunday, a personal triumph that cements her position as Europe's most powerful leader. But she will need to reach out to center-left rivals to form a new government after her coalition partner crashed out of Parliament.
Merkel's Union bloc scored its best result in 23 years to put her on course for a third term, winning 41.5% of the vote, official results showed — and putting it just short of the other three parties in Parliament combined. Election officials didn't immediately give a seat tally.
The 59-year-old benefited from a strong economy and low unemployment that have helped keep her personal popularity sky-high — a contrast with the string of leaders who have lost their jobs in other European countries since the continent's debt crisis erupted three years ago.
Merkel, Germany's chancellor since 2005 and the de facto leader of Europe's crisis response, told supporters it was "a super result." She wouldn't immediately speculate about the shape of the next government, but made clear she plans to serve a full term.
"I see the next four years in front of me and I can promise that we will face many tasks, at home, in Europe and in the world," Merkel said during a television appearance with other party leaders.
Despite the scale of her win, governing isn't likely to get easier for Merkel over the next four years.
Her partners of choice, the pro-business Free Democrats, won only 4.8% of the vote. They fell short of the 5% needed to win seats in Parliament for the first time in Germany's post-World War II history, paying the price for frequent governing infighting and their failure to secure tax cuts they pledged four years ago.
Merkel looks likely to end up leading either a "grand coalition" government with the center-left Social Democrats of defeated challenger Peer Steinbrueck — reviving the alliance that ran Germany in her first term — or less likely with the environmentalist Greens.
Either way, several weeks of difficult negotiations are expected. Each combination might bring a slightly softer tone to Europe's debt crisis, but probably without any significant policy shifts.
"The ball is in Merkel's court," said Steinbrueck, a former finance minister under Merkel who has said he won't serve under her again. "She has to get herself a majority."
"Angela Merkel is stronger than ever, also in her party," said Manfred Guellner, the head of the Forsa polling agency. "But governing is going to be odd because she will have to form a 'grand coalition' although she is only a few seats away from an absolute majority."
Merkel's conservatives finished far ahead of Steinbrueck's Social Democrats, who won 25.7% of the vote — not much better than the post-war low of 23% they hit four years ago.
Their Green allies polled a disappointing 8.4%, while the hard-line Left Party scored 8.6%. But although the three parties on the left together hold a thin majority, there's virtually no chance of them governing together.
The Left Party includes heirs of East Germany's former communist rulers, opposes German military deployments abroad and is the only party that voted against Merkel's policies of bailing out debt-troubled European countries in exchange for reforms. The two center-left parties on Sunday renewed promises not to form an alliance with the Left.
"We did not achieve the result we wanted," Steinbrueck told supporters. He said that he wouldn't engage in "speculation" about the next government.
A "grand coalition" could result in a greater emphasis on bolstering economic growth over the austerity that Germany has insisted on in exchange for bailing out economically weak European countries such as Greece.
Merkel's conservatives, the Social Democrats and Greens "have largely similar positions" on Europe, said Oscar Gabriel, a political science professor at Stuttgart University. He noted, however, that "there are a few nuances," with the center-left parties more open to limited pooling of European countries' debt something the chancellor has refused to countenance.
During the election campaign, Merkel and Steinbrueck clashed over center-left calls for tax increases on high earners and a mandatory national minimum wage. Merkel rejected both ideas, arguing that they would hurt the economy.
True to her methodical style, Merkel said Sunday she would proceed "step by step" in working toward a new government.
Still, she beamed earlier in the evening as she was greeted by a cheering crowd chanting "Angie! Angie! Angie!" at her party's headquarters.
Merkel pledged that "we will do everything together in the next four years to make them successful years for Germany."
A new anti-euro party, Alternative for Germany, came close to winning the 5% support needed to win seats in Parliament on Sunday. The party, which advocates an "orderly breakup" of the eurozone and appeared to have a wider appeal to protest voters on the right, finished with 4.7%.
Its leader, Bernd Lucke, said it had "taught the other parties to be scared" and "strengthened democracy in Germany."
Merkel has pursued a hard-nosed course in the euro crisis insisting on spending cuts and economic reforms in exchange for bailout struggling countries such as Greece. The bailouts haven't been popular, but Germany has largely escaped the economic fallout from the crisis, and Merkel has won credit for that. Europe played only a very limited role in the campaign.
Still, senior Merkel ally Horst Seehofer, the conservative governor of Bavaria, conceded that the government needed to do a better job of explaining its policies. He told ZDF television he had noticed a "communication deficit" on the campaign trail.
There was shocked silence at the Free Democrats' election event as exit polls showed the party slumping below 5 percent of the vote.
Four years ago, the party won nearly 15% of the vote, its best-ever result; over the past week, it had pleaded for votes from Merkel supporters to keep it afloat. Merkel called the outgoing coalition "the most successful government since reunification" 23 years ago, but her own popularity didn't extend to the coalition.
"It's the bitterest, saddest hour of the Free Democratic Party," the party's leader, Vice Chancellor Philipp Roesler, said.
Gabriel, the political scientist, said conservative voters who voted for the Free Democrats in 2009 "returned in droves" to Merkel. The smaller party, which was long the kingmaker of German politics, "isn't considered competent by the voters anymore," he said.

Part 1[edit]
Just what the hell is going on here!? Why, you're in virtual reality, of course! Welcome to Tranquility Lane, a rather ingenious creation for nuclear survivors to live happily in lives they once knew. But you're not here to enjoy yourself, and you're not here to make friends. You're here to get to the bottom of what's going on, and to find your father. Feel free to take a few minutes to explore, talking to whomever you want and entering whatever house you'd like. Most everyone has nice things to say and are enjoying life. This is a real Leave It To Beaver moment, we know. And PLEASE, don't e-mail us about the alternate route. As the box below indicates, there is a good karma way through. We cover the bad karma route here.
Notice[edit]After putting up this section of the guide, we received massive amounts of e-mail from you guys, the readers. Therefore, please keep in mind that our detailed walkthrough for this section is considered the "evil" way of doing it. To accomplish this part of the game without losing any karma, it's actually easy. Head to the "abandoned house" in the simulation. Here, you'll find five items in the house that must be activated in a certain order (listen for the chimes when the item is activated to see if you're doing it in the right order or not). Once activated properly, a computer will reveal itself. Activate the computer program when prompted to do so, and a communist invasion of the simulation will occur, killing everyone within for you, allowing you to ultimately escape with unharmed karma.
Ultimately, however, you'll find that no one has any idea where your father is, and what's more, you seem trapped in this virtual reality. That's where a little girl named Betty comes into play, because you need to find Betty and speak with her. She can be found at the center of the circular neighborhood in a simple playground. Upon speaking with her, she'll show you how bossy she can be, and demand that you play a game with her. There's simply no way around it, you have to agree. And this is when she asks you to make her playmate, Timmy, cry. (If you refuse, you have to figure out a Betty-less way to get out of here, which is possible, but far less fun).
There are a few ways to make Timmy cry, but the easiest (and most sickly rewarding) way is to kill his mother. Timmy's family's house is the one with the lemonade stand in front of it. Head into the house, simply letting yourself in, and seek out Timmy's mom. Then, with your fists, do her in, chasing her around the house as she screams for mercy. This may be sick, but it's necessary (though you can find more subtle ways to make Timmy cry if you must). When you've done the deed, report back to Betty, who will allow you to ask her one question before the game continues. That's when you realize she isn't a little girl at all, but is instead being controlled by an unknown man named Dr. Stanislaus Braun.
Braun asks you next to break up the otherwise happy marriage of the Rockwells. But, you can't kill them, so you need to figure out another way to do it. The Rockwells' house is a house without a fence in front of it, with a slightly-overgrown yard, trees in the front, and a gnome on the small concrete stoop. Enter the house and speak with the Rockwells. You can pry some about their marriage, but they won't be too happy about it. But now that you've introduced yourself to them, it's time to break up their happy marriage. Sorry folks, it has to be done.
Again, there are a few ways this can be done, but this is what we did. Leave the Rockwells' residence and, while facing it, look to your left. The neighboring house there is the Simpson household. Enter the house, and head on upstairs into the master bedroom. Examine the queen-sized bed there, and you'll discover some underwear. Grab these undergarments and run back outside and head into the Rockwell's residence once more. Go into the basement of the house, approach the desk in the corner, and examine it to place the underwear on it. Where are we going with this?
Once the underwear is on the desk, head upstairs and tell Mrs. Rockwell that you saw something in the basement she needs to see. While she's curious what you were doing in the basement, you can insist that she come downstairs with you and check out what's down there. She agrees. Go back into the basement and Mrs. Rockwell will automatically be in pursuit. Approach the desk and go through the motions, telling her that Mr. Rockwell is either cheating, or insinuating that he could be a cross-dresser. Either way, Mrs. Rockwell is distressed, running upstairs, out of the house and gone seemingly forever. The distressed Mr. Rockwell will have no idea what hit him!
Part 2[edit]
Go back and see Betty in the same location she's been this entire time -- the playground at the center of the small neighborhood. She'll be most thankful of the work you've been doing, and you can continue to pry with the doctor controlling her about just what's going on, learning just a little more about the situation here. But Betty -- we mean, Dr. Stanislaus Braun -- has another activity for you. This time, he wants you to kill Mabel Henderson. And you have to do it in a clever way, not with your fists. Oh my!
Mabel Henderson's house is located on the other side of the Simpson house (the Rockwell house being on the other side, thus the Simpson house being in the middle of the two). Head on in there and, before doing anything, go into the kitchen. Examine the stove and fiddle with the pilot light. Just what's going on here? Well, this is a clever way to kill Mabel (though there are others, if you can figure them out). Speak with Mabel hereafter and ask her to make you one of her famous pies. She'll agree and head into the kitchen to pre-heat the oven. When she does this, she'll be met with an untimely death. Poor Mrs. Henderson, flaming to death on the kitchen floor.
Your time on the demented Tranquility Lane is coming to a close. After Mabel's demise, go back and speak with Betty once more, who will commend you on a job well-done. She tells you there's only one thing left to do, and then you can have whatever you want. She wants you to kill everyone -- everyone -- on Tranquility Lane. Oh my! And doing so will require that you grab a mask and knife that Betty has hidden for you near a doghouse at the abandoned house on Tranquility Lane. So what are you waiting for? Go grab your gear!
Seek out the abandoned house -- there's a gate around the house, no one inside, and a doghouse to the right of the house. Examine the doghouse and you'll find yourself automatically equipped with a creepy mask and a gigantic butcher's knife which will be used to execute everyone on Tranquility Lane. Then, try to systematically go around and kill everyone in each house, following each character if they run away from you, especially if they run outside (this will confuse things intensely if you let them go).
Having fun? Well, we hope so, because you're losing a hell of a lot of karma from doing this, but you need to get out of this virtual insanity (an odd Jamiroquai reference) and get back to your primary mission. So, killing everyone is your only choice. You don't have to waste time going back to Betty each time you kill someone to see if you killed everyone -- as long as you pay close attention to your screen, you can see that the objective has been successfully completed when the last person is killed (it's important to pay attention since you can't consult your Pip-Boy to see what's going on).
When the last person is killed, visit Betty at the playground and she'll congratulate you on a job well done. Since you've done everything the evil doctor has asked, he's agreed to let you and your father (who was the dog in the playground) out of virtual reality, where they can thereafter return to the Capital Wasteland. Good to have all of that fake (yet real) blood off of your hands.
When you're back in reality, exit your virtual reality pod and engage your father in conversation. This can be a lengthy conversation, as you can poke and prod your father for all sorts of interesting information about Project Purity, your mother, Vault 101, and the realities of this post-nuclear world. Once you're done speaking with him, you can then follow him as he books it out of Vault 112 and back to the surface. Once on the surface, this mission comes to an end. It's time to head back to Rivet City and meet up with the famed Dr. Li once more.

The two-handled saucepan is a versatile pot, suitable for the preparation of stews, braised meats or risottos and for any recipe that requires that the heat is transmitted to the food from the entire body of the container. The graceful design of the Edo series makes this saucepan suitable for serving dishes on the table too.
Designed by Patricia Urquiola, Edo pots blend different cultural references and formal suggestions. A richness of references that evokes the very essence of cooking: diverse ingredients creating delicious dishes. Edo refers to the Latin "edere" - that is "to eat" - but it is also the ancient name of Tokyo, where the pots with simple and graceful lines that inspired the designer come from. The design of the Edo series is softened by formal elements such as the light flare of the containers or the line of the handles reminiscent of ribbons pinned to a dress, which becomes a distinctive feature of the entire the entire cookware line.
