The Lipscomb women's soccer team will finish out the non-conference portion of their schedule, this weekend, by hosting Austin Peay (Thursday) and traveling to Cookeville to face off against Tennessee Tech (Sunday). The Lady Bisons will play Austin Peay at 4:30 p.m., tomorrow, on the practice field behind Cofers Chapel Church on the corner of Caldwell Lane and Franklin Pike.
The Lady Bisons were highly successful at last weekend's Bulldog Classic, defeating Southern Miss, 3-1, and losing a heartbreaker to host Mississippi State, 2-1, in overtime. Erin Zerio, Kelsey Reiman and recently crowned Atlantic Sun Offensive Player of the Week Meghan McGuire were each named to the all-tournament team.
McGuire leads the Bisons offense in goals (four) and points (eight) this season. After scoring just 10 goals all of 2010, the Lipscomb offense has mustered eight tallies through just seven games so far in 2011.
In defeating Southern Miss, 3-1, last Friday the Lady Bisons have scored three or more goals twice this season. It marks the first time in Lipscomb history that the women's soccer team has scored three or more goals in more than one game during a single season.
Zerio made a season-high nine saves against Mississippi State. She is fourth in the conference in goals against average (1.24) and fifth in saves (33).
Austin Peay brings a high-flying offense, having outscored opponents 29-7 this season. Sisters Tatiana and Natalia Ariza have contributed 13 of those goals, while junior Emily Perkins has added six. The Lady Govs are 5-2, including a 14-0 shellacking of Alabama A&M to kick off the season.
Tennessee Tech enters at 2-5-1, on a three-game losing streak. Jacquie Watkins, Sarah Gawthrop and Kerri Reid have scored two goals apiece, while Becca Toler is responsible for keeping the other team at bay; she's made 37 saves this season and owns a 1.56 goals against average.
Austin Peay knocked off Lipscomb, 1-0, in 2010 behind a Michelle Johnson goal in the 73rd minute. It has been two years since the Lady Bisons faced Tennessee Tech; in 2009, the Lady Eagles defeated Lipscomb 2-1.
In terms of common opponents, all three of these squads have faced Chattanooga this season. Tennessee Tech opened the season by hosting the Lady Mocs, falling 2-1 on Aug. 19. The Lady Govs traveled to Chattanooga two days later and knocked off the Lady Mocs, 4-0. Lipscomb lost at Chattanooga on Sep. 2, 2-0.
Following this weekend, Lipscomb will open the conference portion of the schedule, traveling to Mercer (Sep. 23, 6 p.m.) and Kennesaw State (Sep. 25, 12 noon) for the opening weekend.

Conference Look:
- No teams in the A-Sun remain undefeated after Mercer fell to Georgia and No. 5 Florida State last weekend. The Bears are tied with ETSU atop the conference at 4-2-0.
- McGuire is tied for second in the conference in points (eight) and goals (four). With two game-winners to her credit, she is tied for the conference lead.
- Zerio enters this weekend fourth in the conference in GAA (1.24) and tied for third in saves (33) and fifth in save percentage (.786). Entering the weekend, Lipscomb is the only school in the conference not to record a shutout.

Diageo Leads Booze Brawl in Missouri
Distillers Fighting To Overturn 1930s Wholesaler Rules
The "Missouri Liquor Wars"—a raging battle between the world's largest liquor makers and a family-owned wholesaler—could change the way spirits are sold in the U.S. and undo one of the last vestiges of Prohibition.
At issue are post-Prohibition-era regulations in about a dozen U.S. states that can lock in liquor producers with specific wholesalers, making it hard to consolidate the number of middlemen or switch distributors. These "franchise" laws were designed to get wholesalers to help states collect...

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's former military chief and presumed presidential front-runner visited the Coptic pope Saturday ahead of Orthodox Easter, making his first public appearance since he formally made his bid for the presidency.
Pope Tawadros II is a strong backer of retired Field Marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who removed the country's first democratically elected president last summer after a wave of popular protests.
Tawadros backed the military's overthrow of Islamist Mohammed Morsi and appeared alongside el-Sissi with Muslim leaders and secular politicians after his ouster. Following Morsi's removal, rioters burned and vandalized churches and government buildings in the country.
Orthodox Easter is Sunday and El-Sissi's visit to the pope's seat of power at St. Mark's Cathedral is a tribute to the country's Christians, some 10 percent of Egypt's population. Morsi never visited the Cathedral, instead sending a representative last year. Some radical Islamists had argued even against greeting Christians during their holidays.
According to a statement, el-Sissi told Pope Tawadros that Christians and Muslims will remain united.
Riding a wave of widespread support for the military after Morsi's ouster, el-Sissi is widely expected to win the coming May 26-27 presidential election. There is little opposition to the former military chief, who retired before declaring his bid as Egyptian law bans soldiers from running.
Official campaigning is due to start May 2, when officials announce a final list of candidates.
Hamdeen Sabahi, a former left-leaning presidential candidate, made formal his bid for office, submitting to the election commission just a little over 30,000 signatures Saturday endorsing his candidacy. That is 5,000 more than what is required, but is six times less than the number of signatures el-Sissi presented to the commission.
Sabahi came in third in 2012 elections, garnering around 5 million votes. But the elections and the national mood were different, with fierce competition between candidates.
After submitting his papers, Sabahi said he hoped for fair elections and described his campaign as one to realize the demands of a youth-led revolution.
"Everyone who signed the petition for me I consider a hero," he said. "This is a great moment to complete with our free votes the path set by those who lost their lives (in the revolution). ... God willing, we will have a great (election) battle and a victorious one."
His supporters chanted: "Big is Big! You don't have to be a military general."
Sabahi's campaign managers had complained that there was a campaign of intimidation during the signature collection and of bias by state officials for el-Sissi. They blamed Mubarak-era officials who want to come back into power.
The elections will be held amid a fierce government crackdown on Morsi supporters and little tolerance for criticism. At least 16,000 people are detained and hundreds face trial. Violence also has been on the rise, with regular militant attacks against soldiers and police.
On Saturday, a militant group called Ajnad Misr, or "Egypt's Soldiers," claimed responsibility for a bombing that killed a police officer late Friday in Cairo. The group said it is waging a campaign of retribution for the killing and detentions of protesters and young Egyptians.
In another sign of how different the mood is in Egypt, Saudi-owned satellite television network Middle East Broadcasting Center said Egypt's top satirist Bassem Youssef will be off the air until after the election to avoid influencing voters. Youssef, often compared to U.S. comedian Jon Stewart, previously told his audience that he intended to take his two-week break starting this week.
MBC said the hiatus would show "respect for the election process, and ... avoid influencing Egyptian voters' orientation and public opinion."
MBC began airing Youssef's show in February after an Egyptian private channel suspended it last fall for attacking "symbols of the state." Since returning to air, Youssef has ridiculed the recent surge of nationalism in Egypt, as well as the euphoria surrounding el-Sissi. Many opponents of Morsi were fans of Youssef, but now have turned against him for questioning the military-backed government.
In Friday's episode, Youssef suggested it was a forgone conclusion that el-Sissi will win.
"After three years of back and forth revolution, there will be no real competition? How come people are accepting this?" he asked, attributing it to a campaign of intimidation. Then he played a series of television interviews with public figures and citizens suggesting that Egypt without el-Sissi will collapse.
He ended the skit by holding up a placard that read: "The End," suggesting Egypt's revolution was over.
"It was a nice movie," he said.

Next Xbox to include tablet?
A report from consumer site Gamespot claims to have word that the new Xbox, which will be revealed at this year's E3, will include some sort of portable tablet component.
Given Microsoft's recent efforts at unification across its Windows, Mobile, and Xbox product lines, it seems clear that the 720 or whatever they end up calling it will be the ultimate personification of that strategy," it says.
There are strong signs suggesting that, like with Nintendo's Wii U, a tablet component figures heavily into the new design."
It goes on to speculate that the new machine will include a tablet PC, base station, a controller and some form of Kinect.
If true, the move would represent a remarkable change of direction for the games industry and, perhaps more importantly, a form of validation for Nintendo's daring Wii U design.
And of course, with Nintendo's Wii U seemingly quite limited in scope thanks to the need to remain near the base station at all times, the opportunity is there for Microsoft to evolve the idea further.

Although Apple still has not confirmed that it's making a smaller iPad, a new report claims that the tech giant has already ordered more than 10 million units of the smaller tablet.
Asian component makers that supply parts to make Apple devices told the Wall Street Journal that the company has already ordered the 10 million plus units for the fourth quarter. Suppliers also leaked to the WSJ last weekthat the smaller tablet was already in production and that the tablet's screen measures about 7.85 inches.

Changes at 'Popular Woodworking Magazine'
The April 2013 issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine, which we are currently in the process of editing, will be the last with me at the helm. Working at Popular Woodworking Magazine and becoming a part of the tight-knit community that revolves around it has been an honor for me. But, alas, I have decided to step down to pursue another opportunity. I have always had a soft spot for woodworking, good writing and magazines in general. I won't be leaving those passions, just shifting them around.
I would not be leaving were I not confident that the magazine is poised for growth: Our readership has grown and is still rising, there is a solid plan for the next year's issues in place and all hands at the magazine are quite skilled.
It has been an honor to work with not only the staff at at PWM, but also the talented regulars and all of the woodworking and publishing friends I have made over the 20 years I've spent in the field. And thanks to all of you who have welcomed me into the community here at popularwoodworking.com. See you in the shop.
best of luck to you Matthew.

Even though Sarasota County is offering to buy North Port's half-interest in Warm Mineral Springs, a grass-roots group says it will continue with a petition drive urging the City Commission to rescind its decision to sell.
As of Wednesday, the North Port Advocacy Alliance had collected roughly 600 signatures and was expecting more.
"We will continue with this action until the situation is resolved," said Wendy Namack, co-founder of the alliance -- which organized just weeks ago as a reaction to the city's decision to sell its stake in the springs.
The petitioners may eventually agree that a buyout by the county may be the best solution, Namack said -- but, at this point, no one knows if the city and county will come to terms.
"It's not a done deal," Namack said, emphasizing why the petition drive continues. "It's an offer."
In December 2009, the city and county jointly bought the historic tourist destination and archaeological site off U.S. 41 for $5.5 million. They said they wanted to protect the environmentally sensitive resource while also partnering with a yet-to-be-found private entity to enhance the entire 81-acre property and make it a major resort destination.
But after the fall election, a new majority on the City Commission rejected as too broad "an invitation to negotiate" that the county wanted to offer potential developers.
Mayor Linda Yates and newly elected commissioners Cheryl Cook and Rhonda DiFranco later voted 3-2 for the city to sell its half-interest in the springs.
Reaction to that decision has been mixed.
The city's stance prompted Namack and others to form the alliance and organize the petition drive in protest.
Yet many other North Port residents support the commission's call. They cast doubts about public-private partnerships, say local government should not be in the resort business and want Warm Mineral Springs back on the property tax rolls.
Yates notes that the bulk of the property not regarded as the protected springs -- about 60 acres -- could be used for commercial enterprises.
"Does it make sense for a government entity to own commercial property?" Yates said.
On Tuesday, the Sarasota County Commission offered to buy North Port's share for $2 million on the condition that the city "deannex" the entire 81 acres.
Although it continues with its petition drive, the alliance regards the county's move with mixed feelings.
"I actually believe it is the best-case scenario for Warm Mineral Springs and the worst-case scenario for the city of North Port," Namack said.
Although the city will continue to get water and sewer revenue from the attraction, by divesting itself of its half-ownership, it "stands to lose millions of dollars" if the county and a private partner indeed turn it into a major success, Namack said.
The city has yet to give a response to the county's offer.
"We just received it less than 24 hours ago," Yates said Wednesday afternoon. "It's something our staff will have to look at and gather some details."
Yates said she is "disappointed" that the County Commission did not put the matter on its agenda so that North Port and other county residents could have had advance notice that the subject was coming up.
"The citizens didn't have a chance to speak," Yates said.
The offer put together by County Commissioner Christine Robinson, whose district includes North Port, comes with caveats with which the city may take issue.
The county would not fully reimburse the city for the $2.75 million it paid. Robinson contends that the city's actions have harmed the market value of the springs.
The county's insistence that the property be back in the unincorporated area could be a deal breaker, too. That would mean the city would have no say in future development approvals there.
If the springs is "deannexed," Namack wonders if other property owners in the vicinity will want to do the same because they may want to capitalize on their proximity to the attraction.
"We could actually see our city shrink," Namack said.
Still, proponents of a public-private partnership hope the county's offer will at least get talks started.
Just last week, the nonprofit North Port Economic Development Corp. forecast that a public-private partnership at the springs could generate an initial economic impact of $20 million to $80 million in new construction and more than 300 jobs.
NPEDC chairman Robert Rosenberg said he regards the county's offer as a positive move forward.
Rosenberg hopes the city and county will now engage in an active, sincere dialogue that results in the NPEDC's wish that the springs become "an economic catalyst."
Even though Sarasota County is offering to buy North Port's half-interest in Warm Mineral Springs, a grass-roots group says it will continue with a petition drive urging the City Commission to rescind its decision to sell.

Just a quick blog today about conferences coming up next year.
The first is the First Australian Positive Psychology Conference on the 5th and 6th April at the University of Sydney. This conference is being cosponsored by ten Australian universities and promises to be an exceptional event. The International Advisory Board reads like a Who's Who of the Positive Psychology movement with names like Seligman, Diener, Fredrickson, Linley, Peterson, Shahar, Lopez, and Sheldon. Co-chairs are Sydney's Anthony M Grant and Melbourne's Dianne Vella-Brodrick.
The second is the Third Happiness and Its Causes Conference on the 8th and 9th May at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour. Last year's conference was a sellout and very well received by attendees, with His Holiness the Dalai Lama as star attraction. A CD of recordings from the conference is available on the website.

Markets steady despite growing ECB rate cut talk
MOSCOW (AP) — European markets steadied Tuesday following a strong performance the previous session despite growing expectations of an interest rate reduction from the European Central Bank later this week.
The expectation that the ECB will cut its main interest rate from the already all-time low of 0.75 percent has grown after figures Tuesday showed eurozone unemployment up at another record high of 12.1 percent.
But while the rise in unemployment was not much of a surprise, the sharp fall in inflation was. Eurostat, the EU's statistics office, said inflation rose 1.2 percent in the year to April, way down from the 1.7 percent rate recorded in March and markedly below market expectations for a modest decline to 1.6 percent.
The preliminary April rate was the lowest since February 2010 and takes inflation even further below the ECB's target of keeping inflation "close to but below" 2 percent.
Given that expectations of a rate cut were largely factored in and following a solid session on Monday, stocks were solid, if unspectacular.
"I think the reason for this mild response is that a rate cut has now already been priced into the markets," said Craig Erlam, market analyst at Alpari.
Germany's DAX added 0.5 percent to 7,913 while France's CAC-40 was 0.3 percent lower at 3,856. Britain's FTSE 100 was down 0.25 percent to 6,441.
The euro, which has dropped in recent days as investors priced in a rate cut, was trading 0.4 percent higher at $1.3150.
Wall Street opened slightly lower after drug company Pfizer and other companies reported weak earnings.
The earnings reports offset the impact of upbeat economic indicators. The S&P/Case-Shiller home price index rose 9.3 percent in February, the most in almost seven years. Separately the New York-based Conference Board said its consumer confidence index rose to 68.1 points in April from 61.9 in March.
The Dow was down 0.1 percent at 14,800 while the broader S&P 500 index was flat at 1,593.
Stocks around the world have performed solidly over the past few weeks despite a run of mostly disappointing economic data. However, the upside for investors in stock markets is that the soft patch may mean the world's central banks persevere with their easy and cheap monetary policies for longer than thought.
"Risk appetite continues to be enlivened rather than encumbered by the slew of poor data this week, with investors choosing to rely on optimism that the Fed will leave its current stimulus in place and that the ECB will look to cut its key lending rate," said Brenda Kelly, senior market strategist at IG.
The U.S. Federal Reserve will later in the day begin its two-day policy meeting.
As the week progresses, investors will be positioning themselves for perhaps the most important data release of the month. On Friday, U.S. nonfarm payrolls data for April will be published, a key gauge of employment in the world's largest economy.
Earlier, Asian stocks closed higher. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.7 percent to 22,737.01. South Korea's Kospi advanced 1.2 percent to 1,963.95. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 added 1.3 percent to 5,191.20.
However, Japanese data showing only modest improvement in manufacturing dampened sentiment there with Nikkei 225 index dropping 0.2 percent to close at 13,860.86.
Oil prices were steady, with the benchmark New York rate down 79 cents to $93.71 per barrel.

Tourism and retail are important to our economy, but we need a variety of jobs to sustain the region's vitality.
The U.S. Census Bureau says Wilmington's metropolitan area is growing faster than every city in North Carolina except Raleigh. But the bureau's numbers don't tell the full story.
If the census folks hadn't allowed Myrtle Beach, S.C., to claim Brunswick County and its more than 115,000 residents, the Wilmington area would be the fastest-growing in North Carolina. And Myrtle Beach likely would not be counted among the top 10 fastest-growing cities in the United States.
The numbers say one thing, but the census bureau got it wrong when the government agency lumped Brunswick County in with Myrtle Beach's metropolitan area. While the far southwestern side of the county might orient toward the Grand Strand, the hub for most folks there is Wilmington. It's where they work, where they go if they need specialized medical care and where they shop and go for entertainment.
Even without Brunswick County, the population of Wilmington's metro area is well over a quarter-million; counting Brunswick's 115,301 residents (as of last July), the greater Myrtle Beach area has about 400,000 people – a little more than where we'd be if the census bureau had done better research. Brunswick County is still part of the Wilmington metro area whether the feds recognize it or not.
Either way, Southeastern North Carolina continues to grow at a good clip, and that presents challenges as well as opportunities.
Not the least of those is how to ensure that there are enough good jobs for people who aren't yet eligible for retirement and preserving the qualities that attracted people to this area in the first place. Tourism and retail are important to our economy, but we need a variety of jobs to sustain the region's vitality.
Local economic development officials don't fret too much over the census bureau's snub. They know employers look beyond census numbers to determine the suitability of a region, although retailers see population figures as a measure of the market's viability.
An increase in housing and commercial construction reflect the region's continued appeal as a place to live and work. And that bodes well for such career fields as health care and education. Other services also should stay strong.
Getting around is another challenge – and that is one area where Brunswick County is still inextricably linked to Wilmington. Officials in the Palmetto State aren't concerned with transportation issues north of South of the Border. It is North Carolina taxpayers, as well as motorists who travel through our state, who will pay for road construction, bridges and alternatives such as mass transit and bike paths.
Transportation is also linked to job growth. Manufacturers, which officials are working to attract, need to be able to get their products to market quickly and cost-effectively. Good roads and bridges, ports, air cargo facilities and railways are a must, but the state's needs far outnumber the dollars available.
Locally, planning for those projects involves public officials in New Hanover, Pender and Brunswick counties. Not a Myrtle Beach official in sight.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - It may not be surprising, but people who exercise at least one hour per week have a lower risk of troublesome back, neck, and shoulder pain, a new study shows.
The new evidence supports the possibility that obesity and physical inactivity play a role in a person's risk of developing chronic pain in those areas, said study co-author Dr. Paul Mork, of Norwegian University of Science and Technology in an email to Reuters Health.
Mork and colleagues followed more than 30,000 adults who participated in a large Norwegian health study. They recorded participants' body mass index (BMI) - a measure of weight related to height - at the start of the study, as well as how often they exercised, and then tracked them over the next 11 years.
The authors divided the participants into four categories based on how often they exercised, and four categories based on their BMI. They also looked at how many people in each category developed chronic neck, shoulder, and lower back pain.
Overall, 1 of every 10 people in the study developed lower back pain, and nearly 2 of every 10 developed shoulder or neck pain.
After taking into account participants' age, BMI, whether or not they smoked, and whether they did manual labor at work,
the research team found that men who were exercising 2 hours or more per week at the start of the study were 25 percent less likely to have lower back pain 11 years later, and 20 percent less like to have neck or shoulder pain, compared men who didn't exercise at all. And women who exercised at least 2 hours per week were 8 percent less likely to develop lower back pain than women who were inactive, and 9 percent less likely to develop neck and shoulder pain.
Weight, not surprisingly, also affected the risk of chronic pain later on. Obese men were almost 21 percent more likely to develop chronic lower back pain than men of normal weight, and 22 percent more likely to develop neck or shoulder pain. Obese women were also 21 percent more likely to develop lower back pain than women of normal weight, and 19 percent more likely to develop neck and shoulder pain.
Based on the results, Mork believes that even moderate physical exercise - just one hour or more per week - "can, to some extent, compensate for the adverse effect of being overweight and obese on future risk of chronic pain."
"Chronic neck and back pain are important to public health due to their substantial influence on quality of life, disability, and health care resources," Dr. Adam Goode from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina told Reuters Health by email. Goode, a physical therapist, was not involved in the study by Mork's group.
Back in the mid-1990s, a study from the Netherlands estimated that low back pain cost that country nearly 2 percent of its gross national product. In their new paper Mork and colleagues write that "just a small reduction in the incidence of chronic lower back pain would have a profound economic impact."
Because of the way it was designed, the Norwegian study can't prove that lack of exercise and being overweight actually caused people's chronic pain, or that regular exercise and a more healthy weight prevented it. It could be that the people who did or didn't have chronic pain are different in ways the study did not measure.
However, given the known benefits of exercise and maintaining a healthy weight, Mork believes that "community based measures aimed at reducing the incidence of chronic pain...should aim at promoting regular physical exercise and the maintenance of normal body weight."

Danville selectman pleads guilty to assault on teen at town movie night
By Jason Schreiber
Union Leader Correspondent
BRENTWOOD - A Danville selectman has been given a suspended 60-day jail sentence after pleading guilty to assaulting a teenager at a town movie night last August.
Russell Harding, 36, of 23 Coburn Hill Road, entered a guilty plea June 12 – nearly two weeks before he was set to go on trial in Rockingham County Superior Court on two counts of simple assault, both class A misdemeanors.
He pleaded guilty to grabbing a 13-year-old boy by the back of the neck on the night of Aug. 18 during the incident at Day Field. The second charge accusing him of forcing the boy's head into a table was dropped.
As part of the sentence handed down by Judge Marguerite L. Wageling, Harding must stay away from the teenager and his family, undergo an anger management evaluation, and complete five hours of community service. His 60-day jail sentence was suspended for a year so long as Harding stays out of trouble and a $620 of a $645 fine also was suspended.
Harding previously denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty earlier this year.
He has claimed that he approached the boy because he thought he was going to tamper with town equipment used to show movies.
Harding told selectmen last September that he put himself in between the teenager and the movie equipment and that when he did so he "touched" the boy.
Harding was arrested in September and took a leave from the board. He refused to resign despite the criminal case against him, a move that angered fellow board members who couldn't force him to quit because he's an elected official.

Above is the trailer for Fighting Politics, a new documentary about Matt Lindland's path from collegiate wrestler to mixed martial artist, his questionable dismissal from the UFC over an unapproved sponsor, and his life's second act as a politician in his home state of Oregon. Notable MMA journalists Loretta Hunt and Josh Gross appear in interviews, suggesting that Lindland was actually fired to make room for poster-boy Rich Franklin as middleweight champion, while Keith Evans (formerly of the UFC and IFL) says "Dana White is not the same guy that I knew back then." The release date is still TBA, but I think it's safe to say that Dana won't be there on opening night.
Speaking of the Baldfather, Dana White was recently shot for ESPN: The Magazine, along with everyone's favorite Octagon Girl Arianny Celeste and fighters Randy Couture, Forrest Griffin, and Stephan Bonnar. Watch as the ESPN photo editor becomes visibly freaked out by Randy's ear, Stephan is brought in just so Arianny can have something to sit on, and Dana has to keep his t-shirt on while entering the pool. After the jump: A fairly sick highlight video of PRIDE's 2006 Open-Weight GP; props to CREzja1.

I've now been to 3 Anime cons total in the past two years. I hope to attend 3-4 this year.
My favorite experience so far was my first con, which was Anime Weekend Atlanta 2011.
I've pretty much kept to myself at cons, not really having many close friends that share my interest on my level. I have met a couple of people that I knew from sites, and we do keep in touch. Otherwise, any contact is through Twitter and the sites I visit.
I've attended 3 Cons so far and I enjoyed each one, so far my first one is still the one that made the happiest and right now I plan to attend at least 4 more this year with eyes on fanime and anime expo for the "must attend" ones
And I'm happy I made a few new friends and we all stay in contact for the most part on social networks and overall it's a good experience for me overall letting go of the negative people and bringing in/keeping those that are positive in my life
IG: chubbyasianlover :)
I've attended 2. Both in London.
Loved every second of my 1st, really spoilt for choice. Even got to see the premiere english clips of welcome to the space show. Was angered with my 2nd, because people kept queue jumping which reulted in not 1 but two signing to end early, after queuing for over an hour and a half. At least got to meet some new friends and even got to hear about some new films.
Fan scream would have to be speaking with Geof & Gavin of Rooster Teeth, getting signatures and photo too with my fav RVB voicer!! Nobody can take that moment away from me.
I love meeting fellow fans, especially since it's so lonely where I live. Everything that is common for us geeks, is completely alien to them, thus I am the irregularity to them. When I'm at comic con, I'm myself, and it is wonderful to be the geek I am.
I plan on 2 for this year. Just need a better costume. 1st was assassin creed with my insert coin hoodie and the second was hector from timecrimes. That fell apart but at least people recognised it. Though I got inspiration for another one, a dalek eye stalk. Really need to make it and see if it can be pulled off.
-How many Cons have you attended?
Uhhh, let me count... I counted 10, but I think it's more than that > 3 <
How was your first or best Con experience?
First convention, it was overwhelming seeing how many people were more dedicated to anime than me > 3 < Best con experience is any with friends~ They make the con worth it :3
How do you feel about making new friends at Con and keeping contact?
I LOVE meeting new friends! Especially when they're super cool and have the same interests. I find the easiest way is to exchange Facebooks.
What do you call a sheep with no legs? A cloud.
Ive only gone to SDCC a few times and needless to say they don't interest me.
Slice of Life changed my world!
How many Cons have you attended?
51 (yeesh, I didn't realize I had breeched 50)
How was your first or best Con experience?
Um, AMAZING. It had to be good for me to keep attending them for so long, right?
How do you feel about making new friends at Con and keeping contact?
I love meeting and talking to people at cons, its one of the reasons I started cosplay specific social media accounts, to make it easier to connect after the con was over.
How many Cons have you attended?
I've attended five cons.
How was your first or best Con experience?
I was nervous,but best day ever.
How do you feel about making new friends at Con and keeping contact?
I love meeting new people.
Ive gone to 3 cons, two were anime and the other was a comic.
First con was sanjapan 5 and it was awesome! that is the con that got me motivated to go to other cons and to make and create more indepth and elaborate cosplays.
Every con ive gone to ive made a sort of what you could call a con family, the ppl that you always see at the panels and meet ups and you get to hangout with them for the weekend and i personally have chosen to stay in contact with all of them.
We are 4 itchy Tasty! We want to be your friend and talk cosplay and conventions with you!! We are a small cosplay group with outrageous cosplay potential located in Orange County. We have been working on so many projects to knock your socks off this year at Anime Expo 2013. Our already fantastic and popular LoL Fiddlesticks (Brett Horn) cosplay from AX 2012 will have some company this year. We are also known for cosplaying many characters from Sonic the Hedgehog. Come see soe of our cosplay pictures and tell us what you think. Going to AX 2013? Let us know!!! We wanna see you! Watch out for us this year. We hope to please an amaze you. Add us on Crunchyroll, Cosplyr, and Facebook. We would love your friendship and support!
Working hard on AMAZING cosplays for AX 2013 that will blow you away:)
I've been to 19 conventions since I first started going to cons in 2005 (AX is my standby con but I've also been to Comic Con, Fanime, ALA, PMX and Fanime)
I generally dislike when people do photo shoots or ask for photos in the middle of a crowded hallway...move it somewhere else people!
I've been to 13 conventions since I started in 2010 ranging from gigantic conventions like New York Anime Festival and Otakon, to smaller ones like Anime Festival Orlando and MomoCon.
I don't have a single best convention experience, but I can tell you that the best times are when I just let myself go. This past MegaCon, I tossed 30lbs of camera equipment aside so that I could jump in with a group dancing to Happy Synthesizer :p
As a cosplay photographer, I meet new people every con, but there are a select few I hit off with very well and we become good friends. I hang out often with the ones who are local to me and the ones out-of-state, I keep in touch with via Facebook/Twitter. If there's a con that we both will be attending, I make sure to spend some time with them and catch up. :D
And, ocanimegroup, I feel you about those photos in crowded areas.... It's a big pet peeve of mine. Once someone stops a cosplayer for a picture, everyone and their mother will want to stop and try to get pictures, too >_>

Treasuries fell, with 10-year note yields climbing to the highest level in five weeks, as signs the U.S. economy is improving amid central-bank monetary stimulus sapped demand for U.S. debt.
Benchmark yields were set for their biggest weekly increase in two months. The Fed and other central banks are pumping cash into their economies or cutting interest rates, prompting money managers to seek higher-yielding assets. Volatility in the Treasuries market reached a record low yesterday.
"Treasuries remain cheaper because of the risk-on sentiment," said Jim Vogel, head of agency-debt research at FTN Financial in Memphis, Tennessee. "All the rate cuts are supposed to suppress volatility. The move is so tied to central bank policy that it is supposed to be low."
The U.S. 10-year yield climbed four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 1.85% at 9:53 a.m. in New York, after touching 1.87%, the highest since April 3, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The 1.75% note due in May 2023 fell 3/8, or $3.75 per $1,000 face amount, to 99 2/32.
The yield has climbed 11 basis points this week, the most since the period ended March 8.
Fed Buys
The central bank will buy as much as $1.75 billion of Treasuries maturing between February 2036 and February 2043 today, according to the Fed Bank of New York's website.
Fed purchases have suppressed volatility. Bank of America Merrill Lynch's MOVE index measuring price swings in Treasuries fell to an all-time low of 48.87 basis points yesterday. The measure averaged 62.6 during the past 12 months.
Treasuries due in a decade or more are close to the cheapest levels in a month relative to global peers with comparable maturities, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes. Yields on Treasuries was 49 basis points higher than those in an index of other sovereign debt yesterday, just below the 52 basis points reached on May 6, the cheapest level since April 4. As recently as March 25, the gap was at 57 basis points, the cheapest level since August 2011.
Government bonds in Japan, Germany and the U.K. slumped and the yen weakened beyond 100 per dollar for the first time in four years. The yen depreciated as much as 1.2% to 101.74 per dollar, the weakest since October 2008.
Unwind Time
"The time is right for some of these safe-haven markets to see some unwinding," said John Wraith, a fixed-income strategist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in London. "There was a huge move in Japanese government bonds and also in stocks and the dollar-yen. Yields are going to push higher in coming months as there isn't that sense of urgency that pushed them toward record lows."
Domestic investors in Japan became buyers of bonds outside the nation after the longest period of sales in three years.
Money managers boosted their holdings of overseas bonds and notes by 514.3 billion yen in the two weeks ended May 3, the Ministry of Finance said today. They had cut them in the six weeks through April 19, the longest run since January 2010.
The U.S. central bank is buying Treasuries and mortgage debt each month to support the economy by capping borrowing costs. The Bank of Japan is purchasing more than 7 trillion yen ($70 billion) of debt each month in expanded easing measures announced April 4.
Treasuries slid 0.5% this month through yesterday, Bank of America Merrill Lynch data show. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index of U.S. shares returned 1.9% in the same period and climbed to a record yesterday, though dropping by the end of the session. European stocks gained for a fourth day, with the Stoxx Europe 600 Index reaching its highest level since June 2008.
The number of Americans filing claims for jobless benefits unexpectedly dropped last week and the average over the past month fell to the lowest level since before the last recession, the Labor Department said yesterday.
The U.S. sold $72 billion in notes and bonds this week, including $32 billion in three year notes, $24 billion in 10- year securities and $16 billion in 30-year bonds.

STOCKTON - Daisy wasn't talking much, but her eyes and her smile spoke volumes.
STOCKTON - Daisy wasn't talking much, but her eyes and her smile spoke volumes.
Jamie Xiong, a 26-year-old Salvation Army volunteer, handed Daisy a gift bag full of toys. Inside, Daisy, who's 3, spotted her heart's desire - a Barbie doll set.
Xiong understood the little girl's Christmas joy.
Twenty years ago, Xiong and her family were on the receiving end of the Salvation Army's annual toy-distribution generosity.
"It's heartwarming to be able to give back," said Xiong, a San Joaquin Delta College student. "I came here a lot when I was 5, 6, 7 and 8."
Her favorite toy from those childhood trips: a clear glass tube with confetti inside. "Somewhere in there was Waldo."
Approximately 200 Stockton residents stood in the cold Friday morning, waiting patiently for their turn in the annual holiday giveaway. The Salvation Army also distributed food boxes.
Daisy and her mother, Aurora Galvan, were among the first in line.
"It's been hard on me," said Galvan, 32, a single mother raising Daisy and two other children. "I'm here to get presents for my kids. I have no money, nothing but bills. There is no work."
Three dozen volunteers, representing Middle College High School, University of the Pacific and Delta College, helped assemble the food boxes and toy bags. Like Xiong, they also helped with the distribution.
"I'm here because people don't have it as good as I do," said 15-year-old volunteer Christopher Cabana, a Middle College student. "My purpose in life is not just to look out for myself but to look out for others."
Cabana is a part of the campus Key Club, which has as its motto: "Service, our way of life."
He said the club has changed him. "My mind-set is to help out and make a difference."
Overseeing the complicated distribution effort was Cristian Sibaja, captain and commander of Stockton's Salvation Army chapter.
"This is a great city," Sibaja said, waving his hand across the gymnasium being used as a staging area. "What you see here are a lot of people who believe in Stockton. There are definitely a lot of people in need. That's why we're here."
Sibaja, born in San Jose, Costa Rica, came to Stockton five months ago from assignment in Las Cruces, N.M.
Two of those volunteering - Stockton residents Kristian Alvarez, 19, and Cindy Lora, 25 - were from Delta College's Puente (Bridge) Project.
"We believe in community service," Lora said. "And it's a great way to do our part for the community."
Daisy, wearing a knit hat with pink puffy balls, had on mittens to keep warm. She helped carry her toy bag, almost as big as she was, to her mother's car.
"She loves puzzles and magnets," Galvan said. "Her problem-solving skills are strong and so are her fine motor skills."
And when she gets home, Daisy, who turns 4 the day after Christmas, will have a brand new Barbie to play with.

We had the cement pond, Barney with one bullet that he had to keep in his pocket and Hoss with his big white hat.
Television hasn't played much of a role in my life for years, but there was a time when it did.
Maybe that was because I was one of the last kids in my class to get a TV.
I don't mean my own TV in my room, young readers. I mean a family TV.
Until we got one, the big attraction of weekend visits to relatives was the chance to watch Saturday morning cartoons.
My parents believed TV turned everything within a child's cerebral cortex to grape jelly, so we spent evenings reading books or listening to radio shows such as "Gunsmoke" or "Jack Benny."
Such entertainment, they argued, increased imagination. Even if it did, I ached for a TV.
When an uncle, who knew my great desire, bought us a 19-inch black-and-white set one Christmas, I was ecstatic.
My parents put strict rules on its use. The rules loosened when they discovered they liked some of the shows.
Instead of listening to "Gunsmoke" on radio, my dad and I watched Marshal Dillon and his deputy, Chester, bring justice to Dodge City. I could even try to out draw him with my cap gun at the start of the show.
Another law-and-order duo appealed to my mother. She liked Andy Taylor, Opie and Aunt Bee, while I thought deputy Barney Fife was hilarious.
My parents believed Dobie Gillis and his beatnik friend, Maynard G. Krebs, were silly, but let me watch them.
I howled with laughter at Maynard's reaction whenever he heard the word "work."
A show that started broadcasting not long after we got a television brought communal laughter to our home. We never missed "The Beverly Hillbillies."
I've often thought my mother might have seen something of her mom in Granny, and there was something intriguing, even to a little boy, at the sight of Ellie May Clampett.
We all enjoyed the wisdom of Jed Clampett that transcended his ignorance of the modern world.
The situations the Clampetts created for themselves were always a source of conversation in the school yard the next day.
Westerns were the big action shows, and none was bigger than the one that took place on the Ponderosa with the lovable, bear-of-a-man, Hoss, his hot-headed, brother, Little Joe, and the subdued elder brother, Adam, living in what seemed paradise.
After a few years, the picture tube went out on our 19-inch Philco. My father pronounced it dead.
That point begins a blank period in my television knowledge, until at age 14 I cut sugar cane on holidays and on fall and winter weekends. Gathering my 95 cents an hour at Christmas, I presented the family with a new, 19-inch black and white TV.
It served us until I went to college, where I lost interest in television. Ironically my parents continued to watch.

Home Insurance. Saturday , February 24th , 2018 - 18:28:26 PM
Ms. Worters noted that standard homeowner policies don't cover damage from floodwaters, even if it is caused by a hurricane's storm surge. Homeowners must buy separate flood coverage, either through the National Flood Insurance Program or from private companies. There is often a waiting period (30 days, in the case of federal flood insurance) before flood policies take effect. Homeowners who want coverage beyond a standard flood policy can also consider extra insurance, available from excess or surplus lines insurers.
While more than half of the survey participants revealed that they did review their policy on their own or with an agent, only 18 percent enhanced their plan with 12 percent purchasing a new plan. These low numbers may point to the difficulty many have with understanding their own insurance policy. Most times the policies are long and often contain jargon that's hard to understand without a background in insurance. Reviewing a policy on your own is a proactive step, but may not be enough to uncover policy gaps in the event of a natural disaster.
The control panel is used to arm and disarm the system. If the system is armed and one of the circuits on the window or door sensors is interrupted, an alarm sounds. If it is a professionally monitored system, that alarm also notifies the alarm company that there has been a breach. The alarm company then follows a set of procedures, including contacting the homeowner or emergency contact to make sure it is not a false alarm, and then the authorities (fire or police) are called.

text: A power turbine manufacturer in the US approached Handling Specialty with a material handling challenge. The company, which manufactures turbines weighing up to 100,000 lbs, needed to lift, lower and hold the turbine during its lengthy assembly process. Handling Specialty engineered and manufactured a four post mechanically actuated pit mounted lift that would hold the turbine during the various stages of assembly. The lift can easily manage loads up to 100,000 lbs and allows workers to access the entire circumference of the turbine in an ergonomically effective and safe manner throughout the assembly process.

The things we want to know
Congratulations! As weird as 2009 was, we managed to survive, and we endured the holidays without above-normal levels of drama. For this, I applaud us.
For the first column of the new decade, I thought it would be interesting to explore the mostasked questions during the first decade of the new millennia. Let's take a look at what inquiring minds really want to know.
After consulting Google, ask. com, seek.com, National Public Radio's "Watching Washington" blog and a few other newspapers, poll takers, pundits and more blogs, I found a surprising degree of agreement. The different resources concurred with the information that Internet users want to know, as sad as some of it might be.
The following is an assortment of inquiries, some with answers, to the most-asked questions on the Internet in different categories.
We'll start with a few of the "top 10 questions of 2009."
Number 10 was a real brainteaser: "What time is it?"
The fact that this question was included anywhere on the list of frequently asked questions is a sad testament to the mindset of the average visitor to the Internet.
Question number eight is very telling: "How long does marijuana stay in your system?" Who said the drug problem in the U.S. was on the decline? Think again.
The fifth most-asked question
reveals to the world that our populace does not spend an abundance of time seeking answers to profound and lofty questions. The question is: "What is Miley Cyrus' phone number?" If Google could answer that question, I would doubt that those who wanted to know would have the intelligence required to dial it.
Question number three left me speechless: "How do I get pregnant?" If the women asking this question were old enough and educated enough to peck out the inquiry on a computer keyboard, wouldn't you think they should know? And who said America is sexually repressed? Actually, America is not sexually repressed. Apparently, most of the country just flunked biology.
Number six was, "What is the meaning of life?" This was followed by, "When will the world end?" How original.
The number-one question, the single most frequently asked inquiry in the years 2000 to 2009, was: "How much should I weigh?" As depressing as it may be, that is the matter of biggest concern to the general populace of this country.
On the lighter side of the research, two of the most frequently asked questions in the category of entertainment were: "Is Lady Gaga a man?" and "Is Michael Jackson really dead?" Finally, Elvis can rest peacefully. That question has a new victim.
There was even a category for the many NASCAR fans visiting the Internet, seeking answers to questions about car racing that have been troubling them for some time. The number-one question of NASCAR fans was: "How do NASCAR drivers go to the bathroom?"
Does that question tell you that most NASCAR fans don't really know or care much about the racing? The number-two NASCAR question was, "Is Dale Earnhardt Jr. married?" That tells us that NASCAR probably has a few women fans, or maybe that's assuming too much. Perhaps the people asking are the only ones who know how to type. Otherwise, some actual racing questions might have been posted.
The number-one question in the category of technology was: "How do I make a website?" If that is an example of the level of curiosity concerning technological matters in this country, the space program is doomed.
Let's shift to political questions. The mainstream is much too depressing. According to National Public Radio's "Watching Washington," two of the most- asked political questions were:
"Will Sarah Palin pursue a career as a national media figure?" Here is part of the answer: "...She will flirt with another national campaign, but the downside of a poor showing would be too steep. She will opt for the spotlight, but not the hot seat."
Political question number one was: "How will the United States adjust to having a black president?" The answer: "So far, it's been a lot like the way the country adjusted to other new presidents. His race is arguably beside the point even for his fiercest opponents."
These are the major concerns of Internet visitors during the first decade of the new millennia in this system we can't understand. The questions are living proof that God must love us.

NEW YORK (AP) — You might expect Katie Holmes to have something to prove in her first acting appearance since splitting from Tom Cruise. You might expect her to emerge onstage in a gown by Valentino and shoes by Jimmy Choo.
Well, put those expectations aside. In Theresa Rebeck's new Broadway play, Holmes first appears in sweat pants and fuzzy pink slippers, her hair in a frazzled ponytail and her spoon in a quart of antidepressant ice cream.
In "Dead Accounts," Holmes plays an "old but pretty" woman who "seems like a loser" and lives at home with her parents. She only flashes her beauty once, freeing her hair and looking seductive — enough to remind you what a head-turner she can be.
It's a brave move for the 33-year-old, who deserves credit for trying hard. But she mostly tries hard to keep up with stage veterans Norbert Leo Butz and Jayne Houdyshell in Rebeck's oddly thin new play, which opened Thursday at the Music Box Theatre. Director Jack O'Brien struggles to both get the five-person cast to really jibe and the rhythm of the plot to get going.
Holmes relies too much on a whiny teenage angst and a guilelessness that worked on TV but lacks nuance onstage. That said, she does generate two of the biggest cheers in the play — one for pulling out a cheap box of wine from the fridge and the other for an anti-bankers rant that sounds like it could come from an Occupy Wall Street protester.
Rebeck, who created the first season of NBC's "Smash" and several well-received plays including "Seminar" and "Mauritius," has stumbled a bit with "Dead Accounts," a love letter to the hardworking, plainspoken Midwest, but one that lacks the sharpness and depth of her previous work.
Too often Rebeck's insights come in the form of clunky fortune cookie proverbs, as when one character says, "It's complicated. But anything true, is!" Or when another says: "Religion and money are just the dumb things we use to plug up the hole in our hearts because we're so afraid of dying."
The heavy lifting is done by Butz, who plays Jack, a banker who one day abandons his rich life in Manhattan for the calmer hometown sweetness of Cincinnati and his listless sister (Holmes), old buddy (a contained Josh Hamilton) and his slightly demented mother (a delightful Houdyshell). His chilly wife (nicely nasty Judy Greer) follows.
Jack is slightly crazed, buying too much ice cream and pizzas, sitting too close to people, spouting strange manic philosophy and flitting generally too close to the psychic edge. His sister puts it perfectly when she calls him "very a lot." The Act I curtain falls on the stunning reason he has fled.
Butz at first seems to be overcompensating for the smallness of Holmes, but the anguish and heart of his character are revealed beautifully. Butz makes Jack both lovesick in one moment and thunderously revengeful in the next, showing the complexity of a Midwestern boy in love with his local hot dogs and yet one who has grown comfortable in his plush steak-eating New York life.
But "Dead Accounts" doesn't really resolve anything or really end. It just sort of peters out, its momentum lost and none of its issues resolved. There's a halfhearted, last-second attempt to bring grace to Jack, but it's more of a Hail Mary-type pass, one born out of desperation. At the play's end, it feels like the audience itself should be handed quarts of ice cream as a commiserative olive branch.

This is the eleventh article in a series on common usability and graphical user interface related terms. On the internet, and especially in forum discussions like we all have here on OSNews, it is almost certain that in any given discussion, someone will most likely bring up usability and GUI related terms - things like spatial memory, widgets, consistency, Fitts' Law, and more. The aim of this series is to explain these terms, learn something about their origins, and finally rate their importance in the field of usability and (graphical) user interface design. After a rather long hiatus, this eleventh instalment will focus on bling, desktop effects, and compositing, and what they can contribute to the desktop experience.

At 4-4 the Ravens now wallow in third position in the AFCN - looking down the barrel of a sub 0.5 season. Yesterdays terrible loss was not only the virtual end of our playoff hopes, but it put a dagger through the heart of our continued growth in years to come. Stripped of our normally brutal defence this season we look behind everyone else in almost every other position.

ISO 8067 Flexible Cellular Polymeric Materials Tear Strength
This method is used to investigate the tear strength of flexible cellular polymeric materials that have a specified thickness. This test is for the determination of peak force and the tear strength characteristics of the product for a given rate of displacement.
In principle, the test specimen is clamped in the jaws of the testing machine, making sure that the test specimen is properly gripped. A force is applied at a constant rate of displacement - tearing the specimen until fracture. The tear force is calculated from the force peaks. We recommend using a high-speed intelligent test data logging rate. This is the transfer rate to the PC of 100Hz or more to capture and record all the peaks and troughs.
We used pneumatic action grips with rubber coated jaw faces for clamping of the material fitted to a tensile testing machine. While manual action grips will work, many of our users prefer the pneumatic action grips for ease of use, productivity, and better repeatability. Pneumatic action grips allow you to set a clamping pressure, while the manually operated grips depend on the operator's strength (which may not be so repeatable). We find that gripping pressure and specimen alignment are very important in these tests. Too much gripping pressure can produce premature breaks, while not enough gripping pressure can lead to specimen slippage or breaks at or near the jaws. These grips are usually fitted to single-column or dual-column design. Testing software, such as Bluehill®, is used to input specimen details, set the desired test control, automatically calculate the desired results and statistics, and produce a test report all in accordance with the standard
We suggest reviewing ISO 8067 to fully understand the test fixture and results requirements.
2710-100 Series Screw Side-Action Grips
Screw side-action grips provide a very simple and efficient method for holding test specimens in a wide range of applications. The dual - acting design of 2710-100 series grips means that jaw faces can be adjusted to accommodate different specimen thicknesses. This ensures that the line of tensile force remains concentric with the grip body. They can be equipped with a selection of interchangeable grip jaw faces in various sizes and choice of surfaces including smooth ground, rubber-coated and serrated. Line contact and special coated faces are also available.The unique 'snap-on' jaw face attachment makes changing faces extremely quick and simple.

Star Wars: Jose Hernandez Challenged Over Astronaut Title on Ballot
Democratic California congressional candidate José Hernández may have reached space, but his title as astronaut is now in question.
The California law firm Bell, McAndrews & Hiltachk quietly filed a lawsuit last week in a Sacramento County Superior Court that aims to take Hernández's profession as astronaut off the ballot in the newly redrawn 10th Congressional District, which includes Stanislaus and the southern portion of San Joaquin County.
"Hernandez's attempted use of 'astronaut' violates the Election Code's unambiguous requirement that a candidate's ballot designation reflect one's current profession, vocation, or one held during the previous calendar year," the lawsuit states, according to the Fresno Bee.
Hernández left NASA in January 2011.
While the law firm is not aligned with any political candidates, Bell, McAndrews & Hiltachk is backed by a number of GOP leaders and has worked for Hernandez's political opponent, incumbent Republican Rep. Jeff Denham.
Denham's campaign is not publicly affiliated with the legal challenge, though campaign records show the law firm has previously done legal work for Denham's campaign committee, the Bee reported.
Neither the Denham campaign nor Bell, McAndrews & Hiltachk were immediately available for comment.
Hernández fired back at the lawsuit and said that he would "vigorously defend against these charges."
"I thought the hardest part of being an astronaut was the training. I didn't realize it was going to be proving it in court. I'm honored to have of served my country and have confidence that common sense will prevail," Hernández added in a press release.
Hernández is the son of migrant farm workers and was not fluent in English until the age of 12. He went on to receive his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of the Pacific and a master's degree in engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Fox News Latino Speaks with Jose Hernández
In 2004, Hernández was selected by NASA as an Astronaut Candidate and in February 2006 he completed Astronaut Candidate Training. He flew aboard the shuttle Discovery in 2009 and left NASA two years later to work as Executive Director for Strategic Operations at MEI Technologies, Inc. in Houston, TX.
"I applied 12 times to become an astronaut and after each rejection I found a way to try even harder," Hernández said. "In 2009, I went into space onboard Space Shuttle Discovery to the International Space Station. The challenges our country is facing are far too important to waste any more time on petty partisan political games."
Besides Hernández, independent Chad Condit has also announced his intent to challenge Denham for the congressional seat.

How To Extract M1's ROM Firmware File~!!
If you open M1 or MB1's firmware ROM file in hex editor, you can see 3 files name in upper side.
There are EBOOT.nb0, nk.nb0, YPMB1_APPS.zip.
Rename EBOOT.nb0 to EBOOT.bin, nk.nb0 to nk.bin, YPMB1_APPS.zip to YPMB1_APPS.rar .
If you complete this process save changes and exit hex editor.
Input this fixed ROM file to M1. (If you using MB1 you should working with YP-MB1.rom file.)
Udate firmware, In this process M1 will store EBOOT.bin, nk.bin, YPMB1_APPS.rar files in your storage.
Connect M1 to your computer and rename again to there original file names.
EBOOT.nb0 to EBOOT.nb0, nk.bin to nk.nb0, YPMB1_APPS.rar to YPMB1_APPS.zip
And if you open YPMB1_APPS.zip file with archive tool you can see NandFlash2 folder.
This folder contains M1's application files.
And remember M1's original name is P4.
Yes, p4app.exe is a M1 launcher.
p4app.exe is working with that named p4start.exe, stored in Win CE's Windows folder.
Finally...EBOOT.nb0 and nk.nb0 are Win CE's image files.
With my pool engineering... I can't working with this image files.
(Anyone support for this work...??)
I have been extracted nk.nb0 with dumprom.exe, but it changes to MIPS file.
Sadly...M1's Win CE is a ARM based operating system.
But I think dll files not distinguish between ARM and MIPS.
Only exe files must it.
I am Korean user, activating in one of my favorite cafe.(simillar with forum)
http://cafe.naver.com/ypt9 (jollaman999/M1 user)
We will waiting for your nice work with theese files.
Thanks for read it~

RPM Italian
52 W. Illinois St. 312-222-1888
Rating: !! 1/2 (out of 4) Take it or leave it
To really enjoy reality TV, you have to suspend judgment. If you don't think too hard, it can be a deliciously fun distraction.
All the glitz and glamour of an over-the-top reality TV show is embodied in RPM Italian, a new River North restaurant from Chicago's own reality TV couple, Bill and Giuliana Rancic. (He is the first winner of "The Apprentice," she's a fixture on E! News and "Fashion Police," and they both star in their own show on the Style Channel.) For their first foray into the dining scene, they paired up with a few folks who know the drill: R.J., Jerrod and Molly Melman, who also run Hub 51 and Paris Club for hometown heavyweight Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises.
Some dishes are inspired by the family recipes of Naples-born Giuliana, while the rest are courtesy of chef/partner Doug Psaltis, who also helped craft Paris Club's French fare. And much like Paris Club, RPM has a massive menu full of approachable dishes, a DJ booth in the bar area and tables filled with good-looking night owls sizing each other up. But does RPM deliver more style than substance? I stopped in soon after opening to find out.
Don't be lazy when ordering.
The food menu is huge, and it's easy to be distracted by the designer heels under the next table or the Melman brothers holding court in the dining room. But that doesn't mean you should go the easy route and order the first dishes on the menu that sound familiar, like spaghetti or polenta. The polenta with a poached egg, parmesan cheese and black truffles ($14) tastes just as indulgent as it sounds, but without a crunchy or chewy element the whole thing feels mushy. The small pasta plates are priced so that you can order a few to share, but the ones I tried mostly fell flat. Basic spaghetti ($16) dyed jet-black with squid ink is spiced up with red chilies and king crab, but the flavors vied for my attention rather than working together. I hoped for meaty comfort in the lamb sugo, a tomato-based sauce served on top of handkerchief-shaped chickpea pasta (think ravioli without the pocket), but it just tasted bland.
Instead, take a risk.
The dishes that you're less familiar with might just be your best bets. Roman-style artichokes ($11) are fried and served warm, with leaves that crunch in your mouth before melting into a rich, flaky bite. Duck agnolotti pasta with brussels sprouts and mission figs ($12) was my favorite of the night, balancing the fruit's sweetness with the duck's gaminess to make the whole far better than the sum of the parts.
And definitely order another round of drinks.
Cocktail whiz Paul McGee (you've seem him and his beard at his former post, The Whistler) presides over the booze offerings, so while wine may seem the obvious partner for Italian food, skip a bottle in favor of a creative cocktail. I came to the table holding a grudge against grappa, an Italian brandy that's always reminded me of lighter fluid. But the Pinwheel ($11), made with vodka, grappa, Amaro Montenegro and orange marmalade, set me straight with a refreshing interplay of citrus and fizz. If I was walking the Italian Riviera in June, this is the drink I'd want to have in hand.
Speaking of those drinks …
They don't end when the dinner plates are cleared. The dessert menu highlights a dozen amaros ($8), a type of bittersweet, herbal Italian liqueur traditionally nursed after a meal. For amaro newbies like me, McGee suggested pours from the "light" section, which are sweet but still potent, while seasoned sippers can try the more intimidating "robust" section.
The bottom line
My dinner was as full of highs and lows as dramatic as elimination night on "The Apprentice," but if you fix your gaze on your drink and the scene rather than fixating on what's filling your plate, you'll be pleasantly swept up in the fantasy.
Looks like: Paris Club, only with a more sleek and sparkly interior and shades over all the windows.
Not to be confused with: RM, the champagne salon opening later this spring in the West Loop. That RM stands for a champagne term, recoltants manipulants, while RPM stands for the owners' last names: Rancic, Psaltis, Melman.
Don't wear: A white blazer, or risk being mistaken for one of the servers.
Good for: An after-work bite or a fun dinner before heading to neighboring club The Underground. Even your "Fashion Police"-obsessed mother wouldn't feel too out of place.
Reservations: Highly recommended for dinner. For an impromptu meal, head for the massive bar area for first-come, first-served seating.
Keep in mind: Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises restaurants are known for like-clockwork service, but my server seemed like he was still getting the hang of things. Maybe that's why he said all the cheeses are made in-house when it says right on the menu they're imported from Italy?
VIP extras: The raised area behind the main bar is a VIP area that can be curtained off for parties needing a bit of privacy. Even if you never sit there yourself, be on the lookout for celeb sightings.

VMware vSphere 5.5 has a rich and complex storage system that offers several features to improve performance and availability. Unfortunately, like most things in information technology, these great features are usually referred to by an alphabet soup of acronyms. This guide will help clarify the functionality these features bring to the overall virtual storage system.
VMware provides these features via a set of storage system application programming interfaces (APIs) that vendors can leverage to extend vSphere's native functionality. While vSphere API for Array Integration (VAAI) provides storage array integration, vSphere API for Storage Awareness (VASA) supplies storage awareness, and vSphere Storage APIs-Data Protection (VSA-DP) enable clientless guest backup and recovery. Let's take a detailed look at all three.
Beginning with vSphere 4.1, VMware exposed VAAI so that storage systems could offload tasks usually handled by the vSphere storage system. Initially, this only applied to block-based storage (Fiber Channel attached and iSCSI). With vSphere 5, these capabilities were expanded, and support for NFS was added. These functionalities are collectively known as primitives. Here are the primitives for block storage and what they enable.
- Atomic Test and Set (ATS): It locks VMFS volumes at the file level, instead of the entire volume. It allows faster access by multiple hosts, since they no longer require a SCSI reservation for metadata changes.
- Clone Blocks: This leverages the array to copy or migrate data when the source and destination are both located within the array. It dramatically improves copy times.
- Write Same: This primitive is also known as "Zero Blocks." When creating an eager zeroed thick provisioned disk, the array writes all the zeros. This saves the vSphere storage system from physically writing all the zeros and conserves storage network bandwidth. The disk also is created much faster. This is especially useful when enabling fault tolerance protection for VMs.
- Thin Provisioning: This allows vSphere to notify an array when a VM has been deleted or migrated to new storage. It allows the thin provisioned LUN to reclaim the space.
- Block Delete: This allows reclamation of space using the SCSI UNMAP command.
Here are the NFS storage primitives and what they enable.
- Full File Clone: Similar to clone blocks, it enables VM clone operations to be offloaded to the array.
- Native Snapshot Support: This allows snapshot creation to be offloaded to the array.
- Extended Statistics: This primitive reports array space usage to vCenter.
- Reserve Space: This allows thick provisioned disks on NFS datastores.
Two things are required to leverage VAAI. First, the hosts must be licensed with vSphere Enterprise or Enterprise Plus. Second, the array must support the functionality. For this support, a plug-in usually needs to be installed. Check with the array manufacturer to see if this is available.
When vSphere 5 was announced, several industry pundits referred to it as the "storage release." Two of its most exciting storage features are Storage Profiles and Storage Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS). VASA is a way to extend the functionality of both.
VASA provides visibility to characteristics -- such as features, health, and performance -- of supported arrays through a "provider." The provider is a third-party vSphere Installation Bundle (VIB) driver that is installed in the hosts.
Using the exposed array information, you can create Storage Profiles that directly address specific array functionality, including deduplication, replication, and snapshots. Status information also can be leveraged by Storage DRS to hone the accuracy of its recommendations.
To enable VASA, the third-party driver must be installed. Check with the storage vendor for availability and installation instructions. vSphere Enterprise Plus licensing also is required.
The ability to back up guest VMs without a client is one of the great features of vSphere. VSA-DP enables third-party backup vendors to leverage this feature and have complete visibility into the guest file system.
The following is a list of extra functionality that VSA-DP provides for guest VM backup and restore.
- Change Block Tracking: This allows for faster incremental and differential backups.
- File Level Backup and Restore: Granular file system access is provided on supported Linux and Windows guests.
- Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) Support: This provides improved data consistency and Microsoft application awareness.
All third-party backup software for vSphere makes use of VSA-DP, which is supported on every license level of vSphere.
vSphere Storage APIs provide incredible extended functionality to the virtual storage system. Check with third-party vendors as to their requirements to enable these great features. Firmware upgrades to enable storage API support also are available on several older models. Make sure you're getting the most out of your storage systems by leveraging tools that you may already own.

Gabriel C. Spalding to Receive the 2014 Homer L. Dodge Citation for Distinguished Service to AAPT
College Park, MD, October 16, 2013—AAPT has announced that Gabriel C. Spalding will receive the association's Homer L. Dodge Citation for Distinguished Service to AAPT during the 2014 Winter Meeting in Orlando, Florida.
Spalding is Professor of Physics at Illinois Wesleyan University where his recent work has utilized holographically textured fields to trap and manipulate matter. Besides being a past member and Chair of the AAPT Committee on Laboratories, he has been active on multiple AAPT committees as either a committee member or friend of the committee. He has been an organizer or contributor to a session at nearly every AAPT semi-annual national meeting for years. He has also been active behind the scenes and on task forces and subcommittees, and served on the AAPT Nominating Committee during 2012-13. His time and energy support advances in physics education and lab education in particular.
In July 2012, he chaired the conference on laboratory instruction Beyond the First Year (thereby introducing the "BFY" acronym) at the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University. This was an extremely unusual opportunity for hands-on exposure to a broad assortment of contemporary instructional labs appropriate to Modern Physics Labs, Electronics, Optics, Advanced Labs, as well as key instructional labs in Statistical Physics, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, Quantum Mechanics, etc. At the same time, the conference served as an opportunity to discuss a range of curricular models that allow for enhancement of the undergraduate physics major. Organizing this particular conference was a logistic tour de force.
In 2010, while serving as ALPHA president, he initiated a joint AAPT/ALPHA single-photon detector project that makes this equipment available for instructional laboratories at a wide variety of institutions. More than 240 single-photon detectors have been shipped to 61 institutions.
Regarding his selection to receive this award, he said, "The powerful thing about participating in our professional organization, AAPT, is the degree to which all of us, working together, make a difference. It is very satisfying to be a part of this particular community."

Browse all regions in New York
About New York
The state of New York really runs the whole spectrum, from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan to the silent, unspoiled wilderness of Long Island and the upstate areas. The Adirondack Mountains run through the center of the state, offering endless opportunities to hike, fish and camp during your vacation, while majestic Niagara Falls highlights the state's western end. Regardless of where you choose to visit, New York is a vibrant, diverse state with much to offer.
Top highlights of the Empire State include:
- New York City: The Big Apple has it all, from the Statue of Liberty and Wall Street to Central Park and the Empire State Building. You could spend your entire trip exploring New York museums and still not even scratch the surface of all there is to see. One day in the city and you'll see why people say, "I love New York!"
- Niagara Falls: One of North America's natural icons, Niagara Falls is a must-see if you're in upstate New York. It's also a short drive from Buffalo, allowing you to head into the city for some authentic chicken wings and to check out some of the elite art and architecture.
- Long Island: Home to the Hamptons, Montauk and huge expanses of unspoiled greenery, Long Island is a quiet respite east of New York City and offers the best of both urban and natural spaces. Many New York cruises also leave from Long Island ports, making it an excellent place to start an extended vacation in the Atlantic region.
- Albany: The state's capital city has the feel of a much smaller town despite its metropolitan size. Its upstate location makes it the perfect base for exploring the Empire State's great outdoors, too.
- The Adirondack Mountains: If you want to commune with nature, head into the Adirondacks to fish, hike, hunt or just take in the breathtaking scenery or tree-topped peaks extending into the sky.
Take the guesswork out of renting hotels by choosing vacation rentals in the city, such as condos and extended-stay apartment rentals. If you're on Long Island or upstate, you can also choose from a wide range of summer rentals, should you choose to while away the warm weather in New York.
New York is also an excellent base for exploring more of New England, particularly in the fall. If you're in the Niagara Falls-Buffalo area, you're just a hop, skip and jump away from Canada, too. Viewing the Falls from the Canadian side is highly recommended if you have the chance.
