The statistical analysis system (SPSS version 17.0) software was used to analyse all the data. The data were expressed as mean±standard error of mean (SEM) and the data were analysed using the Student's t -test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukeys post hoc multiple comparison test. Differences were considered statistically significant at P <0.05 for all the experiments used in this study. All treatments (six fishes in each treatment) were assayed in duplicate for each fish.

If you are dealing with small amounts, like those mentioned above, then the conversions are okay. But according to the authors of "The New Best Recipe" (the same people who write Cook's Illustrated), there can be a big difference between brands of kosher salt. I know that for Diamond Crystal kosher salt, they gave a conversion ratio of 2:1. That is, use 2 teaspoons of kosher salt if a recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of table salt. For a different brand of kosher salt (I think it was Morton's), they gave a conversion ratio of 1.5:1 — the same one that you mentioned.
Again, this really won't make a big difference if you are measuring in teaspoons, but if you want to brine something and are using a cup or two of salt, then it can make a difference.
Don't you love how people go nuts over salt grinders? They don't seem to understand that salt is a rock and it's not any fresher if you grind it yourself. Love your site!
Hi iPont,
Great comments about the difference in salts. I am one of those people who enjoy my salt grinder not because I think it is any fresher, it just reduces the size of the salt when I add it to finished dishes. I also like the feel of grinding the salt as I do grinding pepper. – RG
The Prof is correct when it comes to basic table salt v kosher v sea, but there are literally scores, maybe hundreds of gourmet salt varieties. I've never actually used them, but I've seen them in gourmet stores and on Iron Chef. They are amost always colored due to impurities being left in the crystal structure.
Don't make fun of my Salt Grinder! I love it! I know it doesn't make salt fresher, but it's what every gal needs…a gimmick!
Yes, I love the salt grinders for entertainment value. There's a very well known spice brand sold here in Africa that recently added "Freshly Ground Atlantic Sea Salt" to their extensive product range. Now, no weekend meal with friends is complete without the hilarity of a discussion about the need to use such freshly ground salt on our food. Mock tantrums have ensued when one or other guests were forced to use pre ground salt to sprinkle over their plate instead of the freshly ground that their delicate palates favour. What a laugh. I wonder how many people find a 'genuine advantage' in freshly grinding their salt not realising they've being suckered.
In all embryonic preparations, lpm, pdm, and dgm were silent in control saline when the neuromodulatory inputs were removed (data not shown). In CabTRP, the mean fundamental frequencies of activity in pdm (0. 23 ± 0.08 Hz,
= 7) and lpm (0.23 ± 0.07 Hz,
= 7) were not statistically different (unpaired
= 0.15,
= 7) (
colour lace wedge sandals Outlet Classic Buy Cheap Store JGCeKAY
B ). We did not calculate the fundamental frequency for embryonic dgm because activity in dgm was highly irregular (1–4 bursts in 5–10 min recordings). CabTRP-activated motor patterns were not changed when the muscles were hyperpolarized, and the waveforms of these events were typical of embryonic EJPs.
The CabTRP-activated motor patterns in embryos and adults were different. In CabTRP, lpm was activated in the embryo but the LP neuron was not activated in the adult. The embryonic dgm was either silent or produced very slow, infrequent activity, but in the adult, DG fired together with the PD neuron. There were no statistical differences between the mean fundamental frequencies of activity in adult PD neurons and embryonic pdm [unpaired t test, p = 0.95, n = 6 (adult), n = 7 (embryo)].
Comparing the phase relationships of the CabTRP-activated motor patterns between embryos and adults, adult PD and DG neurons fired together (DG phase at ∼0 in the PD phase; mean coherence magnitude, 0.92 ± 0.09) (

C ), whereas embryonic lpm and pdm fired in alternation (lpm phase at ∼0.5 in the pdm phase; mean coherence magnitude, 0.71 ± 0.12) ( Fig. 8 D ).
We also wanted to examine the maturity of the embryonic STG response to a modulator whose expression in the embryonic inputs is mature. Red pigment concentrating hormone (RPCH) is a peptide that modulates adult pyloric neurons and has a very similar expression pattern in the adult and embryonic STNS (
Fénelon et al., 1999
Thirumalai and Marder, 2002
). When RPCH was bath-applied to an adult STG isolated from its neuromodulatory inputs, the activity patterns in the PD and LP neurons were similar, and the DG neuron fired bursts at a slower frequency (

A , B ). In embryos, RPCH also activated all three neurons, resulting in motor pattern in which lpm and pdm were active at approximately the same frequency, which was faster than dgm ( Fig. 9 C , D ).

The adult LP and embryonic lpm spectrograms also look similar (most activity occurred less than ∼0.04 Hz) but, the fundamental frequency of activity in this adult LP neuron (0.13 Hz) was faster than that in embryonic lpm (0.08 Hz) ( Fig. 10 A , B , center panels). Activity in the spectrogram of the adult PD neuron (fundamental frequency = 0.09 Hz) was faster than that in embryonic pdm (0.05 Hz) ( Fig. 10 A , B , first panels).

STOCKTON - A returning goaltender and a new defenseman joined the Thunder on Tuesday.
STOCKTON - A returning goaltender and a new defenseman joined the Thunder on Tuesday.
The franchise announced goalie Olivier Roy and defenseman Brandon Davidson were assigned to Stockton by the Edmonton Oilers. Both had been with Oklahoma City of the AHL and are expected to be on the active roster when the Thunder hosts Ontario at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Stockton Arena.
The arrival of Roy, 21, gives the Thunder (24-20-9) three goalies on the roster, along with Edmonton prospect Tyler Bunz and free-agent signee Cody Reichard. Stockton coach Matt Thomas said all three will be on the team, and he's working on how he will deal with the situation.
"We play on Friday, so there's a little time to figure how we want to handle this," Thomas said. "I do know Olivier was sent here to play, so we will get him in games."
The Barons claimed Niko Hovinen off waivers last month and had three goalies until sending down Roy, who went 16-18-5 with a 2.49 goals-against average last season for Stockton. He was 7-8-1 with a 2.86 GAA for the Barons this season.
Davidson, 21, is returning after undergoing successful treatment for testicular cancer. He played one game with Oklahoma City on Feb. 8 before being sent to Stockton.

A High Peak beer maker has been named in the top 100 breweries in the world by beer drinkers online.
Buxton Brewery, which owns the Buxton Tap House on George Street, made it onto the Rate Beer list for the second year running.
One of only seven English breweries to make the international list, the brewery, based in Staden Business Park, beat off 16,000 other beer makers worldwide.
It's not the first time Rate Beer, where ale lovers rate their pints, has praised the Derbyshire brewery.
It also has four beers in the list of England's 50 best beers: Imperial Black in 16th place, Tsar at 22nd and the brewery's most popular Axe Edge at 40th.
Owner Geoff Quinn said: "We're pretty happy. It's amazing. We only started in 2010 and there's only five of us. It's a testament to how hard we all work.
"You don't win anything physical, it's more for the prestige. We'll put it on our website though and we're hoping it will lift our profile and bring in new business. A lot of pubs use Rate Beer to find good breweries."
Buxton Brewery regularly brews 20 different bottled and cask beers including stouts, Indian pale ales and porters, as well as special reserves which are aged in barrels for nine to 12 months.
At present, the company creates around 40,000 pints a month, but is in the process of moving to the old bakery across the road, that is three times larger than their current premises.
Once fully operational, they hope to brew up to 125,000 pints a month.
The brewery exports its craft beer to 14 countries on five continents.
You can try them in the Pavilion Gardens, the Old Hall Hotel, the Old Courthouse Wine and Coffee Bar, Wetherspoons Wye Bridge House, Buxton Conservative Club, the Cheshire Cheese and the Queens Head Hotel.
Rate Beer, a worldwide consumer website dedicated to craft beer, is similar to Trip Adviser for beer lovers.
The top five brewers in the world were ranked, while the remainder, including Buxton Brewery were not given a ranking. Last year, Buxton was placed in 52nd position.

Pay figures reported Monday by The Record no doubt made a few readers gasp.
Pay figures reported Monday by The Record no doubt made a few readers gasp.
About one in four of the Stockton's 1,279 full-time workers made more than $100,000 last year. That, in a city with a median household income of just over $47,000.
Added to what seems a glaring disparity is the fact that the city is trying to convince a federal bankruptcy judge that Stockton is insolvent.
In fact, one of the arguments city creditors are using in their attempt to block bankruptcy is the pay city workers get. Cut their pay and repay the millions you owe us, the creditors argue to the city.
Oh, but that it was that simple.
"We're not hiring people that work at McDonald's," said City Manager Bob Deis. "We're hiring a lot of people with degrees."
And he's correct. Meaning no disrespect for those working in fast food, you can't hire someone to run the water treatment plant who was wearing a paper hat at work the week before.
Stockton, its money woes notwithstanding, must compete on the open market for people with specific skills. We can argue that public employees in this state are paid too much, especially compared to the taxpayers paying their salaries. Certainly some are. But the reality is, Stockton must compete for the available pool of talent against other public agencies and private companies.
The argument also is made that hundreds showed up at a recent recruitment event for police officers. That means there is a huge demand for a limited supply of police jobs, the argument goes, meaning police pay can be drastically cut.
In fact, huge numbers of police applicants wash out, and those who do pass the physical, psychological and intelligence screening must also undergo a rigorous background screening. If you get one of those jobs in one department, your stock with other law enforcement agencies seeking officers goes up appreciably.
That means Stockton must compete for officers, the exodus in recent years of seasoned officers fearing pay and benefit cuts being evidence of what can happen. If we want qualified officers and other specialized city workers, we've got to pay the market rate.
The city has reined in its total payroll in recent years. Dozens and dozens of police officers were cut even as violent crime spiked. That has unintended consequences, of course, in the form of higher overtime. One officer, for example, made more in overtime last year than he made in base salary. Somebody has to roll when a 911 call comes in.
The city is slowly trying to rebuild the department.
All this being said, there has been the rather breathtaking practice of letting city employees receive what's known as "sell backs" and "pay offs," That benefit allowed former Police Chief Blair Ulring two years ago to walk away with $413,836 in earnings for the year. Or Mike Niblock, the city's former community development director, to retire, come back for some special assignments and earn $436,086 for the year.
Both those earnings are in the neighborhood of nine times the city's median household income.
The lid has been clamped on that practice, but knowing the end was near, any number of city workers hit the door, selling back unused sick leave and vacation time as they did. In 2011, the city paid out $6.5 million to department employees who left before the city ended the practice last year.
The city has to pay, and in some instances handsomely, for specialized talent, whether its creditors in bankruptcy court think so or not. But the city must keep working to rein in employee costs and not use what others are doing as an excuse.

For their immediate elders, the new technologies have led to another culture: the Culture of Constant Work, in which cellphones, e-mail and Blackberries make employees reachable around the clock, and therefore unable to disconnect from the demands of the workplace. Even on vacation (or on retreat) the temptation to check e-mail and voice mail, just to ensure that things wont be too burdensome upon returning to the office, can be overwhelming. Statistics underscore the explosion in new technologies: this year, the number of cellphone owners surpassed 2.5 billion worldwide.
Ironically, the introduction of many of the new technologies was supposed to lessen our workloads. Readers with long memories will recall that the advent of the personal computer in the workplace in the early 1980s was expected to lead to the paperless office and a four-day work week. Instead, computers have created ever more paper (writing and printing using a computer are easier than using a typewriter) and a seven-day workweek (since there are fewer employees who cannot be reached on the weekends). Likewise, e-mail was supposed to free us from extraneous phone calls and letters. Instead it has filled our lives with even more superfluous communication.
There is also a related danger. As we spend more time connected to these technologies, we may become more disconnected from one another, from our families, from our communities and, because of a lack of quiet space, from ourselves and ultimately from God.
Yet this is only one side of the tale. Cellphones are a relatively inexpensive way to reassure parents of a young childs safety, to allow adult children to monitor a parents well-being, and to help the college student feel less lonely on a new campus. According to a survey by Virginia Tech in 2005, 80 percent of all cellphone bills for college students were paid by parents, which shows something of the importance that parents place on access to their children (or the unreliability of undergrads when it comes to paying their own bills). In many places in the developing world where there was once no phone service, cellphones are a boon. The omnipresent iPod, too, can help a person find a peaceful break in the midst of an increasingly noisy world.
New technologies allow people to connect in other innovative ways. And with God, too. Spirituality sites spring up almost daily on the Internet, and people have grown accustomed to visiting sites like Beliefnet, Pray-as-you-go and Sacred Space to help reboot their spiritual lives. Many commuters download podcasts to listen to while driving to work or riding the subway. So the dawn of new technologies is not a cause simply for lament. It should also lead to some rejoicing. Technology both gives and takes away.
Still, there is much to be cautious about when it comes to new technologies, particularly when they affect community life and the spiritual life. Spiritual masters in almost every tradition have long counseled the need for solitude and quiet. One can experience God in many ways, but there remains a need for allowing God to speak to us, as the prophet Elijah learned, in a still, small voice.
Without silence, without a conscious disconnecting from the cares of the day, from work, even from friends and family, it becomes increasingly hard to carve out space needed to listen to ones own thoughts, and to God. St. Benedict wrote in his Rule, Silence and the absence of noise in a certain manner encourage the soul to think of God. To connect with God, it is sometimes necessary to disconnect.

The dollar strengthened from almost an eight-month low against the euro after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the U.S. may fall off the so-called fiscal cliff that threatens the nation with recession.
The 17-nation euro climbed earlier today after French consumer confidence unexpectedly improved and Italian business sentiment increased. The yen reached a 28-month low against the dollar as John Taylor, founder and chairman of New York-based currency hedge fund FX Concepts LLC, said Japan's currency may weaken to 90 per dollar for the first time since June 2010. Riskier assets fell, including the Standard & Poor's 500 Index of stocks, which declined 1 percent.
"The acceleration in stock selling has benefited the dollar," Andrew Wilkinson, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak & Co. in New York, said in a telephone interview. "I would attribute it to the fiscal cliff, but also lackluster year-end trading."
The dollar was little changed at $1.3222 per euro at 1:44 p.m. New York time, after falling as much as 0.5 percent. The yen fell 0.4 percent to 86.01 per dollar, touching the weakest level since Aug. 16, 2010. Japan's currency declined 0.5 percent to 113.75 per euro.
Winners, Losers
South Africa's rand has gained 4.7 percent this month against the U.S. currency, the biggest increase of the greenback's major peers. The yen has declined 4.1 percent.
This year, the South Korean won has advanced 7.5 percent as the yen has fallen 10.5 percent.
The Dollar Index, which IntercontinentalExchange Inc. uses to track the greenback against currencies of six U.S. trading partners, rose 0.1 percent to 79.71, after falling as much as 0.3 percent.
Reid said a resolution to the U.S. budget dispute before Jan. 1 appears unlikely because Republicans won't cooperate.
"I don't know time-wise how it can happen now," Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said on the Senate floor today. He blamed House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, both Republicans.
"If it became clear that we aren't going to have any kind of a compromise or interim agreement, then that might be negative for markets at that point and it would be dollar positive," Nick Bennenbroek, head of currency strategy at Wells Fargo & Co. in New York, said in a telephone interview. "Markets are looking for some kind of compromise."

Patrick, I've asked on several sites what the deal with * html is. I see it as a hack which is guaranteed to target IE5.x and 6.x only, so I write clean code and use it as an override to correct bugs found in only those browsers.
And Matt, to answer your question, it means maintaining multiple stylesheets. I find it much easier to have one stylesheet where the IE corrections are right with my original style declarations (using * html).

Yehouda Chaki's Painterly Paintings Depict Light on Bodies, Mountains, and Flowers
Artsy Editorial
Yehouda Chaki's paintings of landscapes and still lifes celebrate discrete moments of color that combine to form a roiling, beautiful whole. Like the Impressionists and the Pointilists that preceded him, Chaki's pastoral imagery is imbued with the artist's personal vision and experience of the natural world around him. Colours of Spring 1370 (2013) depicts a broad valley beneath a cloudy sky, rendered in bright, Fauvist colors. Chaki's work also suggests the influence of painters of the Hudson River school, whose images of the luminous, rolling vistas of the American landscape deeply informed the country's identity.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Music, jazz music, is what keeps Lionel Ferbos going at 102.
The Creole jazz singer and trumpeter celebrated his 102nd birthday July 17 by blowing the high notes for friends and family at the French Quarter club where he's had a standing gig for decades. He also sang at a recent birthday bash at the National World War II Museum, breaking into "When You're Smiling" as swing dancers shimmied.
Impeccable in a button-up shirt and tie, he posed for pictures all smiles. He cracked jokes about his age. And he relished the attention as he was serenaded both times with upbeat renditions of "Happy Birthday."
"I thought I'd be dead at about 60," he said, laughing.
No jazz funeral for Lionel Ferbos just yet. Yet even he finds the longevity surprising.
"Isn't that something?" he said. "But you know I never dreamed of that. I figured if I could go to about 50 I'd be doing good."
Not bad for a guy born on July 17, 1911, several months before the Titanic sank and a few years away from World War I.
Ferbos bought his first cornet at a French Quarter pawn shop at age 15. Now he's believed to be the oldest actively working musician in New Orleans — the Mississippi River port city where aging jazz musicians thrive.
His body isn't without signs of age. He's been in and out of the hospital in recent years and had a pacemaker implanted last year. He sometimes uses a wheelchair to get around. Despite a century of wear and tear, he's still determined to sing and blow.
"He has such a memorable singing voice, and it's always a treasure whether he's playing his trumpet or singing," said Al Kennedy, a longtime friend and fan. "He is somebody that younger musicians should know about, from the way that he shows up, the way he is dressed, the way he cares for his horn, the way he plays his horn."
Asthmatic as a child, he might never have played a wind instrument at all if it had been up to his parents.
"My mother wanted me to play the banjo," he said, adding that when he saw an all-girl band playing horns, "I said if they can play, I can play."
Ferbos began lessons with Professor Paul Chaligny, who wouldn't let him blow his horn until he knew how to read music. His early professional jobs were in the early '30s with society jazz bands like the Starlight Serenaders and the Moonlight Serenaders. He also performed with Captain Handy's Louisiana Shakers. He's still adored by fans for his big band and ragtime jazz style. His band packs the Palm Court Jazz Cafe on Saturday nights, with locals and tourists alike.
In his early career, his ability to read music put him in demand for gigs that took him to parks, schools, churches, dance halls and even prisons. He has performed at every New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival since its 1970 inception. And for more than two decades, he's had his gig at the Palm Court Jazz Cafe where he was toasted on his birthday.
"You could throw anything in front of him, and he knows it," Kennedy said. "And because of his professionalism, that's why so many bands wanted him and were happy when they signed him up."
He was making little more than a dollar a night when he played with Handy and Pichon in the 1930s. Yet Ferbos went on to perform with some of the biggest names in traditional jazz, among them Captain John Handy, Walter Pichon and blues singer Mamie Smith. He also performed with saxophonist Harold Dejan and trumpeters Herbert Leary, Gene Ware and Sidney Desvignes.
"He comes from that era where jazz started," said Ron Schexnayder, Ferbos' grandson. "Even though a lot of his friends are all gone, he's met all these big guys; so it's wonderful to have him still alive and still on stage and still performing."
Ferbos is believed to be the last living member of the New Orleans WPA band, a group formed in the Great Depression by laborers in the Works Progress Administration under President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Ferbos said he was digging out one of the lagoons at New Orleans' City Park for the WPA when he was asked to join the band.
Manual labor wasn't something foreign to him.
Like many musicians of that era, Ferbos had a day trade. He worked for decades as a tinsmith, first in his father's French Quarter workshop, then eventually taking over the family business and building his own workshop. The business made everything from gutters and roofing material to air conditioning ducts for homes and businesses.
"Everywhere you drive with him around the city, he's pointing to a place where he had at one time worked," Kennedy said. "He did a lot of work putting tin up in bars."
Ferbos retired from the craft while in his 70s. His artistry in metal making was featured in the acclaimed exhibition on Creole building arts at the New Orleans Museum of Art.
Despite his long music career, Ferbos made few early recordings. He played at clubs on South Rampart Street, the city strip that in the 1920s and '30s was the epicenter of a bustling black entertainment district. After he joined the Ragtime and the Palm Court bands, he was recorded on several CDs on the GHB label. He is also featured on other recent recordings with New Orleans musicians.
"I just admire his dedication to his music," said Krystle Ferbos, the musician's granddaughter, who attended both birthday celebrations. "The discipline that he's exhibited with his craft is something that I aspire to do with the things that I enjoy in life."
Ferbos was part of the original stage band of the off-Broadway hit "One Mo' Time," though he dropped out of show in the '70s when it moved to New York. He rarely performed outside his hometown New Orleans, which is where he met his wife, Creole seamstress Margarite Gilyot.
The couple married in 1934 and remained inseparable for 75 years. Friends and family say they were rarely seen apart before his wife's death in 2009.
"When you talk to Lionel you realize how quick a life goes," Kennedy said. "For him, those 75 years vanished in the blink of an eye. It's a lesson to all of us out there to really treasure what life you have at the moment because it's so fleeting."
Ferbos won the "2003 Big Easy Lifetime Achievement Award" and has frequently been called on to tell about his experiences in the Depression, as well as in music and with metal making, on panels and in history classes.
He plays weekly at the Palm Court Jazz Cafe, where he leads the Palm Court Jazz Band on Saturday nights. At home, he practices often.
"He believes in being prepared," Kennedy said. "He will go through his song list to make sure that if he can be bandleader one more time, he's going to be ready."

Weirdo Deluxe
The Wild World of Pop Surrealism & Lowbrow Art
"Lowbrow" it may be called, but high-profile best describes the cultural impact of this contemporary art movement. Found everywhere from wine labels and high-end bar accessories to major motion pictures (Teacher's Pet, the upcoming Pink Panther), the visibility of this dynamic work has rapidly increased in the last few years to worldwide recognition and acclaim. Weirdo Deluxe is the first significant manifesto of the genre—a riotous blend of pop culture, street culture, pop art, and surrealism—and includes profiles of and interviews with 23 leading artists and hundreds of outrageous examples of their work. Special features include an expansive timeline, and peeks at the artists' collections and influences. Weirdo Deluxe is at once a primer and lowbrow art sourcebook as well as a visual homage to pop culture.

With its highest premiere-week 18-49 rating in five years, NBC tops No. 2 ABC by a 35 percent margin, the biggest week-one advantage since 1997
"Sunday Night Football" is the No. 1 primetime telecast of the week in 18-49 and Total Viewers
NBC has finished No. 1 in adults 18-49 and all other key demographics among ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX for premiere week of the 2013-14 primetime television season, jumping 7 percent versus the year-ago week to claim the network's highest premiere-week rating since 2008. According to "live plus same day" viewing figures from Nielsen Media Research, NBC averaged a 3.1 rating, 9 share in adults 18-49, and 9.7 million viewers overall for the week. NBC has now won premiere week two years in a row with year-to-year gains both years.
NBC's 35 percent margin of victory for the week over No. 2 ABC (3.1 vs. 2.3) is the biggest premiere-week win for any network in 16 years, since NBC's 43 percent advantage in 1997. NBC's margin is up substantially from the network's year-ago advantage of 12 percent (2.9 vs. 2.6 for No. 2 Fox).
This dominant NBC win comes on the heels of the network's No. 2 finish for the 2012-13 broadcast year in 18-49, which marked the first time NBC has finished the year ahead of FOX or ABC without Olympic or Super Bowl help since 2002-03.
In total viewers, NBC finished premiere week in second place, its highest premiere-week rank in nine years (since 2004). NBC's average of 9.7 million viewers is its biggest overall audience for a premiere week in six years (since 2007).
NBC won the week among ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX in every key demographic - adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54.
NBC's "Sunday Night Football" is premiere week's No. 1 primetime telecast in adults 18-49, total viewers, adults 18-34, adults 25-54 and all key adult-male demos. The Monday and Tuesday debuts of "The Voice" tied for No. 1 on those networks in women 18-34 and the Tuesday edition was No. 1 among kids 2-11 (excluding sports pre- and post-game shows).
NBC's top-rated programs of the week in adults 18-49 included: "Sunday Night Football" (No. 1), Monday's "Voice" (No. 4), Tuesday's "Voice" (tied for No. 5), Monday's "The Blacklist" (No. 9), Tuesday's "Chicago Fire" (tied for No. 20) and Wednesday's "Law & Order: SVU" (tied for No. 20). Rankings exclude sports pre- and post-game shows.
NBC'S FIRST MONDAY-TUESDAY WEEK-ONE WINS IN 25 YEARS: NBC won both Monday and Tuesday of premiere week in 18-49 for the first time since 1988.
•NBC's Monday margin of victory (74 percent in 18-49) is the biggest for any net on the Monday of premiere week in the history of people meters (back to September 1987).
•NBC's Tuesday advantage (38 percent in 18-49) is the biggest Tuesday premiere-week win for any net in six years.
FIRST NET IN 19 YEARS TO DELIVER WEEK-ONE MONDAY-THURSDAY GAINS: NBC is the first "Big 4" network in 19 years to deliver gains on each of the first four nights of the new season versus the prior year in both 18-49 and total viewers.
Primetime averages for the week of Sept. 23-29 in adults 18-49 are: NBC, 3.1/9; ABC, 2.3/7; CBS, 2.2/7; FOX, 2.2/7; and CW, 0.3/1. In overall total viewers, the weekly averages were: CBS, 10.4 million; NBC, 9.7 million; ABC, 8.0 million; FOX, 6.0 million; and CW, 0.8 million.
NBC highlights for the week of Sept. 23-29:
Monday: NBC won the opening night of the 2013-14 television season among ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX in all key categories, winning six of six half-hours in 18-49 and total viewers among those nets. NBC led the night among the "Big 4" by a 74 percent margin in 18-49 (4.7 vs. 2.7 for No. 2 CBS), up from a 46 percent margin on premiere Monday last year, for the biggest lead for any network on a premiere-week Monday in the history of people meters. Versus the year-ago night, NBC was up 15 percent to its top-rated premiere-week Monday in six years.
The season premiere of "The Voice" (5.1 rating, 13 share in adults 18-49, 15.0 million viewers overall from 8-10:01 p.m. ET) grew 21 percent in 18-49 rating versus the comparable year-ago debut (4.2/11 on Sept. 10, 2012), and was up 22 percent in total viewers (15.0 million vs. 12.3 million). It was the top "Voice" debut in 18-49 and total viewers since the post-Super Bowl start of the second "Voice" on Feb. 5, 2012.
The debut of "The Blacklist" (3.8/10 in adults 18-49, 12.6 million viewers overall from 10:01-11 p.m. ET) won the hour among ABC, CBS and NBC in every key ratings category, with margins of plus-73 percent versus ABC's "Castle" (3.8 vs. 2.2) and plus-111 percent versus CBS's "Hostages" (3.8 vs. 1.8). "The Blacklist" delivered the highest rating for a 10 p.m. drama in 18-49 on the "Big 4" in the past year (since "Revolution" scored a 4.1 on Sept. 17, 2012). Versus NBC's slot result during premiere week last year, "Blacklist" was up 12 percent (3.8 vs. 3.4 for week two of "Revolution"). In total viewers, "The Blacklist" is up 37 percent or 3.4 million viewers versus what "Revolution" did last year against premiere-week competition (12.6 million vs. 9.2 million).
In "live plus three day" ratings that include time-shifted viewing for three days after the live telecast, the "Blacklist" debut generated growth of nearly 4.4 million viewers or 35 percent over its 12.6 million overall viewership in "live plus same day," growing to 16.9 million persons. The increase of 4.4 million is the single largest L+3 increase for any broadcast program to date, including not only series debuts and season premieres, but all additional telecasts. In adults 18-49, "The Blacklist" grew from "L+SD" to "L+3" by 1.28 rating points or 33 percent in adults 18-49, from a 3.83 rating in L+SD to a 5.11 in L+3.
Tuesday: NBC won the night in 18-49 with a 38 percent margin over No. 2 CBS and ABC, the biggest advantage among the "Big 4" nets on a premiere Tuesday in six years (since 2007). It was NBC's first Tuesday win during premiere week since 2005, as well as NBC's top premiere Tuesday in 18-49 since 2006, and biggest in total viewers since 2002. Versus last year's premiere Tuesday, NBC is up 43 percent in 18-49 (4.0 vs. 2.8) and up 67 percent in total viewers (12.6 million vs. 7.5 million).

It's NBC's best rating in the time period with in-season regular programming since Jan. 11, 2012. "Revolution" beat NBC's premiere-week result in the slot the prior year by 20 percent (1.8 vs. 1.5 for comedies) and topped NBC's slot average for the 2012-13 season by 29 percent (1.8 vs. 1.4, "live plus same day," non-sports).

Hands-on: Mophie's Space Pack brings extra power, storage to iPhone 5/5sMophie, best known for its battery-packing iPhone cases, outed an entirely new class of product at CES that not only charges phones on-the-go, but adds up to 32GB of extra data storage accessible by iPhone or computer.
Dubbed the Space Pack, Mophie's newest case boasts a form factor very similar to its Juice Pack Air. The differences are superficial: a shiny metal power level indicator button replaces the colored plastic version from the Air, while a silkscreened number located inside the case denotes storage capacity.
On the inside, however, Mophie packs in either 16GB or 32GB of flash memory as well as a 1,700mAh battery pack. The case connects to Apple's iPhone 5 or 5s via a removable bottom portion that also serves as the attach point for micro USB data transfer and charging.
"Many people know Mophie as a mobile battery company, but our primary goal is built on the idea of allowing our customers to do more with their mobile devices; to make accessories that are more than just functional and fashionable, but are truly smart accessories," said Mophie's senior director of product development Charlie Quong. "Users that buy a Mophie product can really do more with their phone or tablet. The battery is at the heart of that. Any user that owns a mobile device can't do any thing with it without power."
When connected to a computer, Space Pack is recognized as a mass storage device, much like a digital camera. For iPhone use, Mophie has created an app with hooks in Photos, Mail and other iOS 7 apps.
In the Space Pack app, navigating through files looks the same as flipping through a finder browser. Files are pooled and sorted by type using metadata and can be accessed via the app's gallery, videos, music and documents viewers.
Gallery also supports import/export to the iOS 7 camera roll and there is a sync option to backup an entire library to the Space Pack. The app includes its own camera function for quick snaps, but the UI is not yet finalized.
Video loading is extremely fast and we saw no stuttering or jittering when playing back footage directly from the Space Pack. The app supports the same video codecs as iOS 7, and while unrecognized file types can be saved on the device, they can only be viewed after offloading to a computer.
A music player is also included in-app.
As for file transfer, the app supports AirDrop, AirPlay and text or email attachments. Alternatively, users can simply share files by putting the case on a friend's phone. A security option is in the works to require a passcode both in the app and when accessing Space Pack from a computer.
Finally, the app features battery status gauge and a usage pie chart split into various file types like videos, music and email, all of which can be used with iOS 7's "Open With" function.
"Apps of today are powerful and intensive in terms of the amount of content and data they use or process, and in many cases these apps are vehicles for collecting more data," Quong said. "So no matter what storage size a user starts with, they're going to find themselves in a situation where they can use more. Space Pack solves two of the major pain points that users run into in their daily lives: it gives you more battery power and more storage for the smartphone."
Mophie's Space Pack is slated to launch on Mar. 14 at a price of $149 for the 16GB version and $179 for the 32GB model.

When the news broke that the Eagles had traded Donovan McNabb to the Redskins Sunday night, I opened up a live chat, which lasted 2.5 hours.
Nearly 4,000 of you stopped by to vent, to ask questions, to react.
And there were some themes that kept coming up over and over again.
Now that I've had a chance to sleep on it (for a few hours, at least), here's a little Q&A and reaction to how things went down.
Why would the Eagles trade him to a division rival?
This is the most common (and legitimate) question to come up. Pretty much everyone - fans, media, McNabb's teammates - had the same reaction when they heard the news: The Redskins? Really? That McNabb was dealt was no shocker. That he was dealt to a team the Eagles will face twice a year and a team whose success is directly related to the Eagles' success (and failures) has left people scratching their heads.
So why would they pull the trigger on a deal to the Redskins?
Theory 1: It was the best deal. If this is the case, fine. No complaints. If the Redskins made the best offer for McNabb, and the Eagles were single-minded in their focus to get the best compensation for him, then I think you can reasonably make the case for trading him to Washington.
Theory 2: Andy Reid wanted to do McNabb right. The Eagles' coach said as much during his press conference Sunday night. I just went back and read Reid's chat transcript. He mentioned 11 times that the Eagles wanted to do McNabb right or find a place that was good for Donovan. As I mentioned Sunday, this type of thinking would go against everything we have learned and come to expect from the "all-business" approach of the current Eagles' regime. But then again, McNabb is different than every other player during the Reid era.
Theory 3: McNabb pressured the Eagles into a trade with the Redskins. This is the theory that Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports has mentioned. Cole writes that McNabb would have thrown what would amount to a grown-up version of a tantrum had the Birds tried to deal him to Oakland or Buffalo. Reid refuted such a theory Sunday night, saying McNabb would have played anywhere because that's the kind of professional he is. Reid did say that he sought the opinion of McNabb's agent, Fletcher Smith, before making a deal. But just how much of a say McNabb's camp had in the deal may never be known.
Did the Eagles get enough for McNabb?
This is the question we asked you in an online poll. 58 percent of you said no. 31 percent said yes. And 11 percent said not sure. By the way, who votes 'not sure' in a poll like this? Why even bother voting then? C'mon, people.
Anyway, the deal is for a second-rounder this year (37th overall) and either a third- or a fourth-round pick in 2011. A lot of people were asking last night what the Raiders offered. There's no way that Oakland offered their first-round pick, or the Eagles would have had to make that deal. Did the Raiders off their second-rounder? Keep in mind that Oakland's second rounder is actually worse (39th overall) than Washington's. What's unclear is what else the Raiders might have offered. A higher second pick? A player? We just don't know.
Overall, I think the Eagles got just about what I thought they'd get when Reid made it clear last week that they were listening to offers. Now, if the team had decided right after the season that it was going to deal McNabb and aggressively listened to offers from teams that have since filled their QB needs, maybe the compensation would have been greater.
Will the Eagles move up in the draft?
They now have seven picks in the first four rounds, including three of the first 55 and five of the first 87 overall picks. They absolutely could look to trade up in the first round if there is a player available who they covet. They've shown in the past that they're not afraid to make such a move. There are still plenty of holes on defense that need filling. If the Eagles target a player who they deem valuable (think CB or DE), it would not surprise me at all if they made a move. And then there's the option that I know many of you love: Trading picks for more picks next year.
By the way, SI.com's Peter King had an interesting nugget this morning on the topic of the draft:
I have heard the Eagles will now focus on [Tim] Tebow and are likely to join the parade of teams working him out and spending time with him.
Wouldn't that be something...
Is Kevin Kolb ready?
That is the question. And that is really why this deal was made. The Eagles' coaching staff thinks he is. I will say this. If ever there were a situation for a young quarterback to succeed, this is it. Think about it. In year one, he sat and watched. In year two, he continued to learn and got a taste of what playing in the league was like, most notably in the second half against Baltimore. And in year three, he got a pair of starts under his belt - one against the eventual Super Bowl champs.
The Eagles are loaded with pass-catchers at wide receiver and tight end. They've got a decent mix in the backfield. And they are young everywhere. These guys will grow together.
Will there be growing pains? Absolutely. But I expect Kolb to have success. The situation just points in that direction.
Will McNabb have success in Washington?
Many of you pointed to the fact that the Redskins have a bad offensive line, saying McNabb is doomed to fail there. I would argue the other side. McNabb's biggest strength is, and really always has been, his ability to do more with less. His ability to win with bad wide receivers. His ability to escape pressure and make moves on the run.
Is he the athlete he was 10 years ago? Of course not. But he can still fight pressure, avoid sacks, buy time and find playmakers down the field. If I'm a Redskins fan, that's what I'm most excited about today.
He's always played with some type of chip on his shoulder, and that will of course continue now. Think about it. If you're a Redskins assistant, you're definitely reminding McNabb that the Eagles thought so much of him that they had no fear in trading him to a division rival, right?
A friend of mine in D.C. says the Redskins' fan base is pretty split on the move. I told him he should be excited. The expectations are lower there, and the team hasn't had a quarterback in years. If McNabb takes them to the playoffs in the next two years, the fan base will be thrilled. It's not like here where it was Super Bowl or bust.
As my buddy C-Nast pointed out, McNabb is gone, but the debate will rage on for years. The first time McNabb puts on a Redskins uniform. The first time Washington wins back-to-back games. The first time Kolb throws a game-ending interception. We'll be talking. And you really wouldn't expect the McNabb story to end any other way.

CIRCUS is all about fashion. Bloggers from all over the world worked exclusively for CIRCUS Fashion. They took a look at the hidden stories of the fashion world – far away from top model shows, beauty tips and brandmania. You'll read about a man with a wool fetish and a blind woman with great sense of style, see toddling beauty queens and a girl with a beard, and dream about the ancient dresses from Kihnu island or the garments of the future. Explore the world of fashion with them and find so much more.
When designing the app we focused on making your reading-time about reading, not pushing buttons. And we came up with a few concepts for a better reading experience:
endless scroll
Books have pages. Screens do not. Why do iPad magazines still use a page based concept? Users very well understand that their devices are not made of paper. That's why we publish a pageless magazine: CIRCUS for iPad has a single column layout that makes use of the infinite vertical space.
one-button navigation
Why overloading an app for reading with features? You have to spend valuable time to understand how to use them only to find out that you don't need them at all.
dynamic bookmarking
It works like magic: The app automatically remembers where you stopped reading your articles. If you access the article later you can continue at just the right spot.
ad free, pure magazine reading experience
In CIRCUS we don't tell you what to wear and how to look. Instead we take a step back and consider fashion from a new direction: from the consumers to the producers. And we don't want to spoil it for you by including ads. If you want to look at pictures we have a number of photo editorials in the app.
Our »ruler« is a reading help that's both simple and innovative. Try it.
award-winning photo editorials, illustration and design
Images and texts are distributed evenly in CIRCUS. Along with their aesthetic and entertaining quality, photo editorials are equally as informative. The Bookazine was awarded with an Art Director's Club Award for its editorial design and received a Lead Award in the category »Newcomer of the Year«.
crowd-sourced high-quality text
No, we didn't just copy and paste »the Internet«. Bloggers from all over the world produced high class journalistic content exclusively for CIRCUS. They incorporate their diverse cultural influences into their texts, photos and illustrations and give their own perspective on the industry.
