Honorary degree awarded to World War II internee
23, 2009 -- The
California State University Board of Trustees has voted to grant honorary
bachelor's degrees to Japanese Americans who were enrolled at CSU campuses
and forced to internment camps during World War II. Today, the first
honorary degree was awarded posthumously to Aiko Nishi Uwate, a Japanese
American woman who studied music at SF State before being sent to Gila
River relocation camp in Arizona. At a ceremony in Long Beach, the degree
was accepted by Uwate's daughter, Vivian Uwate Nelson.
Aiko Nishi Uwate was one of 19 SF State students of Japanese ancestry who were pulled from their classes under U.S. military and government orders and forced to live in internment camps during World War II. SF State recognized these students as honored alumni at the campus' 1998 commencement exercises and in 2002 the campus opened a Garden of Remembrance to honor all Japanese Americans who were interned during World War II.
The CSU is asking for public assistance in identifying individuals who qualify for the honorary degree. Former CSU students (or families of students) whose studies were interrupted due to the internment can call (562) 951-4723 or e-mail email@example.com.

Giuliani said, "We don't have any substantial amount of hope we can offer anyone that we will find anyone alive."
"We have to prepare people for that overwhelming reality."
One week after the worst terrorist attacks in U.S. history, there were 218 confirmed dead and 5,422 missing in New York alone. The mayor said the identified dead included 32 New York firefighters, two emergency service medical personnel, two Port Authority police officers and one New Jersey firefighter.
Discouraged firefighters and construction workers continue to search the ruble without plans to stop. They have found only five survivors, none since Wednesday.
Seven World Trade Center buildings are either collapsed or semi-collapsed.
New York observed two minutes of silence at 8:48 a.m. this morning, the exact moment when the first jetliner crashed into the trade center one week ago.
The Environmental Protection Agency today said air quality near the site did not contain hazardous substances. There are fires near a stockpile of Freon beneath the towers, but no leaks have been detected. The EPA said there is some dust in the area with slightly elevated asbestos levels.
U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan paid a visit to the World Trade Center disaster site, saying that 62 countries had lost people and "this was why no one can remain indifferent."

Harris was accompanied to the ceremony by his partner David Burtka and introduced by his "How I Met Your Mother" co-star Jason Segel, who jokingly said of the former child actor, "Neil has been entertaining us ... for over 60 years."
The "Smurfs" actor's star is located outside dive bar the Frolic Room, a convenience that he made sure to capitalize on.
"As much of an honor as this is, unfortunately, it won't be the first time I've been plastered on the sidewalk in front of the Frolic Room," he joked. "And yes, that includes right now. Happy hour starts early in there."

The long term objective of this research is to understand the biophysical mechanisms by which time-varying sensory stimuli are integrated in individual neurons. The immediate goal is to provide detailed biophysical explanations of how individual neurons multiply two inputs and how they implement invariance to certain stimulus attributes. Multiplication has been implicated in many neural computations, like the extraction of motion information from visual images, in both vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems. Invariance is an attribute commonly found in higher order neurons that respond selectively to a stimulus feature independently of its context. Currently, there is little understanding of how these computations are accomplished by neurons. These issues will be investigated in the visual system of the locust, which possesses a neuron, the lobula giant movement detector (LGMD), that responds to objects looming on a collision course towards the animal. This neuron implements a multiplication operation between two distinct inputs impinging on its dendrites and exhibits responses that are invariant to many attributes of the looming object. Many features of the LGMD make it a favorable subject for biophysical studies.
The specific aims of the project are to characterize the properties of synaptic inputs onto the LGMD, including the role played by background synaptic activity in shaping its responses to looming stimuli. In addition, the basic properties of several active membrane conductances and their role in the integration of synaptic inputs within the dendritic tree of the cell will be studied. The spatio-temporal activation pattern of the LGMD's dendritic compartments during visual stimulation will also be assessed. These data will be used to build a model of the cell and its response to looming stimuli. The techniques employed will include stimulation of single facets on the compound eye of the locust - thus allowing to decompose complex visual stimuli in their elementary components - intracellular recordings, pharmacological manipulations, calcium imaging and compartmental modeling. The model and experimental data will be used to identify the biophysical mechanisms underlying multiplication and invariance in this neuron. Because very similar computations are found in vertebrate central nervous systems, this project is expected to advance the general understanding of how multiplication and invariance are implemented for neural information processing. Notably, multiplication and invariance have been shown to play an important role in visual perception and attention. Thus, characterizing the biophysical and cellular mechanisms of multiplication and invariance in this model system may also yield important insights in disorders involving perception and attention.

One of Jim Cramer's resolutions for 2015: no longer suggesting that Twitter CEO Dick Costolo be booted immediately.
"I'm done. I've made this resolution that I'm going to be much kinder about Costolo, and he can stay," Cramer said on "Squawk on the Street" on Monday.
However, his support is contingent on Twitter monetizing its service. He cited SunTrust analyst Robert Peck recent research, saying Peck's calls on Twitter have proven trustworthy in the past.
Peck believes the microblogging service could accelerate growth in monthly average users as it introduces more "'business development' type deals with deeper integration into top apps." He also sees Twitter supplying targeted native advertisements.
"The culmination of these deals this year could create Twitter's 'Facebook Moment,'" Peck wrote, referring to the point during the summer of 2013 when investors turned positive on Facebook, sending its shares higher.

Here in Portland, Oregon local ILAB dealers Elisabeth Burdon, Nat Des Marais, and Charles Seluzicki present a display and sale of antiquarian books and ephemera to highlight the cultural heritage of the book. Recognizing the important place that books hold in the dissemination of knowledge, they continue the work of their colleagues around the world to fill a "virtual bookcase" as participants and visitors donate money to buy books for schools in South Sudan.
To make the event authentically "Portland," - the home of "more breweries (and bookshops) than any other city on earth," - they are gathering at a brew pub, the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne Boulevard, a short walk over the Hawthorne Bridge from downtown Portland. Whether you think of this beautiful city on the Willamette River as Book City, Bridge City or Beer City, Portlanders are mixing fun with the serious purpose of the international community of booksellers of promoting literacy around the world.

Jamestown girls
The Jamestown varsity girls basketball team traveled to Higbee Dec. 17, where the Lady Eagles defeated the Lady Tigers 44-40.
"We really struggled to find a rhythm, especially offensively," Jamestown Coach E.H. Hirschvogel said. "But the girls kept scrapping and clawing and eventually got something put together late in the fourth quarter. Any win on the road is a good win, and as tough as Higbee was tonight, we'll take it."

Lt. Governor Newsom outlines zero-tolerance plan of action to counter spike in racism and bullying at California schools
Newsom extends drive to protect California students at every level in wake of presidential campaign
SAN FRANCISCO - California Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom today called on the state's county superintendents of education to act immediately and counter the uptick in racism, hate and bullying reported in California and nationwide, in the wake of the presidential campaign. Joined by school leaders at Burton High School earlier in San Francisco, Lt. Governor Newsom led a conversation with students charting their experiences and the actions needed to prevent the tide of divisive behavior from becoming normalized.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has now collected more than 700 allegations of election-related intimidation and harassment nationwide between November 9 and November 16, with nearly forty-percent of all incidences occurring in educational settings at K-12 schools, universities and colleges. There were more reported incidences in California - more than eighty - than any other state, including the widely reported racist graffiti in a bathroom at a high school in Danville, CA.
In a letter to all fifty-eight county superintendents of education, Lt. Governor Newsom called for a "moral wall" and wrote, "My wife and I struggled with how to explain the hateful rhetoric spewed during the campaign to our four young children. Like so many parents across the nation, we reinforced the values of empathy, compassion and kindness. Now, more than ever, it is incumbent upon us to translate those values into concrete action to protect California's children. We must establish a zero-tolerance policy for hate in our schools."
With no statewide hotline and a disparate array of resources and plans at a local level, Lt. Governor Newsom requested counties to create a clearinghouse to report incidents of racism and bullying, and to ensure concrete plans are being developed in partnership with teachers and administrators in counties where no such programs are established. The Lt. Governor also reinforced the need to measure school climate as one of the four local indicators within the new school accountability system that replaces the Academic Performance Index.
Last week, Lt. Governor Newsom urged the University of California, California State University and California Community Colleges to review protocols that would shield the personal data of undocumented students from potential abuse by the federal government. Today's letter requested counties to extend those reviews into local school districts.
School leaders joining Lt. Governor Newsom today at Burton High School included Interim SFUSD Superintendent Myong Leigh, San Francisco Board of Education commissioners Matt Haney, Shamann Walton, and Hydra Mendoza-McDonnell.
Lt. Governor Newsom's letters to the leaders of the UC, CSU, and Community Colleges are posted here.

I wanted to make a joke about being "bloggy-promiscuous" here, but really. I think that's probably inappropriate. I'm not sure of the level of inappropriate, but it is probably somewhere above my average don't-write-that level.
"Internet nerd" is a good enough title I guess, but it lacks zing.
But here's the thing. I've got some fun writing stuff going on this month all over the internet, so I wanted to make sure you knew about it.
First of all, my sweet friend [and writing mentor] Denise Hildreth asked me to guest post for her this month on her singles blog- Flying Solo. So everyday this month, I will be writing about how to find community and the importance of community when you are single.
So I think you should subscribe cause otherwise you are going to get SO sick of clicking over from my blog. 🙂 Also. I write about my friends, interview a single girl in NYC, and talk honestly about being single ALL THE LIVELONG MONTH. Get ready.
Here are the first two posts:
I'm reluctant to link to this next piece I've written, mainly because it is so raw and honest that I almost wish I would not have published it. If you're a writer or a blogger, you probably know exactly what I mean. I cried like a baby when this post was complete. But I'm going to link you to it because I am so proud to be a part of SheSeeks, I want to give you the opportunity to read it.
But seriously, no pressure. 🙂christianity.com as well. So. That's kinda crazy.]
I head back to Nashville today. I have tons of bottled water and a sad heart. The river, I hear, is slowly receding. And the people are being beyond beautiful about the whole thing.
Some Nashville links:
That's enough for you today. Thanks for your love and support to Nashville. Don't stop.
On a lighter note, I painted my fingernails Shrek green. And I love it.
I just read the incourage post and really don't even know what to say except I admire your honesty, It was beautiful and raw and touching.
I'm praying for everyone in Nashville. I've been looking for a way to donate from Illinois, thanks for posting the link to your church!
I had already read your She seeks post and loved it to tears! I understand and appreciated your honesty and pain. I have 3 daughters so it wasn't about connecting on that level, but that I too have worries and fears and a picture of how I exactly can see a certain thing in my life and yet it's not happening, and it hurts. I prayed for you and for me that we would feel the peace of His plan and His timing!
Blogmiscuous has a nice ring to it, yet still slighty inappropriate.
Praying you Nashvillians. I have several family members and friends there and one who is pregnant and about to pop any minute so I'm praying hard for safety for them and everyone else affected. I love how God is showing the world the true meaning of servanthood and community love there though.
Way to go Annie!!! I am totally putting Flyong Solo in my reader
I subscribed to Flying Solo and can totally relate to your She Seeks post. I turned 30 in October and thought I was doing well, super excited about my life, my job, and my family. However, in September I just had a breakdown. My younger (married) sister had a baby in June and I was so excited to be an aunt, but it was much harder emotionally than I expected. A friend found out she was pregnant with her third after months of trying and I cried when she told me. I felt like there were babies all around and NO ONE could believe that I was happy being single and 30…
I'm doing much better now and realize that just because my life at 30 isn't at all what I expected it to look like, it's okay. I still struggle at times, and am sure there are struggles ahead, but I am blessed to have so many wonderful people on this journey with me…and am thankful to have found your blog 🙂
Praying for you and everyone in Nashville…I was visiting there just a week before the flooding and the photos are heartbreaking.
about that lighter note… good thing we match…again.
That first one? So. stinkin. proud. of. you. Your level of transparency is is reaching epic proportions, girlie girl.
You cried when you wrote it; I cried when I read it. Seems fair.
Sometimes I fear that you're in my head or reading my imaginary diary. Or maybe it's because no one is ever actually unique to a situation- no matter how alone you may feel in that moment.
i miss you.
that is all.
and i read your mother's day post. i love you.

If you are overwhelmed by new student loan debt, you are not alone. According to a recent report, 71% of the class of 2012, or 1.3 million of the year's college graduates, funded their education with federal or private loans. The average amount of debt per student was $29,400, up 25% from $23,450 in 2008.1 To put this into perspective, the average starting annual salary for new graduates in 2012 was $44,500. 2
Paying off these loans is often a challenge for graduates. Beyond the burden of an approximate $340 per month payment, assuming a ten-year repayment schedule, the high level of debt can derail long- and short-term financial goals. A study by the organization Young Invincibles found that 15% of recent college graduates who had student loan debt were denied a mortgage and 21% were denied an automobile loan. Further, 47% stated that they postponed buying a house, 35% postponed starting a family, and a staggering 76% were limited in the amount they could save for the future. 3
Strategies to Start the Repayment Process
Repaying student loan debt does not have to be onerous. Long-held budgeting strategies such as managing everyday expenses and limiting purchases by credit card can be effective means to finding the cash to put toward student loan payments. Additionally, borrowers have other options depending upon the type of loan they hold.
Graduates who took out federal loans--which represented 80% of total student debt dollars in 20124--have myriad options and protections at their disposal. Among these are the following:
- Standard repayment, whereby loans are repaid in equal amounts over a pre-stated period, generally 10 years. This is typically the default plan if another option is not selected.
- Graduated repayments, which start out lower than the standard option and increase gradually so that the loan can be paid off in 10 years.
- Income-based repayment, which is available to borrowers who can demonstrate a partial financial hardship. Typically, repayments are capped at 15% of income and repayments can extend to 25 years.
- Income-contingent repayment, which also requires a partial financial hardship, and repayment amounts are a function of adjusted gross income, family size and discretionary income.
Graduates who used a private lender may consider negotiating a lower interest rate. However, research shows that only one in four borrowers who ask for a lower rate is successful in obtaining it. 5
What if I Default?
There can be serious consequences should a borrower decide to not repay, or stop repaying, a student loan. Defaulting on a student loan can result in low credit scores that can affect the ability to obtain a future loan or employment. More significantly, student loan debt might not be forgiven in bankruptcy proceedings under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005.
Borrowers who have difficulty repaying a loan may look into some of the hardship-based repayment programs described above. Additionally, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program might apply to individuals who work in certain industries, including public education, law enforcement or non-profit organizations.
However, some loans contain a provision that will put the loan in automatic default if a co-signer dies or files for bankruptcy. When this is triggered, borrowers must pay the entire loan balance to avoid default. Staying on top of the particulars of your loan agreement is, therefore, imperative.
If you are facing a mountain of student debt, let me help you sort out your options and plan for the future.

MURAD Age Reform® AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser Review, Photos and Swatch
Hello beautiful people!
I am extremely excited to write my first product review and out of a long list of products eligible for review, I picked out the one which is the most important part of my skincare routine. MURAD Age Reform® AHA/BHA Exfoliating cleanser is not your average exfoliating cleanser. Apart from exfoliation, it claims to 'reverse visible signs of aging to reveal younger looking skin'.
This product comes in a transparent plastic tube with a round flip top cap. The standard size tube is 6.75 FL.OZ./ 200 ml. The packaging is good but the product leaks out and gets collected on the inside of the cap. To keep it hygienic, I have to keep cleaning the inside and the mouth of the cap.
The cleanser consists of three kinds of exfoliating acids- Salicyclic, Lactic and Glycolic acid. It also consists of micro Jojoba beads that gently massage your skin to eliminate impurities, dirt and dead skin to reveal a smoother, softer and younger looking skin. Salicyclic acid has chemical properties to break dead skin cells, unclogging pores, prevent acne etc. Lactic acid has good anti-bacterial properties and helps hold moisture. Glycolic acid helps improve skin appearance by reducing wrinkles, acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
In My Opinion:
My skincare is incomplete without this product. I have used many exfoliating cleansers before but none compares to this amazing product. This cleanser was suggested by a salesperson in the skincare section of Sephora and I am so glad I took her suggestion and bought it. The first time I used it, I could see instant difference in my skin. It felt smoother, clearer and fresh. It is gentle on your skin and rejuvenates it instantly. It is like getting a mini facial. I never felt my skin become so soft and smooth using a cleanser. You just need a small quantity on a dampened face to exfoliate. As exfoliation is an essential step before applying any kind of makeup on your face, this product does wonders for me. My foundation applies smoothly without any dry patches showing up.
This is my first tube and have had it for 3 months and the company recommended usage is 2-3 times a week but I use it every alternate day. Even after using more than recommended usage, you can see I still have enough quantity for it to last another 3 months. This product retails at $35, which, is pricey for a cleanser but since it lasts you so long and has such amazing qualities to improve your skin, I think it is worth the money. I would certainly recommend that you give this cleanser a try and experience the difference yourself.
Rating: 4.5/5
(-0.5 for high price and the mess created in the flip top cap)
Disclaimer: I own this product and have written this review based on my own experience. I am not being paid in any shape or form for this review.

For being upper bucks, Pizza is actually surprisingly good. The owner is friendly and orders are ready when they say they will be.
This little pizza place in the heart of Milford, NJ is what I call old school. It has some really great pizza and all of Pipolo's meals are great.
More of a 3.5, not a 4 by any means. The stromboli was delish, but the tuna salad on top of lettuce ...lame on the amount of tuna given, and was average taste. Would try this place again though.
Always good pizza. Staff friendly. Dean place. Went a couple times in October and the kids loved the Halloween decorations and animated ghouls!
Visited here while passing through Milford. Good place, clean with pretty good food. Nice friendly staff and good service. Not somewhere i'd go out of my way to visit, but definitely a good place to eat if you are in the area.
The owner is always on site and will make thin crust if requested. I enjoy the thin crust pepperoni well done.
Pipolo's is a friendly, informal, no frills local place. The pizza is not neapolitan, brick oven fired, or "gourmet." It is, however, very good. We also like the sandwiches and pasta dishes. There is seating for about 20 people, with a relatively open kitchen, and...More
Surprisingly good pasta dishes, and reasonably priced. Eat in or take out. Conveniently located on Bridge Street in Milford. I haven't yet tried the pizza.
Super pizza! Loved the hawaiian! Cute local place. Would definitely return. Walking distance to the Inn, as most things in the little tiny town of Milford are!
We actually go take out from this restaurant. We were tired and wanted to spend a romantic evening in. This was within walking distance we called in our order it was ready fast, we were able to walk over and pick it up and the...More

goodbye wednesday
i'll miss that mindy and tina, the mean girls, actually started showing small signs of friendship with offers of chips and candy even if it was done by yelling across the room in chinese during the movie. i'll miss nicole and jane's sweet notes during QAs. i'll miss joyce 1 and joyce 2 even though i never learned which was which.
i'll miss how aaron even said 'i don't know' in chinese and how justin was a jerk in front of the class but really sweet one on one. i'll miss harrison's grandma who gave me a ride when i was new. i'll miss ben and how everyone picks on him just for being the smallest.
jane gave me a present! it was wrapped with shiny pink and silver wrapping paper that said 'i will miss you' all over it.
and hooray for sweet notes. they make the world go 'round and jane was my favorite so it really means something extra special.
p.s. wouldn't you try to marry a taiwanese person just for these wedding photos? the next 5 minutes will be the highlight of your day, seriously. look how lovely my coteacher is!

a majority of tw wedding photos are very tacky. one thing that tw don't realize is how bad a a white tux on a guy doesn't work in photos, it's because when standing beside the bride, the white on white has no definition and really ends up looking like a white blob.

i love how theyre tacky but everyone does them so it's just become normal. i posted that picture on facebook and my american friends think it's crazy, but it really looks normal to me. i wish i had remembered to take them before i left! that would be so much fun.

I tear up every time I think about you leaving your new friends and students. I remember when you were in 6th grade and we had just moved to Texas from Arizona. You were feeling badly about starting over in a new place and I reminded you that you had made great friends in California and then again easily in Flagstaff. Knowing you would master it a third time, I asked who among your AZ childhood friends would you have NOT wanted to have met (assuming we never moved from CA.) Of course you said that you wouldn't want to give any of them up. You understood that moving had expanded your circle to include more terrific people and experiences. And now here you are again- leaving Taiwan- with yet another ring of friendships. It makes me cry...you have come a long long way in the past year and have embraced many live lessons. It is a pleasure to watch you expand.
i love you

You can do your family pictures just like that one. My family did that and we all wear fancy dress and make-ups.

Kids. Some don't like shooting kids, but I do. They are so honest. And if you have a little bit of time to hang out with them, they soon forget the photography part, and just let go and do their thing. And that's how I like to shoot. As an observer. We often don't have that kind of time at work, and actually I didn't spend much time with them this time either. But sometimes it's enough. At least for a simple newspaper story with couple of pictures.

If you're like most opera fans—you started listening to opera after World War I—you may be less familiar with the works of the Frenchman, Jules Massenet. Peter van de Graaff, one of WFMT's biggest authorities on all things opera means to change that.
On Tuesday, in a special Fine Arts Circle membership drive broadcast, Peter sits down for a live show with Suzanne Nance to cook up a luscious feast of music by Massenet. The broadcast begins at 8:00 pm. Special thank you gifts await your call.
Here's a little Massenet Q and A with Peter van de Graaff:
Most people don't know the operas of Massenet. Are you a particular fan? Which works?
Massenet was, along with Bizet and Gounod, the great French opera composer of the late 19th century. I consider him one of my two or three favorite opera composers.
Did Massenet write ballet music in his operas?
The best known ballet music comes from Le Cid, but many of his operas have some ballet music, as that was a requirement for anything performed at the Opéra in Paris.
People know the meditation from Thaïs from all the arrangements. What is that piece about? Was it originally sung?
There is an off-stage chorus with it. It is an interlude meant to depict the conversion of the courtesan Thaïs to Christianity.
What sort of stories was he drawn to?
There always has to be something absolutely compelling about the women in Massenet's operas. All of the other characters are appendages to what they go through (with the exception of the all-male opera Le jongleur de Notre Dame).
Has Massenet been widely recorded by the great singers? Favorites?
Yes—many, many great artists, primarily from the "golden age" of singing recorded Massenet arias. He went through a period of neglect between about WWI and only the last decade. He was considered old-fashioned and too "pretty", but audiences, artists and companies are now realizing his genius and the power of his operas. Renée Fleming is the artist who, it seems to me, has the perfect Massenet voice with richness and expressivity.


text: Because a lot of older NICs were apparently unable to handle 32k UDP datagrams (i.e. a quick succession of packets), I set the default read and write size back to 8k. This value can be overridden in <machine/param.h> or a config file. For the i386, I set it to 32k. I know that some old ISA cards might have trouble with this, but that problem has always existed, even for 8k, and setting the value to the lowest common denominator would land us at a value of about 2k, which gives horrible performance (the bump from 8k to 32k can make a 30% difference in throughput). And, for those cases, a mount parameter change or a kernel option override will work just fine. Anyway.. what would really be useful is to have interfaces export their receive buffer size, so that upper layers can do something useful with that value. Limit the rsize and wsize in the case of NFS. Would it be a good idea to add such information to the if_data structure? - Frank -- Frank van der Linden email@example.com ====================================================================== Quality NetBSD CDs, Support & Service. http://www.wasabisystems.com/

Ottawa, Ontario Lights In A Triangular Formation
Date: May 6, 2006
Time: 9:00- 9:15 p.m.
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of objects: 3
Shape of objects: Roundish, 3 lights the colour orange pink, no blinking, no sound.
Full Description of event/sighting: My husband spotted them from inside our house. Three lights. Two in front and one behind making somewhat of a triangle. We didn't see any connecting lines.
They were orange pinkish in colour, (they reminded me of the highway lighting) quite bright and fairly large and round. We both wear glasses so lights may not look quite round to us. There weren't any blinking lights, nor red, nor green nor white. No resemblance to airplanes and jets at night, or even helicopters. They travelled from the NW to SE at a good speed and as they got further away they disappeared one by one. We couldn't hear any sounds from them like we can with other aircraft that we frequently hear.
My husband thinks it was a satellite with the reflection of the moon or sun. It was a clear night with no clouds and the moon was towards the west. it happened about 1 hour after sundown. I found it very strange and eerie and very much of a coincidence with other recent reports just last month just west of Ottawa and with the same light colour description.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

Theverge: When Google and Samsung announced the Galaxy Nexus late last year, its greatness in the Android landscape was difficult to dispute: Ice Cream Sandwich was a fantastic update, and the Galaxy Nexus was the only device to run it for a long time.But what about now? HTC, Samsung, and LG have come to the table with newer, empirically better hardware running Android 4.0 in the months since. Is the Nexus phone's early update to Jelly Bean enough to keep it at the top of the heap? Vlad and Chris sound off.
i have one and the camera sucks and so does the screen the definition is good but its not as bright as my iphone 4
For the best, complete Android experience? YES. It is. Who has Jellybean?
I dunno if it's the best but I sure as hell like using it. Am really looking forward to jellybean launching later in the month and will be picking up the Nexus 7 purely based on my experience with the phone.

Review: Tyger Tyger by Kersten Hamilton
by Kersten Hamilton
YA Fantasy
322 pages
published: 2010
5 of 5 stars
Teagan Wylltson's best friend, Abby, dreams that horrifying creatures--goblins, shape-shifters, and beings of unearthly beauty but terrible cruelty--are hunting Teagan. Abby is always coming up with crazy stuff, though, so Teagan isn't worried. Her life isn't in danger. In fact, it's perfect. She's on track for a college scholarship. She has a great job. She's focused on school, work, and her future. No boys, no heartaches, no problems.
Until Finn Mac Cumhaill arrives. Finn's a bit on the unearthly beautiful side himself. He has a killer accent and a knee-weakening smile. And either he's crazy or he's been haunting Abby's dreams, because he's talking about goblins, too . . . and about being The Mac Cumhaill, born to fight all goblin-kind. Finn knows a thing or two about fighting. Which is a very good thing, because this time, Abby's right. The goblins are coming. - from Goodreads
I love the name Finn. It's on my list. And here is another Finn to drool over. You want adjectives? Here you go: brave, strong, self-assured, kind, 'feral,' clever, handsome. But he gets knocked down a peg or two...we wouldn't want anybody too flawless.
But really, this a book review, not a Finn review. I loved the whole book. I loved all the secondary characters. This book made me laugh out loud. (I'm not really a laugh-out-loud-er. I takes a lot.) The dialogue was so witty and real to me. I would read a scene and then immediately read it again, out loud to whoever would listen. I loved the myths and history. I loved the gruesome and scary. I loved the magic and plot twists. There is heartache. There is romance. There is dumpster diving, goblin maggots, music, darkness, and hope. This book is not a wimp. Like a friend said to me, I'm just mad I'm NOT a goblin.
Setting fantasy in our world is a hard thing to do right. Sometimes I won't even read a book once I find out it fits into that category. BUT, when it is done right it rocks. Many of my favorites follow this pattern. And for me, Tyger Tyger is done right. I want the next book yesterday.

Introduce the overall situation(technology advances, theoretical reasons, industry needs, etc.) leading to the problem to be solved. A few paragraphs are sufficient.
State the problem clearly and concisely. List the criteria for solutions and key goals to be achieved in solving the problem. Use a numbered list format for easy reference in subsequent sections.
Review of recent (within the last 5 years) works on solving this problem. Referring to the list in section 2, discuss how these previous techniques work and what are their technical strengths and shortcomings. Do not disparage other people's work just to make your work look good: your work is good only when it solves the problem. Be fair in criticism and support your views with technical reasons, not personal opinions.
Present an in-depth discussion of the theoretical aspects of your proposed approach. Use fundamental theory (EE, Math, Physics, etc.), circuit design, circuit analysis, algorithms, etc. Analyze the efficiency of your approach after the presentation, again using theoretical analysis. Theoretical results may be plotted or illustrated by figures and / or tables for later comparison with simulated and experimental results. Analyze the complexity, overhead, cost, etc. of your approach. This is the most important part of the paper. All approaches must be theoretically solid and justifiable. Trial-and-error and lucky good guesses are not acceptable.
Simulate your approach using CAD tools such as Matlab (behavioral), Spice (circuit level), Verilog (logic level and timing analysis), etc. Generate figures and / or tables of results and compare with the theoretical results in section 4.1 to support the theoretical analysis. Discuss agreements and discrepancies. Choose realistic case studies, not just those that your approach happens to work well with. Do not choose "toy" problems as case studies. For example, an 8-bit ADC is a valid case study, a 3-bit ADC is "toy." Some conferences accept papers with simulation results but others demand more (see section 4.3).
Use subsections if necessary if you have a few case studies.
Present experimental results from real ICs, boards, circuits, etc. In analog and mixed-signal test and design-for-test, "experimental data" refers to real circuit and board data, not to "simulated" data. Simulation alone is not sufficient to support your theory since simulation is not accurate and does not include many real-life effects. High-quality conferences and journals demand experimental results before publications. Plan the experiment well in advance since it takes at least one year to get real test data from ICs and board from the time the design begins.
* All Ph.D. theses and journal papers must include experimental data *
Compare experimental results in figures / tables with simulated results (section 4.2) and theoretical predictions (section 4.1). Discuss agreements and discrepancies.
Use subsections if necessary if you have a few case studies or if you want to present the design and test procedure for the IC/ board case study in a systematic manner.
Compare honestly your work with previous works reviewed in section 3, using the list of goals / criteria established in section 2. Discuss where your solution is better, where it is weaker, etc. Use a table with criteria as column headings and solution methods (others and yours) as row headings to show tradeoffs. Use figures to illustrate differences in solutions. Check to make sure that your approach actually solves the problem posed in section 2.
No work is perfect. Discuss honestly the limitations of your proposed approach. Limitations may be theoretical or experimental or practical (e.g. manufacturing cost increasing too fast with circuit complexity, etc.). Is it possible to overcome some limitations while others are totally unavoidable?
Summarize the problem and your proposed approach, with its strong and weak points. A short paragraph is sufficient.
Acknowledge sponsorship (NSF, SRC, specific companies for chip fabrication, etc.) and technical discussions with other colleagues, if any.
List appropriate works referred to in the paper. Use recent works (in the last 5 years).

LSU's dream season ended abruptly Tuesday afternoon as the Tigers' stagnant bats failed to get the job done for the second straight game.
Three of the Purple and Gold's best batters - Alex Bregman, Raph Rhymes, and Christian Ibarra - went a combined 0-for-24 in Omaha.
For Rhymes, his 0-for-9 batting slump marks the end of his time as an LSU Tiger.
It's a tough pill to swallow for the Monroe native and his coach.
"I just feel bad for him... he's going to blame himself and he can't do that," said head coach Paul Mainieri as he choked back tears.
The Tigers now say goodbye to eight seniors in all and likely a few juniors as well, since Ryan Eades and Jacoby Jones are almost surely headed to the MLB after being drafted in the second and third rounds. Juniors Will LaMarche, Nick Rumbelow, and Ty Ross could also be headed to the pros.
The remaining Tigers are left to sort through their emotions and gear up for next year, which won't be easy according to Mainieri: "Initially the hurt and the disappointment is going to be immense but as time goes on, we will reflect on our season. You can't judge a season simply on what we did in two games when we've had such a remarkable year over 66 games. The championship we strive for at LSU is this one, and we came up short and we'll live with that... It's very difficult to put it into words, quite frankly, because right now the sting of knowing that this season has come to an end, a special season, and the finality of it all... Right up until the last pitch, you feel like you're going to find a way to win, and then it doesn't happen."
Here's who definitely will be back in Baton Rouge next season: freshman phenom Alex Bregman and sophomore pitching ace Aaron Nola. Both hauled in numerous awards this season on both the conference and national levels.
Expect Ibarra to be back in the infield with Bregman, since he was only drafted in the 32nd round. Another season will give the junior from California a strong chance at improving his stock.
This is only the 4th time LSU has played in the College World Series and come home empty-handed.
Mainieri is now 6-5 in 3 World Series appearances. He won the whole thing in 2009.
It's not the accolade that mattered most to the Tigers, but their 57 wins this season ties both the LSU and SEC high for victories.

While we wouldn't suggest you visit a biker bar while dressed like a storm trooper, this new line of Star Wars motorcycle apparel makes such an adventure a far more realistic possibility.
Created by UD Replicas, the officially licensed Star Wars motorcycle gear is more than just a statement of your loyalty to the Empire — it's also high-grade protective apparel that comes with CE-approved body armor and other legitimate safety features. Sold individually as a jacket, pants, gloves, and boots (sorry, no helmet… yet), the gear is available in classic Storm Trooper white or "Shadow Trooper" black.
Here are some of the other features of the gear:
Raised rib detailing on the sleeves, shoulders, legs, torso and midsection perfectly replicating the look of rigid armor.
Adjustable forearms, biceps, thighs and shin leather armor allow for a personalized 'custom' body fit.
Waist belt is part of the jacket and not removable. Cleverly hidden is the main front zipper which has 3 main access points providing function, while allowing the main torso armor to be uncompromised and true to what was seen on screen.
Snap buttons on the cuffs and wrist zippers.
Jacket and Pants zip together at the waist essentially converting this to a one-piece body suit.
Removable quilted cotton lining.
CE-approved body armor in the shoulders, forearms/elbow, back spine protector, thighs and knee/shin armor is standard for riders but is easily removed for day-to-day wear.
Made from grade-A cowhide.
The full, form-molded leather set will run you around $1145 ($1165 Canadian), but you can pick up each part of it separately if that's more your style. Like we mentioned above, though, you'll have to come up with your own helmet — wearing the suit into a biker bar is definitely not recommended.

Nissan rep discussing Leaf's eco mode – Click above to watch video after the jump
Many electric and hybrid vehicles, the Nissan Leaf included, feature some sort of magical button designed to transform the vehicle into a eco-friendlier version of itself. Automakers usually apply a name to this button of joy. They often go with the traditional eco mode name, but anything with a green ring to it works – as long as the technology works. Nissan has got the tech down, and decided to follow tradition when equipping the Leaf with a user-selectable "eco mode."
With the push of its eco-mode button, the Leaf transforms from a "zero-emissions" vehicle into...hmm? Well, since the Leaf emits nothing, then what does this magical mode do? According to a Nissan representative, who spoke at the Drive Electric Tour in San Diego, engaging eco mode ramps up the Leaf's regenerative braking to capture more energy and also makes acceleration a more easygoing affair. These changes extend the range by up to ten percent. Not bad, considering that the extra miles come courtesy of a seemingly simple – but, obviously not – little shift. Hit the jump to watch the Nissan rep describe the Leaf's eco mode.

That's not to say that I don't live in leggings and dance shirts at home, but I particularly love RT where I HAVE to dress up.
Fat girls in leggings for example is a personal affront for myself and I can't say I'm too enamoured by people who talk at the top of their lungs almost all the time (yes Australians, I'm talking to you!).
Shimmying them on feels more like stuffing pork sausage into casings than slipping into cozy leggings, which is perfectly fine, because once you've jammed your legs in, the effect is amazing.

"I suggest people avoid wearing black leggings - or any dark colored clothing - so as not to attract mosquitoes," Ms. Pansiri said, calling the leggings a "Korean fashion phenomenon."
Here's the latest on that front -- men wearing those fitted stretchy pants called leggings that have been popular with women the last few years.
I remember this story mostly because it was the first time I'd seen Aqualad in comics, and later when I came across him with black hair and no "leggings," I was a bit confused.

There was tension among the 91 passengers on an IRS Airlines aircraft yesterday, as the aircraft wing tip hit a truck belonging to the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) on the runway.
This forced the pilot to taxi the aircraft to the parking bay of Terminal Two of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, for passengers to disembark.
The airline's Managing Director, Yemi Dada, said the incident could have been avoided if there were airport personnel on ground.
In a statement, he said: " This morning, Flight LVB 3306, with 91 passengers, taxied out at 7:48am on a Lagos to Kano flight with a transit stop at Abuja.
"On the taxi way, the captain observed a FAAN truck in a ditch. There were no marshallers around it neither was there any marking to indicate that it encroached into the taxi way.
"There was no NOTAM issued to that effect as well.
"The captain continued and the wing tip hit a protrusion from the truck towards the rear of the truck.
"This made him request for a return to Ramp from the tower. He notified the tower about the incident and the danger posed by the truck.
"The passengers were disembarked and re-accommodated on another aircraft, which departed Lagos at 10:15am.
"The incident has been reported to the National Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and we await its clearance to repair and return the aircraft for service."
But FAAN in a statement by its General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Yakubu Dati, blamed the pilot for not doing what is right.
Dati said: "The pilot, Capt. D Kelly, was informed by an Arik pilot of an obstruction on the taxiway towards Runway 18L.
"Capt. Kelly felt he could manoeuvre the obstacle but this failed because the tip of the wing of the aircraft collided with a section of the gully emptier at about 7.45 a.m.
"Capt Kelly did not stop but taxied back to the boarding gate of MMA2 to discharge his passengers.
"Officials of the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) and the NCAA were invited.
"FAAN engineers are on stand-by to evacuate the stuck sewage tanker as soon as preliminary investigations by both AIB and NCAA are concluded."

Scots Pine
Pinus Sibirica Seed Oil, Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Oil
Scots pine stems from the Pinaceae family and is native to Canada, Central and Northern Europe, North America and Siberia. When found in skin care, it has antiseptic, antibacterial and virus-fighting properties. It has disinfectant effects, as well as neutralizing odours and annihilating insects. Scots pine is well-suited for the treatment of small wounds and fights against the formation of sweat. It alleviates muscle and rheumatic pains. Scots pine oil is a popular sauna oil.
In aromatherapy, pine-needles strengthen the nerves. It prevents fatigue and sleeplessness and also promotes self-confidence and resilience.

text: The UK's Technology Strategy Board (TSB) will invest up to £3.7 million in projects that use innovative photonic technologies in business-led partnerships between academia, industry and health care providers to solve health challenges. The project aims to overcome hurdles that clinicians and others in the health care industry have in understanding the potential of next-generation photonic technologies, the TSB said, by bringing together multidisciplinary teams to develop new photonics applications. The funding will be run as a two-part process, with the first being a single-stage competition for feasibility studies and the second, a two-stage competition for collaborative research and development projects. Applicants for both stages must include at least one small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) as part of their team. The TSB will allocate £1.5 million for the first stage, with individual awards totaling as much as £175,000. Projects funded in the second stage will last between 12 and 24 months and will receive individual awards of up to £750,000 of the £2.2 million total. "The involvement of clinical and industrial end users in both the feasibility studies and R&D stages of the competition will help ensure not just that the [National Health Service] and clinicians fully understand the potential of next-generation photonic technologies, but that they can bring their expertise to bear in the development of a range of new tools for less-invasive diagnosis and surgery," said TSB Chief Executive Iain Gray.

As correctly articulated by journalists at the 'Movement Against Media Suppression' protest march held on Thursday, media freedom is important not only for media personnel and institutions, but for all sections of our society since free expression is correctly described as the mother of all freedoms. It is, therefore, right and proper that other organized sections of society such as trade unions and other civil organizations also participated in the event.
It is the media that gives meaning and substance to the fundamental right to freedom of expression as spelt out in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that says, "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." Our own Constitution also, like those of other constitutions of democratic countries in the world, provides for this right in Article 10 and Article 14 (1) (a) of the Constitution.
Significantly, political parties in this country, without exception, declare their highest commitment to protecting and promoting these freedoms. However, while in opposition they faithfully adhere to their commitments. They begin to love media freedom so much that they vow even to lay down their lives for protecting this freedom. But once ensconced in state power they begin to develop disenchantment with the media conduct. This antipathy increases as media begin to highlight weaknesses and the failure of ruling parties to redeem their election pledges.
Of course, the state media personnel that obsequiously pander to the interests of the rulers become their favourites. These persons and institutions become ideal exponents of media freedom in their view. Their distortions, misrepresentations, and vilification of opponents are often encouraged and even enjoyed by the ruling party. This is the duplicitous way in which political parties conduct themselves.
It is not surprising, therefore, that certain sections of the media too emulate their conduct. The fact that media personnel and institutions in this country are today subjected to much vilification, harassment and intimidation is incontrovertible. True, these features were there in the past too. But in recent times there has been a marked increase in these incidents. The fact that 14 journalists and media workers had been killed in the past two years and several others have been harassed, intimidated and humiliated cannot be denied. The infamous issue of a minister attempting to interfere directly in the affairs of a media institution still remains unresolved.
Since this is a country where good governance still remains confined only to glib talk, abuse of power, position and privileges continue unabated in most fields of activity. Media too cannot remain unaffected. The responsible media, however, should be able to take the country's present situation into serious consideration in conducting their activities.
There are democratic ways in which the authorities could tackle suspected instances of abuse. No media organization would then oppose such action. It is the illegal and undemocratic manner in which such situations are tackled that irks these organizations. The authorities often take cover under security concerns to check the media in their attempts at exposing corruption and other administrative wrongs. The government, in fact, need not worry much about what they regard as inaccurate reporting and unfair criticism.
If the government's conduct is above board, unfair allegations and criticisms will eventually be demolished. When the opposition parties criticized the government about its campaign in the East, for example, some sections of the media too echoed it, either because of their loyalty to opposition parties or because of their own convictions. Now that the true picture has emerged, the public could judge the validity or otherwise of the earlier criticisms. What is important, therefore, is the flawless and transparent conduct of the administration.
The operation of the free media could be compared to a stream where the good, bad, ugly and dirt float freely while the public on the banks could watch and make their own judgement. If the areas through which the stream meanders are unpolluted the bad could be reduced to a minimum. Similarly, if the media are to be flawless the political environment has to be kept clean. So the attempt to clean up the media would be fruitless if the environment in which they operate is allowed to remain putrid

I feel this is one of the greatest examples of how art is an experience, not just something you look at. The only other place I've seen this many people congregate around art is at The Metropolitan in Manhattan.
I love how the smooth, reflective curves of The Bean contrast with the sharp lines and angles of the skyscrapers. I enjoyed observing people find themselves on the metallic, mirror-like surface, seeing their delight upon finding their reflections and posing for pictures. I could sit there and watch people all day.
Me and a few of my besties.

More about that in a minute.
I live in AZ. I grew up in South Philadelphia, so I have a history of dreary days, rain, and snow. This is a huge factor in why we moved to a warmer climate. But since arriving in AZ in 1997, I have grown soft.
It's crap out there today. An awesome storm last night that made my bedroom window into a big screen TV left its trash behind. Getting out of bed is MANDATORY. We cannot retreat. But today will need modifications. And chocolate. But for now, pancakes will have to do.
My love for cakes of the pan is pretty legendary. I have made as many good ones as bad ones, and as long as they aren't completely charred (a little is okay) I WILL EAT THEM. But now I am trying to eat clean and heal myself through nutrition. Regular pancakes are verboten.
I have tried a few variations of paleo pancakes and they are feats of culinary expertise. I got tired just looking at the recipes. So when I stumbled upon this one, it looked simple enough. All of the ingredients are found in a normal grocery store. There's only a handful of things needed. It promises pancakes. I AM THERE.
But then I meet my new nemesis. It is not illness. It is not taxes. It is a plantain. Why?
Because plantains are bastards.
Plantains are the less sweet, more difficult cousin of the beautiful, easily disrobed banana. Think of your closest female cousin. So which are you? Keep that to yourself.
Here's the recipe:
2 large green plantains (about 2 cups pureed)
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp extra virgin coconut oil
1/8 tsp salt (a generous pinch)
½ tsp baking soda
Extra coconut oil for frying
Plantains are tricky. They like to dress up like bananas but they hide buttons and zippers in their peels. I have thrown out my share of bastard plantains because the peel can take the fruit with it, leaving you having to really work at scraping out. I don't like to work that hard when I am cooking.
So I cut off both ends with an unnecessarily huge knife. I want to intimidate the plantain. Then slice through the peel on both sides.
And gently pull the fibrous skin from the fruit.
Now chunk it up and add all the ingredients to the blender. Plantains are very difficult to pulverize so I am using my Ninja.
And it should look like this:
Pour the batter in your pan.
This batter is quite dense. It doesn't spread. It's half bastard. What do you expect?
As much as I love pancakes, I always flip them awkwardly. It's like I am always new to this.
I was able to make six pancakes from this batter. Three, I bagged and put in the fridge for tomorrow.
So I added some 100% maple syrup and leftover roasted veggies from last night. REMEMBER, flavor is secondary to getting those nutrients into your body.
I also made myself a Chai Latte by brewing chai tea and adding honey and coconut milk.
These pancakes are pretty tough. Plantains are quite fibrous. Like sponges. They aren't sweet and mushy like bananas (or your cousin). But we really aren't foolish enough to expect all the experiences of unhealthy food without the cost, right?
The taste has a slight banana-ish flavor. Otherwise they are very mild. I am intent on experimenting by adding apples and cinnamon in the future.
So I feel pretty satisfied with this new version of pancakes and will add it to my favorites collection. If you aren't already familiar with Paleomom, I encourage you to check out her websites and books. I have three of her books.
The recipe from her website: http://www.thepaleomom.com/2012/09/perfect-paleo-pancakes.html
