Naturally Adorable Cat Parodies Hannah, Girlsby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
With just a few days to go until the Girls Season 3 premiere, YouTube channel The Pet Collective (the geniuses behind "Puppy Can't Get Out of Bowl") has released a parody of Lena Dunham's HBO hit.
It is simply titled "Cats." And it begins with the following voiceover, via a feline version of Hannah Horvath:
"You are a cat, therefore, you are just naturally adorable. All I am is asking for is more milk to be fed at 5 am daily and a cat tower with a view of chirping birds."
It's great stuff. Prepare for the January 12 by checking out the video now and watch Girls online at TV Fanatic if you need to catch up:

They?'"
So nervous that football great Emmitt Smith says he was intimidated by the actual ballroom, which has been completely redesigned since his Season 3 win six years ago. Smith was so overwhelmed that he forgot his steps moments before stepping on stage. "I didn't tell her," he says, motioning towards partner Cheryl Burke, "but there was a whole section that just went blank."
And there's already an injury. "I'm hurt," says Gilles Marini, who tried to hide his limp up the stairs to the show's skybox; he pulled his right hamstring before turning in a stellar performance. How did he manage to make his dancing look pain-free? "You just have to smile and go," he says. But with the cameras gone, he looked subdued and worried. "Next week is the jive. I don't know if I'm going to be able to kick."
But the best story of the night came from Olympian Apolo Anton Ohno, who says he wasn't sure he even wanted to return when he found out his partner would be the fiery Karina Smirnoff. "True story," says Smirnoff. "He was asked to come back and he talked to Julianne [Hough, his former partner], and she said no [to returning]."
Adds Ohno, "Then they asked me, 'What do you think about dancing with Karina?' And I said, 'I know she's like, the best dancer, but isn't she kind of crazy?' True story, man. I don't lie. And then one of the producers told me, 'I don't know if she's crazy, but she's got a heart of gold.' And so I started watching some interviews with her, and I thought, 'Yeah, she's crazy. But in a good way.' I don't want to be with someone who's boring. I want to do the show, but I want to have fun."

New practices and systems include computer-controlled building climate and lighting controls, high-efficiency fluorescent lamps for interior lighting, computer-controlled drip irrigation systems, indigenous plants that use less water, rain sensors that stop watering when it’s raining, a recirculating hot water system that conserves both water and energy and low-energy bronze-glazed windows that reduce both energy consumption and demand.

Greece’s public broadcaster ERT (Hellenic Radio & Television) is installing a Spectrum media server system from Omneon alongside a new Dalet media asset management (MAM) system for ingest, playout and online storage.
The new Omneon server system, supplied by Pierides TechnoSystems, will allow ERT to digitize and manage all of its historically significant video content, currently stored in a variety of formats including legacy analog formats.
ERT owns a substantial film archive from the first decade of public television — which includes more than 40,000 hours of material on 35mm film and 210,000 hours on 16mm film — along with Greek and international news bulletins, and documentaries from that era.
The new archive system will incorporate material preserved on 1in and 2in open-reel tape, U-matic videocassettes, 16mm and 35mm film, and also newer formats such as Betacam SP and DVCPRO.
As soon as material is recorded onto the Omneon Spectrum media server, ERT staff can use the DaletPlus interface to view proxies of the content and log and track clips without modifying the original media.

Introduction
I know that when the name Aerocool pops up so recently after the review I did on their chassis, the Xpredator X3, many might think this is yet another product that will likely be sub-par, and may not even give it a second glance. What I have learned over the years of doing this review job is that you should never consider a company down and out just because one product you saw from them was not up to expectations. Even great men that have done righteous and very commendable things for their respected fields, but I bet every one of them took a bad step along the way to success. So even with the chassis still fresh in my mind, I want to take a look at their next submission with an untainted view.
Today we are in the realm of chassis mounted fan controllers, a five channel controller to be exact. In this design, Aerocool stepped up their game and bring a product that is not only technically sound, offers a bit of elegance with the black aluminum front panel, it even offers 3.5mm jacks for HD Audio, and a pair of USB 3.0 ports (and is reverse compatible to USB 2.0). What makes this fan controller worth some real attention is that you have the ability to just touch the screen of this dual bay fan controller, and with just the tip of a finger, you can control a full system of fans.
The new Touch-2100 from Aerocool has a lot to offer in what I have already told you, but as you will see today, it even has more to offer. Things like multi-colored options for the display, the fact that it offers an alarm system that will react to both the failure of one of the fans on the controller, but it even offers temperature probes with controllable alarms. There are a couple more cool features that the Touch-2100 has to offer, but if you want to know about them you are going to need to continue reading to find out what they are.
At first glance and with a bit of time using it now, I really do think that The Touch-2100 is well worth the time to glance through and see what this fan controller is all about over the next lot of pages. | 457 |
Row over female body in charter panel
ANKARA - Hürriyet Daily NewsParliament’s Constitution Conciliation Commission failed to reach an agreement on a provision on “the protection of the human being’s physical and spiritual entity and integrity,” after a debate was sparked on the “commoditization of female bodies.”
The panel debated three articles that had been agreed upon in a sub-commission. The commission agreed on the provisions on the “banning of ill-treatment and torture” as well as “the right to life,” however, main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) members proposed an amendment to the provision on “the protection of the human being’s physical and spiritual entity and integrity.” The CHP’s Atilla Kart reportedly spoke on the concept of the “human body” within the provision that the “human body and organs cannot be commoditized against human dignity.”
“Public authorities could be interventionist using the concept of ‘human body.’ For example, the Supreme Board of Radio and Television [RTÜK] could be interventionist using the concept of commoditizing female bodies. Beauty contests could be banned on the grounds that they commoditize women’s bodies. We don’t want to form a basis for state interventions,” Kart said at the meeting, the Hürriyet Daily News has learned.
The CHP proposed using the concept of “bodily integrity” instead of “human body.” The Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) lent support to the CHP, however, ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) members disagreed with the CHP. The provision was skipped after the row. | 333 |

3. Talking to the New Girl
Rating 3.3/5 Word Count 1796 Review this Chapter
Finally she looked up at me, pulling the tissue away from her face. Suddenly, I was struck with a delicious lightning feeling, and I felt the breath leave my lungs.
Dan’s POV:
“I’m sorry, I was just a little…overwhelmed.” The girl said, smiling through her tears. Her smile made me want to sing, and I felt an answering smile spread over my own face.
“Oh, and what were you overwhelmed by?” I asked. I felt distant, my voice coming from far away, a place where only she and I existed.
“No, you don’t want to hear my long, sad story.” She said, chuckling slightly. I was lost in the sound of her laugh; in the sight of her gorgeous green eyes; even the intoxicating smell of her blood…I wasn’t even tempted to drink from her, just to smell her for the rest of my life.
“I’ve got time…” I said. Her eyes seemed to appraise me and she looked doubtful.
“I don’t know…”
“I’m Daniel Cullen.” I said, grinning. Stop grinning like an idiot, Dan! I scolded myself, but I couldn’t stop.
“Uh, hi. I’m Jane Schuler.” She said, smiling a little also. Wiping her face, she stood up and I followed belatedly. As she turned the doorknob to leave, I snapped back to reality.
“Wait, aren’t you going to tell me why you were overwhelmed?” I asked, not wanting her to leave.
“Well, I was just…you know…having a tough time getting used to the new school and stuff. No big deal, I just needed a break from all the kids staring at me like I was some sort of museum display.” She said, sighing and picking up her backpack.
“I know what you mean, my family and I just moved here a couple of months ago…it’s kind of hard to get used to it.” I replied. She nodded and turned towards the door. I was going to stop her from leaving, reach out to her or maybe ask her another question, but I thought better of it…why should I complicate her life?
She opened the door and I noticed her adjust her side strapped backpack to the other shoulder. I was sure it was full of new books she had received, causing it to be a little heavy for a teenage girl to carry around school.
Should I?
Could I?
Maybe if I?
“So where’s your next class?” I blurted out. She turned and stared at me. I found myself swimming in the pure green of her eyes, in the confusion of her smile…
“Gym.” I heard her say as she turned back around and walked out of the closet, leaving me alone. I sighed and sat down on the upturned bucket she had inhabited a couple minutes ago. I put my head in my hands and when I closed my eyes, the only thing I could see was a sea of green.
Edward’s POV:
I turned the corner, my eye catching a movement to the right of me. A girl with long black hair and a small frame walked out of the janitor’s closet and turned towards me. When I saw her face, I realized it was the girl from Alice’s vision.
No guys. No guys. Pay attention to school, Jane! Yes, he was hot, but today is my first day; I don’t need a guy to complicate things! Oh.
She saw me and smiled a little, walking past and turning the corner. When she walked past me, I couldn’t help but catch her scent. It smelled so different. It wasn’t the usual smell of human blood I was used to. Sure, it was tempting enough, but that wasn’t it. It was as if it was mixed with something else.
I walked down the hall towards the closet, where I knew Dan was still sitting. I opened the door and slipped inside, making Daniel stand up quickly, knocking over a broom in the process.
“Edward…hey.” He said, although his thoughts were all jumbled and he kept thinking one word over and over again: green.
“Hello Dan. What misfortune has you turning up in this… janitor’s closet?” I smirked.
“You already know, don’t make me say it,” He said, looking down at his feet. He was a little taller than me, but I felt so much older than him.
“Dan…” I said, unable to find comforting words to say. “Do whatever you think is right. Don’t worry about what others will think or say. Whatever makes you happy will make the rest of us happy. And remember that sometimes complicating a life isn’t always a bad thing.” I put a hand on his shoulder and he smiled at me.
“I wish it were that easy…she doesn’t like me.”
“She doesn’t know you enough to like you,” I laughed. We both walked out of the closet and he looked around.
“Hey, why aren’t you in class?” He asked. Ah, the proactive elder sibling in him is still alive.
“I could ask you the same question….” I said. He rolled his eyes and started to walk off.
“You go to your class, I’m going to mine.” He said. I read his mind and was reassured.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell.” I said, answering his thoughts. He looked back and winked at me before turning the other corner. He didn’t want me to tell the rest of the family or Ally yet; I was fine with keeping secrets.
I walked to Gym and received a little surprise. The new girl was sitting on the bleachers as a game of soccer proceeded on the court. I smiled and walked over to the coach.
“What is it, Cullen? Why are you so late?” Coach Madis asked.
“Sorry coach, I was looking for my clothes in my locker, but I couldn’t find them. I guess I forgot them at home.” I lied easily, putting my hands in my pockets and trying to look sorry.
“Oh, ok then. Go sit on the bleachers. You’re usually a good kid so I’ll give you a freebie this time. Don’t let it happen again.”
“Yes sir.” I said, striding over to the bleachers, and deliberately sitting next to the girl. The headphones in her ears were blasting a song called ‘Pretty Girl’, by Sugarcult. The girl had good taste in music, I would give her that; I owned that CD. I watched as she pushed pause on her iPod and turned to me, a curious expression on her face along with a smile.
“Hi, I’m Edward. Are you a new student?” I asked politely. She nodded and pulled the headphones out of her ears.
“Yeah, I’m Jane.” She replied.
“Are you freshman?”
“Nope, I’m a junior.” Just like Dan, I thought. I was surprised they didn’t have any classes together.
“So…where are you from?” I blocked out all the thoughts coming from around me, so I could seem more… normal.
“San Francisco.”
“Ah, it must be very different to live here.”
“Oh, that’s quite an understatement.”
“Tell me about it.”
“Uh…I don’t know… I like the weather here better.”
“Really?” I asked.
“Yeah, I love the rain and the nice cooling temperatures. Back home, it was foggy and stuff...and so hot.”
“Well that’s interesting. What else is different?”
“Hmm, the people. I’ve never lived in a small town before and it’s pretty different. Everyone knows everything here, and I don’t think anyone likes new people.”
“No, they usually don’t. I was new here too, but I guess I’m old news now. They get wary of it, and soon they’ll stop giving you those stares.”
“Oh thank gosh, those stares are so annoying!” We both laughed, but I sensed something sad about her laugh.
“So why did you move here?” I asked.
“Well…my mom and dad just got a divorce and my dad got a new job at the hospital here. Today is his first day.”
“That’s interesting, my father works at the hospital also.”
“Really? That’s cool.”
“I suppose. Is it difficult for you to move here?”
“I used to be really involved in school back home, so it’s kind of hard for me to move away and start all over again.”
“Involved in school?” I asked, curious.
“Yeah, I was the president of student council, editor of the newspaper, and I was on the basketball team.” She sighed, looking away now. “Everything was close to perfect. I had good grades, great friends, and an awesome boyfriend.” She said. I felt my body freeze, an immediate reaction to the word she uttered.
“What happened then?” I asked carefully. She sighed and pushed her hair back.
“My parents always fought, and after the divorce, my mom took my brother and my dad got me. I had to leave everything and come with him.”
“So did you break up with your…boyfriend?”
“Yeah.” She replied simply. I relaxed a bit.
“Is he your older brother or younger?”
“Younger. He’s twelve years old, and really annoying…. but I miss him. Even though he always used to bug me, it feels weird not living with him, you know?”
“I can imagine…so your father forced you to come all the way up here with him?” I asked, feeling sympathetic.
“No, he asked if I wanted to, but I could tell how much he wanted to leave, so I lied and told him I wanted to also. It seemed to make him happier, so I’m fine with it.”
“That was nice of you.”
“I guess. So now it’s my turn.” She said, looking at me again and smiling.
“Your turn?” I asked.
“Yeah, my turn to ask the questions. Why are you so interested? No one else asked me anything personal.”
“I don’t know. I was just wondering…”
“So, do you have a girlfriend?”
“Yes. Her name is Bella, she’s a freshman like me.”
“Good.” She said, visibly relaxing.
“Why is that good?”
“Because…oh my gosh, this sounds so conceited…I didn’t want another guy to be interested in me. It’s sickening how boys here just talk to me because I’m the new girl, you know?”
“I see, well…all boys don’t hold that pretense.”
“True…what’s your story? Why did you move here?”
“Um…I---” I was cut off by the coach’s whistle, signaling for the students to get dressed. Jane started to gather her things and I smelled that scent again. It was quite interesting.
“So, I guess I’ll see you around.” She said, and I looked up.
“Yes, it was nice to meet you.”
“Yeah, you too.” She replied. “Okay, only one more period left. I can do this.” She smiled.
We both laughed and the bell rang. She waved at me, walking out of the gym and to the right. I walked left and headed towards my Biology class, and to Bella. I had made the office change my schedule just so I could I have Biology with Bella…I felt as if it were tradition.
Alice’s POV:
I walked into my art class and grinned brightly. YES! Jane Shuler was sitting in the desk that was next to my own. Oh, this is amazingly lucky. | 2,424 |

Chapter 9
I blinked in the harsh sunlight. My coven and I had shifted as soon as we came, and we gave Jasmine my large green sweatshirt. She put the hood up, and put her hands into the pocket. She was already wearing long jeans, so we didn’t have to trade pants.
We started to walk down the dusty dirt road toward the ocean. The town that KJ lived in was pretty small, and everyone knew each other. We couldn’t just teleport in town because no one would have seen us arrive, and people would get suspicious.
Jasmine seemed uncomfortable walking down the old road. It may have been the harsh sunlight, or the lingering scent of human. Both would make sense.
Truth be told, I was a little uncomfortable as well. I never met KJ before. I knew that he was the real leader of my coven, and that he called a lot of the shots. He was the one who gave Becka permission to change me. It was thanks to him I was alive.
Becka led us down the dusty road. I was slightly confused as to why we were here. “Um, Becka, I thought KJ was in Colorado?” I asked.
“Oh, that’s where his house is. He has a vacation home here. He had us help him move everything in this week; that’s why we were gone,” she explained. I nodded.
We walked down to the ocean, and I marveled in the breeze coming off of it. I loved the ocean so much. The cool saltiness and the freshness of it was refreshing. Aaron and Alex both ran ahead, betting on who would make it there first. I laughed along with Becka. Jasmine looked like she didn’t know whether to laugh or not.
They led us to a large seaside cabin. It was made with a dark wood I didn’t recognize, and had large windows facing the sea. Next to it was a large cliff that was steeper than some of the ones I had seen in Washington.
“Come on you guys!” Alex called as Aaron handed him a twenty. I grinned, and ran up to the door. Becka came up beside me and knocked on the door.
A tall dark skin man answered. He was wearing jeans and a green sweater. He looked oddly pale, but had perfect features. His almost shaved hair was black and shiny.
I felt very self conscious. I was meeting the man who had stopped segregation, who had given up his life (somewhat) to the cause of all cultures living together in peace.
He smiled at me. “Ah, you must be Bella, right? I’ve heard quite a lot about you,” he said kindly. My eyes widened as I looked at Alex, who was laughing, but I didn’t say anything.
“It’s nice to meet you too, Dr. King,” I said politely.
He waved the name off. “Call me KJ. I haven’t been Dr. King in over twenty years,” he said. I nodded, smiling. He was a person you could be very comfortable with. He reminded me a lot of Dr. Cullen. I inwardly winced as I thought this, but I was careful not to show anything on my face.
“So, who’s this?” He asked, gesturing to Jasmine as he led us into the living room in his cabin. It had simple yet elegant furnishings. He had a long beige couch, and a matching loveseat. A small copper fireplace was near the wide windows, which showed a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean. The walls were painted a light brown.
“I’m Jasmine. These four found me in the wood a little bit ago,” she said quietly. I saw that she was avoiding the conditions of out meeting. I knew that KJ saw her red eyes, but he didn’t say anything about it.
“Ah, so they brought you to me? I’m afraid to say that they are as young as they look, and are afraid of screwing up bad, and then having me find out,” he said with a chuckle. I looked at him in confusion, but the others were looking down. KJ saw my expression and laughed.
“Oh no Bella, you haven’t done anything. Before you were changed, these three accidentally almost got caught by humans, and ever since they have been extremely cautious,” he explained.
I looked at Becka, who mouthed ‘later.’ I nodded, giving her an evil smile. She shook her head in defeat.
“I was hoping you could help me with my hunting habits,” Jasmine said, ignoring out silent fight.
“Of course!” KJ said with a breathtaking smile. Jasmine returned it, but then in faltered slightly.
“Wait, you said that they are as young as they look…” she said looking at us.
“Oh, I’m the only newborn in the room,” I said. She looked at me in confusion.
“You see, all of us are almost immune to bloodlust. We actually find human blood slightly repulsive,” Alex said wisely. Aaron and I rolled our eyes at him, but didn’t say anything.
Jasmine looked impressed. She looked at us all with new respect in her eyes. “Wow, so this won’t be too hard, huh?” she asked in an awed voice. We all shook our heads.
“Well we should get back to the states. See you later!” Becka said. She reached out and grabbed Alex, Aaron and I, and teleported us back to the woods.
I was disoriented for a moment, and shook my head to clear the dizziness. When I looked up, they were looking at me with mischief in their eyes. I stared at them, horrified.
“Ready for your surprise?” Aaron asked.

Jahi McMath, the 13-year-old Oakland, Calif., girl declared brain dead after complications from surgery, was quickly and quietly moved from Children's Hospital of Oakland Sunday evening, the hospital confirmed.
The move came hours after the her family's attorney said they would be moving her to a treatment facility “come hell or high water” before Tuesday's 5 p.m. deadline for the hospital to turn off her ventilator. MaMath's family has remained hopeful that she will recover despite the hospital maintaining that she is already dead.
READ A TIMELINE OF EVENTS IN THE CASE OF JAHI MCMATH
David Durand, chief of pediatrics at the hospital, sent a news release just after 8:30 p.m. PT confirming she was moved.
“A short while ago, the body of Jahi McMath was released by Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland to the coroner,” he wrote. “The coroner has released her body to the custody of her mother, Latasha Winkfield, as per court order, for a destination unknown.”
“Our hearts go out to the family as they grievefor this sad situation and we wish them closure and peace.”
A tweet sent from an account that has been used by Jahi's uncle, Omari Shealey just minutes before the move, said, “I told you we'd do it!!! I love you Jahi and I will come visit you soon baby girl. Your Uncle is a BEAST!!!”
The family's attorney, Christopher Dolan plans to hold a news conference later this evening at his San Francisco office.
Sunday morning, he told KPIX 5 that the family had lined up a facility, transportation and a medical staff for the 13-year-old, who has been on a ventilator at the hospital since developing complications and suffering cardiac arrest after a three-part surgery to remove her tonsils and clear tissue from her nose and throat at the facility Dec. 9.
On Friday, the family and hospital agreed through a compromise forged in Alameda Superior Court that Jahi's mother may remove her from the hospital as long as Jahi's mother, Nailah Winkfield, takes responsibility for the child's care.
A temporary restraining order granted by Judge Evelio Grillo had forced the hospital to keep Jahi on a ventilator until 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Dolan did not say where Jahi was being taken, but court documents revealed.
Alameda County Sheriff's Office spokesman J.D. Nelson said Friday that a death certificate has 'medical will allow a transfer team to enter the facility and move out Jahi, with her entire health responsibility, and the responsibility of the move falling to the mother. Jahi's tubes from the ventilator are to be removed and placed into the transport team's equipment, along with other devices, and her body will be moved from the hospital's gurney to a new one. Her medical records, medications and a status report also will be handed over, and the hospital will sever ties with her, the agreement states.
“Now we have a clear path,” Dolan told the station. “When you have a clear path, you begin running, especially when time is ticking down.” | 651 |

DETROIT -- Ron Gardenhire is happy to have Matt Capps back in the bullpen, but the Minnesota Twins manager doesn't want a one-and-done from the erstwhile closer, who hasn't pitched since July 16 because of a shoulder injury.
Capps has been cleared to be activated from the disabled list after throwing two simulated games in Fort Myers, Fla., last week.
"One thing I talked to him about: I don't want this just to be get ready, pitch one time and have him say, 'I'm good. I'm done,' " Gardenhire said Sunday, Sept. 23. "We don't need that, and he doesn't need that. If you're going to come back, come back and be part of the bullpen."
The Twins had nine games left after Sunday's doubleheader at Comerica Park.
Capps, 29, will probably be a free agent at season's end and has been candid about his desire to show the league he'll be healthy for 2013. The Twins have a $6 million option for next season but are more likely to exercise a $250,000 buyout.
Gardenhire said Capps will be out in the bullpen with his teammates for Monday's series opener against the Yankees at Target Field but said he was unsure when the right-hander might pitch. Capps has been limited to three innings since June 15 because of what was ultimately diagnosed as inflammation in his rotator cuff.
"We'll go day by day with him to see how we're going to use him, an inning here an inning there," Gardenhire said. "We don't want to push the limits too much.
Briefly
Sam Deduno, who threw only 53 pitches in his start Saturday, will come back on short rest to start the series finale against the Yankees Wednesday at Target Field. Deduno was tagged for seven earned runs on seven hits and three walks in 21/3 innings of an 8-0 loss to the Tigers. | 407 |

Hi,
I am using iSEO Pro. My webdesigner made a website for me and this was an included component.
In iSEO pro i have a problem with the keyword linking option. In the past i could choose for which articles a certain keyword would like to a specific article. I could just manually add articles in which a specific word automatically links to a selected article.
Strang enough i cannot select a specific article anymore. It will just not s elect the article. Not in Firefox and also not in Google Chroome.
See screenshot? In the left corner i also see some remark about java when i click on a specific article.
Do you know what is going on here? It seems like a bug?
Kind regards.

We address the changing make-up, focus and expectations of investors in the convergence space as the market broadens and matures.
The options for convergence investors have deepened over time, and with new risks being brought to market with increasing frequency, it is apparent that investors, their appetites and their deployment of capital are adapting to a new norm.
Institutional investors continue to dominate the space, with pension funds taking over from hedge fund and reinsurance investors as the leading players, as returns in the space have come down.
Luca Albertini, CEO of Leadenhall Capital, estimates that around 90 percent of his investors are pension funds and although he agrees that this does not necessarily reflect investor appetite right across the convergence spectrum, it does provide some indication of the strength of pension fund involvement in the space.
Michael Pinsel, partner at Sidley Austin, concurred, adding that while a lot of the money in the space is fronted by specialist investors, a significant amount of the capital behind those funds is pension money. He said that in the past there was greater hedge fund involvement in the convergence space, but that following the 2008 financial crisis “hedge funds had their own issues to address, and many chose to refocus on their core investment strategies”, drawing back from the convergence space.
In the meantime, pension funds “had gone through the educational process and had come to increasingly understand the value of insurance-related assets,” said Pinsel. He explained that diminished fixed income investment returns across the broader financial markets had succeeded in making insurance-linked securities (ILS) more attractive on a relative basis, while pension funds had come to recognise the diversifying benefits and lower correlation of insurance as an asset class.
“As the ILS market has matured, the premium built into the investment return relating to the newness of the asset class has diminished and more cautious investors have moved in from the sidelines”—in this instance, the pension funds.
“There is recognition that the ILS space is a market of durability and the cautious lead time needed for full institutional acceptance of the space is beginning to pass,” explained Pinsel. Pension funds also happen to be a particularly good fit for insurance risk, he said.
“Often they don’t require the same level of liquidity as other investors,” and are therefore able to invest right across the spectrum of insurance risk. This makes them ideal investors for illiquid insurance vehicles such as collateralised reinsurance, as well as for more liquid instruments such as cat bonds.
However, there remains a section of the investor base that is looking for liquidity in its insurance risk, said Albertini. “You have some investors who can invest only in liquid securities because of, for example, regulations under the European investor directive. For those investors, assets need to be liquefiable within a week or so, typically limiting their involvement in the convergence space to cat bonds. They cannot invest in the collateralised reinsurance space,” he explained.
“This has forced some investors into the liquid pot of securitised insurance assets regardless of how attractive returns are in the illiquid pot,” and led to more marked fluctuations in investor capital in the liquid cat bond space, Albertini explained, with cat bond-only funds being obliged to open and close, reflecting the availability of securitised transactions.
“Funds typically close because they won’t take investor money when they don’t have enough liquid cat bonds they can deploy capital into,” Albertini continued. This lends greater investor weight to the more liquid sections of the market, which is reflected in the lower investor returns apparent in that section of the market—although cat bond risks do tend to be more remote, and priced as such.
Albertini said that Leadenhall Capital’s funds typically offer quarterly liquidity, but that this can prove problematic for sectors such as private banking which “post-2008 want true liquidity by choice”, while others are restricted by absolute requirements for liquidity. While ILS funds “don’t expect all their investors to want their money next month, there is nevertheless recognition of the need for liquidity”, he added. Fortunately for the market, pension funds tend to be happy with the lack of liquidity associated with certain convergence risks such as collateralised reinsurance.
Other investors meanwhile face restrictions regarding the type of risk that they can invest in. Some may limit their exposure to US wind risk, which accounts for a significant portion of the convergence market. Many funds also regard non-US risk as an attractive diversifier, although the benefits of diversification need to be considered within the context of return.
“If returns fall below an absolute level, no matter how diversifying the risks are, many investors will tend to walk away,” said Albertini.
Changing appetites
Addressing appetite for risks within the convergence space, Pinsel said that he has seen a slight uptick in the pursuit of more risky products—“a feature not simply of a push for higher returns, but also an increased appetite for insurance risk generally within the capital markets”. He said that there is already evidence of appetite for casualty risk, with emerging risks promising the market higher returns.
Paul Larrett, senior non-life originator at Securis ILS Management (Bermuda), said that with the capital markets increasingly comfortable in the convergence space “the range of investments that people are entertaining has broadened right across the spectrum, from primary insurance right through to collateralised retrocession”.
“This is particularly evident in the US, where there is growing interest in trying to access some of the more direct insurance business—cat exposed, but more direct.” He said that changing market dynamics and softening conditions in the conventional re/insurance space had encouraged greater interest in convergence opportunities—among cedants and investors alike.
Not that rising interest has been all plain sailing. As Larrett explained, softening market conditions are making the task of sourcing attractive risk more difficult and are encouraging a broader examination of risk. “As the market softens, it’s increasingly important to have good access to business. When rates are very attractive and prices are high, more transactions will look acceptable, but when rates soften, fewer transactions will meet investor return targets.
“When this happens you’ve got to sift through more transactions and pick out the ‘diamonds in the rough’.”
Larrett said that determining the gems in the space depends very much on investor appetite, but explained that risk selection is very often dictated by two schools of thought. The first argues that with pension funds investing 98 percent of their funds in fixed income and equities, the capital they give to an ILS fund is unrestricted by correlation or restrictions, freeing the fund to pursue the maximum return for their pension fund client, he said.
The second school of thought suggests that investors will be looking at the marginal impact on their wider portfolio and that as such their approach will depend on their particular risk appetite and how risks fit within a wider portfolio. Funds will therefore have to weigh up the mix of their convergence portfolio with care.
Unmodelled allure
Albertini and Pinsel both argue that the market has considerable opportunity to bring unmodelled or less well modelled risk to market in order to complement the existing breadth of risk. As Albertini explained, there is at times an over-reliance on models as the only source of information on securitised and convergence risk. He said that the industry would do well to consider risks that are not as closely modelled by the big three vendors as a potentially significant addition to the convergence market.
Pinsel added that transactions that include unmodelled risk can help to create a more diverse risk:return profile that could attract further interest into the space. “ILS funds understand that different investors are looking for different levels of risk. Specialist investors may be interested in the higher risk:return transactions that these unmodelled risks may represent.” The market is looking to bring in second and third level cedants and new geographies, and having a more open view of unmodelled perils might well help to do that, he said.
Unlocking risks currently held by governments at the federal or state level would also help to drive growth in the convergence space, said Larrett. “The US government doesn’t want all its insurance risk to lie within the wind pools, for example—it’s simply not within its interests. Momentum is gathering to take certain risks out of wind pools and transfer them into the private market.” This represents considerable opportunity for the market.
Pinsel added that the market is also looking at new ways to structure risk in order to bring more cedants into the convergence space. “There is a demand imbalance right now, with more investor money to deploy than there are risks and not enough liquid transactions to satisfy that appetite.” If the market can structure new transactions—smaller and more innovative perhaps—then it can hope to marry new risks with existing and growing investor appetite.
Albertini said that investors are also looking to encourage cedants to release riskier layers in order to hit their return targets, particularly as coupon rates have come under increasing pressure.
A certain maturity
Looking ahead, Albertini said that there is an expectation in some quarters that a major loss would help to pep up the recent decline in investor returns, but he explained that many would be left disappointed. “Rather than prompting a change in pricing, a major loss will likely encourage money that is presently sitting on the sidelines to enter the space, while most investors will be tempted to reload to take advantage of any—in all likelihood, temporary—dislocation in the market.”
What is more likely to shake up the market is an unexpected loss, said Albertini, citing the Thai floods as a case in point. This might help to create a change of attitude, although it is apparent that there is already a change in investor appetite as returns have come under increasing pressure.
“There is still a net increase in capital entering the sector, but the pace has slowed,” explained Albertini. The change is indicative of a growing level of maturity in the convergence of the insurance and capital markets, but it may well not be welcomed by all.

U.S. Grant was on good terms with Andrew Johnson, but the two parted unhappily over the issue of Secretary of War Stanton's dismissal under the Tenure of Office Act. Grant probably could have had the nomination from either party, but he drifted into the Radical Republicans' orbit.
Although Grant lacked strong political convictions, he enjoyed the attention showered on him following the war. New York City awarded him a cash grant of more than $100,000; Philadelphia and Galena, Illinois, provided him with free houses. His love of money and luxury led him to accept the Republican nomination in 1868. The party platform pledged a continuation of radical reconstruction, an issue on which Grant was a moderate.
The Democrats nominated New York governor Horatio Seymour, who ran on a platform calling for the repayment of the war debt in greenbacks.
The campaign was bitter. Grant was hailed as a war hero, but also was tarred with many accusations, including being a drunkard and a "Negro-lover." The Republican campaign consisted mainly of "waving the bloody shirt," a tactic of reminding the voters of the Democrats' lack of support of the war effort. Seymour was also attacked for his backing of the inflationary greenback scheme.
Grant won convincingly in the Electoral College, but the popular vote margin was only about 300,000. With 500,000 black votes cast, it was clear that former slaves provided the margin of victory. The Democrats most likely lost this election because of their lackluster candidates, rather than Grant's political appeal.

The average wind power penetration level in EU is above 14%, with temporary values exceeding 50% in some countries. In this scenario, the integration of wind farms into the power systems requires new control strategies with new specifications and objectives. Now, the objective is not the maximization of the energy harvesting, but the production of power profiles demanded by TSOs. This includes the provision of ancillary services such as frequency support, voltage stability, power reactive dispatching, etc.
In general, wind power plants have been modelled as aggregated turbines to represent the behaviour of the entire system in terms of power delivered to the grid. However, these simplified descriptions are not able to capture the complexity of the wind farms behaviour. Each wind turbine faces different wind profiles and interacts with the rest of turbines in the farms. Furthermore, a wind farm is itself a complex electrical grid with a large number of agents and with different control levels interacting with each other.
The objective of this Individual. The control strategies will cover the different control levels needed to achieve the previous mentioned objectives.
Tasks
- Modelling of wind farms considering the individual wind turbine limitations.
- Developing distributed control algorithms for wind farms to optimise the global energy capture.
- Developing distributed control strategies to achieve a suitable aggregated behaviour of the wind farm to provide grid support.
Expected Results
- Wind farm models oriented to the design of distributed control strategies.
- Distributed control algorithms to provide grid support capabilities.

On October 25, 1983, six days after Prime Minister Maurice Bishop was executed by Bernard Coard's Stalanist sect, the United States armed forces landed troops on the beaches of Grenada.
To understand the whys and wherefores of the invasion of Grenada by 7,000 U.S. soldiers, supplemented by about 300 military personnel from surrounding islands, the reader should know a little about the history leading up to the conflict.
Grenada, the early years
Grenada is a small island of 135 square miles, with a population of about 95,000. It is located 100 miles north of Venezuela, among the Windward island chain in the southern Caribbean Sea. Trinidad and Tobago lie to the south; St. Vincent and the Grenadines lie to the north. It is a rolling, mountainous island well known for its fragrant spice trees and other producing plants, including nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and cocoa.
The first contact by non-native peoples was made by Christopher Columbus in 1498. Grenada was inhabited by Island Caribs (Kalinago) and the Karina from mainland South America. Following a failed attempt by the British to settle there, the French stepped in to acquire the island in 1650. That led to a war with the Caribs of nearby Dominica and St. Vincent, who didn't want to lose their trade routes to the mainland.
The British regained control over the island in 1783, and made Grenada a Crown Colony in 1877.
To the present
Finally, in 1974, Grenada was granted independence from Britain. The new government, led by Sir Eric Gairy, slowly moved toward a totalitarian state, which triggered a revolt.
When Gairy was in New York, speaking at the United Nations in March 1979, Maurice Bishop, a well-liked and educated leftist, led a bloodless coup to usurp control of the Grenadan government.
Bishop espoused a government based on the New JEWEL Movement (New Joint Endeaver for Welfare, Education, and Liberation), a rural activist association. JEWEL had merged with the intelligensia of the Movement for Assemblies of the People (MAP), whose political roots were grounded in the Black Power movement. Bishop's Marxist leanings led to ties with Cuba, Russia, and other left-wing countries..
Meanwhile, hard-line Marxist Bernard Coard, Bishop's deputy prime minister and erstwhile friend, felt that Bishop didn't operate far enough to the left. On October 19, 1983, Coard, backed by his own military, seized power in a bloody coup, then executed Bishop and members of his inner circle.
Operation Urgent Fury
That latest attempt to install a Marxist-Leninist government within the U.S. sphere of influence so alarmed members of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, that they appealed to the U.S., Barbados, and Jamaica to intervene. At stake was not only a struggle of ideologies, but also a threat to about 1,000 medical students living on the island, many of whom were Americans.
While the posturing was going on in the Caribbean, a truck bomb exploded on October 23, half a world away in Beirut, Lebanon, killing 241 American marines. In addition to the great loss of life, the incident was a major embarrassment to the United States.
The coup in Grenada gave Reagan a chance to exact a little revenge on anti-American regimes in the Caribbean and the rest of the world. deemed.
Conclusion
Just prior to the invasion, protests rang off the walls of the Oval Office. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of the United Kingdom insisted, "in the strongest possible terms," that "Grenada was part of the British Commonwealth, and the United States had no business interfering in its affairs."
Reagan later reminisced, "She was very adamant and continued to insist that we cancel our landings on Grenada. I couldn't tell her that it had already begun."
Following the invasion, Thatcher told."
An impassive Reagan would later joke that Grenada had to be invaded because it was the world's largest producer of nutmeg. "You can't make eggnog without nutmeg," he remarked.

Wannacry Ransomware System Compromise
Cyber shortages. Regardless of the underlying reasons, ransomeware threats are real and should not be taken likely.
The “WeCry” virus attack easily identify system weaknesses, breakdown their defences and compromised targeted computers in no time, leaving organisations in panic and a significant trail of data breaches.
Microsoft released the fix in March 2017, but not all updates can be applied to a network of computer system without first investigating the risk this ill cause to your system. Sometimes when new updates or patch are applied, they end up breaking the system or cause unexpected problems for other applications which may be to the detriment of users and those responsible for system administration.
Within a fast paced world, this is not acceptable, as any lost opportunities due to system down time can be very costly and this was the case with WeCry ransomeware that wreaked havoc for many large enterprises across the globe. Was it due to deliberate negligence or were there other important factors that must be taken into consideration?
Given that hackers and malicious entities are constantly developing software tools and actively investigating techniques to effectively compromise computer security, there are no guarantees that there will be a final solution for security threats.
Windows XP support ended in April 2014 and there has been numerous operating systems versions released by Microsoft since then, including Windows 7, Windows 8 and more recently Windows 10.
Migrating systems to the Windows operating system version require a risk assessment and many organisations are comfortable with the concept of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. This is a negative concept and perhaps the main reason whyWannaCrypt was able to be so successful in the first place.
There is a general misnomer going about that the average time to discover security breach is approximately 99 days. For many organisations with infected systems, this is too late. How best can one protect against ransomeware such as WannaCry? | 391 |
Creighton Lab
The Creighton Lab is led by Assistant Professor Judy R. Creighton, Ph.D.
Our research focuses on the discovery of endogenous repair mechanisms situated in the lung’s vascular lining, the endothelium. Although this thin layer of cells lines all vascular beds, not all endothelial cells are the same. Endothelium from various organs, and even from different vascular beds within the same organ, is physically and functionally distinct.
We aim to understand how endothelium lining specific vascular segments within the lung contributes to overall lung health and to vascular repair following injury or disease. We find that the enzyme Adenosine Monophosphate Kinase (AMPK), classically described as a metabolic sensor, functions as an injury response mechanism in the lung’s capillary bed. Interestingly, our data show that AMPK promotes calcium-signaling necessary for endothelial barrier repair. Calcium signaling is often associated with disruption of the endothelial lining. However, our lab has shown that AMPK activates a discrete calcium mechanism, which reorganizes the cytoskeleton crucial for cadherin adherens’ junction assembly and endothelial cell-cell adhesion.
Specifically, our research tests the hypothesis that AMPKα1 and N-cadherin function in tandem as a rapid response mechanism allowing pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs) to re-establish tight cell-cell adhesions quickly and limit increased capillary permeability. Our work supports the idea of endothelial biomedicine with the goal of developing therapeutic strategies targeted toward vascular bed specific disease.

- Function of AMPK relative to tissue specific expression and sub-cellular localization.
- Metabolic mechanisms controlling endothelial permeability

Collaboration can be toxic to an Information Security program. Assaulted by conflicting management agendas and priorities, the consensus needed for success sometimes suffers an early death.
However, many organizations perpetuate the mantra that collaboration is always a good idea. Unfortunately, managers’ collective memories tend to cling to the outcomes of successful collaboration at the cost of the details that enabled those wins.
In Collaboration Is Misunderstood and Overused, Andrew Campbell examined the misuse of collaboration and highlights issues that I have seen in my consulting practice – problems that threatened to reverse the momentum gained after a security assessment.
Teamwork and collaboration are distinct approaches to harnessing the skills/knowledge of corporate stakeholders to address a challenge. The former emerges when a leader, or leadership team, directs a group that cooperates to solve a problem.
According to Campbell, team actions “are interdependent, but they are fully committed to a single result.” This focus requires an outcome-focused management style where individual or group differences are sublimated for the benefit of the team.
“Team members may dislike each other. They may disagree on important issues. They may argue disruptively. But with a good leader they can still perform,” said Campbell.
Collaboration differs in the lack of a central leader. According to Campbell, those involved “will have some shared goals, but they often also have competing goals. Also, the shared goal is usually only a small part of their responsibilities.”
Complicating things further is the lack of conflict resolution that is an organic part of a team’s leadership structure.
A healthcare provider contracted me to map the flow of Personal Healthcare Information (PHI) throughout their organization. Three weeks of interviews revealed the controls applied to the collection, processing, utilization, storage, and destruction of patient data.
These controls, together with discussions with various managers, revealed that each department had very different ideas on how PHI should be used and secured. Some managers felt that protection of PHI was a validation of the faith entrusted to them by their customers. Other managers felt that PHI should only be protected to the extent required by HIPAA.
Upon review of this feedback, upper management realized that wholesale collaboration would be unproductive in formulating an enterprise-wide strategy to optimize PHI security while enhancing their value proposition. Recognizing that a team-based approach would be more effective, they created teams based on a functional analysis of the PHI data collected previously.
The teams were comprised of departments that participated in those functions and led by a corporate committee. The outcome was an ongoing, coordinated compliance effort focused on securing patient data at a reasonable cost.
What makes collaboration succeed when it is used appropriately? Stakeholders’ emotional engagement and mutual respect coupled with a governance structure increases the chance of success.
Campbell advises that managers “avoid relying on a collaborative relationship except in the rare case when a company objective is important enough to warrant some collaborative action but not so important as to warrant a dedicated team.”
Realizing the value of security investments requires teamwork. However, corporate teams play on a competitive arena that demands flexibility and responsiveness. Managers must be ready to recognize when to use tactical collaborations for the benefit of team strategy.
This mix of collective problem solving is common to supply chains where risk management involves multiple suppliers, and it’s a topic we hope to discuss further in upcoming Security Connected blogs and on Twitter at @McAfeeBusiness.

The table above shows all the resolutions that applications should expect and it’s pretty interesting to know that we will (finally!) get something other than 320×240 – we have been stuck to that resolution for so long, it is just weird because this is one of the most obvious improvements that one could have made without a lot of programming efforts.

Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has dropped a hint on potential business in the January transfer window.
Bielsa has been keen to hold off on making signings in the rapidly approaching transfer window, but the situation may have changed at Elland Road.
Leeds need another goalkeeper after Jamal Blackman suffered a leg fracture, while Samu Saiz has left to return to Spain, signing for Getafe on loan.
Further injuries have also continued to grip the side and Bielsa admits it is an inescapable fact that he has less players at his disposal now than he had in the summer.
Asked about his plans for the January transfer window, Bielsa told a press conference: ", he added.
But Bielsa is keen to stress that he will only bring in players who are better than those he currently has.

It is unclear how much money Leeds may have to spend in January, with the Whites forced to sell midfielder Ronaldo Vieira to Italian Serie A side Sampdoria in the summer to help balance the books. | 213 |
The Sprint Motorola Photon 4G just came out, and Motorola presents it as being a “superphone”. Powered by an NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core system on a chip, it’s easy to understand why Motorola sees it that way. Despite having recent competition from Qualcomm, the chip still dominates many synthetic benchmarks. However, a smartphone is more than raw performance numbers: few people actually buy a smartphone based on that. Fortunately, the Photon 4G has more than just performance. Motorola gave it Webtop, a desktop-like environment that supports a full desktop Firefox browser. The Photon 4G has also been designed to be an efficient email and multimedia device. That’s great on paper, but how is it in the real world?
Technical Highlights
Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread)
4.3” 540×960 qHD display (TFT LCD)
1700mAh battery capacity
NVIDIA Tegra 2 Dual Core, 1GHz
1GB of RAM
16GB of internal storage, microSD slot
8 Megapixel Camera
5.00 x 2.63 x 0.48 inches, 158g (5.55oz).
External Design
The Photon 4G is a nice looking phone that uses a new Motorola design, which looks much more modern than the recently reviewed Droid X2. On the front, you can mainly see the display glass and bezel, along with the Photon 4G metallic frame (no carrier logo, phew). This is a construction model that both Samsung and LG have used successfully. It allows phones to be very rigid, while not using an all-metal casing, which makes it possible to have lightweight devices.
However the Photon 4G is not particularly light, or thin. At 158g, the phone is a little heavy and with a 12.2mm thickness, it is significantly thicker than the thinnest Android phone: The Galaxy S2 (8.49mm). However, there’s a crowd out there that likes phones that weighs a bit more, and feels “solid” in the hand. I’m not really part of this group, but I can relate to it. Most of the time, folks who like those heavier phones point out devices like the HTC Sensation (read our HTC Sensation review).
On the sides, you can find the USB and micro HDMI ports (left), the volume and camera shutter buttons (right) and finally, the audio port (3.5mm jack) and the power button (top). Having the micro-USB port at the upper-left makes it a bit better when using the phone while charging as the cable doesn’t really get in the way when you are holding the phone. This is good.
The back of the phone is made of a plastic that has a “leathery” feel. The 8 Megapixel camera module is pretty obvious, along with the 2-LED flashlight (that can be used as a light for video recording too). There’s an integrated kickstand (like the “old” HTC EVO 4G) that is very convenient for watching media files, or just let the phone charge. Motorola made sure that the phone can stand on either left or right side. Smart.
In this position, you can use the USB and HDMI ports at the top
Display
Just like the Motorola Atrix before it The Photon 4G has a qHD display (960×540) – this seems to be more common these days, even if high-end smartphones like the Galaxy S 2 still use a 800×480 display. On the paper, this is a definite advantage, although in the real world, I can see the subpixel pattern, and it decreases the image quality .
Right: this is a magnified photo, but it shows the pattern that I'm seeing
This is visible only when my eyes are closer than 15” from the display – or when I’m looking at something with small details like grass or leaves, so it’s usually not a problem unless I’m staring at something. I mention it, because other displays like the Sensation 4G or the iPhone 4 don’t exhibit this.
Other than that, the display is very nice. The color rendering seems fairly accurate (unlike most of the OLED/AMOLED displays that I have tested) and looking at beautiful images or video will be very pleasing, especially if you look straight at the screen.
The display... in a difficult lighting environment
In today’s market the display is good, but there are better competitors out there. If you don’t mind over-saturated colors, OLED are better in contrast and saturation, while IPS displays are better in every way, but they are a rare breed. Recently, the LG Optimus 2X and the iPhone 4 were the only two phones with IPS displays that we had on hand.
Basic functions
Call audio quality: the quality of the sound during calls is very good, although I think that this had more to do with the network quality than the earpiece. The voice signal was stable and the connection seemed very solid during conversations. The sound itself was good, but just a bit muffled. The Nexus S remains the clearest of all phones in my opinion. 10.3
MotoBlur: The Photon 4G comes with MotoBl.
I'd love to be able to not have that dark halo. In broad daylight, a dark screen is just not very readable
Lockscreen: Despite running on the same hardware, the Photon 4G lock screen has a faster response than the Droid X2. This means that I don’t have this weird moment when I wonder if I had pressed the power button properly or not. That said, Motorola is still using a dark background, which fine indoors, but not very readable in direct sunlight. It would be nice if the user could tweak this.
Webtop: Webtop is Motorola’s desktop environment that turns on as soon as you connect the Photon 4G to a TV/monitor via HDMI. Yes, you read that right, this phone can turn into computer complete with a desktop version of Firefox._11<<
This utility could be handy
Motorola Media Link: Out of the box, Android doesn’t really have much when it comes to synchronizing the files between your computer and your smartphone. Media Link is a utility (for Windows) that synchronizes media files and contacts from a computer to the Photon 4G. Music files can be synchronized from iTunes or Windows Media Player, while photos and video are simply synchronized from a directory. Contacts can come from Outlook or Windows Mail. [Media link homepage]
Critical apps
During my discussions with all kinds of users, I have noticed that these are some of the most critical apps that users can’t go without, so I would to give you a quick shout about how they run on this phone.
This keyboard is too slow: fast response time is critical for typing performance
Virtual keyboard (below-average): the default virtual keyboard has a simple and readable design. However, it would have been better with a bit more contrast between the background and the keys (the background is basically too light-colored). However, its weak point is the response from a key press and the visual cues that appear on screen (letter, suggested keywords).
This is key because although you probably won’t type fast enough to outpace the keyboard, the slow response may get you to focus on the previous action instead of just focusing on the next letter or word.
Keyboards on devices like the LG Optimus 3D, the iPhone 4 are faster, but today, nothing beats Windows Phone 7 in terms of keyboard responsiveness in my opinion (I tried on the Samsung Focus).
Fortunately, there is a second option... Swype!
Swype Virtual Keyboard (very good): Swype is a much better, keyboard option. It has fortunately been pre-loaded on the Photon 4G._14<<
Email (excellent): The Photon 4G offers a very good email experience whether it is through the Email app or via GMail. I’m using the former, to connect to a Microsoft Exchange server, and it has been working flawlessly. I particularly like:
- The ability to multi-select emails right away, as it’s great for quick content curation. Deleting stuff in bulk also cuts down on the number of network connections, thus saving battery life.
- The speedy email search. Believe it or not, plenty of Android phones out there don’t even have an email search function
- The integrated email “voice search”, which can be handy
- The high-contrast, clear, readable, email display. I consider white background and black text to be the best setup for reading email, especially in broad daylight. Some manufacturers, like Samsung, choose a black background and don’t let users switch colors.
The social widgets let you see and interact quickly
Facebook (very good): On the Motorola Photon 4G, for Android is the kind of the hill
Maps:, which sounds really cool. Yet, it doesn’t work on the Photon 4G and many other phones. I’ll have to try it with the Nexus S… [keep up with the Google Mobile blog]
Skype: Skype is one of the most popular communication application, and yet, it has historically been lagging on Android. Fortunately, the past few revisions have brought long-awaited features like video calls… BUT, this particular handset does not support Skype video at the moment. Audio calls (and text chat) work fine, though. [Android Market link]
Photo and Video Capture
Photography is evolving slowly @ Motorola
First of all, I have uploaded some photo samples to the Ubergizmo Flickr account, so check them out.
The Motorola Photon 4G is equipped with a 8 megapixel camera and dual-LED Flash. While this may sound pretty “bad ass”, the Photon is unfortunately not a killer camera phone. In broad daylight, it does fairly well – but so do most smartphones today. However, it lacks the continual focus that the iPhone has had for a while, and phones like the Sensation 4G now feature on Android.
The panorama user interface is simply bad. Check LG's Optmus 2X for this.
Also, the panorama mode, a feature popular with Tegra-based phones, is implemented terribly. I’m not sure what happened because LG had a very good one in the Optimus 2X. This is clearly a camera application issue. Normally, the previous and next photos of a panorama should be surperimposed so that you can align them properly. This is not the case here. It is as if Motorola was only using the accelerometer (motion sensor) data to figure out when to take the next shot as the user moves. In any case, this is highly inaccurate and counter-intuitive. The other phone that does this very well is the upcoming Galaxy S 2 (review coming up), so this is quickly becoming a competitive area.
For casual photos sharing, the Photon 4G's low-light performance is not great
Finally, the Motorola Photon 4G’s low-light capture abilities are just not good enough. I’ve compared it with the 13-months old iPhone 4, and there’s no question that the Photon 4G gets blown out of the water. We will never say it enough: higher megapixel count doesn’t matter nearly as much as low-light photography, especially when it comes to mobile phones. People share photos over the web, so smaller images are actually better (I consider 1024×768 to be “small”). There’s no point in sending a dark and fuzzy 3000×2500 pixels photo to Facebook.
It may sound harsh, but I truly believe that Motorola needs to change the camera app in a big way. People need to see what the final photo will look like before they shoot it, so doing as much real-time focusing and processing as possible is required. It’s even more frustrating because the phone has the horsepower to do it.
Entertainment / Play (Very good)
Gaming (excellent): The Motorola Photon 4G comes with one of the most powerful gaming smartphone chips, so gaming is one of the strong points of this device. If you want to check out the latest games that are optimized for this hardware platform, you can download TegraZone, an application from NVIDIA that highlights titles that run better on its chip.
Video Playback: The Photon 4G does an excellent work at decoding 1080p videos, and you can even plug the phone on a large TV to play video files in all their glory. Now, the hardest part is to find (legitimate) video content as Google does not have a video store. You may think “Youtube” or “Netflix”, but the former won’t stream 1080p content to a smartphone, and the latter does not work at this point. Don’t even mention Hulu… So, yes, the Photon 4G is great at video playback — if you can find (compatible) video content. Windows video files won’t work out of the box, but you should be able to fin apps on the Android Market that will play those back.
HDMI Output: I just mentioned the TV output, and that’s thanks to the micro HDMI port. Keep in mind that as soon as you’re connected to a display/TV, you can choose to enter a “media mode” in which the interface is optimized to play media files. It is possible to connect directly with a cable, or using the multimedia dock – the difference being that the dock has two additional full-size USB ports that are handy if you want to plug a mouse+keyboard, and the dock gives you access to Webtop, the desktop environment based on Linux.
Despite being in the back of the phone, the speaker provides an excellent sound (for a smartphone)
Speaker Quality (excellent): I found the speaker quality to be very good. I tried playing a song with clear vocals so that I could judge the quality of the sound and -for a smartphone- this is top notch. It does as well as the best: iPhone 4, Atrix, LG Optimus 2X.
Like all smartphones, the quality of the sound is also related to the location of the speakers. Virtually every setup has pro and cons. For instance, the iPhone and Optimus 2X both have speakers located at the bottom, which give them an advantage compared to practically all phones with rear-speakers. However, when playing games in the landscape position your hand may land just on top of the speakers, which is bad. The Motorola Photon 4G does not have this issue because it is located in the back of the phone, and Motorola has managed to come up with a design that still provides good audio. If you are listening to music, orient the speaker towards you, or lay the phone down on a table, speaker facing up.
Gallery App (very good):.
The local library shows both photos and movies, and if you have a lot of them, there is a media file search bar. That of course assumes that the files are named in a meaningful way, which is often not the case when coming out of the camera. HTC had introduced location-based file naming as a default scheme. Maybe that would be a good idea. At least you could search for something like “san francisco” or “london”.
System Performance (Excellent)
Overall, the Motorola Photon 4G has very good system performance. This is not surprising, given that it is powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 processor. In the chart, you will see that many handsets using this chip lead the synthetic benchmarks (Atrix, Optimus 2X, Droid X2 etc…). Photon 4G does very well, and is very close from the best players out there. If you have been following the smartphone news, you will notice that all the four leaders in those benchmarks are using the Tegra 2 chip..
. Surprisingly, the Photon 4G does not do as well as other Tegra-powered phones. The reason is still a mystery to me. Even if we take into account the extra screen resolution, I would expect the Photon 4G to match the Droid X2. But yet, there is a 5 frames-per-second (FPS) difference between those two phones over repeated tests.
The CPU Benchmark tries to measure the raw number crunching performance of this smartphone. It’s not really an indicator of how good the user experience is, but it shows how much data the device could process. The Motorola Photon 4G does very well here.
NeoCore graphics benchmark has an interesting outcome: the Tegra-2 smartphones lose to the Qualcomm powered Sensation 4G. Some would say that NeoCore was originally developed by Qualcomm to show their graphics performance, but we’ve been using it for a while, so it’s always nice to compare the results with previous reviews. Neocore doesn’t use the latest OpenGL 2.0 features – but most Android games don’t use them either.
To conclude this section on performance, I would like to remind you that raw performance does not accurately represent the user experience of the phone. It just just a tool to measure how much stress the system can take. If you don’t use any apps that stresses the system, having more performance may not make your life any better. That is why it’s important to try understanding what you want to do with the smartphone, before getting one, if that’s possible at all…
Battery Life (Good)
Overall, the battery life is fairly good, but not the best out there – despite the huge 1700mAh battery. Yet, for my personal usage (see context), I can get about 1.5 days of usage. That said, this will vary considerably depending on your own usage. Little things, like having a poorly optimized social network app or widget, can ruin your battery life.
I’ve measured the battery life depletion of a few typical power-hungry apps to give you an idea of what they would “cost” in terms of battery life percentage:
Gaming for 30mn: 10%
Browsing for 30mn: 10%
YouTube Movie for 30mn: 10%
I’m very surprised that 30mn of gaming would only take only 10% of battery life, but that’s the reading I got, so here it is. I’ve already seen other phones using 10% for 30mn of browsing and YouTube, so there is not surprise here. Also, I’m not sure that you could perform these activities for 300mn (or 5hrs) as those numbers would suggest (assuming that battery depletion is linear, which it often is). Here are some tips to improve your Android battery life.
Test conditions: display brightness set to 50%, no sound (for my own sanity), WiFi ON, Bluetooth OFF, GPS OFF.
Conclusion (Good++)
Overall, I would say that the Motorola Photon 4G is a “good to very good” phone, depending on what you are looking for. I found the experience to be pleasing, although a couple of things did get to me: the size and the photo quality. The size (or weight) may not be a problem for many people, but I found the Sensation 4G to have comparable (although not equal) capabilities into a smaller body. As for the camera app and photo quality, some users may not use it as much, or care as much. That’s really up to you to decide.
But if those points don’t matter much to you, the Motorola Photon 4G is really nice to use for emails, web browsing or gaming. It’s not perfect, but it is one of the most powerful smartphones on the market today and certainly the fastest Android phone available with Sprint. If you are carrier agnostic, I would recommend looking at the Atrix (AT&T), Droid Incredible 2 (Verizon), Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) and obviously, the iPhone 4, although the next iPhone should come out next month or so…
The Photon 4G is a cool phone, but Motorola needs to kick it up a notch in terms of on industrial design, and imaging capabilities. The competition is brutal out there.

The hallowed hallways of a university or other prestigious institutions of higher learning are meant to equip us with the knowledge required to pursue the area of interest that has bugged us since we were a kid, although many of us do work at a job which is totally unrelated to the course that we majored in. At the University of Southern California, it seems that a new course known as “Glass Journalism” is all set for the fall semester, where students are required to figure out the various ways that journalists are able to “tell” stories thanks to the wonders of augmented reality and Google Glass.
This is definitely a future forward move, as it remains a first-of-its-kind class for USC. Web-journalism professor Robert Hernandez does believe that this particular class would be able to offer a rare opportunity for journalism in order to remain one step ahead of a budding technology trend. Hernandez figured out that journalists have too long been followers instead of the trailblazers as they were supposed to be, and this class might just give the journalism industry a chance for the future.
Hernandez shared, “As someone who hijacks technology for journalism, I want to be proactive about shaping what journalism will look like on this. This platform is so new, no one has defined what journalism looks like on there. It’s such an opportunity for the journalism industry to jump on there.” He expects around a dozen students to join this class when it opens up.

With gratitude,:
Very thought provoking post. The older I get the more I am aware of how I present my self to people. It's not only what I say but how I love out what I say on a daily bases.
Thinking back to the early days of my Christianity, I cringe. Sometimes, even as a mature Christian, I do or say things that I know are disappointing to God and his message. It doesn't happen as often, but the fact that they happen at all makes me feel defeated. The mistakes certainly keep me humble! Especially when I go to God to confess my sins...usually the same ones. :/
I love taking time to read your blog posts. You are always so real, so faithful, so loving. I've sworn I will stand in this "hallway" and be thankful for it...challenging, for sure, but thankful nonetheless.
I so believe this, June, and God has really been speaking to my heart about how I live out my faith in front of non-believers especially. But really in all situations. My husband and I are dealing with a family issue and the struggle comes in the choices we make versus what we know is the right choice in God's eye. Because are choices almost always have an impact on others. Will we portray Christ? It's convicting. Thank you for sharing. Love you much. xoxo
Sometimes I wish people were not watching. But you're right--they are, and we need to keep that in mind. Thankful for God's grace!
Beautiful thoughts. We talked about something very similar at our Bible Study this morning. - Your leaf photo is just gorgeous.
Amen. I have experienced this and know that I may be the ONLY image of Christ that some people may ever see. Yes, I fail, too. It is in the way we come back from failure that others see too, the words we say, the apologies, the asking for forgiveness, etc., that can make such a difference too. The Scriptures you use here, June, are great examples. So thankful that I came by from The Weekend Brew. | 436 |
Winter Wonderland

As well as concealing countless drug dealers, Hasenheide Park contains many other hidden gems, such as… whatever this is. We suppose that, when temperatures reach positive Celsius, this turns into a fountain, but beyond that, your guess is as good as ours. What is clear though is that, during winter, it takes on an otherworldly aspect which makes for wonderful photos. Enjoy.
Great photos; especially love the leaves beneath the icy water.
Please add Google+ button, thanks!
I must say, as a nihilist, I pretty like your blog.
We will definitely add this when we come to redesign the site!
These pictures together create a wonderful atmosphere that somehow reminds me of ice and fairy tales and Snow Queens … Beautiful pictures, Zoe!
Thanks Nancy! Glad you like. | 169 |

Chemistry, Materials
TAMI Industries of France is a leader in filtration technology and a specialist in advanced ceramic membranes used across a wide range of industries: the company is looking for partners in the UK, where it wants to develop its business. TAMI Industries already has subsidiaries in Germany, North America, China and Mexico, with 90% of its sales coming from exports.
The ceramic membranes developed by TAMI Industries are a high-performance product with elevated permeability, wide-range selectivity, superior mechanical resistance, and high chemical/thermal stability. TAMI Industries is currently seeking partners in the UK for the promotion and the technical support of its range of products and technologies.
TAMI Industries’ R&D department is constantly working on the development of new inorganic membranes: this sustained investment in research and development on the part of TAMI Industries has resulted in the design and development of patented high-tech tubular ceramic membranes that have truly unique characteristics.
The advantage of the non-circular filtering channels adopted by TAMI Industries — channels that are geometrically shaped like petals — is that they allow for the optimization of the filtration performance. While maintaining a standard outside diameter of the membrane, the filtration surface area is thus made larger. Additionally, TAMI industries has upgraded to titanium dioxide in the fabrication of its membranes — a material that is bio-compatible, with the added benefit that it is highly resistant to a wide range of chemical agents. At present, TAMI Industries is the only manufacturer capable of producing this type of high-performance ceramic membrane on an industrial scale.
Thanks to such technological advances, it is possible to cut energy costs while reducing exploitation and maintenance costs too. In addition, the dimensions of the membranes developed by TAMI Industries are compatible with all existing installations equipped with ceramic membranes, which allows for the easy upgrading of existing industrial plants: this can be done through the replacement of the existing membranes, or thanks to a retrofitting process.
Among the industrial processes of separation, the use of ceramic membranes has become more and more common in recent years. In spite of accounting for only 10% of the crossflow filtration market worldwide, ceramic membranes are often in competition with organic membranes. However, ceramic membranes have the advantage that they ensure improved performance and durability. It should also be stressed that ceramic membranes have a high resistance to many corrosive chemical solutions and superior tolerance to an array of temperatures and pH values, while providing excellent mechanical resistance to pressure.
Key applications for TAMI Industries’ ceramic membranes can be found across a diverse range of sectors. In the food-and-drink industry, ceramic membranes can be used in the cold debacterialization of milk as well as the fractionation, standardization and concentration of milk proteins and lactoserum (WPI/ WPC). Such membranes are also used in the clarification of juices (made out of fruit or vegetables), wine, cider and sweet juices.
In the pharmaceuticals and bio-industrial sectors, ceramic membranes are essential in the clarification of fermentation broths — for the production of organic acids, antibiotics, enzymes, vitamins, etc. — and in the production of natural extracts from plants, including seaweed.
Finally, in the environmental sector, ceramic membranes are key in the treatment of industrial effluents and, also, in the separation of oily water emulsions. Other applications include the treatment of laundry wastewater and the processing of effluents generated by paper mills, ink-printing processes and the textile industry, among others.
About TAMI Industries
TAMI Industries designs, develops and manufactures industrial inorganic filters (known as membranes) for the separation of molecules contained within liquids by way of fine ultra-filtration, ultra-filtration, and microfiltration. TAMI Industries controls the whole of the filters’ production process, from membrane design to the manufacturing of supports and the application of active filtration layers.
TAMI Industries, which is headquartered in Nyons (South-Eastern France), is a global player in the field of filtration, with 90% of the company’s turnover coming from export markets. TAMI Industries currently has four subsidiaries outside France: in Canada, China, Germany and Mexico. The company is keen to develop its activities in the United Kingdom.

Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad and The Edge Malaysia presented “Ipoh Pergi!” (Go to Ipoh!) in conjunction with the special edition on Ipoh by The Edge and the soft launch of 22 Hale Street’s very own heritage gallery. Attended by about 70 invitees, the exclusive preview was held on Tuesday, July 24 at the gallery.
Present were Tan Sri Lee Oi Hian, CEO of Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad and Ho Kay Tat, Publisher and Group CEO of The Edge Media Group.
When asked on her vision for the heritage gallery, Puan Sri Dato’ Sandra Lee, who initiated and spearheaded the 22 Hale Street project, explained, “To tell stories of the people of Ipoh who made Ipoh what it is today before they are forgotten. Besides that, to provide a community space for people to gather, learn and grow as we are also hiring persons with disabilities and providing more employment opportunities in this space of arts, culture and history.”
“Another objective is to be an encouragement for others to conserve our heritage, both tangible and intangible, in Ipoh,” the tireless philanthropist added.
In this space, one gets to explore Ipoh’s history through photographs, paintings, models and projections. Be sure to check out one of the chambers which displays typical Peranakan furniture as the elaborate embroidery and beadwork on the wedding bed, wedding brocade, wedding slippers and phoenix crown take centre stage.
As the colonial tin and rubber economy boomed, the entrepreneurial tycoons acquired Chinese furniture to dress their mansions. The furniture was often made in China and exported to Chinese diaspora throughout the world. Typically of solid masculine style, sometimes inlaid with glittering mother of pearl, the collection was built as their wealth grew.
The Hale Street project, a gargantuan restoration, is driven by the love of family. It is dedicated to the memory of Sandra’s late father-in-law, Tan Sri Lee Loy Seng, a man of great foresight, wisdom and generosity.
Hale Street itself was named after Abraham Hale, the Inspector of Mines of Kinta in 1885 when Kinta was the epicentre of the tin mining boom. Today, this street is called Jalan Tun Sambanthan and to the locals, Guest Street (Hak Zhan Gaai) as there were many hotels here.
The restaurant called Dong, after the Chinese word for “antique”, is located downstairs featuring an eclectic menu of local flavours. The heritage gallery on the upper level is scheduled to open in August to the public, with an entrance fee of just RM5. For tour booking and latest updates, visit its website:.

20 Useful Tips to Stay Motivated to Exercise
I recently wrote up some tips to stay motivated for weight loss, and now I want to address some helpful tips to stay motivated to exercise. Exercising is, of course, a huge part of reaching and maintaining a healthy body weight. And it’s crucial for continuing good health and high energy levels.
Lack of motivation is a huge hurdle for so many people. My patients tell me all the time about how they start off with positive lifestyle changes with the best of intentions, but somehow the efforts fall by the wayside eventually. It usually doesn’t even take that long for things to taper off, or just stop.
There are plenty of excuses. Not having enough time to exercise is undoubtedly the most common. I always stress the importance of making exercise a routine, rather than simply trying to fit it in here and there when you can. Once workouts are built into your schedule, efforts to improve your fitness get much easier to maintain.
So, since most of us can use a little help in the motivation department from time to time—especially when just starting out with a fitness regimen—take a look at these tips to stay motivated to exercise.
How to Stay Motivated to Exercise
- Consider joining a gym. There are pros and cons, but some of the pros are that paying for membership, all the equipment options, availability of classes and instructors, and the fun atmosphere can be highly motivating.
- Start slowly and build up gradually. Not only is this safer, reducing the chances that you hurt yourself and can’t continue working out—it also helps keep you from becoming de-motivated by overdoing it and feeling bad about yourself.
- Set realistic, short-term workout goals, like walking briskly for 20 minutes every day for a week.
- Make your exercise goals about process (as in the above example), rather than only setting goals that reflect results (like losing 10 pounds).
- While routines and commitments are critical to success, be careful about setting yourself up with absolutes that work against you. For instance, don’t make it so that if you miss Monday morning’s workout, you feel like the whole week’s blown and don’t do any exercising for the rest of the week.
- Vary the types of exercises you do and the locations where you do them to help prevent boredom with your workout routine.
- As part of this variety, combine aerobic and strength-building exercises to keep things interesting, maximize the benefits, and feel as good as possible about your efforts.
- Attend different types of fitness classes. This provides variety and diverse workouts, exposes you to new things you like to do, and helps you meet new friends.
- Buy exercise outfits and put them on. Spending the money on them motivates you to use the clothes. Having designated clothing and getting them on makes you feel more like a “real” exerciser.
- Change your mindset from thinking about workouts as a chore to something positive that’s accomplishing great things for you.
- Jot down how you feel after workouts. You may be physically beat, but mentally and emotionally, you’ll feel good and proud. Remembering this is key to changing your attitude toward exercise and staying motivated in for the long run.
- Remind yourself constantly why you’re doing it. Whether it’s to lose weight, to improve your energy, to manage a health condition, to get off something like a hypertension drug, to be around for your kids longer, or all of the above, never lose sight of your reasons.
- Get yourself a workout partner!
- Hang out with high-energy people who exercise regularly and talk about it enthusiastically.
- Tell someone your fitness plans who’ll keep you accountable, encourage you when you’re struggling, and cheer you on when you’re doing well.
- Consider using a fitness coach. A good one won’t just help you learn proper techniques and get comprehensive workouts—they’ll also be great at keeping you motivated.
- Keep track of your successes, whether it’s in terms of pounds lost, how many more reps you can do now, how much farther or faster you can run now, etc.
- Listen to happy, upbeat music while you work out. It helps keep you going, but it also boosts your mood—and you want to associate exercising with feeling good.
- Give yourself occasional rewards for consistently sticking to your plan. Sure, it can be a food treat every once in a while, but don’t make it all about food; maybe get yourself a massage or take a weekend day off for a Netflix binge.
- Stop obsessing on how you look. While many of us exercise in part to improve our physical appearance, this isn’t always a healthy way to thing about things. Focus on what you’re doing to improve your health and quality of life, feel better, build up your energy, and extend your life. | 986 |

Privileged: A Novel
When Elise Duncan accepts a position as director of health at the Academy of Halcyon Heights, she’s relieved. Working at the prestigious private prep school allows her to be home with her children and critically ill husband during the evenings and over the summer.
Elise quickly discovers the Academy has no guidance counselors. After all, the mere presence of a counselor might attract students with issues. So instead students gravitate to Elise with their problems, by default moving her into the role of confidant. Time and again her young charges reveal how the school puts appearance and donations ahead of a safe and just learning environment.
Elise begins to understand the dynamics at work when she tries to help a student suffering with schizophrenia. There is no problem so compelling that it cannot be ignored, if the wealthy parents demand it. If a substantial donation is on the table, the Academy is willing to turn a blind eye, but there is a price.
When a major scandal hits Halcyon Heights, the school must confront deep-seated assumptions about race, social class, age, and gender. Young lives may be ruined forever in a desperate attempt to preserve the school’s prestigious reputation. Privilege, as Elise is about to discover, has rules all its own. | 258 |

Callum has never been what I would call a stellar sleeper. In fact, he falls perfectly into my theory. A theory that was developed based on my own children (duh.) and has proven true three times over, so is OBVIOUSLY correct. Anyway, the theory goes that babies are either good nappers or good night sleepers, but never both. I've had one good night sleeper and two good nappers, so yeah.
Callum is a good napper. Over his lifetime, he has randomly slept through the night maybe a handful of times. Isla started sleeping through the night at two and a half, so mentally I have been counting down the time until Callum would be two and a half. It's June, in case you were wondering. But then all of the sudden, one beautiful January night, the clouds parted, the moon shone through and Callum slept through the night. And he did it again the next night. And the night after that. For fear of not wanting to jinx it, I didn't say anything to Ian. I was sure he had noticed anyway. And, I know that jinxing isn't really a thing, but it always feels like when I speak something out loud, jinxing happens. Anyway. After a week and a half, I did it. I finally said something to Ian. And we were like, "Oh yeah! Sleep has finally come to us! Our lives are amazing. This is great." Then one whole sleep later, EVERYTHING CHANGED.
I shouldn't have opened my mouth. I know. But I just had to celebrate. What has followed has been three nights of relative torture. The kid isn't just waking in the night, but screaming hysterically, inconsolably for long periods of time. I don't think it's night terrors. Connor had those and they were different. Callum is awake during these periods. Just really pissed off. I knew I shouldn't have said anything!
Someday, when I'm like 60 I'll get to sleep again. And when I do, I vow to take my crappy sleepers of grandchildren relatively often to give my poor children and their spouses a bit of uninterrupted sleep. Because really, the worst part isn't being woken over and over again in the night. It is being woken to a fully awake state, not being able to get back to sleep for two hours, then being reawaken a mere 15 minutes after you last looked at the clock and the whole cycle starting over again.
This kid sure is cute though. And somehow, miraculously, these odd sleep patterns seem to not affect his daytime moods at all. They sure do affect my daytime coffee consumption though. Good thing I know a good coffee guy.

Coming Are
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Coming Arena. The Tennessee Basketball Network will televise the game; CWKYT (Insight cable channel 5) will carry the game in Lexington. The game also will be carried live on the Big Blue Sports Network (radio) with Neil Price.
Kentucky (11-10, 5-2 Southeastern Conference) has been impressive on the road this season as it owns a 4-2 mark overall and a 3-0 record on the opponent?s home court in conference play. It would prove to be a monumental task to upset the Lady Vols on the road as the Wildcats haven?t done it since 1985 and never in Thompson-Boling Arena. UK?s last win in Knoxville was Jan. 23, 1985 in the Stokely Athletics Center. The Lady Vols have won the last 12 meetings in Thompson-Boling against Kentucky, including an 84-62 decision last season.
?The win at Georgia was an amazing night for our program,? UK Coach Matthew Mitchell said. ?Unfortunately, we have to put that game behind us because we have another tough game on the road ahead of us at Tennessee. Obviously we are facing one of the best teams in the country with the best player in the country in Candace Parker. When we played them in Lexington earlier this year I thought we did a lot of great things but we couldn?t find a way to score. Our defense has to be there again Sunday but we also have to get better offensively.?
In the teams? previous meeting on Jan. 17 in Memorial Coliseum, the Wildcats held a hot-scoring Tennessee squad to just 65 points, its lowest scoring output of the season. UK also outrebounded the Lady Vols 36-28 but couldn?t overcome 25 turnovers and a low 31.4 percent (16-of-51) shooting mark from the field. Tennessee shot 50 percent (27-of-54) and scored 19 points off UK?s miscues.
Leading the way for the Wildcats offensively is senior Samantha Mahoney (Detroit). She lead Kentucky in scoring, averaging 13.7 points per game (8th in the SEC). Senior center Sarah Elliott (McKee, Ky.) follows with 11.0 points and is UK?s leading rebounder with 6.4 rebounds per game. Freshman forward Victoria Dunlap (Nashville, Tenn.) is close behind in the rebounding column with 6.0 rpg.
Tennessee is 19-1, 6-0 in the SEC and riding a nine-game winning streak after defeating Ole Miss on the road Thursday, 68-44. The Lady Vols? only loss this season came against No. 5 Stanford in overtime, 73-69.
Tennessee leads the SEC in six different statistical categories, including tops in scoring offense (80.2 ppg) and three-point field goal percentage (.389).
Junior forward Candace Parker leads four Lady Vols in double-digit scoring this season. The All-American also leads the SEC and ranks 10th in the country in scoring, averaging 20.5 points per game. She is pulling down a squad-best 8.6 rebounds a game as well.

What to do with your phone photos today!/
If you're like me, you have several hundreds if not thousands of photos on your phone. I cringe every time I thumb through my photos and think what would happen if I lost my phone today. Or worse, if my 3 year happened to drop it in the toilet when I wasn't looking. Well, here are 5 places to turn your photos into memories that you can enjoy OFF your phone!
1. Social Print Studio
This is the coolest app I found recently on Instagram. You can print your photos in regular 4x6 prints, square, photo booth strips, metal prints, and even albums - just to name a few! You simply download the app, upload photos right from your phone, hit confirm, and you have prints sent right to your door! Shipping is free for orders over $50 or a flat rate of $6.
2. Chatbooks
I recently bought these as gifts for my relatives that I know they have lots of photos to print. These little 6x6 photo books can pack a punch! You can add 30 to 366 photos in one book depending on how many pages you add and they start at only $8! And you can even upgrade to a hardcover album for only $5 more!
3. Shutterfly
Shutterfly has everything and has been around for years. Also found in the App store, you can create prints, albums, calendars, cards, and more. And if you are new to them, sign up for an account today and they will give you 50 free 4x6 prints, 1 magnet, and 1 set of return address labels. They have sales all the time too!!
4. Snapfish
Just like Shutterfly, Snapfish is online and has an app that you can download right to your phone. Create anything you wish! Sign up for their newsletters and they always have a sale going on for free shipping.
5. Mosaic
These 7x7 albums are absolutely amazing! Each linen covered album has 13 precisely machined windows on the front. You select 20 photos from your phone, the mosaic design of 13 of those photos for the front cover, add text to the images inside, then hit order. The best part? You get your album in 4 days!
I challenge you to finally get your photos off your phone and into an album that you and your children will be able to enjoy every day! If you have used one of these apps before and have created an album or other products, I'd love to hear (and SEE!) which one and how much you love it!

Puresense by Soap Opera has been kind enough to send me lot of samples of their heavenly scented soaps and the Puresense By Soap Opera Sleep Inducer.
About Puresense By Soap Opera Sleep Inducer:
This magical spray relaxes the mind & helps induce sleep. Studies have shown that repeated use of this improves the quality of sleep.
It’s an aromatic blend of rosemary, lavender & bergamot, which de-stresses & calms you.
Packaging: Puresense By Soap Opera Sleep Inducer comes in a transparent bottle with a push cap and a cute light blue sticker on the body.
Product: The inducer is transparent and watery with a very mild fragrance
My Experience: Puresense By Soap Opera Sleep Inducer is a product you would love your tired self to be indulged in. The mild fragrance mixed with spicy but subdued notes of rosemary, blended with the floral base of lavender just takes you to a whole new world. The fragrance is light, calm and makes you think of lovely little things like lullabies, cuteness, sweet dreams. A definite reprise after a tired day where you just want to relax and have your own sweet time.
Although it is termed as a sleep inducer, I would not mind using the fragrance for times when I just want some calm moments with me and myself only. It is said to improve the quality of sleep with regular use. I dont face any sleep related problems as such, so I would not be able to tell about this feature. But surely, it relaxes the mind and makes you realize that Aromatherapy actually works. A relaxed and calm mind will make your way to the world of sweet dreams. I have used it in the day time and felt that the fragrance does not stay for a very long time. So, if you want to use it as a daily scent, you may need to re-spray.

2.Has notes of rosemary,lavender & bergamot
3.Relaxes the mind
4.Said to improve sleep quality
5.Easy to use
6.Can be used as a fragrance too
7.Cruelty-free
8.Non-toxic
Cons:
1.The fragrance does not stay for a very long time
Rating: 4.75/5
Puresense By Soap Opera Sleep Inducer is a great product to have with you. Even if you are not keen enough to try a sleep inducing agent, you can just get it to use as a mild everyday fragrance. The soft notes of lavender and rosemary are definitely going to take you to the starry world of dreams. A Star product from Puresense by Soap Opera.

Happy Saturday!! This is another idea Trish and I came up with using the Pick a Petal stamp set. A butterfly made out of the petals stamped in Groovy Guava. I cut a small piece of cardstock to glue the wings down on to, then added the dew drops for the body. I also used wire for the antennaes. The verse if from Sparkle n Sprinkle. The pattern paper is some Trish had.
Short and Sweet today....take care.

This is the living room of a Tudor revival home I photographed recently. The space around the fireplace was a little crowded, but I was working alone and the furniture was heavy (and the lovely floors did not need new scratches!), so rearranging things wasn't an option. Still, I thought the fireplace was deserving of some extra attention, so I zoomed in tighter for this vignette shot. I just love the detail in that stonework. Or are those tiles or bricks? I'm really not sure...does anyone reading this happen to know? | 112 |
Upcountry, UMPI’s online literary journal, publishes Fall/Winter 2011 issue
The staff of the University of Maine at Presque Isle's online literary journal Upcountry has finished its last round of editing and the latest issue is now available for viewing in an interactive new format.
Dedicated to showcasing poems, short stories, personal essays and visual art from the campus community, Upcountry is a publication of the University's English Program. It is published twice yearly.
The journal's advisor, Dr. Melissa Crowe, said that this year, the staff decided to make the leap to a more interactive format to give viewers a more hands-on reading experience. The journal appears in a browsable magazine format through a digital publishing platform called Issuu. The platform allows pages of uploaded print material to be viewed much like a traditional printed publication, with animated, flipping pages and left-to-right page viewing.
Crowes said, "Flipping the pages of Upcountry in its new format is both an intellectual and tactile pleasure. The staff is thrilled with the final product, which truly showcases the fine work of UMPI students."
The Fall/Winter 2011 issue of Upcountry features the work of 18 writers, poets and artists. Works range from Lila Albert's essay "Back to Godhead" and Andrew Bellamy's poem "Going Downstate No. 1" to Anthony Scott's story "The Great Buford Family Crisis of 2010" and Cassie Green's poem "Stealing from a Beggar".
"Honestly, we were overwhelmed with the caliber of the submissions we received this semester, and the work included in the issue makes me proud to be associated with these students and alumni. I can't wait to see what comes over the transom in the spring," said Crowe.
This year's student editors are Mika Ouellette and Barat Qualey. The Upcountry staff will host a reading/launch party for the issue during the Spring 2012 semester.
