(Also posted to bitsquid.blogspot.com.)
Putting some of the power of programming into the hands of artists and designers can be a great thing. When they can customize the behavior of an object directly, without making the roundtrip through a programmer, there is a lot more room for experimentation and iteration. As a result you get better looking things with more interesting interactions.
Plus, if the artists do their own damn programming it means less work for me, so everybody wins.
Of course I don’t expect artists to actually program, but rather to use tools that expose that power, such as shader graphs, visual scripting systems, or — the topic of this post — expression languages.
By an expression language I mean a tiny little programming language that can be used to (and only used to) write one-line mathematical expressions, such as:
sin(t) + 0.1 * cos(10 * t)
So it is a really simple little calculator language. Simpler than Lisp. Simpler than Forth. (Well maybe not, but simpler than trying to teach artists Lisp or Forth.) This simplicity has two advantages. First, it makes it easier to write and understand the expressions. Second, it makes it possible to compute the expressions efficiently, which is important, because it allows us to use them in more places without worrying too much about the performance or memory costs.
The expression language can be used to replace static values where we want the artist to be able to specify more unique behaviors. Some examples:
- In the particle system it can be used to script complicated custom particle behaviors that are hard to produce with other types of controllers.
- In the animation system it can be used to compute the play speed and blend values of animations based on controller variables.
- In the physics system it can be used to define custom force fields to achieve special effects, such as tornados, explosions or whirlwinds.
Computing the Expressions
Since the expressions are so simple, usually not more than a few operators, we need to be able to evaluate them with as little overhead as possible. Otherwise, the overhead will dominate the execution cost. This means that we should use a simple design, such as a stack-based virtual machine. That may sound complicated, but the concepts are really quite simple. What it means is that we convert our expression to a sequence of operations that pushes or pops data from a computation stack. So our example from above:
sin(t) + 0.1 * cos(10 * t)
Gets converted into:
t sin 0.1 10 t * cos * +
Here t pushes the value of the variable t to the stack. sin pops the top value from the stack, computes it and pushes the result to the stack. 0.1 pushes the value 0.1 to the stack. + pops two values from the stack, adds them together and pushes the result to the stack. * works the same way. If you go through the operations in the example you see that it computes the same result as the original expression.
This way of writing expressions is called Reverse Polish notation (RPN) or postfix notation and it’s the basis for the programming language Forth.
If we examine the issue, we see that we really just need three types of operations in our byte code:
- PUSH_VARIABLE
- pushes the content of a variable to the stack
- PUSH_FLOAT
- pushes a floating point number to the stack
- COMPUTE_FUNCTiON
- pops the arguments of the stack, computes the result and pushes it to the stack
- END
- marks the end of the byte code
For simplicity I use 32 bits for each bytecode word. The upper 8 bits specify the type of the operation and the lower 24 bits is the data. For a variable the data is the index of the variable in a variable list. When compiling the bytecode you specify a list of variable names: {“t”, “x”}. And when executing you specify a corresponding list of variable values: {0.5, 20.1}. Similarly, for COMPUTE_FUNCTION, the data is an index into a function table. For PUSH_FLOAT we need an extra code word to hold the data, since we want 32 bit floats.
We can now write the function that runs the virtual machine, it is not much code at all:
Compiling the Byte Code
Compiling an expression involves three phases, tokenizing the data to a stream of input symbols, transforming that stream from infix to postfix notation and finally generating the byte code from that.
Tokenization means matching the identifiers in the expressions against a list of variable names and function names. We can also support contants that get converted to floats directly in the tokenization process. That is useful for things like pi.
The tokenization process converts our sample expression to something like this:
{ sin, (, t, ), +, 0.1, *, cos, (, 10, *, t, ) }
Now we need to convert this to infix notation. One way would be to write a full blown yacc parser with all that entails, but for this kind of simple expressions we can get away with something simpler, such as Dijkstra’s Shunting Yard algorithm.
I actually use an even simpler variant that doesn’t support right-associative operators, where I just process the input tokens one by one. If the token is a value or a variable I put it directly in the output. If the token is a function or an operator I push it to a function stack. But before I do that, I pop all functions with higher precedence from the function stack and put them in the output. Precedence takes parenthesis level into account, so a + nested in three parentheses has higher precedence than a * nested in two.
Let us see how this works for our simple example:
Constant Folding
To further improve efficiency we may want to distinguish the cases where the users have actually written an expression (such as “sin x”) from the cases where they have just written a constant (“0.5”) or a constant valued expression (“2*sin(pi)”). Luckily, constant folding is really easy to do in an RPL expression.
After tokenizing and RPL conversion, the expression “2 * sin(pi)” has been converted to:
2 3.14159265 sin *
We can constant fold a function of arity n if the n argument that preceedes it are constants. So in the sample above we can constant fold sin to:
2 3.14159265 sin *
2 0 *
Continuing, we can fold *
2 0 *
0
If we end up with a constant expression, the byte code will used be a single PUSH_FLOAT operation. We can detect that and bypass the expression evaluation all together for that case.
Source Code
If you want to start playing with these things you can start with my expression language source code.

An Unhappy Anniversary
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email..).
A 'nonfunctioning city': A White House " Fact Sheet" released in advance of Katrina's one-year anniversary notes that FEMA has provided $5.6 billion to repair and replace damaged public infrastructure. But Gulf Coast Recovery coordinator Donald E. Powell has admitted that nearly a third of the trash in New Orleans has yet to be picked up. Sixty percent of New Orleans homes still lack electricity and just 66 percent of public schools have reopened. Only 17 percent of the city's buses are operational, causing severe problems for the many residents who don't own cars -- "a major factor in the government's failure to evacuate residents before the storm." "Look at what we're getting in terms of services," said Janet Howard of the Bureau of Governmental Research, a nonprofit group in New Orleans. " It's basically a nonfunctioning city." Crime has risen again in New Orleans -- the homicide rate is nearly 10 times the national average -- but only seven of 13 courtrooms have reopened and judges have a backlog of nearly 7,000 cases. A recent report by the Department of Justice found that in New Orleans, "justice is simply unavailable." But where the federal, state, and local governments have been absent, citizen activism has surged in the wake of the storm, " chipping away at some of this city's unhealthy institutions." Many schools -- formerly in " the control of a corrupt district office" -- are now being managed by parents and community activists as charter schools, and newcomers are pushing for reform and tighter ethics in the city council.
Poverty forgotten: One of the president's boldest promises after Hurricane Katrina was his promise to fight poverty nationwide: ." But as soon as Katrina disappeared from the headlines, " poverty and antipoverty policy disappeared once again from the public agenda." Most recently, the Senate voted down a minimum wage increase because the conservative leadership, in a political ploy, tied it to a cut in inheritance taxes on multimillion-dollar estates. The federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 1996 and eight million Americans continue to live on $5.15 an hour. Since Bush took office, the number of Americans living in poverty has increased by 5.4 million and an additional 1.4 million children fell into poverty between 2000 and 2004. The poverty rates for African-Americans and Hispanics ( 23 percent) continues to be far higher than the poverty rate for whites (8.6 percent). While Bush did follow through on his promise to create Gulf Opportunity Zones -- tax incentives for regional business development -- Alter notes that they have become "mostly an opportunity for Southern companies owned by GOP campaign contributors to make some money in New Orleans." To date, Congress has taken no action on Bush's call for Worker Recovery Accounts, which would provide $5,000 for evacuees seeking education and job training, or on the Urban Homesteading Act, which would provide free building sites via a lottery to low-income evacuees.
More ailments, less medical care: Health care is an increasing problem in the post-Katrina Gulf Coast. The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals estimated that " New Orleans has lost half of its physicians and suffers from a shortage of 1,000 nurses." Forty-four percent of adult caregivers now lack health coverage and "34 percent of children in FEMA-subsidized communities have at least one chronic health condition that requires treatment, but half of the affected children no longer have a medical provider." Even though the population of New Orleans is at less than half of its pre-storm population, the suicide rate has tripled and there is no capacity to deal with mental health and substance abuse problems. The people of New Orleans are also suffering from a lack of hospitals and the inability to receive immediate care from emergency rooms.
Federal waste and mismanagement: The federal mismanagement of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath has permanently damaged Bush's approval rating. White House counselor Dan Bartlett recently said, "It was a setback at the time, but it was recoverable and has been." But the American public disagrees. Bush's approval rating before Katrina was at 60 percent. Immediately after the hurricane hit, it fell to 52 percent and in mid-Sept. 2005, it dropped to 49 percent. It is now at just 36 percent. Sixty-six percent of the American public (and 84 percent of New Orleans residents) rate the government's recovery efforts negatively, according to a recent ABC News poll. A June Government Accountability Office report found that between $600 million and $1.4 billion in taxpayer dollars has been wasted on " improper and potentially fraudulent individual assistance payments." Payments went to Katrina evacuees to pay for items such as Dom Perignon champagne, New Orleans Saints season tickets and adult-oriented entertainment. A recent report by the House Committee on Government Reform found that 19 Katrina contracts -- worth $8.75 billion -- " experienced significant overcharges, wasteful spending or mismanagement."
Levees not ready: Yesterday, Powell said, "I believe that the levees are ready for hurricane season. ... The levees are back to where they were pre-Katrina, and they're on their way to being the best, better and stronger then they have ever been." But Powell's upbeat rhetoric contradicts assessments by the head of the Army Corps of Engineers, who recently expressed skepticism that the New Orleans levees could withstand a hurricane with a heavy storm surge this year. In order for the levees to withstand a Category 5 hurricane and for residents of New Orleans to finally feel safe, another $30 billion will need to be spent. Unfortunately, as the New Orleans Times-Picayune notes, the federal government's "commitment to the long-term protection of South Louisiana is still uncomfortably murky.

The American Dream, or a Nightmare for Black America?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Thirty years after the civil rights era, middle-class African-American families face a grim reality: their kids are far more likely to experience downward mobility in today's economy than they are to move up... In Being Black, Living in the Red, Dal."
Crucial to understanding how that impacts economic mobility is the concept of "intergenerational assistance." That's just a fancy way of saying that your chances to advance economically are very much impacted by whether your family can help with tuition payments, a down payment on a house or seed money to start a business. Conley compares two hypothetical kids -- one from a family with some money and the other without. Both are born with the same level of intelligence, both are ambitious and both work hard in school..

What's internet brand equity? It's a measure of who's talking about you online, based on Internet data, social media, blogs and the top 75,000 print and electronic media outlets. The resulting tool, the group claims, gauges the relative value of the various institutions and how they change over time.
The Global Language Monitor created their ranking system in order to eliminate what they described as inherent bias in the other published ranking systems. Rather than emphasizing the opinions of college deans, high school guidance counselors and the ratio of the endowment to the number of students, GLM believes their method reflects the opinion of the world at large.
January 5, 2011
"The University of Wisconsin at Madison beat out the University of Chicago and Harvard to be the top national university by internet brand equity."
Internet brand equity, baby! You hear that? We're #1!

The real humor is that anyone thinks those things have anything to do with the quality of a school.
Judging from the picture it appears that Wisconsin's "brand equity" took a major boost from their football team.
Perhaps Chicago should apply to rejoin the Big Ten? Maybe Harvard could dip into its endowment for a big-time basketball coach and petition to join the Big East for basketball purposes? It's not that Harvard doesn't have a catalog full of gut courses that the basketball players could take to keep their eligibility.
UW is a breeding ground for CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, coming in at #4 in the country. .
However, like the CBO, you could also argue that UW is dead last, if that's what helps you get through the day.
Hey, you may have beat out Harvard and the University of Chicago in internet brand equity, but I'd rather have TCU's football team.
How odd that outside the Ivies, MIT, UC, and Berkley, that the winners of a popularity contest based on volume are schools with large alumni bases.
It's almost as surprising as a Big 10 team being ranked #1 in September.
Freeman, of course, is right. If the product doesn't measure up, all the marketing in the world won't save it.
PS Considering how badly managed a lot of US companies are, maybe the breeding ground needs a little work.
Hey, DKW, we did beat the spread.
I blame football.
Perhaps they have a prominent blogger posting stories about them occasionally.
There might be an "Althouse Effect" at work. And for University of Chicago, ChicagoBoyz might help give them a bump. The five Ivies on the list are Ivies, and people who attended Ivy league schools make a point to use every available opportunity to remind people that they attended an Ivy.
A little surprised that of the UCs, Berkeley made the top ten and UCLA didn't, but then, negative buzz is still buzz, and the methodology mentioned doesn't seem to sort bad buzz from good, and plenty of folks use Berzerkley as their go-to campus for highlighting nutty leftiness.
MIT is MIT, and interesting stuff is always bubbling out of there, bet CalTech games the next survey to knock MIT down and put themselves on top.
If Bristol Palin really ends up attending ASU, expect them to suddenly jump up this brand equity list, as the haters are going to hate, and the supporters are going to support.
Wisconsin is highly respected, but do its graduates break down and cry for the love of their school when its undefeated football team wins the Rose Bowl? Man cannot live on respect alone.
...but TCU won!
So it does pay to sue podunk high schools for using a W in the wrong font. Noted.
"Wisconsin is highly respected, but do its graduates break down and cry for the love of their school when its undefeated football team wins the Rose Bowl?"
You're suggesting football isn't a big deal to people at the University of Wisconsin?

The Altus City Planning Commission was set to meet again at 4 p.m. today in City Council Chambers for a public hearing to rezone the 1200-1310 block of N. Park Lane near Falcon Road, as proposed by owner of Falcon Terrace L.L.C., Michael K. Duffy. However, some nearby residents are opposed.
The Planning Department has recommended that City Council approve the ordinance to rezone the tract of land from a Suburban Commercial to an Auto Urban Commercial classification.
Of the 86 property owners within 300 feet of the tract, six residents have called to issue a complaint, two residents have submitted letters of opposition as well as the English Village Ownership Association, and a petition of 23 signatures have all been submitted to stop the rezoning proposal.
The tract of land, formerly a mobile home park, is also the proposed site for an air medical response team, Air Evac Lifeteam of West Plains, Mich., expected to have a helicopter pad, an office building, and an above ground fuel tank. Having a medivac would mean speedy transportation by air lift rather than ambulance to a medical facility, and also coordination with other medical teams in the area to include Jackson County EMS and Jackson County Memorial Hospital.
Those opposed to this possible outcome believe that the values of their property will go down for being in a commercially used helicopter flight path and for excessive noise during take off and landing. Having an above ground fuel tank has raised the question on safety. There is also a concern for the quality of life for nearby nursing home residents and veteran residents in the area who might suffer from PTSD.
City Council will meet tonight at 6:30 to consider this and other items on the consent agenda.

Always in Season Farmstead Vacation Rental and Retreat
Enjoy the spirit of aloha in this private setting with gorgeous flower and edible gardens accompanies by magnificent views of the ocean and the nearby island of Maui.
Always in Season Farmstead is truly a memorable experience. The property is situated at 1500 feet on three stunning acres at the top of beautiful Maliu Ridge, above the quaint town of Hawi. We are upcountry and have a bit cooler, more delightful climate than the hotter coastline. The landscape is blessed with picturesque views of rolling green pasture dotted with horses and sheep until the land meets the sea, with a full view of Maui in the distance.
The plants love to grow here year-round, and the fruit orchard and our gardens are glorious. We have fifteen varieties of citrus trees, six varieties of avocados, and many other exotic edibles including papaya and bananas. Orchids, bromeliads, and other ornamental plants grace the property for you to enjoy.
The accommodations include an over-sized bedroom with a private bath, fully-equipped kitchen area, lovely outdoor courtyard, garden setting, and an outstanding view. There is also a sitting room we call the Tea Room, which is adjacent to the accommodations with a computer and library for your use. You are welcome to harvest whatever you can eat from our orchard and gardens. Cable TV and Wi-Fi Internet access are also included.
Enjoy the slideshow featuring our beautiful property and accommodations:
Take advantage of your hosts, Donna and Kevin. We have had years of experience on the island and will share the special jewels of the Big Island with you. Aloha awaits you. During your stay, we can arrange for additional adventures. You can choose from a variety of activities such as massage, yoga, dancing, hiking, swimming in the ocean, snorkeling, scuba diving, dolphin quests, amazing hikes, healing horseback riding excursions, zip lining, farm and garden tours, eco tours, ATV tours, and a visit to our outstanding Saturday farmers market. Hawi is known for great restaurants, talented artists, and exquisite galleries.
Of course, you can always just hang out and read, write, paint, or meditate in any of our lovely sitting areas around the property. During your stay, you can choose to enjoy a Farm-to-Table Meal or even one of our culinary classes. We also offer weekend and week-long culinary retreats.
We hope you choose to come experience Always in Season Farmstead and the bounty and beauty it has to offer you. Enjoy a smoothie under a palm tree or in the comfort of your lovely accommodation, watch the sunset disappear into the ocean, or just rest, relax, and rejuvenate and enjoy the richness of what North Kohala has to offer.
Please give us a call or email us if you would like additional information. We look forward to helping you plan a memorable vacation or culinary retreat.

(Bumped from FanPosts. --Eric)
---
I spent most of Friday battling a stomach bug, pretty unsure whether I'd make it out to the ballpark in time to catch the Savannah Sand Gnats battle the Rome Braves. Luckily, the game was delayed slightly due to some passing showers in the Rome area so I made it before the Sand Gnats pitcher, Erik Goeddel, started warming up in the bullpen. I always enjoy watching guys work in the pen before the game. As you can see in the video that I posted below, he takes his time to gather a feel for his pitches.
Fast Forward to Game action. Erik didn't disappoint. He was seemingly in control the entire game, reaching his first 3 ball count in the 7th inning. In fact, from information I obtained from an anonymous source, this was the first game that Erik reached the 7th inning as a starter since Erik was in high school. If you don't know the story, he battled elbow injuries in high school and college, having a torn elbow ligament repaired while at UCLA. He is a tall, lanky kid who has room to grow and pack on some muscle.
Change Up: The least of his offerings, it isn't a terrible pitch. If anything, it provided Erik with a change of pace, to keep hitters off of his fastball. The arm action was okay but the difference in velocity was good.
Slider: His best offering. The movement on this pitch is unfair for the opposition. The pitch started in the zone but ending up sweeping abusively low and out of the zone. This pitch, followed by the sinker, was simply unfair to the opposition. I don't have a velocity reading for the slider but I would guess it sits in the mid 80s.
Curveball: The best single pitch thrown all evening was a Curveball to Braves prospect Edward Salcedo. The curveball to Salcedo was perfectly set up after a steady diet of fastballs. A classic 12-6 offering, Erik did not have a good feel and avoided this pitch after the second inning other than the one he spun to Salcedo. Once again, I don't have a velocity reading on this pitch. It was his slowest offering, probably registering in the high 70s.
Erik's final line was 7 innings pitched, 6 hits, 5 strikeouts, 1 HR, 1 run and no walks.
In the video posted below, you will see Erik warm up in the pen prior to the game, some warm ups before the first few innings of the game and some pitches during game action.

The information above is an updated feed of the most current Rolling Hills bundle services. This info permits users to determine recent promotions, packages and prices from available bundle suppliers within the state. What's more, it offers users the details needed to weigh Rolling Hills bundle services against U.S. averages.
The newest report states 2 companies are currently offering bundle packages in Rolling Hills, KY. Between these providers you will find a total of 31 bundle offers and 0 special offers available for purchase.
If you're looking for more information on selecting the best quality bundle service make sure you reference the article below.
Bundle Package Selections
A bundle service deal simply put is a plan that combines numerous services from one provider. There are a number of service providers that offer bundled packages, typically for less money as compared to obtaining each service independently.
The types of bundled packages you're able to choose between include:
- Phone, Broadband Internet and TV Bundles
- TV and Phone Bundles
- Internet and Phone Bundles
- High Speed Internet and TV Bundles
Needless to say, the more options you include in the bundled plan the more you're likely to save.
Receiving only a single invoice to take care of is an additional advantage of purchasing a bundled plan as opposed to numerous single services. This can be especially true in the event your service provider charges late payment fees for missed payments. Nevertheless, a bundled plan might not be the right option for you personally even when it includes special rates and the simplicity of paying just a single statement.
Points to Keep in Mind Before Buying a Bundle Service
Below are some things to consider before you sign up to get a bundled service.
- Examine your requirements to confirm you won't be purchasing services you won't really take advantage of.
- If the bundled services has a special promotional price make certain you know what amount the services cost t the completion of the introductory period.
- Will you be able to spend less on installation along with other up-front costs in the event you choose a bundled plan?
- Is there a long-term contract required? Are there any termination costs?
- Understand how the expenses per service are divided within the bundle package.
- Be sure to take into account not only the cost, but the professionalism and reputation of the service provider.
Keep in mind, if you opt to eliminate one or more of the services in the future, your provider will almost certainly increase your monthly costs for the continued services.
Locating the Best Bargains on Bundled Services
With countless digital TV, telephone and internet alternatives right now combining them as a bundled service package could possibly be the least complicated and most cost-effective way to go. Luckily, quite a few service providers have bundle service packages and a few even partner together with other providers to supply clients with services they do not currently offer themselves.
Consumers can take advantage of free search tools, for example the tool above, to find deals on bundles in their area and compare offers from major cable companies, telephone companies and internet service providers like Comcast, Verizon FiOS, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications and more.
Simply call the toll-free number or enter in your street address inside the search box above to find local service providers and the most afforable TV, internet and phone bundles in your city.

A Leadership Deficit
House-Proposed Budget Cuts Inflict Much Pain for Little Deficit-Reduction Gain
SOURCE: AP/Harry Hamburg
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and other House Republicans are proposing deep cuts to key programs that help unemployed workers retrain, connect disadvantaged youth to job opportunities, provide early childhood education for vulnerable children, and offer housing and utilities assistance to seniors and disabled people.
House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI), in responding to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address, stated his belief that part of government’s role is to ensure equal opportunity, to provide a safety net, and to create conditions that allow for upward mobility. He promised the American people that these principles would inform conservative efforts to reduce the deficit.
So much for that. The House will vote this week on a spending bill to fund the government for the remainder of fiscal year 2011. This bill inflicts enormous and unnecessary pain for little deficit-reduction gain. It slashes critical investments for economic growth and does so on the backs of our most vulnerable citizens.
One in three Americans, or 100 million, are scraping by on low incomes and earning less than $44,000 a year for a family of four. One in five children lives in poverty in this country, with widening racial and ethnic disparities. And last month’s dismal jobs report showed that we still have a long way to go before reaching full employment.
The Republican response to this level of distress is to ax programs in this year’s funding bill that help unemployed workers retrain, connect disadvantaged youth to job opportunities, provide early childhood education for vulnerable children, and offer housing and utilities assistance to seniors and disabled people.
Everyone agrees that America needs to tackle its long-term deficit. But the recently released Republican proposal to slash approximately $65.5 billion from last year’s domestic and international spending levels reflects a failed strategy on both economic growth and basic fairness grounds. The House Republicans are proposing deep cuts to key programs in a part of the budget that represents just one-eighth of total federal spending instead of a holistic approach that surgically weeds out wasteful spending throughout the budget and examines the tax code for special interest subsidies.
The one in three Americans struggling to get by on low incomes will bear the brunt of these irresponsible decisions.
Below are a few examples of the House Republicans’ choices, with this year’s cuts compared with last year’s level of funding. The spending bill the House will vote on this week axes among other things:
- $1.1 billion from Head Start (15 percent), which represents approximately 200,000 low-income children that would lose access to early childhood education
- $1.4 billion from various job-training programs
- $1 billion from community health centers (46 percent of regular appropriation)
- $390.3 million from the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program contingency fund (66 percent cut)
- $551 million from Housing for the Elderly (67 percent cut)
- $210 million from Housing for Persons with Disabilities (70 percent cut)
Half in Ten examined these and a wide array of deep cuts and program eliminations and found that gutting programs providing basic supports to low- and moderate-income families—never mind overall cuts to infrastructure and other critical areas—saves about $15 billion. Compare this to the $23 billion we just spent in December’s estate tax giveaway to the super wealthy at the insistence of the same conservatives who want to slash these programs.
Meanwhile, at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, President Obama on Monday released his budget proposal for next year. He emphasized reducing the deficit while making strategic investments to help America compete and grow our economy.
The administration’s budget generally reflects the principle that we cannot outcompete the rest of the world if we are leaving one-third of our citizens behind. He requested increased funds for K-12 education, Head Start, and homeless prevention, as well as a restoration of a cut to SNAP/food stamps that had been enacted last year. To this end he also protects key investments such as nutrition assistance and housing vouchers for low- and moderate-income families even in the context of a five-year discretionary spending freeze.
But in other cases the president’s budget request falls short when it comes to protecting the vulnerable and investing in communities. His proposal disappointingly cuts Low-Income Home Energy Assistance by 50 percent and slashes the Community Services Block Grant by 50 percent. The former helps vulnerable families heat their homes in winter and cool their homes in the summer, which avoids utility shut-offs that can carry major health consequences, particularly for seniors and young children. The latter helps community action agencies in more than 1,000 localities across the country provide services such as weatherization, job training, and Head Start to more than 20 million low-income individuals.
These services both stabilize families in crisis and provide a pathway to long-term economic security. The president’s cuts in these areas are deep and painful. If the House passes them, the Senate should reject them.
Congress must pass a bill to fund the remainder of FY2011 by March 4 or risk a government shutdown. Soon after, Congress will begin the process of determining spending levels for FY2012. How do we ensure deficit reduction is accomplished in a fair and responsible manner and not on the backs of the most vulnerable?
Half in Ten proposes the following:
- Get specific. It’s easy to be in favor of slashing spending to reduce the deficit. But when it comes to specifics it’s harder for our members of Congress to justify slashing Head Start, community health centers, or housing assistance to the elderly or disabled. Contact your member of Congress and let them know these programs are important to you and your community. And let them know deficit reduction must be accomplished in a fair and balanced way.
- Put a human face on it. These cuts are fundamentally about people, jobs, and communities. Arm yourself with the data in this column and then work with Half in Ten and the Coalition on Human Needs who are collecting stories of how programs such as child care, affordable housing, and nutrition assistance have made a difference in your life, job, or community. We are looking for stories from program recipients, business owners, faith leaders, service providers, and other community leaders who can testify to the efficacy of federal programs.
- Remind your elected officials that there are alternatives. The greatest myth is that our only two alternatives are disinvesting from our communities or facing an unsustainable and spiraling mountain of debt. In reality, a number of responsible deficit-reduction proposals should be on the table that take a fair and balanced approach, invest in job creation, protect the vulnerable, and strengthen and expand our middle class. Compare the cost of the House Republicans’ devastating cuts to the price tag of December’s tax-cut extension for those earning more than $250,000 a year ($60.7 billion).
Budgets are more than just numbers on a ledger. They are statements of priorities that underscore which investments we want to make for long-term economic growth and shared prosperity. They are also moral documents that reflect the consideration we give to the vulnerable and the responsibilities we share as citizens for fairly raising revenue to pay for what we value.
Fortunately, these moral and economic imperatives coincide. Investing in human capital such as early child education, community health centers, and job training both strengthen our ability to compete on the world stage while ensuring that the American Dream remains within reach for all our citizens. It’s time to make sure our elected officials get that message.
Melissa Boteach is the Half in Ten Manager

Vol 7 No. 44 - July 25, 2007
I was having a conversation recently with a college age nephew about his future. Among other noble ambitions, he told me he wants to flip houses in his spare time. Aware that with the possible exception of myself, no one in his family was in the business of selling real estate or buying investment properties, I wondered where this particular interest came from. He told me that he watches "Flip That House." on the TLC channel. Well, that was enough to get me to tune in so I could see what I was missing.
"Flip That House" profiles individuals who purchase less than desirable properties, spend time, money and elbow grease to fix them up and resell at a profit. One of the properties highlighted was purchased for $90,000 in Columbia, S. C. The owner planned on flipping it in three weeks with a budget of $45,000.
They showed how the kitchen and bathroom were renovated, an interior wall removed and a new bathroom added. There was also a fireplace renovation, interior and exterior painting and floor refinishing. The show was interesting if a little broad in scope relative to how all this got accomplished in three weeks on a $45,000 budget.
When the renovation was complete, the house was listed for $214,500, an impressive number for three week’s worth of work. However, what they never talked about, which would have been helpful to my young nephew and future flipper, was where did the purchase and renovation money come from? They left the impression that there is money to be made in flipping, and there is, but not easily for the novice flipper.
Flipping is not for the faint of heart and definitely not for anyone who doesn’t want to spend his leisure time getting his hands dirty. Everything takes twice as long and costs twice as much as you first anticipated, and if you’re doing your flipping in a down market, you’re profits will be considerably less.
That being said, first time buyers who want to get in the game have some very attractive first time buyer financing available with little or no money down. If you live in the house for two years, fix it up and sell at a profit, there are no capital gains, as long as your profit is below $250,000 for an individual and $500,000 for a married couple. This is the best way for a young person to get started in real estate, make the initial purchase and sell for a profit without paying capital gains tax, then move on.
Savvy flippers and investors know to look for the real estate "orphans," the worst houses in the best neighborhoods. They also know how much return they will get on renovations and which renovations get the best bang for the buck. For example, kitchen renovations can have as much as a 102 percent return on cost. They also calculate having professional help in order to move the project along. The longer you hold a property and pay the mortgage, taxes, electric and other carrying costs, the less profit you receive in the end. And profits on non-owner occupied investment properties are taxed as a capital gain, cutting into the money in your pocket.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the show and will probably keep watching. But it makes the assumption that you are already an investor and understand all about flipping houses, which could be misleading to neophyte investors like my nephew. Like all things in life, if it sounds too easy, it is. Too bad you can’t know this when you’re 19.

The mechanical tubing market continues to be fairly good, flattening out at a relatively high plateau, but isnt nearly as tight as it was a year ago, when many mills had their customers on allocation or controlled order entry.
With additional headwinds expected to move in during the second half, most mills are leery about making predictions for 2013.
This year has been an OK year on average, with some pockets (of end-use activity) being very good and others that are not good at all, said Edward Vore, vice president of marketing and sales at ArcelorMittal Tubular Products North America.
Given that mechanical tubing demand tends to be reflective of overall industrial production and gross domestic product growth, a lot rides on what happens with the United States and global economies, he said.
The demand is still there, although a number of end-use markets are softening to a certain degree and a lot of inventories are being worked down, said Shawn Seanor, vice president of oil and gas engineered steel solutions at Timken Co., Canton, Ohio. He pointed to the Institute for Supply Managements purchasing managers index slipping below 50 percent in June, July and August as an early warning sign, especially with distributors months of supply on hand increasing, albeit slightly, over the summer.
There also has been an increase in import offerings, especially along the coasts, as a number of world markets struggle more than in the recent past and amid a strengthening of the dollar against the euro, Tim Spatafore, president of Marmon/Keystone LLC, Butler, Pa., said. But while some distributors are starting to sniff around, we wont take a chance on them. There has to be a more significant difference between the import and domestic prices before we do.
There likely will be a few months of correction ahead, Seanor said, but he is optimistic that the industry will end the year on a positive note.
Nevertheless, the significant governmental issues that have yet to be resolved make it difficult to predict what 2013 will look like for the mechanical tubing market, Vore said. A large tax increase impact or spending reduction from the full implementation of sequestration spending cuts could make 2013 a very difficult business environment, at least for the first half

, and featured some that band was dissatisfied with Tom Werman’s production; in fact, in 1998 the band went into the studio and re-recorded In Color in its entirety with — get this — Steve Albini. However, it remains unreleased, which is a shame.P). It’s a letdown. The title track is a triumph, and it rivals “Surrender” as the band’s best song — a four-minute blast of galloping power chords, with a tornado of synths, Kinks-style vocals, and arch lyrics about coked-up paranoia. But elsewhere, if falls flat. The songs are uninspired, the whole thing is overproduced, and the ballad, “Voices,” is turgid. There are strings, and some heavy-metal disco. It did well, and Dream Police was their biggest selling studio LP: the LP went to #6; the title track peaked at #26; the second single, “Voices,” went to #32.
For Cheap Trick, things started a slow, downhill slide the single,. And it was a terrible song.
Standing on the Edge (1986 Epic) was supposed to be the ol’ “return to the roots” record, but ended up having drum machines. Then it was The Doctor (1986 Epic). Sometimes it becomes difficult to continue writing these entries, once a band totally falls apart: “funk”; female back-up singers; synthesizers; computer-programmed sound effects; not much guitar.
Epic was fed up. They forced outside songwriters on the band. The result was a commercial hit and a product that would stifle the band creatively throughout the 90s. Tom Petersson rejoined the band. They had a hair ballad stuffed down their throats. “The Flame” went to #1. The CD was Lap of Luxury, (1988 Epic). It went platinum. It got bad reviews. It sold.
It’s sort of pointless to blather on endlessly about all the records Cheap Trick has made since. Sales plummeted, again; they got dropped from one major, then another. It’s really all about the first four LPs, and two tracks from the fifth.
Bands — you know, they never realize they have shelf lives, that the thing that makes a band resonate with people, and vibrate, is that they strike the Zeitgeist — and the ability to do that doesn’t last forever. They think lightning will strike over and over and over again, in exactly the same spot. Cheap Trick are still together. After Lap of Luxury, they tried to make lightning strike that spot over and over again. Of course, that spot was crass, and commercial, and artificial, and it didn’t work. They’re on an indie now. They seem to have some perspective. They’re back where they started, playing clubs. The Albini/In Color move was a stroke of genius. They should release that @#$%. They toured with Guided by Voices. Also a good move. They’re taking control of the sale of their product through digital distro. Also a good move. Go buy Budokan. It’s great.

After sitting poolside for a while we dove into the mock-rattan tepee for a more comfortable place to hide from the sun. Almost immediately I heard Joe say “oh, baby…give me your camera.” He could see what I couldn’t – the new leopard-like me! I was completely covered in the floral/spotted patterns being cast onto the mat. It was so rad.
These are just two of the images from the photo shoot that ensued. I wasn’t going to share them as I don’t exactly dream of sharing photos of me in a bikini (what up IBTC ladies!) but after giving it some thought I decided that these shadows were too cool for pride, or embarrassment. Besides, I’m practically camouflaged and they are somewhat related to this month’s mix tape: Beach Body June.
I’ve been working out almost every day since we moved and in order to fight the inevitable drag, I made this month’s mix my ultimate motivating, butt-kicking, sweat and burn soundtrack. It’s a mix of electronic, indie and rap beats that starts off mild, gets a little faster, and then mellows for a cool down. If rock is more your style then check out April’s mix – that one can really get me going! What type of music motivates you to get active?

HTC One S Review - International and T-Mobileby Brian Klug on July 17, 2012 9:30 AM EST

ltcommanderdata - Tuesday, July 17, 2012 - linkTo go with the smallest screen size for a modern smartphone, the iPhone 4S also has the smallest battery as shown on the first chart on page 2. It'd be interesting o find out how display power consumption scales with screen size to see if they are scaling battery size fast enough to fully compensate, but big phones with big screens do tend to have big batteries so big screens shouldn't automatically mean bad battery life. Reply
Penti - Tuesday, July 17, 2012 - link4S doesn't have HSPA+ baseband only 14.0 Cat 10 HSDPA. I.e. 14Mbit "4G-branding". In short small batteries, large screens, fast processors and gpus and power hungry baseband is what drains these devices. You need a significant larger battery to have a better battery life here. For most devices that isn't a priority. For example the iPad 3 gen has a larger battery then MBAir 11. Reply
amdwilliam1985 - Tuesday, July 17, 2012 - linkPlease explain the 4G part to a friend of mine.
She claims her 4G iPhone 4s with iOS 5.1.1 on AT&T network can't go through a day with moderate usage. Reply
Penti - Tuesday, July 17, 2012 - linkWhat, it's just a 3G WCDMA baseband, no other radio or tech it shouldn't draw more power just because the icon says 4G in this 3.75G device. No smartphone survives more then a day with moderate usage, calls and what not. An 4s is spec'd at 8 hours talk time and 6 hours of internet use over 3G respectively. Play a game and the device is pretty much dead half day. Using apps that pull data over the wireless cellular network, talk for a few hours and play a game for 15 minutes and it should be pretty drained. If there is nothing wrong with the device then it is the usage that has to change to accommodate more battery life. If you need to talk for hours a day and be connected to chat, surf the web, use apps that leverage the internet and all that over the network you would need some solution to charge the phone over the day not matter what device you run.
Why some people whine about early LTE phones is because they had bad dual baseband chips and about half the talk time. Pretty bad battery life surfing on LTE etc. Reply
Spoelie - Tuesday, July 17, 2012 - linkI'm wondering if the battery tests have ever been redone following iOS updates. In my experience, the battery life gets progressively worse with every new update. In this case, doing the tests once on release day and reusing the numbers for months on end may not be the best approach. Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Tuesday, July 17, 2012 - linkI'll take the blame for this one. Notice the revamp of our tablet and OS X battery life tests? The smartphone web browsing test is in need of an update there as well. iOS has gotten a little too "good" at what we're doing there, at least in the web browsing test. The call and tethering tests are still great cross-platform indications of battery life. Reply
rd_nest - Tuesday, July 17, 2012 - linkI think we should also look at multimedia playback times. Run high profile video files to check battery rundown time. It's an important parameter as far mobile usage is concerned.
The SGS3 (International) is getting pretty good numbers compared to US SGS3 models. Reply
yvizel - Tuesday, July 17, 2012 - linkSaying 3.5'' vs. 4.3'' is not an accurate argument.
If you come to think of it, the iphone is a smaller device, therefore packs a smaller battery (as you can see in the Battery Capacity chart).
Also, I would rather have a "slower" processor and more battery juice than have an octa-core @ 4GHz on a smartphone with 1 hour of usage!
Not all of us use smartphone for gaming or whatever. I guess that the more common usage is web, email, GPS and other basic stuff. So again, no need for zillion cores on a smartphone.
Oh, and great review! looks like a great device! Reply
Connoisseur - Tuesday, July 17, 2012 - linkMy point is that it's extremely difficult to compare phones of different size, resolution, screen type, OS and capacity. Even if you remove the OS out of the mix (so you can compare OS "efficiency"), the only comparison you can really make between two different devices is hours/battery capacity efficiency.
At least when comparing laptops, you have some basis for comparison (comparable hardware or form factor for example). Reply
amdwilliam1985 - Tuesday, July 17, 2012 - linkWe can do the following 2 tests.
1) Hack and put iOS on an Android device and run the same test against iPhone 4s.
2) Hack both device and put a custom OS on both and run the test.
This way we can see if it's software or hardware that's affecting the battery life. Reply

Researching Court Records.[2].[3]
The attention to detail evident in the above quote is a strong indication of a quality transcription.
Finding Compiled Court Records
As suggested earlier, an Internet search either on your home computer or at the nearest public library is the best way to get an overview of what has been published and where the published records can be found and used. Unfortunately, there is no complete bibliography of titles or websites containing compiled records. A search of the online catalog of the regional library would be helpful as would use of. Below are some suggestions about other places to look.
- Published state archives. Most of the original colonies/states authorized publication of original court records in series called archives. Such compiled volumes as Pennsylvania Archives and Maryland Archives are examples. Complete sets are available in several large research libraries and some are available online. Consult Benjamin Barnett Spratling III, "Court and Legal Records," in Printed Sources: A Guide to Published Genealogical Records, for a state-by-state (and colony) guide to compilations of this nature.[4]
- Local histories, particularly those published around the turn of the nineteenth century, may contain extracts or transcribed court records. Some are accurately reproduced with careful indexes; some have many errors. Be sure to check for appendixes, special sections of documents, and quotations in the middle of town and family sections. Early histories are becoming more accessible due to digitization, so use sites that feature these publications.
- Abstracts, extracts, indexes, and complete transcripts of court records can be found in journals, occasional publications, annual volumes, and special series. These can be accessed through a search of the Periodical Source Index, referenced in chapter 3, "General References and Guides."
- William Jeffrey Jr., "Early New England Court Records: A Bibliography of Published Materials," contains a listing of the records published, the dates covered, name of court; title, author, and bibliographic data of printed volume; description and index; brief analysis of editing done and omissions.[5]
- Evarts B. Green and Richard B. Morris, A Guide to the Principal Sources for Early American History (1600-1800) in the City of New York, contains a separate section of printed sources, including court records, found in various record depositories in New York City. They are arranged by subject and thereunder by state and locality.[6]
- Bradley Chapin, Criminal Justice in Colonial America, 1606-1660, is a valuable description of courts and their jurisdictions and specific crimes for which punishment was meted out before 1660 in America.[7] The author includes a list of selected cases and a full bibliography of early sources. Since there are no printed reports, few indexes, and missing volumes for this period, the list is especially valuable. The genealogist who is searching for an American ancestor in this early period will benefit from a careful study of this book.
- Volumes of court records have been published privately, by societies, archives, universities, and the trade press. For example, Joan W. Peters Military Records, Patriotic Service, & Public Service Claims from the Fauquier County, Virginia, Court Minute Books, 1759-1784.[8]
Finding Early Laws
It is useful to know what laws were in effect in a state at the time an ancestor lived there. Hein's Session Laws of American States and Territories: A Compilation of All States and Territories, 1775-2003[9] is the most complete coverage of all fifty states, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. This is the original record of each state's legislative sessions. A companion work for pre-1775 is Colonial Session Laws, which is also published by William S. Hein and Company. Copies can be found at most major law libraries. A list of the contents of this publication, which comprises more than 88,000 microfiche, is online as of January 2006. An earlier, though still useful, collection of microfiche may be more readily available at smaller libraries: Session Laws of the American States and Territories Prior to 1900.[10] For laws not cited in full, references to the revisions in each state law code are given, providing a reference to follow the changes backward in time. The years for which printed laws are available are summarized below.
Check with state archives and historical societies for publications that provide the early laws of their respective states. One example of many is the printed work by the Historical Bureau of the Indiana Library and Historical Department, The Laws of Indiana Territory, 1801-1809. Many early references of this nature are online with searchable text, such as the Archives of Maryland's Legislative Records (1634-2000s) at or Alabama legislative records at, or H. P. N. Gammel's The Laws of Texas, 1822-1897, which consists of documents covering each congressional and legislative session and including the constitutions and early colonization laws. The first ten volumes of The Laws of Texas are available from the University of North Texas Libraries at. Some states archives assemble and publish historical laws on a particular subject. "Missouri's Early Slave Laws" (laws from Missouri Territorial to 1850s) are explained at.
Federal session laws are published at the conclusion of each session of Congress as United States Statutes at Large. This is considered the official source for the Public and Private session laws of the United States Congress. Browseable and index-searchable facsimile image files of the Statutes at Large from 1789 to 1875 are offered by the American Memory project of the U.S. Library of Congress. The earlier statutes are online at "A Century of Lawmaking for a New Nation".
Not only do early sessions laws help in the interpretation of court and other records researchers use, but many of these collections include what are termed private laws, such as a name change or the granting of a divorce that occurs in the early legislature of a state. Tracing the history of a law is not difficult. Most law libraries are open for public use. A call before you go can verify public access, hours of operation, availability of copy machines, and fees (if any).

Samsung Galaxy Fit
The Galaxy Fit is a low-feature Android smartphone. Its lack of features are reflected in its price, which is a good sign for the budget-minded buyer. Phones like the Fit are one of the reasons Android has taken off so quickly; allowing the people to get their hands on a smartphone for minimal cost. Although it features a 5 Megapixel camera, the Fit has only 160MB RAM and 160MB internal storage, which means limited multi-tasking capabilities. The phone’s screen is just a fraction smaller than what you’ll find on the iPhone.

What is Mobile World Congress you may ask? Basically, it’s a huge event held every year in Europe, where the top mobile technology manufacturers come together to create hype and show off their latest wares. According to Wikipedia,“MWV is the combination of the world’s largest exhibition for the mobile industry and a congress featuring prominent Chief Executives representing mobile operators, vendors and content owners from across the world.” It’s really the equivalent of CES, but for Europe. Historically, some significant developments in mobile technology have been debuted at MWC, and 2011 is looking to be no different. It really is an exciting time for Android fans worldwide! Here are our projections for Mobile World Congress in 2011.
Samsung has yet to step up to the dual core plate, and we are excited to see what they have been working on. Aside from a few teasers – which have really told us nothing, we have little in the way of confirmation of what to truly expect. Fear not reader, for we will know in just a few days. We do believe that the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 will likely both be Dual Core. Samsung’s own Dual-Core Orion chipset is supposed to eclipse NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 in terms of performance, but we will have to wait and see if this is really powering the high-end Galaxy sequels.
Specs Samsung Galaxy S2
The Samsung Galaxy S2 is supposed to feature:
If these rumors prove to be true, Samsung will easily rise to the top spot in the world of Android Phones for the beginning of 2011.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2
A leaked itinerary for Samsung’s Sunday event also confirms that a new Galaxy Tab has been in the pipe for quite some time. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is set to be featured at MWV 2011, and there really is little in the way of cold hard facts on the ‘net as we write this article for you. Not much is known about this one – we’re hoping it’ll run Android 3.0 Honeycomb, designed for tablets, but whether it’ll stick with the same 7-inch form factor or inch up closer to the iPad’s size remains to be seen.″ Super AMOLED display, since Samsung will be able to produce such screens in mass quantities much later this year. For now we are probably looking at an LCD with Sammy’s new Super PLS technology, which can go up to 800×1280 pixels of resolution. As for 3D, that’s speculated also, but we have our doubts
The aforementioned specs show the upcoming Galaxy Tab 2 to be more muscular than either Motorola XOOM or the Apple Ipad 2. Arguably these specs would make it the most powerful tablet in world. T-Mobile has already announced the LG G-Slate tablet which will run on Android 3.0 Honeycomb. There is a lot of activity in the tablet space, and its easy to see why analysts are projecting 60 million tablets to be sold in 2011.
We’ve already seen a picture of this rumored device. It’s likely that HTC is set to make up for its lackluster release at CES 2011, in Las Vegas. The phone we have seen has been immediately labeled a successor to the HTC Desire, and it looks a lot like the HTC Desire HD, meaning that it seems to have a large screen, and a cool unibody aluminum design. The odds are good that this new HTC phone will possess Dual Core innards, but it is still too early to tell. It apparently could be packing LTE as well, and be destined for Europe and Asia. If HTC is to retain its ambitious targets of doubling or even tripling its sales worldwide, it will undoubtedly need to bring devices that offer the highest performance possible to the table. We are looking forward to seeing what they have been working on. A successor to the HTC Droid Incredible on Verizon seems to be in the works too.
HTC is also likely to be debuting its 7 inch HTC Flyer Android tablet, which, rumor has it, is single-core. Considering it should have the chipset of the HTC Desire HD, and 1GB of RAM, performance should not be an issue. There is also likely to be an HDMI port on board, which should make up for the lack of Dual Core. Additionally, It should also have a 5MP rear camera, and the prototype we heard about before was running Gingerbread. Odds are good that such a device will be debuted at Mobile World Congress 2011.
LG
The Korean manufacturer announced in a release from last week that they have a 3D Android Smartphone. dubbed the LG Optimus 3D, that will be debuted at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. LG also confirmed the fact first technical data on the smartphone. It features two separate lenses that are able to take 3D photos, which is, we guess, an interesting feature set. This special technology will also allow the user to create 3D movies and images, and the LCD will also be able to display 3D content without the need for special glasses. This is, currently, necessary for viewing current 3D TV’s. The 3D Optimus also has an HDMI port and will support the DLNA standard for wireless streaming. Unfortunately, an official photo of the Optimus 3D does not exist yet.
Motorola
Motorola already introduced its signature devices at CES 2011. These were the Motorola DROID Bionic, the Motorola Atrix, and the eagerly awaited tablet, the Motorola Xoom. It’s rumored that they will launch the devices globally on February 14th, or shortly thereafter.
Sony
To date, the rumored Play is one of the most exciting Android handsets to come from Sony Ericsson. Originally introduced in a patent almost three years ago, the PlayStation Phone has enjoyed a long history of rumors. Most of the earlier rumors only served to confirm that Sony Ericsson was working hard on a gaming-themed Smartphone. Here’s some good news – the latest batch of rumors are much more detailed, and offer a glimpse at the hardware and the software powering the phone. Even the PlayStation app has been spotted.
All the stars are lining up for the Xperia Play to be unveiled at MWC 2011. The date of MWC 2011 fits in nicely with a previous rumor that suggested the Xperia Play would be unveiled in February. A tipster for Tech Crunch leaked this February time frame and claimed the PlayStation phone provided “the best gaming [the tipster] ever had on a mobile device.” That is very high praise for a not-yet-released device. If this rumor pans out and the PlayStation Phone is introduced at MWC 2011, would you be interested in the Xperia Play?
This one offers a massive 4.2-inch screen, and also comes with some pretty significant tech packed into a very nice and stylish thin frame. The camera is running some fairly high end specs: an 8.1 MP camera with HD video recording, although it’s only offering a single LED flash, which makes sense given the frame is only 8.7mm thick at its thinnest point..
Sony claims its new ‘Reality Display’ is one, if not the, industries best, and it does offer brilliant color and extremely good refresh rates.
Think of any of these phones can top the Motorola Atrix?
Stay tuned!

I don't much feel like writing about phones this weekend. Instead, I'll paraphrase a Facebook post from an old friend of mine from high school who leads a congregation in Nebraska:
It's so easy to say, "My heart/prayers goes out." How about this: Here's the address for Sandy Hook Elementary School: 12 Dickenson Drive, Sandy Hook, CT 06482.
Take five minutes. Sit down with your kid. Write a letter. Draw a picture. Make a card. Send it to them. Tell them you're praying for them. Tell them you're so sorry they're hurting. Tell them you love them. Don't just say you love them on Facebook. LOVE them for real. ... Make your love tangible.
Wise words. Hug your kids, remember the victims. And don't ever stop trying to make this world a little better.

Could Samsung be planning to launch a full-sized tablet cousin to the Galaxy Note? Listings on Samsung's own blog, as well as a casting website, contain references to the "Galaxy Note 10.1", an as-yet unannounced device. A post with details of Samsung's Mobile World Congress 2012 developer day lists the device alongside the original Galaxy Note and S Pen SDK.
It's possible that this is a typo, however the fact that it's mentioned alongside an invitation to "experience the latest Samsung technology" suggests otherwise, as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is almost a year old at this point. What's more, the post itself has since been pulled from Samsung's site, suggesting that the revelation may have been accidental.
The plot thickens with the discovery of a casting call for a Samsung ad by The Verge, which refers to the mysterious device multiple times. The ad was to show the Galaxy Note 10.1 "education, financial planning, and art", and was due to start shooting this month, which would tie in nicely with a possible MWC unveiling.
While of limited use on the Galaxy Note's small screen, we could see S Pen's Wacom-based abilities being much more appealing on a full-sized tablet display. Samsung has previously alluded to the possibility of stylus input on a larger display, so it wouldn't be too surprising to see a re-vamped Galaxy Tab 10.1 with S Pen integration in the near future. Whatever Samsung ends up showing at Mobile World Congress, we'll be there to bring you full coverage.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 is the successor of the immensely popular Galaxy S. At the time of its release, the Galaxy S2 was not only the thinnest android phone with a "thickness" of 8.49mm but also one of the fastest thanks to its 1.2 GHz dual-core processor. It boasts an 8 Megapixel Camera on the back and a front facing 2 Megapixel camera.
While the Galaxy S2 was launched with Android 2.3 Gingerbread - it was soon updated Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich and then updated again to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. As of June 2012, over 28 Million models have been sold, further underlining its popularity among smartphone users.
The Samung Galaxy S2 success story was only to be eclipsed by the release of the Samsung Galaxy S3 - which cemented its position as a worthy rival to the iPhone. Follow our AndroidPIT News feed for all the newest updates from Samsung for your Galaxy S2.

Natural Cleaning Products around the Household
In my last post about Installing Double Glazed Windows Can Help to Reduce Energy, I mentioned about homemade cleaning products which can keep your home nice and clean, and it got me thinking about what other ingredients could help your home fresh without having to take a trip down to your local supermarket. So it inspired me to write a little more on the subject.
When I was younger, I can remember coming home from school to walk into my house smelling of bleach everywhere. I couldn’t escape from it. The smell would burn my nose and cause my eyes to water, it was that strong. Plus my mum would only clean the house from top to bottom when she was mad, so I knew at that point, to stay out of her way.
My mum would have more cleaning products in the house than a 99p store had to offer. She had everything from spray bottles for cleaning your windows, to limescale remover for the shower. There were even some products that I never knew existed.
Strange thing was, when I would go round my grandmother’s house her house always smelled so fresh and clean, yet there was hardly any bleach around to be seen, which was a blessing for my poor nostrils.
She would always have two old dishcloths lying on the floor in the kitchen, so when she was walking around cleaning, she would step on the dishcloths and clean the floor as she went. I used to think she was as mad as a hatter, but it wasn’t until I asked her about it that she said “As I walk around the kitchen cleaning, I use the dishcloths to polish the floor as I go about.” Luckily, her kitchen floor was tiled so it made sense. If she had carpet then I would have thought she had lost the plot.
She would always have the lemon juice, vinegar and baking soda on hand to help her clean. She even had a small tub of natural beeswax to clean the big wooden table she had at the other end of the kitchen. She said that she found all the other cleaning products too harsh to use on the table. Saying that though, she didn’t mind using furniture polish once in a while, but she couldn’t use it for too long as it would irritate her skin.
I never used to mind helping her clean the house as I wouldn’t have to worry about the smell or getting bleach on my clothes and staining them.
Because vinegar naturally cleans like an all-purpose cleaner (do not use on marble and always dilute, as vinegar is acidic and can eat away at the tile grout) and the smell disappears when it dries, it’s ideal to use it in most parts of the house. It’s perfect for bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms. Did you know that vinegar can be used as a natural fabric softener? Nope neither did I!
Lemon juice is another natural substance that can be used to clean your home and can be used to dissolve soap scum and hard water deposits. It can be mixed with baking soda to make cleaning pastes. All you need to do is cut a lemon in half and sprinkle baking soda on the cut section. Use the lemon to scrub dishes, surfaces, and stains. You can even mix 1 cup olive oil with ½ cup lemon juice and you have a furniture polish for your hardwood furniture! How amazing is that? By doing this, you have already reduced your normal collection of cleaning products by half!
With baking soda it can be used to scrub surfaces in much the same way as commercial abrasive cleansers. It’s also a great alternative for a deodorizer instead of using those deodorizing sprays you see in adverts.
Another great household product to use is either toothpaste or mayonnaise. Why I hear you ask? Simple. If you have water marks (rings) on your wood coffee tables or wood furniture in general, then just rub a small amount of toothpaste/ mayo on the ring until it disappears and then just wipe off with a dry rag. Job done!
If you have the 3 main ingredients in your household then the possibilities for cleaning your house are endless!
Perhaps you have other great ideas about cleaning your house which won’t break the bank? Let us know and we will post them on our blog.

Great article! Most people don’t realize that you can make your own cleaning products using simple household products. It’s cheaper and so much better for the environment. I like to add essential oils to complement the effects of the ingredients, and make the solutions smell nicer too.
It’s amazing what a huge difference using natural products makes. I used to suffer from migraines and after I quit using chemicals I had a lot fewer of them. The artificial fragrances have a horrible effect on people, and I wonder how much better people would feel if they were completely cut out.
If everyone were to put more effort into doing stuff like this the world would be a cleaner place for everyone.

Hurricane Sandy Rescue Story: Yammie Safe and Sound While Dad Hard at Work
Dominic Lampasi has been working nearly non-stop since the storm hit. As a social health investigator for the Nassau County Department of Health, Dominic is one of the many heroic county workers putting in long hours helping those affected by Hurricane Sandy.
But Dominic's own home in Babylon suffered severe damage. More worrisome, his job has kept him away from his beautiful dog Yammie, a Pit Bull mix he rescued in 2005.
"Yammie has been in the dark and cold while I'm working, and I felt so horrible for her," he says. "I wanted to be able to keep working and giving aid to those who have lost their homes, but I need Yammie to be taken care of while I'm gone."
On Saturday, November 3, Dominic brought Yammie to the animal shelter at Mitchel Field gymnasium, so she had a warm, safe place to stay while he's helping others.
"She's the greatest dog, and I'm so glad to know that she will be taken care of by people who love animals as much as I do," says Dominic. "Until I'm able to take her home, she'll be fine."

On Top Of The World
By Bulldog
I am on top of the world. Why? I will tell you in a second. In a
previous article I wrote, “Fuck Everything Else,” I talked about there
being no better feeling in the world then that of accomplishing a goal
that you set for yourself. I mentioned other things like taking what is
inevitably going to be yours… Setting a goal and nailing it to the
fucking wall… Taking a dream and making it a reality… It's the best
high. Do you have that Animal lust in you? You do. If you want to that
is… Just take the first step to get there by accepting that it probably
won't be easy while remembering that you are going to accomplish your
goal no matter what. So anyway, I am on top of the world because I just
received my IFBB pro card. Fuck yeah. I feel. In the next article, I'm
going to shed some light on what a typical day in the life of me.

If you liked or , you'd like the other because...
It’s been one thousand years since the Kingdom of Guardia was established, and to celebrate the citizens are holding a festival. Though what most people don’t know is that the night before this celebration marks the Millenial fair for the world’s monsters. After the sun has set, a portal opens and the creatures begin their own celebration, complete with various food stalls and carnival games. Two creepy critters, Nuu and Mamo, are attempting to recruit new team members, but when they prove to be unsuccessful they decide to check out the festivities instead. Whether they’re annoying the live entertainment or taking part in a drinking contest to win a golden shovel, the pair is making the most of the fiesta and plan to kick back and relax – that is until they meet a large, singing robot named Gonzalez….
Both Chrono Trigger and Di Gi Charat are graced with a peculiar, light-hearted sense of humour, as well as colourful, strange and bright characters and scenes. Chrono Trigger, though, is a bit more cheerful than Di Gi Charat, which is only really cute and cheerful on the surface. Irregardless, if you liked one, I'm sure the other could be worth your?
I think if you liked Chrono Trigger you would find enjoyment in Dragon Half as well because even though the plots are very different they share several key elements. These are both light-hearted comedies that you don't have to be serious or thoughtful to watch. They are both short so they are good for a quick laugh. Watch these as a 'pick me up' on a boring day.
For Pandy and Retro, waking up naked with amnesia wasn't the high point of their day. While going on a crime spree, the duo are captured and sent to the infamous Dead Leaves, a notorious prison where the baddest of the bad are sent. Using the bathroom is a chore, eating is force fed and escape seems impossible -- but is it? Join Pandy, Retro, the drill endowed Chinko Drill and a gang of inmates as they plot their escape from the hell that is Dead Leaves!?
If you watched Chrono Trigger OVA, then it means that you probably played the game and remember its music. Although the OP and ED in Hitohira don't have very good songs, you might find interesting the fact that the BGM in this show sounds like it was inspired on Mitsuda's and Uematsu's work (you can hear it from the very beginning of the first episode). If liked their music, you should give Hitohira a try.

Wet socks and walking polesThursday, September 22nd, 2011
Last weekend I had a sock incident in the Brecon Beacons. I was staying in Ponty Pandy’s only public house complete with bunkhouse attachment, stale nibbles and porcine landlord with pudding basin hair. Now I love a ramble, involving, as it usually does, a leisurely pace, a hot beverage with a Pppppppenguin and, if I’m lucky a wee in a bush. However, this ramble was a 20 mile Challenge in the company of a bunch of seriously dull council employees. We had a trading standards officer, a couple of widget counters and a man who did something in leisure centres – think Gordon Brittas in waterproof trousers. The day didn’t get off to a good start – the pub had no muesli, no stewed prunes, not even any Rice Crispies. It was a Welsh-all-in or nothing, so I had a slaver of black pudding on a slice of 5050 (that’s brown bread that’s been bleached white but doesn’t taste of either) then it was check you’ve got your whistle, your survival bag and your sandwiches – more slices of pig on 5050 – and we were off. From one rain-sodden tussock to another we leapt whereupon I discovered my waterproof boots weren’t waterproof at all. We then chucked up the hugely steep and perilous Pen Y Fan. En route, we passed a woman with a handbag and a shawl, and, most peculiarly, a man with strange rubber shoes with individual toes in them who’d lost the plastic end of his walking pole and had walked all the way down to the bottom to find it, saving himself, oh I’d say about 50p. Meanwhile, the council boys, fuelled by their morning sausage, had chased each other to the top and were now eating bananas and laughing like drains at the impossibly named adjacent peak of Fan Y Big. The view was lovely but on the way down, my ultra chunky wet socks started to chafe and friend A got the urge to wee. With no bushes in sight, we could either form a human shield around her with the council bores, or she could hold it until the next check point (whose facilities turned out to be a bucket in the school stationery cupboard). By this time, we’d hooked up with a Scottish Munro bagger and a building inspector from Neath who for the next two hours, regaled us with tales of altitude sickness on Kilimanjaro. By tea time, our ordeal was over. Back at the bunkhouse, we fought over the shower and who was going to have the Welsh faggots – and then we went to bed. Tidy.

Just flowering quince (chaenomeles) around town have been putting on a show now for a couple of weeks. This wonderful deciduous ornamental is just about the first thing to begin blooming in the garden each year; I have seen the quince in the photograph start to bloom in January. This is an easy plant to grow; flowering quince doesn’t seem bothered by insects, diseases (except perhaps leaf spot in the summer), or deer. If it had one drawback, perhaps, that might be the thorns. Flowering quince want full sun and, like all plants, well-drained soil. It is neat to bring branches in the house and watch them bloom during late January. The flowers make a glorious flower arrangement. The quince pictured here ( I don’t remember the cultivar) grows only about three feet tall and about five feet around. There are many, many cultivars of flowering quince available to the trade: some grow tall; others remain dwarf size. There is a wonderful assortment of colors, including coral, pink, red, white and, my most favorite, the one that sports pink and white and red blooms all on the same branch (‘Toyo Nishki’). I have been told that quince can even survive in dry shade--the gardener's worst place to get something to grow, but I have not been successful in that environment.
Flowering quince is a wonderful addition to your garden. It might almost be described as bullet-proof, a gardener’s favorite plant description.

“I stand by what I wrote in my statement,” said Andrews of his affidavit that says a fellow trooper shot Jackson after Jackson tried to take that trooper’s revolver.
Jackson’s killing on Feb. 18, 1965, by state trooper James Bonard Fowler of Geneva is widely considered to have been the catalyst for the Selma to Montgomery March, a pivotal event in the Civil Rights movement that helped bring about the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Fowler, in an interview with The Star in February 2005, admitted publicly for the first time to killing Jackson, but insisted he shot Jackson in self-defense.
Soon after that interview, the leadership of the Alabama Legislative Black Caucus called on state and federal authorities to investigate and prosecute Fowler for the shooting. Attorney General Troy King and Dallas County District Attorney Michael Jackson’s offices announced they were reviewing the case.
What happened
The 1965 incident took place inside a restaurant called Mack’s Café near the town square in Marion. State troopers had been dispatched to the area because a nighttime march had been planned by local civil rights leaders. During the march, historians and witnesses say, local law-enforcement officers, troopers and trouble-makers started beating the marchers.
In the ensuing chaos, some people sought refuge inside Mack’s Café. They were followed there by troopers, including Fowler and Andrews.
A number of historical accounts of the shooting say that Jackson was shot while trying to protect his mother from being beating by the troopers.
Andrews’ statement, which is similar to Fowler’s, says in part: “One of the Negros hit Corporal Fowler on the head with a bottle, and at the same time appeared to try and get his revolver. Corporal Fowler then threw up his arms and shoved the Negro backward, and the Negro again advanced toward Corporal Fowler, he drew his revolver and fired. Corporal Fowler shouted for someone to get a doctor, that someone had been shot.”
A number of historical accounts, including Pillar of Fire by Taylor Branch, paint a different picture of that night. In his book, Branch — referring to Cager Lee, Jimmie Lee Jackson’s grandfather, and Viola Jackson, his mother — writes: .”
Although he refused to elaborate on “anything having to do with Marion,” Andrews, 73, did make it clear that no law-enforcement agency has ever spoken to him about the case.
Looking for the truth
Fowler, in his 2005 interview with The Star, also said no law-enforcement officials had ever spoken to him about the case.
Andrews added that Montgomery attorney George Beck, who has been retained by Fowler, has not contacted him.
“You are the only person who has ever tried to talk to me about this,” Andrews said to this reporter. Then he added, “If you are looking for the truth, all you got to do is read that statement I made in 1965. That’s all the truth there is.”
After the 26-year-old Jackson was shot, he was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Selma where he died a few days later.
Andrews believes that could have been avoided.
“That young man should not have died,” Andrews said. “He died of peritonitis, an infection. That doctor didn’t know what he was doing. Now you tell me, if he would have gotten the same kind of care that George Wallace got after he got shot, do you think he would have died? I don’t,” he said referring to an assassination attempt on Wallace in 1972.
Historical accounts of the events surrounding the shooting of Jackson suggest a number of troopers, perhaps as many as 10, entered Mack’s Café just prior to the shooting.
No eyewitnesses
Andrews strongly disputes this, saying only he and Fowler and two other troopers were present.
One of the troopers present, B.J. Hoots, died a few years ago, according to the Alabama Department of Vital Statistics. A number of people in Marion were in or around Mack’s Café the night of the shooting, and dispute both troopers’ accounts of what happened the night Jackson was killed. But so far, no eyewitness other than the troopers have been found, according to Dallas County District Attorney Michael Jackson.
“If I had an eyewitness, I would be taking this before a grand jury right now,” Jackson said from his office in Selma.
Andrews, who made it to the rank of captain in the state troopers, spoke at length in the wide-ranging interview about everything from politics to his friendship with Anniston’s Norwood Hodges.
He worked, he said, for a number of years with former Gov. Albert Brewer, for example, and developed a strong admiration of him.
He talked of Brewer’s contribution to the state, and of how George Wallace sullied its image.
“Albert Brewer wanted to make Alabama a better place for its people,” he said while drinking coffee in a neighborhood McDonalds near his home in Wetumpka. “He could have been our progressive governor,” he said of the staunchly intergrationalist Brewer. “Instead we got George Wallace.
“Listen here, my youngest boy went to Harvard,” he said. “From the minute he got there, people gave him a hard time because he was from Alabama. Now that was Wallace’s fault.”

DVD Review: “Super” (2010)
In the wake of, shall we say, an interesting turn of events, Rainn Wilson’s Frank D’Arbo, who has christened himself a crime-fighting superhero called Crimson Bolt, rushes to his bathroom and throws up. I nodded. That’s how your movie made me feel too, Rainn.
Written and directed by James Gunn, Super feels a bit familiar in the beginning, even if ominous warning signs of where it will eventually go crop up continually. Wilson’s Frank is a socially awkward, geeky and devoutly religious line cook who married Sarah (Liv Tyler), a recovering drug addict, because he seemed good-willed and willing to help her keep on the right path. This doesn’t last long. She returns to drugs and turns to crime in the form of the film’s villain, Jacques (Kevin Bacon, suitably over-acting), who whisks her away. Frank goes after her. It doesn’t end well. But he doesn’t end there.
He catches a few TV episodes of The Holy Avenger, a superhero story with decidedly Christ-leaning overtones. This leads to a moment in which, more or less, Frank receives a message from God, a message that he intuits to be that it’s time to go out and kick ass and save Sarah. He goes to a local comic book shop to do research and meets the young, equally geeky but extraordinarily foul mouthed Libby (Ellen Page). She opines as to why no one has ever attempted to be superhero. Fancy that.
Frank makes himself a crimson-laden costume, fashions a seriously souped-up wrench and goes on the attack. Sort of. Even when he succeeds in beating the tar out of a drug dealer he is sloppy about it. But things get worse when he not only bludgeons an irritating man who has cut in a movie line, but bludgeons his girlfriend too. And the movie grows darker. And continues to grow darker as Libby forces her way into Frank’s existence as Boltie, the Crimson’s Bolt kid sidekick.
Still, the movie grows darker. And weirder. And unpleasant. As the movie progressed the less it came across like a twisted take on the superhero genre than a subversive commentary on mass murderers who more often than not seem deluded in the sense they are representing some sort of greater good, that they are on a mission from God, etc. If this is truly the case then Super is entirely effective. Which is why I found it so grotesque.
On The Lars von Trier Scale Of Unsettling I give Super eight out of a possible ten dog collars. The movie totally has the right to exist, I just wish I could wash the memory of its existence from my mind.

So is it literally Dwight Schrute moonlighting as the “Crimson fighter”? Seems like Wilson didn’t really have to extend that far out of his current range.
Rainn Wilson does have range. There’s a movie called Peep World where he’s really good, except that no one else likes the rest of the film but me.
There certainly are some Schrute-isms. I suspect part of the problem is many of those Schrute-isms might just be part or a variation of his real personality and so it’s difficult to do away with them unless he’s disappearing into a completely different role.
It’s pretty dark and very disturbing but this film has a moving story behind it and works as a showcase for the great talents of Rainn Wilson. Good Review Nick!
Thank you!
It had a bunch of tonal issues, and it is a very dark and disturbing film. However, on a Lars van Trier scale an 8 out of 10? No way. If Antichrist is a 10, then this movie is more like… a 4 or 5. I’ve seen far more violent and/or disturbing films.
Also, despite how disturbing this movie can get, it actually does have some good writing behind it. I still don’t know if I liked the movie or not on the whole, though.
Touché. I probably was exaggerating with the whole Von Trier Rating System but I like to exaggerate for effect. And I agree, too, that there is good writing behind it. I mean, for the most part it succeeds in what it wants to do. I don’t dispute that at all. I just personally didn’t care for what it did.
I really don’t get the appeal of Rainn Wilson at all, sorry. I think The Office is funny mostly because of Carrell but I just can’t stand Dwight, so this is definitely a skip for me.
Yeah, if you’re not a Wilson fan then you might not want to see this. In fact, you might like him even less simply because he might frighten you.
I really liked the different tone of this movie. When you start watching a superhero movie you have specific expectations of it, when it plays with those it surprises. Sure it is very dark towards the end, but I liked the fact that it wasn’t afraid to shock you and makes you believe that this guy thinks it’s ok to fight crime this way. Enjoyed it a bit more than you did.
I love it when movies don’t conform to expectations and so in that sense I certainly respect it. As I said above, I just didn’t personally care for how it upsurped those expectations.
Weirdly, I saw this on Sunday and absolutely loved it. I thought it was well done and very dark. Very violent, more than I thought it was going to be but I still very much enjoyed the show.
I normally can’t stand Ellen Page but I thought she did pretty well in this one!
Just my opinion
Well, there are other people who certainly have seemed to enjoy it, and more power to you. That’s the comparison I was trying to make with The Lars von Trier Scale. There are definitely people that enjoy his work. I’m not one of them. Just how it goes sometimes.
very interesting and unexpected review. the trailer made me want to watch it for the expected laughs, but the more I hear about the film, the more I want to not watch it.
thanks for the review!
Well, if you want to be sufficiently disturbed, I say watch it. If not…
What? You didn’t like the midnight rape? Dude getting bludgeoned with a wrench for skipping the movie theater line? What a strange movie… It definitely starts slowly but the ending is epic and there is scenes here and there that are too awesome to miss.

Over the past decade that I have served the residents of Syosset as a Town of Oyster Bay Councilman I have seen, along with the community, the untimely passing of so many fine individuals. Unfortunately, on April 7, Jeffrey Rozran, a longtime English teacher at Syosset High School and president of the Syosset Teacher’s Association, died as a result of a battle with lung cancer.
Growing up in Syosset, I was fortunate to have many fine teachers in the Syosset School District and several deserve credit for influencing my professional and personal life. Approximately 31 years ago I was especially privileged to have Jeffrey Rozran as my English teacher. From the day I met him, he had a positive influence on my life.
I was able to remain in the Syosset area and stay in touch with Jeffrey Rozran from time to time. As I was busy working as a local attorney, he embraced my career in public life and went out of his way to support me as a professional and as a public official. He was a kind and generous man and always took the time to give of himself and support others. I could tell how truly proud he was that I was one of his past students, and I was truly proud of having been taught by him and of his distinguished career at Syosset High School. I know that I share many of the wonderful feelings that so many of his former students had for him.
Jeffrey Rozran took the time to pay attention to a challenging 17-year-old high school student who would rather have been playing any sport than be in a classroom. However, his interest in me, and the rest of his students, made it easy for us to want to learn and do something positive with our lives. I always felt that he was there for me if I ever veered off-path, and he would not hesitate to pick up the telephone and steer me in the right direction.
Mr. Rozran, I will always appreciate your support and your kindness in encouraging my career. Your examples of teaching and giving will always be remembered by myself and all of the students who were fortunate enough to have had you as a teacher and mentor.
May God Bless Jeffrey Rozran and his memory, as well as his wife Luanne and his other family members. I would like people to know that I am a much better person today for having had Jeffrey Rozran as a part of my life, and for that I am truly thankful.
Town of Oyster Bay Councilman Chris J. Coschignano

I've heard from some people that the word 'Anzac' should always be spelled with capital letters, but others say it shouldn't be. What do you think about this? [NOTE - Permission is granted to the Wikipedia editor 'Hayaman' to use any or all of this material, to edit it and to post it wherever Hayaman sees fit on the Wikipedia site, attributed or not - B Dolan, 2nd April 2008).
To say that 'Anzac' should always be spelled in capitals ignores both the rules of English grammar and the word's historical usage.
I use both forms, but for different purposes. I certainly do not believe that the word should always be capitalised, for any reason.
Insisting that the word should always be capitalised is implying that everybody in the past - including the Anzacs themselves - used the term incorrectly. This is insulting.
The full capitalisation is fine so long as it is actually the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps - that is, the army formation - being referred to. However, when 'Anzac' is used as a proper noun, as in 'Anzac Cove', 'Anzac Day', or 'the Anzacs', the word does not refer to the army formation but forms one of the other six uses of the term as identified by Dr. Charles Bean in the Official History of Australia in World War 1.
The following definitions of the word 'Anzac' are from Bean, C.E.W. The Official History of Australia In The War of 1914 - 1918 Vol 1. The Story Of Anzac p 609. [I have not changed any of the capitalisation from the original].
(1) Originally, code name for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (see p. 124) ;
(2) Name given to the beach where the A. & N.Z. Army Corps landed on Gallipoli;
(3) Official name of the two A. & N.Z. Army Corps in France (1st Anzac Corps, 2nd Anzac Corps) ;
(4) Term universally applied by British troops in France to the Australians and New Zealanders of the two Anzac Corps (the Anzacs);
(5) In Palestine, often used to denote men of the Anzac Mounted Division as distinguished from those of the Australian Mounted Division;
(6) In Australia (and eventually in the A.I.F.), used to denote Australians and New Zealanders who served on Gallipoli.
The generally accepted uses of the term are (1), (2), (3), and (6).
Clearly Bean has indicated that while originally the term ANZAC was, as is well known, a short-hand way of referring to the actual army corps, a new word - 'Anzac' - sprang from this which almost immediately evolved to have different meanings and uses.
Most authors since 1915 have used the proper noun 'Anzacs' or 'Anzac' to refer to the troops, the sector of Gallipoli and the actual cove.
It's ludicrous for anybody now to suggest that each and every one of these writers used the term incorrectly because they did not entirely capitalise it, and insulting to imply that they didn't know any better - but that 'we' do.
Consider exactly who used or uses the noun 'Anzac' :
The official Australian historian, Dr. Charles Bean;
The official British and New Zealand historians;
The Australian Imperial Force and the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in their official documents;
Those who wrote articles for the RSL in Reveille and other returned servicemen's magazines;
Those who wrote the unit histories (Australian, New Zealand and English);
Those that have written for the Australian War Memorial's Journal; the Gallipolian magazine; the Army Journal; the Defence Force Journal; the New Zealand Defence Quarterly and others.
Other authors on the subject (including French, Americans, Canadians and Turks);
All the newspapers of the day;
The Macquarie, Oxford and Collins dictionaries;
The compilers of the Imperial War Graves Commission's cemetery registers.
ALL used 'Anzac' when referring to the place, the holiday, or the men. They did not fully capitalise the proper noun because not only would that be an incorrect use of the term, it would also be incorrect use of basic grammar.
Almost every writer since 1915 has accepted that the word has different facets representing different concepts, that it is a word - a proper noun (or in some cases an adjective) - and we all (should) know that neither a proper noun nor an adjective is ever entirely capitalised.
Fully-capitalised acronyms may be used as words in order to avoid confusion with a word of the same spelling and pronunciation if that word already exists (for example PIN or AIDS - both these words - 'pin' and 'aids' already existed, so retaining the capitalisation for the new acronym helps avoid confusion). Obviously this is not the case with 'Anzac'. The word was invented in 1915, so there was no chance of confusion with an already-existing word (other examples of acronyms which evolved into nouns in the same way are 'Qantas', 'Fiat', 'scuba', 'laser' and 'radar'). The fully-capitalised acronym ANZAC refers only to the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps..
To fully capitalise 'Anzac' in any of these cases is both historically and grammatically incorrect. The fully capitalised 'ANZAC' refers only to the army formation which came into existence in 1915 and which was disbanded in early 1916, and that's how I use it on this site. That's how almost every writer has used it since 1915.
From Hart's
Rules, Oxford University Press 1983:
"As a general rule, abbreviations and contractions should be followed by a full point unless the shortened form consists [entirely] of upper-case initials or is a recognized acronym pronounced as a single word: thus print BBC, HMS, OUP, PAYE, PLC, SDP, SPCK, TUC, WEA; Anzac, Aslib, Fiat, Naafi (or NAAFI). Abbreviations and contractions consisting of a mixture of upper and lower case take full points, as in I.o.W. (Isle of Wight), Bt. (Baronet), Kt. (Knight), Ltd. (Limited), St. (Street), and university degrees (D.Litt., D.Phil., Ph.D., etc.); exceptions to be made for Dr (Doctor), Revd (Reverend; not Rev), Mr, Mrs, Mme, Mlle, St (Saint); here full points are not required."
I have increasingly often seen quotes taken from Bean and other authors where those doing the quoting - either in a magazine article, on a web site, or in a book - have capitalised the word 'Anzac' when it was NOT capitalised in the original document. I can only conclude that this is done to back the author's contention that the word should always be written in capitals. At worst, this is deliberate deception, and at best, sloppy research.
Most people will never read the original documents or official histories, and it's only reasonable for them to expect to be able to trust authors to have quoted truly and accurately from them.
Following are extracts from sources
which have correctly used the word 'Anzac':
How many soldiers died at Gallipoli?
The latest figures from our colleague Patrick Gariepy, who has been working on the British Commonwealth casualties for more than ten years and who, I believe, has a more accurate count than anybody, are as follows:
* Others comprise 14 men of the Zion Mule Corps, 11 of the Greek Labour Corps, 3 Guides & Interpreters and 1 man of the Maltese Labour Corps.
These figures include deaths at Gallipoli, or those who died of disease / wounds at sea, or on the Greek island of Lemnos, in Egypt, Malta, Gibraltar or Britain (including Ireland).
Please note that the French casualty figure is not included in the above table, but is generally agreed to be approximately 10, 000.
The official Turkish figure of about 87, 000 is controversial, and the number of Ottoman dead may really be much higher.
The most consistently inaccurate figure for allied casualties, quoted in many sources, is that for the Indians. In some places (including in the Australian War Memorial), this is given as more than 7,000 - a figure far above the true number of Indian army deaths
Who were the last survivors of the Gallipoli campaign by nationality?
The last New Zealand soldier was Alfred Douglas Dibley, who served as a stretcher-bearer at Gallipoli. Born at Wellington, New Zealand, on 26 June 1896, he died at Rotorua on 18 December 1997, aged 101 years.
The last French soldier was Ernest Stocanne. He was born 6 January, 1894, and served on Gallipoli with the 17th Artillery Regiment, French Expediditionary Corps. He died in December 1999, aged 105.
The last British soldier was Percy Goring, who served on Gallipoli with the Royal Engineers, 54th (East Anglian) Division. He died in Bunbury, Western Australia,on 27 July 2001, aged 106.
The last Turkish soldier was
The last Australian soldier, and last survivor of all who served on Gallipoli, was Alec Campbell. Born in Tasmania on 26 February, 1899, he served at Gallipoli as a sixteen-year-old with the 15th Battalion. He died in Tasmania on 16 May 2002, aged 103.
Who invented the automatic-firing rifle, as used during the evacuation to make the Turks believe the positions at Anzac were still manned?
The soldier who invented the automatically-firing rifle was Lance-Corporal William Charles Scurry, of the 7th Battalion (Victoria) [later Captain, MC, DCM, MiD, 58th Battalion].
[ April 2002] After having examined documents last month, it seems that there were actually two inventors who worked on the rifle together, but that one of them did not seek credit for it. I will add the second, 'unknown' inventor's details soon.
Who invented the periscope rifle?
The soldier who invented the periscope rifle was No. 1066, Lance-Corporal William Charles B. Beech, of the 2nd Battalion (New South Wales). [later Sergeant, Divisional HQ, returned to Australia Nov 1915].
I heard a poem years ago, something about the years of the Great War being a broken song. Do you know this poem?
In his book, 'The Broken Years', about the experiences of Australian soldiers in the war, Bill Gammage writes near the end:
'So the Great War brought change to the outlook of Australians. In September 1917 an Australian soldier wrote in his diary the following memorable lines:'
This project was begun in 1985, using the 'Appleworks' database on an Apple IIe computer (with 64k of RAM). It has evolved over time to become a computer database covering all Anzac soldiers who died through their service at Gallipoli.
The records in this website are a subset of that database
- the officers only - and this is further reduced by displaying only a handful
of the FULL individual records. Though they are included in the database,
we are unable at this time to list all the Anzacs who died at Gallipoli, as
we are constrained by server memory limitations.
(Currently only those officers whose photos appear on the site have their full records also included as separate pages).

In recent days, a photo of a 100-year-old tamarind tree with branches that look amazingly like the open legs of a naked woman became an Internet sensation after appearing on the Tabloid Prodigy website, quickly getting picked up by The Frisky and Jezebel, among other sites.
The tree, which is purportedly located at a police station in Thailand's northern province of Phayao, was said to not only resemble a woman's sex organ, but also has the numbers "008" printed mysteriously on the trunk.
In most cases, a tree that resembles a female's private parts would be amazing enough, but the story goes that locals who saw the mysterious numbers chose to play them in the lottery -- and won.
The story originally appeared the Thai-language newspaper Thai Rath, but was picked up by Tabloid Prodigy from an English-language rewrite in the Phuket Gazette.
Thongphian Thammakhan, 50, the owner of a shop on the police station grounds, supposedly told the Rath that the tree is about 100 years old. She said the tree has always had the gash in the trunk but has only recently developed the shiny mound. Villagers are apparently unsure as to why the lump shines.
However, there are aspects to the Vagina Tree story that smell funny to skeptics like Richard Rubacher, an expatriate writer living in Bangkok.
"None of the locals I've spoken with have even heard of the tree," said Rubacher, who has been living and writing about Thailand since 2001. "One tourism official just laughed and said, 'It's a hoax.' "
Rubacher believes that a tree shaped like a vagina is hard to miss and says that its existence wouldn't go unnoticed in Thailand.
"On the island of Koh Samui, about 400 miles from Bangkok, there are two rock formations that resemble male and female genitalia and they are very popular -- families flock to it," Rubacher said. "So you'd think a tree like this would have been reported before."
Adding to his skepticism is the fact that the story hasn't been reported in either of Thailand's top English-speaking newspapers, The Bangkok Post and The Nation, although he said the Phuket Gazette is considered reputable.
Rubacher interviewed Songsak Wannawijit, a police official who works at the station where the alleged vagina tree is located and he adamantly denied the existence of the sex-organ-shaped tree.
"I never heard of such a tree," Songsak said, before excusing himself for a moment to look outside. "I just looked at the court yard again. The vagina tree is not there."
Rubacher said the police official insisted that news reports about the tree's existence are definitely a "gohok," the Thai word for hoax.
He added, "If anyone had won the lottery, I would have known, as this would have been big news around here."
Until the veracity of the vagina tree can be proved, fans of sex-organ-shaped trees have to focus their attention on a vagina tree in McCarren Park in Brooklyn, and that has Brooklyn boosters like The Brooklyn Paper editor Gersh Kuntzman rubbing their, uh, hands with glee.

When an audience member raised her hand, seemingly volunteering to be a victim, Stamos revealed an old family secret his mother had recently told him. "God, you were an ugly baby," Stamos remembers his mom saying.
Stamos's mother was in the audience and said she brought him home from the hospital with a bonnet covering his face. "It took about six weeks, and then he was at least presentable for a photo," she said.
Maybe he should stop sending out headshots from when he was a baby.

'The O'Neals': Ryan Still Doesn't Get How Tatum Felt Abandoned (VIDEO)

None of that, however, can fill the void left by a father who's seemingly abandoned you without explanation. So while this road of healing is a long one, and Ryan definitely needs to start owning up a big more to the mistakes he's made, at least they seem to be on it. Maybe they'll even reach the end of it some day.

Tearing Down the House on the 'Greek' Series Finale (VIDEO)
by Jason Hughes, posted Mar 8th 2011 5:16AM
But idealism wasn't the only thing that crumbled in this finale, though don't call it sad. Despite their hopes for a miracle, the KT House wasn't spared the demolition.
But college is more than a building, and fraternity is more than a house. While showing us that you don't always win the good fight, we got to see that they all came out victorious in that they've each grown into the kinds of people they can be proud of.
'Greek' Season 4, Episode 3 Recap
Casey began her first day of classes bright eyed and bushy-tailed as usual. But in case the thought hadn't crossed your mind -- did you ever wonder how a full-fledged sorostitute like Casey Cartwright could ever be taken seriously in law school? That's right. She can't. In a storyline plucked straight from 'Legally Blonde,' Casey was ridiculed on her first day after she accidentally outed herself as the girl who got in due to a technicality. Bad move, Cartwright.
Like our favorite Harvard Law student, Casey was shunned from study groups and her ex didn't even try to stand up for her. Rude! Casey then went to complain to the professor. Seriously? The prof told her to grow a pair (well, not in those words exactly). Thank goodness ... Casey really needs to stop being so whiny and hiding herself in the home she's made for herself in ZBZ.

An Election About the Real Issues That Matter in College on 'Greek' (VIDEO)
by Jason Hughes, posted Jan 4th 2011 1:45AM
This is a college frat house, so it's not like there are big issues to debate, though a debate between the two of them espousing their particular platforms would have been incredibly entertaining.
Cappie's was all about fun: "Is it even possible to have more fun?" he asked his brothers. "I think not. Therefore, the only alternative is to have less fun. And we all know that less fun is not as fun as the fun we're already having." A well thought out argument. How would Casey counter it?
By getting to the root of what it's really all about: "If elected, I promise I will get you all laid." What more need be said? Let the first truly intellectual debate of the new year ring out. Who shall stand triumphant? And why can't they just agree that both ideas are winners?

2012 CIRP Strategic Plan and Goals
Central Goals
CIRP’s strategic plan is designed to foster implementation of a set of activities to further APA’s involvement in the promotion and development of psychology in the global world of the 21st Century and support the Association’s aspiration to excel as a principal leader and global partner promoting psychological knowledge and methods to facilitate the resolution of personal, societal and global challenges in diverse, multicultural and international contexts.
The broad goals are captured by seven program areas:
Acting in the world arena. Increasing awareness and opportunities for APA and psychology to be involved in international activities promoting human health, education and welfare, and in international policy arenas.
Fostering psychology in a global age. APA as a learning partner; building capacity.
Increasing international knowledge. Raising awareness of international activities and issues in Psychology to APA and APA members.
Expanding outward. Increasing the depth and breadth of connections among psychologists and psychological organizations around the world.
Welcoming the world. Increasing the number and engagement of APA’s international affiliates and members; working with fellow national psychology associations.
Promoting the value of cross-cultural and multicultural competence for U.S. psychologists. Integrating the study, research, and awareness of cross-cultural and multicultural issues across the Association..
Below, each goal is developed more fully; current activities in service of the goal are listed, and new activities are suggested. The first outcome of the strategic plan is the GOALS initiative.
Goal 1: Acting in the World Arena
(Increasing awareness and opportunities for APA and psychology to be involved in international activities promoting human health, education and welfare, and in international policy arenas).
Psychologists have long been active in the global arena, as visiting faculty, Fulbright Scholars, consultants and experts. Psychology as a discipline has been active in policy arenas through its global organizations (e.g., IUPsyS) and more recently individual member international organizations (e.g., IAAP, IACCP, ICP). The purpose of this goal is for APA to take a more active role through increased contacts with global organizations, and through serving as a conduit to encourage APA members to serve global organizations and to become engaged with global initiatives and activities. This might take place through more active and broad nominations, provision of commentary and expertise, and dissemination of information about opportunities.
Ongoing Activities
U.N. activities
U.N. representative team at U.N. Headquarters: involved in NGO committee structure; active in promoting psychology language and issues in U.N. statements and documents; disseminating psychology through briefings, presentations and other events in conjunction with U.N. conferences and meetings
Psychology Day at the United Nations, focusing on the contributions of psychology to issues before the U.N.
U.N. listserv (disseminate information about U.N. events to psychologists)
International meetings calendar
International conference registration grants
APA international awards
Convention programming
Guidance brochures on international exchanges, research, teaching, consultation
Collaboration with psychologists in U.S. agencies (e.g., USAID) to promote a psychological perspective in global health
Web listing of APA’s international activities
Policy Issues
APA policy on strategic response to international disasters (completed 2010)
New Activities
TBD
Goal 2: Fostering Psychology in a Global Age: APA as a Learning Partner
In the past, APA has played a large role in promoting psychology internationally; APA’s standards have been the model for standards elsewhere in ethics, curriculum development, publications. In addition APA has supported the growth of psychologists and psychology organizations worldwide through capacity building efforts and direct services.
Currently, the enormous growth in psychology programs and numbers of psychologists worldwide may require a different role in fostering the development of psychology.
Ongoing Activities
MOU program (at present, APA has MOUs signed with Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Jordan, Mexico, Norway, South Africa and the United Kingdom)
Small Grants for Program Development for National Associations (fostering capacity building for psychological organizations and psychologists)
International Affiliate Convention Registration Grants
Convention Travel Supplement Grants
Visitor’s Program for national psychology organization officers (see also Fostering Exchange)
Scientific Meeting Support Fund
Promoting regional partnerships with the Interamerican Society of Psychology (SIP), the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations (EFPA) ; ASEAN Regional Union of Psychological Societies (ARUPS); Caribbean Region
First Street Accord (mutual recognition agreement U.S.-Canada on accreditation processes)
Policy Issues
APA Resolution on Quality Assurance in International Education and Training — APA as a Learning Partner (2009)
Participation in the development of world-wide, concensus-based standards for psychology (2012 meeting on competency models for licensing, certification and credentialing)
New Activities
TBD
Goal 3: Increasing International Knowledge
Raising awareness of international activities and issues in Psychology to APA and APA members.
The OIA and CIRP have always worked actively to disseminate information about international events, activities and perspectives. The outcomes for this goal are to continue and expand ongoing dissemination activities and to develop mechanisms to collaborate with other APA offices, Divisions and members to do so.
Ongoing Activities
Psychology International (electronic newsletter; announcements; organization profiles; country profiles; series on international collaborations; international applications of psychology)
APA International Online (website): program descriptions, meeting calendar; directories FAQ’s
Cross-Division liaisons to CIRP to promote international Division activities
Cross-Directorate meetings to raise awareness of international opportunities within APA offices
APA contributions to Psychology Around the World (PATW) web resource
United Nations research briefs on Trauma and HIV/AIDS
Regular interaction with Monitor and GradPsych Staff to promote international content in articles
New Activities
TBD
Goal 4: Expanding Outward
Increasing the depth and breadth of connections with psychologists and psychological organizations around the world.
APA, CIRP and the OIA provide more or less passive resources to facilitate interactions, such as meeting calendars, directories and the like. The purpose of this goal is to develop active outreach and matching programs to facilitate and encourage exchange at both an individual and organizational level.
Ongoing or Completed Activities
MOU program
Maintain directories of international and national psychology organizations
Small grants for program development for National Associations
International conference registration grants
International meeting calendar
Scientific meeting support fund
ROMEO experts database
Psychology Association Presidents convention program (2012 and 2007)

Ongoing Activities
MOU program
International Affiliates program
Convention and International Congress receptions
Convention registration awards for international affiliates and students
International Mailbox
Listserv for International Members and Affiliates
Membership recruitment drives at international conferences
New Activities
TBD
Goal 6: Promoting the Value of Cross-cultural and Multicultural Competence for U.S. Psychologists
The study, research and awareness of cross-cultural and multicultural issues must be integrated across the Association in order for APA to realize its aspiration of being a “principal leader and global partner promoting psychological knowledge and methods to facilitate the resolution of personal, societal and global challenges in diverse, multicultural and international contexts.”
Ongoing/Completed Activities
Brochure series on “Going International: A Practical Guide for Psychologists.” The first booklet, Academics Going Abroad, was published in 2011
Proposed Activities
Promulgate APA Guidelines on Multicultural Education, Training, Research, Practice and Organizational Change (2002)
Collaborate on the revision of the Multicultural Guidelines
Work to incorporate international psychology/cross-cultural competence in all levels of the curriculum
Goal 7:.
Proposed Activities
Develop strategies for showcasing the importance of international psychology to domestic research, practice and application (e.g., demonstrate relevance to local psychologists)
Encourage all APA governance activities to include international perspectives
Encourage divisions to include international presenters and presenters who have research, clinical and teaching experience outside the U.S.
Develop strategies to bring more awareness to divisions of international issues and increase APA and division international membership
Develop international talking points for divisions, including descriptions of CIRP and OIA
Promote ROMEO as resource for international expertise
Develop capacity building initiatives to support international research expertise and research expertise in countries with less developed infrastructure
Encourage increased international submissions to APA journals
Develop capacity to have abstracts translated
New Activities
TBD

Q: Several years ago, I inherited a vintage Le Corbusier L4 Chaise upholstered in ecru canvas. It's exactly like the one on display in MOMA. The trouble is the canvas has gotten quite dingy over the years, making this lovely piece look, frankly, gross. I've considered getting rid of it, but it's an authentic piece so it's probably worth hanging onto if only I could clean it up.
I've looked around online and haven't found any advice about how to clean the canvas. Anyone out there have any ideas?

Image: Via Riba Journal
If it's really vintage I'd say you probably want to have it professionally cleaned. The only other things I can think of (and I don't really know how the upholstery works on these chaises) is to put on a slipcover, or, can you take off the padded parts, store them somewhere to save them, and put replacements on the chair?
I would consult a high quality dry cleaner. Take the cushion in and see what they suggest. I imagine that the cover can be removed but they should know best which seam to open and how to restitch it.
Or, failing that, talk to an upholsterer and see what they suggest.
Since it is an original piece, your first step should be to contact The Fondation Le Corbusier. The foundation's job is to conserve and preserve Le Corbusier's legacy, so I'm sure that someone there can help you with information regarding the canvas and the particular care needed.
Just a word of warning- your encounters with furniture conservators are going to be very costly. As a painting conservator we deal with furniture conservators and man, it's a pricey venture.
I'm just jealous. Which I had a LeCorbusier to lounge upon!
Um, yeah, you're going to want to hang on to that. Seconding the recommendations for asking a professional museum conservator.
If you do end up getting rid of it, please consider donating it to a museum or foundation rather than just putting it up on Craigslist - or if you do, make sure you sell to someone who will take care of it :)
Another catch- if you do have it conserved and in turn appraised and insured, you're going to inevitably, through the effort to preserve the piece as a work of art remove it from the realm of functional furniture to a degree. Really, will you be sitting, or allow guests to sit on a piece into which you've invested several thousands which is now appraised and insured...
All I'm saying is that your actions will dictate the future life of the piece... so before doing anything, perhaps it's wise to consider what you want out of the piece...
The cushion should have a zipper or flap in the back where you can slip the foam out. Once you freed it of its foam wash it in hot water and bleach and hang it dry (so it doesn't shrink). If you can't get it out call an upholstery cleaner. It should cost about 50-100 bucks for the house call.
Slightly off-topic: I have an LC4 by Cassina that needs a new leather or pony upholstered cushion. Is there a reputable source for such a thing? I see a million and one (dubious quality) reproductions of the entire chaise, but am at a loss as to where to get a quality version of only the cushion/upholstered top.
Throw a blanket on it until you can afford to have it professionally cleaned, and if it is in that bad of shape get it reupholstered, or give it me please.

I'm a huge fan of neutral rugs. They are fabulous for providing the foundation for a room and they work with pretty much any decor. Plus, the geometric patterns make the rug even more sophisticated! I just love that Handmade Luna Moroccan Trellis Wool Rug!
#2 is actually from $73.00 - $848.00. I got excited when I thought the biggest size would only be $84 haha. Nice rugs though! #5 is my favorite.
I love neutral, and I love rugs, but this room looks bland to me. Maybe it's the ubiquitous trellis rug that is everywhere now and makes me think of a generic hotel room.
Who makes the 'parker hotel' rug? It's amazing!
I love neutral rugs too, even in colourful rooms. I once had a more colourful rug in my living room, and it not only made the room feel smaller, it drew the eye downward instead of around the room.
I love rugs! Aside from it gives a beautiful look in our room i also like the texture of the rugs on my feet. :)

Social Security’s Trial Work Period works like this: Wages below $640 (Annually Indexed, effective 2007) gross per month do not affect your benefits or count as trial work months. You are allowed one nine-month trial work period within five years. Every month you have reported earned income of $640 or above counts as one trial work month (prior to 2002 the amount was $200; for year 2002 it was $530). The nine months do not have to be consecutive but can fall within a 60 month period.
Once you use up all nine trial work months, Social Security looks at how much you earned for each month to determine if you have Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA). Social Security considers monthly reported earned income of $900 gross or above as SGA. When Social Security determines that you have SGA you will be notified that the $$ portion of your benefit will be terminated after an additional 3 month “Grace Period”.
If you earn above $640 each of your nine trial months you can keep working and not lose your SSDI $$ benefit.
If you earned below $900 each of your nine trial months and continue to work, the first month thereafter that you earn over $900 you will be notified by Social Security that you have SGA and that you will loose your $$ benefit after three months.
If you earned over $900 each of your 33 months of EPE (following your TWP and three-month Grace Period) and continue to work above $900 per month, you will be notified by Social Security that you have SGA and should not receive a $$ benefit.
If your $$ benefit is suspended during the 33 months EPE period, you can have your benefit reinstated if your income falls below $900 or you stop working within that period of time. Medicare stays in place through the nine trial months, the three-month Grace Period and the 33 month Extended Period of Eligibility (EPE). A federal law passed in 1999 continues Medicare for another four and a half years after EPE, but recipients will have to pay Part B premiums ($93.50 per month, 2007).

Basically the stuff you should be listening to if you like gaming on your iPhone
One of the most surprising effects of people upgrading to iOS 6 and those crowds buying the new iPhone is not the early adoption of Passbook. Nope. The App Store free charts are topped for once by actual apps instead of free to play games. If you didn't dismiss the dialog message straightaway, you would have noticed how the revamped App Store app on iOS 6 suggests users to download Apple's own free apps. That explains why the otherwise boring Podcasts app is number two on the charts at the time of this writing. Maybe it's a good time to talk about the iOS-centric podcasts I listen every week.
In my previous post written a year ago Podcasts for the iPhone and iPad gamer I introduced to the podcasts I enjoy most. Not surprisingly, the list is still very relevant and these shows keep going. This year I'll drop TouchGen's one, which is struggling to keep up with the rest. There's also an intriguing new addition that I hope will manage to get some following and motivation to continue with more content. Here's the list:
The Pocket Gamer iPhone gaming podcast
Directly from some place between Cambridgeshire and the Midlands in the UK — who knows — comes one of the most hilarious shows about mobile gaming you can get hold of. Pocket Gamer is a well respected publication by gamers and industry people alike, but this podcast seems like a beer-fuelled backstage chat by the people I like reading.
The most notable thing to comment is the departure of its host Will Wilson, who left his role as deputy editor to become community manager at NaturalMotion. Yes, the developer making My Horse (and CSR Racing) but also an Apple protege and regular at its keynotes. I'm hoping that Will's work replying to angry pre-teens about their virtual pets will pay off someday speaking at the Yerba Buena Center.
The task of hosting the show now falls on James Gilmour's shoulders, who is doing an excellent job so far and is bringing his own style to the podcast. The usual guests include biz-man Jon Jordan and the newcomer Peter Willington, who must be a very loveable character full of charm in real life. The soul of the show is still Keith Andrew, who insists not playing anything to talk about in the show and comments instead about video game logos — Nice logo!
The Portable Podcast
Carter Dotson is the man when it comes to interviewing iOS game developers. I don't know any other person who has talked and published more interviews than him, which should tell you the host of the Portable Podcast is more knowledgeable than your average journalist.
The format has remained similar over its 150+ episodes, with two interviews in each and some special editions with regular guests Brett Nolan from AppsAddict.net and Blake Grundman from 148Apps—the network supporting the show. This is an invaluable resource for budding developers and a total treat for gamers, as you get first hand commentary from the creators of carefully selected titles that go unnoticed at times. Needless to say, I tend to buy the games of the developers that sound like nice people.
The careful selection of interviewees also keeps away the typical spokesperson and marketing guys you get in other shows. Carter's warmth and honesty makes for a very personal interview where developers are free to promote their game but often end up talking about other interesting things.
The Touch Arcade Show
After a blazing first year and a half on air, The Touch Arcade Show just released a Rewind edition where they explain to new iPhone 5 owners what they're about. This is definitely not the most intellectual of the podcasts out there — there's plenty of swearing and silly talk — but it's definitely fun.
Hosted by the editors of the prominent website of the same title, Brad Nicholson, Eli Hodapp and Jared Nelson are an excellent mix that refine their style making the show more and more personal with every show. For the new listener it requires some catch back with past episodes as some jokes are very random, but the experience is worth it.
As Jared puts it, this is like talking to your mates about iOS gaming in case you didn't have anyone else to share your interest with… and I agree! Despite their position as a well-known site, there's a lot of criticism about shady free-to-play models and they often make fun of angry teenage readers that complain about the "high" prices of mobile games.
If you like the style, you should also check out the new YouTube channel TA plays where they comment as they play video games.
Walled Garden Weekly
The new addition on the list is also departure from the news reporting style of iOS podcasts mentioned above. This is hosted by developers Arash Keshmirian and Kevin Pazirandeh of Tower Madness, Zombie Gunship and Zombie Highway fame.
With just ten episodes I thought it was a good milestone to show appreciation to their work, making it easier for gamers to understand what goes into creating a successful title and teaching developers from their experience.
While the format tries to stick to commenting on a couple of popular games on the App Store, the show is very much freeform and the hosts end up relating with past experiences, promising to expand on certain areas in the future. I find the whole thing very informative and insightful and I'd love to hear more from them. If you would like to learn about monetization, game design, freemium strategies and even how to handle success, I recommend you download a couple of their shows.
You can subscribe to these shows and get new shows downloaded directly on your device. Apple has it's own free app but I particularly like these two alternatives:

Those yellow energy guide labels we all rely on to pick energy efficient appliances, have come under scrutiny from the US Department of Energy (DOE). As we wrote about in November, manufacturers covet the EnergyStar label and use the yellow sticker to entice buyers.
Those labels may not be as accurate as you think. A review of previous filings for the labels found instances of missing or incorrect information.
The DOE addressed the problem this month by giving manufacturers
