This week's challenge:
"Create a look for one of your friends (it can be someone who you think needs a little fashion help or just someone you'd like to design for). We'd love to see a photo of the friend you are designing for." (courtesy of Just Crafty Enough)
I chose my bestie. She doesn't really need much fashion help, I just really wanted to design for her.
A little bit about Chelsea:
She works full time in a male centered kinda job. She's an independent woman who has found her match in a wonderful man whom she married this past month. She's buff! I mean - really sporty and really takes care of herself. Here is a link to the blog about her engagement photos. Isn't she beautiful?
I wanted this design to show that part of her. She tends to wear jeans and other work gear that hides her great bod. And nothing that reflects the sporty side of her personality.
So I tried...
We all just about fell down in shock when Chelsea actually put on a dress for her wedding. Not just a dress, but a fancy white dress with bows and crinoline. EEEEE!! But I knew that we wouldn't get her into a dress again, so I stuck with pants.
I made the top form fitting and yet comfortable and sporty.
Hmmm she might actually wear this one. I've been her friend for 26 years now and I still have no idea what she'll actually wear hehehe.
The outfit was pretty safe this week. Nothing too out there design wise. So I'd probably be somewhere in the middle. At least I used a little colour!
And for your amusement - here is a photo of me, my little sister and Chelsea circa 1987. We were playing dress up and I happened to dress her up as a sporty cheerleader. A running theme with me? Possibly.

Get in[edit]
By plane[edit]
The nearest airport to Fukui is in Komatsu. Buses connect Komatsu Airport with Komatsu Station for ¥260, from which you can take a Hokuriku Line local train for the 50 minute run to Fukui (¥820).
If coming internationally, the best airport to arrive in is Kansai Airport in Osaka. From Kansai Airport, you can reach Fukui by train in about 3 1/2 hours by taking the Haruka limited express train to Shin-Osaka, and transferring across the platform to the Thunderbird, described below.
By train[edit]
Fukui is a major station on the JR Hokuriku line, which links Toyama with Maibara. A connection to the Kosei Line at Tsuruga provides a direct link to Kyoto and Osaka.
Fukui is connected to Kyoto and Osaka 1-2 times per hour by the Thunderbird train. This train makes the run from Osaka to Fukui in about 1 hour, 50 minutes. From Kyoto, the run takes about 1 hour, 20 minutes. The price for the service is ¥5700 from Osaka and ¥4600 from Kyoto.
The Shirasagi limited express also stops at Fukui on runs from Nagoya and Maibara. From the latter it takes one hour and costs ¥3100.
If coming from Tokyo, take the hourly Tokaido Shinkansen Hikari service that stops at Maibara station. From Maibara, take the Shirasagi to Fukui (3 1/2 hours, ¥14000).

I'm borrowing this post from another forum, because the guy was having troubles very similar to what i'm having, and i'm doing a very similar project. the assignment is one of the Josephus problem, including, from a command line, have a user enter 2 values, 1 for the amount of people, and the other for the number of people to pass. the Josephus problem is:
N people, numbered 0 to N-1, are sitting in a circle. Starting at person 0, a hot potato is passed. After M people touch the potato, the person holding the potato is eliminated, the circle closes ranks, and the game continues with the person sitting after the eliminated person starting with the potato. The last person remaining wins.
Write a program to accept two command line inputs representing N (the number of people in the circle) and M (the number of people required to touch the hot-potato before a person is eliminated). Initialize a StringBuffer to consist of the characters numbered 0 through N-1 (note: since there are 216 = 65,536 Unicode characters your program will be capable of solving Josephus' Problem up to this value of N).
I've got my code to where I think it should at least work with figuring out the last person left after the entire Josephus problem is carried out, but I keep getting out of bounds compile-time errors whenever I run my code, like the following:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException:String index out of range
Here is my code thus far:
If anyone could point out where the problems with this could be occurring, I'd appreciate it. If someone could also provide me with some tips for figuring out problems like this on my own more easily, I would definitely appreciate that as well. I've just played around with the numbers for the past few hours with no luck at ever getting it to run successfully.Code:import java.lang.StringBuffer; public class Josephus { public static void main (String[] args) { //These two variables store the two values for the people and the passes. int num = 0; int pass = 0; //This variable stores the value of the current index. int index = 0; //These two variables store the command line inputs. String N = args[0]; String M = args[1]; //Output the command line inputs. System.out.println("There will be " + N + " people."); System.out.println("A person will be eliminated for every " + M + " touches."); //Convert the String command line inputs to integers. Integer tmpN = Integer.valueOf(N); num = tmpN.intValue(); Integer tmpM = Integer.valueOf(M); pass = tmpM.intValue(); //Array stores the deleted values. int[] deleted = new int[num]; //Create a new StringBuffer for the program. StringBuffer josephus = new StringBuffer(num); //Create the values needed for the program. for(int i=0; i<num; i++) { josephus.append((char)(i+1)); } //Test garbage. System.out.println(); System.out.println((int)josephus.charAt(pass-2)); //Loop to solve the Josephus problem. Note the -1 may need changed. for(int i=0; i><num-1; i++) { if((index+pass) > (num)) { index = (index + pass) % (num); //Get the value from the StringBuffer, then delete the value. deleted[i] = (int)josephus.charAt(index); josephus.delete(index, index+1); } else { index += pass; deleted[i] = (int)josephus.charAt(index); josephus.delete(index, index+1); } } System.out.println("The final remaining member is " + (int)josephus.charAt(0)); } }

A. Eligible Classes
USD's LRAP is available to law graduates in the graduating class of 1993 and thereafter.
B. Eligible Employment
Graduates are eligible to participate in the Program if they (a) work in full-time law or law-related positions with a nonprofit organization qualifying for tax exemption under section 501(c) 3 or 501(c) 4 of the Internal Revenue Code, and (b) earn an annual salary of $70,000 or less at time of initial application for LRAP participation. At this time, employment with government agencies (including courts) is not qualifying employment.
C. Minimum Debt Requirement
Because one of the objectives of the Program is to help those burdened with the largest debts, a graduate must have a minimum law school debt at the initial application of $80,000 (including private loans). Undergraduate debt may not count toward the minimum debt requirement; however, it will be considered in determining the level of Program benefits available to an eligible graduate.
D. Calculation of Program Benefits
It is the intent of the USD LRAP to vary program benefits based on the graduate's ability to repay law school loans and the amount of funding available for LRAP purposes. For example, an unmarried graduate with no assets making $30,000 per year in qualifying employment might be assisted to a greater degree than would a married graduate who makes $45,000 per year in qualifying employment and has spousal income assistance. Participating graduates will be required to complete standard financial aid forms and submit relevant financial documentation requested by the LRAP Governing Board. The calculation of program benefits will consider, among other things, the graduate's adjusted gross income (AGI) from federal tax forms, spousal income (if any), assets, number of dependents, and other financial obligations. If, based upon the above calculation, the Governing Board determines that a graduate is capable of repaying 100% of his/her loan obligation, then Program eligibility is terminated. Additionally, if a graduate's AGI exceeds $85,000 annually, program eligibility is terminated.

Linksys/Sprint EVDO WRT54G3GV2-ST Router Review Now Online
Linksys has launched a revised EVDO router for use with 3G mobile broadband devices on Sprint's EVDO network. The Linksys WRT54G3GV2-ST (or 3GV2 for short) allows multiple computers to share a single EVDO connection, rather than having to swap the Sprint EVDO card or USB modem between computers.
The 3GV2 works with current Sprint EVDO devices like the Compass 597 and Ovation U727 USB modems (but not the U680), as well as the Novatel EX720 and Sierra Wireless AirCard 597E ExpressCards (adapter required but not provided).
The 3GV2 also shares the same dimensions as the older version, still has one ethernet WAN port to allow use as a Cable/DSL/Satellite router, four ethernet 10/100 ports for LAN networking, a PCMCIA slot for EVDO cards, and still uses the same WiFi "G" radio and 3.3 dBi external WiFi antenna.
Check out the FULL REVIEW, now online at http://www.EVDOinfo.com/3GV2

Norwich cop shot during standoff; crime scene still active
NORWICH -- Connecticut police say a Norwich officer has been shot and injured at an apartment complex where a suicidal gunman is in a standoff with police.
A spokesman for Yale-New Haven Hospital said Officer Jonathan Ley was reported in critical condition there Monday evening.
Police said the officer was shot several times after responding to a report at about 2:45 p.m. that a man at the Cedar Glen Apartment Complex had threatened to provoke police into killing him.
Police said several shots were fired at about 4 p.m., and the officer was struck.
Police took the wounded officer from the building to a Norwich hospital, and he was transferred by helicopter to Yale-New Haven.
Police evacuated the apartment complex, and were trying to negotiate with the man.

We always recommend travelling by public transport in and around London. Car parking in the capital can be very expensive. The best way to travel is by bus or tube. The London Underground is easy to follow and will connect you to all places of interest. London's Theatreland is a relatively small area and most theatres are within a short walking distance of each other. Theatres What are Stalls and Dress? And which is better? Stalls are otherwise knows as Orchestra Stalls or Orchestra Seats. They are the lowest seating section of the theatre and closest to the stage. Dress Circle or Royal Circle is the next tier of seating above the Stalls, this is sometimes known as the first balcony or mezzanine. Our top price seats consist only of the best seats in the theatre, typically most of the Stalls and the first few rows of the Dress Circle. None of our top price or "Best Seats" will have restricted views. We also offer less expensive tickets which may have restricted views. Is there a dress code for London theatres? There is no dress code for most theatres, however we would advise that customers dress smart-casual. Dress code for our evening cruises is smart only, no jeans or trainers. As a general guide, we would recommend that you make an effort to look smart, but be comfortable. Are there any performances on Sundays? Most theatres in London are closed on Sundays. However, some shows such as The Lion King at The Lyceum theatre do have Sunday performances. What time should I arrive at the theatre? It is best to arrive at the theatre at least 30 minutes prior to the performance. Can I take photographs of the show? No video cameras, cameras or recording devices are allowed in any theatres. In some of the larger theatres, images from the show can be bought in the foyer. Souvenir programmes are also available at most shows. Do the theatres have wheelchair access? Do they have induction loops for the hard of hearing? Most London theatres offer facilities for the disabled. However, you will need to contact our administration team to make your booking, as there are only a small number of such facilities at each venue. For further information, it's probably best to contact the theatres directly. Children Can my child/baby attend the theatre? Will the show be suitable for children? All London theatres state that no babies in arms may be allowed to attend. This is to ensure that all customers enjoy the show. Young children are admitted but are not encouraged to attend unless the parent is confident the child will not distract other members of the audience. Everyone must have a valid ticket and occupy a seat. Accompanying adults will be asked to remove any noisy infants. Generally, most musicals in London's Theatreland are suitable for children but please note that as a GENERAL guideline, an age of 5 years and over is recommended (more specific age limits may apply with differing productions). Do you offer child/student discounts? Sadly, there are no reductions for children. However, depending on the hotel, children can often stay for free in their parent or guardian's room. Child prices are typically less at attractions such as Madame Tussaud's. There is no discount for students unless you are part of a school group.

High Strung: And loving that energy!
The High Strung
at Miller's
August 17
It's 12:56 in the morning, I'm hopped up on coke (a cola) and nicotine, hopped down on beer, and need sleep more than any time in recent memory. But before I head off to sleeping-pill heaven, I must regale you with the story of The High Strung, a little band that could.
Hailing from NYC, The High Strung undertook a 10-hour trip down from our capital city of culture to play a one-night gig in our fair burg, and thanks to the fact that it's Sunday night (and apparently the Gods are angry at the group), I made up 50 percent of their viewing audience. But my fortitude in the face of social oblivion (i.e. sitting alone at the bar) paid off for once, and I was gifted with a good 45 minutes of some of the best, most energetic pop/rock I've seen in years.
Part the Kinks, part Supergrass, part apparent speed-freaks, The High Strung embody (at least my version of) the British Empire more than any true British band I've seen. From the first distortion-filled chord, the group continuously dropped pop nuggets like they were mere afterthoughts.
Two guitars, a bass, and drums made up the group's live setup, and in the small confines of Miller's, our (as in mine and the other dude at the bar) eardrums were pushed to the limit. The group's first tune, a pop nugget to say the least, instantly showed some of the strengths of the group: two-guitar fisticuffs, the strong voice of the left hand guitarist (high and smoky, just the way I like it), and the tightness of the group as a whole.
With barely a break between songs, the group's second number was nearly as good as the first; the right hand guitarist took over vocal duties for this tune, which featured one of the best middle eights (a term used by the Beatles instead of bridge) I've ever heard.
From there, the ghost of Ray Davies, lead singer of the Kinks, seemed to make his presence known the next tune, which featured a two-chord verse and a '60s style singalong chorus made at least half the audience present (me) smile with joy. The song also featured the first guitar solo of the evening, a short little freak-out before the song resumed its frantic retro pace.
Hit after hit flew from the stage of Miller's, and into my head, with three-part harmonies, crunchy guitar licks, and goofing off only adding to the effects that an evening of great music can have.
Look, I can only tell you this a certain number of times before it loses its effect, but The High Strung will be returning to Miller's soon (let's hope on a more populated night), and I honestly urge you to check them out. It'll be worth it, I guarantee it!

TV host says sorry after flashing pregnant Kate bikini shots
UK TV host Eamonn Holmes was forced to apologise after an unblurred image of Kate Middleton in a bikini "accidentally" flashed up on screen during This Morning.
The image appeared when the publication of the photographs of pregnant Kate were being discussed.
Apologising for the oversight on the news review section today, presenter Holmes said: "Earlier during today's news review we were discussing photographs of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on a beach in Mustique published in an Italian magazine.
"Unfortunately we accidentally showed an unblurred image of the magazine cover, which briefly showed the photographs. This was a deeply regrettable error and we are very sorry. We apologise unreservedly to the Duke and the Duchess."
The photographs, which are said to show Kate strolling on a beach on the island of Mustique, have been condemned by St James's Palace.
The gaffe comes months after This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield handed David Cameron a list of alleged paedophiles he had compiled by "internet rumours".
ITV apologised on the next day's show and emphasised it was not pointing the finger at anyone in particular. Schofield was later forced to apologise as the list was briefly exposed on screen.
Aussie magazine also to run bikini pictures of Kate
Meanwhile, Australian Woman's Day has joined Italian gossip magazine, Chi, in deciding to print the photos of Kate and William's recent Caribbean holiday, where Kate was snapped wearing a blue bikini and strolling on a beach.
Women's Day will run the photos in Monday's issue, which also features pictures of Kate's sister Pippa Middleton, who was holidaying with the royals on the island of Mustique, staying in an AU$8 million villa.
Editor of the weekly glossy mag, Fiona Connolly, has defended her decision to run the photos saying Australia is a lot more laid back as a nation than the British, especially when it comes to the beach.

Diagnosis of esophageal cancer
Diagnosing esophageal cancer usually begins with a visit to your family doctor. Your doctor will ask you about any symptoms you have and do a physical exam. Based on this information, your doctor may refer you to a specialist or order tests to check for esophageal cancer or other health problems.
The process of diagnosis may seem long and frustrating. It's normal to worry, but try to remember that other health conditions can cause similar symptoms as esophageal cancer. It's important for the healthcare team to rule out other reasons for a health problem before making a diagnosis of esophageal cancer.
The following tests are commonly used to rule out or diagnose esophageal cancer. Many of the same tests used to diagnose cancer are used to find out the stage, which is how far the cancer has progressed. Your doctor may also order other tests to check your general health and to help plan your treatment.
|Diagnostic tests
|Staging and other tests
Health history and physical exam
Your health history is a record of your symptoms, risk factors and all the medical events and problems you have had in the past. In taking a health history, your doctor will ask questions about a personal history of:
- symptoms that suggest esophageal cancer
- gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Barrett's esophagus
- smoking
- alcohol use
- tylosis, which is a rare inherited disease that causes scaly patches (called hyperkeratosis) on the palms or soles and growths with finger-like projections (called papillomas) in the esophagus
- irritation, injury or damage to the esophagus (for example, swallowing lye as a child)
- Plummer-Vinson syndrome (also called Paterson-Kelly syndrome), which is a rare syndrome that affects the mucous membranes of the esophagus
- upper airway cancer, such as oral cavity, throat (pharynx) or larynx cancers
- achalasia, which is a disease that affects the nerves and muscles of the esophagus so that it is difficult to swallow
Your doctor may also ask about a family history of:
- esophageal cancer
- risk factors for esophageal cancer
A physical exam allows your doctor to look for any signs of esophageal cancer. Your doctor will do a physical exam and:
- check if your voice is hoarse
- feel the lymph nodes above the collarbone and in the neck to check for swelling
- feel the abdomen for enlarged organs or a buildup of fluid in the abdomen (called ascites)
- check the spine for any pain in the vertebrae

Complete blood count (CBC)
A CBC measures the number and quality of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. A CBC is done to check for anemia from long-term, or chronic, bleeding. A CBC may also be done to set a baseline to compare with blood tests done during and after treatment to check the effects of therapies that can lower blood cell counts.
Find out more about complete blood count (CBC).
Blood chemistry tests
Blood chemistry tests measure certain chemicals in the blood. They show how well certain organs are functioning and can help find abnormalities.
Liver function tests may be done to stage esophageal cancer. These tests measure lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and bilirubin to check how well the liver is working. Higher levels of these enzymes may mean the cancer has spread to the liver. Higher levels of ALP may also mean the cancer has spread to the bone.
Find out more about blood chemistry tests.
Upper GI series
An upper gastrointestinal (GI) series may also be called a barium swallow. Barium is a thick, chalky liquid that coats the inside of organs and shows their outline clearly on an x-ray. During an upper GI series, you swallow barium and then a technician takes x-rays of the upper GI tract, including the esophagus, stomach and upper small intestine.
An upper GI series is often the first diagnostic test used to check for esophageal cancer. It can show:
- a break in the surface of the esophagus (called ulceration)
- narrowing, or stricture, of the esophagus
- the location and general size of a tumour in the esophagus
- an abnormal opening from the esophagus into the trachea (called tracheoesophageal fistula)
- spread of cancer to the stomach
Find out more about upper GI series.
Upper GI endoscopy
An upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is done to examine the upper GI tract, including the esophagus, stomach and the first part of the small intestine (called the duodenum). This procedure is sometimes called an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) because it examines all of these organs. It may also be called an esophagogastroscopy when only the esophagus and stomach are examined.
An upper GI endoscopy uses an endoscope, which is a flexible tube with a light and lens on the end. The doctor passes the endoscope through the mouth and down the throat into the esophagus. Before the procedure, a local anesthetic is sprayed onto the back of the throat to numb it. Intravenous (IV) medication may be given as well.
An upper GI endoscopy is done to:
- check the esophagus, stomach and duodenum for bleeding, ulcers, tumours, inflammation or narrowing (called stricture)
- take samples of tissue to be tested in the lab (biopsy)
An ultrasound may be done with an endoscope (called endoscopic ultrasound, or EUS) during upper GI endoscopy. The ultrasound is done to see how deep into the layers of the esophagus the tumour has grown and if the cancer has spread to any nearby lymph nodes. Biopsies may be done by a needle.
If there is a narrowing or blockage of the esophagus, esophageal dilation or stent may be done during endoscopy.
Find out more about endoscopy.
EUS uses an endoscope with an ultrasound probe. Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to make images of structures in the body. It can provide detailed information about the location, size and depth of the tumour. It can also show doctors if the cancer has spread to surrounding lymph nodes or tissues.
EUS is often done at the same time as an upper GI endoscopy. The doctor may also do fine needle aspiration through the wall of the esophagus during EUS to check for cancer in surrounding lymph nodes.
Find out more about ultrasound.
During a biopsy, the doctor removes tissues or cells from the body so they can be tested in a lab. The report from the lab will confirm whether or not cancer cells are present in the sample.
Endoscopic biopsy removes tissue from the esophagus through an endoscope during an upper GI endoscopy or endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). With EUS, the doctor may also do fine needle aspiration through the wall of the esophagus to check for cancer in surrounding lymph nodes. A brush biopsy may also be used. The doctor inserts and removes the needle or brush through the endoscope as they look inside the esophagus. The needle or brush is used to remove cells from an abnormal-looking or suspicious area.
CT-guided biopsy removes tissue samples from abnormal or suspicious lymph nodes using a CT scan to guide the biopsy needle.
Laparoscopic biopsy removes tissue samples from areas in the abdomen using a laparoscope. It may be used to see if cancer has spread to the abdomen.
Find out more about biopsy.
CT scan
A computed tomography (CT) scan uses special x-ray equipment to make 3-D and cross-sectional images of organs, tissues, bones and blood vessels inside the body. A computer turns the images into detailed pictures.
Doctors may do a CT scan of the chest and abdomen, and sometimes the pelvis. It is used to find out the size and location of an esophageal tumour and see if the cancer has spread to surrounding lymph nodes, nearby organs or tissues. It can also be used to see if there is cancer in more distant organs such as liver, lungs or adrenal glands.
A dye (called a contrast medium) may be used to make certain structures show up better on the scan. It may be injected into a vein or you may be asked to drink the contrast medium. The contrast medium coats the esophagus, stomach and small intestine. This will help the doctor examine the lining of the upper GI tract for any areas of narrowing or ulceration. Tell your doctor or the radiology staff if you know you are allergic to contrast mediums.
A CT scan is better at staging advanced esophageal cancer than finding small, early stage esophageal tumours.
Find out more about CT scan.
PET scan
A positron emission tomography (PET) scan uses radioactive materials called radiopharmaceuticals to look for changes in the metabolic activity of body tissues. A computer analyzes the radioactive patterns and makes 3-D colour images of the area being scanned.
A PET scan can be combined with a CT scan (called PET/CT). Newer machines can do a PET and CT scan at the same time. PET/CT provides more detailed information about structures in the body that are sometimes hard to see with PET alone.
Find out more about PET scan.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses powerful magnetic forces and radiofrequency waves to make cross-sectional images of organs, tissues, bones and blood vessels. A computer turns the images into 3-D pictures.
MRI may be used to see if esophageal cancer has spread to the brain, spinal cord, adrenal glands or other organs and tissues.
Find out more about MRI.
Pulmonary function tests
Pulmonary function tests (also called lung function tests) check how well the lungs are working. These tests are important if the doctors are considering surgery as a treatment option for esophageal cancer. These tests help make sure you are healthy enough to have surgery.
Find out more about pulmonary function tests.
Heart function tests
The doctors may order heart function tests to make sure you are healthy enough to have and recover from surgery. Electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity in the heart. Echocardiogram (echo) uses ultrasound to look at the structure and motion of the heart.
Find out more about electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram (echo).
Nutritional assessment
Many people diagnosed with esophageal cancer have serious nutrition problems and weight loss. Good nutrition is especially important for people with cancer.
The healthcare team often does a nutritional assessment before treatment. They will make sure that you are healthy enough to have and recover from treatment.
Find out more about nutrition for people with cancer.
A thoracoscopy is a procedure that allows the doctor to look inside and take samples from the chest cavity. The doctor makes a small cut through the chest wall and places a tube-like instrument with a light and lens, called a thoracoscope, into the chest between 2 ribs.
Doctors usually do a thoracoscopy to look for cancer in lymph nodes and other organs near the esophagus inside the chest. They may also take biopsy samples during thoracoscopy.
Find out more about thoracoscopy.
A laparoscopy is a procedure that uses an endoscope (a thin, tube-like instrument with a light and lens) to examine or treat organs inside the abdomen and pelvis. It allows doctors to examine and remove internal organs through several small incisions, or cuts. Doctors may also take biopsy samples during a laparoscopy (called laparoscopic biopsy).
A laparoscopy is used to accurately stage esophageal cancer so doctors can plan treatment. It may find cancer that has spread to other parts of the abdomen that wasn't seen on a PET or CT scan.
A bronchoscopy is a procedure that allows doctors to look inside the trachea (windpipe) and bronchi (large airways of the lung) to look for abnormal areas. The doctor passes a tube-like instrument with a light and lens, called a bronchoscope, through the mouth or nose into the airways to the lungs.
Find out more about bronchoscopy.

Samsung Galaxy S3 TecTile Tags Issue Commands to Devices With a Tap
Samsung Galaxy S3 TecTile Tags Issue Commands to Devices With a Tap
Samsung recently announced a new accessory for its Galaxy S3 and all other smartphones that contain NFC (near-field communications) known as TecTiles.
These are programmable NFC tags that can elevate the phones' performance by utilizing the NFC function.
The TecTiles can be programmed to set off a predefined function or setting in the Samsung smartphone. This includes adjusting phone settings, joining a Wi-Fi network, making a call, sending a text, opening a web page and updating a social network status.
The tags look like a sticker and in order to be activated, a user must tap them with the NFC-powered device.
The Samsung TecTiles are compatible with all NFC-enabled Android smartphones. They can be purchased through various major U.S. carriers including AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile, and the going price is $14.99 for a pack of five.
Samsung seems to be releasing a lot of interesting accessories for smartphones as of late. The company recently announced some of the extras it is planning to launch that are made specifically for the Galaxy S3.
Among these little extras are a Wi-Fi Display Hub, Desktop Dock and Holder and Battery Charger.
The Wi-Fi Hub allows Galaxy S3 owners to view whatever is on their smartphone's screen on their TVs- provided they have an HDMI input.
One of the interesting discoveries made regarding the Wi-Fi Hub is that it can only work with the Samsung Galaxy S3, but not with other similar products such as the S2 or Galaxy Note.
The Desktop Dock holds the Galaxy S3 upright while charging it. It also has outputs for extra audio components such as speakers where users can listen to their music that is stored on the device. The Dock also allows Galaxy S3 owners to instantly sync up their device with their computers as well.
The Holder and Battery Charger also acts as a holder for the Galaxy S3. It also has a compartment for a spare battery where it can be charged up and used in case the battery dies.

Police have identified a motorcyclist who died after colliding with an oncoming van as Leonard Patton of 604 13th Ave. NW in Largo. The accident took place at 3:47 p.m. Monday at the intersection of Bryant Street and Myrtle Avenue. Patton, 36, was heading south on Myrtle on a 2001 Harley-Davidson while a 1987 Dodge van driven by Darryl Hammond, 20, of Clearwater was going north. Both vehicles were traveling close to the center line of the road when Patton apparently tried to move to avoid the van, police said Tuesday. Patton apparently lost control of the motorcycle and was ejected, landing in the southbound lane of the road. His motorcycle then skidded into the northbound lane, where Hammond swerved to miss it. In doing so, Hammond's van went into the southbound lane and ran over Patton. Police said Hammond continued down the road to his home nearby, parked and walked back to the scene where he talked to investigators. No charges had been filed Tuesday and an investigation was continuing.

Editor's Comment: This interesting study examines the link between allergies and herpesvirus reactivation.The author of the article proposes that individuals with allergies (atopic individuals) may be prone to more severe and atypical herpes-related illnesses, due to a TH2 shift in their immune systems. Interestingly, the reactivation of latent herpesviruses can actually provoke this shift by increasing the expression of immune-suppressing cytokines, such as IL-10 and IL-6. The author recommends treatment with antivirals for atopic patients who present with atypical symptoms of herpesvirus reactivation. The reactivation of latent herpesvirus due to a TH2 shift has long been proposed as one of the pathological mechanisms of CFS/ME. This study provides further support for the role of antivirals as a treatment for a subset of CFS/ME patients, particularly those with a history of allergies.
Herpes viruses and the microbiome
Subscribe to the World's Most Popular Newsletter (it's free!)
By David H. Dreyfus
The focus of this article will be to examine the role of common herpesviruses as a component of the microbiome of atopic patients and to review clinical observations suggesting that atopic patients might be predisposed to more severe and atypical herpes-related illness because their immune response is biased toward a TH2 cytokine profile. Human populations are infected with 8 herpesviruses, including herpes simplex virus HSV1 and HSV2 (also termed HHV1 and HHV2), varicella zoster virus (VZV or HHV3), EBV (HHV4), cytomegalovirus (HHV5), HHV6, HHV7, and Kaposi sarcoma–associated herpesvirus (termed KSV or HHV8). Herpesviruses are highly adapted to lifelong infection of their human hosts and thus can be considered a component of the human "microbiome" in addition to their role in illness triggered by primary infection. HSV1 and HSV2 infection and reactivation can present with more severe cutaneous symptoms termed eczema herpeticum in the atopic population, similar to the more severe eczema vaccinatum, and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms syndrome (DRESS) is associated with reactivation of HSV6 and possibly other herpesviruses in both atopic and nonatopic patients. In this review evidence is reviewed that primary infection with herpesviruses may have an atypical presentation in the atopic patient and conversely that childhood infection might alter the atopic phenotype. Reactivation of latent herpesviruses can directly alter host cytokine profiles through viral expression of cytokine-like proteins, such as IL-10 (EBV) or IL-6 (cytomegalovirus and HHV8), viral encoded and secreted siRNA and microRNAs, and modulation of expression of host transcription pathways, such as nuclear factor ?B. Physicians caring for allergic and atopic populations should be aware of common and uncommon presentations of herpes-related disease in atopic patients to provide accurate diagnosis and avoid unnecessary laboratory testing or incorrect diagnosis of other conditions, such as drug allergy or autoimmune disease. Antiviral therapy and vaccines should be administered promptly when indicated clinically.

Evernote for Android now supports handwritten notes
In its bid to create "a better Evernote", a long-awaited feature is arriving today for Android users: Handwriting. At last, you can pick up your smartphone or tablet and quickly jot down some notes with your finger or stylus.
Within any note, the Android app will now show a pen icon in the top right-hand corner. Once selected, a spotted canvas will appear on screen and you can begin writing or drawing immediately, just as you would in a paper-based notebook. There are four colors and three thickness options to choose from, as well as a simple eraser for fixing mistakes and hiding embarrassing doodles.
Using the two arrows at the top and bottom of the screen, you can quickly edit different sections and request extra 'paper' when necessary. I tried the feature on both a Moto X and Nexus 7 and found it to be both accurate and natural.
While it was fun to draw (terrible) illustrations with my digits, I found it tricky to write or draw anything meaningful. Stylus input is likely the way to go, either with a device like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, or a third-party utensil such as the Pencil by FiftyThree.
Notably, you can also weave handwriting into other note types. So if you want to add a chart, photo or audio recording, you can back out of the dotted canvas and add them as normal underneath. "Say you're in chemistry class," Evernote said. "You should be able to type everything that the professor says, then draw a chemical structure, then type some more, all while recording the audio from the lecture. These aren't separate ideas. They should all live together."
In today's update, Evernote also added text highlighting and made the in-app camera "at least two times faster" than before. If you found it to be a tad laggy in the past, hopefully this will rectify the problem.

Giant ad with white woman welcomes Howard University students
A Giant store ad featuring a white model to target Howard University's predominantly black student body is raising eyebrows.
Nearly 87% of Howard's undergraduate and graduate students are black, according to the university. White students make up less than 3% of the student population.
The ad appeared in Giant's circular specific to the new store near Howard's campus. Tweets criticizing the ad started appearing Saturday.
In a statement e-mailed to USA TODAY Network, Giant said, "Unfortunately, an incorrect stock photo was used in the ad, and we apologize for this oversight. We wish all Howard University students a successful semester."
Victoria Walker, a junior broadcast major at Howard, said she was surprised to see a white student in the ad.
"A simple Google search would show Howard is an HBCU," Walker said, referring to historically black colleges and universities.
Other students attached little significance to the ad.
"I don't think it was that big of a deal," said Anthony Miller, president of the Howard University Student Association and a first-year graduate student in sociology. "I think in the future, we'll find a different student in the ad."
The university is not taking a position on the ad, according to Howard spokeswoman Kerry-Ann Hamilton in an e-mail to USA TODAY Network.

During a talking-head interview on Britain's Channel 4 News, a UFO zipped by the head of MP Tom Watson, prompting confused viewers to contact the television station. Honestly, folks! The naivety here astounds me — any self-respecting citizen knows that there are UFOs in the background of every news broadcast.
They're just normally camouflaged thanks to the cold-fusion-powered Reptiloid Illuminati Shield Generator housed at the Bohemian Grove. That day's story was on Rupert Murdoch, so I wouldn't put it past the mogul to be in cahoots with the ancient astronauts.

It is a beautiful product
Itaca, home to Ulysses, the ancient King of Greeks, and the hero of Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey", is the inspiration behind this eye-popping wood backgammon set from Dal Negro.
With a solid maple wood frame, this elegant case opens up to reveal a colorful tulip wood playing surface, featuring inlaid crimson and marine points, with tasty mother-of-pearl designed checkers that should come with a "Do Not Eat" warning sign.

Based off of a previous article from Mike Willbanks, Stuart Herbert has posted some of his own thoughts on tuning and tweaking your applications for the best performance you can get out of them.
There's some good advice in there, and I thought it'd be a good idea to quickly add a bit more detail about the separate approaches that Mike raises.
He goes over the APC caching, memcache, the "gzip trick", the "Not Modified" header and optimized SQL statements.
He also mentions one thing that Mike didn't mention - a split between static files (no PHP needed) and their dynamic cousins. Having a more pure Apache (no PHP installed) can help give a minute jump in speed that, depending on the size of the site, could really add up from a user's perspective.

By Rob Clarke Driven Sports
I realize that you're probably sick to the back teeth of my discussions of vitamin D, but as science progresses more findings are uncovered. The latest is the involvement of vitamin D in muscle regeneration through two quite novel pathways.
Every year the Endocrine Society holds a meeting and expo where researchers present their work. The latest was held in Boston between June 4th and 7th, so this is very new research. In fact, it has yet to be published.
The research they presented at the meeting looked into the effects of vitamin D and Nandrolone on muscle regeneration. You should all be well aware what vitamin D is, but those of you confused about nandrolone need only know that it is an anabolic steroid. Several professional sports athletes have tested positive for this in the past decades, although due to stricter testing in sports it is becoming much less common. No doubt your local gym has several guys fully aware of the stuff if you tell them it goes by the street name "Deca".
It has long been believed that every cell in the body has a vitamin D receptor. Interestingly though, fairly recent research determined that muscle cells lack the vitamin D receptor, and yet it has also been firmly shown that vitamin D can fortify muscles. While only one study indicates this lack of the vitamin D receptor, this is a discrepancy that was somewhat confusing until scientists working for Dutch company OrgaNext Research presented their findings last month. The discovery is that vitamin D stimulates the expression of the androgen receptor on muscle cells.
The androgen receptor (the protein model is illustrated here) is like a docking station on the cell that androgens like testosterone fit into. Upon doing this, several complex processes are kick-started, but the fundamental product is that protein synthesis is stimulated within the cell nucleus. Protein synthesis IS muscle building.
The scientists also uncovered that both vitamin D and nandrolone could – individually and in combination – increase expression of the vitamin D receptor in muscle cells. When in combination this effect was synergistic. Clearly there is more research required to determine whether muscles do or do not have vitamin D receptors.
But that is not all. The scientists looked into the effects that nandrolone and vitamin D have on satellite cell proliferation. Satellite cells, as you may recall from the stem cell article, are the cells that fuse themselves into existing muscle fibers for repair and growth. The satellite cell pool is far from abundant and takes time to replenish once they have been activated and used. This is why building muscle takes time and consistency.
The researchers found that the combination of nandrolone and vitamin D triggered the proliferation of satellite cells synergistically. When tested alone vitamin D excelled at this in older muscle cells. In other words, if you increase the level of androgens in your body it is a great idea to ensure you are not vitamin D deficient. It was no mistake that vitamin D was included in Activate Xtreme™. While on this tangent, vitamin D not only has aromatase inhibiting properties itself, it also augments the ability of other aromatase inhibitors. It is no mistake why the stack of Activate Xtreme™ and Triazole™ (featuring the revolutionary pZole™) has become to increasingly popular.
So vitamin D not only ensures proper testosterone synthesis and reduces estrogen where we ideally want it reduced, it also boosts the sites of action for testosterone. Amazingly, there are still so many people deficient in this vitamin – even those in hot climates! If these people take an active interest in their health and their bodies they are truly selling themselves short. I would hope that readers of the Driven Blog are convinced enough by now to be actively getting outside more or supplementing with vitamin D (ideally through Activate Xtreme™!)

Successfully small: Jan Karon reaches masses with Mitford
It's a pristine October day, and over 400 people gather under a big white tent in Keene to discuss the future of small town America. No, it isn't concern for Keene or nearby Scottsville that has prompted the gathering. It is Mitford, a town that doesn't even exist.
Just because you can't find Mitford on a map, however, doesn't mean it's not real.
"A lot of people ask me if it's real," says town founder Jan Karon. "I always say yes because Mitford is real- if you keep your eyes open, your ears open, and most importantly, your heart open. Mitford is here today."
Cue audible sigh from audience.
What's going on?
It becomes easier to understand when you realize that Karon, 65, is a best-selling author, and that her popular Mitford series has introduced the world to the wholesome adventures of an affable reverend in a fictional small town. Karon's hero, Father Tim, is the anti-Jack Ryan, and the star of these gentle tales of hope and redemption.
Under the big white tent outside Christ Church in Keene, Karon regales her fans with stories of her own dark past (in what she calls the "deep ditch" of advertising) and the bliss of her present (she's a recent arrival in Scottsville). Never mind that she's a hugely beloved author whose books have sold over 10 million copies, or that her latest, In This Mountain, was #1 on the New York Times fiction list in June.
This is the kind of story that could have taken place in Mitford, where small miracles turn everyday lives around.
"I love the ordinary life because in their ordinariness there is something very extraordinary," Karon says. It's an appealing message to her audience of mostly older women, some of whom have traveled hundreds of miles to hear her speak.
"Who traveled the farthest to get here?" Karon asks early on, warming up the crowd. New York, Wisconsin, and Texas are contenders. "Your daughter," quips one audience member, motioning toward the woman in question, Candace Freeland, visiting from Hawaii.
Karon's effortless banter whips up the communal goodwill and reinforces the sense that we're all somehow really in Mitford.
While Mickie Malick doesn't get the signed copy of Karon's latest book for the farthest-traveling visitor, she says the four-and-a-half-hour drive from Federalsburg, Maryland, is still worth it.
"I thought to myself, 'You're not going to miss this opportunity,'" Malick says. "I feel like I know her through the books."
Virginia French, of Manassas, is a member of a Yahoo discussion group devoted to the Mitford series, but the books' appeal is something less technological. "I love the spirituality of it," she says. "I love the way [Father Tim] turns to the Lord. It just shows you can live a Christian life."
Unfortunately for Malick and French, the Mitford series is nearing its inevitable end. Karon has announced that the sixth and seventh books in the series, due out in the next couple of years, will be the last.
"The truth is, the story stops at a certain place, and I don't know any more," Karon says. She does have some solace for those who fear the end of the series will also be the end of their adored Father Tim.
"I always know the final paragraph of the book, and no, he doesn't die," Karon declares to cheers. Both Karon and her audience, then, are determined to keep the spirit of Mitford alive indefinitely.
