Whirlpool design chief Chuck Jones stands behind a two-way mirror in a dimly lit observation room at the company's headquarters in Benton Harbor, Michigan. On the other side of the glass are a twentysomething volunteer and a shiny, black refrigerator. Jones and a small team of designers, engineers, and usability specialists watch as the woman loads groceries into the fridge. Her movements are mind-numbingly mundane, but the Whirlpool folks are rapt. "This is a very complex interaction between a user | , a product, and her goals," whispers a human-factors expert. The design team isn't just observing; it's grading each task. How long did it take? How many of the fridge's features did she use?
That level of detail is pure Jones. He believes that extensive, even obsessive, research and performance measurements take the fuzziness out of design abstractions. The best way to win credibility from skeptics -- and to improve the design itself -- is to marshal | [

It’s time to do something about guns in America

Traditionally, quarterbacks may be known for having the highest salaries, but when it comes to the overall spread of NFL salaries by team, the two who made it to the Super Bowl are putting more of their money in the defense, a new graphic from the Guardian newspaper shows.
The Guardian found that Baltimore Ravens spend $64 million on their defense and $49 million on their offense. Terrell Suggs earns the most among the linebackers, who take up (as a group) the biggest chunk of change. The Raven's quarterback, Joe Flacco, takes home about $8 million a year (though that is guaranteed to change with his upcoming contract negotiations) while Suggs earns $11 million. Wide receiver Anquan Bolden also comes to close to Flacco, earning $7.5 million.
The San Francisco 49ers are closer in their spending between offense and defense, though they still pay out $3 million to their defensive players. The highest paid on their end is free safety Dashon Goldson, who takes home $6.2 million and linebacker Patrick Willis who takes home $6.5 million. After being sidelined with a concussion and then replaced by the much younger and cheaper Colin Kaepernick, quarterback Alex Smith takes | home $9.5 million to ride the pines. Kaepernick takes home, in comparison a paltry, $1.16 million.

The Last Meeting
February 8, 2012
East Lansing, Mich.
No. 11 MSU Overpowers Penn State, 77-57
Draymond Green had 23 points and 12 rebounds and made some timely shots to help No. 11 Michigan State pull away from Penn State in a 77-57 win Wednesday night.
Michigan State takes its three-game win streak on the road as the Spartans head to Penn State in search of a second-straight road win. This is the only meeting of the regular season between MSU and PSU.
THE STARTING FIVE
1. Dawson's Recovery
Given the fact that Branden Dawson had ACL surgery just last March (two days after suffering the injury), it's remarkable that he has not missed even a single practice this season. Over the last three games, he seems to have elevated his play to another level, averaging 14.3 points and 7.0 rebounds in three Spartan wins. In his most recent game, he scored a career-high 17 points at Iowa. On the season | , he ranks third on the team in scoring (10.5 ppg), third in rebounding (6.1 rpg), and third in minutes played (27.4 mpg). Still, it's tough to make up for missing the entire summer both in terms of conditioning and skill development.

International safety standards permit users to utilize a ‘Proven in Prior Use’ methodology to justify SIS equipment; but can users take on the responsibility?
By William Goble
Several years ago, your plant standardized on one particular manufacturer for all your process measurement transmitters. You now have more than 500 of this manufacturer’s transmitters installed in your basic process control systems and safety instrumented systems (SIS).
Following a recent internally initiated audit of your facility’s SIS, you realized your systems do not meet the “grandfather clause” requirements described in ANSI/ISA 84.01.00. Now you face the task of bringing those systems into conformance with international safety standards.
One of the questions your SIS team raised is, “Do our installed transmitters meet the ‘prior use’ requirements described in Section 11.5.3 of IEC 61511-1 – Requirements for the selection of components and subsystems based on prior use?”
Users often ask this question, and when you read the relevant sections of the IEC standards (61511- | 1) and the accompanying guidelines (61511-2) it is easy to see the source of some confusion—the standard is short on detail or explanation.
The confusion becomes most prevalent when users choose to embrace only selected guidelines and examples that justify their own interpretation of “prior use.”

The American swam well within himself, conserving his energy for his best races which are still to come, to qualify fifth fastest overall in the preliminaries of the 200 meters butterfly.
Austria's Dinko Jukic was the fastest overall, stopping the clock at one minute 54.79 seconds, just ahead of America's Tyler Clary, but all the top swimmers just did enough to safely get through to the next round.
The fastest 16 advanced to Monday night's semi-finals from which the top eight go through to Tuesday's final.
"I'm pretty happy with that swim," Phelps said. "That's all I needed it to be."
Phelps won the event at Athens in 2004 and again in Beijing four years later. If he wins again on Tuesday, he would become the first male swimmer to win gold in the same individual event at three successive Olympics.
He will also equal Soviet gymnast Larisa Latyn | ina's record tally of 18 Olympic medals and could claim the outright record the same night in the 4x200 freestyle relay event.

Q: If Riley swings for the fences and lands an "A-lister" this offseason, will he still keep Spoelstra as coach? I think Riley would love to coach another great team. The star player may not want to play for a rookie coach. The team might be more attractive to the incoming star with Riley as coach, and Arison might say to Riley, "if you're spending all this cash, I want you in charge."

Vermont's Mad River Valley
The Mad River Valley is a unique vacation destination.
Four towns consisting of Warren, Waitsfield, Fayston and Moretown set in the heart and soul of Vermont, it's the one place where
you can do it all...or nothing at all. Vermont's Mad River Valley is home to Sugarbush and Mad River Glen Ski Resorts. You'll fall in love
with its classic New England landscape and architecture -
a mountain ridge line, a winding river, hillside farms, covered
bridges and steepled villages.
The Mad River Valley flows with activities all
year long. The Mad River is the Valley's heart, and it offers
canoeing, kayaking, fly-fishing and swimming. In fact, you
can access a great swimming hole and the Mad River Path for a fun
walk, run or bike ride right across the road from our inn.
Or, take an adventure and check out the many miles of single
track and road for biking. Then, | you can find time to explore.
Gliders soar over the Mad River Valley. Vermont Icelandic Horses travel
our back roads and trails. Hike the Long Trail to Camel's Hump, Burnt Rock, App Gap, the Stark's Nest, the Glen House and Sunset Rock as well as many other
great spots. Challenge yourself on Sugarbush's spectacular 18-hole

Mexican food can certainly be one of the more challenging cuisines when eating out, as there aren't many low-fat items to choose from, and several dishes are full of fried foods.

A Quote by Will H. Nays on belief, business, community, confidence, debt, duty, enemies, good, government, observation, people, promises, rules, and society
We hear a good deal about business confidence, which means confidence of business in itself, in its government, and in its capacity for expansion. But confidence is only another way of saying that people believe each other, keep their promises, pay their debts, and regard their duty to society. | As long as business observes these rules, it will have the confidence of the community and it will be safe from all of the irresponsible attacks of its enemies.

The British east coast fishing city of Hull was the venue recently for the International Sea Shanty Festival. A newspaper report described their history as seafarers’ work songs, helping groups of men undertaking heavy labour synchronise their efforts. The report mentioned types like the short drag shanty for quick tasks needing a powerful heave, and halyard shanties for prolonged and heavy work. Then it went on: “In the Caribbean, shanties were also used for communal moving of huts, giving rise to the expression ‘shanty town’ ”.
Sorry, but no. We have two words shanty in English, with distinct origins, which have been muddled. On the evidence of this piece, somebody has assumed there is just the one word, and has then constructed an edifice of conjecture to show how sailors’ songs | could be linked to shoreside shacks.

Fulham boss Martin Jol remains hopeful Clint Dempsey will stay at the club this season.
Dempsey, 29, has said he is keen to play in the Champions League before the end of his career and is looking to move on this summer, with Liverpool seemingly leading the race for his services.
As yet, though, Fulham have not received a concrete bid and, while the USA international is now into the final year of his contract, Jol wants to keep him at Craven Cottage.
Asked about the speculation, he told the Fulham & Hammersmith Chronicle: "I don't want to talk about that. I love Clint, he scored a lot of goals and I want to keep him."
Jol also revealed that he is hoping to add to a third striker to his attack before the close of the transfer window.
Fulham have already brought in Hugo Rod | allega and Mladen Petric, but they sold Bobby Zamora to QPR in January and Andy Johnson and Pavel Pogrebnyak have both departed since the end of the season.

Two teens jailed for killing SA woman, 87
- From: AAP
- November 13, 2012
THE murder of an elderly Adelaide woman, whose throat was slashed seven times in a bungled home break-in by two teenagers, was horrific and beyond comprehension, a judge has said.
The two attackers, who were 16 and 17 at the time of the killing in January last year, were jailed for at least 20 years in the South Australian Supreme Court on Tuesday.
Both boys had pleaded guilty to murder, after going to 87-year-old Anne Redman's suburban Seacliff home with the intention of breaking | in.
They cut power to the house and one entered through a window.
But the noise disturbed Ms Redman who was attacked when she went outside to investigate, the 16-year-old using a hunting knife to inflict the fatal wounds.

Apple Not Dictating Terms Anymore

Similar effects in the tablet market may come slower, but they will come. Apple can't just make something and expect to sell all it can make anymore.

Behavioural risk factors

Last November, I wrote a post about a new movie theater concept that had just opened in Tampa. I fell for the interior design at first and as beautiful as they are, it's the concept of the theater that keeps me coming back. Cinebistro is a movie theater for adults.

It's a great idea and the interiors of the place really set the tone.

in germany the D800 is about 600 euros cheaper then the 5D MK3.Whether one camera is worth more than another is very subjective and depends largelyt on what you shoot. If you look at the cameras in isolation and only shoot non-action, then the 5D MkIII certainly isn't worth 600 Euros more. However, if you also shoot action, then it is less clear cut. For me, the AF, frame rate and build quality, not to mention the fact I am use to Canon ergonomics, have Canon lenses and few other features are worth it. Would i prefer it is it was cheaper?

The Life of Captain Matthew Flinders, R.N./Chapter 1
BIRTH AND ORIGINS
Matthew Flinders was the third of the triad of great English sailors by whom the principal part of Australia was revealed. A poet of our own time, in a line of singular felicity, has described it as the "last sea-thing dredged by sailor Time from Space;" and the piecemeal, partly mysterious, largely accidental dragging from the depths of the unknown of a land so immense and bountiful makes a romantic chapter in geographical history. All the great seafaring peoples contributed something towards the result. The Dutch especially evinced their enterprise in the pursuit of precise information about the southern Terra Incognita, and the nineteenth century was well within its second quarter before the name New Holland, which for over a hundred years had borne testimony to their adventurous pioneering, gave place in general and geographical literature to the more convenient and euphonious designation suggested by | Flinders himself, Australia.
But, important as was the work of the Dutch, and though the contributions made by French navigators (possibly also by Spanish) are of much consequence, it remains true that the broad outlines of the continent were laid down by Dampier, Cook and Flinders. These are the principal names in the story. A map of Australia which left out the parts discovered by other sailors would be seriously defective in particular features; | [

Not living on Wall St., I have a hard time wrapping my noggin around this. Someone help me out:
The panel unearthed internal documents showing that on Sept. 11, Lehman planned to approve "special payments" worth $18.2 million for two executives who were terminated involuntarily, and another $5 million for one who was leaving on his own.

HOUSTON -- First baseman Lance Berkman continues to work on getting healthy and back into the lineup. He sympathizes with the struggles of former Cardinal Albert Pujols, who entered Sunday's game hitting just.194 in his first season in the American League with the Los Angeles Angels.
However, Berkman said he anticipates Pujols to be among the most feared hitters in the American League before the year is out.
"It's a six-month season," he said. "I know that there are going to be some pitchers in the American League who are not going to want to see him. He'll do like he did last year. He got off to a real rough start here and he ended up hitting 37 home runs and driving in right at 100 and hitting right at.300. So I imagine that he's going to be right there."
Berkman said that changing leagues is a big adjustment as well.
"It continued my rough going from here to there," said Berkman, who went from Houston to the New York Yankees before returning to the NL with St. Louis.
"But really the biggest thing is the bullpens, learning the different relievers," he said. "The starting pitchers | , you get a feel for them after your first at-bat. You get more than one crack at them. A lot of times they bring in a reliever and by the time you figure out some information, the at-bat is over with. And usually, you're out.

“Looking back, lettering and type design was probably a strange career choice,” says Martin Wait. “I’m color-blind and dyslexic.” The career choice may have been strange but, with over two-dozen popular display type designs and many logotypes to his credit, it was certainly the right one.
“I began designing type for Letraset,” Martin recalls. “I sent them a sketch for an typeface design – which they rejected. They liked my handlettering, however, and my first typefaces were based on previous lettering jobs.” Martin was hooked – and has been designing typefaces and creating logotypes ever since.

California’s Next Train Wreck
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced last week that he plans to divert to California some $300 million in high-speed rail funds that Florida rejected. Nice timing. California’s Legislative Analyst’s Office released a study last week warning the state legislature not to appropriate funds for the same project.
The state legislature’s fiscal watchdog says California’s high-speed rail authority, which is responsible for planning and overseeing the project, has grossly underestimated the cost. The authority projects that the 500-mile bullet train between Anaheim and San Francisco will cost $43 billion. The analysts start at $67 billion, which they say will go higher if there are construction overruns in metropolitan areas. When are there not such overruns?
Good luck finding that $67 billion. State taxpayers approved a $9 billion bond measure in November 2008 based on the authority’s assurance that the federal government and private investors would provide $30 billion in capital. The feds have only appropriated about $3.6 billion, and House Republicans aren’t about to subsidize any more. The authority also imagines that local agencies and businesses will chip in $15 billion, but the only people who | want to invest in this California Dream are Democratic politicians.
Congress ought to tell Mr. LaHood to devote the $300 million to reducing the federal deficit. And California’s | [

Parks left in terrible state by revellers enjoying the sun
A STATUE was daubed with paint and several parks left looking like "tips" by people who left rubbish behind after enjoying the sunshine.
The vandalism of the statue of William III in Queen Square was just one of a number of incidents in parks over the weekend that left residents sickened. The city council sent extra rangers to the busiest parks and removed enough litter to fill 20 skips from one park alone.
Doris Ward, 88, of Bedminster, told the Post that Queen Square looked "awful" on Sunday morning.
She said: "There were beer cans everywhere. Even the grass had been spoiled in places and they had daubed the great statue with white paint."

People like Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant are some of the most pernicious commentators around. But equally pernicious, at least, are those who advocate laws that would proscribe and punish political expression, and those who exploit those laws to try use the power of the State to impose penalties on those expressing “offensive” or “insulting” or “wrong” political ideas.
