GoDaddy Web outage takes out small-business sites for a time | The ...

Tech ? Service restored after several hours as cause investigated.

Thousands and possibly millions of websites hosted by GoDaddy.com went down for several hours on Monday, causing trouble for the mainly small businesses that rely on the service.

A Twitter feed that claimed to be affiliated with the "Anonymous" hacker group said it was behind the outage, but this couldn?t be confirmed. Another Twitter account, known to be associated with Anonymous, suggested the first one was just taking advantage of an outage it had nothing to do with.

GoDaddy spokeswoman Elizabeth Driscoll said the outage began shortly after 1 p.m. EDT. By around 5:50 p.m. EDT, the GoDaddy.com website and sites hosted by the company were back up and running. Driscoll had said the company was investigating the cause.

GoDaddy.com hosts more than 5 million websites, mostly for small businesses. Websites that were complaining on Twitter about outages included MixForSale.com, which sells accessories with Japanese animation themes, and YouWatch.org, a video-sharing site.

Catherine Grison, an interior designer in San Francisco who operates the site YourFrenchAccent.com, said she had to stop sending emails with her website link in them while the outage was ongoing. The site is where she displays her portfolio of work.

"If I have no visuals I have nothing left except the accent," said Grison, a native of Paris. She said she was already shopping around for another site host because she was unhappy with GoDaddy?s customer service.

Earlier, Kenneth Borg, who works in a Long Beach, Calif., screen printing business, said fresnodogprints.com and two other sites were down. Their email addresses weren?t working either.

"We run our entire business through websites and emails," Borg said.

The business even takes orders from its two physical stores through the Web, so clerks had to use their personal email addresses to send in orders to the printing shop, causing an administrative headache, Borg said.

Champion Jose Aldo, ex-champ Rampage Jackson most recent victims of UFC injury bug

After fighters in the main and co-main events were forced Tuesday to withdraw from UFC 153 with injuries, only one thing remained certain: UFC president Dana White will, under no circumstances, postpone the card scheduled for Oct. 13 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Other than that, though, little is known about what will happen to the pay-per-view card after featherweight champion Jose Aldo (ankle) and ex-light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (elbow) were forced to pull out.

Aldo was originally scheduled to headline against Erik Koch at UFC 148 in Calgary on July 21, but had to pull out of that fight with an injury. Then, last week, Koch was injured and had to pull out of UFC 153. The UFC replaced him with former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar.

The Aldo-Edgar fight added a lot of sizzle to the top of the card, which also included a highly anticipated light heavyweight match between Jackson and the highly regarded Glover Teixeira.

First, White tweeted Tuesday that Jackson had to pull out because of an injury, reportedly to an elbow. Then, minutes later, he tweeted the news that injuries Aldo suffered when the motorcycle he was driving was hit by a car would force him to withdraw from the card.

A report surfaced later Tuesday on a Brazilian website quoting Aldo as saying he wasn't injured and would still fight.

I do not know anything about that.?I'm fine, I just train. No [the accident didn't hamper my training], I'm training normal. For me there was nothing spoken. Even on one leg I would fight.

A UFC spokeswoman returned a call for White. She said that Aldo had been told to keep quiet about his injury until the UFC could make a determination about what to do and that Aldo was unaware White released the news. She said he was just following orders when he denied being off the card.

[Related: Glover Teixeira without an opponent after 'Rampage' hurts elbow]

After having last month been forced to cancel UFC 151, which was scheduled for Sept. 1 in Las Vegas, because of an injury to Dan Henderson, White was determined to never cancel another show. That was the first cancelation in UFC history. Reports are that the cancelation cost the UFC more than $20 million.

White said Tuesday during a brief stop at the Yahoo! Sports offices in Santa Monica, Calif., that he had just learned of the news and didn't have anything to announce.

The only thing to be sure of is that he will under no circumstances cancel this card.

5 signs that PR pros are impacting business results ? Get In Front ...

Public relations is coming into its own and the industry appears more than ready to embrace a new level of respect.

How do I know this?

Consider the following?points:???

1. PR is more strategic than ever. There?s an increased understanding that a broader view of business is required in today?s marketplace. PR pros who fully grasp how their work directly impacts sales and marketing are sitting at the table with the C-suite. Messaging and money go hand-in-hand.?

2. PR pros are?communicating?like project managers. We?are tracking the?minutiae in?our assignments.?We are in constant communication with team members. Our work is completed on time and under budget.?That?s because we can course correct in the midst of a project instead of running out of time and resources.?We?re?using online spreadsheets, graphics, and images to track progress, next steps, and metrics.?Communicators are getting better at this thing called communication.

3. PR pros?the good ones, anyway?are buying into the?vision. These are the passionate ones;?the folks?who are curious and?courageous. Those who lack passion, including managers,?are crap magnets that are blind to the?company vision. Passionate PR pros understand the work that needs to get done every day to achieve more and compete in a fierce market. They surround themselves with like-minded people, leaving no room for the mediocre.???

4. PR pros are well-versed?in more than just one language.??The smart ones are able to speak to their clients in their own industry language. Whether it?s Software-as-a-Service, designer jewelry, healthcare, or aerospace engineering, PR stars shine brightest when they can hold their own and?engage?with niche clients.??These PR leaders?exude the confidence and knowledge to not only be invited to?sit at the?proverbial table, but to actually offer ideas and insights as a valued member of the team.?Courtesy seats with the C-suite rarely exist.??

5. PR pros recognize what is required?to service business-to-business clients.?Delving into the needs of the customer?s customer helps solidify B2B relationships.?Creativity and projects move to deeper levels and vertical markets, which has customers coming back, and offering referrals.?It?s simple.? You get it.????

Business and motivational speaker Denis Waitley said:??Your success depends on how well you think. You are not paid to collect, sort, store or retrieve information, although you do these things every day. You are paid to interpret that information and create and implement new ideas.?

As we head into the last quarter of 2012, it?s clear that PR means business.?Would you agree?

How breast cancer spreads

ScienceDaily (Sep. 10, 2012) ? The invasion of cancer cells into the lymph vessels that connect the breast to surrounding lymph nodes is the first step leading to the metastasis, or spread, of cancer throughout the body. Metastasis is the primary cause of breast cancer deaths. Surprisingly little is known about the control of this process and how it might be interrupted to prolong the lives of women with breast cancer.

In a study to be reported Sept. 10 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Online Early Edition, researchers at Johns Hopkins describe their discovery of how a protein responsible for cell survival in low oxygen can trigger the spread of cancer cells into the lymphatic system in a mouse model of breast cancer.

The researchers knew that like all solid tumor cancers, breast cancer cells can grow so densely that they end up starved for oxygen. To survive, cancer cells trigger the growth of new blood vessels by activating a protein called hypoxia-inducible factor 1, or HIF-1. "We've known that increased levels of HIF-1 are associated with increased tumor vessels and with patient mortality," says Gregg Semenza, M.D., Ph.D., the C. Michael Armstrong Professor of Medicine, director of the vascular program at Hopkins' Institute for Cell Engineering and a member of the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine. "Now we've found that HIF-1 activity is directly responsible for the spread of breast cancer to the lymph vessels."

Working in mice injected with human breast cancer cells, which when left undisturbed grow into tumors that spread from the breast to the lungs, Semenza's team previously found that interfering with HIF-1 in these mice reduced growth of the primary tumor and prevented metastasis through blood vessels to the lung. "So of course we wanted to see whether blocking HIF-1 could affect lymph node metastasis as well," he says.

In new experiments, they injected mice with human breast cancer cells that were genetically engineered to knock down HIF-1 protein levels and, after 24 days, examined the mouse lymph nodes to see if the human breast cancer cells had spread. They found that compared to mice whose HIF-1 levels were left undisturbed, lymph nodes with knocked-down HIF-1 contained 76 percent fewer human breast cancer cells, supporting the idea that HIF-1 is somehow involved in the spread of breast cancer to lymph nodes.

To better understand how HIF-1 triggers this to happen, Semenza's team then starved human breast cancer cells of oxygen to see which of the genes involved in the growth of lymphatic vessels might respond to HIF-1. They found that the platelet-derived growth factor B gene -- PDGF-B -- was five times more active when oxygen was lacking. A closer look at the DNA sequence around the PDGF-B gene showed regions of DNA known to be recognized and bound by the HIF-1 protein. They tested this in cells and found that, indeed, HIF-1 protein binds to the PDGF-B gene and turns it on.

The team then took a closer look at PDGF-B to find out how it works once the gene is turned on. They found that PDGF-B that is made by breast cancer cells is pumped out of the cell and stimulates the growth of lymph vessels.

Treating the mice with either digoxin, which blocks HIF-1 activity, or imatinib, a cancer drug, reduced tumor size by 78 percent and reduced lymph node metastasis by 94 percent, although the researchers emphasized that more work must be done to determine whether these drugs will be effective in treating breast cancer patients.

"We're very excited by these results, having shown for the first time that HIFs are directly involved in the lymphatic metastasis of breast cancer," says Semenza. "These results provide experimental support for breast cancer clinical trials that target HIF-1 or PDGF-B." The first study of digoxin in women with breast cancer at the Johns Hopkins Oncology Center will begin later this year.

This study was funded by grants from the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute (U54-143868) and by funds from the Johns Hopkins Institute for Cell Engineering.

Pedestrians Severely Injured in Phoenix Car Crashes | Personal ...

As experienced pedestrian accident lawyers in Phoenix, it is unbelievable how many car accidents happen each day. Many car accidents happen when drivers of motor vehicles are distracted and do not see the pedestrian. Pedestrians who are hit by motor vehicles are likely to suffer very serious or life-threatening injuries. Typically, these victims are left in critical condition. This is always a difficult time for the injured person as well as the family members.

Phoenix Car Crash and Pedestrian Collision Statistics

Pedestrians are often severely injured in car accidents, and those pedestrians involved in Phoenix car crashes are no exception. More than 29,060 collisions happen in Phoenix each year, according to reports out of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). These collisions result in light to severe and even life-threatening injuries for more than 15,050 people, pedestrians included. Pedestrians involved in Arizona pedestrian collisions statewide number nearly 1,500 every year, and the number of those injured typically totals about 1,230. Nearly 1,300 of the total pedestrian collisions in the state happen in urban centers like Phoenix where cars drive faster and more accidents occur overall in a single year.

Why Involve a Phoenix Car Crash Attorney

Pedestrians who are hit many times are not in the crosswalk, and what people may not know is that if a pedestrian is hit and is not in the crosswalk, this does not mean that they have no claim. Under Arizona law, if the driver is at all at-fault, then the driver still owes that percentage of fault to the victim or their family.

The Husband and Wife Law Team would do whatever needed to be done to help a pedestrian struck by a car to achieve justice and fair results. Settlements achieve justice and also help pay for medical treatments, personal suffering, and the lengthy amount of time a victim is likely to have to take off from work for recovery. If it is a fatal injury, the Husband and Wife Law Team work with the family to achieve justice. We would do everything in our power to make certain that whatever settlement received is a fair one. We offer free consultations to all injury victims. Call the attorneys at the Breyer Law Offices, P.C. now.

Contador takes Tour of Spain title after serving doping ban

Madrid, Sep 10

Spaniard Alberto Contador has come back from a two-year doping ban to lift his second Tour of Spain cycling title.

Saxo-Bank rider Contador finished the 21st and final leg from Cercedilla to Madrid Sunday with ease to secure the victory, reports Xinhua

He clocked 84 hours and 59 minutes 49 seconds for the race that covered a total distance of 3,300 kilometers.

His compatriots Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) and Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha) finished second and third respetively.

Germany's John Degenkolb of the Argos-Shimano team won the final stage in 2:44:57, Contador coming through buried in the main lead peloton in 54th spot.

The 29-year-old Contador returned to the cycling tour last month after he was banned for testing positive for clenbuterol in 2010.

He was stripped of the titles in the 2010 Tour de France and 2011 Giro d'Italia victories.

Directions 2012 Event Approaching for Students in Special Education

Directions 2012 In an effort to help parents transition their students out of high school and into post-secondary opportunities, District 211 has teamed up with other local educational institutions to participate in the annual event Directions 2012.

The event is open to all students in special education and family members on Oct. 2 from 6 ? 8:30 p.m., and features various informational sessions and a college and career fair. The event will be held at the Forest View Educational Center, 2121 S. Goebbert Road in Arlington Heights. The event is sponsored by the Northwest Educational Council for Student Success, in conjunction with District 211, Township High School District 214, Barrington Community Unit School District 220, William Rainey Harper College, and St. Viator High School.

?We have more than just colleges coming to meet with our parents and students,? said Diane Pfister, transition specialist at District 211. ?We will have vocational training programs, and everything that might be a post-secondary option, including colleges that offer a post-secondary educational experience for students with intellectual disabilities.?

The session will start with a welcome from Scott Friedman, director of Access and Disability Services at William Rainey Harper College. From there, there will be four different breakout sessions to attend, with the option of a college and career fair that will be going on the entire night.

Representatives from several different organizations will be there to discuss their programs, answer questions, and hand out materials. The breakout sessions include: College Training Programs; Four-year Colleges and Universities; Life Skills Training Programs; and Community College Options.

?Sometimes planning for post-secondary opportunities for students in special education takes time because there could be several factors to consider, so we encourage students from all grade levels to attend with their parents,? Pfister said. ?We want our students and parents to explore various options and see what?s out there after graduation, and hopefully this night can be an important part of the post-high school transition process.?

For more information on Directions 2012, please visit the website or contact Diane Pfister at

Are Dental care X-Rays Really Necessary? - Health & Fitness Article ...

The well known media has recently directed a lot more attention to the problem of dental x-rays. A recent study has come to gentle which shows some link between dental x-rays as well as brain growths. Although there are some challenges that this particular study faces in the gathering of the company?s data, I believe that media attention which assists the consumer become interested and much more informed concerning the services that they receive is always a good thing. With this idea planned, I would like to deal with some of the concerns I have received from sufferers in my dentist.

Dental x-rays usually are not always had to perform a dental exam. In fact, dental x-rays must only be used when they are necessary for establishing a benchmark for the new affected individual and/or when there is absolutely essential and need for diagnosis as well as treatment of dental or oral disease. A lot of factors are usually evaluated to determine the need for the sort and variety of radiographs. Some of these components include: get older, oral health, risks, current signs or symptoms. Never must a one-size-fits-all strategy be used intended for the need for dental radiographs.

There are a few types of dental exams carried out in a dental office. These a few exams are usually: a comprehensive, preliminary, or brand new client examination, a limited as well as problem-focused exam, plus a periodic as well as established affected individual exam. The comprehensive oral evaluation is completed when a brand new patient wishes to become an existing member and there is a need to begin a benchmark or an oral health reference for the future. Given that a more required set of details are being gathered to create a time frame point, it is often at these appointments more and more dental x-rays are usually taken.

Each time a limited as well as problem-focused exam comes about, there are fewer dental x-rays essential except for the specific areas involved. During these evaluations, the x-rays are simply one of many different tests as well as pieces of details that are examined to determine the setting of therapy.

A schedule or routine dental examination typically comes about during a cleaning or dental prophylaxis appointment. Numerous issues are evaluated within this exam. I prefer to divide our periodic oral evaluations into three sections. I think of the oral examination as being a group of friends and the evaluation being separated into three distinct categories. This particular exam incorporates a visual analysis of soft tissues (lips, mouth, cheeks, nicotine gum tissue as well as gingiva, and gum charting), hard tissue (tooth, jaw, stoppage or bite, and then an evaluation of any radiographs which were taken. Every portion of the evaluation offers beneficial data that assists to aid us, the specialist, perform a a lot more thorough as well as comprehensive analysis of the individual?s oral health. Every portion of the examination has its own value; however, while all three parts are present, the most comprehensive analysis of the affected individual can be performed.

While clinicians, the objective is always to provide solutions and information which assists each individual become an active participant in maintaining their oral health. Dentistry radiographs or x-rays are simply one instrument used to help detect illness, infection, first cavity as well as gum disease. When radiographs are used, proper protecting aprons along with thyroid dog collars should always be accustomed to help reduce exposure to vulnerable and susceptible tissues. While patients be involved in their dental care, that they ask questions to assist them understand why certain recommendations are produced. When sufferers become more educated, their high quality of care improves along with the partnership involving patient as well as dentist develops stronger.

German minister: Don't let up on reforms

(AP) ? Germany's finance minister is insisting that countries must not use the European Central Bank's plan to buy unlimited amounts of government bonds as an excuse to let up on economic reforms and deficit-cutting.

The ECB announced its most ambitious plan yet to ease Europe's financial crisis on Thursday. The bond purchases would help lower borrowing costs for countries struggling to manage debts.

The head of Germany's central bank has objected, arguing that the ECB is moving too far toward financing government deficits ? which is prohibited by the European Union treaty. Senior government officials have signaled their acceptance, however, while making clear that the decision doesn't change the path struggling countries need to take.

"We will only overcome the euro's crisis of confidence if we do not let up on reforms," Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble was quoted Saturday as telling the Bild am Sonntag newspaper.

"It would be a serious mistake if the ECB decision were misinterpreted in the sense that we could now let up on our efforts," he added. "The opposite is the case."

The ECB's pledge of support came with strings attached: countries that want the central bank to help with their borrowing costs must first ask the 17-nation eurozone's existing bailout funds to buy their bonds. The ECB also wants the International Monetary Fund to be involved.

Even so, the prospect of unlimited bond-buying, whatever the conditions, has drawn criticism from commentators and some lawmakers in Germany.

"The ECB has in the past always kept to its mandate and I assume it will do so in the future, too," Schaeuble countered, according to Bild am Sonntag. "One thing is clear: monetary policy must not serve to finance states. That line must not be crossed."

As for the purchases' unlimited nature, "it seems obvious to me that the ECB cannot name any upper limits without positively challenging speculators," he added.

Asked about the possibility that having to fulfill new conditions might make countries reluctant to seek help, ECB executive board member Benoit Coeure underlined in an interview with France Inter radio the bank's desire that "the conditions be in place for our policies to be efficient."

"That doesn't necessarily mean more austerity," Coeure said. "These countries have, as we know, already taken a lot of measures that go in the right direction, so there will not necessarily be additional demands."

World record set for highest surface area material

ScienceDaily (Sep. 7, 2012) ? Northwestern University researchers have broken a world record by creating two new synthetic materials with the greatest amount of surface areas reported to date.

Named NU-109 and NU-110, the materials belong to a class of crystalline nanostructure known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that are promising vessels for natural gas storage for vehicles, catalysts, and other sustainable materials chemistry.

The materials' promise lies in their vast internal surface area. If the internal surface area of one NU-110 crystal the size of a grain of salt could be unfolded, the surface area would cover a desktop. Put another way, the internal surface area of one gram of NU-110 would cover one-and-a-half football fields.

A paper describing the findings, "Metal-organic Framework Materials with Ultrahigh Surface Areas: Is the Sky the Limit?" was published August 20 in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

The research team, led by Omar Farha, research associate professor of chemistry in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, has synthesized, characterized, and computationally simulated the behavior of the two MOFs that display the highest experimental Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface areas of any porous material on record, 7,000 m2/g; that is, one kilogram of the material contains an internal surface area that could cover seven square kilometers. (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, or BET, is an analysis technique for measuring the surface area of a material.)

The extremely high surface area, which is normally not accessible due to solvent molecules that stay trapped within the pores, was achieved using a carbon dioxide activation technique. As opposed to heating, which can remove the solvent but also damage the MOF material, the carbon dioxide-based technique removes the solvent gently and leaves the pores completely intact.

The development could rapidly lead to further advances. MOFs are composed of organic linkers held together by metal atoms, resulting in a molecular cage-like structure. The researchers believe they may be able to more than double the surface area of the materials by using less bulky linker units in the materials' design.

The research comes from the labs of Joseph T. Hupp, professor of chemistry in Weinberg, and Randall Q. Snurr, professor of chemical and biological engineering at the McCormick School of Engineering.

Other authors include SonBinh Nguyen, professor of chemistry in Weinberg; Ibrahim Eryazici, Nak Cheon Jeong, Brad G. Hauser, Amy A. Sarjeant, and Christopher E. Wilmer, all of Northwestern; and A. ?zg?r Yazayd?n of the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom.

The MOF-designing and -synthesizing technology is being commercialized by NuMat Technologies, a Northwestern startup that has won more than $1 million in business plan competitions since incorporating in February.

Stemming Cervical Cancer - European Agency Calls For More HPV Vaccinations

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there are 500,000 new cases of cervical cancer and 250,000 deaths from the disease worldwide each year.

Sprenger said European countries might have to examine why their HPV vaccination rates are not higher, and change their campaigns accordingly. Parental permission is required to administer the vaccine to young girls.

Convincing Parents

The Robert Koch Institute, a German federal health agency, has recommended since 2007 that girls between the ages of 12 and 17 receive the vaccine. Although the public health insurance program covers the costs of the vaccine, only between 30 and 45 percent of girls receive it, the agency estimates.

That percentage is too low, said Yvonne Deler?, with the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at the Robert Koch Institute. "If one wants to reduce the number of cases of cervical cancer and its early stages among the population, a vaccination rate of probably 80 percent would be needed," she said.

Two European countries are currently meeting that goal, according to the ECDC survey: Britain and Portugal. Many of the other countries have a vaccination rate hovering around 17 percent.

In Europe, the factors deterring people from choosing the vaccine are often its price tag and the fact that three separate shots have to be given over a period of six months, says the ECDC.

HPV is a group of viruses, at least 14 types of which are classified as "high risk" and can cause cervical cancer in women. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is a "common virus that is easily spread by skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity with another person."

Two types of HPV, types 16 and 18, cause about 70 percent of cervical cancers. The two vaccines licensed for use in Europe -- Cervarix offered by Britain's GlaxoSmithKline and Gardasil offered by Merck & Co. from the U.S. -- protect against both types. They do not, however, cure existing infections, so they should be given to girls before they become sexually active. Merck's vaccine also guards against other strains of the virus that cause genital warts.

Political Issue

In the U.S., the HPV vaccine has been a controversial political issue, with some public officials questioning its safety, and social conservatives questioning whether or not it would promote sexual promiscuity.

Last year, it became a hot-button issue during the Republican presidential primary campaign in the U.S.. Rick Perry, Republican governor of the state of Texas, came under fire from his opponents for having once issued a mandate requiring 6th grade girls in Texas to get the vaccine.

One of his opponents, Michele Bachmann, later had to backtrack after saying on television that the vaccine can have dangerous side effects and relaying a story about a woman who blamed it for her daughter's mental retardation.

The American Academy of Pediatrics blasted her comments as having no scientific basis, and has recommended the vaccines for both girls and boys between 11 and 12 years old.

The ECDC stopped short this week of recommending the vaccine for boys -- HPV can cause penile and anal cancers, among others -- because, it said, "including boys in the current HPV vaccination programs is unlikely to be cost-effective."

HTC J: un nuevo y potente Android a prueba de agua

7 de septiembre, 2012, 18:11

HTC tiene pautado un evento para el pr?ximo 19 de septiembre, donde mostrar?n sus nuevos smartphones sucesores de esa espectacular familia ?One? que vimos nacer en la pasada MWC 2012. Aunque ya existen algunas filtraciones de lo que presentar?n ese d?a, como el llamado HTC 8x con sistema operativo Windows Phone 8, esta vez en su pa?s natal han presentado de manera oficial al nuevo HTC J, como adelanto a lo que nos espera en su conferencia.

Esta vez HTC vuelve a apostar por el sistema operativo Android en versi?n 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (aunque promete pronto actualizarlo a Jelly Bean) y con especificaciones de gama alta, incorporando uno de esos espectaculares procesadores Snapdragon S4 y todos los beneficios que ello implica, para ser disfrutados en una generosa pantalla de 4.3 pulgadas de alta definici?n.

Pero quiz?s lo m?s peculiar de este terminal es que est? sellado por completo para prometer ser a prueba de agua, una cualidad que muchos usuarios (especialmente los de manos torpes o descuidadas) agradecemos.

Caracter?sticas del HTC J

  • Pantalla de 4.3 pulgadas con resoluci?n de 1280x720 p?xeles.
  • Procesador Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 (modelo MSM8660A) con frecuencia a 1.5 GHz.
  • Memoria RAM de 1 GB.
  • Capacidad de almacenamiento interna de 16 GB, expandible v?a MicroSD.
  • C?mara principal de 8 MP con Flash LED.
  • Bater?a de 1.810 mAh.
  • Sistema operativo Android Ice Cream Sandwich.
  • Interfaz de usuario HTC Sense 4.1.

Lamentablemente, hasta ahora tiene fecha de lanzamiento confirmada solo para China, a finales de este mes, pero se especula que en el evento del 19 de este mes anuncie su disponibilidad para Europa y Am?rica, o quiz?s una versi?n ligeramente distinta para este lado del mundo. Su precio es de 455 euros o 580 d?lares al cambio y en su versi?n liberada.

Te mencionamos que es a prueba de agua, y HTC lo demuestra en el siguiente v?deo.

replacement windows Austin - Getting To Know Tinted Windows











Tinted house windows do not just add curb appeal to your home but also provide good levels of privacy as well as energy efficiency. Well tinted windows can help reduce glare and eventually spare your interiors from the extreme heat of the sunrays. On top of that, some tints come with good insulating properties to keep your home warm during winters. Though it can have some throwbacks, tinted windows still have more benefits and enough reasons why homeowners should opt to.

Should you decide to have your windows tinted, you have at least three main options to go for. You can opt for tints that are in the form of films which can be glued to your current house windows. Another option is the tint coating which is usually applied to windows. The next option is replacement of your current window glass with new tinted ones. When you consider these options of course you also have to consider their features.

Tinted windows are usually available in different shades from gray to different hues of bronze. Window tints are mainly composed of polycarbonate plastics. Some tints also come with low-e glass coatings to ensure that the home can be warm enough during the winter. Low-e glass coatings prevent heat or warm air from leaking hence improving the room's temperature significantly.

Aside from keeping homes warm during winter, tinted glass windows are also helpful when it comes to cooling during the summer. And because of these, they can help lower down energy bills in the long run. Furthermore, since window tints can help reduce sun's glare from entering the room, they can also avoid carpets, furniture, and other upholstery from fading because of the sun's harmful rays. Window tints are also good providers of privacy especially in bedrooms and living rooms. They give owners the freedom of view of the outdoors without the neighbors and onlookers awareness.

In order to have the best windows tints for your home, always hire a good window installer professional to get the job done perfectly. Installation of window tints requires skills and utmost care. This is because bubbles and tears can easily form if applied inappropriately. Installation process requires stable hands from an experienced installer to ensure that it will only take a short period of time to get the job done.

Part of having tinted windows is the responsibility of keeping them clean all the time. If you are prepared to put extra time and effort of cleaning them, then this is a great option for your improving the efficiency of your windows.

Police: Pa. man nabbed in toilet theft scheme

(AP) ? Police say a western Pennsylvania man's toilet theft scam didn't end with a clean getaway.

Thirty-two-year-old Bobby Clifford Smith III faces theft and related charges for allegedly exchanging a toilet he didn't buy for gift cards at a Somerset County home improvement store.

State police say Smith, of Windber, entered the store on Aug. 28, grabbed a toilet from a shelf and immediately went to the return line to exchange it for more than $600 in gift cards.

Investigators say surveillance footage from the store captured the entire episode.

The Johnstown Tribune-Democrat (http://bit.ly/TlB18o ) reports Smith was arraigned Tuesday and held on $30,000 bail. Court records don't list an attorney for him.

Self-improvement seminar for great leaders - Panem Connect: Ask!

What are you? A leader or a follower?

We can all turn out to be leaders and also followers. Both are important but the leader sets the excellent example for his/her followers. An excellent leader has a very good follower.

If you think you are not a very good leader, maybe you really should have a self-improvement seminar.

Self-improvement seminar for leaders is training them to be excellent to the followers.

There are a selection of self-improvement seminar for you. But leadership training seminar is the best for you.

In order to be a fantastic leader, 1 have to possess numerous qualities that will attract followers. The following qualities are just of handful of of the a lot of qualities that are crucial for powerful leadership:

1. Charisma- charismatic leaders have the gift to touch people via their decision of words. Charismatic leaders are alluring, charming and can encourage followers to help a grand vision or notion.

2. Positive Attitude ? A leader who has a good attitude will influence his/her followers to carry that very same attitude. A great instance of a leader with a positive attitude could be a parent or teacher.

Mothers, fathers, or elementary teachers seem and are viewed as function models to the young kids they are teaching and nurturing.

These function models are the 1st leaders they encounter in life. Kids grow to be extremely dependent of leaders because they are their automobiles to the outdoors world and provide a lot required aid and assistance.

If a parent is nurturing and loving to their youngster, they will thrive under this encouragement.

If a school teacher provides a good studying encounter to the youngster, they will succeed and that good results will turn out to be contagious? In any circumstance, a leaders good attitude will have higher impact and influence on their followers.

three. Motivation ? In an athletic world, a motivating leader could be a coach, trainer or even a fellow teammate. While the talent of players is an excellent determinant of a winning team, their coach is also an critical element.

If a coach can not produce a winning group, his job is at stake. A coachs motivation involves infusing his players with high standards, and setting difficult but attainable goals as they carry out nicely. As a result, his/her capacity to motivate his players will enhance their performances.

Motivation also correlates with possessing a positive attitude. When a coach has a good attitude and gives a positive environment for his players, then the group will most likely be motivated to move in his/her direction exactly where ultimate success can be discovered.

4. Assertiveness ? A leader has the responsibility to guide the direction of his or her firm. When a leader is firm and assertive in delegating tasks to his subordinates, they will hold a higher respect to comply with by way of on their assignments.

On Loan From Heaven: On Baby Showers

Just one more thing that seems ... unfair (?), different (?), annoying (?) about adoption;


?

Baby Showers.


?

Every woman dreams of her baby shower, much like they dream of their lingerie shower or bridal shower. It's a right of passage, so to speak. It's symbolic of a new start and just adds to the excitement of a new baby.


?

I've always tried to be sensitive to adoptive moms in this area and well, if you don't ask you won't know! As I've done so many times before, (;-)) I thought I'd shed some light on showers for adoptive moms so if you know one, you know how to support them;
?

. Some of us are comfortable planning and purchasing the absolute necessities in?our wait to bring baby home... we buy diapers in every size, both boy and girl outfits, bottles, wipes, burp cloths, blankets, and so on. Some choose to prepare a nursery but some are also uncomfortable with what an empty nursery symbolizes (I SO remember that feeling!)
?

I was a planner in our wait for Hannah.... partly because our agency had certain requirements in order to be officially waiting with them (new car seat, some kind of crib/bassinet, one boy and one girl outfit, etc.) and partly because .... well, what the heck are you supposed to do?!?!
?

Most friends of waiting moms don't know how to broach the subject of baby showers so I wanted to touch on a few things I've learned, from experience;


?

* 'Sip N' See's' are a great thought... but if you've read this post, you'll understand why this kind of shower after baby comes home might make an adoptive mom uncomfortable. Some moms might love a chance to show off her baby but traditionally, a baby shower is about the Mama... a 'Sip N' See' might bring with it expectations that a new mom just can't meet. Ask your new mama-friend what kind of shower she has dreamed of.


?

* There is NOTHING wrong with hosting a shower for Mom after baby comes home and NOT expecting baby to be present. With no expectations, Mom can choose to leave baby home with Daddy or have baby make a surprise appearance for everyone to see. This way she is also allowed to enjoy her shower and the attention that is being shown to her ;-)


?

* If you're unaware of any plans for a shower but would like to show your support and excitement to this new family, ask what they need the most. If the couple has prepared somewhat, they still might be in need of some of the more expensive baby items (second car seat, crib, double stroller, changing table, etc) and could use gift cards to a specific store to?help them in purchasing those things. We also all know what it feels like to see that completely adorable, can't live without Coach diaper bag and have NO justification for purchasing it... you might just be the perfect person to help her with a gift card so she can purchase that one special splurge item!
?

* If you can't make it to the shower,?stop by with a meal. Don't offer to have them over but ask what night would be most helpful and bring them dinner.... and always make sure it's freezable as we all know that nights don't always go as planned. Sometimes it's easier to ask what their favorite take-out is and get them a gift card or call in their order.... delicious food, a huge helping hand, and someone else delivers; win-win for you! PLUS, this more intimate setting makes that new Mama more inclined to let you snuggle that sweet baby!
?

* If you do know a waiting adoptive mom and would like to celebrate her and her baby with a shower, ask her what she prefers; a shower before baby comes where gifts and theme are gender neutral or involve just baby necessities? Or a shower after baby is born at a time when life has calmed and she has a better grasp of what their specific needs are? Let her be part of the planning so when that fun day comes she is able to bask in the excitement and not stress over things that might make her uncomfortable.
?

* Last but not least, no one?can stop you from accessing some of the most popular baby stores online and searching their registry. Adoptive parents often-times register in order to get the same perks that other new parents get (10% off anything on the registry after one year, high-value coupons, freebies, etc). Searching their names on some of those websites might give you a good idea of what they like, what they might still need, and how you can help them prepare or settle in with their new family member. You don't need permission to check out those registries once in a while ;-)

Adoptive Moms dream, too. With all of the unfair differentiations between pregnancy and adopting, it's quite possible that an adoptive mom might slip between the cracks. Be the friend of her's who steps out and offers to lavish her with the love and support from friends that she so desperately needs... I promise she will NEVER forget your heart and sensitivity for her!

Starlets, Klum get refined at NY Fashion Week

NEW YORK (AP) ? The starlets lining the front row of New York Fashion Week on Friday would be right at home in the simultaneously refined and youthful styles parading before them.

The look on the second day of more than 100 previews for retailers, editors and stylists balanced a ladylike elegance with a youthful flair. Light colors and lace details were offset by cutouts or even leather harnesses.

Allison Williams of HBO's "Girls" and Hailee Steinfeld of "True Grit" watched the muted florals on denim and midriff-baring cutouts at Peter Som. Emily Mortimer was on hand for Jason Wu, who said his collection aimed to balance beautiful refinement with something provocative and sexy.

"I love the idea of those two coming together ? a softness and a hardness coming together and I wanted to make a collection that sort of balanced, just teetered on that line of sexy but still sophisticated," he said.

Meanwhile, the drama of "Project Runway" took center stage for the 10th anniversary season of a show that designer and judge Michael Kors said thrives because "fashion people by nature are a little high-strung, a little dramatic."

"Quite frankly, fashion people are interesting," he said. "Nothing against accountants but we are not a group of accountants, that's for sure."

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week previews for retailers, editors and stylists continue for eight days, before the fashion crowd heads for London, Milan and Paris.

PETER SOM

For Som's refined and youthful look, muted floral prints were shown on denim (part of Som's partnership with Earnest Sewn) and midriff-baring cutouts were carved into ladylike sheath dresses that fell below the knee. A pink orchid-print bustier dress was dotted with a bit of more demure lace.

Standard button-down shirts and a lace T-shirt were jazzed up with jeweled collars.

Olympic gold-medal runner Sanya Richards Ross was there, fully decked out in one of Som's lace numbers. "I love fashion. It's in my genes. If you saw my grandmother going to the grocery store, you'd think she was having lunch with the Obamas. We're always dressed up," she said.

Som is known to play with texture, and he created a colorful patchwork of snakeskin chevrons. The best version was the shift that was mostly a mix of pinks and purples on top, and chartreuse below the dropped waist.

JASON WU

There wasn't a lot of room for error on the Jason Wu runway. But he didn't need it.

From Carolyn Murphy's opening crocodile-like leather sheath to the navy silk tulle harness gown with embroidery that closed the show, the look was slim and sophisticated. Lace insets, bra tops, sheer fabrics and sharp tuxedos turned into shorts kept lively what were really refined, classic silhouettes.

Wu, in a backstage interview, said he was inspired by two photographers with differing styles ? Helmut Newton and Lillian Basman. It was the second show in the early going to make specific reference to Newton, which could explain the dominance of black and white. It was also the second to put leather harnesses on the models to give them a little bit of edge. They topped a white-lace embroidered shirt worn with black croc shorts, and over a pink lace sheath that also got a little bounce from a peplum.

One would imagine that first lady Michelle Obama, who helped propel Wu to hot-ticket status after she wore his gown to the 2008 inauguration, would wear her black-and-white "ghost print" satin sheath with organza insets sans leather hardware.

PROJECT RUNWAY

There was intrigue ? and Heidi Klum in barely there gold ? at the "Project Runway" show that will decide who wins the 10th anniversary season.

Eight contestants thanked their loved ones and shared their inspirations in the hour-long parade before the judges on the Lifetime series and a huge crowd at the Lincoln Center tents.

But only three or four of the eight remain in the running to win the milestone season (the others were shills to keep us guessing). The finale, based on judging of the Fashion Week looks, will air Oct. 18 with guest judge Jennifer Hudson.

"Wow, 10 seasons, who would have thought that would happen," Klum told the crowd, dressed in a sparkly, backless gown. With a front-row kiss for her producer, Harvey Weinstein, she assured fans of an 11th season.

There was a touch of mesh in jackets and tops from Gunnar Deatherage, a self-taught, 22-year-old designer from Kentucky who learned to sew at age 7 from his grandmother.

Elena Silvnyak, 28 and originally from the Ukraine, sent models out with bright yellow and green lips, two-tone fitted dresses and tunics.

An always serious Venn Budhu managed a rare smile at the end of his show, which featured impeccable bodices and necks in constructed layers of fabric on formal gowns and cocktail dresses in reds and off-whites.

Sonjia Williams, 27, another New Yorker, sent down an ode to herself, a "bold, strong, confident woman," with blue lace in leggings and tops, a wide-waisted skirt in a floral print and shorts in a piped leatherette.
