Even as the mobile manufacturers and carriers are busy upgrading their devices to the Android Pie operating system, it appears Google has built the framework for the next version, the Android Q. A series of renders of the Android Q in operation on a Google Pixel 3 XL has been shared online. These renders and accompanying comments indicate that Google will press ahead with the dark theme mode and system-wide dark theme approach appears to be in place in the next iteration of the OS as well.
You would have accessed the Display settings under Settings in your phones to set the wallpaper or other display settings. Now a "Set Dark mode" has been added. Under this, you get three options to choose from: Automatic, Always on and Always off. The Automatic option means it will change the theme based on the time of day. Once you have selected the Dark Theme mode, practically the whole phone will adopt the mode. The idea here is to save on the power usage, particularly on the phones with OLED panels and ensure longer battery life. This is seen as an improvement on the same feature in either Android Pie or the previous Android Oreo.
Google has been keen on shaking off the image that its Android ecosystem is less secure than the iOS run devices of Apple. It had already moved far on this score by including the permissions feature in the Android Pie version. A lot of curbs were put on the apps which were used to capturing your personal details. Now, this is being taken another notch forward in the Android Q if you went by the renders obtained by Xda Developers. To just cite one example, if an app seeks your permission to track your location, such permission will be applicable only for the duration the app is in use. Once the app is closed, there will be no location tracking by the app.
It has to be clarified that this is just a glimpse of the Android Q build and in no way represents the shape the OS will take when it is presented to the developers later in the year. And there may be many changes to the design of the OS as it appears in the renders here.

Population genetics. A microsatellite genomic DNA analysis, a tagging study, and angler recapture information were used to assess the level of reproductive isolation and test the hypothesis of natal-site fidelity as a northern pike spawning strategy in the Thousand Islands Region of the St. Lawrence River (Bosworth and Farrell 2006). A genetic analysis using six polymorphic microsatellite loci resolved significant differences (P < 0.05) in allelic frequency among spawning populations separated by less than five river kilometers. Angler recaptures of tagged fish indicated that northern pike did not disperse widely, as 72% were recaptured less than 2.5 km from their natal site. Results support the idea that natal fidelity is operating in certain sites and has important implications for management of stocks.
Northern pike and muskellunge spawning ecology. Reproductive success of two sympatric esocids in a shared spawning and nursery bay was compared based on naturally spawned egg (embryo) and age-0 abundance estimates and distribution (Farrell 2001). Northern pike have declined dramatically over the 20th century. Historically, northern pike were noted to commence spawning runs soon after ice-out in shallow flooded areas. In the present study more than 87% of estimated northern pike spawning in 1994, and 97% in 1995, occurred in offshore, deep-water habitats (2-5 m), while muskellunge spawned primarily in shallow habitats. The deepwater spawning trend resulted in a temporal delay in spawning that is hypothesized to be related to habitat loss in shallow nearshore and tributary areas due to water level regulation. A detailed simulation model of the process indicated poor survival among deep and late spawned fish, and suggested this pattern represents an ecological sink for recruitment (Farrell et al. 2006).
Factors affecting year class formation. Variables associated with year-class formation in upper St. Lawrence River northern pike were examined to better understand recent declines in populations (Smith et al. 2007). A 21-year (1977-1997) year-class strength index (YCSI) was related to environmental variables with three complementary statistical approaches. Year class strength exceeded the 21-year mean in only two of the last ten years. Late summer water levels, mid summer water temperatures, duration of ice cover over the previous winter, and adult yellow perch abundance explained 84% of the variation associated with YCSI using multiple regression. Year class formation processes had mixed responses to spring water levels supporting recent evidence indicating loss and reduced access to emergent marsh spawning habitat. Sensitivity of northern pike to water levels highlights the strong influence hydrologic regulation has on their population health.
Predicting effects of water level regulation plans on northern pike recruitment. A spatially-explicit model of young-of-the-year northern pike production was used to provide a water levels performance indicator for proposed IJC regulation plans. The model was developed from extensive TIBS data collection in the St. Lawrence River as well as experiment trials for bioenergetics and egg larval development completed in the wet lab. Because the early life history of northern pike is wetland dependent, the simulations provided a sensitive process based indicator for IJC to judge water level plan effects on this important species. Digital elevation models (DEMs) were developed for many of our study sites including the water controlled treatment and reference sites used by spawning northern pike. The DEMs coupled with predictions of vegetation change depict how water level fluctuations interacted with habitat characteristics (e.g., vegetation and water temperature) based on field data derived logistic models of the probability of egg deposition. The model was validated using long-term index data and provides simulation over 101 years for ten proposed regulation plans. IJC is using the model along with other TIBS data in an Integration Ecosystem Response Model as part of a Shared Vision model that predicts water level regulation impacts for Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River downstream to Quebec City, Canada.

Discussion in 'iPhone' started by PBGamer89, Sep 16, 2016.
I did what everyone said to do with the Watch. I unpaired it, and then backed up the phone with an encrypted backup. I restored my backup on my 7 plus and then re-paired my Apple Watch.
At first it wasn't registering any activity, no stand hours, no exercise, the only was calories from the iPhone and then I rebooted my Watch and got a prompt to set up the Activity feature and then it started registering.
But I went onto the Activity app on my 7 plus and noticed all my Activity data was gone from when I got my Watch at launch last year to yesterday.
I did an encrypted backup, I don't understand why it didn't save over. If I unpair my Watch from my 7 plus and repair to my 6 plus, will it gather the data from my 6 plus and bring it over if I repair to my 7 plus again?
It will bring the data over if you restore your watch from a backup. When you unpair your watch from your 6 it will do a backup. It should all be there. I did the same thing and was upset that everything was gone. I found out how to pair the watch to a new phone from apple support online. Don't erase your 6 before you get your watch right. Good luck.

News lite
by Metro Times Staff
This column has heard that at least a few Detroit News reporters are unhappy with the paper's "Real Life, Real News" initiative. There are two problems with the effort launched in October, gripe our sources. One is that the policy puts too much emphasis on soft features, taking valuable resources and space away from hard news. The other worry is that attention may be increasingly shifting toward the suburbs, shortchanging Detroit.
Calls to Mark Silverman, the News' publisher and editor, and Everett J. Mitchell, managing editor, were not returned. We did talk to former News reporter John Bebow, now with the Chicago Tribune. Our sources told us that Bebow was less than thrilled with the initiative, expressing his displeasure to comrades before heading west. But in a brief interview with News Hits, Bebow defended his old team. He also took a swipe at us.
"The people at the Detroit News are interested in doing the best journalism they can do," he said. "The goal is to do great community journalism. Their efforts are underestimated by other media organizations that like to cover them. Metro Times likes to snipe at the dailies. To me, you're constantly looking to find the follies."
Well, yeah, but they make it so easy.
Unless, of course, you think a story about someone getting his first bald spot is an example of great community journalism. According to an internal News document, that is just one of the many "impressive" ideas Newshounds "brainstormed" during recent Moments of Life/Real Life, Real News training sessions. (This initiative, we're told, is being pushed throughout Gannett, the paper's parent company.)
From puberty to menopause, births to funerals, attending that first R-rated movie or getting your first speeding ticket — these are the kinds of "key collective experiences" News honchos want their troops to start giving more ink to.
Can you say "fluff"?
Of course, we could be completely wrong. If so, News Hits makes this promise: We'll eat this column when the Detroit News runs a piece called "Billy's first drive-by shooting."

Review: Of Montreal, 'Aureate Gloom'
By Andy Battaglia
Aureate Gloom
In a recent interview, Of Montreal mastermind Kevin Barnes described Aureate Gloom, the band's 13th full-length album, as "sort of all over the place musically," which is really something for an artist whose style has been scattered and spastic from the start. When other indie-pop bands were trotting out rudimentary songs, Barnes was writing elaborate suites about parades full of imaginary characters and sentient bees. Since then, he's exploded in directions that somehow make sense of affinities for Prince, David Bowie, Sly Stone and countless weirdo psychedelic bands from the '60s and beyond.
"Bassem Sabry" opens the new album with a flare of electric guitar worthy of Black Sabbath before launching into... well, disco, of course. Swerves of that sort are to be expected from Of Montreal, but there's something increasingly rawer and edgier about Barnes' changes of mind. When he sings, "Every leader is a cellophane punk / If you hear me, say 'Yeah!,'" the only reasonable response is to sneak past the desire for that to make sense and scream along in solidarity instead. So many bursts of words race by in the first song alone — "cycloptic brooding," "sedition," "the mutinous tramp of cold voltage" — that it's best to relax into the realm of the evocative and let ideas fire as they trigger and fade.
So many ideas permeate Aureate Gloom, no song of which goes without at least a few surprising moves. "Empyrean Abattoir" starts off lithe and tightly coiled, with just a bass line and some suspicious drums, before jump-cutting into raw garage-rock aligned with The Creation on the soundtrack of a Wes Anderson film. The parts of "Monolithic Egress" that aren't floaty and light are dark and gnarled, with occasional deep-echo effects on the vocals to lend a sense of menace. Guitar lines in "Like Ashoka's Inferno Of Memory" invoke leads by Led Zeppelin, a heavier allusion than usual for Of Montreal, while other tracks tend toward Sonic Youth or even, in "Chthonian Dirge For Uruk The Other," thudding punk bands on the Amphetamine Reptile label.
In case you read past without pausing to take it in, it's worth taking another look at that last song title. Mull it over; let it settle. There is precisely one band that likes rock and funk and disco so much while also opening up the brain space where a title like "Chthonian Dirge For Uruk The Other" might make sense.

Q: HttpApplication does not quit I have a single page app with Angular.js front, web api2 back end, also using Castle Windsor and SignalR.
I am using a c# component on the server that maintains server state. So, on Application_Start() I register the main component with Castle Windsor as Singleton.
IoC.Container.Register(Component.For(typeof(MainManager)).ImplementedBy(typeof(MainManager)).LifeStyle.Singleton);

(however, I tested PerWebRequest and few other lifestyles, but the main problem remains the same, the started task does not quit)
Then in my Web Api, I can execute commands against that instance.
[HttpGet]
public void StartProcess(Params p) {
  IoC.Resolve<MainManager>().StartOperation(p);
}

and this also gives me opportunity to stop it from the website by calling another controller method
[HttpGet]
public void Stop() {
  IoC.Resolve<MainManager>().RequestStop();
}

This works great for the most part. However, sometimes my application gets in a bad state (for a multitude of reasons, It can get restarted in prod) I can emulate this problem by modifying web.config during running the operation, so a lot of things reset (such as Signal-R connection), but the main operation does not stop running.
(In fact, once my application is in bad state I can no longer call that Stop controller method because MainManager has been reset, so the only way to stop it as of now is to reset the whole IIS. This is certainly not desired)
I am trying to figure out how to detect this state, and terminate the running process.
As one possible solution, I am experimenting with using Bound lifestyle (new in Castle Windsor 3), trying to scope my manager to my web api httpapplication, but no luck yet.
update
I tried making the main task method static
[HttpGet]
public void Start(ForceData data) {
  MainManager.Start(data);
}

I believe this should take out the singleton instance out of equation, but the code still runs un-interrupted after touching web.config
update
took the MainManager class out of equation. All my web api method does now is loop + sleep
[HttpGet]
public void Start(ForceData data) {
  foreach (var e in data.Members)
  {
    _log.Info("processing member: {0}", e.Email);
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
  }
}

this loop is also not interrupted after touching web.config.
So, at this point I am reading about MVC request lifecycle to figure out at which point this request goes zombie rouge

A: This is by design, as HttpApplication instances are not freed immediately when application restarts,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms178473%28v=vs.100%29.aspx

When an application restart is required, ASP.NET will serve all pending requests from the existing application domain and the old assemblies before restarting the application domain and loading the new assemblies.

In all your sample Web API method, you can see the thread is still busy, which means ASP.NET runtime considers this request is still being processed.

At least I am taking stock on ground and not in helicopter: Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray hits back at BJP
MUMBAI: Amid opposition BJP's criticism over the duration of his visit to cyclone-hit Konkan region of Maharashtra, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has said that he was at least taking stock of the situation on the ground and not conducting an aerial survey in a helicopter.
His remarks were apparently aimed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who recently conducted an aerial survey in Gujarat, where cyclone Tauktae wreaked havoc earlier this week.
Thackeray on Friday visited Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts in Konkan to know the ground situation in the aftermath of the cyclone, and directed the authorities to complete the crop loss assessment within two days.
However, BJP leaders in the state targeted him over the duration of his visit.
While former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said he was surprised to know that Thackeray was making political comments during his "merely three-hour long" tour of Konkan, Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council Pravin Darekar sought to know how the CM could understand in just three hours the extent of damage caused by the cyclone.
When asked about the BJP's criticism, Thackeray said on Friday, "It's okay if my tour lasted four hours.
At least I am on the ground taking stock of the situation and not in a helicopter for a photo session…I am a photographer myself."
"I have not come here to respond to opposition's criticism," he said at Malvan in Sindhudurg.
Cyclone Tautkae, which made landfall in Gujarat on Monday night, also affected several other states along the west coast, including Goa, Maharashtra and Karnataka.

A federal investigation into Wells Fargo has broadened to include the bank's wealth-management division, according to a Wall Street Journal report Friday.
The Justice Department is now investigating whether Wells Fargo made inappropriate recommendations or referrals, or failed to inform customers about potential conflicts of interest, the Journal reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter.
A bank spokesman declined to comment on the report Friday.
Meanwhile, Well Fargo (WFC) said earlier this week that CEO Tim Sloan received a $4.6 million raise, or a 35 percent pay hike, despite the bank continuing to face the fallout of its sales-practices scandal.
Last July, the bank said it would pay $80 million to customers who the bank signed up and charged for auto insurance that they did not want or need. Wells Fargo said that roughly 570,000 customers were affected and will be getting refunds.
The bank previously disclosed in a securities filing that it is conducting its own internal investigation into its wealth-management business, and is reviewing the fees it charged customers in those accounts, including potential overcharges. Both of those investigations are in the early stages, the bank said.
Earlier this year, the Federal Reserve put significant restrictions on the San Francisco bank citing "widespread consumer abuses." The bank is replacing four members of its board and its asset level has been frozen by the Fed until internal controls are improved.
Separate from the sales-practices and the reported wealth-management investigations, Wells Fargo is under investigation for potentially overcharging corporate customers in foreign-exchange transactions as well as an investigation into its auto-lending business for the auto insurance policy sales.

Home News UK: 'Pre-lockdown measures not enough to stop virus'
UK: 'Pre-lockdown measures not enough to stop virus'
Scientific advisers to the British government warned in a document released Saturday that a return to the three-tiered system of local coronavirus restrictions would not be enough to suppress infections after the end of the current nationwide lockdown, according to local media.
The letter was published internally the day before the current lockdown came into effect on Nov. 4, but was only published to the public on Saturday, news outlets widely reported.
"The longer-term outlook depends on both the nature of non-pharmaceutical interventions that are implemented in England after 2 December and policies over the festive period," it said, adding that if England returns to the tiering system, transmission would return to current rates of increase.
"Initial analysis shows a clear effect from tier 3 interventions and much less from tiers 1 and 2. It is not yet clear whether tier 3 measures alone are sufficient to reduce the reproduction number below 1," it added.
The government has so far insisted that the current lockdown will end on Dec. 2, but has shied from defining what specifically would replace it.
A further 26,860 cases of the coronavirus were reported Saturday in the UK, along with 462 more deaths, government figures showed.
This brings the total number of cases to 1,344,356 and the death toll to 51,766.

The area we inhabit today, the Missoula Valley, used to sit deep under a massive body of water.
It is hard to believe, but there is scientific proof. This body of water, now known as Glacial Lake Missoula, was created around the end of the last ice age about 15,000 years ago and, at its maximum height, reached 4,200 feet in elevation.
The significance of that number today and the historical ice age event has been permanently marked with engraved stones on well-known hiking trails on Mount Sentinel and Mount Jumbo.
One of those hiking trails happens to be located just outside my front door, which is a benefit to renting across from The University of Montana student housing on South Higgins. I can literally leash up my dogs, walk across the street, admire the ASUM community garden, and five minutes later be hiking up a mountain. Reason number 38 why I love Missoula – the outdoor accessibility.
Today's hike up Mount Sentinel included an agenda: See how many cool Instagram photos I can snap and hike to an elevation height of 4,200 feet above the valley floor.
You can access this hike through the south end of the University's Lewis and Clark student housing just off South Higgins Avenue. (There is also another trailhead off the corner of South Avenue and Maurice Avenue.) Once you are through the parking lot, follow a short, rocky/dirt road. You'll pass the community garden, and you will see the trail straight up ahead.
Tip for this hike: Read up on the history behind Glacial Lake Missoula so that when you reach the high water mark, you will have a greater appreciation for the placement of the stone.
After the strenuous uphill climb, you will also have a greater appreciation for the person who had to haul that stone on his or her back to get it to that point. Actually, they used an ATV, but either way, Missoula should be extremely grateful to the Ice Age Floods Institute for its proposal and establishment of the 4,200 feet high water markers as well as to the City of Missoula's Parks Board for permitting the request.
More tips for this hike: The best time to hike Mount Sentinel is late spring/early summer when the wild flowers are in bloom. Also, bring water for hiking this on warmer days because there is zero shade and it will seem as through you are walking straight uphill.
There are numerous trails on Mount Sentinel, but the quickest route to the high water mark, which evidently means the hardest, is to follow Mount Sentinel's fire road until you reach Pengelly ridge trail. There are nicely placed signs along the way (see my cool Instagram gallery below). Follow Pengelly ridge upward and you will eventually see the high water mark to the west of the trail.
At this point take in the magical view of Missoula and try to picture a lake the size of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario combined.
Quite fascinating, am I right?

K.P. Nichols is currently interning for Make It Missoula. In the fall, she will graduate from The University of Montana with B.S. in Marketing. K.P. and husband, Josh, are originally from Nebraska, but moved to the mountains for the outdoor recreational opportunities and they absolutely LOVE Missoula.

Information Security vs. Cybersecurity: What's the Difference?
By The Fullstack Academy Team
Data is the lifeblood of every company and organization. Safeguarding that data is the job of information security and cybersecurity professionals. However, the number of large data breaches since 2000 illustrates the challenges of the job. Companies including Yahoo!, LinkedIn, and Alibaba have experienced breaches that have compromised billions of users' data.
That's why the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts 35% growth in the number of jobs for information security professionals between 2021 and 2031--significantly higher than the average growth rate for all occupations, which stands at 4%.
Understanding the differences between information security and cybersecurity can help individuals who are interested in this growing career sector decide which direction to pursue. Accelerated training programs such as a cybersecurity analytics bootcamp can provide an introduction to information security vs. cybersecurity and give aspiring professionals a familiarity with the important concepts in each field.
Information security is the process by which an organization protects its data by controlling access to it. Cybersecurity is the subset of information security that focuses on defending an organization from online attacks such as malware or denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
Information security is responsible for both an organization's physical security and its online security. Examples of the tools used for information security include:
Employee badges. Badges are the first line of defense to keep unauthorized personnel out of a physical space.
Password protections. Passwords prevent access to a computer network by malicious actors.
Firewalls. These hardware and software tools keep hackers from accessing a server or network.
Biometrics. Sophisticated scanners and other devices help ensure that only authorized personnel can physically access a location or a network computer.
Security awareness training. Information security teams implement ongoing training modules so employees can be aware of common threats such as phishing (emails that purport to come from a trusted source) and social engineering (fostering personal relationships to gain access to data and physical locations).
Disaster recovery planning. The information security team is responsible for developing a disaster recovery plan and making sure that it runs as designed.
The key objectives of information security are confidentiality, integrity, and availability, commonly abbreviated as CIA. The healthcare industry provides a relatable example of how CIA applies to a field with complex data and needs.
Personal healthcare information must be kept confidential according to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) under threat of serious penalties. This data, which includes patients' medical, financial, and personal information such as name, address, and demographics, is high-value data.
A hospital or doctor's office must secure the integrity of its data and protect its accuracy. If a provider's data is corrupted due to a system failure or because it was maliciously altered by an unauthorized person, it can impact their ability to provide care. Data integrity means ensuring that the data is accurate and usable for people who are authorized to access it.
Data that is locked away from all users may be safe, but it's no longer useful. Data has to remain available to authorized personnel. Doctors, nurses, and hospital administrators need to access data to treat patients, send out billing information, and schedule additional care. This concept applies to many industries. For example, an accounting team may need access to an organization's sensitive financial data, which other teams may not be authorized to see.
What Is Cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity protects data from digital attacks. It secures access to data on computers and networks. Cybersecurity professionals set up virus scans, anti-malware software, and intrusion prevention systems, which monitor for suspicious activity.
The operational areas of cybersecurity include:
Preventing unauthorized access to an organization's computer network is the first line of defense. This may include blacklisting suspicious sites so users don't inadvertently click on malware. Spam filters catch suspicious emails. Organizations must constantly update their network and keep abreast of security patches. Out-of-date software is one of the most common ways for hackers to breach an organization's network.
The popularity of cloud applications and the number of cloud hosting providers means that data is fragmented and accessible from many more access points. Cybersecurity professionals must understand cloud security and how it impacts their strategy to protect their organization.
A cybersecurity analyst may be responsible for breaking into their own systems to identify vulnerabilities. They provide a report on their findings and make recommendations to improve the organization's security profile. Experts say that organizations should run penetration testing exercises once a quarter.
If a breach occurs, the cybersecurity team is responsible for implementing the disaster recovery plan for their organization. In the case of a ransomware attack, an organization must be able to access its most recent backups and be up and running again with minimal downtime. In the case of a DoS (denial-of-service) attack, cybersecurity professionals move into action to circumvent the attack and bring the organization back online, allowing business as usual to resume.
Information Security vs. Cybersecurity: How Are They Different?
The differences between the information security and cybersecurity professions can be summed up as follows:
Information security protects all data, both digital and physical data. Cybersecurity shores up digital defenses, focusing on software and hardware.
Information security deals with both physical and digital threats; cybersecurity deals only with digital threats.
Information security develops policies and procedures; cybersecurity implements them.
Information security develops the disaster recovery plan; cybersecurity implements it.
Careers in Information Security vs. Cybersecurity
The high demand for information security and cybersecurity professionals means plenty of opportunities are available for aspiring analysts.
How to Get a Career in Information Security
Since information security comprises both digital and physical security, applicants for information security roles must have a background in both technology and security, risk management, compliance, or a related area to be eligible.
Individuals interested in information security can learn about its concepts and fundamentals from a cybersecurity bootcamp. The curriculum may cover topics such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Linux, data encoding, and ethical hacking, among others. Capabilities such as excellent communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team are also important for a career in information security.
Jobs in the field include:
Information security analyst. The median salary of entry-level information security analysts was around $61,000 as of August 2022, according to the compensation research site Payscale. The BLS placed the median salary for all information security analysts at $102,600 as of 2021.
Identity and access manager. Identity managers create applications that verify a user's identity, protecting their vital personal information. The median salary of identity and access managers was around $100,000 as of August 2022, according to Payscale.
Senior security consultant. These consultants analyze an organization's security technology and profile and advise the organization on changes to eliminate vulnerabilities. The median salary of senior security consultants was around $110,000 as of August 2022, according to Payscale.
How to Get a Career in Cybersecurity
Many cybersecurity analysts come to the field from completely different backgrounds, even nontechnical fields. Individuals interested in a career in cybersecurity can get many of the required skills and prepare to obtain basic certifications for getting started in the field through a cybersecurity bootcamp.
Cybersecurity certifications help applicants stand out in the job market. These certifications confirm that individuals have the specialized training that the job requires. Popular certifications include:
CompTIA Security+. This is the basic certification for entry-level cybersecurity analysts.
CompTIA CySA+. This certification confirms that the holder is proficient in behavior analytics, which is used to neutralize threats.
Getting a foot in the door to the cybersecurity industry can lead to a fulfilling and exciting career. Some jobs in the field are:
Cybersecurity analyst. The median entry-level salary of cybersecurity analysts was around $79,300 as of June 2022, according to Lightcast™.
Penetration tester. The role of the penetration tester is to identify a network's vulnerabilities and use that information to secure the network against malicious attacks. The median annual salary of penetration testers according to Payscale was around $88,000 as of August 2022.

UCF's McKenzie Milton confident he'll play again at Spectrum Stadium
Justin Warmoth and Jamie Seh talk to Milton about recovery on 'The Weekly'
ORLANDO, Fla. – During the annual college football game between in-state rivals University of Central Florida and University of South Florida in Tampa, an average play turned into something much more serious for UCF Knights' quarterback McKenzie Milton.
Milton was tackled low by a Bulls defensive back and dislocated his knee. The gruesome injury sucked the excitement out of Raymond James Stadium in Tampa as Milton was carted off the field and rushed to Tampa General Hospital, where doctors worked to restore blood flow in his right leg.
Both News 6 sports director Jamie Seh and anchor Justin Warmoth had a chance to sit down with the star quarterback last week to discuss the injury, his faith and his future. Their full interviews will be featured on this Sunday's episode of "The Weekly on ClickOrlando.com."
"I definitely knew something was bad right away," Milton said. "I'm just grateful USF's trainer was the first one out there. That's our rival school, but he knew something was bad."
Milton has already had numerous surgeries to repair the damage to his leg. He says he's been leaning on his faith to get him through the long recovery process.
"Some people might just dive into their sport or career and that's what defines them," Milton said. "But I try to base my identity in my faith and I think that's something that has definitely helped me."
Even though many question whether Milton will play football again, he's confident he'll be back in front of the fans at Spectrum Stadium.
"When that moment comes, and I definitely think it will, I'm going to soak it in," Milton said. "But after that, it's going to be time to roll."
You can watch the full interview with Milton on Sunday at 8 a.m. on News 6.

I got my first CD player during Christmas 1995. I was 13. Up until this time, music to me had been limited to whatever I could find on the radio (which I couldn't rewind), Disney princess movies, other fluffy movie and show soundtracks.
My grandmother had season tickets to Broadway musicals and Classical Series and so I drowned in those, willingly. That music also made up the majority of my tape collection. On the way to school I was able to hear the radio but my mother preferred country against our "harder" choices. We would bond over many of the bands from her time but I still never had what I considered true musical freedom until Christmas 1993 with the arrival of my first CD player.
I see this as a definitive moment in my musical development and the start of a major addiction. I was 15, had allowance and I needed things to spend my money on. I would eventually join Columbia House, BMG Music (both no longer in existence as CD selling companies)and all the other companies that gave me music on the cheap. I would scam them using multiple names, ending up with tons of CDs and not enough time to devour them all. It was the start of my searching; searching for music that filled a hole.
I was given two CDs with my new CD player. My parents, knowing my love for singing and pop culture, gave me Mariah Carey's Music Box. My Uncle John (unsure of his motivation) gave me Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water.
I would come to memorize every one of the songs on both CDs within days. I fell IN LOVE with Simon and Garfunkel while Mariah Carey disappeared in the back of my CD case after a few months and eventually from my memory.
I was immediately turned on emotionally and spiritually by Bridge Over Troubled Waters. I was 13. I struggled with anger and teenage angst and this CD connected with me on so many levels. The voices, the lyrics, the music. A simply stunning CD. More importantly, it opened me up to a time period in music that I had missed…the 70's. A few months later, I would find Jerry and the musical hole within me would be filled.
There is so much to say about it but I won't bore you with my run-on stories. My point is that my connection with Simon and Garfunkel runs deep. Paul Simon is sort of my Bob Dylan. I can hear you all screaming now but it's true. He may not win in your books for the highest award of lyrical and/or song construction but in my book, he is #1.
The Auditorium Stravinsky stage, described in full in my Overview of Montreux Jazz Festival Post, was littered with musicians. I noticed an accordion, a xylophone, a piano, three guitars, a percussion section, one bass, two drummers, a piano and keyboard, horns, and a violin (I think).
Paul Simon's desire to incorporate multiple multi-cultural instruments is a huge selling point for me being someone who likes to see change and diversity in her musicians. Simon ranks up there with Bela Fleck for going out in to the world to be the hungry learner, the constant musical hunter. I find so much beauty in musicians like that. We need more musicians like that.
This would be my first time seeing Paul Simon live. This was an epic moment for me. I felt giddy, like a school girl (pun intended) going to see her first musical crush. I imagined seeing Paul Simon many times in my life but I never thought the first time would be in this amazing auditorium in Switzerland. I had to cross the world to make it happen and I couldn't be happier.
The show was in The Auditorium Stravinsky and we were in the #3 box seats instead of #4 from the night previous. I wondered if any stars would surround me again. Esperanza Spalding and Paul Simon had been my box neighbors just a night earlier as I watched The Miles Davis Tribute.
Tonight's show would consist of multiples titles off Simon's latest CD, So Beautiful or So What. The CD is built around his acoustic guitar and as the title suggests, the songs consist of views on extremes. However, his projections find themselves somewhere in the middle. His songs lie between the worlds of love and indifference, good and evil, hope and heartbreak. He speaks on everything from Christmas shopping to suicide bombers to Global warming. It speaks of his nephew, who has been on multiple tours of duty to Iraq to Jay-Z and Jesus.
Singer-songwriter Paul Simon was listening to a box set of old American recordings one day. Among the songs, he found a Christmas sermon bearing the voice of Atlanta's Rev. J.M. Gates, a hugely popular preacher in the 1930s and '40s. That sermon stayed with Simon, who turned it into a song.
Simon started his set with "Boy In The Bubble," the opening song on his 1986 album Graceland. Simon's lyrics deal with the complex human consequences of modern technology. Do you recall the Boy In The Bubble from the 1980s? Ironically, this was a perfect start to a show that would continue on with songs highlighting intense issues.
"Dazzling Blue" followed and was the first song performed off Simon's latest album. The song has a heavy African vibe; the stage was cast in a blue curtain of light with the majority of light on Simon alone. Beginning with a talking drum from India, the audience was immediately given access to the love that Simon has for different styles and texture of sound found in various cultures around the globe.
American rock drumming initiated the beginning to "Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover," a 1975 hit song from his album Still Crazy After All These Years. The stage was filled with green light and Simon sang about the song's mistress and her humorous advice to a husband on ways to end a relationship.
The bluesy title track, "So Beautiful or So What," off Paul Simon's latest album, began with two wooden bars being clapped together. The song verbalizes a lesson about life being what you make of it.
I swear I heard a telephone ringing as part of the chorus. It was totally prevalent but I am not sure it was part of the song. At the time, it didn't surprise me but it made me curious. I loved this song, with its full sound and rock sensibilities. There was a spoon on metal solo, accordion overlay, beaded shakers kept the beat and Paul showed his picking skills. One thing about Paul's music, the sounds he conjures out of the various worldly instruments he employs in his music is what truly sets each song apart from the next.
Using his mouth in an unusual way to intro the song, Paul Simon chose another oldie, "Slip Sliding Away." The best way I can describe these mouth sounds would be like when the drawings in the cartoons would take two coconuts to make the sound of a horse walking. It was gorgeous…until there was an equipment malfunction. Paul paused, tapping his fingers on his guitar until his other guitarist strapped in. Flutes and harpsichords were being played but I couldn't figure out who was playing the beautiful sounds. Simon accompanied the beauty with whistles and the song ended with acoustic scaling and whistling by Simon.
"Peace like a River," the 7th song of his 2nd studio album, highlighted the piano. Paul's voice cut right through me. There is something so calming and soothing about his sound. The softness is romantic yet there is fierceness in his delivery that comes off as pure professionalism and eagerness to be different.
Four drumsticks counted off as both drummers began the lead into "The Obvious Child." This song is defined by it's Latin-inspired rhythms and is off The Rhythm and Saints album released in 1990. Reminiscent of a Big Band feel, we started moving in our seats. Paul Simon knows what I like, he truly does. Bright red lights blew up the stage as Josh was so moved he got up to dance.
Did Paul know his favorite fans were in the audience from NYC? Did he know that the NYCers who were there loved this next song? Perhaps not! But I like to think he did as he broke into "The Only Living Boy in New York." This song touched me deeply as it was the only song sung off Simon and Garfunkel's 1970 release, Bridge Over Troubled Water, one of the greatest albums to ever grace this planet.
The irony was not lost on me that on the album it is Art Garfunkel who sings the song while Simon takes a secondary position in the delivery. Not this time. Not tonight.
The tears trickled down my cheeks freely now. It had only been a matter of time before I knew this would happen and I did think it was going to happen sooner then it did. It took eight songs to rip into my heartstrings. I was immediately transported back to being 12 and hearing his voice for the first time and I prayed that he would sing more songs from this album but it never happened.
On "Questions For The Angels," a middle-aged man strolls across the Brooklyn Bridge searching for heavenly help, only to be confronted with a Jay-Z billboard for a reply.
And the new day is born….
Can I just give props to Paul Simon for picking on Jay-Z? I don't want to condone any negative tension but I find it hilarious, although not surprising, that Paul Simon chose these lyrics. It makes me recall the feud between NAS (who I am seeing tonight with Damien Marley) and Jay-Z. Would this bring Jay-Z down on Simon? Will there be retaliation through lyrics? Can you imagine that going down? Now, that is some musical drama that I would be interested in seeing take place…just saying.
It was back to the old school, this time with songs from Simon's most famous album, Graceland. At this point I just couldn't take notes anymore. I had to dance this out. Other members of the audience felt the same way as they were lifted out of their seats during the dueling drummers solos during "Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes." The song is a pure classic about a short relationship Paul Simon had with a diamond mine owner's daughter, while recording in South Africa. She was very rich and privileged, yet she acted very down to earth, like a poor girl. The drummers were amazing playing off each other and I longed for a concert of just drummers. Can you imagine? I can.
The Lady Smith Black Mombazo inspired song "Gumboots" kept the dance party going. This song reminded me String Cheese meeting Bela Fleck. There was picking on the guitars and a violin entered the mix. The piano player got up and played the inside of his piano. There was such a wonderful mixture of sound and it kept us all on our feet. It's a beautiful song inspired by The Gumboot Dance which is an African dance that is performed by dancers wearing Wellington boots. In South Africa these boots are more commonly called gumboots.
The rest of the band joined the stage for "Kodachrome from 1973" This song left the hall so full of sound. Great sound. My friends and I were all up dancing in our box. There was no calming us down.
There you have it 🙂 The end of the set. Exiting the stage to monstrous applause, the entire band left. The entire audience began clapping in unison without letting up. Shortly after, Paul came out alone on his acoustic guitar.
When the notes trickled from the stage and the audience heard "Sounds of Silence," the Auditorium went silent. You could hear a pin drop. "Hello darkness my old friend"…and with that, the tears flowed freely again.
This was definitely the most intimate song of the night. It tore at the heart strings, it made people smile, scream and feel something inside of them stir. Paul's music does that to you. It's such a classic song that everyone on the planet knows and is touched by it.
Then the audience joined in by humming the lyrics. A single man and his guitar was standing alone on one of the world's most famous stages and had the entire placed entranced. It was magic. It was awesome. It was music at its simplest. Music at its best.
"Here Comes The Sun" was the second choice with accordions and two guitars with Simon backing the melody. And with that, the stage emptied again.
The following video has "Sounds of Silence" into "Here Come The Sun." Enjoy!
Everyone walked off stage and for a few minutes the audience just chanted in unison. Paul Simon came out yet again for a second encore. There was no end in sight and that was awesome.
I took out Josh's Iphone and video taped "Crazy Love" in it's entirety with GREAT quality. Enjoy!
"Still Crazy After All These Years" was next. Paul didn't have an instrument for these songs. Just his voice.
"Call Me Al" ended the set. Everyone was finally up dancing now. Dancing down below me and clapping. The flute player moved to the keys. There was a major bass rage. Only a few seconds but so funky! You know the bass line I'm speaking of??
At 70 years old, Paul Simon shows no signs of slowing down. He is a master of his art, with a soft, intelligent voice, that attains an unmatchable sense of melancholy and tenderness. Regarding his latest cd, anyone who can take a sermon and build an entirely new outlook on life through it by music is stellar. I was moved and inspired by this show and I hope that this article touches you in some way that makes you go out and purchase the new album or perhaps invest in seeing him live. Simply Phenomenal.

Stacey-I will look into this and allow you to know what I discover out. It appears to me that this may be a violation, and most offices could be discovered responsible. One other thing I do not like is when the nurse or tech calls out your full name when it's your turn to come again. That additionally seems like a violation of privacy. Anyway, I'll do some digging and get again to you!
Who is in charge? Start with EMR manufacturers, who lobbied Congress to require every hospital and physician's office to install an EMR system; hospital directors who bought technology that conveniently pushed billing duties onto medical doctors and nurses; and federal regulators, who imposed on EMRs numerous quality metric necessities that do nothing to improve care. As a result of one of these food is made with love and never run by means of machines it does value a little more to make and sell. We've all bought used to that. However I'm hoping that if we are able to get increasingly more people into this manner of consuming the demand will rise and the prices will continue to fall.

The challenge of designing smaller, cost-effective systems that require additional processing and performance power led to 3D chip stacking of bare die and a new approach to packaging known as SiP (systems-in-package), also known as multi-chip modules (MCMs). The benefits of MCM/SiP package technology include the ability to achieve greater functionality in a reduced time-to-market window that cannot be accomplished through direct silicon integration or ASIC development. Along with the many benefits of the SiP approach came new design challenges. This paper focuses on a common occurrence in systems companies: how to design SiPs that are optimized for their target PCBs.

For each entry only a name is given, sometimes with a placename added in brackets: there may be a reference number, but there is no key by which the original advertisement may be traced. The enquirer of the time had to remit £1 for a 'Full and Authentic Copy of the Original Advertisement, together with name and date of newspaper in which the same appeared'.

Review: Love and the Incredibly Old Man
Written by Lee Siegel
Published by University of Chicago Press, 2008, 227 pages
Lee Siegel's Love and the Incredibly Old Man is a novel about a professor and novelist named Lee Siegel who agrees to ghost write the memoirs of a man claiming to be Juan Ponce de León, the Spanish conquistador who explored Florida and, legend has it, went in search of the Fountain of Youth. According to Mr. de León's story, he actually found the life-sustaining fountain and is now over five hundred years old. But the fountain, alas, has run dry; and now the ancient explorer is facing his fast-approaching end of days. He wants his story told, and he thinks Mr. Siegel is just the man to do it. And after he offers the writer a massive amount of money for the job, Mr. Siegel thinks Mr. Siegel is just the man to do it, too.
Mr. de León has had five wives over the centuries and loved countless other women (in fact, at times it seems he's made love to just about every woman he ever met, including the Queen of Spain). He's been an actor and masqueraded as a priest. He's taken on many different identities over the centuries, to avoid having his secret found out. And he claims to have discovered cigars, rum, and popcorn.
The story unfolds mainly through daily interviews between Siegel and de León, alternating with the writer's night-time attempts to pull together some kind of a manuscript that will pass muster with his employer. Juan Ponce has definite ideas about what he wants the book to be. It's to be about love in all its forms ("Love and time, love and age, love and death. Love true and false, glorious and foolish, tragic and comic.") and it must tell his unbelievable story in a way that will make people believe it.
Well, by the end of Love and the Incredibly Old Man, I think Mr. Siegel and Mr. Siegel have both done their jobs pretty well. It's a tall tale, but one you'd really like to believe.
To be honest, I never would have chosen this book on my own. I received it through LibraryThing's Early Reviewer program, and (even though it was one of the titles I requested) at first glance I really thought maybe the famous LT algorithm had experienced a major glitch this time. But I guess they knew what they were doing after all, because in the end I found myself really enjoying the book. Sometimes it's good to step outside your comfort zone and treat yourself to something new and unfamiliar.
Still, it's probably not a book for everyone – a lot of it is very bawdy and mildly pornographic. Not a lot happens – it's mostly description, not action. And the first third of the book, with de León telling Siegel over and over how he wants the book written, I found really tedious after a while. But overall, it's an imaginative, erotic, and very funny piece of metafiction.
