Dell XPS 13 OLED Impressions: Great Display, High Price
The Dell XPS laptops are the company's flagship ultraportables, and the Dell XPS 13 2021 edition now comes with an OLED display to make it even more appealing. The Dell XPS 13 was known for its sleek and stylish chassis but with the new display, did Dell have to forego some other key features to be able to offer this option? This variant is currently only in the US and UK market, and we got our hands on one to use and review. Here are our first impressions of the Dell XPS 13 OLED.
Just like the previous versions, the 2021 variant of the Dell XPS 13 is also extremely lightweight and compact. It weighs only 1.2kgs, which is the same as Apple's M1 Macbook Air. As you'd expect from a laptop in this series, it's a good looking laptop, and the Arctic White variant I tried out is quite striking. It has a brushed silver lid, with the Arctic White finish on the inside. The palm rests are made of woven glass fiber like in the previous XPS line-up for the premium feeling.
But it's not just the design that makes this feel like a premium laptop. The 512GB storage and 16GB RAM variant with the OLED screen will make you shell out a hefty $1,599 (or approximately Rs. 1,19,000). There are slightly cheaper FHD and UHD options also available.
Since the OLED display is the star of the show here, let's talk about that. The bezels around the screen are so minute that the screen immediately commands attention. We have used and reviewed the 4K screen of the past variants but the OLED one is truly stunning. This version comes with 3,456 x 2,160 pixels, or what Dell (and Dell alone) calls the 3.5K. The display difference is really noticeable if you put an OLED with a non-OLED screen. The colours are vibrant with sharp details and deep blacks. Watching Netflix on this was a delightful experience and the laptop delivers a gorgeous picture every time. The pixel dense display really throws up a lot of detail. The visual richness of Queen Elizabeth's reign in the Netflix series The Crown is spectacular on this screen and really comes to life.
It's not the brightest screen that's out there though. The brightness maxes out at 400 nits, but working outdoors was a decent experience. It was not reflective at all and I didn't have a problem with glare either. Dell's XPS line-up is known for its touchscreens and here also, the touchscreen works well and is very responsive, although this is not a feature you end up using much. It's quite an afterthought on a laptop like this that runs pretty smoothly as is. But testing it out, I realised it does not leave very visible smudges or fingerprints on the screen.
Dell XPS 13 now comes with an OLED screen option
In terms of battery life, on a single charge I could use the laptop for only about seven hours with different day to day functions like browsing the web, watching Netflix for an hour and a little bit of gaming. I did use it in dark mode so that helped a bit. But playing Fortnite on this drained the battery faster than I expected and it needed to be charged pretty fast.
Another gripe I have with the Dell XPS 13 2021 is the limited number of ports it comes with. The ultra thin aluminium chassis has two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a headphone jack and a micro SD card slot. A USB Type-A is missed here but Dell does pack in a Type-A to Type-C dongle in the box.

There are speakers located on the underside of the laptop in small cut-outs. The sound is punchy and loud especially when the Dell XPS 13 is placed on a flat and even surface. The sound definitely adds to the excellent media experience.
Not much has changed with the Dell XPS 13 other than the OLED screen option, but the keyboard has been improved. The keys are not too clicky but not rigid either. Typing my first impressions piece on this felt easy and comfortable. There is also a two-stage backlighting on this keyboard which looks really good against the white finish. The 4.4 x 2.5 inch touchpad is silky smooth and reacts instantly.
In terms of performance, the OLED variant of the Dell XPS 13 comes equipped with an Intel Core i7-1185G7 CPU with 16GB of RAM by default. This is more than enough power for day-to-day tasks and it could handle opening multiple webpages, and streaming 1080p videos with ease. There is an Intel Iris Xe graphics card which can assist with editing videos and playing games like Fortnite but only on lower graphics settings.
The webcam is inconspicuous and almost hidden in the bezel. I tried taking a few work calls with it and the output was slightly grainy especially in low light, but for a camera that size it did an okay job.
The Dell XPS 13 debuts the OLED screen and the borderless InfinityEdge display is gorgeous, improved further by the OLED panel. Since Dell has not experimented much with the performance or design, there is not much to be said about those aspects. The design is true to its premium ultraportable category and the performance will do well in day-to-day tasks.
The battery does take a slight hit on this model with the OLED screen. On first impression, with a lofty price of $1,599 (or approximately Rs. 1,19,000), the OLED option of the Dell XPS 13 will appeal more to visual enthusiasts who might be particular about screen quality and colour reproduction. But there are FHD and UHD options as well, and these actually give you some room for RAM and memory customisation choices as well.

Trump invites Kim to DMZ meeting
Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un pose before a meeting at the Sofitel Legend Metropole hotel in Hanoi. File / Saul Loeb / AFP
US President Donald Trump on Saturday invited North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to meet for a historic handshake at the demilitarised zone (DMZ) that divides the Korean peninsula, and said he would have "no problem" stepping over the border.
The invitation issued on Twitter caught observers by surprise.
If Kim accepts, it would be the third meeting between the leaders of the two wartime enemies amid efforts to contain North Korea's nuclear ambitions.
The North's official KCNA news agency quoted Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui as saying the offer was "a very interesting suggestion" but that no official request had been received.
Trump lobbed the shock invitation on Twitter from the G20 summit in Osaka, saying: "if Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the Border/DMZ just to shake his hand and say Hello(?)!"
He later said he would have "no problem" stepping into the North with Kim − in what would be a dramatic gesture re-enacting an extraordinary 2018 scene when the young leader invited South Korean President Moon Jae-in to walk over the Military Demarcation Line that forms the border between the Koreas.
"Sure I would, I would. I'd feel very comfortable doing that. I'd have no problem," Trump told reporters.
The US leader said the invitation was spontaneous, but it comes amid a recent flurry of diplomacy over North Korea's nuclear programme after a Trump-Kim summit in Hanoi collapsed without an agreement.
Speculation grew that something was afoot when US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo skipped a G20 dinner on Friday without giving a reason.
"We'll see. If he is there, we will see each other for two minutes," said Trump.
"We seem to get along... That's a good thing, not a bad thing," he added.
North Korea's Choe said if a meeting took place it would be "another meaningful occasion in further deepening the personal relations between the two leaders and advancing the bilateral relations."
The North's speedy response to Trump's offer, and from such a senior figure, was seen by analysts as an indication that Kim would agree to the meeting as soon as Washington followed up with an official proposal.
Cheong Seong-chang, a senior researcher at the private Sejong Institute in Seoul, said Kim had "practically accepted" Trump's invitation.
"If he (Kim) isn't interested he would not release such a statement to begin with."
Twitter is not available to ordinary North Korean citizens, who have no access to the global internet, but Trump told reporters that Kim "follows" his account and that a "quick" response had been received to his offer.
Later, at a dinner with the South's President Moon Jae-in after he flew to Seoul, he was asked about the meeting and said: "We're gonna see. They're working things out right now."
But there was scepticism that a fleeting frontier photo opportunity, no matter how symbolic, would help to bridge the two sides' differences over denuclearisation.
"For talks to have real legs, either Kim must credibly commit to denuclearisation or Trump must credibly agree to allow Kim to keep some of his nuclear weapons," said Scott Seaman, director of Eurasia Group Asia.
"Without a shared end goal, creating a viable roadmap to reaching it will remain impossible."

The missiles, launched from near the coastal city of Wonsan, flew about 430 km (267 miles) out over the sea, reaching an altitude of 50 km (30 miles), before splashing down,
North Korea's ruling party to meet amid 'tense situation': state media
North Korea will hold a plenary session of its ruling party's central committee on Wednesday, a day after leader Kim Jong Un chaired a politburo meeting to discuss ways to make progress under the "prevailing tense situation," state media reported.
US, North Korea agree at DMZ to resume stalled nuclear talks: Trump
After shaking hands with Kim over the line that marks where their two countries and their allies fought each other to a standstill in the 1950-53 Korean War, Trump walked for several steps into North Korean territory, before another handshake.
Xi urged Trump to ease North Korea sanctions in 'timely' fashion
Xi "pushed for the US to show flexibility and meet the DPRK (North Korea) halfway, including the timely easing of sanctions against the DPRK and finding a solution to each other's concerns through dialogue," Wang Yi told reporters.

Greg Ward Jr., Houston Cougars Senior Quarterback
Greg Ward, Jr. is a quintessential dual-threat quarterback, exactly the kind that has given Oklahoma defenses all kinds of trouble in the past. Last season, Ward became the first Houston quarterback -and they've had plenty of good ones – to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season.
In 2015, Ward rushed for 1,108 yards and 21 touchdowns, and he also threw the football for an additional 2,828 yards, completing 67 percent of his passes, including 17 for touchdowns.
The Houston signal caller broke 14 school or American Conference records in the 2015 season, including the Cougar single-season mark for rushing touchdowns, which ranked ninth in the nation. Ward, along with Clemson's Deshaun Watson, who throttled the Sooners in a 20-point College Football Playoff loss to Clemson, were the only two quarterbacks a year ago who rushed for over 1,000 yards and passed for more than 2,000 yards.
Ward ranked eighth in the nation last season with 16 runs of at least 20 yards, and also had nine rushing attempts that went for 30 or more yards.
In two seasons as the Houston starting quarterback, Ward has a record of 19-2.
Oklahoma will clearly have its hands full with the Houston quarterback in the season opener. If they aren't able to put quarterback pressure on Ward and allow him to break containment and get outside of the pocket, it could be a very long and disappointing season opener for the visiting Sooners.

Optimizing a website for search traffic is not a simple task. It usually takes a long time to see results from search engine optimization campaigns. Also, Google's algorithm is very unpredictable. As a result, sometimes SEO involves a lot of guesswork.The more information you possess, the better results you'll see from your SEO strategies. By using data science, you can get valuable insights into your website's performance and answers to some of your SEO questions.
Audience platforms are expanding in ways that have allowed them to surf beyond their environments and into the broader web. The Atlas of the Social Media scene, Facebook, has turned the practice of connecting with the right audience on its head. Initially, Facebook's advertising capabilities limited marketers to just display advertising that was served based on Facebook profile data.
Affiliate Marketing is expected to be a $6.8 billion industry by the year 2020, according to reports. This lucrative type of marketing connects customers through a bridge of bloggers and website owners who either by influence or sheer educational tactics convince a visitor to either purchase a product from a third party vendor, fill out a lead form, or take another type of action such as make a phone call requesting more information.
Google rolling out the real-time SEO update is only a matter of time now. Back in 2015, when the rumor first hit the industry, many SEOs squinched their eyebrows. Some of them have been strategizing ever since the announcement. So what next?
Today, our dear blog readers, I have the pleasure of sharing my interview with Heather Lloyd-Martin: CEO of seocopywriting.com, a "pioneer of SEO copywriting" (as described by Forbes), an international speaker, book author, SEO Copywriting Certification developer, one of the top women in SEO of our time and overall a lovely person who enjoys helping her clients (among whom are a number of Fortune 500 companies) boost their search positions and improve conversions.
You no longer need a Google+ account to Google Review a local business. How does this change your marketing strategy? What can you do to harness this recent change to rank higher in SERPs? David Sawyer provides a formula to get more users to your page and business thanks to Google Review.
To provide the most precise answers to a user's query in the shortest amount of time, Google constantly develops and updates its algorithms. And its first page inevitably undergoes changes. "Blue links" SERPs are becoming a thing of the past, as the results pages becoming enriched with new elements and ways to present information. To stay competitive, a website owner should carefully track all these changes, analyze them, and adapt their online strategies to Google's modifications.
Because users spend more time on mobile than on desktop, it's imperative to reach them in that medium. The current approach to mobile marketing is to assume it's just another channel for existing advertisements. As a result, there is a deluge of ads, which is just not what people want – the addition of ad blockers in recent iOS and OSX systems renders them less effective. Instead, consumers want personalized content that solves a problem or makes them laugh.
Detailed and highly customized proposals have been a big factor in my agency's success since I was a one-man operation back in 2001. A well thought out, custom proposal can bring in high-value clients you actually want to work with.The problem is, a great proposal can require serious time and effort to compile. Back in the day when I was doing these by myself (in addition to many other things) a good proposal would easily take 6-12 solid hours.

The Portland Building has a colorful history (it's where the statue of Portlandia lives). The city of Portland put out a Request for Proposal (RFP) in fall 2015 for a $195 million renovation.
I was contacted by a local construction consulting firm to help rewrite and edit a proposal. In one day. Working alongside the project's primary editor, I served as the critical second set of eyes for accuracy, and by 10:30 p.m. (!), I was also writing and serving as the primary editor for some sections of the proposal. The project was submitted on time, but my client did not win the bid.
This project is in my portfolio because I have experience quickly learning RFP requirements and writing/editing/error-checking a proposal that you can submit with confidence. A major part of my branding is, "you know your brand better than anyone else," so if you feel you're the right firm for governmental project, then I'm the right writer/editor for your project.

Scleroderma is a diffuse connective tissue disease characterized by changes in the skin, blood vessels, skeletal muscles, and internal organs.
The cause of scleroderma is unknown. The disease may produce local or systemic symptoms. The course and severity of the disease varies widely in those affected.
Excess collagen deposits in the skin and other organs produce the symptoms. Damage to small blood vessels within the skin and affected organs also occurs. In the skin, ulceration, calcification, and changes in pigmentation may occur.
Systemic features may include fibrosis and degeneration of the heart, lungs, kidneys and gastrointestinal tract.
The disease usually affects people 30 to 50 years old. Women are affected more often than men. Risk factors are occupational exposure to silica dust and polyvinyl chloride.
Examination of the skin may show tightness, thickening, and hardening.
The rheumatoid factor can be elevated.
An antinuclear antibody test is usually positive.
Urinalysis can show protein and microscopic blood.
A chest X-ray may show fibrosis.
Pulmonary function studies often show restrictive lung disease.
A skin biopsy may also be performed.
See scleroderma - support group.
In the majority of those affected, the disease is progressive. In some, remission occurs with a slow progression. People who only have skin involvement have a better prognosis (probable outcome). Death may occur from gastrointestinal, cardiac, kidney, or pulmonary (lung) involvement.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if symptoms of this disorder are present, or if you have scleroderma and symptoms become worse, or if new symptoms develop.
There is no known prevention. Minimize exposure to silica dust and polyvinyl chloride.

Robert Hyde | 7th January 2020 | 168 views
Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker remains at the top on the global box office and with no new entries inside the top 5 for the new year the rest of the movie just move around a little.
As the new year starts the new Star Wars movie stays at the top of the global box office with a weekend gross of $84.2 Million from 54 countries.
The film is getting close to the $1 Billion mark and this week its total sits at $918.7 Million after 3 weeks meaning it will most likely get there by next weekend.
The film has clearly been a massive hit for the franchise, but it will most likely end up the lowest grossing of the sequel trilogy.
The Dwayne Johnson and Jack Black starring sequel remains at number 2 this week with $68.9 Million from 65 countries.
This pushes the films total gross to $610.2 Million after 5 weeks of release.

Kim Yoo Jung To Take Temporary Break From Activities Due To Health Problems
Updated February 26 KST:
Kim Yoo Jung's agency has provided more details on her health.
Through an official press release, SidusHQ revealed that she has been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone.
Regarding her upcoming drama "Clean with Passion for Now" (literal title), the agency shared, "After much discussion with the production team, we have made the decision to focus on treatment for now. As it is a project that she has prepared hard for with much affection and passion, she will return to filming once she has recovered."
The agency concluded, "We thank the drama staff that understood the actress's health as the priority and adjusted the schedule in consideration. We also apologize to many people that have been waiting for the drama. Please give lots of support and encouragement so that she can greet you again in good health."
"Clean with Passion for Now" was originally scheduled to begin airing in April via JTBC.
Kim Yoo Jung will be focusing on her health for the time being.
On February 26, a news outlet reported that the actress will be receiving thyroid surgery and taking a break to recover.
In response, a source from her agency commented, "Kim Yoo Jung went to the hospital due to exhaustion and lack of physical strength. It was discovered that there is a problem with her thyroid function."
The agency added, "It is not at the level to receive surgery, but she will focus on recovering her health while receiving treatment."
A source from her upcoming drama "Clean with Passion for Now" (literal title) also commented, "We have heard the news about Kim Yoo Jung's health, and we are currently checking regarding the drama."

Gairynzvl risked everything to escape his captivity in the darkness, including committing an act of treason against the Reviled. Yet, in spite of the dangers involved and the very great risk of sparking full-scale war with the Reviled, Gairynzvl has an irrepressible need to go back into the darkness to rescue as many of the childfey trapped there as he can find. The success of his plan will hinge upon more than courage and military strategy; it will call upon the unique skills and magic of each individual who chooses to join his band of Liberators, and it will require a level of dependence upon each other for which few of them are prepared. Their actions will test all of their limits, could easily divide loyalties, and will shake the foundations of everything The Fey of The Light have accepted as truth for thousands of years.
Slipping into the darkness through darkness is easy. Escaping out again with terrified childfey is another matter, but if they are captured by the Reviled, the band of Liberators will pray for death long before it comes. The risks are enormous and the possibility for success is doubtful, but the compulsion to do what is right and what is necessary is too great to ignore.
Inspired in part by the true-life events of the Lord's Resistance Army or LRA, a rebel militant group in Uganda that commonly abducts children and forces them to commit horrifying acts of violence against each other and their own people in combat, Standing in Shadows reaches deeper into the darkness, but never strays entirely out of the Light. Relating a tale of both fear and hope, the story allows readers to share Gairynzvl's journey into a restored life; his challenges in making new friends and forging alliances, and the struggle to trust, rather than fear, those around him.

The light uses LEDs that require just 12 watts of power to run. These 12 watts are enough to provide the equivalent light of a 100W incandescent lightbulb. Where other LED lights use a heat sink to dissipate heat, this one has a unique style that has been designed to run 20 degrees F cooler meaning that the heat sink is not needed.
Comparing the lamp to other types, the details in the image below are for 30,000 hours of usage. The costs show how much electricity is needed to run them for 30,000 hours which makes LEDs the clear winner.
The team has also selected the right LEDs to make the light look as you are used to. When using some LED lights you often see a more blue tint to the light. These aim to be closer to incandescent with a 3500k neutral white with some warmth.
Overall, an impressive project. I have to admit that the design is rather unique and different to what I normally see, but for the cost savings, I could get used to it.
The project only has a few more days on Kickstarter. It has by far surpassed its goal of $20,000 and is now at $242,954. Full details here.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a report today which shows a decrease in premiums of approximately 1.5% for the second lowest cost silver plans in the states operating on the federally facilitated marketplace. You can see CMS's press release and the state-by-state chart showing what the premiums are in each state.
EDITORIAL NOTE: It should be noted that the uncertainty last year regarding the ACA's future and the cost-sharing reduction payments to insurers caused many insurers to significantly increase their premiums for 2018. Looking at the overall increase from 2017 to 2019 shows an increase of nearly 35%. Any decrease this year can be explained as a simple market correction to last year's excessive increase.

The Story of Odysseus
DESIGN/WATCHES
by Blake Rong
A new watch series from A. Lange & Söhne arrives like a comet: rare, earth-shattering, graceful, and impossible to ignore. The adventurously named Odysseus—five years in the making—represents brand-new territory for the venerable brand: Its first sports watch is a seemingly inconsequential array of brand firsts that add up to more than the sum of its parts. Is it a compelling entry? Or is it too little, too late?
To understand that sort of significance, it's worth reflecting what makes A. Lange & Söhne so special. In its modern state, it has only been around since 1994—a time when the industry didn't know its place for mechanical timepieces, much less the highest-end of watchmaking. In just two decades, A. Lange & Söhne transformed the idea of haute horology with high-end precision, unwavering consistency, and the adoption of a German watchmaking identity all its own. A German company, exemplifying precision? You don't say—but how many connoisseurs at the time could remember Glashutte, eastern Germany, closer to the Czech Republic than Switzerland, as one of the historic temples of watchmaking?
"The idea of the watch which you can wear in a more casual environment is almost as old as the company," said Wilhelm Schmid, CEO of A. Lange and Söhne, "even [legendary watch entrepreneur] Günter Blümlein had the idea. The watch had no real vision or idea how to execute it. We then took it more seriously again, and by 2014 we had a good idea on how the idea should look like, and how the family should look like, because it's only the first kind within that watch family. The rest is history. We launched six weeks ago."
The Odysseus by A.Lange & Søhne. Photo courtesy of A.Lange & Søhne.
A. Lange & Söhne watches usually feature precious metals, colored golds or platinums, oversized date windows with mechanical complications, and some form of crocodile leather band. The lettering is uniform, the case shapes are nearly identical, and the baton hands are thin and delicate. Occasionally the dial erupts into concentric circles, such as on the Richard Lange, and sometimes there is a tourbillon involved—and expect to pay dearly for that privilege. These are almost always dress watches: minimal and austere, yet immediately recognizable.
The Odysseus does away with nearly all of this. For starters, its 40.5mm-wide case is asymmetrical, with an interplay of raised, brushed, and polished metalwork for the date pushers, surrounding the screw-down crown—another first for the brand, which has never before rated a watch to 120 meters of water resistance. The case and its integrated bracelet are rendered in stainless steel. The hands and indices receive Super-LumiNova. That fully integrated bracelet, by the way, is intricately rendered: Across its five links the surfaces are brushed, while the chamfered edges are polished. The L155.1 DATOMATIC in-house caliber is based on the brand's other automatics but reinforced for robustness. With the same dreamy level of finishing it features 31 jewels, 50 hours of power reserve, and a skeletal rotor with platinum elements, blued screw heads, and a weighty brushed look as if it was hauled off a steam train.
"The Odysseus is a watch for literally your best time of the year," said Schmid. "Your free time, your casual time. When you are without a schedule. when you don't know what's happening next because you can swim in the ocean or play with your children."
Sports watches aren't necessarily dive watches, nor are they known for sports timing, though certainly the well-known kings of the genre can be had as chronographs. Rather, they are ready for anything: A morning on the slopes might end with an evening on a yacht, a day of sailing into a gala with the CEO and a bevy of supermodels, or any other sybaritic fantasies. They are reassuringly hefty, water-resistant, and crafted from steel. The most famous dive watches were always intended as tools, but these are too luxurious for such military-issue considerations.
Perhaps it's this blend of cachet and ruggedness, this promise of both adventure and adventurous design that has netted such high-end popularity among these timepieces. At the core of this foray into ruggedness is still haute horology: the fine movement finishing and steel casework that comes with its lofty price tag. The Odysseus—whose name conjures long voyages of Homeric importance, where anything can and will happen—joins some splendid company.
"In the category, you have your Rolexes, you have your Daytonas, GMTs, Subs, Sea-Dwellers," said James Lamdin, founder of the watch retailer Analog/Shift. "In the Patek Philippe world, it's dominated by the Nautilus and the Aquanaut. Another contender would be the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. They've become more popular…it's no longer six people on the Internet geeking out about these things, nor is it the provenance of the luxury elite consumer. A lot of different tastes are beginning to weigh in…
The Odysseus by A.Lange & Søhne.Photo courtesy of A.Lange & Søhne.
Analog/Shift tends to specialize in Rolexes and Omega Speedmasters, and when a Patek Philippe Nautilus comes in, it doesn't last long on the site. Lamdin passes through a lot of watches in his hands. "Having handled the watch, it's an attractive watch in the metal, and it wears very well," he said. But, he suggested, maybe the engineers and designers at Lange overthought the whole thing: "All they needed to do was to make a steel entry, was to make one of their legacy watches in steel," said Lamdin. "For example: the Lange 1. If they produced that in steel there'd be a line down the street."
It may be unsurprising that Schmid thinks differently. "Quite frankly, we could have made our lives a lot easier by choosing one watch out of every product family," said Schmid, "put that into a waterproof steel case, and called it a day. Or we could've taken a movement like the Saxonia and put that into a steel case and called it a day. That would have been a shortcut. But that's not what we're known for. That's why we developed a movement specifically for this watch."
But maybe that's what the brand would have needed. After all, its cachet is there. Even with its polarizing styling, Odysseus is groundbreaking not just for its manufacturer, but also in such elevated company: Having been around since the Seventies, the Nautilus and Royal Oak have seen few watches—the IWC Ingenieur and the Piaget Polo, namely—compete with its integrated-bracelet, sport-luxury aesthetic. Leave it to A. Lange & Söhne to put its own spin on it.

Ray Gricar mystery: State police to take over case of missing Centre County DA
Updated: Feb. 11, 2014, 2:20 p.m. |
Anna Orso | aorso@pennlive.com
As the 10-year anniversary of Ray Gricar's disappearance inches closer, yet public intrigue remains, PA State Police have announced they'll be taking over the oversight of the investigation.
State police spokesman Jeff Petucci confirmed that State police will be "assuming the role as the lead agency" in the investigation into the disappearance of Gricar, the Centre County district attorney who vanished in April 2005. Prior to State police taking over the case, the investigation and tips were handled by Bellefonte police, as well as a task force of officers convened by now-Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller in 2010.
Unsolved mysteries:
The handing over of the case to State Police comes at an interesting time, as
investigators said in 2012
that "State police didn't want the case,"and there had never been a successful argument for handing the case to a higher authority, such as state police or a grand jury.
The change to State police has been in the works since November, and the case will now be handled by the Hollidaysburg-based Troop G, which handles major cases. Officers from both the Rockview and Lewistown barracks will investigate, as well. Petucci said State police will continue to work with members of the task force in Centre County.
Gricar, 59 at the time, disappeared on April 15, 2005. His red Mini Cooper was found abandoned in Lewisburg and his laptop and hard drive were found in the Susquehanna River. Four years later, police revealed that searches on his home computer for "how to fry a hard drive" and "water damage to a notebook computer" had been discovered.
Ray Gricar mystery: DA's privacy adds to intrigue surrounding his disappearance (April 15, 2012)
Since then, there haven't been credible leads coming in. But, though Gricar was declared legally dead in July 2011, there's been a renewed interest in his disappearance since the it became clear the DA played a role in deciding not to prosecute Jerry Sandusky in 1998 after a child sex abuse complaint was made against him.
It took about a decade for the former defensive coordinator to be investigated again for child sexual abuse. Sandusky is now serving out a 30- to 60-year prison sentence for molesting 10 boys on the Penn State campus and in his State College home.
Every now and then, a new lead pops up in the Gricar case and is publicized, sending central Pennsylvania into a frenzy of theories. There were "sightings" in Utah and Texas. Some hypothesized that he was lured to the river by a mistress, or killed by the woman's husband. Last September, an alleged former member of Hell's Angels told police Gricar was murdered by the gang as a retaliatory offense.
But now, in addition to a task force in Bellefonte poring through every twist and turn, State police will be getting their hands dirty.
Any tips regarding the Gricar case should be directed to the State police tip line: 800-472-8477.
This post was updated to include additional information from Jeff Petucci.


Have a Designated Work Area- If at all possible! This should not be the kitchen nor dining room table.
Set your work hours 8-5, 9-5, whatever is best for you, and keep a clock in your office.
Dress for work! You don't need a tie or a suit or heels, but don't start your work day in your PJs.
Leave the house work for 'after work'. Don't decide to do some laundry just as you're about to tackle a project that you would just as soon put off!
Take breaks, just as you would 'at your office' and use that time to do some of that housework, or take a quick lap outside. BUT, be sure your breaks are for a designated time period.
Take a lunch break for a designated time. If you need to, use this time to run errands just as you would if you worked in a traditional office.
Keep the space clean! Empty the trash at the end of the day, remove all cups, mugs, dishes etc. You'll be more productive if you start each day with a clean work area.
If part of your job is visiting clients to make sales calls, keep track of your time – don't get caught in the mindset of , 'well I made a sales call, now I can go look for those shoes I've been wanting'. Do your shopping on your 'lunch hour'.
When making telephone calls to clients, be aware of noises in the house from pets, children, lawn mowers, washing machines, etc. There is nothing wrong with working from home, but out of consideration for your client and your own professionalism, be sure you are in a room with a closed door if there's the possibility of outside disturbances.
Keep lists! There's nothing worse to throw off your schedule than sitting down to get started and learning you don't have another print cartridge or you need stamps, or you're completely out of paper for your printer, and on and on. Your list should include any item that you have ONE MORE OF. Don't wait until you run out of an item, buy it before you need it. An idea that works for many is to keep the list on your cell phone, so it is always with you.
It's important to remember that working from your home is a legitimate endeavor!

Official website for champion endurance athlete and mom, Sari Anderson
Sari began her athletic career as the only girl playing hockey with the boys growing up in Rhode Island. After moving to Colorado for college she quickly fell in love with the mountains—skiing, trail running and mountain biking at every opportunity. Sari started racing as a pro mountain biker just two years after her first race, while winning local trail running races along the way. With her multi-sport talents, Sari was soon spotted by legendary adventure racer Mike Kloser who asked her to join his Team Nike. Sari claimed numerous wins with the team, including the adventure racing world championships in 2006.
In June of 2007, Sari and her husband Ian added a new athlete to the family, a little girl named Juniper. Less than five months after giving birth, Sari was back to racing with a second place finish at the Abu Dhabi Adventure Challenge. She went on to win the Winter Xterra World Championship in March of 2008 and then the US Mountain Bike Marathon National Championships in July. In 2011, Outside Magazine named Sari one of the country's "Fittest Real Athletes."
In the spring of 2010, Sari had another baby, this time a little boy named Axel. Just six months later, Sari claimed another national championship, this time as part of a mixed duo team at the 24 Hours of Moab mountain bike race. Read more about her return to form here.
Sari and her family live in Carbondale, Colorado, just down the road from Aspen. In the winter, she spends her time ski mountaineering, winning the national championships in January 2012, and in the summer she continues to race mountain bikes and compete in multi-sport events like the Ultimate Mountain Challenge.
Sari hopes to be an inspiration to other women, proving moms can race at the highest levels while successfully balancing a family and a job. Sari was recently named one of Colorado's "Resident Badasses" by Elevation Outdoors Magazine.

I'm actually going to be volunteering for the festival and donating some large sustainable arrangements (I'll post the photos this week). I'll also be checking out new ideas I can use in my business and in my life (my husband wants to get a small wind turbine for our front yard... in Oakland) and making connections with other green-minded folks. One connection I've already made is going to be there, and I look forward to seeing their hemp silk bridal attire at a fashion show Friday and Saturday night. They're called Conscious Clothing and you can check out there stuff here: www.getconscious.com Here are some beautiful examples of the things they can do. What I like, is that they do custom designs.
Here is the dress with all the layers, but you can unzip the last three and make it shorter.
I love the low back and silk ruffles of this dress.
So if your in or around the Bay, definitely come check out the SF Green Festival this coming weekend.

A Dallas Stars Sale Update/Non-Update from the 2011 NHL All-Star Game
The sale of the Dallas Stars is moving along just fine, according to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.
While speaking to reporters during the Saturday night festivities at the NHL All-Star weekend, Bettman was asked about the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes and noted that the sale is progressing.
Bettman then addressed the Stars situation, saying that the NHL is not in control of the team, unlike the Coyotes. He then added that there are "about half a dozen interested parties" looking to purchase the Stars. He described the sale, as a normal "orderly sales process."
Who would you like to see own the Stars? Do you care? Does the Stars sale give you tired-head?

We don't really know who the potential buyers are. 3 have been named previously, but as far as we know they are all out of it now. I don't think stars fan care who the owner is as long as he wants to win and will bring some enthusiasm and money to the team.

In a warm bowl dissolve yeast and sugar in 1 cup of warm water. Let stand 5-10 minutes until frothy. Mix in 1/2 cup flour and let rise 20-30 minutes.
In the large warmed bowl of an electric mixer, place 1 3/4 cup of warm water, salt and oil. Add yeast mixture and beat in 1 cup at a time, 6 cups of the flour, mixing well.
If using mixer with a dough hook, attach hook and beat on low speed, adding the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough leaves sides of bowl and clings to the hook. Beat on low speed for 7-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
If dough hook is not available, add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to make a soft dough. Turn onto a floured board and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 20 minutes.
Remove to a floured board and knead 2 minutes, shaping into a round.
Place dough into a large, greased, warmed bowl. Turn to coat all sides. Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until double.
Punch down and divide in two. Shape loaves and place in greased 9 x 4-1/2 inch loaf pans.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until double. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove from oven. Place a towel under a cooling rack to absorb moisture. Remove breads from pans and place on the rack on their sides.

A collaborative research team at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine has developed a potential treatment strategy for Alport syndrome, a rare genetic condition characterized by kidney disease, hearing loss, and eye abnormalities.

"Our team identified high levels of a protein called osteopontin in the renal tubules of laboratory 'Alport' mice, causing extensive cholesterol accumulation and other metabolic problems," said Lina Shehadeh, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Medicine's Division of Cardiology and the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute (ISCI). "Our prior studies have shown that reducing osteopontin can ameliorate the severity of cardiovascular disease, and this new study aimed to investigate for the first time the role of osteopontin in Alport syndrome."
Shehadeh is senior author of the study, "Osteopontin Deficiency Ameliorates Alport Pathology by Preventing Tubular Metabolic Deficits," published in the journal, JCI Insight, on March 22. Wen Ding, Ph.D., former doctoral student of pharmacology at Shehadeh's lab, now doing her postdoctoral training at Yale School of Medicine, is first author, and Keyvan Yousefi, Pharm.D., a current doctoral student of pharmacology in the Shehadeh lab, is second author. Other Miller School co-authors were Alfonso Sabater, M.D., Ph.D., Bradley Goldstein, M.D., Ph.D., Armando Mendez, Ph.D., Stefania Goncalves, M.D., Guerline Lambert, M.S., Portia Ritter, M.S., and Amy Kloosterboer.
Noting that her students did "a phenomenal job" on this study, Shehadeh added, "The rich environment at the Miller School and ISCI enabled this research. Because patients with Alport syndrome have hearing and visual deficits, and also cholesterol abnormalities, we collaborated with faculty from the Department of Otolaryngology, the Department of Ophthalmology, and the Diabetes Research Institute to assess the impact of reducing osteopontin as a potential therapeutic strategy."
The Miller School researchers found that reducing osteopontin by genetic deletion can prevent kidney, vision, and hearing pathologies in the Alport mouse and could significantly extend its lifespan.
"We now have solid evidence that reducing osteopontin is therapeutic in various disease mouse models," Shehadeh said. "We are now testing several methods of pharmacological inhibition of osteopontin in the Alport mouse, such as using a monoclonal antibody against osteopontin that can be delivered by intravenous injections or small implanted pumps. The goal is to test a pharmacological reagent in mouse and then attempt to transfer this potential treatment to humans."
Shehadeh said she is grateful to the Miami Heart Research Institute for funding and enabling her work.

Sir Robert Sibbald (15 April 1641 – August 1722) was a Scottish physician and antiquary.
Robert Sibbald was born into a prosperous landed family in Fife. His father was David Sibbald (brother of Sir James Sibbald, Bt. Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland) of Rankeillor and his mother was Margaret Boyd (January 1606 – 10 July 1672) the daughter of Robert Boyd of Kipps in West Lothian. Sibbald's family lived first in Kipps but in 1645, to escape an outbreak of the plague, moved to the Sibbald's country home in Fife. Sibbald was educated at the Royal High School and in 1659 graduated MA and began to prepare for a career in the church. His theological studies only lasted six months before shifting his attention to medicine.
In March 1660, Sibbald set off to study at the University of Leiden. There he learned anatomy, surgery, botany, chemistry, and natural philosophy. Shortly after arriving in Leiden, Sibbald's father died and he was obliged to cut his medical studies short owing to financial strain. After only 18 months in Leiden, Sibbald moved to Paris to study for nine months. There he presented himself to be examined for 'his patent as Doctor' at Angers where fees were lower than Leiden. After graduating in 1662, he spent three months in London where he met Sir Robert Moray, president of the Royal Society.
Upon returning to Scotland, Sibbald set out to recreate the institutions he had encountered in Europe. Without such institutions, Sibbald believed Scotland would never be fit to take its place amongst the modern nations of Europe. He was a physician by profession and thus focused his attentions on founding institutions for the advancement of medicine.
In 1685 he was appointed the first professor of medicine at the University of Edinburgh. He was also appointed Geographer Royal in 1682, and his numerous and miscellaneous writings deal with historical, antiquarian, botanical and medical subjects. He based many of his cartographical studies on the work of Timothy Pont. Sibbald and his cousin, Andrew Balfour, were key figures in the creation of the Edinburgh Pharmacopoeia.
The wild flower Sibbaldia procumbens is named after him.
Throughout his life, Sibbald concerned himself not only with medicine, but also with the improvement of agriculture, mining, industry and commerce. He is buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh in a vault against the southern wall.
Sibbald's first project for improvement of Scotland was the creation of a physic garden to rival the King's Garden in Paris where he had studied botany in 1661. He enlisted the help of his cousin, Andrew Balfour and Patrick Moray, a prosperous landowner and well-known plant collector. In 1667, they created a garden near Holyrood Abbey and within a short time the garden contained over 800 medicinal plants.
Sibbald gained the financial support of the Town Council, the Town's College and the Faculty of Advocates. The garden was fully established by 1670 and in 1699 received a royal warrant.
The purpose of the garden was to supply fresh plants for medical prescriptions and to teach medical botany to students. The garden was looked after by James Sutherland who later became the Professor of Botany in the Town's College. In 1676, Balfour leased from the Town Council a second garden which belonged to the Trinity Hospital. The site of this garden can be found by platform 11 in Edinburgh Waverley Station, where there is a commemorative plaque. In 1763 the garden moved to an expanded site near Gayfield Square.
After years of expansion and development Sibbald's garden moved to its present site at Inverleith Row in 1820. The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is the second oldest in Britain.
One of the concepts that made up Sibbald's grand design for the advancement of Scotland was the foundation of a College of Physicians. As a student, Sibbald admired the medical colleges in Europe, which had been given the authority to license their graduates to practise medicine. In Scotland, it had long been the practise to go abroad to receive medical training, though there were no medical universities within Scotland to license practitioners.
Earlier attempts had been made to receive a royal charter to found a College of Physicians, though all had failed. Sibbald began holding meetings in 1680. A Royal Charter was signed on St Andrew's Day in 1681 and the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh was founded.
The blue whale was originally named after Sibbald, who first described it scientifically.
Although the blue whale is today usually classified as one of eight species in the genus Balaenoptera, one authority still places it in a separate monotypic genus, Sibbaldus, but this is not widely accepted.
The blue whale was once commonly referred to as Sibbald's rorqual.

Institute on Development & Disability
Disability affects a growing segment of the population of the United States and around the world, in part because the populations of the globe have enjoyed increasing age and decreasing infant mortality (Andresen, Cannell, Akhtar, & Barney, 2010). Public health professionals often have very little exposure to this increasing demographic group in our population during graduate training. With disability prevalence across surveys indicating some 20% of Americans with a disabling condition that limits activities, the health of this heterogeneous group must be included in the public health agenda and as part of public health education.

Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's decision of not celebrating her birthday after the tragedy in Kolkata was not relayed to party workers in Mumbai.
The Goregaon wing of the state party organised a celebration at a bar on Film City road, where party workers danced to raunchy Bollywood item numbers.
Former Mumbai Congress chief, Union Home Minister Gurudas Kamat and Congress MLA Raj Hans Singh were at the party. Mumbai Congress spokesperson Nizamuddin Rayeen told Sunday MiD DAY that he heard about the incident and will initiate an enquiry after looking at a video of the party.

The remarkable story of an ordinary man who was transformed when a traumatic injury left him with an extraordinary gift No one sees the world as Jason Padgett does. Water pours from the faucet in crystalline patterns, numbers call to mind distinct geometric shapes, and intricate fractal patterns emerge from the movement of tree branches, revealing the intrinsic mathematical designs hidden in the objects around us.
Yet Padgett wasn't born this way. Twelve years ago, he had never made it past pre-algebra. But a violent mugging forever altered the way his brain works, giving him unique gifts. His ability to understand math and physics skyrocketed, and he developed the astonishing ability to draw the complex geometric shapes he saw everywhere. His stunning, mathematically precise artwork illustrates his intuitive understanding of complex mathematics.
The first documented case of acquired savant syndrome with mathematical synesthesia, Padgett is a medical marvel. Struck by Genius recounts how he overcame huge setbacks and embraced his new mind. Along the way he fell in love, found joy in numbers, and spent plenty of time having his head examined. Like Born on a Blue Day and My Stroke of Insight , his singular story reveals the wondrous potential of the human brain.
