Kicksend Releases An Android App For Sharing All Your Photos, Videos, and More

Last December, file-sharing startup Kicksend went mobile, with an iPhone app designed to enable easy sharing of photos and videos that are captured from your mobile device. Now, six months later, the startup is taking that same functionality and making it available to Android users as well.

The startup has a web application at kicksend.com that lets users connect to all their files online. It also has access through a desktop app for Mac users, and an app for iPhone users as well. And now it'll be available on Android as well.

Anxiety Disorder Symptoms | health article

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety disorders affect about 40 million American adults each year. Anxiety disorders may affect the quality of your lifestyle and are capable of completely destroying your life if not treated immediately.There is a term i would like to mention and it is Generalized anxiety.Generalized anxiety disorder is one of the common anxiety disorders. There is relief for sufferers.Generalized Anxiety Disorder symptoms are commonly treated with medication or cognitive-behavioral therapy. Several drugs are used to treat anxiety disorder symptoms and antidepressants.People who suffer from general anxiety disorder symptoms suffer from continual worry and tension that is much worse than the anxiety most of people experience from time to time.

When one feels that he or she is affected by anxiety, you can visit a general physician. He or she will first want to identify any physical or psychiatric problem that may be causing the anxiety. Here is where the role of the Anxiety disorder symptoms comes in, for after this your general physician will ask you questions about the various symptoms you experience and examine you. Then depending on your condition and the intensity of the disorder your general physician may refer you to a psychiatrist for further help.When someone is experiencing an anxiety attack, they are left feeling scared, confused, and distressed when it is over. However, it is important to realize that quite a number of people experience anxiety disorder symptoms everyday. And although the symptoms are not based upon any particular place or event, when someone does go through a panic attack, they tend to make a direct association between their symptoms and the place or surroundings where the attack occurred.

Does your anxiety interfere with your work, school, or family responsibilities? Are you constantly tense, worried, or on edge? Do you believe that something bad will happen if certain things aren?t done a certain way? Are you plagued by fears that you know are irrational, but can?t shake off? Have you ended a relationship with a friend or family member based on an irrational worry? Do you avoid everyday situations or activities because they make you anxious?Untreated, panic attack and other anxiety disorder symptom can continue for many years. Effective treatment can only come from accurately identifying the triggers and anxiety disorder symptom being experienced. Lifestyle and behavioral changes, as well as intensive psychotherapy have proved quite effective in curing panic attacks. Medication is also recommended.

'Deadliest Catch' features dramatic airlift rescue

Discovery

The crabbing vessel Wizard on "Deadliest Catch."

By Randee Dawn

By calling it "Deadliest Catch," Discovery was obviously setting up audiences for some serious drama from the cast of its reality show about Alaskan king crabbing boats and their crews. But after revelations of drug usage and the shocking deaths of the captain and a new deckhand, it seemed like this show might have more drama than it could handle.?

Nope -- last night's show proved there's still plenty to offer from the high seas, as the episode picked up where it left off last week with harrowing footage of Wizard crew member Chris Scambler, who suddenly fell ill. The greenhorn had been struck down with shooting pains in his neck and arms, which quickly turned into convulsions. Without a doctor on the boat, he had to be airlifted by the Coast Guard to take him to an Alaskan hospital.

The story was reported last year by AP, but at the time the crewmember was not identified. The clip above reveals?that Scambler was the 28-year-old crewman referred to in the original story. Scrambler was reported to be suffering from dehydration and shock, and was eventually moved to Anchorage and stabilized.?

"I'm sorry," Chris said as he was being prepped for removal.?

"Don't be sorry, man, you did a great job for me," Capt. Keith Colburn told him. "All right?"

Ore. track coach takes student to prom, loses job

This March 9, 2011, photo shows Condon/Wheeler high school track and field coach Melissa Bowerman, 41, in Beaverton, Ore. Bowerman, the daughter-in-law of Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman, has been dismissed as a volunteer track coach at the small Eastern Oregon high school because she escorted a 17-year-old boy to last month's prom.

PENDLETON, Ore. (AP) ? The daughter-in-law of Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman has been dismissed as a volunteer track coach at a small Eastern Oregon high school because she escorted a 17-year-old boy to the prom.

Melissa Bowerman, 41, who had been coaching the Condon/Wheeler track and field team with her 73-year-old husband, Jon Bowerman, was ousted this month in a phone call from school officials.

"We started an investigation that led to us asking her to un-volunteer," Condon Superintendent Jan Zarate said. He declined to elaborate.

Melissa Bowerman said she went to last month's Condon High School prom with a boy from the track team because the boy felt bad about not having a date and had been struggling in English class.

"If they go on (academic) probation and suspension, then they can't go to the track meets," said Melissa Bowerman, who also has a son on the track team. "I said, 'OK, I will go with you, but we've got to talk about English first. You're going to do better in English."

Melissa Bowerman says attending the prom was an error in judgment, but she maintains she did not have an inappropriate relationship with the teen.

She said the two danced to a few slow songs but mostly played ping pong and foosball at the prom, the East Oregonian newspaper of Pendleton reported (http://is.gd/pBVR6a ).

Gilliam County Sheriff Gary Bettencourt, who received a complaint from a chaperone, said he has found no evidence that Melissa Bowerman broke the law.

The boy's father, meanwhile, said he gave Melissa Bowerman permission to take his son to the dance.

"The first thing I thought, 'Maybe this isn't a good idea.' But Melissa has been like a surrogate mom to these kids for years," Bob Thomas said.

Melissa Bowerman's late father-in-law is well-known among Oregon sports fans. Besides inventing the waffle-soled running shoe and co-founding Nike with Phil Knight, Bill Bowerman coached track at the University of Oregon from 1949 to 1972, winning four national titles. His relationship with track great Steve Prefontaine has been featured in two films.

The Condon/Wheeler track and field program has ballooned from six athletes to more than 30 in just four years under Melissa and Jon Bowermans' watch, and the girls' team won its first state title Saturday.

As the team prepared to depart for the state track meet last week, Condon athletic director Ron Kopp told the Bowermans that Melissa would not be allowed to ride on the team's charter bus with the athletes. With the bus only half full, parents have historically accompanied their sons and daughters for the ride.

Jon Bowerman said he might resign because of the situation, and possibly sell his family's ranch near Fossil.

"The only thing we've done wrong is build them a new track and get uniforms and build them a powerhouse program," he said. "If she doesn't come back, I'm not coming back."

Sports nutrition supplements - Sports Nutrition Supplements, Are The Myths True?

Training supplements have present for a long time, and have become much more popular during the years. There are however numerous incorrect theories that some people have regarding supplements and there uses. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, although more often than not these viewpoints are the product of false reports or word of mouth from individuals who have either been using the incorrect supplement for its purpose or have failed to follow an adequate nutrition and exercise plan with it. There are quite a few supplement myths that exist in the health and fitness realm, no matter what regarding the volume of analyse that has been performed to confirm they are untrue. If the suitable supplements taken with an adequate exercise routine and a well-balanced diet, then they can perform a big job in supporting greater amounts of or missing nutrients to support you reach your goals.

During this article, we will take into consideration some of the most heard about fabrications that have been suggested during the past few years and argue the truthfulness of each. After this, you can make your own mind up, however, always try and do your own research first when looking to buy a supplement and base your conclusion upon the points you learn.

Myth: You Are Wasting Your Money on Supplements

This theory often comes into play from people who have history taking supplements, or those who are employed in the health and fitness business and have endorsed supplements in the past, without either noticing the presumed gains or outcomes they were hoping to see. This may be truthful for an individual supplement, or more often than not mean the individual was not having the right supplement to complement their end goal or were forgetting other features of their diet and training. It is straightforward to blame failure on a product, which can lead people into not trusting supplements all together. This can be extremely misinforming, supplements are not magic pills, and those that promise amazing gains in brief periods of time are just merely attempting to market themselves, this does not however signify they will not play a part in your nutrition and training routine.

Training Supplements - People's opinions can also have a part to this, if a person negatively reviews a supplement, then another person is likely to to do similar even without having tested it. Again, other factors could be involved, and what brings positive results or does seem beneficial for one may result in the opposite impact on another. That individuals nutrition and exercise routine might be entirely unalike to start with, to put it plainly, you should not dismiss it without trying it. Supplements are by no means a waste of cash and do play a job in supporting you in completing your end objectives. You just need to make sure you understand what you final goals are prior to beginning consuming any variant of supplementation, your nutrition and training is more than decent, and you perform your own research first. Supplement manufacturers design scientifically followed by testing their supplements prior to release which enables them to ensure they can achieve the role they are produced to do.

Myth: You Can Neglect Your Diet When Using Supplements

Sports supplements must forever compliment diet and exercise, not the opposite around. If you believe you are not obliged to eat adequate protein from whole foods during the day as you have had your couple of protein shakes, or believing you do not require your optimum levels of fruit and vegetables because you have been taking a multi vitamin supplement, is amiss. Making sure your diet and nutrition is adequate before beginning any physical activity regime is vitally significant. You should not even look at supplements beforehand. It can be likewise with fat burning products, there are those who think if they are taking a fat burner then they are permitted eat as much fat as they want. Sorry to say, that is not how it works, recall, supplements only compliment or strengthen your diet, they are not a substitute for it.

Myth: Supplements Mean You Can Neglect Your Training

Supplement Store - Similar to the above, with training, some people believe supplements will bring benefits without the need for exercise. As stated supplements are manufactured to bolster training and exercise, and more than often enhance it, attained either by supplying you with greater energy to work out, or by permitting you to recover and repair {in less time|faster|quicker]. You still have to supply the determination and will power in to see the coveted gains. The notorious phrase no pain no gain is most definitely correct. It has been known for people to follow an exercise regime, and then slack on the nutritional side whilst carrying on with taking their supplements (more than likely because this is the least difficult bit of the regime to perform). They then think they are chucking their money away as their supplements are not doing the job or find themselves gaining fat because they are taking in extra calories whilst not completing enough physical activity to shift them.

Myth: What Works For Them Will Work For You

There is no truth in this statement at all. Every single person is different, and even if two individuals consume the same food and do precisely the same training, more elements will play a part in their results. Efficient rest, day to day activity levels, and genetics all have an influence in the gains and results people will notice. Never assume that if one supplement did not produce any gains for somebody else, even if the most rigorous nutrition and fitness regime was kept to, it will not lead to gains for you.

Upcoming Event: 2nd Annual AmeriCan Canned ... - The Brew Bros

The 2^nd Annual Amer?i?Can Canned Beer Fes?ti?val is only a few short days away. We here at the Brew Bros have been count?ing down the days for this event. After all, last year was an absolute blast (for last year?s details, go here). There are sev?eral rea?sons we are look?ing for?ward to the fes?ti?val with excited antic?i?pa?tion this?year.

One of the great things about the fes?ti?val is that it is not just a party. There is also a focus on rais?ing aware?ness for cans as a?legit?i?mate pack?age for craft beer. 10 years ago there weren?t many craft brew?ers that sold their beer in cans due to the stigma the large macro brew?eries have cre?ated, now there are 184 (thanks to the data from Craft Cans) who pack?age their beer in cans. Many peo?ple walk into a liquor store and see sev?eral brew?eries can?ning but are?hes?i?tant?to make the pur?chase due to their view on the drink?ing ves?sel. By host?ing a fes?ti?val with only canned beer, it gives the pub?lic a chance to dis?cover that they have actu?ally been miss?ing?out.

To that point, the fes?ti?val goes a bit fur?ther by offer?ing beers that are not avail?able to the state of Ari?zona. Granted Ari?zona has a sig?nif?i?cant num?ber of brew?eries that can (7 of them) and has a huge selec?tion as it is, but bring?ing in beers from out?side of the dis?tri?b?u?tion area is bril?liant. Last year, we had an oppor?tu?nity to try sev?eral great beers from brew?eries like Maui (now avail?able in AZ), Bohemian and 21^st?Amend?ment. Some brew?eries that were not in atten?dance last year, but will be there this year include: 7 Seven Seas Brew?ing out of Seat?tle, WA; NOLA out of New Orleans, LA; and Uncom?mon Brew?ers out of Santa Cruz,?CA.

Before you attend the fes?ti?val, we rec?om?mend tak?ing a look at which brew?ers won medals in this years com?pe?ti?tion and be sure to plan on sam?pling those early. The judg?ing took place Sat?ur?day, May 12^th (we were for?tu?nate to be involved in the judg?ing process) and Ari?zona brought home sev?eral medals in dif?fer?ent cat?e?gories. Take a look at the win?ners here.

As far as enter?tain?ment goes, this fes?ti?val will have it all. Reel Big Fish and 2 Toned Lizard Kings will be there as well as other local acts. The Ari?zona Soci?ety of Home?brew?ers will also be there with some home?brew?ing demon?stra?tions. Also, this year will be the first year The Brew Bros will have a booth set up, so come by and say?hello!

If you haven?t picked up your tick?ets yet, do so as soon as pos?si?ble. We have a feel?ing this is going to be a fes?ti?val that you will not want to miss.?Prost!

Patrick

Patrick Schroeder has two rules: 1) Drink beer good peo?ple brew. Craft brew?ers brew for the love of their craft so give every beer a try. B) Never drink the sed?i?ment cake. Other than that, Patrick spends his time home brew?ing, spend?ing time with his fam?ily and tip?ping back a few pints with fel?low beer lovers. If you wish to con?tact him, send an email to patrick@thebrewbros.com. You can also find him on Twit?ter under the name beerguru14. Prost!

Report: Amazon planning front-lit Kindle e-reader for July, new tablet later this year

Certainly it's no great shocker that Amazon's got plans for a new e-reader and tablet later this year. Nor should anyone be particularly surprised at the prospect of a front-lit reader from the retail giant set to compete directly with the latest Nook offering. Reuters, however, claims to have some insight into both, courtesy of an anonymous source. Apparently the aforementioned reader is set for a July launch, arriving in the customary Wifi and 3G varieties. The tablet, meanwhile, is set for a release "closer to the holiday season," according to the source. Amazon, E Ink and the like naturally refused to comment on the matter.

Sign language translator turns gestures into spoken letters, makes for a better world (video)

By far one of the greatest challenges of sign language has been to translate it for everyday folk that wouldn't know where to begin a conversation with the deaf. Cornell University engineering students Ranjay Krishna, Seonwoo Lee and Si Ping Wang -- along with some help from Jonathan Lang -- used their final project time this past semester to close this gap in one of the more practical solutions we've seen to date. Their prototype glove uses accelerometers, contact sensors and flex sensors to translate complex finger gestures from the American Sign Language alphabet into spoken letters: after converting hand positions to digital signals, the test unit both speaks out the resulting letters and sends them to a computer, where they can be used for anything from a game (shown in the video below) to, presumably, constructing whole sentences. Along with being accurate, the Cornell work is even designed with a mind towards how it would work in the real world, as the glove and its transmitter are both wireless and powered by 9-volt batteries. We hope that the project leads to a real product and an extra bridge between the deaf and the rest of us, but in the meantime, we'll be happy that at least one form of powered glove is being put to the noblest use possible.

Verbatim Store 'n' Go Pro USB Flash Drive (64GB)

The more data you store, the more important it becomes that you have a way to keep private data private, even if your USB drive is borrowed, stolen, or lost. The Verbatim Store 'n' Go Pro USB Flash Drive (64GB) ($117 street) fits the bill exactly, providing 64GB of storage with password protection and 256-bit AES hardware data encryption. When smaller drives like the Editors' Choice Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ (8GB, $14 street, 4 stars) are simply too small to cut it, the Store 'n' Go Pro is the easy choice for sizable, secure storage.

Design
The Store 'n' Go Pro is a smaller USB drive, just made for keeping in your pocket. It's not as chunky as the Corsair Flash Voyager GT (32GB, $64.99 direct, 4 stars) or the Kingston DataTravler R500 (128GB, $200 street, 3.5 stars), measuring only 0.3 by 2.5 by 0.8 inches (HWD) and weighing a scant 0.32 ounce. Unlike these drives, which combine high-capacity storage with rugged construction to physically protect your storage, this is a much slimmer drive.

The drive is made of plastic and metal, but it's not the heavy plastic seen on the Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 Generation 2 (32GB, $80 street, 4 stars). The plastic shell mostly hides the metal inside, which can be seen along the sides of the drive and the lanyard loop at the back end of the drive. The USB plug retracts, requiring no cap, and a blue LED blinks and glows to tell you that the drive is on and connected.

Features and Performance
While the Store 'n' Go Pro may not offer a lot in the way of physical protection, it protects your data in a different way, with 256-bit AES hardware data encryption. Using the included V-Safe Security software, you can easily set up a password locked privacy zone, allowing you to keep most of your files accessible, while putting a lock on anything sensitive. And with Fat32 formatting, both the Store 'n' Go Pro and the V-Safe Security will work on a variety of systems: Windows (Windows 7, Vista, and XP), Mac (OS 9.0 and up), and Linux (Kernal Version 2.6.x and up).

Available at retail for $117, the 64GB Store 'n' Go Pro offers storage at $1.83 per gigabyte. By comparison, the rubber-armored 32GB Corsair Flash Voyager GT sells for $2.03 per GB, while the chunky Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 Generation 2 (32GB) sells for $2.35/GB. For similar security?at a much smaller capacity?the 8GB Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ sells for $14, or roughly $1.75 per GB. Unlike these other drives, which each come with a 5-year warranty, Verbatim covers the Store 'n' Go Pro with a lifetime warranty.

While Verbatim claims read speeds of up to 30 MBps and write speeds of up to 12 MBps, it didn't quite hit those speeds during testing. In our timed file transfer test, the Store 'n' Go Pro managed to match the claimed write speed (12 MBps) but didn't deliver on read speed, clocking at 22 MBps. By comparison, the Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ (8GB) was a tad slower, with data transfer rates of 24 MBps (read) and 10 MBps (write), while the high capacity Kingston DataTraveler R500 produced faster speeds of 30 MBps (read) and 21 MBps (write). For faster performance, try a drive with USB 3.0, like the Corsair Flash Voyager GT, which delivered write speeds of 36.7 MBps and read speeds of 95.6 MBps.

While other drives may offer more rugged construction or a cheaper price point, the 64GB Verbatim Store 'n' Go Pro offers a compelling blend of storage capacity with easy to use security, letting you lock only what's private behind encryption and a password, leaving the rest freely accessible. If the 8GB offered by the Editors' Choice Kingston DataTraveler Locker+ isn't enough, you can be confident grabbing the Verbatim Store 'n' Go Pro.

COMPARISON TABLE
Compare the Verbatim Store 'n' Go Pro USB Flash Drive (64GB) with several other flash drives side by side.

Chronicle of a trial foretold: Breivik is following his manifesto's script

Anders Behring Breivik's manifesto includes instructions on what a 'Templar' should do if tried in a European court.

Among the early headlines from the fourth day of the trial of Anders Behring Breivik for the murder of 77 people last July was that, for the first time, Mr. Breivik did not perform his now-familiar clenched-fist salute upon arrival at the court. Several families of Breivik's victims said they found the salute offensive, and his lawyers apparently were able to convince him to stop and avoid undermining his case.

Skip to next paragraph

But the drop of the salute is not only significant for its effect on his defense's strategy. It also marks a significant departure from Breivik's playbook: his 1,500-page manifesto. Breivik wrote extensively not only about his own beliefs about the alleged activities of "the Marxist tyrants of Europe" and the mission of the Knights Templar, or "Templars," the group to which he claims to belong. He also wrote a comprehensive set of instructions and guidelines for what a Templar should do if tried in a European court. He appears to be following it to the extent he is able.

Breivik wrote a short section on his salute, which he claims to be "the military salutation" of the Templars. He writes that the salute, which he recommends being performed in a white glove, symbolizes strength, purity, and resistance against "the Marxist tyrants of Europe." Interestingly, he claims the salute has nothing to do with either racist "white power" salutes or with the similar, open-palmed Nazi salute.

While Breivik's manifesto does not mention the salute specifically in reference to a trial, its use at trial fits closely into what Breivik argues is the best way to use trials: as propaganda. Breivik writes that after being captured, "the subsequent court proceedings may present several propaganda opportunities." He adds that "This trial is (from our point of view), not against you but rather a trial against the regime."

One of the key openings for propaganda that Breivik saw is the opportunity to present an opening and closing statement. Breivik includes a four-page sample opening statement, which he seemed to use as a source for his own.?

His sample draws parallels between the quest of the "Templars" and that of Native American leaders like Sitting Bull ? parallels he made on the first day of testimony in his own trial. As the Monitor reported, ?Were they terrorists for fighting for their indigenous culture ? or were they heroes?? Breivik asked the court. ?My acts are based on goodness, not evil,? he added. ?If anyone is vicious it is the Socialists.?

In the manifesto, Breivik also outlines a dress code for Templars, which he says should be adhered to in court. "Our dress uniform ... will be used for the sole?purpose of representing the authority of our military order and tribunal during trial," he writes. The uniform is to include a US Marine Corp dress jacket in dark blue or black, dress pants in the same color, and an extensive set of medals and decorations including epaulettes and Templar badges. Judging from the photos of his appearances in court, Breivik seems to have been following his own dress code as best he can, though he has appeared sans pseudo-military decorations.

In his game plan for Templar trial appearances, Breivik shows every expectation of losing. The heading for his sample closing statement reads: "Closing statement ? last day of trial, after judgment (guilty)." But he also expresses hope that the trial may lead to the introduction of stiffer criminal sentences, and perhaps even introduction of the death penalty, which is currently illegal in Norway.

The trial itself may not end up as anything else than a formality where the goal can be to change the law, forcing the parliament of that country to introduce the death penalty, or harshen the penal laws in other ways. Indirectly forcing the parliament of your country to change the laws will be an indirect victory to our movement because it will provide significant media coverage of our cause and thus will contribute to future recruitment efforts.

Breivik echoed this thinking during his second day of testimony, the Monitor reported.

?No, I don?t want [capital punishment], but I would have respected that,? he said, adding that if Norway doubled the current maximum sentence it would ?serve his cause? and ?prove Norway had thrown their principles out the window."

Nokia nabs 808 PureView space shot of this big, blue 41-megapixel marble

We've seen plenty of shots of the Nokia 808 PureView in action, but they've all been hampered by boring old terrestrial bounds. Thankfully, a team attached the handset to a giant balloon for a little more perspective. The photo is at the end of the six and half minute video after the break, but thankfully there are a lot of lovely shots of Iceland accompanying atmospheric music to keep you busy in the meantime.

[Thanks, Chad]
