REVIEW: Google Chrome 3.0 Beta: Fast and Steady May Win the Race
August 11th, 2009 |

Less than a year old and already at the 3.0 beta stage, Googe Chrome is quickly gaining on its rivals in the browser market. However, in this case haste isn’t making waste: The Google Chrome 3.0 beta showcases several new features that catch the browser up with competitors, and, if we see a few more additions by the time it releases, Chrome 3.0 looks like it will be a worthwhile upgrade.
– Mozilla Firefox has been out for more than five years and is just at Version 3.0. Apple Safari was originally released six years ago and is at Version 4.0. Google Chrome has been out for less than nine months, and Google just made Version 3.0 available. Google clearly is hell-bent on quickly making …

Nuçi’s Space was founded in 1999 by the Phillips family of Atlanta in memory of their son and brother who committed suicide in 1996 after a long battle with depression. Nuçi was a talented musician and a promising student at the University of Georgia in Athens. Having lived through the course of Nuçi’s illness, the family recognized the need for obstacle free, user-friendly ways of treating and supporting those who suffer from depression and other such disorders. Nuçi’s Space provides a variety of services for musicians who are often uninsured including professional therapy and medical care as well as professional services including several sound-proof, low cost rehearsal rooms.
Proceeds from Rock N Raffle will aid Nuçi’s Space in their mission to prevent suicide by providing obstacle-free treatment for musicians suffering from depression and other such disorders, as well as to assist in the emotional, physical and professional well-being of musicians. Rock N Raffle was created with the help of the Drive-By Truckers, Widespread Panic, and Plexus Web Creations, all long-time, loyal supporters of Nuçi’s Space. 100% of the proceeds from the online contest will benefit Nuçi’s Space.
To enter the contest and support Nuçi’s Space, go to rocknraffle.com. For each $1 donation you make, your name will be entered into the grand prize drawing that will take place on October 2, 2009.

Teenage diver becomes world champion
July 22nd, 2009 |
No Comments
With barely a ripple, teenage diver Tom Daley last night became a world champion – and simultaneously put memories of a disappointing Olympics and cruel school bullying behind him.
Daley’s win in Rome – to become world champion at the 10m individual platform event – takes him a long way from his performance in Beijing. There he had a very public falling out – over a mobile phone call his synchro diving partner Blake Aldridge took between dives – and they finished eighth.
Daley’s success led to him being bullied at school. It got worse when he became more well known and he was eventually forced to change schools. At the time, his father, Rob, said: “In class they throw pens and pencils at him. Some have even threatened to break his legs. That was the last straw.”
The teenager has now enrolled at the independent Plymouth College, which boasts a number of national athletes including swimmer Cassie Patten, who won a bronze medal in Beijing.
Daley, 15, described his win as “insane”. “To come away with gold was unthinkable. It still hasn’t sunk in. It makes all the sacrifices worthwhile. Now I want to do it again in 2012.”
His father, who was in Rome to see his son’s victory, said: “I had a flashback of his whole life and I looked up and he was world champion and he is 15. It is an unbelievable feeling.”
