On Saturday, September 13th over 500 pirates of all ages joined the Portland Water Bureau and the Columbia Slough Watershed Council for an event like no other, a pirate-themed groundwater education festival. Now in its twelfth year, Aquifer Adventure teaches families about our underground treasure - not gold, but groundwater, a precious resource that flows below our feet!
The event featured a groundwater obstacle course, water conservation activities, information on green household cleaners, edible aquifers made from ice cream, canoe rides on the Columbia Slough and more. Attendees also had the chance to explore a drinking water well site and learn how a real aquifer works from Portland Water Bureau experts.
What makes groundwater so important? Groundwater from the Columbia South Shore Well Field is a secondary source of drinking water for Portland and is a critical component of the region's drinking water system. Groundwater is used to help meet higher summer water demands and to provide water during emergencies or when Portland's primary drinking water source, the Bull Run watershed, is not available. Having a back-up water supply source also helps the City avoid having to build and operate an expensive water filtration plant for the Bull Run source.More Information

The season 2003/2004 opens with news of high technical and human profile: first of all, the arrival of the competition rider Mario Maini as instructor, adviser, competition rider and friend.
M. Maini, who was born in a family of riders, begins the activity of competition rider as a four years old boy. He got his first victories at the age of 8, and from 1950 onward, he participated to many national and international competitions.
He won more than 70 prizes for potence. The French defined him great competition rider, competition specialist and excellent horse trainer. In the 1970s the Germans called him the best competition rider of the moment. The A.N.I.E. gave him in 1999 a prize to the career. In the FISE memorandum he appears among the five best Competition riders, with the most part of victories, of all times. He participated to 7 editions of the Sienas Palio Horse Race and afterwards, as the big eclectic man he is, Maini passed with ease from Piazza del Campo to Piazza di Siena, gaining a great success for more than five years. A bad motocross accident in 1960, precluded to Maini the possibility to participate, in the best period for himself and for the Italian Horsemanship, to the Olympiads of Rome.

What to say about him? An inimitable competition rider, he brought to the Due Laghi his unique style, besides the power of a strong charisma and a sublime technical and didactic skill.
Seeing him riding and teaching makes one reflect: the art lives in the heart and, there's no doubt, for great men, neither time nor age count.
Who better than him can be the testimonial of the forthcoming programs of the "Due Laghi"?

Saint-Francois is found at the south eastern tip of Grande Terre, an island in Guadeloupe archipelago in the Caribbean. Self catering accommodation in Saint-Francois enjoys beautiful stretches of sandy beach protected from the currents of the Atlantic Sea by a coral reef.
First and foremost the thing to do while staying in a holiday home in Saint Francois is make for the beach and either relax or join in any of the beach activities. If your closest beach is a little too touristy for you it will be only minutes to somewhere more secluded and idyllic. Take in the scenery of la Pointe des Chateaux where the sand a rock formation has the shape of a castle; from there you can look out over the small islands of La Desirade, Petite Terre, Marie Galante, Les Saintes, La Dominique, as well as have a perfect view of Grande Terre and far away Basse Terre. Plan to visit one of all of them during your stay; Petite Terre is uninhabited and untamed while Saint-Barthelemy is the jet set island.
Among the most popular activities during a stay in a holiday home in Saint-Francois are diving and snorkelling. The colourful assortment of tropical fish is incredible even in water of less than one metre deep so you don't have to be a good swimmer to enjoy them. If you don't want to swim, just admire, glass bottom boats are available. The night life here is also lively and colourful with not just the usual bars and clubs but festivals also known as parties in the street; these can go on all night and way into the morning.
One of the islands you may want to visit during a stay in a Saint-Francois self catering holiday home is Basse Terre with its spectacular waterfalls and jungle a complete contrast to the flat, dry Grande Terre. Some of the waterfalls are within ten minutes of parking but some take around three to four hours of hiking but are well worth the trek. Boats leave from the port in Saint-Francois for most of the other islands but as Saint Francois has an airfield it is also possible to take a short flight to nearby Puerto Rica for a different day out.
At a Saint-Francois holiday home you will be able to expect plenty of dry, warm weather with the archipelago generally enjoying a subtropical climate tempered by trade winds and moderately high humidity.
As Saint-Francois holiday home accommodation is in an integrated part of France probably the best way to get there is by Air France from London Heathrow (LHR) to Guadeloupe Pointe-a-Pitre Airport (PTP).

We've had the opportunity to review a few tablet / netbook combinations here at HotHardware (the Eee PC T91 from Asus immediately comes to mind), but in the 10+ years of covering computing technology, there has yet to be a tablet as polarizing, alluring, and promising as iPad. And after all of these years, who would've thought that it would be Apple leading the tablet charge of 2010? Early last decade, somewhere around 2003 or 2004, there was a huge push for tablet PCs to make it big. That's a long time ago, for sure, but we recall it feeling a little bit like the netbook push of 2008. Companies were hailing their tablets as "all new machines," with new form factors that would "redefine" the way we used a computer. We were told that our keyboard and mouse were no longer necessary, and so long as we had a free hand, we had a means to enjoy a full-fledged computing experience.But those tablets were, putting it simply, way ahead of their time. Most were very bulky (some nearly 2" thick), screens were generally low-res, battery life was abysmal and Windows XP simply was not optimized for touch. It felt like manufacturers were shoving an operating system that was designed from the ground-up to be used with a mouse and keyboard into a device with neither, and then they all wondered why no one wanted to pay more for the things than the average notebook. Users simply saw no real benefit in using a tablet over a laptop, and they definitely didn't see the need in paying more for less convenience. For years, the tablet PC lived on primarily in two places: hospitals and in the wild. Panasonic kept a Toughbook Tablet or two alive for years since it was such a great machine in the field, and obviously medical charting works very well on a tablet-styled device. But consumers? Most simply ignored them and moved on.Apple iPad Review: The Tablet Revolution Begins
I've been looking forward to reading this review in detail to see if this website can convert me to believing the Ipad has potential. Sadly, it does not. However, Marco pointed out something in the last paragraph in the review.
"Some Windows PC users and hardcore computing enthusiasts will probably look elsewhere at some of the more complete, competitive tablet solutions coming to market this year, but for everyone else, the iPad brings a lot of computing fun and function on the go."
That sentence sums up everything. It is not for people who watercool their desktops, overclock their cpus, uses RAID, vmware, linux or other non-mainstream software or techniques that maximize their PCs or even Macs (Yeah, I said Macs...lol). The Ipad's small memory of ram (256mb) and its lack of customization (USB ports, SD slots, unable to take the battery off) can be a real turnoff.
Other than that, I thought the Ipad was very fitting for those who don't need an intensive digital experience. That was...until I saw this news this morning after I read the review...
Now, the Wi-Fi problem can be resolved as it is shown with the following link:
However, that being said, the overheating issue stinks....especially when you have to put your Ipad in a refrigerator to cool it down since it dissipates heat poorly. You might as well only use the Ipad indoors since it is heat sensitive. There is no way you can use this in the summer when the Ipad will just automatically shut down if the temperature is above 35 degrees Celsius.
I would also like to point out that Apple's app store policy is just as bad as Microsoft's Xbox Live where they want full control on what is to be available to the public.
All in all, I'll settle for netbook anytime and anyday of the week over an Ipad. I'll pass.
Very nice review, and not a bad little system.
Now, I've got to go write them a nasty letter for not printing double-sided and wasting virtual paper in the iBook app.

Just a few points to help you guys out... Lots of these are just minor annoyances
You can not hover (actually you can do hover by flicking really really lightly on the (small)
button, just most people don't know this)
Lots of HTML rendering issues (and I'm not talking about flash, try naving Facebook)
Price per GB of storage past 16 ($6.25 per GB beyond 16 for the 32 model, $4.16~ per GB beyond 16 for the 64 model)
No proper filing system (get a bunch of docs in Pages and then try to find the one you were working on...)
No up/down (you guys lost where the home button or volume rocker was yet?)
App rearrangement (the 5x4 layout switches to a 4x5 when rotating, causing top right apps to move to middle left)
No stereo sound (two speakers firing out the same hole do not stereo but mono sound make)
Wi-Fi (sure they listed some fixes, but it is buggy as hell)
iPhone apps do not rotate
No Multi-tasking (I know I know, said already but this is a HUGE deal breaker)
Touch keyboard (seriously, just look at Anand's in-depth review to get an idea of the pain actually using this most of the time)
Not widescreen?! (What is this, 1990? With most media coming out being widescreen, why would you release a media device that isn't?)
No GPS (this thing would be great for nav... but no GPS)
oleophobic coating just does not work well on the iPad
Screen is near unreadable in sunlight (not that you will be using it in the sun, since it overheats like a mutha)
USB charging, shaky at best (need a 5w plus USB port, which isn't very common at all)
Headphone jack (why on top of the thing?)
Why no widgets? (All that screen space just wasted)
Horizontal holding/home button (be careful while your playing a game, hit the button and game closes)
Unstable apps (I'm shocked that this wasn't mentioned. Apps are crashing on these things a *LOT*)
Cost of iPad apps (seriously, double?!)
Pages doesn't ($10 for Apples word app which doesn't even work right)
Spelling auto-correction (doesn't work/often gives crazy words)
Consuming, not creating (Not really a gripe, but what the iPad is)
That's enough for now.

"I frag therefore I am!"
Referring to the video, I was very impressed with how fluid the motions on the interface were. If Apple is doing something right, it's creating an OS that can be extremely responsive to touch, and it shows with how efficiently it handles your finger movements. One thing in particular that I noticed was how fast the images loaded. There was no lag at all between the cycles. Using Safari on a WiFi network was pretty impressive as well. The HH webpage loaded pretty well and the Pinch/Zoom feature showed virtually zero pixelation, regardless of how fast you attempted a zoom. But as always, the greatest downside for the iPad is the fact that it doesn't support flash encoded videos. At least it plays YouTube though.
It's true that the App Store is growing everyday. Jobs said that there was over 100,000 apps currently in circulation, and that there was no apparent end in sight. But how many of those apps are actually being used? There are Apple App developers out there that are creating apps to try to return a profit for purchasing a $100 licensing charge, and they can't turn over anything because their apps get lost in the sea. I've wanted to jump on that bandwagon and try to pay my way through college by making apps that are popular and sell for cheap. But honestly I don't see a point anymore, I'm 2 years behind the craze, and I believe that all of the good ideas have been taken up. I understand that I'm being pessimistic, but a guy is making thousands of dollars a month for creating an App that simulates various farting noises. I mean, where is the hope in that?
Gaming will be more popular on the iPad specifically because it has a larger screen and better capabilities. But I too am perplexed on why Apple wont' reveal all of the iPad's system specifications. Are they just paranoid? Or maybe it's like you said, the low powered GPU keeps the iPad alive for much longer than other tablets out there. But the real question is: How will people successfully integrate this in their day by day life? I really feel like this product is one of those "wow" factors that just eventually die. It's like, playing a video game campaign, beating it, reveling in the awesomeness, and then shelving it. The internet experience is better on the iPad simply because it's better than the iPhone, in terms of size at least, the larger screen allows for an easier web browsing experience.
But I'm extremely biased towards any product that Apple throws out on the market, so I am really trying to be nice here. But I have to say, that I think that these devices are so popular because of their simplicity: the fact that anybody can pick it up, no matter their intellectual ability with computers. The iPad is still being held back into it utilizes the full potential of the OS 4.0 that is coming out soon. I feel like I am thrown away from it regardless though. Just the fact that I can't hot wire a USB connection from my computer to an iPad, and upload media date on there is a really big turn off for me. We'll see what happens in the coming months.
Great review guys!
Excellent objective review..... The lack of a killer must have app I'm sure is hurting Apples adoption of the iPad. Multitasking will come but the lack of a camera, USB port, and SD card reader which could all be done with add on peripherals are really a detourant.
Thanks dcford. Glad you flet we gave it a fair shake. That's our keen focus here is being fair and balanced.
Editor In Chiefhttp://hothardware.com
Really nice review. I'm still not interested in buying one but this review was nice. I never said anything about the graphics for gaming as i guessed it would be great. How ever i think the ipad is too large to do racing games like that one. I might get tired holding it up tilting left and right but maybe im just weak :). If they decide to add features i could use i may consider one as i want a ereader anyways xD. The website speed test is a nice graph have :)
The iPad is waaay too expensive, doesn't do Flash Player, and AT&T is the sole provider of data service. Yuk. Unless you just gotta have the newest hardware, wait - there are going to be a whole bunch of new tablets very soon from other manufacturers for LE$$. Perhaps Apple will sue one of them, too.

To be perfectly honest with you, I wouldn't be surprised by that action from Apple at all.
Could that be why they aren't fully revealing the iPad's specs?

Fair and Balanced!You sly Fox's
I beck you guys reilly know how to throw a party :)
Good review. I was wondering how this thing would stand up in the WiFi arena, that answers it. Even with this review, I think I will wait for the Slate just for the ports and camera. Hopefully they will take a cue from the same battery manufacturer and give us the same performance the Ipad has.
One thing I was wondering about. Autodesk signed on to partake in the marketing blitz, by saying this is teamed up with Sketchbook Pro. I still don't understand how one can use just your hands for something like that. Or if the GPU has the capability to go past 200DPI? I'd probably feel like a kid trying to fingerpaint.
Is there any mention of this being able to use any kind of stylus?
Yes, it's an Apple, therefore it's expensive & It's cool too.
It's an Apple, therefore it's tightly controlled and anyone who tries to change this will suffer at the hands of Job's legal teams.
The review was stellar and very informative. I would have had to actually GO to an Apple store and drink the Kool-Aid to learn all about this thing otherwise. Thank You for taking the time to do this right Marco and Dave.

I'm sure that selling 300,000 units in just the first day doesn't feel like poor adaptation to the folks at Apple.
Dogs are great judges of character, and if your dog doesn't like somebody being around, you shouldn't trust them.
It's an Apple, therefore it's tightly controlled and anyone who tries to change this will suffer at the hands of Job's legal teams.
See that's what really upsets me about Jobs. When people buy a Mac they get exactly what comes out of the package. You can't mess with the OS's settings very much, or do any other forms of modifications that you can do on a Windows PC.
Unrelated, I thought of this picture:
Great news: You can return your new iPad within 14 days if you don't like it! Read HERE and HERE.

Yeah. My roommate works at Best Buy and he saw a few returns basically the next day. The customers probably brought it home, turned it on, and then realized that the $499 device was not useful.
HEHE, everyone return your ipads now! Apple was happy with how many people bought their products... what if everyone returns their ipad now :P lol
Have you guys seen Mad TV's version of the iPad? Yikes! Check it out HERE.

When Ryan Dixon was 13, his Baptist dad went through a backpack and found a picture of his son and a boyfriend. He met Ryan after school with the preacher. My father said I would die of AIDS and go to hell.
Eight years later, Dixon of Wilton Manors contracted HIV having unprotected sex in gay porn films. I often thought about the words my dad said to me, he said. It felt like, What have I done in life? Is it karma?
Dixon once known as porn star Kameron Scott is documenting his life with a weekly column, My HIV Diary, in South Florida Gay News. Saturday night, he will record a World AIDS Day 2012 vigil in Wilton Manors for his website, QueerChannel Network.
He symbolizes to me what gay men should be: open, out and unashamed about how he is and what he has done, said Dixons boss, SFGN publisher and Fort Lauderdale attorney Norm Kent. Willing to put himself at risk to make a difference for others.
Dixon tells why:
I saw there was nothing out there. There were support groups online, chat forums, but there was no one telling their story. There wasnt anyone saying, This is what I go through. Heres what Im feeling. I cant go to work because I cant leave the bathroom. There was no one saying that, especially someone my age. Im 25. God I feel old. In Wilton Manors years, Im ancient.
Dixon left home in Norfolk, Va., at age 18, moved to Baton Rouge and enrolled at Louisiana State University. He worked part-time, played college baseball and had academic scholarships. He sought a degree in sports management.
In early 2008, Dixon got a job offer from the Florida Marlins to work in the clubhouse. He quit school and moved to South Florida. In Fort Lauderdale he met a porn-film agent who offered him work.
He said, Heres what I can do for you. It worked for my schedule. When the team was out of town, I could film. I made them all over, Florida and Los Angeles, mostly, said Dixon, who described Fort Lauderdale as a porn hub.
The very first films I had ever filmed were bareback, said Dixon, who never knew for sure who infected him.
Required for work to be tested once a month, Dixon got his diagnosis from a Nashville clinic.
I called in to get my results. I was on the phone. [The clinic nurse] was all chipper when I called. Let me get your papers. When she got back on the phone, all I heard was big exhale. She was like, Ryan, Im sorry to have to tell you but the test came back positive. I said, Maybe theres a mistake, Ill come back and do it again. She said No, weve already double checked it.
I didnt really cry. It didnt really sink in until the next day. I honestly thought my life was over. Fortunately, Im a little bit better educated now.
Dixon quit making porn. He supported himself as a barista at Starbucks.
In 2008, Dixon met Fort Lauderdale photographer/videographer Bob Kecskemety, who befriended and gave him a place to live. Kecskemety, who died of bone and bladder cancer in May at age 61, bequeathed his QueerChannel company and camera equipment to Dixon, whos working to turn his life around.
Dixon takes the anti-AIDS drug Truvada and a study medication that still doesnt have a name. He has a steady boyfriend also named Ryan and also HIV positive and a steady job writing for South Florida Gay News.
One day while I was sitting in a session with a therapist, I kept worrying about what other people would think. She said, You only have to worry for yourself. I realized this was nobody elses fight except mine. I pulled myself up by my bootstraps. I put on my big-boy pants and said if I expect anyone to help me, I have to start with myself. I educated myself. I sought out health professionals. And answers to my questions.
I never set out to become anybody. If I can become the face of what living with HIV is, then good, said Dixon, who often talks to gay youths in trouble. In 2009, young men who had sex with men accounted for 61% of all new HIV infections, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
Ive taken those phone calls, those texts from young people, he said. The youngest: a 14-year-old boy who contracted HIV from a boyfriend in his 20s.
When youre 14 you should be worried about acne and the prom. Not about ..., Dixon said, his voice trailing off. All he did was sit there and cry. I cried when he hung up.

Free Caryn Sodaro – An Occupy Prisoner of Conscience
Join us as we help one of Occupy Denver's original and highly visible members. Caryn was part of the original security team for the 24/7 occupiers, marshaled at early marches and always stood up for her first amendment rights. For these reasons, she has been targeted by the Denver Police Department and has been in jail since early March. She is currently being abused both psychologically and physically while in jail. Most of Caryn's charges have been dropped and her bond has been reduced to $10,000. Caryn does not deserve to be treated this way, especially as she always courageously spoke up and would stand up for the rights of the most vulnerable members of our community.
Why we care
Caryn was targeted during a spring crackdown of the Occupy Movement here in Denver. In the late winter of 2012, the Denver Police Department began a targeted crackdown against longstanding occupiers. Although the physical structures of the security booth and the Thunderdome went down in the fall of 2011, the Denver Police Department arrested 24/7 occupiers who had manned these spaces or carried out similar tasks over the winter. Highly visible occupiers who led marches were likewise targeted by late spring of 2012. Most arrests occurred after actions were over and protestors had dispersed. This snatch-and-grab tactic averts media attention and accountability. The result is a pattern seen during crackdowns around the world – trumped up charges, an increase in political prisoners and an epidemic of police abuse.

It may not be a well-understood acronym but its meaning and continuing impact are absolutely central to understanding the government's wars and repression against progressive movements. COINTELPRO 101 is a 56-minute educational film that will open the door to understanding this history. This documentary will introduce viewers new to this history to the basics and direct them to other resources where they can learn more. The intended audiences are the generations that did not experience the social justice movements of the sixties and seventies.
Inside Job
Producer/director Charles Ferguson (No End in Sight) speaks at length with journalists, politicians, and financial insiders in order to offer a clearer picture of the economic meltdown that hit America starting in 2008. Academy Award winner Matt Damon narrates this unflinching look at the deep-rooted corruption that has left millions of middle-class Americans jobless and homeless as the major corporations get bailed out while paying millions in bonuses.

Video Management within Eclipse CMS
Integrating the Video Platform Kaltura to a CMS Client
The integration and management of video assets within web content management systems challenges both users and operators alike. Connecting an existing video management platform with the employed CMS is an effective way to achieve this goal, while simultaneously not reinventing the wheel and keeping user training short. The German company subshell chose this path and integrated the open source video platform Kaltura into the client application of Sophora, their popular content management system.
For those reasons, the development team of subshell chose a third way: the integration of the open source video platform Kaltura with their CMS Sophora. To better understand the connection of both systems, they are introduced individually at first. Afterwards, functional and technical details of the integration are highlighted.
What is Sophora?
Sophora is a Java based content management system built upon Apache Jackrabbit, an implementation of the JCR specification (Content Repository API for Java). For the play-out of content, Sophora focuses on Java Server Pages (JSP) within an Apache Tomcat server. The editorial user interface is an Eclipse Rich Client Platform application, called "DeskClient". An article about Sophora's utilization for one of Germany's leading news websites, tagesschau.de, has been published in edition 2.11 of the German Eclipse Magazine and online at jaxenter.com.
What is Kaltura?
The Kaltura platform is an open source video asset management system that is already in use by notable clients such as Universal, Sony, Pepsi and Coca Cola. There are two different versions available. Besides the free community edition you can purchase a variant including hosting and support services. At this point, subshell collaborates with a partner firm; the nacamar GmbH handles the hosting of the Kaltura system including streaming and transcoding. The product is called medianac.
Kaltura's Architecture
The architecture of the video platform basically consists of four layers. The bottom layer contains web-services that act as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) in a cloud. On top of this, there is a layer of client libraries for programming languages such as C#, Ruby or Java. These libraries abstract from the web-service and thus ease the corresponding communication. The next layer comprises so-called widgets, which can be used for certain tasks such as playing or uploading videos. These widgets, offered by Kaltura, are generally based on Adobe Flash so that they can be embedded into custom applications. Finally, the top layer consists of plug-ins for third-party applications, for instance Drupal, WordPress, MediaWiki and Joomla. This last layer also contains the Kaltura management console, which aggregates almost all widgets in one web-interface and thereby enables the management of the entire system. With the help of this console you can upload videos, manage existing ones, change the configuration, create video collections (which are called Mixes), analyze click rates and much more.
The Idea
At this point you might be wondering what the benefits are when connecting a video platform, in this case medianac, and the CMS, Sophora. One of the biggest advantages is that editorial journalists who work with this CMS on a daily basis, do not need to familiarize themselves with another application, but instead can use the new features within the known environment. The simplified integration of new tools into the user interface is a core element of Sophora and particularly convenient for the user. Since Sophora is document-based, different content types like news articles, image galleries, links, audios or videos are modeled as individual documents. This way users are facilitated to create pages by composing corresponding documents rather than to edit the entire website as a whole. Thus built-in CMS functionality, such as drag and drop to combine content, document life-cycle operations, or different levels of user permissions, is available for videos as well.
Configurational details, which are non-relevant for the users (like the applied video codec) can be hidden from certain roles. The management of different roles also allows a clear separation of responsibilities within the editorial workflow: Multimedia journalists handle the configuration and supply of video assets while their colleagues provide conventional content as usual.
Another advantage of medianac is that the control over the actual video data remains in your hands, because there is an unrestricted access to all assets within the video platform. You determine a video's life cycle and which formats are available in a certain quality. Since the Kaltura instance is under your administration, you neither have to grant external usage nor publication permissions to a hosting company, as is usually the case when using one of the leading video portals (see for instance, section 10 of the terms of use of YouTube).

Impatience won't turn Yahoo around
Demanding investors can do more harm than good to the visionary companies they support.
Many investors bring a mindset typical of our tap-the-touchscreen-and-it-appears society into their long-term stock positions. Despite feeling entitled by years of waiting around, you cannot expect instant gratification, particularly when a company requires drastic change just to stay alive.
Consider TheStreet contributor Eric Jackson's reaction to Yahoo (YHOO) CEO Marissa Mayer's decision to not return cash to shareholders, but spend it on growth and acquisition.
Labeling the move a "bungle," Jackson expressed frustration: "As a longtime Yahoo shareholder, I've heard Yahoo's management and board promise that they are doing things to increase 'long-term shareholder value' for more than six years!"
Jackson prefers Yahoo use proceeds from its Alibaba divesture for stock buybacks and M&A. He discounts Mayer's attempts to restore employee morale, focus on products and position Yahoo for the long-term. He then, somewhat shockingly, goes on to say:
Sometimes people in [Silicon] Valley get a little disconnected from Wall Street. The Valley elites look down at the Wall Street elites thinking one creates real stuff and the other just makes money off it.
... Like it or not, shareholders are as critical a stakeholder group to Yahoo!'s future as its own employees.
It's exactly that type of attitude that can turn a company into a mess.
Ask Steve Jobs: Shareholders are pests. They persist with demands until a weaker leader, like Tim Cook at Apple (AAPL), loses touch with company culture and sight of the long term and gives in.
Wall Street-types often have a difficult time wrapping their heads around what makes tech companies tick.
Don't take this to mean I think investors should bid YHOO higher right now. Mayer needs to deliver first. Then, and only then, does she deserve considerable, stock-pumping benefit of the doubt. For a legitimate shot at that luxury, however, she requires carte blanche now.
To give her anything but full control would be unfair not only to Mayer, but it would undermine the potential positive impacts of the refreshing decision to hire her.
It took Jeff Bezos more than a decade to get Wall Street in his corner. But, since late 2008, Amazon.com (AMZN) stock has, for the most part, done nothing but go up, despite calls from the peanut gallery that it's "overvalued."
It's safe to say that practically every visionary CEO in Silicon Valley strives to put his or her company in the position Amazon is in. Bezos's track record of execution and offsets concerns around profitability and margins. And rightfully so.
Mayer will run Yahoo in the image of Jeff Bezos and Amazon. That's what they're trying to do at Facebook (FB), Pandora (P) and other perpetual startups.
Many will fail. Mayer will succeed. Yahoo will be a survivor.
Shareholders in stocks like YHOO need to put the past behind them. Mayer has nothing to do with it; as such, don't punish her for it. Appreciate the complexity of a turnaround, sit back and enjoy the ride.

text: Thanks for all the information Caenwyr and Viking, Ive removed the huge delta and changed it to a single river instead. I decided to go with the south side of the sea rather than the north mainly because I wanted a natural nation border in that area. I think I am happy with all of the bodies of water, and moved onto forests and country borders. The north and western parts of the continent are covered in a massive pine forest, the south and eastern parts of the country covered in temperate oak forests, and the mid-northeastern part of the continent is a mixture of both forests. There are two swamps, one in the midsouthern part of the continent (south of the large sea) and on the eastern coast of the continent. Im curious if these are acceptable places for swamps, I really don't know how they are formed or where they are normally located, though I know Florida is a swamp on a peninsula, so I placed them near the oceans. Also, the land above the huge trench is snowy year-round while the land below the trench is temperate climate. (I do need to signify the snow, somehow).

Walk in the park becomes a route to getting fit
12:00pm Thursday 9th January 2014 in News
JANUARY is when many people dust off the trainers to get fit. And city councillor Mark Lygo has been demonstrating the benefits on new state-of-the-art gym equipment in Cowley Marsh park.
The new fitness trail covers approximately 1km and has multiple exercise stations located at intervals so people can run on grass or paths from station to station.
Each station has signs showing people how to use the equipment and distance markers along the routes help to measure a run.
The trail is part of a £160,000 programme in partnership with Groundwork South to deliver five fitness trails across the city.
Cllr Lygo, board member for parks, sport and events, said: "The Fitness Trail in Cowley is a great feature for this popular park, providing new opportunities for our city's residents to take time out of their busy day to take part in exercise out in the fresh air."
Consultation is under way for similar trails at South Park and across Blackbird and Greater Leys.

But will consumers enter their credit card number to participate?
Text message marketing has been all about sending offers or content to customers who opt in to a mobile phone number database—offers or content designed for the crowd, not the individual. There have been some retailers that narrowed the crowd down into groups. Vans and Moosejaw, for example, have let consumers check off groups or features they wish to belong to or receive when opting in to texts. A Vans customer might check off "Surf" and then receive only content from Vans.com relating to surfing.
Gap has taken this process of honing text message marketing to the next level by providing offers custom-made for individuals. Partner Visa combs opt-in customers' Visa transaction history to get an idea of the kinds of things a customer would be interested in, and Gap sends out offers based on that information. I think that's brilliant.
But the big question is, will customers offer their credit card numbers to get these kinds of text messages? Customers received an e-mail a few days ago announcing the program and sending them to a secure Visa.com page to sign up. All they have to do is enter their mobile phone number and Visa card number and they're all set. No name, expiration date or other information is collected, so a charge can't be made. And the numbers are handled on a secure, encrypted site.
But when I received the e-mail, my first question was, why do they need my Visa number? You see, they don't explain in the main e-mail marketing copy that you're receiving offers based on your purchase history. You have to read the fine print to understand what is happening. Why hide this fact? The fact that offers are personalized is a big selling point, and I think one that could convince many people to take that big step of entering their credit card number. As it is, without reading the fine print, there's no real reason given why Gap needs the Visa number.
Gap is clearly blazing a new trail in text message marketing with this program. It just needs to speak up, brag about what it and Visa can do for customers. That will help overcome the hurdle of convincing those customers who worry about giving out their credit card number that this program is worth that number.
I hope more retailers move into personalized text messages. It's an ingenious idea by Gap and Visa. And if other retailers do make the move, they should make clear the benefits and how the program works. Customers will love it.

Fine-tuning your fantasy roster is critical to having success on a weekly basis. You can draft a good team, but with injuries and bye weeks, there is always room for more depth. With that in mind, we have four running backs to suggest as free agent pickups for week four of fantasy.
Stevan Ridley is a rookie running back for the Patriots. The LSU product drew attention when he scored three touchdowns in the first preseason game. He followed that up by gaining 111 total yards in the second preseason game. Though he didn't see action in week one, he had two carries in week two. Last week he saw significant action in the second half of the Pats game against the Bills. Ridley ran for 42 yards on six carries and added an 8-yard catch. The Pats still have BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead in the running back rotation, but Ridley has earned his share of carries. If you have room for him, we suggest adding him. He could be the team's primary back in a month or so — he's just better than what New England has.
Montario Hardesty is a second-year running back for the Browns. He was taken in the second round by Cleveland last year but he tore his ACL in his first preseason game and missed the entire year. He's back healthy and acted as Cleveland's primary back week three with Peyton Hillis out sick, going for over 100 total yards. Hillis will be back, but Hardesty was so impressive in his first start that he almost assuredly has earned a timeshare with the Madden cover boy. We loved Hardesty's physical running style in college and were impressed by his ability to break tackles. The talent is there, the Browns have a good enough line, and Hardesty will get enough carries to be a passable bye week fill-in on your fantasy team. Don't expect the same production in week four as Hillis will likely be back, but 10 touches is possible.

Children with neurological disorders such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Tourette's Syndrome, Learning Disabilities, and PDD often feel as though they are living on the wrong planet. They don't intuitively understand societal norms. They experience the world as harsh—too bright, too loud, too rough, too stimulating—or not stimulating enough. Many have difficulty with even basic self-care tasks and self-regulation. As a result, they have difficulty with peers, which can lead to behavior problems, withdrawal, and even anxiety and depression.
This workshop will provide the participant with multi-sensory play therapy techniques that can be used to teach these sensitive children social skills, understanding non-verbal cues, modulation of eye to eye gaze and personal space. Play therapy strategies will be learned to help these kids manage their anger and reduce anxiety, stand up to bullies and calm themselves down. Participants will also learn how to more accurately interpret acting out and self-stimulating behaviors, how to differentiate negative behaviors from self-regulation and cueing, and how to modify play therapy techniques and play therapy areas to make them more multi-sensory.

Yes, I have to say, I love living on my own in Chicago. But my mom is coming to spend Christmas with me - and she demands my place be decorated. I have no idea what to do.
Luckily Dorothy Coyle and Mary Beth Herr, the owners of local furnishing warehouse Coyle and Herr, had some tips for single guys to make a home for the holidays.

Thomas Dunne Books
An anthology of the best motorcycle literature from top authors including Hunter S. Thompson, Thomas McGuane, Robert Pirsig, Roald Dahl, Alberto Granado, and T. E. Lawrence
Sons of Thunder is a high-octane anthology that brings together the best in motorcycle writing.
This unique collection includes seminal pieces from Hunter S. Thompson and Robert Pirsig. Melissa Holbrook Pierson and Thomas McGuane offer probing reflections on the relationship between rider and machine. Roald Dahl waxes poetic on the second-hand Ariel 500cc he bought as a sixteen-year-old. There are classic dispatches from the road including T. E. Lawrence's travels on his Brough Superior, Alberto Granado's storied rides with Che Guevara, and Theresa Wallach's overland journey with Florence Blenkiron from London to Cape Town. This anthology also offers hidden gems, such as Mike Carter's midlife meditation "Uneasy Rider" and Jim Perrin's "Travels with a Harley." Facing more than just the elements of the road, these riders simultaneously take physical and emotional journeys, surrendering to the mental release a bike brings. Danger lurks around every bend, but above all is the rider's desire for speed, the constant craving to go faster and further than one has ever gone before.
At times literary and lyrical, at others tactile and thrilling, Sons of Thunder takes to the road with an all-star roster of writers who delve into the pleasures and perils of motorcycles and celebrate the emotional bond between rider and machine.
"Inspiring and oddly touching volume about the competing joys and uncertainties of two-wheeled life. A bedside book for all bikers." —Peter McKay, Daily Mail
"Bradford's collection leaves very little of the blessed planet untouched . . . an armchair traveler is spoilt for choice." —Hindustan Times
"Conveying to others with words the life-long love of motorcycling—the thrill of it, the sheer joy—is impossible. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. And this is a very good attempt." —Steve Berry, TalkSport
"A marvellous book . . . an altogether entertaining read." —Frieda Hughes, poet and author of Stonepicker

7 Hot Stocks to Trade (or Not)
Nearest Resistance: $26
Nearest Support: N/ACatalyst: Earnings Carryover Facebook (FB) is scraping against some new lows of its own today, down 5% after dropping more than 23% in the last week. The culprit? You guessed it: earnings. >>5 Stocks Poised to Pop on Bullish Earnings The firm's highly anticipated second quarter earnings release on July 26 didn't do much to quell concerns that the quintessential growth stock wasn't growing. In fact, it made them worse. That sparked a massive gap down in the social network last week, sending shares lower than they've ever been in their short trading history. That was enough to feature Facebook in " 5 Social Networking Stocks to Sell Now." Today's price action just proves it.

July 20, 2006
The sound of the jet motors had put all in my section of the airplane to sleep, all except me. I was returning from meetings in Rome that are set each year for the first week in July. Everything had gone well. I had had an opportunity to spend some time with our new Holy Father; and I was able to attend a Mass that he celebrated in St. Peter's Basilica with the new archbishops of the world, the so-called "Pallium Mass." Three of the new archbishops were from the United States, and two of them had been my students in the 1960s. Despite the intense heat, the week had been a delight.
In the pocket attached to the back of the seat in front of me, I spied a colorful flyer bearing the title, "The Glories of Rome." It was an elaborate advertisement for various sightseeing programs offered by a European travel agency. I wondered if there were ever a travel flyer entitled "The Glories of New York," and I began to mull over in my mind what "glories" it might feature. St. Patrick's Cathedral? The Metropolitan Museum? Central Park? The Brooklyn Bridge? Yankee Stadium? Rockefeller Center? The Statue of Liberty?
The list went on and on. However, the more I thought about the matter, the more other "glories" came to mind, "glories" that would never find their way into a travel flyer, but "glories" nonetheless. Five seemed especially glorious.|
The first is an organization of young, successful business men and women. It was founded in 1998 to assist parish elementary schools throughout the archdiocese and is known as Project YESS, that is, "Young Executives Supporting Schools." With a membership of around 300 and a board of 27, it meets four times a year under the brilliant leadership of Mr. Thomas A. Madden of Tischmann-Speyer Properties and Mr. Mark S. Rossi of Cornerstone Equity Investors.
The organization is altogether clear about its mission. It is committed to addressing the unglamorous but basic needs of schools, especially schools that are housed in aging buildings. Project YESS raises funds, hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, to repair roofs, replace boilers, modernize bathrooms and such. It seeks no attention. It has put its name on none of the improvements it has made possible. It prefers to do its work quietly and humbly. As one of its members told me a few years ago at a fund-raising event on the roof garden of Rockefeller Center, "In simplest terms, Cardinal, we do windows." I never forgot that clear and charming statement, and I never will. For me Project YESS is an authentic "glory" of New York.
In 2001, the Cathedral Prep Seminary High School Program, which many know simply as "Cathedral Prep," was founded with Reverend Thomas A. Lynch as its moderator. Father Lynch was ordained in 1992 and is a professor of Church History at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers. Once a month he brings together young men from Catholic and public high schools who sense a call to the priesthood.
They arrive on Friday evening for prayer and a spiritual conference given by Father Lynch. On Saturday morning they participate in Mass and attend a second spiritual conference, this one given by another priest of the archdiocese. On Saturday afternoon there is a catechetical instruction followed by recreation in the gymnasium, pool and playing fields of St. Joseph's Seminary. The day ends with a recitation of the Rosary, another spiritual conference by Father Lynch and a movie. On Sunday morning the young men, usually 20 to 25 in number, have Mass in the chapel of St. Joseph's Seminary and a breakfast to which their families are invited in the seminary dining room.
I have had the pleasure of stopping in on these Cathedral Prep weekends and meeting with the young men who attend them each month for one or two years before deciding if they wish to enter the St. John Neumann Residence and Hall on their way to the priesthood. In 2008, if it be the will of the Eternal High Priest, the first of the "Prep" men will be ordained. On that happy occasion there will be no doubt whatever that Cathedral Prep is one of our authentic "glories."
In 1897, William Russell Grace and his brother, Michael, established the Grace Institute as a tuition-free educational and vocational school for immigrant women in a mansion on Tenth Avenue and West 60th Street in Manhattan. William Russell Grace was an Irish immigrant who had achieved the American dream by founding W.R. Grace and Company and twice serving as Mayor of New York. The Sisters of Charity of New York were chosen to staff the Institute; and when the doors were opened in 1898, it had 300 students. The next year there were 500, and throughout the years that followed there were tens of thousands.
The original curriculum included "cookery, millinery, children's care, Red Cross and dress-making." Soon typing, bookkeeping and stenography were added. And today in the Institute's 14-story building on Second Avenue between 64th and 65th streets, classes are given-all tuition-free-in "computer skills, Internet research skills, keyboarding, business math, business writing and communication, office procedures and career development skills."
Twenty years ago, when I was Vicar for Education here in the archdiocese, I had the pleasure of attending graduations and other events at the Grace Institute with Mr. J. Peter Grace, the grandson of William Russell Grace, and J. Peter Grace's devoted wife, Margaret. ("Margie" to her many friends and admirers.) On those occasions I was deeply impressed by what I saw. Since becoming Archbishop of New York, I have returned to the Institute to meet with the gifted staff and even address the students, thanks to the kind invitation of the executive director, Dr. Mary B. Mulvihill. The students are of all races, faiths and backgrounds. They are the future leaders of Greater New York, and the Institute that so graciously and generously educates them is nothing short of a "glory."
The Archdiocese of New York is around 170 miles long from Ulster County on the North to Staten Island on the South. Five years ago, the future of John A. Coleman Catholic High School in Hurley in Ulster County was thought to be in doubt. Indeed, some were telling me it had to be closed.
The parents and grandparents of the students got together and decided to make the school everything they wanted for their children and grandchildren. An experienced principal from Hyde Park, Mr. John Traverse, was engaged to lead the charge. An enthusiastic P.T.A. was formed to raise funds and to tell the citizens of Ulster County of the strengths of Coleman Catholic. The archdiocese, which owns the land and buildings of the school, saw to major repairs and assisted with financial support. Enrollment went up. The academic program became so successful that virtually all of the graduates were going on to college and university. (To be exact, 96 percent over the period of five years.) The athletic program made the school first in its league in track. And the program of religious formation flourished with Sister Catherine Gormley, S.U., a former principal of Coleman Catholic, and Reverend Jeffrey Maurer, a young associate pastor at Sacred Heart parish in Monroe, providing the leadership.
Twice over the past few years, a newspaper in New York City reported that the John A. Coleman Catholic High School had been closed. I have been to visit it a number of occasions over recent years. It is open, growing and a "glory" of the Church and community in Ulster County.
In 1902, Archbishop (later Cardinal) John M. Farley established the "Association of Charities," an affiliate of the Ladies of Charity that had been formed centuries earlier in Paris, France. It was to be an organization of lay women committed to helping needy mothers and children in New York City and beyond. As the years passed, it became known simply as the Ladies of Charity of New York. It currently numbers about 950 members who are devoted to the Blessed Mother and inspired by the concern for the poor of St. Louise de Marillac, who founded the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul in France in 1633 along with St. Vincent de Paul.
The Ladies of Charity originated the annual Cardinal's Christmas Luncheon to benefit needy mothers and children, which they now sponsor in collaboration with the Development Office of the Archdiocese. In addition, they perform splendid works of charity in their own quiet, gracious and dignified manner. Each year, for example, they prepare numerous "layettes" for mothers in need that contain blankets, diapers, sweaters and scarves, many of which items are hand-knitted and hand-crocheted by the Ladies of Charity themselves. Under the guidance of their President, Miss Dorothea McElduff, they seek no notice, publicity or applause. They seek only to help mothers and children in need in the three boroughs of the City of New York and the seven upper counties served by the archdiocese.
Each year in May I attend the membership luncheon of the Ladies of Charity at the Grand Hyatt Hotel on 42nd Street. The event includes, in addition to a delicious repast, a crowning of the Virgin by children from nearby parish schools, a recital by a distinguished vocalist and a sing-along as well.
This year the Ladies of Charity gave me their St. Louise de Marillac Award. I thanked them most sincerely, telling them of my visits to the chapel on the Rue du Bac in Paris where the saint is buried. As Msgr. Kevin Sullivan, executive director of Catholic Charities, was delivering the grace after meals, a burst of sunlight streamed through the immense windows of the hotel dining room. It was almost as though the Lord wanted to alert me to the fact that I was involved in yet another "glory" of New York.
In 2008, if it be the will of the Eternal High Priest, the first of the "Prep" men will be ordained. On that happy occasion there will be no doubt whatever that Cathedral Prep is one of our authentic "glories."
