Browser Wars is a metaphorical term that refers to competitions for dominance in usage share in the web browser marketplace. The term is often used to denote two specific rivalries: the competition that saw Microsoft's Internet Explorer replace Netscape's Navigator as the dominant browser during the late 1990s and the erosion of Internet Explorer's market share since 2003 by a collection of emerging browsers including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, and Opera.
In more recent years, the introduction of HTML5, CSS 3 and extensive client-side scripting to the World Wide Web, as well as more widespread use of smartphones and other mobile devices for browsing the web, have added new dimensions and some new players, ensuring that boisterous browser battles continue on many fronts.

The World Wide Web is an Internet-based hypertext system invented in the late 1980s and early 1990s by Tim Berners-Lee. Berners-Lee wrote the first web browser WorldWideWeb, later renamed Nexus, and released it for the NeXTstep platform in 1991.
By the end of 1992 other browsers had appeared, many of them based on the libwww library. These included Unix browsers such as Line Mode Browser, ViolaWWW, Erwise and MidasWWW, and MacWWW/Samba for the Mac. Even though these browsers tended to be simple HTML viewers, relying on external helper applications to view multimedia content, they provided choice to users both in browsers and platforms.
Mosaic wars[edit]
|There are two ages of the Internet - before Mosaic, and after. The combination of Tim Berners-Lee's Web protocols, which provided connectivity, and Marc Andreesen's browser, which provided a great interface, proved explosive. In twenty-four months, the Web has gone from being unknown to absolutely ubiquitous.
—A Brief History of Cyberspace, Mark Pesce, ZDNet, October 15, 1995
Further browsers were released in 1993, including Cello, Arena, Lynx, tkWWW and Mosaic. The most influential of these was Mosaic, a multiplatform browser developed at National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). By October 1994, Mosaic was "well on its way to becoming the world's standard interface", according to Gary Wolfe of Wired.[1]
Several companies licensed Mosaic to create their own commercial browsers, such as AirMosaic and Spyglass Mosaic. One of the Mosaic developers, Marc Andreessen, founded Mosaic Communications Corporation and created a new web browser named Mosaic Netscape. To resolve legal issues with NCSA, the company was renamed Netscape Communications Corporation and the browser Netscape Navigator. The Netscape browser improved on Mosaic's usability and reliability and was able to display pages as they loaded. By 1995, helped by the fact that it was free for non-commercial use, the browser dominated the emerging World Wide Web.
Other browsers launched during 1994 included IBM Web Explorer, Navipress, SlipKnot, MacWeb, and Browse.[2]
In 1995, Netscape faced new competition from OmniWeb, WebRouser, UdiWWW, and Microsoft's Internet Explorer 1.0, but continued to dominate the market.
The first browser war[edit]
By mid-1995 the World Wide Web had received a great deal of attention in popular culture and the mass media. Netscape Navigator was the most widely used web browser and Microsoft had licensed Mosaic to create Internet Explorer 1.0,[3][4] which it had released as part of the Microsoft Windows 95 Plus! Pack in August.[5]
Internet Explorer 2.0 was released as a free download three months later. Unlike Netscape Navigator it was available to all Windows users for free, even commercial companies.[6] Other companies later followed and gave their browsers away for free.[7] Both Netscape Navigator and competitor products like InternetWorks, Quarterdeck Browser, InterAp, and WinTapestry were bundled with other applications to full internet suites.[7] New versions of Internet Explorer and Netscape (branded as Netscape Communicator) were released at a rapid pace over the following few years.
Development was rapid and new features were routinely added, including Netscape's JavaScript (subsequently replicated by Microsoft as JScript) and proprietary HTML tags such as
<blink> and
Internet Explorer began to approach feature parity with Netscape with version 3.0 (1996), which offered scripting support and the market's first commercial Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) implementation.
In October 1997, Internet Explorer 4.0 was released. The release party in San Francisco featured a ten-foot-tall letter "e" logo. Netscape employees showing up to work the following morning found the giant logo on their front lawn, with a sign attached that read "From the IE team ... We Love You". The Netscape employees promptly knocked it over and set a giant figure of their Mozilla dinosaur mascot atop it, holding a sign reading "Netscape 72, Microsoft 18" representing the market distribution.[8]
Internet Explorer 4 changed the tides of the browser wars. It was integrated into Microsoft Windows, which some[who?] considered technologically disadvantageous and an apparent exploitation of Microsoft's monopoly on the PC platform. Users were discouraged from using competing products because IE was "already there" on their PCs.[citation needed]
During these releases it was common for web designers to display 'best viewed in Netscape' or 'best viewed in Internet Explorer' logos. These images often identified a specific browser version and were commonly linked to a source from which the stated browser could be downloaded. These logos generally recognized the divergence between the standards supported by the browsers and signified which browser was used for testing the pages. In response, supporters of the principle that web sites should be compliant with World Wide Web Consortium standards and hence viewable with any browser started the "Viewable With Any Browser" campaign, which employed its own logo similar to the partisan ones.
Internet Explorer 5 & 6[edit]

Microsoft had three strong advantages in the browser wars.
One was resources: Netscape began with about 80% market share and a good deal of public goodwill, but as a relatively small company deriving the great bulk of its income from what was essentially a single product (Navigator and its derivatives), it was financially vulnerable. Netscape's total revenue never exceeded the interest income generated by Microsoft's cash on hand. Microsoft's vast resources allowed them to make IE available without charge, as the enormous revenues from Windows were used to fund its development and marketing. Netscape was commercial software for businesses but provided gratis for home and education users; Internet Explorer was provided gratis for all Windows and Macintosh users, cutting off a significant revenue stream: As it was told by Jim Barksdale, President and CEO of Netscape Communications: "Very few times in warfare have smaller forces overtaken bigger forces...".[9]
Another advantage was that Microsoft Windows had over 90% share of the desktop operating system market. IE was bundled with every copy of Windows; therefore Microsoft was able to dominate the market share easily as customers had IE as a default. In this time period, many new computer purchases were first computer purchases for home users or offices, and many of the users had never extensively used a web browser before, so had nothing to compare with and little motivation to consider alternatives; the great set of abilities they had gained with access to the Internet and the World Wide Web made any difference in browser features or ergonomics pale in comparison.
During the United States Microsoft antitrust case in 1998, Intel vice president Steven McGeady, a witness called by the government, said on the stand that a senior executive at Microsoft told him in 1995 of his company's intention to "cut off Netscape's air supply". A Microsoft attorney said that McGeady's testimony is not credible.[10] That same year, Netscape, the company, was acquired by America Online for US$4.2 billion. Internet Explorer became the new dominant browser, attaining a peak of about 96% of the web browser usage share during 2002, more than Netscape had at its peak.
The first browser war ended with Internet Explorer having no remaining serious competition for its market share. This also brought an end to the rapid innovation in web browsers; until 2006 there was only one new version of Internet Explorer since version 6.0 had been released in 2001. Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 was developed as part of Windows XP SP1, and integrated into Windows Server 2003. Further enhancements were made to Internet Explorer in Windows XP SP2 (released in 2004), including a pop-up blocker and stronger default security settings against the installation of ActiveX controls.
The second browser war[edit]
After the defeat of Navigator by Internet Explorer, Netscape open-sourced their browser code, and entrusted it to the newly formed non-profit Mozilla Foundation—a primarily community-driven project to create a successor to Netscape. Development continued for several years with little widespread adoption until a stripped-down browser-only version of the full suite was created, which included features, such as tabbed browsing and a separate search bar, both that had previously only appeared in Opera. The browser-only version was initially named Phoenix, but because of trademark issues that name was changed, first to Firebird, then to Firefox. This browser became the focus of the Mozilla Foundation's development efforts and Mozilla Firefox 1.0 was released on November 9, 2004. It then continued to gain an increasing share of the browser market until a peak in 2010, after which it has remained largely stable.
In 2003, Microsoft announced that Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 would be the last standalone version of its browser. Future enhancements would be dependent on Windows Vista, which would include new tools such as the WPF and XAML to enable developers to build extensive Web applications.
In response, in April 2004, the Mozilla Foundation and Opera Software joined efforts to develop new open technology standards which add more capability while remaining backward-compatible with existing technologies.[11] The result of this collaboration was the WHATWG, a working group devoted to the fast creation of new standard definitions that would be submitted to the W3C for approval.
Mid to late 2000s: Updated browsers released[edit]
On February 15, 2005, Microsoft announced that Internet Explorer 7 would be available for Windows XP SP2 and later versions of Windows by mid-2005.[12] The announcement introduced the new version of the browser as a major upgrade over Internet Explorer 6 SP1.
Opera had been a long-time small player in the browser wars, known for introducing innovative features such as tabbed browsing and mouse gestures, as well as being lightweight but feature-rich. The software, however, was commercial, which hampered its adoption compared to its free rivals until 2005, when the browser became freeware. On June 20, 2006, Opera Software released Opera 9 including an integrated source viewer, a BitTorrent client implementation and widgets. It was the first Windows browser to pass the Acid2 test. Opera Mini, a mobile browser, has significant mobile market share as well as being available on the Nintendo DS and Wii.
Microsoft released Internet Explorer 7 on October 18, 2006. It included tabbed browsing, a search bar, a phishing filter, and improved support for Web standards — all features already familiar to Opera and Firefox users. Microsoft distributed Internet Explorer 7 to genuine Windows users (WGA) as a high priority update through Windows Update.[13] Typical market share analysis showed only a slow uptake of Internet Explorer 7 and Microsoft decided to drop the requirement for WGA and made Internet Explorer 7 available to all Windows users in October 2007.[14] Throughout the two following years, Microsoft worked on Internet Explorer 8. On December 19, 2007, the company announced that an internal build of that version had passed the Acid2 CSS test in "IE8 standards mode" – the last of the major browsers to do so. Internet Explorer 8 was released on March 19, 2009. New features included accelerators, improved privacy protection, a compatibility mode for pages designed for older browsers[15] and improved support for various web standards. It is the last version of Internet Explorer to be released for Windows XP.
On October 24, 2006, Mozilla released Mozilla Firefox 2.0. It included the ability to reopen recently closed tabs, a session restore feature to resume work where it had been left after a crash, a phishing filter and a spell-checker for text fields. Mozilla released Firefox 3.0 on June 17, 2008,[16] with performance improvements, and other new features. Firefox 3.5 followed on June 30, 2009 with further performance improvements, native integration of audio and video, and more privacy features.[17]
On December 28, 2007, Netscape announced that support for its Mozilla-derived Netscape Navigator would be discontinued on February 1, 2008, suggesting its users migrate to Mozilla Firefox.[19] However, on January 28, 2008, Netscape announced that support would be extended to March 1, 2008, and mentioned Flock alongside Firefox as alternatives to its users.
During December 2009 and January 2010, StatCounter reported that its statistics indicated that Firefox 3.5 was the most popular browser, when counting individual browser versions, passing Internet Explorer 7 and 8 by a small margin.[21][22] This was the first time a global statistic has reported that a non-Internet Explorer browser version had exceeded the top Internet Explorer version in usage share since the fall of Netscape Navigator. This feat, which GeekSmack called the "dethron[ing of] Microsoft and its Internet Explorer 7 browser,"[23] could largely be attributed to the fact that it came at a time when IE 8 was replacing IE 7 as the dominant Internet Explorer version. No more than two months later IE 8 had established itself as the most popular browser version, a position which it still held as of March 2011. It should also be noted that other major statistics, such as Net Applications, never reported any non-IE browser version as having a higher usage share than the most popular Internet Explorer version, although Firefox 3.5 was reported as the third most popular browser version between December 2009 and February 2010, to be replaced by Firefox 3.6 since April 2010, each ahead of IE7 and behind IE6 and IE8.[24]
2010s–present: HTML5 beginnings and Presto rendering engine deprecation[edit]
In October 2010, StatCounter reported that Internet Explorer had for the first time dropped below 50% market share to 49.87% in their figures.[26] Also, StatCounter reported Internet Explorer 8's first drop in usage share in the same month.[27]
Google released Google Chrome 9 on February 3, 2011. New features introduced include: support for WebGL, Chrome Instant, and the Chrome Web Store.[28] The company created another seven versions of Chrome that year, finishing with Chrome 16 on December 15, 2011. The first version of Chrome available to the public in 2012 was Chrome 17, which was released on February 15, 2012. In April 2012, Google browsers (Chrome and Android) became the most used browsers on Wikimedia.[29] By May 21, 2012, StatCounter reported Chrome narrowly overtaking Internet Explorer as the most used browser in the world.[30] However, troughs and peaks in the market share between Internet Explorer and Chrome meant that Internet Explorer was slightly ahead of Chrome on weekdays up until July 4.[31] At the same time, Net Applications reported Internet Explorer firmly in first place, with Google Chrome almost overtaking Firefox as the second.[32]
Microsoft released Internet Explorer 9 on March 14, 2011. It featured a revamped interface, support for the basic SVG feature set, and partial HTML5 video support, among other new features. It only runs on Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows Phone 7. The company later released Internet Explorer 10 along with Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 in 2012, and an update compatible with Windows 7 followed in 2013. This version drops Vista and Phone 7 support. The release preview of Internet Explorer 11 was released on September 17, 2013. It supports the same desktops as its predecessor.
The concept of rapid releases established by Google Chrome prompted Mozilla to do the same for its Firefox browser. On June 21, 2011, Firefox 5.0 was the first rapid release for this browser, finished a mere six weeks after the previous edition.[33] Mozilla created four more whole-number versions throughout the year, finishing with Firefox 9 on December 20, 2011. For those desiring long term support, Mozilla made an Extended Support Release (ESR) version of Firefox 10 on January 31, 2012. Contrary to the regular version, a Firefox ESR receives regular security updates plus occasional new features and performance updates "for approximately one year", after which a 12-week grace period is given before discontinuing that version number. Those who continued to use the rapid releases with an active Internet connection were automatically updated to Firefox 11 on March 15, 2012.
During this era, all major web browsers implemented support for HTML5 video. Supported codecs, however, varied from browser to browser. Current versions of Android, Chrome and Firefox support Theora, H.264 and the VP8 version of WebM. Older versions of Firefox omitted H.264 due to it being a proprietary codec, but it was made available beginning in version 17 for Android and version 20 for Windows. Internet Explorer and Safari support H.264 exclusively, but the Theora and VP8 codecs can be manually installed on the desktop versions.
Given the popularity of WebKit for mobile browsers, Opera Software discontinued its own Presto engine in February 2013. The Opera 12 series of browsers is the last to use Presto. Its successors use Blink and WebKit instead.
The mobile browser war (2007–present)[edit]
Due to the rise in popularity of the iPhone and Google Android, WebKit has become the most dominant layout engine. This has caused Web developers for many major Web sites to use proprietary or experimental features that only work in WebKit-based Web browsers. Competing mobile Web browsers — namely Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera — have a poorer experience when viewing most mobile versions of Web sites[citation needed].
This has led to a Call For Action, from the co-chairman of the CSS Working Group at the W3C, to strongly encourage Web developers to use widely-supported Web standards in their Web sites.[34] Additionally, the competing browser vendors have taken action to add support for some WebKit experimental CSS properties.
In April 2013, Google announced that future versions of Chrome (versions 28 and beyond) would use the Blink layout engine, a fork of WebKit. One of the changes that Blink made to WebKit was the principle of not introducing new vendor prefixed CSS features, one of the chief ways web developers used experimental, non standard features that caused a lot of cross browser compatibility pains.[35]
Other browser competition[edit]
Microsoft Windows[edit]
Internet Explorer's usage share had been dropping since the mid-2000s decade.[36] By 2012, however, Net Applications estimate IE's share to have levelled out above 50% and slowly started to rise from there.[37] On the other hand, according to StatCounter, by June 2012 its usage share had fallen to second place behind Google Chrome, released less than four years previously in September 2008, which has since also eclipsed Mozilla Firefox, pushing it to third place.[30]
In March 2008, Apple released Safari 3.1, began including it as a pre-selected update in the Apple Software Update program[38] and its market share on Windows tripled.[39]As of 2011, it was in fourth place, followed by Opera.[40] Other browsers based on Internet Explorer's Trident layout engine, such as Maxthon, included features like tabbed browsing and were once popular but fell out of use when IE began adding such features itself from version 7 onwards.
Linux and Unix[edit]
The Unix-based Konqueror browser is part of the KDE project and is the primary competitor against Mozilla-based browsers (Firefox, Mozilla Application Suite/SeaMonkey, Epiphany, Galeon, etc.) for market share on Unix-like systems.[citation needed] Konqueror's KHTML engine is an API for the KDE desktop. Derivative browsers and web-browsing functionality (for example, Amarok has a Wikipedia sidebar that gives information about the current artist) based on KDE use KHTML.[41]
OS X[edit]
Safari is Apple's web browser for OS X, and also has the highest usage share on OS X.[42] The web browser is based on WebKit, a derivative of the KHTML engine. Other Mac browsers including iCab (since 4.0), OmniWeb (since 4.5), and Shiira, use the WebKit API, and many other Macintosh programs add web-browsing functionality through WebKit.[43] Mozilla Firefox and Opera Browser also have high usage on OS X.
Camino is a Mozilla-based Gecko browser for the OS X platform, and uses Mac's native Cocoa interface like Safari does, instead of Mozilla's XUL which is used in Firefox. It was initially developed by Dave Hyatt, until he was hired by Apple to develop Safari.
Embedded devices[edit]
Opera Mini is a popular web browser on mobile devices such as most Java ME enabled internet connected phones and smartphones because of its small footprint. It has also recently been released for the iPhone, iPod Touch and Android devices. Sony developed a mobile browser for their PSP, using Netfront's codebase. Sony's PlayStation 3 also includes a web browser. PC Site Viewer, the web browser included on many Japanese cellular phones, is based on Opera. In February 2006 it was announced that Nintendo "will release an add-on card" with a version of Opera for the Nintendo DS (Nintendo DS Browser).[44] This DS browser has since been criticized for its lack of Flash support and slowness.[45] Opera is also used as a web browser on the Wii console.
Nokia released a WebKit-based browser in 2005,[46] which comes with every Symbian S60 platform-based smartphone. On Nokia's N900 is MicroB, a Firefox derivate, preinstalled. It competes with Opera for the N900.
Windows Phone 7 came with a version of Internet Explorer Mobile based on a rendering engine that was said to be somewhere between Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8.[citation needed] Microsoft has since updated the layout engine to that of Internet Explorer 9. Windows Phone 8 uses a mobile version of Internet Explorer 10.
Windows Mobile comes with Internet Explorer Mobile by default and competes with Opera Mobile, Netfront, Iris, and Mozilla's Minimo, and lately the Skyfire browser (also available for Android, iOS, and Symbian).
MobileSafari, Apple's browser based on WebKit/KHTML, comes with iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad.
Android, Google's open-source OS for mobile devices, uses a browser based on WebKit. Since March 2010, Opera Mini has been available for Android.[47] Other browsers include Chrome for Android, Dolphin, Opera Mobile and Firefox 4. With the release of Android Jelly Bean, Chrome for Android is now being included as the default browser for future Android devices, replacing the previous WebKit version.

lyara Thai cuisine – Bella Butterfly
Unique dinner spot you will always remember. Each course is plated beautifully and comes out of the kitchen at a steady pace. Lyara is a place you visit once or twice a year and planning is necessary, There isn't a comparable experience or restaurant in America. Anyone who is planning to dine at Lyara should EXPECT good tasting Thai meal that is prepared to perfection, and it is not going to be your "typical Thai" food. This is ROYAL Thai, people! Lyara will gladly accommodate people with food allergies and vegetarians. It is NOT in a fabulous neighborhood and do not expect to hang out after you dine here. If you're going to complain about the cost of dinner at Lyara, then order some Thai delivery and save Lyara for the people who appreciate it and enjoy it!!!!! Yum, yum, yum
YUUUUUUMMMMMM – SO delicious. I love their food. Especially their coffee ice-cream donut esque dessert. The only reason I'm not giving a 5 is they keep the restaurant a little chilly, so dress warm! But definitely worth a night out.
YUM! best thai food EVER – I just picked up my to-go order and I am currently in the process of eating it. It is SOOOOOO yummy that I am taking a moment to write a review while it's still fresh in my mind~! I got the Panang Curry lunch combo (it comes with rice and pad thai) and was pleasantly surprised to see two fried spring rolls in here too! I'm not sure if this is usual, but it wasn't on the menu when I ordered so I'm HAPPY! ^.^ I would recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat~
Wonderful place to eat – Okay, so I love good eggplant but, put that together with a wondeful staff, spicy vegetarian food for my husband, food that all three of my children crave, you really can't beat this place!!
Honestly, we are a family who loves good food and we don't mind spending the money for good food. The best part of this place is that the price is right, the food is wonderful, the staff is amazing, the atmospher is outstanding and everyone in the family comes and leaves very satisfied. What more can i say??
Tasty food, great service – I'm fairly picky about Thai food, and Iyara is a great place to go. They put so much care into each dish that, even on the occasions when the food is just average, I leave feeling happy. (Little things like cutting carrots in the shape of hearts, etc.) The service is fantastic - not something I normally comment on, but they go above and beyond every time to make me feel welcome. Good som tum (papaya salad), good soups! I've never had a bad experience at this restaurant.
Best non-chain Thai on Eastside – You'll find some of the most if not THE most authentic Thai food on the Eastside (as much is possible here in the NW). Very convenient to Redmond Towncenter. If you don't see something on the menu and you are familiar with Thai food you might be able to get them to make it for you. They make the best Pad See Eew (stir fried wide rice noodles with broccoli) I have had in the Seattle area. They are also very kid friendly, but don't let that scare you away from a romantic night out too! Truly the best on the Eastside...hidden gem.
Best Thai On Eastside – We were pleasantly surprised to find such superbly prepared and presented Thai food. We are looking forward to returning to Iyara soon.
Great Thai Food! – If you like Thai food, you need to check out Iyara. It compares favorably with the best Thai restaurants in town. The decor is traditionally Thai, so being there, I almost felt like I was back visiting Thailand again. The garlic trout that I had was moist, succulent, delicately spiced, and very tasty. I can only believe that the rest of the menu is as tasty because I used to eat regularly at the previous incarnation of Iyara, which boasted the same chef.
The atmosphere is appropriate for the entire family, so swing by and check it out!
Editorial Review – Exotically decorated Thai restaurant near Redmond Town Center offers traditional dishes from curries to noodles; also has a sizeable seafood menu.
Great Thai place in Redmond! – I used to go to the former incarnation of this restaurant for lunch on occasion, and I always enjoyed my food then. When I went for dinner after the remodeling, I was really impressed with the excellent ambiance and delicious food. Pad Thai had fantastic flavor, and the beef in the Pad See Iw was nice and tender. It's nice to see this kind of quality that I haven't always gotten at some of the bigger chain restaurants in the area.

Steve Bowers Sr. Memorial Race Adds Extra $$ to HPT.Com Speedway
The regular weekly classes will all be in action for the BriggsAuto.Com Super Saturday Showdown Series; Washburn Tech Modifieds, Super 8 at Forbes Landing Factory Stocks, White Line CDL Training B Mods and the Casey's General Store Pure Stocks. This will be the 2nd year for this special event and it pays extra money in all of the classes. The Modified winner will come away with a cool $1,000 for their efforts!
Steve Bowers Sr. lost his life in a racing accident in 2009. Bowers was a typical racer. He loved to compete and he loved going fast. What a lot of people don't realize is that Bowers was also a family man. It meant a lot to him that he had the opportunity to go to the race track each and every week with his wife and sons.
The Bowers family partnered with HPT.Com Speedway a year ago in efforts to keep 'Big' Steve's memory alive with the Steve Bowers' Sr. Memorial Race. Last year's event was a success both on and off the track. The goal of keeping Steve's memory alive was accomplished.
Saturday night, the races will provide more than enough action to excite the most meager fans.
Last week Darron Fuqua drove to his 6th feature win of the season in the Modified division. Fuqua won going away last Saturday night and not only did he pick up the win, he found himself in a tie for the points lead with Cody Agler when the night ended.
Steve Herrick tied Dave Samuels with his 4th win of the season in the Factory Stock feature. Herrick added some cushion to his points lead and will look to double up again this Saturday night.
The B Mod feature event saw an old face return, Brian Murphy. Murphy was the 2010 B Mod Track Champion at HPT.Com Speedway and it's been awhile since he was in victory lane. Dalton Kirk still has a stranglehold on the top spot in the points, but there are a lot of races left.
Zach Henery is the hottest driver at HPT.Com Speedway in 2011. Last Saturday night, this hotshoe rolled to his 8th win of the season. This is the most wins in any class at the track. Will number 9 come this week or will another upstart take home the extra cash? Time will tell.
Summer start times are still in effect. Spectator gates open up at 6 p.m., hot laps will be at 6:45 p.m. and the racing goes green at 7:30 p.m.
Adult tickets are $10 and kids 12 and under are just $5. Discounted tickets can be purchased online at www.hpt.com.

Drogba-Torres blues for Di Matteo
Roberto Di Matteo was pondering the biggest selection dilemma of his managerial career as he plotted Barcelona's downfall in Chelsea's Champions League semi-final.
The interim Blues boss has to decide whether to stick with Didier Drogba for Wednesday night's first leg at Stamford Bridge or recall Fernando Torres for the crunch clash.
Based on current form and previous meetings with Barca, Drogba is the obvious choice.
But that would also be the case for Saturday's crucial Barclays Premier League game at Arsenal and the following Tuesday's return leg against Barcelona.
Chelsea's punishing schedule has so far seen Di Matteo give almost equal game time to Drogba and Torres and, after the former started in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final thrashing of Tottenham, it would appear something has to give in the coming week.
Whether that is on Wednesday or on Saturday or next Tuesday remains to be seen, but Drogba, who has long been used to being top dog at Stamford Bridge, has accepted that rotation is a fact of life for the rest of this season.
"It's new for me, but there's nothing bad about it," he said.
"The most important thing is for the team to win games and to go forward.
"Of course, I would like to play more, but I think the other players would like to play more as well, so I can't complain."
Drogba is not about to volunteer for a rest, however.
He added: "All these games now are very important for us, the ones in the league, the FA Cup final, the ones in the Champions League.
"That's why you sign for Chelsea, because you want to play all these games and this is what is really exciting for me."
Midfielder Frank Lampard's playing time under Di Matteo has seen him start two games in a row, miss the next, and then start the next two in a row.
If that sequence continues, he will be left out on Wednesday.
"I'm not going to be asked to be rested, no, no, no!" he said.
"I think we live right these days and the idea of another two or three days between the game and then playing Barcelona, if you can't get your body ready for that and your mind ready for that then I don't know how you can do anything.
"The manager will pick that team on its merits on Wednesday.
"We're fit and fresh and ready to go."
The 33-year-old fell out with the sacked Andre Villas-Boas over his lack of game time, but has been more willing to sit out matches under Di Matteo.
Lampard has previously suggested he would have bitten his tongue under Villas-Boas had Chelsea not been losing and Drogba said: "It's easier when you win games. The spirit is better when you win games.
"That's what we're doing at the moment and, so, fingers crossed - I hope we can continue."

Big year for private equity stocksFebruary 22, 2013: 11:56 AM ET
Carlyle's earnings miss aside, it's been quite a run for listed private equity firms.
FORTUNE -- Private equity firm shares have been on a year-long tear, even though yesterday's headlines were about declines caused by The Carlyle Group's (CG) earnings miss. Makes me feel much better about my advice last May, which was the only time I've even flirted with the hazardous world of stock-picking:
I think there's potential upside to private equity shares today. Almost every fund manager I speak with believes that harvesting has already begun, and that 2013 will be a bumper crop. Some of them may just be talking their books, but a recent increase in private-equity-backed IPO activity gives credence to their claims (Vantiv LLC, Rexnord Industries, Laredo Petroleum, to name a few). Plus, there is a giant pipeline of portfolio companies that, under more normal economic circumstances, would have been sold between 2009 and 2011.
When publicly traded companies are undervalued, it's often private equity firms that swoop in to take advantage of the discount. But it's highly unlikely that Blackstone or its peers will buy back their own outstanding shares, which means that the potential for returns is being left to everyday investors. As your friend, I suggest that you take a good, hard look.
Just take a look at where each of the following stocks opened this morning, as compared to where they closed on Feb. 22, 2012. And, keep in mind, this is in the context of each firm losing ground following the Carlyle announcement:
- Apollo Global Management (APO) +50.57%
$14.16 vs. $21.32
- The Blackstone Group (BX) +20.14%
$15.64 vs. $18.79
- The Carlyle Group (CG) +56.81%
$22 (IPO price from May 2012) vs. $34.50
- Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR) +17.1%
$14.97 vs. $17.53
Not too shabby...
As for Carlyle specifically, the Q4 earnings miss was largely caused by a deeper-than-expected decline in the rate of portfolio company valuation growth, from 7% in Q4 2011 to 4% in Q4 2012. It also chose to delay collecting carried interest on its current global buyout fund, thus negatively affecting distributable earnings.
Nomura analyst Glenn Schorr was among those who had expected higher earnings, but also said that following: Strong fundraising and realizations, which produced distributable earnings in line with consensus, though ENI missed due to lower-than consensus unrealized performance fees partly offset by better expenses (so just a timing issue with the realizations)."
Carlyle also continues to secure new capital commitments. David Rubenstein said on an analyst call that Carlyle now has closed on around $6 billion for its new flagship private equity fund, which has a $10 billion target.
He also said the following about fundraising: "We're finally sensing that institutional LPs are at a tipping point of wanting to deploy much more capital into the alternative investment space… We're also seeing more interest from high-net-worth individuals, and expect this trend to continue."
In other words, expect fee capital to keep flowing...

49ers vs. Packers: The playoff 'X' factors
This story originally published on
James brings things Packers didn't see in opener
Craig Massei/Bill Huber
Posted Jan 11, 2013
They had little or no impact back in September during the 49ers' 30-22 win over the Green Bay Packers in the season opener at Lambeau Field. But it could be quite different this time around for several players on both rosters who are now playing larger roles for their teams. Here's a look at the 'X' factors who could make a difference when the teams meet again in Saturday's NFC divisional playoff.
Frank Gore
Patrick Willis
Aaron Rodgers
Clay Matthews
, you know all the big names who will have key roles in this playoff showdown between NFL heavyweights. Here are six players who will be key performers on Saturday night at Candlestick Park that were not when these teams met in Week 1.
RB/KR LaMichael James:
James was inactive for the season opener in Green Bay and remained that way through the first 12 games of the season, making it appear that 2012 would be a redshirt year for San Francisco's second-round draft choice. Then backup running back
Kendall Hunter
tore his Achilles tendon during a Nov. 25 victory at New Orleans, opening not only a roster spot for James, but also a role for him in San Francisco's offense after disgruntled running back
Brandon Jacobs
was ineffective backing up Frank Gore in a Dec. 2 loss at St. Louis. Jacobs was later suspended, then released at the end of the season. James made his NFL debut Dec. 9 against Miami, returning the opening kickoff 34 yards. He has been dangerous returning kickoffs since, averaging 29.8 yards on his 14 returns, including a 62-yarder late in the fourth quarter at New England that swung the momentum back to San Francisco in that game. James gives the 49ers an element of explosiveness as a returner that the Packers didn't see in September, and he also provides the same as Gore's new backup. Hunter had 41 yards rushing as a complement to Gore against the Pack in September, and that role now belongs to James, who is cat-quick and can make defenders miss in the open field. The Packers are sure to see James returning kicks, getting some carries and perhaps a few passes coming his way out of the backfield, and he could make a difference.
DL Ricky Jean Francois:
Jean Francois saw little action and finished with zero tackles against the Packers in the opener, but that's highly likely to change in the rematch. A fourth-year veteran, Jean Francois has been a sturdy and valuable member of San Francisco's defensive line rotation the past three years, but it had most always been in a complementary reserve role until
Justin Smith
, the team's All-Pro starter at right tackle, suffered a partially-torn triceps early in the third quarter of San Francisco's Dec. 16 game at New England. Jean Francois stepped in for Smith in that game and had a pivotal sack of quarterback
Tom Brady
late in the fourth quarter, just the second sack of his career. Jean Francois finished with four tackles in the game, then came up huge starting in Smith's place the final two weeks of the season. Jean Francois had a career-high 10 tackles against Seattle on Dec. 23, then had seven tackles and his third career sack the next week in the season finale against Arizona. While he's no Justin Smith, the 295-pound Jean Francois is stout against the run and has been surprisingly effective providing pressure on passing downs. Smith is expected to return against the Packers wearing a protective brace, but his effectiveness and the amount he'll be able to play are in question. Regardless of Smith's role, Jean Francois' role is certain to be increased from the season opener, and he could become a key factor, particularly if Smith is unable to remain in the game because of his injury.
WR A.J. Jenkins:
To say that Jenkins' rookie season has been a disappointment wouldn't be an understatement. The Niners' first-round draft pick did not play in the season opener against the Packers, but at least he was in uniform – the only week during the team's first 11 games that Jenkins wasn't on San Francisco's inactive list. When valuable reserve receiver
Kyle Williams
was lost to a season-ending knee injury on Nov. 25, Jenkins moved up on the depth chart, but he did not play despite being active the next week at St. Louis, then never saw a pass come his way in sparse action the next two games before being inactive again in Week 16. Jenkins then dropped the only pass that came his way this season in Week 17 against Arizona. But with Williams and No. 2 wideout
Mario Manningham
– San Francisco's second-leading receiver this season – both lost on injured reserve, Jenkins and Ted Ginn Jr. are the only wide receivers on San Francisco's roster behind starters
Michael Crabtree
Randy Moss
. Ginn, who had just two receptions for 1 yard this season, seems to have fallen out of San Francisco's passing-game plans completely. That could mean an opportunity for Jenkins to get on the field and do some damage against the Packers, particularly if the game becomes a shootout and/or the 49ers fall behind and have to pass. Jenkins is athletic, can get open and can do things with the ball in his hands. If he's left in single-coverage, the 49ers could go his way, and Jenkins could become a secret weapon that the Packers – or anybody else – aren't expecting and don't really know much about.
RT Don Barclay:
When these teams met in Week 1, the Packers had standout
Bryan Bulaga
, their 2010 first-round pick, at right tackle. Bulaga, however, was lost to a season-ending hip injury at midseason. The Packers tried their starting left guard,
T.J. Lang
, at that spot, to mixed results. When Lang went down against Minnesota in Dec. 2, the coaches had no choice but to give Barclay a shot. An undrafted rookie out of West Virginia, Barclay looked like just another hard-working, no-talent guy during the first couple weeks of training camp. Barclay, however, found his footing, made the team and has wound up playing far better than anyone could have expected. He's given up five sacks in his six games, according to ProFootballFocus.com. While he's been up-and-down in pass protection, he's proven to be an effective run blocker. Barclay will be challenged by
Ray McDonald
, who must feel left out on a defense full of Pro Bowlers. The 49ers' starting left end had an outstanding game in Week 1, with three hurries and three run stops. Terribly underrated, he's PFF's ninth-ranked 3-4 defensive end. He's got a combined 40 sacks, hits and hurries. That's nine more than the other starting end, the highly regarded Justin Smith.
RB DuJuan Harris:
The Packers, even with all of last year's offensive fireworks, entered this season knowing they had to build a decent running game. To that end, they signed free agent
Cedric Benson
, who was coming off three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Benson would be the starter, with
James Starks
(an X-factor during the 2010 Super Bowl run),
Alex Green
(a 2011 third-round pick) and
Brandon Saine
(a promising second-year player) in reserve. None of those players figure to be a factor on Saturday night, with Benson on injured reserve, Starks having missed the last few games and Green having fallen out of the rotation. Instead, it will be two guys who weren't on the roster until December. Harris was signed to the practice squad on Oct. 24, promoted to the active roster on Dec. 1 and has emerged as the No. 1 back. Old warhorse
Ryan Grant
, who the Packers bypassed this summer in favor of Benson, was signed on Dec. 5 and provides another look. An undrafted rookie out of Troy in 2011, the 5-foot-7 1/8 Harris rushed for 42 yards in five games for the Jaguars last year. He was released during camp this summer, claimed off waivers by Pittsburgh and released again a few days later. He took a job selling cars until the Packers signed him to the practice squad. Incredibly for a team that has shown an overwhelming preference for big backs over the years, the shifty and surprisingly powerful Harris has emerged as the featured back the last two weeks. Barring a turnover, there's little reason to believe the Packers will go in another direction. He had 87 total yards against Minnesota in Week 17 and 100 in the rematch against the Vikings last week. Harris has excellent vision, doesn't shy away from contact and gets to top speed in a hurry. That acceleration has made him a nice option in the long-forgotten checkdown game. He hasn't fumbled in 56 touches.
CB Casey Hayward:
The Packers' second-round pick was one of the SEC top ballhawks at Vanderbilt and showed that nose for the ball throughout training camp. Still, the Packers — so worried about the Niners' run game — started the aggressive
Jarrett Bush
at cornerback in Week 1. Since playing just three snaps in that game, Hayward has assumed a key role in the secondary as the nickel (slot) cornerback. In fact, Hayward played so well in the slot that veteran Charles Woodson, the game's best slot defender for several years, was relegated to safety upon his return last week from a broken collarbone. Hayward led all rookies with six interceptions and was named to the Pro Football Writers Association/Pro Football Weekly all-rookie team this week. Hayward plays with uncommon poise and instincts for a rookie. According to ProFootballFocus.com's film study, Hayward has allowed a 31.1 passer rating — the best in the league by a considerable margin. In limited action, he broke up a team-high 24 passes (by the coaches' count). He did not commit a penalty. Importantly for this game, Hayward has shown he won't shy away from contact — a must for the nickel role in
Dom Capers
' scheme. The Packers stuck mostly to their base defense in Week 1 and got chewed up by
Alex Smith
and the Niners' passing game. If Capers adjusts and plays more nickel, Hayward will have a major role as a line-of-scrimmage run defender.

Thank You!
No more LESS support in the latest version. But "LESS" is there on the product page, there's even a LESS-settings tab in the options. Thanks for ruining our work process.
Amazing extension!
Nice tools, but unfortunately Typescript is left out of the recent update. So a lot of the functionality I used is not available anymore.
Great tool!
You Must Have It!
Useful add on.
This says is updated today.It fails to install in VS 2012 Express
Mads Kristensen November 20 2013
| Edit |
Unfortunately, VS Express doesn't support 3rd party extension. It's not a limitation of Web Essentials
Very USeful !!!
Dropping support for TypeScript (without plastering that "little" detail all over the download page) has just cost me 4 wasted hours and sent me full circle back to the old Web Essentials.
WebEssentials 2012 is a stellar extension. Being able to collapse JavaScript between {curly brackets} is very useful.
Good plugin although the CoffeeScript functionality doesn't compile the scripts and crashes vs2012 every time I try :(
It's very nice
Overall nice, but last update broke markdown support in VS2012. I can't edit the files anymore. Having to use npp++. :-[
Love it. All the things missing in Visual Studio are right here. You need this.
very nice
After upgraded to the 3.0 version, I have to downgrade it back to the older version just to keep the TypeScript support alive.

When asked who owns his company's stock, CFO David Bronson laughs. "I wish I knew," he says. Despite an active investor-relations program at the company, medical-supply distributor PSS/World Medical, plenty of shares change hands without Bronson ever knowing who is buying or selling. "I don't understand why investors get to know what we're doing but we don't get to know what they're doing," he says. "How does that promote an efficient market?"
Many companies find themselves in the same maddening position. After years of increasing demands for more transparency about corporate results and practices — most of which have been met — there remains a fundamental disconnect in shareholder relations: many investors are simply anonymous. "We have to disclose everything there is to disclose," says Brooke Wagner, vice president of corporate communications at Indevus Pharmaceuticals. "Yet we're not allowed to know who owns us."
While investment managers with more than $100 million in assets must report their holdings after the end of a quarter, that information is stale and frequently irrelevant by the time companies ever see it, thanks to the speed of the markets. There is also little oversight of the process, which means investors often neglect to file in a timely manner, particularly if they don't want to be identified. Other investors deliberately structure their funds to avoid triggering reporting requirements, maintaining just under the minimum number of assets or establishing multiple small funds to avoid reporting.
This creates a host of problems for finance executives and investor-relations teams, who are eager to communicate with — or at the very least identify — their shareholders. While most of the respondents to a new survey of finance executives and IR officers (IROs) conducted jointly by CFO magazine and the National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI) said they were at least "familiar" with their shareholder base, it's clear that familiarity is not enough. Instead, CFOs and IROs insist that specific knowledge of their shareholders would allow them to understand investors' goals, to better explain movements in their stock price, and to determine which of the many investors who contact their companies warrant the CFO's or CEO's valuable time. Perhaps most important, that knowledge can help them avoid being blindsided by one of the growing ranks of activist investors.
Cat and Mouse
But actually identifying stockholders is like "grasping for straws in the wind," says IR consultant Trudy Self. Part of the problem is that the rules to ensure transparency are woefully out of date. The Securities and Exchange Commission first drafted Section 13F, which requires investors with more than $100 million in assets under management to disclose their positions within 45 days of the end of each quarter, in 1975. That was long before the proliferation of hedge funds, electronic markets, and algorithmic trading.
Today, by the time a quarter closes, "an investor can build a position and liquidate it, build it and liquidate it, and you'd never know they were there," says Robert Weiner, vice president of investor relations at PSS. And that's particularly true in active segments like biotech. "We review the 13F ownership updates from Nasdaq each quarter as they go through," says Eileen McIntyre, senior director of corporate communications at Cubist Pharmaceuticals. But by that point, she says, "it's possible that the holdings of some hedge funds have already been sold."

Portsmouth v City Ladies: Preview
- 28 February 2013 13:46
- Posted by @NieldyMCFC / Words by @footykev
City Ladies make the lengthy trip south to Portsmouth this weekend as they look to progress into the last eight of the Premier League Cup.
Following on from progression into the Women's FA Cup 5th Round, City will be looking to put up another resolute team performance to secure a safe passage to the next round of this competition.
Pompey will be looking to get back to winning ways after being knocked out of the FA Cup by Yeovil Town. However, the blues know they will be a different proposition when they face them this Sunday.
This being the last of the 2nd Stage ties it's league action elsewhere in the National Division, as Sunderland looking to extend their lead in the table take on City's previous opponents Coventry. Both Leeds and Watford will be trying to keep in touch with the Black Cats as they face Charlton and Aston Villa respectively.
Looking ahead to the trip Leigh Wood spoke to us after training:
"After last week's performance against Coventry, we go into this weekend's game with confidence high, knowing that if we work hard for one another and show good quality on the ball we can cause teams problems at this level.
"Having already played Portsmouth this season we know we will be in for a tough game. We have set ourselves targets this season and one is to perform well in the League Cup and go further than we did last season, so we will be going there looking to win the game and progress to the quarter finals".
The match will kick off at 1pm at Havant & Waterlooville FC, Martin Road, PO9 5TH. As ever you can follow exclusive LIVE match updates on twitter @MCLFC

Uglies : Shay's story

What other readers are saying about this title:
KaliO said:
The first book of the Uglies series was published in 2005, three years before The Hunger Games. But a graphic novel version has been released, and the new story packs just as much punch. In the original Uglies, Tally eagerly waits her sixteenth birthday, when, through the miracle of her society's high-tech plastic surgery, she will become beautiful. As a Pretty, her only goal in life will be the pursuit of a good time. But then Tally's best friend Shay unexpectedly refuses her makeover, running off instead to the Smoke, an outside colony of Uglies. If Tally doesn't spy on the Smoke, she won't be allowed to become Pretty. The graphic novel version tells Shay's side of the story—her attraction to the prankish Uglies gang calling itself "The Crims," her growing dissatisfaction with the status quo, her friends' desertion to Pretty Town, and her persuasive (except to Tally) arguments against becoming Pretty. Shay is a born rebel—much like a certain tribute from District 12—and the story from her point of view becomes something darker, more active, with the consequences of the characters' actions even more significant. The manga-like artwork provides a light touch to a story that becomes more engrossing with each new image.

Looks like the just-released Apple TV software update contains strings referencing Apple TV 3,2, an as-yet unreleased hardware variant of the Apple TV 3,1, or the 3rd generation Apple TV with 1080p support that Apple released last March. The code name, J33I, as opposed to last year's simple J33, also suggest only the most minor of differences.
MacRumors's Erik Silvka suggests the I might stand for "international", and represent a version of the current Apple TV updated for all those new countries that just got iTunes media content. That certainly sounds reasonable.
No word yet on when Apple will launch the update, but it certainly doesn't sound event-worthy all on its own.
Source: ios.e-lite.org (version numbers), via MacRumors
FYI, it seems this update killed the Remote app on the iPad. Either that, or the iOS 6.1 update did it, but since the app still works fine on the iPhone, I suspect Apple TV is the culprit.
Apple's Discussion boards show others with the same problem.
Edit - Oops, wrong thread.
Hopefully a fix will come.

For All Spinning® Enthusiasts
You'd think otherwise?
04/20/2011 6:30 am
This is going to be a completely tangential post that has nothing, necessarily, to do with exercise so much as an observation a friend made. For me, it had always stood to reason that because medical doctors work in the field of health, they would exercise, eat right, and be healthy given they know the pitfalls of not doing so. A friend of mine commented to me, though, that this wasn?t always the case?because a medical doctor?s lifestyle can be so hectic and because they are always so busy taking care of themselves, sometimes they neglect self-care. This was an incredibly interesting point to me because it made me stop and think: ?if someone in the industry of advocating health and being well doesn?t have the time to take care of themselves, what does it mean for the rest of us?!? Now, this is certainly not to say that all doctors don?t take care of themselves, but it saddened me a little because really?what does this mean for the general population who isn?t well educated on the benefits of health (when those educated on it, don?t have the chance to care for themselves?). Just something that I?m wrestling with. It?s no help that I?m always salivating at fast food commercials too! Darn marketing ploys! -JuneShare

President Obama to Visit Three Universities to Discuss Student Loan Rate
This article is part of our campaign on Student Debt. Check out more reporting, research, and actions on Student Debt →
Unless Congress takes action soon, more than 7.4 million students will be higher interest rates on their federal student loans come July 1.
In an effort to push Congress to take action and prevent the subsidized Stafford loan rate from doubling this summer, President Obama plans to visit three universities next week to "speak with students about the critical need for Congress to act." He will visit the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill, the University of Colorado–Boulder, and the University of Iowa.
"For each year Congress allows the rate to double, the average student with these loans racks up an additional $1,000 in debt," according to a press release from the White House.
(Student: Congress, Don't Let My Loan Rates Double)
The Obama Administration said it believes in rewarding the hard work and responsibility of students by keeping loan rates low to give them "a fair shot at an affordable college education, the skills they need to find a good job, and a clear path to middle class."
The White House is also kicking off a social media campaign around the issue using Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ with the hashtag #DontDoubleMyRate.
Leor Reef is a journalism intern with Campus Progress.

Hockeytown is synonymous with good beer and good times, so why should the BrewHaHa be any different? The event starts by teasing the palate with a firkin happy hour, which will include three 4-ounce servings of custom brews made exclusively for the event. Following that will be an optional tour of the Joe and a five-course gourmet meal with beer pairings. In addition, MotorCity Casino Hotel is offering a special rate with complimentary transportation to and from the event.
The first DMAs were held in 1992, and since their inception, they've featured some of Detroit's most notable artists onstage, including such national acts as Eminem, Kid Rock, Martha Reeves, Ted Nugent, Smokey Robinson and Insane Clown Posse. However, regional performers make up the majority of talented nominees, and the 2014 award season looks exciting with a promising list of performers in categories that range from industrial to R&B.
The San Francisco trio's experimental, freeweheeling take on guitar-based pop (punctuated by frontwoman Satomi Matsuzaki's crazed, childlike vocal delivery) has made them a favorite of the likes of Pitchfork for years. Call it art rock, call it no wave, call it indie prog, call it whatever — with every release the band attempts to sound completely different, and in that inconsistency they are nothing if not consistent (hell, the band is notorious for sounding completely different at the end of a song than they did at the begining). It's fun, yet difficult stuff — right at home in an art museum.

With the warmth of spring comes outdoor drinking season, and the Majestic needs your help celebrating the opening of the Alley Deck, with tasty drinks, delicious eats and live jams from the local retro band the Highballs.

Defensive back Jonathan Jones from Carrollton (Ga.) High School committed to Auburn during the weekend.
Jones chose Auburn over Mississippi State and Georgia. Other schools to offer include Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Boston College, Illinois and Stanford.
"I liked everything about Auburn, from the winning tradition to the coaching staff, along with the proximity from home," Jones told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Coach (Gene Chizik) made it feel like one big family at Auburn, and that's one thing I really liked."
Jones is Auburn's 14th commitment for the class of 2012.

Only 23% of Americans Prefer a Female Boss
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) Women are taking their place in the C-suite, and more Americans than ever are glad they are. A new Gallup poll says if Americans were taking a new job and had their choice, they would still prefer a male boss. But nearly one-quarter (23%) said they would choose to work for a woman, and that's the highest percentage since the survey began in 1953.
Interestingly, more than half of men (51%) said they had no preference.
Gallup says the proportion of Americans who prefer a female boss has increased by 18 percentage points over the past six decades, while there has been a 31-point decline in the percentage preferring a male boss.
Women exhibit emotional intelligence
Cheryl Eaton, a management professor at Marlboro College Graduate School in Marlboro, Vt., as well as the founder of Wild Genius, a branding and innovation group, believes the trend represents a positive change for the American workplace.
"Women are more likely to exhibit emotional intelligence in the work place and so are more likely to support the whole human as managers," Eaton says. "They are more apt to be human themselves -- show their emotions and their vulnerabilities, making them more approachable as managers. Women are more likely to collaborate themselves, and create a collaborative culture; reducing competition and making the workplace feel more safe."
There is an increasing demand for female executives, according to Kim Shepherd, CEO of Decision Toolbox, a recruiting firm based in Irvine, Calif.
"I have been seeing a softening trend in leadership in the workplace," she said. "More and more hiring managers have been slyly requesting managers 'in touch with their feminine side.' Leaders who can provide vision that comes from their hearts as well as their heads are coming into fashion."
And Shepherd believes there are even more reasons for the expanding trend.
"Women seem more apt at multitasking and bring a maternal element to their managerial role. With the emergence of social media, the workplace is becoming a more social place," Shepherd said. "Work-life balance is now a demand rather than a wish and female bosses are quicker to understand this dynamic."
The results are "rather alarming"
But Stacy Janicki, director of account management for Carmichael Lynch, an advertising agency based in Minneapolis, believes the results are "rather alarming," considering that more people would still rather work for a male boss.
"The current numbers may speak purely to what employees are conditioned to expect or what they've had the most exposure to," Janicki said. "While females are now evenly represented in the workforce overall, women are still under-represented on a leadership level."
"Employees often have many bosses over the course of their careers -- some good, some bad," she adds. "It is safe to assume they've had a disproportionate number of male bosses. If they've had less frequent exposure to female managers then, when a female boss fails to meet expectations, workers may make sweeping assumptions, based on gender, instead of just responding to that particular individual. With men, workers have enough experiences to form a bell curve of expectations against which male bosses are measured."

It was easy to order and John was great at helping me out with getting it on the day and confirming the design. Very attentive!
This is a name-brand quality product, not a "knock-off" brand that will fall apart after one or two washings. The embroidery was done in a neat, attractive professional manner that I will be proud to wear.
Looks good and very professional
I loved the shirts.
Who cares it's just a shirt. But Linda was great. She took my call at her home and was heading out to a hockey game and stopped and finished my order. Great service.
Sizing and fit of the shirts. Embroidered logo looks great!
The products materials
Exactly as ordered. Quality was perfect.
I was buying random marketing itmes locally and have found the price is better and the quality is matched by Branders. I will continue to utilize Branders.
Very good quality for the price! We did not have a logo imprinted. Our group was pleased with the shirts. Randolph was very helpful and seemed concerned that everything was exacty as we wanted it.
The flexibility in sizes available is great. We also appreciated the classic design and fit.
