I have seen a lot of questions on this site asking about updating ATI and Nvidia graphics for laptops, with some very good solutions for them, however I have not seen any questions/answers for people only have Intel integrated graphics.
I have a HP Pavilion dv4-1465dx laptop, according to HP the latest Intel graphics available for a "Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family" is version
220.127.116.114 D from 6/19/2009, however according to Intel the latest for the same faimily is
188.8.131.525 released on 10/19/2011.
Is there any way to use tweaked or replacement drivers with Intel like you can with ATI and Nvidia?
I am running Windows Visa x64.
I forgot to mention (as I figured anyone who has tried updating laptop drivers would have already know) the drivers by Intel will not install and tell me to go to my PC's manufacturer to get the latest drivers.

For those of you intending to retire in a couple of years, and need some income - Look at ACAS. Currently selling at a nice discount of 33% ($4.36/share) from net asset value, it is earning about $3.44 per diluted share. While it is not CURRENTLY paying dividends, that is an abnormality due to the high tax losses of the fiscal crisis. Expecting DIVIDENDS on the order of $3.50/share in a couple of years is NOT a fantasy. At that time, a net asset value on the order of about $20/share, and share prices of well over $20.00 per share are very possible. In the past, when paying dividends, as a Busness Development Corporation, this stock sold at 2Xbook

Hi, I'm looking to make guest blogging easier on my WordPress blog. Basically, I want to allow new authors to register, then manually upgrade their status to "author."
Once their upgraded to the author role, I only want them to be able to save drafts. I've seen this on another blog that I recently wrote a guest post for. I don't want them to be able to do anything else that the author role typically allows such as edit, delete, or even publish their own posts.
Is their a plugin that will allow me to set author roles or is there another way that I can do this?

Diabetes Health Center
Type 1 Diabetics Have More to Worry About Than Previously Thought
Mar. 23, 2000 (Eugene, Ore.) -- A substantial number of people with type 1 diabetes also have a condition called insulin resistance, which dramatically increases their risk of developing heart disease. Fortunately, physicians can evaluate who is most likely to have insulin resistance by doing some routine tests, according to a new study published in the April issue of the journal Diabetes, a journal of the American Diabetes Association.
There are two major types of diabetes -- type 1 and type 2. Type 2 diabetes generally occurs in older and/or obese patients; it is diagnosed when the body can no longer properly control blood sugar levels because it can't respond appropriately to insulin, a hormone required for the control of sugar in the body. This process is generally referred to as insulin resistance or regulation
On the other hand, type 1 diabetes was thought to be a much simpler concept. It occurs when the body simply doesn't make enough insulin. Insulin resistance was not thought to be a part of type 1 diabetes, but perhaps it is.
"Insulin resistance does play a role in type 1 diabetes," says Katherine Williams, MD, MPH. "In the past, the focus in this disease has been on the pancreas not producing insulin. There hasn't been much emphasis on an additional problem: that some people are also not responding to insulin." Williams is an instructor in medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and the clinical investigator on the study.
"We have identified a subgroup of patients with type 1 diabetes who [also] have insulin resistance and therefore are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. They probably need special treatment such as increased exercise, weight loss, and possibly [medication]," says Trevor Orchard, MBBCh, MMS, senior author of the article.
Additional research is needed to confirm the study's results, Orchard says. "Meanwhile, we think the major risk factors identified here -- waist-hip ratio, [high blood pressure], and a family history of type 2 diabetes -- are important predictors of the risk of heart disease in type 1 diabetics." Orchard is professor of medicine, epidemiology, and pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health.

A Taut, Last-Minute Stretch to Save an Airline
By EDWARD WONG and MICHELINE MAYNARD
Published: April 27, 2003
A dozen or so men walked out of the Hyatt Regency by the Dallas airport last Wednesday night holding in their hands the fate of the world's largest airline.
They were tired and anxious and hoarse, having spent 12 straight hours bargaining at a conference table in the hotel's basement. Over their heads, the silver jets of American Airlines veered toward the runways, doing the work of the very company they were trying to save.
One man, Donald J. Carty, walked from the hotel undoubtedly thinking ahead to his next meeting, this one with American's board of directors. Not only was the future of the airline at stake, but so was his job as the company's chairman and chief executive.
The leaders of American's three unions drove off to catch some sleep before the next morning's conference calls, when they would try to sell a new set of wage and benefit concessions to their boards.
What happened in that hotel, and the paths that diverged from it, ultimately pulled American Airlines back from the brink of bankruptcy while ending Mr. Carty's career at the company after more than two decades. The boards of all three unions agreed by Friday morning to accept $1.62 billion in annual wage and benefit cuts. Mr. Carty resigned at American's board meeting. Gerard J. Arpey, the 44-year-old president and chief operating officer, was promoted to chief executive, while Edward A. Brennan, a director at American and former chairman and chief executive of Sears, Roebuck, became chairman.
In one sense, the recent events that led to the fiery clash between Mr. Carty and union leaders were unexpected because Mr. Carty had tried to improve labor relations during his tenure as chief executive. And just less than two weeks ago, the unions had come around to meeting him on substantial concessions.
But in another sense, the conflict was a consequence of the bursting of the late-1990's economic bubble that has wreaked havoc at many big companies. To avoid bankruptcy, American had to ask workers to take cuts to make up for the excessive growth and wage hikes it encouraged before 2001. Yet, the company continued to dole out what many people perceived as lavish pay to its top executives, then hid some of the benefits during negotiations, aware perhaps of how abhorrent Enron-era corporate behavior had become to average wage-earners.
The outrage first exploded a week and a half ago, when workers learned that Mr. Carty had hid from union leaders new executive benefits while he was negotiating for deep concessions. The benefits -- so-called retention bonuses paid to seven executives and a $41 million pretax payment to a protected executive pension trust fund -- had been approved by American's board last year, but not disclosed until the company made a securities filing late on April 15, just after two unions had already voted to take concessions and a third was finishing its vote.
Infuriated, the Transport Workers Union and the Association of Professional Flight Attendants said they would hold new votes, while the Allied Pilots Association refused to sign off on the concessions.
Mr. Carty retracted the cash bonuses on April 18 and apologized publicly last Monday, although he said the company would keep the $41 million payment in the executive pension trust fund. The unions were still fuming. Without their approval of concessions expected to take effect May 1, the airline -- which lost $1.04 billion in the first quarter -- edged toward bankruptcy.
On Tuesday afternoon, Representative Martin Frost, a Democrat in the Dallas area, got a call from James Little, president of the ground workers' union at American. Could Congressman Frost call a meeting of all the parties and act as a mediator? Mr. Little asked, as Mr. Frost later recalled. American executives ''immediately jumped at the chance,'' he said.
The groups walked into the Hyatt around 9 the next morning. Mr. Frost and three other local members of Congress first met with union leaders for an hour in the Meteor Room in the basement. The union leaders said they were angry that Mr. Carty had put them in an untenable position with their workers by duping them during negotiations.
''I ultimately suggested to them, 'You don't have time for another vote,' '' Mr. Frost said. '' 'You can't take a 30-day vote. The company can't survive with the uncertainty.' ''
The union leaders then left the room. In came Mr. Carty, Mr. Arpey and a couple of other managers. Mr. Carty admitted to the members of Congress that he had made a big mistake, Mr. Frost said, and wanted to find a way to work it out.
All of the parties sat down at the conference table at 11 a.m. and began talking. The union leaders told Mr. Carty he had to give them something they could take back to their members, Mr. Frost said. An hour later, the executives and union leaders told the members of Congress they were ready to negotiate among themselves.
Mr. Frost said that a few of the union officials said they wanted Mr. Carty to step down but none of the unions pushed for that.

Army Chief in Ladakh to review security situation
By PTI - NEW DELHI
Published: 14th September 2013 08:15 PM
Last Updated: 14th September 2013 08:15 PM
Against the backdrop of increasing incidents of Chinese incursions, Army Chief Gen Bikram Singh is in Ladakh Saturday to take stock of the security situation there.
During the day-long visit, the Army Chief will take stock of the situation in the Ladakh sector, which is the area of responsibility of the Leh-based 14 Corps, Army officials said here.
The visit of the Army Chief to Ladakh comes at a time when concerns have been raised over the increasing incidents of intrusions by the PLA in Indian areas and face-offs between the troops of the two sides.
The two countries are also discussing mechanisms to avoid flare ups between the two sides at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) while patrolling.

True Things (Adults Don't Want Kids to Know)
True Things (Adults Don't Want Kids to Know)
Atheneum Books for Young Readers, Hardcover, 9781416986119, 176pp.
Publication Date: October 19, 2010
Meet Amelia Louise McBride. She was forced to move out of Manhattan after her parents decided to get divorced, and is now living in a small town. She's survived being the new kid, multiple trips to the principal's office, and even her first kiss. But it remains to be seen if she'll survive turning eleven!
The sixth volume starts with a bang: a huge birthday party featuring surprise guests and a special song from Aunt Tanner! It all seems too good to be true, until it turns out . . . it is. Suddenly, Amelia's friends are fighting all the time. She gets the worst report card of her life. And when she finally musters the guts to tell a certain boy how she feels about him, she brutally learns why it's called a "crush." Aunt Tanner would know just what to do—if she were around. But with her new album and maybe a new boyfriend, she doesn't seem to have time for Amelia anymore.
There are some tough lessons to learn when you're eleven, and things may not always turn out as planned. But who says that has to be a bad thing?
Jimmy Gownley began writing and drawing comics at the age of fifteen. He is an advocate for kids comics, having co-founded the organization Kids Love Comics, which works to promote comic books and graphic novels as a valuable tool for literacy and education in schools, libraries, and at home. He lives with his wife Karen and their twin daughters, Stella and Anna, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
"Gownley's clear line drawings have plenty of character expression and humor in this seventh series installment--the fight scenes jump off the page with bold lettering and facial expressions. Readers will easily identify with Amelia and her growing pains." --Publishers Weekly

My understanding is that both of these create a NSMutableString, only the first one is owned by the system and the second one is owned by me (i.e. I need to release it). Is there any particular reason why I should use one or the other, on the face of it it seems easier to use the first? Also is the first better as it gives the compiler a sense of size?
NSMutableString *newPath = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:42];
NSMutableString *newPath = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
I see a lot a declarations written on two lines (i.e.)
NSMutableString *newPath;
newPath = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:42];
Personally I prefer the one-liner, is this just another example personal style?

Most women experience an irregular period at least once in their life. Most often, this can occur because stress, weight loss or gain, fatigue, and other difficult situations or lifestyle habits. Additionally, some types of birth control can affect the regularity of a menstrual cycle. Keep reading to know more about irregular periods and birth control pills.
What Are Irregular Periods?
Irregular periods are periods that do not occur between 21 and 35 days, and last 3 to 7 days. However, every woman is different and typically knows what a normal cycle is for her.
They are many factors that influence irregular periods and most are caused by hormonal imbalance. Birth control pills work by changing the levels of hormones in a woman's body, so it is common for a woman to have irregular cycles or to even stop having a period while taking some types of birth control pills.
To indentify if you are suffering from irregular periods, use a chart to keep track of your cycle. Mark down the first day of your last period and the first day of the next, and continue this process for the next month.
Do Birth Control Pills Affect Irregular Periods?
The answer is yes. For many women, birth control can alter the length of the cycle, duration, frequency, and the flow. Birth control pills can change the hormone levels in your body causing your body to react differently and causing menstruation to happen at different times. There are many different types of birth control pills with different degrees of potency. You should talk to your doctor to find out which pill is right for you.
Treatments for Irregular Periods While Taking Birth Control
It can take time for your body to get used to the changes that birth control pills produce. The side effects from the birth control pills can sometimes cause feelings of dizziness, headaches, and stomachaches.
There are few lifestyle changes that you can make while adjusting to the birth control pills, like practicing stress-relieving techniques and increasing healthy food intake.
Also, there are certain alternative medicines out there that can help a woman cope with the changes in her body. Alternative medicines cannot work as birth control, but they can balance your hormones and help you manage uncomfortable symptoms like cramps.
Finally, if nothing else seems to work, certain medications can help control your irregular periods. However, these should always be undertaken with the help of your doctor.

EXCL. PREVIEW: "Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps" #1 Enforces 'Sinestro's Law'
Comic Books
Legal | The creator of the Islamic superhero comic The 99 says he hasn't been officially notified of a reported ban of the animated adaptation of his comic in Saudi Arabia. "Nobody ever contacted me, nobody ever asked me any questions," Naif Al Mutawa says. There have been numerous Twitter campaigns against me for a while now and so for me it's not new. Maybe it is true this time, but I find it very difficult to believe that a group as influential and high profile as them [Saudi Arabia's Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta] wouldn't recognize the good that The 99 has done for Muslims around the world." He adds that the comic has been available in Saudi Arabia for seven years, while the cartoon has been airing for two and a half years, making the timing of a ban "a bit weird." [Gulf Business]
Awards | Wiley Miller (Non Sequitur), Stephan Pastis (Pearls Before Swine), Hilary Price (Rhymes With Orange) and Mark Tatulli (Heart of the City, Lio) has been nominated for the 2013 Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year. The winner will be announced May 24 during the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Awards dinner in San Diego. [National Cartoonists Society]
Political cartoons | Cartoonist Majida Shaheen refused an interview recently, saying she continues to feel "threats and pressure" over a cartoon she posted on her Facebook page depicting he military wing of Islamic Jihad as a dog. However, Islamic Jihad spokesman Daoud Shehab says his organization isn't behind them. "No one attacked her officially from the part of the movement. I followed up on the comments on Facebook, and these comments do not express our point of view. We consider her to be merely an unknown artist seeking fame," he said, adding, "Every person has the right to express their convictions. Yet, we were upset with the indecent approach, which is not part of freedom of expression." [Al Monitor]
Digital comics | The Korea Times takes a look at the comics market in that country, where government suppression of comic books in the 1990s (and school-sponsored book burnings even before that) has combined with the current demand for free digital material (in the form of the wildly popular "webtoons") to create an uncertain environment for cartoonists trying to make a living from their work. "Unlike Japanese manga, which continues to drive a large part of the country's publishing market and provide a creative influence to movies, music and video games, Korea's cartoon culture was deprived of its opportunity to thrive," said Lee Chung-ho, president of the Korea Cartoonist Association. "However, the most difficult process for us will be to find a sustainable business model. Readership has increased dramatically through webtoons, but you have no clear idea on how many of these readers will be willing to pay for content." [The Korea Times]
Creators | Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, was traveling the day a tornado devastated Moore, Oklahoma, and he saw the damage on a news broadcast while waiting for a flight. The images stuck with him, so he rounded up fellow creators Lincoln Peirce (Big Nate), Stephan Pastis (Pearls Before Swine, Timmy Failure) and Dav Pilkey (Captain Underpants), all of whom he describes as "novelists whose DNA is in comics," to hold a benefit to rebuild the town's school libraries. The quartet will meet in Norman, Oklahoma, for a panel discussion and will raffle off original art and sell autographed copies of their books this weekend, with all proceeds going to the Moore Public Schools Foundation, earmarked for the school libraries. [Oklahoma Gazette]
Creators | Joe Sacco, author of Palestine, Footnotes in Gaza and, most recently, The Great War, talks about his work day, his process and the places he's been. [The Telegraph]
Cartoonist Ruben Bolling, creator of Tom the Dancing Bug, rounded up 23 cartoonists to contribute their work to an animated ad for Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a coalition of mayors, led by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, that is advocating for "common-sense measures that will close deadly gaps in our gun laws."
The Mayors Against Illegal Guns ads eschew detailed discussion of the issues in favor of a simple images of people making an emotional appeal. This particular ad follows that format with cartoon characters, some familiar (the teenagers from Zits, the Family Circus family, Jason and his dad from FoxTrot), some more generic.
Awards | Brian Crane (Pickles), Rick Kirkman (Baby Blues) and Stephan Pastis (Pearls Before Swine) have been nominated for the 2012 Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year, presented by the National Cartoonists Society. [National Cartoonists Society]
Awards | Nominations are being sought for the Russ Manning Most Promising Newcomer Award, which will be presented July 19 at Comic-Con International during the Eisner Awards ceremony. The deadline is April 5. [Comic-Con International]
Legal | EC Comics writer and editor Al Feldstein and the estate of Mad editor and artist Harvey Kurtzman have taken steps to reclaim the copyright to their early work under the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976 (the same provision invoked by the heirs of Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster). Feldstein has already reached an agreement with the William M. Gaines Agency, which holds the rights to Tales from the Crypt and other classic EC comics of the 1950s; the deal will bring him a small amount of money and the freedom to use the art any way he wants in his autobiography. Kurtzman's people are in the early stages of negotiations with Warner Bros./DC Comics, which holds the rights to Mad magazine. [The Comics Journal]
Graphic novels | BookScan's Top 20 graphic novels list for October makes for strange bedfellows, with The Walking Dead Compendium Two at No. 1, Chris Ware's Building Stories at No. 2, and the third volume of Gene Yang's Avatar: The Last Airbender at No. 3. It's an interestingly mixed list, with the usual sprinkling of manga (Sailor Moon, Naruto, Bleach), a volume of Stephan Pastis' Pearls Before Swine compilations, and four more volumes of The Walking Dead. And bringing up the rear, at #20, the perennial Watchmen. [ICv2]
Conventions | John Giuffo does a compare-and-contrast between Comic-Con International and New York Comic Con. While San Diego has more Hollywood presence, NYCC has grown with stunning rapidity — it's hard to believe that first event had just 25,000 people and shared the Javits Center with a travel convention; this year attendance was 116,000, gaining hard on San Diego's 125,000. One key difference is that CCI spills out of the San Diego Convention Center into the surrounding neighborhood, which has restaurants and bars and parks, while the area around the Javits is pretty barren, limiting opportunities for parties or even a decent lunch, let alone the sort of outside activities that have sprung up in San Diego. [Forbes]
Legal | A Missouri man has pleaded guilty to federal obscenity charges stemming from comics depicting minors having sex with adults and other minors. The prosecutor has asked that he be sentenced to three years in federal prison without parole. [Anime News Network]
"When I started, if you got syndicated, you were basically set — you'd make a good living, and you wouldn't have to worry much else. In the 11 years since then, that door has basically closed. There is no new great syndicated strip, and there probably won't be. Literally, there are no new launches. Now, to make it, you have to go that web route. Many of those guys, from Penny Arcade to Cyanide and Happiness to The Perry Bible Fellowship — which are all excellent — claim to make a living, but how do you know? I can tell you that even if someone does a strip and it's fairly popular online, the money is not online. I question a lot of claims about the money being made, and the question remains that if things continue to go that route for newspapers, and you have to make money online, how do you do it?"
– award-winning cartoonist Stephan Pastis, on how the market for comic strips has changed since Pearls Before Swine received wide syndication in 2002
Graphic novels | The seventh volume of Sailor Moon was the top-selling graphic novel in bookstores in September, according to BookScan, followed by Naruto,Vol. 58, an Avengers character guide, the third volume of Batman: Knightfall, and vol. 3 of Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Promise. ICv2 notes that, the Avengers book aside (and it is published by DK Publishing), Marvel is completely absent from the top ten, although DC makes a strong showing. [ICv2]
Creators | Hope Larson, who adapted Madeline L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time into graphic novel form, chats with Margaret Ferguson, her editor on the project. [Publishers Weekly]
Richard Thompson is taking a couple of weeks off from his daily strip Cul de Sac to do some physical therapy for Parkinson's disease, and he has not one but six guest artists filling in while he's way. Mo Willems (Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!) Stephan Pastis (Pearls Before Swine), Lincoln Peirce (Big Nate), Michael Jantze (The Norm), Corey Pandolph (The Elderberries) and Ken Fisher (Tom the Dancing Bug) will all be taking their turns on the daily and Sunday strips over the next five weeks. What's that going to be like?
"I let them have free rein to re-create 'Cul de Sac' as they saw fit," Thompson tells 'Riffs, "hoping only that no one introduced anything too bizarre, like an angry talking Rat, or a Pigeon with some kind of bus-mania."
Yeah, right. Good luck with that. Willems, Pastis, Peirce, Jantze, and Fisher were all contributors to the Team Cul de Sac art book, which is being sold to raise funds for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. The invasion of guest cartoonists begins on Feb. 20.
Legal | A judge refused to dismiss DC Comics' lawsuit against Gotham Garage, a manufacturer of custom-made Batmobiles, ruling that the design of Batman's vehicle is indeed copyrightable. DC sued the California company in May for copyright and trademark infringement, claiming Gotham Garage is confusing the public into thinking the cars are authorized products. The manufacturer asked the judge to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that the U.S. Copyright Act affords no protection to "useful articles." The judge disagreed, ruling that Gotham Garage "ignores the exception to the 'useful article' rule, which grants copyright protection to nonfunctional, artistic elements of an automobile design that can be physically or conceptually separated from the automobile." [The Hollywood Reporter]
Legal | Nancy Hass provides a broad overview of the legal battle at Archie Comics that pits Co-CEOs Jon Goldwater and Nancy Silberkleit against each other for control of the 73-year-old company. Silberkleit, who spoke briefly to Hass before a New York judge issued a temporary restraining order last month, called claims that she's threatened and harassed the publisher's employees and vendors "completely untrue." [The Daily Beast]
The world of comics is filled with tortured souls, but Bil Keane was not one of them.
The creator of The Family Circus passed away Tuesday at the age of 89, after what was by all accounts a wonderful life. Keane started drawing The Family Circus in 1960, and it is still going strong today — his son Jeff took over in recent years — and his 60-year marriage to Thelma Keane, the model for the mother in the cartoon, was a love match. Keane served as the president of the National Cartoonists Society from 1981 to 1983 and emceed its awards banquet for 16 years. Even before he died, his fellow cartoonists unfailingly described him as the nicest of nice guys, and startlingly funny. His niceness, apparently, had a bit of an edge.
Keane took The Family Circus seriously, seeing his mission as providing "good, wholesome, family entertainment," a sort of cartoon comfort food for readers whose real-life families may not have been quite as warm as his fictional clan. In fact, one of the most touching tributes to his work came from Lynda Barry:
I was a kid growing up in a troubled household. We didn't have books in the house, but we did have the daily paper, and I remember picking out "Family Circus" before I could really read. There was something about looking through a circle at a life that looked pretty good to me.
For kids like me, there was a map and a compass that was hidden [in] "Family Circus." The parents in that comic strip really loved their children. He put that image in my head and it stayed with me.
Comics | David Brothers argues that the problem with Miles Morales is that he is being defined as "the black Spider-Man" rather than simply "Spider-Man": "Miles Morales is notable for being the first black Spider-Man, particularly in Marvel's Ultimate Universe, but it isn't his blackness that makes him special. It's the fact that he's not Peter Parker. The fact that he's half-black, half-Puerto Rican, (and how cool would it be if his dad was a dark skinned Puerto Rican and his mom was light skinned black?!), that it looks like he's taking part in a lottery to get into a good school in the preview images, and that he's thirteen years old is just sauce. It's not the meal. It's part of the meal, sure, but you do yourself and the character (or rather, the concept, what the character represents, or something, because we do not respect characters 'round these parts) a disservice by boiling him down to "black Spider-Man." He's so much more than that, judging by the press run Marvel just went on, that breaking him down to being the black Spider-Man is… it's garbage, it's lazy, it's stupid." [4thletter!]
Retailing | A judge on Friday approved a proposal to pay Borders Group executives up to $6.6 million in bonuses as the bookseller reorganizes under federal bankruptcy protection. The company had originally requested $8.3 million — that figure met with objections from the U.S. bankruptcy trustee — in a bid to retain key corporate personnel. Since Borders filed for bankruptcy on Feb. 16, 47 executives and director-level employees have left, leaving only 15 people in senior management positions.
The approved plan comes with conditions, tying some bonuses to the company's ability to pay creditors and save $10 million over the next two years in leases on the remaining stores or in non-personnel cost reductions. [Businessweek, AnnArbor.com]
Publishing | Dark Horse CEO Mike Richardson talks more about the publisher's recent layoffs, saying that some reports of the cutbacks were overblown: "We have 150 employees. We let seven people go across three different divisions. What is that 4%, 5%? Our staff was just getting too large. The real reason for the layoffs is that we get worried about the cost of doing business. We're sitting there looking at the rising health insurance costs, the changes in the cost of doing business. We thought we were going to get some relief in the form of cover prices moving to $3.99, but I guess the market's made a really strong statement on that price. Meanwhile we're getting squeezed on paper and printing costs at the same time — and creators certainly don't want to take any less money." [ICv2.com]

Dr. Wallach starts the show discussing medical politics. Citing a specific case where medical professionals refuse to release a child's medical records after the child went three months without genetic markers for cystic fibrosis. Because the parents told the professionals they were giving the child nutritional supplements. He then tells his story of being fired for discovering the cause and cure of cystic fibrosis.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a news story about MS (multiple sclerosis). The article states that now some 2.3 million people have MS. A 10% increase in the past five years and that there are more concentrated in high latitudes. With researchers believing this link may be due to lack of sun exposure. Doc asserts the areas where there are less cases are located in third world countries where people still use wood ash and are getting minerals.

text: The Titliest 714 CB Irons are successors to the 712 CB irons and due to their popularity then Titleist have just made a few tweaks to the 714 version. The big difference is in the sole that has been improved with a smoother sole width progression and an increase in the camber of the sole in the short irons. This is to help the ball go through the turf better and this works very well indeed. The short irons in particular now feel superb and are one of the best performing irons we have tested for turf interaction this year. The short irons from 8 to P also have a shorter height in the face nearer the hosel of the club. Known as the PAR height this small change is aimed at giving the 714 scoring clubs a more compact shape, but is purely a cosmetic change. Other subtle changes include a straighter leading edge to promote a squarer set up and a blended hosel that reduces the visual appearance of the small offset on the clubs. These are both good improvements for what is a better players iron and they are welcome if minor adjustments. The looks are very clean and understated so they do not appear vastly different from the 712 model, but certainly the performance is better thanks to the sole changes. The longer irons do look compact for their size compared to the Titleist 714 AP2 irons, but I could see a lot of better players blending the 7-iron to P wedge from the CB range into the AP2 set. A lot of elite players may want to blend the CBs with the Titleist 714 MB irons and with the lofts being identical right through the set, this is something Titleist intend players to do. There is fractionally more offset in the 3, 4 and 5 irons and there is also a 2-iron iron available as an extra in the CB model, but not the MB. Overall the Titleist 714 CB irons are a very good cavity back forged iron for better players who like the precision of blades but with a little more forgiveness. Cherry picking the 8-PW irons for an AP2 set would be a great call too.

Afternoon sun
The first route climbed at Wonderland and reported in the first guide as 'the finest crack at the cliff'. Climb the corner crack to the tree.
- Ethic:© inherited from Wonderland
Bolting of routes is legal and there is quite a bit of potential for new lines. Most older routes top-out and adding bolt anchors at the top is deemed acceptable in the interest of preserving vegetation at the top of the cliff. Replacing bolts on routes is OK if required but adding bolts to existing routes is not. The sandstone often offers solid, natural protection which should be used instead of fixed protection where possible.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - The Clarke County school board is considering
The material includes information about birth control and contraception to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. If approved, teachers could begin training this spring or fall.
A vote scheduled for Thursday night was postponed for a week so the board could get more public comments. Speakers who wish to
address the board about the program must notify the district before next Thursday's meeting and are limited to three minutes each.
The school board voted more than a year ago to do away with the
long-standing policy of abstinence-only sex education. School officials say abstinence still would be taught as a proven method
of avoiding pregnancy and disease.
Clarke County's teen pregnancy rate is among Georgia's highest - 1 out of every 3 girls becoming pregnant before age 20.

I have purchased these socks for years. I used to buy socks for outdoor activity such as hiking and caving from Rock Creek Outfitters and I paid triple what they cost at walmart. Rocky's are just as comparable to the same type and just as good for a much better price. Thank you Walmart!!!
I wear these to go hunting every year and they work very well. These are the only brand I will wear.

Here's my conundrum: I have a page that uses Google Maps V3 and jQuery. It all worked well locally in FF5, Chrome and Safari.
Once I uploaded to a web site, I get a "google is not defined" error on the first line that I try to use a google object
var defaultLocation = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
It only occurs in FF and only occurs remotely (i.e., if I load the file into FF locally, it works well). Chrome and Safari seem to be working great regardless, as is my Android and iPod browsers.
Here's what I tried so far:
- Moved
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>to top of the
- Moved all content of
$(function() {...});to a function called
initialize()and added
<body onload="initialize()">
- Played with scripts and css files order
- Pasted the URL http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false into FF address box and verified I'm getting the legit script
But since this is only happening in FF on a remote machine and works well otherwise, I don't think it has anything to do with my code. Maybe the load order in FF5 is screwed. Maybe it prioritizes network resources differently than other browsers. I really do not know what to make of it at this point.
Any help is appreciated.
Just wanted to add the following fact: After trying the previous on a Mac, I tried FF5 in Windows, and have replicated the exact same behavior.
For good measure, I tried Pale Moon as well - same results. Chrome 14, Opera 11.50 and even frickin' IE9 (which wasn't included in the test plan) work. It just FF5, now on both Mac and Windows 7, that fails on that page.

HARRISBURG - Just minutes before Gov. Corbett stepped out to announce he was using his line item veto power to strike millions of dollars from the legislature's budget two weeks ago, one of his top aides called over to the state Senate.
Drew Crompton, counsel and chief of staff to the Senate's president pro tempore, took the call. The administration, he was told, was going to whack not just $65 million in legislative operational spending, but $7.2 million in legislative-controlled special projects, or earmarks.
"You can't do that," Crompton said he told Corbett's budget secretary, Charles Zogby, questioning the constitutionality of vetoing some of the money.
