Utah Jazz: Much-improved effort leads to bounce-back win over New Orleans
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — After their team's massive meltdown at EnergySolutions Arena on Monday, many Utah Jazz fans were probably hoping for a 45-point bounce-back win.
The non-greedy Utah faithful might've even accepted a 25-point loss, which would've been considered a close call compared to the 125-80 drubbing the Jazz suffered against the Houston Rockets two nights earlier.
And the Jazz?
They'll happily settle for the 104-99 victory they eked out against the New Orleans Hornets in front of a sparse and anxious crowd of 17,490 Wednesday night.
"Absolutely. Absolutely," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. "We got the result we were looking for."
Though it was just a five-point victory over a 15-win Hornets team, it got Utah back on the right track after that devastating detour during which the Jazz suffered their worst-ever home loss and the fifth-largest margin of defeat in franchise history.
"We knew that the next game was going to be tough," Jazz forward Paul Millsap said. "We started off slow, but we got ourselves going and ended up winning the game, but it feels good."
That was apparent from the vastly improved mood in the arena — where Utah is 16-5 and has won seven of its last eight games.
It was also evident in the locker room. When media entered the Jazz players' dressing area following the game, the vibe was downright chipper.
Injured guard Mo Williams briefly stopped reporters to jokingly hold a press conference announcing that Paul Millsap had joined Twitter.
In his locker, Millsap smiled about that, teased Al Jefferson while also, no doubt, feeling good about his team-leading 25-point, 10-rebound performance.
Big Al and Randy Foye razzed a derby-cap-sporting Enes Kanter for his outfit — a nightly ritual after victories, it seems.
And Jazz players were simply relieved to be answering questions about their 10th win in January instead of about one of the most embarrassing losses in their organization's 39 seasons.
"I thought it was real pretty," said Jefferson of the win after scoring 22 points and grabbing five rebounds. "It's a win, especially compared to Monday night."
Jefferson scored six points in the final four minutes, including a jumper moments after a 14-foot Millsap make with 1:16 remaining. Those back-to-back buckets helped the Jazz get some breathing room after the Hornets whittled Utah's 10-point, second-half lead down to one with just over two minutes remaining.
Randy Foye hit three free throws in the final 18 seconds and Millsap scored the final two of his 19 second-half points from the charity stripe with 7.7 remaining to clinch the much-needed win.
Accused of having no heart by some, the Jazz were determined to show they still have a heartbeat in their chests.
At least they did that after falling behind 24-12 in the first quarter, that is.
"It's tough to let a game like that go. You have to move on and put one foot ahead of the other and keep pushing," Millsap said. "We let it go and we came out tonight. It seemed like it was getting ready to go that way again, but we got it going and won the game."
Corbin repeatedly insisted that Monday's loss only counted as one defeat despite the humongous disparity, but it was obvious that his team carried over some struggles from their previous woeful outing when this one began.

We have a computer that's used to test some devices. Every once in a while, testers need to go in and remove the assigned COM ports so they free up and start back at 1. Lately, it's been assigning them the same COM port to a couple of devices (around 8 are connected at the same time) and also, they need to change the test code to match whatever number was assigned by the OS.
Duplicate numbers was the reported problem, but I see the 'having to check the COM ports and updating the code' multiple times a day as a problem too.
In Device Manager, if I turn on to show hidden devices, I see hundreds of them!
You can tell by the size of the scrollbar the list is pretty big. I can click at each one and uninstall, but that's insane going 1 by 1 which is why I ask for a command-line alternative, so I can write a script that they can double click when they need to reset the ports.
Of course, if there's some software out there that will allow for this to happen then that's good too.

Friends plans to sell Barr property
This week a Friends Care Community task force announced plans to sell the Barr property, which the Morgan Family Foundation had gifted to the care center in November.
Affordable housing solutions elsewhere—Creativity and communication is key
As the News winds down its series on affordable housing, it seems appropriate to look at other communities that have taken steps toward addressing a need for affordable housing.
Some construction expected
While the majority of homes sold in the village each year are existing structures, new construction continues to add housing stock to the village. And even during this construction off-season, interest is picking up for new housing.
Council urged to make low-cost homes efficient
In Village Council's first discussion of a draft agreement for a proposed affordable housing project at its Jan. 3 meeting, Council was urged to require from the developer tighter energy efficient building practices than currently specified.
Sun warms homes at Thistle Creek
Home building may not be his primary career, but Yellow Springs electronics distributor Roy Eastman is no novice either, as he has spent the last several years researching energy-efficient building and retrofitting his company's office.
Increased school district enrollment increases opportunities
Increasing local students means increasing local families, and while the village appears to provide a home for families at a variety of income levels, more housing in general could help to generate a school district population that is more sustainable.
Odiorne home to open soon
Four area residents team up to preserve the historic home on the corner of Xenia Avenue and Herman Street, where an open house is slated to take place sometime early next year.
Faces of first-time buyers in YS
Geno and Krystal Luketic are the sort of young couple that local leaders hope will settle in the village. However, while Geno continues his work at the pottery shop, the Luketics are no longer village residents.

Zoning issue stymies infill
The denial of a density variance last month by the Board of Zoning Appeals is motivating some Village officials to reconsider the criteria the board uses to grant variances and to review the overall effectiveness of the Village's zoning code.

Daddy, Could We Have Our Planet Back Now?
A Father's Day essay on the world we're leaving our children
On the one hand, should I be blogging on Father's Day? On the other hand, what more important day is there to blog on climate change than Father's Day? So as a compromise, I'm doing a repost.
Salon published my Father's Day essay back in 2010. It was a sequel of sorts to "Is the global economy a Ponzi scheme?" Sadly, it needs to be updated since we didn't pass a climate bill and instead took a quantum leap closer to leaving our children a ruined climate.
As parents, we constantly admonish our children to share with others. The joke is that as adults, we hardly like to share anything at all. Who likes to lend out their car? Or their tools or books? We're so worried they won't come back in the same condition — or won't be returned at all.
But the truth is that the people we like to share the least with are our own children. "We do not inherit the Earth from our parents, we borrow it from our children," the saying goes. Right now, though, we've borrowed the entire Earth, trashed much of it, and don't plan to give back the rest of it.
We are plundering the world's "renewable resources" — arable land and tropical forests and fisheries and fresh water. And we are using an ever-greater fraction of nonrenewable energy resources, especially hydrocarbons, with devastating consequences.
As one example, our carbon pollution is acidifying all of the oceans simultaneously, while heating them up to record levels, threatening mass extinction of aquatic life. Australian marine science professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, the lead author of a major study on acidification, says the result is that "we are entering a period in which the very ocean services upon which humanity depends are undergoing massive change and in some cases beginning to fail." He adds: "It's as if the Earth has been smoking two packs of cigarettes a day" — except, of course, the smoke comes from our addiction to fossil fuels, not the Earth's. (See Nature Geoscience study: Oceans are acidifying 10 times faster today than 55 million years ago when a mass extinction of marine species occurred).
The website RealClimate points out that the amount of dangerous carbon dioxide we spew into the air each day from burning fossil fuels and deforestation is roughly equivalent to "five thousand spills like in the Gulf of Mexico, all going at once … every day for decades and centuries on end."
And if we listen much longer to those anti-science disinformers who have been counseling inaction, we won't just be trashing the climate for our children — we will be destroying a livable climate for countless future generations. A 2009 study led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration found that "the climate change that is taking place because of increases in carbon dioxide concentration is largely irreversible for 1,000 years after emissions stop." What kind of changes? Well, besides destroying the oceans, the study warns of "irreversible dry-season rainfall reductions in several regions comparable to those of the 'dust bowl' era and inexorable sea level rise."
The dust bowl that will hit the American Southwest and a half-dozen other heavily populated regions around the Earth will likely last far, far longer than the one that devastated the Great Plains in the 1930s (See NCAR analysis warns we risk multiple, devastating global droughts even on moderate emissions path). And the sea level rise could hit 4 to 6 feet by century's end and then continue rising 6 to 12 inches or more a decade, until all the land-based ice on the planet is gone and seas are more than 200 feet higher (See Sea levels may rise 3 times faster than IPCC estimated, could hit 6 feet by 2100). How will our children's children and their descendants adapt to that?
Conservatives have demagogued even the most moderate, business-friendly proposal to put a price on carbon, falsely labeling it and "energy tax." President Obama has never given a single major speech to the American public on the greatest threat we face — the threat posed by unrestricted greenhouse gas emissions, the urgent need to make polluters pay for emitting carbon dioxide. He failed to press hard for the passage of a Senate bill. As a result, the prospects have dimmed for serious climate legislation for the foreseeable future (see "The failed presidency of Barack Obama, Part 2").
To refuse to place a serious price on carbon dioxide pollution is to ignore the damage your actions today will inevitably have on the health and well-being of your children and everyone else's children. Something to think about on Father's Day.

And the CO2 first ends up in the ocean for the most part, where among decreasing water PH acts on fish neurotransmitter, makes them easy prey…
Carbon Dioxide Is 'Driving Fish Crazy' http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/01/120120184233.htm
"We've found that elevated CO2 in the oceans can directly interfere with fish neurotransmitter functions, which poses a direct and previously unknown threat to sea life," Prof. Munday says.
We have to come to grips with the reality that we will be forced to seriously act on climate change real soon.
And it will be a lot easier if we start before the "forcing" starts.
Why the carbon bubble will burst.
I am recalling my ancient Greek and Roman mythology, and hearing "Mother Earth, Father Sky"and recall something about our "parents" caring for one another, being kind to one another, to ensure our existence. Mother Earth — stuff on the ground — please be kinder and gentler to Father Sky – so Father Sky will be kinder and gentler to us here on the ground. A simple "chant" or possible an agnostic "prayer" for this Father's Day…
I would not worry about our children adapting to changes in the environment, people have faced several ice age periods and survived. If nothing else, humans are adaptable to severe climate change and to ocean rise and fall.
What we really need to worry about are the traps being set by civilization that will destroy the environment permanently. These traps are now in the form of nuclear weapons and in nuclear power, especially the spent fuel storage facilities. These are hundreds of disasters waiting to happen that will destroy life. If others have their way, there will be thousands of nuclear facilities and their insidious waste. Cure that problem, because when civilizations do fall, they may not be able to care for those waiting monsters and keep them at bay.
Other traps are bio-weapons and GMO's.
Cure those traps and they will have a chance to adapt.
Climate Change Puts Even 'Safe' Species at Risk
"The findings reveal alarming surprises," said Foden. "We hadn't expected that so many species and areas that were not previously considered to be of concern would emerge as highly vulnerable to climate change.

What we lack is not expertise, but will. We're living with politicians so feeble that they see wind energy as a local planning issue and they're afraid to talk about saving energy for fear that it might sound expensive. Faced with a scientific consensus on carbon use that is as close as humanity will ever get to unanimous, their response is to find more carbon.
The discoveries we need to make are not technological; they are human. How do we imbue the political cycle with some long-term thinking, some altruism, some care for future generations?
It was never our planet. That's the problem, we've been acting like we owned it…that it was ours to consume.
Payback is coming. Peak everything is decades away.
We don't have to worry about adaption; at 6 C, we're toast!
Where did the idea of land ownership come from?
"Humans, like many of our primate cousins, engage in group (as well as individual) territoriality. Tribal groups saw themselves connected to particular territories – a place that was "theirs." Yet their attitude towards the land was very different from ours. They frequently spoke of the land as their parent or as a sacred being, on whom they were dependent and to whom they owed loyalty and service. Among the aborigines of Australia, individuals would inherit a special relationship to sacred places, but rather than "ownership," this relationship was more like being owned by the land. This sense of responsibility extended to ancestors and future generations as well. The Ashanti of Ghana say, "Land belongs to a vast family of whom many are dead, a few are living and a countless host are still unborn."
For most of these tribal peoples, their sense of "land ownership" involved only the right to use and to exclude people of other tribes (but usually not members of their own). If there were any private rights, these were usually subject to review by the group and would cease if the land was no longer being used. The sale of land was either not even a possibility or not permitted. As for inheritance, every person had use rights simply by membership in the group, so a growing child would not have to wait until some other individual died (or pay a special fee) to gain full access to the land."
The Idea Of Owning Land
Thanks for this, Joe.
As I so often say about this topic and the children of the world: They're ALL our kids, whether they share our DNA or not. And right now, by sticking to our business as usual emissions path, we're engaged in a slow-motion, global act of child abuse.
I bet the jellyfish love it.
There is no 'We'. There is 'Us' the rational, sane, humane human beings who want humanity to go on, and there are 'Them', who care only for their own lives and their wealth, power and ego. 'Them' is winning, hands down, because most of 'We' refuse to recognise just what 'Them' represent.
Talk about, 'Special subject-the bleeding obvious!'. This is a MASS extinction we have caused, all by ourselves.
The indigenous concept of belonging to their 'country', and not seeing it as a commodity to be bought, sold and kept from others, is one of the indigenous beliefs that most enrage the Right in Australia. Since John Howard's regime slithered to power in 1996 there has been a concerted effort to destroy indigenous culture by coercive 'assimilation' into the grey, greedy, monoculture of 'mainstream' Australia. A particular emphasis has been placed on driving the indigenous off their remote ancestral lands, from where services have been removed, successful community work programs ended, and a tyrannous program of radical disempowerment, the quasi-military, 'Intervention' been imposed on a mostly unwilling populace. Needless to say, this infantilising, humiliating, contemptuous program has enjoyed bi-partisan political support, the anti-indigenous racist vote here being prodigious.
You can not compare past climate change adaptation of species to today's,because the rate of emissions is so much greater and the heat trapping gases are in part novel. The ozone layer is also already damaged, things which effect climate. Unprecedented…
There are so many things wrong with what you said in your first paragraph it would take a few text books to clarify.
But, you are certainly right about the Giant Nuclear Booby-Trap we are still deliberately building still today.
I don't think we are talking about survival. Rather, I believe most people are talking about continuing global civilization in a way that would be familiar. Another ice age with 7 billion people on the planet and being interdependent because of globalization would be devastating. But so would climate change if it became too severe, such as somewhere beyond 4C. Humans are very adaptable but the ecosystems that we depend on are in many cases not that adaptable and the interaction of declining ecosystems would greatly shrink the amount of land that is habitable for humans. To what extent nobody knows for sure but it is certainly something that needs to be avoided. A massive population collapse following an overshoot is what we appear to be heading for unless emissions of greenhouse gases are dramatically reduced very soon.
Your first sentence is correct, but then in the second sentence you transfer responsibility to the politicians. We, you and I, lack the will, and our elected representatives reflect that lack of will of their constituents. Hard to lead your troops in battle when they've all deserted to Sweden and Canada!
BAU will lead to ~6 C by end of century (or sooner), which means extinction for many species, including ours. Far more than 'slow motion', and far more than 'child abuse'.
"There is 'Us' the rational, sane, humane human beings who want humanity to go on", but who are not willing to move toward the required sustainability by surrendering the addiction to the high energy intensity lifestyle enabled by the unlimited availability of 'cheap' fossil fuels.
Now you will find out the real meaning of nonlinear dynamical systems with cross-coupled synergistic positive feedback mechanisms. Mother Nature is unleashing a full-spectrum offensive on land-sea-air; there will be no respite, and there will be no refuge. The end will be violent, and sooner than anyone here is estimating.
The Irukandji (deadly 'box') jellyfish has moved as far South as Fraser Island and the stinging season has now increased from 2 to over 6 months. Sounds like love to me, ME

Gee. Just had a marvelous Sunday biking around New York City — pretty much the only way I travel — around waterfronts, across the Brooklyn Bridge; stopping at places to eat and drink and talking with friends.
Wonder what a low energy lifestyle would be?
"Them" ain't winning anything.
"He who dies with the most toys wins," is just a joke.
And, it's likely a lot of those toys will soon be even more silly useless.
Well uh i quote from that article.
In my opinion this shows why we require leadership.
You can live your hip NYC lifestyle because every single thing you
needuse is brought to your very door with fossil fuels. Are you implying it is possible to have a 'low energy lifestyle' in NYC? Because you ride a share bike?
More stingers as sea temperatures rise
The confrontation with reality should be terribly appealing.
I know the purpose of your article is to chide people into action on a serious issue, but when you say;
"…But the truth is that the people we like to share the least with are our own children…"
Wrong! I don't know what type of family you were raised in but I share everything with my kids, more now since they are grown, because that is what family is for. To help each other.
I know you have a job to do here but this time I think you missed the mark entirely, especially on Father's Day!
I'm sorry but I have no idea what your comment means. Can you make it clearer? ME
I think Joe is thinking a bit more big-picture here than you seem to be, Henry.
As a _society_ we have use up non-renewable resources (like fossil fuels) that our children will not be able to use.
And the result of burning through all those non-renewable stores of carbon is that we now have a planet that is profoundly and eternally altered from the one we came into. So we cannot share that now-gone planet with them.
Think species extinction, ice caps, glaciers, sea level, CO2 levels, and the other things he lists…rather than the household items and financial resources you seem to be thinking of.
Now, now Super-don't go generalising. A lot of people are reducing their consumption, markedly, but the Right is actively sabotaging such efforts, particularly in the deranged (due to high CO2 levels?) Anglosphere.
A 1/1000 exception does not invalidate my statement. Take a hard look at the CO2 emissions for the past three (or more) decades and CO2 atmospheric concentrations for that period, and then tell me about collective low-energy lifestyles.
"A lot of people are reducing their consumption". Hmmm, talk about generalizing; if all these people are reducing their consumption, how come the CO2 emissions and concentrations are only going in one direction: UP!
Much ado about Nothing!
Thanks Joe, it helps to know that many of the thoughts that I faced years ago still present to the younger generations. Sad that a truthful reply still is too much for many parents to face. Very telling title to a worldly situation.
"Well uh i quote from that article." In that case, it might help if you place quotation marks around the quoted section.
The pot calling the kettle black? I also noticed your lack of comment on one of the article's quotes relative to "our addiction to fossil fuels".
Iowa Wind Production Poised To Expand After $1.9 Billion Buffet Investment (INFOGRAPHIC)
Nice windmills can make a difference in electricity generation once installed and running.
It would be nice if the balance argument actually focused on the energy balance (Watts per meter squared) when the next Buffet enterprise is proposed to Mr. Buffet on how to take advantage of the Eaarth's energy. One interesting thing is that the Eaarth tends to keep more energy from the Sun these days, so using the incoming heat shows agreement with natural systems. It is up to us to use it as best as we may. Considering that the Eaarth systems may turn that incoming heat into too much heat, wind, and rain for our comfort we should find ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle the incoming heat . CSP seems to capture heat and change it to electrical energy which we would then use to turn motors that make heat, so heat is captured and then released. How about some new proposals on how to capture a cause of the heat retention and then no release of the causal factor. Certainly there are others who may define what such proposal could entail much better than I.
Oh, and I'm not suggestion a new and improved maid service which they would refuse to pay for, but a new source service that is able to get along with Eaarth systems which then could comfort us.
Red Admiral, Don't forget the bridges and streets he rides on, all constructed with mucho fossil fuel.
We are headed for massive de-population even if we cut back on emissions, too many other factors against us and no real turning aside.
But as far as keeping the current banking-industrial-technological civilization intact, I say look closely where it is headed right now and then decide if you want to live in it in the near future, let alone where is will go in the long run. Luckily it is unsustainable and will have to change dramatically.
Dave S., please name the text books.
I can think of one pair of 'budgie-smugglers' I wouldn't mind seeing an Irukandji lodge in.
Now, now, enjoying a beautiful day is what beautiful days enjoin. Won't many cuss when they have missed the beautiful day? It just works out that a beautiful day is nice.
red admiral,
Cheers to the one half billion Chinese cyclists living there hip lifestyle
red admiral,
Your remark is typical of fossil fuel propaganda attempting to stygmatize and prevent design, development, and broad deployment of positively disruptive advanced net zero mobility methods that will eliminate the extremely costly and dangerous dependency on fossil fuels.
red admiral,
In any case, infrastructure specifically designed for net zero mobility such as bikes have miniscule environmental and other foot prints compared to other modalities and the rapid transition would likely have minimal buildout emissions.
Fossil fuel industry monopolistic practices prevent this.
red admiral,
I agree with you entirely that the extreme wasteful and dangerous dependency on transportation systems designed to sell fossil fuels is not cool at all putting billions of people at risk; and the millions killed and the excess of fifty millions gravely injured on the worlds roads annually is beyond horrific.
superman 1,
Uh, maybe emissions would be going up faster?
Uh, maybe when people do this stuff people realize that "Something is not impossible if it already exists."
Superman 1,
You really should get in the habit of at least trying to answer your own questions.
Our children flow through us . . .
I am terribly selfish taking terrific pleasure in doing what is right; blessed with a profound passion for my life, those lives of others and the exquisite nature of living things and all to come; and being part of a seemingly impossible effort to save all this from a horrific future; and the optimism to believe that this can and must happen.
NYC is largely a manmade environment where investing $200 billion per year could make it net zero in five years; a good investment considering its trillion dollar real estate market being central to a region characterized by a trillion dollars economic activity per year.
Unfortunately, economics is not rational as proven by psychologist Daniel Kahneman getting him the Nobel Prize in Economics with case studies detailed in his best selling "Thinking Fast And Slow."
The really bad habit of building supersize vehicles amplifies humanity's footprint and difficulties astronomically and is very easy to change.
The simple secret of net zero vehicles is to build them small and light enough to be easily powered by human power.
The really bad habit of building supersize vehicles amplifies humanity's footprint and difficulties astronomically

Guilty plea in Vt. town embezzlementMarch 25,2013
BURLINGTON — A former Vermont town clerk and treasurer has pleaded guilty to embezzling several hundred thousand dollars from the town of Weybridge.
Karen Brisson served for about 28 years in Weybridge, a town of less than 900 residents 30 miles south of Burlington.
Prosecutors say Brisson stole money from 2006 to 2012, by writing checks from the town to herself. Officials say a forensic audit puts the town's loss at $476,000.
Brisson's attorney says Brisson's home is for sale and she has signed the mortgage over to the town. The town says it has a $500,000 insurance plan through the Vermont League of Cities and Towns.

Microsoft Windows 10 review
Minimum CPU: 1GHz or faster, Minimum GPU: DirecX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver, Minimum RAM: 1GB (32-bit), 2GB (64-bit), Hard disk space: 16GB (32-bit), 20GB (64-bit)
The launch of Windows 10 is the most important single event in home computing in years. The new operating system is free to those using Windows 7 and Windows 8 and that alone is a huge change in strategy for Microsoft and a huge boon for PC users.
The first big advantage is of course you're not paying for it. That means anyone using a relatively modern PC can update to the new operating system today. As far as typical home PC users are concerned, Windows 7 and 8 could be practically eradicated overnight, getting most of the PC population onto the most modern and up-to-date OS.
That means for the first time since the heyday of Windows XP, some ten years ago, there's no excuse not to be using Microsoft's current operating system. This is a huge boon for everyone and it means more people using the latest versions of apps, better security support and a consistent experience across multiple devices - for more on the latest Windows 10 news see IT Pro.
Speaking of multiple devices, you can install Windows 10 on your PC, laptop or tablet today (or any hybrid laptop-tablet type thing for that matter). It's coming to Windows Phone 8 handsets shortly and even the Xbox One is getting in on the act too (see, how to setup Xbox One game streaming on Windows 10). That's because developers will now be able to more easily roll out apps across all these platforms at once, so a new version of Netflix will appear on all of them at once, be based on the same code, yet appear different depending on the screen size and input device. Clever stuff.
Installing is simple and we've found the results to be largely stress free, with the latest build proving stable in our testing across multiple devices. Yes of course there are a few niggles, but nothing major and nothing we'd let put us off upgrading.
What is Windows 10?
It's not really a big surprise that Windows 10 runs well, as underneath the new interface there's a lot of Windows 8 still there. The outgoing operating system may not have been popular for many reasons but it's been technically sound for some time. It also means that compatibility shouldn't be a problem; we found no problems running older programmes or connecting hardware, although it's worth checking if there are new drivers for key bits of hardware, such as a printer.
Windows is still ostensibly a desktop operating system, as opposed to the more cloud-based approach Chrome OS on Chromebooks. However, such distinctions are never clear cut and Windows 10 is heavily integrated with Microsoft's cloud services, including OneDrive. This comes preinstalled, so you can easily sync and backup files to the cloud. Then there's Office 365, which provides both browser-based and (optionally) desktop Office apps for a monthly fee
Windows 10 will be largely familiar to anyone who's used the operating system before. Yes, there's a Start menu for launching your applications, along with the usual Taskbar for keeping track of what you've got open. The Start menu now incorporates a section of live tiles for various apps (more on those later), but if you don't like them you can remove them entirely: just right-click each one and choose unpin.
There are lots of fancy new ways to navigate the desktop, but we'll get into those later, and they're entirely optional. In short, if you were annoyed that Windows ever changed from its XP incarnation, you'll be just fine here after a bit of tinkering.
Windows for all shapes and sizes
What's really clever is that the regular desktop experience we've just described is only one part of Windows 10. if you're using a typical laptop or PC then everything is as familiar as a comfy armchair. However, if you have a fancy new device, such as a touchscreen laptop or a hybrid laptop-tablet, then it works for your device too.
By simply detaching the keyboard or folding your hybrid back on itself Windows 10 switches into tablet mode. The OS will ask if it should change mode the first time and you can choose to make the switch automatic or require confirmation in a dialog box. We've found this works with all the hardware we have in the office, although all of these have a sensor to detect the change; some hybrids with clip-on Bluetooth keyboards don't have this capability, so you'll have to change the mode manually.
In tablet mode you get a full-screen Start menu with large tiled app icons that you can easily tap to launch. Thanks to live tiles you get updates from your apps without even opening them, photos from social media, weather, news headlines and so on. That and the dense tiled layout make it all far more modern and slick than either Apple or Google's mobile operating systems. You also get mobile-OS touches such as a back button. In fact with Windows 10 we could really see ourselves moving to single device computing, with a laptop-tablet hybrid covering everything we need from both form factors. Although there are still some sticking points.

Autumn Tales
With soft colored art, adorable children, and colorful outdoor scenes, Let It Fall celebrates all the seasonal awe of autumn.
Text and photographs present the different types and colors of leaves found in the Northern Hemisphere in autumn.
Leaves are falling, geese are flying, and warm coats are (reluctantly) being worn to school. That can mean only one thing: It's autumn!
Each autumn, just before the onset of winter, a bear shows up in the rugged woodland behind a family farm.
Miss Parks just loves her new home, her new teaching job, and all her new students. But most of all, she loves Autumn, her perfect little kitten. Then one night, during a terrible storm, Autumn runs away. Miss Parks' students band together to search for Autumn, with no luck.
One cool day Mouse and Minka venture out to play. From leaves of all colors — red, yellow, orange, and brown — to leaves of all shapes and sizes — from pointy to round — Mouse learns that fall is a season full of fun! And before the day is done he just might take the biggest leap of all.
Summer is over, and Clifford the small red puppy, is curious about the changes that are happening all around him.
Fall has come, the wind is gusting, and Leaf Man is on the move. Is he drifting east, over the marsh and ducks and geese? Or is he heading west, above the orchards, prairie meadows, and spotted cows? No one's quite sure, but this much is certain: A Leaf Man's got to go where the wind blows.
It's a young bear's first autumn, and the falling leaves surprise him. He tries to put them back on the trees, but it doesn't work. Eventually, he gets sleepy, and burrows into the fallen leaves for a long nap. When he wakes up, it's spring and there are suddenly brand-new leaves all around, welcoming him.
In this brilliantly hued celebration of the fun of fall, two brothers enjoy everybody's favorite autumn activities: chasing leaves through the air, stomping on them, raking them into piles, and jumping in!
When a cheerful old lady heads out at dusk for a walk, she runs into a series of very eerie surprises in the middle of the dark forest. Shoes with no one inside them clomp, clomp behind her. Pants with no one inside them wiggle, wiggle after her as she walks along.
In this original story read to the tune of "The Green Grass Grew All Around," preschoolers can follow the fall season in a single place as it progresses. The green leaves turn brown, the sky gets darker, the wind blows, the pumpkins are ready to pick, the leaves fall all around, and then it's winter.
Apples are my favorite snack —
All juicy, red, and round.
Comes with a crunchy sound.
Sparse rhyming text details a child's impressions of a trip to go apple-picking, from the morning flapjacks to the last juicy bite of apple.

I needed bar stools for my kitchen renovation and found exactly what I was looking for with these Bostonian 26-inch swivel stools. They are absolutely beautiful. They are made of heavy, sturdy wrought iron, and beautiful upholstered black leather swivel seats. The stools are the perfect size and oh so comfortable. They are easy to assemble--just a couple of screws--and are a perfect match for my kitchen and my family.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Same color as shown.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. They are heavy, sturdy, well constructed, and comfortable.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? The description was totally accurate.
i ordered 4 of these bar stools and they arrived quickly, in perfect shape and i absolutely love them. They are comfortable and very sturdy. I would recommend them highly!

Subject: Re: [OMPI devel] RFC: opal_cache_line_size
From: George Bosilca (bosilca_at_[hidden])
Date: 2012-04-23 17:53:42
I guess at the end is a trade-off between performance and space. What we wanted with this code is to avoid false sharing of cache lines between our data (internal header we add in from of elements in lists) and the content of the data (whatever is coming from the upper layer).
If the header is smaller than a single L1 cache line you don't want to waste too much memory, even if this gives you one less cache line ping-pong for the first cache line in the user data. However, I did a quick grep and most of our headers are larger than a single line of cache (even Itanium L2) so I suppose that making opal_cache_line_size equal to the L2 cache line size will not be a too big waste of memory overall.

Hi, I'm sorry this is very basic - and I've tried to look for existing info - but I need help figuring out how to install a new style, e.g. one of the alternatives available on a myriad of sites such as http://www.alexking.org/index.php?content=software/wordpress/styles.php .
I need step-by-step instructions without assuming anything. I have downloaded the zip file and unzipped it. It gives me a a css file and some images. What do I do with these? Where do I put them? How do I incorporate them into my blog design?
I have shell access. What directory do I put these in? And then when I'm in the admin panel, what do I do under Templates with the index.php file?
I'm afraid I don't have css knowledge, I'm used to HTML edits. (So ideally I'd actually like to just create my own layout, but I figured I should first start by figuring out how I incorporate a style from someone else.)
Thank you for any help!

ARTS Minister Tessa Blackstone has placed a temporary bar on the export of an important drawing, Study for the Institution of the Eucharist, by Federico Barocci (1528-1612).
The pen, brown ink and wash on paper drawing, 20 x 14in (51.4 x 35.5cm), has been deemed of outstanding aesthetic quality and is one of the artist's most imposing and impressive works on paper. It is also seen as having value as a well-documented modello for the study of the creative process of Barocci's painting.
Its provenance is of significant interest as well. It has been in the UK since the 17th century and bears the mark of the greatest collector of drawings of the period, the painter Sir Peter Lely (1618-80). It then entered the collection of the Earls of Pembroke at Wilton, ranked second only to Chatsworth among the great 18th century aristocratic holdings of Old Master drawings. The prints and drawings from Wilton were dispersed at auction in 1917. It has been deferred at a recommended price of £1.35m until after December 11. If a serious buyer comes forward before then, a further deferral could be imposed until after March 11 in order for funds to be raised.

I would like to purchase my own aspherical lens for testing purpose. Then I need to define the required coefficients. But how? My known requirements are f=25mm F/# 2.0 and MTF 0.5 @ 120lp/mm with a wl of 850nM. The distance from the object plane to my lens is 10m. I will test it for an imaging application. Thanks
You can purchase some aspheres designed for particular uses, like collimating a laser beam, from most optics supply companies (CVI, Newport, etc.). They will also have best-form spherical lenses that will work over a broader range of conjugates.
If you need to design an imaging system, there is really no simple formula to compute aspheric coefficients. You would use an optical design tool like CodeV to determine the ideal shape via nonlinear optimization.

I have a Dell D420 on which I run Linux Mint Gloria. However every once in a while the laptop completely freezes up. First the GUI freezes, then a minute later the ssh session I had with the computer dies. I've heard of strange issues with the Intel GMA 950 chipset before and am now a little suspicious that it is the reason for the issues. In addition, every once in a while when I try to bring the computer back from sleep, it simply flashes its status lights at me like a BIOS error until I reboot.
Anyone have any thoughts on how I can go about narrowing down the issue, maybe go as far as resolving it?

Christine O"Donnell is rumoured to be under consideration for the next season of "Dancing with the Stars'.
According to AOL's Popeater blog, Sarah Palin, who watched her daughter Bristol finish third on the show Tuesday night, has been whispering in the ear of the show's producers to get O"Donnell added to the cast.
"Sarah is a genius at marketing herself and her message. She doesn"t care about all the old rules about how political people are meant to behave and act. Sarah believes the best way is to go directly to the people – use Twitter, Facebook, "Dancing With the Stars" and "Entertainment Tonight" to get potential voters excited and leave "Meet The Press" and those boring Sunday morning shows to the old-school politicians," the New York Daily News quoted a source as saying.
O"Donnell is a fan of the show, and tweeted her support for Bristol on Monday.
"I just voted for Bristol on DWTS!" she wrote, encouraging others to vote.
A network executive with ABC told Shuter, "Christine is not a bad idea at all. After Kate Gosselin and Cloris Leachman, O"Donnell would fit right in."
"She certainly would be so controversial that the amount of press attention and buzz the show would get would be huge. Plus, you know they would make her dance in a witch"s hat with a broomstick," the executive added.

I have a remote hosted website with a
MySQL database.
I am trying to access that database from a small
C# program.
What I've tried:
- Referencing the MySQL DLL in the project
- Using MySQL connection strings
- Disabling my firewall
- Adding my IP address to the
Remote MySQL Databasesin the site's cPanel
What I'm getting:
- Access denied for user blabla@mycomputerip in the Visual Studio console
What boggles my mind:
- How can I find out if my webhosting service allows remote connections to the DB?
- Do I really need to connect with PuTTy to the server and tweak the configs?
- ^ if so, do I even have access to do that?
Interesting enough. If I do
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'myuser'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
it throws me this:
#1045 - Access denied for user 'blabla'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Common sense should tell you that my username is not actually 'blabla'.
I don't have privileges to CREATE USER, nor do I have SSH access via PuTTy or so.
Does this basically mean that it's my hosting's fault that I can't connect from a remote location to the DB?

Yes. Sources say that Autozone cuts spare keys. Alternatively, contact a local locksmith who can cut your key to match the ignition lock of your car.
When you purchase a new car, the dealer will provide you a tag with a key code on it needed to cut a new key. If you don't have this, get the VIN number and take this to the car dealer together with proof of ownership. They can then look up the key code and make a new key for you.
Car keys have gone high tech, and replacing one is no longer a quick, inexpensive trip to the hardware store. An electronics engineer found that out the hard way. Read more at ConsumerReports.org.

TERA video introduces you to the Elin race
Blue Hole and En Masse have released a new video for TERA showing of the MMO's Elin race.
According to the game's lore, the goddess Elinu created the Elins and their appearance reflects her "naive desire for beauty and peace"
The race is governed by a queen who uses wisdom and diplomatic prowess to promote peace, but if needed, her armies are tactical warriors on the battlefield.
More on the race is available on the official website.
TERA releases in North America on May 1.
