PeaZip is a cross-platform file archiver utility that provides a unified portable GUI for many open source technologies like 7-Zip, FreeArc, PAQ, UPX, etc. Creates 7Z, ARC, BZ2, GZ, *PAQ, PEA, QUAD/BALZ, TAR, UPX, WIM, XZ, and ZIP files. It extracts more than 150 archive types: ACE, ARJ, CAB, DMG, ISO, LHA, RAR, UDF, ZIPX, and more. Features of PeaZip include extracting, creating, and converting multiple archives at once, creating self-extracting archives, split/join files, strong encryption with two factor authentication, an encrypted password manager, secure deletion, find duplicate files, calculate hashes, and export job definitions as scripts.
Dar is a shell command that makes backup of a directory tree and files. Its features include splitting archives over several files, DVD, CD, ZIP, or floppies, compression, full or differential backups, strong encryption, proper saving and restoration of hard links, extended attributes, file forks, Door inodes, and sparse files, remote backup using pipes and external commands (such as ssh), and rearrangement of the "slices" of an existing archive. It can run commands between slices, before and after saving some defined files or directories (for a proper database backup, for example), and quickly retrieve individual files from differential and full backups. Several external GUIs exist as alternatives to its CLI interface, like kdar, DarGUI, SaraB, etc.
OpenXAdES enables people to work with legally-binding digital signatures (primarily giving and verifying them). Legislation often defines a set of requirements that legal digital signature technologies and infrastructures must be compliant with, and OpenXAdES aims at meeting many, if not all, such requirements from different legislations.
CyberFusion is a system that provides secure file transfer across a LAN, a WAN, and the Internet. It offers encryption and security, reliability and guaranteed delivery, management and automation, audit and control. It offers cost-saving migration from competitor products such as Connect:Direct which is supported with useful tools. It may be used as part of a VPN, ERP, EAI, or ETL software solution for secure file transfers as well as in disaster recovery, data archive, and backup and restore operations.
MpNT is a multi-precision number theory library that provides a base for building cryptographic applications. It may also be used in any other domain where efficient large number computations are required. The library supports integer, modular, and floating point arithmetic with practically unlimited precision. It is both speed efficient and highly portable without disregarding code structure and clarity.
OpenSignature is a project for the digital signature of documents. It works with all cards supported by OpenSC, and focuses on adding support for cards from accredited Italian CAs. The goal is to provide the first single product capable of supporting cards from multiple vendors/countries. This contrasts the approach taken by card vendors/providers whose software follows an exclusive single-vendor approach. OpenSignature attempts to make a major contribution to interoperability in the digital signature domain, and aims to greatly facilitate the setup of public access points that are currently the objective of several projects in Italy.
Botan is a crypto library written in C++. It provides a variety of cryptographic algorithms, including common ones such as AES, MD5, SHA, HMAC, RSA, Diffie-Hellman, DSA, and ECDSA, as well as many others that are more obscure or specialized. It also offers SSL/TLS (client and server), X.509v3 certificates and CRLs, and PKCS #10 certificate requests. A message processing system that uses a filter/pipeline metaphor allows for many common cryptographic tasks to be completed with just a few lines of code. Assembly and SIMD optimizations for common CPUs offers speedups for critical algorithms like AES and SHA-1.

2010 Audi A3 2.0T Premium
ProsLooks great, fun to drive and economical. Great car! ConsA little tight in the back seat, but still usable.
A Small Car That's Big On Heart And Personality. A Real Blast To Drive. — I bought this car on Friday, 4/16/10, and went on a 500 mile trip over the weekend, which affirmed my great appreciation for this unique vehicle. Handling is tight and responsive. The S-Tronic transmission is amazing and feels so much like a stick that my left foot kept looking for the clutch pedal. Acceleration plants you in the seat and it gets up and scoots. I love the different transmssion modes and it behaves like a race car with the double clutch system using either the console or paddle shifters. I originally wanted a stick, but this system is fun and convenient. In heavy traffic I am glad I can relax and put it in D and let it do it's thing while I play around with the Sirius radio, which I can do from the steering wheels. Audi didn't scrimp on the build quality and this car has just about everything I would want in a car. All 6 feet of me fits perfectly and I was never tired of unconfortable. It also gets some looks from passers by and that big grill in the front is really an eye catcher. I calculated that I was getting about 30 miles to the gallon when I got home, making this a very economical ride for US standards. Being conscious about fuel economy and the environment, I feel that I am doing my part with this effecient and low emmissions means of transportation. On top of all that, it's a blast to drive. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

My girl likes them
Bought these for my fiance prior to a winter hiking trip in the White Mountains, NH. She thought the gloves were very comfortable and easy getting on/off with the grab loops. Temperatures did get very cold so she did have to use handwarmers and the gloves still fit great when using handwarmers. Gloves are flexible enough and she says dexterity was good when grabbing at zippers, velcro straps, etc.

Warm gloves
I'm wearing these in the coldest months that Colorado has to offer and hands are 90% warm. Great backcountry ski gloves. Wouldn't wear them on the lifts, but touring in these gloves has been wonderful. The wool lining works better than other gloves. My hands sweat and that mean wet cold hands. These gloves breath and no sweating = dry warm hands.

Advanced Safe & Lock Inc. has acquired Access Lock & Key Inc.
Access Lock & Key was founded by brothers Ronald and Gary Ruggles in 1989, aimed at serving residential and commercial customers in northeast Rochester. Ruggles sold the company due to health reasons. His brother, Gary passed away in 2011.
"We opened an Access Lock & Key store on Waring Road and had a mobile van to provide auto and 24/7 locksmith services," said Ronald Ruggles, co-founder of Access Lock & Key in a statement. "I am confident that Advanced Safe & Lock will provide exceptional service for Access Lock & Key's customers."
Advanced Safe & Lock has a showroom at 1459 Lake Ave. and five mobile units, adding to the company's presence in the community. Ruggles'son Matt joined ASL's team in 2012.
"With this acquisition, Advanced Safe & Lock is Rochester's premier neighborhood locksmith, serving all of Monroe County and surrounding areas," said Frank Cicha, president of Advanced Safe & Lock in a statement.
Advanced Safe & Lock was established 11 years ago in Webster. Its current Lake Avenue location was formerly owned and operated by Town & Country Locksmiths Inc. for 23 years, until it was acquired by ASL in 2005, officials say.

Top tier batsmen from each country (Crowe not quite fitting that bill) in order, more or less.
I too think that Lara somewhat underachieved and had he been as disciplined as say an SRT he couldve achieved so much more. Even so, one thing I noticed in Lara's record is that he has very few not outs. i think that's a product of him being in a piss poor WI batting line up and having to hit out whenever he was running out of partnersmore often that not. If Lara had even half the not outs of most batsmen his average wouldve been well over 55.
Cause Slifer said so.........!!!!
Part of what made Lara great was his risk taking and for the most part not playing for average. He was a true genius.
I'll go current (tests):

South Africa: Amla

Also Supporting the All Time #1 Batsman of All Time Ever - Jacques Kallis and the much maligned Peter Siddle.
Vimes tells it how it is:
True that. Had he been like a Chanderpaul who knows what his average might of been. Considering they both played for the same crappy team over most of their careers Lara could have easily pulled a Chanderpaul and piled up the not outs my guess his averagewould have been around 60 odd. Lets see Chandershas like 40 odd not outs if Lara had about half that by my calculation his average wouldve been around 57. And some people call him selfish !!!

I'm not so sure about that as only a master-batsman could pass the 150 mark against the West Indies at home during the 1980s.
Here we have 188 runs made by Crowe at Georgetown against Marshall, Holding, and Garner;
2nd Test: West Indies v New Zealand at Georgetown, Apr 6-11, 1985 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo
Can you think of any other batsman kyear who made a similar score against the same line-up of West Indian greats on their own turf?
(not saying that there aren't any, but they must be rare surely)

the "SCBA Research Fund" Mail check to: Mr. Don Van Borsch SCBA Secretary/Treasurer 407 Old Plantation Drive West Columbia, SC 29172
New to the page is the announcement of SC State Research Grant program .....
Help ensure we have the home grown sweetness of a South Carolina summer. Apples, cantaloupes, cucumbers, squash and watermelons are just a few of the nutritious, safe and locally grown fruits and vegetables we have come to expect from our South Carolina farmers. But one of the farmer's hardest working allies is under attack…
The honey bee, primarily responsible for pollinating almost one third of the food crops we eat, has had to fight for survival. First it was the tracheal mites from Europe, then the varroa mites from Asia, next the small hive beetles from Africa, and now beekeepers throughout the United States are faced with a mysterious "colony collapse disorder" that results in death of previously healthy colonies.
Over the past 60 years the number of managed honey bee colonies in the United States has declined from about 5.5 million colonies to less than 2.4 million colonies today. Yet, the value of increased yield and quality achieved through pollination by honey bees alone in the United States is estimated at $14.6 billion today. In South Carolina, the annual value of farm cash receipts from agricultural crops that require bee pollination is over $25 million. This value does not include home garden vegetables and fruits or plants for wildlife food that depend on bees for pollination.
While the honey bee is probably not in danger of extinction, keeping enough healthy colonies to ensure continued availability of wholesome, nutritious, locally grown fruits and vegetables in South Carolina is becoming more and more difficult.
So, please join the South Carolina Beekeepers Association (SCBA) and Clemson University as we jointly search for solutions. Become a "research partner" by making a tax deductible contribution to the South Carolina Beekeepers Association "Save Our Bees" fund. Administered by the SCBA, this fund will be used to underwrite small research projects investigating problems facing South Carolina beekeepers.
Want to do more?
Consider establishing or contributing to a research endowment that will ensure a long term institutional commitment to beekeeping and South Carolina farmers. The endowment will fund a Clemson University graduate student who will conduct honey bee research. Your generosity will help ensure the fruits and vegetables of South Carolina summer are enjoyed by our children and grandchildren for years and years to come.

Frank Kunert's work:
A multi-storied apartment building with gray-beige stucco: the epitome of lower middle-class tristesse. A throw rug and a doormat hang over the balustrade of a balcony. Another has a single flower box, a third, a deck chair. A familiar sight at first glance. After a second or third take, however, it becomes perfectly clear that something is amiss. The balcony doors lead nowhere, and the balconies themselves are not accessible.
In "Apartment with balcony," there is no architectural scandal attempting to be uncovered by photographer Frank Kunert. The photograph stems from a series of works entitled "Photographs of Small Worlds," which ingeniously, slyly and subtly play with our sense of perception, as well as with our expectations -- taking both ad absurdum.
The project "Small Worlds" is far from being mere photographic satire. Instead, Kunert has spent weeks, sometimes even months, working with deco boards, plasticine and paint, in order to model his thoughts in 3D. With an exceptional eye for detail, he has constructed faultless models, and created scenes that look just like the real thing. Kunert never flicks on his studio lights and reaches for his large-format camera until he feels that his models have reached a state of perfection -- until they have become little worlds of their own.
And, it is true, these intricate models could very well stand on their own. But by taking photographs of them, the complexity of these elaborately staged worlds (as well as the intended visual illusion they create) is made manifest. For Kunert, photo montage and computer animation do not come into question. He has no interest in getting fast results, or of achieving a perfect high-gloss surface. In his mind, it is not only perfectly acceptable that viewers of his large prints can detect that these are pictures taken of models; they should actually be aware of this fact. The "analogue look" of his photographs is intentional -- Kunert's answer to digitalization is creating images of the tangible.
Frank Kunert's "Small Worlds" are, in their symbiosis of idea, image and caption, just as multi-dimensional as excellently-crafted written narratives. On the surface, these photographs confront us with all of the hollow words, catchphrases and banalities we encounter in our daily lives. The stereotypical and senseless aspects of human communication cannot be unveiled more convincingly than in their literal conversion into a visual medium. Kunert deliberately oscillates between humor, wit, scurrility and the grotesque. If, indeed, "Life goes on," then, there is no question about it, it is only with the continued delivery of one's daily paper and mail. The tombstone will, of course, need a mailbox and a doorbell, and Mr. Kunert has naturally taken both into account.
On a deeper level, these "Small Worlds" are linked by a reoccurring motif: our deep human desire for security and our fear of loss, as well as our anxiety regarding the transitory nature of life. It is no accident that, despite all of the foliage depicted, there is not a single photograph in this collection that evokes a feeling of summer. In addition, Kunert does not portray secluded suburbia as a neat row of townhouses with carports, but rather as buildings that stem from the early post-war period. Melancholy and dejection pervade these images. "Near the autobahn" illustrates how justified we are in fearing the loss of our sense of safety on an individual level. Here, the freeway literally runs through a residential neighborhood, depriving its inhabitants of any possibility of finding a calm, solitary and safe place to retreat to. The same applies to the photograph entitled "Sunny side": no matter how hard the tenants of this apartment scrub and sweep, or decorate the balcony with potted plants, the plants will shrivel, and there will be no getting away from the traffic.
With his "Small Worlds," Frank Kunert confronts a further menacing loss that our experience-driven "fun society" will undoubtedly encounter in the near future: the loss of imaginativeness and invention in the face of entertainment overload, which has already turned small-town, country-style inns and locales into event gastronomies, and made so-called "adventure pool complexes" out of quaint public indoor swimming pools. The fact that Kunert feels neither affected nor threatened by this loss himself can be gleaned from each and every one of his photographs, as well as the very apparent inexhaustibility of his ideas. Just how much work, time and effort has been put into spinning his visual tales, with seeming ease, becomes readily apparent in the sample models that the artist puts on display when he exhibits his photography, even if the viewers only ever get to see pieces of them.
Kunert's art has often been rightfully compared to the poems of Robert Gernhardt. Kunert's "Small Worlds" are equally funny, whimsical, grotesque, and pensive musings, and they are also provocative and critical. It is left up to the viewers to decide if they find the works morbid, or simply funny; if they want to truly see the deeper level of what the stories are telling them, and if they might even dare to elaborate on them.

This time around, we are going to show you how to customize the Windows 7 login screen. There are various methods to accomplish this, with and without third-party software. I understand many people might not want to rely on a third-party application, while others would appreciate a quicker, safer route. First up is the more hands-on approach, and then the utility.

That's nice, after a while the default logon screen becomes boring.

i know what you mean. But it's still far better than what XP or Vista had.
i don't know why microsoft did made it possible to change it without us having to change the registry or installing a third party program. They worked a lot to make win7 easier to customize and they did a great job. It should have been relatively easy to make it possible to change the background. Maybe in SP1?
There is another 3rd party tool which can do this. TweakNow Powerpack 2009 has a option to change the logon screen background. It also has other tweaks you can do and it completely free. Well worth a look!

What the hell guys? You didn't give me 10 minutes from the moment I posted the article, and now we have two comments... Make it three.
Tweaks.com is very easy to use, but is there anyway of bypassing the 245kb limit? I am only able to upload low resolution picture on my 1080p monitor, which doesn't look very good...
Thank you TechSpot! I really dislike the default Windows 7 logon screen. While I don't look at it all that much, it's still nice to be able to change it to something else. I agree though that Microsoft could have made this task easier for registry-phobic people...

Try making it jpg and lowering the quality from 12 to 10 or 8 and use the optimized algorithm (don't have a photo editing program? try paint.net - it's free). It should make it small enough without loosing too much quality. Also try making the pic a bit bigger and use a few filters like smart blur to make it look better after resizing.
@Julio: a good article makes people want to comment.
I'm not bored with the default one yet, maybe someday I will try this
damn. that's pretty sick. the default win7 themes/images/backgrounds are really nice, but not very exciting. Thanks for the article =DD
You can also change the Logon Screen Wallpaper with TuneUp Utilities
Just built a machine for a friend using ultimate, this is a nice way to further customize the OS for a user
I manually changed a couple months ago the autobots logo in black and white, looks really good, though I wonder if you could change the user login from the middle of the screen.
In case you have way too many things installed on your computer to install more to just change backgrounds and things of the like, you can always google how to do it manually with 3 simple steps
Still this is a very nice tip =)
my copy of windows 7 is the final RC, im not going to do to much in terms of customiazation as its not going to last much longer, but its nice to know that you can do this!
Been using this little app for a while now, it's really good!
Wonderful app. Techspot should do this more often.
Always good to see cool info like this. I didn't know it could be changed.
Awesome Tip, Thanks TS!
Groovy, the standard one is a bit, um, camp?!?
Thanks Julio & T.S
Thanks for the tip!
Great app, I've been using this for a while seen it at askvg
This is awesome and thanks for the useful post. I was wondering how to change my login screen.
this is nice.. there are other utilities out there like tuneup utilities, which can do alot of things.. very useful post indeed, might change my login screen.. but not for now, am not quite bored yet with the default login screen of windows 7.
since I am the only person using the computer, I dont really bother about the login screen =P but it will be nice to be customizable.
Pretty sweet app. Got bored of the same login screen
StaffWonderful app. Techspot should do this more often.
TechSpot should do what more often, out of curiosity?
Good tutorial. I was looking for such utility to change the logon screen..
Nice one-click-wonder-app! Although, I wish I could also move the user/pw dialog to a corner or something.
This is just another way to further personalize my computer, I'm definitely going to check this out. Thanks for the Tip.
Good tool, used it for a while. I sometimes notice that it will revert to the default screen randomly, though this is rare.
Think I'll give this a go, old log on screen gets boring fast
Matthew said:Wonderful app. Techspot should do this more often.

Show us things we don't really think about, like changing the log in wall paper, lol. And the other ones that you turn off certain naggers etc.
That's the whole purpose of the weekly tech tip . Here's our full archive of short yet highly useful tweaks: http://www.techspot.com/guides-tips.shtml
Nice tip. I haven't spent enough time on the logon screen to get bored of it, but this tool will come in handy once I have. :p
Cool - thanks for the lead - I like being able to customise almost everything.
Great. Never really like that dove or hummingbird thing in the default screen.
wait, this has already been featured in a post some time back. but well, looking at the responses i guess it's all good to expose this awesome tweak to more people who are bored with Microsoft's offer.
This has worked perfect for me so far. easy to get others to try it when it doesn't even require an install.
Staffwait, this has already been featured in a post some time back. but well, looking at the responses i guess it's all good to expose this awesome tweak to more people who are bored with Microsoft's offer.
Would you mind linking the specific featured post?
The application that Tweaks has provided is awesome. It is extremely easy to use. Its nice that it doesnt require an install. I was a pain to have login manager run in the background with vista and xp. Great job!
I haven't yet had a chance to upgrade to Windows 7 yet. I'll bookmark this page, so that when I finally do so, I can change the log on screen. Being able to deviate from the default is seen as cool where I am.
tnks for the tip Tech Spot always wanted to change my logon screen W.

If u mean TS should do tips more often well... Tbud they do. :@
Nice little app.
I have been wondering about this since I got windows 7. The standard logon screen is a bit feminine so Its going to be nice to be able to change it. Thanks for the tip.
am I the only one that isnt really bothered with what the logon screen looks like? lol.
Ive never really thought twice about it..since you dont really spend enough time on it to be bored. Oh well, guess this might come in handy, if you want to customise your desktop to the smallest detail
I will try this once I installed Windows 7 on my new rig
I have used the TweaksLogon since the RTM and it works great. One thing that will happen though is, if a user changes Themes the OEM Background can change back to the default. Your new background is still there, it's just switched off. In order to prevent this, you need to add a second registry key. I do this from the CMD line, just copy and past the following into a CMD prompt:
REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System /v UseOEMBackground /t REG_DWORD /d 1
Or create manually in Regedit by going to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System
Create the DWORD key UseOEMBackground and assign a value of 1
I'm super excited that windows is finally allowing more customization without having to use 3rd party programs that bog down the system. The logon screen is nice looking, but as soon as they let you change it from inside the control panel I'll match one to each theme.
@LightHeart: Thanks for sharing that extra bit of information.
Definitely going to take a look at this. Thanks.

Utah has long been known as a bastion of red-state conservatism with deep roots in the Mormon faith. It's the kind of place that has historically been unwelcoming to gay marriage.
The state is the world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which championed California's gay marriage ban that was eventually tossed out in court. The church looms over almost every aspect of life in Utah, where an estimated two-thirds of residents are Mormon.
But, like the rest of America, how gays are received depends on where they live. Some gay couples describe feeling hostility in conservative, heavily Mormon cities such as Provo. The suburban areas that surround Salt Lake City are a mish-mash of family-friendly communities across the political spectrum.
And Salt Lake City is more open to gays than many people outside the state realize.
As they wait for the courts to sort out the legal challenges to the Dec. 20 ruling, three gay couples describe differing experiences in Utah:
"I would rather see you dead than commit this sin"
Cheryl Haws and Shelly Eyre have been partners for eight years in Provo, arguably the most conservative city in Utah.
They have been the target of outright hostility and insults. Eyre left the Mormon church years ago; Haws was ex-communicated, they said.
A Mormon church leader once told Eyre, "'I would rather see you dead than commit this sin,'" Eyre said in what she described as one of her most painful experiences of being gay in Utah.
Provo is in Utah County and home to Brigham Young University, the flagship school for the Mormon faith where students are prohibited from having premarital sex and drinking alcoholic beverages. The county is overwhelmingly Republican; President Barack Obama received less than 10 percent of the vote there in 2012.
The couple was initially turned down for a marriage license by Utah County, which only reluctantly started granting them days after a federal judge struck down the state's ban. The couple got a license Thursday.
Haws and Eyre are licensed clinical social workers with a private counseling practice in Utah County. A few patients abandoned them after their effort to get a marriage license made their relationship widely known.
Eyre said she moved from more gay-friendly Salt Lake City to Provo eight years ago to live with Haws, a mother of seven children from a previous marriage who wanted to stay close to her family.
When Haws' oldest son died in a car accident in 2006, Eyre found her name disappeared from a published obituary as the mother's partner.
But Eyre said the couple has a circle of supporters, including traditional couples who have been "good, kind and generous — people who have protected us."
The struggle in Utah is the same everywhere, Eyre said.
"Just being gay or lesbian and not having support or being afraid your family is going to kick you out or will not speak to you — Catholics and Baptists can be the same way in other states," she said.
"People here, they don't even care"
Jon Jensen has been with his partner more than six years, but it wasn't until last week that the couple finally was able to become husband and husband.
It was a huge moment in their lives, but also, Jensen thinks, a reflection on changing attitudes in the state and more specifically, a backlash against the Mormon church over decades of repression.
Jensen and his husband, Jared Reesor, are more fortunate than others around Utah given they live in Salt Lake City, the state's liberal hub.
With clubs and bars, coffee houses and tattoo parlors, Salt Lake City has become a bustling center for the younger, hipper crowd that doesn't live up to Utah's generally buttoned-up, clean-cut image. That's why Jensen and Reesor, 36, a residential contractor, have chosen to live here.
"People don't even question that you're a gay couple. In Utah County, we'd have to explain who we are," said the 35-year-old software developer. "People here, they don't even care. They don't even bat an eye when you introduce your husband or partner."
Jensen said the changing attitude toward gays in the city is prevalent in the number of outspoken critics he has counted during protests at the annual pride festival.
"It's so reduced at this point it's barely noticeable," he said.
Jensen left the church about 10 years ago while still hiding his sexuality, unable to come to terms with who he was and feeling unwelcomed by those around him.
And now, living in Salt Lake City — without the guilt, without the judging eyes of others — Jensen and his husband are finally feeling free and rewarded for having waited.
They talked about going elsewhere for their nuptials, maybe Hawaii, "but we wanted to be married in our home state. We just never expected it to happen so soon."
"When work and gayness collide that's when things change."
Greg Jaboin is raising two teenage children with his partner in Salt Lake City. He grew up in the Boston suburbs, came out after college and moved to Utah in 2005 after meeting partner Steve Kachocki during a work training trip.
He said Utah is a huge shift from Massachusetts, the first state to legalize same-sex marriage in 2003. Jaboin, who is black, said people stare more often because of his skin color than because they notice he's gay. Utah is more than 90 percent white.
"They can't get past race to get to sexuality until they see Steve," he said, referring to his white husband.
"For the most part, I've had a pretty decent time here being gay," Jaboin said. "However, when work and gayness collide that's when things change."
Jaboin, 35, works in banking, and while there's a relatively diverse workforce and accepting corporate policy, he said he still notices what he calls "passive disapproval" from some Mormon co-workers, such as a normally chatty co-worker turning silent after he brought up on Monday that he'd just gotten married.
Jaboin said having a family helps him gain acceptance in Utah. People become more comfortable with them because their life is similar to that of heterosexual couples, he said.
He said that he thinks full acceptance will come within his lifetime.
"The change will come more fully to Utah in the next 10 years," he said. "Right now, they are a little bit shell-shocked."

Key Events In The History Of Eastman Kodak Co.
The Associated Press
Kodak said Thursday that it is looking to sell its document imaging and personalized imaging businesses to better focus on printing and business services as it works to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Here are key events in the history of Eastman Kodak Co.:
1880 â¿¿ George Eastman begins commercial production of dry plates for photography in a rented loft of a building in Rochester, N.Y.
1888 â¿¿ The name "Kodak" is born and the Kodak camera is marketed with the slogan, "You press the button, we do the rest."
1889 â¿¿ The Eastman Co. is formed, taking over the assets of the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Co. 1892 â¿¿ The company becomes Eastman Kodak Company of New York. 1900 â¿¿ The first Brownie camera is introduced. Selling for $1 and using film that costs 15 cents a roll, it brings hobby photography within financial reach. 1929 â¿¿ The company introduces its first motion picture film. 1935 â¿¿ Kodachrome film is introduced and becomes the first commercially successful amateur color film. 1951 â¿¿ The low-priced Brownie 8mm movie camera is introduced, followed by Brownie movie projector in 1952. 1962 â¿¿ The company's U.S. consolidated sales exceed $1 billion for the first time. Its work force tops 75,000. 1963 â¿¿ Kodak introduces a line of easy-to-use Instamatic cameras with cartridge-loading film (selling more than 50 million by 1970). 1972 â¿¿ Five pocket-size Instamatic cameras that use smaller cartridges are launched. More than 25 million cameras sell in less than three years. 1975 â¿¿ Kodak invents the world's first digital camera. The toaster-size prototype captures black-and-white images at a resolution of 10,000 pixels (.01 megapixels). 1981 â¿¿ Company sales surpass the $10 billion revenue mark. The next year, hometown payroll peaks at 60,400. 1984 â¿¿ Kodak enters the video market with the Kodavision Series 2000 8mm video system and introduces Kodak videotape cassettes in 8mm, Beta and VHS formats, along with a line of floppy disks for computers.Select the service that is right for you!

Dasher & Dancer Purse, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
This purse is a two-in-one deal. Made in Brazil of soft washed leather, the Dasher & Dancer Purse actually consists of a large shoulder bag and a much smaller one that are held together by large snaps. When attached, it gives the impression that the smaller bag really just makes up several front pockets on one main bag. When separated, you can simply select the bag that best suits your needs: small for going out in the evening and large for shopping/errands during the day. The purse would be a wonderful accessory on a vacation, where you are limited in number of bags you are allowed to carry, but might like to have more than one option when you arrive at your destination. Price: $578.

Money advice
The Welfare Rights And Money Advice Service (WRAMAS) provides benefit advice, money advice and consultancy. The service targets those who are less able to claim benefits for themselves and who may be missing out.

Privately rented - landlords
We can provide a service to private landlords, either by helping you make use of your empty accommodation or by providing tenants. We can also give you advice on your rights and obligations as a landlord.
Privately rented - tenants

Severe weather
Each year, the City Council and partners operate a Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) to find accommodation for people who would otherwise be sleeping rough in periods of particularly cold weather. This includes extra temporary hostel beds. The arrangements operate when temperatures are predicted to be zero centigrade or below for three nights in a row.
If you are worried about someone you think might be sleeping rough call St Mungo's Compass Centre on 0117 944 0581 or contact the national rough sleeping helpline at 0300 500 0914 or go to the Street Link website.
Housing benefit
If you are in receipt of Housing Benefit or other benefits, changes made in January 2012 and the upcoming switch to Universal Credit (April 2013) may affect you. Please read our Changes to Housing Benefit page to see how you will be affected.
Helping the homeless
If you would like to help the homeless in your own way, there is a Box Collection Scheme where you can make a donation. These are in shops throughout:
- Broadmead
- Park Street and
- Whiteladies Road.
We actively encourage people to donate to this scheme rather than giving spare change to people that are street begging.

Posted January 16, 2013 on
AP on Fox
Alex Rodriguez had surgery on his left hip Wednesday and is expected to be sidelined until after the All-Star break.
The New York Yankees said Dr. Bryan Kelly repaired a torn labrum and impingement and the operation at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York ''went as planned and without complication.''
The 37-year-old former All-Star third baseman is expected to be released from the hospital on Thursday and the anticipated time for a full recovery is six months. The Yankees signed free agent Kevin Youkilis this offseason to play third base while Rodriguez is out.
Kelly said last week that Rodriguez had a condition known as femoral acetabular impingement and it was caused by genes, not by steroids. Rodriguez admitted in 2009 that he used steroids while with the Texas Rangers from 2001-03.
Kelly said the injury was responsible for Rodriguez's poor performance in September and October, when A-Rod was benched in three of nine postseason games and pinch hit for in three others. He batted .120 (3 for 25) with no RBIs in the playoffs, including 0 for 18 with 12 strikeouts against right-handed pitchers.
Rodriguez is due $114 million over the next five years as part of his record $275 million, 10-year contract, so his health is a major concern for the Yankees.
Describing the bone meeting the socket, Kelly said ''we're basically taking an egg-shaped femoral head and through the use of a camera, a motorized burr and Fluoroscopic imaging, we're reshaping the bone to a predetermined shape.''
A 14-time All-Star, Rodriguez had right hip surgery on March 9, 2009, and returned that May 8. Kelly said the left hip requires more recovery time because Rodriguez is a right-handed hitter and rotates it when he swings.

Selby General Hospital's Hip Replacement program recently received a 5 Star from Healthgrades, the leading provider of information to help consumers make an informed decision about a physician or hospital. The findings are part of American Hospital Quality Outcomes 2013: Healthgrades Report to the Nation, which evaluates the performance of approximately 4,500 hospitals nationwide across nearly 30 of the most common conditions and procedures. Healthgrades bases its objective measures solely on clinical performance.
Healthgrades also released recently new research conducted by Harris Interactive that underscores the importance of educating consumers on clinical outcomes. According to the research, 88 percent of adults agree they have the necessary information to make an informed decision about either a physician or hospital. But most Americans are not aware that there is data available on the chance of dying at a hospital (55 percent) or complication rates (58 percent).
Five-Star Recipient for Total Hip Replacement in 2013
"Selby General Hospital has received recognition from HealthGrades for orthopedic services the past three years (2009-2011). These successes in orthopedics illustrate a commitment to excellence and teamwork among our physicians, employees and volunteers," said Steve Smith, Selby General Hospital president & CEO. "Our program, developed jointly with our physicians, includes comprehensive education and preparation prior to surgery. We appreciate their dedication to providing care that is safe and high quality every day."
A wide variation in quality exists among American hospitals, according to the Healthgrades report. Patients were 61 percent less likely to experience a major in-hospital complication when being treated at a hospital receiving 5 stars when compared with hospitals receiving 1 star across a range of common procedures, such as total knee replacement, gall bladder and spine surgeries.
The Healthgrades study also found that from 2009 through 2011:
A total of 183,534 in-hospital complications could have been avoided during hospital stays if all hospitals performed at a 5-star level.
Patients were 42 percent less likely to experience an in-hospital complication in hospitals receiving 5 stars versus all other hospitals.
For its 2013 hospital quality outcomes analysis, Healthgrades evaluated approximately 40 million Medicare hospitalization records for services performed from 2009 through 2011 at approximately 4,500 short-term, acute care hospitals nationwide.
Healthgrades independently measures hospitals based on data that hospitals submit to the federal government. No hospital can opt in or out of the analysis, and no hospital pays to be measured. Mortality and complication rates are risk adjusted, which takes into each hospital's unique population.
The American Hospital Quality Outcomes 2013: Healthgrades Report to the Nation, including the complete methodology, can be found at www.healthgrades.com/quality.

Searching Google With The Google API
Handling The Returned Data From The Web Service
There is a quite a bit of information returned from performing a search with the API. We will only cover the essentials – if you're really interested, you can simple var_dump() the results to see what else is available:
The returned data contains an array called resultElements
, which contain the returned results. So if this array is empty, there were no results. To output them, we simply loop over this array and output each one.
Each result element contains the following data:
— the URL of the web sitetitle
— the title of the web sitesnippet
— a brief summary of the web site content
There are other fields it contains, that we don't need right now.
Additionally, the returned data contains the following:
— the search that was performedestimatedTotalResultsCount
— the number of results (approximately) the search yieldedstartIndex
— the position in the search of the first returned result (e.g. if we were fetching page 2)endIndex
— the position in the search of the last returned resultsearchTime
— the time in seconds it took Google to perform the search
Now, using all this data we can output the search results:
$numResults = count($result['resultElements']);
 Search term:  $result['searchQuery']
 if ($numResults) == 0) {
 Your search yielded no results.
 } else {
 Results $result['startIndex'] to $result['endIndex'] of $result['estimatedTotalResultsCount']
 foreach ($result['resultElements'] as $row) {
 $row['title']

 $row['snippet']

 $row['URL']
 } }
And that's all there is to it!
Now we can combine this with a simple search form to create our own Google frontend. This file will be our google.php
