Twitter and Co. to Protect Ubuntu Users with Update Alerts
A new alert system should warn Ubuntu users via micro-blogging about potentially harmful updates.
In theory it should not happen, but in practice it occurs over and over: a particular package from Ubuntu's archives causes undo problems for many Ubuntu users. One example was in 2006 when an update disturbed the X server and left many users with a black screen after a reboot.
On the ubuntu-devel mailing list, Ubuntu's Robbie Williamson announced that he would taking measures to deal with such situations more effectively. The Twitter and Identi.ca microblogging services will handle through users subscribing to one of the following accounts:
The feeds will return an alert in case of a update problem. It will at least keep users from carrying through with the update until the issue has been fixed.
The effectiveness of the alert system will prove itself in practice, because its success depends on (a) how many Ubuntu users subscribe to Twitter or Identi.ca and (b) how many will subscribe to the feed. Better yet is for Ubuntu developers to thoroughly test updates to prevent the issues in the first place.

|Warranty Summary
|1 Year manufacturer warranty for the Tablet, 6 months manufacturer warranty for other inbox accessories
Available at about 26k+tax in us(with international warranty, but not works in inda). What asus India was dreaming about, when they were puting such a high price tag in inda. First they are launched it 2 months late and now at this price tag when ipad3 is out. In short fail asus-India. Thumbs down. Asus India grow up and come out of your dream world. Android tabs got no option's other than to offer better hardware specs against iOS tab, which is aka iPad. Android need to cover long distance to come even near to the iOS. It's like picking up Ubuntu(free) or windows(paid and costly) for deskt... (Expand)
If you all know this is the best Android tablets around. It is simply amazing with superb performance. But the people at Asus were in such a hurry they messed it all up. It has a tragic release story in the US and same was in India.
Tagged at an MRP of 50,000 anyone would go for a fully functional netbook rather than this.
Biggest tragedy was the Wi-Fi and GPS issues. Since there are two Wi-Fi antennas and one GPS antenna it should have a strong signal. But it's opposite, it hardly picks up any signal. Major Flaw.
The problem went so out of control go and check Asus Global website they... (Expand)
This must be the Tf201/Transformer Prime.
Asus didnt launch the TF101 32gb model in India. The 16gb model is available for 30k. 16k extra for 16gb more when it has a microSD slot in the tablet and an additional SD slot on the keyboard with 2 usb ports makes no sense.
If it is the Transformer Prime, then its a fantastic tablet, but 46k is still very pricey.
The rating/ 5 star is for the tablet, not the price. Both the original TF101 with tegra2 and TF201 with Tegra3 are great android tablets. The best if you need the extra battery life and productivity of the keyboard.
Hi Guys.........
this is tf201 not tf101 and it has a Nvidia Tegra 3 Quad Core Processor....... not 1gz but 1.2 approx.... it has a super ips panel display.......which is currently better than ipad2 also...
ready to be updated to android vs4.0 out of the box.... very good for replacing a laptop... but very expensive and no docking station provided.....which means another 5000 bucks for it.............. also no 3g..... so pls think and buy..... coz half a lakh matters a lot........
Price should be half of this.
Considering the fact that Sony, IPad, Samsung are there in the market. how can Asus think of even this price range.
Only 1 GHZ processor and no Quad core even on this price range.
Further no dates available for ICS updates.
Price needs revision ASAP.
Asus EEE Pad Transformer Prime TF201 is the BEST tablet in the world for a year now. It justifies the high price tag. One you own this tablet, you wouldn't want everybody else owning one too.
Asus has got rid of all the said WiFi and GPS issues. It now comes bundled with Ice Cream Sandwich out o... (View complete review)
Better get official Indian iPad2 for 25000. When the US version costs 2K, Rs46K is too much . Not sure what ASUS was thinking when they priced it at such. It may have Qua-core or better performance, for this price a big NO. Better I would live teh walled garden of Apple. (View complete review)

This holiday season, Greenville residents are joining millions of people across the U.S. and around the world to fill empty shoeboxes with toys, school supplies and hygiene items for 9.8 million impoverished children.
During Operation Christmas Child's National Collection Week, Nov. 18–25, two collection sites in the Greenville area will receive the packed boxes. Samaritans Purse tells 9 On Your Side the shoebox gifts are then processed, prepared and delivered to suffering children in more than 100 countries using whatever means necessary—trains, airplanes, boats, elephants, bikes and even dog sleds.
This year, Greenville residents hope to contribute 5,500 gifts to the global collection goal of 9.8 million gift-filled shoeboxes. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected more than 100 million shoebox gifts and delivered them to needy children.
Anyone can participate in Operation Christmas Child. Samaritan's Purse tells us the time to pack a shoebox gift is now. For more information on how to participate in Operation Christmas Child, or to find the nearest drop-off site, call (704) 583-1463 or visit samaritanspurse.org.
Operation Christmas Child, a project of international Christian relief and evangelism organization Samaritan's Purse, headed by Franklin Graham, is the world's largest Christmas project of its kind. Through simple gifts and a message of hope, children learn they are loved and not forgotten. For many of these children, the shoebox gift will be the first gift they have ever received.
Using special tracking technology, participants can also "follow" their shoebox and discover the country in which their gift will be delivered to a child in need. To register a shoebox gift, use the donation form online.

Air raid sirens wail in Jerusalem, signaling a possible rocket attack aimed at Israel's capital: apne.ws/U3UaeK -KH—
The Associated Press (@AP) November 16, 2012
What was the Associated Press' terrible, no-good mistake in that tweet that required a correction?
Air raid sirens in Jerusalem signal a possible rocket attack aimed at Israel's self-declared capital: apne.ws/ZXOoMR -KH (correction)—
The Associated Press (@AP) November 16, 2012
That's right: Jerusalem is Israel's "self-declared capital," according to the AP. Guess that's a step up from the BBC which won't recognize Jerusalem as the capital at all.
@AP You had it right the first time. Jerusalem IS the capital of Israel, no matter what @TheDemocrats want to think.—
Flora Duh (@FloraDuh1) November 16, 2012
@AP does every country not self declare their capital? why can't you simply say Jerusalem Israel's capital, after all that's what it is—
Danni (@dannighirl) November 16, 2012
As of 10:40 a.m. ET, the Associated Press article linked in that tweet still refers to Jerusalem as "Israel's capital." But evidently, the news organization developed new standards for Twitter after coming under criticism from UN boosters.
@AP Jerusalem is not the Capitol, but rather Tel Aviv. Almost no nations recognize it; it is mainly a unilateral acceptance by #Israel—
Caleb F Merrill (@Caleb_FM) November 16, 2012
@AP @jongambrellAP Err, Jerusalem is not the capital… It's Tel Aviv, unless you know something the UN & the rest of the us dosn't yet.—
Tola Sarumi (@AfroVII) November 16, 2012
@AP When did Jerusalem become Israel's capital? Tel Aviv is Israel's capital. Or is AP also run by Zionists?—

As of 11:00 a.m. ET, the Associated Press article refers to Jerusalem as "Israel's self-declared capital."

Alaska, United States
Capital City: Juneau
Closest Airport: Anchorage International
Population: 626,932
Resort Area: Anchorage - Girdwood - Fairbanks - Juneau
Snow Season: November/December - March/April
Main Language: English
Currency: United States Dollar
There are two reasons why you might be considering skiing or snowboarding in Alaska. Either you fancy yourself as a bit of an Alexander Supertramp (minus the unhappy ending) or the last time you hit the slopes in France there were bits of rock and grass poking through and you made a pledge - "next year I'm going somewhere where it actually snows".
With 15 plus metres of snowfall a year, even the local wildlife has a hard job getting around in Alaska. Not that that's of any concern to you as you float over the top.
And if you want remote, well, there's a vastness about Alaska that can't help but put the office politics into perspective. It's not just the views either. On the slopes, this isn't a place where you constantly have to check over your shoulder before putting in a turn. Look back at the end of a run and you won't see hundreds of little black dots carving up your tracks.
Alyeska Resort, only 65 kms (40 miles) south, of Anchorage is Alaska's premier ski resort, with a wide range of terrain for all standards and snow in bucket loads. You've got a vertical descent of around 600 metres (just under 2,000 feet), a skiable area of around a thousand acres, great beginner runs, night skiing, a board park and wide open snow bowls. The night life isn't terrific (you need to head for Anchorage to really party), but that didn't stop this place recently being voted one of the world's top 25 resorts.
One step more remote is Moose Mountain, a fair bit further north near Fairbanks. The resort is a lot smaller than Alyeska and the vertical drop is less dramatic. That said, there are some challenging black runs here. A third option is Eaglecrest - near Juneau.

Hamels struggles in spring debut
Lefty ace surrenders two homers in two innings vs. Yanks
PHILLIES 7, YANKEES 7 (9 innings)
at Tampa, Fla.
Sunday, March 2
Yankees at the plate: Jason Giambi christened the new right-field party deck at Legends Field with a three-run homer in the first inning, the slugger's first homer of the spring. Giambi added a run-scoring double up the gap in left-center in the third. Jason Lane belted a solo homer, his first, in the second inning, and tripled in the fourth.
Phillies on the mound: Cole Hamels surrendered two home runs in his first start of the spring, serving up deep drives to Giambi in the first inning and Lane in the second inning. Hamels walked two and struck out two, throwing 44 pitches, 31 for strikes. Fabio Castro allowed the run-scoring double to Giambi and threw a wild pitch in the third.
Yankees on the mound: Andy Pettitte threw two scoreless innings in his Grapefruit League debut, walking one and striking out one. Pettitte allowed an infield single to Pedro Feliz in the second and promptly caught him looking with his trademark pickoff move. Steven White allowed a run on three hits in the third.
Grapefruit records: Yankees 1-0-1; Phillies 2-2-1.
Up next: The Phillies will play two games on Monday, meeting the Pirates for a 9:30 a.m. ET "B" game at Bright House Field in Clearwater, Fla., before playing a regularly scheduled game at 1:05 p.m. ET. Left-hander Jamie Moyer (14-12, 5.01 ERA in '07) starts the regularly scheduled game for the Phillies, while right-hander Yoslan Herrera (no record) pitches for the Bucs.
The Yankees head north to play their second road game of the spring, meeting the Astros in Kissimmee, Fla., at 1:05 p.m. ET. Right-hander Mike Mussina (11-10, 5.15 ERA in '07) makes his '08 Grapefruit League debut after pitching two innings in intrasquad action last week. Left-hander Wandy Rodriguez (9-13, 4.58 ERA in 2007) counters for Houston.

Visa documents are maintained in the Immigration database known as SEVIS, the Student & Exchange Visitor Information System. ISSS is required to update each student's enrollment each fall and spring semester. Other information such as funding, major, expenses, etc., must also be kept current. This system is overseen by Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) within the Department of Homeland Security.
The visa stamp is, basically, a "ticket" issued by a U.S. consulate, giving an individual permission to request entry into the U.S. to, in our students' cases, obtain an education. The visa stamp can and often does expire; however, an expired visa stamp has no effect on a student's eligibility to be in the U.S. should the student return home for a visit and the visa stamp is expired, a new visa stamp must be applied for at the local U.S. consulate. There is no government office within the U.S. where a visa stamp can be issued.
Basic requirements for F-1 and J-1 statuses (most of ODU's international students are on an F-1 visa):
- Minimum required courseload in the fall and spring semesters (more information for each academic level above)
- Prohibition of off-campus employment without written persmission from ISSS and/or Immigration
- Maintenance of an address overseas to which the student will return once degree is completed
- Maintain "normal progress" in current program (keeping minimum grades)*
*continuation of "normal progress" toward the completion of the current academic program; while Immigration does not require a minimum GPA, repeated class failure would mean that the student is not making normal progress and, therefore, if an extension of the visa document is requested, it would have to be denied.
If the visa status is violated, then the student must either request the reinstatement of his/her visa or leave the U.S. and return on a new visa document.
Professors sometimes contact our office, fearful that a student will be deported; this very rarely happens and only in cases where the students have been in serious violation of Immigration laws. In cases where a student claims that getting a bad grade will result in deportation, we advise the professor that the student must get the grade s/he deserves.

Writing minutes will save you hours
Taking minutes sounds like something that the secretary on MadMen would do.
But recording what happens in your meetings will help your group keep track of progress and minutes will help remind everyone what was decided in the meeting including the scope of the project, next tasks, and who does what, and when.
The reason for taking minutes is to make sure that everyone has the same understanding as to what happened during the meeting and what decisions were made. Also, it'll also help you keep a record in case one of your group members doesn't follow through with the tasks.
It's not difficult. Your team will need to appoint someone to take notes during the meeting, and to send them out after the meeting. You can use your agenda to help organize your notes.
Here's what minutes from your group meeting might look like:
September 31st
Group meeting for class
In attendance: Joel, Jeremy, Gina, and George
Missing: No one
1. Review scope of project
We came prepared to discuss the project as laid out in the syllabus. We listed the tasks we think need to be accomplished in order to meet our goal of getting at A on this project. We compiled a list of each of our strengths and weaknesses as it pertains to this project.
2. Create timeline
We have four weeks to complete both the 10-page paper and the 20 minute presentation. Since they both cover the same material, we'll work on both pieces together.
- Oct. 14th: meet again to go over the case questions and answer questions as a group. We'll all need to read the case and make notes on the case before this date.
- Oct. 24th: There are six questions, so Joel, Gina, and George will write up the answers to two questions each no later than Oct. 24. Jeremy will compile Joel, Gina, and George's work and edit them into a cohesive paper.
- Oct. 26th: Jeremy will submit the edited version to everyone else.
- Nov. 2: We'll all meet again to create outline for the powerpoint.
- Nov. 5: Gina and George will create powerpoint slides (Since they're good with graphic design)
- Nov. 8: Jeremy will submit the paper and George will submit the powerpoint deck. We also will need to set a meeting time for practicing our presentation.
- Nov. 9: Give the presentation!
3. Next steps
As per our timeline, everyone needs to read over the case and study the questions. We'll meet again on October 14th at 2pm in the Library Learning Terrace to create the outline for our paper. Come prepared with notes and your own thoughts on the answers to the case questions.

After a surprising pick by the Golden State Warriors, a steal falls into Detroit's lap in the gifted big man from Georgetown. He spent two years with the Hoyas, averaging 16.1 points and 9.8 rebounds as a senior.
At 6-11, 247 pounds, Monroe should slide right in to the frontcourt rotation for Detroit, who used a combination of Ben Wallace and Kwame Brown at center last season.
Interesting tidbit — he'll be reunited, at least temporarily, with former Hoyas teammate DaJuan Summers, a rookie last season.
It's Detroit's first lottery pick since it took Darko back in 2003. You have to think this selection will work out a little better for the Pistons.

Staff Writer
---- — The local woman who brutally murdered a Gloucester mother, stabbing the woman 108 times in her Mansfield Street home in 1998, has been denied her bid for parole in a unanimous decision released last week by the Massachusetts Parole Board.
Barbara Goucher pleaded guilty to her crime in 1999, 500 days after she stabbed Florence "Bunny" Munroe, then tried to cover up her involvement by seeking out a false alias and thoroughly cleaning the woman's home. Now, more than 14 years later, she failed to show sufficient remorse for her violent actions, and showed no history of participating in drug rehabilitation programs despite the fact that drugs fueled the Munroe's murder, according to the board's official decision.
"Ms. Goucher's responses focused on her remorse for taking Ms. Munroe's life; however, she appeared to struggle with appreciating that the level of violence she inflected puts her in a small category of offenders," the board wrote. "The (Munroe) family and board members expressed concern that Ms. Goucher may not appreciate the gravity of how many people were affect by Ms. Munroe's death."
Goucher has served 15 years of a life sentence for the second degree murder charge, and this year marked her first eligibility for parole.
According to court documents, Munroe had allowed Goucher, who was reportedly indigent and drug-addicted, to live in her home for a period of time, but eventually asked her to leave. Goucher returned to the home and chased Munroe around the house, grasping for her purse and stabbing her in a pursuit of money and drugs, according to court documents. Goucher had stolen a $50 hand-held gaming device and other items from Munroe and her then-13-year-old daughter while living in their home, and she was unable to repay the debt.
Munroe's children — including the daughter, who discovered her body after the slaying — spoke against Goucher's release at her March 26 parole hearing.
"Tammy Munroe provided testimony of how finding her mother's body has resulted in her own trauma history and as a result, her own children have suffered," the parole board noted.
Goucher gave a tearful opening statement at her parole hearing, according to documents. She accepted responsibility for Munroe's death, but said her drug addiction and drug abuse had led to her actions. Goucher acknowledged her continued struggle with her own anger, but spoke about her desires to "learn responsibility all over again" and to "learn to co-exist again in society in a productive manner."
Essex Assistant District Attorney Elin Graydon, prosecuting the case, argued the basis of Goucher's goals and insisted that Goucher has not demonstrated her desire to overcome her demons because she has yet to enroll in a drug rehabilitation program or in anger management counseling.
"Before she was incarcerated, she did not live responsibly or as a productive member of society," Graydon said. "Moreover, it does not appear that she has engaged in significant programming specifically to address her anger and impulsiveness."
Goucher told the board she had focused her time instead on enrolling in occupational and educational classes. A Boston Globe article about a program that connects military veterans with assistance dogs trained in jails, featured Barbara Goucher as a program participant in 2007. The prosecution noted that Goucher has not participated in that program since September 2012.
The parole board, in deciding against granting Goucher parole, noted that members could not be certain that, if released, Goucher would follow the law and not be "incompatible with the welfare of society."

When I talk to potential clients, I find myself explaining what my company, AK Collections, is all about. Often, people think I'm a collection agency. In fact, I am not at all similar to a collection agency.
I handle my client's collection calls, acting like an extension of my client's business. I work with their customers, collecting monies owed my clients.
My intention is to spare the client-customer relationship so the two can continue to do business on open credit.
I am tenacious on behalf of my clients. After all, they pay me to do just this. But I do not threaten or intimidate their customers.
Unfortunately, there are times I have to turn a customer over to a collection agency. At that point, I'm no longer looking to save the account or work with them any longer. (It makes sense. And it is a better use of my clients' dollars.)
See the difference?
For my clients, it's like having another employee in their office.
And I treat my clients like I'm in their office, giving them 110% percent.
If I need to visit a customer, I will do that if at all possible. I don't charge upfront fees. And if I see ways to improve my client's aging, I will make suggestions.
What do you need?
Not every client wants a full-time collector. In fact, some clients just want advice.
If that's you, I am happy to provide consulting services.
I can review your aging and the procedures of your collections department, make suggestions, and help put my proven collections procedures in place in your business.
For more information, please contact me at 845-928-6299 or e-mail me at: firstname.lastname@example.com my site: www.akcollectionsservices.com

As a young man, Chris Barnard, founder of Boston Breweries was curious to discover more of the world and see what lay beyond his African home. Having completed his training in computer studies, at age 21, he explored Europe where he tasted and enjoyed many different styles of beer - from a German Dark Weizen to Greek lagers. When he eventually returned home to Cape Town, he was disappointed to find that his local beer drinking options did not live up to the flavoursome tastes he was accustomed to. Not one to accept things as they are, Chris gradually began experimenting with the brewing process and a few years later, after a fact-finding tour to Southern Germany, Chris purchased a 100 litre system and Brewing began to take place.

As lawmakers on Capital Hill continue to talk gun control. Many of the weapons being considered to be banned are under heavy demand.
But, it's not only the firearms that are flying off the shelves. So are many of the popular rounds of ammunition.
The officers at the Metropolis Police Department carry two types of weapons. One is their AR-15 Tactical Rifle and the other their .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol.
And Chief Harry Masse says it's the pistol rounds that he's having difficulty getting his hands on at this time.
"We've been told from our supplier that pistol ammunition is almost become nonexistent," said Chief Masse. "They won't even give us an estimated time of when we're going to be able to get our order filled."
The department recently ordered two thousand rounds of .223 caliber ammo for their tactical weapons. But they only received a thousand rounds.
The demand for ammo isn't only coming from police departments and the military. Chief Masse says firearm owners are buying up huge supplies.
"I guess a better word for it would be hoarding. I'm hearing that as soon as it hits the shelves in the retail stores it's being bought up. So the manufacture just can't keep up with the demand."
At this time Chief Masse says his department has enough ammunition for it's daily needs and requirements. But they have a firearms qualification coming up in a couple of months that will use thousands of rounds of ammunition.
"They claim that law enforcement and the military are always the priority. And that they'll fill our orders instead of the civilian demands. But we'll soon find out," said Chief Masse.
The ammunition shortage isn't the only problem the department is facing. Chief Masse says the cost of the rounds has jumped a lot.
"I used to complain when they cost us seven to eight cents a round, now they're costing us thirty cents a shot. And there's 50-rounds per box. So it adds up quickly."

What Can We Learn from Celebrities Who Appear in Drug Ads and TV Commercials?

How to Avoid Drug Conflicts and Interactions
When we are given a new prescription drug, or if we decide to take an over-the-counter drug, we need to be aware that the new drug might conflict with another drug, an herbal supplement or even a food or beverage. Here are some things to know about avoiding drug conflicts and interactions.
How to Safely and Legally Buy Drugs from Online Pharmacies
Buying prescription drugs online - or any drugs online - can be easy, convenient and money-saving. Or it can be a nightmare, robbing you of your money and/or your health. Learn how to purchase your prescription drugs safely and legally from an online pharmacy.

Why Do Prescription Drug Errors Occur?
If your doctor prescribes a drug for you, it's possible that by the time the written or verbal prescription makes it through the dispensing process, you will be given the wrong drug or the wrong dosage or the wrong instructions. Empowered patients understand the perils of drug errors.
Double Checking Your Doctor's Prescription
Written prescriptions are difficult to decipher because they often contain shorthand, acronyms and abbreviations. Here are some guidelines for understanding written prescriptions.
How Patients Can Protect Themselves from Harmful Newly Approved Drugs or Devices
The FDA approval process does not guarantee that the pharmaceutical drugs or medical devices it approves are safe and effective for the patients who will be treated using them. Learn what you can do to protect yourself from newly approved drugs or devices that are not safe.
Is It Possible Newly FDA Approved Drugs and Medical Devices Aren't Safe?
New pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices are approved regularly by the FDA. As patients, we assume that means they are safe and effective. But there are some reasons why those drugs may not turn out to be exactly what we hope. Here are some considerations to be aware of.
Why It's Important to Dispose of Drugs Safely and Properly
There are health and environment considerations for disposing of unwanted, unneeded or expired drugs. Here are the reasons we need to take specific steps to dispose of drugs.
How to Properly Dispose of Drugs

How to Properly Dispose of Medical Needles and Sharps

What are Sharps?
what medical devices are considered to be sharps?
Counterfeit Drugs -- From Organized Crime to Neighborhood Pharmacies
Counterfeit drugs have made their way into America's legal drug supply, making us sick, threatening our lives, or at the very least, preventing us from their promise of improving our health. Understanding how these bogus drugs get into the pharmacy, and how it is we may be given the fake drugs to take, helps us learn how to prevent being harmed by them.
Natural Herbal Weight Loss Drugs Supplements: Contaminated, Dangerous
The FDA has determined that at least 28 "natural" or "herbal" weight loss drugs and supplements are contaminated with dangerous ingredients which may lead to debilitation or death. Find the most recent list of dangerous weight loss drugs and learn why they may harm you.
Abbreviations and Acronyms Used on Written Prescriptions
The abbreviations and acronyms doctors use when they write prescriptions can be confusing, and make it more difficult for us to understand what has been prescribed. This list of those abbreviations will help you decipher the code and help you better understand your doctor's instructions.
How and Why to Review Your Drugs and Regimen
Over time, we may begin taking supplements, or may be prescribed drugs that help us in the short term, but should be adjusted or eliminated over time. Here's when and how to review your entire drug regimen on a regular basis to be sure you're taking only what you need, and not spending health or money on those you don't.

The surface of the pad has noticeable ridges. The ridges of the pad are where the vast majority of the debris is captured. The pad itself is also very firm.
Key to the efficiency of the pad is its waterproof fabric: even in the late ends of a game, you will still see frost accumulation on the surface [...]

Three of a kind, bird of a feather
How to dance the Purk
Dirt. People gotta love dirt. It surrounds the earth. Not a single soul can escape from it. If you run, it will only catch you sooner. You can use it for mud pies, or for making castles, soften your skin or throw at someone you want to tease with.
The royal two, the Queen and King walked back to their mansion after having put their horses back in the stables. They Queen loved the nature, and to see it from a horse was even better. The King… well he loved the Queen. Even after many years he had not been able to get rid of his fear of animals. Nothing wrong with animals, but they are so unpredictable and they jump and they seem to want to say a lot of things through biting and scratching. But he did love the Queen, and she had made him chose three animals that he were forbidden from saying no to if she wanted him to come. He had chosen horse, turtle and penguin hoping that her Highness never would get any of them. He was wrong. The next day four baby penguins had taken over the bathroom and even though they had gotten their own room after only a week, the King still had nightmares about them jumping out when he went to the loo.
"You were better today." The Queen smiled at her husband.
"I were?" The King high fived himself in the back of his mind.
"Yes, I could barely see you sulking. You are getting better at pretending to like things for me."
The Queen leaned over to the King and kissed him. "Thank you."

Newburyport Daily News
---- — SALISBURY — A 67-year-old Attleboro man, claiming to be walking home, was picked up by state police in Salisbury Sunday night on the breakdown lane of Interstate 495 south.
According to police, the man had been a part-time resident at a Thomaston, Maine, boarding house and slipped out of the facility earlier to begin what would have a 224-mile trek between the coastal Maine town and southern Massachusetts. By car, the trip would take almost four hours without traffic delays.
The man, identified as Hazen O'Claire, was picked up by state troopers in Newbury around 7 p.m. Sunday after the barracks received numerous 911 calls from concerned motorists. A call to the facility's manager confirmed O'Claire was a voluntary resident who has walked away from the boarding house several times in the past.
O'Claire was given a ride up to the New Hampshire border, where state police in that state shuttled him up to the Maine border. There, a Maine state trooper picked him up and drove him back to the facility.

Placer County has recently begun a program that will sell used surplus equipment through two online vendors. Contracting with these services will help the county reduce its overflow of used equipment currently filling the county's lone warehouse.
What has resulted is that the Procurement Services Division has an extensive list of surplus items with limited storage facilities to house them. The Auctioneer under contract with Placer County has reviewed this equipment and declared that it is neither effective nor profitable for their agency to continue to sell this material on behalf of the county. The county's research has identified that while this material is not difficult to sell in a live auction setting, it is more effective and beneficial to utilize an online auction system for sale of surplus equipment. These online systems are similar to eBay in that they allow for members of the public to bid on items without having to attend a live auction.
"We are excited at this opportunity to streamline our surplus operation and enable a much broader audience the chance to utilize our surplus material," said Brett Wood, Placer County Purchasing Manager.
Public Surplus and Gov Deals are the two service providers that will be helping Placer County reduce its surplus of excess equipment. Both companies have similar contracts with other governmental agencies for the sale of equipment through online auctions. Each firm will provide comprehensive sales reports to allow the Division to track and manage sales, ensuring compliance with County policy.
Gov Deals can be accessed at this website: http://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm. Public Surplus can be accessed at this website: http://www.publicsurplus.com/. Placer County's Procurement Division will have online access on its website at a later date.
The auctions are planned to be on-going with Procurement posting items each week with two-week windows for each item or group of items being sold. Placer County anticipates a much better return for surplus office and computer equipment. The county is still investigating requirements for posting surplus vehicles to sell online and anticipates doing so in the future. Sales prices for vehicles are expected to be much closer to retail value when compared to traditional auction methods. Online sales of the county's surplus equipment is estimated to bring in between $10,000 and $25,000 annually. Vehicle sales will increase that amount.
This approach to online sale of surplus equipment is widely used in California and throughout other public agencies with strong success. This type of sale is familiar to the public and provides members of the public the opportunity to bid for surplus equipment that otherwise can be very difficult to sell.

Positive vibes are all around the women's professional basketball world with the Mystics hiring a very well respected coach in the WNBA.
Thibault says he will focus on free agency before making any decisions about whether or not to break up the core of the WNBA-worst Mystics.
After demanding it for quite some time, in multiple posts and comments, Monumental Sports and Entertainment finally did the right thing and terminated Trudi Lacey yesterday. Before I get to...
We want to build teams in the NBA, NHL and WNBA that are generationally great. And by great I mean teams that: * Qualify for the playoffs year after year * Are in contention for a championship * Make the community and fan base proud * Are popular and can sell out every game * Ultimately win a ring That isn't easy. If you make the playoffs year after year, you have the opportunity to win a ring. It is obviously difficult to have all three teams in synch, but I would love to see the Capitals, Wizards and Mystics all participating in the playoffs in the same year at Verizon Center! ...The Capitals and the Wizards currently are in different stages of their development. The Caps have made the playoffs five years in a row. ...The Wizards are just entering the third year of a rebuilding project (more on that during our Wizards Q & A), but we probably have made the most amount of change in the shortest amount of time in the NBA of late. ...The Mystics altered course from a team built around youth to a more veteran team. The plan is not working as we thought. So we will have to work together and implement a plan that gets us back to being a playoff participant.Washington Mystics owner Ted Leonsis reiterates that he wants all three teams he owns to be generational and specifically mentions the Mystics in an answer without being asked about the WNBA team specifically. This comes from Japers' Rink, the SB Nation Washington Capitals blog.
The boss gives his praise on Mo's return as well as our 85-81 win over the Atlanta Dream last night on his blog. It also appears that he is developing a plan after this season is over in regards to the building of this team. Sheila Johnson is involved in the discussions of course. Thank you again Mystics for a win yesterday!
Ted Leonsis writes a eulogy on his blog. Cohen was a minority partner of former Mystics owner Abe Pollin's enterprise, Washington Sports and Entertainment and remained in the enterprise after the ownership change last year. RIP.
After last offseason, this question went through my mind. It is actually quite sad that I even have to ask that question, and it hurts more when the same owners of the NBA team I love also own the...
Here is what I do find NOT acceptable. If I hear a radio station sportscaster again say, "I didn't even know the WNBA season had started"; when we buy advertising on that station; or we do promotions on that station for the team then we will simply take our business elsewhere. Pretty simply, we will spend our money where we get respect and a shared commitment to grow the game.Washington Mystics majority owner Ted Leonsis about his support for the WNBA as well as women's sports on his blog, Ted's Take
The general concepts laid out in Ted Leonsis' 10 point plan to building a championship team plan are applicable not only for the pro teams in Washington, but I think they can be applicable to any...

The lights are on
Member - Level 4
Mommy's Best Games tried their hand at the Serious Sam
series with Double D in 2011. The installment featured 2D side scrolling,
frantic firefights, and the trademark humor that is hardly ever understandable,
yet somehow always funny. They're back with Serious Sam DD XXL. And if the name
tells you anything, it's that you'll be getting much more bang for your buck
this time around.
It would be easy to pass off DD XXL as an expansion; it
would also be wrong. DD XXL has over 30 new levels, along with new weapon
upgrades and abilities that not only add to the original Double D gameplay, but
alter it at every turn.
Chief among these additions, and arguably the most enticing
one, is cooperative play. If you've played Serious Sam Double D, you'll immediately
know why this is ludicrous: killing giant, robotic dinosaurs and a slew of
headless kamikaze soldiers is more mayhem than anyone could ask for, but adding
another player to the mix? Again, I'll say it. Ludicrous.
Playing side by side with a friend on the same screen –– the
only co-op experience allowed –– does slow the frame rate at Defcon 1, when
there are more explosions on screen than not, but it hardly ever hinders the
flow of shooting, jumping, and killing for more than a couple seconds. There is
no friendly fire, and players can't run into each other, so adding someone else
just ensures that your brain will understand even less of what is happening
Speaking of unfathomable concepts, the aforementioned humor
of Serious Sam Double D is back with DD XXL, in spades. If you think you've
seen it all once you pick a few flying chimps with axes for hands out of the
sky, wait until you're staring down the gaping maw of the terrifyingly
hilarious Vuvuzelators –– kamikaze pancake stacks dripping with syrup and using
the destructive power of ear drum-damaging vuvuzelas. If you've ever watched a
World Cup match, you know what these horn-like instruments look like –– just
imagine them exploding.
Everything about DD XXL exudes zaniness; flying, fire
breathing cats, hidden "love-making" rooms, and carnivorous beetle-launching
grenade launchers, to name a few.
As with Double D, the weapons are core of the gameplay in DD
XXL. There are platforming and aiming involved –– the latter can be a little
too sensitive at times when when you're setting your sights on a specific enemy
–– but most of the time, you'll just be focused on shooting anything that
Weapon upgrades ensure that this won't become repetitive,
though. Not only does each new weapon upgrade change the way you approach each
firefight, but encourages exploration as well. Hard-to-reach areas and
translucent walls permeate every level, and searching for them is more fun than
it sounds.
The Jump Pad functions essentially as a spring box,
launching you to new heights and even allowing wall jumps a la Mario 64. There
are numerous challenge rooms to unlock by exploring. These side missions task
you with completing tasks in a finite amount of time or surviving until the
enemies are depleted. These challenges, along with ammo and health dumps, are
great rewards for exploration, but the weapon upgrades are the real light at
the end of the insanity-ridden tunnel.
The weapon upgrades do their parts to open up new methods of
fighting, but the Gunstacker ability changes everything. Should you find enough
improvements to your "gunstack," you'll be able to stack six weapons on top of
each other. There are no other rules to this; I spent the first two levels
swapping out Tommy guns for shotguns, grenade launchers for chainsaws, and new
weapon upgrades in between. One gunstack was enough to keep me on my toes and
my strategy dynamic, but then I had enough upgrades to start another column.
This ensured that every checkpoint was another chance to get
lost in the possibilities of gunstack combinations. Toward the end of my first
single player playthrough, I had one combination designed specifically for
bosses, a second for close quarters, and a third for everything else. Should I
find every upgrade –– and trust me, I want to –– I'll have eight of these
towering death dealers.
Head-to-head arenas pit you against your friend, complete
with any abilities and upgrades you might have, and provide a respite from the
chaotic cooperative campaign. Leaderboards function as a means to bragging
rights –– as with any other game they're included in –– but the real fun will
be plowing through a horde of horrifyingly creative enemies with obnoxious
The most impressive thing about DD XXL is how often you'll
change your play style to fit the dynamic gameplay, not the other way around.
Sure, there are customization options for everything from the controls to the
weapons you're controlling –– but the real joy I found in DD XXL was
experiencing just how much one upgrade made me rethink my tactics. XXL is more
than an expansion; it's a downloadable title that delivers its worth ten times
Score: 8.5 out of 10

Local kids who trekked through Nepal post trailer of their documentary on YouTube
Original post made by andrea gemmet on Jan 3, 2007
Kenny Meehan and Matt McCroskey of Menlo Park led a group of high school students, including some from Menlo-Atherton and Summit Prep, to villages in the remote Himalayas where they got to know teenage Nepali students.
To prepare for the trip, the group took photography and video classes at the Riekes Center in Menlo Park, and they hope their documentary, when it's finished, will get picked up by PBS stations and the film festival circuit.
An Almanac story about the trip can be found here: Web Link

Crews from Northwest Fire/Rescue tackled a brush fire in the northwest community of Continental Ranch. They were called out to the housing development near Twin Peaks and Interstate 10 around noon after apparently receiving a 911 call from a woman walking in the area.
Capt. Adam Goldberg says the woman had been approached by two 10-year-old boys claiming they had started the fire with matches, and they sought her help when the fire got out of control.
It took firefighters more than two hours to tackle the blaze which grew to three acres.
"There are a lot of houses in proximity," says Goldberg. "Had temperatures been hotter, and had the flame lengths and the ashes traveled farther, this could have resulted in the loss of a structure."
No homes were damaged. Goldberg says at least one of the boys was cited for reckless burning and released to his parents.
