It's only the second day of training camp and already we have a Glen Davis v. Doc Rivers faux-controversy (we'll get to that later today) and now this:
"Shaquille O'Neal said he would have no trouble adjusting to his role with his new team, saying he expected to play 20-25 minutes a game." (AP via ESPN.com)
I have a hard time believing Shaquille O'Neal is going to be playing 20-25 minutes a night. Last season, he only played in 53 games and averaged 23.4 minutes as a starter. Shaq is also not likely to be the first guy off the bench, especially when Kendrick Perkins returns from injury. If the Celtics follow a similar model to last year's rotation, they will opt for a stretch four off the bench a la Rasheed Wallace. This will likely end up being Jermaine O'Neal or Glen Davis.
To put Shaq's prediction in perspective, last season Rasheed Wallace averaged 22.5 minutes a game, Glen Davis averaged 17 minutes a game, and Jermaine O'Neal averaged 28.4 minutes a game. That's a lot of minutes for Doc Rivers to manage and when it is all said and done, Shaq will average around 18 minutes a game (all numbers provided by Basketball-Reference.com).
It may seem like a small distinction but with a locker room with so many egos needing to be managed, it's not something to take lightly. Luckily, while I believe Shaq will play less than he wants, he'll also be a valuable contributor against the league's larger bodies.
What do you guys think? How many minutes do you see Shaq playing? Do you see minutes as being a point of contention throughout the season?

Which TV stations had most, least coverage of Walker John Doe documents?
All four Milwaukee 10 p.m. TV newscasts dutifully reported the release of documents alleging violations of campaign finance law by Gov. Scott Walker, but weather and crime coverage preceded the story about what one anchor called "state political news that's making national headlines."

Lindenstrauss slams political parties over assets
State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss 370.
(photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem)
In a highly critical report published Sunday, state comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss revealed failures in the way several of the country's major political parties have managed their real estate assets.The report criticized the Labor Party, Likud, the National Religious Party, Hadash and Meretz for several irregularities, including that they did not have agreements or other documents required to prove their rights to some of the assets to which they claimed ownership.In another part of the report, Labor and the Communist Party come under fire for owing millions of shekels in property taxes to local authorities.The Communist Party forms a part of the Jewish-Arab socialist front Hadash, which has four MKs. It owes NIS 2.07 million in unpaid taxes, the report revealed, due to years' old debts.Meanwhile, Labor owed NIS 1.45 million in unpaid property taxes, the report said.The Communist Party also drew criticism for failing to officially register in its own name several of the 33 properties to which it claims rights.The Communist Party, Labor, and the National Religious Party had failed to provide an annual report listing their property assets, as required by law, Lindenstrauss found - whereas some of the reports given by the Communists, Likud, Labor, and the National Religious Party were incorrect or missing data.Two party corporations - Labor's Berl Katznelson Foundation and Likud's Tel Chai Fund, had not made proper use of the properties they controlled, Lindenstrauss said.Some properties leased by Labor's Beit Arlozoroff corporation were supposed to be used for running party offices or clubs but were in fact put to other uses, the report found.Likud, Labor and the National Religious Party had failed to set a long-term policy for asset management and purchase, the report said.Among other things, the report also found that Likud had not established its claim of rights to ten properties affiliated to the Liberal Party (an ancestor of Likud, which ceased to exist in 1988 when Likud was unified).With regard to left-wing party Meretz, the audit found that the party had no documents regarding its rights to a Tel Aviv building that it has used for years.The report also takes Labor to task over a 2008 NIS 98.3 million real estate transaction between its Berl Katznelson Foundation and Beit Berl College, the Labor Party-run institution near Kfar Saba. Labor had a vested interest in the transaction because it intended to use part of the proceeds to cover its debts, the report said, but the Berl Foundation's board had not approved the transaction in accordance with the law.Instead, Lindenstrauss said, the Foundation's then-director had acted alone in his dealings with Beit Berl, instead of acting through and with the board.The report said that in March 2006, the Berl Foundation signed a mediation agreement with Beit Berl College aimed at settling a dispute over an annual lease fee that the college had to pay.During the mediation process the two sides agreed that the college would pay the fund NIS 98.3 million, part of which involved the college sub-letting 140 dunams of land on which were several buildings. In practice, the report found, this had been essentially a sale transaction under which the foundation undertook to relinquish its its primary leasing rights in favor of the college, receiving a sum of money in return for discounted land lease fees. Lindenstrauss noted that the assets had been valued at around NIS 178 million, considerably more than the transaction.The audit revealed a litany of failures regarding the mediation agreement, including that the Berl Foundation's board had not come to any formal decision confirming the appointment of a mediator. Neither had the board outlined any policy regarding the position it wanted to take in the mediation, the report said.Lindenstrauss said the foundation's actions indicated it had responded to the Labor Party's request to use its assets to improve the party's difficult economic situation, and therefore agreed to the lower-value deal. Lindenstrauss called on the Berl Katznelson Foundation to review the land deal it made with Beit Berl College, taking into account the provisions of the law.Lindenstrauss said all parties must establish policies and procedures for managing their assets, including registering them as well as sales and leasing.Parties must move to clarify their property rights, he said, and must protect those rights to generate the maximum income from their assets and repay any debts.In response to the report, a Labor spokesman said Sunday that the party "embraces the state comptroller's report, and notes that the audit's comments referred to past years."Labor said it was "acting and will act to learn the lessons, correct the shortcomings and implement the recommendations made in the report.""The issues discussed in the report occurred during the tenure of former officials, and the party's current leadership and management believe it is of paramount importance to apply proper management procedures both to the party and to its subsidiary corporations," the spokesman said.The Labor spokesman added: "Under its current leadership, the Labor Party has already begin applying a new managerial and organizational approach, including applying management regulations and developing inspection procedures both for the party's real estate assets and those of its affiliated corporations."

Supplement Protocol For Increasing ATP and Reducing Free Radicals & Chronic Inflammation
The Core 5 contains thirty convenient daily dosage packs consisting of five supplements recommended as a daily nutritional supplement. Each packet contains a multi vitamin' magnesium' fish oil' coenzyme Q10 and a botanical anti-inflammatory. The individual dosage packaging is convenient and increases patient compliance.
The Core 5 is a group of supplements that are a part of the Nutritional AdjustmentTM' providing
crucial nutritional components typically deficient in either our modern diets or the food supply.
Your doctor recommends these products to minimize the acute injury phase' assist the body's
natural healing processes' mediate inflammation' and support overall wellness.
Not all multivitamins are created equal. A high quality multivitamin needs to disintegrate properly' contain quality nutrient forms' contain a modest amount of excipients(ingredients that maintain shelf life & stability)' and be easy to take. AVED-Multi contains the highest quality nutrients in the proper amounts' exhaustively tested for disintegration rates and potency. An AVED-Multi taken twice a day builds the foundation for both recovery and maintenance of good health.
Mega MagnesiumTM
Magnesium plays a crucial role in over 300 enzymatic functions relating to muscle' bone and nerve function' but sufficient intake is difficult to obtain through diet. As essential as calcium
for bone health' magnesium deficiency is a leading cause of osteoporosis. Mega-Magnesium features three different sources of the mineral' providing you with a unique fullspectrum
magnesium supplement.
CoEnzyme Q10
A powerful antioxidant and "spark plug" in the production of energy' CoQ10 benefits heart health' skin' energy' and CoQ10 depletion caused by certain drugs. CoQ10 may offer protection against oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol' has demonstrated anti-aging benefits in skeletal
muscle' and a recent study at Rutgers University shows that CoQ10 may slow the progression of Parkinson's disease. Since levels of CoQ10 drop significantly as we age' it is important to supplement with a high-quality CoQ10.
Concentrated Omega-3
Omega-3 fatty acids play a major role in reducing inflammation and promoting cardiovascular'
immune and nervous system health. But the modern' grainheavy diet causes an improper balance between Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids. Concentrated Omega-3 is sourced
from the cold' clean waters of Norway and screened for heavy metals and toxins. This concentrated' pleasant-tasting formula features Florida Orange oil and provides twice
the potency of most other brands.
Research suggests chronic inflammation is an underlying cause of cardiovascular disease' arthritis and other conditions. Pro-Enz is uniquely formulated to address chronic inflammation with clinically-researched ingredients' and is indicated for prolonged use with injury recovery and healing. Pro-Enz's botanical formula mediates pain and inflammation with non-toxic' researched ingredients.

Overall Rating for Core 5 Pack (Nutritional Foundation for Healthy Living) 30 Packets
Displaying reviews 1-1 of 1
By John L. Rafuse
from Alexandria, VA
Pricing themselves out of any market
This was expensive at $30. per 30-pack container. Its now hideously expensive. No sense in anyone buying something that more than doubled for no apparent reason. The one-star rating is the only way that the website would print this rating; it would actually be accurate to grant no stars based on the ridiculous price hike. Do yourselves a favor and buy the separate ingredients of the packets from a health store. That would be expensive too; it wouldnt be anything like $80 per container.
It seemed healthful to general health -- at the already expensive price.
Theres no possible way that your costs have risen to that extent. Its abusive to your customers as well as unreasonnaable

New Jersey
3.58/5 rDev -8.4%
On-tap, served in a pint glass
A hazy amber body with a firm, bubbly cap that sits at two fingers and falls slowly to a thin collar. Some clingy lace here and there.
Notes of earth, caramel, citrus, white wine, and a touch of oak underneath. Interesting combination of aromas.
Sweet malts up front--caramel and biscuit--before a mild citrus bitterness of grapefruit, lemon, move in. Grapes and oak mix with a mild earthy bitterness in the finish. A touch of resiny, earthy spice lingers.
Medium body, a bit chewy, with a dry finish.
A balanced DIPA with an added layer of complexity from the white wine addition. This beer didn't wow me, but it was fairly tasty.

3.75/5 rDev -4.1%
A: This brew has a nice hazy caramel color, with a tan foamy head.
S: This has a piney smell, with hints of raisins.
T: This is weird as it doesn't have a biting bitterness, but the hops are very present and flavorful. I don't pick out any individual flavors here. The wood flavors imparted by the barrel aging have run roughshod over the delicate flavors of the hops. I expect a fair amount of alcohol flavor to be present in such a high gravity beer. In this particular example, the alcohol isn't as obvious in the first sip, but becomes more and more present and overwhelming as the sips go on.
M: Appropriate carbonation to the style. It isn't overly thick from the sugars, giving it a medium body.
O: I really enjoy the flavors of this, but unless sipped slowly, the alcohol flavor can be a bit overpowering. This is a very different take on a DIPA and I enjoy that about it most.

3.75/5 rDev -4.1%
Appearance - First off, this beer is virtually impossible to pour. Not that this is a bad thing per se, but the yeast is extremely intense. The head is volatile and it takes a number of pours in small stints to get it all into the glass. Small bubbles with and beige white. Unattractive lacing. A deep ruby brown/ orange. Opaque with a little sediment residing at the bottom.
Smell - After letting the head settle down, one can definitely pick up more aroma when not trying to get through a thick layer. A nice, sharp yeast smell with citrus fruits and orange peel. A tiny amount of toffee and wood.
Taste - A slightly sour finish, but tasty. Lemon, grapes, grapefruit, brown sugar and a strong use of Nothern hops. Mild woody falvor, but it is barely noticeable. Having a hard time picking up the used Chardonnay barrels in this. Nicely balanced beer, though. Not sure if there is Citra hops in this. Nice malts, too.
Mouthfeel - Highly carbonated, this beer is intense on the tongue. Aside from the carbonation, the malts, sugars, and bittering creates a decent feel but nothing too amazing, in my opinion.
Overall - Perhaps a little too hoppy for me, I find it doesn't allow for the sugars and malts to shine through enough. But everything is here! Very impressive indeed. Not one of my favorite DIPAs, but I would buy this again for sure.

A - Cloudy dark orange with darker amber hues in the middle. Two fingers of light, bubbly cream coloured head formed and slowly receded to a thin layer.
S - Grassy hops up front with a fairly sweet caramel presence. Light oak notes in the backgroung. 3.5
T - Grassy hops up front with a good but not overwhelming bitterness. Some white wine flavours are introduced in the middle with a sweet malt backbone coming through. Some lighter oak flavours are also present.
M - Medium body. Moderate carbonation.

330ml bottle poured into tulip 13/9/12
A umm, hmmm, there's a little foam with this one, oh no wait that little bits the liquid, seriously though I'm having issues getting this one in my glass. Nearly a glass of light tan foam with some murky dark amber liquid sitting at the bottom, very soapy head and a few patches of lace
S earthy woody vinous notes are strong and I get some faint fruit cake here and there, baking apples and baked pear I'm not sure If I should drink this or eat it for desert. floral and citric hops come out here and there but I'd never think this was a DIPA if tasted blind
T more of the same really but has some caramel to drizzle over my desert and a little funk, not bad but not I'm not really sure why you would age a DIPA in Chard casks, I'm drinking it easily enough but its not all that close to a DIPA
M its overly foamy, I don't even really get a chance to feel the weight before it turns too foam, no heat is impressive for 10.5% but the stuff just turns to air in the mouth
O a strange brew too say the least, it just falls short of what I was hoping for, perhaps I'm just disappointed because I was expecting a hop bomb
I'm not sure if the little bit of funk I could taste was intended, perhaps the onset of an infection? I wouldn't drop the money on this one again and perhaps if Ihad read the label I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. Not the best first impression but still quite drinkable for the strength, I just broke the bank on Evil Twin and I hope the other I grabbed are worth the price tag.

330ml bottle, something about 'owning the dance floor' on the label blurb. I thought we got past that shit long ago when we moved away from beer tub girls and Stella Artois.
This beer pours, and I use that term loosely - it generates a crazy amount of tumultuous, airy, puffy, rising beige head, on the order of 20:1 foam/liquid - a hazy dark apricot hue, and settles way too slowly, eventually leaving some chunky swaths of lace around the glass.
In the meantime, it smells of grapefruit cocktail, bready caramel malt, a bit of dessert wine sweetness, and a slight acrid woodiness. The taste is bitter pine needle and citrus rind, a slight tart white wine fruitiness, and some subtle second-hand barrel-aged woodiness. Pretty decent no-show by the booze, I gotta say.
The bubbles, well the bubbles are a pain in the ass up front, and once they deign to settle, it's only temporary, but you get a frothy, faintly fizzy mouthfeel, which fights at middleweight, and is somehow, more or less smooth. It finishes with an uptick in the hop oil bitterness, though the caramel malt and woody notes hold steady.
An interesting, and tasty enough big ABV DIPA, the barrel characteristics coming through in their predictably low-key manner. Too bad about the beginning to end carbonation debacle - there's no indication of any bottle refermentation on the label, but it sure seems like it plays out that way.

3.53/5 rDev -9.7%
A - Dark hazy amber with a big tan head leaving a few patches of lace behind.
S - Sweet malts, caramel and a light citrus hop.
T - Sweet malt, caramel and some citrus hops. Maybe a little extra fruitiness from the Chardonnay but it wasn't obvious.
M - Medium body and well carbonated.
D - I have been really enjoying wine aged type beers lately but was somewhat disappointed with this one. Too malty and maybe a touch oxidized even though it just arrived this week at the store.

Had this on tap at Local Option in Chicago poured into a snifter glass. Pours a dark amber hazy body with a khaki head that lasted very nicely throughout. Armoas of piney resinous hops and smooth oak. A touch of caramel malts and some spice. Flavors of piney hops, sweet grapefruit, bready malts and strong oak notes. Some hints of apple, grapes, vanilla, and spice in the background. Lightly bitter finish but it remains very smooth and robust. Creamy with a medium to full body with a nice level of carbonation throughout. The alcohol was well hidden. Overall a nice brew.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
A-Pours a hazy copper color with a finger of malt ball colored head, big bubbles and a good amount of lacing and retention.
S-Malty sweetness, a bit of pine maybe, mellow hopping with hints of dark fruit and citrus.
T-Sweet malt and dark fruits washing away to mellow dry hops and citrus, minimal bitterness. The white wine adds a nice subtle sweetness to the blend that makes for easy drinking.
M-Low carbonation, an appropriate amount of dryness for my palate, some stickiness, rather light-bodied for the style.
Overall-4/5, an interesting variation of an IPA that will be frequenting my collection.

Best Before 2015. 12 oz bottle into a DFH signature glass.
A - Dark amber hazy body with a massive khaki foam. Very dirty and soapy and it took forever to settle down to a three finger high head. Crazy amounts of lacing and retention.
S - Piney resinous hops and smooth oak. A touch of caramel malts and some spice.
T - Piney hops, sweet grapefruit, bready malts and strong oak notes. Some hints of apple, grapes, vanilla, and spice in the background. Lightly bitter finish but it remains very smooth and robust.
M - Creamy with a medium to full body with a nice level of carbonation. This has to be bottle conditioned. Alcohol is really well hidden.
O - I'm really digging oak aged IPA's, and the fact that its a white wine barrel really plays well with the base beer. It may be a few months old but the hops are still present and the bitterness really offsets the smoothness of the oak notes. Reminds me a lot of DFH Burton Baton. Superb beer!

"Alcorn State offered me today," said Thigpen. "They have been on me all year. They came to a couple of games and saw me play."
While the official word came from Lorman today, Mark was not surprised by the Braves' tender.
"My coach gave me a letter today, but one of their coaches told me before they had a scholarship for me," said Thigpen. "It came through today and I feel real good about it."
The recruiting process has presented its' share of frustration for the talented quarterback. He believes a revolving door of coaches at Callaway did little to help his cause.
"It's my first offer of the whole year," said Mark. "I feel like some schools might be sleeping on my a little bit.
"I have had three different coaches and ran three different systems in high school. I feel like I have seen it all and I think I put up some pretty good numbers even with the adjustments.
"I feel like my record would have been better if I had been able to stay in the same system."
Some of Alcorn's conference foes are also showing interest in Mark. He believes that his first offer may soon be followed by a couple more.
"I have some SWAC schools staying in touch with me," said Thigpen. "The QB coach at Alabama A&M said he really liked my film. He said they were going to review it and get back with me.
"Jackson State has been talking to me. I talked to Coach Comegy. He's been following me since my 11th grade year. My coach told me he wanted me to come out to Jackson State. My coach was supposed to talk to him today, but I haven't heard from him yet."
While Mark has waited a lifetime for offer number one, he does not want to rush the process and make a rash decision.
"I am just going to see what see what happens," said Thigpen. "I am going to set up some visits. I know I am going to probably take an official visit to Alcorn and Alabama A&M before I do anything."

Dealing With Dishonest and Unprofessional Boss Inspires Job Search
Q: I have been employed for four years as a superintendent secretary for a very small school district. When I was hired, there was no superintendent. The current secretary was retiring but was upset when I was hired instead of the person she wanted, so she trained me for a day and a half and left. Eventually, a part-time (only four hours a week) superintendent was hired. The principal was also a full-time teacher, so I ran the entire school district office. I was the receptionist, file clerk, school nurse, board stenographer, payroll clerk, banking clerk, parent contact, volunteer coordinator and everything else required in creating and handling all the student records. I received no assistance.
At the end of the school year, the principal gave me an unsatisfactory evaluation. I wrote a rebuttal letter, sealed it in an envelope marked "confidential," and left it in a cubbyhole on my desk. The principal took it from my desk and opened it before I could give it to her. When I saw her the next day, she threw a letter at me with a Post-it note on the outside stating to ask all questions of the superintendent. The letter stated that my contract would not be renewed. I asked her why the contract was not being renewed and got no response. After the workday, I was shopping and ran into one of the parents in the school district. She told me the principal told her that I had quit. Nothing in my letter mentioned quitting, nor have I ever said anything about it. I was going to look for a new job anyway. I was eligible for unemployment compensation with my contract not being renewed, but now I will not be.
A: Don't tolerate this treatment. This full-time principal/teacher is unprofessional, a poor communicator with behavior problems, dishonest and most likely an incompetent administrator, which is why she left all the administrative work for you.
Employees Have Rights in "Employment-At-Will" States
Q: I am confused about employees' rights in "employment-at-will" states. I thought employers could fire employees for any reason except discrimination.
A: Most states are "employment-at-will," but that doesn't mean employees have no rights. Employers carry heavy liability for the work environments they create. If an employer or an employee creates a hostile work environment for another employee, that employer can be held legally responsible. Each situation has to be considered individually, which is why hiring an experienced employment lawyer is so important. A good lawyer will review the information and then decide whether to take the case.

Rafael Nadal 'scared' about future as knee injury takes its toll
Paul Newman
Paul Newman is Tennis Correspondent for The Independent.
Monte Carlo
Tuesday 17 April 2012
Rafael Nadal is used to coming here with question marks over his future, but as he prepared to begin his quest for an eighth successive Monte Carlo Masters title, even the king of clay admitted yesterday to being "a little bit scared".
Nadal, the world No 2 who plays his opening match tomorrow, against Jarkko Nieminen, has not won a tournament for 10 months and has lost to Novak Djokovic in seven successive finals. But the reason for the 25-year-old Spaniard's caution is not so much his form as his perennial knee problems. Nadal revealed that he had not practised for a fortnight after an injury to his left knee forced him to withdraw from last month's Miami Masters semi-final against Andy Murray.
"I couldn't move my knee," he said. "I have to try to be patient."
Asked if he found it easy to adapt to playing on clay again, he said: "I don't feel comfortable even today. I need time. I need to spend hours on court, play matches and I need practice. I had to stop after Miami for a long time. I started to practise four days ago, so it's not enough."
While Nadal insisted that dealing with knee problems was "nothing new" for him, he admitted he had been concerned about the outcome of treatment for his latest injury, which involved having an injection to deal with a troublesome tendon behind his left knee.
"I did the treatment two times," he said. "In the past it worked well, but I did this treatment for this new injury before Indian Wells [last month] and it worked well the first couple of days, but afterwards it didn't work well. So I am a little bit scared, but it seems like today I am able to practise with no impediments. I think it needs time to see how good it is, when I play at the top level and when I run without thinking about the knee, when I put all my effort on the knee. But hopefully I am able to practise with the right conditions. That's the most important thing."
Nadal will also be hoping that a return to one of his favourite events will reinvigorate him in the way it has so many times in the past. In six of the last seven years the world No 2 has begun his clay-court season with victory here and gone on to win the French Open.
Two years ago he came to the Monte Carlo Country Club without a title in 11 months and went on to enjoy the greatest clay-court season in modern times, winning all three Masters events on his favourite surface as well as the French Open. Even last year, when Djokovic beat him in clay-court finals in Madrid and Rome, the Spaniard still ended his favourite part of the year with the Monte Carlo and Roland Garros titles.
Nadal insisted that his recent lack of tournament victories did not unduly concern him, pointing out that if he was simply interested in adding to his tally of 46 career titles he would play in more clay-court events outside the normal season.
"My [schedule] for the last few years has been just the most important tournaments of the year, playing against the best players in the world, not always on the most favourable surface for me, so that makes it more difficult to win titles," he said. "I am doing my [schedule] to try to win the most important titles on the tour, to try to be healthy for as long as I can, and to have a longer career."
Nadal also pointed to the number of finals he has reached since winning the 2011 French Open. In particular he has reached the last three Grand Slam finals, losing to Djokovic on each occasion.
Given his current knee problem, it might be wrong to draw too many conclusions if Nadal's extraordinary run of 37 consecutive victories here on the Côte d'Azur were to end this week. However, a triumph for Djokovic at a tournament where he has been a semi-finalist twice and runner-up once in his last three appearances could be another major psychological blow to strike against Nadal. The Serb, who missed this tournament last year, has not lost to the Spaniard since the group stage of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in 2010.
Nevertheless, the 24-year-old was cautious when talking about his own chances.
"Nadal is the ultimate challenge on clay," he said. "He's the king of clay, the best tennis player ever to play on this surface. The fact is that Nadal plays his best tennis in Monte Carlo, aside from Paris."
Although this year Djokovic has not made the whirlwind start of 2011, when he won 41 matches before losing to Roger Federer in the semi-finals of the French Open, he looked back near his best when he won earlier this month in Miami. He did not drop a set in his six matches.
With a particularly busy summer ahead – the Olympic tournament is sandwiched between Wimbledon and the start of the US hard-court season – Djokovic has been careful not to push himself too hard in the opening months of the year. Having taken a break after winning the Australian Open, he lost in the semi-finals in Dubai and Indian Wells, to Andy Murray and John Isner respectively, before resuming his winning ways. If he meets Nadal in Sunday's final here, it will be a contest to savour.

How to Use Your System's Default Print Dialog Instead of Chrome's Crashy Print Preview
Chrome has implemented a built-in print dialog that, by default, gives you a preview of your print job in a new tab and handles all of your printing needs without going through your operating system's default print dialog. It's a nice feature when it works, but in practice, the preview crashes—a lot—and when it does, the Print button is disabled. Here's how to work around Chrome's crashy print dialog so you can still get your print on when necessary. More »

Apple Brags About iOS 4.2 Developer Beta
In conjunction with the iOS 4.2 beta, Apple has issued a press release touting "AirPrint." The trendily named wireless printing feature for iOS will be included with iOS 4.2 in November.
"AirPrint is Apple's powerful new printing architecture that matches the simplicity of iOS—no set up, no configuration, no printer drivers and no software to download," gushed Apple VP Philip Schiller.
First demoed at the Apple Event in September, AirPrint will initially work with HP ePrint printers or shared printers on a PC or Mac. HP ePrint printers use unique e-mail addresses to receive documents from devices with e-mail capability, supporting a variety formats including Microsoft Office, PDFs, rich text, HTML, and others, though no mention is made of iWork.
More on Google Cloud Print, and announcing HP's new Web-aware printers
I actually wanted to cover this one a few days ago, when I first heard about HP's new range of 'just email me!' printers -- but we're not a hardware site! However, now that Google's in on the gig and now that we know Chrome OS played a role in HP's printer development... well, now it's software news! (Fast forward to 31:37 in the video above for the Google Cloud Print presentation.)
If you haven't heard about HP's new printers, it's a complete range, from domestic printers priced at $99 through to enterprise-level machines. They have one amazing trait in common: they're all Web-aware. They all have an email address. You can simply send a document or some photos to that email address and... it prints! I'm trying to find you a link to the actual printersso you can check their specs, but it seems like HP hasn't updated their website yet. Darn.
Google Cloud Print is basically the same thing, but without the email step. You simply press 'print', and Google Cloud Print does the rest. If you've tried printing from your smartphone, you'll probably appreciate just how awesome such a feature would be.
Anyway, Lee and I have been keeping an eye out on the Google Chrome OS source, and the Cloud Print functionality is only available for internal testing at Google. We'll be sure to let you know when it's ready for public testing!
