Asus VivoTab Smart
Tablet market is dominated by Apple iPad with iOS and few devices that were powered with Android OS. This is about to change since there are few devices that will be delivered to the market and will offer Windows 8 and Windows RT OS. Among those devices that will come is the Asus VivoTab Smart.
It is not surprising, but the overall design and appearance of the Asus VivoTab Smart is reminiscent of the VivoTab RT that we looked at a couple months ago. It remains relatively compact for a tablet (10.4"3 x 6.73" x 0.38") and is easy to carry around at only 20.46 oz (560g).
This time around, the VivoTab Smart has a white backing instead of the brushed metal on the VivoTab RT, but the front is still uncluttered by the display, 2MP front facing camera, and capacitive Windows home key. Along on the left edge is the microUSB port, and the hidden microSD memory card slot and covered microHDMI video port. Up on top is the raised power button, while on the right edge is the large volume rocker and 3.5mm headset jack. Around on the back is the 8MP auto-focus camera with LED flash, which can also record 1080p video, as well as a small external speaker hidden behind a group of small microdots.
When we reviewed the Asus VivoTab RT, we were impressed by its display, since it was using a 10.1" Super IPS+ LCD panel. However, the Asus VivoTab Smart is using a standard 10.1" IPS LCD panel, which means it's not quite as bright, viewing angles are more limited, and colors aren't as saturated. Be that as it may, we found the display still bright enough for most conditions (except when viewed in direct sunlight). The screen resolution is WXGA 1366×768, which equals a pixel density of only 155ppi. Because of this, details aren't quite as sharp as we would like, such as on the1080p HD display used by the Microsoft Surface Pro, but it is still tolerable when the tablet is at least 12 inches away from your face.
Keyboard dock:
One of the must-have accessories for the Asus VivoTab Smart is the TranSleeve Keyboard. The sleeve is magnetic and can "grab" onto the bottom edge of the tablet, while the larger area of the sleeve grabs the keyboard. This allows for almost a laptop-type experience. But if you want to have the tablet stand on its own, you then have to take the keyboard off the sleeve and fold the sleeve behind the tablet to prop it up. Then you can just rest the keyboard on your desk or lap.
The Bluetooth keyboard is 10.25" wide, which should provide enough room for even large hands. We had no issue typing on it, and we like that it uses real physical keys that have a nice response to them, and even provide a traditional "click" sound when pressed. The trackpad at the bottom also works well, showing an on-screen mouse pointer, and there is also a left and right mouse-type buttons on the bottom. Since the keyboard is separate from the tablet and is connected via Bluetooth, youalso have to charge the keyboard via the microUSB port on its side.
Just keep in mind that the TranSleeve Keyboard is an optional accessory that you have to purchase, and does add 445g to the weight.
Interface and Functionality:
Unlike the Asus VivoTab RT that is limited by Windows RT, the VivoTab Smart comes running the full Windows 8 32-bit operating system. This means that instead of only being able to run Modern UI programs that are designed for ARM processors, the Intel Atom-based Asus VivoTab Smart can run standard Windows programs, including ones for Windows 7.
We won't go into great detail about the Windows 8 platform, since we've covered it most recently on the Microsoft Surface Pro. When it comes to personalization, Windows 8 isn't as deep as Android, but it's far better than what the iPad delivers. Windows 8 also incorporates social networking services such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, but the People Hub, which aggregates all social networking content, doesn't execute well with its layout. Making matters worse, third party offerings don't do the platform justice just yet; however, it's something we're certain that developers will improve over time.
Gestures for closing apps, swiping between them and viewing the Charms Bar on the right are quite basic and easy to learn once you get the hang of it. But if you don't want to bother with the Live Tiles, you can always go into the desktop view, which has a traditional Windows 7-style desktop. Though missing is the popular "Start" button on the lower left, which is replaced by the full Start Screen in the Modern UI.
Processor and Memory:
The power behind the tablet is a 1.8 GHz dual-core Intel Atom Z2760 processor along with 2GB of RAM. While this is good enough for most basic programs, such as MS Office, web browsing, and watching videos, it still is lacking a punch when compared to the Intel i5-3317U processor with 4GB of RAM found on the Microsoft Surface Pro. When running more demanding programs on the VivoTab Smart, or having multiple programs open at the same time, you do start to notice a bit of a lag and even some screen "stutter" as it's trying to keep up.
Internal storage is also pretty limited. The Asus VivoTab Smart comes with 64GB, but over half is used out of the box, leaving only 25GB free. The only way to add additional room is by using a microSD memory card, which can provide up to another 64GB of storage space; though you probably wouldn't want to install and run programs from the memory card. Because of this, it would be nice if Asus made a 128GB version.
Internet and Connectivity:
You are treated with two version of Internet Explorer. The touch-friendly Modern IE version found on the main Start screen gets things moving with its quick page loads, fast rendering, and smooth navigational controls. For a more standard desktop-like experience, Internet Explorer 10 in the desktop mode is none other than the familiar one that's used by all Windows PCs, and even offers Adobe Flash support (remember that Android Jelly Bean Tablets officially do not). Naturally, you have the option to install and run other desktop browsers on the VivoTab Smart, such as Chrome and Firefox.
There's no word yet on whether the Asus VivoTab Smart will come in a version to work off of cellular data networks, such as 4G LTE, so our unit was strictly Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n at 2.4GHz. Also on board is Bluetooth 4.0, aGPS, and NFC.
The Asus VivoTab Smart comes with two camera programs. The first is the standard one that is part of Windows 8, which is pretty much no frills and gets the job done. But our favorite is the Asus Camera program, as it is easier to use when changing between the camera, video recorder, and panorama modes, as well as selecting options, effects, and settings.
Images that we took outside were by no means jaw-dropping, but still quite good for a tablet with an 8MP autofocus shooter, as colors were natural and there was plenty of detail. Inside images were also good if there was plenty of light, though they did start to appear grainy with lower-light levels. We found the LED flash to be plenty bright to illuminate a dark scene, but the camera likes to focus first (which it can't do well in the dark) and then turn the flash on to snap the image. It would be better if the flash came earlier to help the camera focus, like we've seen on some smartphones.
Recording video at 1080p is common these days, and VivoTab Smart does an OK job, though some detail is lacking. However, we did like that it maintains autofocus during the recording process, and playback is smooth and stutter-free at 30 frames per second.
Just like with Windows RT, the Photos Hub with Windows 8 doesn't offer anything out of the ordinary with its feature set, but rather, it's a basic picture viewer that offers us the ability to crop and rotate images. As for sharing, there isn't a native option, and instead accessing the "Charms" section of the Windows 8 interface will present us some of the apps that can handle the sharing process.
The new Music Hub for Windows 8 is deliciously sweet looking, as it incorporates the Modern UI style of the platform into the music player – and also offers synchronization with your XBOX Music account. All in all, it's one of the better looking music player interfaces out there. With the speaker discretely hidden behind the microdots on the tablet's rear, it doesn't produce anything spectacular with its output. Instead, its weak and mute tones make it notoriously difficult to hear in noisy environments. Thankfully, you can overcome this by plugging in a pair of wired headphones to the 3.5mm headset jack, or by using wireless Bluetooth headphones or speakers.
The Asus VivoTab Smart supports various video codecs out of the box (DivX, H.264, MPEG-4, and Xvid), though MKV is not supported and will require you to install a 3rd party player. Video playback is smooth and looks well on the 10.1" display, through we can't help thinking how much better it would be if the display was full HD resolution.
Asus claims that the internal 25Wh Li-polymer battery is capable of 9.5 hours of usage, when playing back a looped 720p video, with 100 nit screen brightness, and headphones connected. But under normal conditions, we were able to get about two days of mixed usage – including web browsing, video playback, and running other programs.
With the Asus VivoTab Smart currently priced at $499, it's a compelling option for those looking for a moderately-sized tablet running the full Windows 8 platform without breaking the bank. But when adding on the $150 TranSleeve Keyboard option, you're now in the price of some Windows 8 notebook PCs.
Overall we like the VivoTab Smart as a Windows 8 tablet, since it has a lot of features for the price, and can run pretty much any Windows program, though the Intel Atom processor does seem to hold back performance.

Window Assembly: How to Choose the Best for your Car
The window assembly is on the front line of defense in keeping you and the other passengers in your car safe. The glass window acts as a shield against rain, snow, sun, and wind. Even if the window assembly is designed and engineered to withstand these harsh weather conditions, it is not invincible. In your car's lifetime, you may have to replace the window assembly once or twice. It's important that as early as now, you already have an idea how to replace and how to buy the right window assembly for your car. Here are some tips to help you out.
Choosing a window tint
- Tinted glasses provide privacy, and dark windows have the best coverage. You should also take your car's color into consideration and choose a widow tint that complements with it. For instance, mirror tints look good in silver or black cars. For red cars, black windows are recommended for they highlight the red shade in your car.
- Be aware of tints that are prohibited in your area. Cars with windows that are too dark are not allowed in most areas because they are often associated with crimes and other illegal acts.
Getting the right size
- To get the right size, read your vehicle owner's manual to find out the dimensions of the entire window assembly in your car. If you want to make sure, measure and take note of the length and width of your car's window so that when you get to the auto parts store, you already know what to get.
- Buy direct-fit window assembly so you don't have to cut or weld any component . A direct fit assembly is also easier to install, that's why it's your best option if you are planning to put the new window assembly to your car alone.
Making the most out of your money
- Buy window components that are sold in kits. Kits are more affordable than buying individual parts. You can also avoid buying window accessories that do not fit well; in kits, the weatherstrips, scrapers, and other hardwares are made to fit in one entire window assembly.
- A window assembly is a bit expensive compared to other car parts, so buy only from trusted distributors and sellers to get a product warranty. If in case you bought a damaged component, the reseller can ship you a replacement free of charge.

Window Assembly: How to Put the Pieces Together
A broken window assembly can totally ruin the overall look of your car. It's such a pain in the eyes to see a car with shattered window glass. It gives the impression that the car owner doesn't care about his vehicle. Aside from flouting the aesthetic aspect, a busted window assembly is also damaging the interiors of the car; insects can enter and thrive inside the car, rains can spoil the leather seats, even thieves can get inside your car to take your valuables away. Don't wait for the worst to happen. Replace the window assembly in your car ASAP.
Difficulty level: Moderate
Tools you'll need:
- Wrench
- Screwdrivers
- Petroleum jelly
- Window assembly replacement
Step 1: Buy window assembly replacement parts that are appropriate for your car's year and model. Take note of the measurements of the old windows, channels, anti-rattle weatherstrips, and scrapers.
Step 2: Begin with removing the door panel. Use the right-sized screwdriver to remove the bolts that hold the interior plastic panel to the door assembly. Use a thin spatula or the flat tip of a screwdriver to pry the edges of the panel. Do not over bend the panel to avoid breaking it. After removing, set it aside.
Step 3: Remove the glass window. You may ask a friend or an assistant to hold the glass while you unbolt all the screws that hold the window in place. Gently swing it side by side to release it.
Step 4: Once the glass is out, you can now replace the inner scraper. Press it on the window frame and make sure that it is well aligned. You can apply a little bit of petroleum jelly inside the edges of the scraper so it would be easier to slide it into the frame. Press it gently to secure it in place.
Step 5: Change the outer scraper. Remove the bolts that fasten it to the upper front part of the window frame. Slide and pull the outer scraper to loosen it from the frame. Press the lower clips to free the outer scraper entirely.
Step 6: Before reassembling the window, check the frame for any rust. Take a closer look at the clips if they are complete. Replace felts if needed.
Step 7: Start installing new parts one by one. Put the lower anti-rattle weatherstrip in place first. Press it down gently to put it in place.
Step 8: Put the new upper window channel. Start attaching the bottom part of it and work your way slowly up to the top. Gently press it on the sides until it sits firmly in place.
Step 9: Install the new glass window. Do not tighten the bolts yet until you positioned the glass properly. Wind the roller up and down to check if the glass is in the right position. Secure the bolts afterwards.
Step 10: Put the door panel back. Return all the bolts that you have taken out.

Re: Selecting First Letter
I should add -- the harder part is matching the correct text node.
In your case, assuming you want the character in bold to be the initial character inside the p, at any level,
<xsl:template match="text()[not(preceding::text() [count(.|current()/ancestor::p//text()) = count(current()/ancestor::p//text())])]">
would do it, but you can see how horrible that is!
Not foolproof, but
would usually work (and would most probably perform better).
So today's XSLT Challenge is to write a better match for this problem.

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Phillies crawled all the way back from a 6-1 deficit to beat the New York Mets 7-6 on Sunday at Citizens Bank Park.
First baseman Ryan Howard delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning to drive in the winning run.
With the Phillies trailing 6-5 entering the ninth, third baseman Cody Asche doubled to lead off the frame and scored the tying run on pinch hitter Marlon Byrd's single.
The Phillies' win snapped the Mets' five-game winning streak at Citizens Bank Park. Entering Sunday, New York (56-62) had won 11 of its last 12 in Philadelphia's (53-65) home park.
Reliever Ken Giles (1-0) pitched a scoreless eighth inning to pick up his first major league win, while closer Jenrry Mejia (5-5) allowed three hits and two runs for the loss.
Indians 4, Yankees 1
NEW YORK -- Carlos Carrasco pitched five innings for his first win as a starting pitcher in more than three years as Cleveland defeated New York.
Working on a pitch limit, Carrasco (4-4) allowed two singles in his first start since April 25. He entered the game 0-12 with a 8.09 ERA in his previous 17 starts since beating the Yankees on July 5, 2011.
Carrasco allowed a two-out single to center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury in the first inning and a one-out single to second baseman Stephen Drew in the second. After Drew's hit, Carrasco retired the final 11 hitters he faced.
Reds 7, Marlins 2
CINCINNATI -- Catcher Devin Mesoraco homered twice, including a grand slam, and Johnny Cueto pitched eight strong innings to lift Cincinnati.
Right fielder Giancarlo Stanton and third baseman Casey McGehee homered for Miami.
Mesoraco was given the chance to play Sunday with Brayan Pena, Cueto's regular catcher who was out with a tight hamstring. Mesoraco made the most of his opportunity, tying a club record with his third grand slam this season. It was his third career multi-home run game.
Padres 8, Pirates 2
PITTSBURGH -- Right-hander Tyson Ross pitched six solid innings and right fielder Seth Smith drove in three runs with a triple in the fifth inning to lead San Diego.
Ross gave up two runs, six hits and two walks. He lasted at least six innings for the 19th time in his past 23 starts.
The Padres added to their lead in the seventh inning when first baseman Yonder Alonso drove in his second run of the day with a sacrifice fly.
Dodgers 5, Brewers 1
MILWAUKEE -- Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw held Milwaukee to a run on six hits over eight innings.
Milwaukee starter Jimmy Nelson gave up eight hits and walked a batter but only allowed two runs and struck out three over six innings.
The Dodgers tied it up in the third when Kershaw, who was hit by a Nelson pitch, scored on first baseman Adrian Gonzalez's sacrifice fly. The Dodgers added an insurance run in the seventh on Gonzalez's RBI double off the wall in center.
Royals 7, Giants 4
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Right fielder Nori Aoki reached base four times, swiped three bases and scored two runs and center fielder Jarrod Dyson went 3-for-3 and also stole three bases for Kansas City.
Left hander Danny Duffy (7-10) earned the victory, giving up four runs on three hits, three walks and a hit batter in 6 2/3 innings.
Right-hander Tim Lincecum (9-8) was charged with the loss.
Cardinals 8, Orioles 3
BALTIMORE -- Kolten Wong tied a career high with four hits, Peter Bourjos homered and St. Louis Cardinals avoided a three-game sweep.
Baltimore manager Buck Showalter was ejected in the seventh inning by second base umpire Jeff Nelson on a reversed call after a Cardinals challenge.
Cardinals right-hander Lance Lynn was effective containing Baltimore's powerful lineup. He limited the Orioles to three runs with nine hits, six strikeouts and a walk in 5 2/3 innings.
Rangers 6, Astros 2
HOUSTON -- The Texas Rangers capitalized on a sloppy defensive performance by Houston and averted a series sweep.
The Astros were charged with only one error, but a series of miscues greased the skids to an end of their seven-game winning streak against the Rangers.
Houston left-hander Dallas Keuchel uncorked a pair of wild pitches while his teammates surrendered extra bases with unsound decisions against aggressive Texas baserunners.

This is a set of six Forest Green 6 1/2" tumblers with characters from the Ruth Lyons show .
Ruth Lyons , (born Ruth Reeves Oct 4 , 1905 , died Nov 7 , 1988 ) was a pioneer radio and television broadcaster in Cincinnati, Ohio . She began her career in 1929 on radio at WKRC , moving to WLW and WSAI in 1942 . Her show, the 50/50 Club, was aired nationwide by NBC for 11 months in 1951 ; it was also the first show broadcast in color in Cincinnati, in 1957 .It is said Ruth Lyons -- quite by accident -- more or less invented the daytime TV talk show. But her story long preceded television.Ruth Lyons spent nearly 50 years on Cincinnati TV and radio. She was a natural entertainer with a gift for knowing what the common man and woman wanted. She became an astute businesswoman, who understood the power of radio and TV. Much like Arthur Godfrey and others of the era, Ruth built an empire no one could touch, despite criticism. Considering her ratings and the love of viewers and listeners, no one dared. Broadcast managers with new ideas came and went. Many were baffled by her success. Later, they would realize that it was simply the essence of broadcasting: one-on-one communication at its best and involving a particular midwestern audience.No chips or cracks to glasses, they are in fabulous condition.Lucky winning bidder please include $7 s/h in USA.

How To Be a Twentysomething Who Gives Advice To All Other Twentysomethings -
Be unswervingly wrong about everything you say. Take a contrary position on the most commonsensical wisdom and do it forecefully, so that the other docile, more thoughtful twentysomethings are jolted by your confidence in what appears, to them, to be vaguely spiritual platitudes at best and suggestions of self-destruction at worst. It also helps if you never let them speak.
This is perfect.
It really is.
Jesus why do there have to be "twentysomthings". Ugh. Go to hell. I'm drunk. Get off my fucking lawn.
ETA: Okay, sorry twewntysomdthisnfsgns. You're probably cool. I'm just pissed because I'm about to be thirtysholmkeknkniniing and I actually totally remember being in my twenties and I wasn't all depressed and I got laid a lot and so go on with your bad selves, twentyshosdinmthings. Get it on. Just with the with the whining about being young, I remember, but maybe dial it back a notch.

Close your eyes and lose yourself in a medieval mood, taste the treasure and sing the lunes, under a violet moon(8)- Under a Violet Moon By Blackmore's Night.
The ease of laughter comes so fast
When you're not in the jester's shoes
Cause when you've only Fool's Gold,

The jester or the king?
A fortress made from Fool's Gold
Or the tears that treasure can bring?

The Wichita City Council is paying close attention to the recent announcement by the Kansas Department of Transportation regarding the future of the Southwest Chief Amtrak route from Newton through western Kansas.
The City Council has always been supportive of the continuation of the passenger rail service provided by the Southwest Chief route. In recent years, the City Council also has been supportive of the evaluation of a potential Northern Flyer passenger rail route from Dallas to Kansas City via Wichita.
The KDOT announcement raises the possibility that the Southwest Chief service may be re-routed south from Newton through Wichita to link with existing east-west service through Oklahoma. In recent months, Council Member Pete Meitzner has engaged the Wichita business community in an active discussion about the merits of expanded passenger rail service. That discussion will continue, but the dynamics of discussion may change dramatically, depending on the fate of the current Southwest Chief service.
"It is imperative that the City of Wichita pay close attention to this rapidly-evolving issue," said CM Meitzner. "The announcement regarding the future of the Southwest Chief service dictates that we continue this important community discussion and be alert to any challenges or opportunities that present themselves."

Danny Brown, "25 Bucks"
That collaboration between Danny Brown and Megan James from the Purity Ring has a video, which means we are obligated to post it, because Danny Brown.
That collaboration between Danny Brown and Megan James from the Purity Ring has a video, which means we are obligated to post it, because Danny Brown.
Is Danny Brown on one of the greatest hot streaks of all time? (Apart from everything else that has happened with him recently, he was in the Bob Dylan video that we were all talking about yesterday, which he puts down to "[b]eing in the right place at the right time. The same guys that did my video for 'Grown Up' – Walter Pictures – they were the guys to do this one. And they could've picked any rapper to do that. Ain't nobody gonna say no to Dylan.") I'm going to go with "yes." [Via]
How do you think rapper Danny Brown is preparing for Hurricane Sandy? (He lives in Detroit, so he's probably not doing anything this weekend except watching the Tigers. We know how much he likes Tigers.) But even if he lived on the East Coast, you kinda get the feeling that he might not be too fazed. He seems like the type of person who could ride out three days in a basement strip club without ever going to sleep or knowing whether or not it's raining outside. For the rest of us, some very good rap videos came out the past few days. Let's use this weekend to [...]
Solved: The mystery of how Detroit rapper Danny Brown lost his front tooth. And how Die Antwoord's Ninja, from Johannesburg, lost his.
There have been a number of songs with this same title released by various musical artists over the years. But Danny Brown's is better than all of them. Especially that other one with the rapping on it.
Herman Cain's chief of staff Mark Block has made a new campaign ad.
Just kidding. Actually, that's a new video from Detroit rapper and producer Quelle Chris, whose album Shotgun & Sleek Rifle comes out next week. The first single from album, "Symbolic (Basquiat)" came out a few weeks ago. And it's good, but not as good as its B-side, "Shotguns" (sort of a title track to the album, I guess) which features Chris's friend and frequent collaborator Danny Brown and long-toiling Long Island MC Roc Marciano.
This is from last night's "Arsenio," but it hardly matters because it's Danny Brown, which means automatic post. Enjoy.
I am not saying this website is going to turn into a Danny Brown fansite, with all Danny Brown videos all the time, but I am saying that, for me, this afternoon is going to turn into a Danny Brown afternoon, with this song over and over. I like it, is what I'm trying to get at.
Here is a very enjoyable video of the young Brooklyn rapper Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire talking about books—it includes him reading an excerpt from his all-time favorite, Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist. Here is a very strange video for a song called "Flight Confirmation" that the Los Angeles producer The Alchemist made with rappers Danny Brown and Schoolboy Q—it includes some material that may not be safe for you to watch at work. Here is a very good essay written by the aphorist James Guida about four recent books written by rappers—it includes the sentence, "By now the Queensbridge duo has several albums to their name, the [...]
Ooooh! The Yancey Media Group, an organization founded in memory of the late and beloved Detroit producer James "J Dilla" Yancey, and Ruff Draft Records are releasing an album next month of local MCs rapping over previously unreleased Dilla beats. It's called The Rebirth of Detroit, and the first single is the excellent track above on which Danny Brown disses a competitor by telling him, "You're softer than that rock band Asia." That's pretty soft.
People that would definitely not be named "Person of the Year" by Philadelphia rappers Black Deniro and Freeway: 1) The "Twitter Thug" 2) The "Fake Baller" 3) The "Bougie Chick" 4) The "Phone Gangster" 5) The "Goon Rat" 6) The "Sneaky Groupie"
An artist out of Brooklyn by the name of Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire has his borough in his blood—a little of Biggie's deep-lunged authority comes through in his style, and a little of Ol' Dirty Bastard's unhinged perviness, too—and he has an underground hit on his hands with a song called "Huzzah," which was produced by the death-obsessed hardcore veteran Necro. For the remix, he gathered an impressive collection of avant garde MCs—Queens' Despot, Detroit's Danny Brown, hometown faves Das Racist, and the venerable Def Jux Records founder El-P (who wears a large mustache and reminds us again how terrific and ahead-of-its-time his old group Company Flow [...]
Remember when I was all, "I swear this website will not turn into a Danny Brown fansite with all Danny Brown videos all the time"? I guess it was another one of my empty promises, because he showed up on the Jimmy Kimmel late night show last night and did this song with Megan James from the Purity Ring and here I am putting it up. Sorry. I bet you'll forgive me though. [Via]
Hold tight, kids, we are this close to the weekend! [Via]
Above, a video that Adidas made at a recent recording session with Detroit rap star Danny Brown and Rhode Island-born producer Araabmuzik. They're recording a song called "Molly Ringwald," named for the beloved star of "The Facts of Life" and so many John Hughes movies in the '80s. (And also probably sort-of for ecstasy, which is increasingly known as "molly" in hip-hop circles.) It came out good. And Molly Ringwald will be narrating the audiobook version of Awl pal Jami Attenberg's forthcoming novel, The Middlesteins—which Kirkus recently declared a "sharp-tongued, sweet-natured masterpiece of Jewish family life."
"I'm gettin' money ballin'/But never played sports/I'm so hot, in the winter/I can wear shorts…" —Juicy J weighs in on the great shorts debate. Having found his low-tech rhyme style (which often doesn't much rhyme at all) particularly at home with the thwomping, orchestral Lex Luger sound that has taken over the southern side of the genre over the past year, the 35-year-old Three 6 Mafia rapper is on a hot streak. He signed with Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang Records in December, and declared himself the game's "No. 1 Get-High Rapper." And while there's lots of good stuff on his latest mixtape, Blue Dream and [...]
The escaped Bengal tiger last seen terrorizing suburban Portland, Oregon two months ago in Stephen Malkmus' "Tigers" video has been found in a Detroit basement. Apparently, whatever tranquilizer the animal control agent used to temporarily subdue him has led to the development of a serious drug addiction. And turned him into rapper Danny Brown, who is excellent.
Early this year, John Patrick Leary, a professor of American literature at Wayne State University, published a story in Guernica called "Detroitism" about, primarily, the two competing journalistic and artistic narratives about the Motor City.
There's the Detroit Lament, which he describes as an examination of the city's decline that is mostly told through the examination of physical spaces. You may have heard it referred to as "ruin porn." And there's the Detroit Utopia, stories which purport to show a new way forward for the city, be it through urban farming, $100 homes or bicycling. (Utopian depictions of Detroit, Leary noted, tend to involve young creative white people.)
Leary [...]

David Cameron wants mobe network roaming INSIDE the UK
Seems a reasonable idea provided it's a quid pro quo - operators get rural roaming (saving them cash) provided they fill the blackspots (costing them cash).
The government needs to add universal provision as a condition of mobile and broadband.
Let police track you through your mobe - it's for your OWN GOOD
The Swiss have an app for that
I can see no reason not to provide location data for emergency calls. It's not a slippery slope, it's a special case.
The Swiss have an app called echo112. It uses your smartphone's GPS to determine your position, call the correct emergency number for your location and sends your location over the data network or text. The emergency operator gets your location by checking the echo112 website: http://www.echo112.com/

Foxconn mulls solar panels, sticking Apple where sun doesn't shine
Nuclear -> Solar?
Solar (and other renewables) still account for a tiny proportion of electricity (let alone energy) in Japan. Japan may be a good market for solar panels but it takes a lot of PV panels to replace one nuclear reactor. Fukishama alone had 6.
Remember that Xeon E7-Itanium convergence? FUHGEDDABOUDIT
Itanium doesn't have sufficient market share or performance advantage to survive. A rational HP would be looking to kill it off but with a defined migration path for NonStop and other customers. The money's in the software stack, not the hardware.

Project Orion
Will they consider the Project Orion many small nukes and a large, steel pusher plate option? It'd be great to watch in action!
BT fibre rollout reaches Scotland, Wales
Great headline for BT but what about all the premises they bypassed in the upgraded exchanges? Looks like there's no pressure to add the 1 in 3 cabinets that they coudn't be bothered doing first time round.
Blighty's bumpkins bemoan bold broadband bluster
The forgotten "not spots"
I'm luck enough to live in a village that's just got FTTC. Openreach proudly proclaim it as Infinity enabled. What they don't say is that they only upgraded one cabinet and have no plans to do the other. So half the village will remain a "not spot" for the forseable future. Perhaps I should do a deal with my neighbours at the bottom of the garden who are on the lucky side?
Green Berets get wearable combat smartphones
When will the first countermeasures appear?
If the kit's going to have wireless links that are frequently active it won't be long before someone starts using the signal to identify targets. Not much point sneaking around in long grass if you're a wireless beacon!

- About Us
- For Teachers/Teacher-Librarians
- Principals' Corner
- Parents
How do we prepare teachers for teaching and learning the ever evolving landscape of technology? Chris Kennedy, the Superintendent of Schools / CEO with the West Vancouver School District (West Vancouver, BC), suggests that
"We've shifted from seeing technology as a way to support distance learning to looking for ways to make blended learning part of every student's educational experience. And we are beginning to move beyond being excited about the tools themselves to looking for ways we can best use these tools to support learning goals and good pedagogy."

Alberta Education's Guide to Education: Kindergarten to Grade 12 provides important guidelines for the school library program in Alberta schools:
"Students in Alberta schools should have access to an effective school library program that is integrated with instructional programs. Such library programs improve student opportunities for achieving a basic education. Student learning experiences should integrate information retrieval and research skills. These skills are learned best within the curricula. To promote integration, opportunities for cooperative planning between teachers and teacher–librarians should be provided.
In an integrated school library program, the services and activities are not peripheral or supplementary to the school's instructional program; they are an
essential and dynamic part of it. The integrated library program broadens, deepens and personalizes learning by involving students in the planned and
purposeful use of resources. Library resources are designed to help students expand their abilities to find, generate, evaluate and apply information.
Developing these information skills will, in turn, prepare students to function effectively as individuals and as full participants in society. An integrated school library program attends not only to its formal instructional role, but also to its function as a centre for informal learning. As a resource centre, the school library should be a place where students can pursue their individual educational interests." (p.69)

The school learning commons should be a space where learning and technology intersect. Ewan McIntosh discusses ways to create multiple learning spaces within your school and/ or learning commons:
The Online Reference Centre (ORC) grant-in-aid for 2014/2015 has been approved! This means that the ORC will remain available to all Alberta K-12 students, parents, staff and pre-service teachers.
The ORC is currently in the process of firming up its 2014/2015 collection. Although the ORC is working with the same budget this year, US exchange rates have changed, and this has an impact, since many of the ORC contracts are paid to US publishers in US funds. The ORC Coordinator is working with the current publishers to see what can be done about maintaining the current collection despite changing financial circumstances.
Find the ORC at http://www.learnalberta.ca/ or visit the ORC Support Site at http://www.onlinereferencecentre.ca/

I also doubt any civil action will be successful. The guard only tased the man as he was running him over. But it was interesting how he chased the man on to traffic and busted his window.

A true story
It is a weekday at lunch time. A winter day. Sunny
You are working at a guard shack. The place you are working is a closed down factory. The road from the gatehouse to main road is probably 150 yards. At the entrance are traffic cones blocking the roadway. Also at the entrance of the road are No Trespassing, and Private Property signs
You observe walking down the roadway past the traffic cones is a male. 20-25 years old. You walk out of the guard shack, and inform the walker, "This is private property, you are going to have to leave the property" He ignores your demand, but continues to walk toward the gatehouse. You notice what appears to be a knife handle sticking out of his coat pocket. The man seems dazed, and confused
The trespasser
walks past the gatehouse, and onto the property of the abandoned factory
The officer stepped back in the gatehouse, locked the door, and called the local police
Local police were on the property within 5 minutes, and apprehended this trespasser.
Wild Dog; You tell us where that Security Officer did wrong, and you would have done different?
BTW: I have worked contract security for many, many years. Worked for the big boys
Pinkerton, Burns international Security, Wells Fargo, Securitas.
In all their training films. Detect, deter, report, and if necessary retreat to a safe haven
And you write "The chasing, fighting, intimidating, that's what I live for" You played
Sergent Joe Friday of Dragnet, in this scenario, where you could have Detect, deter, report, and if necessary retreat to a safe haven
you probably wouldn't have a job after this

@ ContractSec level III: Yes, the Bothell incident. The coverage was a bit skewed because the S/Os were told not to say anything, and the cops weren't talking because it was an active investigation. I know guys who work for the company involved, and they are all professionals.
The kid goes to the alternative high school next door, and they found pills (not specified what they were) in the car or on his person. The FDA parking lot and facility are marked with signs about not entering. Draw your own conclusions...

What does the 90 pound, 20 year old college girl suppose to do against this maniac?
Not all of us have attended the "Bruce Lee, Enter the Dragon School" of kicking the crap

BTW: I appreciate your views that it is smarter to call the police. Let them handle it

The coiffure connoisseurs at Hair Envy Salon transform wild, unmanageable manes into sleek, obedient scalp guards. First, scissor twirlers snip off split ends and add fresh style with a precision haircut ($25 value). Next, the approximately 90-minute Brazilian blowout zero treatment nourishes and smooths strands, improving hairs' condition as it banishes frizz, curls, and baby parakeets (up to a $425 value). The process comprises an initial shampoo with a preparatory solution, a thorough douse of the formaldehyde-free formula, a blow-dry and flat-iron styling, and an application of a style-sealing mask. After receiving one final rinse and a coat of smoothing serum, manes are blown dry again, emerging as straight and glamorous-in-the-wind as a yacht's mast. A skin-softening paraffin hand treatment ($10) concludes pampering.

Michaels Eyecare's shelves also glow with a variety of designer brand names such as Revolution, Ralph Lauren, DKNY, and Versus. After visitors choose a frame, provide their lens prescription, and divulge their staring contest records, Gregory and Karyn will cut lenses specific to the client's vision issues and ensure that the frame finely complements and fits the face.

University of Nevada, Reno
You are here: Nevada Home > University Administrative Manual > 6,000-6,999: Curricula, Teaching, and Research > Courses and Curricula > 6,090: Review of Low-Yield Academic Programs
Revised: July 2012
To conform to Board of Regents policies for low-yield program review and to provide data for an early warning to potential low-yield programs, the Office of Institutional Analysis annually produces for the President and Executive Vice President & Provost a report of all academic programs that are identified as low-yield according to criteria established by the Board of Regents. The policy also provides for exceptions based on criteria described in the Board of Regents Handbook (Title 4, Chapter 14).
Academic programs designated as low-yield in this annual report from Institutional Analysis are reviewed by the President and Executive Vice President & Provost in consultation with the Faculty Senate the year in which they meet the low-yield thresholds. According to Regents' policy, action is required within the following three years regarding a program's continuation, merger, or exemption from low-yield. This three-year period provides an early warning for programs in the low-yield category.
The President is required to report annually to the Chancellor all programs designated low-yield within three years of the program initially reaching the low-yield thresholds. Also included will be the results of the institutional review process of such programs. This report to the chancellor will not include programs in their first and second year of low-yield status.
In order to have clean and consistent data, the following guidelines will be used to prepare the report for the President and the Executive Vice President & Provost:
Emphases and specializations within a major will not be treated separately; the lowest unit of analysis will be an academic major. An academic unit (department) having more than one academic major will have each academic major examined separately in relation criteria for low-yield. However, the University has the prerogative of exempting from low-yield status a program that is one of several programs provided by an academic unit or that can be justified for other reasons deemed adequate by the Provost's Office and consistent with Regents' criteria. This decision will be made annually by the Provost's Office after reviewing the data identified above.

Progressives are not having a good week.
After a debate "victory" for President Obama, which amounted to simply being caffeinated because the bar was set so low after the first debate, his Libya lies are still haunting him. Yes, moderator Candy Crowley saved his bacon in the moment, but she ended up costing him by forcing a reluctant media to continue to cover the story. He may have won the night, but he lost the week because of it.
Had the president simply taken responsibility for his administration's security failures, apologized, said it would haunt him and shape his actions...

What Is a Capital Gains Tax?
Check out this helpful post from our friends at Investing Answers:
What It Is
A capital gains tax is a tax on the increase in the value of an investment.
How It Works
A capital gain is the difference between the purchase price (the basis) and the sale price of an asset. The formula for capital gain is:
Sale Price – Purchase Price = Capital Gain
Note that this formula assumes the sale price is higher than the purchase price. If an investor sells an asset for less than he or she paid, this is called a capital loss, and no tax is owed.
Let's assume you purchase 100 shares of XYZ Company for $1 per share. After three months, the share price increases to $5. This means the value of the investment has increased from $100 to $500, for a capital gain of $400.
Taxpayers report capital gains on IRS Schedule D, but these gains are subject to different tax rates depending on whether they are short term or long term (and in some cases depending on the type of asset).
In the example above, if you sold the XYZ Company after a year, the IRS would consider your $400 profit a long-term capital gain and would tax it at one of several lower, flat rates. However, if you sold the XYZ Company shares after just three months, the IRS would consider your $400 profit a short-term capital gain and tax that $400 at your ordinary income tax rate, which is generally higher than the long-term capital gains tax rate.
Why It Matters
Some retirement vehicles, such as 401(k)s and IRAs, allow investors to buy and sell assets within these vehicles without becoming subject to capital gains tax. This tax deferral effectively gives investors a larger balance on which to compound interest or returns, with capital gains tax applying only when the investor begins to make withdrawals.
An investor's capital losses will sometimes offset all or a portion of his or her capital gains, lowering the investor's tax bill. There is a limit, however, to how much the investor can offset. Note also that the IRSdoes not treat the distributions of net realized long-term capital gains, like those from a mutual fund, as capital gains. The IRS treats those as ordinary dividends.

The Amish are well known for their quality handcrafted items. In the reality television show Return to Amish and Breaking Amish, Mary (Abe's mother on the show) is seen in several episodes crocheting afghans and seems to enjoy one particular pattern. In a recent episode Mary even began selling her work.
Several of us who crochet watch the show wanting to know where to find the crochet patterns so we can make an afghan like the ones Mary creates. After doing a little research here are some of the patterns that are similar to the ones Mary is crocheting on the Breaking Amish show.
The first afghan shown on the back of Mary's couch and in several episodes is the Lacy Chevron which is available for download in Leisure Arts Afghan Parade book here you can also download just the individual pattern Lacy Chevron afghan ePattern instead of the entire book here.
For the printed version of the book you should be able to locate it on eBay at a discounted price here.
If you download these patterns from Leisure Arts be sure to use the code ART15 for 15% off for a limited time on patterns.
There is also a similar free afghan pattern called Mountain Mist but make sure to read the comments section on the page, as some of the readers have had a few problems with the pattern and made several suggestions for correcting the pattern.
Another afghan viewed on the show is the star afghan pattern. This one was found for free on the Yarn Inspirations website and looks like a fairly easily and nice pattern to make. Download this free pattern here. You can also Google or search for ripple afghan patterns that might be similar on sites such as Raverly.
