ALL SIGNS MOON ALERT: Caution: Avoid shopping or making important decisions all day. The Moon is in Aries. (It's a goofy, pleasure-loving day.)
◆ARIES (March 21-April 19): Today is a lovely contrast from yesterday. Yes, the Moon Alert discourages shopping and important decisions but not having fun! This is a fun-loving day! Enjoy interacting with others. Those who are working today will get along well with co-workers.
◆TAURUS (April 20-May 20): This is a playful, fun-loving day! Enjoy schmoozing. Accept all invitations to party or socialize. Sports events, the theater, the arts and busy activities with children will delight you. Romance is in the air and flirtations promise private thrills. Oo-la-la!
◆GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You couldn't pick a better day to entertain at home. Invite people over for good food and drink. People are friendly and eager to socialize. In fact, your interaction with others might contribute to the wealth of your home and family in some way.
◆CANCER (June 21-July 22): This is a good day to get together with friends, especially siblings, neighbors and relatives. Nobody wants to work. Everyone's lack of discipline is replaced with an eagerness to share good times and enjoy the company of others.
◆LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Even though this is a Moon Alert day, you can dream up interesting money-making ideas. Write them down for later consideration. Some of you will have an opportunity to boost your earnings. Many will be tempted to shop for goodies and treasures — be careful.
◆VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You feel content with your world and benevolent to others. Not only do you feel at peace, you want to share these good feelings. (Many people feel generous.) New friendship or even a new romance might begin. Ah yes, this is the light after the storm.
◆LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Perhaps because of your own inner contentment, you will look for ways to help others. If you have a chance to do this, you will feel gratified and rewarded. In contrast to yesterday, today everyone wants to take the high road and help others, if they can.
◆SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This is a fabulous day for all kinds of group activities. Get out and enjoy yourself. You'll enjoy classes, meetings, casual get-togethers or large conferences. Yes, it's a poor day to volunteer or make important decisions but it's a great day to exchange ideas.
◆SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Relations with others, especially parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs are smooth. People are friendly and warmhearted to each other. They also are mutually generous and willing to help each other. (Far cry from yesterday.)
◆CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Travel for pleasure will thrill you. Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened, you will enjoy so many things. Visit museums, art galleries, parks and beautiful architectural buildings. Discuss profound ideas with others.
◆AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Others will be generous to you, so keep your pockets open. This is not a good day to sign important papers or make important decisions; nevertheless, be cooperative with others. Intimacy and romance will be fondly memorable.
◆PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): All relationships are warm and friendly because people feel happy, generous and warm-hearted. Accept the attention and generosity of others. Go out and be friendly, your positive actions and consideration for others will come back to you in kind.
If JULY 28 is Your Birthday: Inspirational hero Terry Fox (1958-1981) shares your birthday. You're a romantic, dynamic individual. You have excellent social skills and a sense of how to deal with others. You appreciate the arts and will support them or be involved in some way. You're resourceful and organized because you know these tools help you get what you want. This year an important change will take place, perhaps something as significant as what happened around 2004.

I had a wonderful time in British Columbia this past weekend. Redeemer Pacific College is a really happening place and I'm confident we're gonna see some terrific Christian leaders come outta there. In fact, Jeremy Lott (who I met and with whom I had a delightful conversation) is from there.

April 30, 2014 - Are you an employer that is unclear of the value of Human Resources as a business partner? Or maybe you're a small employer and do not have the resources to hire a dedicated HR professional? No matter your company's status – there are several legal fundamentals that you'll want to comply with in order to keep out of hot water and avoid costly fees.
April 30, 2014 - Of all the aspects of building a big company from scratch, nailing a great company culture is perhaps the hardest to quantify and thus also one of the hardest things to do. It's inherently difficult because it's all about people - there will be all different types of people in an organization and the needs of the organization will require different skills and talents at different points along the journey.
April 30, 2014 - In Q1 2014, 58 US venture capital funds raised $8.9B according to Thomson Reuters and the NVCA. This represented the strongest fundraising quarter by dollars raised since Q4 2007. However, the five largest funds raised this quarter accounted for 60% of total dollars raised, demonstrating further polarization among large, longer-tenured firms and smaller, new firms.
April 16, 2014 - When I heard that Box.com had filed for IPO, I was excited to look through their S-1 filing as the company could be the first big hit of a new generation of SaaS companies that are riding the "consumerization of IT" wave. SaaS companies such as Box.com, Dropbox, Evernote, Github and Hubspot look more like consumer software companies compared to companies like AthenaHealth, Conerstone, ExactTarget, SuccessFactors, Veeva and Workday that have professional services staff and account managers to help make customers successful.
April 16, 2014 - During an acquisition, potential buyers don't want to discover anything new that wasn't previously disclosed, anything that raises any questions, anything at all unexpected. Surprises can cause your potential buyer to reduce their original offer…or even walk away.
April 16, 2014 - There were 105 US venture backed M&A transactions in Q1 2014 with $7.5B in disclosed deal value according to the Exit Poll report by Thomson Reuters and the NVCA. Disclosed deal value on a rolling four quarter basis increased 38%, partially due to a 19% increase in the number of deals disclosed. Additionally, the average M&A deal size reached $259MM in Q1 2014, the highest level since 2004. According to PitchBook, the median deal size was $40MM in Q1 2014 of 111 venture backed M&A exits globally (PitchBook Data, Inc. 2014).

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – White Stripes drummer Meg White has married fiance Jackson Smith in Nashville.
The 34-year-old rock drummer's publicist said in a statement Tuesday that the ceremony was part of a double wedding Friday in the backyard of White's musical partner, Jack White.
Smith is the son of punk singer Patti Smith and the late guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith of the rock band MC5. The younger Smith is also a rock guitarist.
The other couple that wed Friday was Jack Lawrence and his girlfriend Jo McCaughey.
Jack Lawrence is the bass player in Jack White's other musical projects: the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather.
The wedding was attended by a small party of close friends and relatives.
The White Stripes got their start in Detroit. Though Meg and Jack White have claimed to be siblings, court records have suggested they were married for four years before divorcing in 2000.
Meg White and Jackson Smith live in Detroit.

Next Board Meeting: October 22, ,2014 6:00 pm
AAUW WESTERN DISTRICT MEETING was held Saturday, October 18th at the Butler County Community College in Cranberry Township. The following branches were represented: Beaver Valley, Butler, Fox Chapel Area, Indiana, North Hills-McKnight, and Pittsburgh. Ron Cowell, President of Education Policy Leadership Center and Dr. Linda Hippert, Executive Director of the Allegheny Intermediate Unit spoke on concerns, issues, and policies that affect public education.
Report of 85th Annual AAUW-PA Meeting
Each year after attending the annual state AAUW meeting, I return home wishing that our entire membership could have been there to feel the same energy and enthusiasm. From Friday afternoon until Sunday noon, it was continual interaction and dialogue with members across the state and notables from National and others involved with our issues.
My official duty, as a member of the Voting and Elections Committee, was to verify and count paper and electronic ballots, and even though both offices—President (Dot McLane) and Program Vice President (Michele Buford)—were uncontested, we still respected the credible process of meticulously counting each vote before declaring winners.
Julia Brown, AAUW National Vice President, addressed the group both Friday evening and Sunday morning about "Women on all Fronts", and the other speakers were representatives of that theme, too. Julia said, "We predict the future by creating it ourselves, and the hope for the future of AAUW is in the young student leaders on college campuses." We, in Beaver County are sitting in a hotbed of colleges that could become our partners so that helpful tools can be offered to young women: How to negotiate a starting salary, how to run for office, how to become leaders, how to secure grants and additional financial aid, and how to bring programs on campus. We can do that! We can approach nearby colleges as to how they can become AAUW/College partners to officially implement these ideas under our name. More members—and that includes students—can amplify our voice on Capital Hill.
Char Rusnak, a scientist working for the Department of Defense, spoke about her experiences as Senior Gender Integration and Human Rights Advisor in Kabul, Afghanistan. In the US attempts to serve as role models for the women, it was/is difficult to change a culture where 90% of Afghan women are illiterate, where the legal age for marriage is 16, but 75% of the women have four (4) children by then and are abused by husband and mother-in-law, and where they are restricted to homes from which they may leave twice in their lives: going from the father's to the father-in-law's house and death. We know that persecution of women occurs in many countries, but we are also aware that violence to women occurs here, too, largely human trafficking.
The Violence Against Women Project is one of AAUW's state-wide efforts to educate and inform about the vastness of the everyday occurrence of violence and what can be done about it One in four women has experienced domestic violence at some point in her life. The Impact Public Policy Grant of $1000 to AAUW-PA on this issue was shared with nine (9) branches who discussed how they applied for and implemented their $100 mini-grants. Their creative planning for public or just branch events included varied programs, such as showing documentary films, "The Invisible War" and "The Line"; hosting author-advocate of Facing the Monster: How One Person Can Fight Child Slavery; leading discussions on what to do if you suspect human trafficking in your community; developing a pamphlet about breaking the cycle of violence against women; setting up a panel discussion by community agencies on the topic, and holding a Domestic Violence Vigil. We can do any of this! All we need is contact with the proper source so that we can become a resource of information for others on this issue.
With the inception of Girls Recognition Night which recognizes middle school girls who excel in math and science, the STEM initiative can extend beyond recognition and offer continual opportunities with hands-on demonstrations and lab work at Penn State, Beaver Campus, as it is done at the Main Campus. We can do it!

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Pinch hitter Eric Hinske belted a long two-run homer in the 11th inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-7 on Sunday to complete a three-game series sweep.
With Cliff Pennington aboard following a leadoff double, Hinske drove a 1-2 pitch from John Axford (0-1) onto the concourse beyond the wall in center field. Hinske raised his right arm as he rounded second with his eighth career pinch-hit homer.
Tony Sipp (1-0) struck out two in a perfect 10th inning and Heath Bell held on for his first save after J.J. Putz blew an opportunity in the ninth.
Jonathan Lucroy had a one-out RBI single, but Rickie Weeks and pinch hitter Kyle Lohse -- a starting pitcher forced into duty after manager Ron Roenicke ran through his available players -- struck out to end the game.
Ailing slugger Ryan Braun stepped into the on-deck circle with Weeks at the plate, but Roenicke called him back into the dugout after he struck out.

Ishigaki (Day 17-20)
... at the reception. Green Tea, Water, WLAN for free (just on the ground floor, but it is fine). You can order a breakfast, but direct on the other side of the hotel is a very good French bakery, with a huge offer of sweet and salty stuff, cold and they can warm it up. Very tasty and cheap. Helpful web page: http://www.ishigaki-japan.com So, that's all. As I mentioned that was our vacation time. When you need more info, just write us, we hope we can help ...
$20 hamburger
... 10 for a towel, and $10 for a tube!! $6 for a shaved ice. It's so ridiculously expensive. It's been quite a shock, even for a repeated visitor. Despite the beauty of this island, Okinawa is definitely far from a backpacking potential. And what's more disturbing is that I recently lost $50 :'( A few days ago, I was at an airport trying to check into a domestic flight to Ishigaki island. I had about 45 minutes before the flight departure. When I walked up to ...
Taketomi Island
... attraction which my mum and I enjoyed together in the island. Interestingly, the buffalo knew the route, although a guide was on the car. He stopped a few times on the way, but walked without the guide's directions. After the ride, a staff kindly took a picture of us with the buffalo. That was a nice experience. They also gave us a free ride to the ferry port. Because we had nothing to do in the island, we headed back to Ishigaki Island to spend some time until our flight time.
Iriomote Island
... Because the number of tourist attractions of the island was limited, it was no wonder. I saw many blue butterflies near the beach even in winter and they made me happy.
After we tasted Yaeyama buckwheat noodle in a restaurant near the rental car shop, we finally took a cruise to the Nakamagawa River. The cruise was supposed to be operated three times a day, but because the number of the visitors to the island was very small on the day, the ferry ran only once on ...
Ishigaki Island
... we paid a visit to Yaeyama Palm Tree Forest. It was a small forest with many palm trees and we didn't stay there long. My mum didn't even get out of the car. The next destination was the highlight of the trip to Ishigaki Island: Kabira Bay. We ride a glass-bottom boat to see coral reefs in the bay. Unfortunately, many coral reefs were dead and not so beautiful. Besides, the guide on the boat didn't speak clearly. We couldn't enjoy the boat ...

We focus on real estate and estate planning. We are a small town law firm focused on helping people solve their legal problems.
Our firm started in 1984 when I joined Henry H. Newlin in his practice. He became a judge in the early 90s and it has been a solo practice since that time.
We recently represented a contractor in a jury trial where he was awarded every penny of his damages, in spite of counter-claims by the Defendant. We also recovered all of his attorney fees from the Defendant, very unusual in a case of this nature.

Alice or Michelle.
The areas of practice are the ones required in a small town practice.
I think there is a lot of information available, not all of it understandable to a layperson.
We are always willing to review documents.
I think these are cases where clients should represent themselves and I am glad to provide advice.
In my last job I was an attorney in the legal department of First Federal of Michigan.
I have had numerous other jobs and while practicing have taken on other projects and board memberships which help me understand how things work and get done.
I return phone calls and try to be very responsive to my clients needs.Personal interests:
Tennis, reading, bicycling and boating.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Community members ride in support of the family of a seven year old girl hit and killed by a car in Cape Coral.
Abigail Janssen was killed earlier this month. Sunday, a cookout and poker run was held in her honor.
"It's been a very sad situation for all of us, and, this is just all of her friends, getting together and doing something for them," said fundraiser organizer Chili Pinheiro.
Pictures of Janssen are up inside Bottles Lounge on Del Prado Boulevard. In one photo, her parents Chris and Mandy sit beside her. Now a tremendous void is left behind, as Abigail was their only child. Friends gathered to show compassion and support, and also to raise money to help with funeral costs.
"She was their world, they were all very close," said family friend Renee Schad. "Chris was just a wonderful dad, she's a great mom and, they had special things that they did together. It's just so hard to think about losing a child that way."
Abigail was killed in a Cape Coral neighborhood on June 2nd. Police say she and a cousin were lying on their stomachs, playing on skateboards, when they rode from their driveway into the street. At the same time, a Ford F-150 driven by 27 year old Jacob Amann was on the road. The girls collided with the truck.
According to reports, Amann hit the brakes and swerved, but it was too late. His front tire had run over Abigail Janssen, killing her.
As the healing process for Abigail's parents proves to be an unfathomable challenge, friends like Renee Schad vow to be there every step of the way.
"They come together for a loss like this and everybody had just been so wonderful, so giving, and so caring, it was just amazing," Schad said.
There will be another benefit to the family of Abigail Janssen on July 17th at the Skyline Eagles Club. The total amount raised from Sunday's event was more than $2,000 dollars.

More than half of Irish employers plan to cancel the annual staff Christmas party this year, according to a new survey.
Some 51% of employers have labeled the annual get-together too costly to justify in straitened financial times, according to the survey by employment law consultancy group Peninsula Ireland.
More business news stories from IrishCentral
Vanity Fair says Damian McGinty's 'Glee's' character is a stereotypical insult - VIDEO
Starlings take flight over River Shannon in Ireland - VIDEO
"Businesses have to weigh up whether the cost of hosting a Christmas party is worth it for their business – firms are still trying to tighten their belts and subsequently they don't feel that the price of a Christmas party can be justified," said Alan Price, managing director of Peninsula Ireland.
Additionally, 72% of managers reported having to deal with employee complaints over drunken behavior following a Christmas party, adding to the potential problems of hosting a staff gathering.
Drink driving is another concern, as a recent crackdown makes it illegal to drive with more than one drink in your system.
Traditionally, Irish police become very vigilant post-Christmas because of the huge numbers of accidents related to drinking at parties.

Future Bear wants to save the world
Rollins professors Rachel Simmons and Julian Chambliss create an environmental superhero
Published: April 16, 2014
Chambliss, a comic book expert who explores the deeper social meanings of superheroes in his urban history classes, emphasizes Future Bear's abilities: "Empathic telepathy – she projects her thoughts to people and gets their thoughts and feelings; strength – she is a freaking bear! And bio-enhancement, which in the future will be common." This story will play out in several issues, and they're planning still more. The unusual combination of science and superhero gets to the heart with an accessible message, reaching people otherwise unaffected by science-centric news stories.
"When I travel, I'm keenly aware of the impact I will make on the place I'm visiting," said Simmons in her TED talk, "and that is a tension that comes up in my artwork a lot." Artists, by nature, sensitize themselves to their surroundings to better document and create. Future Bear's accidental displacement gets to the root of our current exquisite discomfort; we are too big, influencing the entire planet, yet we feel too small, with no power to halt the process. Future Bear shares her moral capital with humans and invites us to do the same. That is the only way we can hope to slow this devilish juggernaut of man-made planetary change.

In what is becoming a trend, the Heat once again Tuesday night played a game you would like to punt into a canal, jump in after it, drag it to the bottom, and put it under a rock like an alligator. Except they won this time, 93-86. Yeah, the Celtics are sucky, but a win is a win, right?

Dwyane Wade scored 29 and LeBron James had 18 Thursday night in a 102-97 Miami Heat win over the Los Angeles Clippers. The game marked the biggest test the Heat have faced so far this season, with many predicting these same two teams will meet in the Finals come June. Miami passed the test.
Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade is no stranger to fashion provocation, but gauging by the reaction from his stroll into Chicago's United Center last night in a tailored Gucci suit that featured ankle-flashing capri pants, you would have assumed he'd shown up in a rainbow Speedo and glittery suspenders. ...

I want you to marry again...On the anniversary of his beloved wife's death, Dr. Michael Everett receives a letter Hannah had written him. In it she makes one final request. An impossible request: I want you to marry again - and she's chosen three women he should consider. First is Winter Adams, a trained chef who owns a cafe on Blossom Street. The second is Leanne Lancaster, Hannah's oncology nurse. Michael knows them both. But the third name is one he's not familiar with - Macy Roth. Each of these three women has her own heartache, but during the months that follow, Michael spends time with Winter, Leanne and Macy, learning more about each of them...and about himself.

Customer reviews
By Penny Cunningham 09 Aug 2010
If your a fan of "Chic lit" you will certainly enjoy this book, an easy summer read. Dr Michale Everett is a widow, his wife Hannah having died from ovarian cancer. On the anniversary of her death Michael is given a letter written by Hannah before she died, it gives a list of three names of women that Hannah thinks would make suitable wives for him when she has gone.
The story basically tells you of Michaels trials and tribulations meeting the three and getting to know them! It is quite predictable and doesn't take a lot of thought to see where it will end, but is quite an enjoyable read if you don't want to have to think in depth about what you are reading, great for the beach.
Not really my sort of thing, but not bad!
Review quote
"When God created Eve, he must have asked Debbie Macomber for advice because no one does female characters any better than this author." - Bookbrowser Reviews "A charming tale about the power of friendship." - OK! "An emotional, heart-warming and highly enjoyable read." - Closer"

Determining fitness to fly is a difficult task for physicians, especially for those caring for children with respiratory disorders, as the available information for guidance is scarce. This case describes the use of a flight simulation in a decompression chamber in order to assess fitness to fly in an 18-mo-old infant with congenital lobar emphysema (CLE). The case discussion focuses on the need for an understanding of flight physiology in order for physicians to determine the most appropriate method to assess fitness to fly in children with medical concerns.

It was just over a month before Myisha Brooks was set to cross the stage and accept her Bachelors of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) from ECPI in Virginia Beach that she was celebrating another event that was a direct result of her studies. On April 13 Myisha hosted a grand opening of Bizzy Beez Drop-In Childcare.
Myisha previously obtained her Associates in Biomedical degree from ECPI in 2006. After a successful career in Biomedical, she decided to return to ECPI to obtain her BSBA degree. It was during one of her business classes that she decided that she could be an entrepreneur and gained the confidence based on what she learned at ECPI.
She conducted market research to determine her location off of Virginia Beach Boulevard. It was through her marketing classes that she learned to develop business and marketing plans as well as Six Sigma which teaches business skills to prevent waste within a company. "My ECPI education has empowered me with so much information, in addition to networking opportunities and the support of teachers who are happy to share ideas," said Myisha.
Myisha has hired her first four employees and her goal is to have 30 children enrolled for summer camp.

4 state basketball teams earn honors
INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana's big four basketball programs were honored for their academic achievements by the NCAA on Wednesday.
Butler, Indiana, Notre Dame and Purdue each finished among the top 10 percent of college basketball programs in the classroom. Only 35 teams nationally made the annual Academic Progress Rate list, which uses data through the 2011-12 school year. Actual scores for each team will be released Tuesday. The NCAA said all of the teams scored between 978 and 1,000.
Scores are calculated by each scholarship athlete on each team. An individual accumulates one point per semester for remaining academically eligible and another point each semester for remaining at that school or graduating.
The NCAA recognizes the top 10 percent of teams in each sport and all schools that score a perfect 1,000. This year, 976 teams made the list.
Butler has produced three consecutives scores of 1,000 on the APR – a tool the NCAA bills as a real-time measurement of progress in the classroom. The most recent four-year data ended with the 2011-12 school year.
Notre Dame has never scored lower than 971 since the NCAA started tracking academic progress in 2004-05. The NCAA said all of the teams on the list scored at least 978.
Purdue's numbers have improved steadily since bottoming out at 894 in 2006-07 and 900 in 2007-08. The Boilermakers scored 919, 954 and 955 the last three years.
Notre Dame had 15 teams make the list, the most of any Division I school in the state. Butler had seven teams make the cut, Valparaiso had six, and Evansville and Indiana each had four teams on the list, including the Hoosiers' men's soccer team that won the national championship.
Each of the state's 10 Division I schools had at least one team make the list.

@Does it matter
> Getting so sick of the whole 'it's MS so it must be evil' bullshit
And I'm thoroughly sick of those who think that this is all there is to it.
If you would care to READ Microsoft's "standard" definition you would find that it is full of gaping, undefined and proprietary holes - any of which would make this "standard" utterly impossible to implement.
It's not the company, it's the MESS proposed as a standard.

@Adam Tustian

Hmm, that explains much.
Of laptops and US border searches
@Which user//

Ah, bless...
No logon is required at all to examine any disk physically.
Top security firm: Phorm is adware
@I don't really understand the business model
> [Adblock's] popularity should give Phorm an idea of the general feeling people have towards ads
Apparently Phorm doesn't care in the slightest - not when there are users to be exploited and money to be made.
As was said in one of their warm-n-fluffy pronouncements (I'm paraphrasing), this is an exciting service designed to help the poor befuddled user by providing ads. which Phorm claim would be of interest - and all at the simple and painless expense of tracking browsing habits using closed & proprietary software.
Naive or just plain ol' predatory - it's in there somewhere.
Why I downgraded from Vista to XP
@Your a minority
> I think you will find that the majority is the people who actually like it but are not on some forum or news blog trying to convince you its good.
Theoretically true, although it's strange that the forum-related majority are all reporting the same sort of problems with Vista and often with much information - as opposed to the 'it sux' type of nonsense (best ignored with any OS). Perhaps it's just a conspiracy, or all the posts I've seen in various places are written by one person...

ITYM "you're" - it's a contraction of "you are". The use of "your" would be in something like "Your installation of Vista is worthless", for example.
> Linux is not desktop ready for adverage joe. [they need to] learn how to run command line bullshit to install a piece of software, or compile it for their hardware, when they could just as easily click a file and have it install.
Oh dear. The usual rubbish trotted out by those who've not been near a Linux distribution in years. You really should look at KUbuntu, where several thousand free applications can be installed by clicking on an icon. Just like the other Linux distributions.
@Steven Hewittt
> Vista is a superior operating system to XP in nearly every single way
You keep banging this drum but it seems the majority is having a different experience. I suppose that must be their fault entirely. All of them...
> From 1st hand experience I can tell you with confidence that Vista will run smoothly on any desktop purchased in the last 3 years
Hmm - "any desktop", you say. Pity that didn't include a neighbour's machine which came with Vista pre-installed. Even though minimizing windows was reasonably quick (something under one second), for some reason nothing much else was possible until a few seconds had elapsed - irrespective of application. Starting and closing applications - even weedy things like Outlook - took an age; more than enough to make me think something had gone wrong until I got used to Vista's 'little ways'. This is how it was straight out the box.
So, from first-hand experience I can tell *you* with confidence that Vista ran absolutely appallingly on that desktop, which was purchased new less than a month ago. Rather strangely, this is depressingly similar to what I was told by someone else who was running it on a dual processor in 4GB of RAM - purchased from new within the last 6 months, and not pre-installed. He dumped it (along with the disk) and installed XP which - shock, horror - went like a rocket.

Phorm launches data pimping fight back
@Ads You dont want em, no probs
> I use admuncher
Well good for you, but ads. are easily blocked by a number of techniques. However, they're not the problem - they're just the end result of the REAL problem. (or in Phorm-speak, the "service")
@William Morton
Or: "Phorm targeted advertising" = HTTP adage, overriding terms.
No, no and NO
Far too much spin, gloss and misdirection - even in the response from the Phorm tech guys who STILL miss answering the direct questions - along with the charmingly naive assumption common to all purveyors of this type of 'service' which assumes adverts are somehow useful to everyone - but of course the ability to provide this 'service' is of MUCH greater use to Phorm, which exists only because the web has exploitable users. (I believe the warm and friendly term used was "monetise")
When I browse a site it's for a specific purpose and if a site doesn't cough up what I'm looking for then I simply look at another - generally easily found with any search engine. This whole experience is made annoying by the visual noise of ANY form of advertising so as a result, they're ALL disabled here. I don't WANT to see advertising, PERIOD.
I also dislike intensely the assumption that I'm a retard who requires "targeted advertising" <spits> because plainly, I am incapable of just looking about and deciding for myself. It's far too much like that sodding MS Office paper clip popping up and asking if I want help with writing a letter. Sure, go right ahead: write the whole damn thing for me...
It's completely arrogant and plain WRONG to be opted-in to this 'service' as the default choice: how dare you assume that I'll find useful what you provide, without even bothering to ask me first (and no; undocumented analysis of MY data doesn't count). As others have pointed out, to remain opted out I'd be REQUIRED to keep the Phorm cookie. No, not good enough; this is just shabby thinking. Further, since users who have opted in to this 'service' are helping Phorm make money it only seems fair that these users are paid for the data Phorm is harvesting. But of course it HAS to be opted-in as a default: who would (effectively) tick a box marked 'yes please - pester me with more adverts I've not asked for. The stuff I see on the streets, transport, TV and in newspapers just isn't enough'. The only acceptable form of default action is that my browsing habits are examined by nothing and no-one - unless I request it specifically. (law enforcement actions with the ISP and gubbinment snooping excepted...)
The privacy implications are legion and no amount of smooth talk will convince me that it's anything other than targeted snooping of hog-tied users' data with the sole purpose of making money. And thanks, but no thanks - I've been around long enough to recognize a phishing attempt whether it's in a mail or on a site. It's not exactly rocket science, is it...
The only difference between spam and "targeted advertising" is that spam tries to sell snake-oil or fakes and a site visit would likely attempt to infect Windows with something nasty, and "targeted advertising" tries to sell something legal from a trusted site.
Curiously, while it's well accepted that addresses used for spam are gathered by underhand or nefarious hoovering techniques, we're expected to accept that because Phorm announce it would hoover details sufficient to achieve exactly the same thing as spam (unsolicited information) - it's now supposed to be a Good Thing.
In either case any advertising received is still going to be an unrequested, hit-n-miss opportunistic attempt at getting me to part with my money.
Has your shifty foreign neighbour got 16 mobes?
@But what else can you do?
> What else could you do to actually find the people who are acting suspiciously from those that are doing something innocent
Nothing; absolutely nothing - or at at least not without making someone innocent suffer at the hands of our overzealous secret plods. Ask David Mery. Unfortunately you won't be able to ask Jean-Charles Demenez. In any case, your definition of "suspicious" is likely very different to mine which makes the whole "shop a suspect today!" thing even more stupid.
> when you're faced with people who are willing to lay down their lives (...) what else can you do but become vigiliant to the point of paranoia.
Ignore them. Why on earth would anyone want to become voluntarily paranoid, FFS? The logical extension to this so-called vigilance is to have everyone *else* on the train/plane taken out and strip-searched because I'm only certain *I* won't be the one with the bomb.
Most spam comes from just six botnets
> trying to connect to the machines 65k sockets and if you get an answer test if it's a botnet socket.
Connect how? And get an answer to what, exactly - there are plenty of valid things a machine could be doing which require an open socket or two. How would any of this differentiate between 'good' and 'bad' (botnet) machines? How would this work with a machine which is part of a Windows botnet located behind a firewall running on a different OS?
> Can *this* be done smarter?
Yes. Fix the damned OS responsible for making it so easy to create botnets.
> This [various functionality-limiting proposals] is fairly easy to implement for ISPs, yet they choose not to do it.
The problem exists at the scale it's reached because the "world's most 'popular' OS" is very easily compromised and is very poorly supported. This is not something ISPs should have to deal with, so they don't - and your 'solutions' are typical of those viewing all aspects of a problem as a single nail in that there's only one tool available: a large hammer.
Perhaps it would prove more beneficial to complain to the manufacturer of the OS responsible, *demanding* that they drop the BS & face-saving spin and take responsibility for the mess they've created - and continue to assist with so-called "ease of use" and silly sugar-coated GUIs, all implemented at the expense of effective operation and system security.
@George Schultz
> OK so maybe they [Linux/Unix] don't spam but they do seem to host an awful lot of phishers.
Well which is it? And who are "they" and what's "an awful lot"? And is the phishing stuff merely coming through a *nix box or is it actually being generated by one? There's a huge difference. I wonder how any of this, if it's actually real, compares to the *thousands* of Windows botnets?
> Often the duffus running the system (often for BANKS!) would not have changed a root password - and most often in was a UNIX system.
Hmm - "often" followed by another two, and all sounding rather like vague meanderings masquerading as fact. Convincing... But this assertion doesn't really make much sense because there is no default root password, and one Unix/Linux installation isn't necessarily anything like another installation. In any case if a system *had* been compromised then the root password would be irrelevant - changed or not.
> So, come on ISP's.....you'll be doing us all a favour if you stop this stuff coming via your systems...
This is rather like expecting the electricity company to do something about crap programs on TV. Just because spam comes via the pipes provided by an ISP doesn't make it something they should take control of - it's your machine, your OS, your inbox - so why not do yourself a favour and take control of it?
Microsoft cuts Vista price
@Dick Emery
> You WILL have to install it (Or have a PC with it preinstalled) at some stage in the future.
Pfft - oh no I won't. I dumped Microsoft's crap years ago and haven't looked back since.
It's revealing that the only thing you raised as the 'must have' reason for Vista is games. Well, great; that's just what people with more serious needs require from an OS - that it's good at games. Duh.
> Now XP is the new standard. Inevitably, Vista will be the next one.
Sadly, that's probably going to turn out to be the case - Microsoft knows no other way of operating. But isn't it incredibly wrong (not to mention incredibly damaging) that it will become a 'standard' not because of any real improvement, merit, user desire, discussion or comparison - but just because Microsoft will make *certain* it becomes a 'standard' by muscle-flexing alone. No-one ever chooses to purchase a machine because it has Windows installed - that decision is already made.
How Phorm plans to tap your internet connection
@Charity Worker
> Is it possible that this system will allow BT to see (...) email addresses of vulnerable children (...) and other highly confidential data?
Even without this system BT or any other ISP would be able to look at or monitor your web connections if it was so minded - an ISP is always the 'middle man' in *all* your net traffic. Obviously snooping this would make a mockery of any ethical or privacy considerations but with BT linking up with Phorm, it apparently now thinks this sort of tomfoolery is a Good Thing.
Nokia starts tagging photos
@Oh please!
> I just wish REAL cameras had it. [GPS coordinate logging in images]
The Nikon D3 has it once a bolt-on is er, bolted on. Unfortunately this stuff tends to come only at REAL (read as: eye-watering) prices...
I've written software which will incorporate GPS coordinates into the image file's EXIF data area. It relies on the output from a GPS data logger (< £100, about the size of a small mobile: http://gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=9863) which I switch on when starting a roaming photography session. It's relatively easy to then have software match (+/- a fiddle factor) the existing date/time fields in an image's EXIF data with the date/time/location fields in the output file from the data logger and extract the coordinates.

Broadband big boys waiting on data pimping

@Andrew Willett
> Microsoft should not have to pander to every single request from any competitor wanting a slice of their market share
Quite - but that's not what this is about at all.
It's about a company holding a monopoly on a desktop OS which is being deliberately skewed against competition by not fairly documenting certain protocols/procedures (nothing whatever to do with 'giving away code') which would allow fair - or indeed, any - competition.
While there's nothing wrong with a monopoly, as such, there's *plenty* wrong with one which actively works to make life difficult/impossible for any would-be competition.
This is known elsewhere as 'dictatorship' - perhaps that makes it a little clearer for you...
BT pimped customer web data to advertisers last summer
@BT Wholesale + LLU
> does it include BT Wholesale customers (...) broadband is supplied by resellers.
Unlikely, I would hope, since BT would be treading all over their agreement with the reseller and that should certainly raise interesting legal issues (beyond those already raised!). Since this seems so far to be BT acting directly as the ISP (plus some resellers who have decided to play along), I think it would only affect BT customers who pay BT directly as their ISP. Unfortunately, more resellers may also join in after being approached by BT.

And how unlike that other example at Stockwell of being "inconvenienced" through similar bogus data. That man got "inconvenienced" for ever and this one could easily have ended in the same way.

It seems pretty clear to me - he was questioned then released without charge by the UK police, but then banged up (several years ago - still no charge though) by request of the USA - where his alleged associates have already been questioned and released without charge. These requests from the USA are terribly convenient for them because no supporting evidence needs to be provided for our lame puppets to validate - they just meekly obey.

EU investigates Microsoft's OOXML campaign

> lightweight format that doesn't even come close to handling everything Office 2007 needs to store.
It's hardly lightweight, but no one system could handle absolutely everything in one go - which of course is why ODF has several mechanisms to allow for extensions that *would* handle manufacturers' specific requirements.
> See the Burton Group report for more info.
Discredited as utter tosh - see article published by ElReg within the last couple of months, IIRC.
> Microsoft spend a fortune designing an open, interoperable format
Open??!! Interoperable??!! Oh puleeze, that has to be a joke - or wait; maybe you can provide us with an answer to one thing Microsoft somehow 'forgot' to define (amongst *many* others) in their "standard" - which is supposed to contain everything anyone would need to implement it, including competitors. So - what does "autoSpaceLikeWord95" actually *mean*?
Surely with your gushing support for OOXML you'll know exactly what that refers to and astonishingly, you'll be able to implement the unimplementable. Maybe you can also help out with defining all the other proprietary crap included in Microsoft's "open standard" and who knows - with *another* 6,000 pages it may even become open and interoperable. Huh, fat chance. This is Microsoft...
> submit it to the independent standards groups for ratification
Along with certain er, 'assistance' to people who previously showed no interest in ISO ratification just to er, 'help' them make the 'right decision' and give OOXML the nod-through without a considered reading or thought for the *mess* they'd be passing.
In other words, Microsoft simply attempted to do what it normally does everywhere else: coerce users into adopting its proprietary technology at the cost of interoperability with *real* open standards.

It's not an ID card, as such, which most people are objecting to - we already carry plenty of stuff which would identify us. It's the shifting, unfounded and rather silly reasons "why" we need one (AKA "lies") and the insidious purposes behind the accompanying ID & DNA database which causes the worry. Well it worries the crap out of me, anyway. The criminally poor record of just about *any* aspect of IT involving the government doesn't exactly add confidence either.

Kuwait agrees to airline worker demands after strike
KUWAIT CITY (AP) – Kuwait says it plans to meet pay hike demands of Kuwait Airways workers after a strike grounded flights.
Sponsored Links
The official Kuwait News Agency quoted on Tuesday the acting communications minister, Saleh al-Athaina, as saying the pay increases would be approved within a month. The Kuwaiti media reported the pay boosts could reach 30%.
It was the latest concession by Kuwait during a wave of strikes for better salaries and benefits in the oil-rich Gulf nation.
On Monday, about half the flights by Kuwait's state airline were canceled or delayed as workers stayed off the job. Normal service was reported Tuesday.
A strike by customs workers earlier this month threatened to disrupt oil supplies in the OPEC nation.

Hospice organization merged into MWHC
An organization that has provided hospice services in the Fredericksburg area for more than 30 years has been merged into an arm of Mary Washington Healthcare.
Earlier this month Hospice Support Care closed and transferred its clients and services to Mary Washington Hospice, according to a Thursday announcement from MWHC.
Hospice Support Care and Mary Washington Hospice have partnered for two decades on hospice and grief-support services, according to the announcement, making Mary Washington a "logical choice" to assume the organization's caseload.
Mary Washington Hospice will continue to run the children and teen bereavement services that Hospice Support Care started in recent years, as well as the Harbor House Bereavement and Training Center on Washington Avenue in Fredericksburg. That facility's outdoor "Healing Garden" will be maintained.
Local attorneys Paul Simpson and Landon Davis, as well as the Quarles family, played an important role in the transfer, according to the announcement.
