ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays have agreed to terms on a minor league deal with veteran outfielder Brad Hawpe.
Hawpe was released earlier this month by Colorado. He'll report to Class-A Charlotte of the Florida State League.
Hawpe was one of the cornerstones on the Rockies' 2007 NL championship team and a first-time All-Star last season. He hit .255 with seven homers and 37 RBIs this season with Colorado.
The move was announced before Tampa Bay's game Friday night against Boston.

As previously reported by Adweek, the Style network is getting... well, not a facelift, but certainly the network equivalent of microdermabrasion. The DIY-ish fashion cable net will start to feature more narrative-focused programming and reality shows about big personalities and high price tags.

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 18, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Too many Americans lack access to preventive dental care, a new study reports, and large differences exist among racial and ethnic groups.
For the study, researchers analyzed telephone survey data collected from nearly 650,000 middle-aged and older adults between 1999 and 2008. The investigators found that the number who received preventive dental care increased during that time.
However, 23 percent to 43 percent of Americans did not receive preventive dental care in 2008, depending on race or ethnicity. Rates of preventive care were 77 percent for Asian Americans, 76 percent for whites, 62 percent for Hispanics and Native Americans, and 57 percent for blacks, the results showed.
The study was published online Dec. 17 in the journal Frontiers in Public Health.
Factors such as income, education and having health insurance explained the differences in access to preventive dental care among whites and other racial groups except blacks, according to a journal news release.
The lower rate of preventive dental care among blacks may be due to a lack of awareness about dental health and dental care services, and to an inadequate number of culturally competent dental care professionals, suggested Bei Wu, a professor and director for international research at Duke University's School of Nursing, and colleagues.
Many Native Americans who live on reservations don't receive proper dental care, partly because too few dental care professionals choose to work for the Indian Health Services, the researchers pointed out in the news release.
The investigators also found that people with health insurance were 138 percent more likely to receive preventive dental care than those without insurance. Women were one-third more likely to get preventive dental care than men.
Smokers were also less likely to receive preventive dental care, which is of particular concern because tobacco use is a threat to oral health, the researchers noted.
The findings demonstrate the need to develop public dental health programs that target middle-aged and older Americans, improve access to dental care, and create a dental workforce that is culturally competent, the study authors said.

initial public offering,
Michael Cowden
CHICAGO Constellium N.V. expects to price company shares May 22 in an estimated $400-million initial public offering (IPO), according to a company presentation.
Another indication that an IPO is imminent comes from a form F-1 registration statement filed May 17 by Constellium Holdco BV with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that indicated a public sale would begin "as soon as practicable" after the registration statement is filed.
The shares, expected to be in a range of $17 to $19 apiece, are expected to be listed under the ticker symbol "CSTM" on the New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Euronext Paris, the Constellium presentation indicated.
Dutch holding firm Constellium Holdco expects to net approximately $180 million from the initial public offering, according to a previous SEC filing (amm.com, May 13). Constellium is expected to be converted to a Dutch public limited liability company and renamed Constellium NV before the offering is completed.
Constellium has three operating segments: aerospace and transportation, packaging and automotive rolled products, and automotive structures and industry (amm.com, April 11). It expects to benefit from lightweighting in the automotive sector and strong customer backlogs in the aerospace sector.
After the offering and a private sale, Constellium expects public shareholders will hold 22.1 percent of ordinary shares; New York-based Apollo Global Management LLC, 34 percent; London-based Rio Tinto Plc, 26 percent, Paris-based Fonds Stratégique dInvestissement SA, 12.5 percent; and Frankfurt-based Omega Management GmbH & Co. KG, 5.4 percent, according to SEC documents.
Constellium makes specialty rolled and extruded aluminum products primarily for the aerospace, packaging and automotive markets, according to the registration statement filed with the SEC. It operates 26 production facilities worldwide and employs about 8,845 people, the company said.

Wayne Rooney Gets Dumbest Red Card Ever
Manchester United are taking on West Ham today, and after captain Rooney and striker Robin van Persie goals put United up two after just 22 minutes, West Ham pulled one back eight minutes before half. In the second half, the visitors settled in and began to dominate play. We've seen this movie before. »

Another professional could testify about the suspect's mental condition or treatment regimen in court later.

Electronic Architecture
Considerable interest has been generated on the subject of variable acoustics probably due to the proliferation of multi-purpose auditoria over the past ten years which, if they are to be truly multi-purpose, must by definition also be multi-acoustic. The subject would fill a respectable size book and as such cannot be adequately served in a single short presentation, inevitably some aspects will get left out and most will be treated with indecent haste; and because of the emotive nature and obvious commercial potential of the concept it is important to direct criticism fairly and with any necessary attendant qualifications. Although this paper is concerned with the problems and difficulties in introducing, by a means other than architecture, reverberation into performing arts and other spaces, the term electronic architecture also often involves the introduction of reflection and wave fronts, thereby providing a compete acoustical field. This particular topic has, over the past twenty years, been widely publicized and to avoid unnecessary duplication the historical and reverberation time references have been reduced to a minimum.

Microsoft tells resellers to use Office 365 as loss leader
A large steaming pile of horse manure from Microsoft
Why on earth would I ever sell Office 365 at break-even, let alone at a loss? Man needs to put food on table, and shoes on children.
Lawyers mobilise angry mob against Apple over alleged 2011 Macbook Pro crapness
3% or less - the class action against Gateway long ago
Gateway advertised several models of 486 systems as "Pentium Ready", because Intel had designed a Pentium "Overdrive" CPU with a Socket 3 pinout, a superset of the pin signals used by a plain old 486. Lo and behold, Micronics built oodles of motherboards for Gateway and somehow missed out an an important design detail. These Socket 3 Pentium OverDrives would work well only in a motherboard that had a write-through external cache, but the processor itself had a more aggressive and less stable internal write-back cache. This was back in the day when CPUs did not have much built-in cache memory, and motherboards were populated with cache chips manually inserted into sockets. So put a Pentium OverDrive into a Micronics/Gateway motherboard, and the system would turn into a slug. Back in these early days, bus-mastering controllers like SCSI host adapters would not work well with a write-back cache either.
So a lot of people bought these Pentium OverDrive CPUs, installed them, and then the complaints began. It mushroomed into a class action lawsuit presided over and encouraged by some Philadelphia lawyers. Well, the lawyers got rich and members of the class action lawsuit got $50 discount coupons to buy the Pentium OverDrive that did not work. The judge who approved this settlement must have been about as ignorant of computers as can be possible.
This was really Intel's fault. Motherboard manufacturers received Pentium Overdrive prototype chips with the more sensible write-through cache, so that's what drove the motherboard designs. Some bright bulb at Intel changed the design to use the marginally faster (we're talking <1%) write-back cache.
Fixing the write-back cache problem was simple. Intel made an "interposer", a thin circuit board inserted between the socket and the CPU. The job of the interposer was to force the CPU to boot up and run with a write-through cache. So they say. In my years of dealing with 486's, Pentium OverDrives and 486-workalikes from AMD and Cyrix, I never saw an actual interposer. I sold a few hundred kits with very fast AMD 486-like chips to disgruntled Gateway customers.
If the members of the lastest Apple class action lawsuit are lucky, the settlement may be a generous one like a discount coupon for last year's iPhones sitting in an Apple warehouse unsold.

Re: Shutdown is by default a mix between shutdown and hibernate
As someone who services computers, it irks me no end when somebody brings me a laptop that is not completely shut down. Wastes my time.
As for "fast start", I do not know why years ago Windows simply did not write out a hibernation image to be used to restart the computer again when powered up. And then, if the hardware has somehow changed, Windows could simply poll the added hardware installing drivers along the way. But, then, my thinking is way too simplistic for the Redmond geniuses. Whatever they could do to complicate Windows on the inside, they have done. And it finally caught up with them with the dreadful Windows 8.
Oracle's Larry Ellison quits as CEO – new bosses are Hurd'n'Catz

China: You, Microsoft. Office-Windows 'compatibility'. You have 20 days to explain
It's not just Office and Windows
Microsoft has built a large intertwined software ecosystem that works best (and ONLY!) with Windows. Not only is there Office (in all of its flavors), but also SharePoint and all the little bits of software that lock you into the Microsoft way. All that Active X, DOT NET and Sliverlight stuff gets the unwitting company who uses it tied very tightly to the rest of the Microsoft products and their corrupted version of a web browser.
Then you get to the bizarre restrictions about running older apps on newer operating systems, and newer apps on older operating systems.
Stir in the unceremoniously dropped XP (except for "point of sale" and banking ATMs), and one can easily conclude that Microsoft is jerking all of us around.
IoT: Industry snakeoil or one-way ticket to fame and riches?
Help me sell security of the IoT
I'm a reseller of computer gear. So now we'll have all those wonderful things on the internet. Help me sell security of the IoT. Is somebody going to hack my refrigerator and force it to defrost, spoiling the contents? Can hackers get into my Android-controlled home heating system and goose the termperature in the house up to 90 F or 32 C, depending on your side of the pond. I'm scared scheytless, because nobody is talking about security for all this stuff, only how wonderful our lives will be. Bullshit! ... Ben Myers
'Things' on the Internet-of-things have 25 vulnerabilities apiece
IoT with Windows? I hope not!
Geez, and probably few of them are running Windows! But we really need these IoT things. So they tell us.
Many years ago, legendary blowhard computer columnist and pundit John Dvorak had some words of wisdom about what to computerize and what not to computerize. The quickest summary is to say why use Quicken if you only write two checks a month. Why use a computer when something else really simple will do just fine. Seems to me his thinking applies to IoT, too. As we are all seeing with our computers and tablets, care and feeding of these devices takes a lot of time to download all the Microsoft updates (and reboot, and update again), backing up files to the cloud, applying the latest anti-virus updates and so forth. And where is the time left to actually be productive?
Now these dolts selling us IoT things want us to believe that they will make our lives so much easier, turning on the air conditioner 12 hrs before we arrive home from vacation, emailing an order to the milkman when we are low on milk, unlocking the front door to the house with app while still in the car because it is raining cats and dogs, and taking over many of the other mundane and simple tasks that fill our lives. All we need is to have someone hack our IoT things, get the temperature in the house down to 5 degrees C on a 30 C day, unlock the front door and loot the house. Betcha IoT things will be sold just like Windows with a loud disclaimer absolving the sellers of any responsibility just in case something goes awry. This is something I do not need, and you probably don't either.

They don't call them evangelists for nothing
Microsoft product managers are called evangelists. They do their work just like the religious evangelists, preaching the true Microsoft way, and seeking money. So is Nadella the chief evangelist?

What a pile of stinking horse manure!

UK government officially adopts Open Document Format
OpenXML, another Microsoft oxymoron
Just how open is OpenXML? Well, it's open when Microsoft decides to change it.
Maybe they or a 3rd party will do the Word plugins for ODF, but I am not holding my breath waiting. Expect a lot of the EU govts to follow suit with an ODF standard, if they have not done so already.
Microsoft has made history and made money co-opting software. They did not want to cut a licensing deal with Adobe about Postscript, so they went and bought Postscript clone Bauer and turned it into TrueType. They couldn't stand Sun controlling Java, so they cobbled up their own version, got hammered in the courts for violating their license with Sun, and were forced to exclude Java from IE and Windows. And on and on it goes.
Nadella: Apps must run on ALL WINDOWS – PCs, slabs and mobes
Re: MS arrogance doesn't change
I had similar experiences working for a once-a-hardware-company that wanted to integrate more closely with the early, early Windows, either 2 or 3, later on for a once-thick paper every-two-weeks magazine. Both times, it was the Microsoft way or the highway.
I also went to one of the first Microsoft Windows 1.03 seminars, where the Microsofties droned on and one about their wonderful Windows APIs. The Stevie B himself did a Q&A with the audience of software developers. I had the stones to say that the API was really impressive for what it could do, but where are the programs that generate user interface code, rather than hand-coding it all. Steve blew off the question, saying that this was up to 3rd party developers. In other words, Microsofties hadn't thought of it yet, so it was not worth doing. What an arrogant SOB!
Then they all wonder why no one shows them the love. The high-handed business tactics that made them oodles of cash are now catching up with them.

Why has sexy Apple gone to bed with big boring IBM?
With whom else are they gonna go to bed?
Apple and IBM need each other right now. Apple needs IBM for the iPhone and iPad to become the corporate go-to devices. Exeunt Blackberry stage left. Apple is attractive to IBM because it has been obsessive about controlling just what software goes onto its fondleslabs, which, like all things Mac, don't have as many security gaping security holes as Windows and Android devices. And IBM needs Apple because IBM is not longer in the low-end commodity hardware biz of any kind. Gee, what else is there to say?
EU probe into Apple's taxes: It's NOT to do with double-Dutch-Irish anything sandwiches
Transfer pricing has been around forever
What Apple does is no different than did the multinational where I was employed 30 years ago. Same result, too. Move the profits to the jurisdiction that taxes the least. And you can bet that it is in Apple's best interests to employ international tax experts to help out. Only difference is that the turnover was only $US4B where I worked. Apple is a much bigger target.

Charity: Ta for the free Win 8.1, Microsoft – we'll use it to install Win 7

Yep, ClassicShell relieves stress, but Windows 8.1 and your privacy?
Yep, ClassicShell relieves stress. I've installed it a number of times for people who then feel a lot better about using a computer with a more familiar user interface.
But Windows 8.1 and your privacy? Hah! Do a Windows 8.1 upgrade, and while you are finishing up, it asks you to set some settings. You have a choice, Express or no. I picked no, walked through the settings and imagined my blood pressure sky-rocketing as I saw Microsoft ask for various settings to be "On". Like monitoring your location? And other choice tidbits that could be shared with anyone. Read the Win 8.1 license agreement, which Microsoft can change at any time, and you are giving away your privacy in return for what? Direct monitoring by the NSA or MI6?
Or is Microsoft simply telling all of us what they have been doing all along? Very unsettling, this privacy thing. Enough for me to think that Windows 7 will be my own very last Microsoft operating system.
As a good friend of mine observed today, think about the frog placed in a pot of water. A happy frog? A content frog, right? Sure. Now turn on the heat to bring the water to a boil. The poor frog remains clueless while being boiled to death. Well, our personal privacy is being eroded away, same as the poor frog's life.

Re: maybe (What about our dependence on fossil fuels)
All this talk about technology that will continue to make our lives easier neglects one key point. All that technology is dependent on fossil fuels, which will only become more and more expensive unless we can figure out how to transmit and use that energy more efficiently. I would propose that fossil fuel may do for our use of gadgets what Malthus theorized about food supply and population growth.
FINALLY Microsoft releases Office for iPad – but wait there's a CATCH
Re: Typical Microsoft (but which one?)
The most serious and real problem here is that the Microsoft ecosystem is betwixt and between enterprise/corporation/office and consumer/gaming/leisure. That's why their products waffle back and forth. First you have Vista which tarts up XP, then you have Windows 7, which makes Vista palatable (and Windows 7 probably should have been a free Vista Service Pack 3, except that Microsoft would then have to forego billions in revenue. Next, we have the leisure-time Metro of Windows 8, followed by (OOPS!) we-gotta-win-back-those-office-folks Windows 8.1. There's no real consistency, because Microsoft lacks that vision thing and a coherent software architecture. Now you add the mad scramble of everyone (Microsoft, Amazon, Google) to offer web services across all manner of devices, and you have a multiplicity of hardware/software that flies in the face of the strategy Microsoft held onto for too long, namely Wintel system. Now Microsoft has to adapt to the rapidly changing interconnected world without sacrificing their Office cash cow. How to turn the Queen Mary, or the Microsoft borg, is the challenge here.
The plot to kill Google cloud: We'll rename Windows Azure to MICROSOFT Azure
When will the next name change be?
From Windows Azure to Microsoft Azure. What's next? Microsoft Teal? Microsoft Red? What is so special about azure? It's part of the atmosphere. Do I store stuff in the atmosphere or in a cloud? This is akin to lipstick on a pig. I guess they are so embarrassed by Windows 8 that it no longer provides the name-branding so important in selling other products and services.
And, oh. Microsoft Azure is already here!
Oh the excitement of it all! My heart is racing!
I bet they spent a $500,000 on all the development and testing to change the name, and the content can still be examined by the NSA and the Chinese equivalent.
Microsoft exec: I don't know HOW our market share sunk
Windows 8 as envisaged by Microsoft is not for doing real work
The Metro interface and its bright and shiny apps are not for people doing real work. Microsoft was misguided by its own hubris, arrogance and imagined invincibility into designing something that has been largely rejected by the business world. They actually thought that people would run right out and buy a lot of Windows 8 computers. Even with a touch screen, which 90+% of the computers in the world lack, I am not how how productive one could be trying to do real work with Win 8. Microsoft was able to recover from the earlier debacles of Windows ME and Windows Vista, largely because the world of computing was a little smaller back then and because tablets, smartphones and other fondleslabs had not yet made serious inroads into our mindshare. I have real trouble even imagining how (and if?) Microsoft will recover from this self-inflicted wound of Windows 8. Probably in a way that Malcolm Gladwell did not imagine when he wrote the book, Win 8 might be the tipping point for Microsoft. Of course, the large amount of ill will felt toward Microsoft by all manner of folk does not help the Redmond borg either.

Crap hospital databases next goldmine for cyber-crooks, say Microsoft's botnet slayers
Re: A protected mess
Well, with any luck, the US Congress will clean the wads of medical industry dollars out of its pockets, realize what a serious issue medical security it is, and ram some medical security legislation up the backsides of all the medical folk. The medical industry has almost forever been way back at the training edge of computer technology. I've often marveled at visiting a doctor's office and seeing rows and rows of 6-foot high cabinets crammed with paper medical records. Is it any wonder the US medical system is so god-damned inefficient? Pathetic! The security issue will bite them all in the arse big-time, and the hew and cry over theft of medical and personal data from medical computer systems will motivate Congress.

The UNTOLD SUCCESS of Microsoft: Yes, it's Windows 7
Are the Windows 8 probems insurmountable?
The Microsoft mouthpiece says that 200M Windows 8 systems have been sold. Don't know what it's like on the right side of the pond, but over here on the left side, I would bet that 90% or more of the Windows 8 systems have been sold to unwitting consumers. Go into any big box store like Best Buy, Staples or Walmart, and the only Wintel computers you see are running Windows 8. So what is the garden variety consumer to do when the choice is Windows 8 or Windows 8???
Lenovo did not drink Microsoft's Windows 8 Kool-Aid and continued to sell Windows 7 systems. Look where it has gotten them? They are numero uno in sales of Wintel computers, no thanks to Micro$oft. Only belatedly did Dell, before Michael's privatization, offer Windows 7 systems in its mailers.
So let's face it Microsoft. Windows 8 is a consumer system, because you have shoved it down the collective throat of the public.
I continue to encounter only consumers, not businesses, with Windows 8 systems, and my knee-jerk reaction is to install ClassicShell to make Windows look more like XP or 7, not the damnable and inscrutable Metro tiles. Everyone whose system now has ClassicShell thinks it is an improvement.
What is also pretty atrocious about Windows 8, and something about which few pundits have commented, is that just about every Metro app forces you to sign up on the Microsoft mother borg ship as a prerequsite to using the app, so they can get their hands on your privates. And people have said that the US NSA is bad? Hah! Nothing compared to Microsoft. Maybe Microsoft taught the NSA a thing or two. Wouldn't be surprised.
As another posting suggested, most Linux distros offer various possibilities for customization of the graphical user interface, so you set it up the way you like it. This is not rocket-science, but simply treating customers with respect, something Microsoft does not know how to do after 30+ years in business. So Windows 8 and the lack of respect for customers (and OEMs!) is biting Microsoft in the ass.

Why IBM's server sell-off is a lightbulb moment
Re: How did Lenovo do it?
My thinking is similar. I recommend Lenovo and Dell (believe it or not) BUSINESS-class laptops. In other words, Lenovo Thinkpads and Dell Latitudes. Every company in the computer box business, including Dell and Lenovo, treats consumers like crap, and sells poorly made and unmaintainable crap to consumers. But sell a business 5000 pieces of crap, and Michael Dell, Meg Whitman, Ginny Rometty or any other computer CEO will get a call from the CEO of the business, saying that 5000 pieces of crap are sitting on a loading dock to be returned to the manufacturer. This is only a long-winded and eloquent way of saying that computer mfrs cannot afford to sell poorly designed equipment to large corporations, govts and NGOs. So you buy a Lenovo Thinkpad or Dell Latitude and rest easy. I still like black Lenovo Thinkpads best, because black goes well with anything and it is easy to accessorize.
Re: Avoid the commodity
Funny you should mention "word-processing on a 15-20 year old machine." Recently, someone gave me an old computer as part of a housecleaning. It is a DEC HiNote laptop with small screen, 75Mhz 486, 20MB of memory (that's MEGAbytes!), 504MB hard drive (another mega), Window 95 and Office 7. It is running order and I tried it out. Slow it is not. Office 7 runs just fine. But there is no eye-candy. I did not try to print with it, and yeah, printing might be slow. And maybe it is not so good at integrating graphics and photos into documents. Compared to the computer I am using right now, it has 1/30 the processor speed, 1/200 of the memory, and 1/100 of the hard drive space. Just goes to show how much bloat Microsoft has dumped on us all.
Private pain: Dell layoff bloodbath to hit over 15,000 staffers – insiders
Re: Windows 8 strikes again...
Dell learned too late from Lenovo's Windows 7 playbook. Lenovo made (makes it) oh-so-easy to get a Windows 7 computer, whilst nearly all of Dell's glossy promotions pushed Windows 8, Windows 8, Windows 8, until recently. Last week's Dell ad in the mail showcased Windows 7 as well. Dell can blame itself for drinking the poisoned Microsoft Windows 8 Kool-Aid. Microsoft can blame itself, shooting off one toe after another.
Toshiba upheaval continues as firm scraps EU country managers
Quality products are important, too
Yes, Toshiba can rearrange the deck chairs all it wants. I can't speak for other Toshiba electronics (maybe that is a problem, too), but Toshiba has long been at or near the bottom of my lists for hard drives and laptops. Hard drives, because their laptop drives fail way more than others and because you can't trust the SMART data giving the health of a Toshiba hard drive. And Toshiba laptops are intricately designed, difficult to service, with both spare parts and service manuals being in short supply.
Lenovo and IBM's System x biz: It'll be just like 2005's PC buyout
Crappy Thinkpads? Gimme a break!!!!
I have little or no experience with Lenovo desktops, which don't show up much around here. And I can't speak much for non-Thinkpad laptops, of which I see very few.
But the Thinkpads have remained durable, reliable, well-made laptops under Lenovo ownership. Also easy to repair, find spare parts, find repair manuals. Right now, Thinkpads are my favorite. I resell a few, refurbish a few, and recommend to people who want to buy direct or from a bigger reseller. Dell is in second place, but Dell's track record is now marred by some godawful design decisions, resulting in laptops difficult to repair, as difficult as HPaq, Toshiba and Sony... Ben Myers
Yes, HP will still sue you if you make cartridges for its inkjet printers
Why buy HP inkjet printers?
These lawsuits and their outcomes simply allow HP to have a special inkjet printer accessory that attaches itself to your credit card for regular payments. I have customers who have bought the latest greatest HP all-in-one printers and they complain about how often they need to buy inkjet cartridges, how few pages each cartridge prints, and how expensive the damned cartridges are.
How about a class action lawsuit against HP for gouging the owners of its inkjet printers, maybe possibly providing inaccurate information about how many pages each cartridge prints, and making even expensive printers out of cheap flimsy plastic.
I do not sell inkjet printers, only giving advice to people who might listen. I do not sell inkjet printers because many of the manufacturers follow HP's lead: not much ink for a lot of money.
Oh, yes, the networking part of these HP all-in-one printer-scanner-copier devices that does everything except cure warts and shine your shoes. The networking part of the setup forces use of a DHCP-assigned IP address, never giving someone with a modicum of intelligence the opportunity to assign a printer its fixed IP address, like most of us here in the real world.

A lot of bias in this opinion
Mr. Fosse has a lot of bias here. The more he can push people to the cloud, the better it is for EMC and its cloud services and hardware to support the cloud.
But what about office work?
If office work needs a keyboard, as with document preparation, spreadsheet jockeying, creating PowerPoint and other artsy-fartsy materials, the only choice remains a Wintel or Apple-tel desktop or laptop with a real keyboard. Yes, it may run software from the cloud, but I am having serious difficulty imagining how a tablet computer can do this sort of work. Somebody help me understand.
It was inevitable: Lenovo stumps up $2.3bn for IBM System x server biz
Re: Time to shine :)
One other issue. IBM remains top-heavy with corporate overhead. The only way to support it is with lucrative high-end products and services. Well, Thinkpads and desktops weren't lucrative enough for IBM, due to the severe pressures of a commodity market. Low-end servers fall in behind.
Re: Privacy concerns
Agreed! Why cobble up a BIOS with spyware that can easily be detected. But paranoia reigns in governments, along with lots of other irrational thinking.
You called it right.
Unlike other pundits who blabbed about Dell buying the IBM low-end server biz, the Inquirer got the prediction absolutely right, and exactly the way I saw it going. Dell buying IBM server biz had a snowball's chance in hell... Ben
Office 365 Microsoft's fastest growing business, ever - Microsoft
Selling Microsoft only out of necessity
In the past, I "sold" copies of Office 2000-whatever to my clients at near-zero margin. Why? Because it was necessary to get a sale. Why? Because they could buy it in the store at almost exactly the price I paid my distributor and install it themselves. But maybe they didn't want to be bothered to install it themselves, so they threw a few bucks my way to do the install. Then along comes Office 2013. Whether I buy from a disty or from a store, I get the same piece of paper the customer gets, with a product key and the privilege of wasting my time to go through lots of on-line crap to finally download the damnable thing and install it. And where is my incentive to "sell, sell, sell" Office 365? The customer goes on line, signs up, gives in credit card info and is off and away with Office 365. If somehow I get involved in selling it, Microsoft compensates me handsomely with the usual pigeon droppings. So now, if someone wants Office 365, they can buy and install or they can pay be a very good markup for my time to do the job. The bottom line here is that Microsoft continues to not offer resellers any incentive whatsoever to sell their product, and the only money that can be made is from the client for installing and maybe customizing Office 365 a bit. Now if I could get Microsoft product at a 30-40 discount from list, I would think differently. But right now, I am just as open to selling LibreOffice to my clients.
Acer writes off MEELLIONS again, scraps raw materials
Acer does not do itself many favors
Acer does not do itself many favors by continuing to produce three product lines with three brand names and three distinct images: Gateway once sold quality products. eMachines have generally been pretty awful and cheap. And the Acer product line itself, which has a confusing and vague image. I think it is merely sheer pride of founder Stan Shih that the company is still named Acer. Had I been in charge, I would have called it "Gateway", to trade on fond memories of many long-time Gateway owners. But there is no reason to bring back the cheesy Gateway cow motif.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Hillsboro Primary is a wonderful school. It is super organized and my daughter loves going to school everyday. I have nothing but great things to say about the administration, teachers and curriculum. I would not want my children to go to any other school.
I have two children attending this school. My interactions with the school and the teachers has not always been beneficial to either side. The teachers are not organized and assign too much homework for kindergarten through second grade. My children were told by their teachers that they should work only 15 to 30 minutes a night on their homework when in reality it took an hour to an hour and a half to complete the assignments. And directions were not always clear. I needed an appointment book to keep track of what was due and when. Also, the school misplaced my youngest son on the first day of school by placing him on the wrong bus. When confronted about it, the situation was turned around on me as if I had done something wrong. I was treated as if I had overreacted at the prospect of my son being missing.
I have two children attending and rate this school top notch. The principal is obviously concerned about every student, took the time to sit with me and go over the new curriculum, maintains good rapport with the community and the teachers. The entire community is school centered embracing the children and encouraging their development.
Hillsboro Primary is absolutely one of the best schools in the country. The staff are wonderful people who are easy to get along with and who make our children's learning experience fun. The classes that are offered to the children are exceptional. From remedial reading to speech and multi-age to G.A.T.E., every child is given the opportunity to advance and excell at everything they do. I personally am fond of the opportunities that a parent has to volunteer. If you have the time they welcome you with open arms and make you feel right at home. There has never been any concern with safety at this school. Their sign in and sign out policy works very well. Overall this school is a perfect 5 stars. I only wish I could give it more!

Is the Asus better than this HP LV2311 other than HDMI? It's unlikely someone is familiar with both of these monitors, but figured it's worth an ask.
The Asus lists a faster time (2ms vs 5ms), but that doesn't necessarily tell the whole story. The Asus outright states they cover shipping both ways in case of warranty. That's always good to hear.

Pretty good monitor
jacobsta811 ( 88 ) Apr. 16, 2013 at 6:05am
I bought two of these from Amazon a few weeks ago at $15 more after rebate. Some of the cheapest VESA mountable LED monitors I could find, I have them flanking an Achieva Shimian in a triple monitor setup. Decent monitors for TN panels, I had no issues with them and I have one in portrait mode and it is pretty decent - not quite as good as an IPS but much better than an older TN I tried in portrait. Sharpness/Text on these is much better out of the box than the HP monitors I have tried - I have two HP 2311x on another computer and the text on these is better than those with sharpness all the way up. Otherwise pretty comparable panels except these have VESA and a good number of HP don't.

Montreal police are investigating a possible hate crime in which a Jewish man was punched in the face in Snowdon on Monday.
The alleged assault is just one of seven reported cases of anti-Semitism in Montreal since last weekend, a direct effect of growing tensions arising from increased violence between Israel and Gaza.
A French tourist, the man, who does not want to be identified because he fears for his safety, said he was walking out of a kosher restaurant on Queen Mary Rd Monday, talking to his sister about Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, when two men approached them in front of the Pharmaprix drug store.

Members of a Surrey temple are putting their place of worship back together after vandals shattered their windows with a baseball bat.
Security cameras rolled as two men, each with bats in hand, walked toward the Lakshmi Narayan Temple on 140th Street sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Shortly after, a cloud of dust – presumably from a smashed window below – floats into the air before the men are seen disappearing into the night. Continue reading

A Hungarian neo-Nazi's threat to democratically minded Hungarians abroad
August 17, 2012
A couple of days ago Christopher Adam, editor-in-chief of Kanadai Magyar Hírlap, received a letter signed by Gábor Barcsa-Turner. Barcsa-Turner is deputy chairman of Hatvannégy Vármegye Ifjúsági Mozgalom (HVIM) or, in English, Youth Movement of Sixty-four Counties, an allusion to the number of counties in Hungary prior to 1920.
Never come back here! You are right: the neo-Nazis and fascists will hang you here for your disgusting articles. Here we are the masters, here we rampage and hate. We are racists and behave as anti-Semites, we hate everybody, but most of all, we hate you!
Please tell your comrades still in Hungary that life became unlivable because of the burgeoning nazism and invite Péter Dániel and Gyurcsány and all the other lice to leave the country.
Forget our language; after all, only fascists and "deep-Magyars" speak it!
Don't use the adjective "Hungarian," because that is the synonym of Hungarist, Arrow Cross, ultra-right riff-raff who are busily building the Fourth Reich. Don't call yourselves Hungarians because everybody will think you are fascists.
You can be Canadians, Americans, and Europeans, whatever you want, but nothing should cross your lips connected to Hungarians.
And yes: I am an anti-Semite, if you call antisemitism telling the truth. I am a fascist if you criticize my law and order stance. I am a Nazi because I don't share the official dogma about the Second World War. I am a Hungarist when you besmirch Hungary's heroic stand in the Second World War. I yearn for the White Terror every time that you praise Endre Ságvári! My ideal becomes Gyula Ostenburg-Morawek and his detachment, and I would be glad to be the murderer of Somogyi and Bacsó, a pair of scribblers!
I am a racist when you defend the Gypsies and turn your eyes away from the terrorized weak and elderly. I am always the one whom you vilify: an anti-Semite, a racist, a fascist, Hungarist, a member of a detachment and I could go on. I belong to the extreme right without any tolerance toward the left.
I'm the one you have to deal with. And believe me, there are a lot of us here. Don't ever come back! Stay abroad and die homeless, or while extolling the state of Israel, but let no more words about anything Hungarian pass your lips.
Gábor T. Barcsa
HVIM is closely allied with Jobbik. The chairman of the movement is György Gyula Zagyva, a Jobbik member of parliament. Another prominent leader of HVIM is László Toroczkai Tóth, who is a Jobbik member of the Council of Csongrád County.
As for Barcsa-Turner, he is the editor of the extremist Szent Korona Rádió that is, despite its name, not a radio station but an Internet website.

Islamic street preacher runs website with links to writers known for hate speech

TORONTO – An Islamic street preacher who says Western women should be forced to "cover themselves" runs an outreach website containing links to essays by controversial Muslim writers, including one banned from several countries and another who has advocated holy war on non-Muslims.
Al-Haashim Kamena Atangana, an Islamic convert who wrote a letter to the Toronto Sun last week saying that Canadian laws should be changed to ban women from dressing provocatively as a way of protecting them from sexual assault, said he started the modest-looking, homespun site — the Muslim Support Network — a few months ago as a way of "(calling) people to Islam."

Sony is going practical, not pretty, in wearable tech with two new wristputers launched at IFA 2014.
Both Motorola and LG are working hard on circular smartwatches with the Moto 360 and LG G Watch R both set for full reveals this week. But Sony's SmartWatch 3, its first device to run Google's new Android Wear OS, and the simpler, cheaper SmartBand Talk are taking a punt on useful features over analogue styling.
Its so-called "Smart Wear" comes with swappable bands, reasonable prices and Sony extras such as its new cross-platform tracking app Lifelog. But is it enough to gain a permanent spot on our wrists?
Wear Gets Practical - GPS & Walkman app
Square of screen and sporty looking, the SmartWatch 3 doesn't exactly tear up the wearables design rule book.
But that's OK. Available in Classic Black or Sport Lime, the watch core actually pops out of the silicon strap, also in pink and white. It's not designed to do this everyday (two of the prototypes we saw had broken home buttons) more that if you fancy a change after a few months, it can be done. The strap itself has a clasp to keep it in place and though we prefer a standard watch strap as on the G Watch, that's down to personal preference and it does at least feel secure.
This is a big watch with a 1.6in screen and a fair amount of bezel. Essentially if you're moving from a chunky, colourful Swatch it'll be an easier transition than from your fancy Breitling.
There's plenty to love, though. Elsewhere, the SmartWatch 3 is the first Android Wear device with GPS. Completing the killer combo is 4GB of on-board storage and a standalone Walkman app so that the SmartWatch 3 can be paired with Bluetooth headphones to track runs and provide tunes without a smartphone.
Neither was ready for our early play and compatibility with third party fitness apps hasn't been confirmed yet but Sony will hopefully give us more details during IFA. With a price of €229 (no UK price yet), that looks like a very good deal - a TomTom Runner Cardio, for instance, costs £220 and won't even tell you the weather.

No Cradle Needed
It says a lot about the competition when we get all flustered over a microUSB port. After months of losing and finding the G Watch and Gear Live's charging cradles, no wonder we got a bit giddy when we saw that the SmartWatch 3 had kept at least one feature of its predecessor, the otherwise frustrating SmartWatch 2.
It's the first Android Wear watch that you can just stick your smartphone's microUSB cable in. So it's much more likely to be useful on long days out of the office or weekends away.
And all it needed was a neat little flap on the inside of the SmartWatch 3's (admittedly chunky) steel core.
The battery itself is a 420mAh unit which Sony reckons will last two days. With Android Wear's always-on notifications and a bright, sharp 1.6in 320x320 screen, we wouldn't be surprised if it's more comparable to the Gear Live's day and a half battery life. But every half day counts when it comes to smartwatch batteries.

More after the break...
Android Wear + Sony extras
So what does it actually do? As with other Android Wear devices, there's two big functions. The watchface, to show the time, which can be swapped for other designs. And notifications which come through from your smartphone via Bluetooth - phone calls, texts, emails, social media alerts. Anything that appears in your notifications pulldown or as a banner on your Android (4.3+) shows up on the SmartWatch 3's screen. Plus Google Now's genius calendar, search and location based updates when it thinks you need them.
We got to see Facebook and weather alerts in action during our hands on but this is familiar stuff to anyone who has used an LG G Watch or Samsung Gear Live. For more details on what Android Wear watches can do, head to our in-depth review of the OS.
Sony has tweaked Android Wear more than most. As well as the Walkman app, it also adds its Lifelog app, TV Sideview and a remote camera app. Lifelog is designed to let you track the usual fitness metrics - steps, distance, calories - alongside entertainment and media info. What movies you've watched, music you've listened to, games you've played or places you've been. These appear on a timeline which will sync across to your Xperia Z3.
Is Sony gunning to beat Facebook at its own lifelogging game? Its ambitions are probably smaller than that but we'll be keeping an eye on Lifelog to see what Sony does with all that data.
TV Sideview is an app borrowed from Xperia phones that lets you see what's on the box on the SmartWatch 3 with wrist-based remote controls too. And the remote camera app will work with Xperia phones and accessories like Sony's QX10 lens.
So Android Wear is up for grabs, after all, but Sony's done well to keep its tinkering to a minimum. The growing number of third party apps can take care of the rest.

SmartBand Talk
The SmartBand Talk, Sony's €159 wearable e-paper screen on a silicon strap, is a curious beast.
It's not as stylish as a Jawbone UP or as shiny and futuristic as a Samsung Gear Fit. But then again it's not as cheap as some of the other basic smartbands it resembles - like the incoming £80 Acer Liquid Leap.
With a 288x128 e-paper screen that's non touch and an odd mix of features it's stuck somewhere in the middle. The altimeter is great as that means the SmartBand can track when you're going up stairs as well as the usual steps and distance to add to your Lifelog. Auto sleep detect is a nice addition too as on Sony's first SmartBand this mode had to be activated by a button press. IP68 dust and waterproofing is another plus.
And it can talk. Well, you can talk to it. The SmartBand can handle calls, with a mic, speaker, HD Voice tech and a dash of Dick Tracey.
But there's no standalone GPS like the SmartWatch 3. The 70mAh battery will last three days of normal usage, according to Sony, which isn't really good enough considering the screen. And in our hands on time with the admittedly unfinished software, it looked slow and very, very basic indeed.
We're willing to have our minds changed when we test the final device. For now, we're more excited about the affordable, practical, Google Now-powered SmartWatch 3.
