Rocking the living crap out of dance floors across the globe.Mixmag
Despite constant DJ bookings and a high volume of remix and production work for artists such as Dizzee Rascal, Snoop Dogg, Jay Z and Rihanna, in the last 24 months Chase & Status have managed to mastermind their debut album, complete two live tours around the UK and Europe, sign a major record deal with Mercury Records and take their phenomenal LIVE show to huge festivals around the UK and Europe two summers in a row.
Their debut album More Than Alot, released in 2008 on Ram Records, was packed with drum & bass anthems and exciting guest vocalists including Plan B and Kano, that attracted the ear, not just of all within the scene, but those beyond it too.
Their first release for Mercury, a single entitled 'End Credits' featuring Plan B - written for the film Harry Brown starring Michael Caine, charted at Number 9 in the Official UK Top 40. 'Let You Go' featuring Mali, the first single to be taken from their new album, reached number 11 in the Official UK singles chart and they are currently finishing off their second studio album due out next year.

Apple's Out to Kick Google's Maps With Foursquare (Update2)
(Updated from 10:44 a.m. EST to provide comments from Facebook spokeswoman Elisabeth Diana in the seventh paragraph.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- When Apple (AAPL) released its Maps app as part of iOS 6, it was a direct shot at Google (GOOG). But due to the poor product, it never stood a chance. Now, though, it looks like it may actually have a shot.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple is in early talks with Foursquare, the location-sharing app, about a deal to integrate data from Foursquare into Apple's mapping app.
TheStreet's Eric Jackson noted that Apple executive Eddy Cue was using Foursquare's service. Jackson was paying attention to tweets from Cue, who doesn't tweet often. Cue, who took over Apple's Siri and Maps as part of a management shakeup, was in California one day, then New York the next, leading Jackson to speculate that something was up with regard to Apple and Foursquare.When it comes to maps, Google is the 800-pound gorilla in the room because of its widespread use, accurate directions, and vast amounts of useful information and data. Apple had hoped to achieve a similar status with its Apple Maps, but a slew of criticism and mistakes caused Apple to issue an apology, while it works on bettering the application. Google Maps has had the benefit of years of usage, data and information to make it the product it is today. Apple doesn't have the luxury of time, so joint ventures are a good way to compete. By entering more ventures and partnerships ( Urbanspoon, HopStop, perhaps), Apple will be able to better accumulate the data it needs. Apple has integrated information from Yelp (YELP) and Open Table (OPEN) into Apple Maps. By adding Foursquare's local data, it will give Apple more ammunition as it seeks to provide the best mapping tool. Local data is becoming increasingly important as consumers seek to focus on that which is most useful to them. Facebook (FB) announced a feature called Nearby, similar to what Yelp, OpenTable and others offer, as users search for local places. Elisabeth Diana, a Facebook spokeswoman, described the service as a way to actively look for places. "It's a way to search for things nearby based on filters of your friends," she said in an interview. "We believe the best recommendations come from your friends, and that's especially true with local recommendations." Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia believes the feature could benefit Facebook in the long term, eventually helping monetize mobile. It should "incentivize local merchants to update their pages on Facebook, which should help increase engagement," Bhatia wrote in a research report. He also noted that it will enable Facebook to capture more market share in local advertising, as well as a bigger piece of the local e-commerce market. He rates Facebook "buy" with a $32 price target. CEO Tim Cook issued an apology about Apple Maps, and the fiasco ultimately led to the ouster of executive Scott Forstall, who reportedly refused to sign the apology letter to Apple customers. Consumers enjoy using Foursquare, checking into their favorite places, getting recommendations, writing small reviews and potentially earning rewards. But Foursquare has not been able to generate much revenue. A potential deal with Apple could change that, while helping Apple grab the data and information it so desperately needs to make Apple Maps a much improved product. Surpassing Google Maps won't be easy for Apple, but it sure won't be for lack of trying. "Everything we do at Apple is aimed at making our products the best in the world. We know that you expect that from us, and we will keep working non-stop until Maps lives up to the same incredibly high standard," Cook wrote in the apology. You can be sure these kinds of deals are just the first step in that process. Apple could not be immediately reached for comment for this story. Interested in more on Apple?

Roosevelt University Academic, Student Life and Residence Center
Credit: Tom Rossiter Photography
The Wabash Building for Roosevelt University is a 32-story, 420,000-square-foot expansion adjacent and connected to both the existing campus and the landmark Auditorium Building designed by Adler and Sullivan. Located on a small 17,300-square-foot, mid-block site, the new tower expresses Roosevelt University's mission, which is deeply rooted in the principles of Social Justice and the symbolic importance of the Institution, as the central expression of the Burnham Plan for Chicago.
The new "Vertical Campus" is composed of connecting neighborhoods of Student Services, Student Union, academic and student residential environments, which emphasize the "out of class" spaces vital to a University atmosphere. The building form expresses these spaces and represents the transformational nature of the university experience. The grandeur of the classrooms and assembly spaces, with their area and height that connect to views of the City and Burnham Park, create a vertical urban sense of place not typical of tall buildings.

Wind energy has surpassed nuclear power to become the third largest energy source in China. The country's Wind capacity has grown rapidly over the years, and in 2012 China's wind farms generated 100.4 terrawatt hours of electricity. Moreover, as the Earth Policy Institute reports, China's wind capacity has increased by 70 percent more than nuclear power since 2007.
Before March 2011 China had 29 new nuclear reactors under construction. Following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, China announced that all nuclear plant approvals were to be frozen and existing plants reviewed for safety. The moratorium was lifted in October 2012, allowing only the Generation-III nuclear reactor models to go forward. These include improved fuel technology, standardized design for reduced maintenance and are much safer than the existing ones. However, China has no experience with Generation-III reactors, rendering it unlikely for the country to reach the projected 40,000 megawatts of nuclear capacity by 2015.
Wind energy in China now accounts for 5.3 per cent of the country's generating capacity and supplies about 2 percent of its electricity, placing it behind only coal and hydro power. During the last two years, China's wind capacity amounted to 19,000 megawatts of electricity. One obstacle for the development of its wind capacity was the incompatibility of the existing grid with the new energy sources. The country's recent efforts in upgrading the grid have resulted in 75,600 megawatts of wind capacity being fully integrated into the existing grid by the end of 2012.

Date 2006-05-03 Availability unrestricted Abstract
Globalisation is affecting all social sectors, including education in ways that was never thought of before. In South Africa the most changing environment is probably the education sector. Higher education institutions in particular are constantly forging ways to develop the human resource capital for the country despite the shrinking financial resources.
The increased demand for quality education, greater efficiency, accountability and national viability constantly challenge academics such that they can no longer wait for management to provide them with the necessary skills and competences. The times are calling for academics to take initiatives to develop themselves for improved performance in their primary roles and in the education of the learners.
This study was undertaken to determine the changing nature of radiography as a profession and field of specialization, the development needs of radiography educators and the preferred strategies that could be used to develop the necessary skills and competences. A qualitative research design was employed and data collected through the literature review and interviews. Unstructured questions were used in the interviews to obtain an in-depth understanding of the situation.
Challenges faced by academic radiographers in South Africa were explored and new competences required by academe during the time of change explained. Focus was put on the primary functions of academe and that includes teaching, research, community service/service learning and learner supervision strategies that can be used to improve the role of academe were described.
Conclusions and recommendations regarding human resource development of academe were drawn from the literature review and the empirical investigation.

Cue Rumpelstiltskin popping up in Fairy Land as well. He tells Charming that he's there to aid the prince as he searches for Snow in the Infinite Wood -- but that the imp's help will, of course, come with a price. At first, James isn't willing to play Rumpel's game. But soon, he finds that fighting a magically endowed dark creature with nothing but a pair of puny, un-magical blades isn't exactly easy. Finally, the prince acquiesces, and Rump pulls out his glowing vial of Love Potion #9. He needs Charming to help him store the elixir in a safe spot -- like, say, the belly of a beast. Pro tip: Never play Hide and Seek with Rumpelstiltskin.
Emma and Regina trek down to Goldtown, where the shopkeeper instantly senses that Emma's become a believer. He exposits once more that true love is a powerful potion with the ability to break any curse -- and that he imbued the Dark Curse's parchment with a drop of that potion, which is why Emma is the only one who can break it. (She, like the concoction itself, is a product of Snow White and Prince Charming's love.) To end the hex once and for all, Emma will need to retrieve the rest of the potion. And though Gold doesn't explain exactly how she's going to do that, he does say that having her father's sword will help. Now that is a handsome Mother's Day present.
Before she can embark on her quest, Emma has to tie up a few loose ends. She heads back to the hospital, where she apologizes for not believing Henry, then goes to August's room in an attempt to enlist his help. Unfortunately, August isn't exactly a real boy anymore. Emma gets there just in time to see her would-be caretaker transform back into a man-sized puppet. I'm going to ignore any possible dirty jokes and go back to Regina, who's making her own apologies to Henry.
Are we supposed to feel sorry for the queen, or believe that she really has the capacity to care for her adopted son? Because I still feel a bit like Once's writers want to have it both ways: they characterize Regina as the absolute embodiment of evil most of the time, then try to make her a three-dimensional person when it's convenient. Maybe this will be sorted out in Season 2. In the meantime, Regina's got another problem to deal with.
Jefferson has appeared at the hospital, intending to collect on Regina's promise to reunite him with his daughter. Regina, who's selfish to the core, snarls that their deal is null and void since Henry ate the apple rather than Emma. She smarms that even if he wants to kill her for this, the Hatter doesn't have the guts, then stalks off to meet Emma. Jefferson doesn't take this lying down. Instead, he creeps into the hospital's secret underground asylum, bypasses Nurse Ratched and mute Chief Bromden, and swans into a certain cell... where crazy Belle waits, wondering why she speaks with an Australian accent and wishing she had a nice squirrel baby for company. Jefferson gives the girl her freedom and a mission: to find Mr. Gold and tell him that Regina locked her up.

Dr. Bernhard Hering (photo) and a team of researchers from the Diabetes Institute for Immunology and Transplantation at the University of Minnesota are taking an innovative approach in the quest to cure diabetes. The University of Minnesota is well-known for its pancreas and islet cell transplant program, and in February 2005 Dr. Hering reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association the results of his program using only a single donor pancreas for each of his eight patients. All eight achieved insulin independence after transplantation. These results are unprecedented and indicate that the efficiency of islet transplants can be increased in selected patients to the point that results of whole pancreas transplantation are matched.
At a presentation at Diabetes Research & Wellness Foundation offices in December 2005, Dr. Hering candidly informed us that, realistically, there is an insufficient amount of human islets available to treat the 20.8 million individuals afflicted with diabetes. It was then that Dr. Hering shared his vision for a cure of diabetes that could be tested in patients as early as 2008. He presented his innovative plan of raising a herd of pigs that will be an ongoing source of islet cells. Why, you may ask, would pig islets be a better choice than human islets? In his research, Dr. Hering has successfully transplanted pig islets into monkeys with diabetes and cured them. Dr. Hering, who is a world-renowned researcher, has put together a stellar team of researchers and experts to make his dream a reality.
Dr. Hering and his team have developed an innovative and promising plan. Through his efforts in Minnesota he was introduced to a group of farmers in South Dakota that raise about 40 percent of the pork used in the United States. Their technology and expertise made for a perfect match. Their facility design will meet the stringent guidelines enforced by the FDA in the use of animals for xenotransplantation. The team of researchers is expert in the field of genetic engineering, enabling the creation of a superior donor pig ideal for islet xenotransplantation; and the development of a biosecure environment – enabling the development of an environment that will allow for the raising of a disease-free pig line.
Dr. Hering's goal is to:
DRWF is committed to finding a cure, and support of this type of innovative, out-of-the- box research will help us reach our goal sooner rather than later.
We wish Dr. Hering and his team well in their efforts and will keep our readers posted regarding their results.

The Mayo Clinic and the University of Minnesota Collaborate to Form
Decade of Discovery: A Minnesota Partnership to Defeat Diabetes
Building on the University of Minnesota and Mayo Clinic's well-established strengths in diabetes research and treatment, the initiative will work to make transformational discoveries to defeat diabetes through research, broad penetration of best practices, treatment, intervention and prevention.
"Currently, one of every three Medicare dollars is spent on diabetes-related treatment in our country—with at least $2 billion spent here in Minnesota," said Robert Rizza, MD; Executive Dean of Research at Mayo Clinic, endocrinologist and globally recognized diabetes researcher. "When we look at the quality of life impact of diabetes combined with an annual price tag of $170 billion each year nationally, elevating and expediting Minnesota's ability to tackle this disease is not only the right thing to do, it is a health and economic imperative," states Rizza.
World-renowned scientists and diabetes experts from the Mayo Clinic and the University of Minnesota will lead the Decade of Discovery research teams. "The demographic, health and economic challenges we face demand transformational approaches to how we treat and address diseases in our country," said Frank Cerra, MD, senior vice president for health sciences at the University of Minnesota Academic Health Center and Dean of the University of Minnesota Medical School. "Defeating diabetes is an ambitious goal, but failing to build on Minnesota's existing strengths has far more risks than declaring our commitment to ultimately curing the disease. It's time to be bold and this partnership is ready for the challenge," notes Cerra.
The Decade of Discovery will be guided by an Oversight Committee comprised of respected global, national and local leaders from medical research, business/bio-business, civic leadership, philanthropic interests, disease advocacy groups and other impacted communities.
"Minnesota is uniquely positioned to succeed in this initiative—in large part because of the partnership between Mayo Clinic and the University of Minnesota," said Peter Agre, MD, Nobel laureate, Augsburg College; who will serve as co-chair on the Oversight Committee along with Vance Opperman, president and CEO of Key Investments, Inc. "With Mayo's standing as the leading center of endocrinology research and the university's significant investments in the science of regeneration, investing in Minnesota's globally recognized expertise in diabetes is the key to reaching the ultimate goal of finding a cure to this disease," noted Agre.

ITT Exelis Completes Acquisition Of C4i Pty. Ltd.
ITT Exelis (NYSE: XLS) has completed its acquisition of C4i Pty. Ltd. (C4i) from the Longreach Group Limited (ASX Code: LRG) for an enterprise value of approximately USD 16.8 million. C4i, based in Melbourne, Australia, provides advanced communications software that supports mission critical communications for a range of applications including air traffic management, defense, public safety, mining and homeland security. The acquisition does not materially impact Exelis financial results for the full-year of 2012 or the first quarter of 2013.
C4i's Internet Protocol (IP)-based voice control and switching capabilities provide flexible communications connectivity for dispersed operations personnel. This capability ensures that diverse organizations can effectively communicate in real-time to achieve vital mission needs through the flexible inter-networking of disparate telephony and radio systems.
C4i will become part of the Information Systems business of Exelis. Pam Drew, president of Exelis Information Systems said of the transaction, "This acquisition expands our portfolio of critical infrastructure solutions, builds on our presence in Australia, and brings us closer to our customers and markets of interest." She went on to say, "We welcome C4i to the Exelis portfolio. We look forward to synergies with our air traffic management business with an immediate focus on Australia's oneSKY Australia initiative to combine civil and military air traffic control. More broadly, we see opportunity for integrating C4i's communications capabilities with Exelis' expertise in developing and deploying large scale communications networks."
Peter Harrison, C4i vice president and general manager, said, "Joining the Exelis team expands the breadth of capabilities we can offer to our existing customers and opens doors to new customers outside of our core markets. We anticipate more opportunities for the growth of our business and our employees. The acquisition represents significant commitment to the Australian market and Exelis business pursuits here."C4i is based in Melbourne, Australia with locations in Perth, Australia, Reston, Va., USA and Singapore.

Ball Aerospace Sensor Aboard 8th Landsat Satellite Snaps First Images
BOULDER, Colo., March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. Operational Land Imager (OLI) aboard the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) has completed initial checkout and along with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center built Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) snapped the mission's first multispectral images.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130108/LA39163LOGO)
Link to the satellite's first images taken on March 18, 2013 of the intersection of the U.S. Great Plains and the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming and Colorado. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/landsat/news/first-images-feature.html
The stunning images follow the launch of the LDCM spacecraft on February 11, 2013 from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base. Ball Aerospace built the sophisticated OLI instrument and also provided the cryocooler for TIRS, which was built by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The two sensors will coincidently collect multispectral digital images of the global land surface including coastal regions, polar ice, islands, and the continental areas."Release of the first image from LDCM is a great step toward ensuring these improved instruments provide the nation with the most up-to-date understanding of changes taking place across the planet," said Robert D. Strain, Ball Aerospace chief operating officer and incoming president. For the past 40 years, the Landsat series, managed by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey, has provided vital management information on the use of land resources, such as food, water and forests. For example, data from Landsat helped forest managers determine best response methods and resource allocation for the mountain pine beetle infestation in the Rocky Mountain region. Triggered by an extended drought in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Landsat allowed forest managers to study changes in the ecosystem and identify areas where dead trees should be removed from recreation and camping areas to prevent wildfires.

The streets of Vienna are like nowhere else in the world. Culture all but oozes out of the cracks between the cobblestones that fill in the quaint plazas beneath houses once occupied by the likes of Freud, Thomas Mann, Mozart, and Beethoven.
But if music, literature, drama, and philosophy saturate the skin and flesh of the city, then it is wine that pumps through its veins. For Vienna is like no other major capital city in the world. The city limits themselves contain an entire appellation, so intimately nestled into the nooks and crannies of the city, that one can literally stumble upon vines when turning a corner.
A unique confluence of historical and cultural factors have made possible the coexistence of a city with 1.7 million residents, 1500 acres of grapes, and more than 250 producers of wine in a mere 160 square miles (or roughly two-thirds the size of San Francisco).
Wine is part of the very fabric of the city, both literally and figuratively, and achieves its expression in daily life through the institution known as the heuriger. These wine taverns are not only the social hubs of Vienna, they are also the sole means for all but a handful of the wine producers in Vienna to sell their product. Heurigen, by definition can only sell wine produced on the premises, and usually dispensed straight from tank to flagon. Because these taverns (which often feature live music and simple prepared foods) have remained a staple of Viennese life for more than two centuries, these hundreds of small wine producers have been able to make a living, and consequently, have not needed to sell their vineyards in order to survive in an increasingly urbanized world.
And what a treasure we have as a result. For Vienna and its heurigen are not only home to a vibrant wine culture and a bunch of vineyards, they are the keepers of one of the world's most unique wines: Weiner Gemischter Satz.
The hills, nooks, and crannies of Vienna are chock full of vineyards unlike anywhere else in the world. Often containing very old vines (some as old as 150 years), these vineyards are planted to a dizzying array of (mostly) white grape varieties including Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Traminer, Neuburger, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Rotgipfler, Zierfandler, Welschriesling, and Sylvaner. Some of the most acclaimed vineyards have up to 25 different grapes in them (including a few reds), which are all harvested together, crushed, and turned into the uniquely Viennese Gemischter Satz. These aromatic white wines, usually dry, though with an occasional hint of sweetness, offer a technicolor spray of aromas and flavors that dazzle and delight.
If you've never had a Gemischter Satz, you're missing out, and if you've never heard of Gemischter Satz, then you're in luck. Earlier this summer I wrote what I believe to be the most authoritative English-language article on Gemischter Satz ever published for The World of Fine Wine. It represents my love song for one of the world's most special wines, and includes extensive tasting notes on all the major producers who export their wines.
On August 19th of this year, Weiner Gemischter Satz became the ninth appellation to be awarded DAC (Districtus Austriae Controllatus) status in Austria. Similar to the DOCG designation of Italy, or the AOC designation in France, the DAC protects, regulates, and ensures the typicity and source of wines in Austria.
While there have been some formal and legal regulations in place for what can be labeled Weiner Gemischter Satz, the creation of the DAC cements into place a set of production standards for Gemischter Satz once and for all.
To be labeled Weiner Gemischter Satz DAC, a wine must be a field blend of at least three grape varieties from the same vineyard. One grape cannot make up more than 50% of the blend, and the third most plentiful grape must make up more than 10% of the blend. If the wine does not have a single vineyard designation on the label, it cannot have more than 12.5% alcohol and must taste dry without any signature of oak aging. If it carries a vineyard designation, it must be greater than 12.5% alcohol, must be held for release no earlier than 18 months following harvest, and need not be dry.
Wines can begin carrying this DAC label starting with the 2013 vintage.
The achievement of DAC status represents the culmination of efforts by a group of winemakers rallied together under the banner of Wien Wein, whose efforts to promote Viennese wine, and Gemischter Satz in particular have helped the wine rise from total obscurity to be the pride of the city. As recently as twenty years ago, the fine dining restaurants of Vienna would never have had a Viennese wine on their lists. Today, every decent wine list in the city features Gemischter Satz.
As well they should. Gemischter Satz is one of the world's most unique wines, and when good, tastes like nothing else you've ever tasted.
Learn more about it, and then go out and buy yourself a taste of Vienna. Or better yet, hop on a plane and go experience the magic of the city of wine yourself.

A man accused of killing the superintendent of a Chautauqua County school district is back in Western New York to face murder charges. As YNN's Ryan Whalen reports, it will be the first time he's faced the victim's family too.
MAYVILLE, N.Y. — Nearly three months ago, Anthony Robert Taglianetti was arrested in Virginia for murder.
Tuesday, he set foot in Chautauqua County for the first time since investigators say he shot and killed Clymer Superintendent Keith Reed outside his home.
"It's the first time I've seen him moving and he looked pretty smug to me. I don't understand how somebody who, as far as I'm concerned, has this much evidence built up against him could have that smug look on his face," said Kevin Reed, Keith's brother.
The Chautauqua County District Attorney says Taglianetti became eligible for extradition because he didn't file the correct court documents.
Kevin Reed will get a chance to see his brother's accused killer in person Wednesday when he appears in court.
"I compartmentalize in my mind. I'm not going to have a problem. I just want to see him. I just want to see him in person, get a read on him," Kevin said.
Reed says he wants Taglianetti to see him too, but he doesn't plan on saying anything to him.
"I want the prosecution to handle this trial. When it's all over, I will say what I've got to say and it will shock a lot of people but right now, I'm not saying anything."
He says he would like to see a plea deal made if the punishment fits.
"I would rather not see it go to trial other than the fact that I would very much like to know specifically what happened, but I can give that up if it saves his daughters pain."
Taglianetti could face life in prison.

ABC News gets into video books with new app
ABC News has rolled out a new iPad app that offers video books that combine text, photos and video from the network's archives. The ABC Video Bookstore app (iTunes), which is free, launched with two $7.99 books for sale: "A Modern Fairy Tale" (previewing the royal wedding) and "The Amanda Knox Story."
We dug into the Lost Remote budget and bought the royal wedding book, authored by Jane Green. This isn't Kindle, which strives to deliver books in 60 seconds — the video book took 14 minutes to download via WiFi. But it came with quite a few video clips.
The book opens with a video introduction from Barbara Walters, and then launches into 8 chapters of text — we counted 93 pages — interwoven with photos and 26 embedded ABC News video clips. Most of the videos run 1-3 minutes each, spanning recent stories to archive video of Princess Di. The experience is powered by Vook, and is straightforward and intuitive — flip to turn pages, touch to play and pause videos. The book also features a Google Map with notable places and an interactive timeline.
After the royal wedding, ABC News says it will update the app with fresh content — an example of how ebooks excel over their traditional paper-bound roots. Bestselling author Jane Green teamed up with ABC through the network's sister-company Hyperion Books, which says it will continue to provide authors to power new ABC video books.
"Working with our colleagues at Hyperion, we are uniquely positioned to give readers access to history in a vibrant eBook form – from political campaigns and human drama to the triumphs and tragedies that grip the world," said ABC News President Ben Sherwood.
Overall, I like the app and the video book, although I wonder about the pricing — $7.99 is a lot to spend. Even though it's affordable compared to other digital books, I found myself comparing the price to other apps and TV show downloads, not to books. It would probably help if ABC includes a free book in the app, so users can get a sense of the breadth of content that will be available — it's not a video with some text, but rather the reverse.
By the way, ebooks overall outsold traditional book formats in February. For ABC, which has its own sister publishing arm in Hyperion, attempting to monetize its video archives this way seems to make a lot of sense.

The most widely used Windows version is Windows XP. Most of us are used to windows XP so windows Vista and Windows 7 look quite a lot more complex, that's why we stick with XP.
First thing you would need to do before starting to install Windows XP is, if you are installing it from CD, to check if your computer has the CD-ROM in first boot priority. It is not necessary to be the first in the boot, but the thing that is important is to be in boot before your Hard Drive. To check that you will need to go in BIOS SETUP you can enter there, depending on your motherboard, by hitting DEL(Delete) or F12 on your keyboard.
After you enter the BIOS Setup Screen, look for BOOT that's where you change your Boot Priorities. Every Motherboard has it's own boot software so your might not look like mine. To change the order of CD-ROM, with your arrow buttons on your keyboard go to the CD-ROM Drive and thank hit on + or - on your keyboard. Some of motherboards have F4 or F5.
Before starting your Windows XP Installtion, we need to tell BIOS that the settings changed need to be saved. Find Exit on your screen than use arrow buttons on your keyboard to go there. And on Exit Saving Changes click Enter. There is a Shortcut to do this wherever you are on te setup. Just press the F10 button on your keyboard and a windows will popup asking you are you sure you want to save configuration changes and exit. You hit enter on yes. Now you are ready to start your Windows XP Installation. Enter your Windows XP CD and start your computer.
Notice: If you don't have any Xp installation in your Hard Drive or if your hard drive is fresh new you will not get the Press any key to boot from CD screen. After you press any of the keyboard keys you screen says Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration.
Depending on your computer configuration and how fast your computer is … this screen will load files drivers for your computer and it may take 2 minutes or more. Just wait for it to load them.
After it is done the screen says Setup is starting Windows. After that you see the Welcome to Setup screen. There are 3 options that you can continue with. 1rst by Pressing ENTER to start Windows XP setup. 2nd is by pressing R to start repairing Windows XP and the 3rd is to press F3 to exit Windows Setup. As we want to setup a new Windows Installation we go with the 1rst option. Press Enter on your keyboard.
The next thing you will need to do is Press F8 so windows XP will know that you have read and you are accepting the License Agreement.
After you press F8 and agree you get the screen where your partitions show. Partitions are parts of your Hard Drive. You can have as many as you like, I prefer having 2. One for Windows OS and the other for stuff I would like to keep safe. If your windows somehow doesn't work or crashes you will need to format your C drive to get things work again .. or you can repair your Windows, but maybe you would like to start fresh again so I recommend keeping your Documents, pictures, music, anything on your D drive, the second drive. You create a partition by pressing the C button on your keyboard. After pressing C, you get the screen where you will need to specify how much your partition size will be. The size is calculated in MB(MegaBytes). So for 40GB(GigaBytes) of partition you will need 40960 MB.
Notice: As you may or may not know 1GB = 1024 MB.
After you write your desired size hit Enter and the partition will be created. As I mentioned above you can create as many partitions you like. For doing that just hit C every time you want to create a partition.
After you have created your partition(s) select the desired partition and press Enter to continue with the setup. You will get to the Next screen asked with what kind of type you want your partition formatted. You can select any but NTFS (New Technology File System) works faster than FAT32 (File Allocation Table). You have 2 options Quick format and Normal format. Quick format is just as it sounds, it is quick. Use it when you don't have a lot of time. But I recommend the Normal Format. Then Windows Setup needs to confirm for formatting your partition. To do that you need to press F.
So now Windows Setup will Format your drive and Copy all the installation files into your hard drive to continue with the Setup. All you need to do is wait for the formatting and copying to finish. Grab a cup of coffee, light a cigarette or do something else. Depending on your computer speed the time of waiting may vary from 3 to 15 minutes.
This is the last screen you will see on the Text-based Setup of Windows XP. Just Press Enter or wait 15 second for your computer to reboot. After rebooting you will get Press Any key to continue screen this time you dont need to Press any key to boot from CD … just wait for it to timeout and your Windows Setup will continue.
The picture on the left shows the first Graphic screen with mouse of the Windows XP setup. And the picture on the right shows Installing devices. Your Screen may flicker while Windows is Installing Devices. It flickers because Windows XP Setup is installing your Graphic card. So be Patient and Wait.
This is the first window in your Windows Xp Setup. There are 2 things to be considered in this step. You can Customize your Regional And Language Options and Text Services and Input Languages or leave them as they are so you will customize them later when you finish installing Windows XP.
So If you want to customize any of these settings go ahead, like choose your language and choose your location(Region) so the computer will show currencies, time short date long date like it is shown in your region. Also you can add languages, input languages support for your keyboard to type in any language you want. As I said you can do these after the setup finishes but why not set them now so you will not waste time after installation for these things, but waste time installing the drivers instead.
Here you will need to write your Name and Organization. Write anything you want. After that write the Product Key of your Windows XP. The key is consisted from 5 parts. Every part has 5 characters. Write them and click Next.
Next write a computer name by your choice and write the administrator password. I recommend you write an administrator password, but you can leave it blank if you want and click next. The next screen is for the Time and Date Settings. Check the timezone. If you don't know what timezone you are in, go to The World Clock and in the Search for City field write your city and it will show the timezone of your city. It's pretty easy. Click Next.
The next thing you need to do is to choose the Network Settings for your computer. Usually everyone chooses Typical settings and click next.
Next thing write your workgroup name or domain name if your computer is part of any of those. If not just leave the default and click Next.
Now you wait.
After all these processes have finished as shown in the pictures above, you will get a screen with a pop-up windows saying To improve the appearance of your visual elements, Windows will automatically adjust your screen resolution. Click on OK.
The Screen you get next is Microsoft Windows XP Please wait… screen. As it says, Please wait … just wait a few seconds or minutes depending on your computer speed.
Next you will be asked for a username for your computer if you haven't written any password for the administrator account.
Just enter the password if you have written any for your administrator account and hit Enter on your keyboard. Your computer will apply your personal settings of your user and log on to your username.
Notice: If you have used any cracked version of windows or any unattended Windows Setup, most of the steps mentioned above are skipped and default values are added.
Hope you enjoyed and hope it helped you.

The White House just announced that eight additional counties have signed on to a statement condemning the Syria regime's alleged use of chemical weapons and calling for a strong international response.
The eight new countries are: Georgia, Guatemala, Kuwait, Malta, Montenegro, Panama, Poland and Portugal.
And here's the full list of 33 countries that have signed the statement:
Albania; Australia; Canada; Croatia; Denmark; Estonia; France; Guatemala; Georgia; Germany; Honduras; Hungary; Italy; Japan; Republic of Korea; Kosovo; Kuwait; Latvia; Lithuania; Malta; Montenegro; Morocco; Panama; Poland; Portugal; Qatar; Romania; Saudi Arabia; Spain; Turkey; United Arab Emirates; United Kingdom; United States
President Obama spoke from the White House about Syria beginning just after 9 p.m. ET. Stay here for real-time reaction on the president's address, and watch the full speech below.
The Post's Paul Kane and Ed O'Keefe report from Capitol Hill that President Obama told Democratic senators he wants to take a look at the Russian government's plan for Syria to give up control of its chemical weapons before moving ahead with a congressional vote on military action.
"He wants to pursue that [Russian] plan for several days and then see where this stands," said Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.).
Added Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), "I think he [Obama] acknowledges that what it is we'll vote on may change because of the developments of the day. We may not know what it is right now. … There is an appetite not to vote today while we see the news of the last 24 hours playing themselves out and I think we're going to see those things play out."
Three of the four to-ranking party leaders in the House and Senate support military action in Syria. The odd man out? Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) The Fix explains the unique political pressure he faces:
None of the other three leaders are being threatened by primary challengers or are under the electoral microscope the way McConnell is this cycle. Faced with a 2014 map with few pick-up opportunities, Senate Democrats have made McConnell their top GOP target, recruiting secretary of state Alison Lundergan Grimes (D) to challenge him. Pelosi and Boehner aren't at any risk of losing their seats next year, and Reid doesn't face reelection until 2016.
The Fix flags five things to watch in President Obama's prime-time address to the nation, including the question of who, exactly, Obama is going to be speaking to most directly: Americans or the international community? The answer may have seemed obvious last week. But it's far less clear now:
* The target audience: When President Obama initially announced he would give this speech last Friday in Russia, the expectation was that it would be aimed at convincing the American public and, by extension, their representatives in Congress, that striking Syria is in America's interest. But, the faltering congressional support for the resolution — there are already more than 217 "no" or "lean no" votes in the House and the "no's" are coming fast and furious from the Senate today — and the rise of the the possibility of a diplomatic intervention could mean that Obama is focused far more on the international community in his speech.
Speaking to reporters after President Obama met with Republican senators shortly after 3 p.m., Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said a Senate vote on Syria is "not going to happen this week."
"I think it's very important for us to keep on the table to ability to use military force, but I think at the same time it's probably good for us just to take a pause," he said. "I see no reason for us to have [our] hair on fire."
Corker said he believed the president "would like some time…to determine whether this offer is credible or not," and added, "I don't have a lot of faith in the Russians personally."
Asked how long the Senate was prepared to wait for Obama to assess Syria's offer, he said: "I don't think he even knows at this point. I think they're still trying to ferret out whether this is a valid offer, or a ploy to delay, stall and keep anything from happening."
From CBS News:
It looks as though Congress might vote against authorizing President Obama to use military force in Syria — if it ever comes to a vote, of course.
But would that be unprecedented?
In three words: It's not clear.
Here's an excerpt from my post with Gillian Brockell on The Fix (click this link for the full piece):
So, if Congress actually votes against authorizing the use of force, would it be unprecedented?
Well, that depends on whom you ask.
Bloomberg declared in a recent story that Congress has never spurned a president in this manner.
"No U.S. president has ever been turned down by Congress when asking to use military force," the story began.
Don't tell that to James M. Lindsay, the senior vice president at the Council on Foreign Relations. He recently wrote a blog post detailing five cases in which Congress turned down a request to authorize military action.
Here are the five, pulled directly from his blog post:
- In 1805, Thomas Jefferson urged Congress to authorize him to take action against Spain in a dispute over the boundary separating Florida (then Spanish territory) and Louisiana. Congress did nothing.
- In 1831, Andrew Jackson asked Congress for authority to order reprisals against French shipping and property if France continued to avoid paying damage claims that dated back to the Napoleonic era. The Senate voted unanimously against the request. Jackson let the issue drop.
- In 1859, James Buchanan asked Congress to authorize sending troops into Mexico to punish Indians who were conducting cross-border raids. Congress said no.
- In 1891, Benjamin Harrison asked Congress for authority "to take such action as may be deemed appropriate" to punish Chile for refusing to apologize after a mob killed two American sailors. Congress declined to authorize hostilities.
- In 1917, Woodrow Wilson asked Congress for authority to arm American-owned merchant vessels so they could sink German U-boats that had been preying on American shipping. Senators Robert La Follette (R-Wis.) and George Norris (R-Neb.) led a filibuster that killed the bill.
Well there you go … except that not everybody agrees that these examples qualify.
We talked to Richard F. Grimmett, a former Congressional Research Service researcher who specializes in this area. He said these five aren't really the same thing.
The White House just announced that eight additional counties have signed on to a statement condemning the Syria regime's alleged use of chemical weapons and calling for a strong international response.
The eight new countries are: Georgia, Guatemala, Kuwait, Malta, Montenegro, Panama, Poland and Portugal.
And here's the full list of 33 countries that have signed the statement:
Albania; Australia; Canada; Croatia; Denmark; Estonia; France; Guatemala; Georgia; Germany; Honduras; Hungary; Italy; Japan; Republic of Korea; Kosovo; Kuwait; Latvia; Lithuania; Malta; Montenegro; Morocco; Panama; Poland; Portugal; Qatar; Romania; Saudi Arabia; Spain; Turkey; United Arab Emirates; United Kingdom; United States
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said she believes President Obama thinks Congress's apparent opposition to the use of military action against the Assad regime could reduce U.S. leverage in negotiations over Syria's chemical weapons.
"I think he is very concerned that Congress not undercut that ability for him to threaten force, which obviously if he got a negative vote in the Senate, he feels that he would lose some leverage," Collins said.
She added, "That's my interpretation; those are not his words."
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) who has been opposed to a strike in Syria, said was hopeful that the proposal by the Russians would help the situation in Syria, but acknowledged it was just part of a solution.
"I think it'd be great," Paul said, adding: "It's part of the riddle, but it doesn't completely fix the problem. I mean, Assad still remains, there's still a civil war going on, there's still civilians being killed by conventional warfare. But it gets rid of one of the fears of people is that chemical weapons could be launched through rocket attacks on other countries."
Max Fisher at the WorldViews blog says it might be:
Now that Assad knows he can always delay strikes by simply promising to give up his chemical weapons, he doesn't actually have to give them up. He just has to convince the United States that he might. Worse, he could reasonably conclude that, since pledges to give up his chemical weapons are his best deterrent against the United States, actually giving them up is the worst thing he could do. Better to hold on to them forever, lest he lose his one real point of leverage, and just keep bluffing.
If that strategy sounds familiar, it should. As North Korea-watcher Adrian Hong put it to me recently, Assad can easily "adopt the North Korea playbook" and keep his chemical weapons but pretend to be forever on the verge of disarming, all the while continuing his bad behavior. The thing that has made this strategy so successful for North Korea is that it can get away with almost anything: global weapons proliferation, sprawling gulags, shelling South Korean civilians for fun. But the world is so concerned about North Korea's weapons of mass destruction – nuclear as well as chemical – that nobody wants to upset the interminably protracted negotiations over rolling them back.
Anne Gearan reports:
Secretary of State John F. Kerry will travel to Europe this week to discuss the proposal to assume international control of Syria's chemical weapons with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, a senior administration official said.
The meeting will be Thursday in Geneva, Switzerland, where the United States and Russia hope to convene a separate peace conference on Syria.

Good Sequel With Flaws June 25, 2013By R. Hill
Company of Heroes 2 is the epic sequel to the original World War 2 strategy game that came out in 2006. While the first COH dealt with the western front with the Americans, British, Canadians VS the Germans. The sequel focuses on the brutal fighting of the eastern front with the Russians against the Germans and their allies. Even though this game has issues I have faith that Relic will continue to improve on it to make it great. After all the original COH took a while to become the excellent and still enjoyable game it is now.

Ludacris has finally released the video for his new single, 'Representin", which features former Destiny's Child member, Kelly Rowland. The record has been lifted off Ludacris' upcoming album, 'Ludaversal'.
Fans of Ludacris will have to wait till 2013 to hear the final product of 'Ludaversal'. He previously released the video for the lead single of the project, 'Jingalin', earlier on this year and now you can watch the video for 'Representin' below:
So far, Ludacris' 'Ludaversal' project is seemingly a disaster. 'Representin" isn't a strong enough record to be a hit, and he should've saved his and Rowland's time on something worthwhile, instead of making a video for such a weak record. Hopefully, Ludacris has more exciting records under his belt because this isn't satisfying.
