4.5 Great Value for money! rthomas96 | 22/12/2010 | See all rthomas96's reviews (4) This keyboard is great value money but it does it have its let downs, the lighting isnt too great and you cant turn it off. The wierd shape of the wrist rest isnt good because half your wrist is on and the other half off. The keys are fantastic no stick or anything. Some pictures of this keyboard and the box shows it having the '@' sign on the number 2 key but it is not on the uk layout. It also shows a small Enter/Return button but it is a nice full size one. This keyboard is great value for money but if you have slightly more to spend I would recommended looking at something like the Microsoft Sidewinder X6.
4.5 Best keyboard I ever had!!! Drewienko | 19/11/2010 | See all Drewienko's reviews (19) It's just simply perfect. Nice design, very comfortable wrist rest, back light is great touch for night playing, loads of settings and all of it for 16.99!!! Anything else? Coz I am cooked and ready for dinner. Nice one this one.
4.5 Spectacluar price for a great keyboard saxtonhale | 19/04/2010 | See all saxtonhale's reviews (1) The obvious great thing about this keyboard is the price. Wow. As well as this the keyboard itself is great, very fast, ergonomic and sturdy, it is also one of the few examples of a product with blue lights that does not look stupid and tacky, you can tell they are there, but are not too intrusive.The top panel was a little loose, but this is no big problem.Overall a great keyboard for the price, but I'm not sure it warrants the RRP, if the G11 was the same price, I would probably go for that, due to personal preference, and design.
4.5 One word, Luxury AlanTH | 16/04/2010 | See all AlanTH's reviews (63) What a superb keyboard this is, Heavy solid and well built, the keys are solid and so quite when typing on. Some great shortcuts on the board. It looks gorgouse all black and another great feature, the wrist rest is padded which feels so nice when gaming, like resting your wrist on a pillow. The blue backlight is lovely very effective for night time gaming. I cannot recommend this keyboard enough it looks gorgouse and the keys are a joy to use. For 17.99 is a steal. Solid sleak and Luxurious.
4.5 Great value Tomi01 | 09/04/2010 | See all Tomi01's reviews (5) I reckon you will be hard pressed to get a better gaming keyboard for the price. It is a heavy beast. Plenty of macro action if needed, good backlit keys, though you cannot adjust the brightness. Never bothered me though. Build quality up to the usual high standards of Microsoft. I really do think they make great peripherals. I think it looks the business as well.
4.5 Well worth £17.99 skellyness | 01/04/2010 | See all skellyness's reviews (13) Which is what I payed :)It looks well and truley awsome, its easy to use, more comfortable. Its supported by razer I believe, and their products usually cost a bomb - good software included too for managing keyboard user profiles. Easily programmable shortcut keys, good volume controle.
4.5 good quality cuppycake | 30/03/2010 | See all cuppycake's reviews (2) bought this keyboard as a homage to my boyfriends game playing (ness) and actually its really good for me as well. the back lights really help you type in dimly lit rooms, and the adjustable volume knob is really really cool, especially in pvping. i like the ergonomic rest. over all its a really good quality keyboard, that is v. comfotable and has some wicked tricks :)
4.5 Some of the many features i really like..... mac4970 | 30/03/2010 | See all mac4970's reviews (1) 1. Quiet and responsive.2. Auto-detection of program profile (triggered by .exe).3. Programmable keys and macro feature inc timer.4. Fully compatible with Win7 x32/ x64. (Driver version 1.05)5. Value for money - 10/10. :)
4.5 WOW Clegganator | 11/03/2010 | See all Clegganator's reviews (3) WOW this keyboard is brilliant! was very very pleased wen i got this! i bought it 4 18quid wen there was a 1 day sale on! but even 4 25quid it is still DEFO werth the money! :) theres just 1 thing i havnt sussed out yet! Is There anyway at all 2 turn the backlight off on the keyboard? lol cuz i leave my computer on over night so wud b in the corner off my eye wen watchin tv!!
4.5 Excellent DaPpZZ | 09/02/2009 | See all DaPpZZ's reviews (11) I have recently purchased one of these keyboards about a month ago from somewhere else around the same price mark. I am reviewing this for other customers.I had been looking for a good gaming keyboard for a few weeks that offers quality, performance and most importantly it has to be comfortable.After using this keyboard for a month now, I can happily confrm that this keyboard offers all of the above. I have major long gaming sessions that last between 4-6 hours and I can confirm that so far I havent suffered from any aches or pains (apart from the missus kicking me out of bed and beating me with her pillow/handbag) ;-)The keyboard lights up well in the dark and I can see all the keys perfect. The wrist support and keyboard layout is superb. The software was simple and easy to install/use.overall a solid keyboard, fast response time and very comfortable.I would recommend this to anyone 10/10 for me....

Product description
Through thick mist and a cold east wind, Lavinia returns to Scotland. Up at the big house Mrs Farquhar is dying. Seeing Lachlan again, Lavinia remembers her childhood holidays there: swimming in the loch, the picnics, bottle-feeding the lambs down at the farm and the evenings when they danced reels. Most of all, she remembers Mrs Farquhar's grandson Rory. In the house, as the old lady lies serene and beautiful in the bed she has slept in since coming home to Lachlan as a bride, Lavinia meets Rory once again. Flowers in the Rain is one of sixteen stories, each giving another magical glimpse into Rosamunde Pilcher's world. The world in which most would prefer to live all the time.

Felling Direction 1910.266(h)(2) l Clear landing - Felling a tree onto stumps, large rocks, or uneven ground should be avoided. » This will prevent or reduce cracking and other damage to the tree, and limit the potential for rebound of the tree. l Lean of tree - Generally easier and safer to fell a tree in direction that it is already leaning. » This makes for a cleaner fall and eliminates the need to use wedges, allowing gravity to do the work.

Anyone been recently? Is it worth the drive from Richmond?
Town House
132 E Main St, Chilhowie, VA 24319
It's been 18 months or so. I wouldn't drive that far just for dinner, but if you have a reason to visit Abingdon or make a weekend of it, it's a wonderful dinner. Then again, I won't drive far for much.

My husband and a fishing buddy went last month and said it is worth the trip, but that it's a long trip. They had a fabulous time.
We are trying to figure a way to get there in the fall. They have a farmhouse close by they have made into two luxury rooms for lodging and they will drive you to and from dinner.

I was there in April and it was still just as fantastic as before!
Not only did everything taste wonderful, but it delights on so many other levels. I consider it very well worth my 4 hour drive.

Fresh off helping Ivory Coast to the African Cup of Nations title, Gervinho scored the winner for Roma from close range on the hour mark.

Just want to thank Tom for the front page and for choosing a fancy new icon file (nice choice btw). Thank you NG users for all of your votes, input, and reviews, couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Freakin' daily 1st and weekly 4th, pretty damn awesome. I'm definitely going to be doing more with this series, so be on the lookout!
After a long hiatus from animation and arena-style battles, I present to you, Goobers Arena! For those of you who've enjoyed my Stick Dude Killing Arena series; This is a huge step up and something you'll freaking love! You'd better anyway... You know, if you want to.
Anyway! It's full of bloody goodness and gory kills; It's got Medals, Extra Features, and Stuff! Enjoy!
- Eric, ESP Animation
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Really nice job. This is till one of my favorite types of animation and it was really well done.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
NICE JOB! i loved this animation :D i read that people complained about the speed of the fights. granted it could have been a bit faster, but then you wouldn't be able to appreciate the detail in this piece. the expressions, the gestures, the damage that the stage took. and the thing that i liked the most was the showdown. not just because of the street fighter reference, but you could actually see the damage each fighter took and it had consequences. unlike sprite fights or stickfigure fights where they get stabbed and shot at and they keep fighting full power.
this video/game was awesome!
I appreciate that you understand what I was going for; See, that's my whole intention. I don't want to take away from any one of the kills, so I try and pace the action that way. A ton of detail was put into this piece.... it can't be passed off as "just another stickman fight," and that's why I feel that the animation's pacing works. Glad that you also appreciated the damage they took and all the nuances of the animation; That's part of the reason that have the movie scaled to 700x700
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
was epic as hell but was to slow if the fight was more fast paced it would get a solid 5 but the half was for the lil rye saying hadouken in a funny way loved plz add more
Rated 4 / 5 stars
The main reason for not 5 stars, is the slow speed, in videos like this, you should make it as fast and possible but yet leaving it cool and easy to follow. Another thing, I love who some of them die in pathetic and funny ways, and the sound they make really helps, but for the "boss fights" you should leave it cool (grunts, not squeaks) with hidden moves (not just the hadokens, shurikins and teleport). Also, because unlike most videos of this type, the entire video was in one scene, leaving lots of dead bodies on the grounds, if you're not going to make them instantly despawn, you should make the future fights relate to the dead bodies (some guy trips over one, enemy is out of range, so one guy takes a dead body and throws it at him :P...etc.) Ehh...just an extra addition...you already have tons (for a video).

An all-out Read the Footnotes prevailed over Second of June by a neck in a gut-wrenching finish to Saturday's $250,000 Fountain of Youth Stakes (gr. II) for 3-year-olds at Gulfstream Park.Ridden by Jerry Bailey, Read the Footnotes became the first New York bred to win the Fountain of Youth, the first major prep race in the East for the May 1 Kentucky Derby (gr. I).Read the Footnotes hooked up with Second of June and Cornelio Velasquez as the favorites in the eight-horse field headed into the home turn and the two colts put on quite a show all the way to the wire. Read the Footnotes got up in the final yards in a time of 1:42 3/5 for the 1 1/16-mile test. Silver Wagon was a distant third, 7 1/2 lengths behind."I needed every bit he had in him," said Bailey, who was pumping his charge furiously down the lane. "Neither horse wanted to lose. I've got to credit my horse a lot for reaching down and finding more."Velasquez said, "We had a good trip, we just got beat." It was the fifth win six starts for Read the Footnotes, a bay colt by Smoke Glacken–Baydon Belle (by Al NasrRichard Violette trains the winner. Violette also won an earlier allowance race for 3-year-olds with Swingforthefences, who swept to a 5 1/4-length win for his first victory against winners.``He's a great, great second string,'' Violette said. Read the Footnotes will try to become the latest New York-bred to find success in the classics after Funny Cide won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness last year. "This is horse racing. He doesn't know where he's foaled," Violette said.Violette said Read the Footnotes would go in the Florida Derby (gr. I) on March 13 next."We were grinding it out and I thought the layoff would get to us, but it didn't," he said. "He's a very fast horse, he's five for six, and he's the real deal."Frisky Spider kicked away to lead early through :23 4/5 and :47 3/5 fractions down the backstretch by 1 1/2 lengths. But Second of June, favored at 3-2, and 2-1 Read the Footnotes, three wide, inhaled the leader heading into the turn and the pair quickly established command.Second of June had a length lead on the turn and continued to hold a half-length edge over the winner in upper stretch, never giving in during the long drive to the wire.``Anytime you go from the quarter pole to the wire and there's not more than a couple of inches separating you, it's fun,'' Bailey said. ``It's even more fun when you win.'' Read the Footnotes paid $6.20, $3.20 and $2.20. Second of June returned $2.60 and $2.20. Silver Wagon's show was $2.60. The $2 exacta was worth $13.60.El Prado Rob was fourth, followed by Sir Oscar, Broadway View, Frisky Spider and Hopefortheroses.Sir Oscar, who had been unbeaten in six starts, settled for fifth. ``We can beat these guys next time,'' said Sir Oscar's jockey, Julio Garcia.

Opinion Line Extra (July 10)
OK, so Barack Obama is not Abraham Lincoln, but both have done what they sincerely believed was best for our country. Both deserve our respect and admiration for that.
Methinks the failure and shenanigans of the present administration at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. are not, as many are apt conclude, due to bumbling and fumbling of the president and his staff, but rather gremlins. Yes, gremlins. And Bush and the tea party placed them there.
If the president wants to unite this country and start an economic storm, all he has to do is pull back on Obamacare. Things will really get going then.
President Obama should create a new bureau within the Department of Education. It should be called the Institute for National Education Proficiency Training to Increase Tolerance and Understanding of Democracy and Equality. Its acronym would be INEPTITUDE.
Now let me get this straight: You must be a high school graduate to serve in the U.S. armed forces, but the National Security Agency, one of our primary intelligence-gathering agencies, has no problem with contractors it hires being high school dropouts?
The U.S. is most definitely doing the immigration thing wrong. Instead of allowing millions to break and enter the U.S., only for U.S. taxpayers to have to support them, tax the heck out of the "immigrants" and let them support U.S. citizens.
Someone leaked information about how lax Pakistan was in tracking Osama bin Laden. Maybe we need to offer sanctuary to the person who leaked that story. Don't we have a right to know when an allied government does something wrong?
Has anyone bothered to research why Nelson Mandela was put in prison in the first place?
I am a gun owner and no longer a member of the NRA. Our law enforcement officers put their lives in danger every day to protect us all. Assault weapons are an assault on us all.
I would like to know how many of the fireworks calls to the nonemergency line were answered and how many tickets were issued on fireworks.
I see that energy drink you just finished gives you just enough energy to throw the container out of your vehicle window into the street or onto someone else's property. It must not be what it claims to be.
In the Sunday Eagle, editorial cartoonist Richard Crowson spoke well of Carl Sebits and Velma Wallace for their generosity, respectively, to Friends University and Wichita State University. Crowson says something positive? There now – that wasn't hard, was it?

The Saunders College of Business at Rochester Institute of Technology has knowledge to lend, and is looking for local companies to share in it.
The college is seeking area businesses to take part in the annual Capstone Project, sponsored by the executive MBA program. Applications are due April 18.
The executive MBA project teams spend a 20-hour week defining and analyzing a client's problems, delving into areas that include manufacturing, finance, business strategy, marketing, human resource management and information systems.
"We see the 'Capstone Projects' as both a service to Rochester's business community and an opportunity for our executive MBA students to demonstrate their expertise," said Donald Wilson, director of the executive MBA program. "We are always interested in receiving capstone applications from organizations identifying problems that will challenge our EMBA students while tackling real issues at local companies."
Participants must be willing to provide a project sponsor and share relevant information and data with student teams. RIT officials note the confidential studies are available only to company officers and faculty reviewers.
There is no fee to participate, though RIT said some companies have made contributions to the Saunders College executive MBA scholarship fund.
Firms interested in participating can find more information by visiting www.ritemba.com and clicking on Capstone Projects. Those interested also contact RIT's executive MBA office at email@example.com.

About the Manufacturer
The roots of Heartwood extend back to 1992 when Lynda and Jerry Glass began a small Saturday craft show business attending local "festival days" across Mississippi. Their unique products were overwhelmingly received. After a few years, nature products were added, and because of demand, became the only items made. Full attention was then given to these products and they enjoyed much local success. A local merchant picked up the line from Heartwood and suggested its products could be marketed nationally. Wonderful friends provided further encouragement, and in 1998 Heartwood took its products to "market" in Atlanta.Heartwood Aqua Duck House with Cypress/Wooden Roof

Ke$ha Is the Modern Shakespeare: Dramatic Readings of Pop Songs
What could be more romantic than William Shatner asking you to stand under his umbrella? What makes old ladies go through their oxygen tanks faster than James Earl Jones saying, "baby, baby, baby." Or how about Jude Law talking about his "muffin?"
Take a look at these celebs who are taking the words of our pop icons very, very seriously. From Rihanna to The Beatles, in the end, they're all poets.
Move over Justin Bieber. It isn't only his full head of hair at the age of 80 that puts Justin's side-swept locks to shame, but his reading of the hit, "Baby, baby, baby" on 'The Gayle King Show' will undoubtedly get nursing home ladies across the country more than a little frisky. Forget hoards of screaming tweens, James' rendition is sure to bust an oxygen tank or two.
Watch more dramatic readings after the jump!
Forget harpists or a string quartet, if you really want to impress the ladies, hire William Shatner to give a romantic reading of a pop love song like Rihanna's 'Umbrella.' Complete with imaginary props, nothing says 'I love you' more than William's dramatic interpretation of the words, "ella, ella, ella, ey, ey ey."
Jude Law certainly isn't "bluffin' with [his] muffin" in this reading of Lady Gaga's 'Poker Face' on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.' Accent and all, Jude gives Gaga a run for her money with his dramatic denouement, forcefully repeating that no one can read his poker face.
But Christopher Walken's startling interpretation of Gaga's 'Poker Face' "oh"s and "ooo"s puts Jude's tame rendition to shame. Christopher used 'Friday Night with Jonathan Ross' as his platform to let loose and "get him hot."
British comedian and actor, Peter Sellers, gave a staccato reading of the Beatles' classic, 'A Hard Day's Night.' Shifting in his chair, Peter makes pitch perfect comedic pauses to take the sweet ballad to a sexual level. Well done.
There's nothing like a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet adding a dash of glitter to his usual dry and academic readings. Here, Paul breaks down K$sha's lyrical masterpiece, 'Tik Tok.' 'King Lear' references? He thinks, yes.
Peter O'Toole of 'Lawrence of Arabia' fame gets spicy in this rendition of the Spice Girls' 'Wannabe.' Wing-back leather chairs never looked so hot.

Unless we get Jenkins, my choice would be to draft two safeties. My choices are Will Moore and Rashad Johnson. BTW, Gosselin has Johnson as the best kick coverage guy in the draft. ================================================ I'm fine at corner with Bodden, Hobbs, and Springs for 2009 (with Wheatley and Wilhite as the injury replacements and dime back). For 2010, we're fine at corner with no CBA with Hobbs, Springs, Wheatley, Wilhite and 2010 free agents. For 2010 with a CBA, we would need a couple of free agent corner additions as we do every year, and perhaps a draft choice.
I don't think we need to add 2 players to the secondary, but we can add up to 2 if the right players fall. I think we are fine for 2009 at CB with Bodden/Hobbs/Springs/Wheatley/Wilhite. We have Meriweather/Sanders/TWilliams at safety, which is actually an improvement over 2008. I see us probably carrying 9 DBs (possibly a 10th with STs, but it will be hard to find the roster space). I would ideally like to see a future starting S opposite Meriweather drafted. Since it is unclear whether Meriweather will stay at SS or FS (or even what that means in BB's system), there are a lot of options as to the type of player that might complement Meriweather: an in the box guy like William Moore, Patrick Chung or Chip Vaughn; a hydrid SS/FS like Louis Delmas; or a more mobile FS/CB hybrid like Malcolm Jenkins and Sean Smith. All are possibilties. It's possible that BB could draft 2 of those options, but there are other needs and it would depend on how the value fell.
From what I've read Vaughn would be a better cover guy than a run stuffer, therefore I would classify him similar to Delmas.
Really? Here's 2 profiles on Vaughn. First, from NFLdraftscout: Positives: Looks the part. Rare size and upper-body development for the position. Aggressive defender that attacks in run support. Reliable open-field tackler. Heavy hitter that can separate the ballcarrier from the ball, resulting in forced fumbles and passes broken up. Appears to have at least adequate straight-line speed, good balance and a low backpedal. Good leaping ability to battle for the ball. Has developed a reputation for game-changing plays over his career. Came to Wake Forest as a wide receiver and is still an ascending player. Negatives: Better in run support than against the pass. Questionable instincts. A step slow in recognizing the action and has a hitch in his turn. May lack the agility to mirror routes. Better facing the quarterback. Loses track of the ball and has only marginal hand-eye coordination for the interception. Surrounded by a great deal of talent at Wake Forest. Second, from NFLdraftcountdown: Strengths: Terrific size and bulk...Superb tackler...Real tough and physical...Will deliver the big hit...Very active and aggressive...Good range...Does a fantastic job against the run...Smart and instinctive...Very productive. Weaknesses: Just average speed...Doesn't have great hands or ball skills...Gets too high in his backpedal...Hips aren't real fluid...Will struggle to match up with wideouts in man coverage...Isn't very quick...A little inconsistent. Notes: First name is "Clarence"...Actually arrived at Wake Forest as a wide receiver...Saw extensive action as a backup early in his career before taking over a starting job in 2007...Led the Demon Deacons in tackles as a junior...A blue-collar prospect who certainly isn't flashy but has adequate physical tools and even better intangibles...An in-the-box run supporter whose best fit at the next level will be as a strong safety. Sounds more like Moore and Chung than Delmas to me.
I'd like to see three DB's taken. These have to be hybrid players that can cover and tackle. Safeties that can play man coverage is prefferred. Take a CB late that they can stick on the Prctice Squad and develop. They have the draft picks to do.
Well just from the combine alone I wouldn't classify speed as Vaughn's weakness. And going by Sporting News Draft Guide it's just the opposite. Strengths: "Shows quick, compact backpedal...shows sideline-to-sideline range in deep pass coverage." Weaknesses: "Does not fly upfield in run support. Struggles to move through traffic Launches at ballcarriers looking to make big hits, causing him to miss some tackles." Bottom Line: "Vaughn's failure to standout in run support is a big concern. However, he shows the athleticism and instincts to be effective in pass coverage."
Ah, The Sporting News. Now I understand. The same guys that had us taking Paul Kruger at 23. I've given up reading the trash that Russ Lande puts out.
I'm fine with drafting 2 safeties, but I don't think you draft the second one before the 5th or so, if you're going to draft one in the first or the second.
If they are looking for a second safety in this draft, they could do far worse than picking Otis Wiley in the sixth or seventh. Hell, Wiley might go undrafted after being injured most of the offseason. He never really put it all together at Michigan State but he has all the tools necessary to become a really nice SS as a pro.

BBBs do not advise consumers on which insurance program they should purchase, since everyone has different individual needs. However, before replacing one's current insurance with a policy from a different company, it would be prudent for a policyholder to:
1. Ask the representative selling replacement insurance for a written sales proposal and comparison disclosure statement, (some states require this) and a copy of the policy or policies being offered. Carefully review this information. Make sure all promises are confirmed in writing.
2. Have your present insurance agent give you a written comparison of your existing insurance with the proposed replacement insurance to assist you in determining whether it is to your advantage to switch to another insurance program.
3. Before you drop your current insurance coverage for another plan, find out if the new coverage is effective immediately. If not, you may wish to keep your current coverage at least until the new policy will pay benefits to you.
4. Always obtain a receipt from any person to whom you release your policies for review.
5. Check with your state insurance commission to make sure that the insurance underwriter or carrier and agent offering replacement insurance are licensed in your state.
6. Buy only the amount of insurance you need and can afford.

ISP Alliance Plots IM Revolt
ISP Alliance Plots IM Revolt
Posted 2001-06-11
EarthLink and six international internet service providers may agree to use an instant messaging platform different from America Online's dominant service.
EarthLink and six international internet service providers may agree to use an instant messaging platform different from America Onlines dominant service. At a recent meeting of EarthLink and Brazils Universo Online, Germanys T-Online, Hong Kongs Netvigator, Japans Nifty, Koreas Unitel and Singapores SingNet, the companies agreed to seek ways to formalize their alliance at the next meeting in December. At that Brazil gathering, IM will be a "hot topic," EarthLink President Michael McQuary said in an interview last week.
"Almost everybody in the alliance is pushing towards adopting a different standard [from AOL]," McQuary said. A decision by the group, which collectively has more than 30 million users, could influence EarthLink to drop its licensing agreement with AOL and adopt a new, interoperable IM engine instead.
AOLs policy to keep the application closed to competitors is "extremely nearsighted," McQuary said. "What if their e-mail systems would not be interoperable? That would dramatically reduce the value of the Internet." Although AOL notified the Internet Engineering Task Force last year that the company wanted to start working on an IM standard, no specific architecture has been proposed. AOL has a history of blocking competitors attempts to interconnect other IM platforms with its own. Both AT&T and The Microsoft Network have been rebuffed, as was much smaller Odigo. Last year, AOL spokeswoman Tricia Primrose likened Odigos attempts to interconnect its IM with AOLs Instant Messenger to hacking. AOL executives were not available to comment last week. The process of creating an IM standard is, nevertheless, on its way.
"The working group is focused on developing a common data model and operational semantics for instant messaging and presence," said Mark Day, co-chair of an IETF working group dedicated to IM. IM standardization by the EarthLink-Nifty group is the next logical step to come from an effort to allow their customers to "roam" on one anothers networks. For example, EarthLink members traveling to Japan now can dial in to a special number. While a similar service is provided to nonalliance ISPs by intermediary companies, McQuary said EarthLink and the other ISPs wanted to cut out the middleman. The group has also discussed ways to band together to buy equipment and services to take advantage of their combined size with large orders. These dynamics are taking place while media giants such as The Walt Disney Co. and Viacom conduct exploratory meetings with EarthLink, as they assess whether joining forces would make sense. International media companies and telecoms seeking to gain a U.S. presence have also expressed interest in talking to EarthLink, McQuary said. Wireless and broadband initiatives are becoming hallmarks of EarthLinks service, as it expands into an increasing number of devices. The company plans to add cable modems and satellite services to its offerings, which already include DSL, pagers and PCs. IM will be available in various countries and on various devices if the international efforts succeed.

Arlington, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Malcome Kennedy's touchdown catch in overtime helped No. 6 Texas A&M survive a scare with a 35-28 win over Arkansas.
The Aggies (5-0, 2-0 SEC) trailed by two touchdowns entering the fourth, but touchdown grabs by Edward Pope and Josh Reynolds rallied Texas A&M. Reynolds' 59-yard score tied the game with 2:08 left to set up overtime.
Texas A&M began the extra session with the ball and the first play saw Kenny Hill rifle a pass over the middle where Kennedy caught the ball and ran it in for a 35-28 lead.
Arkansas (3-2, 0-2) quickly faced a 4th-and-1, but Alex Collins was stuffed at the line and the Aggies held on for the win.
Hill finished the game 21-for-41 for 386 yards with four touchdown passes and an interception, with Pope catching two of the scores among his four receptions for 151 yards for Texas A&M.
"We just kind of came together as a group at halftime and knew we had to turn things up," said Hill. "It was tough mentally because we faced some adversity and we hadn't really faced any yet."
Brandon Allen was 15-of-27 for 199 yards and one score for the Razorbacks, who got rushing scores from Collins, Jonathan Williams and Sam Irwin-Hill.
It took just over a minute from the start of the game for the Aggies to get on the board, as a 51-yard kickoff return from Trey Williams set up a 13-yard touchdown run by Brandon Williams.
The Razorbacks came right back with an eight-play, 76-yard drive that Jonathan Williams finished off on a 9-yard run with just over nine minutes to play in the first.
Texas A&M recovered a fumble on Arkansas' next touch, but were unable to take advantage of the takeaway.
On the third play of the second quarter, Arkansas went on top as Collins took a handoff up the middle, cut past one defender and raced into the end zone on a 50-yard score and a 14-7 lead.
The Aggies answered on their ensuing touch as Hill found Pope for an 8-yard score with 10 minutes left in the half. The nine-play, 65-yard drive featured a 10-yard run from Hill on third down, followed by a 24-yard gallop from Tra Carson.
Following a 40-yard field goal miss from Josh Lambo, Arkansas faced a 4th- and-10 near midfield and lined up for the punt. Punter Irwin-Hill, though, took the snap around the left end, and raced all the way into the end zone for a 51-yard score and a 21-14 lead.
Arkansas added to its lead with five minutes to play in the third as Allen faked a handoff and went deep for AJ Derby, who caught the pass in-stride and raced in from 44 yards out for a 28-14 lead.
Early in the fourth, Texas A&M got within a score as Hill went deep for Pope, who came up with the ball and took it in for an 86-yard score and a 28-21 lead with 12 minutes to play.
Each team then punted twice and Arkansas was able to get into scoring position as John Henson lined up for a 44-yard field goal with just over 2 1/2 minutes to play, but he missed it well to the left and Texas A&M took over at the 27.
Two plays later, Hill hit Reynolds along the right sideline and he made a defender miss on the way to a 59-yard score and a tie game with 2:08 to play.
Former Aggies quarterback and Heisman Trophy-winner Johnny Manziel was on the Aggies sideline for the game, as his Cleveland Browns have the week off ... Texas A&M has won three in a row over Arkansas, but the Razorbacks still lead the series 41-27-3 ... Collins finished with 131 yards on 21 carries ...

EDF Backs Texas Demand Side Energy Laws
As economic growth continues to surge in Texas and the state suffers the effects of a shrinking water supply, growing population and rising summer temperatures, the Lone Star State urgently needs to approve energy policies aimed at reducing customers' reliance on the grid and fossil fuels in order to retain and attract new businesses – and to simply keep the lights on, according to a report by the Environmental Defense Fund.
The ongoing drought puts Texas' power plants at risk, threatening a return of the rolling blackouts caused by extreme winter conditions in 2011, according to The State of the Energy Crunch in Texas. Fortunately, EDF says, many of the solutions that are available also benefit people and the environment. The report suggests solutions like customer, or demand-side, resources such as demand response initiatives, which allow customers to voluntarily reduce peak electricity use and received a payment for doing so in response to a signal from their utilities, energy efficiency programs and increasing renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
A report by independent system operator the Electric Reliability Council of Texas suggests that the potential for achievable participation in demand response is 15 percent of capacity in Texas, making it the state with the most achievable potential energy from demand reduction potencial, EDF says.
The report also provides an overview of Texas legislation currently being considered by several committees in Texas' 83rd legislature. Specifically the EDF supports the following recommendations for the 83rd legislative session:
1. Allowing all customer classes to participate in electric markets either directly or through aggregators as is done in other markets in the US.
2. Fair compensation for consumers that provide services including demand response and excess electric generation from distributed, renewable generation.
3. The development of financing mechanisms like Property Assessed Clean Energy to enable businesses to develop clean energy and reduce water usage.
In October last year, the Public Utility Commission of Texas unanimously voted to double the price cap for wholesale electricity over the next three years, in a move aimed at encouraging investment in new generation. The PUC voted to raise the the cap to $5,000 a MWh on June 1, 2013, $7,000 a MWh on June 1, 2014, and $9,000 a MWh on June 1, 2015.

OSLO, Norway -- June 24, 2013 -- Mosart Medialab today announced that NRK, Norway's largest broadcaster, is extending its deployment of Mosart(R) automation from three central systems to include 12 of its regional news studios and an additional central system. With the completion of this project, all NRK facilities will enjoy the same efficiency, control options, and agile operation as the broadcaster's main studios in Oslo.
"We have worked with Mosart automation in-house for about four years, so when the Mosart tender met our specifications and proved to be the best buy, the choice to roll it out across all of our sites was easy," said Egil Johan Damm, project manager for NRK. "In doing so, we not only benefit from the solution's flexibility and interoperability, but we also achieve a standardization of news playout that will simplify support and the movement of staff among sites."
Mosart automation simplifies the many control tasks within the news production chain, giving operators efficient control and freeing specialized staff members to focus on enhancing the overall look and feel of the broadcast. The versatility of the Mosart solution ensures smooth integration with and control over new broadcast equipment and file formats, as well as the equipment already in use at NRK.
The system will interface with NRK's ENPS newsroom computer system story control and transform its rundowns into Mosart automation scripts to enable news production with just two operators in the gallery. Equally important to NRK is the way in which Mosart automation allows those operators to perform on-the-fly editing of headlines and to insert breaking news into the running order. The option to employ a touch screen GUI will further streamline gallery operations.
"NRK is the toughest competitor for our mother company, TV 2, in terms of capturing Norway's viewing audience," said John Kjellevold, managing director at Mosart Medialab. "Our double tender win with NRK, first for three central studios and now for an additional 13, proves that we are on top when objectively measured through the fair EU tendering system. With this contract, Mosart now has won 10 out of 12 EU tenders."
The installation of Mosart automation across NRK regional sites will start in Stavanger in October 2013 and continue in Bodø in November, with Bergen following, and the rest of the sites finished in 2014.
