Minecraft Pocket Edition headed to iOS later this year
We've been waiting awhile for an official Minecraft client for iOS, and it looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer. According to Pocket Gamer, Minecraft - Pocket Edition will debut for Android devices on September 29, but Minecraft developer Mojang has offered only a vague "before the end of the year" launch for iOS.
Minecraft - Pocket Edition has been an exclusive for Xperia Play so far, but its wider launch on Android devices means it's just a matter of time before the game comes to the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
A video of Minecraft - Pocket Edition running on a phone from Sony Ericsson is embedded below. The controls look quite intuitive, and scrolling around seems very smooth. If you're already addicted to Minecraft, things are only going to get worse for you later this year when you can take the game with you wherever you go.
Software Updates
more updates- Apple Remote Desktop updated with Yosemite support
- OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, iOS 8.1.3 updates now available
- Sports Illustrated 120 SPORTS channel comes to Apple TV
- Logic Pro X update brings AirDrop support, new effects, tools, and more
- Parallels Access 2.5 released, adds file manager, computer-to-computer remote access
- The Google Translate iOS app is about to get a lot smarter

Celtic boss Neil Lennon says Dundee United will prove a tough opponent in the club's first league home game of the new Scottish Premier League season.
The second-placed Hoops, who have won both of their opening matches (2-0 at Hibernian and 1-0 at Aberdeen), are preparing to meet the Terrors at Celtic Park tomorrow and Lennon is well aware of the dangers of Peter Houston's men who sit third with one win and two draws.
"We're pleased with the start we've made and our home form is going to be critical again this year," he told the club's official website.
"Dundee United are an excellent team, though, and have had some good results already this season.
"They've lost David Goodwillie but he's the only big player they've lost in the last year or two.
"Peter Houston always seems to find new ones over the year, though, and they seem to keep reinventing themselves, so as ever, they're going to be a threat."

Don't miss Katie Couric's 60 Minutes report this Sunday on a New York City charter school that pays teachers lots of money but gives them no tenure. ?What we're trying to do is build a school where every teacher is a great teacher,??The Equity Project?founding principal Keith Vanderhoek tells Couric. ?
It promises to be a good story. But I like the part where Couric says, with almost breathless bewilderment,?that $125,000 ?is a lot of money for a teacher in this country.??? Hah.? In New York City, as Katie should know,?that's practically homeless!
But stay tuned; rather, tune in, but don't drop out.
--Peter Meyer, Bernard Lee Schwartz Policy Fellow
There continues to be a lot of discussion around the idea of creating a ?common? curriculum to supplement the Common Core State Standards. Robert Pondiscio over at Core Knowledge applauds the move, arguing that, while the CCSS are ?praiseworthy,? they are ?not a curriculum?and are unlikely to amount to much?in the absence of a shared curriculum.? ?Tom Vander Ark cautions that moving to adopt a traditional curriculum is a mistake and that we should be thinking not about common curriculum, but rather about ?uncommon? delivery system that provides ?fully customized engaging learning sequences for every student.? (If you haven't already, it's also worth reading Pondiscio's scathing take-down of Vander Ark's idea.)
Unfortunately, I still think that these debates are missing the point, and potentially distracting states from allocating their now very scarce resources towards policies that have the potential to much more dramatically impact student achievement.
It's worth noting that, as a former curriculum director, I am a strong believer in the transformative power of curriculum. It is essential.
But, I sincerely believe that making curricular decisions at the state or?even worse?national level is a mistake. States would do better to create or adopt rigorous assessments and a strong state accountability system, and then to devolve ownership over student achievement results?and that includes curricular decisions?as closely as possible to the classroom.
Heading up the curriculum and professional development team at Achievement First, one of our early missteps was to focus on mandating?or...
The New York Times is on a roll with its education coverage, today reporting on everything from Obama in Boston to Rick Scott in Florida and rich schools in Bronxville.? And though I got slapped on the wrist yesterday by John Thompson for tweaking the purveyor of ?the best journalism in the world,? it is precisely because they are the best (according to Thompson, of course) that we watch them ? and, occasionally, critique them.
Florida Moves Teacher Bill Forward. It looks like new Sunshine state governor Rick Scott will right the wrong of his predecessor Charlie Crist, who vetoed a pioneering teacher evaluation reform bill last year ? what Andy Smarick called ?the most disappointing education policy decision by a major Republican officeholder in recent memory.?? The revived and revised bill, introduced by Florida legislator Erik Fresen, would link teacher evaluations to student performance, put new teachers on one-year contracts, and institute an evaluation system that would determine raises and firings. ??We are under siege,? the head of one teacher union told the Times. Yup. And it may be time for besieged teacher unions to start thinking of the besieged students who can't read or write.
A Merger in Memphis.? Voters in Memphis decided by a large margin on Tuesday to hand over the reins of their ?103,000-student public school system to their smaller -- ?47,000 students ? suburban neighbor in Shelby County, ?effectively,? as the Times reports, ?putting an end to...
[caption id="" align="alignright" width="307" caption="Photo by Stacy"][/caption]
With so much happening around collective bargaining in states from New Jersey to Wisconsin?and with so much unprecedented possibility for change?it's easy to get wrapped up in the moment. It's easy to get excited about the possibility of dramatically, and permanently, altering the status quo, of fully upending the apple cart. Of course, you should get excited. At best, public-union pensions and collectively bargained benefits are an unsustainable cost for states and districts attempting to live in this ?new normal.? At worst, they're an impediment to attracting strong teachers and realizing a stronger national education system.
But in all of the excitement over watching the ebb of public-sector-union power, over watching the apples roll away from the cart, we're failing to consider where those apples may roll and how we're planning on picking them up. Making changes to collective-bargaining rights, and to pensions and health-care benefits will surely save states and districts money. In Wisconsin, Governor Walker hinted that his proposed changes to the ruesome twosome of pensions and health-care benefits would save districts in the Badger State at least $1 billion over the next two years.
It will also, however, drop the net worth of a teacher's compensation package?dramatically. One analysis of Wisconsin's teacher-compensation structure, done by Robert Costrell, found that, for every dollar paid to Milwaukee public-school teachers and other employees, they receive 74.2 cents in...
I know it's an article of faith in the school-reform community that we should "differentiate" among teachers and pay them "differentially" too. Highly effective teachers should get paid more than mediocre ones; individuals willing to work in poor schools should get bigger paychecks than those serving the well-to-do; those in high-demand fields (like math and science) should get more than their peers. I get all of that, and generally agree.
I also understand that the "single-salary schedule" is seen as the nemesis to smart teacher policy. And that's also true. But what makes the single schedule so pernicious isn't just its uniformity; it's its growth curve. Twenty-five years veterans are paid a lot more than five-year veterans even though, on average, they are equally effective. Changing that curve is at least as important as introducing more differentiation in pay.
This isn't my idea, or a new idea. Two years ago, Duke economist Jacob Vigdor published an excellent article in Education Next, "Scrap the Sacrosanct Salary Schedule." His analysis can be summed up in the graphic below.
In all professions, new hires get paid significantly less at the start. But in fields like medicine and law, pay rises rapidly--as soon as employees boost their effectiveness and productivity from on-the-job experience. In education, on the other hand, pay rises slowly, even though teachers' effectiveness plateaus after as little as two (and no more than five) years...
It is encouraging to see the New York Times continue its blanket coverage of education issues and events, even if the nation's putative paper of record sometimes misses the mark (see my Inside the Bubble) and even though it insists on giving reform nemesis Michael Winerip full rein. The last couple of days are a Times education shout-out, mostly about what is now the hottest topic in education: teachers.
Class Size.? Sam Dillon, the current education heavyweight at the Gray Lady, takes on one of the big topics du jour: how many teachers is too many teachers (aka class size). It is perhaps an inevitable issue, given the budget cuts, but Dillon at least puts the subject in a cost-effectiveness context where it has always belonged.? Despite a paucity of evidence of the true value of class size reduction ? a Tennessee study from the 1980s remains one of the few solid research supports for class-size reduction proponents ?? and lots of evidence that?the impacts of our teacher-hiring frenzy have been?small and costly, class size ?will most likely wither as a hot-button?issue in the face of economic realities.?
Grading Teachers. The headline over Michael Winerip's story is intriguing: ?Evaluating New York Teachers, Perhaps the Numbers Do Lie.?? Winerip makes a convincing case for what Mike has dubbed ?Kafkaesque evaluation protocols. Writes Winerip, ?Those 32 variables are plugged into a statistical model that looks like one of those equations that iin `Good Will Hunting' only...
Take a look at this graph from Robert Costrell and Mike Podgursky's new report on pensions for the TIAA-CREF Institute:
The blue line is pension wealth accumulated by a teacher under Missouri's teacher pension plan who begins work at age 25. Note that the teacher earns essentially nothing until their 12th year of service and only five figures past their 20th year of service. Over the five years after that, the teacher's retirement wealth increases five-fold.
Lest you think this insanity is particular to Missouri, take a look at neighboring Illinois, where a new law revamping teacher pensions was just passed:
New teachers in Illinois can only hope to get their money back (at best) until they've been teaching for 26 years.
As I've mentioned before, this system can't help but attract highly risk-averse workers to the detriment of others. It creates a situation where the handful of teachers who never leave the profession or work outside the area covered by a given retirement system take money out of the pockets of everyone else. Unless you're one of those teachers, you'd be far better off with a higher base salary and a defined-contribution plan where your retirement wealth increases steadily as a function of your salary.
The Atlantic's Megan...
Education in Ohio, as in most of the country, is coming to terms with a challenging ?new normal,? as Arne Duncan calls it?the prolonged period ahead when schools must produce better results with diminished resources. The Buckeye State faces a daunting budget shortfall over the next two years, the resolution of which will powerfully affect K-12 education, which now consumes about 40 percent of the state's money. And Ohio's situation is far from unique.
Yet schools?in Ohio and beyond?can produce better-educated students on leaner rations so long as their leaders are empowered to deploy the available resources in the most effective and efficient ways, unburdened by mandates, regulatory constraints, and dysfunctional contract clauses. That's the message that comes through loudest from a new survey of the state's school superintendents. And again there's no reason to believe that Ohio's situation is unique.
While governors and lawmakers are responsible for balancing state budgets, it is district and school leaders who must make their schools work on tighter resources while still boosting achievement and effectiveness. Over the past year, as the Thomas B. Fordham Institute has organized various discussions, conferences, and symposia across Ohio on the big challenge of ?doing more with less? in K-12 education, we've been privy to innumerable comments?usually off the record?by superintendents and school leaders along the lines of, ?We could survive these cuts if we had real control over our budgets.? They called in...
?Teachers wonder, why the heapings of scorn?? is the front page headline over a Trip Gabriel story in today's New York Times. (The web version headline was shorter, better: ?Teachers wonder, Why the scorn??)? And, indeed, teachers have been taking it on the chin of late.? But as Checker notes, later in the story,
They are reaping a bitter harvest that they didn't individually plant but their profession has planted over 50 years, going from a respected profession to a mass work force in which everyone is treated as if they are interchangeable, as in the steel mills of yesteryear.
There is a lot to the bitter harvest.? The interchangeability problem is a deep and profound one --?it flies in the face of the autonomy that many teachers claim they deserve in their classrooms.? It undermines the argument ? rather, calls attention to the contradiction ? that making more teachers better or making better teachers will improve the system since the assembly line can operate no better or faster than its slowest worker.
In my district, it is painful to watch: hardworking, dedicated teachers paying dues to union reps to defend the rights of undedicated and ineffective teachers who defeat the value of their hard work and dedication. It is painful to read the comments to the NYT story.? Teachers feel demonized and victimized, without appreciating the fact that it is their unions which have done them ill ? and it is their unions which reformers...

"These gift tags were wonderful. I was worried they wouldn't stick well on mason jars, but they worked out great. The glue is strong enough that they didn't peel off on their own. The text above the names is a bit small but you could still read it up close. Overall, these are great and the price is fantastic. They looked beautiful on the mason jars (I had homemade jam wedding favours)."
"These tags will look great on my favors and on the bags that I give away for the people that book rooms at the hotel. They are stickers and match the entire collection that I purchased for my wedding invitation. The designers were able to set it that both initials fit and the date. It came out perfect!"
"I had these printed for the handmade soy candles we are giving away at my cousin's bridal shower. I was able to edit the text and pick the color I wanted. Worked out really well!"
"I didn't realize these favor tags are actually stickers. I was a bit surprised when they arrived yesterday. However, they are beautiful and the fact that they're stickers means it's less work for me in the long run."

It's hard to tell. I do know that the Chinese R making a killing-pun on words intended by supplying counterfeit drugs--- some drugs are out-dated and ineffective-some aren't made under sterile conditions which causes them to be mixed with other drugs-even toxins, or they are contaminated when being repackaged. Some are diluted and some are made with corn starch and questionable ingredients. I never thought that I'd see the day where the mafia looked honest. A nation that puts poison in the milk of it's own babies can't be trusted. Hospitals have even been tricked by counterfeit meds. search AMA-patient- The AMA puts out news about this. I'm on Medicare with an HMO. I'm allergic to tylenol, aspirin, Ibuprofin, advil-and I've spent over a month trying to get a pain killer for tendonitis and I'm not walking well.

I personally would not trust any online pharmacy with no prescription And if it is a scheduled drug it is NOT LEGAL to buy ANY schedule 2 narcotic online.You can do years in prison.Is it worth it?
Between being crippled with god knows what from a contaminated poison and being put in prison, I think that you have your answer. The sites that I've looked at haven't exactly had cheap prices either. Like I say, "i'm having back spasms-don't need opium or heavy duty stuff- the pharmacy wants $200 for something that will help me-and I'm in no man's land waiting for approval. Did I say that i had to buy special made shoes to try to walk? I buy my own stomach medicine-just need a script-been taking it since 1994-and the HMO didn't want the doctor to write me any more prescriptions. I asked them if they wanted to pay ER and hospital bills. No other med works. The committee decided that since I pay $80-$200 a month, they could write the script. My doctor is frustrated with all of this. He just wants to practice medicine.

Hello 30bo. Even with a valid prescription, I'd not order via the web/net. If there is a problem regarding your purchase, the quality, etc that would be a problem. Its also against federal and most state laws to purchase any drug without a perscription be it "online" or not. Best of wishes,pledge

It is a federal offense to purchase medications without a prescription, that require a Drs prescription in the US, no matter if they are controlled or not. You get into even MORE trouble if you are talking about controlled substances.
They are working very hard to get these sites shut down. It is NOT worth it!!
This is untrue. It is legal for a citizen of the U.S. to obtain three months of a non-scheduled prescription medication for their own use from an off shore pharmacy. Look it up. I have dealt with inhouse drugstore for years with no problems. They often have meds available in generic form, manufactured by US drug companies that are not available for us because of patent laws, These meds, manufactured for sale in other countries, are identical in quality and much less expensive than the brand name. In the past, I have purchased generic Fosamax, Estrogel, Patanol eye drops, and many others. I even get my dog's heartworm medicine! Shipping takes around 10 days at no cost. If you are trying to buy scheduled narcotics, pain relievers, anxiety drugs, etc., you will not find them here. That is against US law and any site that tries to sell you such drugs is not legitimate.
You have never heard of this? Grab your nearest prescription bottle. Somewhere on that bottle it will say "CAUTION FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS THE TRANSFER OF THIS DRUG TO ANY PERSON OTHER THAN THE PERSON FOR WHOM IT WAS PRESCRIBED" That means giving or selling a drug that requires a prescription, to another person other than the person who got the prescription from the Dr, is a federal offense! It doesnt matter what kind of drug it is, controlled substance or not, it is illegal to get them without a prescription

The majority of online pharmacies are illegal. If you want to check the legitimacy of an online pharmacy you can look up the pharmacy's site at www.legitscript.com. They also have a search engine to find a patient assistance program that may be able to pay for your medication. These programs do work and they will help you fill out the paperwork if you are not able to do it yourself.
You can call your doctor and ask if (s)he will see you for free or a reduced rate. If they cannot, they may be able to recommend another doctor that will see you. Your other option is to go to your state's medical services department and they should be able to help you get into a state program or direct you to a clinic that should be able to help you.
Just to be clear, any drug in the USA that is approved by the FDA requires a prescription issued by a doctor. No pharmacy licensed in the USA can dispense a drug without a prescription from a doctor. Good luck.
I had a friend about two years ago that was purchasing prescription medications online. Yes you need a prescription from a doctor. They provide the doctor and prescription. The meds always came from a licensed U.S. pharmacy. She called the number on the pill bottle and it came from same pharmacy with same doctors name every time as long as she used the same site. I am not saying it's legal or safe but most of these sites have everything covered. Some sites actually require you to give prescription info and doctor info.
The operative phrase here is 'in the USA'. These laws do not apply to offshore pharmacies. Regarding these, the law says that a citizen of this country may legally purchase a three month supply of a non-scheduled med for their own use, without a prescription. These meds, made in the USA by the same companies that manufacture the brand meds (Merck, Pfizer, etc) are identical in ingredients and quality. Big Pharma wants to sell their products even in countries that don't provide patent protection. We can't have their meds without paying through the nose, but in countries like India, they are available for a reduced price. When you buy from the offshore pharmacy, you pay the reduced price. No scrip required. All legal. The site you recommended is only going to list pharmacies in the US.

I have used a few online pharmacies. I think that the scare tactics of impurity are a little overblown, even our own government is importing certain drugs now due to national shortages. You do have the issues of patient-doctor relationship which doesn't really exist when your ordering online, could potentially get you in big trouble. My feeling is that the feds wouldn't waste their time on a individual ordering small, personsal use amounts when they can go after the big wigs. All depends what you feel comfortable with, just relaying my own experiences and personal choices.
hey tammy can u tell me which ones u have used? I take neurotin but my doc wont up me im needing some extra because im fixing to go thru opiate withdraws an i heard Neurotin works wonders!
There is nothing at all wrong with using an online pharmacy but if you use an online pharmacy to buy a prescription drug WITHOUT a prescription, you and the pharmacy are breaking the law!! If you are sending in a prescription from your Dr to an online pharmacy there is nothing wrong with that. That is not in dispute. It is the part about getting prescription drugs without a prescription. Any legit pharmacy will require you to have a prescription from the Dr. Grab your nearest Rx bottle and look on the label-somewhere on the bottle, it will say that Federal law prohibits the transfer of this drug to any person other than the person for whom it was prescribed. If you are getting a drug without a script, that requires a script, it is a federal offense. If you give your friend or family member some of your medication that was prescribed for you, you are commiting a federal offense! It is really just as bad as selling drugs on the street as far as the law is concerned!

Some companies are real but not many. Actually I have same problem because I'm using Xanax and I placed an order 2 years ago on a web-site. After that dozens of people were calling my number and demanding me to buy some medication from them. This is crazy because they even call on Sundays and on vacations, but I think I've found a way how to deal with scam pharmacy calls. I got a personal agent from the pharmacy I trust and whenever somebody gives me a call I do not hang up or start yelling or anything I calmly tell them that I have an agent and there is no point in calling me again. In most cases when they hear that I'm already dealing with somebody else, they do not call again.
Luckily there is the Internet, which is home to many Canadian pharmacies that ship to the U.S. These online stores have a much more affordable selection of many name brand drugs that in the U.S. would cost the consumer hundreds of dollars a month. Online retailers have opened the doors for U.S. consumers to take advantage of low Canadian drug prices.
For example DrugsinCanada.com features a vast selection of cheap medicine for things such as arthritis, hair loss, and erectile dysfunction. All of their name brand drugs are up to _25_% off what they would cost if you were to buy them in the states. That is the primary benefit of shopping with a Canadian pharmacy that ships to the U.S.A.
Can you please let me know how go get 10mg diazapam as I suffer terrible panick attacks, my doctor only had me on these for a while and now im seeing a consellor, he believes I shoulnt be taking medicine, and that I need to do therapy until im cured. I have been seeing a councilor for a year now but nothing has changed. I can hardly leave the house and just need something to help with the attacks if I need to go somewhere, help would be muchly appreciated. I live in Northern Ireland.

Was hoping someone had tried a, extract version of a Black IPA. Something similiar to the Southern Tier Inequity....
I slapped this recipe together on a whim: 7.5 lbs Ultralight Liquid Malt Extract 2 lbs Crystal Malt 60 - Steeped 30 min at 160 degrees 1 lb Black Patent Malt - Steeped 10 min at 160 degrees 1 oz Columbus Hop Pellets at 60 min 1 oz Bravo Whole Hops at 60 min 1 oz Cascade Whole Hops at 15 min .5 oz Simcoe Whole Hops at 15 min .5 Amarillo Whole Hops at 15 min 1 oz Cascade Whole Hops at 1 min 1 teaspon Irish Moss 1 oz Cascade Dry Hops in Secondary WYEAST Liquid American Ale Yeast.
How did it come out????
Adding 1/2 lb of Carafa III or Chocolate Wheat to the steep will turn any extract IPA recipe in to a decent CDA. Both of those grains are de-husked, which avoids flavors that clash with high hop flavor/aroma levels.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Yes, yes and yes. I really like chocolate wheat. The first time I ran across it, someone had rolled rum balls in it.

Tim Thomas: Playoffs ignited itch
Speaking Tuesday for the first time since returning to the ice, goaltender Tim Thomas said it did not cross his mind to play hockey again until watching his former Boston Bruins teammates reach the Stanley Cup finals.
"You know what really gave me the itch? Watching the playoffs," Thomas told reporters in Sunrise, Fla., where he is trying out for the Florida Panthers. "Actually, over the last season I didn't watch hockey at all. But then when it came playoff time, I started to watch some hockey and it started to get the competiveness juices flowing and I saw my former team, the Boston Bruins, and the success they had and I was so proud of those guys and what they did, what they accomplished last year, but it started to get the competiveness juices flowing again."
"Over the last season I didn't watch hockey at all. But then when it came playoff time, I started to watch some hockey and it started to get the competiveness juices flowing and I saw my former team, the Boston Bruins, and the success they had and I was so proud of those guys and what they did, what they accomplished last year, but it started to get the competiveness juices flowing again.
" -- Tim Thomas, on returning to NHL
It has been 16 months since the 39-year-old Thomas announced he was sitting out the final year of his contract to spend time with his family. The surprise announcement thrust backup Tuukka Rask into the starter's role, where he thrived last season.
During his hiatus, Thomas was off the radar, making his home in Colorado. He started a real estate business and built townhouses. He said he spent a lot of time with his kids and went on hunting trips. He said he even caught an alligator and turned it into a rug.
The Bruins last summer traded the rights to the two-time Vezina-winning Thomas to the New York Islanders, who made him a free agent when they decided not to toll his contract. Thomas returned to the ice in July, working out in Michigan, and on Monday agreed to a tryout deal with the Panthers.
Why Florida?
"I think this organization is on the verge of a big turnaround and a big bounce back," he said. "I've actually been through that in Boston before. When I first came into Boston in 2005-06, that was a low point for the Boston Bruins and I was able to see that rise in that organization. The Florida Panthers are situated in a similar situation.
"My time in Boston was great. I was very fortunate to have the type of personal and team success there. Great teammates, great area, the people of that area allowed me to almost be part of their family. This is a totally new start, totally new place and I'm looking forward to what's going to happen in the future here."
Thomas wouldn't speculate on how long he wants to play hockey, saying only he felt "rejuvenated, refreshed and ready to go."
Part of the reason the Panthers decided to offer Thomas a tryout is to add some experience to the goaltending position. Florida's starter is Jacob Markstrom, the 23-year-old Swede who went 8-14-1 with a 3.22 goals-against average last season.
"Nothing can replace experience is one of the things I've learned," Thomas said. "I remember being a young guy in the league and having people talk about experience and thinking experience is overrated. Now that I'm on the other end of the spectrum and I've been through it, I realize experience can be beneficial."
Markstrom didn't seem bothered in any way by Thomas' arrival.
"It's the best league in the world," Markstrom said. "It's not supposed to be easy. It's going to be a fun experience and I'm really excited."

Comments about Sperry Top-Sider Men's Gold A/O 2-Eye Boat Shoes:
I bought these shoes for my 14 year old athlete. It's what's in for high schoolers these days. He is hard on shoes, with his size 13 feet, is an understatement. First day he came home with scratches on the front of shoe (they are the light Tan color he insisted on), but with some internet advice, they look brand new & my son extols that they are the most comfortable shoes ever....at least until the next trend blows in. I used Kiwi Select Suede & Nubuck cleaner followed by their All Protector Rain & Stain Protector. Not only did it erase the scratches but did so w/o changing the color in the least. I recommend treating the shoes w the above products, or whatever reliable brand, as I can see the added attention
has already added to it's looks & lifetime.

With the upcoming Internet Explorer 9 Final release, (that supports HTML5) we are eager to experience the power of such interface on any mainstream web browser.
Internet Explorer 9 vs. Google Chrome 7 vs. Firefox 4 (Hardware Acceleration)
As Google Chrome 7 (dev) now includes hardware acceleration, guys from DownloadSquad decided to test it along with Internet Explorer 9 (developers preview) and Firefox 4 (beta).
What are the results?
Google Chrome 7 utilized the most of the hardware resources, delivering better FPS (frames per second) than Internet Explorer 9 or Firefox 4, which took the last place.
However, as those are not the final builds, don't draw your conclusions yet, things might change in the future.
Thanks to geek for the news tip.

10 Cities Poised For Greatness in 2013
Marseilles, France
Each year, the European Union selects a Capital or Capitals of Culture to showcase not only the continent's rich heritage, but vibrant artistic and creative spirit. Marseilles seems like a bit of a gimme in this regard.
Sidled up to the Mediterranean along the Cote-de-Azur in the South of France, the city has had art in its veins since the paleolithic era gave the area its first cave paintings. Founded by the Greeks, bolstered by the Romans and besieged and sickened by just about everyone in between, Marseilles has always had the food of surrounding Provence and a steady stream of music to get it through the tough times.
From the moment visitors arrive in its glass-enclosed train station (and they certainly should try getting there by rail or TGV to take in the surrounding countryside), there's an apparent otherness to the town that its Capitals of Culture events should only enhance. A cardboard city is already under construction, venues have been built and the area's surrounding cattle herds are being prepared for a trip into the city for one big, smelly living art event. Remember, it's not strange, it's Marseilles.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Drupal Give: Recent Activity
Spent time on updating the Drupal.cz (local Czech Community) to the latest Pressflow, made updates of all modules and migrated the site to a new platform (Acquia Cloud, sponsored under the free community hosting programme). Wrote a post on how to make changes on the community site through Github and how to deploy them on the new platform - now any community member can contribute to the site.
Shared part of the code used to lock the Managed Cloud Workflow UI when a long task is triggered, built as a standalone module that displays an overlay layer blurring the screen, with a nice spinner in the middle. Currently in my sandbox http://drupal.org/sandbox/mariano/1425040 being reviewed by the community to be released as a full module.
Jakub and I presented at DrupalCon Denver an educational session on Drupal security focused on developers: http://denver2012.drupal.org/program/sessions/drupal-security-coders-how...
See the presentation at: http://prezi.com/-ox5sthescyl/drupal-security-denver/
At a rough guess at least 150 people were in the room to listen.
I reviewed patches for Drush 5 and just released Drush 5.0-RC5. Drush Make in particular got some new improvements like #1452564 by jamsilver, Steven Jones: Allow making of specific projects/libraries.
Customized and styled the schedule and attendee list pages for Drupalcon Denver.
Reviewed and committed patches for security.drupal.org. For example, users who are granted access to an issue are now notified by email.

Convenience to wonderful restaurants. Convenience to metro. Convenience to beach
United States of America
The room was comfortable, clean and modern. The only thing is that the tv wasn't that good and we didn't have a remote control available. Breakfast was delicious and full of options, I would say even better than the ones offered in the same hotels in the US.

friendly staff,very convenient location,good metro conection,good wifi,very clean...
Lovely service, room was cleaned properly, very comfy bed. Close to metro stations (3 minutes). The breakfast was very tasty as well.
Hard to tell...
The value for money is really excellent. The personnel was very helpful. The room was quite comfortable and very clean. The location is only 5 minutes walk to the metro station. The wifi was free. The breakfast was ok. Very good choice. I recommend it in any case.
We read negative reviews about congestion at breakfast time and about uncomfortable sofa bed for children but it was ok in our case. The sofa bed indeed is not the best and can be uncomfortable for 2 children but for 1 it was ok. The breakfast was good and varied, almlost comparable to 4 star hotels. The room was clean. The check in and out were easy and the staff provided us with maps and advice. Parking on weekend is not difficult in the surrounding area as it is usually a paid zone but free on weekends. Hotel parking 20 euros per day but we did not have to use it.
Lack of fruit at breakfast. Did not like the carpet floors although in our room it appeared clean. The carpet in the corridors was very dirty, at least on the 4th floor. We were three but only 2 sets of towels were provided. Also, no toiletries at all are provided. There is a poorly visible note on the wall that in case guests needed any, they could ask at the reception.
Travelled in December. Neat and clean room. Helpful staff. Breakfast is OK. If you are early, it was not as crowded as mentioned. Free internet. Walking distance to metro station. Good price for this quality. Definitely would stay again, if I come to BCN.
Nothing really.
The breakfast and WiFi were included in the price. The room was comfortable. The beach was very close by, so running on the beach was awesome.
It was too hot in the room at all times. The room was small for 4 people. Farther from the city so the only way to the city was metro or taxi.
Free Wi-Fi was fast. Staff member was accommodating when we had an emergency. Breakfast staff was superb in keeping up with a busy service.
A different staff member was rude. The mattress is hard and thin (maybe some people will like that). Family room was cramped. Thermostat control follows an unusual logic - a higher number equates to a lower temperature - with no instructions for use. Parking garage lacks signage and is barely suitable for larger vehicles. Breakfast buffet needs to be re-engineered to accommodate lines by food/drink categories as the mix of cultures and children results in a free-for-all instead of one working queue.
Room was very stuffy all d time even after running the aircon most of the time, basin in bathroom cud hv been bit bigger and little shallower, room lighting cud be improved. B'fast cud be dramatically improved by improving the qlty of coffee, tea and milk (it was no milk), nothing more cud be asked in this price. Wi-fi was good. Staff was supportive and efficient. Overall fair to good for the price.
Food, bar, staff, everyday cleaning were good.
Room was too small to call as family room. Also there was nothing e.g, table, to keep the belongings.
Convenience to wonderful restaurants. Convenience to metro. Convenience to beach
Nothing...everything was great. If anything, I wish the hotel had bicycle rental kiosks. The ones down the street are for local residents only.
excellent location. breakfast included. good value for the money
Housekeeping was quick to make the beds although it wasn't necessary each day, I appreciate it. Thank you Momo for making the check-in process effortless and answering any additional questions/requests. Also the continental breakfast each morning helped the day along- especially the croissants! Each morning the croissants were soft and warm :)
The shower tiles/walls were covered in mold and/or mildew, which could have easily been removed using bleach and scrubbing. Also what is the purpose of the single glass door attached to the tub? It doesn't stop the shower water from spraying all over the bathroom because the door doesn't cover the length of the tub.
The breakfast was good
the mattress was terrible and the level of cleaning was very low
Very helpfull staff
Small room for 4 pers vs price per night
The location was excellent, the staff was friendly and the hotel itself was great. They even had WiFi for free.
The breakfast area is not that good. The seating position as well as serving area should be improved so that people have enough space to get breakfast. Also there should be space to put your plate somewhere while getting the food on the plate. We had to hold it in our hands and as people where walking everywhere to get the food they wanted, we had to watch out so that it doesn't fall. Also I would welcome more variations of fruit and food to choose from. Otherwise it is an excellent hotel.
Location ok but would stay further out, or pay more as metro so efficient
Kids beds not made on arrival at 23h. Beds exceptionally uncomfortable. Road noise. Guest noise unacceptable including knocking on doors, poor insulation, tv noise. Bathroom v dirty. No sanitary bags. Breakfast dreadful! Nothing fresh. Coffee vile. Atmosphere stark. Felt v unsafe/uncomfortable. No safe in room, only at reception. Stay at HI express a lot and this hotel doesnt live up to standard. Would not return.
Wifi was free. Metro station at 5 mins walking. Located close to the nice Rambla del Poblenou with lots of small restaurants.
Family room available Clean Good selection of continental breakfast Good restaurants within easy walking distance 5 minute walk from Metro
not very picturesque surroundings Felt uneasy in certain parts at night
The staff were polite and helpful in giving tourist advice. The hotel is just a short walk from the metro.
The mattress on the main bed was very uncomfortable. It was a sprung mattress and the coils could be felt just by sitting on the edge of the bed. The area was a little shoddy and not ideal for walking out alone at night.
Easy access to shops and transport systems.Staff were friendly and helpful,all in all a good hotel
Personnel very friendly
Breakfast vitaminless, small room for 4 persons, too far from the city

Letter: In hindsight
Arthur J. Stevens, Naples
In hindsight
When the Penn State football scandal first broke, some people were rushing to the defense of Joe Paterno and his involvement in it.
Paterno's sympathizers should have considered how he would have acted had it been his son, or the son of a dear friend, who was being abused by his assistant Jerry Sandusky.
Paterno deserves all the shame being heaped upon him.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Posted: 03/19/2014 1:00 AM | Comments: 0
The Avs have five players who have hit the 20-goal mark this season: leading scorer Matt Duchene (22 goals, 66 points), Ryan O'Reilly (25 goals), Gabriel Landeskog (20), Nathan MacKinnon (23) and Paul Stastny (20).
You can say they love offence, but Colorado has protected leads well, going 32-0-2 so far when leading games after two periods.
The team's road winning streak ended at four games with Tuesday night's 6-3 loss in Montreal, the margin two late penalties that led to Habs power-play goals, plus an empty-net goal.
Colorado has won just three of its last six, but that span includes a 3-2 overtime win at home over the Jets.
The Avs and Jets have played nothing but one-goal games this season, Colorado winning three of the four, one in a shootout and another in overtime. Winnipeg's only win in the series, in Denver, was in overtime.

A Profile of Today's Youth
A FEW years ago, I come across a study made by advertising agency McCann Ericson. In that study were highlights that still hold true until this time. It is my hope that fellow parents will welcome them, as I did, as eye-openers.* HIGHLIGHT NO. 1: THE NEW SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTMalls are everywhere in the country; they are no longer confined to Metro Manila. Options are now available when one wishes to make a phone: landline or cellular phone? Computer games, the Internet, and various forms of mass media have a profound impact on the lifestyles and psyche of today's youth. Young people in Internet cafes chat with virtual strangers over the Net, or play computer games with people they know next to nothing about, send and receive e-mails across thousands of miles in a matter of minutes.* HIGHLIGHT NO. 2: NEW ATTITUDES TOWARD SCHOOLThe youth generally enjoy going to school. But what they really like most in school are not so much the teacher's lectures but taking part in activities like sports, group projects and the like, all of which involve positive interaction with their friends and classmates.Students are not studying as much as they used to following the emergence of more appealing enticements like the malls, the fast food outlets, text messages, Internet cafes, and cable TV.These circumstances may well indicate that the youth no longer respond well to traditional methods of learning. This possibility raises the need for new teaching approaches that do not run counter to their more multi - faceted lifestyles and interactive environment.* HIGHLIGHT NO. 3: SHIFTING VIEWS ON PARENTING STYLESThe youth usually get to spend more time with their mothers at home. Inevitably, moms go to greater lengths to interact and communicate with their children.Many of the youth see their fathers as the absolute authority in the home, but do not necessarily enjoy a strong relationship with him beyond a pseudo-functional one (i.e., Father is the breadwinner). Fathers may either not be living with the family at home (being employed abroad, for example) or may simply not be as accessible as the mom.Over the years, however, because of the shifting views of the youth, parents have begun to recognize the need to re-think their parenting styles, or at least spend more time with their children. They now want their children to perceive them more as friends rather than just mere authority figures.* HIGHLIGHT NO. 4: SOME HAVE MORE MONEY THAN OTHERSDespite the rapid changes in the physical and social environment, money remains important to the young. …
