Should Foodstamps buy Soda and Chips
The outspoken mayor of NYC wants to see the size of soda cups kept to under 16 ounces. Even though the
American Public is not happy about that, does he have a well-taken point to his approach on obesity?
Should food-stamp recipients be able to buy soda and those ever-addictive chips with their minimal
food stamp allowance?
This is something we should take seriously. Maybe these types of junk food should be banned from
being purchased by Food Stamp recipients? Food stamps should buy nourishing food for families. Chips
and soda are expensive and consume much of the allowance the family is allotted for food.
What are your thoughts? I bet this one will come under the heading "Discrimination of Food Stamp

I have pieced together a map where I pass in a string of addresses and it creates markers for the various locations. For UI tools/components I have only added the following:
components: [
new nokia.maps.map.component.Behavior(),
new nokia.maps.map.component.ZoomBar()
This works and displays properly on my development server but when I publish the same exact code to my production server the map still pulls up the locations but also has what appears to be an extra layer over the top and right side of the map that displays a black box across the top 25% of the map and the following string 5 times with the last number incrementing each time along the right:
...and so on.
If I remove the ZoomBar() from the components list the extra layer disappears and the map is clean and functional but obviously does not have the visible ZoomBar which my users would like to see, especially if they do not have a scroll wheel to zoom with on their mouse or laptop.
I would be glad to post a small screen shot but my forum permissions state I cannot add an attachment.
Any idea why the ZoomBar would display properly on one server and not another?

Eastern Sierra Rugby Club was tougher on defense in its rematch with the Belmont Shore club, but still fell in its final game of the regular season, March 31.
The Jacks matched the same number of points, 12, scored against Belmont during their first meeting and held the top ranked team to 16 fewer points.
The 46-12 loss puts the Jacks into an equally tough first playoff berth, on the road April 21.
Bishop BroncosŌĆÖ Booster Bunco
The Bishop Broncos Booster Club will hold its annual Bunco event, Saturday, April 28 at 6 p.m. at the Tri-County Fairgrounds.
Tickets are $20 and are available from most coaches or contact Stacy Van Nest at (760) 873-4275 ext. 226. The Boosters are also accepting donations for silent auction items.
Bishop Tennis Club Looking for New Members
With its Spring Tournament coming up April 21, the Bishop Tennis Club is encouraging new memberships with reduced tourney rates.
Challenger Sports will be holding its British Soccer Camp in Bishop, June 18-22 and July 9-13 at Bishop City Park.
The camps run from Monday through Friday and each child will be coached by a member of ChallengerŌĆÖs team of British soccer coaches.
ChallengerŌĆÖs new coaching syllabus provides an innovative daily regimen of foot-skills, moves, juggling, tactical practices and daily tournament play.
Friday afternoon was not a bright spot for Lone Pine Golden EaglesŌĆÖ fans.
The Boron Lady Bobcats leveled the Lady Eagles softball team 3-14. The baseball match-up wasnŌĆÖt much better with a 9-15 loss for Lone Pine.
The combination of strong Boron teams and errors from Lone Pine was fatal.
ŌĆ£Our offense was good,ŌĆØ said baseball coach Chris Riesen, ŌĆ£we just have to work on our pitching and defense. WeŌĆÖre a competitive team but not an overpowering team. We canŌĆÖt make mistakes. We had too many walks and too many errors.ŌĆØ
Despite strong winds and tough terrain, the Bishop Broncos golf team came away from Desert HighŌĆÖs home course with a win.
Brendon Shibley medaled with a 79, followed by Raimundo Huarte in second with an 82.
BishopŌĆÖs team score, 423, was 95 strokes below second-place Kern Valley and 101 strokes below host Desert.
ŌĆ£Conditions were windy,ŌĆØ said coach Shirley Ono, ŌĆ£with tough pin placements and sloping greens. Short or spinning approach shots onto the many elevated greens were unforgiving and punitive.
ŌĆ£The Broncos played well and displayed smart shot-making given the conditions.ŌĆØ
The Bishop JV softball team took on the Lee Vining varsity Lady Tigers last Thursday in a lop-sided 0-10 loss.
ŌĆ£We had to adjust our defense and offense due to injuries and illnesses,ŌĆØ said coach Patty Cummings. The timing couldnŌĆÖt have been worse as Lee Vining always fields strong teams.
ŌĆ£Tailer Marks did a great job at shortstop as did Tiarney Andreas at catcher and Tamia Shoshone on the mound,ŌĆØ Cummings said.
Shoshone struck out six, had two walks; the Broncos defense committed four errors.
Hunter Safety Course
A hunter safety course will be co-hosted by Bill Eddy, local game warden Shane Dishion and the City of Bishop.
The class will be offered April 16-19 from 3:30-5:30 p.m. at the Home Street Middle School.
For more information, or to register, call (760) 873-6973.

As many nonprofits have grown larger, they are adopting concepts and tools from the private sector to improve their own operations and effectiveness. For such growth and adaptation to continue, it is important to understand how knowledge is transferred across sectors. Describes a pioneering study of marketing knowledge transfer based on the experiences of executives in relatively large nonprofit organizations who migrated across sectors. Reveals that the use of marketing concepts and tools in the nonprofit sector is much lower and offers explanations rooted in cultural and organizational differences. Recommends more cross-sector transfer of marketing knowledge.

So when will we see PPAPI in Firefox?
Phoronix: Chrome 20 Takes Over Adobe Flash On Linux
Google's Chrome web-browser reached version 20 yesterday and for Linux users this marks the point that the web company has taken over Flash Player support on Linux from Adobe using its PPAPI implementation...
So when will we see PPAPI in Firefox?
Why doesn't Mozilla Firefox support PPAPI (Pepper)?
Bad bad bad , corruption image , problems with alsa , lost frames...:/, horrible ( ATI HD 4650, catalyst 12.4)
I suppose this is a chrome only thing or is/will it be possible to take advantage of this with chromium?
Chrome began lightweight but has turned into bloatware. My current Chrome install is about 107MB while Firefox 42MB. Firefox also starts faster while it was the opposite when Chrome first appeared.
1 - The syncronization (It is simply a mess... you have to store the key somewhere to simply not loose it, and If you loose that key you have to reset and key and by consequence reset all firefox have syncronized until that moment...)
2 - The Instability (Just yesterday, trying Firefox for 10 minutes, and it Freezed my Gnome Session 3 times, I had to hard reset because I couldn't press any key or move anything)...
Appart of that I am just waiting for Firefox to get a little more stable and a better Syncronization option in order to switch back... Because we have to admit... Chrome is getting worse and worse, bigger day after day, and even Fedora don't want Chromium on their official repositories even know that it is opensource (ou can read this post explaining why http://ostatic.com/blog/making-proje...isnt-in-fedora).

Gemcitabine Hydrochloride and Cisplatin With or Without Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With Advanced Urinary Tract Cancer
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This randomized phase III trial studies gemcitabine hydrochloride, cisplatin, and bevacizumab to see how well they work compared with gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin in treating patients with urinary tract cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin are more effective when given with or without bevacizumab in treating patients with urinary tract cancer.

Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Randomized Double-Blinded Phase III Study Comparing Gemcitabine, Cisplatin, and Bevacizumab to Gemcitabine, Cisplatin, and Placebo in Patients With Advanced Transitional Cell Carcinoma
- Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From date of randomization to date of death due to any cause, assessed up to 7 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The Kaplan- Meier product-limit estimator will be used to estimate the OS. The stratified log-rank statistic will be the primary analysis to compare the two treatment arms on OS with the stratification factors: presence of visceral metastases (no, yes) and prior chemotherapy (no, yes). In addition, the proportional hazards model will be used to assess the importance of the treatment arm adjusting on patient characteristics, stratification variables and other important covariates in predicting OS.
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From the date of randomization to date of progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 7 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The primary analysis of PFS will be a two-sided stratified log-rank test comparing arm A and arm B. The stratification factors will consist of the two stratification factors used for patient randomization: prior nephrectomy (yes vs. no) and Motzer score (0 vs. 1−2 vs. 3+). Results from unstratified log-rank tests will also be provided. Kaplan-Meier methodology will be used to estimate median PFS for each treatment arm.
- Objective response rate (defined as confirmed complete and partial responses) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test will be used to compare the two arms on the proportion of patients who experience an objective response adjusting on the stratification factors (presence of visceral disease [no, yes] and prior chemotherapy [no, yes]).
- Grade 3 or greater treatment-related toxicity using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 7 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The Fisher exact test will be used to compare the two treatment arms on the proportion of patients with unacceptable treatment related grade 3 or higher toxicity.

Detailed Description:
I. To determine if patients with advanced transitional cell carcinoma treated with bevacizumab, gemcitabine (gemcitabine hydrochloride) and cisplatin will have increased overall survival when compared to patients treated with gemcitabine, cisplatin, and placebo.
I. To compare the progression-free survival of these two regimens in patients with advanced transitional cell carcinoma.
II. To compare the proportion of patients who experience an objective response on each regimen.
III. To compare the grade 3 and greater toxicities in patients treated on the two regimens.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8, cisplatin IV over 1 hour, and placebo IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive placebo IV over 30-90 minutes every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM II: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin as in arm I. Patients also receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for up to 7 years.

Medallia helps companies in almost every industry on the planet improve their customer experience. Here's a small selection of what we do for some specific industries.
Medallia helps companies in almost every industry on the planet improve their customer experience. Here's a small selection of what we do for some specific industries.
Medallia understands that businesses as customers are different than consumers. Their financial value is almost always higher, and the sales process is more intensive. We help you track the customer experience across different users, influencers and decision makers, and then route these performance indicators across your organization so it learns and improves. That's why two of the world's top three accounting firms, multiple Fortune 50 industrial conglomerates, the world's leading provider of food services and facilities management, and the world's largest energy distribution company all rely on Medallia.
Medallia offers a customer experience management solution specifically designed for retailers — it is used not only by America's largest luxury retailer, but also by a retailer with some of the highest profitability per square foot in the world. Our comprehensive retail customer solution makes it easy for your entire organization to deliver winning experiences while overcoming the unique obstacles of retail.
Collect feedback from all of your customers, including anonymous ones, across every touchpoint. Even with limited or no customer contact information, you can achieve retail-industry-leading response rates in a frictionless, practical way with Medallia's:
Retail can be a tough, burn-out business for employees. Medallia helps transform frontline employees into customer experience professionals who find meaning in their work. Our solution links feedback to individual employees by:
The result, according to our customers, is a surge in employee engagement.
Facilitate data sharing at the store level —
even without widespread computer access.
A key to delivering excellent customer experiences is consistency over time and across employees. To get everyone on the same page — including frontline employees who may not have ongoing internet access — Medallia delivers:
To fully leverage your POS data, Medallia integrates it with your customer experience feedback so you can understand the financial impact of:
PMS, RevPAR, CRS, GDS, Folio… at Medallia, we know the hospitality, travel and leisure business. We help 9 of the world's 10 largest hospitality companies improve their customer experience. With our comprehensive offering, you can think of us as your one-stop shop for guest satisfaction.
Our feedback solution for group business, including large conventions, corporate meetings, and weddings, gives you detailed satisfaction information about all meeting planner touch points, enabling you to improve everything from the initial sale to the on-site contacts and event servicing.
We tailor our employee opinion tracking and analysis to the needs of hotels, including phone surveying for low-literacy employees, multilingual surveying for non-English speakers, and ongoing pulse surveying for high-turnover workforces.
Hospitality teams typically do not sit behind computers. Medallia delivers actions and insights to your team anywhere on your property via our mobile application, and makes them relevant to every member of your team through our mobile role-based reporting.
The car buying experience has changed a lot in the last decade. Product quality between manufacturers has narrowed to the point where, by itself, it is rarely enough. To win and retain customers requires delivering an exceptionally strong total experience — not just in product, but in sales and service, too. Medallia equips frontline dealer staff to deliver such an end-to-end experience — which is why the largest auto company in the world uses us to improve the automotive experience, and why we're inside the big three luxury manufacturers, too.
Your brand might own your brand experience — but your dealers own the everyday sales and service experience. Medallia's track record in helping brands improve the customer experience in highly franchised environments is unparalleled. Our solution not only generates deep insight into automotive customers, but also guides frontline dealer staff to deliver an experience that lives up to your brand promise. Fully utilized, Medallia has the power to transform customers into promoters — who create great word of mouth for your dealers.
It used to be that most of our interactions with banks, insurance and investment firms were in person. Today, that's no longer the case. But these new channels of interaction haven't decreased the importance of customer experience — if anything, they have only increased it. With Medallia, every interaction becomes an opportunity for financial services and insurance companies to turn a transactional customer into a lifetime one. And that's why the world's largest insurer, the world's largest mutual fund company, and a range of the world's other leading financial services institutions rely on Medallia.
The telecommunications industry is one of the most competitive in the world. The cost of acquiring customers is high, competition is fierce, and customer profitability is directly tied to retention. In this environment, loyalty can no longer be bought. You must earn it by offering your customers a great experience. Medallia helps telcos on nearly every continent on the planet (we're still working on Antarctica) improve their customer experience.

Van Halen Tour Announcement Coming Soon???
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Is Van Halen getting ready to announce that it's heading back out on the road? That seems to be the sense that HenneMusic is getting from a photo posted online by singer David Lee Roth. The picture merely shows Roth and his beloved sheepdog Russ sitting on the floor of what looks like it could be the backstage area of a sports arena, with a caption that reads, "Start spreadin' the . . . "
The Van Halen camp has been mostly quiet since last spring, when it canceled 31 summer tour dates due to exhaustion on the part of the band members.
Later that summer, a severe bout of the inflammatory intestinal affliction diverticulitis sent guitarist Eddie Van Halen to an emergency room and then surgery, after which he needed four to six months of recovery time.
Van Halen launched what was supposed to be a lengthy world tour last February in support of A Different Kind Of Truth, its first studio album in 14 years and its first with Roth on vocals since 1984.
The group is scheduled to play three shows in Japan in late June, but no other dates have been confirmed anywhere else so far.
Eddie's son, bassist Wolfgang Van Halen, has spent the downtime touring with Tremonti, the band fronted by Creed/Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti.

Most Helpful Reviews
Nothing like being forced to buy something I did not need. The only option for converting my new Kenmore grill from propane to natural gas was to buy the associated natural gas conversion kit. The kit costs about $70. The problem, the kit includes an expensive hose and fittings that I did not need as I already had the same hose on my older grill. All I needed was the brass fittings to make the changeover to NG. Additionally, for reasons known to no one, the orifice for the rear searing burner is NOT included in the conversion kit but is supposedly included with the grill itself. Why would Sears include this one part for conversion but not any of the others. Forcing me to buy something I did not need makes me hesitate before buying Sears appliances in the future. When I questioned Sears about the hose, their answer is that the kit comes from the manufacturer (Kenmore) that way. Really? Isn't Kenmore Sear's own label?

For the price, this conversion is worth it. I think the small percentage of buyers that use natural gas make it less likely that this would come standard with the unit. All you are doing is replacing all the jets in the burners and ceramic units to accommodate the larger natural gas openings and adjusting some vents. This is all great. Now the biggest and most difficult problem....getting the plastic knobs off the grill to adjust the flow!!!!! I am a reasonable strong person and it took me no less then 15 minutes of pulling, shaking, sweating, swearing, and nearly breaking these knobs. They are plastic, so anything else other then your hands pulling them will break them. I don't really thing they are designed to come off and why they are on so tight I have no idea. Once you get one off, you will see they do come off but then you realize you have another 6 to go. I had model Item # 071VA74064812P if this helps. So it can be done, I have the blisters on my hands to prove it. Once completed, it fired right up, no issues.

Make sure you follow directions that come with your specific grill. Instructions with kit are for many different grill models numbers. If you have difficulty finding your grill model number, call Sears helpline. They will tell you where to locate it. Otherwise, follow directions in your owners manual for your grill, if you are certain this is the right kit. Instructions do not indicate anything about sealing the threads to your NG source connection. Consult a plumber if you are not comfortable making that connection. Otherwise, this product works as long as you follow the instructions to a T.

The Third Wave
The 2010 free agent class is unprecedented in many ways. Never before has a group of athletic mercenaries been so thoroughly dissected, endlessly analyzed, and hotly anticipated. Once the shenanigans begin on July 1st, all sorts of fun will be had, as so many franchises across the league will y be either destroyed or reborn in a cleansing fire.
Now, pay close attention, because while everyone is paying attention to the glitter at the head of the class, plenty of interesting things will be going on at the tail. Players like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are proven and invaluable, but the summer will also yield completely untested prospects: undrafted free agents. In a typical NBA off-season, that doesn't mean much; occasionally a team may unearth a role player from the undrafted ranks, but even that only happens on the rarest of occasions. Yet the survivors of this year's draft seem a bit different. There obviously aren't any earth-shaking talents in the bunch, but there are a number of interesting players that are viable candidates not only for a Summer League roster, but perhaps a spot on the Legends or even more.
Obviously not all of those prospects are going to pick Dallas over all of their other suitors, but the early returns are promising. Despite a mini-report from Jeff Goodman of Fox Sports, a Twitter exchange between St. Mary's center Omar Samhan and Mark Cuban indicates that Samhan will indeed be a part of the Mavs' Summer League team. Harvard point guard Jeremy Lin is also tabbed as a part of the fun. That's a hell of a start, especially since Rodrigue Beaubois and Dominique Jones will headline. It should be interesting to see how the rest of the Vegas roster turns out.
Unfortunately, the Mavs have to do without a number of players they had expressed a clear interest in.
- Brian Zoubek is set to play with the Nets for Orlando Summer League, though his Vegas plans are still up in the air.
- Tweety Carter, too, will be playing for New Jersey.
- Jon Scheyer will reportedly lace up for the Miami Heat…or maybe it's the Washington Wizards. Either way, it's assuredly not Dallas.
- Virginia's Sylven Landesberg is set to join a rather promising draft class in Sacramento. Landesberg may have more potential than any of the undrafted free agents, and while Sactown could eventually be a great landing place for him, to see him drifting away is disappointing. Ryan Thompson will tag along.
- Perplexing big man Michael Washington will be a Knick.
- Elijah Millsap will have a run with the Detroit Pistons.
- And plenty of others — Sherron Collins, Art Parakhouski — are taken (in some capacity), too. That doesn't mean the Mavs won't be able to make a run at them after Summer League concludes if they're so inclined, but it likely puts them at a slight disadvantage to the incumbents.
There are plenty of prospects still out there (Mikhail Torrance, Charles Garcia, Mac Koshwal, Aubrey Coleman, etc.), but the demand for these players is clear. By now, I'm sure the appropriate calls have already been placed. That makes the process less of a selection and more of a waiting game. The Summer League roster should be assembled in about a week's time, which doesn't leave much time for anticipation. Still, it's worth keeping tabs on the unclaimed third round draftees over the next few days.

Before a business can legally start operating, it needs to take care of a number of pesky requirements with governmental agencies. Finding out what you need can be like putting together a jigsaw puzzle without knowing what it should look like.
Nearly all businesses in operation today are required to have one or more licenses, permits, or tax registrations to ensure that they meet government-mandated guidelines for safety, soundness, and tax. Additionally, if a business has employees or sells taxable goods or services, it needs to be registered with relevant taxing authorities. These requirements vary by industry and depend on how and where the business operates.

This time, I may actually do something. I know I said that a month ago, but I'm in a dry spell right now, and I need some writing to pull me out of this block.
Count me in. *tips hat*
You could do what I do and just overconsume rummy eggnog until sparklie lights just start to magically appear. You know... shortly after ricocheting your way down the hall for yet another glass of yummy rummy eggnog ;)
Fung Koo's eggnog. Made with the finest eggs and the freshest nog.
(Oh George Carlin, I miss you.)
... if you can't find any nog, try using your noggin.
All I can think of is Topol singing "Tradition". It doesn't make for that good of a story.
Yummy Egg Nog. With rum or without - I love it. Well I have an idea this month that did not take too much head scratching to come up with for a change. I have been inspired by the season so prepare yopurselves for a Christmas tale. You'll likely all hate it b/c it is sure to have a happy ending too.
Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Batman Smells...Robin Laid an Egg...Batmobile lost a wheel and the Joker got away...Hey! Everyone join in. Now where did I put my nog.
Heh. I have my story written and I'm just waiting to do one more edit and I can submit it. Unfortunately, my husband is doing his whole "work at home day" thing and is hogging the good computer. This one doesn't even have Word on it...and the keyboard buttons stick...and...and...and...it just sucks. :rolleyes:
Anyway, I spent a few hours yesterday and the story just flowed out. It's neither holly nor jolly, but it'll do. Well, we'll see. :cool:
Eggnog? I want some...
Gee I am surprised that someone has not posted a story yet. No doubt HE will be in soon. Guess thats why they call it flash.
So cinnamon in your nog...yea or nay?
There is brevity and then there is brevity eh!
Man I want a drink now with all this talk of nog. I'll have to settle for lots of cream in my next cup of coffee.
I've got my story all ready to go, mentally, but the words to share the idea are not coming so easily to me as they apparently were to venustar. Maybe I need some of that eggnog to loosen up the crusty ol brainpan. Hopefully I'll have my story ready soon.
<---enjoying a nice iced Vietnamese coffee and wishing she was on the good computer...
...that story isn't going to edit itself, dagnabbit.
We do have 18 days now friends - take your time - relax - drink some nog!
OTOH, there's no time like a few minutes ago.:D

Phoronix: Linux Kernel Port To TI-Nspire Graphing Calculators
The Linux kernel has been ported to the Texas Instruments TI-Nspire. The TI-Nspire series platform powers higher-end graphing calculators in recent years from the Dallas-based company...
I used TI calculators loads in school (easy to learn to program and lots of useful statistics and graphing stuff integrated).
More to the point though, why would anyone want to put Linux on one and program it in another language? There's plenty of far better hardware available.
I guess a Android smartphone with some calculator app would be a much better calculator.

I wonder how they'll handle shipping overseas. Since I don't live in the U.S.A or the U.K, but in Malaysia, how will I purchase one?
Valve doesn't exactly have brick-and-mortar stores. Any idea who might be selling them overseas?
Phoronix: Valve To Begin Steam Box Tests In Coming Months
It looks like Valve is planning to begin Steam Box testing with gamers this summer...
I wonder how they'll handle shipping overseas. Since I don't live in the U.S.A or the U.K, but in Malaysia, how will I purchase one?
Valve doesn't exactly have brick-and-mortar stores. Any idea who might be selling them overseas?
I bet that will use an AMD APU....the signs of it are noise and heat
Actually that is true for a A10-5800K....another MoBo that i have with a AMD E-350 is extremely cool and silent....but of course that kind of hardware won't be used....i bet AMD APU, possibly A10-5800K....and 8GB RAM.
I don't think 8gb ram. Steam for Linux is targeting 32-bit. So initial version will probably ship with 2 or 4Gb of ram.
As for 2 or 4 GB (and not Gb) of RAM instead of 8, i pretty much doubt that will be 2 or even only 4GB.... recommended specs for Serious Sam 3 is precisely 4GB....that will put SB in the edge of specs.
Let's not also forget that we are talking about APUs that share memory with the buildin GPU....if you put away 1GB RAM for video, the 8GB will turn out to be only 7GB....if it was 4GB it would end up to be have only 3GB of RAM for everything besides video.
That's BELLOW recommended specs for many current AAA titles.
....and if more really big AAA game titles/franchises start to be ported to Linux, many recommend ALREADY 8GB of RAM....and if Valve doesn't want to look bad and/or have their SB look old very very fast, it must have 8GB RAM....
Any Next Gen console must have a minimum of 8GB RAM.

They do seem to do all their development against 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
It also depends on how often they plan to update the hardware, and their targeted cost.
Since they have to cater for custom built machines, my guess is they would probably release an update far more often than the other console makers, so you don't have to start super-high-end.
Either way, I don't think they don't _need_ 8Gib right now, so they may try to save costs.
As for an AMD apu, are they into using a custom processor or are they going to choose an existing off-the-shelf one? I don't have enough info.
I wonder how good the new Kaveri processor is? It is coming out soon, apparently, and supports GDDR5. That could be quite cool, as I have a Lano based system, and its GPU is very clearly bandwidth starved.
:P Speculation :P
AJSB, valid points regarding the unified memory for GPUs. They may go discrete GPU. This is all speculation, and we will probably have an idea of what they are targeting in 4 or so months if the rumours are true.
However, the fact that Gabe said that they are having some noise and heat issues makes me bet on a AMD APU...possibly they are testing with an out-of-shelf AMD APU like the A10-5800K that uses a very noisy (by my standards ) fan (kinda...fighter jet taking off...LOL, i'm exaggerating )
...but of course , this is all pure speculation...at most by summer we will know.

I guess Steam Big Picture will be the only User Interface accessible without hacks . . . i hoped it will be a fully usable computer but it's just another console.
Phoronix: Valve Begins Landing SteamOS Changes In Steam Client
Valve has begun pushing Steam Big Picture changes for SteamOS into their public Steam client, but hidden behind a command-line argument...
I guess Steam Big Picture will be the only User Interface accessible without hacks . . . i hoped it will be a fully usable computer but it's just another console.
Seriously, who thought SteamOS would be a full fledged Operating System compared to Windows or Fedora/Ubuntu etc.
SteamOS is steam on top of GNU/Linux and nothing else. Maybe some more features, but that's about it.
They never claimed anything else. It's for gaming, that's all.
For a fully usable computer, you install Steam client on your current OS, and not SteamOS, problem solved.
But the normal stupid user is not able to do something different than use the predefined system. Thus i really hope VALVE does install any Desktop Environment. There is really no need the reinvent the wheel.
#1 Ubuntu with Valve logos everywhere.
#2 Customized kernel and stuff.
#3 Gnome or XFCE UI with Steam logos
What I hope SteamOS to be.
#1 Ubuntu with heavy modifications.
#2 Lots of kernel tweaks that actually outperform stock.
#3 Custom UI derived from Gnome.
What I think would be great for SteamOS is the following: Boot into Big Pic mode, offer system info/updates through it, but also have a button or something to take you to a normal Linux desktop environment Gnome/KDE/XFCE whatever allowing you to use the hardware as a general computer and install additional software. Then, when finished with the general tasks, click on an icon and it takes you back to Big Pic Mode.
The reason to use Big Pic Mode as default, is because the OS is targeting the living room and the TV. But an option to choose the default will be awesome.
On a second thought, all this can be achieved by using a desktop distro like Ubuntu, launch Steam client on boot, and slightly tweak the Steam client. Then rebrand the product, call it SteamOS, design a few logos and wallpapers and call it a day.
Hmmm ... this is Off-Topic, sorry
I'd like to see KDE+Steam+Optimizations+UniqueSteamTheme.

Learn more about our jewelry
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Al Pike: Wetmore true to his roots
Thursday, March 28, 2013
From pushing a crate around Dover Arena as a wide-eyed 3-year-old while learning to skate to pushing a puck around Verizon Wireless Arena this weekend as a collegian in pursuit of a national championship, Riley Wetmore has come a long way.
Although Riley's mom kept that puck, he's after a much bigger souvenir now. One of the hottest teams in the country, UMass-Lowell is a legitimate contender for the national championship.
"Everyone's fighting for their life," Wetmore said. "I think last year we lost focus because we were just happy to get there and happy to win that first game. I feel like we've really earned our spot this year."
He had a growth spurt after his freshman year in high school. His hockey prowess also started to grow.
The development of freshman goalie Connor Hellebuyck, who was named MVP of the Hockey East playoffs, hasn't hurt.

A Heavenly Craft: The Woodcut in Early Printed Books
Click on image to enlarge
Combining the woodcut printing from the fifteenth century, with Johannes Gutenberg's invention of printing with moveable type resulted in a powerful explosion of information and ideas. Featured in A Heavenly Craft are the earliest surviving examples of these books from throughout Western Europe, all printed within the first century after Gutenberg's invention.
The contributors bring these rare books to life, exploring the evolution of the technique, composition, and coloration of the woodcut beginning with the earliest publications. The authors also present the distinguishing features of national style and taste, treating the reader to examples from all over Europe. In addition, A Heavenly Craft describes the provenance of these volumes, providing an account of how Lessing J. Rosenwald purchased them from the heir to the Lea and Perrins fortune and later donated them to the Library of Congress.
These early printed volumes are the predecessors of today's illustrated books. A Heavenly Craft celebrates these origins, making these early publications available to bibliophiles and print lovers.
