Speaking of which, what makes the new Anaconda better in this regard, compared to the old one? Why is it now easier to maintain, aside from no longer needing to develop both in parallel?
I already said, several times, that the problem with shipping a PC operating system is you're shipping a combination of several thousand moving parts and telling several billion people with several billion hardware configurations 'here is something that will probably work on your computer'.
Every Linux distribution ever released will fail to run X on some computer somewhere. You will never find one which didn't. The 'problem space' is so huge that individual changes in it are probably more subject to chaos theory than any simplistic notion of QA: you simply cannot conclude anything definitive about the 'quality' of one distribution compared to another, or one release compared to another, based on anecdotal evidence of 'well, my computer worked with X but didn't work with Y'. It's just not plausible. There are billions and of Xs and Ys. You have to go up to the scale of thousands of reports, or something like a solidly-triaged bug of the kind 'All graphics card of generation foo completely fail to work in X', before you can draw meaningful comparisons. And even *then*, it's tricky.
I understand that but I do have a bunch of intel centrino laptops that HAVE to be 100% linux compliant.
Everything from the gfx to wi fi has to function out of the box in every distro
Fedora 17 worked like a dream.
Fedora 18 my first experience I booted into the live_ram or live_session no longer remember the command and I went to firefox 16.02 (months ago) open youtube and watch a 50 minute html5 video = firefox dies, doesn't start again, entire graphical desktop environment dies, system dies.
and to be honest my experiences with it didn't become better
it was a punch in the stomach for someone who really liked f17, so yeah I understand that's probably working well for a lot of people but I my perception is my realiy and for me it failed.
And for the record, it *is* mostly working for me, once I worked out that I needed to manually install gstreamer1-libav to replace the older gst-ffmpeg - not strictly a Fedora problem since it's a third-party repo, but it did mean that none of my videos worked anymore. My complaints are with the way you're presenting this as a big deal, that people shouldn't be upgrading casually. I'm sure it's not your intention, but your messages are coming across with a strong subtext of "don't trust this release".
well birdie, maybe it is time for you to stop posting bullshit?
LINUX has stable APIs AND ABIs for more 20 years.
Internal constructs are neither APIs nor ABIs.
Please stop posting until you started to think. People like you with their 'give me. NOW' attitude and no clue at all make me sick.
I found this on the fscking Fedora homepage:
Good enough points to do a rewrite, huh? Guess the previous installer did suck...After many years of maintaining and developing the pre-Fedora 18 installer, the installer development team determined that a rewrite of the installer was necessary for a myriad of reasons, including the following:
The previous installer had an aging (around 13 years old) infrastructure that was difficult and time-consuming to maintain and improve, constraining new feature development. One current install team developer refers to the old infrastructure as "an incredible mess."
The performance of the old installer left a lot to be desired. Long-term tasks could not be performed in the background. This required long wait times and pauses throughout the installation experience. For example, as CPU and time-intensive tasks were processed, the UI would freeze for several moments until a given processing task completed.
The previous UI was not very responsive. This manifested in various ways, including a failure of the UI screens to redraw when the display was changed between a TTY and back to the UI.
The text-only version of the installer interface was a completely separate codebase, which increased the maintenance burden of the installer. This also increased the amount of work needed to implement new features as they would need to be written twice, once for each codebase.
The previous codebase was not written in a modular fashion. This caused issues where similar functionality in different modes (for example, GUI vs kickstart) used different logic and resulted in inconsistencies for users.
The automated kickstart mode of the installer was separate and incompatible with the UI modes of the installer. A separate utility, system-config-kickstart, was created solely to provide a UI for creating kickstarts since the existing UI could not be used for this purpose without a completed install.
The live media method of installation used a different codepath than the installer than the DVD method, causing maintenance and development difficulties and resulting in an inconsistent and at times buggy user experience.
The old installer's interface had a 'point of no return' past which any changes you'd made to your storage configuration could destroy data on your disk(s) and you couldn't go back to change it. Since the UI followed a linear path, this exact inflection point occurred close to the middle of the screen flow and required a rather discouraging pop-up dialog to explain the impact.
In previous versions of Fedora, the installer's interface followed a wizard design pattern , consisting of multiple linear screens with occasional nested modal pop-up dialogs. (See diagram below) While nothing is inherently problematic with wizards as a design pattern, the sheer number of screens required by the installer made it unwieldy. You could end up several screens into the process and need to go back and change something on an earlier screen, requiring a lot of clicking and screen flipping to go back and return to where you left off. Multiple modal nested dialog windows also made it confusing at times to interact with certain screens, in particular the partitioning-related screens.
How is that useful?
2. Switching DEs
Right. One can select spins for other DEs. In the case you want to mess with, say, Gnome3 and install E17, then why not also take the time to install Entrance (E17's Display Manager)? Problem solved and it looks a lot nicer too.

Esteria Mythos
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Esteria Mythos Overview
Esteria Mythos transports players into a land overrun by monsters and evil. This challenging MMORPG mixes magic with a compelling community system that requires players to master it. The primary race in the Esteria Continent is human. There are three basic classes that players have a choice of combining with 1st/2nd jobs to customize their character's destiny. The 1st job selection starts at level 5 and the 2nd job at level 10. Listed below are the three basic classes:
Warrior – Warriors are armed with swords and axes to inflict serious damage on opponents. They are survivors with immense strength.
Explorer – Explorers are known for their long range attacks. Equipped with an arsenal of mighty spears and bows, they can hit any target with precision.
Magician – Magicians rely on powerful spells to help defeat, defend, and heal. They use enchanted staffs to inflict major damage during battles. Magicians are also the only class allowed to use magic shields for protection.

Esteria Mythos Review
By Ange Perdu
Save the Esteria Continent and prevent history from repeating itself in Esteria Mythos. This free-to-play, fantasy-based MMORPG lets players explore a vast game world overflowing with mystery, magic, and mayhem. Players choose their gender and class before beginning their quest to stop the War of Darkness from happening again . Graphically speaking, Esteria Mythos looks a lot like classical RPGs like Diablo 2 and Mir 3, or even Dungeon Runners/Warrior Epic, except with much 'older' graphics.
A Bunch of Bad Apples, the Gameplay
The Esteria Continent is a mystical world filled with evil, yet almost cuddly creatures. One of the first monsters players will face is a sort of fairy that resembles an apple called Pink Appie. Players will have to kill numerous monsters like the Appies as they complete quests and adventure deeper into Esteria. Killing monsters such as the consistent Appies, Tongtongs, Soldier Burtos, Doekki, and Inorio earns XP points. Often after a kill enemies will drop items or Donia. Donia are gold coins that are used as currency in Esteria. Treasure chests with gold coins are also scattered throughout the land, which promotes exploration.
Esteria Mythos has plenty of quests, and a high level cap of 60. Quests usually involve delivering messages to different posts, destroying monsters, exploring the lands, or finding items for others. In-between quests players have time to work their 1st/2nd jobs or destroy patrolling enemies. Esteria Mythos requires a significant amount of grinding to level up. Although the gameplay is fun, it can become slightly redundant after awhile.
To enter certain areas in the Esteria Continent players must reach a specific level. The mysterious lands, locked buildings, secret passageways, and battle arena serves as motivation to continue playing. The battle arena is the only location PVP fights can take place. Players can change the pace of the game by entering the arena to test their magic skills against others.
Don't Catch a Cold!
In Esteria there are four different types of diseases. As players level up higher in the game they risk the chance of catching a cold, anemia, headache, or a bad case of the measles. Each disease causes the player to lose a specific ability. A cold restricts automatic MP and HP recovery. Anemia decreases magic defenses, while headaches reduce the amount of damage inflicted during attacks. When a player catches the measles their hit rate slows down making them more vulnerable in battle. All diseases can be cured by a doctor.
Esteria Mythos has a strong structured community system. Players have to depend on each other to survive in the Esteria Continent. Each member must choose a 2nd job after reaching level 10. They can become a doctor who heals other players, a smith that repair items for others, or an alchemist with the ability to craft.
A Magical Barter Country
There are always options in Esteria Mythos. Virtually everything can be purchased, traded, or sold within the country. Most NPCs have an option to trade listed below their dialogue. Clicking it will bring up a box with an assortment of items new or used that is up for sale. Players can sell unneeded items for extra Donia when using the trade option. Players can set up their own booth trading their items with other players as well. Trades are a way of life in the Esteria Continent and very easy to come by. It's an enchanted country of bartering.
Attire, armor, and accessories are available for all classes. Helmets, boots, belts, shields, necklaces, robes, turbans, gauntlet, gloves, and rings can be purchased using Donia. Players can buy all sorts customization items with their gold coin currency referred to as Donia. Each item has a level requirement except for potions. Potions come in a variety of sizes, from tiny to medium, and possess the ability to improve health or magic levels. Mystery packages, keys, skill books, licenses, and upgrades are for sell by various NPCs. Some items are rarer than others and can be traded among players for higher prices.
Weapons & Magic Shields
There is a wide selection of weaponry in Esteria. Every player's potential arsenal depends on their class and level . As players level up, access to weapons inflicting higher amounts of physical damage are available. Items range from medieval to magical. Swords, hatchets, pole axes, blood blades, hunter bows, battle staffs, sealing trident, dragon scimitar, magic wands, magic shields and necromancers can be used in battle. Even firecrackers can be purchased to distract and damage enemies.
Weddings, Parties, Guilds, Oh My…
The love in Esteria only gets deeper when players decide to get hitched. The process is quite extensive. Both users have to reach level 20 before considering marriage, and it costs 100,000 Donia to conduct a wedding. Rings must be purchased from a NPC, wedding reservations sent to all friends, and a priest summoned. Esteria has a huge chapel set aside specifically for weddings. The bride and groom, along with all guests, have to arrive on time for the wedding to commence. Guests are asked to gift money to the newly wed couple after they exit the chapel. If it doesn't work out the unhappy party can return to the church and file for divorce.
At anytime players can form a party. A party can consist of up to four players. When hunting monsters together, additional experience points are given. Personally, I feel that a maximum of four players per party is a bit restricting, as even Diablo 2 (which Esteria Mythos drew a lot of inspiration from), had much larger party sizes. Forming a guild requires a player to be level 30 or higher and costs 100,000 pieces of Donia. A limit of 2,000 guilds can be created per country.
Final Verdict: Good
Esteria Mythos has a lot to offer and explore. Although the graphics are less than stunning the large mysterious game world makes up for it. The overall gameplay is solid with hordes of enemies to slaughter. A handful of cool bonus features like the wedding ceremonies, arena battles, and trading abilities add to the game. The 1st/2nd jobs are somewhat confusing since there is no tutorial on how to perform them. Esteria Mythos is fun and slightly similar to the games Diablo or Ragnarok Online at times.

Jimmy Haslam maintains his innocence as dark cloud hangs overhead
Blog Entry:
June 26, 2013 10:16 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
The Wall Street Journal
takes a
deep dive
into how things are going at Browns owner Jimmy Haslam's
Pilot Flying J
in the wake of the FBI's investigation into the rebate scheme.
The quick answer: Not great.
"The scandal has shaken a company that fuels the nation's trucking industry, and it has put the spotlight on a hard-charging family that says it borrows tactics from the football field to excel in the tough business of peddling diesel,"
The Journal
From the story:
On a glorious recent evening, when many people were outdoors barbecuing, Jimmy, now the 59-year-old chief executive of privately held Pilot, was inside his home, flanked by his wife, Dee, his dad and his stepmother, Natalie.
The room had gone dead silent as he considered the dark cloud hanging over his company and his family. Investigators appear to be pressing for indictments, maybe even his, he acknowledged. He says he hasn't done anything wrong and he is "very comfortable" with his personal position.
"I really can't worry about indictments because I have no control," he says slowly. "My focus has got to be on fixing the problem with the companies (that are Pilot's customers), making it right if we owe them something. I got to focus on what I can control."
If you're not keeping score,
The Journal
notes that lawyers and Pilot's trucking customers have filed 15 lawsuits against Pilot, and five Pilot sales employees have reached plea agreements with federal prosecutors. The company's credit ratings "have been put on negative watch for possible downgrade by Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's Corp.," according to
The Journal
The newspaper notes that the company's debt "nearly doubled to $4 billion in a two-year period through last year, as its owners paid themselves two payments totaling $1.7 billion from it, according to Moody's." Last year,
The Journal
says, "Pilot issued $1.1 billion of the debt — largely to fund the second one, a dividend for $700 million, according to S&P. That was partly so Jimmy could buy the Cleveland Browns."
A Pilot spokesman tells the newspaper that the Moody's and S&P numbers contained inaccuracies, but he declined to elaborate.
This and that
Whatever it takes:
Toledo Mayor Michael Bell is serious about attracting Chinese investment to his city.
How serious?
This serious
Forbes.com notes that on a 2010 visit to China, the mayor "squirmed in his chair" as he looked at a shot glass containing something called snake blood.
"He didn't want to drink it. But the future of his city was at stake," according to the website's profile. "So down it went. Around the table eyes grew wide. Even his Chinese hosts in Shenzhen couldn't believe it. 'We never drink that!' they later told him, laughing."
Mayor Bell says the drink, made from draining the blood of a venomous snake into rice wine, was "an icebreaker" that would build trust and aid his effort to attract Chinese investors to Toledo.
Seems like it's working.
Since 2010, "the Chinese have spent more than $10 million to buy private and city-owned properties, including a downtown hotel, a restaurant complex beside the Maumee River and a 69-acre waterfront parcel dubbed the Marina District," Forbes.com reports. "Another commercial real estate deal has closed, and another is pending, and seven Chinese companies have opened sales offices" in the Toledo area.
"We're getting in front of companies that would not have given us the time of day before," Paul Zito, an official with the
Regional Growth Partnership
, a quasi-private economic development group in northwest Ohio, tells Forbes.com.
Bearing down on Michigan:
that a Cleveland-based international distribution company has opened a branch in Flint, Mich., to be closer to some of the companies for which it supplies parts.
Bearing Distributors Inc.
said the Flint office will serve businesses in central and Southeastern Michigan.
"The company did not specify whether it would be hiring employees for the new location, but said the move was to be closer to the markets they serve," according to MLive.com.
Bearing Distributors has 180 locations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia. The website notes that it's known primarily for the distribution and application of bearings, mechanical power transmission, electrical power transmission, linear motion, fluid power, material handling, industrial and safety products.
Here's to a long life:
Research conducted at
Case Western Reserve University
is cited in
Consumer Reports
about five ways people get better with age.
The five categories are as follows
Anger, stress and worry are less common.
Wisdom grows
Marriage gets healthier
Happiness rises
Satisfaction with social relationships grows.
At that last point, the story notes that seniors "typically have a smaller but closer circle of friends than younger adults, research shows. That's because older people tend to focus on close friends and family members who are important for their emotional bonds."
Social connectedness also helps seniors stay healthy.
"A new study suggests that seniors who volunteer — whether lending a hand to friends and neighbors or doing community work — also reap cognitive health benefits,"
Consumer Reports
says. "A three-year study led by researchers at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland looked at the health and the altruistic attitudes and deeds of 1,000 people age 72 or older at a Florida retirement community. They found that volunteering was the most consistent predictor of cognitive well-being."

Fourth-Place Medal
Lindsey Vonn breaks World Cup record as Tiger Woods watchesJay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal2 mths ago
Lindsey Vonn broke a 35-year-old record Monday, officially claiming the title of winningest female World Cup skier in history. And she did so with the surprise support of a guy who knows a thing or two about historic wins.
Vonn won the super-G at Cortina D'Ampezzo in Italy on Monday, marking her 63rd World Cup victory and passing Annemarie Moser-Proell for most women's World Cup wins all-time. Ingemar Stenmark of Sweden holds the men's record with 86 World Cup wins.
Vonn's victory comes just one day after she tied the record, and marks a triumphant return to the top of the skiing world after two injury-riddled years that cost her a berth in the Sochi Games.
Vonn's beau, one Tiger Woods, was present in Italy, having flown in to surprise Vonn. Woods spent much of the time in "disguise" wearing a skull-decorated facemask:
Lindsey Vonn ties record for career World Cup wins with victory in ItalyJay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal2 mths ago
Even after career-threatening injuries and career-altering celebrity, Lindsey Vonn continues to dominate. On Sunday, Vonn notched her 62nd World Cup victory, matching the 35-year-old record set by Annemarie Moser-Proell.
Skiing at the foggy, soft Olympia delle Tofane course in Cortina D'Ampezzo, Italy in the downhill event, Vonn finished in 1 minute, 39.61 seconds to defeat Austria's Elisabeth Goergl by about one-third of a second. Check Vonn's run right here, starting at about the 9:40 mark:
Injuries hampered Vonn for most of the last two years, keeping her out of the Sochi Olympics in 2014. But her workout routine never flagged, and neither did her spirit, according to Vonn:

Boston has never hosted an Olympic Games. The city will require construction of an Olympic stadium, and projected costs run to more than $7 billion, according to the AP.
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, and Washington D.C. had all been seeking the opportunity to represent the United States in bidding for the 2024 Games. The International Olympic Committee is expected to name the host city in 2017. The United States has not hosted a Summer Games since Atlanta in 1996.
Los Angeles based its bid on a series of "clusters" scattered around Southern California. San Francisco sought to make use of iconic backdrops such as the Golden Gate Bridge and the Coit Tower. Boston intended to use university facilities for a compact Olympic experience. Washington's odds for hosting seemed dubious at best because of the city's polarizing nature.
Two U.S. skiers killed in Austria avalancheJay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal2 mths ago
Two prospective members of the U.S. Ski Team were killed Monday during a training run in Austriawhen they were unable to evade an avalanche.
Ronnie Berlack, 20, from New Hampshire, and Bryce Astle, 19, from Utah, were among a group of six skiers training near the Rettenbach glacier in preparation for the start of the World Cup season. The skiers apparently left the prepared slope, which incited the avalanche. The other four skiers were able to ski out of the slide and were not hurt.
The area had been on avalanche alert because of the treacherous combination of mild temperatures and heavy snowfall.
"Ronnie and Bryce were both outstanding ski racers who were passionate about their sport, both on the race course and skiing the mountain," U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association President and CEO Tiger Shaw said in a statement. "Our hearts go out to the Berlack and Astle families, as well as to their extended sport family. Both of them loved what they did and conveyed that to those around them."
Fourth-Place Medal's most popular posts in 2014Kevin Kaduk at Fourth-Place Medal3 mths ago
The world descended upon Sochi, Russia this year and Fourth-Place Medal was there to cover it all — from Shaun White's flameout to the ice dancing rivalry to all the craziness that a Vladimir Putin-led Games produced. Here are the most-clicked posts on Fourth-Place Medal this year.
1. Racy photos of Olympic skier Jackie Chamoun cause a stir in her native Lebanon (Feb. 12) Topless pictures of the Lebanese skier raised a ruckus back home, but Chamoun received plenty of public support and a government investigation was halted. She finished 47th in the slalom.
Why some athletes might not want to qualify for the 2016 OlympicsYahoo Sports Staff at Fourth-Place Medal3 mths ago

Here's an interesting question: If you're a sailor, do you really want to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics?
Monday, scientists in Brazil released a report indicating a drug-resistant "super-bacteria" had been found in the Rio de Janeiro waters where the 2016 Olympic sailing events are scheduled to take place.
It's no secret that the water around Rio is, in a
word, nasty. According to the Associated Press, 70 percent of the city's sewage flows untreated into Guanabara Bay, which is shocking to anyone but those who've been to Rio, a stunningly picturesque locale that's been treated like a trash can.
"It's just a huge bay of sewage," Leona Deckelbaum, an environment protester, told NBC News.
Meet the 2016 Olympic mascotsJay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal4 mths ago
It's only been a few months since Sochi, but it's already time to turn our attention to the Rio Olympics in 2016. We begin with the introduction of the two mascots for both the Olympic and Paralympic games.
Per Rio's website, the yellow fellow on the left is "a mixture of different Brazilian animals, blessed with their many qualities: the agility of the cats, the sway of the monkeys, the grace of the birds. With his keen sense of smell, he can sniff out exciting adventures. His incredible hearing allows him to find the most enthusiastic fans. He can imitate the voice of any animal." It's worth noting that "he would never use them to win a sporting competition. He knows that competing on equal terms is much cooler." Sure, HE does, but do all the Olympians?
Paralympian Josh Sundquist remains the king of Halloween costumesJay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal5 mths ago
Now that I'm on the US Amputee Soccer Team, this seemed like an appropriate Halloween costume. pic.twitter.com/2TiN2fdrFm
Yes, Sundquist, who in the past has dressed as a gingerbread man with a missing leg, the leg lamp from "A Christmas Story," and a flamingo, has honored his own inclusion on the US Amputee Soccer team by making himself into a human Foosball player.
Sundquist lost his leg as a child due to Ewing's sarcoma. However, he became an alpine skier and also draws crowds as a motivational speaker. It's not hard to see why. On the soccer pitch, Sundquist will represent the United States at the 2014 Amputee World Cup in Mexico.
U.S. women's volleyball wins historic World Championship goldDanielle Elliot at Fourth-Place Medal5 mths ago
It took 62 years, but the U.S. women's volleyball team is finally the best in the world. The women won the FIVB World Championships on Sunday, the first time its ever claimed gold in a major international competiion, by defeating China, 3-1.
It had been more than a decade since the team even made it to the final – it last took silver in 2002. To get to this year's gold-medal game, the U.S. had to take down perennial power Brazil, who beat the Americans in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic finals.
"I constantly think about how this is bigger than us," captain Christa Dietzen told Universal Sports. "I think it represents the past players of USA Volleyball and everybody that has built this program from the bottom up. And it represents the present players, and not just the 14 of us who are here, but all 25 to 40 of us who have come through the gym this summer and made each other better."
Coach Karch Kiraly echoed Dietzen's comments in an on-court interview after the win.
Olympic gold medalist Dana Vollmer is expecting her first childDanielle Elliot at Fourth-Place Medal5 mths ago
Olympic swimmer Dana Vollmer has been mum about whether she'll return to her sport, but she seems to have offered fans an answer on Friday. The four-time gold medalist announced on Twitter that she is pregnant with her first child.
My most exciting news yet 😍... pic.twitter.com/r5RgiuXgNF
Vollmer's husband is former Stanford University swimmer Andy Grant. She set the world record in the 100m butterfly in 55.98 seconds at the London Olympics, and also won gold with the 4x200m freestyle relay teams in 2004 and 2012 and the 4x100m medley team in 2012.
With a February 2015 due date, it's doubtful that she'll be back for next season. But don't count her out completely.
Several American women have returned to competitive swimming after giving birth, not to mention athletes in just about every other sport. A U.S. coach told me in 2012 that he thinks female swimmers' bodies are even better suited for competition after giving birth. I never verified that with doctors, but if he's right, who knows what Vollmer could accomplish in Rio.

Brown playing 'big' role for Clippers
Tuesday, January 29, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — Alicia Brown's always been big, which has certainly helped her performance as a basketball player.
But she felt UNE offered the best combination of basketball and academics, as it offers a Marine Sciences major.
Senior wing player Devon Parker, one of the state's top schoolgirl lacrosse players, signed a letter of intent last fall to play lacrosse at Division I Syracuse.
"She's always had a great outside shot," said Portsmouth coach Danny Parr. "Her whole game has really improved.
Twice she's helped the Spartans finish as runner-ups in New Hampshire. In the summer before her junior year, she was part of the first Spartans girls' team to make a national tournament, and even hit the game-winning basket to beat a team from Long Island in Orlando, Fla.

RocketBallz Stage 2 Tour Fairway
Product Actions
Complete your bag
Additional Information
RocketBallz Fairways Just Got RocketBallz-IER
The new No. 1 fairway wood model on the PGA Tour features the same low-profile clubhead shape as the RBZ Stage 2 fairways woods. When you look down and see how beautifully low the back edge of the head rests near the turf at address you'll have all the confidence you need to launch the ball high, long and straight. Increased ball speed comes from RocketSteel clubface and an improved Speed Pocket.
Like the RBZ Stage 2 fairways, the added distance is made possible by an improved Speed Pocket design and a new, ultra-strong and ultra-fast clubface material called RocketSteel co-developed by TaylorMade and Carpenter, a company renowned for expertise at creating high-performance metals.
What makes it different from the RBZ Stage 2 fairways is the addition of our innovative Loft-Sleeve technology that gives you the ability to adjust the loft up or down 1.5° face angle, and a high-performance Matrix RocketFuel 70-gram shaft.
On the white, glare-resistant crown is positioned a unique black, yellow and gray decal designed to help you determine precisely how the clubhead is aimed, and to help you position the ball directly opposite the center of the face.
- TaylorMade Loft-Sleeve technology offers 7 standard and 5 upright loft options to add ±1.5° to the standard loft. 3-wood loft is 14.5° (which can be adjusted up to 16° or down to 13°).
- Ultra-high strength TaylorMade RocketSteel supplied by Carpenter® creates a thinner and faster-flexing face.
- Speed Pocket design flexes faster to promote faster ball speed and more distance.
- Lower and more-forward CG location promotes faster ball speed, high launch and low spin.
- Shallower face and lower head profile for increased playability and easier launch.
- Thick-Thin Crown design saves weight that's redistributed to improve CG location.
- Black clubface, non-glare white crown and new crown graphic all promote easy alignment.
- Matrix RocketFuel 70 graphite shaft (70 grams) promotes fast swing speed.
- Grip: RBZ Lite Grip .600(TP) - 45g

Sequester hits cancer patients — doctors, lawmakers seek fix
You may have heard that White House tours were cut due to across-the-board federal spending cuts known as the sequester. Or that Congress made sure to minimize disruptions to air travel. Or perhaps you know someone being furloughed as a result of the cuts.
But did you know a major fight is being waged over sequester cuts to some cancer drugs?
After Congress failed to pass a budget this spring, a 2 percent cut to Medicare chemotherapy drug reimbursements went into effect April 1 as part of the across-the-board federal spending cuts designed to save $85.4 billion this year.
[Read sequester stories from Yahoo News readers here.]
Many doctors and patients are infuriated, and the issue has made its way into Congress, with a bill introduced in the House to help alleviate the burden being put on those in the cancer community.
Dr. John Cox, a community oncologist at Texas Oncology Methodist Cancer Centers in Dallas and a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), told Yahoo News that the idea of treating Medicare patients differently from other patients goes against everything for which doctors stand.
"It makes all of us uneasy when we realize we are treating different populations in our practice differently," Cox said.
The pressure put on doctors is significant. Oncologists are typically reimbursed the average sales price for chemotherapy drugs plus 6 percent to cover the cost of storing and administering these drugs. Because purchasing those drugs costs the same as it did before the sequester, many cancer doctors, especially community oncologists who operate in smaller, nonhospital settings—are now unable to keep up with the costs associated with treating Medicare cancer patients who are typically elderly and on fixed incomes.
Indeed, studies from various oncology groups bear out a negative trend: Due to the sequester cut, community practices have begun to turn some people away or to close their doors entirely, shifting patients to hospitals for their chemotherapy treatments where the infrastructure is larger, costs can be better absorbed and some drugs can be purchased for less.
A May 9 survey from the Community Oncology Alliance found 49 percent of respondents were sending Medicare patients elsewhere, with many more planning to begin doing so; 21 percent of practices were laying off staff; and 14 percent were in talks with hospitals about forming alliances.
A new survey from ASCO found that 80 percent of respondents say the sequester has affected their practice. Nearly 50 percent said they wouldn't be able to continue caring for Medicare patients who didn't have supplemental insurance, and 50 percent had begun sending patients elsewhere, primarily to hospitals.
Some doctors say that the shift to hospitals could be detrimental to Medicare patients' care due to less personalized service, personal mobility issues and the typically higher overall cost of treatment at a hospital.
"I'm sure that there's some people who say that they are enraged," Dr. Jeffery Ward, a community oncologist at Swedish Cancer Institute in Edmonds, Wash., told Yahoo News of the cut. "I'm just saddened that our government system is so completely inept that they will take the most fragile and vulnerable people in our society and hang them out to dry—and that's what Congress and our government has done."
Ward said that his practice as a result of the crush of costs—which in addition to the sequester cut includes a shrinking reimbursement system and a Washington state business and operations tax—formed a nonprofit and became part of a local hospital group on April 1. It's a fate he says will become more common under the sequester.
He added that he and his patients are among the luckier ones: Not only can his new hospital group help with costs, but the convenient location means his doctors can continue treating the same patients. But he noted that others might not be as fortunate, especially those in rural areas.
"If you're in a situation where [a] hospital is not willing to work with you or does not wish to take on cancer care, or if you're operating a long ways from a hospital, those are places where clinics may end up closing their doors and where patients will be disadvantaged or put out," Ward said.
Cox said some of the talk about the damaging impacts of the sequester from the oncology community might be hyperbole, but negative effects are real and contributing to an already crushing system of physician reimbursement, in his opinion.

The aim of this short introduction is to help you use a site that has already been set up so that you feel that you are not just using a mysterious back box.
You also need:-
Many people start to use a web site that has been set up using Joomla! You are especially likely to do this if you are going to be adding content to an existing site and do not expect to go further with managing the site.
You do need to know something about the site and where the Articles are located. This will vary a great deal from site to site, so (obviously!) cannot be covered here in detail.
You will need a username with the right permissions for what you are going to do, such as add and edit articles.
You will be given a username (sometimes called a login) to allow you to alter the content of a site. This shows you how to login once you have a username and password. The postioning of the Login Form can vary but many sites place this to the left of the screen beneath the menus.
The screen may look slightly different on different sites, for the general appearance, the name and the position depends on how the site is designed.
There are separate boxes for entering your Username and Password.
When you have logged in you will probably be able to see more Menus and other content on the site. If you have the right permissions, you should also be able to edit some of the content. Look out for the edit icon
Permissions are sometimes referred to as 'access control'.
Joomla! allows content to be created and edited by visitors who login with a username with appropriate permissions.
In Joomla! 2.5 there are a number of pre-defined groups relevant to adding and editing Articles in a Joomla! Web site. Some web sites have many more groups, allowing access to specific parts of the site for specific people. You will need to know which group you are in and what rights you have to view and edit articles.
Typical groups include:-
Once you have logged in to the site, there is a hands-on document (part of this series) to introduce you to altering an Article.
This will help you to become familiar with editing in Joomla!
There are other levels of access for managing a site. Access Control in Joomla! 1.6 is more granular than in earlier versions. You would need to know about this for looking after or creating a site, but the full detail is not needed for simply editing and adding content.

Orange Chipotle Shrimp
Shrimp is easily one of my favorite foods. They are so good all by themselves but it is also really easy to add a ton of flavour to them. I bookmarked this recipe for chipotle and orange marinated shrimp while ago when I saw it on the food network. I really like the sound of the smoky and spicy chipotle with orange marinade. I was cleaning out my fridge when I found some leftover chipotles in adobo sauce and I knew that I was going to use them to make this dish. They were super simple to make, just marinate the prawns and grill/fry for a few minutes. They were really tasty!
1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 orange juice and zest
1 tablespoon chipotles chilies in abode sauce (chopped)
1 tablespoon oil
3 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
salt and pepper to taste
1. Marinate the shrimp in the orange juice and zest, chipotles, oil and cilantro for 15+ minutes.
2. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and season with salt and pepper.
3. Skewer the shrimp and grill or fry in a pan for 1-3 minutes per side.
