by Amanda P. The paintable, low-profile grille allows Polk's MC65 in-wall speaker to blend easily into the background. Vanishing act Experience rich, room-filling sound from speakers that disappear into your surroundings. Polk's MC65 speakers install flush in your wall for a sleek, décor-friendly look. Use the 3/4" pivoting tweeter to precisely direct the high frequencies and really dial in your system's sound. The 6-1/2" woofer provides smooth bass and mid-bass. And this speaker's moisture-resistant design means you can use it in your kitchen, bathroom, sauna, or even under the eaves outside. Building a system Install a pair of the MC65s for stereo music listening. These speakers can also work as the fronts, center, and surrounds in a surround sound system. The MC65s are voice-matched with the other MC in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, so you can mix and match. An optional in-wall bracket is recommended for installing the MC-65 in a new home under construction. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any.

Great Speakers Written By AFC IT, Oregon on Tuesday, April 28, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed these in our classroom and conference room and the sound is incredible. Installation was very straight forward and love the look/design. Pros: Pirce, design, sound quality Cons: None to mention
Great Speakers - sound awesome Written By John Audio, United States on Sunday, February 22, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased these Polk Audio in wall speakers to replace my old Sony cube surround speakers. These speakers provide great surround sound, that surpassed those old Sony cubes. The directional tweeter allow me to aim the tweeters to suit my room layout. Pros: Great price and great sound. Installation was straightforward, use the cutout, insert the speakers and tighten the adjustment clips to give it a professional look and feel. Cons: One of the grates on the speaker had to be tweaked to get it to fit snugly into the frame.
Great Purchase Written By Anonymous, Saint James, NY on Saturday, February 21, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was on the fence about using these as rear surround speakers in a relatively small room. I decided to give them a shot and i'm very happy I kept them. Easy installation, just make sure you don't but them up against a 2 x 4 in the wall as they have arms that need to open up to grab the wall. Overall incredible sound experience now watching tv. They offer a very clear full sound and I couldn't be happier. Pros: Great price, nice sound! Cons: Bigger speakers than I expected, but not a problem.
Great buy! Written By Pat, North Carolina on Saturday, December 20, 2014 I bought these to replace a pair of no-name's that were installed by the previous owner. The old ones had decent bass but vibrated on low frequencies (i.e. Mr. Probz - Wave after Wave) and I decided on these (without any way of hearing them first) due to price, reviews and the fact that they have a suggested power range of 20-100 watts. I wouldn't say they have great lows (I always thought of Polks as having more mid-range than anything else), but I also no longer have the vibration. That being said, I'm also using these with a 20 yr. old Yamaha 50 watt receiver and considering going with the Denon AVR-S500BT which puts out a little more power at 70w per channel. One oddity: neither box came with any sort of specs: only the installation guide and template along with a registration card. Anyhow, I'll follow up if and when I upgrade to the Denon. Who knows, I may even add a sub. Update 3.1.2015 Sorry for the long delay in updating this review. I purchased the Denon AVR-S500BT through a big box store since no other site had it in stock (not even Denon) and it was a big disappoinment: the lows were nowhere near my old Yamaha and both channels only worked on the stereo setting. Anyhow, maybe there was a "break-in" period for these Polk's, but I'm really impressed with them. The lows are much better than I thought, whether listening to .mp3's or streaming video. You can't go wrong with these, especially for the price. Pros: Overall, a decent sound Cons: Thus far, not great lows, but not horrible either.
excellent product Written By suzy, Pennsylvania on Sunday, December 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This product has great sound quality and is a wonderful addition to our newly installed Home theater system. We love the quality, easy install, and price for the product. Pros: price, product, quality, sound
Polk MC65 Written By Tony, Fargo, ND on Sunday, October 26, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Last year we built our first home and wired it up for sound, even the bathrooms. 17 of these MC 65s all around the house. Amazing clarity and length of sound waves. Big rooms, small rooms, all clear, crisp sound. I'm not kidding, being at my buddies house, (he put in a $7,000 system, mostly in ceiling speakers, no bathrooms, professionally installed, dead spots everywhere), mine sounds unbelievably better, more thorough, way more pure, and I'm in it for just over $1,200! Thanks to these superb speakers. (If you're doing a home wire, do your bathrooms too, you won't regret it). Snoop Dogg to Celine Dion, these babies get it done. Mark Knopfler is king in my house. I was happy with the price point and clean rectangular look. And the name Polk, well, let's just say I was already a Polk fan, now I'm even more in love. Sioux hockey game sounds bleed throughout it every room. The grill does need convincing to get seated properly, which could gouge a speaker if one isn't careful. A little bend here and there, they sit ok. The aimable tweeters are amazing for filling gaps or ceiling bouncing. The ceiling bounce gives a full carry but there's nothing like a direct shot of tweeter to your senses. Every home is different. You choose the final sound. Powering is the Sony Bluetooth Receiver I got during Christmas. Love it. Now anyone can play tunes over the house, even guests. Simple volume knobs in each room for isolation volume and impedence matching. Pros: Love everything about them. Cons: Speaker grill needs convincing.
speaker review Written By Anonymous, Ruckersville, VA on Sunday, August 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I like the speakers sound is great. I however found the grills difficult to install. I feel the grills were not formed correctly. Pros: Speaker performance Cons: Grills do not fit very well.
Strong, clear sound Written By Brian C., Long Beach, CA on Saturday, August 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm very pleased with these speakers. Great sound and clarity whether we're listening to music, or watching a movie. Although I left them white, they came ready for painting with the mask in place., which I thought was cool. I think they'd be a great complement to a surround system. Pros: Versatile, good sound, good price point. Cons: Haven't found any yet - they've met or exceeded my expectations.

Polk MC65 Speakers Written By D-Tennant, Lake Summerset on Monday, April 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have these speakers on my deck overhang - they sound fantastic.

MC65 Written By Ray, Buffalo, NY on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great in-wall speakers. I started out with 2, purchased 2 more and plan to purchase 2 more again to use on my covered patio for outdoor listening. I originally was going to put smaller speakers on shelves around my room but I am so glad to have seen these instead. They look great in the wall and the sound quality is excellent. Great value as well. Pros: Sleek looking, good value Cons: none
Polk Audio MC65 Written By Don W., Southern Illinois on Friday, March 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was very satisfied with the overall performance of these speakers . They have better bass response than I expected and were very easy to install.
Good sound aweful grills Written By Pete, Fort Worth on Wednesday, January 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My install was fairly complex due to inaccessibiliy of certain areas of my hose. How ever the instal was a breeze in comparison to installing the silly speake grills. In the end a couple of mine dented but thanks to Crutchfield they were replaced Pros: Sound, price and ease of install Cons: The grills are very finicky and delicate

I used a Polk Audio 255C-RT as the center channel and a Polk Audio DSW Pro 660wi sub woofer. I am using a Onkyo TX NR818 receiver. This system was easy to install, Crutchfield support was awesome! Cons: None
Pleasing sound Written By Charles H, Santa Rosa. CA on Saturday, December 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We're pleased with the sound these speakers give. The bass response is much better than we expected. Installation was straight forward and reasonable with the proper tools. Pros: Non-complicated installation by the included instructions. The sound is surprising good for a small, in-wall speaker. Cons: speaker grill is just a smudge too large, difficult to put in place.

Polk MC65 in Wall Speaker Written By Dave H, Caledonia, Mich on Friday, October 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Solid speaker I would have given it a 5 except the grill do not lock into place solidly Pros: Good sound, great price and easy to install Cons: Speaker grills do not lock into place well
Polk Audio MC65 In-wall speaker Written By Gary M, Colorado Springs, CO on Tuesday, July 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed a pair of these in the eaves of my roof overhang in our back yard; they're about 30 feet apart on a house that is 70 feet long. The climate here is very dry, and the MC65's are rated for a humid environment, such as a bathroom, so I don't expect any issues with the environment. They are driven by a Grace digital radio, primarily so my wife can listen to NPR while gardening and I can enjoy streamed classical music from stations near and far. These speakers have great sound; it seems they like seeing the large volume of attic behind them in this sort of semi-infinite baffle installation. The bass is great, midrange is clean, the highs are crisp and well dispersed, and if you sit in the right area in the garden the stereo imaging is pretty good as well. The 16W/channel from the Grace radio is more than adequate to drive these to levels that would annoy our neighbors, so their sensitivity in this application is very good. I am very pleased with the MC65's. Pros: Install was very easy: Select a location, check for structure, trace the template, cut and mount - very easy. Cons: Can't think of any at this time.

Competition class of 2014
When competitors show up to a competition, they get their portraits taken so that the producers of the event can work their mugshots into TV and web broadcasts. Usually they are flashed on a screen one to a few times, and then are never seen again.
We thought it'd be fun to gather these portraits from the Burton U.S. Open that just went down in Vail, Colo. As it was the last major contest of the 2014 World Snowboard Tour, it seemed appropriate to use as a look-back at some of the players -- rookie and veteran alike -- who stood out this competition season. Disclaimer: The following is a sampling, not a full roster of people who ruled it this year.

Yet another senseless technology.
Looks extremely interesting. Saying it's senseless is stupid... Yes, you dont have any use for it. But a lot of people do.
Hell I know a hell of a lot of people who use windows for a web browser, IM, and playing the occasional game. I have a lot of em switched to linux, as they are sick and tired of malware threats/auto update reboots that auto reboot your computer for you/random stuff breaking over time. But a hell of a lot of em wont switch, because it prevents em from playing game X which they do every 2 months.
If I could take their existing windows license, put that in a VM. And let em play their game (in a LOT of cases wine isn't an option). Then that would open up a lot of more potentional users.
Besides, I've switched over a ton of people by letting them fallback to virtualbox/vmware. And after a while they stop needing to, and go 100% native linux. But during the switch, it's an important ability. Otherwise they tend to want dualboot, the second they hit a problem they dual boot into windows. And will stay there until something breaks.
This technology has its use. It seems to me that it practically invalidates WINE, although I could stand corrected.
That setup seems to be very tricky, maybe i test it too sometimes. I already checked that my sandy bridge system has pci pass-though with xen (but none of my older systems). Would be even cooler with nv+ati cards mixed or even together with intel onboard. Basically a new multicore system should be fast enough to power a virtualized multiseat system, maybe even cheaper than 2 or 3 basic pcs - and with real vga cards attached to each vm then even games are possible, mixed win+linux,...

The longest, unabridged edition of Online Commentaries & Diversions:
• Review: The Village Voice is almost hospitalized while reading Michael Kupperman's Tales Designed to Thrizzle Vol. 2. "Kupperman heaps absurdity upon absurdity…The result is a jubilant rococo, the strips all thrilling ornamentation…No exaggeration: I coughed hot soup out of my nose while reading the new hardbound volume of deadpan dadaist Michael Kupperman…" states Alan Scherstuhl.
• Review: Comic Book Resources looks at Tales Designed to Thrizzle Vol. 2 by Michael Kupperman. Brian Cronin loves the Moon 69 story. "The devolution of the ads as the story continues might be my favorite part…The second collection of Kupperman's individual Thrizzle issues JUST came out and it includes [Moon 69]! So go buy it, dammit!"
• Review: Tales Designed to Thrizzle Vol. 2 by Michael Kupperman shines at The AV Club. "Kupperman's work only gets funnier when read in bulk... Kupperman's comics take pre-existing popular culture-TV shows, advertising, other comics-and tweak them just a little until they become hilariously absurd," states Noel Murray.
• Plug: Time Out New York analyzes Tales Designed to Thrizzle Vol. 2 with one interactive panel. Cool!
• Review: Glen Weldon reviews The Comics Journal #302 on New Republic, exclusively the Maurice Sendak interview conducted by Gary Groth. "Why on earth would I want to read 100 pages of caustic carping? Because Sendak is funny. Deeply, passionately so. Read in full, Sendak's zingers lose their venom and evince a sincere and surprising warmth. He comes off as bitter, but not embittered—a fine distinction, perhaps, but a real one."
• Plug (video): Mark Judge made a music video for TCJ #302. Trust me, you'll want to see this.
• Plug: USA Today's Pop Candy mentions TCJ #302. "This week I've been reading the wonderful (and massive) issue No. 302, which contains a huge Maurice Sendak tribute as well as his final interview"
• Revew: Chris Estey of KEXP writes on some of our new titles like The Comics Journal #302, edited by Gary Groth, Kristy Valenti and Michael Dean. "Probably my favorite single issue magazine of 2013, it is actually a freakily-elevated edition of the long-running only-trustable trade magazine devoted to comics…it gives us a chance to sample the gamut of an ever-evolving and surprisingly inspiring art-form."
• Revew: Chris Estey of KEXP reviews our newest book of music criticism The Grammar of Rock by Alexander Theroux. "Ripping through this hilarious rage on banality and unexpected pleasures I thought, they don't make writers like this anymore…Drop that boring band biography and fetch this, if only for the mountains of lists of rarely-heard missing gems he has sampled and tasted beforehand for you."
• Review: Pop Matters has to tune into The Grammar of Rock by Alexander Theroux. John L. Murphy writes, "Naturally, the fun of The Grammar of Rock lies in its acerbic prose as well as its aesthetic insight…You'll either laugh or you won't. I laughed."
• Review: Washington Independent Review of Books also looks at Alexander Theroux's The Grammar of Rock. "Reading Alexander Theroux's The Grammar of Rock is like hitching a ride with a suspiciously awake truck driver who talks endlessly for hours…All in all, this book is a very cold love letter," says DJ Randy Cepuch.
• Plug: Wired runs 10 sketches by Janet Hamlin featured in her upcoming book, Sketching Guantanamo. Hamlin remembers sketching Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, "He would turn and pose — a deliberate turn, facing me, holding very steady."
• Review: Julio's Day by Gilbert Hernandez gets reviewed on on The AV Club. "Julio's Day(Fantagraphics) is as much about what's not on the page as what is...Fashions, mores, and technologies change; but desires and disappointments do not," writes Noel Murray.
• Review: Nerds of a Feather give an outstanding rating and review a recent reprint of Jack Jackson's work. Philippe Duhart writes, "Los Tejanos and Lost Cause are the products of serious historical research, and as such they are clear exhibitions of comics' potential as a viable media for academic and journalistic work…I appreciate that Johnson sticks with the perspective of the "losers" -- Juan Seguin's struggles against racism following Texas' rebellion and Texan Confederates' struggle to regain a sense of honor following the defeat of their cause."
• Review: Fingers on Blast reads Linda Medley's Castle Waiting Vol. 1. "The tales weave their way together seamlessly thanks to Medley's art. There is no simple way to describe it, but to say it draws you ever deeper into the story."
• Revew: Chris Estey of KEXP writes on some of our new titles Peter Bagge's Other Stuff which" features Bagge doing some sharp-witted journalism (on comedy festivals, especially) and historical stories…it is an electric, howlingly funny, bona-fide classic mangle of manic music history, prickly satire, and perfectly rendered cartooning."
• Review: Scoop covers Buz Sawyer Vol. 2: Sultry's Tiger by Roy Crane in one hell of a history lesson on newspaper and adventure comics. "Buz Sawyer may be the peak of the adventure strip as a genre…Crane's ability to walk a fine line between hyper-realism while still incorporating an easy to read and understand style places him among the greats in comic history," says Mark Squirek.
• Review: Scoop covers Mort Meskin's Out of the Shadows. "He is so skilled at body language that without reading a single word you can see the kid's enthusiasm for his grandfather's story grow across the first three panels," writes Mark Squirek.
• Interview: Comic Book Resources and Alex Dueben interview Tom Kacyznski about his books. Kacyznski says, "There's an easy willingness to imagine the collapse of everything instead of small changes in the political system that could fix a lot of the problems that we're having. Those kinds of themes interest me."
• Review: Beta Testing the Apocalypse by Tom Kaczynski gets a look-see on B-Sides & Rarities. Elizabeth Simins writes, "Kaczynski's style involves a pretty dedicated commitment to setting scenes with lyrical descriptions as much as imagery, which is something I associate with the space between "regular" fiction and comics…You should read it."
• Review: Grovel reviews The Hypo by Noah Van Sciver. "It's a surprising but fascinating insight into the psyche of a man that outsiders would normally assume to be a sort of political superhuman, but Sciver adds depth and soul to the two-dimensional image of the man with half a beard and a top hat," penned Andy Shaw.
• Review: Comic Pusher enjoys their read of Chris Wright's new book: "In Black Lung Wright presents a world of ceaseless violence and pain, his reflectively brutal cartooning interwoven with elegiac prose, with the very syntax of comic storytelling breaking down under the memory and transformative agony of loss and obsession," says Jeffrey O. Gustafson.
• Review: Warren Leming over at Logos Journal reviews Everything is an Afterthought: The life and times of Paul Nelson. "Author Kevin Avery has done us a great service in bringing Paul Nelson's woefully neglected story and life on the music culture scene into focus. This is a book for all those interested in what made 20th Century American music an anthem for the world."
• Plug: Jade at D&Q Bookstore digs into Your Vigor for Life Appalls Me by R. Crumb. "The extraordinary title is only matched by the incredible insight into the iconoclast's mind and the ultra-snazzy portrait of an early Crumb on the cover, sporting a corduroy jacket and tie… A definite must-read for any Crumb fan."
• Review: The Comics Journal digs Black is the Color by Julia Gfrörer. Sean T. Collins writes, "Gfrörer's most moving comic to date, Black Is the Color eroticizes suffering not to glamorize it, but to endure it."
• Interview: Robin McConnell interviews Julia Gfrörer about her webcomic and soon-to-be-in-print book, Black is the Color on Inkstuds.
• Review: Comics Bulletin loves Charles Forsman's The End of the
Fucking World. Geoffrey Lapid writes "Instead of allowing you to step back and look at James and Alyssa through wistful adult hindsight, Forsman's fluid and subdued linework take us right into those moments that you only understand when you're 17 years-old, proudly oblivious and doomed…James and Alyssa feel like real, substantial characters rather than simple broad strokes alluding to a deeper history."
• Interview: Ed Piskor is interviewed by Jackie Mantey for Columbus Alive during his Ohio art residency and on Hip Hop Family Tree. "The purity of intent is something that's important to me with anything I come across," Piskor believes.
• Interview: Kelli Korducki interviews Jaime Hernandez on behalf of Hazlitt about Love and Rockets. Jaime answers, "I like the way women react to situations. Guys in a certain situation mostly try to keep it cool, keep their cover, keep things in control. With a lot of women I know, you get eight different reactions to a situation."
• Review: Jon Longhi looks at Spain Rodriguez in Having a Book Moment. Cruisin' with the Hound, a recent collection, is "it's all gang fights, hot rods, teenage mayhem and its wonderfully entertaining and beautifully illustrated."
• Plug: Craig Fischer on the Heroes Online Blog now looks at Messages in a Bottle: Comic Book Stories by B. Krisgstein. "Thanks to Sadowski, I'm now crazy for Krigstein."
• Plug: Earth Science Picture of the day is Elephant Feet, Arizona, (shot by Stu Witmer) as seen in the comic pages Krazy Kat by George Herriman.
• Plug: Heidi MacDonald over at The Beat enjoyed Tom Spurgeon's interview with Gary Groth. Tom also put up a visit of Fantagraphics in pictures, but you know, didn't include the new office.
• Plug: The LA Times and David Ulin say some touching things after the announcement of Kim's cancer diagnosis. Thank you.

It's a very good, multi protocol and feature rich application. There's no better gtk equivalent.
Phoronix: Pidgin 2.8 Program Officially Released
Pidgin, the popular open-source instant messaging program formerly known as GAIM, has just reached version 2.8. The main web-site has not yet been updated to reflect Pidgin 2.8, but this is an exciting release with a number of new features...
It's a very good, multi protocol and feature rich application. There's no better gtk equivalent.
Can you do videocalls (webcam) within MSN with this program?
I really hoped Pidgin will bring us to the world of open voice&video calls (using Jingle).
Long time ago they introduced voice&video on Linux, which seems to work fine. However none of the teams that tried to add voice&video on Windows didn't succeed.
Not all of my friends are using Linux, so I really need this from Pidgin. Using Skype as alternative is not a fun.
I've been using Pidgin for a while now (actively; I tried it out a few times a long time ago), and I have to say it's really awesome. Both on Windows and Linux. I especially like the plugins such as gFire (those who created it rock!), MusicTracker (even though getting it to work on x64 was a little problematic) and Skype for Pidgin (which still needs work even with things like file transfer, but at least it brings some consistency here as well). So it's good to see it being developed as actively as before.
I prefer generally pidgin to empathy, but unfortunately I won't be using it unless it gets gnome shell integration as good as empathy's
Although I think Pidgin is a really great program there are also a few things that I dont like. For example the libpurple devs seem to be reluctant to implement the Freedesktop.org XDG Config spec and move their ~/.purple stuff to the .local/share and .config folder.
The second thing is that there is no such search function as in empathy or skype that u can just type and it will show you the contact u are looking for.
I completely agree with you! I realize that they are volunteers but I think that the Pidgin devs severely underestimate the importance of audio/video on Windows to facilitate communicating with open protocols (XMPP+Jingle) instead of relying on proprietary, centralized solutions (Skype).
Until the Pidgin developers get their act together on this, you may want to try Jitisi. It's a new kid on the block and under heavy development with no (as of yet) stable releases, but it is cross-platform and supports audio/video via SIP or XMPP on each of the platforms it supports. It is the only free software solution for XMPP+Jingle on Windows at this point.

I like the HP and was happy to find a new (refurbished) one for so cheap on Overstock. It's a great laptop but the spacebar sticks sometimes and makes a squeaking sound each time it's hit. It doesn't bother me but drives my husband nuts.
This laptop looked like the machine of my dreams for travel. I thought it would be easy to cart around and offer enough memory to support my work programs. After just 6 weeks, I began receiving a Bios error when I turn on the computer. Seems to be an error with the OS and my technician is going to reload the system completely. I will never purchase a refurbished machine again. Even a lesser model brand new would have lasted me longer than 60 days before reloading it. Nothing but trouble here. Be careful!!! Also, lots of bells and whistles but no web camera.
First laptop came to us defective from the get go (Dell). We wanted a replacement rather than a refund but the second laptop is defective as well (HP)!!!!!!! Now we are getting a refund and getting a laptop from somewhere else.
this computer looks like they just took it off someones desk and throwed it in a box and shipped it. no paper work, no instructions. power cord balled up and thrown in box. never order here again!
The wireless button didn't work. Turned out it's a known issue with this computer. Returned it the next day.
The items must arrive at our warehouse within 30 days of purchase. You must return items in their original condition to qualify for a full refund. We will issue a partial refund of up to 70 percent if returned items have been opened, used, or returned late. More details

European parliament rejects bloc's budget agreementBy JAMES KANTER
The New York Times | March 14,2013AP Photo
A woman stands in an almost empty indoor food market in Madrid on Wednesday. Leaders and experts are coming round to the realization that, instead of helping, austerity has made it harder for governments to balance the books and pull themselves out of recession.BRUSSELS — The lawmakers of the European Union gave austerity a poke in the eye Wednesday by overwhelmingly rejecting the bloc's proposed budget of 960 billion euros in its current form.
EU leaders deadlocked over the seven-year plan in November but finally reached a deal last month after a 24-hour marathon of talks that resulted in spending cuts for the first time in the union's history.
Lawmakers at the European Parliament cast doubt on that plan Wednesday, casting 506 votes in favor of a resolution demanding significant changes to the way the money should be spent and the option to raise the overall sum in the coming years. There were 161 votes against the resolution and 23 abstentions.
The union's budget — for farming, transportation and other infrastructure, and big research projects — amounts to about 1 percent of the bloc's estimated gross domestic product over its seven-year span. But it involves furious horse-trading as leaders focus on getting the best deal for their own countries, rather than putting the emphasis on pan-European considerations.
The opposition from the Parliament, which was given the formal power to veto budgets under the Lisbon Treaty of 2009, presents a significant hurdle. As a result of the vote Wednesday, the governments of the union's 27 member states must now work out another compromise — this time with Parliament. The process could take months.
"It was foreseeable that the European Parliament would refuse," Martin Schulz, the president of the legislature, said at a news conference shortly after the vote. "We don't want to see the European Union going in the direction of a deficit union."
Schulz was referring to resistance by some national governments to allocating more money at the start of each year to ensure that projects are fully funded from 2014 to 2020, the period of the budget.
The Parliament's resolution called on EU governments to settle their outstanding bills and to give scope to the Parliament and to EU governments to move funds among different areas of the budget to meet needs as they arise. That means money that might ordinarily go unspent would be spent, but without changing the overall budget figure.
But the resolution also called for a review of the budget with the possibility of increasing spending. Many members of Parliament said that raising the overall amount of the budget should be an option, particularly if the economic crisis now gripping the union tapered off. The decision about who would conduct the review is likely to be an important part of the negotiations in coming months.
Schulz said he would formally present the resolution voted on Wednesday to EU leaders when they gathered in Brussels for a two-day summit meeting on the bloc's economy starting Thursday evening.
Austerity also could be a core topic at the meeting if leaders of countries such as Spain and France seek to emphasize the need for measures to support growth against calls by leaders of countries such as Germany and Finland for budgetary discipline.
Another focus of the meeting is expected to be Cyprus, the latest eurozone country to require a bailout.
The leaders of the 17 countries of the euro area will hold a separate meeting Thursday night that is to be attended by the newly elected center-right president of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiades.
Then, on Friday, eurozone finance ministers are expected to assess ways of overcoming the remaining obstacles to a deal.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Just before its $45 billion deal with Time Warner Cable collapsed over regulators... Full StoryFoundation hires Full Story -

The coolest sneaker has arrived in NYC.
This past June, Steve Madden brought the Italian sneaker brand, Superga, to SoHo with the opening of a small store on Crosby Street.
Most recently, Superga tapped Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen as its newest creative directors. Known for their impeccable taste level and two successful design labels, they will be collaborating with the shoe brand for the Spring 2012 collection.
The Superga x The Row collection will offer the 2750 sneaker model in luxurious fabrics like cashmere, wool and Italian linen.
Superga has a rich heritage, having been founded by Walter Martiny in 1911 in Torino, Italy. By 1925, the Superga 2750 was created using vulcanized rubber soles. Vulcanized rubber is a chemical process which converts rubber, with the addition of sulphur, into a compound material. These types of soles are highly durable and can be bent and folded but will always retain their original shape. In the early 1970s, new sport models were added to the original 2750 model in a variety of colors.
Since is inception, Superga sneakers have been considered the "people's shoes of Italy." Used mostly by Italians going from the city to the beach because it is an easy shoes to wear and can dress up any casual outfit instantly. Today, these shoes can be found in a multitude of colors and fabrics for both men, women and children. The shoes can also be thrown in the washer to add a vintage touch to your pair.
The Superga x The Row shoes will complement the beautiful fabrics used in our Hickey Freeman suits and sportcoats. Pair one of our wool or cashmere sport coats with a pair of rolled up vintage jeans and add the sneakers for a smart look. With many Superga fans at Hickey Freeman headquarters, we will surely see the look all around the office next season.

Benalmadena hotels
Most of the millions of visitors, including my friends and family, still opt for the beach-side hotels, which offer views to the sea and the mountains, subtropical gardens, large swimming pools, and family-friendly entertainment. Generally, these hotels are located within walking distance to bars, restaurants and clubs, and just a short drive to the golf courses.
But there are also a growing number of rural getaways which I'm continually urging my guests to try out, so they can explore the majestic landscapes, plentiful wildlife, whitewashed villages and the time-honoured country traditions. And, as the Costa del Sol seeks to diversify its appeal, you'll now see many character-led, city-centre boutique hotels cropping up. I find these are the ideal base to discover the bright, bold culture and history of southern Spain.
I believe some of the most unforgettable places to stay are Paradors, top-end, state-run hotels usually set in historic buildings such as monasteries and castles. The Costa del Sol's Paradors are in Malaga (two), Nerja, Antequera and Ronda – and all five have their own bragging rights. For instance, Malaga's Gibralfaro Castle Parador, which is built on the hilltop, next to the ancient Alcazaba fortress affords spectacular views over this historic city and Mediterranean.
Things to consider before booking
- Due to the amount of accommodation on offer, hotels often try and under cut each other on price, especially in the winter – which is great news for people looking for a good deal. Shop around and look out for deals.
- Prices rocket during fiestas. Every town has its own 'feria', or fiesta, and they're all at different times of the year as they relate to patron saints' days.
- The Costa del Sol covers a massive area and each place has a very different character and facilities. The type of holiday you want will guide you to the right destination. For example, don't stay in Puerto Banús if you're after a quiet, low-key vacation; and perhaps Estepona would be better for golfers than Nerja.
- Most advertised hotel rates don't include breakfast or IVA (VAT).
- Some hotels can charge a fortune for breakfast and you can often find better and cheaper alternatives at a local café or bar around the corner.
My 'patch' as a reporter and features writer for a big Spanish newspaper, is the entire Costa del Sol and as such I've stayed in hotels and hostels the length and breadth of the area for more than 12 years. From a crumbling, independent hotel in Malaga whose 'lift' turned out to be a dumb-waiter and whose tiny rooms were seemingly decorated as a grand catholic cathedral, to the minimalist chic of a luxurious spa hotel where I shared breakfast with Debbie Harry and Carla Bruni, I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly of Costa accommodation. The hotels I've chosen here reflect the diversity on offer in this massive destination and they range from the super-luxurious to the budget-friendly; from the urban centres to the remote Andalusian countryside.

Phoronix: Linux 3.9 Kernel Released With Lots Of Features
Linus Torvalds officially released the Linux 3.9 kernel and with the new open-source kernel comes support for a whole lot of new features...
I hope it will be avaiable soon in the manjaro repositories
Has anyone tested the LZO performance of the new kernel? Particularly with respect to btrfs?
Finally! Been waiting for this kernel release due to the audio improvements, thanks for the post Micheal. One of the weak spots of Linux is still the audio, going to install 3.9 right now.

A great story teller can transport you to another world. They immerse you in the detail where you can see, smell and hear the narrative they are weaving. Great digital storytelling should be just as engaging and immersive, and tools like Storybird can really help students make this happen.

So we thought we'd start an ongoing collection–that is, one that is updated to reflect trends and changes–of the best resources for teaching with the iPad.
This will include resources from all of the best sources, from Apple's own stuff to TeachThought to edutopia to MindShift to DMLCentral to Jackie Gerstein and more. We can update it, or make it a wiki to crowdsource the process, or you can add suggestions in the comments below. Based on the activity of the comments, and the sharing of the post, we'll decide how to handle it moving forward.
Great resource for a 1:1 iPad classroom/school. However, this is a great model for any 1:1 setup. You truly need to consider the Teacher/Student/Parent paradigm when deciding on applications that enhance the learning environment. Where there is not workflow vision the people will perish.

Book creator has probably been the app I have used most, in my teaching, with pupils and in my training. The blank canvas aspect means it can be used across the whole curriculum and the addition of the pen tool in the last few weeks has added to that.
We use Showbie at school for pupils to share their work, including books made with Book Creator from the iPads and home to the teachers for assessment. Recently, we have used both the Pen Tool and Record feature to give feedback on the pupils' eBooks. The pupils send their books using Showbie and the teacher opens them up on his/her iPad. They can then annotate with their voice, pen and text. The book can then be sent back to the pupils using Showbie. The pupil can either change the original book and delete the annotated one or change the annotated book and delete the original.
The screenshot shows a book of a Science experiment. The teacher can annotate with arrows but also add audio feedback. All elements of Book Creator can be deleted so the pupil can restore any annotated book to the original.
This is obviously not a new idea but the pen tool has certainly made this quicker in a widely used app such as Book Creator.
BookCreator, a really good app!
Next year when we start on Chromebooks!

Comparison against MSAA would be nice.
Phoronix: NVIDIA FXAA Anti-Aliasing Performance
A few months back the NVIDIA Linux driver introduced support for FXAA, a new anti-aliasing method. In this article are benchmarks of FXAA plus more information on this post-process shader-based anti-aliasing method.
Comparison against MSAA would be nice.
FXAA is not higher quality than MSAA/CSAA variants. It does a good job evening out the sharp edges, but at the cost of adding a blur to the picture. Sharp details such as texture details will also be lost to some degree.
Michael: It would be great if you could do a quality comparison of different AA modes (screenshots in png of course), but there are still somewhat limited amounts of high quality graphics available in Linux games. A proper AA setting becomes increasingly important when large amounts of transparent textures are used (typically for grass, foliage, fences, etc.).
It annoys me the amount of effort developers put into methods of hiding lack of detail, instead of developing new effective rendering algorithms. The raw power of current high end GPUs are immense if you can utilize it. My GTX 580 is capable of displaying 8M textured polygons at 70 fps in 1680x1050 with 32xCSAA and 16xAF applied.
Anyone else get the framerate halfed with mesa's mlaa?
Wow, that's useless. On Windows, FXAA costs me 2 or 3 FPS, not 20. This looks seriously botched on Linux.
This is how it should look like:
Notice how FXAA has an almost non-existent impact.
Last edited by RealNC; 09-18-2012 at 11:27 AM.
Developers probably should look at blurring artifacts. The filters are great. If you use them intelligently, and for performance, you can also get a very good look with low settings. I found 2xMSAA and -0.5LOD with 2xAniso sufficient. Higher seems to blur/cause unnaturalness. Maybe some highend cards would want to combine that with SSAA. And "jittered antialiasing" such as in doom3 also adds on top of that, and the jitter is minimal when in SSAA mode.
Peace Be With You.
