Just press the [Windows] key and start typing
This photo gallery is also available as a post in the Windows and Office Blog.
Are you a Windows 8 user who is pining away for the old Start menu? Do you really need it? Or are you just looking for some comforting familiarity?
If you need that familiarity, there are actually several third-party Start menu replacement options such as StartW8 and Classic Shell, both of which are free. Or you can purchase Stardock's Start8 for $4.99. There are several others out there but these are the ones that I have heard most people talk about using.
However, if you really think about how much you've used the Start menu in recent years, chances are good that you'll find that you don't really need it anymore. In fact, Windows 8 provides plenty of very efficient ways to launch your Desktop applications - you just need to be aware of them. In this blog post, I'll show you several techniques that you can use to launch your Desktop applications in Windows 8.
The [Windows] Key
If you think of the [Windows] key on your keyboard as a replacement for the old Start button on the screen, you'll find that the Windows 8's Start screen provides you with a great way to launch your applications and other desktop-based tools. All you need to do is press the [Windows] key and start typing the first few letters in the name of the application that you want to launch. As soon as you do, the Apps Search tool will launch and begin searching for an application that matches.
For example, if you want to launch WordPad, just press the [Windows] key and type word. When you do, the Apps Search tool will immediately find WordPad, as shown. To launch the application, just click the icon/tile or press [Enter].

I was one of you h8rs when I first played around with this version in the beta days. My opinion remained unchanged well into the retail stage, but this is only because I was so resentful of the fact that Microsoft was forcing us to migrate to a desktop with no start button. Once I got over it and gave the new configuration a chance, I realized windows 8 can be a very productive OS. That is, if you just take a little time to learn where everything is now. True, it is designed to work best with a touch screen, but many of these advantages are backwards compatible with the traditional mouse and cursor. For instance, if you swipe in from the left, you switch between active apps. No need to return to start screen. If you want to launch a new app, just swipe in from the right (revealing the charms bar) and type the first few letters of the app's name. Still no need to return to start screen. Whether you launch an app from start screen or charms bar, you still only need to swipe in from left to switch back to any previous app. For those of you lacking a touch screen: Swipe in from right = Move cursor to top right corner Swipe in from left = Move cursor to top left corner and click to switch through apps. Move the cursor down from this position and reveal tiles of all open apps. 8 is Gr8, just give it a chance. ; )
I agree with Food for Thought and Gretchen...Windows8 is for tablets and the windows phone, not the middle aged computer user with serious word processing needs. I am having a hell of a time with this program....everytime I want to cut or paste or print or even continue an e-mail thread, I have to click the windows button and start all over. I found a short-cut chart (ie; control+p = print), but that crap goes back to the dinosaur DOS systems I used in the 1980's but this is retroactive and counter intuitive, not an improvement. Windows8 is for 8th graders. How 'bout Windows50 for real people who aren't glued to tablets, cell phones and facebook?
As I have mentioned in this area earlier, it is not difficult for a non tablet, non android, non touch person (me) to configure a Windows 8 system to look similar to a XP or Windows 7 system with a minimum amount of effort. What you get is a faster boot up and boot down and a more responsive system than the old dual core system that I had retired. It is now on loan to a complete novice who is going to use it with her applications to see if she should upgrade her old XP system. I just put the three applications that she uses most often on the tiles and on the lower bar of the desktop and we will see how it goes. The biggest problem I see is that for me to upgrade, I will have to re-buy several programs that I now use. I have also seen that some drivers are hard to find, if they exist at all.
It is my understanding that in all previous versions of windows a large user could configure a system and then bring up all subsequent systems to look exactly like the original configured system. I have set my XP upgrade to have tiles that look like my icons on my XP desktop and also have the lower bar of the desktop to have icons of my frequently used programs. I understand that you can also configure it to boot directly to Desktop if you want or add a third party Start Button. Business will just configure a system to look like what they want and configure it to do what they want and they will, perhaps, able to use older equipment for a longer period of time because my old XP is a lot faster and more responsive with Windows 8.
Microsoft could have implemented a slightly better Start function. Using the Start panel, if you type e.g. Freecell, search, or shutdown - zero results. Shutdown especially would have been a useful transitional 'command'
Microsoft should issue a direction to their developers to spend their time developing improvements that are actually worthwhile to the computer user, not just being the equivalent, metaphorically speaking, of a new dog on the block and announcing his arrival by searching for the nearest firehydrant to pee on. Once again, MS just assumes it knows best what is good for you; that everyone has a tablet and is just dying to get their greasy fingerprints all over their computer screen; and are a bunch of mindless idiots just waiting to be lead. Have news for you MS, which is not the case. You've screwed up a perfectly functional "search files and folders" function in Win 7 and now the Start Menu in WIn 8. I just can't wait for Win 9 to see why they will screw up there!
This is completely ass-backwards. With Windows 7 if I want to start a calculator, or Wordpad, or Paint, I just click on Start->All Programs->Accessories menu. Now you're saying with Windows 8 I would need to grab the keyboard, then type in the name of the program? How is this an improvement over simply being able to click on what I want? Not to mention that that same "search" feature won't work with my emails and other documents, like it does now? Windows 7 is cleaner, neater, and faster. I don't have to have a million things pinned to my task bar, or icons all over the desktop. They're right there in my start menu where they should be, when I need them. Not to mention that some of our enterprise apps don't support pinning to the task bar anyway, and with it's myriad other issues, Windows 8 will never work on our corporate environment. Although I suppose our cleaning ladies would enjoy billing us for 50 extra boxes of monitor wipes each month... :-/
It's not uncommon for me to look for the shortcut/program I want because I don't recall what it's called. Sometimes I know the action I want to take, but the program that gives me that capability is not named similar to the function. If I pin everything I ever use that follows this logic I might have a few layers of shortcuts on the taskbar... I will be loading a start menu replacement program.
Microsoft acts as if users have no choice but to use the Windows 8 desktop. Alas, no. To my mind the sane business decision would be to have user selectable desktop of Windows 7 like and Metro Windows 8 type. It could be selectable by keyboard or run like a virtual machine, without all the VM overhead. That way users would have had time to learn how to remain productive with the new desktop shell and not suffer a learning curve and lost productivity while they do. There is still a lot of confusion about the touch screen interface. A large majority of users don't have a touch screen laptop or desktop. That my be reversed in 5 to 7 years, but it isn't true now. The perception exists that without a touchscreen a person is stuck in a productivity degraded mode. That is a problem for Microsoft at least as much as it is for their customer base. Microsoft reminds me of Lily Tomlin's Ernestine character. To paraphrase the inimitable Ms. Tomline ""We don't care; we don't have to. We're the Microsoft company." If they don't wake up fast that line may be as anachronistic as the original telephone company line.
Fantastic OS for touch-enabled devices. How many of those do you have in your corporate environment? The removal of the start menu really hurts corporate adoption, as a result a large percentage of environments have no plans to implement it. One more iteration with the start menu would have been smarter. The touch-enabled laptops would come out, and then when everyone's used to touching their screen the start-menu would hardly be missed. Give it 2 years and the corporate market will have more touch-enabled devices, maybe then we'll see higher adoption rates.
As a tech, I know there would be hell to pay for any IT guy that installs this on a business network. ESPECIALLY to your execs! As usual I was all set to not like a new Microsoft OS until at least service pack 1 but I just installed it to my personal laptop and admittedly I really like the features and structure once i caught on. I admit it is more fluff than actual meat and potatoes. As far as power users, you should go into desktop mode and load up the taskbar with your fav programs and work the conventional way, and then hop into metro when using the apps which are pretty cool. I love the reading mode of the news apps.
All the years of mouse dexterity training down the drain :[
Asking us to forget the "start menu" is like asking someone to forget one of their kids. They are trying to reinvent the wheel (start menu) and it isn't working well so far. I have had the Win8 RC for a while. It has some good features (I really like the Google Chrome tile and the features available only to 8 users), but in a production environment this product requires training for a new OS. The total cost of ownership of this product is going to be high. The only calls I really get are from home users wanting to know "is it better than 7", or "we just bought it can you HELP US!", not business customers.
Since I am using windows 8 love all of your tips latest 100shortcuts come in handy getting to learn them little by little seems we use win key for almost everything sure this key will wear out fast. Many do not like 8 not as bad as they seem just have to give it a shot
Well, a WannaBe at least. One to two iterations late to the game.
Even with the tips in this article, Windows 7 is start far more usable for traditional desktop users and power users. I am a power user, I work with several windows simultaneously across multiple monitors. I can do that on Windows 8 classic desktop, but I can't do that with native apps. Native apps force you to run them at full screen, I never run anything at full screen. And the tip about using the windows key, most power users will try Windows 8 in a virtual environment where the windows key is not applicable, as well as having to move the mouse down to the bottom left corner pixel to get the start menu. That doesn't work well in virtual either. Let's face it, Windows 8 is a tablet OS, not a desktop OS. I have already heard that 90% of enterprises are skipping it. What does that tell you Microsoft? I hope they right this wrong in Windows 9, if there ever is a Windows 9.
Why do you think it's easier to type in what I'm looking for instead of just double-clicking on an icon on the desktop? And what were they thinking when they buried the Shut Down button? EVERYTHING in Windows 8 takes MORE clicks, MORE work than in Windows 7 and XP. The truth is, they want to force everyone into a tablet world whether we fit in that frame or not.
The new start/user interface is a CF. Why change something that truly has worked great since...2001? And both Win7 and Win8, once you peel away the "fancy" shell, a lot of the dialog boxes are just like out of XP. If doing a revamp, why not go all the way? And don't get me started on the "ribbons" in Office 2010. Once you eventually find your command, the dialog box that opens up is, again, from XP. It has just been made far too confusing. And, I really like Windows, I have very little problems with either XP or Win7. But a redesign just for its own sake? Maybe it will attract "fresh" users...
If all 3 were visible, maybe an [hr] breaking them up, would be fine. It would be the same as windows 7. But it's hard to explain to someone over the phone, where to click after typing "dpi". In 7 it was just. "Click your start menu" "type D P I" "Yes, that's a D, like Dog, P like Pie, and I like Idiot" (jk) "now press enter" "Pick the option that says smaller and click ok." "Restart your computer." I get this call about once a week, that's why it sticks in my mind.
I have been using windows 8 since March and by now am quite used to accessing all the options using the Windows key and/or the mouse. If I need to work with apps from the desktop I use the Windows + D key that is as fast as moving the mouse and clicking on Start or an Icon. If I want to brose the Internet, check the weather, the stock market or the news, I like the live tiles and being able to access them directly from Start.
I am an "older" IT guy. I have no issues with Win 8. It is very different and has a learning curve as did each new release. My "older" friends who are now using it who r not IT saavy r really having a hard time adjusting. There is no happy medium unless u understand the uses of the Windows key. Most people my age don't have any clue what that means. Most don't know how to search for the information on the net. Maybe an icon or panel readily available on the new Start Page which allows them to revert to the old look temporarily or displays the "Windows Key" options (options would be selectable) would be helpful. Please don't reply with "use the tutorial". Most don't know where that is and after going through it would be even more confused. This is just the opinion of an old guy..... LOL
I think you are missing the point with your comment, "I have set my XP upgrade to have tiles that look like my icons on my XP desktop." Under Win VIsta, I booted directly to the desktop. Under Win 7, I booted directly to the desktop. So give me a valid and logical reason why I should have to deal with tiles particularly when the dumbass reason provided by Microsoft is "it makes it easier for tablet users". Would you like to compare the number of computer users just in North America to the number of tablet users? A small drop in the bucket by comparison! What's the next illogical step for MS to take? Have Windows X only work with touch screens? I have no problems with improvements but this is NOT an improvement and MS lately seems to be into making changes that are NOT an improvement, just a change for the sake of change. Why do you think MS Office 2007 received such deluge of criticism? Because the changes were good? Their sales plummetted and MS Office 2010 wasn't much better. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not interested in greeted with the additional tasks of making up tiles to replace my icons just so my desktop and laptop look like a tablet which, in my opinion, is nothing more than a tool for entertainment or mindless idiots who can't do anything without immediately posting to facebook or some social media. If you like tiles, good for you. I don't! Furthermore, I found it a total waste of my time to "upgrade" my laptop to Win 8 and then most of a day removing the operating system; cleaning and reformatting my hard drive and then reinstalling the software programs that I use on a daily basis. It seems that MS is so determined to pump out new versions of WIndows OS that they don't really care if a change is beneficial to the majority of users or not. As long as it is a change, that is what counts.
As soon as I upgraded to Win 8 there was a calculator live tile staring at me. I haven't used it long but when I went to the right side - Apps came up and I found the apps I used in XP and dragged them over in small tiles. I could also put them on the bottom of my Desktop just like with XP. I don't see the problems.
I agree, I also sometimes accidentally look for it, and the new Start screen/Metro screen doesn't fully replace it. But it is far better than the old start menu and things like searching for a program in the start menu could easily be done in Computer or File Explorer better.
I disagree. Everyone wanted ipads, touches, android tablets, etc. So they are listening and giving you Windows 7 with an option to go into the Metro UI. You don't even have to use Metro- and the Start menu was provem pointless through polls... we just are still looking for it to feel comfortable to what we are used to. On top of that Windows 8 also now works with the ARM architecture. Windows tablets, phones and touchscreens just got faster and much better, and Windows 7 just got some big advancements if you choose to use them- in the form of Win 8.
I have it on both my normal non-touch PC and my touch tablet-pc. Metro does not need touch at all and just gives you a better looking start menu that gives you all the features of ipads and android in addition to still having a full upgraded Win 7.
No my friend, you can move your mouse to lowler left corner and have Start Screen Tile, you can pin yours programs to Start Screen so you can take Access too
I just upgraded an XP system. It now boots in a fraction of the time. As soon as my upgrade was complete, I had a big Desktop tile looking at me. If I click on it, I'm on the desktop. Now on my XP, all my well used programs were icon shortcuts on the desktop and also on the bottom bar. On my Win 8, I looked for those Apps and created little tiles and also put them on the bottom bar on my Desktop. So now I can click on the application tile and it opens in desktop or I can click on Desktop tile and go to desktop and click on the icon on the bottom bar. Pretty much the same as XP. Now power off is even simpler. In XP, you have to click on start, then turn off computer, then turn off or restart. In Windows 8 you mouse over to the right corner, click on power and then click on power off. I think that is actually one less step.
It's almost exactly like a faster copy of Win 7 with a new Start menu... in which the old start menu was useless I might add, since everything could already easily be done through Computer, File Explorer, etc. On top of that your Start menu can now act like an additional ipad/android-like OS in addition to your "Win 7" desktop if you choose to go that far.
I have not booted directly to desktop, but I have seen a lot of articles saying they know how to do it. Also, I upgraded a slow retired system and found it now to be useable and quite fast. So if you had a computer like mine, you would also had to buy a new laptop and then do all the steps to clean out the Windows 8. Even if you don't boot directly to desktop, you could wipe out all the tiles and just leave the desktop tile, add the third party Start Button and uses the included program (I forget the weird name) that allows you to bypass the login and guess what you have? You have a faster, more responsive O/S that presents you with one tile that says Desktop, which you can bypass if you want or just click on it. It would be faster to do that configuration than to redo your entire system to an older O/S. I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill.
So, you can set it up to look like a Win 7 or Xp if you want. You can use touch if you want. You can run it on tablets if you want. You can add a third party Start Button, if you have to have it. You can boot directly to the Desktop (I am told). So why complain if you can do whatever you want with it and it is faster and more responsive and who knows what other improvements will become evident or updated in it. Oh, and they will sell it to you for $40 as an upgrade.
can skim more of your money. If they had left the command set in Vista, Win 7, and Win 8 the same as it was in Win XP all that software and hardware designed to work perfectly with Win XP would work perfectly with them, but Microsoft made a deliberate choice to make them incompatible so that software would not just transfer over and they could now sell you new copies of MS Office that will work properly because the older version of MSO won't work properly with the new versions of Windows. Many businesses have mission critical software and / or hardware that works perfectly with Win XP and there is NO new version that works on Win Vista, Win 7, or Win 8, thus they have NO option but to stay with Win XP. In some cases there are new versions, but that requires a significant outlay of extra cash in a poor economy when staying with what they have continues to work perfectly, so why spend the money just because Microsoft want to rip them off.
You're missing the point. No one is complaining about less time to boot. The complaints focus on "change for the sake of change", hence the metaphor "new dog on the block searching for a fire hydrant to pee on (the odour left behind announcing his arrival to others) Using some of your examples: - in Win 7 to power off...click Start; click Shutdown = 2 clicks. What could be simpler? - in XP, all your well-used programs were icon shortcuts on your desktop. I like a clean desktop so mine aren't. What problem does Microsoft or you, for that matter, have with "choice" vs change for the sake of change. - if you like to create "little tiles" all over your desktop, go for it! I'm not interested in creating "little tiles" and resent being forced into doing so. I am quite capable of clicking Start --> Programs --> (select the program) = 3 Clicks. Furthermore, how many tiles do you want to create for one program. For example, System Mechanic Pro has two main programs - SMP and Drive Scrubber. Do I create 2 tiles for the desktop? How about Norton's Internet Security? There is "Update", "Quick Scan", "Full Scan", etc. There's another 5 or 6 tiles. Do you now get the point because I have numerous other examples if you don't! If you want to be a sheep for MS, I'm happy for you. But give me a choice and let everyone be happy with real improvements, not cosmetic ones and certainly not one that is geared towards a small minority called "tablet users".
On Windows 7 you can just hit shutdown. In my case I have to click because what I do on Windows 7 is Hybrid Sleep. I was doing the comment from XP and looking at that. I knew I did the same steps on Windows 7, but forgot that it is because of my sleep choice. It still holds that mousing to the right and clicking on Power and shutdown is only two steps for those that think it is three steps and that it is a big deal are wrong.
"1. On my Win 7, to shutdown, you must click on start, turn off and then you get a window that asks you to choose between Restart and Turn off." I support over 100 W7 systems. On all of them, to shut down I click teh Start button and then the Shutdown button. It sounds like you're clicking the menu button with the triangle icon located to the right of the Shutdown button.
I am sorry I didn't see this sooner, I hope you are still around. 1. On my Win 7, to shutdown, you must click on start, turn off and then you get a window that asks you to choose between Restart and Turn off. That is 3 steps. on Window 8 you mouse over to the right corner and choose power and turn off, which is two steps and it doesn't grind forever to actually turn off. 2. With my antivirus programs and I have tried several. You click on one icon and then get a window that tells you your choices. Just one click. 3. Individual programs may require some adjustment, but the only advantage to the Start is that fact that you can pin programs there also or have it display recently used programs. So if you need that, then you can use an add on program to get that back. Overall for me, it looks very similar to the way I have my XP and Win 7 set up, but much faster, so I don't see the big deal. P.S. I just read that if you mouse over to the left side, you get your Start back, but I have not tried it yet.

|2012 - The All Children's Hospital Year in Review
As we bid goodbye to 2012, we look back at another great year at All Children's Hospital. In addition to providing outstanding medical care to children, the hospital had many highlights during the past year.
After a major renovation, the former Physicians Office Building (POB) was redesigned and dedicated as the Child Development and Rehabilitation Center. The CDRC includes improved sound booths in Audiology, a fully equipped sports gym, preschool classrooms, feeding kitchens in Speech Pathology and a teen gym with a rock climbing wall. There's an ADL (Activities of Daily Living) suite in Physical and Occupational Therapy. The building is also home to the new Autism Center, ABA and Developmental Pediatrics.
Over $3.7 million was raised during the 29th Annual All Children's Telethon in June. The Tampa Bay community was also generous in December, donating over $190,000 during Tampa Bay's US 103.5 Cares for Kids Radiothon.
Paul Rothman, M.D. the new Dean of the Medical Faculty and CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine, visited ACH in August to meet with faculty, staff and community leaders.
The All Children's Hospital Guild announced a three-year pledge to raise $900,000 to support and enhance the hospital's Palliative Care Program. The Guild's gift will create an endowment to expand and sustain this multidisciplinary program.
We welcomed many special visitors to ACH this year, including: Laura McKeeman, the reigning Miss Florida, Tampa Bay Rowdies, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa Bay Rays and mascot Raymond, Vinny Lecavalier of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Mike Alstott, Ronald McDonald, Super Heroes, Gasparilla Pirates, American Idol finalist Shannon Magraine, Storm Troopers and Darth Vader from Star Wars.

Dark storm clouds and a raging sea greeted the photographer Bryan Denton when he first arrived in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi. It was the afternoon of Feb. 24, 2011, just days after the city's residents had expelled troops and officials loyal to Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, marking the birth of Libya's uprising.
Thousands of jubilant Libyans thronged outside the Benghazi courthouse on the city's seaside corniche. A stiff wind lifted a fine mist of ocean spray into the air. Mr. Denton was overwhelmed ...Almost Dawn in Libya: A Shared War

When the Arab Spring got underway late in 2010, few of us imagined it would spread to Libya with any tangible effect. To those of us of my generation here in Malta, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was the bogeyman – he'd always been there lurking not too far from our shores – Libya is less than 350 km to the south of the island, and Gaddafi was a frequent visitor and close friend of the Maltese government in the 70s, my childhood years.

As a special education/elementary education dual major, Jennifer McGinty believes she has been given many opportunities to get her feet wet in the field of education. "I have had the opportunity to work with children with all types of disabilities in both urban and suburban settings," says McGinty. "With the experiences and knowledge I have gained from West Chester's education program, I am confident that I have gained the skills needed to be an effective teacher." She adds that students in her program are required to complete many field experiences so they are fully prepared for student teaching and career opportunities after graduation.
Jennifer gained an appreciation for working with inner-city students while participating in the Philadelphia Urban Experience Seminar; a summer course available for education majors. Students in the program live at LaSalle University for two weeks. During that time, students attend seminars and classes that prepare them for field work in the Philadelphia School District. "I assisted teachers with all daily academics in a 7th and 8th grade life skills classroom with students who have high incidence disabilities," said McGinty.
When Jennifer isn't involved in experiences required by the education program, she works with students with autism at The Timothy School and with young children at Chester County Intermediate Unit as a substitute instructional assistant. She also participates in the activities sponsored by the Elementary Math Organization (E.L.M.O) as well as the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) at West Chester University.
When Jennifer was asked why she chose to attend West Chester University over other colleges, she expressed "As soon as I walked onto the campus, I knew this was the best fit for me. I just loved the atmosphere, the small-town feel, and the student activity on campus. It just felt comfortable. "

Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance such as pollen, bee venom or pet dander.
Your immune system produces substances known as antibodies. Some of these antibodies protect you from unwanted invaders that could make you sick or cause an infection. When you have allergies, your immune system makes antibodies that identify a particular allergen as something harmful, even though it isn't. When you come into contact with the allergen, your immune system's reaction can inflame your skin, sinuses, airways or digestive system.
The severity of allergies varies from person to person and can range from minor irritation to anaphylaxis — a potentially life-threatening emergency. While most allergies can't be cured, a number of treatments can help relieve your allergy symptoms.

Wolf recovery in the northwestern United States - - Gray wolf (Canis lupus) populations were deliberately eliminated from the northern Rocky Mountains (NRM) of the United States by 1930. Naturally dispersing wolves from Canada first denned in Montana in 1986. In 1995 and 1996 wolves from western Canada were reintroduced to central Idaho and Yellowstone National Park to accelerate recovery. The population increased >20%/yr after 1995, but has stabilized since 2008. In December 2010, there were at least 1,650 wolves in 244 packs [115 successfully reproducing as breeding pairs]. In April 2011 another >600 pups were born. The NRM wolf population has very high genetic diversity and is connected to a large western Canada wolf population. A high level of effective migration was maintained by natural dispersal when <850 wolves were present. Wolves now occupy >110,000 square miles in the NRM and suitable habitat (largely forested mountainous public land) appears saturated with resident wolf packs. Wolf restoration initially proceeded with more benefits (public viewing and restoration of ecological processes in natural areas), and fewer problems (livestock and pet depredation, decreases in wild ungulate populations, and agency wolf control) than predicted. But problems eventually increased and reduced local tolerance of wolves. In 2011 Federal legislation enacted the USFWS's 2009 science-based delisting rule. Wolves are now managed just like other resident wildlife, except in Wyoming where wolves remained listed. While the NRM wolf population is certainly biologically viable, public opinion remains divisive and litigation continues on several issues. Some habitat suitable for persistent wolf packs exists outside of western Montana, central and northern Idaho, and northwestern Wyoming, but appears limited compared to the NRM because of potential conflicts with local residents.

Current officer
The 73rd and current governor of Delaware is Democrat Jack Markell, first elected in 2008.
His wife, Carla Markell, is the First Lady of Delaware.
The state Constitution addresses the office of the governor in Article III, the Executive Department.
Under Article IV, Section I:
The Supreme executive powers of the State shall be vested in a Governor.
The Delaware Constitution of 1776 provided for the first executives of the independent state of Delaware. They were known as "Presidents," rather than "Governors," as they were to preside rather than govern. In keeping with the general reaction to the perceived excessive executive authority of the British, the Delaware General Assembly dominated the government. Accordingly, they elected the President and their legislation became law with or without his approval. They were never subject to any possibility of a veto. Indeed, the Constitution forced the Presidents to share such authority as they had with a four person Privy Council, also appointed by the General Assembly. All appointments and other decisions of the President had to be approved by them.
With a second constitution, the Delaware Constitution of 1792, the office was called, "Governor," relieved of the Privy Council, and elected by direct popular vote. At first they served for a term of three years, but beginning with the election of 1832 they have been elected to terms of four years. Since 1896 they have been eligible for reelection, but only one time. They have been chosen in the same general election as the U.S. President since 1896 as well, and take office the third Tuesday of the following January.
Under Article III, Section 6, the governor must be at 30 years old, a citizen of the United States for at least 12 years on the day of the election, and a resident of Delaware for at least six years on the same date.
Delaware elects governors in the Presidential elections, that is, in leap years. For Delaware, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016 are all gubernatorial election years. Legally, the gubernatorial inauguration is always set for the third Tuesday in the January following an election. Thus, January 15, 2013 and January 17, 2017 are inaugural days.
In the unlikely event that two candidates receive the exact same vote tally at the general election, a joint session of the legislature shall cast ballots to choose one-third of the members of each chamber to make up a special joint committee, which will in turn cast ballots for the governor. In the even more unlikely event that the legislature is similarly tied, the President of the Senate shall have the deciding vote (§ 4).
- See also: How gubernatorial vacancies are filled
Details of vacancies are addressed under Article III, Section 20.
The Lieutenant Governor of Delaware is the first in line to become either the Acting Governor of the Governor in the event that the elected officer is unable or unwilling to discharge the office, either temporarily or permanently. If the lieutenant governorship is likewise vacant, the descending order of succession is the Secretary of State of Delaware, the Attorney General of Delaware, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House.
Any of these officers who takes over the governor's duties is understood to have given up her previous office.
In te event of physical or mental inability to discharge the office, the governor may deliver a written statement to the Assembly to that effect. Alternately, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Delaware, the President of the Medical Society of Delaware and the Commissioner of the Department of Mental Health, acting unanimously, may declare the governor unfit. In either of these events, the lieutenant governor becomes the Acting Governor, pending a vote of the Assembly to make the appointment permanent (§ 20).
The Governor of Delaware is, under § 8, head of the state's military forces, unless said forces have already been called into service by the federal government. He makes, with Senate confirmation, all appointments mandated by the Constitution and also fills all vacancies that do not have an alternate method for filling vacancies prescribed by law (§ 9).
Excepting the Lieutenant Governor of Delaware and members of the General Assembly, the Governor may remove any other elected officer for any cause, provide the secure a two-thirds vote in each chamber of the Assembly (§ 13). Periodically, in accordance with § 15, the Governor must address the Assembly, detailing the state of Delaware and making recommendations.
§ 18 gives him a veto over all bills, including appropriations, subject to a three-fifths majority override in both legislative houses.
Other duties and privileges of the office include:
- Making and sign all commissions granted by the state of Delaware (§ 12).
- Requiring written reports from any member of the Executive on any aspects of the particular officer's job (§ 14).
- Convening extraordinary sessions of the General Assembly by proclamation, adjourning the Assembly when that body cannot agree on an adjourning date, and convening the Senate for executive business (§ 16).
- Seeing to the faithful execution of all laws (§ 17).
Under Article III, Section 7, the governor's salary is fixed by law and, if changed, does not take effect during the current term.
As of 2010, the Governor of Delaware is paid $171,000 a year, the 23rd highest gubernatorial salary in America.
Gubernatorial residence
Governors of Delaware have an official residence at Woodburn, a two story Georgian brick mansion, built by Charles Hillyard, III in 1790 on land that is now in the capitol city of Dover.
According to local legend, the home has at least one resident ghost, an older gentleman in colonial era dress. Woodburn is also popularly believed to have been a safe house on the Underground Railroad.
Woodburn was briefly leased to a sitting governor in the 1820s before reverting to a private residence. In 1965, Governor and First Lady Charles L. Terry, Jr. officially secured Woodburn for the state of Delaware. Following Mrs. Terry's refurbishment of the mansion, it became the official gubernatorial residence in 1966.
Woodburn is open to the public, by appointment only, through admission is free.

This review appears in the June 06 issue of PC Advisor, available now.
If small, ultralight media players are your bag, iRiver's U10 could be right up your street. The flash-based device weighs just 70g and is approximately the same size as a stack of business cards.
The U10 has a bright 2.2in display with the same 320x240 resolution as Apple's 30GB video-enabled iPod. The player is a delight to use – its fits beautifully in the palm of your hand and has just the right number of surface controls (power, volume, screen orientation and lock, all located around the edge of the device). The unique navigation system permits you to press the margins of the U10's (admittedly smudge-prone) screen to steer through the menus.
The iRiver supports an impressive range of media formats. It can handle MP3, WMA, and Ogg Vorbis music files up to 320kbps (kilobits per second), as well as Mpeg4 video playback; and it can take recordings from its digital FM radio or via its built-in microphone. It can run Macromedia Flash Lite games, too, and display text files and photos.
Although iRiver recommends using Windows Media Player 10.0 for synching your music and playlists, you can also drag-and-drop files, using Windows Explorer.
As much as we liked the U10, we were surprised by its lack of bundled video software. Instead, the manufacturer suggests you try free alternatives such as iRiverter. With this third-party utility, it took us about five minutes a pop to transcode half-hour XviD and DivX test videos to the U10's specifications, which are 15fps (frames per second), 384Kbps video and 128Kbps audio.
Audio quality was top-notch, and the video itself was quite watchable, with few artifacts and far less jerkiness than we had expected, given the player's rather low frame rates. A two-and-a-half-hour charge supported either 22 hours of audio playback or four-and-a-half hours of video.

NEWORLEANS -- A celebration carrying that familiar Carnival spirit, the Mystic Krewe of Barkus marches to its own, unique beat.
This parade is all about the pups.
'We love it,' said Lisa Schully. 'It's a beautiful day and we have all our dogs out here, having a great time, very festive.'
From the simple to the elaborate, on Sunday krewe dogs and their owners showed off plenty of clever costume creations.
'It's just the greatest Mardi Gras event,' said one parade-goer. 'I am Bienville and this is my mistress of Bienville and these are our wonderful puppies who came to found New Orleans back in 1718.'
'It's been fun. We brought the dogs, the daughter, we got the boilin' pot. We're ready for crawfish season,' said Mandy Pizzuto. 'We got hot crawdogs instead of crawdads.'
A krewe that first began parading in 1993, Barkus has grown to become a local favorite.
Parade-goers came out in large numbers on Sunday, lining the streets as this caravan of canines wound its way through the French Quarter once again.
'We were surprised to see how many people came out,' Pizzuto said. 'It is huge. Huge. Good time.'
'This is one of the most unique things about living here, without a doubt, so, we're having a great time,' said Tomas Garcia.

Revenue recognition, internal control over financial reporting, accounting estimates and going concern are areas of audit that have emerged as particularly challenging and complex.
A reexamination of new revenue recognition rules has led to tinkering with the standard that is considered the biggest achievement of the convergence efforts of FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board.
Olivia Kirtley, CPA, CGMA, an accomplished corporate director with almost 20 years of experience serving on boards, talks about strategic, risk, and compliance issues that keep board members up at night.

I got into the head start of SWTOR on Wednesday. But Wednesday is our raid night, so I decided to just play for bit after the raid night. I rolled an Imperial Agent on a server, did the first couple of quests, and got to level 3. Then I logged off for the night.
On Thursday evening I log in, excited to get a good stretch of playing time in, and was confronted with a 30 minute queue.
Personally, I can't stand queues, so I ended up rolling characters on different servers. I tried a Jedi Knight, but found it to be boring. So then I rolled a Sith Inquisitor and ended up taking her to level 10 and finishing the starting area.
So now I have a bit of conundrum. Should I continue with the Inquistor, or try for the Agent? My initial plan was to have the Agent as my main.
In hindsight, maybe I should have just stuck out the queue. I wonder what I'm going to do if both servers have a queue tonight.
How do you deal with queues?

I usually deal with queues by waiting in them. I'm fairly patient.
Right now I'm #900 in the queue. I think I'll go have a bath.

I played in 3 Beta Weekends and I *still* don't know what my main will be- I've truly enjoyed all the classes up through about lvl 15, maybe beyond that I'll start seeing one seperate itself for me. Anyway, I got a queue last night on the server I'd started on the other day and just like you I jumped to a lower pop. server to get in the game right away. I guess at some point I'll just wait the queue out, goodness knows I've waited for my share of them in WoW, lol.

I go make some hot chocolate. That will take about a minute and a half,... Then I dissolve a peppermint in it. Then I want something cold, which means ICE CREAM!
I then repeat the rotation until I'm in. :)

Plan ahead if possible. Xmas 2005 on Blackrock US, I got home queued up, went out for a swim, checked the queue, went out and had a coffee. Came back and my queue was about to pop. 2 hours 15 minutes.
But I eventually quit the server after server issues caused 3 hours of queues in a single night.

Ques are definitely frustrating.I just que up a go putter around the house. There is always something needing to be done. I pop in to check it every 5-10 minutes.
It will take them time to get this all sorted. Its a big launch title. When the main launch on the 20th goes, the que times could be interesting. Especially with the holiday break.
Good luck and happy gaming.

It's a great time to be an MMO gamer, Starwars: TOR is my current fix, still in the early access phase, I'm having a hard time with the LAG! FPS is way down, might be time to upgrade the GPU. Good artical as always.

My pattern is log in in the morning before work (no queue), play for half an hour.
When I come home I log in (1 - 2 hour queue), start WoW on my other monitor, and LFR my alts or do dailies etc.
Best of both worlds.

|This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to WikiFur style and standards.
For specifics, check the edit history and talk page. Consult the Furry Book of Style for editing help.
Duraji Tarro is the primary furry fandom avatar of WH Charron, a 25-year-old self proclaimed "jack-of-all-trades, master of none" from Connecticut.
He is a synthorg, a synthetic organic entity made from nanotechnology, alchemy, elemental magic, and proprietary organic-like cellular structures. The primary form he takes is that of a male draconid.
This avatar is not to be confused with Charron's other main player characters, Lurdanjo "Danji" Mistaro and Zardios Marren, although he shares elements from both. Storywise, Duraji's mind and personality was sampled from both, although he has distanced himself from each due to his unique experiences.
Zardios Marren is an anthroid in the form of a green lizard/dragon hybrid. He stands about six feet three inches tall, has foot-long blue hair that he spikes out in the summer, and has a slim yet very shapely athletic tone best described as a lifeguard's physique. In the world of Kinta, where Draganta Starwind also lives, he is Lurdanjo Mistaro's bodyguard and best friend. His complex design ensures that he is physically indistinguishable from an organic creature on the outside, much like a Terminator, albeit fully benevolent.
Although 100% artificial, he prefers not to be called a robot or a machine, as he can express and genuinely feel at least 90% of organic emotions (such exceptions including hatred and jealousy), although he tends to be far more logical in using them. Because of this, he is very resolute in his feelings and opinions (he won't stop loving those he loves, he tends not to judge others based on accidents or quick experiences), but also has trouble understanding the purpose of evil or how it could possibly exist, which often troubles or depresses him. He also has a great deal of trouble understanding the concept of death, though he understands it to be especially emotionally painful.
Far from being a mindless machine, Zardios enjoys many activities such as painting, playing the piano, gardening, and other pastimes that give simple pleasures. His personality is very gentle and loving, as he is willing to help out anyone in danger and comfort them if necessary. His voice is low yet full of soothing energy.
His artificial nature allows him a different sort of personality from many other beings, and also gives him many advantages. He is not prone to become tired, sore, bored, or to receive physical pain. He possesses great strength and stamina relative to most ordinary beings. He also has incredible flexibility and limited transformation abilities such as being able to change his scale and hair color. Having a very fast, artificially intelligent mind also allows him to excel at games of skill and logic such as chess or Tetris. On the flip side, he is not considered very creative or independent, and therefore can be easily convinced to do just about anything he considers ethical, logical or not, and often loses at creative games like Pictionary.
Lurdanjo Mistaro[edit]
Lurdanjo Mistaro, also known affectionately as "Danji", is a commonly roleplayed avatar of Duraji. Lurdanjo is a red draconid recognized by his medium length rounded muzzle, felinoid ears, long black hair, Chinese dragon necklace, and otherwise extremely casual clothing such as tee shirts and jeans.
Lurdanjo is known for being cute and shy at some moments, and brash and outspoken in other moments. Despite being small and thin, he has a very dominative personality and enjoys getting his way, as long as no one else objects to this. He is also highly robophilic, and seems to be unable to have a romantic relationship with a non-robotic entity.
His player's current ambitions revolve mostly around the concept of anthroids and other artificial beings, as he obsesses over how they fit into the fandom and how he can use his imagination tied with their traits to challenge those who delve into his fictional world of Kinta. His writing philosophy is to try extremely strange and unique ideas, yet explore them in simplistic style, in order to create a very intimate experience. His stories usually involve no more than a small handful of characters at a time, concentrating on psychology and philosophy rather than sociology, politics, and other epic concepts. He has written several short stories with science fiction or fantasy themes both with (LRD 6) and without (MiddleQuest, tentative title) anthropomorphic animals.
He is also a beginner artist who has chosen not to publicly post his work until he feels it looks right. He freely admits to being extremely ambitious interested in everything from voice acting and creating virtually anything he can, from music and videogames to entire fictional civilizations.
He has opened a personal website, the main attraction being a WIKI-like encyclopedia to explain the complexity of all his creative worlds and future endeavors. Another ambition of his is Dumao, an experimental flash animation series based on surrealistic, trippy, and uncanny thoughts of his, to debut in 2011.

How to restore encrypted files
by ompixie - 12/24/12 9:21 PM
Many years I encrypted most of my data through an option I found on windows xp. I think it was with right click...
Then I formatted my pc.
I was really devastated because the person who advised me to encrypt my files, did not mention that you have got to have a KEY to decrypt them, if you format....
I remember I googled everything but could not find a solution. I read somewhere that if I had a copy of one of these files unencrypted I could use it somehow to find the key.
I realize that this must be beyond my abilities. However, I might even be willing to learn to save GB of photographs and memories I have stored.
So I did find a picture I had stored again through google. Is there anything I can do?


text:
Impressive title eh. Well okay I'll admit it, the system is effectively this blog post and your ability to inconspicuously squint as you take in all the systray icons on other peoples computers.
What's the Systray?
The Systray is the area on the windows taskbar near the clock, properly referred to as the Notification Area I think. Often installed programs will display a small icon here indicating that they are running and the icon may change depending on the state of the program. It's important that attention is paid to the subtle differences in the icons, for example, a slight colour change may indicate that a program is running or not running.
Why blog about this?
Well I'm always checking out other peoples systray icons and wondering what programs they represent. After not having much luck with finding a good list on the web to refer to I thought I would create one. I have set myself a goal of seeing how many icons I can get in the list within the month of February. I'll continue to add new ones after that but this will be my focus in February because I'm going to be quite busy at work and I'm studying for an exam at the end of the month.
Why is the relevance to security?
Recognising systray icons will not only tell you about the software installed and the state of that software (running, not running, enabled, disabled, version etc...) but will also tell you about the person using the computer (Geek, salesman, lazy, Hax0r etc...) and we all know that smart hackers hack people not just computers. Systray icons will also tell you if that person is connected back to the office, if they are running encryption software etc... These are all the things that i'm interested in and I imagine some people reading my blog are interested in as well. If you need any further convincing I suggest you watch Johnny Longs excellent "No Tech Hacking" presentation.
Any comments, suggestions, corrections or submissions will be greatly appreciated. So lets bring on the icons!

Brittany Cox Becomes Capital One Academic All-America First Teamer for Second-Straight Year
February 21, 2013
TOWSON, Md. – Senior Kari Daugherty of No. 3 Ashland University headlines the 2012-13 Capital One Academic All-America® Division II basketball teams as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Pfeiffer University's Brittany Cox was the only repeat selection from last year and is the only representative from Conference Carolinas and just one of two from the NCAA II Southeast region. A guard/forward for the Eagles, Daugherty has been selected as the 2012-13 Capital One Academic All-America® of the Year for Division II women's basketball.
The Capital One Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II national governance structure to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2012-13 D-II Academic All-America teams program.
A native of Fresno, Ohio, Daugherty is a middle childhood education major with a 3.97 G.P.A. She has led Ashland to the number three ranking in NCAA Division II and a 25-1 record. Last year, she guided the Eagles to the Division II national championship game where they lost to Shaw University, 88-82.
Daugherty currently leads the nation in rebounding (15.0) and double-doubles (17) while ranking second in scoring at 22.5 points per game. She is shooting 52.0 percent from the floor (160 of 304), including 18 of 43 on three-pointers (41.9 pct.). She has made 78.8 percent from the free throw line. In addition, she averages 3.7 assists and 1.7 steals per contest. Daugherty owns the NCAA Division II record for consecutive double-doubles and has a current streak of 34 games.
As a junior, Daugherty was named as the NCAA Division II National Player of the Year after putting together the greatest season in school history. In her first season at Ashland after transferring from the University of Dayton, she was named a first team WBCA and Daktronics All-American. She led Division II in rebounding and double doubles. Daugherty averaged a school-record 14.1 rebounds per game and had 27 double-doubles (27). She also averaged a school-record 21.3 points per game while setting school records for points in a season (744), rebounds (492), field goals (284) and field goal attempts (565).
While leading Ashland to the NCAA championship game, she set NCAA Tournament records for rebounds (95) and field goals (56) and was one point shy of the tournament record for points, scoring 148.
She was the winner of the 2011-12 Honda Sports Award as the NCAA Division II Female Athlete of the Year. Named as the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Year, she was also honored as the GLIAC Tournament's Most Outstanding Player, the Midwest Region Player of the Year, the NCAA Division II Midwest Region Tournament Most Outstanding Player and was named to the all-tournament team at the NCAA Elite Eight.
Daugherty is one two Ashland scholar-athletes on the 2012-13 Capital One Academic All-America® Division II Women's Basketball first team. Senior Daiva Gerbec was also named to the first team, a rare achievement in the Capital One Academic All-America® basketball program.
Senior Brittany Cox of Pfeiffer University has been named to the Capital One Academic All-America® Division II Women's Basketball first team for the second year in a row. Senior Sarah Hoyt of Michigan Tech and junior Lauren Battista of No. 1 Bentley University complete the first team. They were both members of the second team last year.
A biochemistry major with a 3.94 G.P.A., Gerbec averages 14.7 points and 9.2 rebounds per game for the Eagles. A 6-0 forward from Dublin, Ohio, Gerbec came back strong after sitting out the 2011-12 season with an injury. She is shooting 59.1 percent from the floor and 76.5 percent from the free throw line. Gerbec ranks second in the GLIAC and sixth in NCAA Division II in field goal percentage.
Two years ago, Gerbec earned first team All-GLIAC honors and honorable mention WBCA All-American recognition. She set school records for rebounds (311) in a season and rebounds per game (10.7) in 2010-11 while averaging 15.9 points per contest.
The only repeat selection on the first team, Cox is a sports management major with a 3.96 G.P.A. A 5'9" guard from Winston-Salem, NC, she has led Pfeiffer to a 19-4 record while averaging a team-leading 18.7 points per game, a mark that ranks third in the Carolinas Conference. In addition, she is second on the team with 6.5 rebounds per game while averaging 2.3 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game. She is shooting 42.6 percent from the floor and 83.3 percent from the line. She also ranks as one of the top three-point shooters in the country, hitting 38.3 percent.
As a junior, Cox was named first team all-conference and first team all-region while earning honorable mention Daktronics All-American honors. The top scorer in the Carolinas Conference last year, she averaged 20.8 points per game, a mark that was ninth in Division II. She is the fourth-leading scorer in Pfeiffer history with 1,548 points.
A mathematics major with a 3.94 G.P.A., Hoyt has led Michigan Tech to a 16-7 record. While averaging a team high 16.5 points per game, she is the second-leading free throw shooter in NCAA Division II with a .910 percentage. A two-time All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference selection, she is averaging 3.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. An honorable mention WBCA All-American as a junior, she averaged 15.7 points per game last year. She is the ninth-leading scorer in NCAA II.

She is averaging 13.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, both second on the team. She is also averaging 2.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game while shooting 49.6 percent from the floor. In her three seasons, she has helped the Falcons post an 82-9 record.
Last year, Battista earned WBCA Division II All-America honors after averaging 16.8 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. She became only the second player in school history to earn All-American honors as well as Academic All-America® notice.

She became just the second player to reach the 1,000-point plateau as a sophomore. She currently ranks 13th in career scoring with 1,343 points, and is tied for 18th in career rebounds (625).
The five members of the Capital One Academic All-America® Division II Women's Basketball first team have an average G.P.A. of 3.95.
Seniors Kristen Blye of Philadelphia, Ashley Dolberry of Palm Beach Atlantic, Laura Kinderknecht of Washburn and Megan Olsen of Saint Michael's are joined on the six-person Capital One Academic All-America® Division II Women's Basketball second team by junior Jen Papich of Gannon and sophomore Hannah Heeter of Clarion.
