Between the whistles of play, professional football is an arguably violent game. Players often put their hearts and souls into their on the field performances for the benefit of their teams. As a result, emotions can often run high.
But what about when the whistle is blown and the play is stopped? Like in boxing when the bell rings and the fighters go back to their corners, the protocol in football is for the players to pick themselves up and go back to the huddle to prepare for the next play. Players are expected to adhere to this protocol in compliance with the rules of the game set out by professional football's governing body, the National Football League (NFL).
During a recent preseason game, Antonio Smith, defensive end for the Houston Texans, fell outside the lines of these rules in a post play incident during which he forcefully removed an opposing player's helmet and appeared to violently swing the helmet at him.
The NFL has reviewed the incident and has decided to suspend Smith for three games, including the Texans' first regular season game. In acknowledging the incident, Smith apologized to his team and fans saying, "The bottom line is that the [NFL] handed down the suspension and that hurts my team."
Professional sport franchises are employers. Their employees, however, due to their status as high-profile athletes, are often public figures in the media spotlight. While all employees' actions have an impact on their employers, the actions of these high-profile athlete-employees have an especially large impact. An employee's bad judgment can leave a long-standing negative effect on his or her employer.
Employers have a legal obligation to deal with their employees' inappropriate conduct. Similarly, employees have an obligation to follow workplace rules and utilize good judgment in doing so. In the high-profile world of professional sports, the exercise of poor judgment by a professional athlete-employee can result in a wide range of penalties, from suspensions similar to that imposed on Smith to civil (or even criminal) liability in a situation in which a violent outburst results in grave physical harm to the opposing player.
Private employers now commonly provide avoidance training to employees on workplace issues such as harassment, discrimination, and the use of good judgment. Professional sport franchises could equally benefit from the use of such training for their employee-players and coaches. Given that stories of athletes and coaches behaving badly are often spread quickly and broadly through social media, professional sport franchises looking to preserve their brand have a pressing need for this type of training.

Lindsay Lohan got off easy in court on Monday, but her lawyer had a very different experience when her protective papa, Michael Lohan physically chased his daughter's New York lawyer Mark Heller!
As Heller was addressing the throngs of media, following Lindsay's last minute plea deal, Michael started heckling him – threatening to get the lawyer's license to practice taken away, among other issues – and Heller quickly crumbled under the pressure, running away from the cameras.
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan Through The Years
Never one to let things go, the intrepid Mi-Lo followed in hot pursuit, until tiring of the chase and returning back to the crowd to address the press himself!
"Heller is a piece of garbage," Michael told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview following his attorney chase.
PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan's Mugshot Hall Of Fame
"I am happy that this is over and that Lindsay is in a good place. But what I'm really happy about is that Heller is not a part of Lindsay's life anymore."
While Lindsay and Michael are famously estranged, an eyewitness in the courthouse tells Radar that as the rehab-bound starlet left the courtroom she said "I love you" to her doting dad.

And, it seems Heller may have had good reason to flee – during Michael's impromptu press conference, he claimed the attorney is going to be investigated for witness tampering!
In response to Michael's allegations, Santa Monica Deputy City Attorney Jenna Grigsby said she would "not comment on what her father says he may or may not know."

According to a source, the witness Michael was referring to is Lindsay's former assistant Gavin Doyle.
Meanwhile, Michael Lohan continues to fire off warning shots at Lindsay's lawyer!

"The trouble has just begun for Heller!" Lohan vows.

Great points for startups! As a founder of startup I think that some part of work in sales and marketing should be outsourced. You can make a smaller investment to building your marketing plan until your growth provides the cash flow needed to hire more permanent staffing. Also, you often need the expertise of more knowledgeable professionals providing strategic growth plans and your budget doesn't not allow for that level of investment for the long term. I was working Ignite http://ignitecloudware.com It seems to be reliable and competent company.

Published in 2000 to critical acclaim, The American West: A New Interpretive History quickly became the standard in college history courses. Now Robert V. Hine and John Mack Faragher offer a concise edition of their classic, freshly updated. Lauded for their lively and elegant writing, the authors provide a grand survey of the colorful history of the American West, from the first contacts between Native Americans and Europeans to the beginning of the twenty-first century.
Frontiers introduces the diverse peoples and cultures of the American West and explores how men and women of different ethnic groups were affected when they met, mingled, and often clashed. Hine and Faragher present the complexities of the American West—as frontier and region, real and imagined, old and new. Showcasing the distinctive voices and experiences of frontier characters, they explore topics ranging from early exploration to modern environmentalism, drawing expansively from a wide range of sources. With four galleries of fascinating illustrations drawn from Yale University's premier Collection of Western Americana, some published here for the first time, this book will be treasured by every reader with an interest in the unique saga of the American West.
— Richard H. Dillon
"Smart, lively, and lucid, this book takes a sweeping, expansive view of the American West, offering anyone a fine point of departure for exploring the many paths into the past."—Gregory Nobles, author of American Frontiers: Cultural Encounters and Continental Conquest
"There is simply no better first journey into the vast terrain of Western history than this lively, learned, clear-eyed volume. Another winner for Hine and Faragher."—Virginia Scharff, University of New Mexico, Autry National Center
"From the Caribbean to Canada and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, this marvelous survey spotlights the unexpected twists and turns that occurred when peoples met and mingled and how from these cultural encounters emerged today's American West. Hine and Faragher find in our frontier history the key to 'our common past' and a 'blueprint for our common future.'"—Stephen Aron, Department of History, UCLA
The Indians who first met Columbus were the Taínos. On their island homes in the Caribbean (Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, and Puerto Rico today) they cultivated corn and yams, made brown pottery and cotton thread, and fashioned deadly little darts from fish teeth and wood. But Columbus thought the Taínos had no weapons, a conclusion he based on a curious test. Handing them swords, he observed that they grasped the blades and cut their fingers. Steel had come to a people who previously had worked only with bone and stone. This surmise was typical for Columbus, who assumed the superiority of his own culture in all things. "They are all naked, men and women, as their mothers bore them," he condescended in his report to the Spanish monarchs. Columbus made his landfall in October 1492, when the prevailing Caribbean temperatures were balmy, and the natives he saw were attired in much the same costume as bikini-clad vacationers who flock to those beaches today. Although he could not understand the Taínos' language, Columbus assumed he could read their minds. When the natives lifted their hands to the sky, he wrote, it was an indicationthat they considered the Spaniards to be gods. It was only one of several possible explanations. Perhaps the Taínos were exclaiming, "Great God, what now!"
We can be more certain of what lay in the minds of the Spaniards. After noting the Indians' loving, cooperative, and peaceful reception, Columbus concluded that "all the inhabitants could be made slaves," for "they have no arms and are all naked and without any knowledge of war. They are fitted to be ruled and to be set to work, to cultivate the land and to do all else that may be necessary, and you may build towns and teach them to go clothed and adopt our customs."
Noticing the little gold ornaments the Taínos wore, Columbus contracted a bad case of gold fever. More than anything else, it was the possibility of setting the natives to work mining gold that would persuade the monarchs to finance a large return expedition. "The best thing in the world is gold," Columbus once wrote in his diary, "it can even send souls to heaven."
The conquistadors who followed Columbus were equally sure of themselves. They were also skilled in the arts of conquest because of their long experience fighting "infidels" on the Spanish peninsula. Muslims from Africa had flooded western Europe to a high-water mark in the eighth century, and thereafter the Christians slowly pushed back. These wars of the "Reconquest" directed the crusading propensities of many generations of young Spaniards. In 1492-that most extraordinary year-Granada, the last Moorish stronghold in Iberia, fell to the Christian warriors led by Isabella and Ferdinand of Castille and Aragon, and consequently their Catholic majesties turned their attention westward, across the ocean.
The invasion of America was marked by scenes of frightful violence. In the wake of Columbus, conquering armies marched across the islands of the Caribbean, plundering villages, slaughtering men, capturing and raping women. Once all the islands had been taken, the Spaniards turned to the mainland coast to the west. The people they encountered lived in far more complex societies than those of the Caribbean, with splendid towns and even libraries of handwritten, illustrated books. A Mayan reacted with surprise when he saw a Spaniard reading a European book. "You also have books?" he exclaimed. "You also understand the signs by which you talk to the absent?"
Responding to rumors of a land called Mexico in the interior, in 1519 a fleet of eleven ships with 530 Spanish soldiers departed from Cuba. Onboard were sixteen horses-"the nerves of the wars against the natives," as one Spanish chronicler called them-and numerous fighting dogs. Mexico, they thought, might be some powerful principality of the Great Khan of Cathay (China). Nearby must be fabled California, which was said to be located "on the right hand of the Indies ..., very close to the region of the terrestrial paradise." Dreams die hard.
Leading this expedition was the archetypal conquistador, Hernán Cortés. An officer in Cortés's army of conquest, Bernal Díaz, described his commander as sexually attractive and physically strong, slow to anger but sometimes roused to speechless fury. He read Latin, wrote poetry, and was fond of gambling at cards and dice. Now he gambled for the highest stakes in the New World. Shortly after his arrival on the Mexican coast, near present-day Veracruz, he ordered the ships dismantled. The game was winner take all, and the Virgin Mary was on his side.
Even as they landed, Cortés and his men were being observed by spies of Moctezuma II, the ruler of the Aztecs of central Mexico, an empire that exploited the peoples of several dozen surrounding city-states. Moctezuma's men recorded the strangers' movements in a set of detailed drawings and reported: "Their flesh is very light, much lighter than ours. They all have long beards, and their hair comes to their ears."
The Aztecs dominated the surrounding region from their capital at Tenochtitlán, which was built and maintained with the tribute collected from their conquests. One of the sixteenth-century world's greatest cities, it rested on an island in the midst of a large lake and was resplendent with stepped pyramids, stone temples, golden vessels, and causeways with cleverly engineered irrigation canals. The Aztecs were as certain of themselves as were the Spaniards. "Are we not the masters of the world?" Moctezuma remarked to his council when he first heard of the landing of the Spaniards.
At this point, the Aztecs might easily have crushed the several hundred Spaniards, who were struggling to survive amid the sand dunes and mosquitoes of the Gulf Coast. But Moctezuma was undecided about the right course. Confident of the enormous power of his empire, he indulged his desire to see with his own eyes the strangers from another world.
How Cortés conquered an empire that could at any time raise thousands of well-trained fighting men remains something of a mystery. One explanation emphasizes Aztec doubts about the invaders. For several years there had been evil omens-comets, heavenly lights, monstrous two-headed births, foaming lake waters. Very much like Europe's kings, Moctezuma held his office in trust for sacred authority, and as he and his high priests worried over these signs, there came the news of the strange appearance of the invaders from across the ocean. Didn't they ride on weird creatures larger than deer? Were not the heads of the men covered with iron, and did they not use strange rods that spit fire and killed? It was an ominous year, and perhaps Cortés had come to fulfill a prophecy.
But certainly there was more to it than the Aztec preoccupation with signs and omens. Cortés proved masterful at the art of diplomacy, and his first assistance came in the form of one of the cleverest women of history, a young Aztec named Malíntzin, who is best known as La Malínche, the Hispanicized version of her native name. Sold into slavery as a child, she was given to Cortés by a local chief and made the decision to align herself with the Spaniards. Possessing an enormous talent for languages, she quickly mastered Spanish and became Cortés's indispensable interpreter. But she also proved a master interpreter of Aztec intentions, and in the Aztec images of the conquest, Malínche is often shown by Cortés's side.
Malínche was a powerfully complex character, and the Mexican people have never ceased arguing over the meaning of her actions. On the one hand, her name symbolizes the betrayal of native culture, synonymous with the worst traitor. Because she became Cortés's mistress and bore him a son, other Mexicans see her as the mother of la raza, the new people who arose out of the blending of Indian and Spanish, native and European. Thus she symbolizes not only betrayal, but also the mixing of cultures and peoples that is the foundation of modern Mexico. Malínche stands for the process of interchange in the frontier cultures of the Americas.
Just as Cortés exploited Malínche's alienation from her people, so he brilliantly exploited the resentments of the Aztec's many subject peoples. He was able to persuade the Tlaxcalans, a small republic that lived under the heavy heel of Aztec domination, to join him, and thus thousands of Indian warriors marched with the Spaniards over the mountains to the great city of Tenochtitlán. The conquest of Mexico would largely be the work of Indians fighting Indians-a powerful lesson Europeans learned from Cortés's victory.
When Cortés and his Spanish-Tlaxcalan army arrived at Tenochtitlán, Moctezuma gave Cortés and his lieutenants the use of large quarters near his own palace and tried to enter into dialogue with his counterpart. But when Cortés knocked down an Aztec religious shrine and set up a Catholic altar in its place, Moctezuma was shocked. Cortés was certain in his convictions. After all, Aztec priests practiced rituals of human sacrifice, inflicting a terrible death on captives by cutting open their chests and tearing the pulsing hearts from their living bodies. Yet Aztec priests also subjected themselves to frightful self-torture, slashing their own bodies with obsidian blades and piercing their tongues and penises with cactus thorns to draw the blood that was the ultimate sacrifice to the gods. The Aztecs were, in short, as thoroughly committed to their own religious beliefs and practices as the Spaniards.
Eventually, in 1520, the Spaniards seized Moctezuma and massacred a group of young men engaged in religious observance. That precipitated a revolt, and the Aztec army besieged the Spaniards in their quarters in the center of the city. After seven days, the Spaniards made a bold attempt to flee by night, during which two-thirds of the Spanish troops died. Dressed in heavy armor stuffed with gold and precious stones looted from Moctezuma's treasure house, many drowned in the canals. So clogged did the channel become with their bodies, it was said, that those who managed to escape did so by running across the backs of the dead. After the battle the Aztecs dredged the canal and brought up the dead in order to retrieve the treasure.
But the Spaniards returned, reinforced by troops from Cuba as well as thousands of Indian allies who now grabbed the opportunity to overthrow the Aztec overlords. During the intervening year, Tenochtitlán had been struck by an epidemic of smallpox brought by the invaders. Some contemporaries estimated that this disease reduced the population by half. It was then that Cortés attacked the city. The invaders fought their way to the central pyramid where the last battle took place. Many thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, died, including Moctezuma. The Aztec leaders were captured and tortured to reveal the location of the state treasure, which the Spaniards plundered.
The successors of Columbus established a feudal institution known as the encomienda. This system placed Indian workers at the disposal of Spanish lords, who set them to work building the new capital of Mexico City on the ruins of Tenochtitlán, dredging the streams for alluvial gold, and working the fields. There were reports that rather than accept this form of slavery, many Indians killed themselves, after killing their children. Native peoples resisted the conquest in many ways. One chronicler of the conquest told of a particularly ironic torture some Indians invented for captured Spaniards with a hunger for gold. Heating the metal to its melting point, they would pour the molten stuff down the throats of their prisoners.
Some Spaniards protested the horrors of the conquest and worked to obtain justice for the Indians. Principal among them was the Dominican priest Bartolomé de Las Casas. The Christian mission in the New World was to convert the Indians, he argued, and "the means to effect this end are not to rob, to scandalize, to capture or destroy them, or to lay waste their lands." Centuries before the nations of the world recognized the concept of universal human rights, Las Casas had proclaimed that "the entire human race is one." He became a towering moral figure in the early history of the Americas.
Those seeking to justify the conquest argued that the Indians were savages who practiced horrible vices. It was widely reported, for example, that Indians used drugs and were sexual libertines or sexual deviants. But the most common complaint was that they were cannibals. In the earliest books devoted to the conquest, the Caribs (a people of the Lesser Antilles and the neighboring South American coast, from whose name the Spanish derived not only the word Caribbean but also the word cannibal) were shown devouring the flesh of captured Spaniards.
Las Casas considered such claims slanderous. The charge of sexual deviance he dismissed as "a falsehood," and he compared the native use of drugs to communion in the Catholic Church, pointing out that it was part of a ceremony of divination. He even made an effort to explain Aztec human sacrifice in its own terms. "It is not surprising that when unbelievers who have neither grace nor instruction consider how much men owe to God," he explained, "they devise the most difficult type of repayment, that is, human sacrifice in God's honor." The Church, he argued, should aim to correct such practices through enlightenment, not punishment.
The controversy over the treatment of the Indians finally came before the royal court of Spain. Impressed by Las Casas's argument, the Spanish monarchy declared that henceforth it would be official policy that the Indians be considered fully human and treated fairly. But these ideals, overwhelmed by more typical patterns of colonial exploitation, were never realized in practice. As Cortés once said, "I came to get gold, not to till the soil like a peasant." Dreams of riches easily obtained easily corroded ideals.
The most enduring contribution of Las Casas came not in his contribution to policy but in his history of the conquest. The Destruction of the Indies, published in Spain in 1552, is one of the most influential books in the history of the early modern world. Las Casas blamed the Spaniards for the deaths of millions of Indians and indicted them for what today we would call the crime of genocide. Other European powers later used these arguments to condemn Spain while covering up their own dismal records of colonial conquest. Subsequent scholars, doubting Las Casas's estimates of huge population losses, criticized his work as part of a "Black Legend" of the Spanish conquest.
Scholars dispute the size of the indigenous population of the island of Hispaniola at the time of the conquest. Estimates range from several hundred thousand to several million. But there is no dispute over the fact that fifty years after Columbus's landing, only a few hundred native people remained alive. The Taínos virtually disappeared. Faced with a severe labor shortage, the Spaniards began importing African slaves, and by 1560 Africans had become the majority population, ruled by a small elite of European colonists.
The destruction of the native population of mainland Mexico was one of the greatest demographic calamities in human history. Many thousands died in the fighting, or as the consequence of the destruction of their communities, but by far the greatest loss of life resulted from the introduction of Old World diseases. Pre-Columbian America seems to have had few contagious epidemic diseases, and Indian peoples had no protective antibodies. A shipload of colonists from Spain carried smallpox to Hispaniola in 1516, and the expedition of Cortés brought it to Mexico, where it seriously undermined Aztec society. Disease, which frequently preceded conquest, was the secret weapon of the European invaders and helps to explain their success. The outstanding difference between the European colonial experience in the Americas and elsewhere-in Africa and Asia, for instance-was the extraordinary reduction in the native population.

Or perhaps he knew they had him dead to rights and a long drawn out battle would not change the outcome but would do further damage to his public image and tank his LiveStrong foundation/endorsements? He certainly is quite the hero for proving he was the best doped to the gills guy of them all, his EPO was just a cut above the rest.
How is it fair? they had a witch hunt, and he just gave up dealing with their bs any longer.
He's still a hero.

When Harold Christ set out in 1974 to develop the area now known as Gold Canyon, there was no water, enough telephone wiring for one telephone — and lots of open desert and opportunities. Today, the 9 square miles of incorporated area of Pinal County has more than 10,000 people, $1 million homes, a resort, five golf courses and its own ZIP code.
Despite the dramatic growth, it has maintained its pristine views of the Sonoran Desert, Superstition Mountains and Tonto National Forest.
"This was what I always envisioned the West as being," Christ said, referring to Gold Canyon. "It had a John Wayne movie feel."
Residents say the biggest challenge for Gold Canyon is maintaining its rural, desert environment. Gold Canyon was originally going to be called Mesa del Oro to attract people by using the Spanish word for gold and mesa to make it sound close to the city, Christ said.
After he developed the Gold Canyon Resort in 1980, Christ changed the area's name to Gold Canyon to attract more people. The hotel was built to give prospective buyers a place to stay when they were land shopping.
At build-out, the community is expected to have about 20,000 people, which is projected within eight years. The area will always be a small community because it borders state trust land designated for preservation and the Tonto National Forest. Although the area, isn't fully developed, home and land values are escalating. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Christ was selling 3.33-acre lots for $35,000 and was glad to get that much. Today, those same lots are worth $250,000, he said. Lyle Anderson's Superstition Mountain luxury golf community put the Gold Canyon area on the map nationally and internationally. The community features 900 home sites and Jack Nicklaus golf courses within a gated community. Home lots without the homes go from $200,000 to $1.15 million. The average half-acre lot sells for about $450,000.
In less than three years, 18 of the homes that were resold increased in value on average 48 percent, said Tom Popa, vice president of marketing and sales and designated broker.
Last year, the community was the site of the Tradition golf tournament, designated as a major championship on the Senior PGA tour. It was televised in 140 countries. Superstition Mountain also was featured for the Valley's Street of Dreams last year and brought more than 30,000 people out in six weeks to view the homes. The average Gold Canyon home price in 2002 was $198,483, according to Arizona Multiple Listing Service data. Prices in 2002 ranged from $30,000 to $2 million. Gold Canyon home values have raised the bar for Apache Junction homes, said Dale Gorny, agent with Arizona Prime Real Estate in Apache Junction.
"As the freeways get done. Gold Canyon is more attractive than ever," Gorny said. Scottsdale real estate broker Margaret Dixon moved to Gold Canyon eight years ago and commutes to Prudential Arizona Properties at Scottsdale Road and Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard daily. Dixon said the commute takes her between 45 minutes and 75 minutes, but she wouldn't have it any other way.
"It's nice having the space and I love the lifestyle," she said. "It's a nice location and you can get to a lot of other areas quickly."
Dixon said she is only 30 minutes from Canyon Lake and 40 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. "We used to say it was the best kept secret," she said. "It's not a secret anymore, but people don't realize the lifestyle amenities that are here."
Gold Canyon has one grocery store, gas station, pizza place and video store, which provide the basic necessities.
Jim Worlton and his wife, Linda, moved to Gold Canyon seven years ago from Gilbert because it was growing too quickly. "It's quiet and beautiful," Worlton said. "It's not congested or noisy."
Development of Gold Canyon started slowly because the U.S. 60 didn't extend out that far east until 1991. Although Christ was optimistic, he admits he had some doubts over whether Gold Canyon would flourish. The original homeowners were retirees, but more and more families are flocking to the area. There are two elementary schools in Gold Canyon, which are part of the Apache Junction Unified School District. Pinal County Sheriff's Office enforces the laws. Gold Canyon residents have considered incorporating, but there were mixed emotions and many residents felt they didn't want another layer of government. Mobile homes aren't allowed in the main boundaries of Gold Canyon, but the Gold Canyon Recreational Vehicle Park offers 1,200 RV lots and lies just south of the U.S. 60, which is considered the southern boundary.
The RV park was seen as a way to lure people to Gold Canyon for a try out, in hopes they'd purchase a home. Homes in Gold Canyon are a combination of starter single-family homes, townhouses, horse properties and gated golf homes.
Toll Brothers offers semi-custom homes at Las Colinas, which backs up to the Superstition Mountains.
The homes are priced from the upper $200,000s to about $340,000. "We were looking for our market niche, serving an upscale buyer," said Linda Hanford, Toll Brothers marketing manager. "It's close to amenities but far enough to be away from the city, but the big city is definitely moving toward them."

Another radioman slain in Davao Oriental
More News from Inquirer Mindanao
DAVAO CITY, Philippines—Unidentified assailants shot dead a broadcaster of the Mati-based Catholic-run dxHM radio station as he was leaving Tarragona, Davao Oriental Tuesday, reports reaching the Davao Oriental police said.
Nestor Libaton, 47, had just attended a fiesta celebration in Barangay Ompao and was on his way home on a motorcycle along with another broadcaster, who was not identified in the report, when shot dead by two men on another motorbike.
Libaton, the report said, died from gunshot wounds in the face and body while his companion was unharmed.
Juvy Tanio, Mati City information officer and a colleague of Libaton in DXHM, said authorities recovered six empty shells and one live bullet from .45 and .38 cal. pistols from the crime scene.
Tanio said the slain broadcaster was not hard-hitting and was more known for his market reports.

Buying an iBook G4, what software?
I found a good deal on an old 1.2 ghz ibook (I am going to have to replace the hard drive and add more ram, but whatever). I don't particularly want to spend a ton on software, but if there is anything completely awesome I will get it. Keep in mind that it isn't the fastest machine in the world and I don't need office type stuff (I am going to go with the OpenOffice for mac).
|Jul 3, 2008, 09:34 AM
Quake 3 and Halo run well on my iBook G3 900MHz, so they should run very nice on your G4.
Make sure to max the RAM. You will need it all.
I recommend Tiger, as Leopard may be a little slow, but you can still go for it.
Skype is good on the iBooks for video and voice chatting.
Thats about all I have to add. Good luck with the new iBook!

if u max out the ram leopard should run great i run it with 768mb of ram and runs perfect with lots of apps open i had like 10 or more open photoshop flash big programs etc. on my emac and still tugged through with screen sharing too (app with leopard acess my macbook screen off my eMac) and yea take leopard if u put 1.5gb of ram in

I agree with metroid - stick with Tiger. There isn't anything in leopard that you can't do without and the extra speed boost from running tiger will really help you get more life out of the ibook.
|Jul 3, 2008, 07:35 PM
It'll give you a nicer speed, and it will also work great. Unless you need something thats Leopard only, then go with Leopard and sacrifice having the slightly slower performance. I'm using Leopard here, and Tiger on the iBook, and it's fine for me.
Besides, that iBook can't do too much power work. It's best things to do are web surfing, iChat, iTunes, and some smaller tasks. Don't expect to run PS, DW, or even imovie or iDVD on that. Games won't run well either, unless they are on low, or they are older games, like Halo or Quake 3.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

the one leopard feature you might miss is remote desktop. if it is your only mac then i agree, tiger is fine.
replacing the hard drive is a beach though. have fun with that.

For the record, I already have a desktop and a laptop that are more than powerful enough for anything I need to do. This is more of a secondary machine, something to play around with and a chance to get acquainted with Macs.
I just received it and turned it on, and I am quite surprised at how well it runs for a machine with 256 MB of ram. I just ordered another gig of RAM and a 250gig hard drive, so it should speed up considerably. I also decided that I am going to go with Leopard, since one of the major points of this is learning the OS and Leopard is the new standard. I'm not too worried about getting to the HDD though; it doesn't require any soldering, which makes it considerably easier than most of the things I am used to.

Good Luck!

I think most people here would recommend firefox, or some other alternative browser. You Might also want to get an older version of the iLife Suite (i recommend iLife 05) and make sure you keep a good backup.
Feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
|Jul 4, 2008, 11:29 AM
just kidding, but if you have not seen the inside of a ibook before and are thinking it's like replacing a drive on a dell/compaq/hp/etc, you might be in for a bit of a shock.
since you didn't mention 12" or 14", i guess and you can see the take apart guide for a 12" HERE and i would really recommend printing out the screw guide. good use of 3 sheets of paper! if you have the 14", then back out to the homepage and start over, as they are different. best of luck.

Stick to Tiger
Gotta agree with the guys advising that you stick to Tiger. Leopard seems geared to Intel Macs and just barely tolerable with PPC Macs. After installing Leopard on my 12"PB, I noticed distinctly greater sluggishness--and more frequent beachballs--when running more than a few apps.
After getting my MacBook and retiring my PB to radio player and backup, will definitely put Tiger back on it.
|Jul 4, 2008, 06:43 PM
I have a 1.33GHz iBook G4 with 1.5GB of RAM and I really don't have any problems running Leopard. It's a little hesitant sometimes, but only when opening a program for the first time since turning on the computer. I'm not sure that would be made any better using Tiger or not.
I bought mine used and it came with Leopard installed and without the original Tiger CDs so I'd have to either get replacement restore disks from Apple (I assume they could get them to me) or just buy a stand-alone Tiger disk on eBay or something.
The only thing I really do differently on the iBook is that I stick to Safari instead of using Firefox 3. FF3 runs great and is fast and doesn't have issues with some sites on my iMac (24" intel), but I just find it performs pretty badly on the iBook for some reason - lots of pauses when using keyboard shortcuts, etc. Safari runs much nicer on the iBook so I stick to using it instead.
One cool, and free, little app that I'll recommend is Evernote. It's out of beta now and is still free (though you can pay $5 to up your storage limit if you'd like). I have the client on my iBook, my iMac, and I access it through the iPhone-specific site on the iPhone (and they're working on a native app for when 2.0 hits). It's great for getting little notes and bits of information accessible from any of my computers. What I find most useful is to use it for receipts. Before I (inevitably) lose a receipt (mainly my gas station receipts) I take a picture of it with the iPhone and then email it directly from the phone to my personal Evernote page and it's suddenly accessible from any of my PCs. That's definitely let me keep track of that stuff better since I won't lose them and have to guesstimate my actual costs in that regard.

Mass Effect 3 trailer shows free Rebellion pack weapons and characters, electric whip
The Vorcha were fairly useless foes in Mass Effect 2, but none of them were as well armed as the new multiplayer class in Mass Effect 3, added yesterday by the launch of the free Rebellion pack. Cluster grenades, a flamethrower and a gun that kerplodes enemies into a red mist are a few of the toys on show in the latest trailer, though the Quarian male's smoothest moves can't compare to the Cerberus Defector's fancy close combat electro-whips. What a show off.
The pack will add two new maps, a jungle setting called Firebase Jade and a map called Firebase Goddess on Thessia. New classis include a Quarian Engineer and Infiltrator, Vorcha Soldier and Sentinel, Ex-Cerberus Phoenix Adept and Vanguard.
They'll be packing fresh heat in the form of three new weapons, the Reegar carbine shotgun (which can fire sustained electric laser beams), the Krysae sniper rifle (with a sight that adjusts based on range) and Cerberus harrier assault rifle (it's an assault rifle, you know what you're getting there). The Rebellion pack has gone live, so you'll start finding all of this new stuff in boxes from now on in.

Tony Marelle went to Peachtree Ridge for a day this school year, his junior year.Then he made up his mind. As badly as he wanted to stay with the friends he grew up with and as much as he wanted to play for a promising young basketball team, he knew he wanted to change schools. So he withdrew from Peachtree Ridge after a day, not for any negative reason, only for the one major positive of his new school, Mount Pisgah Christian School in Alpharetta. Now he gets to play point guard for his father Joe, Duluth's boys basketball coach from 1981 to 2004 and Mount Pisgah's new coach. Other than pee-wee baseball, he has never played for his dad. "Growing up in Duluth, it's always been a dream of mine," Tony said of playing for his father. "As the time came to decide (about a transfer), I thought about that. As much as I didn't want to leave my friends, my dad's been through a lot the last couple of years. A chance like this doesn't come up too often, so I had to take it." The youngest of three Marelle children said his friends at Peachtree Ridge supported his decision. They understood there was a time when playing for his father was the least of his concerns. Joe Marelle has spent the better part of the last seven years fighting for his life, first against non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and then against Leukemia. Given six months to live back in 1998, he beat the lymphoma but was hit with Leukemia, which was put in remission last year by a bone marrow transplant. During the hard times, it wasn't certain that Joe would ever coach again. Or live. "It went through my head that I might never get to play for him," Tony said. "In eighth grade, he was out of the hospital and in the hospital. Out of the hospital, in the hospital. It was the same thing in ninth grade. There were times when I wasn't even worried about not playing for him because he was in such bad shape. I was worried about other things." As it turns out, Tony will join a pretty good team at Mt. Pisgah. Two 6-foot-11 transfers, Ralph Sampson III (son of the former NBA center of the same name) and German Mike Dejworek, have enrolled at the school, which has one more season of Georgia Independent School Association play before joining the Georgia High School Association in 2006-2007, Tony's senior year. Joe Marelle said he left the decision to transfer entirely up to his son, but admits he was excited when he got the news. "I'm going to be highly critical of him and I'll expect more out of him (than other kids)," he said. "On the other side, we'll get to spend a lot of time together and that's going to be great." Will Hammock can be reached via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com . His column appears on Thursdays.

AP says artist made up story about Obama poster
NEW YORK In court papers filed by The Associated Press, the news organization said Shepard Fairey concocted the story that he was mistaken about which photo he used to create the famous Obama HOPE poster and disputed his contention that he has not personally profited from the iconic red, white and blue image.
Days after Fairey acknowledged trying to destroy potentially damaging evidence in his legal battle with the AP, the news agency filed amended papers in Manhattan federal court, accusing the Los Angeles-based poster artist of deliberate deception.
Until recently, Fairey had claimed his image was based on a 2006 photo of then-Sen. Barack Obama, seated next to actor George Clooney. Fairey now says that he was in error and that he used a solo, close-up shot of Obama, as the AP had long alleged.
"It is simply not credible that Fairey somehow forgot in January 2009 which source image he used to create the Infringing Works, which were completed only a year earlier in January 2008," according to the papers filed Tuesday.
"It also strains credulity that an experienced graphic designer such as Shepard Fairey misremembered cropping George Clooney out of a source image and making other changes ... when no such cropping or other changes were ever made."
Fairey's attorneys filed amended court papers Friday night, saying the artist had fabricated information and destroyed material to cover up evidence of which picture he used. Anthony Falzone, executive director of the Fair Use Project at Stanford University, and the other lawyers plan to seek permission from the court to withdraw from the case.
Fairey and Falzone have both said that regardless of Fairey's action, his work is still protected by fair use.
"Shepard continues to stand by his statement from last Friday," said Fairey's spokesman, Jay Strell. "He has apologized and taken responsibility for his actions. The more important question is why the AP continues to spend enormous financial resources attacking Shepard and diverting the debate from the central question in this case, which is whether he transformed the ... image into a work of art, which he has."
Fairey sued the not-for-profit news cooperative in February, arguing that he didn't violate copyright law because he dramatically changed the image and thus was protected by "fair use" guidelines. The AP countersued in March, saying the uncredited, uncompensated use of an AP photo violated copyright laws and signaled a threat to journalism.
"Fair use" is determined, in part, by how much a new work changes an older one. The photo that Fairey acknowledges using appears closer to the "HOPE" artwork than does the picture of Obama and Clooney.
Fairey has long contended that he did not make money off of the image, which has appeared on posters, buttons, shirts and stickers, in books and in museums, including the National Portrait Gallery in Washington. But the AP alleged Tuesday that Fairey, through his Obey Clothing store, has "generated substantial revenue from the commercial exploitation of the Obama posters on T-shirts and other merchandise."

The problem with T-storms on the Chesapeake is that many 'form' and stay stationary as they form along the western shore before moving off, usually towards the NE.
Some 'hints':
if caught out, go 'south' or SE and avoid the typical NE track.
If the wind is actively rising
(strong updraft) or
out of
(strong downdraft) a visible growing Tstorm along the W. Shore .... either get to port, anchor close to and in the lee of the W shore, or 'run away'. When a T-storm is downdrafting (with strong 'outflow') ... expect the 'worst' conditions.
Anytime you are out on the bay, and there are quickly forming black clouds on the W. shore ... and the wind is 'rising', get into port as soon as possible is the most 'defensive' / safest tactic.
If possible stay ~3mi. from the 'darkest' part of the T'storm cloud, even if 'blue' overhead, to avoid the occasional 'bolt from the blue'.
Fronts, including 'white squalls':
With approaching fronts with imbedded Tstorms, favor the Western shore, get to a lee port (less fetch) ... or anchor in the lee close to shore if necessary .... avoid passing through 'inlets' or river entrances, unless you
can 'make it'. (example entrances to Magothy R., Rappahannock, Patapsco, Patuxent, etc. ) during or near the max. wind as the land effects will 'funnel' the wind through the 'passes'.
Keeping 'moving' seems to be good tactic as for some unknown reason moving boats seem to get 'hit' with lightning less than anchored or docked boats ... Ive been 'hit' three times ... always when not moving. (Good thing is most insurance policies dont apply penalty when hit by lightning).
Same applies to Tstorms developing over the Delaware shore of the Delaware Bay.
Yeah, but... July 2010 there was a rapidly moving, fast developing storm that passed through N. Va and the Bay catching even the NWS off guard.
It had been a delightful day of sailing s/ newbies; sunny, warm, 10-12 knots and we were southeast of CHESAPEAKE BCH.
I saw the darkness and ASSUMED it would move across the bay. By the time I figured out that it was getting darker and not moving left to right as I expected it was bearing down on us.
I heard a panicked MAYDAY and incoherent screaming and Herrington something on the radio, went below to tell them to speak slower and more clearly. That wasn't much good. Came up and was going to get some sail down and that fast we had wind/whitecaps on us and it was blowing 30+ Waves built to 4-5' in no time.
Boat slewed over sideways as I had all sail still up. Starting the engine helped but I couldn't take onto port (towards the center of the bay) Finally got some jib rolled in, dropped the main enough to use the one reef. Things settled down and then we rode out the storm. Tore the old and about to be replaced main half way up.
Afterwards I heard from two separate boats that they registered 52 knots.
NWS radar guesstimated 70 knots in places.
Keep SOME sail up to steady the boat and to have steerage if your engine craps out. Keep an eye on the weather; late afternoon Tstorms are to be expected in summer on the Bay!

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is losing confidence in the prospect of Avram Grant being his long-term manager.
The Independent says the 52-year-old, despite his continued optimism, is highly unlikely to be the club's manager come the start of next season. Part of Abramovich's frustration, which, according to sources, was apparent after Wednesday's 4-4 draw against Tottenham Hotspur, is the fact that Grant does not appear able to rise to the occasion and deal with the so-called "big games" he needs to win.
The Russian did not "enjoy" the events at White Hart Lane and fears that if his ambitions are to be fully realised then he may have to start looking for another manager – although, despite numerous suggestions from within the club, he has not settled on a candidate. If he is replaced, Grant will be offered the chance to return to the job he first took at the club last summer, against Jose Mourinho's wishes, as its director of football.

Cameron Douglas
INSIDE STORY: The Drug Case Against Michael Douglas's Son
Originally posted 08/09/2009 08:50AM
Cameron Douglas was careful to use aliases, code words, rented mailboxes and disposable phones, but in the end the son of Oscar winner Michael Douglas was done in by former friends and associates to help save their own skin.
A 10-page complaint written and filed by the New York State Drug Enforcement Agency was unsealed against Douglas – who was arrested earlier this week on methamphetamine charges – and painted a portrait of the 31-year-old as a drug dealer who over the last three years sold a huge amount of crystal meth, often out of posh hotels in New York and Los Angeles using FedEx to move money and drugs across the country.
Douglas, a sometimes actor and producer who worked as a deejay in clubs in New York and L.A., would use his one-time assistant to make introductions to potential buyers of large amounts of methamphetamine, the complaint said.
Michael Douglas's Son Arrested on Drug Charge
Originally posted 08/04/2009 07:30AM
Michael Douglas's son Cameron Douglas has been arrested in New York on a drug charge, according to reports.
Douglas, 30, was arrested at the Hotel Gansevoort in Manhattan and faces a methamphetamine-dealing charge, according to the Associated Press.
Michael Douglas was out of the country and unavailable for comment. His longtime rep declined to comment to PEOPLE.

ADHD Professionals
Newly diagnosed... top ways to manage??
Recently diagnosed with ADHD, I am a 46 yr old relatively successful business owner / consultant.
I truly consider this a gift in terms of getting the "big picture" and connecting dots so quickly, but it certainly holds me back in terms of organization, chasing shiny pennies, juggling too many balls, frustrating my employees with my high-energy and constant changes, etc..
I would appreciate any and all advice on the best and most effective strategies to manage this as I search for information and support. While not completely opposed to meds, I am very reluctant to go that route and prefer exhausting other solutions first.
Thanks in advance!

Henrik Stenson leads BMW
Updated: June 23, 2011, 2:17 PM ETAssociated Press
MUNICH, Germany -- Henrik Stenson shot an 8-under 64 in poor weather Thursday to take a one-shot lead after the opening round of the BMW International Open.
Stenson was among the late starters who had to endure a rainfall that made for higher scoring in the afternoon, but the Swedish star still managed seven birdies and an eagle to go along with a lone bogey.
"I don't have much to complain about," Stenson said. "I think the course played a shot tougher this afternoon, but if ...

Shrink from your calling, your destiny, and you not only deprive yourself, you deprive the world of the contributions you came here to make. Keep life's call at bay and you will never be able to tap into the full majesty of your true nature.
Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.
Horace Mann
With so much at stake, life will not permit you to give your destiny the cold shoulder indefinitely. Ignore your calling long enough and it will eventually surface as a need.
The willing, Destiny guides them; the unwilling, Destiny drags them.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Resistance is futile. Inevitably, you will find yourself at a crossroads, agonizing over which path to take. Reinventing yourself can be intimidating, especially if you believe that destiny will be thrust upon you against your wishes.
There are two kinds of people: Those who believe their lives are determined by forces outside themselves, and those who believe that their lives are determined by a Force inside themselves.
Alan Cohen
Allow fear to get the best of you and it will sabotage your noblest desires and weigh you down with the awful heaviness of self-loathing and regret.
Fear is the fire that melts Icarian wings.
Florence Earle Coates
Even if you manage to chain up the yearning of your soul in the dungeon of your denials, you cannot help but hear, in your quiet moments, the weeping of angels.
Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing—where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger; which he knows he was meant and made to do.
