With Asus' slickest user interface yet, included keyboard, and a competitive starting price, the small but chunky Transformer Pad TF103 is an attractively affordable tablet hybrid.
CNET editors choose and review the best thin and light laptops, notebooks, and ultrabooks.
Razer's newest gaming laptop trades ultralong battery life for a fantastic screen and even better graphics. It's a trade worth making: this is the best Razer gaming laptop, and the best thin gaming PC anywhere.
It's not the most attractive PC out there, but the Asus ET2300INTI has a broad array of features that will entice those looking for a mainstream Windows 8 all-in-one.
The Asus ET2700INKS will meet the needs of anyone searching for a fast, large-screen all-in-one for mainstream home entertainment and general-purpose productivity.
Meet the new 14 and 15-inch CT-14 and CT-15, Vizio's first forays into the crowded ultrabook arena. We take a close-up look.
Asus brought Netbooks into the world, and with the last-gasp Eee PC 1025C Flare, it looks like it's going to take them out as well.
If the price is right, you don't need to look any further than the Samsung 830 series to upgrade your computer's internal storage to the best possible performance.
Asus updates the Eee PC line with AMD's excellent ultraportable CPU, making for a powerful, portable package, but the field is getting crowded in this category.
The compact 10-inch Asus Eee PC 1015PN offers a dual-core Atom processor and Nvidia Ion graphics for decidedly better-than-average Netbook performance, but premium ultraportables that aren't much more expensive can do better still.
The thin design and Nvidia Optimus automatic graphics switching on the Asus UL80J-BBK5 are appealing, but the underperforming CPU and battery life on this compact 14-incher are disappointments.

Dept. of Defense identifies slain Arizona Marine
PHOENIX -- The Department of Defense says a soldier from northeastern Arizona has been killed while serving in Afghanistan.
Pentagon officials say 34-year-old Staff Sgt. Jonathan D. Davis, of Kayenta, died last Friday while conducting combat operations in the Helmand province of Afghanistan.
Details weren't immediately announced Monday.
Davis was assigned to Headquarters Battalion, 32nd Georgian Liaison Team, Regimental Combat Team 7, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force out of Camp Pendleton, Calif.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer ordered that flags at all state office buildings be lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset Tuesday in honor of Davis.

08 October 2013 12:00 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Asia's open-spec naphtha prices rose to a seventh-session high on Tuesday, reversing Monday's losses owing to a refinery outage in Japan, which is a major petrochemical player, traders said.
The second-half November contract rose by $18.75/tonne from Monday to $909.00-911.00/tonne CFR (cost and freight) Japan, erasing the losses of $14.25/tonne on 7 October, ICIS data showed.
At the close of trade on Tuesday, the first-half December contract was traded at $909/tonne and at $910/tonne, traders said.
Japan's JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corp shut a 110,000 bbl/day crude topper unit at its Mizushima B refinery in Okayama prefecture following a fire on 7 October.
All other units at the site are currently operating normally, and the company has yet to fix a timeline for the restart of the No 3 unit, a company source said.
The fire occurred at the No 3 unit at around 17:00 Japan time (08:00 GMT) and was extinguished more than two hours later.
The refinery fire could spur Japan to seek more naphtha overseas, hence a booster to prices.
However, fundamentally, the overall Asian naphtha market remained awash with supply, as reflected in the weakening of the intermonth spreads to parity levels, traders said.
The intermonth naphtha spread between the second-half November and the second-half December contracts was at parity on Tuesday, from a backwardation of $1.50/tonne a day ago, ICIS data showed.

SpeedWeek: Local racers revving up for All-Star Showdown
Borneman plans to run a selected Nationwide Series schedule in addition to the Camping World West Series this year.
Perhaps the most interesting San Diegan running at Irwindale is Engle, who will be driving a Rick McCray entry in tomorrow night's Super Late-Model feature.
Engle is a two-time national karting champion who started racing Legend cars at Irwindale last year. Before the season was over, Engle was invited to run a late-model stock-car race at Irwindale in a car owned by McCray. Engle finished eighth in his first race in a full-sized car after starting 22nd.
Tomorrow night will be his first race on the high-speed, half-mile oval at Irwindale.
Among the other entries in tomorrow night's race is two-time Cajon Speedway champion David Beat. The Blossom Valley driver will be in a car owned by Ron Esau.
Cole Whitt: Reigning USAC Midget champion qualifies fourth, finishes second in the B Main and eighth in the championship race of the 290-car Chili Bowl in Tulsa, Okla.
Jake Gagne: After finishing third in the series in 2008, the 15-year-old Ramona road-racing rider's hopes of becoming the Red Bull AMA U.S. Rookies champion in 2009 were dashed when the series is canceled.Online: To read more of Bill Center's motorsports report, go to uniontrib.com/more/motorsports

I've been having some pain near my knee cap, slightly to the right of my left knee since my long run last Saturday. It hurts mainly going up and down stairs, but no pain when inactive. The pain lasts for the first 2 miles of my run then seems to subside. So I just continued to run through it. Today I went out to do my long run and after less than a minute of running I heard a crackle and pop. I immediately stopped but now my knee pops with every step I take. I can feel it with my hand. It's also slightly swollen. I've been icing and taking ibuprofen. I texted my sports PT friend with a picture of the affected area and she said it sounds like an inflammed patellafemoral joint. She said osteopedic Dr.'s typically aren't concerned about popping or crackling. I am registered for a 10k on Sunday and she said if she were me (she is a runner too) she would go ahead and try to run the race. Has anyone else dealt with this problem in the past? I am already annoyed beyond belief that I missed running today and tomorrow's race I have a chance of placing for a medal. Of course I don't want to cause any long term damange but would like to run the race. Just wanted to get some opinions....

Doctor. Yep. So sorry - but you did the smartest possible thing by bagging on that race. There is always another race, but you have a limited supply of knees. *hugs* Hope you get it resolved quickly. I know how much it sucks.

That advice is very similar to the advice I got from my doc when I was having tracking/patellofemoral issues in college.
I think you'll be surprised how much the exercises, stretching and brace will improve things. If you're nervous about running, take a few weeks and use the eliptical or bike or something similar to get your cardio in and maintain your basic fitness level without so much stress on your knees.

I have dealt with this type of knee pain my whole life. I have done PT, but it has never fully gone away, just lessened. I have actually considered the surgery to help correct the issue, but I have been reading that the surgery may do more damage in the long run now.
I had a large knee brace I wore while running, but my knees were getting worse. On a whim, I decided to try this knee brace and after the adjustment period, my knees are doing better. They still pop and crack, but the pain is not as bad as before.
I also notice a difference in how my knees feel if I skip my yoga workouts. Yoga is good for strengthening the hamstrings and keeping things stretched out.

An E coli outbreak suspected to have been caused by tainted vegetables has claimed 14 victims in Germany, authorities said on Monday, while more deaths were "probable" and shipments of "suspect cucumbers" to five other European countries had been traced.
In the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, a 91-year-old woman, who was also suffering from other health problems, died on Sunday, while on Monday a woman aged between 40 and 50 also died after becoming infected with enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC).
A third woman, aged 87, and a 75-year-old man died in the eastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on Monday. The latest victims are the first outside northern Germany. Of the 14 people who have died in the outbreak, 12 have been women.
After a meeting of government and regional ministers in Berlin, Health Minister Daniel Bahr warned that "unfortunately an increasing number of cases are to be reckoned with." Reinhard Burger, president of the Robert Koch Institute, responsible for disease control and prevention in the country, warned that "further deaths cannot be ruled out, and are in fact probable." However, while the number of infections continued to rise, the rate had slowed in Hamburg, the northern city where most cases had been reported.
"I hope very much that this is a sign that the wave of infections has already peaked," Hamburg Health Senator Cornelia Pruefer-Storcks said.
But Burger warned against eating raw vegetables in northern Germany.
Washing vegetables before eating was not enough, he said, adding that while he understood the plight of farmers "the protection of the population's health takes precedence." EHEC had a "European dimension" Consumer Protection Minister Ilse Aigner said, adding that "we are facing a great challenge." There have been almost four dozen cases reported in five other European countries — Austria, Britain, Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden — with another three found in the United States.
Health authorities in Norway also reported finding contaminated cucumbers but said they had not entered the market.
Many of the victims were suffering from haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (HUS), a form of kidney failure caused by E coli.
But all have so far only involved people who recently were in Germany or German nationals travelling abroad.
Germany has blamed the outbreak on organically grown cucumbers imported from Spain, though Spanish Health Minister Leire Pajin said there was "no proof, no evidence" behind the accusations.
Spanish Rural Affairs Minister Rosa Aguilar said she would ask Germany to clarify the origin of the contamination. Spain would seek financial compensation from the European Union for the "irreparable and unfair" damage that the scandal had caused to Spanish vegetable producers, Aguilar said.
Meanwhile, Russia on Monday banned all imports of vegetables from Germany and Spain.
"If the situation does not change, we will block all vegetable products from the entire EU," government spokesman Gennady Onishchenko said.

Corpus Christi police target prostitution
CORPUS CHRISTI - Authorities have arrested 20 people on prostitution-related offenses in the past two weeks, using tactics including posing as prostitutes on the Internet.
Corpus Christi police arrested five men Saturday as the result of an undercover sting using various Web sites and police officers posing as prostitutes, said Capt. John Houston.
"It is similar to a sting that we do on the street, where undercover officers pose as prostitutes, but this time we used the Internet," Houston said.
Houston said police will continue to crack down on prostitution because authorities feel it is often the root of problems in a neighborhood.
"Most of the prostitutes have a significant drug problem, so drug dealers follow, and then criminals coming into the area to steal from them and so on," Houston said. "It's a quality-of-life issue. Then you have families who can't let their kids outside."
Houston said five women also were arrested for prostitution along Leopard Street, in an unrelated recent sting.
All the charges are misdemeanors.

DEAR PEGGY: I have celiac disease, and I wonder if I can substitute cornstarch in recipes that call for flour. —H.P., Clifton Park, New York
It's now estimated that one in every 133 Americans has celiac disease, an immune response to the gluten found in wheat, barley and rye. For celiac sufferers, eating gluten-filled foods can damage intestines and affect nutrient absorption.
Corn doesn't contain gluten, so you can substitute cornstarch in sauces and soups that use flour as a thickener. But there are a few things to remember:
Indulgence no longer has to feel guilty. Go ahead, treat yourself!

One of the thing that jumped out at me from those folks in Donna's link, was that for a couple averaging over $50K per year in costs, how miniscule was their annual cost for charts and guides... They're obviously relying primarily on e-charts. The cost of carrying "a decent set of (paper) charts" for a circumnavigation today has become astronomical, and those wishing to do their voyaging/navigating 'the old-fashioned way' are gonna pay for it now, bigtime...
The days of doing anything other than a non-stop circumnavigation on the cheap are gone, the fixed costs of fees for entry into various countries have skyrocketed in recent years, they remain basically the same whether you're sailing a 20' Flicka or an 80' Oyster, and will only continue to increase... If one really wants to go places, there's just no getting around many of those costs...
When actual costs exceeded expectations, the root was repair and maintenance. In a few cases, marina fees in some parts of the world were the reason. Docking fees have soared in the past few years, and services have become more expensive, said Barry Esrig, the owner of a Baltic 51, Lady E. Croatia often charges for anchoring, while Turkey now requires an agent to clear in and out. Jim Patek of Lets Go!, an Ovni 435, offered a similar sentiment. On my latest voyage, I observed right away that the day of the shoestring cruiser is gone, he said. In some of the places where we used to anchor, one must now use docking or mooring facilities.
Capn Fatty Goodlander found that on his second circumnavigation aboard his boat, Wild Card, a Hughes 38, costs were occasionally higher than expected due to several factors. Clearing-in and -out costs are now skyrocketing, he said.

Court debates when murder of pregnant woman is murder of fetus
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - When is the murder of a pregnant woman the murder of her fetus?
That was the philosophical argument the California Supreme Court debated Wednesday. A lower court, for the first time, said a murderer must know the victim was pregnant to be guilty of murdering the unborn.
California's fetal-murder law was first passed by the California Legislature in 1970. The law is being used to prosecute Scott Peterson for double murder in connection to the deaths of his wife, Laci, and her 8-month-old fetus.
The Legislature adopted the fetal-murder law, which excludes abortions, after the California Supreme Court overturned the fetal-murder conviction of a Stockton man who, while beating his estranged wife, killed her unborn child. At the time, the court dismissed the conviction because California's murder law did not recognize a fetus.
Now that California's murder law recognizes fetuses, the issue before the justices was whether that law should treat the unborn the same as it does the born.
The case reached the high court after a state appeals court overturned the fetal-murder conviction of Harold Taylor, a Vietnam veteran found guilty of murdering his former Mendocino County lover who investigators said was at least 10 weeks pregnant.
On appeal, Taylor claimed he didn't know victim Patty Fansler was pregnant, and he successfully argued that he could not be prosecuted for murdering her fetus, which died when Taylor, in a fit of rage, shot and killed the woman in her Ukiah apartment in 1999.
In overturning the fetal-murder conviction, the San Francisco-based 1st District Court of Appeal ruled in 2002 that murder in California requires "malice aforethought" - a willful intent to take the life of another - and a "conscious disregard" for life.
The court, in making a highly nuanced and esoteric distinction between the born and unborn, ruled that it's not a conscious disregard for life if a fetus - unbeknownst to the killer - dies when its mother is murdered.
"As contrasted to the risk to human life, the risk to unknown fetal life is latent and indeterminate, something the average person would not be aware of or consciously disregard," the appeals court ruled.
During nearly an hour of arguments among the justices and lawyers Wednesday, a majority appeared satisfied that prior knowledge of pregnancy was not necessary to sustain a fetal-murder conviction. Still, Justice Joyce Kennard said, "I find it a very difficult issue."
California's law in question, with various versions in 29 states, exempts abortion and applies to all fetuses beyond eight weeks gestation. Many other states cover fetuses that are viable - ones that can live outside the womb. Congress is considering adopting a fetal-homicide rule.
Chief Justice Ronald M. George and other justices wondered aloud that it might not be practical to demand knowledge of pregnancy. Sometimes, the justices said, it might be too hard to know whether a woman is pregnant.
What if the pregnant woman is a crossdresser, George asked. Justice Marvin Baxter suggested a woman's obesity might mask her pregnancy.

As of Wednesday, May 15, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
McDONOUGH — During batting practice before its Class A private school semifinals game against Darlington on Tuesday, Eagle's Landing Christian catcher Cameron Ragsdale could sense something different about his teammates.
The senior said they "hit good during BP", and it seem to transition into the game.
ELCA had a power surge at the plate in a 24-5 win over Darlington to clinch the best-of-three series to earn a spot in Saturday's championship game.
The Chargers exploded for 20 hits, including a 14-hit, 17-run inning in the sixth to blow the game open.
"Oh my gosh, that was a lot of fun," Ragsdale said. "We hit good in BP, and I didn't think Darlington had much pitching left. In baseball, hitting is contagious."
ELCA coach Doug Campbell said Monday's loss in Game 2 of the series left a bad taste in the teams mind. The Chargers were up 9-3 only to lose 10-9 to force a decisive third game. ELCA, the top seed in the private school tournament, won the opening game 8-3 to win its eighth straight game.
Campbell said that Tuesday game reminded him of a 29-run game the Chargers had against Landmark Christian in 2005, in which they produced a 20-run inning.
"This was the only thing close to that game," Campbell said. "I think they kind of ran out of pitching. (Monday) night sort of shook us up some after blowing that lead in the fifth inning. I could see our intensity level go up some."
Etheridge led the way with four hits, three runs and a team-leading six RBIs. In 38 at-bats, the Chargers produced 21 hits and drew six walks with only one strikeout.
Josh Smith grabbed the win for the Chargers after giving up only five hits in five innings with five strikeouts.
"I've been confident in my teammates all year," ELCA outfielder Jacob Heyward said. "We have been very focused on playing hard."
Mount Paran, which is located in Kennesaw, is the overall No. 3 seed in the tournament. The Eagles defeated George Walton Academy to advance to the championship. Game times are 4 and 7 p.m. on Saturday with an 'if' game on Monday. All three games would be played at ELCA.
"This is an awesome feeling to play for a state title," said pitcher/shortstop Dalton Etheridge, who led the football team to the state title last fall. "This might be a better feeling than playing in the (Georgia) Dome."
Campbell is hopeful the team can continue its momentum and hitting into the Mount Paran series. This is the first meeting between the two teams this season, but ELCA swept Mount Paran last season in the second round.
"Baseball is a little different sport," Campbell said. "You can hit one game, but it doesn't mean it will carry over. You can't will yourself to a win in baseball. One pitch can turn everything around."

National Estuaries Week
National Estuaries Week
Enjoy these unique ecosystems where rivers meet the sea
What You'll Find
An opportunity to learn and celebrate critical coastal habitats on National Estuaries Week, September 20 to 27, 2014, culminating with National Estuaries Day on the last Saturday of September. National Estuaries Week (and Day) promote the importance of estuaries—where fresh water meets the salt water of the ocean—and the need to protect them. It is also a time for people from coast to coast to learn about their connection to these inspirational bays, sounds, lagoons and sloughs and perhaps to enjoy them by boating, swimming, hiking, birding, fishing, crabbing, or digging clams and oysters!
Getting There
First, find an estuary near you! Then find an event—National Estuaries Week events occur nationwide, such as photography contests, canoe trips, estuary clean-ups, exhibits at state capitals, guided estuary tours or public festivals.
Make Sure You
Learn more about estuaries while you explore them with family or friends. Each year, the National Estuarine Research Reserve System organizes special events in bays or estuaries. You might join a guided walk or hike, a canoe or kayak tour or an educational cruise. You can also explore on your own at any time of the year. If you aren't near the coast, you can still view the Estuary Education website's video gallery.
Try This
Use the interactive map on the National Estuaries Week website to find an event near you. You'll also find a complete listing of events below the map. Choose from hands-on restoration events (like beach clean-ups) or take advantage of an educational workshop, class or program.
Eat This
Estuaries produce more food per acre than the most productive mid-western farmland. About 86% of recreational fishing trips occur within 10 miles of the shoreline (in and around estuaries) and 75% of commercial species, including shrimp, oysters and crabs depend upon estuaries for living, breeding and nursery areas. Learn more about the economics of estuaries.
Did You Know?
Estuaries are abundant with life! It's no wonder that marine mammal viewing, birding, fishing, crabbing and clamming are such popular activities. Estuaries can support many different animals and plants because they offer different habitats, from the water, to oyster reefs, coral reefs, kelp, rocky shores and bottoms, soft shores and bottom, coastal marshes, mangroves, deepwater swamps and riverine forests.

Maliki's Deputy Blames Him for Fallujah's Fall
- By David KennerDavid Kenner is the Middle East editor for Foreign Policy.
- david.kenner
- @davidkenner
AMMAN — On Jan. 10, al Qaeda fighters raised their "black flag" over a government building in Fallujah, proclaiming their return to the western Iraqi city that U.S. forces had driven them from years earlier, at the cost of thousands of Iraqi lives. The moment highlighted the jihadist group's resurgence in Anbar Province, one of the most restive areas during the U.S. occupation of the country and a region that has increasingly seemed beyond the control of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government.
The Iraqi government's loss of Fallujah at first appeared to set the stage for an even bloodier military confrontation, as the army shelled what it claimed were al Qaeda strongholds in the city. Yesterday, however, Maliki ruled out a direct assault on the city, saying that he was determined to drive out the jihadists "without any bloodshed."
Maliki has blamed the war in neighboring Syria for the upsurge in violence, and vowed to launch a countrywide "cleanup" campaign against al Qaeda after the army drives the jihadists from Anbar. For Anbar's top politicians, however, Maliki himself is the cause of the country's most dangerous political crisis since the U.S. withdrawal in 2011.
Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-Mutlaq — a former member of Saddam Hussein's Baath Party before being expelled in 1977 — told Foreign Policy that the government in Baghdad was using al Qaeda as a pretext to crack down on its political opponents. Marginalization of Sunni Arabs, Mutlaq added, was leading to their radicalization. And even as he deplored the U.S. invasion for being the root cause of Iraq's problems, he called on Washington to intervene in Iraqi politics to save the country from disaster.
"Yes, I do blame [the Americans]," he said. "And I expect them to do some changes in Iraq now. Not necessarily through military operations, but through political pressure and economic pressure on Iraqi politicians, to make sure that Iraqis feel that they are equal in their own country."
It's hard to think of a less likely country for Mutlaq to place his faith in than the United States. He blames Washington for destroying the foundation of the Iraqi state with the 2003 invasion, for paving the way for what he views as Iran-linked Shiite extremist groups to take power in Baghdad, and for placing the Iraqi Army and intelligence organizations in the hands of officers bent on the elimination of any Sunni influence in the country.
"We were listening to Mr. Obama when he was saying, 'we will withdraw [from Iraq], but withdraw in a responsible way,'" Mutlaq said. "But in fact, the way he did it was irresponsible. Because he left a vacuum behind him that was filled by the Iranians."
But with the United States one of the few countries that could influence Maliki's rule, he is heading to Washington this week to make the case that U.S. officials should pressure Baghdad to govern inclusively.
While Iraqi security officials have claimed that Fallujah is fully under the control the al Qaeda-linked group, the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), Mutlaq contended that the situation in the city was considerably more complex. He said that ISIS was present, but that its influence was "very minimal" compared to that of tribal groups and local residents.
A botched Iraqi military operation over the past month has been partially responsible for driving Anbar residents into open rebellion. On Dec. 21, a roadside bomb killed the commander of the Army's 7th Division in Anbar, prompting Maliki to send reinforcements to the province. But instead of using the army to move against al Qaeda, he tore down a major Sunni anti-government protest site in the provincial capital of Ramadi and arrested a prominent Sunni legislator from the region. Mutlaq had previously been attacked by the demonstrators at the Ramadi protest for working with Maliki's government.
The crackdown on popular dissent has led to accusations that Maliki is conflating the jihadists and his political opponents, and leaving Sunnis with no other recourse but to resort to violence.
"Until now, Sunnis are not willing to participate [in the political process] because they feel that there is no future through participation," Mutlaq said. "This will make another disaster in the country, because the Sunnis are being squeezed — and if they are squeezed to an extent, they will make an explosion."
In the wake of the uprising, Baghdad has implored the United States to immediately send advanced weaponry that it claims would be used to fight al Qaeda. Washington has responded by sending the Iraqi government Hellfire missiles and surveillance drones, but the Senate is still mulling the sale of dozens of Apache attack helicopters to Iraq. In an interview with the Washington Times last week, the Iraqi ambassador to Washington blasted the White House for neglecting its relationship with Baghdad.
"The administration has to have a better understanding of any adverse impact of any delay in provision of support to Iraq," Ambassador Lukman Faily said. "It cannot afford a whole town or province of Iraq falling to al Qaeda and becoming a safe haven."
The proposed sale has placed Maliki's opponents in a bind: While they don't want to be in the position of denying the army needed equipment, they also fear that new weaponry will be used by the prime minister to crack down on his rivals rather than the jihadist threat.
Mutlaq made the case that the United States should pair its military support to Baghdad with political pressure on Maliki to govern in a more inclusive manner.
"It is good to strengthen the Iraqi Army – but the professional army, not the sectarian army. If you strengthen the sectarian army, you are making more hazards for the country," he said. "So what the Americans should do is first correct the political process in Iraq, to ensure equity in the country, justice in the country, and let people feel that they are first-class citizens."

VIRGINIA BEACH -- A new smartphone application could give drunk drivers an edge over police.
The 'Oh Crap App!' tells drivers what to say to an officer when being pulled over, there's a section on basic legal rights and you can even press a button that contacts an on-call lawyer.
'It's good to know what your rights are, but I don't know if I'd be using this on the road,' said driver Tom Benson.
A team of attorneys in Iowa put together the app as a way to educate drivers, but Sgt. Colin Mack with the Virginia Beach Police Department says drivers should proceed with caution.
'Some of the things on there aren't necessarily correct.'
Mack focuses on DUI's in the city as a member of the department's fatal crash unit.
He says some of the information, mainly legal guidelines, are applicable only to drivers in Iowa. Many laws differ from state to state.
'Anyone who wants to educate themselves is free to do so,' he said. 'Just make sure you're following the code of Virginia if you're driving in this state.'
A quick push of a button activates the applications voice recorder during a conversation with an officer. It also has its own blood alcohol calculator.
'I could definitely see myself using those features,' said driver Daniel Hernandez.
Mack says that's another feature drivers shouldn't trust.
'You don't know what the BAC calculator is based on. A lot of people have been arrested in Virginia Beach trying to follow these calculators when they weren't necessarily accurate.'
But there is one piece of information he likes. He calls it the most basic thing drivers need to know.
'It does tell you not to drink and drive, so that's good.'
The application is available for both Apple and Google smartphones.

Redskins' Davis says he's 'nodded off' in meetings
ASHBURN, Va. (AP)
Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis said Wednesday he's ''nodded off'' during meetings, but he said it's something every player does.
He also said he wishes the Redskins had traded him this week if he's not going to be a part of the team's plans for the rest of the season.
''I like it here. I was drafted here,'' Davis said. ''But at the end of the day, I just want to play. If I can't play here, then I did want to play somewhere else.''
Davis has been inactive for the last two games, having fallen behind rookie Jordan Reed as the team's top pass-catching tight end. The 2008 second-round draft pick has talent, but his career has been hindered by injuries and a four-game suspension in 2011 for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
There have also been persistent questions about Davis' work ethic and his ability to focus during meetings, starting from the day he overslept and missed a minicamp practice as a rookie.
''I've never slept through a whole meeting, but I've nodded off,'' he said. ''Everyone nods off. It's dark in there. You're watching film, you nod off, you wake up, get something to drink, go back. I've done that. Everybody's done that.''
Davis' inactivity is costing him money. He re-signed with the Redskins for a one-year deal, hoping to parlay a big season into a hefty multiyear contract in free agency next year. There's also a clause that will deny him a bonus if he's inactive for a certain number of games this year, which he said ''probably'' has something to do with his recent benching.
''It's a business, so I'm sure that plays a factor,'' he said.
Coach Mike Shanahan said he wasn't aware of the clause in Davis' contract. The coach said he has purposely avoided learning about his players' contract incentives since coming to the Redskins.
''I keep away from those things,'' Shanahan said. ''I don't make decisions based on that.''
Shanahan and Davis talked things over before Wednesday's practice.
''I let him know that I expected him to practice at a certain level and have his mind ready to play in the game,'' Shanahan said. ''And you never know when that situation's going to occur.''
Davis was curious as to whether he would be shipped to another team before Tuesday's trade deadline, but there's not much market for a player who will be a free agent in just a few months. He said he's trying to be a good teammate so that other teams will want to sign him next year, but he's obviously frustrated that he's not getting a chance to help a team that's 2-5.
''If I was on another team and they needed a tight end,'' Davis said, ''it would be seen what I can do. ... I know there's plays out there that I can make.''

For its global IT team to be effective, JohnsonDiversey needed a consistent identity management solution for its worldwide workforce, as well as centralized desktop management. Novell solutions help the company centrally manage user identities and assets in a cost effective manner.
> Overview
With sales in more than 140 countries, JohnsonDiversey is a leading global provider of cleaning and hygiene solutions to the institutional and industrial marketplace, serving customers in the lodging, food service, retail, healthcare, food and beverage sectors as well as building service contractors worldwide.
> Challenge
For JohnsonDiversey, managing a mobile workforce is a big challenge, particularly with 10,000 employees in more than a hundred locations throughout the world. Each of the company's applications had a separate user database, making it difficult for IT personnel to maintain accurate data and assign user IDs. The company needed a centralized identity management solution to reduce the increasing costs associated with user administration.
Many of the company's locations lack IT staff to distribute applications and perform regular desktop maintenance. Administration costs were skyrocketing as the company had to send CDs to each office and hire local IT contractors to visit individual workstations. Standardizing its workstations would allow a centralized IT staff to manage its entire environment from a single location.
> Solution
Based on its need for a scalable global directory, JohnsonDiversey selected a Novell identity management solution based on Novell eDirectory and Novell Identity Manager.
"We had some experience with Novell eDirectory and knew we could deploy it globally with confidence," said Renee Turco, manager of Desktop Technology, Global IT at JohnsonDiversey. "It is one of the only products in the industry that would work across hundreds of applications on multiple platforms."
JohnsonDiversey now uses Novell eDirectory as its authoritative source of user identity information and can create standard user IDs across each region. Using Novell Identity Manager, the company can synchronize user identities across applications to reduce the need for manual account creation and updating. Consistent identity management has improved information sharing across regions and helps a centralized IT staff maintain accurate user identity information.
"With Novell, we now have a single ID for our users and have greater confidence in the accuracy of our data," said Richard Strong, director of Global IT at JohnsonDiversey. "Having a standard process for provisioning and deprovisioning users has not only simplified administration, but has also greatly increased data security and improved our ability to comply with regulatory requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley."
With Novell ZENworks, JohnsonDiversey has extended identity management to its desktops to more efficiently manage and maintain its enterprise.
"We evaluated other products, but we needed identity-based desktop management and no other vendor can provide that," said Turco. "Novell ZENworks also scales better than anything else which is critical for our global enterprise."
JohnsonDiversey uses Novell ZENworks to distribute applications and updates to dispersed users in days, rather than weeks or months, and without having to send CDs to each location. The company can also distribute critical software patches much faster to protect its network.
The company's centralized helpdesk uses the remote control features of Novell ZENworks to quickly resolve issues for a user, regardless of location. Users are no longer frustrated by having to wait for a technician to visit their workstation.
"Novell ZENworks Asset Management dramatically improved our ability to maintain an accurate inventory of our workstations," said Turco. "Users are unaware that it is even running and the data reporting capabilities are remarkable."
Without a dedicated internal IT staff to focus on identity and desktop management, JohnsonDiversey hired Novell Consulting to design and implement the solution, based on a broad skill set and best practices from multiple environments.
"We could not have completed such an ambitious, global project without Novell Consulting," said David Teichen, senior project manager in Global IT at JohnsonDiversey. "They did an excellent job helping us see the vision of the project and doing it all with a disciplined approach. It really helps to have another set of eyes looking out for our business."> Results
With Novell Identity Manager and Novell ZENworks, JohnsonDiversey's centralized IT staff can now manage a worldwide enterprise, helping the company reduce administration costs. A central source of user identity information has improved data accuracy and security, as well as compliance with regulatory requirements.
Novell ZENworks has eliminated the need to hire additional IT resources in a variety of regions and has significantly reduced travel time and costs. Using the remote control features of ZENworks, the helpdesk can now resolve user issues much faster.

Real Money, Virtual Wallets
It's a fact that having a budget helps you spend responsibly. Unfortunately, only 1 in 3 families keeps a household budget. www.master-of-finance.org has created an infographic that details new ways to control your finances. Let's take a look!
Finances are complex. The average American has a monthly mortgage payment of $1,061; an average utility bill of $163, a student loan payment of $290, a car payment of $428, and a credit card debt of over $4,500. With these numbers, it's easy to see why Americans need to utilize budgeting tools. And in this digital age, it's easier than ever. Unfortunately, 55.8% of Americans do not use a website to manage their money, and 72.8% don't use a smartphone tablet app to manage their money either. The younger generations, however, have caught on. Financial management app usage is three times higher for younger adults than older generations.

EV Backup
I understand that we need to make sure that we don't schedule the Exchange backup job during the mailbox archiving which will take place at night. What about Journal archiving? There is no way to set the schedule for Journal task. Journal archiving happens all the time. It is safe to run the Exchange backup while Journal archiving?
We will have 2 EV servers (one for Journal archiving and other for Mailbox archiving). Should I backup both EV servers at the same time or separate them?
|Mailbox Archiving:
|Journal Archiving:
|Exchange Backup (incremental):
|Exchange Backup (Full):
|it take full 2 day to complete full backup
|EV Backup (incremental):
|EV Backup (full):
|SQL Database Backup (Full)
|SQL Tranasaction Log Backup (FULL)
|every 2 hours between 8 AM - 9PM
If you would be kind to give me example on how you schedule your Archiving and Backup. We are using HP DataProtector for Exchange, EV Store/Indexes and Native SQL maintenance for the databases.
Mine biggest concern is when the EV backup completed (will clear the backup mode to normal) before the SQL backup completed. Is there a way to verify the status of the SQL database before the Backup script clear the backup mode?
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
I think if you use a Backup program such as NBU or BE that has the EV plugin , it can ensure everythings backed up before taking EV out of backup mode, including the SQL Databases.
Putting EV in to backup mode whilst journaling is running is completely fine, it will just stop items from being removed from the journal mailbox until EV is put back in to online mode instead.
Also with the SQL stuff, what you could do is have a SQL Maintainance job that runs and backs up to disk right at the beginning of the schedule, and then have your backup tapes get a backup of the physical files
So that way by the time backup has completed, you should have had a SQL backup put to disk before it starts up again... one company i worked for did that, kept three days worth of database backups on disk and backed up those files and deleted anything older than three days
It worked out really well because if we ever needed the restored database, we didn't have to pull from tape, we had it right there on the disk, and if the disk went down, we had it on tape
Thanks JesusWept3..
It'll be tough to convince my boss to buy NBU or BE since we only have one big Tape Library for everything and they are using HP Data Protector to control that Tape Library. The challenging is to find a best window time to backup all EV and SQL at the same time where there are like 20+ different backup jobs.
It is ok to run Exchange Backup while Journal archiving is running? I read somewhere that you shouldn't run the Exchange backup during the archiving but you can overlap EV backup with Exchange backup.
As for SQL, database administrator is backing up the SQL database locally to disk and keep it for 3 days before it backup to the tape.
How big can the SQL database get if we are archiving let say around 2 TB of data?
Exchange backup, if you're worried about that you could run a command to evservices.exe to stop the journal task whilst you perform the backup
For the databases, depends on how many users
Take a look at this guide
I was able to create a script to place EV in backup mode and backup SQL database at the same time within HP Data Proector Backup job using Pre-exec and Post-exec command. This worked for me
Pre-Exec script:
Add-PSSnapin SqlServerCmdletSnapin100
$Database_Name=$(Invoke-Sqlcmd -server $Server_Name "SELECT name FROM sys.databases wHERE NAME NOT IN ('TEMPDB')")
foreach ($db in $Database_Name){
Post-Exec Script:
powershell invoke-command {powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass d:\scripts\for_backup\ev_Post-backup-rstn-s-evmv01.ps1} -computername server01

IMI Intelligent Medical Implants Names Robert J. Rosenthal Chief Executive Officer
BONN, Germany, April 6 /PRNewswire/ — IMI Intelligent Medical Implants, a pioneer developer of a system designed to restore vision to people blinded by diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa or macular degeneration, has named veteran life sciences executive, Robert J. Rosenthal, Ph.D., chief executive officer. He is also a member of the IMI board of directors. Dr. Rosenthal has more than 20 years of experience fostering product innovation and building value for customers, shareholders, and employees. Most recently, Dr. Rosenthal was founding president and CEO of Magellan Biosciences, an emerging leader in clinical diagnostic products.
"Bob has held senior executive roles at public and private technology-based companies large and small. The common thread across Bob's career to date is a compelling track record of leadership and success, said IMI Chairman, Vincent Bucci. "He knows what it takes to motivate and inspire a multidisciplinary team and turn a good, innovative idea into a breakthrough product that is ready for and accepted by the market. From a keen understanding of the technology – in IMI's case, a complex amalgamation of medical engineering, biology, neurology, and IT – to strong organizational development, financial management, and regulatory experience, Bob has the skills and knowhow we need to take the company from development to commercial stage."
Previously, Dr. Rosenthal (53) was president and CEO of Boston Life Sciences, an R&D development-phase biopharmaceutical company. Before that, he was president of PerkinElmer's Instruments division, where he managed the acquisition and integration of the Analytical Instruments group from PE Corporation. As president and CEO of Thermo Optek, (now part of Thermo Fisher Scientific) Dr. Rosenthal built a market-leading instrument company, which went public in 1996. Dr. Rosenthal began his management career at Wisconsin-based Nicolet Instrument Corporation, ultimately becoming its president after Thermo Instrument Systems acquired the company. Dr. Rosenthal serves on the board of Safeguard Scientifics, Inc. where he chairs the acquisition committee and is a member of the audit committee. A holding company, Safeguard provides growth capital for entrepreneurial and innovative life sciences and technology enterprises. Dr. Rosenthal also serves on the board of Primera Dx, a molecular-diagnostics company based in Mansfield, Massachusetts, and he is a member of the University of Maryland Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Board of Advisors.
"The IMI technology clearly holds tremendous promise – but that alone won't make a successful product," said Dr. Rosenthal. "I've had the great privilege over the past months to participate in a comprehensive review of the Intelligent Retinal Implant System(TM) meeting with IMI scientists, as well as many of the researchers, neuro-ophthalmologists, and surgeons at partner clinics across Europe. What convinced me to join IMI was the passion of the entire team. These physicians and engineers come to work every day dedicated to pioneering the breakthroughs in technology and medicine to restore sight and make a significant difference in patients' lives. I'm inspired to join them and help IMI fulfill its mission and achieve its goals."
Dr. Rosenthal holds a bachelor's of science degree in chemistry from the University of Maryland, a master's in chemistry from State University of New York (Buffalo), and a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Emory University. He spent a year in Germany completing a post-doctoral fellowship and as a guest scientist of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. This was followed by an additional post-doctoral fellowship at UCLA. In addition, Dr. Rosenthal holds an AEA Executive MBA from Stanford University.
About the Intelligent Retinal Implant System(TM) (IRIS)
IMI's IRIS comprises three integral parts to approximate the information processing normally carried out by the healthy retina. This includes 1) a "Retinal Stimulator" that is implanted on the patient's retina; 2) a pair of spectacles ("Visual Interface") containing an integrated mini-camera and transmitter components for wireless signal and energy transmission to the Retina Stimulator; and 3) a high-speed microprocessor ("Pocket Processor") worn at the waist that contains tunable software to provide intelligently processed (or coded) visual information to the implant and optic nerve cells, which the brain learns to interpret and translate into functional sight. Proprietary algorithms enhance the systems performance. For example, a unique attribute is the system's use of patient feedback on perception as an input for tuning the Pocket Processor. This process has shown great promise in expediting and optimizing visual perception as the patient learns to see again. Another benefit over other implantable devices is that the IMI Retinal Stimulator can be easily upgraded with a next-generation device as sensor technology advances: the detachable IMI unit clips onto a special tack that is implanted in the back of the eye, expediting device removal and replacement.

PIQUA — What better way to spend an evening in Ohio than on a farm along the Miami and Erie Canal? On Saturday, Aug. 16, at 6:30 p.m., the Johnston Farm & Indian Agency, Piqua, will host their annual Evening on the Canal. Visitors will enjoy a wonderful meal of baked pork chop, garlic and butter red potatoes, colorful green beans, and cherry dump cake for dessert served in the comfort of the Education Center, overlooking an original and restored mile-long section of the Miami and Erie Canal.
The completed Miami and Erie Canal extended from Cincinnati to Toledo following the Great Miami River much of the trek, with many supporting feeder canals along the way. The Great Miami River had a constant flow and travel for canal boats was prohibitive. But those river waters fed into the paralleling Big Ditch, as the canal was also known, and provided a stable and reliable water table for canal travel.
"After dinner, guests will board the General Harrison of Piqua for a relaxing ride as twilight settles on the canal. Along with the clip-clop of hooves on the towpath, passengers may encounter any of a variety of characters that could have been travelling on any of Ohio's canals. Missioners, temperance proponents, ladies of questionable character, and the boat crew itself would each add to the excitement of a trip on the canals of Ohio," said Andy Hite, historic site manager for the Johnston Farm & Indian Agency.
The Johnston Farm & Indian Agency owns and operates one of the few working canal boats in Ohio and is still drawn, as it was nearly two centuries ago, by mules or horses. The bright blue and yellow General Harrison of Piqua is 70 feet in length and can be seen on the same canal transporting passengers and cargo as boats did in the 19th century. The sleek General Harrison of Piqua is a modern professional hand crafted vessel but such well-constructed vessels weren't always on the case. During the canal days, if you could build a boat, get it on the water and pay the state's licensing fee, you could be a boat operator. No two boats were allowed to have the same name. This was done in order to eliminate any confusion in operations.
The Evening on the Canal program is never the same, but it is a reservation-only event, so call early to book your passage for this popular once-a-year opportunity. Cost for the event is $35 for adults, $30 for children 6-12; $30 and $25 for Johnston Farm Friends Council and Ohio History Connection members. For reservations, call (937) 773-2522 or (800) 752-2619.

Sig 11 on 61.11 drivers, 2.6.8+ kernel
3 Attachment(s)
I've searched this board and tried almost every suggestion to get the accelerated nVidia drivers to work. At best it simply dies after startx with a sig11, no errors in the log or to stderr. The vanilla "nv" driver works fine, and the "nvidia" drivers works ok when I do "opengl-update xfree86" but obviously i end up with unaccellerated 3D.
I'm now using a hacked kernel 2.6.9-rc2-bk15, though I tried vanilla 184.108.40.206, and gentoo's modified 2.6.8 kernel. The system is clean, I just installed it 2 days ago from stage1. I'm using XFree86.
Here is my kernel config, XF86Config and X log file. I believe the card is PCI, so I have not toyed with AGPGART stuff. I'm reasonably sure that the problem must relate to the various library symbolic links, (and I have no /usr/lib/tls directory, tho I have no idea what that means anyway, just been reading posts).
If anyone has ideas, I'm at the end of my leash and about to suffer along with unaccelerated 3D. ( :lame: )
Re: Sig 11 on 61.11 drivers, 2.6.8+ kernel
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
Re: Sig 11 on 61.11 drivers, 2.6.8+ kernel
Wow, didn't even see it. Turned out there was a bunch of old stuff that got installed there, (undoubtedly by either opengl-update or some old emerge). I deleted the nvidia directory under the X11R6 hierarchy, reran the nvidia installer and voila, accelerated 3D.
Thanks for the help!
Re: Sig 11 on 61.11 drivers, 2.6.8+ kernel
bliff, you are...
Your problem above happened, because you used the installer on gentoo. And you will hit a lot more over time, because there is more to remove then /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia.
Congratulations, you have almost borked you installation. Please, use only the ebuild, the next time you install gentoo. The latest drivers are always in the tree, most of the time with important patches.
But you are so smart, to force an alien installer to throw some files into the system.
You should run glxinfo, I bet there are more errors.
And next time, think twice. Thank you
Re: Sig 11 on 61.11 drivers, 2.6.8+ kernel
glxinfo returns no errors, I scrubbed the X11 directory clean based on the XF86log output. I used the nvidia installer because the emerge'd drivers weren't working. I don't really like package utilities as a rule and tend to use them only for core system stuff anyway.
Rather than troll the boards why don't you ask one of the moderators to put this on a README or something. Berating people who don't know any better isn't helpful.
Re: Sig 11 on 61.11 drivers, 2.6.8+ kernel
and did you scrub the includes too?
and the modules?

Jaguars to play 4 home games in London
"It's just good for the Jaguar brand," tight end Marcedes Lewis said. "It's exciting to go over there and put ourselves on the map worldwide. When I got drafted in 2006, there were some of my family members who didn't even know who the Jaguars were."
Players recognized the major pitfalls - traveling overseas and giving up home games - but no one knocked the decision publicly.
"We know football is the greatest sport in the states, so for fans in other areas who don't get to watch it first hand, it's good for them to experience and see what we all brag about," cornerback Rashean Mathis said.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell joined Khan for the announcement, which fittingly came on a gray, rain-soaked day in Jacksonville - typical London weather. Goodell reaffirmed his commitment to expanding to multiple games in England and eventually establishing a franchise there.
"The big issue for us was finding a community that understood that this could be great for the community, wrap their arms around it and say this is a win-win situation," Goodell said.
Khan said the Jaguars are committed to playing all four years at Wembley, even if the team becomes a Super Bowl contender and a hot ticket in Jacksonville.
"I think if you make a commitment, you stick with it," said Khan, who bought the team in November for $770 million. "To me, we're all in."
Khan added that he would consider playing more games overseas after the deal expires in 2016. He also acknowledged that the payoff probably won't be seen immediately. He suggested that Londoners could fall in love with the Jaguars and decide to visit Jacksonville regularly. The ultimate goal, though, would be to have European companies spend millions in Jacksonville.
"If somebody builds a container port, if somebody makes an investment out of Germany or England or Netherlands and they chose Jacksonville, that would be a huge return from my viewpoint," Khan said. "You could have people come here - we've got beautiful golf, weather - instead of vacationing in Miami or some place and they come up here and watch a game or two. That would be a huge return for me."
Coach Mike Mularkey and cornerback Aaron Ross have made the trip before - Ross with the New York Giants in 2007, and Mularkey with the Dolphins that year - and both praised the fans and the experience they gained from making the trip.
"I know Shad's been trying to have people recognize what's going on here in this town," Mularkey said. "I think this is a great opportunity to get it. Obviously going overseas, that's making a statement."

Google invades Siri's turf with iPhone, iPad app
Wednesday - 5/1/2013, 12:18am EDT
AP Technology Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Siri may be feeling a little job insecurity. The sometimes droll assistant that answers questions and helps people manage their lives on Apple's iPhone and iPad is facing competition from an up-and-coming rival made by Google.
The duel began Monday with the release of a free iPhone and iPad app that features Google Now, a technology that performs many of the same functions as Siri.
It's the first time that Google Now has been available on smartphones and tablet computers that aren't running on the latest version of Google's Android software. The technology, which debuted nine months ago, is being included in an upgrade to Google's search application for iOS, the Apple Inc. software that powers the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. It's up to each user to decide whether to activate Google Now within the redesigned Google Search app, which is available through Apple's app store.
Siri tried to dismiss the competitive threat. When asked for an opinion about Google Now, Siri responded: "If it's all the same to you, I'd rather Google later."
Mike Allton, a St. Charles, Mo., resident who has owned an iPhone for four years, could hardly wait to check out Google Now, even if Siri might interpret it as a betrayal.
Siri "is looking a little green with envy," Allton, 36, said with a laugh after he installed Google's new app. "I love Apple products, but I like to see the competition because it probably will lead to even more improvements. I believe this technology is going to be even more deeply ingrained in our lives a few years from now."
Other iPhone users -- even those who have grown fond of Siri -- welcomed Google Now's arrival to iOS in mostly enthusiastic and sometimes amusing remarks posted on Twitter and Google Plus. One person joked that Google Now is so helpful that the technology prompted him to wash his hands after using the bathroom. The biggest gripe was about the possibility of Google Now's location-tracking features draining a device's battery more quickly.
Google Now's invasion of Siri's turf marks Google Inc.'s latest attempt to lure iPhone and iPad users away from a service that Apple built into its own devices.
Google quickly won over millions of iPhone users in December when it released a mapping application to replace the navigation system that Apple dumped when it redesigned iOS last fall. Apple's maps application proved to be inferior to Google's ousted service. The app's bugs and glitches made Apple the butt of jokes and fueled demand for Google to develop a new option.
Apple has been losing to Google on other fronts in a rapidly growing mobile computing market, an arena that was revolutionized with the iPhone's release in 2007. Smartphones and tablet computers running Google's free Android software have been steadily expanding their market share in recent years, partly because they tend to be less expensive than the iPhone and iPad. In 2012, Android devices held about 69 percent of the smartphone market while iOS had about 19 percent, according to the research firm IDC.
Android's success has been particularly galling for Apple because its late CEO, Steve Jobs, believed Google stole many of its ideas for the software from the iPhone. That led to a series of court battles over allegations of patent infringement, including a high-profile trial last year that culminated in Apple winning hundreds of millions in damages from Samsung Electronics, the top seller of Android phones. That dispute is still embroiled in appeals.
The rise of Android also is squeezing Apple's profit margins and has contributed to a nearly 40 percent drop in the company's stock price since it peaked at $705.07 last September around the time that the iPhone 5 came out.
Android's popularity is good news for Google because the company's services are built into most versions of the operating system. That brings more traffic to Google services, creating more opportunities for the company to sell ads -- the main source of Google's revenue.
Siri is billed by Apple as an "intelligent feature." Since the technology's release in October 2011, Apple has made it a centerpiece of some marketing campaigns that depict Siri and its automated female voice as an endearing and occasionally even pithy companion.
Google believes its Siri counterpart is smarter because Google Now is designed to learn about a user's preferences and then provide helpful information before it's even asked to do so. The technology draws upon information that Google gleans from search requests other interactions with the company's other services. Knowing a person's location also helps Google Now serve up helpful information without being asked.
