Headley to have knee surgery
--Headley was involved in one of the season's stranger plays. With Pablo Sandoval on second and two out in the Giants first, Hector Sanchez rolled a grounder up the foul line. As Sandoval raced for third, the ball stayed fair and rolled into Headley's glove at the third base bag as Sandoval slid into the glove for the out. "I thought it was going foul," said Headley. "(Third base umpire) Rob Drake said he had never witnessed a play like that before."
--Alonso appeared Saturday for the first time this month. Alonso pinch-ran for Will Venable in the ninth inning and slid home to score the first of four Padres runs in the inning. "It was great to be back out there," said Alonso, who hadn't played since Aug. 30 due to a hand injury.
--Chris Denorfia's game-opening homer was his 10th of the season, but his first against a right-handed pitcher (Yusmeiro Petit). It was also his second game-opening homer of the season and the seventh of his career.

Letters: North County, Dec. 18, 2012
T. Robert Huntley
A different look at mortgage interest tax deductions
A recent article in the U-T San Diego-North County Times indicates the mortgage-interest deduction costs the government $90-100 billion a year ("Time-honored tax break may end for homeowners," Dec. 8). In truth, it costs homeowners that amount.
Elimination of the deduction is not a cost to the government because they only spend our money. Who do you trust to wisely spend that money — you and your family or Congress?
Pat McDuffie
No one above the law
Connie Frankowiak ("Laws should apply to everyone," Dec. 12) is right: the law is for everyone — including Barack Obama and Eric Holder.
Obama should be charged with war crimes for his aiding terrorists by dropping a billion dollars worth of bombs on Libya and helping bloodthirsty rebels drag out and murder a crazy dictator.
Muammar Gaddafi was not a threat to the United States. Obama did not follow the law by first asking Congress or informing the American people before attacking Libya. How many innocent Libyans were killed? We will never know.
Eric Holder may not have been directly involved with Fast and Furious (allowing Mexican criminals to buy guns and smuggle them to Mexico), but he should be charged with conspiracy for allowing that criminal behavior to continue and covering it up.
Connie is right about a couple of things. The federal court system has refused to up hold the Constitution or the rule of law. Also, the laws apply to everyone. Before pointing fingers, remember the Democrats are not as right as some people think.
Mike De Leo
Seriously straining credulity
In response to "National adoration has shifted to government worship," Dec. 13, by Murel Fisk: The claims in this letter seriously strain credulity.
Obama's a Muslim? He's also a communist? How do we know? Because his Christian pastor, Reverend Wright, said so. Of course! Come on, now. True or not, I suppose one can claim that Obama is a Muslim, that he's a communist and that he is of questionable character because he attended Rev. Wright's church.
But the already-flimsy arguments become complete nonsense when he cites Obama's Christian pastor in the same breath that he implies he is a Muslim. But hey, why let logic get in the way?

A privilege to serve those who have served country
In response to George Pichel's Dec. 6 letter, "We need hospice care," Mr. Pichel is correct: Our community needs to care for our aging veterans.
Currently, one out of four dying Americans is a veteran. It's the mission of America's hospices to serve veterans when they face the challenges of a serious illness.
The "We Honor Veterans Program," a collaboration of the Department of Veterans Affairs and National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, trains staff to acquire the necessary skills to fulfill our mission to serve these men and women with the dignity they deserve. The Elizabeth Hospice recognizes the unique needs of veterans and have trained all of our staff to support veterans during their end-of-life journey.

PSEi hits new highs but fizzles out
popular .
MANILA, Philippines–Local stocks skyrocketed to bring the main index to all-time highs but fizzled out at close on Monday as investors took advantage of lofty prices to lock up gains from the recent rally.
The main-share Philippine Stock Exchange index closed 44.70 points or 0.62 percent weaker at 7,170.65, wiping out gains after a strong opening.
Early in the session, the index hit a new record high of 7,284.34, tracking upbeat trading Wall Street. The recent upgrade of Philippine sovereign credit to investment grade by Standard & Poor's, the second global credit watchdog to do so, also contributed to the early rally alongside expectations of further cuts in the special deposit accounts (SDAs) by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
It was reported on Monday that BSP Governor Amando Tetangco Jr. could not rule out further cuts in the SDAs after the 150-basis point cut already sanctioned so far this year.
Dealers said the market had digested most of the good news, particularly the S&P rating upgrade, and needed to pause for a correction.
All counters ended in the red. There were 78 advancers which were outnumbered by 95 decliners while 48 stocks were unchanged. Value turnover stood at P8.77 billion.

F4.1 Injuries and Illnesses in Nurses in Delhi-Joshi TK, Jugal Kishore, Sagar B, Singh B
Introduction: Occupational hazards in health care workers including nurses are well recognized, more so in developing countries due to inadequacy of health and safety programs.
Objectives: To study the frequency of injuries and illnesses in nursing care workers in a teaching hospital in Delhi.
Sample: A sample of 123 nurses out of 400 working in different health care facilities under Delhi Government.
Tools: Each subject filled up a Pre-tested Self Reporting Questionnaire after giving an informed oral consent.
Variables: Number of injuries occurring in last one week, abuse and violence at workplace, illness status, vaccination, use of PPE, and general socio-demographic data was collected.
Analysis: Data was analysed using WHO software package Epi-Info. Appropriate statistical tests were applied.
Result: There were 4016.2 needle prick injuries per 100 nurses years. Most injuries occurred in operation theatre and medical ward. Nearly 10% reported workplace abuse and violence. Low back pain was reported in 33.3%, sprain in 6% and burns in 1.6% of nurses. The range of illnesses reported was varied and a total of 36.6% were on medication. The contact with blood infected with HIV was 17.4%, and with Hepatitis B 27.0%. Such contact was more frequent in operation theatre, burn and medical wards. Majority (80%) reported the availability of gloves. However, only 47.8% reported using them always. 54.5% were vaccinated against hepatitis B. 22% reported glove allergy presenting as itchy skin (84%). Use of tobacco products and alcohol was not reported.
Conclusion: Injuries and illnesses were frequent in nursing care workers. Immunization and use of protective equipment was not universal despite availability. There is an urgent need for health surveillance and well-designed training program to prevent injuries and illnesses in Delhi.
F4.2 Sharps-Related Injuries in California Healthcare Facilities: Preliminary Results From the Sharps Injury Registry-Gillen M, Davis M, Lewis J, McNary J, Boyd A, Curran C, Cone J
Background: Senate Bill 2005 (Thompson) mandated that the California Department of Health Services (CDHS) collect information on sharps-related injuries from healthcare facilities, on a voluntary basis. Under contract with the University of California, San Francisco, a Sharps Injury Registry was created. The aims of the registry are 1) to collect statewide data on sharps injuries; 2) to disseminate this information in aggregate form; and 3) to assist healthcare workers and facilities in making informed decisions to better protect care providers from sharps injuries and life-threatening illnesses.
Methods: A letter inviting participation in the registry was sent to California hospitals, home health agencies, and skilled nursing facilities (n = 2,654) along with a sample sharps injury log. Data was accepted in all formats, including hand-written, electronic, and summary reports.
Analysis: As of 12/31/99, reports of approximately 2,000 sharps injuries from 213 facilities have been received. Data has been collected on the following variables: type of facility, date/time of injury, sex, age, job classification, department, procedure being performed by the original user of the sharp (e.g., injection), procedure being performed by a non-original user of the sharp, when indicated (e.g., cleaning room), circumstances surrounding the injury, body part, type of device, activation of safety mechanism, when appropriate, and the employee's opinion regarding safety equipment use and work practice controls. (Note: Data is currently being reviewed by the CDHS and will be released in the near future.)
Conclusions: Despite the voluntary nature of this project, these findings represent an attempt to collect sharps injury data on a statewide basis. Accepting non-standardized data makes interpretation of the results more complex. However, they may enable employers to make informed choices on work practices they foster and the devices they use to minimize the risk of sharp-related injuries to health care workers.
F4.3 Characterization of Needlestick Injuries and Development of Prevention Strategies-Frederick LJ, Williams JM
It is estimated that 590,000 needlestick injuries (NSI) occur among healthcare workers each year. Although the standard has been in effect since 1992, NSI continue to be a major problem among healthcare workers. In spite of education programs and the greater availability of engineering controls, recapping of needles continues and safer needles and needleless systems, when instituted, are not always accepted. Needles continue to be left in inappropriate places or improperly disposed of in regular trash where downstream workers can get injured. Requirements of the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard include reporting of NSI, however, many go unreported and fewer than 10% are recorded on the OSHA 200 log.
This study examined the characteristics surrounding NSI among a group of healthcare workers in a 380-bed tertiary hospital over a two-year period. A list of injured employees was generated from an Emergency Department database using International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes. The following information about each injury was obtained from medical records: work activity at time of injury, where injury occurred in the institution, type of device used and job classification. A literature review was conducted to identify available NSI controls. Eighty-six incidents were identified and descriptively analyzed. The most common work activities (65%) were procedural (e.g., starting or discontinuing intravenous therapy equipment) followed by disposal-related activities (22%). The most common procedure involved manipulation of IV therapy equipment; five percent involved recapping. By analyzing the injury data from this study and the information from the literature review, risk factors and prevention strategies for NSI were identified and categorized using an injury analysis model known as Haddon's Matrix. The findings of this study can be useful in developing prevention programs aimed at reducing the risk of NSI in healthcare facilities.
F4.4 Does Occupational Exposure Account for Excess Injury Risk: Serious Eye Injuries in the U.S. Army-Smith GS, Lincoln AE, Wong TY, Amoroso PJ, Vinger PF, Bell NS
Purpose: To determine if occupational exposure explains demographic variations (age, sex and race) in ocular trauma among U.S. Army soldiers.
Methods: The study population consisted of all U.S. Army personnel on active duty between 1980-1997. Hospitalization and personnel data were provided by the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database. Serious occupational eye injuries were defined as any injury or foreign body affecting the eye or adnexa requiring hospitalization that occurred while on duty. Rates of ocular trauma were calculated for both broad occupational groups and selected specific jobs. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the independent effect of broad and specific occupation on the risk of ocular trauma.
Results: The overall rate for on-duty hospitalized eye injuries for all persons in the military was 27.5 per 100,000 person-years (PY), though it varied widely by occupation. Men had 3.2 times the risk of women (95% CI: 2.7, 3.8), which was reduced to 2.3 after adjusting for broad occupational group, and 2.0 after adjusting for specific job. Whites experienced significantly higher rates than blacks (Incident rate ratio (IRR) = 1.3, 95% CI: 1.2, 1.4) and the excess changed little after adjustment for occupational exposure. Crude age-specific rates consistently rose from the oldest group (41+ years) to the youngest group (17-20 years old) (IRR=6.7, 95% CI: 5.0, 9.2). For some specific jobs, age was directly related to increased risk but demonstrated an inverse risk for others, suggesting an age-job interaction.
Conclusion: Most studies have found that demographic differences in injury rates are much reduced when occupational exposure is accounted for. However, using occupation to control for exposure, we found that young, white men in the U.S. Army maintained the highest risk of work-related ocular trauma, even when performing work activities very similar to those of other demographic strata.

More apples to weed whackers comparisons with noting isolated islands versus hugh land mass with hundreds of thousands of miles of walk in border. What part of "It's easier to control anything on an island" do these people just not get?
As for the islands that have a lot of violence, it is due to many different cultural, governmental and economic variances.
How about a percentage of violent crimes against non-criminal citizens when gun control is in effect? With gun control, less of the bad guys can be shot.
or you can go with the incidences that WERE reported to police, and now your defensive gun use is only around 100K-150K per year. So the liberals can sit back and say "<scoff> your lying, the hard facts are right here"
It's crap shoot with the anti-gun crowd. You can bury them in facts, which they ignore or they pick and choose the stats that help there agenda?
This is why I'll be watching from the side lines for awhile. Ignorance I can fix, You can't fix stupid.
Isn't the simple solution to have all of the gun grabbers go move to a city and pass their laws and leave the rest of us alone? Seems like a simple enough compromise to me. They can have Chicago since it's already as close to gun free zone (well legally owned ones anyway). I don't have much use for Californication either so they can take their pick down there too.
Seems fair to me. They can all huddle together and protect each other. The rest of us will carry on with life.
If people want guns they will get them?
No guns in the homes mean more home invasions?
No CCW leads to more crime?
The black market is unstoppable?
If someone wants to kill dozens of elementary school kids they will just use a pencil or a pocket knife?
Are you saying that Hawaii doesnt have a black market trade of any kind?
Are you saying they have a better criminal justice system?
Do they have more insane asylums?
Why aren't their criminals just using some other weapon?
Your response says two things:
An abolishment of guns does lead to a lower crime rate.
If Hawaii does indeed have a lower crime rate youd rather criticize them rather than use them as a model solution for our shootings.
It would be nice if you guys stopped using the broad term gun control. If you mean CCW, say CCW. If you are inferring that we are about to lose our right to have any type of gun in our home for self defense, say that. But I dont see that being a possibility.
"Gun control" is such a broad term it is nearly meaningless. It's like asking are you for or against air pollution.
And no it was not a comparison, it was referring to a place the gun grabbers can have. That would make you 0 for 2 in your effort to comprehend, thus my reluctance to attempt to answer your request.

Basically the 6 step process gives you more control than the 3 step in that with the latter--certain steps are consolidated for simplicity. Almost all of the corrective actions in E6 apply to the replenished 6 step process. With one-shot 6 step E6--you can do some slight corrections mostly with pH and specific gravity that might be needed for certain types of processing such as continuous rotary tube agitation etc. The 3 step kits might be the easiest overall to use, but they would offer the least amount of control.Originally Posted by Jan Brittenson
As for longevity? When most of the manufacturers ditched the formaldehyde based stabilizers---they went over to a Final Rinse that is very much like a wetting agent more or less. In the "new" Kodak E6--the stabilization part takes place in the Pre-Bleach and is triggered by carryover color developer. In some types of reversal processing--old Kodak E6, Fuji CR56 (unless it's been changed??)--they still use a stabilizer, and there's a wash in between CD and Conditioner (which has been eliminated from the current Kodak E6)...so--this is probably overly confusing, but there *are* differences.
As for the color biasing of Kodak & Fuji? You *should* be able to run any type of chrome film together, just as you *should* be able to use the same First Developer time. The point of E6 is to try for a standard process--although this is a moot point if you only process one type of film for yourself. Personally I would suggest trying to do a standard process as best you can & try to make it as routine as possible--i.e. the same way every time.
Where I work, we process mostly Fuji with some Kodak--and use a std. First dev. time based off control strips using one-shot Kodak 6 step E6. I've read the claim by Jobo that Fuji needs extra time--and this makes no sense whatsoever to me--because you should adjust the film speed accordingly back against a standard process. The Fuji version of the Kodak Q Lab is called an Oasis lab. The Oasis labs use Kodak made control strips in Fuji CR56 chemistry. My point is--it doesn't matter what film you run--the process is the same.
HOWEVER---Fuji films will shift on agreen-magenta bias depending on Color Dev pH and Kodak will run yellow-blue. you can adjust the pH by adding either sulfuric acid or sodium hydroxide to the CD in small amounts to correct. As was mentioned above--water quality is a big factor, but if you mix & store your E6, be aware that CD pH can drift as it sits--it usually becomes more acidic.
hope this helps--

Newton native Julius Frances Abernethy Huitt, who set a local record for women in previously male achievements before she and her husband moved to Hawaii more than half a century ago, has died in her adopted state.
The Newton Fire Department responded to a reported house fire Wednesday night but found something a little different.
Initial reports at 9:09 p.m. to 911 were from one of the occupants that said the house was on fire and that everyone was attempting to get out, according to fire officials.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/17/14
Shane Lowry got into the Match Play Championship by the slimmest of margins, all because of a birdie putt thousands of miles away from his home in Ireland. Patrick Reed holed a 12-foot birdie putt on the last hole Sunday at Pebble Beach for a two-way tie for seventh with Fredrik Jacobson. That meant Jacobson moved up only to No. 66 by 0.0002 points behind Lowry. Sunday was the final day to qualify for the 64-man field on Feb. 20-24 in Arizona. The top 65 are eligible because Phil Mickelson has said he would not be playing. Richard Sterne qualified earlier Sunday by winning the Joburg Open in South Africa, going from No. 94 to No. 55. The seeds will not be determined until after next week's tournaments.

Irish Coffee: Why does LeBron James do stuff like this?
|04.11.13 at 2:29 pm ET
Just when you're thinking, "Hey, maybe LeBron James isn't so bad after all," he goes and pulls a stunt like this. Of all the weird stuff he's done in the past, this might be the strangest. Guess he isn't the total package after all.
Somebody call 911. The weight room just got murdered! Lol. Off day training. #strivingforgreatness'¦ instagram.com/p/X-U9KECTKf/
— LeBron James (@KingJames) April 11, 2013
Dude, you're the best basketball player on the planet. We get it. You won the NBA title, and you're probably going to win it again. Same goes for the MVP. But that doesn't mean we want to see you in your spandex. Twice. By the way, was he really working out like that, or did he strip down to take the picture of himself? No wonder none of his teammates are in the gym working out with him. Seriously, I would've thought this was a joke if it wasn't LeBron.
By the way, when's the last time you saw Garnett tweeting a picture of himself working out? Over his dead body. I don't know how he and Pierce let Doc talk them into not playing against this weirdo Friday night.

In recent genetic association studies, common variants including rs12917707 in the UMOD locus have shown strong evidence of association with eGFR, prevalent and incident chronic kidney disease and uromodulin urinary concentration in general population cohorts. The association of rs12917707 with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in a recent case-control study was only nominally significant.
To investigate whether rs12917707 associates with ESRD, graft failure (GF) and urinary uromodulin levels in an independent cohort, we genotyped 1142 ESRD patients receiving a renal transplantation and 1184 kidney donors as controls. After transplantation, 1066 renal transplant recipients were followed up for GF. Urinary uromodulin concentration was measured at median [IQR] 4.2 [2.2-6.1] yrs after kidney transplantation.
The rs12917707 minor allele showed association with lower risk of ESRD (OR 0.89 [0.76-1.03], p = 0.04) consistent in effect size and direction with the previous report (Böger et al, PLoS Genet 2011). Meta-analysis of these findings showed significant association of rs12917707 with ESRD (OR 0.91 [0.85-98], p = 0.008). In contrast, rs12917707 was not associated with incidence of GF. Urinary uromodulin concentration was lower in recipients-carriers of the donor rs12917707 minor allele as compared to non-carriers, again consistent with previous observations in general population cohorts.
Our study thus corroborates earlier evidence and independently confirms the association between UMOD and ESRD.

- Extended description
5,000 members of the force called in sick on a day that will be remembered as 'the blue flu'. 68% of the force in Dublin and as much as 100% in other parts of the country didn't show up for work. As Gardaí are not permitted to strike, they were expressing their dissatisfaction with pay by calling in sick in the first work stoppage in the history of the Garda Síochána.
Paul Reynolds reports for RTÉ News on 1 May 1998. As part of a contingency plan, the army is on standby, some stations are closed and some court sittings cancelled. Garda Headquarters says that it sympathises with its members, but is disappointed by the level of support for the protest.

Latest M81 Group Stories
Shockwaves originating from the central starburst region of galaxy Messier 82 are most likely the source of bright clouds within a "cap" of gas clouds located some 40,000 light years away, astronomers have discovered.
NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer has captured a new view of two companion galaxies -- a somewhat tranquil spiral beauty and its rambunctious partner blazing with smoky star formation.
A new Chandra X-ray Observatory image of Messier 82, or M82, shows the result of star formation on overdrive.
ESA's space-borne X-ray observatory, XMM-Newton, has carried out an exclusive observation of the galaxy Messier 82, for the '100 Hours of Astronomy' cornerstone project for the International Year of Astronomy 2009.
The biggest black holes may feed just like the smallest ones, according to data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ground-based telescopes.
The sharpest image ever taken of the large "grand design" spiral galaxy M81 is being released today at the American Astronomical Society Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii.
NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer is celebrating its fourth year in space with some of M81's "hottest" stars.
To celebrate the Hubble Space Telescope's 16 years of success, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA), are releasing this image of the magnificent starburst galaxy, Messier 82 (M82).
Where there's smoke, there's fire - even in outer space. A new infrared image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows a burning hot galaxy whose fiery stars appear to be blowing out giant billows of smoky dust.
Latest M81 Group Reference Libraries
The M81 Group, containing the well known galaxies Messier 81 and Messier 82, is a group of galaxies within the constellation Ursa Major. Along with Messier 81 and 82 are several other galaxies with apparent brightness. The center, located at an approximate distance of 3.6 Mpc, is one of the nearest groups to the Local Group. The total estimated mass of the group is (1.03 ± 0.17) × 1012M☉. The Virgo Supercluster contains the M81 Group, the Local Group, and some other nearby...

Miranda is convinced by a friend that a swingers party is the best way to save her marriage.
It started with another one of our fights. Marc and I just seemed to be bickering a lot lately and this one has pushed me to the edge. I decided to spend the night at Lindsay's apartment to give myself a little breathing room and cool down. I don't know why this one seemed worse than the others but it was probably just an accumulation of frustration. "Linds, I don't know what to do. It's...Read On

Maharashtra government to give preference to tribal and rural women's groups
In a boost to women's empowerment, the Maharashtra government will now give preference to tribal and rural women's self help groups (SHGs) in handing over forest conservation projects. They will also be given preference in opening micro and small industries based on local forest produce.
According to a Special Action Programme formed for the coming five years (2010-11 to 2014-15), the government will build the capacity of 25,000 SHGs in 12,500 villages. The purpose is to increase the SHGs' participation substantially in expanding the State's forest reserves at a faster rate.
However, there is no special fund allocation for the programme — expenses will be met from the total budgetary provisions made for the department.
At present, there are 15,500 village settlements near the forest areas of Maharashtra. According to the Integrated Forest Management Programme, 12,600 villages have formed Integrated Forest Management Committees. Of the 26 lakh members/beneficiaries of the programme, 6.5 lakh are women.
The State Revenue and Forest department now wants to rope in more women because it feels that their active participation will lead to better conservation of the forest areas. The SHGs will be given preference for projects such as afforestation, water and soil conservation, nursery distribution, prohibition of forest fires, and protection of nurseries.
The SHGs will have to first register themselves with the Integrated Forest Management Committee of that village. They can also sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the committee for undertaking parts of a project that they are competent in handling. The groups will be given priority based on their capacity and prior experience.
Payment will be credited to the SHG's bank account in three equal instalments — the first will be given after the committee gives the Work Order to the SHG; the second after satisfactory completion of 50 per cent work; and full and satisfactory completion of work will make the SHG eligible to receive the third instalment. There is also a provision for allocating proportionate overhead costs.
Keywords: SHG, afforestation, Forest Management

PORTLAND -- A program that thousands of local children have relied on for years announced Tuesday night it was just days away from closing its doors.
Police sent out a press release saying the Greater Portland Police Activities League would close by Friday if the program cannot come up with emergency funding.
The closure will include the office at the Portland Police Bureau's north precinct and the center in Gresham.
PAL has provided activities for kids for decades, including youth football, soccer and arts and crafts. The program also serves breakfast and lunch to between 80 and 100 children daily.
Limited information was released about the closure, including why it happened so suddenly. It took the kids by surprise.
It really hurts that it has to close at 6:00 on Friday, and I just didn't know, said 10-year-old Damian Johnson
Program director Joseph Johnson was also surprised by the decision.
Where else can they go? What can they do? Johnson asked. We love to take care of these kids, man.
PAL s board chairman Mark McGinnis declined to comment Tuesday, but planned to release a statement Wednesday.
The prepared statement from the police bureau had no explanation from executive director Patricia Day TenEyck about the reason for the program's demise.
The Beaverton PAL center will remain open.

Sprint, AT&T selling iPad mini with fast LTE cellular service
Nov 16, 2012 (Los Angeles Times - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Sprint and AT&T have announced they will begin selling the iPad mini with high-speed LTE cellular service at its retail stores.
Alongside AT&T and Sprint, Verizon and Apple Stores are also expected to begin selling the LTE-enabled tablet at their stores Friday.
Apple announced the iPad mini with LTE late last month, but the Cupertino, Calif., company had not given out a firm release date despite the Wi-Fi-only iPad mini launching two weeks ago.
Quiz: The week in business The Apple device is capable of connecting to LTE networks, which offer the fastest Internet speeds on cellular connections. The iPad mini with LTE is also capable of connecting to other networks that are not as fast as LTE, such as 4G.
Over the past weeks, reports have been going around the Web that say various retailers, including Best Buy, have been receiving stock of the iPad mini with LTE. Some customers who pre-ordered the tablet have also said their units have arrived.
Of course, if you don't want to go in person to purchase your tablet, Apple and others sell the iPad mini with LTE online. However, Apple lists the device as having a two-week wait time before shipping.
The iPad mini with LTE starts at $459 for a 16-GB model and is also available for $559 for a 32-GB model and $659 for a 64-GB model.
Besides the iPad mini with LTE, Sprint and AT&T also announced they are now selling the fourth-generation iPad with LTE.
The iPad 4 has an improved front-facing camera, includes Apple's Lightning connector dock and is supposed to have a processor that is far more powerful than its predecessor's. It starts at $629 for an LTE 16-GB model.

Hitachi CM752 Monitor Review
By: Mike Chambers - April 13, 1999
Choosing A Monitor
Choosing a monitor is probably the hardest decision to make when purchasing a new PC.  It is the presentation layer of your PC and will typically last through a couple of upgrade cycles.  Unless you can actually see a monitor in person, most of the information necessary to purchase a monitor is based on monitor reviews or user experience.  Even seeing a monitor in person may not be good enough in that the monitor may not be using the video card that's included in your system.
Early on during my 3 month evaluation of monitors, I asked Sam Goldwasser, who is an electrical engineer and maintains a
Electronics Repair Site
, for some advice on monitors.  Based on his experience with repairing monitors, Sam recommended either a Hitachi or Sony.  Sam also frequently posts messages at the Hardware Video newsgroup which is a good place to get user advice on monitors.  Almost every brand of 19-inch monitor uses a Hitachi tube and the first time I saw this monitor on display at CompUSA I was impressed.  Judging monitors is ultimately a matter of personal taste and after seeing the Sony GDM-400PS in action, I still preferred the
Checking Out A Monitor
Afer a number of visits to various computer retailers, I had the opportunity to see the 19-inch Hitachi 752 and Viper V550 in action at a local CompUSA.  I spent the better part of an hour fiddling with the monitors controls and checking the 2D output at various resolutions.  Although the controls are rather awkward, it didn't take too long to get the hang of them. I also had the chance to check the 3D performance by playing the special version of Motohead that is bundled with the Viper V550.  After leaving the store, I was convinced that this was the monitor I wanted.  I even went back for a second trip a few weeks later.
A couple of weeks before I ordered a new system, I checked out Circuit City which had the 19-inch Sony GDM-400PS on display and was powered by an ATI card.  The Sony was about $100 more expensive than the Hitachi 752 and both monitors had similar features.  The main difference was that the Sony has an aperture grille tube while the Hitachi has a shadow mask tube. I found images on the Sony to be somewhat brighter than the Hitachi, but the text was not as sharp. The display on the Sony was flatter which requires some getting used to.  I also noticed the two aperture grille wires that are present on the Sony (Trinitron tubes) which are especially noticeable on a light background.  Depending on your personal preferences, the wires may not be a distraction.
The other monitors I considered were the IIyama VisionMaster 450 and Princeton Graphics EO90. The IIyama VisionMaster 450 typically receives good reviews and user comments but I was unable to see the monitor in person. I was able to check out the Princeton Graphics EO90 at a local computer store and while the price was about $200 less than the Hitachi 752, it was an average monitor and the supported refresh rates were lower.
The Hitachi 752 In Action
First and foremost, moving from a 15-inch to a 19-inch monitor was an awesome experience.  It takes a bit of getting used to but running Windows at high resolutions and playing Quake and Half-Life at 1024x768 is nice and easy on the eyes.  Just be sure you have plenty of desk space for a 19-inch monitor!
When I first booted the new PC, the Viper V550 was initially set at a resolution of 800x600, 32-bit color, and a 75Hz refresh rate in Windows 98.  After testing various resolutions ranging from 800x600 to 1600x1200, I finally settled for 1152x864 in 32-bit color at a 100Hz refresh rate.  After a few adjustments, I was able to square the edges of the monitor, center the screen, and save the settings for this resolution.  I saw no geometry or convergence problems with the monitor.
I set the brightness indicator to 40% and the contrast to 90%.  The percentages are approximations since the controls do not include a percent readout, but only a horizontal adjustment line.  I also had to enable the horizontal moire adjustment and moved the indicator to about 33% to eliminate the moire patterns.
I found that a resolution of 1600x1200 to be extremely too small, even with large fonts, on a 19-inch monitor plus the fact that the Viper V550 can only pump out a 75MHz refresh rate at this resolution.  At 1280x1024 the refresh rate was 85Hz, which was acceptable, but I felt the text was still to small.  Large fonts looked somewhat better at 1280x1024, but I still preferred 1152x864 using a normal font and the higher 100MHz refresh rate.
The montior displays the refresh rate for a few seconds after changing resolutions and also emits a clicking sound.  Many monitors today have the option for a BNC connection which is missing from the Hitachi 19-inch models.  That was only a minor drawback since the Viper V550 functions as both a 2D and 3D graphics accelerator and doesn't require a pass-thru cable.

Final Note
When I received my new PC, the monitor came in it's original box, was covered in plastic and secured inside.  There were quite a few dings on the outside of the box and even a couple that penetrated the box.  As reported in my GamePC
I eventually had to return it.  This monitor was shipped from California to Virginia via UPS ground and I am convinced that it was damaged during the trip.  If I ever mail order another monitor, it will definitely be by air.  I received a replacement monitor in 3 days, at no cost to me, and this one is a keeper!
