The Rhône-Alpes region
Chamonix is the perfect holiday destination for any season! You'll be surprised at the size of this alpine mountain town and the amount it has to offer you. Chamonix sits at the foot of Mont Blanc in the heart of the French Alps, displaying glaciers and breathtaking views of the snow capped mountains all around.
The skiing in Chamonix has a reputation for steep unforgiving runs, and there is enough on-piste challenge to provide a work-out for even the most advanced skiers. There is also plenty of skiing for the intermediate skier, enormous off-piste potential and some of the best ski touring in the world.
Les Houches
The apartment is very close to the Bellevue ski lifts, os is perfect for families wanting to be within a short walk of the slopes. There is also supermarket nearly and plenty of restaurants & bars too.
Historic Chamonix is a cosmopolitan town full of life and incredible scenery. In addition to the Ski season for which it is famous, there are hundreds of shops, countless restaurants, bars, clubs and a casino. There is also the sports centre with indoor and outdoor pools, ice rink, rock climbing, paragliding, water rafting, mountain bike trails and an 18 hole golf course. There's always plenty to do for the children too. Chamonix also has a the highest cable car in Europe to take you to the top of Mont Blanc and the Montenvers train to visit the Sea of Ice glacier and ice grotto. Plus cinema, Alpine Museum and a local market on Saturday morning - selling a wide range of local produce.
With a huge range of on and off mountain activities, there is something for everyone throughout the year. Chamonix is a place you'll want to come back to time and time again!

"Excellent apartment, well managed by 'Chamonix All Year'."
This excellent apartment, booked through and managed by 'Chamonix All Year', is in a convenient, central position in Les Houches. We were picked up from Geneva airport on time by a driver from 'Chamonix All Year', as arranged, and was met by a rep on arrival in Les Houches. We found this good-size apartment very clean and tidy, and it has all that's needed for a comfortable stay. There are very good views of the valley and the Massif from the large balcony, slightly obscured by tree tops (if not checked these could become a nuisance in the future). It would be difficult to find fault with the apartment, the booking process or how the rental was managed. There is a free pass for travel along the entire Arve valley making travel to and from Chamonix easy (the bus stop is 2 minutes away) and free. A car is not required. This apartment is suitable for a mixed party of up to six people. There is satellite TV and DVD player, but no separate radio/CD.

Putting together SummerFest programs can be like pulling teeth
The ever-effusive Manny replied: "Thanks so much for inviting me. What would you like me to play?"
"Manny, you have carte blanche. Play anything you like."
"Really? OK, let me think about this. Can I get back to you?"
"Sure, this year or next?"
"Can I play something with you?"
"Maybe, but I will have a lot to do that week. How about Chee-Yun? She is a lot better looking than I am."
"Well, in that case, how about the Trout Quintet with Chee-Yun?"
"Great, that is half of the program. Anything else?"
"Let me think … Schubert's Trout … How about more Schubert? Do you like the four Impromptu D 935?"
"I love them. My favorite piano works. Great. Oh, and your buddy Yossi Kalichstein will be there too. Want to play something with him?"
"How nice! Maybe we can do the Rondo in D major?"
"I don't know the work, but is it for one piano/four hands or for two pianos? I know our production department will want to know."
"It's for four hands so only one piano is needed"
"Whew! That's good. OK, let's do this. This sounds like a full program. What do you think?"
"I can always do more if you want me to."
"Maybe that is enough for now. Fine, let's plan on this. Thanks, Manny. Are you sure about this?"
"Well, I think so."
"I guess so."
Well, no changes from Manny. And we have a fantastic all-Schubert program on Aug. 11. I so look forward to welcoming this great pianist and all the wonderful musicians to La Jolla!
SummerFest music director Cho-Liang Lin will be writing a diary for the Union-Tribune over the next four weeks.

Obama's Afghanistan strategy and the right to be wrong
- By Peter Feaver
Because of a day in air travel purgatory, I have been unable to comment on President Barack Obama's Afghanistan decision and his rare prime-time address on war. With the "benefit" of an additional day of musing and reading other people's commentary, I have three somewhat contradictory takes. First, it seems clear that he is putting the country on an extraordinarily risky course, one that could jeopardize much of the gains achieved by his West Point surge. Second, he has not presented to the country a sound strategic rationale for why he is doing it this way, leaving the obvious alternative — that this decision was driven by his electoral interests rather than the best national security interests of the country — a more plausible explanation than it should otherwise be. But third, at least from the parochial perspective of civil-military relations theory, Obama is within his rights to make the decision in the way that he did, and so far, the senior military have behaved in an exemplary fashion.
The first point has been made well by my Shadow Gov colleague, Kori Schake. As was the case with his West Point surge, the president has hobbled the kinetic leg of his strategy with the self-inflicted diplomatic/political wound of signaling lack of resolve. As a result, not only will the coalition have fewer forces than the generals believe they require to implement the overall strategy effectively — probably much fewer, as our allies respond to the dog whistle "retreat" sounding from the president's decision and accelerate their rush to the exits — but those forces will be facing an enemy that has good reason to believe that time is on its side. The military brass report that the new course just might work, but it will be a very close run thing.
The second point has also been made by others. Since the military logic of the move is so weak, one naturally looks for some other explanation, such as a political angle. The president's decision to interrupt next summer's fighting season makes no military sense whatsoever; better to let the troops finish the fighting season and come home in the late fall or winter. But that would be after the election. So far as I have been able to determine, that is the only explanation of the timeline that makes sense, but I am open to hearing a convincing counterargument. I am very reluctant to charge a president with elevating domestic political interests over national security ones because I remember how unfairly Democrats made that charge against President George W. Bush — and that was on a much more flimsy evidentiary basis. Yet, when I look for a more compelling alternative explanation, I can't find one. Certainly not in the speech, which, as Dov Zakheim pointed out, was strategically incoherent. Given how rarely he has spoken about Afghanistan, it is unfortunate that he squandered this rhetorical moment.
Yet there is one aspect of the decision that is legitimate and one that may even warrant praise. The legitimate aspect is that, notwithstanding a torrent of leaks, the decision-making process seems to have conformed more or less to democratic civil-military norms. The military presented a range of options, including options that it did not want to execute; it would have been inappropriate of Gen. David Petraeus to tie Obama's hands by only providing a narrow range of options, minor variants of the military's preferred plan. He didn't do so; instead, he and the rest of the military leadership have saluted and are obeying, and such professionalism is very definitely worthy of praise. To be sure, the military gave its best personal judgment as to the risks inherent in those plans. Obama was fully aware of the military's judgment, and the public, through Congress, is also aware of that judgment. But it is the president's job to balance the risks of battlefield failure against other risks. The military gets to say this is a high-risk plan. The president gets to say that he will accept this risk and impose it on them.
Accept it and impose it he did. That has important political consequences. Before, one could say that he merely chose General Stanley McChrystal and General Petraeus's strategy. Now it is unmistakably President Obama's strategy. It is his war. But he will be ordering others to fight his war, which brings me to one bit of unfinished civil-military business.
While the media attention has been focused on the troops that are leaving Afghanistan in the coming months, I have been thinking of the troops that will remain. They are locked in the fight of their lives, and they (or at least their commanders) probably paid more attention to the president's speech than did most other Americans. Did the president give them a convincing rationale for continuing to risk their lives? Did he convince them that the stakes were worth it, that the prospects for lasting success good enough? Do they believe that their commander in chief is as committed to the war effort as he is asking them to be? Only when those answers are answered satisfactorily will Obama have fulfilled the dictates of democratic civil-military theory.
Even then, however, he still may be wrong on the strategic aspects of his decision. From a civil-military perspective, the president has the right to be wrong. He might well be wrong this time, and if so, that may be evident to all by next fall. In that case, democratic theory points to the duty of others: the voters.

In recent months, we've seen AMD and NVIDIA go back and forth with releases that are designed to one-up the other at the respective price-point, and with AMD's Radeon HD 6790, it doesn't look like this game will end anytime soon. Set to compete against the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, the HD 6790 launches with the same MSRP of $149.
One of the more popular Internet memes for the past couple of years has been, "Can it run Crysis?", but as soon as Metro 2033 launched, that's a meme that should have died. Metro 2033 is without question one of the beefiest games on the market, and though it supports DirectX 11, it's almost a feature worth ignoring, because the extent you'll need to go to in order to see playable framerates isn't likely going to be worth it.
Manual Run-through: The level we use for testing is part of chapter 4, called "Child", where we must follow a linear path through multiple corridors until we reach our end point, which takes a total of about 90 seconds. Please note that due to the reason mentioned above, we test this game in DX10 mode, as DX11 simply isn't that realistic from a performance standpoint.
The results here are without question the most interesting we've seen so far in this article. Here, the HD 6790 literally soars past the HD 5770, which can be attributed to the fact that AMD has tweaked its driver to deliver better performance with this particular title. Thanks to its overall performance, the GTX 550 Ti is once again left in the relative dust (to be fair to NVIDIA, this game does favor AMD's cards, for whatever reason).

US welcomes 2006 from New York to New Orleans
By Chris Michaud
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Huge crowds braved tight security and
cold, rainy weather to usher in New Year's on Sunday in
celebrations at New York's Times Square marked by the return of
veteran television host Dick Clark.
The arrival of 2006 was also cheered in New Orleans, the
historic Gulf Coast city devastated by Hurricane Katrina last
August. Thousands of revelers packed the French Quarter to
listen to music by Arlo Guthrie and bid good riddance to a year
the city was not likely to forget.
Clark, battling back from a stroke that forced him to miss
last year's show, returned to his longtime perch as host of his
live "New Year's Rockin' Eve" show, which he started in 1972.
"It's real good to be back with you again this year,"
Clark, 76, once known for his perpetually youthful appearance,
said in a halting, slightly hoarse voice as he came on the ABC
program about 11:35 p.m.
"Last year I had a stroke. It left me in bad shape. I had
to teach myself how to walk and talk all over again. It was a
long hard fight. My speech is not perfect but I'm getting
there," said Clark.
He added after the giant crystal ball dropped at the stroke
of midnight to usher in 2006: "There's nothing like being in
Times Square on New Year's Eve. Believe me, this is one night I
will never, ever forget."
Clark, who rose to fame as host of the long-running
"American Bandstand" show, had been out of the public eye since
falling ill in December 2004.
Police had said they expected about 1 million people to
attend the 101st New Year's celebration in Times Square.
Revelers came from across the United States and began arriving
on Saturday morning to stake out prime spots so they could
watch the ball lowered at midnight to ring in the new year.
"They said this wasn't gonna happen," New Orleans Mayor Ray
Nagin shouted to a cheering New Year's Eve throng at a concert
outside Jackson Square. "They said New Orleans was dead. But we
proved them wrong. New Orleans is alive and well."
The first New Year's celebration in the city since Katrina
ravaged the Gulf Coast was smaller than usual. Only about one
in four residents, by some counts, have returned to the
storm-wrecked city, and few tourists have ventured back.
The mood was jubilant as Nagin ticked off the final seconds
of 2005. At midnight, a replica of a gumbo pot decorated with
New Orleans symbols, including a bottle of hot sauce and a
French Quarter street sign, slid down a 25-foot (8-meter) pole
atop Jackson Brewery.
"I'm so excited about leaving 2005 behind, y'all just don't
know," Nagin said.
In New York, security was a main concern amid the festive
atmosphere, although Mayor Michael Bloomberg had said there
were no specific threats against the city.
Police officers led bomb-sniffing dogs throughout the party
zone, while biochemical hazard teams and decontamination
centers were on standby in case of attack. A mobile laboratory
was on hand to test the air for suspicious substances.
Metal detectors were used to check the revelers and large
bags and backpacks were banned from the area. Snipers were
deployed on rooftops, while helicopters circled the area and
police patrolled the city's waterways on boats.
The celebrants had to endure temperatures in the mid-30s F
(1-2 C), as well as rain and wet snow.
Bloomberg was among those welcoming back Clark to the
city's New Year's festivities.
"It just would not be New Year's Eve without Dick Clark,"
Bloomberg said on the ABC program moments before Clark's
introduction. "I know I speak for all New Yorkers and all
Americans — Dick, we love you."

Windows Defender + McAfee + AVG =
One big cluster of fail!
Working on a laptop someone wants me to fix... Probably going 10 minutes now on the hdd... On top of 3 avs installed (Not sure if any of them are actually up to date) it's running Vista home premium on 1GB of ram. Ouch is all I have to say. Mind you since it's a laptop with shared graphics I'm seeing 900MB of usable ram, and about 75 open processes. It's honestly a wonder how they ever even did anything on this laptop.
Re: Windows Defender + McAfee + AVG =
Ah, I remember working as a PC tech back in the day. You sometimes just want to confiscate the PC. Of course once you fix it they often complain and the time and cost. Even when they are family and you're doing it for free. ::(:
Re: Windows Defender + McAfee + AVG =
Re: Windows Defender + McAfee + AVG =
I can't believe they ever thought Vista would run well on 1GB of RAM. My mom got an e-machines PC a few years ago and they shipped it with 1GB of RAM and Vista. What a boat anchor. It finally picked up a little bit when we added another gig.
Vista was a terrible OS for the masses. Personally I always ran 4GB+ so I never really had issues (after SP1, remember how slow file copying/moving was before? LOLz). But what a resource hog that OS was.
Re: Windows Defender + McAfee + AVG =
I'm basically going to tell them they have to spend $50 on memory to get it up to 4GB. The actual install is still pretty clean on the pc, so once I got those off and turned off system restore, superfetch, readyboost, and windows search most of the disk thrashing stopped. It actually has a few MB free now after it settles in.
It is crazy that they shipped these things with 1GB of ram. I can understand them trying to hit a price point, but I was told they have never liked this laptop. They even asked me if Toshiba was a good brand because this laptop has been really poor. That's something that manufacturers need to take into consideration when putting out their products. You're going to lose sales if you put out a poor product, so even though the price point is cheap enough now in the long run people aren't going to be returning customers if they had a bad experience.
@Crainger: Thankfully most of my family isn't that way. This is for a friend and I told them to just buy me lunch one day but they said they were going to do even a bit more than that. The nice thing is I can just say you need memory and they will get it. What's really bad is when you are trying to make something work that just won't because they won't want to spend any money to fix it or it's too slow for what they are trying to do.
Re: Windows Defender + McAfee + AVG =
When people hand me computers like that, I usually insist upon formatting the damn thing. It takes long enough just to get their important files off, nevermind trying to remove sh*t one by one, only to still not have the problem fully resolved when you're done.
Re: Windows Defender + McAfee + AVG =
Re: Windows Defender + McAfee + AVG =
defender takes resources? looks like they just forgot to uninstall mcafee when their base subscription ran out, and installed a free program. An honest mistake I can see happening, atleast they cared about an up to date AV program.

Frame Shop Art Gallery and GiftsRead MoreAfter spending years designing kitchens and handcrafting cabinets, John Barlowe opened Frame Shop Art Gallery & Gifts to celebrate and showcase great household art. A member of the Professional Picture Framers Association, he's won awards for his custom-frame designs, which pair his meticulous woodworking skills with elements such as football skin to accent displayed pieces. As a premier partner of Larson-Juhl, he has access to thousands of ornate American hardwood borders and gilded moldings crafted with more than 100 years of company expertise. Each artwork or photograph squeezes between Tru Vue glass and Bainbridge mats and backboard, a sandwich framers can often complete in as little as 24 hours. In addition to displaying art, John and his team specialize in various photo services, from printing images to transforming ordinary snapshots into caricatures or watercolors with artistic photo treatments. They also prevent boxes of family photos from falling victim to age, disasters, and swamp monsters' thumbprints by digitizing large collections.7101 Orchard Centre DrHolland, OH US

The Haunted HydroRead MoreAfter 20 years of successfully frightening fear fans, The Haunted Hydro is back for another season of shudders with more than 50 actors, multiple attractions, and an ?Evil Inferno? theme. With a Monster Bash ticket, guests begin their journey by entering the 20-foot Tunnel of Terror leading to Hydro?s cursed chambers. Inside, realistically made-up monsters and mutants make screams scream in horror and force flesh to sprout goose feathers. Visitors can also venture into the brand-new Lair of Scare, a dark cavern of undeath where each turn is as futile as the one before it. A free paintball ticket gives brave citizens the chance to hunt the zombies that lurk in Paintball Alley, and a free soft drink soothes sore throats resulting from too much shrieking, screeching, and light- bulb eating.1333 Tiffin StreetFremont, OH US
Northwest Ohio Railroad PrsrtnRead MoreSince its founding in 1998, the Northwest Ohio Railroad Preservation, Inc. has been dedicated to preserving, and educating others about, the rich history of the railroad in Northwest Ohio.

The Tour publishes the results from each tournament in local newspapers, and players can chart the peaks and valleys of their careers on the Tour Members list, which compiles all of their tournament results. Along with providing an outlet for amateur golfers to exercise their long-suppressed competitive side, the Tour and its sponsors have raised $74,000 for various area charities since 2003.500 N Main StAnn Arbor, MI US

'Most Wanted' fugitive turns herself in
A woman wanted for failure to appear for trial on simple-assault charges has turned herself in, Erie County sheriff's deputies said.
Krystal E. Barton, 31, turned herself in at the Erie County Sheriff's Office on Monday, deputies said today. Her case was featured in the May 3 Erie Times-News Most Wanted.
Barton is the 572nd fugitive to be apprehended since the feature began in March 2004.

min D deficiency truly contributes to mental health in childhood deserves further study. Furthermore, limited exposure to light is related, in some individuals, to the occurrence of seasonal affective disorder. More brightly lit classrooms are associated with fewer classroom problems for children with ADHD (Kemper and Shannon, 2007).
This and the preceding chapter have documented substantial progress since the 1994 IOM report in approaches to prevention in multiple developmental stages. The strength of evidence related to prevention of symptoms and incidence of externalizing disorders and problem behaviors has significantly increased, particularly through school-based interventions. There is emerging evidence that preventive interventions not only can reduce symptomatology, but also can reduce the number of new cases of depression. And there is promising evidence of the potential to intervene in the lives of young people in the early stage of schizophrenia, prior to full-blown disorder.
Many programs that have been tested in multiple randomized controlled trials demonstrate efficacy, and an increasing number have demonstrated effectiveness in real-world environments. Increasing numbers of programs are culturally adapted and, while still relatively limited, some have been tested with multiple racial, ethnic, or cultural groups. It is no longer accurate to argue that emotional and behavioral problems cannot be prevented or that there is no evidence for the prevention of MEB disorders experienced during childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood.
Conclusion: Substantial progress has been realized since 1994 in demonstrating that evidence-based interventions that target risk and protective factors at various stages of development can prevent many problem behaviors and cases of MEB disorders.
Interventions variously target strengthening families by modifying discipline practices or parenting style; strengthening individuals by increasing resilience and modifying cognitive processes and behaviors of young people themselves; or strengthening institutions, such as schools, that work with young people by modifying their structure or management processes. Parenting and family-based interventions have demonstrated positive effects on reducing risk for specific externalizing disorders, for multiple problem outcomes in adolescence, for reducing prevalence of diagnosed MEB disorders, and for reducing parenting and family risk factors.
Conclusion: Interventions that strengthen families, individuals, schools, and other community organizations and structures have been shown to

AK: Native Crafts
The Alaska Federation of Natives Convention is focused on serious issues and politics. But one of the most popular attractions at the Carlson Center in Fairbanks is a massive ten filled with Native arts and crafts. The vendors' tent offers a lot of traditional works, with a few surprises.
AK: Spear Fishing
For one month each fall, Interior residents wade into the crystal clear waters of the Chatanika River to catch whitefish. They spawn in the fall, unlike other fish in Alaska. The state limits both the number of permits and the harvest. This isn't your typical fishery. Instead of rods and reels, or nets, fishermen use spears.
AK: Float
At 1.6 million acres, the Wood Tikchik State Park is the largest of its kind in the United States. With no road or trails, the park remains a quiet preserve for the fish and wildlife it was created to protect.
AK: Museum Moving
Construction workers in Juneau are making progress on the State Library Archives Museum building – otherwise known as SLAM. What most people don't see is all the work behind the scenes.
AK: Baby Boost
As in many small towns in Alaska, there are no babies delivered in Wrangell's hospital. Expectant mothers have to leave town to give birth. When they return, there aren't many services to help them adjust to life with a new baby. Hannah's Place is a non-profit that provides free courses for expecting couples and new parents. In exchange for taking these classes, parents have access to a "free" store that has nearly everything an infant needs.
AK: Salvage
For more than 30 years, Dan Magone has run around Alaska bailing out vessels in distress. In the process, he's developed a multimillion-dollar marine salvage business – and a reputation. Magone is a daredevil to some, and a savior to others. But now, he's the one being saved. Facing rising debt, Magone is selling his shop in Unalaska to a larger company. It's enough to keep the lights on, but it's going to be a big adjustment for the man at the center of Alaska's salvage industry.
AK: Football
It's football season in Alaska. The sport continues to gain popularity in the 49th state, where the first official high school football championship game was played less than 25 years ago. But in Alaska and nationally concerns over football's safety have grown, and more and more parents are refusing to let their children play youth football because of the risk of injury. Football officials at all levels have responded by trying to make the game safer.
AK: Preservation
In June, the Keku Cannery in Kake was named one of the 11 most endangered historic places in the country by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The building is an artifact of Alaska's salmon canning industry and its a reminder of the different people that worked there.
AK: Surfing Turnagain Arm
It's one of the few sports that most Alaskans haven't tried in the state. Our water is freezing, our beaches are rocky and there aren't many places to catch good waves. But none of that kept Anchorage resident Robert Stormo from attempting a daring surfing adventure along Turnagain Arm.
AK: Fishing
This week on AK: We go fishing. A group of four female soldiers spent a weekend last month on the Naknek river. The weather was gorgeous, the fish were biting, and the company was unmatched at the Project Healing Waters retreat. Through the program, the fishing community and veterans organizations hope to help injured veterans in their long recovery. KDLG's Ben Matheson takes us out on the water.
AK: Home Grown Garlic
The Chilkat Valley near Haines in Southeast is known as the Valley of the Eagles. But some residents are trying to bring the valley back to its roots, literally. Agriculture is making a comeback in the where longtime resident George Campbell believes he has the largest crop of garlic in the state this year.
AK: Doves
One of the most rapid and successful invasions of a continent did not happen in any war. It's happening now – maybe right outside your window. The Eurasian collared dove first came to North America in Florida in 1982, and was seen in Alaska as early as 2009. Experts say the dove represents no threat to the environment or native species. But it is changing how Alaska sounds.
AK: Fish Camp
Dotting the coast line of Cook Inlet from Ninilchik to Nikiski are some of the Kenai Peninsula's oldest businesses. Many of these commercial fish camps are still owned and operated by the families that started them two or three generations ago. KDLL's Shaylon Cochran has a closer look at the family traditions that are at the center of the culture of setnetting.
AK: Culture Camp
The Organized Village of Kake is a small tribal community on the northwest side of Kupreanof Island. Like many villages this time of year, they just hosted a culture camp, a week of teaching Native youth about traditional food gathering and processing. But during this week of hunting, smoking, and canning, there are a few bigger health issues being addressed too.
AK: Eyes On The Sky
For most Americans, local weather information comes from a variety of high-tech instruments. There's Doppler radar, digital thermometers and barometers, satellite images, weather buoys and more. But in Port Alexander, a small Southeast community, the daily weather report depends on two human beings.
AK: Game Entrepreneurs
Hundreds of years in the future, Earth is rendered uninhabitable. Brothers Raymond and Rusty Hayes are battling for survival. Their weapons? A board, a deck of cards, and some dice. KSTK's Shady Grove Oliver takes us inside the world of War Command.
AK: Saloon Secrets
If you've ever visited Homer, chances are you've stopped by the Salty Dawg Saloon – or at least seen the T-shirts and hoodies that have made their way all over the world. The bar itself is a 105-year-old relic of days gone by on the Homer Spit and a sort of living museum to Alaska's homesteader days. KBBI's Aaron Selbig takes a closer look inside one of Alaska's best-known buildings and shares some of its secrets.
AK: A Remote Cruise
It's not often that cruise ships call in the far western Aleutian port of Adak, but earlier this month, one did just that. The 295-foot Caledonian Sky wound up in Adak after bad weather forced it to bypass its original destination.
AK: Paddles
Remember the Tlingit paddlers who lost their canoes on a recent journey through Southeast? High winds and rough seas capsized the watercraft, dumping hand-carved, red cedar paddles into the ocean.
AK: Studying Sea Ice
Everyone's heard about the rapidly retreating sea ice in the Arctic. But if you're a scientist, how do you actually study what is happening out on a frozen, moving ice cover?

An amazing dub for an amazing anime
One Piece has always been and always will be my all-time favorite manga/anime, and when I heard this dub, I knew I had to buy the DVDs. The Funimation crew have really surpassed themselves this time to bring the best dub possible to this legendary series. Every voice actor fulfills their roles perfectly and after only a couple of episodes, I had already forgotten the original Japanese version and dove once again into the amazing world of One Piece. This box set covers the beginning of the series up until the middle of the Baratie arc. There is a lot of content in these 26 episodes and at such an affordable price, they are worth every penny. Although there aren't a lot of bonus features, the two episode commentaries with Mike McFarland and some of the voice actors were extremely enjoyable. All in all, if you already enjoy One Piece, or are looking for a new, action-packed anime that you will never forget, you owe it to yourself to buy this DVD.

Egyptian Army Ousts Muslim Brotherhood President As Crowd Cheers - VIDEOSubmitted by emalvini on Wed, 07/03/2013 - 21:00
Egyptian Army Ousts Muslim Brotherhood President As Crowd Cheers - VIDEO
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's first democratically elected president was ousted Wednesday by the military after barely a year in office, felled by the same kind of popular revolt that first brought him to power in the Arab Spring.
The armed forces announced it would install a temporary civilian government to replace Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, who denounced the action as a "full coup" by the generals. They also suspended the Islamist-drafted constitution and called for new elections.
Millions of anti-Morsi protesters in cities around the country erupted in delirious scenes of joy after the televised announcement by the army chief. Fireworks burst over crowds in Cairo's Tahrir Square, where men and women danced, shouting, "God is great" and "Long live Egypt."

Regarding the army, who the F gave those jokers the guns and thereby effectively put them in charge? Good luck with that, anyway. Nothing but another set of mob rulers.

From the article: Year Round Education
Should school implement year round education? Do you think that year round education would have a positive effect, negative effect, or no real effect on student learning? Have you experienced year round education? If so, please share your experiences.
- i dont think it would be right for kids to go year round because they would feel as if they had no time for them self. i feel as a senior the summer break gave me time to collect my self and make a hard choice as it was to be bored over the summer or go through and look for collage i have done a study on this and kids have stated as students that there would be more drop out and some stated that they would enjoy it. however with some parents they feels as if the school system is pushing to hard and can barley deal with the conflicts now. how many more conflicts do they feel there would be if you kept school year round. so i am strongly against this
- —Guest b
- its true that we should get a break from school every once and a while, but think about it. if people forget things during the break, this means that they never really learned it. so this means that they need to practice it more, or the teachers arent very good at teaching. also, there is nothing that the kids will really do during the break besides lie around and play video games. those of you who actually get up and exersize? good for you. i am on a swim team, and i exercize year round. you also have the fact that some parents cant take care of their children while their going around and having fun. if they can take care of them, ie, get child care or get them to go their friends or reletives for a while, then good for them. the fact remains. schools give WAY to much breaks to the kids. we already have weekends anyway! so why would you people complain? now look. im not saying that kids dont deserve a break. me being a student myself, i like a break every once and a while...
- —Guest 7th grade
- Let them breathe, relax, just be for a couple of months. The kids that want or need to work will not b given jobs due to no summer break. Teens need to learn how to get a job and how to work at job. Great life lesson!! Our very busy summer tourism business will hugely be affected!! What about summer camps for the kids??? My kids have never been to one, but they will have a problem keeping it running as well as, the kids get a lot out of those camps. At this time, I am very against it. Concerns me that our livelihood with tourism would greatly be affected. Just some quick thoughts, points, and concerns that came to mind.
- —Guest val
Not year round
- I did research. The time is the same for both schedules, just different time spacing. Get the whole truth people.
- —Guest Logo
- we shouldn't have school all year round. Its not right because we could get stress instead of having a break for at least a month. EVERYONE NEEDS A VACATION!!!!!! :(
- —Guest Tiff
- I am currently an 11th grader. I most certainly disagree with the Year Round Schooling. In my opionion it is going to cause more drop outs than normal. Yes we may still be going the same amount of days as we are now but it's going to make students not want to come back. Taking away vacations,family time, and the summer break is our stress free time. Without having that summer break there'd be more and more bad things happening in schools.
- —Guest you
- Do you understand that if we do this that it would cost more money. What about the people who don't pay attention in class? Do you think "THEY" will finally listen to the teacher "that" long? This will just make your report card/ average worse. What about your after school activities? Such as, piano, baskeyball, and etc. Also not everything is about learning, people. We need to experience the world as well. Multi-tasking is awesome! NOT! What if a parent has more than one child? One child has to go to school at 7:00a.m. but theres another child that needs to go to school at 9:00a.m. But then the parents have jobs too, you know. How are the parents suppose to deal with this? Teachers say, "We don't have enough time to teach.' Do you know why? That's because you don't manage your time well enough! That's your fault. If a child is having difficulties with a subject bring them up to the class at lunch or give that child extra practice paper. Please give some thought about this. Thank you.
- —Guest Stalker
no.(why should we?)
- I don't think that year round schooling is good because if you get bored during the summer thats why we have X-box.
- —Guest s.s. 6th
No. To much stress
- I understand most of the points made by the "yes" people and the "no" people. I say no. I do because I'm still in high school and we are put under so much stress from homework, friends, school drama and things that go on in our daily life. Even at a younger age you are in a place of stress. Hoping you pass, hoping you can understand all the material, dealing with the drama that people start at school. It's not fun. I think that instead of, no offense, older people who are teachers, graduates or are just plain adults, the people who should answer the question on whether or not we should have year round school is us. The kids still in school. Summer is a time for us to bond with friends and family. A time to relax and forget about who cheated on who, who back stabbed you and why someone did something. We just let all the problems fade away so that when the next year starts back up we can theoretically have a clean plate. I don't wanna be under stress and I wouldn't want my kids either.
- —Guest Guest 25
- kids will not forget what they learned if we have no summer vacation so they will get a better education. more kids will participate in activities to waste bordem.
- —Guest cameron
yes definetly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- i absolutly think we should have year around school as a advantage not a punishment.It gives students an opportunity to enjopy education and remmeber the lessons the recently learn. i believe education is a blessing
- —Guest zoraida
- I wish I could go to year round school! Everbody i know forgets at least 75% of what they learned over the year. So to solve that issue just go for nine weeks and get like two weeks off so you get a brake and remember what you learned over the nine weeks. The only reason students look foward to summer is to get away from school. Everybody dreads school because you just go day after day till summer is up, but if you have the brakes in between then the students would come back to school ready to start again. Think to your self how long you enjoy summer vacation before you are bored and want to go back to school!
- —Guest Pete
- Whats the point? It didn't change anything for 10 months, so what makes them think 2 more months will help out?
- —Guest untitled
- I homeschool my daughter (age 7). We do school as it fits into our family schedule. We have 4 younger than her, so our needs change frequently. I have noted that when we have taken 2-3 week breaks with no schooling at all, she always comes back to the classroom seeming to have "absorbed" what was taught before. It appears as though her mind has had time to process the information, and we move right along, no tedious reviews are ever necessary. This has been particularly the case in her reading skills. She reads on a 4th grade level though she is in 1st grade.
- —Guest Jill
- I agree 100% !!! there are many benefits to it! ... such as : the students won't forget what they recently learned; families can travel/ have vacations through-out the year without missing any school!!!! i back it up completely!!! :) sincerely, 8th grade student who backs it 100% :)

TV-Out on Ti4600 w/HDTV
I have a MSI Ti4600 and a Toshiba 42" Cinema Series HDTV (at least I have them here in the store, not personally :). I am trying to get the TV-Out on the 4600 to look decent. When activated, the HDTV will display a picture at the proper size/aspect ration. HOWEVER, there is a very noticable pattern on the image. It is sort of a "checkerboard" effect that scrolls through the image. Does anyone know a way to fix this problem? I have tried 600x400, 640x480, and 800x600 resolutions, as they are all that are included in the drivers by default. I have read that you can alter the .ini to give custom resolutions that may work better than these. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: The TV is hooked up to the card via a standard S-Video cable. Would moving to DVI (the TV natively supports DVI in) fix my problem?
Using DVI should make a huge difference.
don't most hdtv's have that RGB input that seperates, the red, green, blue, positive, and negative to five different inputs? if your hdtv has that option, go buy a hd-15 to rgb cable. that would be the most optimal.
Re: TV-Out on Ti4600 w/HDTV
I would buy a DVI-D Cable and connect the PC to the Toshiba wiht the HDCP DVI-D only connector.

Agreement appears elusive on jobless benefits bill
WASHINGTON (AP) — Compromise talks on a new program of long-term jobless benefits ran aground in the Senate on Tuesday, leaving the fate of the measure in extreme doubt while Republicans and Democrats vied for political advantage in the wreckage.
"This is a dispiriting moment for millions of Americans," said Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., whose state's unemployment is measured at 9 percent.
At issue was a struggle over the possible resurrection of a program that expired on Dec. 28, immediately cutting off support for more than 1.3 million unemployed workers who have exhausted state-paid benefits that generally run for 26 weeks.
The legislation is the first of the year in the Senate, and an early preview of a competition between the two parties for support in this year's election from economically squeezed voters.
After more than a week of negotiations, though, the Senate blocked a pair of Democratic-drafted proposals from advancing, after first denying Republicans a chance to change the legislation — all on near party-line votes.
The White House blamed Republicans, but pledged to keep working with both parties to find a way forward. "It's very disappointing that Republicans in the Senate chose to block action tonight on a compromise solution," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
Clearly anticipating the outcome, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid accused Republicans in advance of resorting to obstruction to block help to families in need.
"We have a filibuster before us again. Another one," Reid said. Republicans want to "have their cake and eat it, too," he said, by having the Senate vote on their own proposed changes in the legislation without guaranteeing to then let the measure pass afterward.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell countered that Reid was trying to "fix the result" by requiring Republicans to amass 60 votes behind any of their proposed changes, an all-but-impossible threshold to meet given the circumstances. He said GOP efforts to improve the measure had been checked by Reid at every turn, even if one of the Republican proposals had cross-party appeal.
The day's events are likely to be the Senate's last word on the unemployment measure until late this month or next month at the earliest.
Reed and Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, said separately they hoped compromise efforts wouldn't end, but Reid made no immediate announcement about when the issue might return to the Senate floor.
For all the maneuvering over the last several days, the level of suspicion across party lines has been unusually evident — with some Republicans saying the Democrats' goal was to gain political advantage rather than pass legislation while some Democrats say the objective of most GOP lawmakers had been to torpedo the bill all along.
The developments capped a period that began last week when a half-dozen Republicans unexpectedly sided with Democrats to push an initial Democratic measure past a procedural hurdle. At the same time, they made clear they would seek changes, and also the right to have Republican amendments come to a vote.
The initial Democratic proposal would have renewed the expired benefits program for three months, but without offsetting budget cuts. That meant pushing deficits higher by about roughly $6.4 billion over a decade.

Excerpt from SEC Issues Final Rules to Implement Changes in Accredited Investor Definition
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") recently adopted amendments to the definition of "accredited investor," implementing certain requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"). The amendments affect companies seeking to raise money through private offerings because they change the rules for determining if a potential investor qualifies as an "accredited investor."
