How to install suse 9.2 64 bit without the driver
my suse installation hangs up, because the geforce driver aren't included.
the instructions on nvidia-site explains just how to install the driver on a installation which already exits on the system.
But, how can i include the *.run-file on the suse installation-dvd or during the installation.
unfortunatly, i can just reach the textbased boot-menu (not the grafical) where i can't change the monitor resolution with F2 (or install suse in textmode and install the drivers afterwards)? After some time, the installation tries to get in grafical-mode and the display hangs up ("out of range"). I've already tried selveral displays. So i think it's the geforce-card.

Re: How to install suse 9.2 64 bit without the driver
You do not say which card you have, but my GeForce MX4000 also does not have the proper driver included in my SuSE 9.1. My problem was not identical (black screen on login) but it may be solved in the same way.
If you are still having trouble, try selecting a driver for a simliar card - maybe a 2-D one from the SuSE SAX2 menu. I used the GeForce4 4200 Go & I seem to have full functionality - 1600x1200 @ 16million colours.
One complication is that I am running 32bit SuSE 9.1 on an AMD 64. That is because I was not sure how well the 64bit SuSE would be supported.
Had to rename the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o to prevent it from causing the black screen & use startx to get in & run SAX2.
I found the 'out-of-range' thing frustrating too. Got there in the end though.
Hope this helps,
Re: How to install suse 9.2 64 bit without the driver
thx for your help, but your solution didn't work
i'm using the geforce 6600.
now, i've installed the suse 9.2 64 bit edition in textmode with no grafical interface.
i've downloaded the driver and tried the instructions of the nvidia-side.
whenever i try to install the driver with the command...
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-6629-pkg1.run -n
... i get the messages
i've already tried several driver-version 71* and 66* (even the 32bit editions)
by the way, i am an linux-newbie. (need step by step explanations)
I just wanna have a running system...
Re: How to install suse 9.2 64 bit without the driver
just so ya know, the precompiled interface is basically a joke anymore, ive installed the driver on 8 different distros with kernels ranging from 2.4-to the latest 2.6.11 and not a one has had a precompiled interface download, and as for the kernel source code, I think with suse if you look through your package selection on install there is a kernel development package that you can select, only tried suse 9.2 once, so maybe someone else can give a more accurate description of where to get the kernel sources.

On a Mission to Link the Body and Brain in Education -- One Push-up at a Time
Editor's Note: Joel Kirsch, age 62, is two weeks into an arduous journey, half of it on his hands and knees, that could last four to six weeks more -- all in the name of better education. Kirsch is a former sports psychologist for the San Francisco Giants and president of the Northern California-based American Sports Institute, a nonprofit educational organization that applies the principles and practices of sport culture and wellness to other kinds of challenges. He has previously contributed to Edutopia in words and video.
Kirsch and the Institute are working to create the Arete School of Sport Culture and Wellness, a tuition-free, privately funded school in California that will integrate sports practices to generate high marks on academics, health, and motivation for its students, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds. It's part of Kirsch's bigger vision for how to revive American education. And now he's traveling the length of a county, one push-up at a time, to make his point.
Why am I doing this? It's so grueling. Six hours a day, five days a week, for as long as it takes. Right now, as you read this, I'm probably on the Highway 101 frontage road in Marin County, California. I'm traveling (more like inching my way) some 40 to 50 miles from the northern end of Marin to its southern border on the Golden Gate Bridge. Less than 100 feet to my left cars are rushing by me at 60-70 miles an hour. The noise is deafening; the fumes choking. I hate freeways.
Joel Kirsch with two Novato firefighter friends.
This is my mantra: Stand straight, inhale and step forward with the right foot. Exhale and go down on the left knee. The carpenter's knee guard will protect it (so far, so good). Glove-covered hands down in a push-up position, both feet straight back. I go down for a push-up, inhale-exhale. Breathing in, I step forward with the left knee, then right foot. Exhale. Stand straight. Repeat.
How many times am I going to do this -- 40,000 to 50,000? I only cover about a mile a day. Why?
I tell myself: Let go of all that. You know what to do. Stay focused. Keep going.
Of course, I know why I'm doing this -- and it's working.
We had to focus a spotlight on the fact that students need to be engaged in sustained, high levels of physical activity, especially aerobic activity, in order to realize their full academic and health and fitness potential. The ancient Greeks instinctively knew this. Great figures throughout history have known it. Studies over the past quarter century have proven it. Recent and emerging research in neuroscience is validating it and explaining in detail how it happens. The Arete School is going to incorporate all of this.
This is the Arete School Pilgrimage, a journey in prostration push-ups. We've gotten a bunch of publicity on it, which will raise the visibility of our message and our efforts to create the school. It's all going to be worth it.
The bottom line is: Engaging in high levels of physical activity increases academic achievement; maximizes health and fitness; improves attitude, behavior, and mood; promotes longevity; reduces medical-care costs; and helps you get a good night's sleep without taking a pill. What educator wouldn't want all this for his or her students and their families? However, despite these irrefutable truths, the physical domain has been given either only passing interest or has been left out of the discussion entirely in the half-century old, educational-change movement. Paradigms and perspectives are difficult to change.
What's been so uplifting doing the pilgrimage has been the support from those I know and from strangers who have read the articles and seen the television stories. My dentist has come out twice, several hours each time, to do the pilgrimage with me. There were the Novato firefighters who came out of their station to do prostration push-ups with me. And Maria Lashinger, a graduate student in sports management at the University of San Francisco, has been with me most of the way as a support person.
I've learned that when you're really willing to put yourself on the line for a worthy cause, it brings out the best in others. There was the woman who had a front tooth missing, someone who seemed to be struggling to hold her life together. She said she read the front-page article in the Marin Independent Journal, the county newspaper. When she saw me doing the pilgrimage on the sun-baked sidewalk, she said, "Good for you and what you're doing for the kids." I responded, "You just made my day."
There was the dad who had seen the article and came out of his office as I prostrated and pushed-up by, to tell me about his high-school swimmer son who had heart surgery as a young boy, and again about a year ago. He told me how important physical activity has been to his son, just to keep him here on the planet.
Then there was the elementary-school teacher in her car who pulled up alongside me and said she had put the IJ article on her refrigerator so her seven-year-old daughter could see it. Mom wants her daughter to be more physically active, to get outside more and enjoy life, to be better prepared for school. Then she drove off, only to show up a few minutes later with an ice-cold bottle of water.
So many people have told me that they've never felt more human than when they're physically engaged. Whether it's being able to do better in school, more focused and energized at work, feeling good about and within yourself, and being able to get along better with others, those who are physically active know what the ancient Greeks knew.
If you are so inclined, I'd love to hear from you about all this. What's your take on the role of physical activity in your life, and for our kids in America's schools?
I believe that the degree to which a society or an institution values the mind over the body or spirit is the degree to which that society/institution is in a state of dis-ease. Given what the research is trying to tell us, what's going on in our troubled public-school system and America at large is not a problem but the symptom of a problem.
Joel Kirsch makes his way down Highway 101.
The real problem is that, as a nation, we continue to deny the fundamental role of the physical in the education of the whole child in our public schools and in our daily lives. While well-intentioned, our schools are not allowing our children to realize their full potential. Is it any wonder why the children cry out to us through their chronic disengagement, underachievement, attitude and behavior issues, and poor health? The very essence of our humanity is crying out to us through our children.
The full integration of the physical domain into the total learning experience of every child may be the essential element that has been missing in the half-century effort to turn around America's public-school system.
Half a century is long enough. We can do this.
Now, where was I? Oh yeah, inhale and step forward with the right foot. Exhale and go down on the left knee . . .

My kindergarten class will love hearing about this. In fact, I am certain they will feel a challenge to do more exercise than usual. Thanks for the reminder that a fit and healthy body will help us reach our potential in all areas of life.
Hi Gail,
Good for you! The earlier this starts in a child's life, the better. In fact, everything gets better with appropriate forms of physical activity. My best to you and your kids!
I love you Dad. I'm with you every push up of the way.
Hi Joel!
Michelle here. I'm glad that you're doing well and staying strong. I believe in you in the greater mission you're fighting for.
Sending you a bear hug!
PS-Soon as you get back, let's have a cold one.
I believe what you are doing is awesome! Physical activity is very important to me and my life. I believe that everyone should be physically active. Not only does it keep you fit, but it makes you feel better. You are not as tired, you are focused, you are happier, you sleep better. As an educator, I see problems with obese students. They do not want to participate in physical education classes, and they are not focused in school. I do believe that if these students are taught what to do and how to make it fun they would engage in exercises. Students are constantly falling asleep in class, and I strongly believe it is from lack of exercise and therefore engergy. These students are suffering because they are not learning and increasing academic progress. My pre-kindergarten students love to exercise! We do counting exercises daily to help with counting skills but also to get them moving. We also discuss how exercise can be fun. We dance and play different sports. I am active in my personal life and I let me students see that in me. I am their role model and I will encourage them to be physically active to stimulate their brain and have high academics!
:) Stay strong!

NORFOLK -- A passenger carrying a loaded gun in an airport will make any traveler worry.
Wednesday night, TSA agents discovered a loaded .380 Smith & Wesson Bodyguard handgun in someone's carry-on luggage in the X-ray machine.
Police immediately got involved and arrested the Norfolk passenger whom it belonged to. Other travelers say they're relieved by the outcome and applaud authorities for taking swift action.
'That's good that means they're doing their job you know everything is working well so I appreciate it,' said traveler Jacob Fisher.
TSA officials don't know if the Norfolk man intentionally carried the gun to the airport. It is a misdemeanor to have a gun on airport property.
A lot of people do inadvertently bring guns to the airport we can't say how many of them were inadvertent and how many have been on purpose but last year alone TSA officers discovered over 17-hundred guns coming through the airport,' said TSA spokesman Jim McKinney.
Authorities also say the passenger did have a permit to carry a concealed weapon.'
After the Norfolk man was arrested he was able to catch his flight to Charlotte, North Carolina without his gun.
McKinney says there are approved ways to fly with guns, but specific rules need to be followed. Click here for TSA rules on traveling with firearms and ammunition

Check out Groupon?s examination of acupuncture needles to ease any lingering aichmophobia. Acupuncture generally doesn?t draw blood?a testament to the skill of professional acupuncturists but also to the special needles they use. Unlike the needles commonly feared by hospital-goers, acupuncture needles are thin enough to slip through the skin without breaking any blood vessels. Although most are roughly the thickness of a hair or a pixie?s wand, they come in several varieties for different treatment types: thinner needles provide less stimulation and are often used for children or the elderly; shorter needles treat the head and face; and longer needles (up to 5 inches long) target the thighs and other fleshy areas to reach points along the body?s theoretical energy pathways, known as meridians. Filiform needles are the most common, comprising a stainless-steel wire sharpened at one end and wrapped at the other to form a handle. With a quick, skilled hand?or the aid of an insertion tube?practitioners insert the tip just beneath the skin?s surface, and although a small prickle may be felt, once the needles are in, the patient shouldn?t feel them at all. Today, most acupuncturists use disposable needles due to their safety and simplicity, but some may use reusable steel or even gold needles, sterilizing them between use in the same way doctors or guitarists do their instruments. The practice of acupuncture stretches back more than 5,000 years, well before stainless steel was a household commodity. Archaeologists have dug up traces of the implements early healers used to get energy, or chi, flowing properly through the body: sharpened stones were a popular choice, as were delicate needles of bone.12911 Woodmore RoadBowie, MD US

DOST calls for centralized hosting after massive hacking of gov't websites
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Science and Technology said they are looking into having a centralized web hosting service for government websites after at least 30 of their Internet domains were hacked on Monday, coinciding with the "Million People March."
Anonymous Philippines hacked government home pages to call for the complete abolition of the pork barrel system.
"This recent spate of website defacements goes to show the serious need for the Government Web Hosting Service (GWHS ), especially since government websites will more and more be leveraged to deliver public services," said Louis Casambre, Executive Director of the DOST Information and Communications Technology Office, in a statement.
Casambre said the development of the GWHS was in accordance of Administrative Order no. 39 enacted on July 12. The order mandates all national government agencies, government financial institutions, and government-owned and controlled corporations to have their websites hosted under the GWHS.
The official also called on the "hacking community not to target such sites" because of their critical information dissemination roles.
Many of the hacked websites belonged to local government units.
On Facebook, Anonymous Philippines claimed that the websites of the President, the Senate, the Bureau of Customs, Department of Finance, Department of the Interior and Local Government, Internal Interview, Department of Agrarian Reform, Department of Public Works and Highways, Quezon City Official website, Bureau of Internal Revenue, Treasury, Department of Energy, Department of Education, and Department of Environment and Natural Resources were also affected.
The group also posted that the government has substandard websites because of "greed."

We imagine that a little anxiety and worry are an indication of how really wise we are; it is much more an indication of how really wicked we are. Fretting springs from a determination to get our own way. Our Lord never worried and He was never anxious, because He was not "out" to realize His own ideas; He was "out" to realize God's ideas.
Fretting is wicked if you are a child of God. Have you been bolstering up that stupid soul of yours with the idea that your circumstances are too much for God? Put all "supposing" on one side and dwell in the shadow of the Almighty. Deliberately tell God that you will not fret about that thing. All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
Sam (Michael Angarano), a young kids-book author, suckers his neglected childhood best friend, Marshall (Reece Thompson), into driving them out of Brooklyn. Romantic egotist Sams hidden ulterior motive behind their impromptu vacation is to ambush old flame Zoe (Uma Thurman) at her fiancés posh shore housewhere he unexpectedly discovers Zoe hosting her own wedding party. The antecedents to Max Winklers debut feature, with its melancholy-whimsical sentimental education, soundtrack cues, and kitsch safari films from Zoes husband-to-be (Lee Pace), are obvious. Ceremony is clearly under the influence of Wes Anderson, while at one point Sam gives Marshall a stolen present inlaid with the initials N.B.a confession to Noah Baumbach? Ceremony is a callow movie: Winkler exhibits no comprehension of the class anxieties he addresses, and extends precocity into adulthood. That callowness is Ceremonys subject scarcely makes it funnier. There are able supporting performances by Pace and, as Zoes ever-squiffed brother, Jake Johnson, but Angarano and Thompsontheir physical type, delivery, vocal tone, and timing barely distinguishablefail to endear as a duo. They begin the weekend at a blithely clacking clip and end it slowed by self-knowledge, exhaling not one quotable line at either speed.

If you are in the market for a new bicycle, you probably already know that not all bikes are made equally. There are certain types of bicycles that are designed for certain types of riding. For instance, you will find road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrid bikes, beach cruisers and others. So, how do you go about choosing the perfect bicycle for you? Here are a few tips that will help you get started.
First and foremost, determine the type of bicycle you will need. Will you spend more time on the roadways and other smooth surfaces? If so, then consider a road bike. Perhaps you are looking to ride on wooded trails, dirt, gravel or mud. If that is the case, then you may need to choose a mountain bike. If you want something that will work for both, then a hybrid bike is for you.
Next, you should determine your budget. You should probably be aware of the fact that the type and size of the bike will play an important role in the cost of the bike. Other factors, such as features, accessories, and overall quality will also be important. You may not want to spend a fortune on a new bicycle, but that doesn't mean that you should buy the cheapest one that you can find either. You usually get what you pay for.
There are other aspects that you must consider as well, including the size of the frame, weight of the bike, and type of wheels and tires. Then, there are more critical concerns, such as the efficiency of the brakes and other safety features. When considering all of the various options, you may need to try out a few bikes before you will know what will be most comfortable for you.
Before selecting a certain type of bicycle, you may want to take some time to learn more about the manufacturer and read some consumer reviews. This is always a great idea because it gives you a first hand review.
Don't go out and buy new bicycles blindly. Take some time and do your research so that you will be happy with your purchase. After all, a bicycle can be a pretty big investment and you don't want to buy one that you will not be comfortable with or not enjoy. So, use these tips to help you choose the perfect bike to meet your every need.

Carved Onyx Skull Ring
This unisex talismanic ring is hand carved in our own atelier in Rome. The "Vanities" is one of Bernard Delettrez's most favoured themes of inspiration. This uniquely designed piece of jewellery appears to have dropped straight from the private dressing room of Edgar Allan Poe or from the imaginary cabinet of a Tim Burton movie character... yet always with a hint of Man Ray's surrealism.
Experimenting with a variety of materials, playing with structures and always exploring new carving techniques, this uniquely designed ring presents Bernard Delettrez at his finest and doing what he does best. Hand carved in our atelier in Rome, this talismanic ring is a sheer symbol of cosmopolitan elegance "à la Delettrez".

5 Things To Know About Caitlin Cahow
BY Keith Hutson
February 05 2014 7:00 AM ET
5. She freaked out when she met her own Olympic hero, Jackie Joyner-Kersey, at the Golden Globes' event with United for Equality in Sports and Entertainment. "She must have thought I was crazy," Cahow recounts. "I was growing up right during the Atlanta Olympics, and we all have our Olympic heroes, and she was mine during that time in my life. So when I got to meet her I was speechless! I think she thought I was odd. I just looked at her with such reverence. She was the fastest woman in the world for a while! There's just something about the profound effect that an Olympian can have on a country, or the world, and especially on the kids who aspire to achieve great things…I felt so ridiculous because the first thing I said to her was 'Oh my gosh, how did you keep your nails so long while you were running?' And I'm sure she's been asked that eight million times, but she just laughed, and she gave me this really charming response, and she was just so down to earth. It's so funny — even though I've been to the Olympics, when I meet other Olympians, I'm always a little awestruck because I admire them so much."

Can Anthony Rizzo Break the Cubs Curse?
There are high hopes at Wrigley for the 23-year-old slugger.
(page 4 of 8)
Photograph: Courtesy of the Rizzo Family
Rizzo tackled his treatment with the same ferocious determination he did sports. For his parents, he had one request. "I said, 'I don't want to get a bunch of sympathy," he recalls. "I don't want everyone going, 'Oh, how are you feeling? To baby me. I just want to be normal.' "
Left unspoken was that he did not want to add to his mother's burden as she dealt with her own mother's cancer fight. "You never heard anything about [his illness from him]," says his brother, John. "He never really complains too much."
And in the abstract, chemotherapy didn't sound so bad. Get a few months of treatments, get well, and go play ball again. The reality was much starker. Long days attached to an IV. Four different meds, including two "push" injections. One injection was like "getting broken glass shot into your veins," his father says.
"It wasn't fun," Rizzo agrees. He spent the next few months living at his parents' house with his grandmother, who had moved there while she was going through her own cancer treatments. Rizzo had always been very close to his grandparents. "They were a big influence on my kids," Laurie says. "They went to every single game that both of them had."
In the days immediately following chemotherapy, Rizzo says, his body would shut down completely. "It would just be miserable. By the next week, I would feel OK, and I would try to go out and move around—shoot some basketball."
He kept nausea at bay by sticking to a very limited diet. "The only thing I ate was my mom's pasta and her sauce," he says. "If I was really nauseous, I would drink a milkshake or eat brownies. So I actually gained weight and didn't lose my hair. Not sure how that works."
That fall, Rizzo's parents were in a plane waiting to take off for Austin to watch their older son, who was now an offensive lineman with Florida Atlantic University, play the University of Texas Longhorns. They were also anxiously awaiting a call from Rizzo's doctors, for the six months of chemotherapy were nearly over. "They were just about to tell us to turn the phones off when the phone rang," Laurie recalls. "It was the doctor, and he told us Anthony was in remission."
Her reaction? "I screamed," she says, laughing. "I think the whole plane knew. I was yelling to some friends of ours in the back of the plane, 'He's in remission!' " But their joy would be tempered. Ten days after learning that he had likely won his cancer battle, Rizzo learned his grandmother had lost hers. "At least," he says, glancing at the sky, "she knows I'm healthy."

The challenge of Ramadan fasting inspires cookbook
By Current State
This week is the official start of the Muslim holiday Ramadan. While part of the month-long celebration focuses on the reading of the Quran, it is also marked by fasting from sunup to sundown.
During the summer months, fasting can be particularly difficult.
Yvonne Maffei is the editor and publisher of the blog, My Halal Kitchen, which showcases healthy meals that are permissible under the Islamic faith. She is also the author of the book "Summer Ramadan Cooking."
She spoke with Current State's Emanuele Berry, about faith, food, and how to prepare for this month's fast.

Questionable $110M State Deals Bypassed Reviews (page 19235)
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — State officials say $110 million in no-bid health contracts that are now the focus of a criminal investigation bypassed two routine oversight boards for deals of that size.
The Austin American-Statesman reported Tuesday that the lucrative contracts with Austin-based 21CT skipped those reviews while avoiding a bidding process. The tech company was hired to help the Texas Health and Human Services Commission root out Medicaid fraud.
A spokeswoman for the state comptroller says it's unclear whether the bypassed reviews violated state law.
Two high-ranking state health officials resigned this month as scrutiny over the contracts intensified. Three others were sent home on paid administrative leave.
Public corruption prosecutors in Austin are preparing to open a case. Health Commissioner Kyle Janek has said he doesn't believe anyone acted illegally.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
Hotel Straf
Via San Raffaele, 3, Milan, Italy
Neighborhood: Piazza del Duomo
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The Straf is one of the new breed of high-design hotels to have recently opened in downtown Milan. The city that this hotel inhabits is less the dingy industrial center of decades past, and more the new Milan, the center of all things stylish in Italy. In this case, the architect, Vincenzo de Cotiis, is also a fashion designer — who better to know what the haute couture set wants from a hotel.
The exterior is vintage 19th-century, but de Cotiis's interiors, in concrete and black slate with scratched mirrors and gauzed glass, are utterly modern. Don't expect spacious rooms with expansive views; these are more like stylish prison cells, or panic rooms to which harried fashionistas retreat in order to shut out the outside world. The rooms, however well-appointed with flat-screen satellite TVs and high-speed internet, are not meant to be lounged in at great length — most guests will prefer to pass time in the stylish Bar Straf, perhaps playing spot-the-celebrity, lounging in the massage chairs in the chromotherapy or aromatherapy rooms, or working out in the 24-hour gym (an oddity for this sort of hotel, but certainly nothing to complain about). And though the hotel does serve dinner, there is no restaurant; this alone means one cannot hole up here for long.
Which is entirely the point. No tourist trap, this is a place for busy professionals, or at least furious shoppers. This district, the Golden Quadrangle, is home to the best of the city's already-impressive boutiques; Dolce and Gabbana and Prada's shops are just around the corner. And fashion isn't everything, even in Milan — the Duomo Cathedral, the Galleria and La Scala are all mere steps from the hotel.

Software veteran John Mutch talks new business model
CEO of BeyondTrust is trying to grow a substantial company on "freemium" platform
John Mutch has deep roots in the San Diego software scene. He's a former chief executive officer with HNC Software — now owned by FICO-score firm Fair Isaac. He rebuilt scandal-plagued, bankrupt Peregrine Systems before selling it to Hewlett-Packard for $425 million.
His latest venture is BeyondTrust, an identity and access management software company based in Carlsbad. Mutch believes he's found a better business model for how software is sold to big businesses, and he hopes BeyondTrust can prove that the model works at a large scale.
BeyondTrust's core technology is security software that controls who has access to certain information and data on computer servers within the company, and how much access they have.
"It's a very efficient password checkout system that controls access and has the ability to bind a set of role-based privileges to that password that allows you to go do something," he said.
The software reports activity — what each person did and how long they spent doing it — when working inside a company's computer networks.
BeyondTrust has products that work with Windows, Unix and Linux computer servers, as well as a Windows-based desktop product. It employs about 150 workers nationwide, and about 25 in Carlsbad. It is growing organically and through acquisition, acquiring Bellevue, Wash.-based Likewise Software, Acton, Mass.-based Lumigent Technologies and Luxembourg-based GentleSecurity.
Mutch believes the growing popularity of cloud computing and mobile computing opens up opportunities for the company's products.
BeyondTrust customers use the software to meet compliance requirements, ranging from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Mutch said the company expects to have $50 million in sales this year and earnings of $16.5 million, excluding taxes, depreciation, amortization and interest.
"We have nine of the Top 10 large banks," he said. "There are global banks running a copy of our software on virtually every server in their environment to control access and delegate privileges."
Mutch recently sat down with the Union-Tribune to discuss his latest venture and the business model he sees as having the potential to change the industry. It's called "freemium," and involves delivering basic software online for free, and then persuading
customers to upgrade to the pay-for, premium product. Here are some excerpts.
Q: What is this
business model?
A: One of the key components of our model is we're a tele-sales, or a "freemium" type company. Software has always been a trade-off between power and complexity. The more powerful the software, the more complex it has been, requiring armies of service professionals and dollars to install it and get the value.
In the last four or five years, there have been a number of companies that have been started and come to market that have been able to deliver very powerful software in a very simple model. And it's really based in new development architectures and increased capacity for download over the Web.
So our model is to create awareness and interest, drive customers to our website, have them download a free version of our product, try that product, use it, maybe engage with us in a walk-through of it, talk about the benefit of it and then have them upgrade to a purchased product.

SET India, Yash Raj expand pact
The agreement builds on the existing relationship between both parties, as MSM and YRF earlier inked an exclusive broadcast deal for all YRF movies, some of which are amongst Indian film's biggest hits.
YRF is headed by iconic filmmaker Yash Chopra while his son Aditya is the banner's creative director.
Details of the shows to be produced and a timeline are to be announced. YRF has forayed into TV content production earlier with two shows produced for Star TV India.
"We're thrilled and delighted to be working with Aditya Chopra and the talented team at YRF to create exceptional television content, which will be contemporary and engaging for audiences in India. Yash Raj Films and Sony Entertainment Television have a long standing relationship and this agreement will further strengthen our ties. This deal makes great sense because of the obvious ways the two businesses complement each other," SET CEO Man Jit Singh said in a statement.
"Yash Raj Films has been at the forefront in making feature films for almost four decades. We have created our own space with the efforts of a wonderful team – this collaboration gives us an opportunity of producing television content that we believe in – shows that will engage and entertain the large television audience in India," YRF chairman Yash Chopra added.

I have finally found my HG sunscreen for my face. I love this! Works beautifully with or without make up. Does not sting eyes, and does not make me look like I have bathed in canola oil by noon. Every other sunscreen I have tried for my face has made me super oily despite using a whole package of blotting papers. I have not burned once since using this but I am also applying every 2 hours when out in the water. Even with this heavy usage it does not cause break outs, build up, or greasy residue. Package is perfect for throwing in your beach/lake bag and you dont have to worry about it spilling beacuse the screw on cap secures tightly. Also a little goes a long way, seems kind of expensive up front but i have been using my bottle for a month (once a day during the week and several times a day during the weekend at the lake) and I am confident this bottle will last the rest of the summer if not longer. If you haven't found you HG facial sunscreen I suggest giving this a try!

I bought this sunscreen for a vacation in the keys and wore it everyday on my face! It felt so nice going on. Like silk. Not greasy at all unlike most sunscreens even facial ones. I really like the packaging . You get a small bottle but it's a thin liquid and a little goes along way so it will last forever! It smells nice and it's not overpowering. After a full day of biking and sweating and being outsidenmy face still looked matte! Like applying clear makeup or something! It is a great product. I would def recommend! Plus it SPF 50 which I wouldn't put on anything less on my face!

This sunscreen is perfect for my oily skin! I've tried several other sunscreens for facial skin and all have left a greasy film and felt heavy. Sublime Sun is a liquid, feels like silk, glides on smoothly, absorbs quickly, and feels weightless. I'll be using this regularly.

I wanted to like this soo much. I really needed a sunblock for my very sunburn-prone face, espeically sitting outside in the glaring sun for my kids' baseball games. I love that this is matte on my more oily face and that it blended in well and disappeared under makeup, but it broke me out horribly! I had tiny whiteheads allll over my face after using this twice! It took me weeks to get my face back to 'normal'. I do have sensitive skin and will break out fairly easily to a 'bad' product, but I don't feel like something should break out a person that much! What a bummer! And I told my husband I thought I had found THE facial sunblock for us for the summer! I'm unfortunately taking this to the beach with me this weekend b/c I have no other facial sunblock solutions, but am not looking forward to the face full of zits ahead of me! On the good side, this did keep me from burning. If it matters with a broken-out face!

Now this is one remarkable product!
A lightweight liquid with superior protection,
a natural finish,
not much discernable scent,
and feels like nothing after application.
I've used other products.. 'other' being an operative word:
most sunscreens are heavy..
but necessary.
Holy Grail? Most assuredly.
AND... no breakout!
They need a bigger bottle of this...

I was looking for a nice face sunscreen that I could use this summer that did not get heavy on my face. I saw commercials for L'Oreal's new Sublime Sun products and of course I ended up here to see if the products are actually good. This is the only one reviewed on MUA and had a good rating. I had never tried a liquid SS before so I was interested. I bought this on sale at target for about 7 bucks.
I've worn it for a week and it's a nice product. It absorbs super quickly and the fragrance of SS is not overbearing. It seems to have ingredients that actually protect against the sun. The only thing is this can give you a shine after a fear hours if you have oily skin and I do, but the shine isn't really that bad. This is my first liquid sunscreen and I'm very impressed and most likely will repurchased! Love this product.

Love this product.
I had used Clinique sunscreens over the years and have always disliked the greasy outcome they produce. And with sensitive skin, I'm always leery of new products, given the likely outcome of a major allergic skin issue.
However, this is like a dream come true for me. Light, non-greasy application, doesn't interfere with makeup or moisturizer, and protects my skin very well. I also like the packaging - it's easy for me to get the right amount for application without any waste.
I've been using this about a month and have nothing but good things to say about it.
Highly recommended.

A truly elegant product in application and texture. As a liquid you might be concerned that it isn't doing its job but with 50 SPF you are getting all day protection with the finish of a primer. Slight shine enhances makeup.; this has made my Laura Mercier mineral foundation look even better. On very humid days I don't use a moisturizer (why?) just a sunscreen and then my foundation. Other sunscreens were all too heavy and sticky - Neutrogena, CeraVe, Paula's Choice, Eucerin, Clinique - down the line. But this is a dream come true.

Im so surprised to like this. I cannot wear 99% of sunscreens out there because I have very oily skin and I'm breakout prone. I was first very scared of the ingredient stated, but something about this product that has kept my skin protected, with no adverse side affects. I've been wearing this for 2 solid weeks, and I'm loving this!! The price is insanely low for the quality and performance of this product. And the fact its water resistant is even better! I hope it doesnt get discontinued.
(Just don't get it near your eyes, it burns.)

*First Topic* is this the same one that was on the PC??
I really enjoyed the old zuma deluxe on the PC.. is this the same one or is it a new one?? and is it on blueray or a psn title???
i just bought this game, and it's for the psn. it cost $9.99. i've never played the PC version so i can't tell you if it is the exact same version or not. i looked on youtube for videos of it, and all i can say is that it looks very similar to it. ....but the version i bought on the ps3 (psn) only says zuma and not zuma deluxe. so it might not be the exact version.
As far as I can tell its the exact same version, just instead of a mouse you have a thumbstick for aiming. Still get buttons to fire and change marbles.
Which was first this or luxor ? this game seems to be a bite off that game or is it the other way around??
PSN:VegetaSSJ3420_____ Not changing sign till a new Parasite Eve comes out.
According to Popcap, Zuma came out December 2003 and Luxor was released in 2005, only difference is that Zuma your shooting from somewhere on the board (creates the challenge since sometimes your in the middle of a circle spiraling in or out, or have to do distance shots across the board) while Luxor your on the bottom shooting up and the challenge is the actual level designs (maybe speed, I never got very far because the easy levels are a snooze fest)
The only difference you'll find is that Zuma Deluxe on the PC does scores on a level by level basis for Gauntlet mode while console versions group all your scores together for one combined score for the leaderboards. I'm assuming you already know about trophies and using a PS3 controller, but I don't think that is new info.

Woman Found Dead in Keystone Lake, Car Crash Suspected
SAND SPRINGS, Okla. (AP) — The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says a woman has been found dead in Keystone Lake near Sand Springs.
Lieutenant George Brown says it appears the woman was driving on Highway 151 when she ran off the road Wednesday afternoon and her car rolled on the rocky bank.
Brown says investigators believe the woman suffered a head injury — then got out of the car and staggered to the edge of the lake where she either slipped and fell in or collapsed and fell.
The woman's name has not been released. Brown says her body will be sent to the state medical examiner to determine the cause of death — but that foul play is not suspec

Thailand's military junta said on Saturday it would detain former premier Yingluck Shinawatra and other ousted government leaders for up to a week, tightening its grip over the country following a coup that has provoked international outcry.
As sporadic protests flared in Bangkok, a senior military source said coup leader General Prayut Chan-O-Cha also had submitted a letter on his actions to the revered king, whose blessing has traditionally been sought to legitimise Thailand's recurring military takeovers.
Briefing the media for the first time since Prayut deposed the civilian government on Thursday to halt months of escalating political turmoil, the military declined to specify detainees' whereabouts but said they were in no danger. "They will be detained for up to one week depending on how directly they were involved (in Thailand's political tumult)," army spokesman Colonel Winthai Suvaree told reporters.
Prayut has "submitted a letter to the king concerning the coup" the military source said on condition of anonymity.
King Bhumibol Adulyadej, now 86, commands great respect among his subjects and his blessing for the coup would further strengthen Prayut's already formidable hand. No immediate response was seen.
United States suspends aid
Washington, which has led calls for a restoration of civilian rule, took its first concrete steps. It suspended $3.5 million in military assistance to its ally – about one-third of its Thai aid – and the State Department said it was considering further cuts.
Under the new regime, civil liberties have been curbed, media restrictions imposed, most of the constitution abrogated, and rival political protesters cleared from Bangkok's streets. A night-time curfew has tamed the capital's notoriously rowdy night-life, further chilling a vital tourist sector already cooled by the long-term strife.
Yingluck and dozens of other figures in the now-deposed government and her Puea Thai party – plus many of their fierce political rivals – were called in on Friday as the army corralled potential opponents of the coup. "She is under detention, and she is fine," Lieutenant General Thirachai Nakwanich, commander of the central Thai military zone that includes Bangkok, told AFP.
The detainees were taken in under a martial law provision allowing the military to hold people for up to seven days without charge, he said. It was not clear whether any charges were being prepared.
The army said 135 people had so far answered the summons, including Yingluck's successor – ousted caretaker prime minister Niwattumrong Boonsongpaisan. Most appear to have been Puea Thai members or allies.
Political analysts view the coup as the culmination of an effort by a Bangkok-based power elite – aligned with the monarchy and military – to eliminate a political threat embodied by Yingluck's elder brother Thaksin Shinawatra. Thaksin, a billionaire telecoms tycoon, shook up Thai politics by winning devotion among millions of rural poor with populist measures, catapulting him to prime minister in 2001 polls. He was deposed in 2006 in a military coup, fleeing abroad two years later to avoid a corruption conviction, but his family and allies continued his success at the ballot box as political temperatures rose.
The constitution was replaced after 2006 with one intended to curb Thaksin's electoral influence.
"This time, the constitutional changes will be more thorough," Thai politics analyst Paul Chambers said. He said measures could include "electoral gerrymandering, even more power granted to the judiciary, and finally – and most ominously – more power granted to the army."
Anti-Thaksin forces – alleging corruption in Yingluck's administration – have staged months of deadly Bangkok protests, triggering rival demonstrations by the pro-Thaksin "Red Shirt" movement. Tensions spiralled in early May with Yingluck's dismissal from office in a controversial court ruling that set the stage for the coup.
'We want democracy'
Anti-coup demonstrations have repeatedly flared in Bangkok, although no clashes have been reported. On Saturday, scores of people were blocked by troops as they sought to march in protest on an army installation. They later began marching to the city's landmark Victory Monument, where they planned to stage a rally.
"We are not Red Shirts. We just want democracy. We don't like the military," said one 45-year-old protester who identified himself only as Noi. An elderly woman held a sign reading: "Brave soldiers, return to your barracks. We want to vote".
The US, European Union (EU), United Nations (UN) Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, and major foreign investment source Japan have led calls for civilian control to be restored and free elections held. The junta has given no timetable for elections.
The "Red Shirts" had earlier warned a coup could trigger civil war but are yet to mount a clear response. There has so far been no sign of significant tank or troop deployments, in contrast to the 2006 coup. Ordinary Thais have offered mixed reactions to the takeover, with some protest-fatigued Bangkok residents welcoming stability, while others lamented the threat to democracy.
Thailand's democratic development has been repeatedly set back by 19 actual or attempted coups since 1932.

NEW YORK, April 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The restaurant chain TGI Friday's Inc., held by one of the world's largest family owned business enterprises, faces a national class action lawsuit for allegedly violating labor laws by systematically underpaying tipped workers, according to Outten & Golden LLP and Fitapelli & Schaffer, LLP.
The lawsuit, which alleges violations of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the New York Labor Law (NYLL), was filed by four former TGI Friday's workers from the New York metro area in New York federal court on behalf of current and former servers, bussers, runners, bartenders, barbacks, hosts, and other tipped workers at the restaurant chain.
According to the complaint, TGI Friday's requires tipped workers to arrive at work well before the start of customer service and to stay at work after the restaurant closes without receiving the minimum wages and overtime to which they are entitled under the FLSA and NYLL.
The lawsuit also accuses restaurant management of using a centralized time keeping system to "shave" hours from employee time records and allowing employees to work "off-the-clock" performing non-tip producing "side work" including cleaning the restaurant, preparing food in bulk for customers, cutting produce, refilling condiments, and stocking and replenishing the bar and service areas. At other restaurants, these duties customarily are assigned to "back-of-the-house" employees, who typically receive at least the full minimum wage rate of pay.
The lawsuit seeks to recover minimum wages, overtime compensation, spread-of-hours pay, misappropriated tips, uniform-related expenses, unlawful deductions, and other wages for current and former workers at TGI Friday's restaurants throughout the nation owned and/or operated by Carrollton, Texas-based Carlson Restaurants Inc., Carlson Restaurants Worldwide Inc., and TGI Friday's Inc. nationwide.
Justin M. Swartz and Sally J. Abrahamson, of Outten & Golden LLP's New York office, and Joseph A. Fitapelli and Brian S. Schaffer, of Fitapelli & Schaffer, LLP, of New York, represent the restaurant workers.
Attorney Justin M. Swartz said, "It is shameful for a big company to pay its hard-working, low-wage restaurant workers less than they earned. Maximizing profits is not all that should matter."
Attorney Brian Schaffer said, "We believe employees at many of the hundreds of TGI Friday's restaurants were affected by the companies' practices. We allege the labor violations occurred through manipulation of the restaurant chain's sophisticated timekeeping system, which is capable of tracking multiple job codes for different work assignments, and pressure by restaurant managers."
The case is "Jamel Flood, et al., v. Carlson Restaurants, Inc., et al.," U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, Case No. 14-CV-2740. More information is available at www.tgifridayslawsuit.com.
