Shutdown Taking Its Toll in Lost Revenue for Washington, D.C., Region
For the Washington metropolitan area, more than two weeks of federal government shutdown has meant millions in lost tax revenue that local governments say is eating a hole in their already fragile budgets.
For the Washington metropolitan area, more than two weeks of a federal government shutdown has meant millions in lost tax revenue that localities say is eating a hole in their already fragile budgets.
"We made extreme sacrifices over last few years to place our financial house in order, and having done so at a time that at least in Montgomery County (Md.) we thought that we'd see a light at the end of tunnel," County Executive Ike Leggett said Wednesday, referring to Montgomery's 10 percent cut in its workforce and budget cuts. "[Instead], the light that we see is an oncoming train by way of the sequester, by way of the shutdown and by way of a huge debate about the debt limit. All of those things adversely affect our communities."
The blow has primarily been to the tourism and hospitality industries in Washington, D.C. and its surrounding counties. The shutdown has not only stalled spending by furloughed workers; potential visitors to the region have cancelled trips. In D.C., hotel bookings are down 8.3 percent compared with the first week of October 2012, a loss of about $2 million in potential revenue, according D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray. Restaurant receipts are also down by around 8 percent, largely due to declines in breakfast and lunchtime business. The city's burgeoning food truck industry has been especially hit hard.
More coverage of the shutdown's impact on state and local governments.
"In some instances they've seen their business drop to nothing because they serve areas where there are federal buildings … where there are virtually no workers," Gray said.
In Montgomery County, home to 70,000 federal workers, Leggett estimates the county is taking a $500,000-a-day hit in potential income tax receipts and notes hotel tax and sales tax revenue collections are expected to be down. In Prince George's County (Md.), Executive Rushern Baker said 16 percent of the county's workforce is made up of federal workers, many of whom are furloughed. Many of the county's small and minority businesses that directly serve the federal government are dealing with lost business. Those shops now have to start considering laying people off because they don't know when the uncertainty will end, Baker said.
That uncertainty has plagued the region this year as Congressional stalemates have repeatedly stalled business in the metropolitan area. Fairfax County (Va.), home to about 25,000 federal civilian workers, faces a $25 million shortfall in its 2015 budget, said Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova. Meanwhile the sequester has already skimmed revenues in the county (which has the region's largest concentration of defense contractors) and the shutdown could push a $20 million shortfall in sales and licensing tax receipts into this year's budget.
The leaders stressed that the losses they have seen in the last two weeks are unlikely to be made up before the end of the fiscal year.
"Lost revenue is lost revenue," Bulova said.
The officials addressed reporters after meeting Wednesday morning in D.C. City Hall to discuss how the shutdown has been affecting their bottom lines. One mile down Pennsylvania Avenue, Congress scrambled to take up a bill that would reopen the federal government and push the debt limit debate to next year and prevent (at least for now) the U.S. from defaulting on its debts. To local leaders, however, such a solution prolongs their problem.
"I think the best thing that all of us can do and have done today is to demonstrate the real impact of what's going on, what the impact is on local governments, what the impact is on real people who are living in the metropolitan area," said Bulova. "This is irresponsible and it needs to end not just in the short term but there needs to be a resolution in the long term as well."

Charities are not doing enough to defend themselves over pay, conference hears
1 Jul 2015
Charities are not doing enough in response to attacks on chief executive pay, a Directory of Social Change...
Sorry for interrupting, but there is something we need to tell you...
We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website.
If you wish to restrict or block web browser cookies which are set on your device then you can do this through your browser settings, the Help function within your browser will tell you how.
From tomorrow (26 May 2012) the Information Commissioner's Office will enforce the law requiring all websites to inform users and obtain consent of cookies being placed on devices.
The Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive was introduced by the UK government on 26 May 2011, with organisations being given a one-year grace period before any enforcement of the law would begin. The ICO could now impose fines of up to £500,000 in the most serious cases, but will first issue organisations with warnings.
The sort of solutions organisations chose to implement depends on the type of cookies it uses and the complexity of the website.
Charities such as the Great Ormond Street Hospital, have now posted a banner to tell users there are cookies on the site directing them to a link to disable them.
Other organisations, however, are waiting to see how others implement changes and for further guidance from the ICO. Barnardo's told civilsociety.co.uk that this is what it is doing. Bob Darby, director of information services at the charity, said:
"Our approach is based on a detailed risk assessment that takes into account all factors including the loss of income that would result from pursuing full compliance."
He added that the charity was keeping the issue "under review" and would make necessary changes if internet browsers were upgraded to include consent functionality or if an industry standard emerges.
According to a recent survey of 2,000 people by the Internet Advisory Bureau UK, 90 per cent of the public want control of their privacy. However, only 37 per cent understood what cookies where, with 36 per cent being unaware of them and 28 per cent misunderstanding them.
The ICO has also today published guidance for the public, explaining what cookies are and how they can delete them as well as a link that people can use to report websites not complying with the law.
Charities have raised concerns about the potential impact after the changes to websites have been implemented.
Action Aid UK is currently deciding how it will comply with the legislation and a spokeswoman told civilsociety.co.uk that: "We are obviously concerned about the impact this is going to have on the use of non-intrusive analytics (the standard use of Google analytics for example) and the user experience."
She added: "We would be very worried if we were forced to request consent for all types of cookie because of the impact this will have on our fundraising and campaigning."
Under the legislation, websites that use cookies that are live for just one session, need not receive consent.
The RNIB has raised concerns that the implementation of solutions may make websites inaccessible to the blind and partially sited people.
Kelly Harrison, web and digital development manager at RNIB said: "If not implemented correctly, this law could make the internet a more difficult place for blind and partially sighted people to get around. Organisations may be able to comply with this law, but find themselves breaking the Equality Act."
The ICO warns that all organisations with a website "must be on the path to compliance". Dave Evans, from the ICO said: "This means that UK websites must provide visitors with sufficient information to make a decision on whether they are happy for a cookie to be placed on their device and obtain consent before placing a cookie."

bought last fall at 1.55 held through all the ups to 2.50, downs and ups and now right back where i started. great trader! i didn't think oil would stay so low for so long. wonder what, if anything, will pull it up
gpro is approaching the 200 day at or around 50.5 give or take. that'll be a level that must hold. could dip to 49's but if it pops right back above, we may be ok to buy.
he's the reason I'm holding. he really wants to make something happen.
people are so into themselves, this device plays right into that. i know people who have competitions with it. feels like it would be a 'sticky' product, like once you know you're stats you will want to keep knowing your stats. just mho
i think you put a few extra words in my mouth. i'm not selling. if nothing changes with the company's plans, i would buy more on any bigger dip.
minimal profit taking. my bet is it will close above 12 and resume upward in a day or 2.
but its not convenient for most to always have to have your phone on your person. plus I'd rather wear a cheaper, single purpose device than risk the phone getting damaged while exercising, etc.
sometimes the next big stock is the one you're already holding. i would watch pozn and try to get back in.
what was crazy was the ride up. this was bound to happen.
this transformation we are witnessing is very educational as an investor. you are witnessing what wall street likes in a company and their management. we saw it with jazz and hznp and now pozn.
you can't ask for much more than the performance of the stock in the last month. it has been incredible. needs to form a new base while waiting for the next catalyst. i sold at 32.80 because i bought at 18. just too much profit to not take. but i'll be watching to reenter.
broken truck, broken body but pozn has kept my spirits high. love making money on a good pick.
it sure is. I figured I would hold for a year so oil could recover and services also. but i'm not so sure now if keg is going to make it. might have to cut my losses before it gets worse.
you're right on fitbit. but to say Apple sucks is just wrong. Apple is an amazing company with amazing products and talent. let's hope fitbit comes even a little close to how great Apple is.
amazing and really fun to be invested in it. market cap still low too. i see it reaching 500mil before resting.
the employee options.
how do you get to that number? isn't it more like 4 times revs? still low in my book for a growth company but where does 1.1x ?
good, sensible post. agree completely.
look at twtr. unprofitable and really a stretch to become profitable and it has a market cap above 20 billion. at least fit is profitable and cash flow positive. better than most tech ipo's. looks like 30 is the tutes high buy point. thats where I bought. we'll see.
because it can't seem to hold above 40 for very long.

Supporting a high-quality image workflow in an extremely time-sensitive sports production environment, AJA Video Systems provided its full range of interconnect equipment to facilitate online coverage of the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games, held March 12-21 in Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia.
ParalympicSport.TV, the Internet TV channel of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), sent an editorial crew on-site that used AJA KONA, Ki Pro and Mini-Converters to enable a seamless broadcast workflow based on the Apple ProRes 422 codecs.
The IPC crew, led by broadcasting consultant Jochen Faerber, used 10 Apple Final Cut Pro workstations equipped with AJA KONA LHi video cards for editing. The systems were fed from the live events (captured with Panasonic P2 cameras), with embedded audio into the HD-SDI signal using AJA's HD10AMA Mini-Converters.
AJA's Io HD box was employed to edit some material in the field and to ensure the footage matched the Apple ProRes files recorded natively by the Ki Pros. The team used several AJA Ki Pro portable digital disk recorders to capture long live feeds directly to Apple ProRes files for archiving and to create cut-downs for TV and Web broadcasts.
The International Olympic Committee's Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBSV) produces the Paralympics. The IPC crew was located in the international broadcast center and received all HD signals produced by the OBSV, covering the alpine skiing, biathlon, cross-country skiing and ice sledge hockey events, as well as the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
During the Paralympic Games, ParalympicSport.TV streamed live coverage as well as summaries, news and highlights with English commentary. Any site worldwide could stream the Paralympics content on this unrestricted channel.
The IPC is an international non-profit organization formed and run by 161 National Paralympic Committees from five regions and four disability-specific international sports federations (IOSDs). The IPC headquarters and its management team are located in Bonn, Germany.

Alabama native had big impact on Thibodaux
Published: Friday, February 15, 2008 at 12:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2008 at 12:40 p.m.
THIBODAUX -- He fostered the spiritual, economic and civic growth of this city through his efforts as a Baptist minister, real-estate broker and member of several well-known boards. And, yet, through it all, he always found time for his Valentine.
Lenno Powell and his wife, Patsy, shared a love for God, nature and learning the intricacies of Cajun culture during their nearly 52-year marriage, the last 42 of which were spent in Thibodaux.
When Powell, 74, died Tuesday after a prolonged bout with pancreatic cancer, he left an indelible mark on the city and a devoted wife with whom he shared a lifetime of adventures. He also left two sons, Steven and John, and three grandchildren.
"Even though there were valleys and difficulties, we had mostly mountaintop experiences and joyous meetings of the minds," Powells wife said Thursday, attributing their longevity to an ability to "reach across the aisle" to come up with compromises.
Powell, a native of Malcolm, Ala., met his future wife, then Patsy Kelley, while they were both students at Mississippi College in Clinton, Miss. Prior to their meeting, he became an ordained minister at 18, shortly after graduating from high school.
Following his graduation from seminary, Powell and his wife moved to churches throughout Mississippi and Louisiana before landing at First Baptist Church in Thibodaux.
During the next few years, Powell forged relationships with clergy of multiple denominations, including Catholic priests, and supported local integration efforts. He is also credited as one of the co-founders of University Baptist Church in Thibodaux.
In 1972, he no longer had a flock to tend. His wife declined to go into specifics as to why he left First Baptist Church. She noted, however, the decision to leave allowed the couple to blossom in many areas, including spiritually.
In 1974, Powell opened his own real-estate business in Thibodaux. He later developed multiple subdivisions in the area.
Powell served as chairman of the state Real Estate Commission during the administration of former Gov. David Treen and president of the Bayou Board of Realtors. Powell, once a real-estate broker, finished his career as an appraiser and consultant.
Powell also belonged to the Thibodaux Kiwanis Club and Coastal Conservation Association, served at on the Board of Directors for the Bayou Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, as director of Rotary International and president of Nicholls State Universitys Century Club. He also co-founded the local chapter of Ducks Unlimited with his friend, Pearce Didier.
Powell, an avid hunter and fisherman, also embraced the culture and its causes, especially coastal restoration. His wife noted he became an LSU football fan late in his life. When she was too sick to watch the games, he paid close attention and gave her score updates.
"Weve really been a team all through life," Powells wife said.

Your question is far too vague.
But, I will take a stab at it.
1. People who have the ability to influence the minds of MANY. eg. TOP celebrities (more than a million+ followers)
2. People with political influence in KEY positions. Not to be confused with the top most positions. Often KEY positions are worked by people you never heard of and wont ever get to know.
3. People who fulfill requirements 1 and 2 above and are willing to sacrifice their very lives for the organization. This really doesn't differ much from your country's military or army. Basically, you pledge your soul's loyalty to the cause and credo.
4. And, actually the most important type of member; a person who has an actual link to 'ancient' bloodlines. I will let you figure this one out. But, just know that THIS person would easily outrank everyone else on the list so far.
5. A person with unique identifiable and provable talent and/or ability. This person ironically ranks last. He/she would serve as a tool/weapon for the group and would not technically exist as you know it.
They are considered fiction. But, are in truth living fact.
And, that's all I got.
You experts feel free to chime in.

Kaylle had just about enough of her employee, but decided to give him another chance. Besides I don't think wanted to fire because she did not have the chance to fuck him. He showed up late with more apologies and excuses. She was not putting up with it and made sure he knew it. She got him to do some small stuff to help her relax, but then told him about the incentive she had in mind. Kaylee started rubbing his crotch and asked if he was interested. Next thing you know her mouth is full of his cock. They moved inside and he laid down the law with his meat stick. She was loving it and didn't say much at all. He must been doing something right for that to happen. He hosed down her big tits and then she told him to get back to work.

Amanda, consider (if possible) getting a letter from your current employer attesting to your good attendance/punctuality record at your current job. That may sway someone who is thinking 'how do we know she's changed?'.
Also, you may want to consider taking whatever you can get at first. If you're trying to get rehired, it looks better not to be too picky, but to be so eager that you'll take anything just to get back on. Where I used to work, if a person turned down a promotion or special assignment because it wasn't to their specific liking, they were usually never offered anything again. We learned quickly to take what was offered and then work towards our 'ideal' job.

An approach for incremental refinement of disparity maps obtained from a dynamic stereo sequence of a static scene is presented. The approach has been implemented using a binocular stereo vision system mounted on a mobile robot. A robust least median of squares based algorithm is given for recovering the camera motion between successive viewpoints, which provides a self-calibration mechanism. The recovered motion is utilized for recursive disparity prediction and refinement using a robust Kalman filter model

How can you decorate a DOM node so that you add an event handler, but within the new handler you can call the previous handler?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I assume that you are binding events in the way
Yes, you can make a function that wraps previous event handlers and execute them sequentially, e.g.:
Check the above example here.
It depends on how you're adding your handlers, of course, but here's one old-fashioned way:
Your handler function would check it's parameter to see if it's not null.
You could of course get as fancy as you wanted to here. Note that most Javascript frameworks actually don't give your event handlers much information about other handlers. Generally it's a fragile pattern to work with that sort of relationship, but I suppose if you set out with a design that regularizes tthe handler setup, it could work fine.

What's the best SSD (solid-state drive) 2015? As prices start to drop and storage capacities increase, PC Advisor charts the best SSDs (solid-state drives) you can buy in the UK. The best SSDs for PC and laptop.
Best SSDs of 2015 UK: Buying advice
Solid-state is standard-issue for storing your data in tablets and smartphones, where it's relied upon for its tiny size and knock-proof nature. The same assets are handy in desktop and especially laptop PCs, but more traditional computers can also unlock SSDs' perhaps most prized virtue – their speed.
Instead of a fragile magnetised disk whirring at 90 or 120 times every second, SSDs store binary data in shock-resistant silicon chips. And besides being physically robust, silent, smaller and lighter than any hard-disk drive, the big incentive to opt for a flash drive remains performance. Data can be read and written hundreds of times faster from electronic non-volatile flash cells.
This speed factor is about so much more than go-faster bragging rights though. Old-school desktop computers may still battle it out over who has the fastest processor or the hottest graphics card, but SSD performance is all about the user experience – applications launch in almost no time, web pages spawn faster and files copy in a fraction of the time.
Put simply, and regardless of whether your processor has 3, 5 or 7 after the 'i', the whole computer just responds so much better to your touch. The only real drawback has been the exortionate price of entry to the premier-class storage club.
Until now maybe. It's taken six years or more, but we are now at the state where the solid-state drive, the SSD, is a truly affordable component for any computer user. And if your wallet won't even stretch to £100, just juggle your storage budget instead and get a 256GB drive.
Performance has swelled over the years – not just in the drag-race test of copying big files, but crucially with the way that small files can transfer. Much of the background housekeeping of a modern operating system is with the continual reading and writing of very small files of 4kB or smaller. It's the random access of these all over the platters that can choke older disks that need to physically move a pickup head across spinning platters.
We've reached a point where just about any SSD you put into a computer to replace a hard disk will transform your experience. For performance seekers, there's still a case for finding the fastest. And that fastest metric is still as much about small-file transfers, which we can measure by the number of input and output operations capable in one second – otherwise known as IOPS. The best SATA flash drives are currently returning figures around 100,000 IOPS, made possible by the way that datastreams can be paralleled together, a major asset of flash over disks.
Performance – in terms of the speed with which data can be read and written – has now effectively plateaued among the best SSDs. It's not that flash memory has reached its limit, far from it, but the Serial ATA interface between the flash and your computer is now the bottleneck.
Until the next-generation of data interface is ratified, most PCs still use SATA Revision 3 with its 6Gb/s nominal speed, and circa-550MB/s real-world ceiling. Nevertheless, some are forging ahead with alternatives, notably Apple with its adoption of direct PCIe-connected flash drives in its Macs. This busts the old SATA limit to allow speeds of 700MB/s and more on even its cheapest MacBook Air.
Despite current SATA SSDs' shortcomings, we still test the essential speed, both in large-file sequential transfers and small-file random access, as differences do exist between brands and models.
When buying an SSD, look out for long warranties and high data-write limits if you prize data integrity, although with the help of proper backup routines, data loss is less an issue today. Some SSDs demand more power than others, and where this is known we'd advise against fitting in a laptop if you value your time away from the mains. Also look out for manufacturers that provide accessible support with firmware updates possible on the platform of your choice. Most storage brands are still routed in the Wintel world and don't make it easy to apply maintenance patches on their drives unless you run Windows.
Best SSDs of 2015 UK: How we test
Each SSD was benchtested on a desktop PC kindly loaned by Chillblast, based on an Asus Z87-A motherboard with Intel Core i7-4770K and 8GB RAM, running Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit. We assessed most aspects of a drive's performance with industry-standard benchmark tests for Windows, namely ATTO Disk Benchmark, HD Tune Pro, HD Tach, CrystalDiskMark and AS SSD.
Measured speeds for storage products are typically in megabytes per second (MB/s) for large files; and input/output operations per second (IOPS) for paralleled small-file transfers.
Best SSDs of 2015 UK: Conclusion
Sometimes group tests of related products elicit one or two clear winners, making these the natural choice in terms of value or performance. This isn't one of those tests.
In terms of performance, any SSD here will transform a disk-based PC. They will all merrily let you read the entire contents of a 25GB Blu-ray film in less than a minute. They should all allow even Photoshop to launch in just a few seconds. The deciding factors are increasingly now about longevity and price.
Solid-state flash cells will age and wear out, but limited lifespan is a reality of hard disk drives, too, and after some serious concerns in flash technology's early days, we can be reasonably certain that even with very heavy use, the typical user – even a professional designer, for instance – is unlikely to wear out an SSD inside five years.
Most people are conscious of cost and won't spend more than is logically necessary, so on that basis, we must point to the best value drives in this group, namely the Seagate 600 and Crucial M550. At the time of writing, these were both priced around 40p per gigabyte, a most attractive offer – especially when compared to the £2 per gigabyte figures of just a couple of years ago.
For the best performance, the Crucial M550 also stands up well, along with the Intel 730 and OCZ Vector 150. Special mention must also go to two drives not in this group, the Samsung 840 Pro and 840 EVO (tinyurl.com/l5edqoy), which offer superb performance at competitive prices. With prices fluctuating weekly, it pays to shop around. By the time you read this group test, this already tempting upgrade may have hit the 30p per gigabyte level.
What's the best SSD 2015 UK: Best SSD 2015 UK
12. Samsung 840 Pro 512GB
- Reviewed on: 22 May 13
- RRP: £370 inc VAT
- Rating:
There's little doubt that when working correctly the Samsung 840 Pro is one of the top consumer solid-state drives available today. Pricing is very competitive and the essential small-file IOPS performance is on the money too.
Read our Samsung 840 Pro 512GB review.
11. Samsung 840 EVO mSATA 500 GB
- Reviewed on: 21 January 14
- RRP: £402 inc. VAT
- Rating:
The Samsung 840 EVO in its miniaturised mSATA form remains a force to be reckoned with. It effectively met the performance of the Samsung 840 EVO we first tested last year, and in some metrics was found to slightly exceed those results. If you're looking for a high-performance mSATA SSD for your laptop, PC or storage product we have to concede this little drive really delivers.
Read our Samsung 840 EVO mSATA 500 GB review.
10. Plextor M5 Pro
- Reviewed on: 21 May 13
- RRP: £174 inc VAT
- Rating:
Performance and the quality assurance look to be right up near the top, yet the Plextor M5 Pro is about the cheapest high-performance drive in our recent group test group. With those worthy attributes, it deserves our Best Buy award from a talented group of overachievers.
Read our Plextor M5 Pro review.
9. Intel 730 Series SSD 480 GB
- Reviewed on: 1 June 14
- Rating:
Overall, the 730 Series is the most expensive drive on test per gigabyte, but if you want speed at the SATA limit and a formal guarantee of endurance, the Intel SSD will deliver both.
Read our Intel 730 Series SSD 480 GB review.
8. Toshiba Q Series Pro 512 GB
- Reviewed on: 1 June 14
- Rating:
The Toshiba Q Series Pro performs close enough to the original Q Series SSD that it can be hard to separate them. We note that Toshiba has expanded its warranty terms, and will now guarantee its Q Series SSD for three years rather than just one.
Read our Toshiba Q Series Pro 512 GB review.
7. Sandisk Extreme II SSD
- Reviewed on: 1 June 14
- RRP: £129 inc. VAT
- Rating:
The SanDisk Extreme II would have stood out as a well-balanced high-performance SSD among its peers 12 months ago. It still does and now additionally benefits from keen pricing.
Read our Sandisk Extreme II SSD review.
6. Fujifilm HQ-PC Series 512GB
- Reviewed on: 30 October 14
- RRP: £349 inc. VAT
- Rating:
The Fujifilm HQ-PC Series 512GB is a fast and well-mannered solid-state drive, following the solid design of the Toshiba THNSN SSD upon which it appears to be based. With quality assured, it can come down to price to choose which model to buy. Fujifilm's web shop price is £348.90 for its largest 512 GB model, although you can currently buy the same drive from LambdaTek for £215, making it a much more attractive proposition that undercuts the price of even the Toshiba from most outlets.
Read our Fujifilm HQ-PC Series 512GB review.
5. Seagate 600 SSD
- Reviewed on: 1 June 14
- RRP: Around £200 for 240GB model
- Rating:
The Seagate 600 SSD is a good value, but high-performance solid?state drive. Now over one year old, it's available at very competitive prices, which work out at a very reasonable 42p per gigabyte for the larger-capacity 480GB capacity model.
Read our Seagate 600 SSD review.
4. Samsung 840 EVO 750GB
- Reviewed on: 19 August 13
- RRP: £415.99 inc VAT
- Rating:
The Samsung 840 EVO 750GB is a triumph in solid-state technology, combining for the first time vast capacity by flash standards, with lightning performance, and at an approachable price. Smart data juggling tactics keeps its data moving briskly in real-world daily tasks, to the great benefit of any user lucky to have this drive as their computer's beating heart.
Read our Samsung 840 EVO 750GB review.
3. Crucial M500
- Reviewed on: 21 May 13
- RRP: £320 inc VAT
- Rating:
Crucial has returned to the hit list of must-have SSDs with its M500. Not because it's the fastest but because it has great multi-platform PC support, a good balance of large- and small-file transfer speeds, and an attractive price without relying on slower performance three-layer cell (TLC) flash technology. And if it's terabyte-class flash SATA storage you're looking for, it's currently the only player in town.
Read our Crucial M500 review.
2. OCZ Vector 150 240 GB
- Reviewed on: 1 June 14
- Rating:
The OCZ Vector 150 is a solid-feeling and impressively performing SSD. It compares well with Intel's latest performance drive, yet is closer to 50p per gigabyte rather than 75p. At that price, it deserves a strong recommendation.
Read our OCZ Vector 150 240 GB review.
1. Crucial M550 1 TB
- Reviewed on: 1 June 14
- Rating:
Crucial's new M550 has significantly pushed up performance. Most importantly, this new model signposts the trend in falling SSD prices, bringing potentially huge capacities within affordable reach.

Depending on the type of meat that is being used, cold cut deli meats can last anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks. Meats that have been opened will not last as long as meats that have not been opened or disrupted.Know More
Fresh deli meats last the shortest amount of time when they are in the refrigerator because they are not vacuum sealed. They can be expected to last around 5 to 6 days before they begin to go bad. Meats that have been prepackaged can last in the refrigerator for around 7 to 10 days, whether they are opened or unopened.
Bologna, which is similar to other prepackaged lunch meats, can remain in the fridge for 1 to 2 weeks and will begin to give an offensive odor when it is no longer safe to eat. Hard salami and pepperoni can last for around 2 to 4 weeks depending on whether it is opened or unopened. Cold cut meats can last for up to 8 months when they are placed in the freezer.
The easiest way to tell if a meat is bad is to perform an odor test. If the meat smells rancid or gives an unusual scent, it is probably not safe for human consumption. Rotten meat will commonly smell sour, similar to rotten milk.Learn more about Food Storage
Refrigerated cooked shrimp lasts up to 4 days when stored in the coldest part of the refrigerator away from the door. Cooked shrimp should be completely cooled and refrigerated within 2 hours of cooking, using an airtight food storage bag or container.Full Answer >
Hamburger, like other raw ground meats, can be refrigerated for 1 to 2 days in a refrigerator set to 40 Fahrenheit or below. The cooler temperature helps slow the growth of bacteria, though it doesn't completely stop it.Full Answer >
Smoked turkey lasts in the refrigerator for three days, once the meat is removed from the bone. The meat keeps for up to six months in the freezer.Full Answer >
Uncooked chicken can safely stay in the fridge for only one to two days after its sell-by date before its condition starts to deteriorate. Raw chicken can last longer when it is placed in a freezer, which increases its usage time to up to nine months.Full Answer >

Got girls in the club with their lace front swinging
from Gucci Mane (Ft. Chris Brown & Lil Wayne) – Cyeah Lyrics on Genius
Lace Front Wigs are often worn by celebrities (Search "Ciara Lace Front") and are used to bring a fuller look to hair and give their natural hair a break. Chris is implying that his songs cause girls that hear them in the club to dance emphatically, causing their hair (fake as it may be) to swing back and forth.

Edouard works as associate professor at the Division of Combustion Physics. His research is based on the development and application of novel laser techniques for spray characterization. In parallel to this experimental work he is also involved in the computational modeling of photons transport through complex inhomogeneous and polydisperse scattering media, such as spray systems, by means of Monte Carlo simulation.
Edouard Berrocal received his Ph.D. degree in 2007 from the School of Engineering at Cranfield University (England). He was supervised by Dr. Meglinski, investigating the multiple scattering of light in optical diagnostics of dense sprays and other turbid media. After his thesis submission he was enrolled during 4 years as post-doctorant at the Division of Combustion Physics, working together with Prof. Mark Linne on the application of Ballistic Imaging to dense fuel sprays. The years 2011-2014 he was assistant professor and is now an associate professor.

Well, fortune was smiling on me last week, and I got a hold of data for Target opening dates and locations (thnx, Cole). So here it is - a map that shows the growth of Target from 1962 through 2008.Nathan has promised to combine the data from this map with his previous work mapping The Growth of WalMart, into one map where you can see the differences. So we'll keep our eyes out for that.

The advantages to players are that you can see places to avoid (areas with the highest deaths), and the locations from where the most kills come from. The map above shows the total data for the map called The Pit. But you can narrow down the information based on the type of weapon used. For example the map below shows the locations of the kills made with the sniper rifle. Meaning that shooting from these locations have been the most successful. (Also helpful if you keep getting killed by snipers and can't find them)
"Heatmaps are the Doppler Radar System of Death in Halo 3. We're tracking encounters, weapons used and their results in a given game, collecting that data and sharing it with players visually.

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Access media files from any location while enjoying the security, privacy and unlimited storage of a personal server with Tonido. Developed by CodeLathe, the leader in personal cloud software and services, Tonido lets individuals watch videos, listen to music, see photos and open documents that are stored on their computer right from their mobile iOS device. Users can now share their personal media without worrying about the privacy and security of their data.

"The Tonido iPhone/iPad app is the result of a development team that strived to bring users an enhanced experience through pleasing aesthetics and effortless remote access and sharing. It is extremely simple to use and is perhaps one of the most functional and beautiful apps on the iTunes App Store. Tonido also supports a wide range of video and audio formats including MKV and FLAC. It is a must have app for anybody who has a large digital media collection," said Anis Abdul, CTO of CodeLathe.
Tonido offers users secure access to their home computer's entire collection of documents, photos, music and videos from anywhere without having to upload it to a public cloud service. Individuals begin by downloading the free Tonido server app on their desktop and the free mobile app onto their iOS device. Employing smart LAN switching technology to use gigabit access speed within home LAN networks, the app safely connects users to the documents stored on their desktop in seconds. Users can also access their files via WiFi or 3G mobile networks, backup their photos and videos from their iPhone/iPad to their Tonido personal cloud, and download files for offline viewing.
"More than ever, customers are realizing that their personal data is no longer safe and secure in popular online services and they're turning towards personal cloud services like Tonido for their remote access and sharing needs. Increasingly, leading public cloud services are using user's personal data stored in their servers as a new source of income. These aggressive monetization efforts put the integrity of personal data at grave risk. In truth, there is no guarantee on privacy of personal data once it leaves an individual's device or computer. Thankfully, customers have an alternative choice in Tonido, one that provides easy access to their personal data from any iOS device, just like a public cloud, but without sacrificing the data ownership," said Madhan Kanagavel, CEO of CodeLathe.
Tonido Features
- Automatic, multi-format live video transcoding and streaming (including MOV, MP4, M4V, MPG, MPEG, AVI, VOB, MKV, WMV, XVID, FLV, SWF, OGG, GP3, MTS, M2TS). Requires no manual conversion of video files for playback
- Automatic multi-format music streaming and playlist support (including FLAC, OGG, WMA, MP3, and more)
- Tonido companion server apps are available for all computer platforms: Windows, Mac OSX and Linux
- Plug- and-Play remote access. No fiddling with router settings
- Easy to remember web URL access to your computer
- Stream Music and Videos to Apple TV using Airplay
The Tonido server app is available for free download at http://www.tonido.com.
The Tonido iOS app is available for free on the iTunes App Store at:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tonido-file-access-music-video/id388726418?mt=8.

Clearwater County Sheriff's Department, Nez Perce County Tribal Police: Stop protecting animal abusers and start enforcing the law
A family in North Idaho that is notorious for letting their dogs die on chains and leaving their horses in small pens, knee-deep in their own feces and reduced to skin and bones from hunger, has had numerous horses die in the last month from starvation and neglect. The animals had no shelter from the cold and died in the mud and snow, cold and in pain.
The Nezperce County Tribal Police were aware of the horrendous conditions and worked at a snail's pace to do anything about it, constantly passing the case from one officer to the next, doing nothing productive to help the animals. Two adult horses died while under their jurisdiction, even though a highly recognized and respected animal rescue group was standing by and ready to take the horses to live a safe and happy life in a sanctuary. The police were completely ineffective and did nothing as the horses were moved by the owners to a friend's property in a different county in an attempt to hide them.
It was in Clearwater County that the youngest horse, an eight month old colt, died of malnutrition and neglect. Even though the local Sheriff's Department had received numerous calls from community members about the conditions of the animals, nothing was done. On the day that the baby horse was found dead, a concerned citizen called the Clearwater County Sheriff's Department where the dispatcher was rude, refused to give her name, wouldn't pass the call off to her supervisor, and then hung up on the caller.
Why is nothing being done to help these animals? Why aren't the authorities enforcing the laws? Why are tax-paying citizens having their calls purposely disconnected when they call with their concerns?
It's time to fight back for these animals! Tell these police departments that cruelty to animals is a crime and you want the laws enforced!
CCSD - why has your dispatcher been rude to almost every person that has called to report the abuse/neglect? Why was a taxpayer's phone call disconnected? Your actions tell us that you don't care about enforcing all of the laws, only the laws that benefit you.
Why was this case passed from one officer to the next in both counties?
It's time to clean up our community. Enough is enough. Please start enforcing the laws and doing your job to protect our community from criminals.

UPDATE, 3:45 p.m. - An initial investigation into the death of 53-year-old Stevens Anderson of Morris indicates Anderson was separated from his party while snowmobiling on Togwotee Mountain in Teton County, Wyoming on Wednesday when he struck a tree, suffering fatal injuries. A preliminary assessment from the Teton County Coroner's Office said it appears Anderson died as a result of a broken neck. We'll continue to update this story as more information becomes available. Original Story MORRIS, Minn.
MORRIS, Minn. - The Morris City Council approved submitting a grant application for a Community Forest Bonding Grant from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources that would allow the city to plant more than 230 trees over the next three years.
MORRIS, Minn. - The City of Morris may face a $52,000 cut in Local Government Aid for 2013 if the Minnesota Legislature does not make adjustments to the way LGA is distributed, the Morris City Council learned at their meeting Tuesday. In his report to the council, City Manager Blaine Hill (who was not at Tuesday's meeting), said, "Apparently, the [total] LGA funding from the state will be the same, but the way it is given out through the formula will be different.
MORRIS, Minn. - United States veterans, who make up between seven and eight percent of the U.S. population, should not be expected to sacrifice more through federal budget cuts to the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, American Legion National Commander Fang Wong told a group of more than 60 veterans and local residents over dinner at the American Legion in Morris on Tuesday.
MORRIS, Minn. - The University of Minnesota's Legislative Briefing to supporters last week, in preparation for the 2012 legislative session, was light on details about the university's $169.5 million capitol request, instead focusing on the importance of storytelling in an age of new media.
MORRIS, Minn. - The Stevens County Board of Commissioners IT Director Scott Busche to move forward with a $4,300 software purchase that will help improve the county's ability to make files available electronically at their meeting Tuesday. The new software contains a workflow package, which will allow larger departments like Human Services, to more efficiently work through the process of digitizing files. Busche told the board that moving to a new file system would be much less expensive than updating the current program.
MORRIS, Minn. - The Stevens County Board of Commissioners approved an amended 2012 budget, which included budgeted expenses in the special revenue fund and the newly-created West Central SWAT Fund, at their meeting Tuesday.

MORRIS, Minn. - Stevens County Republicans were joined by Rep. Torrey Westrom and Sen. Bill Ingebrigtsen at their caucus Tuesday night, where a majority of delegates voted for Rick Santorum in the presidential straw poll. Stevens County DFL supporters overwhelmingly supported Barack Obama. Around 120 people attended the Republican caucus at the Prairie Inn, said county party chair Dan Pagel. Of the 101 votes cast in the presidential straw poll, 51 went to Santorum, 25 to Ron Paul, 14 to Mitt Romney, 10 to Newt Gingrich and one person was undecided.
MORRIS, Minn. - Five students from Morris Area High School's chapter of Family, Career, Community Leaders of America competed in their first regional competition last Friday in Ortonville, and all five will be advancing to the state competition in April. FCCLA, founded in 1945, supports students and their Family and Consumer Science (FACS) education.
I spent the first part of 2011 living in Madison, Wisc. If you were paying attention to politics from Wisconsin last year, you know that it was a tumultuous time. One particular measure that made me angry that I fear is being repeated here in Minnesota is a push to require photo IDs to vote. You can learn more about the measure in a linked story by our capitol reporter. I'm not opposed to the idea that people should need to prove their identity when they show up at the pools, and a photo ID is probably the best day to do that.

An Aiken man was charged with reckless driving after nearly causing an accident when he fled a city administration building, where he reportedly caused a disturbance, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
An officer saw a vehicle exit the drive-through window of the Administration and Finance Building at a high rate of speed, nearly striking the patrol car, according to an incident report. The vehicle accelerated and cut in front of a pickup, then ran the stop sign from Hayne Avenue onto Laurens Street.
The 63-year-old suspect tried to write a check to pay a bill at the city building, but was told he could only pay with cash because he previously wrote a bad check, the report stated. He became irate, and was told by employees to come into the building because the drive-through was for express only.
The man told the employees he couldnt bring his dog inside, and there was no one behind him in the drive-through, so he was staying there, police said. When asked again to come inside, the man yelled obscenities at the employees, then drove off.
When officers confronted the man at his home, he expressed anger at women getting positions of power, police said.
(The suspect) then stated that women are trained to deliberately provoke men into getting upset and then have them arrested, the report stated.
