AMD plummets after PC headwinds result in lower Q2 revenue view
Shares of semiconductor maker AMD (AMD) are sliding after the company reduced its second quarter revenue view. WHAT'S NEW: AMD lowered its Q2 revenue view to down 8% sequentially from a prior view of decreasing 3%, plus or minus 3% that the company gave with its first quarter earnings results back in April. The company attributed the decreased view for revenue to weaker than expected consumer PC demand. Along with its lower Q2 revenue view the chip maker lowered its Q2 non-GAAP gross margin view to approximately 28%, compared to the previous non-GAAP guidance of approximately 32% primarily due to a higher mix of Enterprise, Embedded and Semi-Custom segment sales and lower than anticipated Computing and Graphics segment APU unit volumes due to weaker than expected OEM PC product demand. WHAT'S NOTABLE: Shares of PC related stocks have been struggling recently after several research firms issued cautious views on the group. On May 19, Morgan Stanley said it was more cautious on PC names near-term, given PC and HDD inventory builds quarter-to-date and weaker April ODM sales. The firm's analyst team at the time said it continued to believe Q1 was a bottom in year-over-year growth, but now expects normal Q2 seasonal growth instead of above normal and thinks any recovery will likely be delayed until Q3. On June 23, JP Morgan issued a cautious note on hard disk drive makers Western Digital (WDC) and Seagate Technology (STX), citing continuing negative PC data. The firm said it saw little evidence that fundamentals in the PC space were improving, citing negative comments on PC demand from HP (HPQ), Avago (AVGO), and Micron (MU) over the last month. More recently, on June 25, chip maker Micron reported third quarter results and current quarter guidance below expectations, citing near term headwinds attributable to PC headwinds. PRICE ACTION: Shares of AMD are down over 14% in after-hours trading to $2.12. OTHERS TO WATCH: Other companies that may be exposed to PC weakness include Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), Intel Corporation (INTC), NVIDIA (NVDA), SanDisk (SNDK), and Apple (AAPL).

Micron plunges after Q3 results, guidance impacted by PC headwinds
Shares of PC related memory chip maker Micron Technology (MU) are plunging after reporting third quarter financial results and fourth quarter guidance that missed analyst expectations. WHAT'S NEW: After the close, Micron reported Q3 earnings per share of 54c on revenue of $3.85B, both shy of analyst estimates of 56c and $3.9B, respectively. Citing "near-term headwinds driven primarily by weakness in PC sector," Micron gave a fourth quarter revenue view of $3.45B-$3.7B which was significantly lower than analyst expectations of $4.16B. WHAT'S NOTABLE: On the company's earnings conference call, Micron said, consistent with prior expectations, "We are forecasting DRAM industry supply bit growth in the mid-20s in calendar 2015 and in the low-to-mid 20s in 2016." The company said it sees DRAM gross margins for Q4 down mid-single digits sequentially. Additionally, the chip maker said it sees Q4 DRAM bit growth flat to up low single digits. ANALYST TAKE: On June 22, Micron was downgraded to Sell from Neutral at Goldman Sachs. Goldman analyst Mark Delaney downgraded Micron Technology to Sell saying rising DRAM supply will lower selling prices and contract margins. Delaney expects DRAM prices to drop up to 30% over the next three quarters and cut his price target for shares to $19 from $27. On the same day, JP Morgan lowered its price target on Micron shares to $33 from $37. The firm also lowered its estimates for Micron citing lower than anticipated DRAM pricing in the past three months. The firm, however, kept an Overweight rating on Micron, saying improving demand in other segments like mobile and the company's decision to not hold inventory during Q3 should help offset the DRAM weakness. PRICE ACTION: Shares of Micron are lower by 11.5% in after- hours trading to $21.25. OTHER PC RELATED STOCKS: In after-hours trading, PC related chip makers are also lower, with Intel Corporation (INTC) down 0.9%, NVIDIA (NVDA) lower by 1.1%, and AMD (AMD) down fractionally. Others trading lower include Microsoft (MSFT), SanDisk (SNDK), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), and Seagate (STX).
Earnings Watch: Micron reports after multiple analysts recommend selling shares
Micron Technology (MU) is expected to report third quarter earnings after the close on Thursday, June 25, with a conference call scheduled for 4:30 pm EDT. Micron manufactures semiconductor devices, principally Dynamic Random Access Memory, or DRAM, NAND Flash and NOR Flash memory. EXPECTATIONS: Analysts are looking for earnings per share of 56c on revenue of $3.9B. The consensus range is 49c-65c for EPS on revenue of $3.73B-$4.03B, according to First Call. On its last earnings conference call, Micron guided for Q3 revenue of $3.85B-$4.05B. In terms of bit growth in Q3, the company said previously that it sees total DRAM up high single digits and Trade NAND down low single digits. In Q3 for ASP, the company forecast total DRAM down high single digits and Trade NAND up mid single digits. LAST QUARTER: On April 1, Micron reported Q2 adjusted EPS of 81c, against a consensus of 73c, on revenue of $4.17B, against a consensus of $4.15B. The company said then that it was allocating less production to its PC segment and shifting to faster growing areas, but also said it foresaw PC DRAM demand to improve in the second half of 2015. PEER: On April 15, SanDisk (SNDK) lowered it FY15 revenue view to $5.4B-$5.7B from $6.5B-$6.8B. At that time, SanDisk CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said the company was "disappointed" with its financial and operational performance and was taking "aggressive measures" to regain the type of execution it has delivered in the past, adding that its top priorities for 2015 are to strengthen its product roadmap and rebuild its momentum. NEWS: On May 5, Micron appointed Ernie Maddock as CFO and vice president, Finance, effective June 1. Maddock joined Micron after having served as EVP and CFO at Riverbed Technology (RVBD). STREET RESEARCH: On June 9, Piper Jaffray analyst Ruben Roy wrote that after conducting checks in Taiwan he expects the prices of PC DRAM to continue to decline. However, mobile and server DRAM pricing remains stable, as demand for those products is rising, the analyst stated. Roy lowered his estimates for Micron and trimmed his price target on the shares to $34 from $35 but kept an Overweight rating on the name. The same day, research firm Drexel Hamilton cut its rating on Micron to Sell from Hold, citing its belief that DRAM price declines are likely to continue. Samsung appears to be willing to accept lower memory prices and mobile DRAM prices are weakening, while PC DRAM prices have remained weak, the firm stated. As a result, Drexel lowered its margins and earnings estimates for Micron and slashed its price target on the stock to $20 from $30. Less than a week later, Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore downgraded Micron to Underweight, the firm's equivalent of a "Sell" rating. Moore said that his checks in Taiwan indicate that the outlook for DRAM is "cautious versus expectations" for the third quarter. Previously, the analyst had expected DRAM to experience a seasonal boost in Q3, but he now expects this lift to be delayed until at least Q4. Moreover, DRAM prices will probably stay weak through Q3 as customers' inventories of DRAM are excessive, while sales of PC DRAM will probably remain weak in Q3 and could stay low in Q4, the analyst stated. Micron could have difficulty improving its earnings in 2016 from current levels, warned the analyst, who set a $21 price target on the shares. The same day, Moore downgraded peer SanDisk to Equal Weight from Overweight and lowered his price target on those shares to $75 from $80. On June 19, Topeka upgraded Micron to Buy from Hold and increased its price target to $34 from $30. The firm came away from an investor site visit incrementally more confident regarding PC demand and related DRAM pricing. Topeka added that it expects investor confidence in Micron's ability to sustain margins though cycles to increase over the next few quarters as Micron executes. Earlier this week, Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delaney downgraded Micron to Sell from Neutral, saying rising DRAM supply will lower selling prices and contract margins. Delaney expects DRAM prices to drop up to 30% over the next three quarters and cut his price target for Micron shares to $19 from $27. PRICE ACTION: Over the last three months, shares of Micron have fallen over 9%. Ahead of its earnings report, Micron fell fractionally to trade near $24 per share at midday.

1. When will Mike Wallace report to training camp? This story is getting old real fast for Steelers fans. Mike Wallace still hasn't signed his one-year tender, which would pay him $2.742 million in non-guaranteed base salary. Wallace's teammates are optimistic that he'll be there sooner rather than later however. According to cornerback Ike Taylor, it's only a matter of time before Wallace reports to camp. "He's going to be there (training camp)," Taylor told Albert Buford of The Times-Picayune on Saturday. "They'll get it done. When you talk about that kind of money, it's not an overnight type of deal. By the end of the day, I think for sure he's going to get that thing done. Both sides are working together, so that's a good thing." Steelers fans can only hope that Taylor is right. Wallace has stated that he wants a long-term deal done, and the Steelers have maintained publicly throughout that they would like to lock their best receiver up long-term as well. Naturally, the hold...

District A-1 football notebook: Hennessey avoids logjam at quarterback
#8217;m looking forward to it." One of the standouts has been new quarterback Ryan Fuller, who saw significant time as a backup last year. And wide receiver Derrick Miles has been putting things together. "He's always been really talented, but he's always been a little inconsistent," Wardlaw said. "He's done a good job with that." The Whippets, who figure to battle it out with Hennessey for the district title, return six starters on defense. "Our defense should be able to help pick us up until our offense can come together," Wardlaw said.
Texhoma looking for breakoutWhile Hennessey and Okeene look to be the favorites for the district title, the district's coaches aren't ruling out Texhoma or Turpin from making runs as well. One of Texhoma's top returners is senior wide receiver J.D. Pugh, who burst into the spotlight in March when he helped the Red Devils to the Class A basketball finals. Pugh clinched Texhoma's overtime semifinal win over Okarche with a steal and layup in the final seconds. He scored all of Texhoma's overtime points. In football, though, Pugh is just as important for the Red Devils. The 6-foot-4 wideout had 356 yards and six touchdowns on 32 catches last season.
Extra pointsTurpin's Konner and Kiefer Hood are twins who helped the Cardinals' track team earn 400- and 1,600-meter relay titles. They're both three-year starters in football and basketball. ... Pioneer's Haden Hedges had 115 tackles last year, and Mustangs coach Ron Sunderland calls him one of the best athletes ever at Pioneer. ... Oklahoma Bible Academy returns RB Harrison Jackson, who ran for more than 1,000 yards last year. ... Beaver returns nine starters on each side of the ball.

Wade Barrett is the type of guy that you hate so much and yet you like him!(Got that from someone here in the forums)
It does show that WWE has plans for Barrett.
Printable View
Not true because the others are not exclusively fighting those in the main event scene. Barrett is made the leader the Nexus and is one with the personal strife with Cena (THE main event guy)
It appears that the WWE is pushing really hard to show Cena as a victim of circumstances in the buildup to Survivor Series which makes me think he will probably turn heel. Here are a few thoughts and unanswered questions.
Bells and whistles went off during the RAW segment with Piper lecturing him on doing the right thing.
Does it make sense to keep both Orton and Cena as faces?
There is no way Orton is getting out of Survivor Series without getting screwed by someone.
Does the identity of the secret RAW general manager figure into this angle?
If Cena turns heel, WWE will want to have him established long before Wrestlemania.
How do Otunga and R-Truth figure into this angle?
I cannot put all the pieces together, but I see a giant swerve happening at Survivor Series. What do you think?
I don't think Cena will turn yet.
There are people believing that Barrett will win but Miz is going to cash in. But that is one possiblity I can think of.
The would kill Wade Barrets career.
First off he needed help from the rest of Nexus in most of all his matches an then for him to win an lose it instantly to The Miz would just make him seem weak.

Image processing on the console
GIMP isn't the only option for photo manipulation. ImageMagick, a collection of command-line programs for image processing, can help you process multiple images in one go.
The holidays are over and your new digital camera is bursting at the seams. Before setting up a photo gallery on your website, you need to sort through the photos and put together a few preview shots. Normally, you would fire up GIMP, open a single photo, process it, resize it, and then save it, repeating this process until you have sorted through all your photos. This method could eat up hours of your busy weekend.

Virtual Villagers: A New Home
Puzzle FAQ by Dragon7398
Version: 1.0 | Updated: 11/11/07 | Printable Version
=========================================================================== VIRTUAL VILLAGERS CHAPTER 1 A NEW HOME PUZZLE WALKTHROUGH BY DARREL HUTCHINS VERSION 1.0 COPYRIGHT 2007 =========================================================================== This is my first FAQ, so don't get too frustrated with me, please. ;) I had noticed that there were FAQs and guides available for the second chapter of the Virtual Villagers game, but no FAQs dealing with the first installment. This FAQ is not meant as a general play walkthrough. Instead, it details every one of the 16 puzzles needed to beat the game. If you wish to have the challenge of solving these puzzles yourself, I must suggest that you RUN! Run away from this guide, and don't look back! If you only need small hints towards the goals, first check out the official hints available at: http://www.virtualvillagers.com/strategyguides/anewhome/index.html VERSION NOTES --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11/11/07: Version 1.0. Got bored, created FAQ, submitted it to GameFAQs. FAQ LAYOUT --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Each of the puzzles is marked with a search code. Puzzles are numbered in the order that the game shows them in the table, from 1 (top left corner) to 16 (bottom right corner). Note that due to the game's creators having a sick sense of humor, it is truly impossible to finish them in order from 1 to 16. The search code is in the format of: [PUZ-01]. This allows you to use CTRL - F (Find) to search for just the puzzle you need assistance with, if you only need help with one particular puzzle. And now, with all that out of the way... THE PUZZLES --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [PUZ-01] THE WELL NEEDED: Trainee (or higher) Builder This puzzle is the simplest of the 16 puzzles, and is even provided to you as part of the opening tutorial. Drag the Builder to the well in the village. They will uncover it, and solve the first puzzle. [PUZ-02] BUILDING A NEW HUT NEEDED: No special requirements. This puzzle is another simple puzzle. In the middle of the village is the partially completed hut. To solve this puzzle, simply finish building the hut. [PUZ-03] THE BEACH NEEDED: No special requirements. Another easy one to start off with. There is driftwood on the beach. Drag one or more builders to the wreckage, and allow them to clean it up. Once it is gone, this puzzle is solved. [PUZ-04] THE SCHOOL NEEDED: Master Scientist One of the more challenging initial ones, despite the fact that they tell you what to do. Drag the Scientist to the building just north of the research table. They will convert the building into a school, which gives small (very small) amounts of skill to new children. Now if there only weren't those child labor laws in the village... [PUZ-05] THE LAKE NEEDED: Level 2 Construction Once you have the needed level of Construction, drag a builder to the rocks that dam the lake. They will slowly remove the rocks. Once the rocks have been completely removed, the lake will return, and you will have solved this puzzle. [PUZ-06] THE FISH NEEDED: Puzzle 5 (The Lake) Level 3 Farming Master Farmer Drag your farmer into the lake. This may take a few times, but eventually, they will start to hunt a rare fish. This fish not only solves this puzzle, but it improves breeding. [PUZ-07] BURYING THE DEAD NEEDED: Level 2 Spirituality A dead villager Once a villager has died, with the required level of Spirituality, you can have their bones taken to the burial grounds, to be properly buried. It may take a few tries to drag someone to the corpse, as the sick, perverted people on the island try to embrace the dead body, but once they're done burying the body, the puzzle is solved. [PUZ-08] HERB MASTERY ...Why is this number 8? I always complete it second. Ahem. Anyways. On the edges of the village, there are several sorts of 'strange plants'. Drag a villager to each of them. Once they have gotten the message 'Your villagers now understand this herb!', drag them to the next plant. Once done, you will have solved this puzzle, and will have a boost to your healing abilities. [PUZ-09] THE FIELD NEEDED: Puzzle 5 (The Lake) A LOT of patience This puzzle always seems to take me an inordinant amount of time. Hopefully it will go by faster for you. Once the villagers have watered the field enough, the puzzle will be solved. [PUZ-10] FRUITLESS PLANT NEEDED: Puzzle 5 (The Lake) Puzzle 9 (The Field) Puzzle 11 (The Ruins) Puzzle 12 (The Idol) Puzzle 13 (The Golden Child) Puzzle 14 (Butterflies) The Golden Child After summoning the butterflies in Puzzle 14, bring the child to the plant that 'looks like it could produce fruit'. The butterflies will follow, and pollenate the plant, completing this puzzle. Now if we only knew why they required puzzles 11 through 14 to be done, in order to complete number 10... [PUZ-11] THE RUINS NEEDED: Not currently known. SPECULATED: Level 2 or 3 Spiritualism, Level 2 or 3 Construction. This puzzle involves letting a few builders loose on the ruins in the southeast portion of the island. Once they have rebuilt the ruins, this puzzle is completed. [PUZ-12] THE IDOL NEEDED: Puzzle 11 (The Ruins) Level 3 Spiritualism SPECULATED: Level 3 Construction Another building project. Bring your builders to the large rock in the northwest corner of the island. After a while, the idol will appear, and the puzzle will be completed. [PUZ-13] THE GOLDEN CHILD NEEDED: Puzzle 5 (The Lake) Puzzle 11 (The Ruins) Puzzle 12 (The Idol) A villager carrying their baby. SPECULATED: Level 3 Breeding, Level 3 Medicine. This puzzle is the most crucial to completing the remaining puzzles. Drag a villager with baby to the water. If the message says something like 'The baby reaches towards the water', complete the action, to create the golden child and complete this puzzle. Renaming the baby to Neo is optional. [PUZ-14] BUTTERFLIES NEEDED: Puzzle 5 (The Lake) Puzzle 9 (The Field) Puzzle 11 (The Ruins) Puzzle 12 (The Idol) Puzzle 13 (The Golden Child) The Golden Child Bring the golden child to the field. They will summon butterflies. Puzzle complete. No, really. It's that simple. [PUZ-15] BURIED TREASURE NEEDED: Master Builder SPECULATED: Construction Level 3 Bring the builder to a spot just to the left of the ruins. It may take a bit of moving around, dragging and dropping them, as there is no clue as to when you have hit the correct spot. Once they have found the spot, any villagers can be brought (regardless of Builder level) to help dig. Once the treasure is uncovered, the puzzle is completed. [PUZ-16] THE CAVE NEEDED: Puzzle 5 (The Lake) Puzzle 9 (The Field) Puzzle 11 (The Ruins) Puzzle 12 (The Idol) Puzzle 13 (The Golden Child) The Golden Child SPECULATED: Must complete the first 14 puzzles first. The golden child will eventually move near the cave, and start 'Meditating'. After a bit of time, the cave will magically open, completing this puzzle, and technically, completing the game.

Remember to include 'Virtual Villagers' in the title, so it'll be picked out from the rest of the spam I receive. This FAQ is brought to you by: ME! Okay, duh. Moving on. Last Day Of Work, without whom, this FAQ wouldn't exist. As well, their page of hints heavily assisted in making this FAQ, with reminding me of various requirements I might have otherwise missed. Want to be honored here? Well, there are plenty of things up above that are just speculated at. Verify the correct requirements, and e-mail me, and I'd be glad to honor you here.

Fairfax Media's largest shareholders, Gina Rinehart and her company Hancock Prospecting Pty. Ltd., could sell their 18.7% stake in the struggling media business if she is not offered board seats, Hancock Prospecting said in a statement provided to the Australian Broadcasting Corp.'s Four Corners program Monday night.
Mrs. Rinehart, the world's richest woman, has asked for three board seats and the right to hire and fire editors after boosting her stake in the company earlier this month.
A stumbling block to Mrs. Rinehart joining the board has been her refusal to be bound by the company's charter of editorial independence.
By Andrew Critchlow and David Rogers
Just how rich is Georgina "Gina" Rinehart?
According to the latest reckoning by Forbes, Ms. Rinehart–the mining mogul turned newspaper baron after her raid this week on a bigger share of the publisher of the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age–is worth a cool US$18 billion, up from US$9 billion last year.
That puts Ms. Rinehart in the big league of global billionaires and the richest women in the entire Asia-Pacific region, according to Forbes's latest findings.

Chicago Bulls All-Star center Joakim Noah has a foot injury and will not play against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night. Noah had platelet-rich plasma treatment on his right foot in February to treat plantar fasciitis and coach Tom Thibodeau said the injury has flared up. Thibodeau said Noah is day to day and is not likely to play Sunday at Minnesota. The coach did not say who will start in Noah's place for the Bulls, who have gone 8-14 since they had been 11 games over .500 at the end of January. Thibodeau had no update on Derrick Rose's return from knee surgery. Indiana's David West will miss his fourth straight game with a lower back injury.

Hey everyone.
So I have a horse, but don't want to sell him. I've grown out of him and want to get something bigger and more athletic that a dumpy cob. :P I have a sharer who contributes a small cost at the moment but she wants to loan him full term. So, what does anybody else pay for a full loan, or what does anyone else charge, as such.
I'm no expert on loaning at all, but from what i've always thought the 'owner' pays vet, insurance and farrier, and the 'loaner' pays the rest. Is this right? I'm confuzzled. If some poeple could let me know their arrangements it may help me plan something for my boy.
Thanks all!

Three-time Tony Award-winner Nathan Lane, fresh from his triumph in The Producers, will perform the title role in Butley, a dark comedy about the unfortunate life of a literary professor who suffers the loss of his wife and his lover all in one day.

Among these were paintings, watercolours, graphic works, sculptures, collages and other works of art that span his whole artistic career, all the way back to his childhood. The Erro Collection now consists of more than 4000 artworks and has a permanent residence at the Hafnarhus where it is presented with different retrospective exhibitions. Erro settled in Paris in 1958 and has held a great number of private exhibitions all over the world, and his works have been presented in an even larger number of group exhibitions. His art is represented in museums and public institutions in a number of countries worldwide.
The talk takes place in Icelandic.

An essay on the underrated scores of late composer James Horner.
When purchased in 2007 by Trump, the land was a conservation area, with sand dunes 4,000 years old and a mixture of ocean-shore environments. "We've had tremendous support from the environmentalists," Trump says to a TV interviewer, which is a bald-faced lie. We see spokesmen for U.K. environmental organizations who are bitterly opposed, and indeed his building permit was turned down by the local council before being restored by the Scottish Parliament on the grounds that it would bring jobs to the sparsely populated area.
But that isn't what's most fascinating about Anthony Baxter's one-man indie documentary. It's Donald Trump's almost joyous rudeness. The Donald loves playing a bad guy. One of his targets in the project are a few small farm homes that he fears would "spoil the view" of his luxury hotel guests. Having stayed at hotels in the area, I found the sight of farms added to my pleasure.
But listen to Trump describe Michael Forbes, a man who has refused to sell his strategically located land to the robber baron: "The man lives in a pig sty. He lives in garbage. He's a pig." Say what? Has Trump ever visited the Forbes farm or been inside his home? Not bloody likely. What we see is a farm, with machinery, outbuildings, chickens, ponies and no pigs. I imagine Trump's idea of beauty is the antiseptic tackiness of the tinfoil towers he erects around the world.
Trump's operation moves with cruel efficiency. Tons of sand are bulldozed from a virgin beach and piled up to create a small mountain blocking Forbes' view. His water and electricity are cut off, and when he visits the Trump site office, he is dismissed curtly. ("Is that an expensive camera?" Trump's man asks the director Baxter.) The local police later arrest Baxter and hold him in jail for four hours, on general principles. From what we see, they were unprovoked.
We visit and meet Forbes, whose meticulously trimmed mustache alone should raise doubts about his piggish existence — all right, I'll say it — especially in contrast to what David Letterman describes as "the thing that lives on Donald Trump's head." We also visit Susan Munro, who shows old movies of her father, a fisherman who lived on the very same spot, and David Milne, another indignant local. Local outrage inspires a protest march on the area. There's an uproar when a local university grants Trump an honorary degree; the school's former principal returns his own degree in protest. Trump proudly marches in with two hired bagpipers who hilariously accompany him everywhere he goes.
The underlying message is that if you are rich and powerful enough, you can run roughshod over tradition and private property rights and buy your place at the table. One 18-hole course of Trump's new development opened in July, but construction on the 450-room hotel has been halted. Trump's reason for the delay is priceless: He threatened to move the development elsewhere because the windmills of an offshore wind farm will spoil the view of his guests. He announced his decision at about the same time he commenced his bid for the U.S. presidential nomination.
Do the math. To tee up at the Trump course will cost around $310, about the same as the world's first and most famous golf course, the Old Course in nearby St. Andrews. How many rounds of golf do you need to sell to pay for a luxury hotel? Can he make a go of the project without the hotel? Construction remains on hold.

A Denver visitor filed a complaint against a Denver police officer for putting a pair of John McCain bumper stickers on his motorcycle. But more troubling, said Warren Jones, 32, a Grand Junction music teacher, was the intimidation he said he felt when he asked the officer about the sticker.
"He got very belligerent," said Jones, a Barack Obama supporter, about a Tuesday incident a block from the 16th Street Mall. The officer also refused to identify himself.
Lt. Ron Saunier, Denver police spokesman, said having a political sticker on a city vehicle is a violation of police policy.
"He is allowed to express his political views on his personal vehicle but not on city-owned property," Saunier said.
Jones said he received a phone call from a Denver police internal affairs sergeant who apologized and promised the problem would be dealt with. The officer's name was not released.

What Cardo says about it!
I just got a message back from Cardo Support. Here is what they say about it. It is kind of amazing (to me at least) because it gives another perspective on things as far as I am concerned. Read this about the Vox function and the settings:

The system is looking for a long drawn out sound, like a long "Hellllllloooooooo" that lasts for a longer time than you might feel is comfortable. Short sharp sounds that are yelled are not likely to trigger the intercom, such as yelling or screaming something like a quick "Hey!" The system is looking for a long drawn out human sounding word (it does not matter what word) in order to get its attention and for it to be able to tell the difference between you and whatever background noise there is. It normally does much better with some background noise, unless you change the settings, as you can now do on the G4.

Problem solving
Hakim Lahman envisioned a life tackling complex mathematical equations, but his own life, at times, didn't seem to add up. A career far removed from his passion. A long distance family relationship. Now, with his son, Faessal, at his side, he's living a dream that's been three decades in the making.
By Lee Rasizer, CCA Public Relations Coordinator
The lines of communication were always technically open between Hakim Lahman and his son Faessal. For nearly a decade Faessal considered himself a "phone father" as his son lived hundreds of miles away and they kept the cell towers buzzing.
Parental advice was offered. Teenage angst was voiced. Their numerous conversations were get-to-know-you sessions in abstentia.
The two had been separated in 2000: Hakim sought better wages with a move to Colorado; Faessal went to public school and spent a lost year at a Durham, N.C., community college, growing up faster than normal while he, his brother, Alexander, and divorced mother took care of an ill grandmother on disability and confined to her bed.
It was heart-wrenching but dutiful responsibilities for both kids.
But it wasn't until Faessal followed his brother's lead to Aurora to join their father that they realized there was additional suffering in their family.
The children were unaware that Hakim's trucking contract hadn't been renewed long ago, or that he was struggling month to month to hash together enough moving jobs to survive on meager hourly earnings. Faessal at the time viewed his kids as financial reinforcements coming to his rescue when they arrived in the state. They'd all get jobs; all get on track.
But Alexander soon would leave to pursue his passion in Judo. And Faessal had other ideas, too. He'd work to help out, but his priority was going to school. Too many of the people with whom he grew up had abandoned that possibility and seemed destined to a life of dead-end jobs. He'd steeled himself that it wasn't going to be him.
Faessal looked at Community College of Aurora as his education destination but it was, at first, deemed financially unfeasible.
"But," the youngest Lahman son recalled, "I refused to put the idea down."
Faessal remained steadfast in his arguments, telling his father he couldn't jeopardize his future. He laid out his case why school made the most sense,
"How can any father deny that?" Hakim responded.
Especially one with his particular life's tale to tell.
Dreams, like phone calls, can be at risk when put on hold. Dropped. Forgotten.
For most of 23 years, the hum of the road was the soundtrack for Hakim Lahman, the spinning wheels of his moving truck and sliding of furniture serving as muzak for a restless soul.
Problems and carefully packed boxes many times were stacked equally over more than two decades; his family the saving grace for a life he'd envisioned interrupted.
In high school in Oujda, Morocco, in 1979, Lahman had been something of a prodigy. He was handpicked to be a future pillar of the state's educational program after showing special abilities in Math and Physics. He'd study those two disciplines a combined 32 hours per week and not much else as one of his country's elite young minds.
Lahman would move on to attend the prestigious Université Mohammed V in the capital of Rabat, with curriculum steeped in such advanced theory that the professor might take nine straight months breaking down a single theorem from scratch.
Lahman recalled only 29 students out of 200 passing to a second term. He was one, and giddy to be.
Then, turmoil struck his country. A Socialist Party leader was killed by a member of the Islamic movement. Fighting between factions ensued. The Moroccan king declared a "white year," which, from an educational perspective, was like an executive do-over. No one advanced. The scholastic year repeated.
As turning points of life go, this one veered Lahman off wildly.
He'd join his sister in Canada but transcript problems meant he'd have to clear a test for college and need to prove himself in what were, for him, elementary math courses. He kicked around Montreal for four years; renewing his student visa but not attending classes the final two, instead filling big-rigs with gasoline in 20-below weather part of the time.
He was bored, upset -- and worse.
"I had already lost my heart," Lahman recalled tearfully.
He'd travel to New York and become a dishwasher, then a waiter. He moved to North Carolina and became a salesman, offering laser pictures door to door. He'd once again become a server at a Greek restaurant across the street in Raleigh from North Carolina State University.
"I used to take my break between jobs and hit the books," Hakim remembered. "That's what kept me sane. I'd never lost the touch."
And he never lost sight of his original goal in life.
"At the time," he said, "my dream was doing math."
He'd instead play family man for years. Get married. Two kids. Helped his then-wife, Ann, start a moving company, putting his own visions aside. One decade, then another, the divorce in between; the move to Colorado to better support his family.
His sons were his pride but his path in life hardly a joy, if grudgingly accepted.
One of Hakim's small consolations during that time in North Carolina was surrounding himself with people in academia. His best friend, not surprisingly, was a math teacher.
"I had unfinished business," Lahman said. "Regardless of what I did, it was not using all my potential. Yes, my mind was being used. I used physics to find a better way to load a truck or delegate leadership. There were ways to keep my mind sharp, but it wasn't enough. The mathematics was always what kept me sane. The higher difficulty, the better. But I needed to be humbled."
His downward spiral financially after moving to the Aurora area did just that.
Faessal's steadfast desire to attend college was the counterweight, stemming in large part from his father's fall through life's cracks.
"It's hard," the son maintained. "When someone tells you something like his story you feel pretty small. It's just like, 'Oh wow, I just went to public school and you went through all this stuff.' At the same time, it's almost like a crime to squander what I have because of what he went through.'"
Hakim nodded as his son spoke. "My struggle cannot be yours."
And it didn't have to be, as it turned out.
Each could have a piece of their dreams realized, together.
Finals were at hand in Faessal Lahman's Trigonometry class last fall at CCA. Sitting in the small one bedroom apartment that he shared with his father, he and a couple of his friends wondered how they would master the equations after an arduous semester.
"That's when the light bulb went off for me," Hakim Lahman remembered.
Hakim purchased a grease board and told the college students he would get them through their academic conundrum.
"That marker board was the most thrilling thing I ever bought," Hakim continued. "Because I was going to teach."
Not just teach, teach the one subject that consumed him.
His son and friends gave Hakim math problems. Hakim solved them and showed them the steps to reaching the correct answer. All three students passed their final.
"Did I get comfortable as a trucker? Did I want more? Yes," Hakim said in relating his emotions at the time. "But I lacked that extra motivation and got tired. I had two sons. There were bad economic times -- some of the worst. It was too much to handle. I just wanted to find a hole and hide for a little while. But you don't have that. So I just came out and said, 'This is it. This is my hole, and I better enjoy it.'
"But they took me out of the hole."
Hakim not only rediscovered his love of math but of service to others. He'd already made sure to keep his mind sharp by spending countless hours trying to educate himself.
"Barnes and Noble was my truck stop," he related.
But if his son and his friends didn't need help with their test, he would have been smarter but no happier.
"You will never be complete until you fulfill the things that keep you going," Hakim said. "Mine was a thirst for knowledge."
The week after helping with the Trigonometry, he talked to a CCA advisor and joined Faessal as a student at the college with a whole new plan to get a math degree and teach it to a younger generation of high school and community college students.
Hakim knew the subject matter well but if he was to serve American students, he needed to know what and how they studied. He did so not only by taking classes at CCA but by becoming a math tutor at Lowry on top of his class work.
"Being 51 years old and the economy the way it is, I've seen a lot of people that are very gifted and talented but need a little help. We have a lot of work to do, and I want to be part of that enterprise," he said.
Hakim has 47 credits so far, with a plan to accumulate a total of 80 before a potential transfer to the University of Northern Colorado or University of Colorado-Denver.
All those miles, and trials may potentially lead to contentment, far removed from his Morocco and Canada experiences.
"You got on this train and you're really happy to get on the train, but then the train suddenly stops and you have to get out," Hakim said of his journey. "The train leaves and you're stuck there in limbo, not knowing everybody and you only want for that train to come back.
"The train's come back. I got back onto the train and back into my comfort zone."
Faessal's doing exceptionally well fulfilling his college dream, too, with 63 credits while moving toward a computer science degree. He's rediscovered his father in the flesh and blood, not long distance. They live side by side; attend school floor by floor together.
Their timelines are such that the possibility may even exist that the pair graduates one after another on CCA's commencement stage.
"Oh, my God, that would be a milestone for me," Hakim said with a shake of his head.
"But you have a higher GPA than I do," Faessal interjected sheepishly.
"I'm not sorry for that," Hakim answered.
The pair broke into laughter, happily challenged.

1821 as a specific term in the sense "very rarely," perhaps suggesting something that, in fact, never happens (cf. at the Greek calends, and the native in the reign of Queen Dick and Saint Geoffrey's Day "Never, there being no saint of that name," reported in Grose (1788)); suggested earliest in this couplet from 1528:
Yf they say the mone is blewe,Though this might refer to calendrical calculations by the Church, so that the general sense of the term and the specific one (commonly misinterpreted as "second full moon in a calendar month," but actually a quarterly calculation) are difficult to disentangle. In either case, the sense of blue is obscure. Literal blue moons do sometimes occur under extreme atmospheric conditions.
We must beleve that it is true.

Is it possible to develop a Windows driver (specifically a PDF-like printer driver that displays the data on-screen instead of actually printing) without using Visual Studio? I'm thinking of using free C++ tools such as MinGW/gcc.

Both the Windows SDK and the Windows DDK come with the Visual C++ compiler. You don't need Visual Studio for this, though you may have some success with the free Express editions. I'd prefer this over MinGW anytime.
Your bigger problem is going to be displaying the data on-screen from a driver. Drivers run in the context of the spooler, which is a service and therefore can't display a UI. You're going to need a non-driver app running in the user's session to display the data. You could use pipes or even files to pass the data from the driver to the display app.
