5 Free Operating Systems You Maybe Never Realized Existed
Your operating system is undoubtedly the most important bit of software you will ever install. Without one, that expensive box of microchips and silicon in the corner is pretty much useless. Most of us can't do without a copy of Windows or
Mac OS
, but there are countless users worldwide who make do with a free option.
Even if you're firmly based in the Microsoft or Apple camp, taking a walk on the wild side and
installing a secondary computer operating system
can still be worth the effort. After all, variety is the spice of life.
Here are just a few of the lesser-known free options that might just be worth a go, if you're that way inclined.
Another Linux-based operating system, Freespire uses the popular
(version 7.04) at its core and stamps its own mark on the
open source
OS. With the popular
KDE suite
at hand, users of Windows and Mac OS will feel right at home finding their way around.
Freespire adds the power of the CNR Plugin, allowing fast and easy one-click installs of popular software suites including some commercial ventures. There are enhanced 'modified' versions of programs you're probably already using (like
) to make life on the free side that little bit sweeter.
This freeware open source effort also comes complete with on-demand proprietary
(including one for Windows Media files) and a whole host of proprietary drivers for your wireless, graphics card and more.
For a powerful, ready-to-go Linux distribution with a difference Freespire does the job quite nicely.
Google's Chromium
If you only use your netbook for the net (which probably makes sense) then Google's Chromium might be just what you need. The lightning fast startup time means you'll be checking email, social media and wasting time online before Windows has even reached its login screen.
Best of all you can run it straight from a USB stick, making it ultra-portable between PCs. We've shown you how,
right here
The current official builds can be a bit of a hassle to get going on a lot of computers, but a nice guy by the name of
has compiled his own build called Flow which adds vastly improved hardware support. Check out
our how-to
for a complete set of instructions.
That old laptop sitting in a cupboard might find a new lease of life with the help of Chromium and its
web apps
Many of you will have heard of BSD, one of the many UNIX-based operating systems floating around the web. Often favoured for its secure and reliable nature, the team at PC-BSD have aimed high and developed a user-friendly version aimed at the 'casual' user.
The idea behind PC-BSD is to provide users with a complete desktop operating system that doesn't require resource-intensive protection against viruses and spyware. In today's computing world, many of us dream of such a charm.
The release runs
at its core, and expands on this with unparalleled ease-of-use. Self-installing software packages make adding extras a breeze, and the desktop can be sexed-up with fancy 3D effects and transitions.
The team behind this OS just wants you to enjoy more of the time you spend at your PC, and less time worrying about it.
Inspired by BeOS (and implementing certain features and bits of code from the old operating system) Haiku is an open source operating system aimed at personal computing. This makes it extremely user-friendly, as the primary audience are average users like you or me, looking for a way to get our daily computer needs tended to.
What makes Haiku different to other UNIX-based operating systems (specifically
) is its vision to provide a unified experience, rather than using multiple layers of software that can often over-complicate the computer operating system.
Haiku does not use the Linux
but a custom-built one which has been designed for responsiveness. Couple this with a threaded design for increased performance on multi-core processors, and the whole package begins to look quite appealing.
owners listen up! This might be the one you've been waiting for. A simple operating system, aimed at armchair surfers who live for the web.
Incorporating a quick and easy one-click-install method for over 700 of the web's most popular services, Jolicloud enables you to surf, chat, listen, watch and connect from a clean and attractive interface. Plus with Jolicloud's
feature staying in contact and sharing fascinating finds with your
social networks
is easy.
You can synchronize your Jolicloud across as many devices as you like, and if you've not got your netbook with you simply log in with a HTML5-compliant browser to manage your account. Jolicloud might just be what your netbook's been missing, check out our
full article
You're not going to get the compatibility of a Windows or Mac OS install with many of the above, but if you don't really need everything under the sun running on your machine then one of these (or even a few of these) might be for you. Even if you do use another primary OS, try partitioning or one of the many Live CD/USB releases. You might be surprised!

With the recent labor problems of the NFL, the question being thrown around is Will the NFL become the wreck that baseball is?
The following article is typical:
I agree with his assessment of the current financial climate in MLB but I do not believe that the NFL will allow themselves to fall into the rathole of no salarycap. They know better.
I particularly agree with this comment taken from the above article speaking of baseball:
I'd say Castellini is trying to get the Reds from the bottom tier to the middle tier. That is as good as he can do in MLB's current economic system. That's all us Reds fans can hope for. Can we become the Cleveland Indians? What this author doesn't mention is that Cleveland does not have to compete with the money of the Cubs, Cardinals or even the Astros. So in our division we'll have to be better than the Twins or Indians in order to be equally as successful.the sport has a three-tiered economic structure.
On top are the teams that can pay to be good, led by the freest spenders of them all, the New York Yankees. Next is a middle level of teams that can, through highly competent scouting and superior minor league organizations, field highly competitive editions for a few years at a time until their young players get old enough to command enormous salaries that only the top-tier teams can afford. Cleveland was a prime example of such a team; for five or six years it was the cream of the American League crop until it had to bid adieu to all its stars and start again at the bottom.
Then there are the bottom feeders, the Tampa Bays and Kansas Citys of the game. They have no money, spend even less, and view a successful season as one in which they finish within ten games of .500 and anywhere other than dead last.
I do hope football does not lose it's economic parity because baseball is not what it once was (in the 70s) when it had parity.

Kathleen Aguilar, Steve's sister, a Colorado University professor, coordinated the family's trip to Mexico and came as well. She told the Optimum Health representative, "I really hope this program can help my parents and brother because they are in so much pain and it is really affecting their quality of life."
At the end of the first day of treatment, the Aguilar's were starting to become believers. Steve and his parents were very close to being pain free just after the first day of treatment. The following morning Kathleen commented on how peaceful her mother looked, not having some degree of an agonized expression of pain showing on her face as she normally did.
Each received ozone treatments daily, along with IV's of specific types umbilical cord stem cells and nerve growth factors that enhance and speed up the regenerative process.
After the third and final day of their treatment the Aguilars' were true believers and excited about returning home feeling an increased zest for life. All three were walking normally and virtually pain free in their major problem areas. For the Aguilar family ozone and stem cell therapy has been a blessing and nothing short of miraculous. See video at http://www.stemcellmexico.com.
The ozone / stem cell pain management program succeeds in mitigating or eliminating chronic pain conditions because it treats the underlying causes, not the symptoms, of pain. And the primary cause is some kind of nerve-related damage, inflammation, blockage, interruption or imbalance.

Bail and Jar Jar must convince Toydaria that their cause is just -- before it's too late. Trade Federation envoy Lott Dod attempts to prevent the Toydarians from giving up their neutrality.

We've been hearing for months from Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner that it is absolutely crucial to raise the debt ceiling by $3 trillion or else the apocolyspse will come crashing down and the world will end however, according to Fox News, Senate Republican Whip Jon Kyl is saying the Treasury may in fact extend the debt ceiling deadline again and use some of those magic government accounting tricks to avoid default. The debt ceiling deadline was extended the first time on May 3 to August 2, this would be round two of debt ceiling vote extentions.
The No. 2 Republican in the Senate said Tuesday that he has heard the Treasury Department may be announcing soon that it can extend the Aug. 2 deadline to increase the nation's ability to borrow money to give bipartisan negotiators more time to cut a deal on the debt.
Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., didn't say where he heard the plan, but if true the decision would give critical breathing space for lawmakers and the White House who have not been able to overcome a budget impasse.
"We know for sure they are going to update the deadline (Friday)," a House Republican leadership aide told Fox News. "We have heard from those who watch this type of thing that it's likely they will move it back, but we have not heard from Treasury that it is definitely going back. So I guess we've heard that, but not from Treasury, which is the only group that actually knows when we'll run out of cash."
And the Treasury response:
"We will provide an update on the debt ceiling outlook at the beginning of July, as we have done at the beginning of each month this year, but it is unlikely that the date will move by more than a day or two -- if at all," Treasury spokeswoman Colleen Murray said in a statement to FoxNews.com.
Right, because one day will get the politicians to make up their minds and negotiate a deal.

Image: Getty Images Today, Kobe Bryant joined the Lakers' practice for the first time since tearing his Achilles tendon in April. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, Bryant has been ramping up activity for some time, and his goal has been to return to game action within two to three weeks of returning to practice: Bryant had been gathering momentum with weeks of increased running, shooting and basketball-related activities that culminated with him rejoining the Lakers on the practice court on Saturday morning. Bryant has made remarkable progress from such serious injury, but it's unclear how long it will take for him to return to play his first game this season. All along, Bryant had hoped he could play his first game within two to three weeks of his return to practice. Still, his debut will depend on how he progresses in full-contact workouts with his team. The Lakers practice was not full contact, instead consisting of 5 on 0 drills and shooting, but Bryant participated throughout, and boosted his teammates' morale. More Pau on Kobe's first practice: "It was his first time back out there but he looked really good, which I'm very happy to see" — Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) November 16, 2013 Bryant said he felt good, but did not offer a concrete return date. Caught Kobe walking out. He said he felt good after today and would evaluate things again tomorrow. This was just another step though. — Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne) November 16, 2013 This comes as welcomed news for Lakers fans, as the team has mustered a mere 4-7 record thus far in Bryant's absence. The post Kobe Bryant Returns to Practice appeared first on Laker Nation.

So, a guy that can't throw as a QB being given a spot in camp as a QB is not a favor when he was unemployed and about ready to go up to Canada to tryout for a CFL club?
It's completely a favor and one last chance because no other NFL team was going to touch him, dude.
It was reported that NE was sort of investigating how the media was following him as he worked out at OSU.
That should tell you another reasoon why teams didn't want to take him on after the circus season with the Jets.
It was totally a favor to get him a paycheck this summer instead of not having a paycheck.
That's like giving a spot to an RB in camp who has one leg. It doesn't make sense. Tebow would have had to have shown massive improvement in throwing, and 4 years in, you just knew it wasn't going to happen.
The Tim Tebow drama in the NFL is now officially over.
So, BB kept Tim on the roster until final cut day as a favor? Russ, I don't agree with you. You don't cut a guy on final cut day if you were intent on doing him a favor. They were trying to work him into a slot, plain and simple. Now, argue some more and I will disengage for the sake of everybody. Any player will tell you that the absolute WORST time to be cut is on FINAL CUT DAY both personally and strategicaly for your carreer. FACT. Even yesterday would have been 100-times better bfore final cut day. That is proof of a favor, this was proof of, "We really wanted to keep him."

When no gold standard is available to evaluate a diagnostic or screening test, as is often the case, an imperfect reference standard test must be used instead. Furthermore, the errors of the test and its reference standard may not be independent. Some authors have opined that positively dependent errors will lead to overestimation of test performance. Although positive dependence does increase agreement between the test and the reference standard, it is not clear if test accuracy will necessarily be overestimated in this situation, and the case of negatively associated test errors is even less clear. To examine this issue in more detail, we derive the apparent sensitivity, specificity, and overall accuracy of a test relative to an imperfect reference standard and the bias in these parameters. We demonstrate that either positive or negative bias can occur if the reference standard is imperfect. The type and magnitude of bias depend on several components: the disease prevalence, the true test sensitivity and specificity, the covariance between the false-negative test errors among the true disease cases, and the covariance between the false-positive test errors among the true noncases. If, for example, sensitivity and specificity are 0.8 for both the test and reference standard and the errors have a moderate positive dependence, test sensitivity is then underestimated at low prevalence but overestimated at high prevalence, while the opposite occurs for specificity. We illustrate these ideas through general numerical calculations and an empirical example of screening for breast cancer with magnetic resonance imaging and mammography.

Staley to make season debut for Steelers on Sunday
Updated: November 4, 2005, 10:20 PM ETAssociated Press
PITTSBURGH -- Duce Staley is going to carry the ball for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday for the first time in almost 11 months.
The Steelers and their running back can only hope his return was worth the wait.
With Jerome Bettis not expected to play because of a quadriceps
injury, Staley will be activated for only the second time this
season when the Steelers visit Green Bay on Sunday. He missed all
but one day of training camp following knee surgery and ...

Summary of Intravenous Vimpat Data Presented at 2009 AES Annual Meeting
Abstract: Pharmacokinetic evaluation of intravenous lacosamide as short-term replacement for oral lacosamide in partial-onset seizures
In this 160-patient analysis of the lacosamide long-term open-label extension trial, patients receiving oral lacosamide were converted to therapeutically equivalent intravenous doses, and grouped into three cohorts based on infusion duration. Results showed that intravenous lacosamide provided similar plasma concentrations as those associated with oral lacosamide, across consecutive dosing days and regardless of infusion durations.

iPhone 6 components are readily available
Want to buy some iPhone 6 parts?
To prove he had an actual iPhone 6 screen in his possession, a repair company owner who contacted Cult of Mac took this photograph, which confirms the component's size.
iPhone 6 screen
This iPhone 6 screen measures 4.7 inches diagonally, the widely rumored size of the "smaller" smartphone that will be unveiled Tuesday by Apple.
iPhone 6 LCD front
We were offered this iPhone 6 screen -- which is "definitely" made from sapphire glass says the seller -- for $500.
iPhone 6 LCD back
The seller -- a repair shop owner -- said we could pay for the screen on delivery to make sure it was genuine. He was going to throw in the cables too.
iPhone 6 hard case
This is a non-functioning iPhone 6 dummy the repair shop owner made for a U.S. case manufacturer. The accessory maker wants to get the jump on its competitors by putting iPhone 6 cases on store shelves as quickly as possible.
Rear shell of iPhone 6
This is the back of the new iPhone 6. It is also available from Apple's Chinese suppliers -- for a price.
Sapphire glass
This is the new sapphire glass that will front the iPhone 6. This picture was sent to the repair shop owner from his suppliers in China. He hasn't tested the screen for strength but sincerely hopes it can be broken. "More business for me," he said.
iPhone 6 displays
Another picture from China showing the iPhone 6 screen assembly compared to the iPhone 5c. This is the smaller iPhone 6 (4.7-inch diagonal screen), but it still dwarfs the current iPhone.
iPhone 6 displays
Another view of the iPhone 6 screen compared to the current iPhone 5, this time showing the back.
Charging dock flex cable
The remaining pictures in this gallery are sent from China showing the various repair components that are readily available.
Flex cables
Sensor flex cables like these are easy to come by.
True Tone flash cable
A look at the front and back of the updated True Tone flash for the iPhone 6 with four LEDs.
Home buttons
The iPhone 6 home buttons come in gold, silver and space gray.
iPhone 6 home button
A backside view of the iPhone 6's home button cable.
Speaker boxes
Speaker assemblies for the 4.7-inch iPhone 6.
Touch ID flex cables
This is the wiring magic that makes Touch ID possible.
Lightning port
This Lightning port flex cable is ready to go into a brand new (or broken) iPhone 6.
Apple's iPhone 6 is supposed to be a big secret in this part of the world, but in China, parts are readily available.
Although the iPhone 6 hasn't been announced and won't be in stores for a couple of weeks, everything from the new aluminum case to the sapphire-covered LCD screen is available on the Chinese gray market.
Cult of Mac has been contacted by a U.S. smartphone repair company that offered to sell us a bunch of iPhone 6 components — almost enough to assemble our own device.
"I can get all the parts except the motherboards are very rare and very expensive to purchase," said the owner of the repair company, who asked to remain anonymous. "The display assemblies alone are $500 per piece right now."
The repair company owner claims iPhone 6 parts — especially for the upcoming 4.7-inch model — are readily available in China from suppliers to the repair industry.
"All the parts needed for repairs they acquire shortly before release — this is normal," he said. "Usually they have no need to sell the parts because there's no demand this early but I've bought samples from them … so I can buy parts in the future."
Apple is famously secretive about its future plans and understandably keeps tight wraps on unannounced products. The company is expected to unveil two new models of the iPhone 6 at a big media event in Cupertino next Tuesday — one with a 4.7-inch screen and a 5.5-inch model. Apple did not respond to a request for comment on this story.
The repair company owner sent dozens of pictures of various components (see the gallery above).
Some of the pictures he took himself, he said; others were sent to him by his Chinese contacts. He offered to overnight some parts. To assure us the parts were genuine, he said we could pay on receipt.
Kyle Wiens from iFixit — the second biggest Apple parts supplier after Apple — said he has also been offered iPhone 6 components. "I'm certainly not surprised that they've got parts," he said. "I get offers all the time to sell me these parts. We've stayed out of importing these parts ourselves to avoid incurring the wrath of a certain security team."
"I think that Apple's supply chain has gotten so big that they just can't keep track of all the parts."
"I think that Apple's supply chain has gotten so big that they just can't keep track of all the parts," Wiens added. "A lot of these may be factory rejects that went for disposal but were diverted."
The repair owner says he's sold parts to case makers here in the United States who are trying to get a jump on competitors. He declined to name them.
In the past, some case makers have gone to extreme lengths to be first to market. Hard Candy Cases once spent $50,000 on cases based on a leak that turned out to be incorrect. On another occasion, the company got it right and had cases in stores only a week after a new device was released. It left Hard Candy's competitors in the dust; it frequently takes months for cases to be designed, manufactured and shipped to stores.
The stakes are high. The market for mobile accessories, which includes cases, has exploded to $26.5 billion, a figure that's expected to double in 2015, according to ABI Research.
Likewise, the smartphone repair industry is booming, having grown from nothing five years ago to more than $1.1 billion annually, according to market research firm Ibis World.
Although Apple doesn't sanction third-party repairs, Ibis estimates there are more than 2,300 repair shops in the United States. Most have struck up independent deals with Apple's supply manufacturers in China.
The U.S. repair company owner says his suppliers are buying the parts legally from Apple's supply chain and in wholesale quantities, but are generally keeping them under the table.
"Unless someone's asking, they aren't advertising they have the parts," he explained. "Most honestly have no need for them right now."
He added: "From the five suppliers I buy parts from, only two have the iPhone 6 parts. I trust the businesses I work with and they have been right so far."
The repair company owner says parts for the 5.5-inch model are much harder to come by. He's seen only the exterior case, he said, which suggests the 5.5-inch model is not yet in mass-production.
The wide availability of parts seems to be borne out by the large number of component leaks in recent weeks. Almost every component of the iPhone 6 seems to have leaked, allowing Russia outfit Feld & Volk to assemble a near-working device.
The iPhone 6 will be available in gold, silver and black, the repair shop owner said, based on components he's seen. And the LCD display is made of sapphire glass — a detail that still seems to be in contention in the rumor mill.
"The iPhone 6 definitely has sapphire glass," he said, adding: "I am in possession of iPhone 6 display assemblies if you need any."

The National Wild Turkey Federation's Bernheim Chapter sponsored a special dove shoot on Saturday at the Maraman Farm off Deatsville Road.
Thirty disabled hunters from Bullitt County were able to go dove hunting thanks to the local NWTF chapter.
The hunters also go to Bernehim Forest each fall.
PIONEER VILLAGE - Cities throughout the county are facing a common problem - decreasing real estate values, especially when homestead exemptions are taken out for older residents.
In the city of Pioneer Village, the adjusted assessments on real estate dropped over $1.4 million for the current year.
Pioneer Village city officials opted to take the compensating rate on real property as a way to generate about the same revenue as a year ago.
SHEPHERDSVILLE — Magistrate Buddy Shepherd was concerned the last time officials had to deal with what to do with overweight trucks using county roads.
Without some type of permission from Bullitt Fiscal Court, overweight vehicles are not allowed.
Last year, the county adopted a permit process where companies could receive permission if they promised to make any repairs.
On several occasions, however, the damage was done and the responsible parties were gone.
LEBANON JUNCTION — City residents won't see much of a change on their real and personal property tax bills this year.
In the midst of water and wastewater treatment increases, council members agreed they didn't want to put an additional burden on taxpayers.
"I think with the water rates going up and with the other money coming in, we should keep them the same," councilman Dion Collins said.
The council passed the rates at its September meeting.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - Scoring four times in the first half and then duplicating that feat after halftime, the Bullitt East Chargers rolled to an easy 8-0 victory over Bullitt Central last Tuesday.

A pig roast will also be held.
MOUNT WASHINGTON — Things are cramped at Mount Washington Fire Protection District's Station 1 on Bardstown Road.
There's no room for new equipment and sections of the station's main bays are used to store training and maintenance equipment that is important but isn't used for emergency response.
Fire chief Michael Dooley and the district's Board of Trustees agree it's time to expand the station, which serves as the department's main base.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The driver of a vehicle involved in a crash, which killed 22-year-old Joshua Michael Bartley, has been indicted by the Bullitt County Grand Jury.
And a Bullitt County man has been charged with the death of his cousin in a separate incident.
The 12-member Bullitt County panel indicted Heather Michelle Woloch, 19, of Shepherdsville.
She was charged with manslaughter, a Class C felony punishable by 5-10 years in prison.
On July 15, Woloch was driving a southbound 2001 Dodge Stratus when it left Bardstown Road in Mount Washington.

We're seeing triple at Community Regional Medical Center's NICU! It's all over the national news right now – we have not one or two, but THREE sets of triplets in the NICU and another set on the way any day. It's remarkable, extremely rare, and just so precious!
Today was a special day for me. To help celebrate National Volunteer Week, Paulla Sebra, Manager of Clovis's Volunteer Services, invited me to join her and her volunteer staff at an annual luncheon held in their honor. As Donor Relations for Community Medical Foundation, I knew it would be a good opportunity to get to know some of the newer volunteers and have a chance to thank them for their hours of volunteer services.
By Katie Zenovich
Executive Director, Foundation
The FIVE 4 FIVE appreciation dinner was an absolutely fantastic experience – from start to finish.
I had the privilege of attending the Clovis Chamber of Commerce's annual dinner meeting on Feb. 11 to see one of our Community board members, Jerry Cook, present the Einar Cook Leadership Award to Craig Castro, CEO of Clovis Community Medical Center.
The spirit of the holidays filled the neuroscience inpatient unit at Community Regional Medical Center as the Encore volunteer group of young professionals paraded the halls with holiday cheer delivering gifts talking with patients and their families. The families and staff were overwhelmed with gratitude for the generosity of this young group.
Carl and Barbara Ueland were having a nice evening with friends at a dinner at the Fresno Convention Center, and then in an instant everything changed. While they were walking to the car, Barbara had a heart attack. Carl put her in the car and drove quickly to Community Regional Medical Center's emergency department. Security guard Aaron Clark helped get her inside. Once there, the care team couldn't find Barbara's pulse. They called a Code Blue. The team started working on her with paddles.

If only more things were made out of plastic building blocks, so much money and frustration could be spared. Broken door? Just patch it up with some blocks. Cracked ceiling? Patch it up with some blocks. Dented car? Patch it up with some blocks. Until the day comes that a universal, affordable and can-be-used-for-anything block is developed, stick with today's Groupon to reverse those unwanted dents in your steel chariot; pay R270 for a car dent repair kit from Euro1supply.
For many people their car is as precious to them as a pet. They care for it, feed it expensive, highly-combustible fuel and take it on regular trips to the beach, parks and mountain trails and make sure it's safe every night before turning off for the night. So when you awake the next morning, and walk around your four-wheeled companion only to discover a ghastly dent, it's a pain that cuts right to the core of you. The only thing more painful is the dreaded repair bill you'll receive after the needed repairs have been done by team of professionals. Instead of forking out hard-earned rands and leaving your baby in the company of strangers for several hours, get today's Groupon and take care of repairs yourself.
With the Euro1supply car dent repair kit, dents will be no more of a nuisance than wiping your car's windscreen. The clever, easy-to-use device employs a flex-n-pull design that repairs dents in three simple steps without leaving any evidence of it at all. All you do is stick, twist and pull and voila, dent no more. Regardless of how the dent came into being, whether it was a sudden rain of hail or a stray cricket ball, the repair kit will restore that clean, new look to the body of your car. Unlike like other dent repair products, this one will leave no damage or blemishes on the surface of your car and will leave it beautifully restored.
Gaming fact: During an incredibly drawn-out and overly serious game of Simon Says, one player was told to be a 'lone-ranger'. He was so caught up in the game that before he could called back he jumped into his Hilux and set off into the sunset. As the story goes he is still roaming the plains on his 4x4 steed to this day.

Questionable $110M State Deals Bypassed Reviews (page 65196)
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.

This is not a support forum, it's a shoutbox. For help, click help below.
Don't get personal or you'll get zapped, or banned.
cant figure it out
Obviously that was the point I was trying to make
Obviously they did not, toftsfamilytree. They're the people hosting this site. If the company was out of business, we wouldn't be able to log in.
Did Webring die in 2013? They are still charging an annual fee !
Its nice to see that even though WebRing died in 2013 my website is still up and running.
Noooool really is that stupid. You know that cafesatan so stop baiting him
Happy Walpuris sabbath
Nooool, are you really this stupid or are you just playing? How does suggesting that a barely used chatbox be removed in order to avoid leaving the impression that Webring has abandoned qualify as criticism of Webring?
the less visitors scared away by the attacks in this shoutbox, in the long run means more visitors t our websites
because in the long run, we could criticise them into the internet business graveyard OR participate and support them to the ultimate befnefit of our websites
I figure that whilst I could target my criticism at webring, I would rather support them and try to raise the standard and quality of what people see here
I would really love to live in a world of one percent fact and ninety-nine percent imagination too
Read: Criticism of Noooool's habitual abuse of the spam zapper button and criticism of your scatterbrained commentary does not qualify as criticism of Webring. When you pretend otherwise, you're being manipulative.
Get over yourself, Noriko. Webring is a for-profit business and not a charity, and as such, it is a perfectly legitimate target for criticism by its users. Criticism which wasn't being seen in this case, by the way. Trying to portray criticism of Noooool's habitual abuse of the spam zapper button and criticism of your scatterbrained commentary does not qualify as criticism of Webring. When you pretend otherwise, you're being manipulative.
Anyway, enough from me just now - time for some long overdue sleep - goodnight and thanks
But, I figure that if I can still stand up and go to work each day, then I am way better off than many many others.
I unfortunately have to admit that this has not been a real good year so far. Some major sicknesses in my family, my wife still recovering from some major surgery and just to help it along, my brother died from Pancreatic cancer a few weeks back.
Hi Noriko, good to "see" you again...
And maybe in your opinion it looks bad for Webring, but obviously not in theirs, since this it's still here. I've been with Webring since just about its inception. Seen it go through all the changes. Its ups and downs. It's practically a free service and if you get something for free, it's really rude to complain about it. Yeah it's not perfect, but it's still here, unlike a lot of other formerly free services. I just think that people should be nicer and more considerate towards Webring and each other.
Math; do you have actual proof that Noooool actually deleted posts? It is possible that a silent observer might have done it.
Hi Noooool and a happy new year to you too!
The guy has a point and censorship won't change that fact. Leaving this chatbox in place does make Webring look abandoned. This is March and one can still see posts from November. That doesn't look good, and it deters newcomers from making more active use of Webring. They're going to look, think "this place is dead" and wonder why they should bother with it at all. Then they'll get trolled and then censored by some nobody like you, and they'll think they know the answer to their own question. Keeping this box going is bad for webring, even if it seems to be the key to your 15 minutes of fame.
BTW, Cafesatan reposted the comment that you wrongly zapped and here it is almost a month later, so as usual, you are full of it.
Nooool, you've been abusing the spamzapping privilege as long as anybody can remember. You're a perfect example of why individual users should not be given the power to moderate posts.
Been using WebRing since 2005 and has sent me lots of visitors.
not a lot it seems!
whats up everyone
cafesatan - read the notice in bold above this box and you should be able to work out why someone zapped you - if they hadn't, I was going to.
Hello Mr Tofts and Noriko - Happy New Year to you both - yeh yeh, I know it is a bit late but I haven't said it to you yet!
And you're accusing me of trolling? ROFL
Cafesaten, why are you so rude? Why do you come on here, using such bad language, attacking people you don't even know?
Still abusing the spam zapper, Noooool?
"What are you talking about???!!!" Are you on drugs, noriko or are you just trolling (again)? It's Feb.2 and there are posts from October that are still visible.
I have had half a dozen or so new members to my rings this year, so it is still going here. I have seen that the staff have been going through changing abandoned members to the "fictitious" ranks lately, so they are still working...
No, I get hits all the time and it seems like people are maintaining their rings. Tho I am losing members and I can't figure out why?
has Webring been abandoned?

D&G L'Amoureaux 6 by Dolce & Gabbana
this is a soft fragrance with light citrus and ends with a wood & pepper combo. that softness of the scent fades to open more citrus and the hint of pepper in the middle. The pepper stays towards the end leaving a woody/light-pepper base. It is an interesting one. I liked it at first but thought it may be to simple due to it being unisex. Its pleasant without being overly manly or too feminine. It is a soft scent, but not a full on gourmand, which I like. It has the citrus and light pepper so its something different for guys. I do not know all too much on womens perfumes, but I think the softness of this scent allows a woman to pull it off. Overall, this L'Amoureaux think it accomplishes that through its light nature. It seems like a breeze would destroy this fragrance, not carry it. It is just a light pleasant smell, doesn't say much aloud, yet smells great when you have the chance. It seems like you would have to use this perfume in long spells. It is one that seems to get better every time you smell it-- you usually do not detect all the notes the first few times you smell it.

Experienced and Dedicated Bed Sales Team
With over 40 years in the industry Bedstar has a wealth of experience when it comes to beds and mattresses. In fact, we have so much experience, we would even go as far as calling ourselves experts on the subject. To maintain our high levels of customer satisfaction, all staff members are highly trained with the best product knowledge in the industry. They are also fully trained to understand what product(s) would be suitable to satisfy individual customer needs. We understand that buying from a website can be a difficult and daunting experience so our staff are trained to make the process as easy as possible.
1000's of Stock Items
We do not quite understand why popular high street shops insist on having delivery times of anything between 1 – 12 weeks. We do, however, understand that delivery time is a very important factor when buying a product. For this reason, we have ensured that we hold vast quantities of stock that not only represent excellent value for money but can also be delivered to our customers within 1-2 working days.
Delivery Service
We have trialed a huge number of UK logistics companies to ensure that the delivery service we offer is second to none. As well as offering bed frames and mattresses on a 1-man overnight service, we are able to deliver our larger items using a 2-man, white glove, room of choice service. The two man premium service provides a 3-4 hour time slot the day prior to the agreed day of delivery.
Collection and Recycle Service
Mattresses account for over 180,000 tons of landfill each year and can take over 10 years to decompose. Very little has been done to reduce the landfill attributable by beds and mattresses despite each component being recyclable. For this reason, Bedstar has taken the step of offering a collection and recycling service. When you purchase a mattress and/or a divan base, Bedstar will offer you the opportunity to help the environment by having your old bed/mattress collected and 100% recycled.
Price Match Promise
Our sales team continually trawls our competitor's prices to ensure that our prices remain the most competitive on the internet. However, if you do find another internet retailer supplying the same exact product at a lower price, we will look at matching the price for you.
Hassle Free 7 Day Return Policy
If you receive a product that you do not like and would like to send it back to Bedstar, as long as you do not sleep on it, keep it in its original packaging and inform us in writing within 7 days of receiving the product, you can return the product for a full refund. Alternatively, we can collect the item from you for a charge.
Minimum 12 Month Guarantee on all Products
For peace of mind, all products that we sell come with a minimum 12 month manufacturer guarantee. If anything goes wrong with your purchase within 12 months of receiving it, our Customer Support Department will be able to arrange a suitable resolution whether it be a replacement part, replacement product or an on-site repair.
100% Secure Ordering System
We use the latest technology to ensure that ordering both over the phone and via our website is 100% secure. When ordering on the website, our payment processor, HSBC, ensures that no third party can view any of your personal details. Once your credit/debit card details have been entered into our online checkout, even members of staff cannot view them. Orders through the phone are entered directly on our secure system where again, as soon as the transaction has been processed, the credit/debit card details are no longer visible.

When it comes to eating healthy, Joe Cross says these two relationships matter most. More
Don't wait for your next big vacation to slow down and relax. More
Find a workshop
Geneen Roth reminds us to give thanks to the body we're in right now. People usually come to my workshops because they want to lose weight. They want to stop suffering. They want to be happy. I talk to them about trusting themselves and about listening to their bodies. Once you do that, I say, everything—your relationship with food, yourself, your body—tends to fall into place. More
Being human is a strange and wonderful experience. We are big enough to fall like Newton's apple, yet our cells are small enough and work fast enough to qualify our inner workings as a quantum universe. We inhabit a borderland between Newtonian physics and the quantum model of reality, and we smoothly operate within these two realities. The body handles the details of the intricate workings of our 100 trillion cells without our conscious intervention. More
Taking Charge of Change
When Beryl Bender Birch received a serious medical diagnosis, she was in denial. "I'm Beryl Bender Birch, I don't do 'hip replacements,' much less osteoarthritis," she said. Then an "aha" moment led her back to the practices that would help her heal. More
Using Gratitude to Shift Awareness
A friend of mine, Hilde, an exceedingly successful small-business owner, scolded me when I whined about the time it took to write checks for bills. I expressed how I despised doing that chore from the aspect of both time and the resulting reduction in my bank balance. She explained her way of paying bills. More
According to anthropologist and shaman Hank Wesselman, it is not enough to suppress the effects of illness with medication. For true healing to occur, the causes of the illness must be addressed. More
You brain is exquisitely synchronized and interconnected, says biophysicist and cell-biologist Joyce Hawkes. The science behind this is what makes cell-level healing possible. More
According to Marc David, the way you navigate your life is the way you navigate your metabolism. The good news is you can change how you live and transform your metabolism starting right now. Metabolism isn't something you fix. You can measure certain aspects of it, yet metabolism itself is measureless. You can tweak certain parts of it, yet it remains always whole. You can command it to do your bidding, yet it will always answer to a higher source. More
Marc David helps us recognize that at its deepest level, eating is an affirmation of life. I hereby agree, from this day forward, to fully participate in life on earth. I agree to inhabit the appropriate vehicle for such participation—a body. As a requisite for the sustaining of that body, and of the life that dwells therein, I agree to be an eater. This agreement fully binds me for the duration of my stay on earth. More
Tama Kieves describes how staying present and "riding the train" of discomfort when facing challenges can help us lead a happier, more fulfilling life. More

I'm looking at the Force 12 "Sigma 40" 40 meter vertical diplole...
Presumably, this antenna is a half wavelength at 40 meters, so with an antenna tuner (or not) would I be able to use it on 20 meters? Also, since 15 meters is a third harmonic, could I use this antenna on 15 meters?
Also, could I listen (not transmit) to 75 meters?
Many thanks in advance!

Booger & Lewis Geek Out About 'King Of The Nerds'
Booger & Lewis Geek Out About 'King Of The Nerds'
USA's Soccer Moms Make Final Push Before Returning to Family Life
Unlock your personal NFL Now stream by signing in to NFL.com
When the second season of TBS's reality TV competition King of the Nerds begins tonight, viewers can expect the program to reach nerdier heights than ever. Just ask two of the most iconic nerds in film history. King of the Nerds is a reality game show: Eleven contestants live in a house called "Nerdvana" and compete in challenges that test their intellect, ingenuity, and pop culture knowledge, all in pursuit of a $100,000 prize.
Soccer's most cherished trophy comes at a price many women would never want to pay. The pursuit of a World Cup requires the three mothers on the US team to leave their children with husbands and parents, seeing them for only an hour each day. For US defender Christie Rampone, the separation is easier. Her daughters Rylie and Reece are nine and five, and old enough to understand the most important games in their mother's life.
As June has rolled into July, The US has become captivated by their team marching through Canada to Sunday's Women's World Cup final. Television ratings have soared. Fox reports the six US women's matches so far in this World Cup have averaged 5.3m viewers, a rise of 121% over the 2011 Women's World Cup. At one point 12m people watched Tuesday's semi-final win over Germany. For a sport that has not been seen as American enough, the ratings are enormous. Michael Mulvihill, a vice-president for Fox Sports which is broadcasting the World Cup in the US says "I think it's fair to say they have exceeded our highest hopes."
Egypt launched air strikes in North Sinai on Saturday, killing 12 militants, security sources said, and the Egyptian president visited the restive province where the bloodiest fighting in years erupted earlier this week. North Sinai has been the epicenter of an insurgency in Egypt where an Islamic State-affiliated group, Sinai Province, is most active.
Clint Dempsey wants to look ahead to helping the US defend its Concacaf Gold Cup title and not back to his confrontation with a referee that caused American coach Jurgen Klinsmann to replace the fiery forward as captain for the tournament. Dempsey converted a penalty kick in his return from a suspension, Timmy Chandler scored his first international goal and the United States routed Guatemala 4-0 Friday night despite some sloppy play in an exhibition ahead of the Gold Cup.
A Eurotunnel spokesman said on Saturday, Dozens of migrants trying to stow away on vehicles crossing the Channel by tunnel between France and England broke through perimeter fences at Calais overnight, temporarily halting traffic. The disruption was the latest in a series of incidents involving some 3,000 migrants, mostly from Africa and the Middle East, who are camped around the northern French port in the hope of reaching Britain. The Eurotunnel spokesman told Reuters, "At around 7 p.m.

Editorial: "The pall of Fukushima overshadows our energy future"
CATCHING a flight out of Fukushima in the wake of the nuclear disaster two years ago would have given you a larger dose of radiation than staying put.
This is the upshot of a new report from the World Health Organization estimating that for residents exposed to the radiation leak, the risk of developing cancer has increased only slightly.
People had been most worried about an increase in thyroid cancer, due to exposure to radioactive iodine. The report says the risk has increased by 70 per cent, but in practice this only adds 0.5 per cent to the existing risk. This would mean that a woman's lifetime risk of getting thyroid cancer might rise from 0.75 to 1.25 if she had been exposed as an infant. The margin of increase for other cancers was much lower.
After Chernobyl, most of the population got a dose of less than 9 millisieverts of radiation over 20 years, says Gerry Thomas at Imperial College London – less than an international flight.

Enter to win this gorgeous planet-friendly guitar made from ethically harvested trees
With the release of Lulu coming up next Tuesday, Metallica and Lou Reed have posted a full, 13-minute EPK online, which you can check out below. The video features all five musicians discussing the making of Lulu, which will be released on November 1.
While Metallica's recent collaboration with Lou Reed -- which can be heard in full here -- left many fans scratching their heads, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich seems to think it was a no-brainer for West Coast thrash metal to collide with East Coast art rock.
Just a day after posting 30-second samples of all ten tracks on their new album, Lou Reed and Metallica are now streaming Lulu in its entirety.
Yesterday, Amazon.de posted audio samples of all 10 tracks off the upcoming collaborative album from Lou Reed and Metallica. While the samples were taken down quickly, Loutallica were nice enough to post higher-quality samples of Lulu online, which you can check out below.
The entity now collectively known as Loutallica has now posted a 60-second EPK for their upcoming album, Lulu, online. You can check out the video -- which features thoughts on Lulu from Lars, James and Lou -- below.
The collaborative album from Metallica and Lou Reed is set for release on November 1, with a single, "The View," already available on iTunes. Now, you can head over to the group's store to check out all all of the special packages of the album available.
If a 30-second clip wasn't enough for you, Metallica & Lou Reed have now posted their new song, "The View," in its entirety for streaming. You can listen below.

Well, graffixnyc asked them for the source code, but I don't know if they ever gave it to him. I know one of our excellent devs could definitely do it if they had the source code.
It seems the View guys always get shafted. We can't get a good kernel to build ICS, and we can't seem to get the source code for the kernel for CM7...
Yeah, I understand our device is not common, but other than the cellular radio, the tablet really isn't much different than the Flyer. I know I'd be fine with not having a working radio at all (I don't use it), and I bet others would be fine with temporarily losing the radio if it meant we got some AOSP ROM development rolling.
I'm pretty much just being a Monday morning quarterback, though, since I can't actually do any development myself.
Ok so the GB version has begun.. I downgraded to GB with the RUU Stock rom, I'm now deodexing it, added in the goodies (root, busybox, init.d) after it's done deodexing then the experimental stuff begins, removing as much as possible unit **** starts breaking and replacing whatever HTC app I can with an AOSP app that will work, then after all that's done I'll theme it a bit and then release a beta
