webcam won't work
I assume the built-in camera in my desktop Mac has simply gone mammaries up, though I've only idly and briefly used it half a dozen times in the three years that I've had this computer.
When I Skype, which I've just started doing, everything works fine on either end of the call except that my camera doesn't come on, and "they" can't see me though I can see and hear them. (I do have preferences box checked that specifies the camera should come on automatically when the call is made.)
When I open iChat's preferences window, it says, "There is no camera associated with this computer."
Before I go out and buy an aftermarket webcam, is there anything I should do to awaken the camera I already have? The computer is running OX 10.5.8, if that matters.
Nope, Photobooth gives me a black screen with a camera icon in the middle of it and a diagonal bar across the camera, which I guess means inop. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
I've seen a couple of these problems relating to Lion (and some have reported that it resolved itself) on the net, and I'm also wondering if it had/has to do with the updates (that are supposed to be getting SL ready for Lion) because the same happened with my thumbdrive when I updated to SL. Wait a bit, do some searches etc before you assume your webcam is broken. That being said, if there are some sales to take advantage of then I wouldn't pass that up either.
Couldn't resist, just ordered a Logitech HD Pro 720p-1080p, which I read is the preferred add-on for anything Mac.

Dry conditions, gusty winds prompt fire warning
Brush fires have flared up in several Massachusetts communities, as dry and windy conditions prompted the National Weather Service to post warnings due to critical fire weather conditions.
The warning covers most of Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire and was in response to low humidity and gusty winds. It was posted on Saturday.
A red flag warning cautions that any fires that start will quickly spread and become difficult to put out.
The Boston Herald reports ( http://bit.ly/Z9SIH7) that hours after the warning was posted, a brush fire began in Saugus and spread to a house. Other brush fires ignited in Bridgewater and Halifax.
Firefighters battled high winds as they extinguished the fires.
The Weather Service expected temperatures to hit 55 degrees on Sunday with gusts of up to 30 miles per hour.

This topical scrub exfoliates skin with a combination of polyethylene beads, sand, and salt. Serious Skin Care claims it won't scratch or abrade skin because they've cushioned these scrub agents in an emollient base, but that's not a guarantee you won't overdo it and hurt your skin. You can easily go overboard with this scrub, so if you decide to try it, scrub gently. This contains a couple of plant extracts that have the potential to cause irritation and the jar packaging is not a sanitary way to use any skin-care product. For additional details on plastic microbeads in cosmetics, see the More Info section below.
Plastic Microbeads in Cosmetics: This product contains polyethylene beads, which is an ingredient that has come under controversy in the recent past. In December of 2013, research published in the peer-reviewed journal, Marine Pollution Bulletin demonstrated that although polyurethane beads are non-toxic to humans, they are not filtered during sewage treatment and are accumulating in waterways. This means the beads have the potential to negatively affect marine wildlife who mistakenly consume them (Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2013).
Additional research published in December of 2013 demonstrated that polyurethane beads have the potential to absorb pollutants while in waterways. This research was conducted to establish the potential of absorption, however, and was not conducted using samples from actual waterways (Cell, 2013).
Beautypedia does not take an ideological stance in reviewing skincare products; rather, our reviews are based upon each product's potential harm or benefit to skin contingent upon what independent peer-reviewed scientific research has demonstrated. On issues like polyethylene beads in cosmetics or animal testing, we present the facts without judgment so that you may make your own decision whether or not this product is right for you.
SSC's Glowbrasion is a unique microdermabrasion beauty treatment for the skin. We use unbelievably fine, sandy textured particles and exotic plant enzymes to micro exfoliate and retexture the skin. Unlike the more conventional exfoliators, Glowbrasion utilizes cushioned granules that finely polish the skin without scratching or over-stimulating the complexion. Plant and fruit enzymes were added to smooth and retexture the skin to a soft, clean, velvet finish. Daily use will reflect in a glowing, vibrant, healthy looking complexion. Using prior to your usual skin care regimen will greatly enhance the penetrability and effectiveness of other beauty treatment ingredients.
PEG-6, Oxidized Polyethylene, Calcium Carbonate (Oolite Sand), Glyceryl Stearate SE, Oleth-20, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Silica, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Carrageenan, Papain, Tocopheryl Acetate, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Sea Salt, Butylene Glycol, Water, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Fucus Vesiculosus (Bladderwrack) Extract, Algae Extract, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan) Extract, Chlorella Pyrenoidosa Extract, Iris Florentina Root Extract, Ulva Lactuca Extract, Hippophae Rhamnoides Extract, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Echinacea Purpurea Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil, Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract, Fragrance, Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate, Red 4, Yellow 6
Serious Skin Care At-A-Glance
Strengths: Provides complete ingredient lists on Web site; several good cleansers; some impressive serums (with and without retinol) and primers; one effective BHA (salicylic acid) product; effective AHA (glycolic acid) pads; effective 5% benzoyl peroxide product; the lip line–filling products (though the effect is not akin to dermal fillers as claimed).
Weaknesses: Too many products, which makes determining what to buy incredibly confusing; several good formulas hampered with needless irritants; no effective skin-lightening options; jar packaging for many moisturizers, which allows the important, but unstable, ingredients to degrade; average masks; the at-home peels are terrible; too many gimmicky products; very small assortment of sunscreens, especially considering all of the anti-aging products; the Beauty Treatment patches are gimmicky and useless; the Glucosamine and Calstrum sub-brands are mediocre; and an irritating lip plumper.
Before you learn anything else about this brand, you need to know that their range of products is E-N-O-R-M-O-U-S. Few lines offer so many products that add up to so little in their entirety. The sheer depth and extent of this line (and it is deep) makes it somewhat inevitable that there will be at least a few diamonds-in-the-rough products you may want to take seriously.
Sold via the Home Shopping Network (HSN), The Shopping Channel, and directly from the company, most of my readers are aware of this brand due to its recurring television appearances. In fact, on publication of the seventh edition of Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me, many readers wrote to ask why we didn't include a new review of this line (we had reviewed it in previous editions of my book). The best answer we can give (outside of the fact that our book already was packed full of reviews and heavy enough to be used as a weapon) is that we honestly didn't think there was much interest in the brand. We rarely received questions about it until it wasn't in the book anymore. But, as always, your interest made it an easy decision (though truly arduous task) for me to revisit this line. Keep in mind that this is one of the most extensive skin-care lines we've ever reviewed.
After delving into the review of the Serious Skin Care line, we quickly discovered why there is more intense interest in it than ever before: The product selection has spiraled out of control and the claims for this at-one-time far more "e;serious" brand's products have gone over-the-top. Now it's laden with ridiculous claims that, regrettably, make it very tempting for consumers, which is surely what the company intended.
Temptation aside, what you have to deal with when shopping Serious Skin Care is the company's poorly organized Web site, which makes the huge product assortment even more confusing (just ask my research assistants; few lines left them scratching their heads more than this one). Even the company doesn't know how to organize or explain what they have and why one skin type would need one product rather than another. That alone might explain why the line does better on shopping channels, where they present only one specific group of products at a time so you don't have to sort through the entire menagerie on their Web site or in a catalog (and good luck to anyone who decides to go down that path!).
A bit of background: Serious Skin Care is from aesthetician Lesa Stock and model Jennifer Flavin-Stallone, who certainly has a charming presence on television. The line began by selling anti-acne products, and has grown into the overwhelming line it is today, with all products claiming to be hypoallergenic (a completely false generality given the number of problematic ingredients Serious Skin Care includes in some of their products). From its anti-acne beginnings on Home Shopping Network, the company blossomed into claims that they have the solution to every skin problem, which of course they don't.
Those with acne will find an incomplete selection of products; those with skin discolorations won't find an effective product to lighten them; there are way too many products that contain irritants (and you won't find a page of research proving those irritants are skin-care essentials); and no matter how you shop this line you'll be forced to compromise if you want to remain loyal to Serious Skin Care. That's because the sub-brands (which include some of the line's star products, at least if you believe what they say during Serious Skin Care's spots on HSN) are mostly one-note products. For example, vitamin A/retinol is offered in one group, vitamin C in another, olive oil gets its own lineup, and if you want to try glucosamine on your skin, that's its own line, too. This begs the question: Why not just put all those ingredients into a few products instead of spreading them out? Skin can benefit from all of those ingredients, and all of those ingredients can remain stable in one formula.
Also available are antioxidant-based products, vitamin B products, lifting, firming, DNA-repairing, brightening, and on and on. Oddly, with dozens of anti-aging products and their lofty claims, there is a surprisingly small selection of sunscreens or daytime moisturizers offering broad-spectrum sun protection, which, as we've told you time and again, is the critical part of any skin-care routine. We realize lots of cosmetic lines capitalize on the "star ingredient" concept to expand their line, but if Serious Skin Care really wanted to assert itself as a skin-care authority, they could streamline their lineup considerably by combining the best of multiple products into a range of truly stand-up-and-applaud products.
It's important to mention that there also are numerous peptides in many of these products. While peptides are potentially (and let me stress potentially good ingredients), they are NOT proven in any way to have an effect on skin that's on par with their anti-wrinkle claims. Please refer to the Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary on this site for detailed information about peptides.
As mentioned above, there are some gems in the Serious Skin Care line, as noted in the list of strengths in the At-A-Glance section. It's also worth noting that, for the most part, the prices aren't out of line for what you get. If you pay attention to the products this line does well, you may very well be pleased. But, even though there are some great products available, few of them are so outstanding that you cannot comparison shop and find even better formulas (sometimes for less money, too).
One more point: In late 2007, Flavin-Stallone launched the Seriesse brand of products. This multi-level marketing company (think Amway or Arbonne) sells some of the Serious Skin Care products and additional products under the Seriesse brand, which Flavin-Stallone runs with her husband, Sylvester Stallone. Although expanding into this type of business may have been a smart move for Flavin-Stallone, we can't help but wonder if her sincerity about Serious Skin Care is genuine. After all, if Serious Skin Care has everything consumers need to manage and improve their skin, why would you need to start yet another brand of products? We have not yet reviewed the Seriesse line, but the products are designed as an extension of Serious Skin Care (which, as we mentioned, should be thinking about downsizing, not expanding, their product selection). It must be that Serious Skin Care's market research indicates that women have an insatiable appetite for this stuff and, therefore, adding even more products must mean better skin. (Now seriously, does that really make any sense?)

And yet we have to name the new entertainment district with attached hotel. This ought to bring and a chance for all to join hands and sing kumbia. I guess track and field and swimming will fill that that building and and the half empty hotel that we spent twenty four million to renovate with the closed roof top restaurant that has been there for twenty years.
And we still got to name the entertainment district. How about the BJCC RV and Tent City and Soup Line.
Could you please do a breakdown of the Creem of the BJCC Board of Directors. Why on their Web Site do they not list a profile of any of them or the Director himself. It is that on a need to know or we don't want to know or they do not want us to know basis. How many of them have attended the monthly meeting the past two years, who goes on the Annual Board Get Away and who collects their turkey gift @ Thanksgiving. Who is auditing the books and watching the money trail on the new hotel and entertainment district. Is this just a place to hide those not worthy of being on t the Water Board.
Have you ever been out of Birmingham or are you still under house arrest.
He can put BASS in the Medical Forum attached to the BJCC and between the Sheraton and the pipe dream entertainment district. It is less then 40% occupied. Go to the next BJCC Board meeting and propose it they are open to the public.
Gotaluv4BGH FYI I moved to a real city and laugh at Birmingham everyday. Also what is Birmingham back to. Your population will continue to decline and what National Companies are relocating. There are none. You are a idiot take your medication and keep wearing you Designer Larry Langford Sunglasses.
Jack Wipe they just closed five post offices in Birmingham Today maybe BASS would want to move into one of those. Your BGH population is project to be passed by Montgomery, Mobile and Huntsville in the next five years. Did you drive by it in the back of a Birmingham Police Car that has a higher occupancy level of criminals then guest occupancy level @ the Sheraton. It is so far from back that Shelby County will pass Jefferson County by 2025. Blight is a disease and only curable if caught early and not nursed by government hand outs to slow the ever increasing spread.
BASS can move into one of the five post offices in Birmingham slated to close. That is over 9% of the ones slated to close in the state. I did not see any Huntsville offices or Mobil and one in Montgomery. All three of those cities are slated to pass Birmingham in population by 2012. That is the year the new Entertainment District will be rezoned for City Jail over flow.
How many people were working @ the Site Slated for the Entertainment District today? None you idiot. Birmingham is not back and a BASS bailed out of Montgomery seven years ago under the cover of darkness and very few people even noticed. Do you think the United States Treasury Department employees go out to lunch every day on there government salaries? Double Idiot. Get out of Birmingham and see what is really happening in progressive cities and not with government monies you triple idiot. FYI I have and tripled my Birmingham salary take public transportation to work everyday and a monthly pass is $10.00. Have you even ridden a Trolley look alike car that shuttles the homeless around town. Doubtful.
I guess we are building a new Westin Hotel so we can welcome the Filming Crew of the "The First 48" television show. It makes total sense to me that after along day of filming we provide the production team a 4 Star experience. Being that half the shows seem to be filmed here maybe the CVB can search out more shows like it. I think a "Survivor Birmingham" is a great idea. We can recruit quality teachers from all over the country and see how long it takes to only have one left.
Residents of Birmingham please understand that you really only have two choices put the past behind you or move to another state. Hint: If you do move make sure your new neighbors and co-workers are made aware of JA's tri weekly column and use it in your daily conversations with them so they can better understand why you moved and the frustrations you faced daily living in Birmingham. This country is no longer black and white and the trail going on in your state capital is only a direct reflection of the on going hatred you are subjected to. It is only persecution if you tolerate it. Take off the blinders and look around.
When the county declares bankruptcy next week do we mail our taxes to Chase Manhattan in NYC. Or to the BJCC to continue building the Entertainment District?
How many of you Bama'ers have ever even been to Tuscaloosa or even taken a college credit. It is a fine University and the state is blessed to also have Auburn. It is a game channel your energies into helping the people who were touched by the storms this spring.
The Birmingham City Schools are a train wreck and Jefferson County is headed in that direction quickly. The corruption continues everyday. It is sad and on Thursday when Jefferson County declares bankruptcy we can all look around and say we should have built a Dome and saved Birmingham. Maybe we all need to watch a movie from 1979 the "Fish that Saved Pittsburgh" they seem to to be doing pretty well in Pittsburgh and Birmingham is the Pittsburgh of the South. I think the only difference in this movie is this fish will most likely smell.

Why would Shelby, St. Clair, Cullman or any other county want to take on that Train Wreck of Jefferson County. It is not going to get any better "New Brooms Sweep Clean"
Build a dome to play the game in
We are going to build a Dome for the next big storm. That is were I want to be in a Tornado. Good luck finding a place to park and are they going to charge $10.00 to do it. Will they also have the Westin across the street finished in time along with the Entertainment District. Can we see pictures of our Government leaders posing in front of the capital so we know they actually went. Maybe the BJCC Board should go to D.C. next so they can try to book some Conventions in their new Play Pen they are building in sixteen months. I'm sure every convention around the country wants to see the new 50,000 sq ft entertainment district. If you can not understand how big that is think twice the size of the Sheraton ballroom across the street from it and you got it.
I always took my clients there and he always knew my name. Bless those in these times and understand he was in the express line getting into heaven.
If you were seated on the roof top of the (foundation is poured but not built or leased) in sixteen months new Entertainment District having coffee you could have had a birds eye view of the back up. Or maybe if you were in the traffic you could have pulled in paid eight dollars to park went in and got a $4.50 espresso and $5.00 Cream Cheese Danish and hoped nobody broke into your car as you watched the hard workers of ALDOT work there magic in the Magic City. My prayers go out to those injured in this wreck.

EKU would use trick punt again in right circumstance
Facing fourth-and-4 in the fourth quarter, Eastern Kentucky's Jordan Berry dropped into punt formation Saturday at Morehead State.
Rather than kick away, though, the Australian executed a soft rugby-style kick to Trey Thomas, a defensive back who lined up as a wideout. Thomas snagged the kick and ran for a first down.
EKU Coach Dean Hood had researched the play and, yes, it is legal for either team to advance the ball when a punt does not cross the line of scrimmage.
EKU went on to score, increasing its lead to 49-24 en route to a 56-24 win.
Might the Colonels run the same fake again?
"If they don't cover the wideout," Hood said with a smile. "That's the thing. I've had a lot of people ask 'why'd you do that when it was that late in the game?' I didn't call that.
"That's a check for us. If we put two wideouts out there and they only put one guy out there to cover him, our kids check to that. Now, they don't always check to that because sometimes I'm in control. When I just call a formation and a protection, that's on them — if they don't cover the wideout, we check to it."
Hood said the Colonels have worked on the play for two years, first with Berry throwing the ball. It was Berry's idea to kick the ball because he was quicker and more accurate that way.
Hood said Berry was timed at 2.4 seconds when throwing the ball, 1.9 when kicking it.
"It had to be the perfect situation," Hood said. "It had to be they (the players) had control of the call, meaning I just called a protection and a formation, and they check it if they look out and they've got it uncovered."

Can you imagine being in a serious crash and not being able to speak and give the emergency responders your medical information? It's a situation county officials hope you never find yourself in, but if you do, they want you to be prepared.
That's why a session was held Wednesday morning to remind people about the Yellow Dot program. We told you about this program when it was first introduced back in January. The Yellow Dot sticker goes on the back drivers' side window of a car. If emergency responders see it, they know to go into your glove compartment and find a car with your medical information.
Assemblyman Mark Johns(R), 135th District, said, "It's important. As the officer said, he came upon a crash scene where somebody he thought was drunk. Turns out that they were diabetic and that's helpful. It expedites the medical process. Instead of having to bring somebody into the hospital and diagnose what the condition is, you know what the condition is as soon as you arrive on the scene."
You can get the stickers and cards at the DMV, sheriff's office substation or online.

Great Value when 3/$99
By Wink
from Broomfield, CO
About Me Comfort-oriented, Conservative, Practical
I find JAB buttons very difficult for "old" fingers. It also seems the button holes are almost too small for the already too-small buttons. I buy JAB only when 3/$99 ... otherwise I prefer other short-sleeved shirts and their more manageable buttons and button holes ... even at other exorbidate prices.

libra 1
See definition in Oxford Advanced Learner's DictionarySyllabification: li·bra
Pronunciation: /ˈlēbrə/
noun (plural librae-ˌbrī-ˌbrē)
(In ancient Rome) a unit of weight, equivalent to 12 ounces (0.34 kg). It was the forerunner of the pound.
Example sentences
- When this was borrowed by the English, they used the name penny but retained the symbol d.: twelve denarii made one solidus, and 20 solidi one pound or libra, giving the term £. s.d., which survived until decimalization in 1971.
- L, symbol for the monetary unit pound, stands for libra, Latin for pound (weight).
Latin, 'pound, balance'.
Definition of libra in:
- British & World English dictionary
- Spanish dictionary
See definition in Oxford Advanced Learner's DictionarySyllabification: Li·bra
Pronunciation: /ˈlēbrə/
1 Astronomy A small constellation (the Scales or Balance), said to represent the balance that is the symbol of justice. It contains no bright stars.
1.1 (as genitive Libraeˈlēbrēˈlī-) Used with a preceding letter or numeral to designate a star in this constellation: the star Alpha Librae
2 Astrology The seventh sign of the zodiac, which the sun enters at the northern autumnal equinox (about September 23).
2.1 (a Libra) A person born when the sun is in the sign of Libra.
Example sentences
- For context, she is a Libra, born in October, and I am a Virgo, born in September.
- I am a Leo, so I think I only tend to get attracted to girls who are Aries, Gemini, Libra or Sagittarius.
- In our conversation, she told how she had begun dating a man, a Libra, and immediately discounted him, since he would not make a quick commitment to her.
- 1
- (sense 2).Example sentences
- Irritation, fury, rage, loathing and bad dress sense - all those toxic things Librans can't usually bring themselves to acknowledge - actually carry hidden gems of wisdom.
- This week's spring Sun and love goddess Venus in the charming, congenial sign of conciliatory Librans stimulates the stylish arranging, aerobic mind-changing, power flirting and artful partying side of life.
- Beauty's more crucial than food for Librans - the zodiac's walking, talking artworks who do everything aesthetically.
Pronunciation: /ˈlēbrən/noun& adjective
level from Middle English:
The ultimate root of level is Latin libra 'scales, balance', also the source of the sign of the zodiac Libra (Late Middle English). It has many senses in English, the earliest being 'an instrument used to determine if a surface is horizontal', as in spirit level (mid 18th century). Since the 1980s the image of a level playing field has been a cliché of business and politics. In games, an uneven playing surface will favour the home side, who will be more familiar with its hazards. See also deliberate

Marvel at the engineering feat of the iconic West Gate Bridge.
Imagine yourself walking through the West Gate Bridge.
Try on some of the equipment that construction workers on the bridge must wear, take a look at the bolts used, and get a glimpse of the tunnels inside this iconic Melbourne structure.
Hi Po-Suan, the West Gate Bridge Exhibit is located on the ground floor in the turret of the main east gallery, if you cannot find it, ask one of the Customer Services Officers to point you in the right direction.
Thanks for the feedback, Bruce - as all these questions are posted on the Scienceworks web page (see the banner at the top), we've assumed that the enquirers are aware that the discussions relate to exhibitions at Scienceworks rather than the other Museum Victoria venues. We will take you comment on board when we respond to future online queries. Hope this helps, and thanks again.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

Several major arrests were made during a two-day blitz by area drug enforcement officers on Thursday and Friday. Among those arrested was Jeremiah Blackburn, 27, of Minford, for a felony charge of having a weapon under disability. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Blackburn, described by Portsmouth Post Commander Karla Taulbee, as being a convicted felon, was in possession of a .22 caliber rifle. Troopers said a search of the suspect also produced a straw with white powder residue, which he reportedly told officers was a schedule-2 Tylox.
A man wanted for rape and robbery in Marion, OH, was also taken into custody. The man was pulled over in a traffic stop and gave officers a false name and continued to be evasive until the trooper was finally able to identify him as Joshua Stanley, 22, of Marion. He was found to have several felony warrants for his arrests entered by the Marion Police Department. Those warrants were for rape and robbery. An investigator from the Marion Police Department contacted the post after finding out Stanley was arrested. He then passed on his appreciation from the apprehension of the suspect considered dangerous.
Two people were arrested during the stop of a southbound vehicle from Dayton. Charged with aggravated trafficking in drugs, were Stacey Dupree, 44, and Earl Jackson, 31, both of Dayton. Further investigation revealed Dupree was concealing 77 grams of heroin on her person.
Law enforcement officers focused on the drug problem during the two-day blitz. The multi-agency effort included the Scioto County Sheriff's Office; the Portsmouth Police Department; the Scioto County Prosecutor's Office; the New Boston Police Department; the Scioto County Probation Office; the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the Ohio Investigative Unit; the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation; High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA), and the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. As a result of the exercise, officers made seven OVI arrests; 10 felony arrests; executed four felony and eight misdemeanor warrants.
Taulbee said law enforcement has been able to make a lot of arrests locally because of inter-department cooperation. She said her department was involved in the arrest last week of Aaron Pack of Wheelersburg for armed robbery and theft charges. Pack was charged by both the New Boston Police Department and the Scioto County Sheriff's Office,
"I was proud of my people last week," Taulbee said. "Our undercover agents hunted that guy all day long, following up on leads and leads and leads and leads. They finally found him. They gave him to New Boston, New Boston got a confession. They took him to the jail and Jodi (Conkel) got a confession, so all four agencies were involved in that and they worked well together. The Portsmouth Police Department went to the house with New Boston and got him. That's how it works."

Don't even consider letting one of those notebooks even get close to your lap, you'll be feeling more than just the pain of defeat.

ASUS Eee PC 4G-X with XP - Review and available at Best Buy
Subject: Mobile | April 7, 2008 - 12:20 AM | Ryan Shrout
The ASUS Eee PC has been a runaway hit with the press and buyers looking for a strong dose of mobility, and the line gets a big boost today with a release of the first Eee PC's with Windows XP pre-installed. My review covers the hardware, which remains completely unchanged from the original Linux-based system, as well as what you can expect from the system while using Windows XP. The short of it: more flexibility and usability.
More of the same, but more appealing
The ASUS Eee PC may not be for everyone but with a new Windows XP version that maintains the same $399 price point it might find a way into your home whether you originally were interested or not.
Windows XP lives on!

In case you were worried that your beloved Windows XP was going high-tail it out of here like the Dodo, have no fear: as long as your buying super lower power mobile machines it should continue to be available until June 30, 2010.
Redmond (WA) - Microsoft has announced that it plans to extend its
support of Windows XP, its nearly seven-year-old operating system,
because many computers in the market today are simply unable to run
Windows Vista.

A big improvement in midrange mobile performance
Subject: Mobile | March 28, 2008 - 02:47 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The Gateway P-6831 FX offers some impressive performance for a sub $1500 laptop.

Drake University of Des Moines, Iowa is preparing to travel as a team to Africa in May 2011, and play the inaugural American football game ever on the continent! Led by Head Coach Chris Creighton, the Drake Bulldogs are going to play a college football game in Arusha, Tanzania, under the shadows of Mount Kilimanjaro. Their opponent will be travel to Africa from Mexico, representing the newly restructured league of private universities, CONADEIP. The majority of teams in this league are from the Tec de Monterrey (ITESM) campuses scattered across the country, whose members have captured 10 of the past 11 National Championships at the collegiate level.
Game: Drake, located in Des Moines, Iowa is an NCAA Division I-FCS non-scholarship school, just like the Ivy League schools, and has reached out to Patrick Steenberge of Global Football to produce the game. CONADEIP will start its inaugural season in fall 2010, having restructured to provide a highly competitive schedule for the long-dominant private universities in Mexico which all competed in the ONEFA league previously. A select team of players will be selected to represent the league.
Dates: Game Day will be Saturday, May 21, while the teams' tours will run May 17-June 1. Tour highlights/dates include:
- May 17- Depart USA
- May 18- Arrive Kilimanjaro Airport, transfer to Moshi
- May 19-20- Practice, youth clinic, safari
- May 21- Global Kilimanjaro Bowl, Drake Bulldogs vs CONADEIP Mexico
- May 22-24- Youth orphanage service project
- May 25-30- Climb Mount Kilimanjaro
- May 31- Flight home; arrive June 1
Statement of Purpose
In the past decade I have had the chance to travel with Coach Chris Creighton as he led his teams to Austria and Panama. We are kindred spirits in travel, adventure and our beliefs that we who are so fortunate should reach out, experience, learn from other cultures, and help others as possible.
Life changed in January 2010 when Coach told me of his dream, supported by Drake athletic director, Sandy Hatfield Clubb, and asked me to find an opponent that would share this dream and travel to Africa to play. Seven months later, Student Affairs Director Enrique Ramos of Tec de Monterrey University Mexico, heartily embraced the same vision.
Now we work together, preparing to do something very special and historical, something that will impact the lives of the college student athletes from Mexico and the US who travel to Tanzania to compete, to live out an adventure, and to serve. They will in turn impact the lives of thousands of youngsters in Tanzania, now and in the future. In addition, they will bring a dynamic team sport to Africa, known as American football.
We have a stellar 'team' working to achieve all our goals, but need others to join us, to make the Global Kilimanjaro Bowl historical in many ways for so many people.
So I say to you the most common word in Swahili, 'Karibu', or Welcome.
Come join us!
Ahsante San (thank you),
Patrick Steenberge

Rising star Julia in town
Posted: January 17, 2013|
ONE OF the UK's most highly regarded singer/songwriters kicks off the new year of gigs at the Studio Lounge in Totnes tomorrow night.
Described by critics as the new Norah Jones, Julia Biel (pictured) is set to release her second album, a self-penned collection of jazzy/folk/pop songs.
Hailed by The Independent as 'the best British vocalist to emerge in an age', her credits include featured lead vocals with Mercury Prize nominated cult band Polar Bear, and collaborations with Everything But The Girl svengali Ben Wright.
Joining Julia on this double header UK tour is Phil King, who also has two albums under his belt and performs regularly in Paris, Zurich, Barcelona, and New York.
Kicking off the evening will be Totnes' very own Crow Puppets, who have created something of a stir around Devon since forming in 2012. Crow Puppets is the folk/pop creation of Cara Roxanne and Emma Marshall.
The 2013 season at the Studio Lounge will include folk legend Steve Tilston, Broadway multi-award winner Barb Jungr, Liz Lawrence, Lotte Mullen, who is currently in production with Elton John on a film about her rise through the musical ranks, and even the reformed 1990s pop icons Dodgy in June.
Tickets for tomorrow's gig can be bought on the door.
For more information, click www.studioloungetotnes.com or call 01803 862267, or even visit the box office on Wills Road on the Totnes Trading Estate.

The 100 PSU football players currently on the team should not be punished. However the 100,000 adult fans who treat Paterno like a god should be punished.
After Paterno was making all those personal attacks on ordinary folk who simply reported that Curtis Ennis wasobviously accepting payments from an agent, the PSU admin should have said "Joe, you will be retiring after the bowl game" but the Joe Worshippers, including the media, would have rioted. Time to punish all by saying no PSU fan born prior to 1980 be allowed to ever again watch a game again at Beaver Stadium.
A simple tact that may avoid the death penalty.
Without Gifford Pinchot, 99% o our country would be without trees, and we would be well on our way to becoming Saudi Arabia. Oh, that't right, you GOP types admire Saudi Arabia.
If your father and/or your church give you a debt free education(multiple Ivy degrees), and your father gives you a million dollar start to seek your fortune, and your father will repeat that one or two more times, and your father is willing to guarantee your family never falls into poverty, it is not that difficult to acquire a fortune. This applies to Romney (and Bush41, Trump, Steve Forbes, the Koch brothers). As a businessman, I would probably have more respect for Herman Cain.
I was recently hiking in Tuscarora State Park, Schuylkill Co. The trail began near the boat launch area, where I observed a gentleman, obviously a volunteer picking up cigarette butts with the device designed primarily for that purpose. He was very busy.
What struck me was that many of these butts were likely cast to the ground by fishermen. Do these fishermen also toss them in the lake? Do they realize a fish will strike on a cigarette butt? A fish may survive digesting tobacco and paper, but there is a real good chance that ingesting a filter will be fatal.
Probably the state cannot pay people enough to enforce smoking bans, but I think it can afford to post signs. Those signs could include the statement that if you violate that law, you forfeit your right to protection from someone assaulting you for smoking.
Yep CD3. not only is PSU the strongest wrestling team in NCAA 1, the teams APR is in the top 74 of 84 D1 wrestling programs. And it is over a year since any of the guys has been accused of a felony.
I am sure he has the same level of sanity as John DuPont.
When Germany is was being defeated and occupied at the end of WW2, Ike ordered the general populace be forced to walk thru the concentration camps to see what horrors their worship of Hitler had caused.
Obviously, this case is not of the magntudeof the holocaust. But PSU fans refuse to accept that their worship of Paterno and his football team likely doubled the number of victims. If you don't want to accept a season or two of death penalty, then be adult enough to never again go to a game at Beaver stadium.
We constantly hear PSU fans saying "don't punish the present players and students for something they had nothing to do with". However all the fans and Alumni who treated Paterno as a god and Beaver Stadium as his pantheon are part of the problem. So we should all agree on this compromise. Allow football to continue, but NEVER again admit a PSU fan born before 1980 to the stadium. Everyone would need to show an ID indicating they were born Jan 1, 1980 or later. I would allow exception for close relatives of players, cheerleaders, or band. And they could be admitted, of course, if they could demonstrate they are fans of the visiting team via forms like alumni cards or members of boosters clubs for the visiting team.
Don't punish the Innocent, but every PSU fan who reached adulthood (age 18) by the time the cover-up began in 1998 is guilty, they are unindicted co-conspirators. Every bar owner, every sports clothing store that sells PSU gear will lose money, and they should, because the y supported the Paterno cult.
What about the other 27~ sports? Let their specific fans support them. My alma mater has almost as many sports at the same level, and they achieve success, without $millions from football.
Romney's vist to Carboncounty was Instuctive.
He avoided the county's largest employer, Kovatch, because their primary business is building fire trucks, ambulances,rescue equipment, and police cars. Romney's position is that cops, firemen, EMTs, etc are lazy folks who contribut nothing to society. And Kovatch's use of solar powers to generate electricity??
And he avoided any of the companies involved in the county's largest industry, tourism, because most of the outdoor recreation companies depend on a healthy environment.
Hiding that much money in foreign accounts, not to invest in a subidiary in that country, but clearly to avoid US taxes is the same as denouncing your citizenship. Romney should not just be unelectable, he should not be allowed to vote.

So what you are saying Jack is that Religions that do not oppose abortion are not legitimate. You would say that outlawing those religions is fine, religions like Methodist, Luthern, Episcopal, Buddist, Hindu, Most Judism are invalid. But Islam,Catholic, and Mormonismare acceptable state religions.
Actually, I would be shocked that anyone can get any kind of a degree, even the most basic certification without CPR-AED and at least basic first aid. Heck, if you have a bachelors degree in athletic trining or phys ed (etc) you should have at least gone thru the ~120 hours to get an EMT cerification. Any teacher, and 100's of other professions, should have gotten CPR and at least basic first aid training.
Darice, I hope the person who sponsored this legislation is the first victim.
When the military sponsors wrestling, track, swimming, water polo, and a few others, they are trying to recruit the best athletes to become soldiers. Whenrecruiting football, basketball, and some other sports they are going after a group that can produce some good soldiers. When the recruit Nascar or drag racing fans, they are going after cannon fodder.
This shows what a sick,mentally ill organization the Republican party is. They are so against regulation they remove a regulation that no quality business has any difficulty complying with.
OK since almost no GOP types have actual knowledge of CPR-AED I will inform you that your first class(red Cross) may take 4-5 hours followed by a renewal every 2 years that akes 2-3 hours. Not all that difficult to train most of your staff.
So answer this Pastor. If the Catholic Church does not try to limit Religous freedom, was does it try to outlaw abortion? The great majority of religions, the great majority of christian sects approve abortion. Yet you (the catholic church) intend to outlaw abortion. Why does the cath ch support the defense of marriage act? Why has the catholic church tried to outlaw birth control? (recently in countries like Italy and Ireland, at least as recently as the 1960's in the U.S.
Can I assume that all payments to businesses for goods and services will be reduced to reflect that all employees, including owners and corporate officers, are only receiving mimimum wage? Any corporate officer who refuses to provide goods or services at that price will be arrested.
Check- So you agree that if man can destroy have the trees in North America - and likely the planet you agree he can raise the temp 10 degrees. Fine, an actual starting point. Now we can discuss whether or not raising the temperature is a good thing. (If you think so, I suggest you move to Miami Beach.) Just like we can discuss whether or not mass deforestation is a good thing. Whether the massacre of the Chestnut and Elm is a good thing. But you are wrong to say there has been an increase in the number of true plant and animal species. Maybe the number of bacteria species has increased, but not true plants. And we are likely down at least 25-250 vertebrate species in that 250 years. If you think deforestation is great, move to Easter Island.
You must love someone like Rudd who thinks summer occurs everywhere in the world in June-August and Winter Dec-Feb.
You know, in the past natural conditions have caused great forests to turn into grasslands or even deserts. So obviously it is nature to blame for North America to have 10 billion fewer trees than 250 years ago. Humans certainly could not have caused 50% deforestation if they could not cause a half per cent rise intemperature.
Alan + R2D2 - Oldtime Harrisburg residents remember the September 1965 heat wave - then the summer of 1966, featuring the 3 hottest days ever in July of that year. So why was the Solar max for PERIOD 20 in November 1968 the cause of this heat wave? Should not the max have been like November of 1965. I will let you two experts in the science of climate change denial fight it out.
As for me, I believe those 2 mid-atlantic (not nationwide) heat waves were greatly contributed to by 5 years of summertime drought 1962-66. those periods were hot but not humid - it was quite enjoyable to do 5 mile runs at midnight.

Jeffrey Reed
About Jeff: I am married and have one young son who I love very much. We live in Algonquin, IL. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, running, and reading for pleasure.
Previous Legal and/or Professional Experience: I studied Political Science as an undergraduate and then worked in business after graduation. I worked various corporate jobs, including 5 years as a pricing strategist, and a product manager for three and a half years. Though I have many interests, law has always been one of them.
Why did you choose NIU Law? I decided to come to NIU Law over other schools because my father-in-law and several friends had gone here and said it was a great academic experience and that debt after graduation was manageable.
What activities do you want to be involved in? I am open to ways to become involved at NIU Law, with a primary concern for helping people who don't have means to help themselves. I am involved with the American Constitution Society and am leaning towards working in civil law or maybe product liability after graduation.
This interview was conducted in Fall 2013.

Outlast has been out on the PC for quite some time now, but this past week, it was released on the Playstation 4. It is this months free game on the store if you are a Playstation Plus member. It is worth the download if you're looking for something different to enjoy. The game is a survival horror, thiller set in an insane asylum.
Outlast is about a journalist who gets a tip about Mount Massive insane asylum and the things that are going on there. Armed with just a video camera, you are to investigate what the company is hiding. In a sense of a typical horror game, this is something different and more somewhat of a realistic feel to it since there are no weapons available to defend yourself with. The environment is very crisp and clean for what can be seen since most of the time is spent in the dark. An interesting take on the game to see through the dark is to use nightvision on the camera. You all so need to find batteries to keep it charged. The game can be completed in one sitting, so it a very short game. If you are a trophy hunter, the trophies are pretty straight forward. Outlast offers four different difficulty settings and if you are up for a challenge, play the game on insane mode. On insane mode, there are no checkpoints and saves which means the game has to be completed in one sitting and you also can not die, otherwise, you will start at the beginning. unfortunately the game has some cons.
Again, the game is very short, but it is free (for Playstation Plus members) so really can not complain on that front. A major con is not being able to defend yourself, so the whole game is running and hiding from the enemy which can make for a boring playthrough. A minor issue is that there is no map, so some players may become lost, but there really is no need for a map.
Overall is a fun game to play and there are no issues unless you get to the end and die on insane. This game gets a 4 out of 5. If you are looking for a scare, download Outlast, turn out the lights, and have fun.

Dear Style & Substance:
Whenever I want to talk about something important with my boss, partner or children I get anxious. Sometimes I become so nervous I give up before I start.
I can't organize my thoughts, they are left unspoken, or I come across as frustrated or aggressive.
How can I become a better communicator?
We call what you are searching for "the sweet spot" of communication, which is different for everyone. This "sweet spot" of communication won't come all at once, but with work, introspection, and trial and error, these suggestions should help you become a better communicator.
— Try to address issues before a crisis occurs. This may seem like common sense, but difficult situations are often ignored or minimized and then, through inaction, lead to a breaking point and a crisis. Sincerity and direct communication are generally appreciated.
— When you have an inkling that something you said was misperceived, speak up. Say something such as, "I think what I said was misunderstood and what I really meant was …"
— Assess your values and your motivations. What do you want the conversation to result in?
— Begin with a positive thought. "I need your help solving a problem," is a great way to open a conversation, because you are inviting another to help with the solution instead of focusing on the problem. This simple statement sets the tone for a conversation rather than a confrontation.
— Focus on finding an outcome that will satisfy everyone. You may have to be flexible and make changes to improve the situation or the relationship.
— Have regular conversations with friends, family, and colleagues whenever possible; getting into the routine of talking with someone will help when tough topics need to be addressed. Establishing healthy relationships during times of ease and comfort will give you the strength and skills to have more difficult conversations in the future.

While balancing his magazine career, John began writing "Boy Still Missing" after the first sentence came to him while cleaning under his bed. In 2001, the book was published and went on to become a national bestseller. Hailed as "riveting" by The New York Times and "hypnotic" by Entertainment Weekly, the novel inspired Time magazine to name him a "Person to Watch" and the New York Daily News to name him a "New Yorker to Watch." His second novel, "Strange but True," also a national bestseller, was praised as "sinister and complex" by Janet Maslin of The New York Times and "extraordinary" by Publishers Weekly. Both novels have been optioned for film, and John wrote the screenplay to Strange but True, which has been purchased by GreeneStreet Films in partnership with award-winning producer Ross Katz and will be filmed in Canada in Fall 2013. His most recent novel, published by Harper Collins, "Help for the Haunted" was released late last fall.
Numerous authors from this region and beyond will be reading throughout the day.

Forest officials say what the area is seeing right now with all these different fires is actually not atypical for fall.
On days like today, with a red flag warning, the potential for danger is even higher.
the Midnight fire has already burned more than 320 acres as it continues moving closer to Red River.
As we transition from the monsoon season and into the cooler fall months, forest officials say stronger winds and less moisture also come along with it, making for prime conditions for fires anytime of the year in New Mexico.
New Mexico forestry official Dan Ware said, "As we get into the winter months it starts cooling off and people aren't really as mindful, maybe, as they could be or should be; that depending on the weather situation in New Mexico we could have a fire at any time during the year."
Ware also said the same rules apply now as they do in the summer when it comes to landscaping. Keep your weeds low and your grass trimmed so if there is a fire, fuels are kept to a minimum.

After a long career at Goldman Sachs, Robert Hormats joined the U.S. Department of State more than 3 years ago to be Under Secretary for Economic Growth, Energy and the Environment. It's a big title for a big job: playing advocate for the U.S technology, energy and green tech industries around the world.
Forbes sat down with Hormats at this week's Techonomy conference in Tucson, Arizona. We talked about the government's role in advocating for U.S. technology company's overseas, among other things. Hormats also expressed support for the idea of making it easier for U.S. educated foreign students in science and technology to stay in the country after they graduate.
