Leadtek K7N420-DA nForce Motherboard Review
The layout of the Winfast K7N420DA is rather disappointing. You only get a 1/4/1 (AGP/PCI/Riser) layout. Even with the onboard peripherals that come with the board, 4 PCI slots just aren't going to cut it. Just think, adding in a RAID, second NIC, USB 2.0 Controller card or Firewire card and you're down 2-3 slots. The ACR slot is useless since the board has onboard 6ch audio so this space is wasted where another PCI slot could have gone.
Powering the K7N420DA is the nForce 420D Northbridge Controller. This chipset before its release was the most talked about chipset since the KX133. This chipset, according to sources and hardware fanatics, was supposed to revolutionize AMD Athlon systems. This was because of the 128-bit memory controller built into the 128IGP-D Northbridge. When released, we soon found out that even though the memory controller in 128-bit mode delivering upwards of 4.2GB/s bandwidth, the AMD Athlon processor would only use 2.1GB/s max for it's interface. This made the extra memory performance totally useless. The IGP128-D also integrated nVidia's Geforce2 MX video controller. This also was supposed to revolutionize Integrated PC's with a fast onboard video solution, however, due to its SMA with the system memory for the video card, it turned out quite less than stellar.
Coupled with the MCP-D Southbridge you get a standard ATA-100 IDE controller which proved to be one of the fastest in its time. Also with the MCP-D you get 6ch Dolby Certified Surround sound via AC'97 audio. This chip was the best AC'97 audio ever release and still carries quite a bit of respect. This Southbridge would have been a great hybrid Southbridge, but SiS, VIA and AMD didn't use HyperTransport for the interconnect so this Southbridge only got used by a chipset with a bad reputation.
Dolby Audio
As mentioned above, the MCP-D allows for Dolby Digital Surround decoding. This means that the MCP-D does the audio signal processing from the Dolby source (being DVD in this case) and converts the signal to either 6 channel Analogue outputs as provided by the external brackets for the 2 front, 2 rear speaker and the Center and Sub channels, or it can be sent directly to the Coaxial port for connection to other Dolby devices such as stereo players.
nForce LAN: This is actually the best part of the nForce
Another interesting feature of the MCP-D is the ACR link to the LAN controller. The chip above is nVidia's own LAN controller chip so Windows does detect it as nVidia LAN rather than either Realtek or SiS LAN. This controller was actually one of the best I have ever used. When running my DSL modem this card created less lag packets than any other I have used so far. One good step for nVidia.
Leadtek has added some, but very few overclocking features to their motherboard. Using an Award BIOS, Leadtek has added its own sub-menu called X-BIOS-II. This is where you will find the overclocking controls for the board. The options are pretty plain and simple with no hardcore overclocking in mind.
First off you get the FSB adjustments. Unlike many boards out there, this board does not allow 1MHz increments. You are given a set amount of FSB speeds and that's it. These speeds are 100MHz, 112MHz, 120MHz, 127MHz, 133MHz, 140MHz, 147MHz, 150MHz. That's is. Pretty lackluster here.
Next you get your voltage control for the CPU. Again you get limited control. Voltage is settable from CPU default to 0.125v of normal making your maximum setting when using Athlon XP's at 1.85v Next you get AGP voltage. This is settable from 1.5v to 1.7v in 0.1v steps. DDR Voltage is also adjustable. You get the same options like the AGP voltage, 2.5v to 2.7v in 0.1v increments. This does help when running 128-bit mode.
Overclocking our board, we found that running 150MHz was impossible. The onboard systems became too unstable and data corruption across the IDE channels was huge. 140MHz was the absolute maximum we could get to run with any stability.

I can't recommend them highly enough!!
In short: initial order,castle went missing with carrier.
Raised with W.W.W and although there were stock issues with the item (In the mean time, sold out on other sites, I was getting desperate)- they located another for express delivery to ensure my 4yr wasn't devistated for Xmas.
There were drawn out issues with delivery(s) but this was mainly down to the unseasonal weather..........!! and not W.W.W
W.W.W's commitment to genuine customer service is second to none and as a web site exceed many high street retailers.
Thank you

Spooky Science: Unexplained Sounds from the Deep
2012-10-29 0:00
With Halloween approaching, its natural to wonder just a little bit more than usual about things that go "bump" in the night. But what about things that go "bloop" in the deep sea?
Poltergeists, witches and ghosts arent the only source for spooky seasonal mystery. In fact, scientists monitoring the oceans have uncovered a handful of sounds that cant be explained at least not with any certainty.
With names like "The Bloop," "Train" and "Julia," the sounds have been captured by hydrophones, or underwater microphones, monitored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Here are the six most mysterious noises ever heard in the sea, and what might have made them.
1. The Bloop
The decidedly nonspooky nickname for this sound does little to dispel the mystery surrounding it. In 1997, NOAA hydrophones picked up one of the loudest sounds ever recorded off the southern coast of South America: the Bloop (which sounds like, well, a bloop), was recorded by two hydrophones nearly 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers) apart.
The Bloop mimics marine animal sounds in some ways, but its volume is too great to be made by any sea creatures known to science. If your imagination is running away from you, youre not alone: Plenty of listeners have jokingly linked the Bloop to Cthulhu, a fictional part-octopus monster created by sci-fi writer H.P. Lovecraft in 1928.
Deep-sea monsters aside, NOAA holds the most likely explanation for The Bloop is that it was the sound of a large iceberg fracturing. These "icequakes" have been recorded in the Scotia Sea and sound very similar to the mystery 1997 Bloop. If a cracking iceberg were the source, according to NOAA, it would have likely been floating between the Bransfield Strait and the Ross Sea of Antarctica, or perhaps at Cape Adare in East Antarctica.
2. Julia
This weird noise, which sounds almost like someone cooing or whining, occurred on March 1, 1999. The eastern equatorial Pacific autonomous array (a network of hydrophones) picked up this strange sound.
Like the Bloop, Julia is most likely the sound of ice. In this case, NOAA researchers suspect the hydrophones picked up the sound of a large Antarctic iceberg running into the seafloor.
3. Upsweep
This sound is like the scratch of branches against your bedroom window, in that it happens again and again and again. To the ears, Upsweep sounds like an ambulance wail or perhaps an unearthly creatures howl. Its been picked up by hydrophones seasonally since 1991, peaking in the spring and fall. The source of the sound appears to be an area of undersea volcanic activity, but scientists have yet to pin down exactly whats causing it.

Man arrested in shooting death during fight
Witnesses: Gun fired accidentally
PRINCETON, Ind. - A man from Louisiana was arrested on a voluntary manslaughter charge in the death of a southwest Indiana man during a fight.
Claude Arender, 53, of Choushatta, Louisiana, was being held Sunday in the Gibson County Jail in Princeton, about 25 miles north of Evansville.
Witnesses told investigators that Arender's handgun discharged when he intervened in a fight between Raheim Bright, 21, of Vincennes, and another man early Friday morning.
Police said Arender told them he shot Bright.
Princeton Police Chief W.W. George said a group of men had been at a bar before going across the street to a duplex.
Arender had not been at the bar, George said, but came outside and confronted Bright with a small handgun.
"The story that I'm getting is that he went to strike the victim upside the head with the butt of the gun and it discharged and shot him in the head," George told the Evansville Courier & Press .
A hearing was set for July 17.

The KNS has a feature article about an area "doomsday prepper" who will be making an appearance on the National Geographic series.
The article links to the guy's YouTube channel. Most of his videos are about basic survival, food hoarding, etc. But you will also find videos about firearms training with semi-automatic pistols and AR-15 and AK-47 assault rifles, a video about protecting your gun rights, and a "post-election" video urging viewers to stock up on assault rifles and high capacity magazines.
In his "post election" video, the guy also says the government is going to implant RFID chips in everyone sometime in the next few months to track all our movements, and that he cashed in his 401K to prepare for the apocalypse because "my retirement is in the Kingdom of Heaven."
The KNS article doesn't mention anything about the obsession with firearms, and portrays the guy as a bit eccentric but mostly harmless.
PREVIOUISLY: Gun nuts
Groupon deal of the day: $39
Groupon deal of the day: $39 for Shooting-Range Package for Two ($90 Value)
From the KNS article:
He works a day job as a warehouse manager in Knoxville and volunteers as a Boy Scout cubmaster and unit leader.
Because I have previously advocated here and elsewhere in support of the Boy Scouts of America program, I'd like to go on record to assert my belief that this particular "Cubmaster and unit leader" appears not to have undergone a thorough enough background check.
Do hope the organization gets on that really fast...
Don't know about scout leader
(in reply to Tamara Shepherd)
Don't know about scout leader requirements. What would preclude him from being one?
There's nothing in current state or federal law that precludes him from owning assault rifles or high capacity magazines, or training with them or making internet videos about it.
In some of his videos he is careful to point out that it's all for educational purposes and he isn't advocating violence against anyone.
And if anyone questions his mental state because of the beliefs he espouses they are attacking his religious faith.
As it currently stands, it's a curious situation.
I guess, as Michael put it,
(in reply to metulj)
I guess, as Michael put it, he's entitled to his opinion on that!
The story does mention his
The story does mention his belief that we will all be microchipped. But it is a huge omission to leave out the guns.
Deductively, if one were of this mindset, it would make more sense to find a more communal situation in order to survive, but what's going on here is completely the opposite. These are misanthropes for the most part.
Exactly, Toby.
I'm a bit of a "prepper" myself--not that I'd dream of pulling $50K from retirement savings, laying in years worth of food and drink, and arming myself to the teeth to fend off the Allies of Satan.
Really, my only thought is to be able to provide sustanance and comfort for a few days--maybe longer--for my own family and any neighbors in need, just through a natural disaster or more remotely following an outside attack of a "9/11" nature or some such.
I first took a few actions of this sort during the years I lived in Southern California, where earthquakes, wildfires, and mudslides happen fairly routinely and local governments advise preparedness. I added a bit more "gear" over time primarily as a consequence of having acquired it during my years as a Scout leader.
But again, my preparedness lacks this me-and-mine-against-the-world, kill-anybody-trys-to-eat-my-grub kind of mentality this guy demonstrates.
On the contrary, my instinct really is "communal," like you advise makes more sense in any "worst case," and my instinct in any emergency I truly believe would be to share anything I could.
So, Randy, as what might preclude this guy from being a Scout leader, I can't exactly say. He's pretty weird, though, and I do know that "a Scout is helpful, friendly, courteous, and kind???"
I'm wondering where he imagines the AK-47s fit into that Scout Law and I think he sounds mentally unstable.
And if anyone questions his mental state because of the beliefs he espouses they are attacking his religious faith.
An afterthought on this topic, Randy: The religious faith he professes, namely Christianity, predicts a "rapture" which would presumably remove him from the action at the "end of time."
This guy doesn't accept the notion of any "rapture," though, and has instead concocted his own notion of how he should contend with the events his professed religion says he won't even be around to witness.
His "religious faith," then, is completely unrelated to the organized religion of Christianity and his war-like preparations most certainly aren't directed by the Bible.
The more I think about it, the more inclined I am to phone Council on Monday morning and suggest to them that this guy poses yet another problem to The Brand--to say nothing of the potential risk inherent in sending one's kids off on a two-night Camporee with a stark raving lunatic.
Seriously. I think BSA needs to hear from concerned citizens about him.
Rapture (not Blondie's version)
(in reply to Tamara Shepherd)
(in reply to Tamara)
Actually, Tamara, the rapture is not a universally accepted idea within the Christian community. So, it's not like he's "invented" his own brand of Christianity.
It comes down to how one interprets a few choice verses regarding the return of the Christ. The over-simplified version boils down to two camps: pre-tribulation and post-tribulation (or pre-tribs and post-tribs as my Sunday school teacher used to call them). Pre-tribulation rapturists believe that the Christ would return to collect his faithful followers before all hell broke loose. This is the school of thought popularized by Tim Lehaye's books, Jerry Falwell and others. It is a concept that was more or less concocted in the 19th century and for a good long while was a uniquely American view.
Post-tribs naturally believe the Christ will come to collect "His church" after the tribulations. This, I believe, is the view generally held by the Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Lutherans and other mainstream denominations.
Our prepper sounds like a post-trib. Basically, I only point all of this out to say that he can be considered a kook for a variety of reasons, but not because he holds beliefs out of line with his professed religion. It's just that his professed religion does not have a universally accepted doctrine on this particular question.
I was raised in the Catholic
(in reply to tennesseevaluesauthority)
I was raised in the Catholic Church. We went to church every Sunday and Sunday school as well. I even went to a Catholic school for 1st and 2nd grades. I have to say I never heard anything about "rapture".
I did a quick Google search on Catholics and rapture (post-trib). I found this in one of the results.
Are you Pre, Mid, or Post? If you don't know how to answer that question, you're probably a Catholic.
We attended Immaculate Conception Church (conservative I suppose) until I was about 8 or 10, then moved over to John XXIII on the UT campus (hippy liberals). However, I have to admit I do not attend church much at all now, but when I do it is still that hippy, liberal church on campus.
The closest I've come to a disaster is being trapped above Tremont during last summer's wind storm. It was amazing how people pulled together to share comfort, comforters, food, towels etc. I'd like to think people would react with cohesion rather than malice and this guy is just an outlier.
Yeah, to the extent that I stockpile (somewhat) this stuff beyond what might be needed by my own family, it's due to my realization that some people aren't prepared at all.
My late mother, for instance, had an entire living room cabinet stuffed with decorative piller and votive candles, but I discovered she had not one lighter or kitchen match in her whole house. Neither did she own a manual can opener. Neither did she stash a single empty milk jug of drinking water anywhere.
When I realized she needed those things, I got 'em for her.
I also recall a widespread power outage one evening after which I noticed the rental house across the road and down a ways appeared not to light up with any candles or oil lamps. Its tenants were a couple of twenty-something young men whom I rightly predicted had never given such emergencies a thought.
I gathered up a dollar flashlight, two pillar candles in an aluminum pie pan, and a disposable lighter and went with the mister to deliver them to our neighbors.
The guys were so relieved, when the power returned the next day they baked me a cake!
It takes little money to keep a few extras on hand and it takes little space to store them. My experience is that someone near and/or dear is gonna need 'em!
Timely Tip: Vagabond Stoves and Buddy Burners
BTW, have you ever seen these Vagabond Stoves, as the Girl Scouts used to call them, made from emptied three pound coffee cans?
The fuel source the decades-old Girl Scout manual used to suggest was a so-called Buddy Burner, made using an empty tuna can.
The manual of the 1960's used to call for melted paraffin to be poured into the tuna can to make the burner, but I've made them with young girls and boys, both, using just old broken crayons for wax.
Even kids can cook burgers, dogs, salmon croguettes, grilled cheese sandwiches, and pancakes and sausage directly on top of the can (although an adult should use two potholders to steady the can when the child is ready to "flip" these foods). You can also place a lightweight saucepan on top of the can to heat soups and such.
To snuff out the burner's flame, all you do is flip the coffee can upside down (with potholders, of course) and set it atop the tuna can.
Anyway, got eight or ten in the garage, ready to go when you need one, and maybe ten or twleve empty coffee cans on hand, too, to make your own. Just ask!
Is there a brand that is
(in reply to Tamara Shepherd)
Is there a brand of coffee that is packaged in cans these days?
Generally, store brands are still packed in metal cans (which is what this cheapskate buys, of coures).
Or I have a couple of empty cans to spare?!
No, I happen to have some old
(in reply to Tamara Shepherd)
No, I happen to have some old coffee cans left over from when Folgers, Yuban, and Don Franciscos were packaged in cans. I've never cooked with one, but they do come in handy.
Thanks for that, TV.
I was familiar only with the "pre-tribs" doctrine and imagined our prepper had put some twist on same.
But tell me, do "post-tribs" cite any scripture instructive of a need to take on such "war-like" preparations as this fellow is?
(Or possibly I'll need to confine my complaint to this matter of his being a poor manager of his (earthly) resources???)
I'm not aware of any.
(in reply to Tamara Shepherd)
And any genuine Christian who believed in an eminent Rapture would not be so self-directed as to wall himself off from the impending chaos. He would be worried about the lost and would be reaching out to others and channeling his energy and resources into bringing as many people into the Kingdom of Heaven as possible before the End Times.
His reaction is what is wrong with modern Christianity, in a nutshell. I defy anyone to find the message, "I've got mine; you're all screwed", anywhere in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
It does make you wonder if
(in reply to Min)
It does make you wonder if he's read the Beatitudes.
Min and Pam, I want each of you to have one of these three pound metal coffee cans...

Riding on the tails of Mexico?s freshly upgraded credit rating, Grupo Televisa, the Spanish-language television broadcaster, was able to raise $300 million with 30-year plain vanilla bond in the international market.
At a time when most Latin American governments, banks and
companies must invent complex structures to raise financing at
affordable rates, Mexican issuers are able to attract investors
with good old plain vanilla bonds at rock bottom prices. Now,
Grupo Televisa, the Mexican media group that is also the
world's largest Spanish-language broadcaster, has become the
first private-sector issuer in Latin America to successfully
launch a 30-year plain vanilla bond, further extending the
yield curve for Mexican corporates. At the beginning of March,
Televisa raised $300 million with a 30-year 144a bond with an
8.5% coupon led by Deutsche Bank Alex Brown, JP Morgan
Securities and Citigroup. Just as remarkable, the company
attracted five times the original issue and decided to upsize
the bond by $50 million. Says Alfonso de Angoitia, Televisa's
chief financial officer, "A lot of people who were focused

Does anyone else see the fatal flaw in this logic? The market is flooded with highly educated job seekers so the solution is to contiue to flood it with even more highly educated jon seekers? Soon you won't be able to teach nursery school withou a PHD, it's madness. What ever happened to things like on the job training and personal aptitude counting for something?
Sounds like doubling down on stupid to me. How about some data and analysis on how successful these grad students are in finding jobs? What areas are they earning degrees in?
I can imagine an effective system of skill and task based testing would provide a cheaper and more efficient system for employers to gauge and pick candidates. Unfortunately, fears of disparate impact will prevent such wide scale implementation of test based systems. As such, we will continue with our widely inefficient way of picking candidates by correlating educational attainment with capacity. A system that has been shown to be not only expensive, but also shown poor correlation (candidate selection is quite the crap shoot).
These kids are getting scammed while the education industry laughs all the way to the bank (who they are in cahoots with).
What do you call a monkey with a PhD in skill that nobody has any desire to employ? Dr. Unemployed Monkey with a ton of student loan debt.
I don't understand the flaws with going back to school to try to better the chances of getting employment and making contacts. Networking events don't always equal jobs. Neither does a degree entitle anyone to a job. But the Master's degree gives options and beats out the BA, now the high school diploma to hiring managers.
With good research and a definite answer of what I would want to do, I am sure I could become gainfully employed in my field. However, this will delay my entry into the real world, which I still can't have by making $9/hour with my college degree in business.
Hola Amigos:
Lots of "Hope" but no "change". Vote for Mr. Obama.
Why not take out those debts towards a small business? The same US Gov. is backing up those loans too. Except the borrower is the beneficiary rather than the University. Plus there is a better chance of actual earnings potential.
"the flaws with going back to school to try to better the chances of getting employment and making contacts" is that there is no evidence that school below the top ranks can do that. Just look the news, and compare the job search results of CCNA and your major in master. There is no pre-requisite for CCNA certification. You can go to sites like 9tut.com to get the current test questions. Get the CCNA book from CISCO and work the tests. For less than $500 and 6 months' self study, you get a chace for those CCNA postings. And go to payscale and compare CCNA pay with Master in your field. Base your decision on facts!
How do you know I was not going to get a Master's in Occupational Therapy? CCNA isn't as good as a career in health care. I see that it may only cost $500 and 6 months of self study, but it isn't as effective as one would think. It may be on par with the MBA, but it sure doesn't have the earning power of what a career in health care does.
As for the guy that doesn't like Obama – Romney isn't the best solution either. He's going to outspend to win the election but he's just another politician who won't do anything unless he pulls a Scott Walker on the budget.
You (RWM2012) are on the right track. As long as you balance cost, reward, and risk your future is bright!
CCNA or CISSP is easy and better than $9 an hour, but not idea. Technical career is a perpetual race because only your last 5 year experience has value.
If there are more like you our future is bright.
I am a current MBA at a school ranked around the 30 spot on most rankings (Not a "Top School") and my job opportunities have increased tremendously. Before, all I had were offers for sales positions and now I am receiving offers from consulting firms, banks and corporations looking for management professionals. I may not make as high a return on my investment as a CCNA will because my investment is $100K and there is no near term guaranteed job that pays $100K+, but I'd rather take my chances with a real degree and pursue a career in proven field than try to chase the tech game. Tech jobs are here today and gone tomorrow.
just as Jacqueline answered I'm taken by surprise that you able to profit $8973 in 1 month on the computer. have you seen this site (Click on menu Home more information) http://goo.gl/tJKHj
I have a masters degree in engineering from a well-know state university with good grades and it's still difficult to find work. Something is fundamentally wrong. Degrees don't seem to have value anymore. Part of the problem is that Washington makes it easy for businesses to hire foreign labor on visas with names like H-1B, L-1, L-2, EB-2, EB-3, OPT, CPT, etc. For example, here is a website explaining how to go from F1 visa to OPT to H-1B visa to green card:
Folks, they are blatant about it. Companies were recent caught posting jobs at Dice that effectively said "Americans need not apply".
The other half of the problem is that companies can simply export jobs to China and India, especially easy to do with programming jobs.
Pol pot will save them by forgiving their loans and ordering them to work in the countryside – purifying agarian society
I'm a Computer Science professor at a good university, and I agree with the posters who say that returning to grad school merely in the hope of solving an unemployment problem is a poor bet. If you're already employed, and are seeking higher challenge, then then grad school is worth investigating. If you can't get work with a BA/BS, then the problem may be how well you actually learned, or what you majored in.
A college education doesn't guarantee employment, or employability, especially in my field. What matters is whether you learned skills that are in demand. I can say with confidence that I know *NO* good software developers, who are also reasonable team players, currently lacking for work. Any recent CS grad lacking a job needs to look seriously at their programming skills, or perhaps their ability to work well with a team. If the former is the problem, they'd do better spending their unemployed time contributing to a respected open-source project to refine and demonstrate their programming ability. Most interviewers will be more impressed with 20,000 lines of quality code contributed to an open source effort than with a master's degree.
@Clinton Staley
"…the problem may be…what you majored in…"
I've actually felt compelled to leave my MBA and MS off my resume at times.
Students need to approach undergraduate work with the mindset that the best college for them will be the one offering the best financial aid and least amount of debt upon graduation. Don't drool over a "dream" (aka: Reach) school where you're going to be in the bottom quartile and get as little money as humanly possible… instead, shoot for the best fit academically and financially so that you can afford graduate school, if that is your choice. No need for all of this debt to keep growing if the college search is done properly!
Here's a free 7 day view of my way of teaching students in high school how to go to college as frugally as possible: http://www.collegesearchgameplanmembers.com/?ap_id=toddw
I really encourage people to engineer their own layoffs instead. You can make a lot of money if you do it write. I wrote a book entitled, "How To Engineer Your Layoff: Make A Small Fortune By Saying Goodbye".
It's about empowering employees to make their own rules.
Grad school is just a band-aid if you don't know what you want to do. An EXPENSIVE one at that!
The debt load is NOT worth it people! Empower yourselves!

Intensified Battle Lines
Some years back Open Source Industry Australia (OSIA) spokesperson Steven D'Aprano had posed a most intriguing question, "If Microsoft has a problem with piracy, it shouldn't be blamed on OEMs who sell PCs with Linux pre-installed or no operating system at all. Should we discourage supermarkets from selling plain bread, because shoppers might steal butter from elsewhere?"
This summed up all debates between open source and proprietary model vis-a-vis the issue of piracy. In India, we have regularly been asking, does bundling or selling Linux with vanilla systems aid and abet Windows piracy?
For long now a tag has been associated with Linux. Industry players and resellers say Linux has become a smart, official, cheap and convenient form of piracy. The charge, is however, outrightly rejected by the Linux vendors.
At their end, open source vendors will not miss an opportunity to assert that anyone who has benefited out of piracy is the proprietary vendors, like Microsoft.
Actually, the primary reason for piracy stems from the basic question haunting any consumer, affordability - the pricing.

RIM's BlackBerry WebWorks adds smartphone support to PlayBook apps
RIM has announced its latest set of developer tools, as it ramps up the process before the PlayBooks launch later this year.
Over in Bali, at the BlackBerry DEVCON, the Canadian mobile giant launched the beta version of the BlackBerry WebWork SDK for its Tablet OS and also new services and developer tools for BlackBerry smartphones.
The WebWorks platform allows developers to use the SDK along with their preferred web development tools, to come up with apps for the forthcoming PlayBook tablet that also support BlackBerry smartphones running the BlackBerry 6 operating system.
Features include:
- RIM's powerful WebKit web rendering engine (which is at the core of WebWorks) supporting the latest web technology standards including HTML5, CSS and JavaScript.
- Deep access to device capabilities and components such as native dialogs, application invocation and system information.
- A simple command-line tool that allows developers to use their favorite web development environment to develop WebWorks applications.
- The capability to automatically transform a W3C widget archive file containing web assets into a BlackBerry WebWorks application package.
"RIM continues to invest in a global and diverse developer community and we are offering them a broad range of tools in support of the BlackBerry Application Platform", said David Yach, CTO for software at Research In Motion.
"With BlackBerry WebWorks, developers will be able to use standard web technologies to build powerful, integrated applications quickly and easily for both BlackBerry smartphones and the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, and the GitHub open source project around BlackBerry WebWorks means more support for developers, enabling them to fully participate in defining the future of this platform and tooling".
RIM also used the event to launch the BlackBerry Payment Service SDK in Beta, and an update of the BlackBerry Push Service SDK (v 1.0.1) as well as a new release of the BlackBerry Java Plug-in for Eclipse (version 1.3).

Trump Open To "Lyin'" Ted Cruz As His Pick for VP

It's nice to see our government so proactive about Toyota. I haven't seen such intensive media coverage about an auto recall ever. Ray LaHood meeting with the CEO of Toyota??? That is unprecedented.
But then I realized that since the US owns GM, Hood is just protecting Obama's investment. So this is what we end up with. Further government intervention into the auto business. If GM can't compete based on good value to consumers, well then the feds can just unlevel the playing field.

A Short Tale review
Although story and characters are given short-shrift, this escape-the-room adventure toys with charming puzzles and nostalgia-inducing fun.
The Last Door: Season Two review
The four-part horror sequel is a welcome re-entry into Victorian era London filled with Lovecraftian-style chills and improved gameplay variety.
Undercover Missions: Operation Kursk K-141 review
Based on a real-world Russian submarine disaster, this fictionalized adventure is sunk by numerous faulty design issues.
Order of the Thorne: The King's Challenge review
A new fantasy anthology will be music to the ears of classic Sierra fans, though its debut works better as a standalone quest.
The Land of Lamia: World of Monsters review
This dark fairy tale takes a novel approach with its dual-contolled protagonists and book-bound lore that supports the brief but fulfilling gameplay.
The Interactive Adventures of Dog Mendonça & Pizza Boy review
This adaptation of the Portuguese graphic novels delivers a thin story but rich world topped with plenty of eye candy.
The A.B.C. Murders review
The latest Agatha Christie adaptation spins a pretty good murder mystery, though it doesn't take Hercule Poirot to spell out its simple deductions.
Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet review
Alasdair Beckett-King's loony pirate adventure is a pun-filled hoot to play and leaves very little to grouse about.
Samorost 3 review
There's plenty to trumpet about in a stellar and surprisingly lengthy third installment from Amanita Design.
Heaven's Hope review
Falling just a little short of its desired heights, this enjoyable point-and-click angelic adventure does provide a little taste of heaven on earth.
Deponia Doomsday review
The surprise fourth installment will knock you for a loop in a time-traveling madcap adventure that's part-sequel, part-prequel.
Shardlight review
Wadjet Eye's latest is another great slice of sci-fi worldbuilding, though the story doesn't shine as brightly as its unique post-apocalyptic setting.
Downfall (2016) review
Reimagined in the style of The Cat Lady, Rem Michalski's first adventure is a brutally effective psychological horror with just a few reservations.
The Witness review
Jonathan Blow's ambitious open-world puzzler is a triumph of challenging gameplay, though any semblance of story gets lots in its abundant mazes.
Between Me and the Night review
Though rich in atmosphere, this platforming-adventure hybrid is tripped up by its shallow story and dodgy puzzles.

COEUR D'ALENE The Bureau of Land Management has announced that it is seeking public nominations for open positions on its Coeur d'Alene District Resource Advisory Council (RAC), which advises the BLM on public land issues. As published in a notice in the Federal Register, the BLM will consider nominations for 45 days; the nomination period will close on March 27.
Nationwide, the BLM's RACs, composed of citizens chosen for their expertise in natural resource issues, help the Bureau carry out its stewardship of 245 million acres of public lands. The Bureau, which manages more land than any other federal agency, has 29 RACs across the West, where most BLM-managed land is located. Each RAC consists of 10 to 15 members with an interest or expertise in public land management, including such individuals as conservationists, ranchers, outdoor recreationists, state and local government officials, tribal officials, and academics. The diverse membership of each RAC helps ensure that BLM land managers get the varying perspectives they need to achieve their mission, which is to manage the public lands for multiple uses.
"The advice given to the BLM by these citizen-based Resource Advisory Councils is a vital part of the BLM's collaborative approach to land management," said BLM Acting State Director Tim Murphy. "Citizen input enhances our agency's ability to administer and conserve these lands for the use and enjoyment of current and future generations of Americans."
Individuals may nominate themselves or others to serve on an advisory council. Nominees, who must be residents of the state or states where the RAC has jurisdiction, will be judged on the basis of their training, education, and knowledge of the council's geographical area. Nominees should also demonstrate a commitment to consensus building and collaborative decision-making. All nominations must be accompanied by letters of reference from any represented interests or organizations, a completed RAC application, and any other information that speaks to the nominee's qualifications.

Keep Salem Beautiful: No Recycling Bin Until Further Notice
7/15/2013 @ 3:16 PMThere will not be a recycling bin in the 200 block of North Broadway in Salem until further notice.
Keep Salem Beautiful Coordinator Rita Black says the company that provided the unit is trying to get it repaired after it caught fire a week ago Sunday night. Black says the company providing the service, Sutter Sanitation of Effingham, does not have another unit available. Black says KSB will be looking at their options for resuming the service and apologize for the inconvenience.
The cause of the fire is listed as suspicious and remains under investigation by Salem Police and Fire officials.

Who else wants to know why most Argan Oil is crap?
I first heard of Argan Oil while looking for a natural way to look younger without exposing my skin to all of the toxic chemicals found in most commercial anti-wrinkle creams.
And to be totally honest I was skeptical when I read the laundry list of Argan Oil benefits...
• Wrinkle reduction
• Moisturizer
• Stretch mark reduction
• Acne treatment
• Hair conditioner.
Seriously... it sounds too good to be true right?
But after hours of research I couldn't find anything negative about Argan Oil. The only negative comments were about certain brands of Argan Oil rather than the Argan Oil itself
So I decided to make the purchase... I opened up Google and typed in "buy Argan Oil".
All of a sudden a decision that seemed brain dead simple only seconds go got exponentially harder because apparently not all Argan Oil is created equal and trying to sift through all of the B.S. and marketing hype is next to impossible.
So after studying dozens of websites and reading countless reviews I picked what appeared to be the top 3 Argan Oils commercially available, pulled out my credit card and made the purchase.
Since that day I've personally purchased, tested and reviewed almost every known Argan Oil that I could get my hands on.
The result? Well there were really two results...
First was the realization that the majority of Argan Oil being pitched on the Internet is low quality crap.
It was this realization that motivated me to build this website which contains a detailed account of my findings including candid and factual Argan Oil product reviews and information so you can cut through all of the marketing non-sense, skip the crap and get the best Argan Oil the first time.
So click here to get straight to the good stuff... that is my personal favorites :)

Terror To Love terrorises them again
Relevant offers
As he stood on the winners' rostrum at Addington for the second time in as many years, Terry McDonald felt completely different from 12 months ago.
When Terror To Love won the New Zealand Trotting Cup last year it was about jubilation. Yesterday's win was about relief.
"It's been a tough week, there's been a whole lot of pressure," McDonald said.
"Certainly a lot harder than last year, back then we were just a horse with a chance to win.
"This year we were a very hot favourite and a lot of people just expected him to come and win it."
Backed into a $2.40 favourite, Terror To Love started as the shortest-priced favourite since Christian Cullen in 1998.
A gambling man by his own admission, McDonald said he had invested a few dollars with his close mate Steve Richardson, the TAB harness racing bookmaker.
"Steve had been telling me how much money he had taken on Terror up until today - and it was a lot.
"I got a little bit off him too though."
And while the race was tough on McDonald it's been equally as tough on co-trainers Graham and Paul Court.
For Paul, sharing the moment with his Dad was special.
"Dad is an amazing horseman, and has done a brilliant job with this guy. It really is just such a special honour to be able to enjoy something like this with him."
So the question now is what to do with the new champion of New Zealand harness racing?
An Inter Dominion attack early next year is an option. But something like the Victoria Cup early next year is likely to be the next major race.
"There are plenty of options there, we will just have to sit down and talk about it all and then go from there," Paul Court said.
"The Auckland Cup is an option as well, so there is heaps we need to think about."
Terror To Love will return to Addington on Friday for the first-ever one mile New Zealand Free-For-All.
"It would be nice to get a good time next to his name, but winning is probably more important," Court said.
Highview Tommy, who for the second year in a row watched Terror To Love sprint to the line and claim glory, was outstanding after doing plenty of work while stablemate Sushi Sushi was an equally impressive third.
The final word however belonged to McDonald. The man of the hour, pleased the Cup Day faithful, and harness racing fans alike when he said: "We'll be back next year to try and do a False Step [the only horse to win three New Zealand Trotting Cups]".
Just imagine the pressure then.

This climate change interactive modeling simulation simulates the interactions among different sets of variables related to climate change. This is a facilitated guided-inquiry exercise.
This video is the third in a three-part series by the Sea Change project, about scientists' search for Pleiocene beaches in Australia and elsewhere to establish sea level height during Earth's most recent previous warm period. This segment features the research of Jerry Mitrovica, Harvard geophysicist.
In this activity, students explore the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide over the past 40 years with an interactive online model. They use the model and observations to estimate present emission rates and emission growth rates. The model is then used to estimate future levels of carbon dioxide using different future emission scenarios. These different scenarios are then linked by students to climate model predictions also used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Animations of CO2 concentration in the free troposphere, as simulated by NOAA's ESRL CarbonTracker.
This activity introduces students to stratigraphic correlation and the dating of geologic materials, using coastal sediment cores that preserve a record of past hurricane activity.
This activity students through the ways scientists monitor changes in Earth's glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets. Students investigate about glacier locations, glacial movement, and impacts of climate change on glaciers depending on the depth of research. It is linked to 2009 PBS Nova program entitled Extreme Ice.
This music video features a rap song about some of the causes and effects of climate change with the goal of increasing awareness of climate change and how it will impact nature and humans. The website also includes links to short fact sheets with lyrics to the song that are annotated with the sources of the information in the lyrics.
This interactive lets students determine the extent of average temperature change both in their community and anywhere else in the world, relative to average temperatures for the three decades between 1951 and 1980.
With this carbon/temperature interactive model, students investigate the role of atmospheric carbon in the greenhouse effect using a relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperature.
This article and slide show from the New York Times, features several scientists from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, who study the effects of thawing permafrost in Alaska.
