CINCINNATI, OH -- (Marketwire) -- 01/21/13 -- Rodney Williams is being honored in today's issue of AdAge as one of "40 Under 40" Top Marketers across the U.S.
Williams, 29, of Cincinnati, is the co-founder and CEO of lisnr, a mobile application and software platform that allows music fans to unlock exclusive content from their favorite artists. He left Procter & Gamble, where he had served in Pampers brand management, in August 2012 to focus on the technology startup.
AdAge says the award recognizes "the innovative young marketing leaders who have made their mark in the client, agency and media realms -- all before their 40th birthdays."
In just over four years, Rodney Williams went from intern to senior assistant brand manager ... to the holder of three patents for social-media marketing, AdAge noted. "Just months into his new role, he left to launch lisnr ... and already counts Mondelez and Warner Bros. as clients."
AdAge also noted Williams' participation in the SxSW-bound Startup Bus -- a sort of Startup Weekend on wheels aimed at bringing together the right kind of talented people to focus intently on starting technology companies. The Startup Bus gave Williams time and resources to focus on developing his idea for lisnr.
"I appreciate that AdAge's definition of a top marketer encompasses people looking for new ways to use technology to serve consumers better," Williams said. "And at my age, this is truly an honor."
Williams earned both an MBA and two bachelor's degrees (economics and finance) from Howard University and is a native of Baltimore, Md.
Lisnr changes the way consumers experience audio by turning what has been a passive experience into an interactive engagement platform. Currently, lisnr provides musicians with a new way to engage with their fans and provides advertisers a new way to partner with musicians through their music. Lisnr plans to scale multiple verticals, bringing the same kind of interaction to all forms of audio engagement including live events, broadcast television and film. Lisnr is a portfolio company of Cincinnati seed-stage investor CincyTech. Follow them at @lisnr or http://lisnr.com.

Author of kindness memoir admits shooting was a hoax
The confession came after authorities searched a field near where a man said a motorist shot him in an apparent publicity scheme
By Matthew Brown
Associated Press
BILLINGS, Mont. — A Washington state man was released from custody Thursday after spending 13 days in jail following his arrest in a Montana hitchhiker shooting that turned out to be a hoax.
Lloyd Christopher Danielson III was released after pleading guilty to driving under the influence.
He was sentenced to 24 hours in jail and a $650 fine, Poplar City Judge Traci Harada said. But Harada gave Danielson credit for time served and $50 toward each day he spent in jail, canceling out the fine and allowing him to walk free.
The 52-year-old was arrested June 9 after a wounded hitchhiker — 39-year-old Ray Dolin of Julian, W.Va. — waved down a passing motorist and claimed he'd been shot along U.S. Route 2 west of Glasgow.
Dolin was wounded in the arm and told authorities he had been traveling to collect material for a planned photographic memoir about kindness. He said the roadside attack came without provocation by a man driving a maroon pickup.
But authorities say Dolin later admitted he shot himself, apparently in a scheme to get publicity for his planned memoir. The confession came after authorities searched a field near the site of the shooting and found a small pistol Dolin had bought in early June.
Danielson was cleared in the shooting last week but remained held on the DUI charge after he did not post bail.
In a telephone interview, Harada said Danielson's sentence was appropriate based on the particulars of the case.
"Given the circumstances that poor person went through, maybe that did have a bearing in the back of my mind," she said of Danielson. "I felt it was the fairest thing to happen."
Danielson was initially charged with felony assault with a weapon after he was stopped late June 9 near Culbertson, Mont., about 100 miles away from where Dolin was found.
Roosevelt County Sheriff Freedom Crawford said the arrest was based on Dolin's description of the pickup.
Dolin's precise whereabouts are unknown, and he has not been arrested. Valley County officials said they believe he remains in the care of a Veterans Affairs hospital in Montana or Wyoming.
Valley County Attorney Nicholas Murnion said charges against Dolin are pending. He faces potential charges including tampering with evidence, obstructing a police officer, and providing false information to law enforcement, Murnion said.

USDA announces a new website to streamline information exchange
January 23, 2012
Information retrieved from USDA press release # Release No. 0013.12
Office of Communications (202) 720-4623
Agriculture Secretary Vilsack Streamlines Access to Energy Investment Information at USDA
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18, 2012 - Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced the launch of a USDA energy website that will provide stakeholders fast and efficient access to USDA energy efficiency and renewable energy data. Today's announcement builds on the Secretary's commitment to develop a modern and efficient service organization as outlined in USDA's Blueprint for Stronger Service announced last week.
"Improving and modernizing access to USDA energy data and resources is essential in today's highly competitive rural business environment," said Vilsack. "Farmers, ranchers and small businesses across the country will benefit from easier navigation and retrieval of energy and renewable energy investments data and funding opportunities."
USDA's energy website provides access to all USDA energy resources, including: agricultural, forestry, economic, and social data. This is done in part through a set of new complementary web-based tools: the USDA Renewable Energy Investment Map, the Renewable Energy Tool and Energy Matrix. These tools focus on USDA's energy, energy efficiency and renewable energy investments and projects; provide information and data to a broad spectrum of stakeholders; and empower the user with the ability to easily navigate USDA's energy web resources. In addition, the site provides a link to all USDA state and local offices and energy resource coordinators.
Vilsack said this newly designed tool is a great step in a more coordinated and efficient effort to increase public awareness of USDA's energy research, commercialization of new technologies, program delivery, outreach, and education activities. It also provides a form or technical assistance to people thinking about adopting an energy project. The new site replaces a previous site which was established several years ago. To access the site, go to: www.usda.gov/energy .
Secretary Vilsack said last week, "As we continue to invest in rural communities across the country, USDA has heard from producers about the need for reducing red tape and the need to modernize its services. We are answering this challenge by making the best use of taxpayer resources, and providing the best possible service to the American people."
Since taking office, President Obama's Administration has taken historic steps to improve the lives of rural Americans, put people back to work and build thriving economies in rural communities. From proposing the American Jobs Act to establishing the first-ever White House Rural Council – chaired by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack – the President wants the federal government to be the best possible partner for rural businesses, entrepreneurs and people who want to live, work and raise their families in rural communities.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender. To file a complaint of discrimination, write: USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call (800) 795-3272 (voice), or (202) 720-6382 (TDD).

The present invention generally relates to cable broadband networks, and more particularly relates to cable mesh networks.
Cable mesh is a relatively new type of high-capacity wireless broadband delivery system. A cable mesh network comprises a cable infrastructure (e.g., a hybrid fiber-coaxial or HFC infrastructure) and a one or more cable mesh nodes deployed at various locations and interfaced directly to the cable infrastructure.
Cable mesh nodes such as the node 100 are typically attached to elevated structures, such as poles, and are typically attached in areas of other utility services, such as high voltage electrical lines and public switched telephone network (PSTN) telephone lines. The operators of the cable mesh nodes must typically negotiate access rights for placement of the cable mesh nodes and generally are confined to a defined area. Currently, a technician must typically carry the housing of the cable mesh node up a ladder and mount the housing on the pole, for example. Then, the technician must typically also mount the antenna onto the housing (and the pole), which often requires a mechanical support rod to secure the antenna. Accordingly, the size and bulkiness of the AP often makes installation of a cable mesh node difficult, time consuming and potentially hazardous, due to the potentially close proximity to high voltage electrical lines.
Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a mechanically integrated antenna system for cable mesh networks.
Embodiments of the invention generally provide a mechanically integrated cable mesh antenna system. One embodiment of a wireless access device for a network includes a housing having at least one rib, beam forming electronics supported by the housing, and at least one antenna for providing subscribers of the network with a connection to the network, where the antenna is formed on the rib.
In another embodiment, a method for making a wireless access device for interfacing to a network, includes the steps of: providing a housing having at least one rib, housing beam forming electronics within the housing, and forming at least one antenna for providing subscribers of the network with a connection to the network on the rib.
So that the manner in which the above recited embodiments of the invention are attained and can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the invention, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to the embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings. It is to be noted, however, that the appended drawings illustrate only typical embodiments of this invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, for the invention may admit to other equally effective embodiments.
To facilitate understanding, identical reference numerals have been used, where possible, to designate identical elements that are common to the figures.
Embodiments of the invention provide a mechanically integrated cable mesh antenna system. In one embodiment, the electronics enclosure of a cable mesh node is used to contain the antenna elements in addition to the beam forming electronics. This reduces the size and improves the ruggedness of the cable mesh node.
In one embodiment, the electronics enclosure 202 contains an upper portion 201 and a lower portion 203, which, when placed together, define an interior volume 210 within which the beam forming electronics 204 are housed. In addition, the upper portion 201 further comprises a plurality of thermally dissipative ribs 208 1-208 n (hereinafter collectively referred to as "ribs 208") disposed on an exterior surface and integrally formed as part of the upper portion 201. For example, the upper portion 201 may be formed of a cast metal (e.g., aluminum), and the ribs 208 integrally formed with the casing in the casting of the metal. While the ribs 208 are only illustrated on the upper portion 201, those of skill in the art will appreciate that this illustration is only for discussion purposes and that the ribs 208 may be formed on the lower portion 203 or on both the upper portion 201 and the lower portion 203.
In one embodiment, the ribs 208 may also be used for dissipating heat from the beam forming electronics 204. The radiating antenna elements 206 are individually aligned to these ribs 208 (e.g., on a one-to-one basis) and suspended over the electronics enclosure 202, in one embodiment using dielectric spacers 207. While dielectric spacers are depicted, those of skill in the art will appreciate that any suitable electrical isolation material may be used to electrically isolate the antenna elements 206 from the ribs 208. The signals to be wirelessly transmitted may be provided to the antenna elements 206 by antenna element feeds (e.g., coaxial cable), which pass from the beam forming electronics 204 to the antenna elements 206 through the ribs 208. Those of skill in the art will also appreciate that a radome (not shown) may also be disposed over the antenna elements 206.
The cable mesh node 200 therefore integrates the antenna elements 206 with the electronics enclosure 202 by mounting the antenna elements 206 via the integrally formed ribs 208. The invention reduces the overall size and bulkiness of a cable mesh node, making installation of the cable mesh node much easier and potentially safer. The ruggedness of the cable mesh node 200 is also improved by integrating the antenna elements 206 with the electronics enclosure 202.
In addition, the electronics enclosure 202 under this configuration may also function as the antenna elements' ground plane and, if shaped appropriately, may further perform gain-pattern enhancement and beam shaping. For instance, it is known in the art that a radiating element or elements (e.g., antennae) appropriately spaced over a purposely designed curved or formed ground-plane (in this case, the electronics enclosure 202) can provide antenna pattern optimization not limited to more directivity to a location or improved sidelobes. For example, these advantages may be realized in configurations where either a single-element antenna (e.g., wherein the electronics enclosure 202 is ridged and in the form of a dish) or an array of antennae (e.g., where each antenna element is installed in a calculated position) are disposed on the electronics enclosure 202 to provide steerable patterns.
Thus, the present invention represents a significant advancement in the field of cable broadband networks. Embodiments of the invention generally provide a mechanically integrated cable mesh antenna system that reduces the size and weight and improves the ruggedness of a cable mesh node, allowing for easier installation of the cable mesh node. In addition, the novel configuration allows the electronics enclosure (including thermally dissipative metal ribs) of the cable mesh node to be deployed for beam shaping and forming.
While the foregoing is directed to embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof.

text: Purisima sees no need to amend Constitution ABS-CBN News Posted at Jan 31 2013 12:34 PM | Updated as of Jan 31 2013 08:34 PM MANILA, Philippines - Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima does not see the need to amend the Constitution or remove its restrictions on foreign ownership in some industries. While American economist Nouriel Roubini says foreign ownership liberalization would help attract more investors, Purisima says the government needs more time to study the possible amendment. The Finance chief says there are conflicting views among the private sector. Purisima adds government is focused on how to give the country more flexibility to attract and accommodate investments from overseas. - ANC Share Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest Kakaotalk Viber WeChat Read More: constitution foreign ownership restrictions cesar purisima /video/nation/regions/05/06/16/7-sugatan-sa-banggaan-ng-tricycle-trak-at-2-jeep/business/05/06/16/next-president-should-focus-on-reliable-healthcare-data/global-filipino/world/05/06/16/vietnam-asks-japan-for-vessels-to-strengthen-coast-guard/business/05/06/16/santiago-ok-with-opening-bets-bank-accounts/nation/05/06/16/miriam-duterte-most-dangerous-presidential-candidate

I have always taken pride that in 30+ years of the IT world I have never broken a cell phone screen and or a laptop...until a few weeks ago. (Oh how the mighty has fallen) After gravity had its way with my laptop I was looking at a cracked screen and no clue what the heck I was going to do since my warranty is expired and cant afford a new laptop of that quality.
After about an hour of research I settled on Laptopscreen.com. They had good reviews, prices were responsible, it was pretty easy to find my replacement screen and their videos seemed pretty good. Being the cynical webshopper I figured worst case I'll have to fight getting my money back of I get duped.
Here is what really happened:
My screen arrived a day earlier than I expected. It was an exact replacement of the one in my laptop (Even part numbers matched) and was well packed.
I found the video for my particular laptop and grabbed a screw driver and went to town. Though I've been in the IT world for 30 years and build my own computers, I have never tore down a laptop, new experience for me. With their video, I was able to completely tear down the laptop, pull out the old screen, put the new screen in and then put it all back together. Fired that baby up expecting it to be a disaster but it fired right up, the screen worked just perfect.
One dead pixel but to me it's not worth taking the screen out and doing a swap for something that I can easily live with. I'm sure based on what I've read if I really pressed LaptopScreen they would swap it out.
Overall impression...great site, services, price and help videos. They will be my go to for anything else like this in the future.
I have a Dell Inspiron laptop which needed a new screen. After calling all the local "repair" centers I found that it would either take a week to two weeks to get repaired OR the repair would cost more than purchasing a new laptop. I found the website for LaptopScreen.com after a quick search and found that they had very reasonable prices (better than Dell themselves) and quick deliver. I received my replacement screen in DAYS and in perfect condition! six screws and two plugs later my laptop was up and running again. I hope not to have a messed up computer again but if I do, I will be using LaptopScreen.com!
Easy to order, great customer service, videos to help install. Turned a stressful situation into a good experience at less than half the cost of big box store and manufacturer! Quick and easy delivery, on time and as promised!
My order shipped fast and worked perfectly! A+
Ordered the Correct laptop screen at a reasonable price and received it in mail within two days very satisfied will recommend to others
I'm really happy & satisfied with the service of company. I recieve my laptop screen in good condition earlier than expected.Thank you.
Easy Search, Great Prices, Fast Shipping and Nothing wrong with replacement.
AWESOME! 3 years warranty
I received my reasonably priced screen with fast USPS shipping times. Their website makes it super easy to identify the correct part and chat customer support is also helpful.
Received a compatible replacement screen for my Dell 5559 laptop. Watching the replacement video helped immensely in the removal and replacement. Delivery was on time and I followed the steps accordingly. Very satisfied on the purchase and timely delivery.
The site was very easy to use to find exactly what I need. It was shipped quickly, arrived and was easy to install.
I will definitely be using these guys for more hardware! :-)
I had someone's Asus X51 notebook with a damaged screen and finding the right screen for this model was simple with their website. For the screen and shipping was a little more than I expected, but that is probably because I am basing previous screen replacement off of a couple years ago when the US and Canadian dollars were closer, so the poorer dollar could be making a difference. But even at around $100, it was still cheaper than buying a new laptop and my customer is happy to have a working laptop once again. Thank you!
Ordered a replacement screen for a Toshiba laptop. They had a matter screen, which cuts glare immensely, at a great price. They even have video instructions on how to replace it by myself, which I did. Definitely will deal with Laptop Screen in the future.
Laptop Screen solved my problem in under a week! My son's brand new Lenovo screen died inside two months. Rather than muck around with warranty claims and arguing with Lenovo I got a replacement screen from Laptop Screen delivered to my door from Canada to Regional Australia inside one week. Screen was well priced and went straight in with no problems whatsoever. My lad is as happy as with his Laptop working again!
Tip for consumers: The shipping is a tad expensive, but I guess that's not the fault of these guys. The screen arrived in 7 days using regular post, which was great considering the distance & my location in regional Australia.Ask James about LaptopScreen
ordered a new toshiba laptop screen shipped quickly and a good price
worked perfectly
This company is fantastic. Service is professional, knowledgeable, and friendly; and product is just what I needed. It was truly a pleasure and I would recommend you to anyone! Thank you for your help!
The screen was shipped in a timely manner. It was well packaged. It was not difficult to install, although the video did not cover the screen I needed.
Tout est dans le titre, simple, rapide et pas cher. L'écran était très bien emballé, aucun souci pour l'installer, c'était exactement le même que l'original et le moins cher sur le web.
Good Price, good Quality, delivered wihin 3 days fron UK to Munich/Germany.
My second experience with laptopscreen.com. Like my first, this was a completely satisfactory experience. The screen was inexpensive (less than $100; the alternative is a new laptop!). It arrived in three days. It was easy to install (I'm no more than average in handiness). There are on site videos to walk you through every step. Now my laptop is just fine.
Wow can I say that I'm just so thankful? I recently dropped my MacBook Pro from my desk, and I have hard wood floor. Let's just say that didn't turn out good. The corner of the screen bent and ruined the whole lid with the display and glass. Well Apple was trying to charge me $450 for the part and $100 per hour for labor. I found the whole lid replacement on LaptopScreen.com for $310 and man it was well worth it. The lid was very sturdy just like the original and the display itself, ahh the Retina display is just beautiful. But to sum it all up, YES I would definitely recommend this site to anyone.
I was able to quickly find the screen I needed. The installation video was extremely helpful in making the decision to do the repair myself. I was very pleased with the price and the product.
After my kids put my laptop on the floor and the stepped on it, crushing the screen, I presumed I was due for spending several hundred dollars to replace a laptop. On a hunch I searched for the possibility of purchasing a replacement screen, expecting it to be cheaper, although, still very costly. To my happy surprise, I found LaptopScreen.com which, thankfully, carried a screen for my device (Lenovo IdeaPad P500). They provided a great deal of information online, so that I could feel confident that I was purchasing the right part. And, $60 (including shipping) was a LOT cheaper than I anticipated. I'm up and running again.
We ordered a laptop screen for our Toshiba Satellite and it arrived quickly and in perfect shape!!! The price was fantastic and thanks to the many video tutorials, I was able to install it myself without the need of technical support!!! Thanks again Laptopscreen.com for providing great products and customer service!!!
I was looking for a supplier of laptop screens, and I was very happy when what felt like maybe a week later I got my screen from laptopscreen.com , I had never ordered a laptop screen before, it was my first broken screen repair job and I was also suprized how fast they responded when I was not sure about removing a sticker. I will use them in the future.
I spoke with another company before going to laptopscreen and this other company was trying to charge me 3 times what I payed here. So the prices are very reasonable
No complaints
Several years ago I had a laptop screen break And I paid $200 For a computer repair shop to fix it. And it wasn't a very expensive laptop. So my new laptop I have was actually quite expensive And the screen got broken in a move. So I search for a YouTube video To see how hard it would be to replace the screen if I could even find The Replacements screen for it. And my exact model Was one somebody showed replacing the screen And they had even said to go to laptop screens.com. I was ecstatic Not only was it super easy to replace the screen it only cost 60 bucks for the screen It took me maybe 10 minutes to install. It works just as good if not better as my original screen And I'm excited that I didn't have to throw a laptop away just because of a broken screen. Thanks you guys were awesome.
First time at this site and the customer service rep - Ken - walked me through each step. This process made it so easy to remove my monitor, order it and replace it when it arrived. I will definitely recommend this company in the future.
Fast shipping. Technician says is a great screen as worked perfectly at first. The only bad my mac had a bump on a side and the crystal got damaged while replacing the lcd. .. so now I will have to wait for crystal replacement. So be careful to check that and order everything you need. But so far is great.
100% Reliable , great communication , fast delivery , got the perfect item ordered. Definitely will order from them again.
Tech help was outstanding, service outstanding, delivery outstanding
Back in business
Wouldn't you know it. The warranty on my laptop expires and I cracked the heck out of the LED. The price to have the screen replaced is 1/2 the cost of the laptop. Desperate I looked around to see what was out there, and I found LapTopScrren. They had the part, the sight asked all the right questions to make sure I got the right one, linked to the part was a video of the repair procedure, and toolkits if you didn't have the right tools for the job. The site is well organized and anticipated my every need. I have never replaced a screen before, and I did it. Works great. Recommend definitely.
Tip for consumers: Make sure you have the full model number for your machine. Watch the video before you buy to be sure your committed to DIY.Ask Mary about LaptopScreen
Got the Display in a Timely MANNER Undamaged and customer support was there to answer questions
I was searching around for a replacement laptop screen and ended up buying from laptopscreen.com
The price was great, a couple of minutes in a chat with one of their customer service reps was all it took to verify I was ordering the right screen, and I got the screen in 2 business days.
I couldn't be happier with the experience.
Worked as described! Very happy with my purchase!
Had the cheapest price, shipping cost was not over charged, got it fast, works as described, will buy from again if need more.
Excellent product, fast shipping! Will buy again from them for sure
I'm not happy because my package came damages

The TN display of my LENOVO W540 was really very bad looking for colors ans view angles. I buy a ICS display from LaptopScreen to replace the genuine one and everything change for me. Best colors, good view angles. The display replacement is made by LG.
no complaints. Product works as expected. Price and shipping reasonable. Quick shipping
Needed a 17"matt finish 1080p HD screen for Acer Nitro, Gaming Laptop. Not only they had the cheapest price but were through in replying to technical questions, prompt on responding to questions and shipping by fedex economical. Would always buy from them now.
After researching a replacement screen for my wife's Lenovo y50-70 that had a blank section on the screen, I found a replacement at Laptopscreen.com. Looking for the model of LCD that was installed into the system, afterfmarket screen installed by previous owner, the screen indicated was a model that was similar to the one installed. So I started up a chat with LaptopScreen.com and asked what model they had for this system and he provided me with the model that would be sent out if it was ordered. I was able to determine that it was a Samsung LCD screen and is indeed similar to the one installed, almost identical specs. I placed the order and installed the panel once it was delievered and I would say that it matched or exceeded the panel that was installed before. Very satisfied and will be ordering from LaptopScreen.com if I need another panel.
I got the right screen within 4 days, everything was processed correctly. And cheaper from abroad then locally. Now I don't have to buy a new laptop.
Went through the normal process of purchasing a screen to repair my laptop and received my confirmation email once I paid.
I needed to relatively soon, so I purchased two day shipping through FedEx and entered all my details for shipping in billing. I'd say I'm a fairly meticulous person when it comes to entering payment and shipping details as I have to keep my personal and business acounts separate. So I entered all the necessary info as I normally would.
I received an email stating the tracking number and invoice number, but nothing with any shipping details or other important information like that.
My package was supposed to be delivered on Wednesday so I checked the tracking info and it said it was being sent back to the shipper. I contacted laptopscreens customer service and before I could even ask about other alternatives they put the blame immediately on me amd stated it was my fault.
In addition they claimed I would have to pay for them to ship it out again. Customer service was extremely rude and did not have any professionalism at all. They offered no solutions to the problem and talked down to me as if I didn't understand the difference between email and regular mail. To the say the least I was appalled with this experience and will not be doing business with them ever again.
Luckily, FedEx customer service did a fantastic job and was able to assist me. FedEx did extremely well with the situation while LaptopScreens.com performs very subpar service. I would have had a much less stressful time trying to find individual components and manufacture the screen scratch than to ever deal worh LaptopScreens.com!!!
Customer placed an order with an incorrect zip code which resulted in the parcel being turned around and being sent back to us. FedEx modified the returning shipment address and delivered the parcel one day after:
Original tracking number: https://www.fedex.com/apps/fedextrack/?tracknumbers=782417520858
Return to shipper tracking number: https://www.fedex.com/apps/fedextrack/?tracknumbers=775711274170
There is no doubt that the incorrect zip code was provided at the time of the purchase.

Had I known how inexpensive and easy it was to change out the screen, I would have done it years ago. The onlibe videos were not exact, but very helpful!
Needed a new screen for an old but trusty Thinkpad. Found cheaper options at Amazon and on eBay, but those options didn't specify whether the screen would be matte or glossy, plus didn't appear completely reliable. The LaptopScreen website was excellent for zeroing on the right screen for my model and gave me confidence in their ability to deliver. The screen was in the UK, but the shipping cost and speed were excellent considering the distance (I'm on the US west coast). Thumbs up to this company.
This was my second time replacing the screen on my five-year-old laptop. Pets are hell on laptop screens! Both times I ordered from the same supplier and recieved the product as promised. Replacement is easy for anybody who can use a screwdriver, and it's a lot less expensive than buying a new laptop.
The screen i receive was as good as the one have got before
I receive fast, 2 days faster than due.
I receive in excellent condition and well package....
Many Thanks
Great product. Works out of the box. Was offered todo a video of me taking the laptoo screen out and installing a new one for money back, but i already had the laptop in peices lol. Will most certainly order from LaptopScreens again! Thank you!
This site makes it easy to find the right screen, as they've got every laptop model known to man listed and show where the mounting points/connector are to make sure you're getting something that fits.
I've made two orders myself and have been pleased - prices are good and shipping is fast. I used to work at a computer repair shop that ordered frequently, which meant we got a sizable discount on each screen - a few orders had problems, but were usually resolved quickly.
I placed an order to replace the broken screen of my Sony vaio laptop, the order arrived on time as expected, and it was very well packaged and in a perfect shape.
I highly recommend LaptopScreen
Screen was defected would resolve the problem without making me pay more. Screen had defective pixels of bright light in the middle of it. I'm betting they will delete my negative review anyway to get a false positive rating on their feedback.
LaptopScreen.com guarantees a working replacement or your money back!
We will exchange any screen not up to the expectation of the customer. Customer did not contact support - customer submitted a PayPal dispute for something that usually requires a simple call or a support ticket note.
Customer was offered an option for discount, refund or exchange. Customer demanded free product to be send before they send back the unwanted item; as this was customer's first order, not a pre-established relationship and because customer has decided to file a dispute with PayPal as their first step to obtaining resolution, the request for a free product was declined.
Customer accepted a discount on the transaction and closed the dispute. Customer is welcome to send their 1 dead pixel LCD back for a warranty exchange at any time during the 3 years from the day of purchase.
Also, we do not have an ability to "delete reviews" - all of our published reviews are from genuine paying customers - the positive and the few negative ones.

-- $250 million, 114 MW wind farms to enter operation next year and benefit from concessions and long-term contracts under Peru's renewable energy resource ("RER") program
-- Construction has commenced and notice to proceed has been issued to Vestas under a turnkey EPC agreement and commercial operations are expected during the fourth quarter of 2013
NEW YORK, Oct. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ContourGlobal, through its subsidiary ContourGlobal Latam S.A., announced today that it will construct two wind farms in Peru that it has acquired from Energia Eolica S.A. ("EESA"). EESA has been developing the wind farms known as Cupisnique and Talara with an installed capacity of approximately 114 MW. When completed, these will be the first large scale wind farms ever built in Peru and the largest wind farms in operation in South America outside of Brazil.
The projects will sell their output under 20-year US Dollar-denominated long-term power purchase agreements under Peru's RER program. ContourGlobal has contracted with Vestas Corporation to provide a turnkey engineering, procurement and construction contract ("EPC"). The total expected investment is approximately US $250 million.
Cupisnique is located in the province of Capasmayo in La Libertad region about 1,095 km from Lima, the nation's capital. The Cupisnique wind farm will use 45 x 1.8 MW Vestas V-100 wind turbine generators. Talara is located in the province of Talara in the Piura region about 670 km from Lima. The Talara wind farm will use 17 x 1.8 MW Vestas V-100 wind turbine generators. Both wind farms will also construct a new substation and transmission line to connect with the Peruvian national grid.
"We are very excited to be the first power company to enter the wind generation market in Peru," said Joseph C. Brandt, ContourGlobal's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Cupisnique and Talara bring us into the dynamic and fast growing Peruvian economy whose continued impressive growth requires an increasing supply of reliable and low cost electricity. These two projects tap into Peru's vast renewable resource potential and complement our regional generation and renewable footprint in Brazil and Colombia. We also welcome this opportunity to expand our collaboration with Montealto which will be constructing the wind farms with Vestas and has advanced the projects from early development to groundbreaking."

Breaking News: I-Cubs Get to Play!
Just by taking the field today the Iowa Cubs snapped their three-game skid at the hands of Mother Nature. Then they proceeded to hand Oklahoma City its first loss in a week by whipping the Redhawks 5-2 in the first game of a twinbill at Principal Park with a little help from rehabbing Kyuji Fujikawa.
A wind-breaking homer by Josh Vitters was the winning blow on a day that seemed balmy compared to the snow and rain that have plagued Des Moines since mid-week. In the top of the 2nd this contest was delayed by umpire attrition. The poor bastard behind the plate caught one in his sour spot and had to leave with a pair of badly fouled balls. By the time he got to his feet, received a wincing ovation and determined he wouldn't be able to do justice to called third strikes ten minutes had elapsed. Then it was another ten or fifteen before one of his two colleagues could dash to the dressing room under the outfield skyboxes and return girded for reassignment in the direct line of fire.
Fujikawa pitched the 6th and protected the lead he inherited by authoring a scoreless, hitless inning. He fanned two, one swinging; one not, and walked one. In the pressbox they opened the partition to a luxury suite to accommodate the small entourage of Japanese paparazzi assigned to chronicle Fuji's comeback. We'll see if they leave it open for Garza's noontime start tomorrow which I also plan to attend.
Speaking of authoring (and awkwardly contrived segues) I've got a new book releasing this week and the Kindle edition is already up @ Amazon. Versus the Demons is historical fiction with a jumping off point of the first nighttime ballgame ever played under permanent lights, an event that happened right here in Des Moines on May 2, 1930. It's the story of a journeyman bush leaguer. If you're curious here's a link:

I see Ryan Sweeney is being called up. I remember playing against him in high school back in Iowa. I was a senior and he was a freshman and he was already playing varsity--hitting and pitching. In fact, I remember roping a single off him to left field when we faced him and thinking "he is not that good" and then pausing for a minute and thinking "but he is only 14 and we only had 4 hits off him..." Even at that point, he just "had it" and everyone knew and was already talking about him going far in baseball.
He has no real base stealing speed and no power, but will put together quality at-bats and get on base. He is David Dejesus-lite (40 points OPS worse) at bat, but with a solid Right-Fielder's arm. Certainly better than Sappelt, but he hits from the left side not the right. He's also still only 28, so if he fits in well he could be a good young back-up outfielder for the next few years, or if he does well off the bench he might be attractive for a contender at the trade deadline and could net a low-level prospect in return.

"Speaking in a Monday radio interview, GM Jed Hoyer said the Cubs would like to get Matt Garza (lat) up to 100 pitches before activating him from the disabled list.
That means Garza would likely have to make at least two more rehab starts after throwing 54 pitches in his Monday outing for Triple-A Iowa. That would put Garza on track to return for the beginning of Chicago's nine-game road trip on May 21."
ninja and e.jackson are pretty much locks...vanillawafers supposedly signed with the club to be a starter and is doing a great job with it...t.wood has pitched himself into totally earning his slot...feldman is getting paid $6m and has used starts vs MIA + SD to make himself respectable...someone has to go, though. it should be interesting if everyone's healthy when garza is due back.
s.baker is still a bit away from throwing off a mound, but he's 1 week into resuming his comeback throwing program. it'll probably be mid/late june before he's ready, though.

There does seem to be something funky about closers pitching in non-save situations -- they never seem to be as effective. But, to your point, there could not have been a save situation in that game, so why not use your best reliever?
Your thought: don't pitch Rondon at all, since a save can't happen in extra innings at home.
Maddon's thought: might as well pitch him now, because there's no later.
It looked like the baserunner might have screened Russell some though it's still a play he should have made.
I wasn't thrilled with the use of Rondon in that situation. In save situations opponents have a 77 OPS. In non-save situations it's a 116 OPS. We had other relievers for that spot we could have used.
I'm not sure if it's his normal swing but it's obvious he can hit and he's always hit for power just not HRs so if it is his normal swing there's something else going on.
This article from spring training said he was trying to pull the ball a lot more:
Oh, thanks. I guess I should actually look at the schedule. Yay, 3-game road trip!
Good call, indeed. This ought to be a good series.
Sorry to nit-pick -- but the games against the Nats this week are at home.
Can't remember a worse weather-start to a season. Yuck.
Basically Russell booted a slam dunk DP grounder letting a run score. But he drove in the tying run in 9th. Just not their day, Rondon notwithstanding.
Didn't see the game, but it sounded like the Cubs gave away 2 runs with poor fielding. Bummer.
Well, it's been a fun diet of Reds, Brewers and Braves, but now the Cubs have to play real teams in May (Pirates, Nationals, SF, Cards and Dodgers) -- hope we are all still smiling when we wake up on Memorial Day.
He does seem out of synch. His body seems to start forward, then his arms sort of try to catch up -- if that's his normal swing, he will never hit for power. It's an all-arms slasher swing, but the timing seems off.
He is currently slugging .256 -- I realize the weather has been bad, but that's epically bad. Currently 92nd out of 94 qualified NL batters. Yikes.

The activity of the anti-inflammatory agents Flunixin-meglumine (FLU), RS (±) Carprofen (CPF) and S (+) CPF on bovine cyclooxygenases (COXs) has been characterized in feedlot calves using an in vitro whole blood model. The drugs showed equivalent efficacy in their inhibitory activity on COXs, and the rank order of potency for both COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition was FLU > S (+) CPF > RS (±) CPF. Our results indicated that FLU is a nonselective inhibitor of bovine COXs, whereas RS (±) CPF and S (+) CPF exhibited different degrees of preferential inhibition of COX-2 isoenzyme. The rank order of IC50 COX-1: IC50 COX-2 potency ratios was in fact S (+) CPF (51.882) > RS (±) CPF (13.964) > FLU (0.606), and the calculated percentage inhibition of COX-1 corresponding to COX-2 inhibition values comprised between 80% and 95% was comprised between 57.697 and 79.865 for FLU, 33.373 and 51.319 for RS (±) CPF, and 0.230 and 4.622 for S (+) CPF, respectively. These findings are discussed in relation to the prediction of the clinical relevance of COX inhibition by the test drugs in cattle.

Prime Minister John Key says of the Australians that "we need them more than they need us".
OPINION: That much was clear during his summit with Australian counterpart Julia Gillard in Queenstown. Both leaders went there looking for solutions to domestic problems. But while Gillard talked up the bonds of friendship and family between the two countries, it was Key who made the biggest gesture, agreeing to take in 150 refugees a year from Australian processing centres.
Gillard's response to Key's big headache - the plight of Kiwi migrants across the Tasman, an estimated 100,000 of whom live with no welfare safety net - was to make no concessions.
"We have arrangements for New Zealanders that have a generosity associated with them not given to any other nationals from any other country," she said.
"New Zealanders can come to Australia and access our labour market without restrictions. We don't confer that benefit on any other nation."
It was left to Key to take a more conciliatory line.
Despite a growing outcry domestically at Australia's refusal to reciprocate benefits afforded to Australians in New Zealand, he reminded journalists the 2001 deal whipping away welfare benefits for Kiwis across the Tasman was agreed between both countries.
The threat at the time was Australia might pull the plug completely on the free flow of people between the two countries - something that had been enshrined since the 1920s.
Freedom to live and work across the Tasman remains the touchstone for New Zealand, Key insists.
About 53,000 Kiwis upped sticks for Australia last year. In June 2012, it was estimated about 640,000 New Zealanders were living across the Tasman.
"You've got to remember for all New Zealanders they have every opportunity to go and work in Australia if they want to. So that's something we want to hold on to very tightly."
Behind the scenes, however, there have been signs that Australia might bend. Key confirmed Australia was "looking at the issue and have for some time".
Internal Australian immigration documents, issued last week, reveal a proposed "pathway" that would allow Kiwis living in Australia to gain residency after "eight years or more".
The proposal was presented to the Australian Cabinet - and New Zealand government sources confirm it is only one of several options the Australian Government has looked at.
But Key shot down any likelihood of imminent change, and government sources are determinedly playing down expectations in an Australian election year. As a senior New Zealand government minister acknowledged, beating the drum too loudly on this side of the Tasman would only paint "a huge bullseye" on Gillard.
In an Australian briefing paper, it is estimated changing the system could give about 15,000 more Kiwis access to social welfare.
That makes it a fraught issue for the Gillard government to contemplate at any time - yet alone an election year - with New Zealand migration to Australia at record levels.
And as Key acknowledged, the alternative is an Australia that severs the final ties and ignores its smaller neighbour altogether.
His pledge to take 150 refugees a year from Australia might be a drop in the ocean compared with Australia's recent pledge to up its quota to 20,000. However, it helps Gillard out of a growing asylum seeker mess by lending legitimacy to her overseas processing plans.
The quid pro quo is that it reminds Australia that New Zealand is still relevant.
Julia Gillard and John Key announced: Joint action to bring down exorbitant mobile roaming rates through new powers for consumer watchdogs on both sides of the Tasman.
Australia will trial fast-track automated technology for departures from Australian airports with the aim of achieving "domestic-like" travel between the two countries.
New Zealand will take 150 asylum seekers a year from Australian detention centres.
Australia confirmed its support for New Zealand's bid for Security Council membership in 2015-16.
Joint funding over the next two years to support the development of a potential vaccine for rheumatic fever. Officials have been charged with investigating a mutual student debt recovery scheme.
