Estimating Exchange Rates of Water in Embayments using Simple Budget Equations.
Keith Sverdrup, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Simple budgets may be used to estimate the exchange of water in embayments that capitalize on the concept of steady state and conservation principals. This is especially true for bays that experience a significant exchange of freshwater. This exchange of freshwater may reduce the average salt concentration in the bay compared to seawater if it involves addition of freshwater from rivers, R, and/or precipitation, P. Alternatively, it may increase the average salt concentration in the bay compared to seawater if there is relatively little river input and high evaporation, E. Since freshwater input changes the salt concentration in the bay, and salt is a conservative material, it is possible to combine two steady state budgets for a bay, one for salt and one for water, to solve for the magnitude of the water flows that enter and exit the bay mouth. Students will make actual calculations for the inflow and outflow of water to Puget Sound, Washington and the Mediterranean Sea and compare them to actual measured values.

Talk:Carbine Rifle

this wiki
Another Bitch From Ess-Tee
Total irrelevance, opinions?. Ess-Tee 10:17, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
This page is a critical failure
It needs more info about GTA and less about realism. I also think we should name the articles after the in-game names. (So we don't put the in-game named M4 into M16 or AR just because of the wrong timeline). --DT-boy 05:26, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
- I fully agree with that. This is not the IFMDB wiki, this is a GTA wiki. DarkHedge 16:38, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
- We absolutely don't need most of the information here, such as the real-life history. It should also all be sorted by game, instead of model or location. That should make it more logical and useful for the average reader. If that's not enough, just add {{wikipedia}} so people can get more info elsewhere. Gboyers talk 19:08, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
- We should separate this page into M4 and M16. --DT-boy 06:16, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
i totally agree they should change it to M4, because that is what the game refers it too right?--Claude CJ Vercetti 01:53, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
- I think calling it "M16 Variants" would be better. The AR-15 is a semi-auto civilian sporting rifle, not a military assault rifle. Every M16 variant that has been in a GTA game since GTA III have been full auto rifles and carbines. I do agree that an entire history of the weapon isn't needed on this page specifically and a Wikipedia link would satisfy those wanting to learn more. Ghost Leader 17:31, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
we should use the gta IV M4 for the the template
Reload animation
The reload animation is not incorrect. The charging handle is mounted on the rear of the carrying handle (or the raised portion of a flat-top upper receiver), and it has a latch on the left side. It is common for shooters to chamber a round using the left hand by grabbing the latch and simply pulling to the rear. SmokeSound off! 23:24, August 28, 2012 (UTC)
^I agree. Also, you can clearly see on GTA IV that Niko pulls the charging handle at the rear of the gun. Eddiehimself (talk) 21:06, January 22, 2013 (UTC)
No M16 in GTA V?
The picture on the page with the assault rifle can not be an M16. The handguard in the image is carbine-length, making it an M4 with an ACOG sight. Also, the buttstock is the collapsible variant, which is attached to M4s and AR-15s. The traditional buttstock for an M16 is fixed. JC · Talk · Contributions 21:28, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
Page Name Change?
I think we should have the page's name changed to "Carbine Rifle". It is a bit more general than M16, as it was only called that in GTA III, and it has had many different names since. Is anyone with me on this?
(Talk) 17:22, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
Another (And kinda late) vote for Carbine Rifle. I do agree it seems much more appropriate. (Henriquedematos (talk) 18:56, July 10, 2013 (UTC))
So, no mod is changing it? (Henriquedematos (talk) 21:47, August 13, 2013 (UTC))
I'll contact a mod and see if he can get this changed for us. (Talk) 22:30, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

What is GNOME?
"GNOME 3 is an easy and elegant way to use your computer. It is designed to put you in control and bring freedom to everybody. GNOME 3 is developed by the GNOME community, a diverse, international group of contributors that is supported by an independent, non-profit foundation." GNOME
Before installing GNOME, ensure that the X Window System has been installed.
Please note that Linux kernel 3.13.* has some serious incompatibility with various graphics drivers. If you like to use gentoo-sources or vanilla-sources, please use a 3.12.* kernel. This is of particular importance if you plan to run GNOME, and want to use NVIDIA (commercial or nouveau) or ATI (ati-drivers) graphics drivers.
Preparing to emerge
To get your system ready to emerge gnome, it is recommended that you first set the gnome profile mix-in. To accomplish this, do the following:
# eselect profile list Currently available mix-ins profiles: [11] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/audio [12] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/console-extras [13] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/dvd [14] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/gnome [15] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/kde [16] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/mate [17] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/media [18] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/print [19] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/python3-only [20] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/rhel5-compat [21] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-db [22] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-mail [23] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/server-web [24] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/X [25] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/xfce [26] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/vmware-guest [27] funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/mix-ins/hardened
After seeing a list of available profiles, we want to add in the appropriate number for the gnome mix-in. To do this, run the following:
# eselect profile add 14
By enabling the gnome mix-in, various USE and other settings will be optimized to provide you with a pain-free GNOME installation experience.
You are provided with two packages that will pull in this desktop environment:
- gnome -- This is the "whole shabang" - pulls in a range of applications made for the gnome desktop environment including a few games, an archive manager, a system monitor, a web browser, a terminal, etc.
- gnome-light
To emerge gnome-light run the following command
# emerge --ask gnome-light
To emerge gnome run the following command
# emerge --ask gnome
Initial Startup
Typically, you will want to use gdm, the GNOME display manager, to log in to GNOME. This will allow you to log in graphically, rather than using the text console.
To enable gdm, edit /etc/conf.d/xdm and set DISPLAYMANAGER to gdm instead of xdm. Then, perform the following steps to add xdm to the default runlevel, and have it start automatically from now on when your system starts:
# rc-update add xdm default # rc

Threaded View
Has your DH ever done this??
Ok, first off, we use the abbreviation DH for, what, "darling husband"? Well last night I think Dumb husband might have been more appropriate! ha! Sweetheart that he really is, he agreed to paint the living room and began last night. YEA! no more taupe. ( This whole place is taupe except for the deep red kitchen we did the first week here!) Now we are changing it up to a nice soft but welcoming (NOT pastel, rofl!!!) apple green. I love it so far!
What I di-n't love was the green paint on my best crockery and dishes!!!! ACK!
Found them this morning- he rinsed in the kitchen sink and splashed paint all over them!!!! Dear, darling, and occasionally dumb, husband of mine!!!

(Sports Network) - Right-hander Zach McAllister aims for a second straight win
and a fifth in seven decisions on Friday night when the Cleveland Indians host
the Houston Astros in game two of a four-game series at Progressive Field.
The Indians earned an important 2-1 win in Thursday's opener when Matt
Carson's RBI single in the bottom of the 11th inning.
Back-to-back base hits by Yan Gomes and Asdrubal Cabrera preceded Michael
Brantley's line out against Rhiner Cruz (0-2) in the 11th. Mike Aviles walked
to load the bases with one out and Carson, who was a defensive replacement for
Jason Giambi in the top of the 10th, deposited a single into right-center
field to bring home Gomes for the winning run.
The Indians are one-half game behind the Texas Rangers and Tampa Bay Rays, who
are tied for the AL's two wild-card spots.
McAllister, who'll turn 27 in December, was 4-7 on the season after a 10-3
loss to Detroit on Aug. 8 in which he was tagged for six runs while retiring
just seven batters.
He reeled off consecutive defeats of Minnesota, the Los Angeles Angels of
Anaheim and Minnesota again while surrendering just five runs in 19 2/3
innings in his next three starts, then got win No. 8 with a 7-1 defeat of the
Chicago White Sox on Sept. 15.
In that game, his most recent outing, McAllister allowed a run on six hits in
6 2/3 innings while dropping his earned run average from 4.11 to 3.96.
The Indians are 7-3 in his last 10 appearances.
He's opposed by rookie lefty Brett Oberholtzer, who's dropped two straight
since beginning his career with four wins in five decisions.
The 24-year-old Delaware native started his big league stint with three
straight appearances from the bullpen before downing Baltimore, 11-0, in his
initial starting assignment on July 31.
He was 4-1 after a complete game gem against Seattle on Sept. 1 - in which he
allowed just two hits and struck out five - but has since dropped two straight
starts against Oakland and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
He gave up just a run in six innings of the 2-1 defeat against the Athletics,
but was nicked for four runs and six hits in six innings while falling, 6-2,
to the Angels.
The Indians won two of three from the Astros when the teams played at Houston
in April. Houston entered the week with an 11-10 lead in the all-time series.

We know the expression "heart and soul." You can even look up definitions, one of which reads, "the entirety of one's energies or affections." In that spirit, Minneapolis sisters Christina Paylor and Carmen Means are drawing on soul-deep commitments to family to help the ailing heart of 13-year-old Amazin Crudup, Paylor's daughter and Means' niece. Amazin has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which damages the muscle wall of the lower chambers of the heart and is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in especially active adolescents. After getting up in the morning, getting dressed takes about all the strength she can manage before needing to rest. Routine teenage activities like frequenting the shopping mall, carousing downtown on a Friday night, even simply going to school are out of the question. At press deadline, Amazin had weakened enough to have been admitted to University of Minnesota Amplatt Children's Hospital since March 18. Continue Reading →

By Leisa Zigman I-Team Reporter
St. Louis (KSDK) - Hundreds of people packed into an auditorium Tuesday to hear more about a story first revealed Monday on NewsChannel 5.
The story centered around the Army's secret Cold War experiments on St. Louisans during the 1950s and '60s.
Sociologist Lisa Martino-Taylor has spent years uncovering government reports and unclassified documents and Tuesday she made her findings public at St. Louis Community College-Meramec Campus.
Documents showed how the Army sprayed zinc cadmium sulfide on unsuspecting law income communities. The Army lied to city officials at the time saying they were testing a smoke screen in case of an attack by the Soviet Union.
"There is a lot of evidence that shows people in St. Louis and the city in particular, minority communities, were subjected to military testing that was connected to a larger radiological weapons testing project," said Martino-Taylor.
We linked to Martino-Taylor's research and all of the unclassified government documents and hundreds of people have responded. Some, who claim to be in the scientific community, have criticized her reporting as flawed.
People like Diane Cherry, who remembers the spraying wanted to hear more from Martino-Taylor.
"If the chemical was harmless, why did the government do everything in secret? Why were they so sneaky weaky with us," said Cherry.
Some are wondering if their cancers and other illnesses are linked to the Cold War spraying? Even if this chemical was harmless, thousands of St. Louisans were used as human guinea pigs.
The I-Team's Leisa Zigman is continuing to press the Army, the CDC, and politicians for more information.
If you remember the spraying, contact Leisa at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The National Rifle Association and gun-control advocates, including the husband of wounded former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, are facing off at the year's first Senate hearing on curbing gun violence.
Today's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing comes less than two months after the massacre of 20 first-graders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
That shooting rampage has revived the debate over restricting firearms, including proposals by President Barack Obama to require background checks on all gun sales and ban assault weapons.
In prepared testimony, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre says he favors steps like boosting school security and enforcing existing gun laws.
Testifying for some gun curbs will be retired astronaut Mark Kelly, Giffords' husband. Giffords is a Democrat and gun owner.

According to multiple witnesses, a woman was assaulted and thrown in the back of a waiting pickup truck by two men.
Police were called to the 1100 block of West Colorado Avenue around 11:30 Saturday morning after receiving calls about the abduction. The truck was not located.
The suspects are both reportedly white men. The first has been described as being his late 50s or early 60s, about 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-8 and thin, with gray hair and a long, thick beard.
Witnesses described the second man as being between 40 and 50 years of age, 5-foot-8 to 6 feet tall, heavyset with thinning dark hair.
The victim is a 55-year-old woman, 5-foot-6 and thin with graying hair. She was wearing a purple or blue faded sweater with light-colored jeans at the time of the abduction.
The suspect vehicle is a small-sized 80s model Toyota or Chevy truck, gray or primer in color. It has a Colorado license plate starting with the numbers 861.
Anyone with information on this crime is asked to call police at 444-7000, or Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP to remain anonymous.

So I'm off to celebrate…
What an inspiring selection! Thank you!
I love your collection of photos!

My husband asked if I'd made the holiday up too LOL! And thanks for including one of my quilts in the mosaic!! 🙂

Members of Searsport's Planning Board will begin final deliberations Wednesday night on whether to approve construction of a 14-story propane tank at Mack Point. As a decision nears, DCP Midstream, the Denver-based company that wants to build the tank, has revealed in a quarterly report that it exported propane from another facility it owns in Virginia. The company has insisted it has no plans to use a Searsport location for exports. But opponents of the project say the availability of cheap propane in New England will force DCP to reconsider its intentions - if the Searsport tank is approved. Jay Field reports.
Word of the Virgina shipment came during a DCP conference call on fourth quarter earnings on Feb. 28. Shortly into his presentation, company executive William Waldheim said: "I'm excited to report that we successfully exported 6 million gallons of propane out of our Chesapeake terminal in January. Further work is required to export purity products on an ongoing basis. However, we are encouraged by the commercial results and will continue to explore this opportunity."
Steve Hinchman, of the group Thanks But No Tank, says this admission by the company raises questions about its real intentions in Searsport.
"Even as they were testifying in Searsport that this was an import-only terminal, they were silent on the fact that they were simultaneously converting their Virginia terminal, which is the same size, to exports," Hinchman says.
DCP would not make someone available to talk on tape by airtime. But in an e-mail, Roz Elliot, the company's vice president of public affairs said, "essentially our Chesapeake facility was able to export one load. The Searsport terminal is NOT designed for export. It would have to go through significant redesign and all new regulatory approvals."
But Steve Hinchman thinks the flush domestic market for propane would eventually pressure the company to use a Searsport location to export gas abroad. "The Marcellus and Utica shale gas fields production in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and New York is now exceeding total demand in all of the Northeast," he says.
With a surplus of propane selling for a little under $3 a gallon in Maine, Hinchman says there's no longer any need to import gas from overseas.
"That's the fundamental problem that DCP faces in Searsport," he says. "You know, these are publicly-traded companies. They will have an obligation to their shareholders to convert that terminal to its highest and best use. They won't be able to resist that pressure to convert it to export."
But the main propane industry group in New England sees the market dynamics more fluidly. "Five years ago, the thought of the United States exporting propane was - everybody would look at you like you had three heads if you suggested that. So, the reality is nobody can predict what the energy market will look like five years from now," says Joe Rose.
But Rose has nonetheless agreed to give it a try. Rose heads the Propane Gas Associaton of New England. Right now, the rapidly growing natural gas supply has U.S, suppliers pressuring the U.S. Department of Energy to allow them to ship LNG abroad. "We all, in the industry, strongly feel that once we start exporting natural gas it's going to drive the price up," he says.
Rose says he eventually expects the price of propane on the U.S. and world markets to narrow. Right now, the prices are about a dollar apart.
"If we got that down to, say, 25 or 30 cents, it would be absolutely economical for propane companies that sell to retail customers to have a quantity of propane contracted at a facility like Searsport, so that the gas is on hand, in Maine and available in the winter time when their customers need it," he says.
Rose says retrofitting the Searsport site to export propane would cost DCP Midstream as much as $40 million. The company's terminal in Chesapeake, Virginia, he notes, is a lot closer to the Northeast shale gas fields than Maine.
Rose says DCP officials have told him they have no plans to move in this direction. But groups opposing the Searsport tank are aren't buying the company's assurances. They've filed an intent to sue the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to get the federal permit green-lighting the project thrown out.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The last time Duke entered the NCAA tournament as a No. 2 seed was last year and the Blue Devils didn't last too long.
They lost to 15th-seeded Lehigh in the second round, a stunning upset that will have an effect on both Duke and this year's 15th-seeded opponent, Albany.
"Well, Lehigh didn't do us any favors, that's for sure," Albany coach Will Brown said Thursday, a day before the Blue Devils and Great Danes meet in the second round of the Midwest Regional. "I think the one thing with your kids is if you look back at the NCAA tournament, a 16 seed has never beaten a 1. A 15 has beaten a 2."
Lehigh's 75-70 win last season was the sixth time a No. 2 seed went down to a 15.
The winner of this game faces the winner of the game between No. 7 Creighton and No. 10 Cincinnati on Sunday.

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory's communications director says he's leaving the job after only three months in Raleigh because of family concerns.
Chris Walker said Saturday he'll be moving back to Nashville, Tenn., where his family has remained and has had trouble selling their house. He said his wife is also about to have their second child and won't be able to travel.
Walker said he told McCrory about the situation Friday and said the new governor gave him his blessing to leave. He will stick around for a while as officials search for his successor.
Walker arrived to direct communications for McCrory's transition team in November and took a similar administration post. He's worked for North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr and in Mitt Romney's presidential campaign.

WESTLAKE -- Westlake investigators are still trying to piece together what compelledScott A. Smith, 37,of North Ridgeville to walk into a local movie theater with several weapons.
Smith's mugshot shows aman with a stock build, unsmiling and staring at the camera. His light brown hair is buzzed, the same length as his mustache and beard.
Smith was arrested last Saturday night, after police say he walked into the Regal Cinemas in Crocker Parker, bought a movie ticket for the 10 p.m. "The Dark Knight Rises" movie, and walked into the theater with those weapons.
Officer Jeremiah Bullins, an off-duty Westlake Police officer who was working security, and the theater manager noticed the beige satchel Smith was carrying and became suspicious.
Smith was the first and only person inside that movie theater at the time. Westlake Police say he sat in the center seat in the back row, a place with "tactical advantage."
"His back was to the wall. Basically, if he chose to do something there, all his potential victims were in front of him, and he would have an advantage over them," said Lt. Ray Arcuri, with Westlake Police.
A total of 70 to 80 people later came to watch the movie. Officer Bullins and the theater manager approached Smith, and asked to see his bag, now on the floor and between his feet. Smith complied.
Inside the bag was a fully loaded 9 mm pistol, two full magazines- each carrying about 16 per 17 rounds, and 3 knives. Officer Bullins found afourth knife underneath Smith's clothing.
Smith was immediately arrested. He is now facing four counts of carrying various weapons, 1 count for carrying a concealed weapon, and a possible felony charge for having weapons under disability -- stemming from a medication that could prohibit him from owning a firearm.
He did not have a concealed carry permit.
"We're unable to establish a motive right now, or what his plans were," said Arcuri.
They took his truck, and the tactical vest inside into evidence andsearched his North Ridgeville home, finding a room dedicated to weapons in the house he shared with his wife and one-year-old daughter.
"Lot of long guns in there, pistols, a lot of ammunition," said Arcuri. Smith's wife told police she knew about the gun room, but had no idea what his motive would be.
Neighbors say it leaves them with lots of questions.
"It just shocks me and it's like, what here? This person? He doesn't seem at all like the kind of person that would do something like that," Pati Habenicht.
"Makes me not want to go to the movies because of what happened at the other movie theater, and now this again. It's just scary," said Ashlie Larissey, who frequently walks past his Emerald Street home.
Police say Smith never made any threats, and never spoke about killing anyone. Andaside from traffic violations, Smith has no criminal record.
He served in the Army, but was discharged just one month into basic training in February 1995.
"You never know what people are capable of, and it's a very risk situation. So yeah, the officer, like I said, he should be commended for what he did. That was an outstanding job," said Arcuri.

Early reports are inconclusive on whether or not the Republican National Convention was a boon to New York City's economy.

Instead he heard tales of hard living and debauchery, which he has agreed to publish in The Beast... more
Pipeline Paradise Michael Goss
The third anniversary of 9/11 last week brought on a predictable onslaught of recaps and memorials, reminding us all of the tragedy of that day. We've been doing a lot of bombing and invading since then, ostensibly to defend against further attacks. Most of us felt pretty good about invading Afghanistan and removing the Taliban regime, but a lot of people are having second thoughts about Iraq. Our reasoning for the Iraqi invasion has changed as quickly as evidence of WMDs and a Saddam-Osama link has been discredited. What's the connection? But there is a connection between Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as every conflict our nation is involved in today: oil. At every turn, pipelines and proven reserves seem more of a motivation to our foreign policy than Homeland Security...more
Body Count 1001 Stan Goff
These milestones come along, reminding us and the wrath struggles to break free again. The anger is never really absent, just dormant like a sleeping volcano.

text: The Empire strikes back: Intel is racing to catch up in the mobile age Magazine features 18 October 12 by Michael V. Copeland This article was taken from the October 2012 issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.Some of the biggest bets in the computing industry were made on the fifth floor of Intel's Robert Noyce Building, on the north-east corner of the chip giant's main campus in Santa Clara, California.It was here that CEO Andy Grove cemented the "Wintel" partnership that would dominate the PC industry for more than a decade. It was here in 2005 that the newly installed CEO Paul Otellini announced an agreement with Steve Jobs, bringing Apple computers into the fold.Despite these gambles, a staid, conformist ethos extends throughout much of Intel's headquarters. The office decor on the fifth floor consists of a boring grey matrix of chest-high cubicles set against walls emblazoned with an ugly dusty-rose-coloured stripe. Khaki-clad engineers filter silently through the aisles with identical black laptops, filing into the windowless conference rooms where they spend much of their time. In all, Intel's offices seem to have as much spontaneity as one of its sterile chip-making factories.Until you get to the pirate flags.The flags, which hang on a row of cubicles near Otellini's desk, mark the territory of Mike Bell, whom Otellini hired in 2010 to make Intel the phone industry's premier chip provider. An alumnus of Apple -- where the Mac team famously flew a Jolly Roger of its own -- Bell is a rebellious presence in the buttoned-up confines of Intel. In an office filled with hushed-toned, Supercuts-coiffed engineers, Bell speaks quickly and laughs often, brushing back his mop of reddish-brown hair. And then there's his wardrobe, which seems to consist entirely of Hawaiian shirts. (Today's selection is a navy-blue number with an outrigger canoe emblazoned on the back.)"As long as it's not illegal, Paul's given me permission to break any policy," Bell says. "I don't like lots of meetings. We make decisions and we go." At a place like Intel, that's tantamount to anarchy.But then, that's the point. Otellini chose Bell because Intel's usual modus operandi, which had helped it utterly dominate the PC-microprocessor market, had left it shut out of the phone industry. Intel had built its business by predictably releasing increasingly powerful chips that could accomplish ever-more-impressive tasks. Indeed, Gordon Moore-- who coined the eponymous law -- was one of the company's cofounders. The chipmaker's control of its industry was so absolute that the US Federal Trade Commission, California chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices, the State of New York, the European Union and South Korea accused it of anticompetitive tactics. The EU eventually levied a $1.3 billion (£833 million) fine against the company for anticompetitive behaviour.That, however, was before the iPhone, the iPad, Android phones and tablets hijacked the future of computing. Suddenly consumers didn't need high-powered machines that could deliver the latest 3D gaming experience at over-clocked speeds. They wanted portable, energy-efficient devices that could run lightweight applications without draining the battery.Unfortunately for Intel, its rivals knew how to build chips for just those kinds of devices. In the mid-80s, British computer company Acorn created what came to be known as ARM (originally Acorn RISC Machine) architecture. Apple partnered with Cambridge-based Acorn to create a chip for its first mobile device, the Newton; the two spun out ARM (tweaked as Advanced RISC Machines), an independent company. It launched in 1990 with Robin Saxby installed as CEO, and was in profit by 1993. Whereas Intel's chips used brute force to make computers run faster -- more transistors performing increasingly more-complicated functions -- ARM focused on writing leaner, more efficient instructions, which required fewer transistors, used less energy, generated less heat, and needed no cooling fans. However, ARM architecture struggled until the arrival of the smartphone in the early 2000s. (Apple sold its stake in the late 90s.) Today, ARM chips are found in more than 95 per cent of mobile phones on the market -- including the iPhone and almost every Android phone. The most advanced smartphones in the world contain multiple ARM processing engines -- Samsung's Galaxy S3 i9300 holds as many as 14.This represents an existential crisis for Intel; the future of computing is small and battery-powered. As sales of smartphones and tablets quickly outpaced those of traditional PCs, the chipmaker faced obsolescence unless it could become a player in these markets. Meanwhile, developers were writing hundreds of thousands of apps for ARM-powered iPhones, iPads and Android devices -- apps that wouldn't work on an Intel processor -- creating network effects that threatened to shut Intel out of the mobile market for good.Intel's early smartphone efforts were less than inspiring. Chips based on the company's low-powered Atom architecture -- previously used in netbooks -- were still too power-hungry, and phone manufacturers avoided them. In 2010 Otellini stood onstage at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and promised an LG Atom phone by the end of the year. It never came. In 2011 Intel would sell almost 330 million microprocessors, nearly all of them going into traditional PCs and servers. ARM, on the other hand, would sell licences to make 7.9 billion chips, which were deployed in everything from refrigerators to cars, set-top boxes to coffeemakers. ARM chips even began infiltrating the server industry, long seen as an Intel stronghold.And so in July 2010, three months after the release of the iPad, Otellini brought in Bell. This spring, after an intense two-year sprint, the first consumer phones to use Intel processors went on sale in India, China and Europe. By the end of this year, Motorola Mobility, now owned by Google, is expected to launch its own Intel-powered phone.If Intel can establish itself successfully in the phone industry, it will impact far more than just its shareholders. As with all of Intel's big moves, billions of dollars and the future of the company -- indeed, the very future of computing -- hang in the balance. So far, mobile semiconductors have been improving at a healthy pace, by some measures even besting Moore's law, all while extending battery life. But if Intel becomes a true competitor, mobile devices could get a lot smarter -- and a lot more quickly. No other chip company has Intel's track record of innovation or the same resources to pour into R&D. Rivals will have to match Intel's furious pace or get swept aside. Which means that in just a couple of years, that iPhone in your pocket could look like the mobile equivalent of a TRS-80. Bell describes himself as just "a phone guy". That can sound like modesty, surrounded as he is by semiconductor wonks who have dedicated their lives to understanding the finer points of Intel's x86 chips. They have excelled at performing a kind of engineering magic --finding new ways to pack ever-more transistors into ever-smaller packages. Bell, on the other hand, just knows how to build cool phones. He spent 17 years as an engineer at Apple, where he worked on software for the Mac and the original iPhone before decamping to Palm, where he led hardware development of its well-received but ill-fated Pre and Pixi devices.But a phone guy is just what Intel needs. For years the company focused so intently on making its semiconductors pack more processing punch that it failed to understand that the mobile market required a different approach. Even when Intel tried to go small, it still went too big. Compared with ARM's, its initial Atom chips were electricity hogs. They didn't work in phones, so manufacturers crammed them into Frankenstein devices such as the Lenovo IdeaPad U8 and Aigo P8860D. They both flopped. At Apple, on the other hand, Bell learned that there's an art to integrating hardware and software, especially in mobile devices. It means designing phones to accomplish only the specific tasks that customers expect, using only as much power as is absolutely necessary. The goal isn't just to sell as much silicon as possible but also to please phone customers -- and by extension the carriers who sell to them. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

While the Canon Pixma MG5620 is a capable machine with an easy set-up process and an attractive set of features, its high cost of consumables cuts into the overall value.
Pricing not available
Whether you want a high-quality printer, an all-in-one workhorse, a compact photo printer, or a simple single-function inkjet, we've got you covered.
A digital camera is a valuable imaging resource, but what happens when you need a physical copy? For when virtual sharing just isn't good enough, Canon takes the opportunity at CES 2013 to reveal four new Pixma multifunction inkjet printers.
Pricing not available
After three years, the midrange Pixma Pro models get some love.
Pricing not available
Boasting Apple AirPrint, automatic double-sided printing, and impressive performance for the price, the Canon Pixma MG3200 is a fine choice for shoppers looking for an inexpensive printer.
Pricing not available
The Canon Pixma MG4150 looks good, produces impressive results with text and is economical to run, but its slow print speeds and so-so performance with graphics blot its copy book.
Typical price: £120.00
Unique features like HD Movie Print, CD/DVD printing, and Apple AirPrint compatibility make the Canon Pixma MG6220 a no-brainer for amateur photographers, families, and home offices.
Pricing not available
Rapid print speed, top quality results and extra features like dual paper trays and support for direct CD/DVD printing make the Canon Pixma iP4950 a great buy.
Typical price: £65.00
The Canon MG6250 is a great option for people who are big into photography. It has an excellent scanner and produces very high quality photo prints. There's plenty more on offer, including Wi-Fi and Ethernet support, direct CD/DVD printing and dual paper trays.
Typical price: £135.00
The Canon Pixma MG5350 delivers excellent quality prints at a really rapid pace. It's not the cheapest model to run and it lacks a touchscreen, but we think its impressive performance helps to make up for these two slight failings.
Typical price: £105.00
It's fairly expensive to buy and its running costs aren't cheap, but the Canon MG8250 prints superb quality text, graphics and photos at a rapid pace.
Typical price: £250.00

When it comes to pursuing professional and personal goals, Lieutenant Estes likes to shoot for the stars, which is why she joined the Army. She credits the Army for helping her become "a more educated, more disciplined, better person." She hopes to some day make the Army skeet shooting team.
I joined the Army for many different reasons. I was really interested in the educational opportunities. Also, it's exciting to be able to move to different places and different hospitals.
I was very surprised when I stepped into an Army hospital. They're very nice facilities, very comfortable facilities. We do computer charting, we have state-of-the-art technology, lots of things that I didn't see in a civilian hospital.
We are right on the cutting edge with research. I learn something new every time I come to work. I work in the Intensive Care [Unit], so my patient ratio is one-to-one and I am able to take advantage of spending more time with my patients and with their families. I get to help them understand what's going on and help them be comfortable with all the procedures.
On my floor, we perform self-scheduling. I can look at what I want to do in the next couple of months and try to schedule myself around that. I just need to make sure I work 40 hours a week. You know, I work 12 hours, so I work actually less days a week than most nurses do on an eight-hour shift, so I do actually have quite a bit of free time.
And then, of course, I do have 30 days of leave. My husband and I do a lot of things together. He took me to the World Skeet Shoot to get a feel of what it was really about. While we were out there, we saw the Army team and that got me pumped up to try to be on the Army team. We go shoot skeet probably twice a week. I really enjoy it. We play golf. We also spend time with our dog and take a little time for ourselves - go out to dinner, try to have a little romantic time.
If you are a nurse or even considering going into the military, I would recommend researching it and to take advantage of what you can. The Army will help you with continuing education, a better salary, better patient ratios and great travel opportunities.
There certainly is a sense of duty and patriotism I feel. There are a lot of Army Officers, a lot of enlisted men, and even nurses that gave their life so that we can live the life that we live now.
One of the reasons why I chose the Army was the Army values. They have definitely impacted my life. I do feel like I have a greater sense of honor in our country, and just being an American.
I feel like I've taken more pride in myself and trying to take more advantage of the opportunities given to me to make myself a more educated, more disciplined, better person.

If I had a nickel for every time I've heard the phrase, "stretched too thin," I'd be neck-deep in nickels. Nonprofit or not, many staff feel the strain of too much to do and not enough time to do it. One executive director recently phrased the question this way:
How do we prioritize our work and then be willing to live with it?
Setting priorities, in part, means choosing what's not going to get done. Everything can't be a priority. Most things can't be a priority. Only the few, essential, mission-critical things are priorities. The rest…well…I can hear it now.
"52 of my 57 tasks ARE mission-critical! It all MUST be done and done soon!"
Assuming the criteria of what is and is not mission-critical is sound, you're left with two choices: delegate or delete. Both involve letting go.
Delegation means being willing to let go of control and trusting someone else to put their stamp on the result. However, there may be more options here than you first imagine. We may delegate to someone within our organization or work collaboratively with another organization. We may hire out certain tasks. We may be able to divide a task and only attend to the critical aspect of it. What other options can you think of?
Deleting critical tasks may mean facing the fact that capacity is truly being exceeded and then letting go of that which makes the task critical (e.g., paring programs or services). This is an extreme measure to be sure.
These are not easy decisions. The important ones rarely are. Yet, we must maintain the capacity to deliver on our commitments, and recognize that every "yes" that takes us beyond our capacity diminishes the quality of our programs and the integrity of our organization.
If you find yourself wresting on this particular mat, please contact ONEplace. We'll work with you to sort things out.

Ho. A new EX set means a new review set.
Apprentice Healer/Nicole: A hobo healer. Ho. She's a classy lady. Doesn't dress like a ****, looks nice. A bit generic as far as skills go, but really has some potential OP abuse with Emperor Verlaat. Keeps your guys alive, debuffs the enemy, not bad stats. 8.5/10.
Daughter of Light/Nerissa: Run her with Meltiria and get a Recettear file! Shop keeper and fairy buddy! Well, she's cute. And has nice skills. Buffs and SP gens, or can go beast mode to become fast as balls with decent attack. 8.5/10.
Cruel Seeker/Baz Deeka: An odd guy. He can be control or support. Instant kills high AT units, like Retear, Joachim, and buffed units. Can also support friendlies for +20 AT, or if you want, buff an enemy to set them up for a kill. His second action skill is like a free Oversoul of sorts for augments; not to be used late game, rather use it early on to pinpoint retrieve what you want. 8/10
Daughter of War/Fraumathu: High stat beat stick, almost like an anti-Judie. Gens SP on open at the cost of setting one friendly to HP =0 , but you can combo her with Augment Doll, Shambling Corpse, what have you for some SP. Above average stats and a nice open. 7.5-8/10
Savage Archer/Cristy: Ho boy. High HP ranged unit, decent attack power, but on the slow side. While Revolver Bladesman is your fast and beefy sniper, Cristy is your back line artillery. Triple attack for 2 SP, and an engage action that can really mess with refreshing units like Catira or undeads. Not bad looking either. toi8 art is OP. 8.5/10
Devil Summoner/Niro: A beefy ranged free reviver that hits like a truck. Holy hell. Hyper-SP efficient. Holy hell. Combined with Cristy and Field Commander, Mercenary Nation may just be rising in the tiers list. 9/10
Apprentice Falconer/Leyte: A lvl 2 unit that can hit like a truck. Her action skill can whiff though, so there may be some RNG trolling there. A solid unit that's good for light-heavy AoE damage, which Wizard Kingdome generally lacks. 8/10
Hand of Protection/Lynn: A lot like Rozari, except with a start skill and an auto skill that engages beast mode if a low level unit dies. What's big is her pinpoint attack action; you can target a low HP guy while returning a full HP lvl 3. Her high level may make her slightly hard to get out though, but she seems quite strong. A really polarized card though; I can't imagine it being fun fighting against her with a lvl 3 rush... 7.5/10

Two teenagers and a 12-year-old girl have been charged in the shooting death of a Durham man during a carjacking.
Investigators say the three approached 35-year-old Johnny Danilo Villatoro on Friday night and asked him for a ride before carjacking and shooting him. Authorities found Villatoro lying in the street, and he later died at a hospital.
Police say the 12-year-old suspect accidentally shot herself in the stomach and leg while inside Villatoro's car. She was being treated for non-life-threatening injuries and was expected to survive.
The 12-year-old and two teens, ages 14 and 16, are being charged with murder. It wasn't known if any of them had attorneys or when they would appear in court.

Leaders of Denver's African-American community will hold a demonstration to protest the acquittal of George Zimmerman, the Florida man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, Sunday.
"This is a situation where our community doesn't want to sit quiet and be still in the face of this situation," said Brother Jeff Fard, founder of Brother Jeff's Cultural Center in the Five Points neighborhood.
A jury on Saturday found the former neighborhood watch leader not guilty of second-degree murder or manslaughter.
Zimmerman, said he shot in self-defense after the unarmed Martin, 17, attacked him.
"We are not privy to everything the jury discussed but in our gut we know had the situation been reversed and Trayvon killed Zimmerman, he would not have been treated the same as Zimmerman. I am pretty sure he would have been convicted by now," said Fard.
The acquittal has sparked protest in other cities throughout the country. The demonstration, held to show support for Martin's family, will be held in City Park at 2 p.m., Fard said.
"I don't advocate any sorts of violence but I do think there are some things that can be done. There will be a civil suit. The Colorado community can come together to raise funds to ease the financial burden on the family."

DENVER (AP) -- The presidential campaigns in Colorado are stepping up their efforts to repeat national talking points using in-state politicians.
The Mitt Romney campaign planned an event Wednesday with prominent Colorado Republicans, criticizing President Barack Obama's economic policies.
Former congressman Bob Beauprez and former Sen. Hank Brown planned a press conference outside the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, where Obama signed the stimulus law in 2009.
A few hours after the Romney event, the Obama campaign planned an event in Brighton. State Sen. Mary Hodge was planning to be on hand for the opening of a campaign office and to argue Romney favors the rich over the middle class.
Both events echo themes being promoted by the national campaigns. Colorado's nine electoral votes could prove crucial in a close contest.

Can someone give me a realistic reason, or number of reasons, why some of you think the Saints will win this game? Did you just see the 49ers offense, with a back-up quarterback, torch the Bears defense? Is it just the homer coming out in some? What's up with all the newly found optimism? Prediction: 49ers 37 Saints 20.
Realistic Reason 4: Mark Ingram is the tits
Can someone give me a realistic reason, or number of reasons, why some of you think the Saints will win this game?
The rams took them to OT.
quote:Yes, and some are homers.
We are die hard saints fans
quote:Yes, and he's an NFL great.
We have Drew Brees
quote:You're going up against one of the best rush defenses in the NFL.
Our running game is on fire
quote:Alas, remember the homer thing I was talking about?
Our offense is a record shattering, unstoppable, bewildering force that cannot be reckoned with
quote:I'm fully aware.
You are on a Saints Board
It is in the Dome
quote:Meh, can't disagree there. So are the 49ers.
We are on a hot streak
quote:OK, that made me laugh. There was nowhere to go but up...a little bit.
Our defense has stepped up big lately
quote:The Saints defense is also much, much, much, much worse than the Bears defense.
The Saints offense > The Bears offense
Did i mention you are on a board for Saints fans?
quote:Image: http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Shaq-points-laughs-and-leaves-press-conference.gif
Realistic Reason 4: Mark Ingram is the tits
quote:In this game, no... In every game for the rest of the season, yes. In fact, I'm really looking forward to the Saints vs Giants game. I'm really hoping for a shoot-out.
Believe me I know the 49ers are a very good team, but do you really give the Saints no chance?
Alas, remember the homer thing I was talking about?
I did laugh though, I'm sure that was your intention.
OK, that made me laugh. There was nowhere to go but up...a little bit.
Their offense is good, your defense is bad. Your offense is good, their defense is great. I just don't see the Saints winning.
quote:It has been in years past. That doesn't mean it is this year.
So you dont think our offense is a record setting beast?
quote:Oh, well, homer...and all that other jazz.
consistent goal line stands, opponents ppg dropping, big plays when it counts. I wasnt joking. At all.
quote:How can the Saints offense be great when they're ranked 26th in rushing offense? Of course they have a great passing attack. That still doesn't translate to a great offense.
you think their offense is on the same level as our offense? You honestly dont think we have a great offense? seriously?
quote:That seems to be the opinion of many for some reason.
I honestly think we have a good chance of beating them.
If I'm wrong, I'll eat crow. If I'm not, there will be nothing else said about it.

This UConn RB is good. He scored twice in the 4th quarter but both got called back because of holding.
Why the hell would they measure there? The OT starts on the 25, if the ball is sitting on the 15 yard line (which it was), that's a first down.
UConn inside the 5 yard line now, first and goal to go.
******* game over!!! Hellz yeah!!
UConn wins!!!
Ahahaha UConn downs Notre Dumb
Too bad so sad Charlie
Cya later Charlie Weis.
Goodnight Charlie.

Milica Bellic (Serbian: Милица Белић) is the mother of two sons, Niko Bellic and his deceased brother, Josef Bellic and the aunt of Roman Bellic. She is not seen in the game, however a few e-mails are sent to Niko's email inbox during the course of the Grand Theft Auto IV storyline. In her emails, she mentions that she feels guilty that Niko was corrupted by the environment that he grew up in.
Towards the end of the storyline, Milica sends an e-mail to Niko confirming Roman's marriage, happy that Roman is "settling down." Milica loves her son, and likes to know that he is safe.
- In Serbia, the name Milica is the most popular among females.
- She speaks to her son in Serbian "Nadam se da si dobro i da si srecan u Americi." which translates as "I hope you are well and are happy in America."
- Milica's e-mail address is <firstname.lastname@example.com>.
- If you select to negatively reply to her e-mails, the answer will be the same as if you had chosen to positively reply to her.
