"A Picturesque Oasis" Huacachina by Rickman77
Huacachina Travel Guide: 51 reviews and 119 photos
Huacachina was a nice little town to spend a few days in. The Oasis here is beautiful and defintely a sight to see after seeing nothing but desert and ugly cities for the week or so previous.
The S/50 (50 Soles = $16) note has a picture of the Oasis on the back of it so apparently it is one of the nations beautiful treasures.
Sitting by the pool, sunning, reading and relaxing was nice. I wasn't quite in the mood for such a laid back destination just yet though. The real highlight of Huacachina was the dunebuggy tour.
We set out 2 hours before sunset into the dunes with our sandboards. The dunes are giant and picture perfect, just like the ones you have always seen in the movies. We started out with a quick but exciting ride to our first mini dune for sandboarding. Followed by a ride to a bigger dune, and yet a bigger dune still, until we were finally boarding down mountains of sand.
The sandboarding was exciting, mainly because the boards aren't that easy to control and even harder to stop. Half the fun was watching people build up speed and then bust, tumbling down the dune.
The real adventure was the dunebuggy though. We tore through the desert in an 8 man dunebuggy at crazy speeds. Wheels spinning underneath trying to get traction, skidding stops, up 60 degree slopes and down 70 degree ones. It was like an action packed roller coaster for 5 to 10 minutes at a time. Indeed it was much better (and surely more dangerous) than any roller coaster I have ever been on. I was whooping and yelling with excitement the whole time while several of the girls on the tour were screaming with terror. This has defintely been some of the best two hours of my trip so far!
To finish off the tour we stopped and took pictures then drove off into the sunset and back to the Oasis.
Check the travelogue below for pictures.
- Pros:Nothing to do but relax...and sandboard
- Cons:Nothing to do but relax
- In a nutshell:It´s like being at the beach in the middle of the desert

If you go to Huacachina definetly do the dune buggy tour. Several hostels offer them and they are all about the same.... more travel advice
This is a fairly average hostel as far as bathrooms and bedrooms are concerned. The real reason everyone comes here... more travel advice

A fire at the Kenton County Administration Building is causing problems for people who want to buy and sell homes.
The electrical fire destroyed the main line that supplies power to the building.
Officials said the offices on Court Street in Covington will remain closed until at least early next week.
That means title companies can't access their website to process deed and plat requests and do title exams.

Channing Meyer still a big part of Norman North's offense
NORMAN — Norman North's Peyton Gavras and Channing Meyer shrug off talk of the quarterback battle that went down to just before the season started.
"We read about it all the time," Meyer said. "But it's not as big of a deal to us. Peyton won and yeah, he's starting, but it never really crossed my mind like that.
"I play football, he plays football and we're better for how it's turned out."
Gavras is Norman North's starting QB, but both have played big roles in the team's 5-1 start.
Meyer primarily plays receiver now for Norman North, but also sees time at quarterback in virtually every game and has recently started playing some running back as well.
Meyer's versatility has given the offense an added dimension.
"It puts a lot of pressure on the defense," Meyer said. "When you've got to prepare for three or four quarterbacks, it's that much harder for them to get ready for everything we do."
Three or four?
The Timberwolves have also started using some defensive players in a Wildcat package, including linebacker Jordan Evans, one of the top defensive recruits in the state for the 2013 class.
Gavras said the way Meyer has handled the situation, throughout their competition for the spot and with the way he's been used, has helped immensely.
"He's done a phenomenal job of handling it," Gavras said. "He's got to know everything on the offense, from everything the quarterback has to know to the routes at receiver and now the blocking schemes at running back, and he's done a great job with it.
"I knew he was in a rough position doing a bit of everything, but he's handled it really well."
Gavras is happy to be healthy this late in the season after a concussion cut his season short early last year.
"This season has been a lot of fun so far," Gavras said. "I don't want to lose a season like that again. It really hurt. You might look fine on the outside, but on the inside, you're not yourself.
"I'm back to having fun out there."
Gavras has thrown for 1,070 yards, 12 touchdowns and three interceptions so far. Meyer has run for a touchdown, caught a touchdown pass and thrown for two as he's moved from role to role.
Norman North faces a critical test Thursday when it hosts undefeated Edmond North.
The Timberwolves, especially on offense, look at the game as a bit of a second chance after they fell to Westmoore 29-16 on Sept. 13.
"They're pretty comparable to Westmoore with how good their defense is and what they try to do defensively," Meyer said. "I'd say this one is for the district championship."
The pair are the only two teams undefeated in District 6A-3 play, with Putnam City North and Moore each a game back.

Saying hey from Columbia, SC. I'm brand new to the forums.
Currently on the hunt for my first road bike and am getting pretty heavy into bike repair and restoration. Since I'm on a budget, I'm starting off by salvaging cheap bikes from the dump and thrift stores and making them rideable for as cheap as possible.

Director Rohit Shetty and actor Ajay Devgn became partners in crime on the sets of forthcoming movie "Singham Returns" when the duo decided to scare the crew members.
When they were on the sets of "Singham returns" in Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, Ajay and Shetty played a prank.
They planned the entire prank in advance and took a spot boy under their confidence. The prankster duo made the spot boy wear white clothes and told the crew members that the set was haunted and that there was a ghost on the sets, as it was a night shoot and quite deserted.
"Ajay sir and Rohit sir have been constant pranksters on sets. Once, they baffled and scared all of us by dressing up a spot boy in white clothes and making him behave like a ghost," said a source from the movie's production team.
"Also, they always tried to scare us by telling stories of the ghosts in our hotel room," the source added.
"Singham Returns", which also stars Kareena Kapoor, will release Aug 15. It is co-produced by Ajay Devgn Ffilms, Rohit Shetty Productions and Reliance Entertainment.

the most frequently cited individual-focused response describes how SenseMaker promoted more thinking about the topic in general terms. One student described this by saying:
Making your own [SenseMaker] is a hands-on experience and gives you a chance to really think about your opinion.
Beyond talk of it supporting general thinking, 11% of the students described how they learned from constructing their SenseMaker argument in specific terms. One student reflected on the process of categorizing evidence into frames:
You put a lot of thought into what fits in what category, and you need to analyze the evidence yourself before you create frames. So, I find that I learn more because I see all how one piece of evidence may fit in w/ two or more categories.
The final prominent response category that was individual-focused describes how SenseMaker allows individuals to express their own ideas:
I felt that I learned more creating my own because I put my past experience and knowledge into it. I know the author was a creditable [sic] source.
Note the difference between this last quote which stresses building off of one's prior knowledge compared to the student who talked about not being able to "learn anything from your own work." It is clear that students have very different preferences for their own learning and they most likely make use of SenseMaker in very different ways. It affords both individual and collaborative uses. These self-reports need to be corroborated with students' actual uses during the debate project, but we are encouraged by students' perceived uses for the SenseMaker software. The students' self-reports reflect many of the original design goals for the software.
Middle school students are capable of creating arguments with the SenseMaker software that are quite complex, personally relevant, and scientific. This paper describes how argument representations can make student thinking visible. Specific individual and collaborative uses of the SenseMaker argument representation are afforded by its design. At an individual level, features of the interface (e.g., evidence being placed within claim frames) allows for student self-expression of ideas and can promote individual reflection on prior knowledge. Student arguments also connect to their individual epistemological beliefs about the nature of science. At a collaborative level, SenseMaker representations can make student thinking visible during collaboration with peers and teachers. It was common for students to accept SenseMaker representations as an account of how other groups were thinking about the debate topic and evidence. Collaborative work around the argument representations can help students expand their repertoire of models and help them discriminate between these different perspectives.
There is also a balance to be struck between supporting individual- and collaboration-focused learning opportunities with software and curriculum. There were almost equal numbers of students who preferred using SenseMaker indi-

I was woken up at 5:30am to the sounds of an animal rustling through plastic bags outside my tent. A raccoon got into my trailer bag and got my oatmeal and snickers bar. I went back inside my tent and had to scare it off once more before finally getting back to sleep. I woke up at 8am and fixed some oatmeal, two packets I had recovered from the pesky raccoon, opened but still intact. I tossed in some sliced banana and a small spoon of dark chocolate and ate it up. I bailed out on paying the $4 fee for camping last night. I figured the visit from the raccoon was payback. I left the park after packing up and had a 3-mile incline over Cape Lookout. It was pretty tough but I was rewarded with a nice downhill. I sped down the other side, trying to avoid newts and slugs on the shoulder. I passed through the small towns of Sandlake and Tierra del Mar before riding into Pacific City where it was raining. I figured this would be a good time to stop and get some breakfast. I mailed off some letters and realized it was daylight savings last night and my watch was an hour ahead. I stopped in at a diner and got some breakfast and the rain stopped. I decided to skip out on a side trip to Cape Kiwanda State Park where there are some good photo opportunities at a place where the waves crash into steep clay cliffs. Maybe next time. So I continued on south and joined back with Highway 101, pleased that it wasnt raining on me. I came up on a junction in Hwy 101, a 10 mile side road called Old Hwy 101 that went inland on a more scenic route over the Cascade Head. Even though the weather looked like it could rain any time, I decided on the more scenic route. I rode through a rural area with a few nice country houses and then entered a National Forest. The scenery was amazing. Tall moss covered trees towered above on each side of the windy road. For the first 6 miles it was a gradual uphill and I got to take a good look around at the slow pace. The last 4 miles was a fun and speedy descent back to Hwy 18 through a small town called Otis and eventually back to Hwy 101. I rode into Lincoln City and found the library. The idea was to find out if my friend Jon had given me the Ok to swing by his place in Newport. There was no email from Jon. After the library, I gave him a call and left a message on his machine telling him I was coming in. I also gave into my weakness for the whopper and made a pit stop to Burger King before leaving Lincoln City. I was chased out of town by an old man on a Trek who was kicking my ass on the uphills and had passed me once. I couldnt let this old dude pass me by so I took the lead and kept it. I was impressed by how he stayed close behind and eventually caught up again. We had a short conversation until I ran into two friends from work on the side of the road, Alan and Jen, who had seen me cycling and stopped. They informed me that Jon was in Seattle. Oh no! But they said I was welcome to crash out at their empty place in Newport that they havent moved into yet. They gave me directions and the name of the landlord, Mark, to get a hold of when I arrived. I said goodbye and headed down the road to my next stop, Boiler Bay. There was a nice lookout area and it seemed like a good place to take a break. I took a few photos and ate the rest of my Tillamook cheese curds while I enjoyed the view. I pushed on and rode through Depoe Bay, known as a prime location for whale watching. After Depoe Bay, I took a side road off the main highway called Otter Crest Loop. This was a nice route because it was right on the water and was restricted to pedestrians and cyclists. I also seemed to avoid any steep inclines that I might have encountered on the main road although this route wasnt exactly flat. After the scenic Otter Crest Loop, which enabled me to occasionally peer down at the waves crashing on the rocks, I had a long straight ride on 101 into Newport in the dark. I rode into the Tyee B&B on Agate Beach to meet Mark and find out where Id be crashing. He showed me Jen and Alans place and made me feel at home even though the place was totally bare. Mark was very nice and invited me to breakfast with his other B&B guests. I unpacked my tent to let it dry out a bit and then took a nice hot bath to wash away 3 days of cyclist funk. After my bath, I walked up to Izzys, a buffet style restaurant where I got my fill of country cooking and pizza. I caught up with my writing and took my time. I was in no rush. A very cute waitress, Sandi, was serving me. I drank way too much soda trying to keep her coming back to my table to refill them. After my dinner, I walked back to the house and got comfortable and looked through my maps, Servas book, and Pacific Coast cycling book for a bit before crashing for a good nights sleep. (69 miles)

"Two weeks in Paradise" Thailand by lindyz
Thailand Travel Guide: 32,055 reviews and 82,662 photos
Wednesday 2nd April, 2008
Come fly with me, lets fly, lets fly away ... to Thailand.
My daughter Georgia and I were off on an adventure, travelling also with my friend, her hubby and their 2 kids. Georgia had never been out of Australia, so it was a really BIG adventure for her. For various reasons, my hubby and two teenage sons stayed home.
We flew Thai airways (highly recommended) to Bangkok, then changed planes and flew to Phuket, staying 10 nites at the Patong Merlin. We chose the Merlin for the pool area for the kids and because its very central. The rooms at the Merlin were quite small and old but they were adequate. The included breakfast daily was great and the pool area (3 large pools) was fantastic. Would highly recommend the Merlin for families and value.
Of course, we did lots of shopping here - at Otop markets, beach road shops, and Jungceylon Mall.
We also did a few day trips. Highlights were our day trip to Phi Phi Island, our Elephant Safari and our trip to Phuket Fantasea.
Phi Phi Island
I managed to bargain the tour price down from about $100AUD per adult to $42AUD per adult and $30AUD per child, so was quite pleased with that. Trip included pickup, boat to Phi Phi, snorkelling, lunch and snacks. It was a full day from 8am to 4.30pm and very much worth it.
Elephant safari
Did this at Siam Safari - cost bargained down to $35AUD per adult and $28AUD per child. much cheaper than our Hotel price and much much cheaper than price in brochures here in Australia. It was the highlight of my daughters trip and a lot of fun.
This place you will either love or hate - its pretty full-on theme-park style of place, but I think its worth it. Price once again bargained down to $57AUD each per adult or child/no buffet dinner included.
The massages and treatments in Patong are amazing! The best and cheapest ones were on the main beach - only $10AUD for a one hour massage - pure heaven!
The food was also amazing. Best place we found (we ate there many times) was the Banana Leaf on the back road near Merlin. Meal and drinks about $5AUD each - it was scrumptious!
My last nite in Patong I spent by myself sitting at the beach, just people-watching and watching the sunset - it was beautiful. The photo on my title thing is the Patong sunset - I did NOT want to leave.
Bangkok - what can I say - you either love this place or you hate it. I just loved it, while the other 5 of us hated it. Our main aim here was to SHOP SHOP SHOP! And we did that, every day, mainly at the MBK Centre, which was a 10 minute walk from our Hotel, the Novotel on Siam Square. We managed to visit the MBK each and every day we were in Bangkok, and each time we found new levels, new areas, new shops and new bargains to be had!
My friend and I also went to the weekend markets at Chatachuk on Songkran Day - WOW that was a funny day. We got absolutely plastered with water, which was nice as it was soooooo hot.
My daughter and I had planned to do the Grand Palace tour but ended up not fitting it in. I feel I have only just scratched the surface of things to do and see in Bangkok, and I will be back there one day.
- In a nutshell:Relax or run wild in Tropical Paradise

Hi Lindy, - Very nice pages and tips. Brought me back to Phi Phi, Bangkok and Phuket....Great photo of Maya Bay too......Cheers....Erik
You are so fortunate to be able to go to Thailand. It looks absolutely beautiful there. It's quite a distance from our side of the world. Love the idea of recycling your clothes. Nice page Lindy. Lori
wonderful Thailand pages -- you pat an elephant and then the eagle --- awesome experiences...Norman :)
Haven't been to BKK for yrs, but used to fly THAI a lotin 70s-great airline! seems u had a great trip! My first elephant ride was bareback in Lanka; have you seen my photos of video of the PERAHERA there? Maybe u want to meet me there one year?
Just back from Phuket - had to come look here again, we had a great time.
Yes MBK is great place to shop, Kim she love shopping and I love eating at MBK.
Lindy, please, please, don't have your photo taken with wildlife. Those guys destroy nests and kill birds, as do guys with Gibbons. They kill several animals in the capture. They won't do it if there isn't any money in it. The wildlife is being destroyed.

Lithwick, Dahlia, Newsweek
We are witnessing either a burgeoning new trend for executing rapists--or the last gasps of capital punishment.
This week, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case about whether--for the first time in decades--a criminal can be executed for a crime that isn't murder. Patrick Kennedy was convicted in 2004 for the rape of a child, his 8-year-old stepdaughter, and the state of Louisiana contends that his crime is tantamount to murder and worthy of death. Nobody in this country has actually been executed for anything other than murder since 1964, although five states, including Louisiana, have laws on their books permitting capital punishment for the rape of young children. Several others are considering broadening their laws to do the same. So the court must determine, in Kennedy v. Louisiana, whether the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment bars the execution of someone who didn't commit a murder, but did violate a young child.
Capital punishment in America has been in a slow decline for years, with "slow" being the key word. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, which compiles national statistics on capital punishment, the number of executions has dropped steadily since 1998, hitting a 10-year low of 53 in 2006. Confidence in the death penalty has also dipped slightly: a Gallup poll taken in 2006 showed that while two thirds of Americans endorsed capital punishment for murderers, given the choice between the death penalty and a life sentence without parole, slightly more preferred life in prison, for the first time in decades. This dip has been attributed to a number of factors: the reported 127 death-row exonerations now logged by the DPIC, books by the likes of John Grisham and pervasive evidence that racism still taints the capital-sentencing system. Still, public opinion remains in favor of the death penalty, at least for murder.
All the statistics, polls and trends I've just cited would be utterly irrelevant to any legal discussion of whether a child rapist can be executed were it not for the odd constitutional test that weighs "cruel and unusual" punishment against "evolving standards of decency." This is an exercise in molar-grinding frustration for members of the Supreme Court devoted to adhering to the Constitution's original text. When the court ended the death penalty for mentally disabled offenders in 2002 and for those who were minors at the time of their crimes in 2005, it did so via an elaborate interpretive dance that required putting one finger on the pulse of foreign courts and the other into the wind of U.S. public opinion. If you're not a fan of public hangings, the notion that standards of cruelty can "evolve" has its appeal. But the new fight over child rapists suggests that attempts to measure the shifting winds of public opinion often reveal more about who's doing the measuring than about what's being measured. …

Group of teens left to join jihadi groups in Syria, France interior minister says, suggesting that many expected to join
Associated Press
Published: 01.19.14, 22:36 / Israel News
Associated Press
Valls said French intelligence services have identified six adolescents who are trying to get to Syria. He noted the war to oust President Bashar Assad
has attracted more Westerners, from Europe and elsewhere, than other battlegrounds like Afghanistan ever did.
Related stories:
Valls said about 250 French are fighting in Syria, 150 have shown they want to, 99 are in transit and 76 have returned. He says there have been 21 French deaths in Syria.
Jihadi organizations in Syria have been recruiting young fighters from across the Arab world at an increasing pace as the fighting takes a toll on the rebel ranks.
From France to Yemen to Gaza, Muslim men in their late teens and early twenties have answered the call of rebel leaders and made their way to mountains and cities of Syria.
The rebel groups have turned to Facebook and other social media networks, posting videos
and campaign slogans to attract potential jihadis.
British, and French authorities have expressed alarm at the trend and are concerned that the young jihadis will return home radicalized.

Get To Know Your Library Staff - Robin
Hi, my name is Robin and I am the newest face in the Children's Department at the Main Library. I have been working here just over two months. I worked in an elementary school library before and taught preschool for many years so this job includes all the things I enjoy:  books and working with children. I have always loved reading and books since I can remember and always have a book I am reading.Â
I have 3 sons, all grown and on their own now, and I loved to read to and with them as they were growing up. We read together every day. We enjoyed books together so much they even named some of their pets after book characters. We had a dog named Ribsy just like in the Beverly Cleary books and a rat named Templeton like in Charlotte's Web. We traveled through history and on many adventures through the Little House books, the Narnia series, and many more.Â
I still love reading and it is my favorite pastime outside the library. I also love being outside, quilting and embroidery. The most exciting thing now is that my oldest son and his wife are expecting our first grandchild this fall and we are anxiously waiting for her to be born. Can you guess what I am buying for her? If you guessed books you are right. She already has a library of her own and she won't be born until October. Come by the desk and share with me your favorite book so I might include it in my granddaughter's library.

The National Violence Prevention Network
is a broad coalition dedicated to building awareness for
the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) and
expanding the NVDRS to all 50 states, U.S. territories
and the District of Columbia.
Currently, NVDRS operates in 32 states. Seven additional
states, plus the District of Columbia, have been approved
for participation in NVDRS, but have not been funded:
Alabama, California, Louisiana, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas and
West Virginia.
Many additional states and Puerto Rico continue to express
interest in joining NVDRS.
Two-thirds of the country still lacks NVDRS
coverage, leaving all but 18 states without the ability to
learn about trends in their state and share vital data that
provides a clear direction for violence prevention policies.
NVDRS operates in 32 states:

Manager Steve O'Neil was determined to get the team off to a good start in 1953, and he did just that; at the end of April, after 14 games, they led the league with a 9-4 record, thanks to a three-game home sweep of the Dodgers. O'Neil liked Connie Ryan leading off, and new firstbaseman Earl Torgeson, obtained in a trade with Boston, hitting fifth behind Del Ennis, helped. The Phillies fought hard, and entering June were still in range, only 3 ½ games behind the classy Dodgers, but it couldn't last, the Dodgers were just too good. By the end of August, the Dodgers were 50 games over .500 at 90-40 and cruised home with 105 wins and a 13-game lead over the second place Milwaukee Braves. The Phillies, at 83-71, were in a third place tie with St. Louis. O'Neil put Jim Konstanty into the starting rotation for 19 games where he was 14-10; he had five saves. Robin Roberts was 23-16 with five shutouts.
Milwaukee? Where did that come from?
March 18 was the day that the Boston Braves officially became the Milwaukee Braves. It was the first franchise shift in baseball since the 1903 move of Baltimore to New York. The Braves brought a very good team to their new town, with sluggers Joe Adcock, and Eddie Mathews, to say nothing of top flight pitchers, Warren Spahn, Lew Burdette, and Johnny Antonelli. But the boys from Brooklyn were just too good.
Steve O'Neil and the Phillies made news in late June when they brought up 19-year old phenom Ted Kazanski to play shortstop. In 1951 they had given the 17-year-old kid a $100,000 bonus to sign, and after two years in the minors, he was to get a shot playing with the big boys. On June 25th in Chicago, Kazanski was in the lineup in the leadoff spot. In his first major league at bat he struck out, but after that he was spectacular with three hits and four RBIs in a 13-2 Phillies win. But disappointment was endemic to Phillies baseball through most of the 20th century, and Kazanski did not disappoint the nay sayers; he was a .217 hitter and it didn't take Steve O'Neil long to see it – about a week. When the pitching got better, Kazanski was dropped to his natural spot in the batting order, 8th, just ahead of the pitcher.

At ASU In-plant, 'It's About the Students'
Arizona State University Print & Imaging Lab staff includes (from left) David Bradford, Hilary Watson, Cathy Skoglund, Gabby Tikhonova, Hannah Minkner, Jan Janiczek and Chris Myers.
Gabby Tikhonova takes sheets out of the HP Indigo 5500.
Student worker Yulia Tikhonova runs the HP Indigo 5500.
Two visiting students learn about pixels and registration at the lab.
Student workers are a common sight at higher-ed in-plants, but they're usually something of an afterthought—a source of cheap labor. It's rare to find an in-plant where 79 percent of the employees are students.
That's the scenario at the Arizona State University Print & Imaging Lab, though, where students outnumber full-time employees 11-3. What's more, the Mesa-based in-plant exists predominantly as an academic enterprise within ASU's College of Technology and Innovation—even as it pumps out a huge quantity of printing for the university's four campuses.
"We are an educational laboratory," explains Cathy Skoglund, manager of operations and business development, who was hired six years ago to expand the shop's educational focus and modernize its processes. In addition to giving student workers hands-on experience, the lab hosts tours for graphic arts students from ASU and high school groups. Skoglund credits this educational focus with keeping the in-plant in business.
"If [this] wasn't an educational environment, [it] would have been long gone, replaced with outsourced printing," she remarks. "But because it's about the students and we're providing education to students, it has secured my in-plant."
Those students are in ASU's Graphic Information Technology program. In the Print & Imaging Lab, they have access to a range of graphic arts equipment, such as a new seven-color HP Indigo 5500 digital color press, a two-color Heidelberg QuickMaster 42, a Halm envelope press, two HP Designjet wide-format printers and the Bitstream Pageflex iWay online ordering system.
Great Hands-on Experience
Students work about 20 hours a week in the in-plant, located in a 6,500-square-foot facility in the Technology Center on ASU's Polytechnic Campus. The hands-on experience they get, Skoglund says, all but guarantees them jobs when they graduate.
"It's exciting to see the students that come in here, and when they graduate, once they get out into the workforce, they're just absolutely amazed at how much they know," she says. "They had no idea how much they were actually getting out of working here."

Microsoft says next Windows won't be as annoying
LOS ANGELES The next version of Microsoft Windows, the software that defines the computing experience for most people, will nag users much less than its much-maligned predecessor, Vista. PC users will be able to test the new edition early next year.
The world's largest software maker also is making Word, Excel and other key elements of Office _ its flagship "productivity" programs _ able to run in a Web browser. The move is meant to help confront rivals such as Google Inc. that offer free word processing and spreadsheet programs online, threatening one of Microsoft Corp.'s most precious profit centers.
The Windows and Office news came Tuesday at a Microsoft conference for software developers.
The forthcoming Windows 7 will let users choose to see fewer alerts and warnings from their computers. Rampant notifications alerting people to security risks irked many Vista users.
"We had all the best intentions of helping to secure the PC platform even more, particularly for novice PC users who needed to be protected," said Steven Sinofsky, a senior vice president in Microsoft's Windows group. But Sinofsky acknowledged that Microsoft needed to work more closely with outside companies to avoid a similar mess this time.
Michael Silver, an analyst for Gartner Inc., said a smoother debut for Windows 7 is critical for Microsoft.
"The real hurdle is to get Vista's reputation behind them," he said.
Windows 7 keeps some of the significant design changes that debuted in Vista, but tosses out others.
In an interview, Julie Larson-Green, a Windows vice president, offered one small example: In Vista, Microsoft took the "add printer" feature out of the Start menu, but is restoring it in Windows 7 after users complained.
Larson-Green said some changes in Vista made sense to developers but weren't fully tested on actual PC users _ a misstep she seems committed not to repeat.
With Windows 7, Microsoft is also making subtle but useful changes to the task bar along the bottom of the screen. The designers have removed redundant buttons that launch applications. When users roll over a program's icon in the task bar, it will be easier to see how many documents are open, and switch between them.
Microsoft also showed off "jumplists," a quick way of organizing recently used files or popular program features. And it introduced a concept called "libraries," which automatically collects similar files scattered across PCs on a home network and displays them together in a single folder. That could be handy for organizing a family's digital photos stored in disparate places.
Addressing another complaint about Vista, Microsoft said Windows 7 will be faster and need less memory to run. Vista generally needs costlier hardware configurations than the older Windows XP.
Sinofsky held up a "netbook" _ a low-cost, low-power laptop that would have a hard time running Vista _ and said it's working with Windows 7.
Microsoft's early 2009 target for people to begin toying with Windows 7 is striking because the Redmond, Wash.-based company promised deadlines it couldn't keep when it was developing Vista. Microsoft is trying hard to avoid a similar debacle this time. Sinofsky said there is no date yet for the next milestone, a "release to manufacturing" version of Windows 7, but reiterated that the system is set to go on sale in early 2010.
Silver, the analyst, noted that Windows Vista rejigged complex aspects of the software's plumbing, while Windows 7 is largely a cosmetic overhaul. That might spare this launch from many of the compatibility programs that dogged Vista.
Silver was impressed by how Windows 7 handles home networking with fewer headaches than Vista or XP. A big improvement on that front could help keep customers who consider ditching Windows, swayed by Apple Inc.'s claims that such tasks are easier on a Mac.

I have a 2003 Murano SL with 65,000 miles. I replaced the original tires with Michelins. I need to replace tires again, but I want to find which tires will give my car the smoothest quietest ride? It is not an AWD. I just want a smooth ride like it used to be.

CALIFORNIA Some weeks since we pub- lished a despatch to the effect that the Government expected to receive stand of arms from California, and were at a loss to conceive how so many could bo spared from or have gone to the Pacific coast. It seems that the Cali- forniaris were equally astonished on dis- covering how rich they vrerc, as will bo seen by the following from tho Los An- gelos Seventy thousand stand of arras wore sent here by Floyd, and so secretly con- veyed to the Benicia arsenal, thatnoono not especially entrusted with the infor- mation knew of their arrival. Even af- ter the arms had boon stored in the arse- nal for months, the Legislature made a requisition on the General Government for materials of war, which requisition was actually complied with, and tho arms solicited were promptly furnished. This shows that tho Administration itself was not avrarc of the. bountiful man- ner in which Floyd had supplied tho State with muskets and rifles- The amis wore sent here, without a doubt, in ex- pectation of their being seized by the se- cessionists. Had the plan succeeded, California would have been in a state of revolution to-day. In the programme of the rebellion arranged at Richmond, attempt was to be made either to unite California with the South or form a dis- tinct Confederacy of the Pacific Statei. A canvass of the popular feeling demon- strated the impossibility of effecting cither of these schemes of treason, or even seising and retaining the arms for the' use of the South. Discovered by tho department, of them were return- ed to the Atlantic Status, and the re- mainder conveyed to Alcatraz, where such of them as are not ia use are saf-jly stored.

Chace Crawford Is Just Plain Old 'Johnny Everyday'
Aw, shucks.
Alpha cougar Cindy Adams got her claws into Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford the other night and told him she'd heard he was a hottie. "Oh, please," he grinned self-effacingly, "It's sort of fun when people say those nice things about me, but I'm not thinking I'm anybody so special. And I can't say I actually stopped the world when I was in school. I mean, I didn't have a really hard time getting girls. It's not that I was ever a dork or anything like that. It's more that I was into sports. For me, when I was younger, it was sports. I'd say I was just plain Mr. Johnny Everyday in school. I think I'm just a late bloomer." [NYP]

Oklahoma City man's body recovered from Lake Eufaula
EUFAULA — An Oklahoma City man's body was found Saturday evening after a hit-and-run boat collision July 4 on Lake Eufaula, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol reported.
The body of Gary McInnich, 55, was found about 7 p.m. Saturday in 17 feet of water about a mile east of Eufaula Cove, troopers said. He had been missing since the accident about 10:10 p.m. Thursday, troopers said.
A white and dark color ski boat was traveling about 30 mph and struck two boats that were anchored about 400 yards north of Sherwood Point. The anchored boats were displaying proper lighting, but the ski boat struck the bow of one boat, went airborne and landed on the second boat.
The ski boat then left the scene, troopers said.
There were 13 people on the two boats and one person swimming nearby. Most were not injured, troopers said.
