Is it normal to use
Technology in its singular form cannot be abbreviated to techs. But if there are clearly more than one technology in use, techs would certainly be OK. Yet most would use or understand techs as an abbreviation of technicians.
An alternative would be to abbreviate technology with tex.

Three months after losing to the Seattle Seahawks in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs, the New Orleans Saints are back to work.
At least in some capacity.
Monday marked the first day the team was allowed to hold voluntary offseason workouts. Before Monday, players worked out on their own.
"Great 1st day of work today! #WhoDat," left tackle Terron Armstead said via his Twitter account.
The team was limited in what it could do in what's considered "Phase One" of organized team activities.
Felt good to be back at the office with my teammates today...the grind starts now!! #WhoDat #Saints-- Pierre Thomas (@Pierre_Thomas) April 21, 2014
According to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, these workouts are voluntary and may consist of strength and conditioning work only.
The CBA states:
"During Phase One, only full-time or part-time strength and conditioning coaches, who have no other coaching responsibilities with the Club, shall be allowed on the field; no other coaches shall be allowed on the field or to otherwise participate in or observe activities. No footballs shall be permitted to be used (only "dead ball" activities), except that quarterbacks may elect to throw to receivers provided they are not covered by any other player. Players cannot wear helmets during Phase One."
This stage of offseason training will run for two weeks. The Saints will hold OTAs on May 27-29, June 3-5 and June 16-19. Mandatory minicamp will be held June 10-12.
Limited work or not, several Saints took to their official Twitter accounts to express their excitement at seeing their teammates again.
"Felt good to be back with the fellas for workouts clowning talking ish and working at the same time this year bout to be special," tweeted safety Rafael Bush.
According to their Twitter accounts, linebacker Curtis Lofton, Bush, Armstead, outside linebacker Junior Galette, punter Thomas Morstead, wide receiver Nick Toon, running back Pierre Thomas, defensive end Glenn Foster, tight end Benjamin Watson and cornerback Derrius Brooks were in attendance.
Great first day of workouts today. 1 more day closer to the season. Can't wait! #WhoDat-- Nick Toon (@Nick2oon) April 21, 2014
New safety Jairus Byrd arrived in New Orleans last week prior to the official start of offseason workouts. While he wasn't confirmed to be in attendance on Monday, he told reporters last week that he had met with teammates Kenny Vaccaro and Keenan Lewis, who were also working out and rehabbing in New Orleans, and was looking forward to meeting the rest of his teammates.
"What you put in, is what you will get out! Great 1st day of work, with the fellows. #grinding #whodat #letsgetachampionship," Lofton tweeted.
Saints defensive end Cam Jordan, whose fifth-year option was picked up by the Saints Monday, was not in attendance due to car problems, according to his Twitter account.
"Shoulda been workin out this mornin but I come down and jus had to deal wit this...Guess day one workouts r on my own," Jordan wrote above a picture of his car, which had a broken window. "Starting to think it's time to move..."
He added "move but stay in New Orleans!! Lol" Not leavin #WhoDat territory anytime soon."
Saints tight end Jimmy Graham is currently under the franchise tag and it is considered unlikely that he participates as the two sides work toward a long-term deal. Graham is considered a player not under contract until he signs his franchise tender or a new contract. He has done neither as of Monday.
The Saints have until July 15 to work out a long-term deal with Graham.
Saints coach Sean Payton said at the NFL owners' meetings that the team is prepared to give more practice reps to tight ends Watson and Josh Hill if Graham sits out offseason training.

Celebrate Agriculture Week!
March 27, 2014
By Norma Dittman
Minnesota State Governor, Mark Dayton, declared Sunday, March 23rd through Saturday, March 29th, as Minnesota Agriculture Week. National Agriculture Day this year was set for Tuesday, March 25th.
In signing the Minnesota Proclamation, Gover Dayton said, "It's important to recognize the abundance of food, fiber, and renewable resources provided by Minnesota farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses. Please join me in celebrating the hard working people who are producing the high quality and affordable products we enjoy and that are in demand around the world. All Minnesotans should be proud of our state's rich agricultural heritage and the vibrant industry that agriculture is today.""
There are many reasons why Minnesotans should celebrate Minnesota Agriculture Week, not least of which is the fact that Minnesota ranks fifth nationally in total agriculture production and fourth in agricultural exports. The Minnesota ag industry bring $75 billion dollars annually into the state economy. It also supports 340,000 jobs. If you ever shop in a grocery store, you are relating to the Minnesota agricultural industry.
Nationally, it is important that people are aware of the agricultural industry. The Agricultural Council of America (ACA) is an organization that is dedicated to raising awareness about the agricultural industry. The ACA and the National Ag Day was instituted in 1973.
The ACA believes that every American should:
•Understand how food and fiber products are produced.
•Appreciate the role agriculture plays in providing safe, abundant and affordable products.
•Value the essential role of agriculture in maintaining a strong economy.
• Acknowledge and consider career opportunities in the agriculture, food and fiber industry.
In honor of Minnesota Agriculture Week, the Minnesota Farmers Union shared the following facts about agriculture:
• on average, a farmer receives only 15.8 cents on every food dollar, the other costs come from distribution, retailing, processing, marketing, and wholesaling;
• every American farmer feeds about 144 people;
• a dairy cow produces 1,500 gallons, or 6,000 quarts of milk in a year;
• every year, each person in the United States uses the equivalent of one tree, 100 feet tall and 16 inches in diameter, for their wood and paper needs;
• Americans eat about 125 pounds of potatoes a year, half from fresh potatoes and half in processed foods;
• it only takes a combine 9 seconds to harvest enough wheat to make 70 loaves of bread;
• there are about 600 kernels on every ear of corn;
• one bushel of wheat will produce 73 one-pound loaves of bread;
• a pig can run a 7-minute mile; and
• one acre of soybeans can produce 82,368 crayons.

CLEVELAND – The Cavaliers couldn't beat the Denver Nuggets with LeBron James, so it was a given they wouldn't do it without him.
Nuggets superstar Carmelo Anthony had 33 points, seven rebounds and five assists Friday night, leading Denver to a 117-103 win over Cleveland at Quicken Loans Arena.
It was the Cavaliers' 19th straight loss, tying their franchise record for a season set in 1981-1982 and equaling the fifth-longest skid in NBA history – four games behind the mark shared by Vancouver and Denver.
"Of course, we're not playing to lose, nobody here is," said center J.J. Hickson, who paced Cleveland with 24 points, 14 rebounds and two blocked shots. "At some point, everybody in this locker room has won in the past.
"This is very frustrating because we've got to do a better job knowing what we're doing out there. Why we aren't, that's a question that I can't answer."
Anthony did a pretty good impression of fellow 2003 draftee James in powering the Nuggets (28-18) to their fifth season sweep of Cleveland (8-38) during his eight-year career.
The All-Star small forward relentlessly attacked the rim, allowing him to go 15-of-18 from the foul line and stake Denver to a 73-50 lead early in the third quarter.
At that point, the light bulb inexplicably went on for the Cavaliers, who cut their deficit to 93-83 by the end of the period.
Hickson, power forward Antawn Jamison (20 points, 12 rebounds, six assists), point guard Ramon Sessions (14 points, game-high 13 assists) and small forward Joey Graham (14 points, six rebounds) led the charge for the wine and gold, and awoke the non-sellout crowd of 19,642.
"I don't know of many NBA games that you keep a 20-point lead for the whole game, especially on the opposing team's court," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "Fortunately, we held on and made enough plays in the fourth quarter to win."
Actually, Cleveland made more than enough plays to lose in the fourth quarter. It pulled within six points on three occasions, only to self-destruct for the umpteenth time this disastrous winter.
Backup center Ryan Hollins committed back-to-back three-second violations with the Cavaliers trailing 97-91, Graham missed a pair of uncontested shots when they were down 99-93, and Hickson and Jamison combined to commit three straight fouls after the score was 101-95.
Denver point guards Ty Lawson (15 points, five assists) and Chauncey Billups (11 points, four assists) then put Cleveland to sleep by scoring 11 points in the final 4:21.
"I could care less about the record, as far as that's concerned," said Cavaliers coach Byron Scott, whose squad is 1-29 in its last 30 games. "This game is over and we'll get ready (for practice today)."
By losing 19 straight games, Cleveland also matched the ninth-longest overall streak in NBA history. The Cavaliers own that record with a 24-gamer that spanned the 1981-1982 and 1982-1983 seasons – and could reach that figure Feb. 5 at home against Portland.
"Give them credit, the Cavs continued to play with a lot of intensity," said Nuggets guard Arron Afflalo, who made four 3-pointers and scored 23 points. "I am going to give them a lot of credit for competing."
Daniel Gibson also reached double-figures for Cleveland with 15 points on 5-of-11 3-pointers, while Kenyon Martin had eight points and nine boards for Denver before fouling out.

It figures, union busting asshat Scott Walker, like most Republicans, wants to take voting rights away from others. But, has no problem letting his son register on the same day to vote:
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) may find same-day voter registration inefficient, but his son apparently finds it quite convenient.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Matt Walker, a freshman at Marquette University, went to vote in Wauwatosa for the presidential election and registered while at the polls. A witness at the polling place said the governor accompanied his son.
Wisconsin has had same-day registration since 1976. But at a recent speech in California, Walker said he would like to get rid of this law, citing the burden it placed on poll workers.
"States across the country that have same-day registration have real problems because the vast majority of their states have poll workers who are wonderful volunteers, who work 13-hour days and who in most cases are retirees," he said. "It's difficult for them to handle the volume of people who come at the last minute. It'd be much better if registration was done in advance of election day. It'd be easier for our clerks to handle that. All that needs to be done."
Poll workers and election clerks have disputed Walker's characterization of same-day registration, and on Wednesday, he walked back his remarks.
"This is a ridiculous issue. My priority is about jobs, creating jobs," he told reporters. He did not, however, specify whether he would still sign a repeal bill if it came to his desk from the GOP-controlled legislature.

Republicans, taking away rights for everyone –— except their families.

Thanks for the clarification. In addition to disagreeing with something while still finding it funny, I would use it to express that reaction to a pun that is apt,but is so "bad" that it's good--really I can't think of the word I need to express that meaning right now. It's morning on Sunday. I won't be lucid for another hour or so.

Arizona Head Coach Joan Bonvicini Quotes:
"The first half was one to forget, but the second half was one to remember and to build on."
"(In the second half) I liked our passion, I liked our intensity and I thought we were good defensively. But more than anything we were aggressive and our intensity and passion carried through the team."
"We were much more fired up (in the second half) and I am proud of the team. I'm not into any type of moral victories, but this was a game that we can build on and that will help our team because we definitely got better today."
"Kelsey (Burns) has been patient. She has worked through things and I could tell in practice this week that she had gotten her legs back. The last thing we want to do is put any pressure on her because when her shot is on; her three pointer is like a lay-up; she feels that confident."
"I thought that our players were getting each other open especially when we got Stanford into foul trouble early in the second half because our penetrations and kicks (were a lot better) and it was great to see."
"I thought Malia (O'Neal) had great leadership on the floor. She hit some threes and opened up the floor, while Joy (Hollingsworth) hit a few (threes) as well. We had four players in double figures and that was great to see."
"(At halftime) I was upset. I didn't like our energy or a lot of other things. I'm the coach and I think that I'm a pretty good motivator, but you have to do that within the team and within each other and that really stems from your guards. I really got on Ashley (Whisonant) pretty hard and she needs to mature and grow from this. But I thought Malia and Jessica Arnold did a great job."
Senior Forward Joy Hollingsworth
On catching up in the second half
"We were just trying to chip away at the lead, but not lose our focus. If we play like we did in the second half during the first half, then we can be a tough team to beat."
"At halftime, Coach Bonvicini fired us up and told us that we have to play with heart and intensity if we want to win."
On the play of Malia O'Neal and Kelsey Burns
"Malia stepped up and that is what we needed from our point guard. We play off of our point guard because the point guard is the reflection of Coach Bonvicini."
"Kelsey did a wonderful job tonight. She took some great shots that opened up the court for us."
Sophomore Guard Kelsey Burns
On being back on the court
"It was good to be back on the court. To be playing again is a great feeling. I just came in prepared for anything and I took what came. It is amazing being out there with my teammates."
Stanford Head Coach Tara VanDerveer
"I thought we did a good job in the first half.
"I think
"I think we looked good in the first half but we didn't come out aggressively in the second. We need to put together two halves though. They made too many threes and that was how they got back in."
On the team's post play
"I think they played really well, but I was disappointed with the foul situation. Brooke (Smith) has had a great season. Jayne (Appel), I think is the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year. We've got big kids that can score and can move."
On the team's poise
"I think this is a championship team. We have been in tight games before and performed well. Candace (Wiggins) hit some big shots for us and we have some very experienced players."
Junior guard Candace Wiggins
"I felt good coming into the game. I love this road trip to
"I rely on the three point shot. I think you have to have the mentality of a 50 percent three point shooter. If you miss two than you know the next two are going in. I shoot if I'm open and sometimes when I'm not open."

Senior Women's Tennis Player Natasha Marks -
Hey Wildcat Fans!
Last weekend was very important for us as we played two Pac-12 teams and wanted to redeem ourselves from the loss at Washington State in Pullman. So far this season, we are undefeated at home and want to keep it that way as we go into conference matches.
Our first match was on Friday against the Washington Huskies, who have always been a tough team and since I have been here. We had never beaten them and it was time for revenge this year.
We were also back to full strength as Kim "Wildcat" Stubbe had suffered an ankle injury (practicing with me) before spring break and had been out ever since.
Doubles started according to plan and we won on all three courts, which put us in a great position going forward into singles. After a 10 min break and team talk we walked back on court for singles.
Singles was tight from positions one through six, but early wins from myself and Sarah kept us ahead and we had to go and support our teammates like crazy! It was scorching hot and after three hours of singles play, we had two matches left on court…sophomores Lacey and Kim.
This was Kim's first match in two weeks and the most tennis she had played since her ankle injury. She struggled in the heat as she CRAMPED, which brought back memories of her full body cramp at Vanderbilt.
She came from a set down and battled away in a tiebreaker. At the same, time Lacey was playing a great match against the No. 11-ranked girl in the nation and was winning. It was tense and Kim was cramping on court three, trying to stay alive and the rest of us were cheering Lacey on to win so we would win the match. Washington saved five match points, but Lacey came through on the sixth for the best win of her career and clinched the match for us!!!
The final result was Arizona 4, Washington 3.
The next day we played Oregon at an earlier start time of 12:30 and it was another hot day. In the past, Oregon has been a tricky team, but one in recent years we had won, so we were looking forward to trying to get another win on the board. Oregon always shows a lot of fight so we were ready to go.
The match started of in the same fashion, with Arizona taking all three of the doubles matches and the doubles point.
Singles got ahead as all three seniors posted singles wins. Senior Debora Castany finished first with a 6-0, 6-0 win. Sarah and I followed shortly after.
Looking down the courts, we were winning on every court and soon it came down to court one again where Lacey was in a battle with senior Julia Metzger. It was a really close match, but unfortunately Mighty Mouse lost 7-6, 6-4.
We won the match 6-1 and the weekend competition was over with two wins over Pac-12 schools. We kept our record of being undefeated at home and now we looked forward to travelling to Stanford and Cal on Thursday.
Thanks for everyone's support last weekend. We had a great crowd! And a big thank you to the red/grey people (as Kim calls you), you are an inspiration. I look forward to the U of A banquet where we can all dress up.
Bear down and GO CATTTSSS!

Pontiac GTO 1964
Pontiac GTO 1964
Stock #
4 Speed Manual
Red over Black
Brighton Motorsports is pleased to present this concours condition authentic 1964 Pontiac GTO in Marimba Red over Black. This is the real deal 389 348 HP 4 speed with factory installed tri-power. It is fully documented by the Pontiac Historical Society (PHS) authenticating its originality and options of black interior, tri-power, 4 speed, bucket seats, center console, working reverb radio and posi rear end.
The GTO was the brainchild of Pontiac engineer Russell Gee, an engine specialist, Bill Collins, a chassis engineer; and Pontiac chief engineer, John DeLorean. In early 1963, General Motors' management issued an edict banning divisions from involvement in auto racing. At the time, Pontiac's advertising and marketing approach was heavily based on performance, and racing was an important component of that strategy. With GM's ban on factory-sponsored racing, Pontiac's young visionary management turned its attention to emphasizing street performance.
Russell, Bill, and John decided to transform the upcoming redesigned Tempest, into a "Super Tempest" with the larger 389 cu. In. engine from the full-sized Pontiac Catalina and Bonneville, in place of the standard 326 Tempest V8.
The rest is history.
This GTO was meticulously concours frame-off restored with no expense spared. It has earned the coveted Gold Concours Certification from the GTO Association of America. Judging sheets and certificate are included with car. It also won a National First Place Award at the Antique Auto Club (AACA) SE Regional Meet.
Included with this classic are PHS documentation, Manuals, Awards, and a three ring binder of restoration photos.
She's real fine this very special Goat standing tall on her redline tires and original dog dish hubcaps. This is a real #1 condition collector car with only 49,464 original miles!

How does she know you love her?
How does she know she's yours?
Lovino sat at the table with his brother and his date. They were sitting there giggling and chit chatting away while poor Lovino was sitting there all alone. His brother, Feliciano, had set him up on a blind date, but for the most part, his date was a no show. He didn't know whether to be relieved or angry at the moment. All that he knew was this was boring and starting to get on his nerves. That was until he saw the most beautiful [hair color] girl walk into the room and stop to talk to the waiter. She wore a slim [fave color] dress that hug her curves. Her [hair length/color] hair was curled and hanging loosely on her shoulders while her [eye color] eyes searched the room. They locked onto his amber colored ones and he could feel the heat rushing to his cheeks. She had the same reaction. 'What on earth am I feeling?' he thought to himself. Sadly his thoughts were interrupted by his brother standing up and calling across the restaurant. "Ve~ ________!!! We're over here!" he called to her waving while Lovino's face grew redder.
She was even more beautiful up close rather than from across the restaurant. "Ve~ _____ this is-a my brother, Lovino Vargas," he said smiling as Lovino stood and nodded to you, "And-a Lovi, this is-a ______."
______ blushed. She knew Feliciano said they were twins, but Lovino was much more handsome. His 'I don't give two shits' look and just about everything about him. "H-hi," she said looking into his amber brown eyes and smiling. "H-hi," he said back feeling the corners of his mouth twinge upwards a bit when he saw her smile.
~Time skip of a few months~
__________ and Lovino had been dating for roughly about 3 months now. Things were going good for a change.
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her, or she'll be inclined to say...
"How do I know if he loves me?" _____ asked Feliciano as they finished rolling out the dough for dinner.
"Ve~ What-a do you mean?" He said looking at her as he grabbed the pan to make pizza with.
"Well Lovi just doesn't really seem that interested anymore," she said taking the dough into her hands and tossing it to form the circle.
"Well, he-a just has a hard time showing he-a cares," Feli said as he went to grab the pasta sauce, "Especially when it-a comes to you bella~"
This cause ________ to blush. "W-What do you mean Feli?" she asked almost dropping the pizza dough as she tossed it up.
"Ve~ He-a loves you!" Feli said taking the dough and putting it on the pan and making the rest of the pizza as ______ thought about what she was just told.
Lovino sat on the couch in the living room with Feliciano's girlfriend. He seemed to have a new one every few weeks. "So Lovino," she said looking at him with a quirked eyebrow, "What do you think of _______? You two have been dating for a while and everything."
Lovino turned about 50 shades of red before turning as red as a ripe tomato. "S-she's-a nice," he stuttered out looking away from his brothers girlfriend.
"Aaaaaaaand~" she said.
'Damn she's persistent,' he thought to himself as he looked back into her green eyes. "I ..I think I-a like her," he said feeling the heat move to his ears.
"Only like?" she said with a pout.
"Okay-a," he said pinching the bridge of his nose, she was more annoying than his brother, "I, uh, I love her."
"I knew it!" she yelled standing up and doing a victory dance.
Lovino only blushed more and felt a head ache coming on. He hadn't realized ______ was standing there in the doorway with a smile on her face having finally heard him say that he loves her. He looked up and noticed her standing there. All the color seemed to drain from his face as he realized she might have heard him. "_-_______," he said feeling a little bit of heat return to his face, "Did, did you-a hear that?"
"I did Lovi," she said smiling and feeling a little bit of heat rush to her face, "and I love you too."
At that he stood and walked over to her with a small smile appearing on his face. "Really?" he asked, "you-a love me?"
"Si, Ti amo," she said smirking and giving him a small kiss on the lips.
His heart will be yours forever
Something every day will show
That's how you know
He's your love...

I loved hearing from Don Shula yesterday...
I don't know if I'm surprised. This thing just happened. You have to live with it.
My reaction is that Saban in two years was 15-17. I don't think that will be any great loss. The bottom line is he didn't do the job that he was hired to do here.
The important thing is that the Dolphins get back on track winning like they did in the years I was there. I have a lot of great memories and pride in the organization.

Any organization that routinely runs outbound telemarketing, telesales or market research campaigns knows that you need a predictive dialer in order to achieve the most efficient and cost-effective campaign possible. With a predictive dialer in place, a company can save a bundle on labor costs and ensure timely completion of all outbound projects. And keeping operations lean and mean in this down economy is of utmost concern – especially in the highly competitive call center outsourcing industry.
A predictive dialer is a software application that automatically dials numbers and connects callers to sales reps or call center agents as they become available. This way, no agent sits idly waiting for call to come in – nor do they have to spend time manually dialing numbers.
What makes a predictive dialer unique is that it "predicts" the availability of the call center agent, based on average length of call, thereby optimizing the workflow. They differ from "auto dialers" in that they allow agents to interact with clients, auto-fill agent screens with client data, and update all pertinent web page or CRM based application information related to that particular client, before the next call is connected. These versatile machines are also capable of setting callbacks, reminders, deliver emails and faxes, transfer calls and perform third party verification and recordings.
OPC Marketing's SpitFire predictive dialer is a computer based dialing system that quickly places outbound calls via database interaction using special telephone cards that connect to a variety of communication and telephone lines. Once a list is uploaded into the system it automatically "scrubs" it against the federal "do-not-call" registry, which is managed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and enforced by the FTC, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC (News - Alert)), and state officials.
The predictive dialer is a no-brainer for any company engaging in telesales because it keeps sales reps continuously engaged with clients and reduces "shrinkage," which is the amount of time reps are "on the clock" but not on the phones. And as long as the sales reps are well trained and capable, having them engage with customers for longer periods of time typically results in higher conversion rates.
To learn more about OPC Marketing's highly versatile SpitFire predictive dialer, click here.
Related definitions that you should know as you increase your understanding of predictive dialers include:
Dialer: generic term for any computer-driven device that places outbound calls and connects the answered calls to an agent or operator.
Agent: telephone professional to whom a predictive dialer sends the ready call.
Predictive Dialer: Predictive dialing was introduced for the purpose of increasing efficiency within calling centers. They are computer based system that automatically dial groups of telephone numbers, and then passes live calls to available agents. The SpitFire Enterprise dialer utilizes sophisticated algorithms to speed up and slow down the call rate based on, number of available agents, number of available lines, the campaign's average call time and other statistical information.
Quick Connect: Quick Connect allows your agents to log in one-to-one with a phone line. This option is great for B2B purposes, especially when your agent needs to be on the phone line through the entire call.
Fixed Dialing: Fixed Dialing gives your call center manager the power to manually set the volume of calls. The software will then automatically dial a predetermined number of lines per agent. Fixed dialing is ideal for political campaigns, charity campaigns, and other situations drop call ratios are not a factor.
Auto dialer: makes thousands of calls screening for busy signals, no answers, fax machines while detecting answering machines/voicemail and delivers pre-recorded messages. SpitFireX Auto Dialer is a low cost solution for voice broadcasting.
Predictive dialers use complex mathematical algorithms that calculate, in real time:
SpitFire Enterprise Predictive SEP is a fully blended call center solution that supports unlimited lines, agents, and campaigns. Its greatest strength is in its flexibility: multiple campaigns can be set up, viewed, and changed with the click of a button.

LYONS, CO - Oct. 26: About 1,000 residents from the city of Lyons are expected to return home this weekend as water, sewage and gas are restored in homes. The town has been without utilities since mid-September after the St. Vrain River flooded homes and businesses and damaged the town's electric, water and sewer lines forcing community-wide evacuations.

Acer Iconia Tab A500 and A501 Android 3.2 update now rolling out (at least in Poland)
Following in the footsteps of the Motorola Xoom and the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, Acer's two 10.1-inch Android-powered tablets, the Iconia Tab A500 and the Iconia Tab A501 are apparently now getting their Android 3.2 update.
Android 3.2 is still classified as Honeycomb, and it brings a few enhancements alongside what's probably a slew of bug fixes. Most notable, perhaps, are the full SD card support now baked into the OS, and the new app scaling method that should allow apps written for smartphones to look a lot better on tablets.
Right now, the Android 3.2 update for the Iconia Tab only seems to have started rolling out in Poland, but we expect it to slowly make its way across the world. The update is over-the-air, and as such you don't need to do anything special or use a computer to install it. Your tablet will notify you once the update is available, and you go from there.
In Poland, new Acer Iconia Tabs will be sold with Android 3.2 preinstalled starting later this week.

More and more, research tells us that our children's healthy development depends on safe and positive experiences during the first few years of life. If you are a parent who works during these early years, choosing good child care is one of the most important decisions you will ever make for your child.
To help you make the right choice for your child, researchers have identified 13 research-based guidelines to think about when choosing a child care program.
You might want to visit several different child care programs, either centers or family child care homes, before you decide which one is best for your family. Call each child care program and schedule an appointment for your visit. Once you are there, stay for at least an hour to watch activities, check the surroundings, and ask questions. The checklist below provides a place for you to note which guidelines are met. Research shows that if a program follows guidelines, it is more likely to be a safe and healthy place for your child. Your state or county may have other guidelines to help ensure health and safety in child care programs.
Considering these guidelines can help you find a place where you feel comfortable leaving your child.

Terrific. Very moving. Well acted. Interesting staging that reinforced the plot tremendously. Definitely recommend this show. I would have paid full price for the ticket and still felt that I got a bargain.

A perfect play - a deft, sensitive, and unusual treatment of an important issue, a top notch cast, a great set, music and lighting. What more could one want. Ideas and issues to chew on, mull, and discuss for a long time to come. Don't miss it.

Quotes & Highlights
"O'Gara elicits some of the finest ensemble acting seen on any Boston stage this year …_ Tribes_ is largely devoid of manipulative button-pushing. What you get instead are honest human moments, as Raine explores that complicated familial intersection where complacency, loyalty, thoughtlessness, good intentions, and misunderstandings collide." -Boston Globe
"The excellent ensemble is having a good time with these neurotics and the family kind of grows on you. The cast is obviously listening to each other even while they're playing characters who don't." -WBUR

Herbal cigarettes will be smoked during the performance.

Free agency in the NFL begins on Tuesday, March 11, but the date that matters most to quarterback Mark Sanchez is March 25. That's when he is due a $2 million roster bonus by the New York Jets. Since Sanchez sports a whopping $13.1 million salary-cap hit in 2014, there is no way that the Jets will keep him on the team at that price. Whether they opt to release him or re-sign him on the cheap, a decision will be made by the 25th. At this time, the Jets still are considering their options.
