System Requirements:
The software operates under Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008/7/8.1/2012/10.
The program monitors devices using 30+ built-in monitoring checks which use common networking protocols including ICMP, TCP, ARP, SNMP, and WMI. An average modern PC can monitor up to 1000-2000 sensors using the ICMP, TCP, or ARP protocols.
If you want to monitor managed switches using SNMP, an average PC or server can handle several hundreds of sensors. 1000+ sensors will require more RAM and more cores in CPU. Some of our customers monitor up to 8000 switches on the 24-core server with 16 GB RAM and SSD drives using SNMP. Big number of sensors and short polling period imply intensive recording of the statistics data to your disks (and increased RAM consumption). Fast SSDs will perform better than slow HDDs.
The WMI monitoring utilizes the most of CPU load and 500-1000 checks can cause issues. For testing the performance issues in your specific environment, we recommend you to download and try our fully functional free 30-day trial version.

That Ridiculous Mila Kunis Chicken Lawsuit Was Dropped
Wow, in SHOCKING News, Mila Kunis' insane childhood friend is backing the eff off…
Kristina Karo tells TMZ she has decided to drop her $5,000 lawsuit against Kunis for allegedly stealing her chicken named Doggie 25 years ago. Karo says that, after hashing things out with her therapist (that's what therapy's for, friend) "I've learned to forgive in my heart the people who have wronged me, like Mila."
Karo says that her story resonated so much with her fans that they helped her raise the money to cover her therapy bills, so the lawsuit became unnecessary.
Um, fans?
Like any halfway sane person, Mila called BS on the lawsuit from the beginning. Still, Kristina I guess prays for Mila's soul? "There is only one judge and that is God. I pray for her soul and the soul of Doggie, that he has found peace finally in chicken heaven."
(Via TMZ)
Ah, the sage words of an insane Ukranian woman.

ROME (AP) -- Tens of thousands of women marched through Milan on Saturday to demand Italy keep its liberal abortion law intact while gays rallied in Rome to push for legal recognition for homosexual couples.
Both topics have become issues in Italy's election campaign, and the Roman Catholic Church and ministers in Premier Silvio Berlusconi's conservative government were scathing in denouncing the rallies.
"These demonstrators are really nauseating," Reforms Minister Roberto Calderoli, a member of the right-wing Northern League, was quoted as saying by the Italian news agency ANSA. "Family is a serious thing, based on love between a man and a woman."
Culture Minister Rocco Buttiglione, who is close to the Vatican, told reporters that people's energy should be spent on pro-family efforts like finding jobs and housing.
"These are the political problems you should put the spotlight on, because without children, Italy dies," Buttiglione said.
The Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, denounced as "provocations" efforts to give legal recognition to unmarried couples "independent of whether the partners are of different or the same sex." A program on Vatican Radio described the gay rally in Piazza Farnese as "ideological sexuality."
A crowd of gays and their supporters filled the Rome square to lobby for legal recognition for both gay and unmarried heterosexual couples. "Let's free love from religious phobia," read one banner in the crowd, estimated by police to number about 1,000.
Piazza Farnese, where a Renaissance palace is home to the French Embassy, was chosen for the rally because in 2002 two Italian men registered their union at the French consulate under a French law giving broad legal rights to gay couples. One of the two men also had French citizenship.
Paola Pollice, 38, and Marco Sodini, 40, unmarried, brought their three children to the rally. "We are here to offer our support to non-heterosexual couples and their families," Sodini said.
The Milan demonstration, whose slogan was "Let's emerge from silence," was organized by women concerned that Catholic politicians, encouraged by the Vatican, will try to undo a 1978 law that makes abortion legal during the first three months of pregnancy.
Police estimated 50,000 people joined in the march, which ended in the square in front of the Duomo, the city's Gothic cathedral.
The events came two days after Pope Benedict XVI said it was wrong to give legal recognition to gay unions and also reaffirmed the Vatican's condemnation of abortion.
Italian bishops have made abortion a campaign issue for the first time since 1981, when Italians upheld the law in a referendum that had been backed by the Vatican in a bid to overturn the legislation.
Politicians in the center-left opposition challenging Berlusconi in April 9 parliamentary elections have been divided over how far to go in granting rights to homosexuals who live together. It is a delicate question for Romano Prodi, a Catholic who is Berlusconi's opponent for the premiership.

Seems we're being overrun and undone by all our gadgets, glued as we are so much of the time to our various screens. Indeed, we barely come up for air anymore, and the same can be said for lots of our kids, too. As Victor Strasburger, a pediatrics professor at the University of New Mexico and co-author of "Children, Adolescents, and the Media" puts it: "They are spending more time with media than they are in school. They are spending more time with media than in any activity other than sleeping. You could make the argument that media have taken over the primary role of teaching kids from schools and parents in many cases."
A quick glimpse at the numbers tells the tale:
- The average 8- to 10-year-old spends nearly 8 hours a day engaged with different media.
- Older children and teens spend more than 11 hours a day with various media.
- 71% of children and teens report having a television in their bedrooms.
- 84% of children and teens are online.
- 75% of 12- to 17-year-olds have a cellphone, up from 45% in 2004.
- 88% of 12- to 17-year-olds use text messaging.
These findings are borne out in Common Sense Media's "Zero to Eight" which found that a whopping 72% of children 8 and younger have used a mobile device to play games, watch videos, and/or use apps. That figure stood at 38% in 2011. As for computers, the average start-up age is 3-1/2. Plus …
- 38% of the under two set have used a mobile device, up from 10% in 2011.
- About 12% of 2- to 4-year-olds use a computer every day and 24% at least once a week.
- Among those 5 to 8, 22% use a computer daily, with 46% doing so more than once a week.
As for what these little ones are doing on these devices, the study found that:
- 63% play games
- 50% use apps
- 47% watch videos
- 8% watch TV/movies
At the same time, television remains a big attention grabber with about 50% of children under two typically watching TV or DVDs for about two hours a day. Among all children under two, the average watch time is 53 minutes a day—more than twice the 23 minutes they are read to on a daily basis.
Add to that the hours our TVs keep us company during the day as we go about our daily routines. The average child is exposed to such "background television" for about four hours a day, and that pales in comparison to the 5.5 hours for those 8 to 24 months. About that, Matthew Lapierre, co-author of a study on the subject, says, "Background television exposure has been linked to lower sustained attention during playtime, lower quality parent-child interactions, and reduced performance on cognitive tasks."
No wonder the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that kids engage in two hours or less a day of screen time and zip for the under two set. Unfortunately, it seems too few are paying attention anymore.

Imagine Dragons' lead vocalist Dan Reynolds will be the recipient of the Songwriters Hall of Fame's (SHOF) prestigious Hal David Starlight Award, to be presented at the 45th Annual Induction and Awards Dinner on June 12 at New York's Marriott Marquis Hotel.
Reynolds is the co-writer of all of the songs recorded by the Grammy-winning rock band, including "It's Time," "Radioactive," "Demons," "On Top of the World" and "Bleeding Out."
"Dan Reynolds is a dream ticket for the Songwriters Hall of Fame Starlight Award," said SHOF chairman Jimmy Webb in announcing the award this morning.
"He has helped create truly contemporary rock n' roll with the band Imagine Dragons. A sound at once musically literate and issue-driven yet founded on solid composition and songwriting. We are extremely happy to join Dan with the other distinguished alumni who have received the Starlight."
The Hal David Starlight Award was created in 2004 and is named for the late SHOF chairman emeritus Hal David, in honor of his longtime support of young songwriters. Award recipients are gifted young songwriters who are making a significant impact in the music industry via their original songs.
Past Starlight Award winners include Rob Thomas, Alicia Keys, John Mayer, John Legend, John Rzeznik, Jason Mraz, Taylor Swift, Drake, Ne-Yo and Benny Blanco.
This year's SHOF inductees are Ray Davies, Donovan, Graham Gouldman, Mark James and Jim Weatherly.
In addition, the legendary songwriting team of Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff, a.k.a. Gamble and Huff, will receive the Songwriters Hall of Fame's (SHOF) prestigious Johnny Mercer Award, while music industry executive Doug Morris will receive the Songwriters Hall of Fame (SHOF) Howie Richmond Hitmaker Award.
The SHOF is dedicated to recognizing the work and lives of composers and lyricists who create popular music around the world.

Right - no more talk of rate cuts - we should be discussing putting rates up and soon. The economy is clearly humming along nicely and yet rates are still set at emergency lows, which is clearly touching off a house price boom in Auckland. That needs to be choked off double quick.
BUSINESSDESK: The New Zealand economy grew at a faster-than-expected clip in the second quarter, driven by record milk production and increased building activity, while growth in the first quarter was trimmed back.
Gross domestic product grew 0.6% in the three months ended June 30, from a 1% pace in the first three months of the year, a revision from the previously published 1.1%, Statistics New Zealand says.
Growth of 0.3% had been expected in the second quarter, according to a Reuters survey.
The economy tracked as the central bank expected in the second quarter, with growth matching the estimate in last week's monetary policy statement.
The data has been subject to revisions because Statistics NZ has been overhauling its measures of GDP in a staged change. As a result, GDP growth in the final two quarters of 2011 was revised up to 0.5% apiece from 0.4%.
The second quarter figures reflect a boom season for pasture growth that resulted in record production of milk, the basis of New Zealand's exports of dairy products. Added to that, the reconstruction of earthquake-damaged Christchurch is starting to stoke building activity.
"The good pasture conditions in the first half of the year continued to contribute to economic growth this quarter," the department's national accounts manager Rachael Milicich says. "We are also now seeing evidence of a rebuild in Canterbury following the earthquakes."
Agriculture was the largest contributor to economic growth in the latest quarter, rising 4.7% and contributing to a 3.6% gain in primary industries as a whole, which mainly reflected record milk production. Forestry and logging rose 5.5%.
Construction grew 3.3%, the biggest quarterly gain since a 7.7% jump in the June 2010 quarter, driven by heavy and civil engineering such as roads and bridges, which is at its highest level since the series began in June 1987.
Residential building activity grew 6.2%, reflecting work underway in Christchurch.
Transport, postal and warehousing grew 2.7%, the largest increase since the same pace of growth in March 2008. Manufacturing grew 0.8%, after growth of 1.9% in the first three months of the year.
Electricity, gas, water and waste services fell 2.4%, the fifth straight quarterly decline.
The expenditure measure of GDP rose 0.3%, with gross capital formation rising 3.1% on increased investment in plant, machinery and equipment.
Household consumption expenditure rose 0.2%, with gains in spending on durable goods, which rose by 1%, led by purchases of cars, motorbikes and bicycles. Household spending on services and on non-durables was flat in the latest quarter.
Exports of goods and services fell 1.2%, reflecting lower shipments of primary products. Imports slid 2.9% on lower imports of intermediate goods.
Gross fixed capital formation rose 3.1%. Residential building investment grew 5.7%, following a revised 0.9% gain in the first quarter. Business investment in fixed assets rose 2.8%, up from 2% in the first quarter.

Valerie Bertinelli's weight gain is the buzz online especially since she did such a great job on the Jenny Craig diet when she was their spokesperson. Does this mean that Bertinelli's weight loss was just for the sake of the Jenny Craig commercials and big bucks? No, not at all.
According to ABC News on April 4, Bertinelli gained the weight back after she broke her foot and couldn't work out for three months. She also said that at 53, she shouldn't need to feel shame when she puts a few pounds on.
When she noticed the weight slowly returning, she panicked, but that soon subsided when she rationalized that there's nothing to panic about. Above all, this is her body and she isn't going to be shamed into feeling guilty!
Bertinelli also gives a shout out to the women out there who she feels should stand behind one another and not pull another women apart verbally who puts on some weight.
As far as the weight coming off again, Valerie is already back at the gym, but she isn't going to starve herself. She likes to eat and she plans on eating!

Fulbright program alumni continue to make a difference to the world even decades after they complete their studies. Fulbright scholar Colville Norbert Young, Governor General of Belize, disproved this general rule by stepping into his position as head of State of Belize in 1993, only a year after completing his Fulbright program. But others, including Ingvar Gosta Carlsson, Prime Minister of Sweden, served two terms as prime minister of Sweden, the second term over thirty years after completing the Fulbright Foreign Student Program.
Fulbright scholars has achieved the world's highest accolades, include dozens of Nobel and Pulitzer prizes. Among them are Henry Kissinger, John Steinbeck and Milton Friedman. But there are many, many more. And beyond them are thousands of others who have exceled in life main contributions to society and the world around them. In physics, medicine, engineering, political science, economics, human rights and literature Fulbright scholars have sought and achieved personal excellence in a way that makes the world a better place for all of us.
Volunteerism and service to country, service to world is not always an easy path to follow. The Fulbright program helps smooth out some of the bumps and straighten some of the curves financially. But more importantly, the road ahead is better mapped by closely monitoring and mentoring the scholars who enter this endeavor to make a difference.
Despite the turmoil in today's world, around the world, volunteers and workers in community development, civil society, in teaching, agriculture, industry, business and family welfare push back against the negativity with amazing success stories that are a testament to the other side of the human race – the drive toward excellence.
Perhaps the fundamental theme of the Fulbright program is increasing understanding among mankind to all corners of the world. This is done by immersion of the student or the researcher into the domestic environment of the foreign culture being observed. Exchange programs allow Fulbright participants to take their personal toolkit of mind, heart and soil onto the foreign 'worksite' to build there, and at the same time, hone their skills to return home…or in some cases to travel further abroad…to apply those skills.
In 2016 the Fulbright program will be seven decades old, having achieved many of the goals that its founder, J. William Fulbright expressed so succinctly with, "The Fulbright Program aims to bring a little more knowledge, a little more reason, and a little more compassion into world affairs and thereby increase the chance that nations will learn at last to live in peace and friendship."
"Little more" might be seen by today's observers as a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor in a sense. Rather than a little more, there has been a lot more. Knowledge of others has provided important insight into not just how others think, but wisdom into how to relate with them. Reason has been instrumental, despite some failures, in highlighting the interrelationship among nations. Compassion has increased perhaps logarithmically with additional children based on the Fulbright program and those similar such as the Peace Corps and thousands of civil society efforts now stretching around the globe. If the Fulbright program provided a little more, its alumni provided a great deal more. And the world is much better off because of it.

Senior Nick Boullosa Stole Three Bases in the Series Finale at UCF
April 10, 2011
Box Score (PDF) | Season Statistics (PDF)
ORLANDO, Fla. - An early Green Wave lead was erased by UCF on Sunday afternoon, as the Tulane baseball team dropped an 8-7 ballgame in the series finale at Jay Bergman Field. Tulane rushed out to a 7-0 lead entering the bottom of the sixth, but the Knights fought back to grab the final game of the three-game series, which was won by the Olive and Blue.
"We won the series, but when you are up seven (runs) late in the game you certainly want that sweep," said Tulane head coach Rick Jones. "Our lack of depth in pitching really reared its head for us today, because we had to run a couple of guys out there late who were not as rested as we would want them to be. We get the double play ball in the ninth to Brennan and we get the bad hop, but if you look at the last two days we know something else could have happened and that's just baseball. I felt like we had a chance to blow it open in the sixth with the bases loaded and we just couldn't get it done."
After winning the first two games in close fashion, the Green Wave (20-12, 3-6 C-USA) looked to blow the Sunday finale wide open as they plated four runs in the first inning against UCF (21-11, 3-6 C-USA) starting pitcher Ray Hanson. The first four batters of the game reached base for the Olive and Blue and Jeremy Schaffer delivered his third home run of the weekend - fourth of the season - to give the visitors an early lead. After a Blake Crohan double, a pair of ground outs moved the sophomore up with Bowen Woodson's grounder to third base plating the fourth run.
With the lead at 4-0, Tulane added an unearned run in the fourth on an RBI single from Matt Ryan and tacked on two more runs in the sixth. Nick Boullosa executed a safety squeeze with runners on first and third to plate the first run and a bases loaded walk to Blake Crohan made it a 7-0 lead for Tulane. Nick Schneeberger struck out with the bases loaded and two outs, however, and the stage was set for the UCF comeback.
Alex Byo gave Tulane an amazing start after missing nearly a month with tightness in his shoulder, as the sophomore tossed four scoreless innings and allowed just two hits. Byo didn't allow any runs and struck out three with no walks before handing it over the bullpen.
Trailing 7-0, UCF scored their first run of the contest in the sixth inning on a double play ball from Darnell Sweeney with runner no outs and runners on first and third. Jonathan Griffin hit his third home run of the weekend in the seventh inning to cut the deficit to 7-2 and a two-run home run from D.J. Hicks in the eighth inning made it a 7-4 game.
Joe Rogers (1-1) came on in the eighth with one out and a runner on first and got a fly ball and ground ball out to keep the Knights within three runs.
In the ninth, Alex Facundus (6-2) came on in relief and walked the first two batters he faced. A base hit from Derek Luciano scored the first run of the inning and Travis Shreve followed with an RBI single of his own to make it a 7-6 ballgame. Facundus struck out Sweeney on a fouled off bunt attempt on a third strike and then walked Ronnie Richardson to load the bases with one out. Hicks delivered again with a single to right field, allowing pinch runner Kevin Vasquez and Shreve to score and give the Knights an 8-7 win.
Tulane won the first two games in close fashion and will own the tie breaker with UCF, should that come into play for the postseason tournament.
In the contest, Crohan and Brennan Middleton each posted a pair of hits, while Schaffer led the team with three RBI's. Eight of the nine Tulane starters collected hits in the game and five different players collected RBI's. Boullosa was on base three times in the contest - via hit, walk and hit-by-pitch - and stole three bases on the afternoon.
The Green Wave will entertain South Alabama on Wednesday, April 13 at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium starting at 6:30. Prior to first pitch, the Tulane athletics department will honor head coach Rick Jones, who collected his 1,000th career head coaching victory on Friday evening at UCF, with a pregame ceremony. Arrive early to the ballpark to help Tulane congratulate coach Jones on reaching this milestone.

Nikon Unveils SB-910 Speedlight Flash That Won't Shut Down During Overheating
Nikon released a new top-of-the-line speedlight flash for digital SLRs tonight: the SB-910, which will begin selling in mid-December for $549.95. The new SB-910 replaces the SB-900.
The new SB-910 speedlight flash has a few new features from the previous model, including these three main changes:
• A new GUI (Graphic User Interface) that's much like the SB-700 flash. The buttons on the SB-910 light up, which helps for working in the dark.
• The thermal cut-out function on the SB-910 has changed. With the SB-900, the flash shut down prematurely when it would overheat to save the flash head. This feature drove some photographers crazy since it would often prevent the ability to fire the flash in certain situations.

Jeffrey Miller finished tied for 12th in the season-opening tournament.
Sept. 11, 2012
By John Lock
PINEVILLE, Ky. - The Southern Illinois men's golf team finished fourth at the season-opening Wasioto Winds Fall Kick-Off, hosted by Morehead State. Jake Erickson and Jeffrey Miller both shot three-round scores of 218 and tied for 12th individually.
"We played three solid rounds of golf," head coach Leroy Newton said. "We left some shots out there, but overall we played pretty good as a team. I'm looking forward to getting some more practice in and playing another tournament next week against some even tougher competition."
Southern improved its team score in each round, and five of the six SIU golfers posted their lowest round in today's final round. Erickson shot a 69 in the second round--his fifth career round in the 60s--to lead a nine-shot improvement from the first to second rounds.
Miller shot a 71 (-1) in the final round to tie Erickson for the team lead. Brandon Cauldwell also shot a final-round 71. Cauldwell tied for 19th, giving SIU three of the top 20 golfers in the 94-player field.
Joe Goelzhauser shot a 73 in the final round and tied for 36th individually. Freshman Drew Novara posted his best round of the tournament, 75, in the final round and finished tied for 40th. Ryan Haxel, another freshman, competed in the tournament as an individual and shot a final-round 73 to tie Novara for 40th overall.
Murray State won the tournament by 16 strokes. The Racers also claimed the individual crown after Patrick Newcomb shot a final-round 68. Newcomb shot a three-round total of 208 and won the individual title by two shots.
SIU turns around and plays again Sunday, Sept. 16, at the Purdue/Midwest Shootout in West Lafayette, Ind.

We've tried every cream, spray, rinse, conditioner, mousse, and comb on the market to rid our hair of frizz. But little did we know, it was the towel that was doing the most damage. The terrycloth pulled and snagged our tendrils creating that unintentional afro we've been trying to tame for the past ten years. Now we've got the DevaCurl DevaTowel ($12), which absorbs just enough water to ensure curl-setting products still work but does so without angering the sleeping curl giants that live on our head. One small step for our hair, one giant leap backwards for our level of frustration when dealing with our wild tresses.
What's a Cheap Thrill? Just our shameless way of getting you to impulse buy! Cheap Thrill items are under $20, including shipping.
Sweeeet. I have a microfiber towel from the Body Shop that's getting pretty old. I have every other DevaCurl product, I might well buy this as a replacement.

Is there a term or word for a "reverse deadline"? Deadline is normally the date or time before which something must occur. I'm seeking a term for the date or time after which something may occur.
I am preparing instructions for announcing results which must be announced after a certain date. At the moment the text proposes to use the word 'deadline', but for the reasons mentioned above I will propose to reword it to "Results cannot be announced before..." but I would prefer to use a 'deadline'-type word instead.

Polish poster artist Kaja Renkas exhibits her posters at Cracker Jax, a 1950's era vintage shop located downtown DeKalb. The exhibition opened today, April 19, and Renkas' works will remain on view till April 26, 2014.
Renkas' work is whimsical and playful. She creates dreamscapes in which both objects and living beings distort, fragment, and morph, genders divert, and sensual, luxurious, and opulently sensuous spaces evolve. Engaging her playful and sinful world, the viewer is drawn into an erotic universe where voyeurism is the norm and subjects are held captive in cages, trapped in archways, or confined in space by virtue of broken limbs or dismemberment. Her imagery is built out of multiple transparent layers, creating rich visual texture and vibrant, luminous color. Figures emerge and fade into backgrounds as she explores the visual principles of mimicry and camouflage.
Cracker Jax is the ideal venue for Renkas to share her work. The store is eclectic, cheerful, and busy, filled to the brim with both 1950's vintage items, and contemporary craft items inspired by mid-century design. Renkas' posters are both absorbed into and swallowed up by the physical environment of the store, and emerge from it as a natural part of its fabric. Their installation is casual, hanging from the ceiling using vintage clips, and randomly placed on a small round table.
Cracker Jax, located at 118 North Third Street in DeKalb, is open 10 a.m. till 7 p.m. CST Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. till 6 p.m. CST Saturday and 11a.m. till 5 p.m. Sunday.

In many homes, the days of matched furniture and formal draperies in living rooms are passé. More versatile choices in furnishings, colors and hardwood floors will turn a stuffy living room into a place that will draw in visitors and family members alike. The walnut 5-inch planks in Anderson's Vintage hardwood floor collection, for instance, are a flooring selection that can suit the modern living room.
Remodelaholic cautioned homeowners to observe basic home design rules before they start their quest to soften the appeal of their living rooms. Having neutral colors for walls, ceilings and wood trim is still preferred. Neutrals ground the room's color scheme and allow home decorators to focus bolder colors in accessories, side pieces of furniture and soft furnishings.
Once the neutrals are in place, homeowners' choice of accent hues should be drawn from your family's favorite colors. Introducing brighter shades into a living room is one way to liven up the atmosphere without giving up the sophistication that many homeowners still want when they use the room to entertain guests.
Choose a table
Small tables used as end pieces, a sofa table or the focus of a conversation area in a corner of the room are among the most versatile additions to a room that homeowners use for socializing. Round tables tend to have a more casual, cozy feel, but can take up more space if they're used as coffee tables.
According to Real Simple magazine, table styles range from contemporary glass-topped versions to traditional hardwood pieces. Those that come with drawers or a shelf beneath the top surface provide storage. A beveled mirror placed on a table top will give the room a dash of sparkle and a traditional Parsons table goes well in rustic or modern decor. Create balance
Whether you're balancing furniture, colors or accessories, it's a good idea to keep proportion in mind. That goes for the way you set up a wall gallery as well. A variety of sizes and colors in framed items is acceptable, but there shouldn't be one piece that weighs down the overall effect. The eye should see the collection of framed pieces as a whole before focusing on individual items.
If colors are kept in proportions that are nearly equal between walls, window coverings and upholstered pieces, there's less chance that one hue will overwhelm the color scheme. By using one predominant accent tone, you can tie together different elements of the whole room. Smaller patches of other colors will add visual interest within the room design.

text: As it has been reported for the last two years, officials in Cuyahoga County are under investigation for fraud and corruption. Now it is the city of Cleveland which, according to a report by Chris Warren, the city's chief of regional development, has lost millions of dollars due to poor oversight of federally funded Afford-A-Home loans program. The Plain Dealer found that the program allows the city of Cleveland to provide low-income buyers with down payment loans of up to $20,000. However, nearly half of the homes that were sold between 2000 and 2007 had gone into foreclosure. The result is millions of dollars in loses for the city of Cleveland and the taxpayers. There is no investigation as to why loans were given to individuals who could not afford them. The reaction to this report is more troubling than the losses suffered. Plain Dealer reports that Chris Warren will continue his review as he determines how the Community Development department that runs the housing activities in Cleveland can become more efficient. There is no word of trying to find those who are responsible for the loss. The City Councilman, Tony Brancatelli, on the other hand, does not take this issue seriously when he said " You're not going to stop corruption, but you can put in common- sense checks and balances so you can answer basic questions." If an elected official does not fight to stop corruption, why is he even elected at all? There are other federally funded programs that are run by the city of Cleveland. What is happening to them? Do taxpayers fund these programs only to answer some basic questions? Taxpayers need more transparency and accountability. The Federal Government should check how the money is spent.

Category: baby name disputes
You're several months pregnant, when the conversation turns — as it often does — to names. You don't have a name picked out yet and you say you're considering several options. So your friend or sister-in-law or neighbor says, "Just don't use Sophie or Sadie or Benjamin or Nathan. I'm reserving those names in case I have another baby."
Well, as it happens, Sophia is on your list. And so is Nathaniel. You may want to use one of them, you may not, but you certainly don't want to be forced to take them out of consideration just because someone else calls dibs on them.
Should you stand up for your right to use whatever name you want, no dibs allowed? Should you just quietly go your own way as if the claim had never been laid down? Or should you back away from the newly-reserved names?
That's our question of the week: What's fair in baby-naming? Can you reserve a baby name? Should you respect someone else's "claim" on a name?
Recently we asked the Nameberry facebookers (Have you joined yet? Better hurry on over there) to tell us which baby names they'd loved that their partners nixed.
The question prompted a flood of comments, with 65 (and counting) berries weighing in on which beloved names their partners banished from consideration, and why.
Ohio mom of two Kristen Hunger had an easy — make that ecstatic — experience naming her first two children, Colette and Weston, pictured above. But this time around? She can't find a single name she loves….and she's afraid she knows why.
It was bound to happen. After two pregnancies during which I fell madly, unwaveringly in love with two names, I find myself pregnant again. Except this time I've come down with a severe and I fear terminal case of Baby Name Desensitization Disorder.
What exactly is BNDD? It is when you not only feel unexcited by any and every name, but you also feel apathetic and numb to the whole naming process! The disorder is aggravated by my background as a nanny, childcare employee, Sunday school teacher and nursery coordinator at our church. I have heard every name and know someone – or know someone who knows someone – who's used it. No matter what I do, I can't find a name that excites me the way my daughter's "Colette" or my son's "Weston" did.
When I discovered their names, I was instantly ready to get everything monogrammed. I didn't even look at other names or ask random people their opinions! It was so easy to envision Colette and Weston as spirited youths growing into successful and thriving adults. Holding steady jobs and contributing to society.
In our best fantasies, here's how we name our babies:
MOM-TO-BE — Darling, I just love the names Susannah and Henry, don't you?
DAD-TO-BE — Oh, yes, dear. And I might also suggest Jane, after your mother, and John, after my dad.
MOM — What excellent ideas, sweetheart. So if it's a girl, we'll name her Susannah Jane, and a boy will be Henry John.
DAD — Perfect. Now why don't you let me rub your feet?
In reality, discussions go more like this:
MOM — How about Susannah or Henry?
DAD — Blech. I hate those kind of frilly names; if we have a girl, I think we should name her something cool, like Harley or Parker. And if we have a boy, my mother says we have to name him after my father.
MOM — Your mother's not naming our baby. And your taste in names sucks.
Usually, after nine months or possibly ten, the parents manage to arrive at a name they both can live with. Why does baby-naming inspire such deep feelings and strong arguments in a couple who may have an easy time getting along in so many other ways?
Lying awake making name lists in the middle of the night.
Finding a name you love, only to have your neighbor use it for her dog.
Dealing with a partner who has no baby name ideas of his own, yet shoots down all of yours.
Writing one name on the birth certificate, only to change it a week later. And then change it back.
Have you been a victim of baby name craziness? Our message boards and comments are full of crazy, funny, and sometimes heart-breaking stories of baby name obsession, battles, indecision, procrastination, and yeah, sometimes all out insanity.
Has it happened to you? A little, a lot? Did you embrace the craziness or did it hit you unexpectedly, like a tsunami? Did you drive your partner — and maybe your family and friends — crazy about names, or were you the victim of others' craziness?

By 2000 civilian users greatly outnumbered military users, and the trend increased year-by-year. The very similar Russian GLONASS system used similar frequencies and single receivers could be built to handle signals from both satellites. Concerns about the US control over a system that came to be essential to civilian and military users worldwide led Europe to begin development of their own independent Galileo system in 2002.
GPS is managed by an Interagency GPS Executive Board. The US Air Force is designated as the executive service for system management. The system is operated and controlled by the 50th Space Wing's (Air Force Space Command) 2nd Space Operations Squadron, Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado. The Space and Missile Systems Center's (Air Force Space Command) Navstar GPS Joint Program Office, Los Angeles Air Force Base, California, is the DoD agency for acquiring GPS satellites, ground systems and military user equipment.
Delta II expendable launch vehicles are used to launch the GPS satellites from Cape Canaveral Air Station, FL, into six planes of circular 20,200 km / 12-hour orbits .
GPS provides the following:
The signals are so accurate that time can be figured to within 100 nanoseconds, velocity can be figured to within a fraction of a km per hour, and location can be figured to within meters.
GPS satellites orbit the earth every 12 hours emitting continuous navigation signals on two different L-band frequencies, L1 and L2.
Fundamental research on timing and navigation technology for Navstar was conducted by the Timation satellite series in the 1960's. There followed four generations of GPS satellites: the Block I, the Block IIA, the Block IIR, and the Block IIF. Block I satellites were used to test the principles of the Global Positioning System, and lessons learned from these 11 satellites were incorporated into later blocks. Block II, IIA and IIR satellites made up the constellation by the turn of the century. A total of 28 II/IIAs were put on contract, with the last four tagged as replacements for earlier satellites reaching the end of their service life. Block IIRs replaced older Block II/IIAs as they wear out. Block IIF fourth generation satellites were planned to begin flying in 2005.
The Joint Program Office Advanced Plans Branch is actively studying the opportunity to improve accuracy, availability, integrity, and survivability to meet emerging military and civil needs through 2030. The next block of satellites, called GPS III, would continue to deliver the new civil signals and improved military codes that were initiated on the GPS IIR-M and IIF programs. The first launch of research and development GPS III satellites was not expected before 2010.
Navstar continues to perform as the world's premier positioning and navigation systems. Endeavors such as mapping, aerial refueling, rendezvous operations, geodetic surveying, and search and rescue operations have all benefited greatly from GPS's accuracy.
Using lessons learned from Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, GPS User Equipment is being integrated into nearly all facets of modern warfare. Forward air controllers, pilots, tank drivers, and ground troops all use GPS to help ensure victory on the battlefield. GPS User Equipment consists of the receivers that use the signal from GPS satellites to compute position, time, and velocity primarily for military users. GPS receivers are integrated into every type of system used by the DoD: aircraft, spacecraft, munitions, ground vehicles and ships.
Stand-alone, hand-held receivers for individual use are also widespread among all branches of the Department. These receivers provide real-time situational awareness for the warfighter much more quickly and accurately than previous, conventional methods. GPS-guided munitions showcase this increased capability and are delivered with unprecedented accuracy, thus improving crew survivability while decreasing the number of weapons required to achieve military objectives.
Inherent to the future of military search and rescue is the Combat Survivor Evader Locator (CSEL). The CSEL system is a worldwide architecture of UHF ground stations, Joint Search and Rescue C2 systems and will include 46,000 robust handheld radios. The radios communicate through military, national and civil satellites for use by joint-service aircrews, including special operations. Designed to take the "search" out of "search and rescue," CSEL acquires a precise GPS derived location and communicates directly with rescue forces and, perhaps just as important, communicates to the survivor/evader that rescue is imminent.
As a service to GPS users, the Department of Transportation has established the "Navigation Information Service" (formerly "GPS Information Service") as a point of contact for civil GPS users.
GPS Development
In the late 1950's, scientists at John Hopkins University developed a way to use radio signals originating from a satellite in space to provide accurate position updates to navigation equipment located on the US Navy's ships and submarines. By the mid-1960's, the Air Force initiated a program consisting of several satellites with very accurate clocks onboard that could give off timing signals of their location in space which would accurately determine the position of a vehicle moving on land or in the air. In 1973, the Navy and the Air Force programs combined to form the Navigation Technology Program, which later evolved into the Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) in operation today.
Navstar GPS became the world's premier position, navigation and timing information service. Civilian users around the globe rely upon Navstar GPS as well. In fact, the system serves millions of civil users with over a 1.4 million handheld and vehicle-mounted GPS receivers having been produced each year since 1997. The rapidly growing GPS market, including equipment and applications, reached $6.2 billion in 2000 and was expected to surpass $50 billion by 2010.
The fundamental concept of GPS is to use simultaneous distance measurements from four satellites to compute the position and time of any receiver on or above the Earth's surface. The GPS satellites broadcast signals on two different frequencies so that sophisticated user receivers can correct for distortion effects due to the ionosphere, a layer of the atmosphere several hundred miles above the Earth. It takes between 65 and 85 milliseconds for a signal to travel from a GPS satellite to a receiver on the surface of the Earth. The signals are so accurate that time can be figured to much less than a millionth of a second, velocity can be figured to within a fraction of a km per hour, and location can be figured to within a few meters. Typical horizontal positioning accuracy for military users is 7 to 10 meters. Prior to the mid-1990's a purposely 'degraded signal' was provided for civilian users, limiting their accuracy to 70 to 100 meters. This was eliminated by order of President Clinton as it became obvious that civilian and commercial users had many unimagined uses for precise location and timing information as well.
Each Block II or IIA satellite has two cesium atomic clocks and two rubidium atomic clocks, while each Block IIR has three rubidium atomic clocks. The stability of these clocks is estimated to be approximately 1 second per 300,000 years. Only one clock is in use on each satellite at a time. The others are backups.
The cost to the Air Force in 1973 – 2000 to develop and procure the GPS satellites (not including military user equipment or launch costs) was approximately $5.6 billion in 'Year 2000' dollars. The approximate annual cost to operate and maintain the constellation, including research and development and procurement of new satellites, is $750 million.
The GPS worldwide satellite network consists of six monitor stations and four ground antenna stations. The monitor stations (located at Ascension Island, Cape Canaveral, Colorado Springs, Diego Garcia, Kwajalein and Hawaii) use specially-designed GPS receivers to passively track the navigation signals of all of the satellites. Data from the monitor stations is continually sent to the GPS Master Control Station (MCS), located at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, for processing. The MCS computes precise, updated information on the satellites' orbits and clock status every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Updated navigation information is sent from the MCS to the ground antenna stations (located at Ascension Island, Cape Canaveral, Diego Garcia and Kwajalein) and then to the satellites. These "uploads" are done once or twice per day for each satellite. This is sufficient to maintain the high accuracy of the GPS constellation.
By the year 2000 civil users outnumber military users by 100 to 1 and the ratio was increasing. The Compound Annual Growth Rate of the GPS market was growing by approximately 22%.
GPS satellites broadcast on two links to users: L1 and L2. L1 is transmitted at a frequency of 1575.42 MHz, and carries both a Coarse/Acquisition (C/A) ranging code and a Precise (P(Y)) ranging code. L2 is transmitted at a frequency of 1227.6 MHz and carries only the P(Y) code. Only the C/A code on L1 was originally available to all users. The military users have access to both the C/A code on L1 and the P(Y) code on L1 and L2. To access GPS for general use, a civilian user may purchase a hand-held or vehicle-mounted GPS receiver. The civil signal is free to all users worldwide. No subscription, license, fee or registration is required.
The future of plans for GPS included increased power and accuracy, as well as increased civil navigation safety with the addition of a new civil signal on the L2 link and a new civil-only signal on a new link, L5, to be broadcast at 1176.45 MHz. A new military-only signal (M-code) on the L1 and L2 links will be fully operational in 2010. It will have increased power and reduced vulnerability to signal jamming.

Transporter Movie Reviews
User reviews on Transporter
This movie was rather pathetic, but had some really interesting high points.
The French backdrop was really cool and the car was pretty sweet. The fights scenes were really entertaining although often belief had to be suspended. The action in this movie was really fun.
Even the character idea was rather interesting. A guy that asks no questions just transports things from one destination to another. Why most of his clients can't do it themselves is a question you are not supposed to ask. And his house on the water is very drool worthy.
The female character in this movie was just horrible. She couldn't act at all, and I'm usually very forgiving about bad acting, even her lines were laughably bad. She ruined what would have been a good action movie. I've never been able to watch this movie again just because of her (for guys though, she was rather hot so maybe she won't bother you as much).

I wasn't going anywhere until our celebration was over.
We said goodnight and gave the parents caution of "Drive safe" and went home. I tried the icepacks on all the injured limbs. All felt better, save one-the foot.
"Honey, take me to the ER"
"Why, you just twisted it, you'll be better tomorrow morning"
"Not this time, I'm pretty sure I broke it" He was not happy, since he decided to get into his pj's. But, he re-dressed and took me to the hospital. Got me a wheelchair and I checked in.
Guess what?
After the initial questions and x-rays, the doctor came in and told me I had indeed broken my metatarsal. "But if you had to break your foot, this was how to do it"
I mentioned my rather pesky joints, but after putting me in a temporary splint (swelling had to come down), he still gave me crutches. By the next afternoon and a full day of work, my foot hurt less than the rest of my joints. In fact, I winced everytime a trip to the ladies room became necessary. By nightfall, crying didn't seem silly at all.
Thankfully, we are a frugal and ecologically-minded family. My sister, who had an accident at the beginning of the year and had to use a walker, brought it over for me to reuse. Finally got in to see the orthopedic 5 days after the initial incident.
They re-xrayed my now purple and still swollen foot. I told my husband before hand "thank goodness, they'll give me one of those lovely velcro boots, and except for the driving, I'll be back to normal"
Murphy's Law struck again!
The doctor said I broke 2 bones, not one. Plus, as an added bonus, where it was broken required me to have absolutely no weight on the foot for the next 6-8 weeks! He was putting me in a cast and I would have to keep using the walker!
I told him honestly "This was not the plan. You are supposed to give me a boot and then I walk out of here and back to my busy existence"
He told me honestly "no, if you don't listen, surgery is in your future"
Okay, okay, I understood.
So I picked out hot pink for the cast. I sat there and let them add 5 pounds to my little frame. And I let my significantly better half put me back into the wheel chair and back home.
Yes, the foot bone's connected to the funnybone, but sometimes it just takes a very long time before you can remember that particular point.

When it comes to getting fit and healthy can supplements really increase your chances of losing weight and keeping it off? Advocare is a very popular supplement program that offers such hope for many, but for some it may fall short.
The Advocare 24 Day Challenge is mainly a supplement program that contains various vitamins and minerals geared to reset metabolism and cleanse your body for overall health. The first ten days, noted as the Cleanse Phase, is a daily program that involves the ingestion of probiotics, a fiber drink and supplements along with the recommendation of plenty of water. It also requires an energy drink called Spark that contains a sugar substitute called Sucralose. The recommended diet includes a serving of protein, a complex carbohydrate and a vegetable or fruit at each meal and two snacks.
The remaining days of the challenge are embedded with more supplements, a meal replacement shake at breakfast and an appetite suppressant called Metabolic Nutrition System or MNS, that is said to help curb appetite, provide energy and reduce cravings. This is called the Max Phase and is intended to supports weight loss.
While a number of people have undertaken the Advocare 24 Day Challenge and experienced weight and/or inches lost, others have used the products with little or no results. Some may find it difficult to keep up with the supplementation plan while others may find it challenging to overcome cravings. This could be due to the fact that some of the products contain artificial sugars. Artificial sweeteners have been shown in studies to increase cravings.
While there is moderate evidence that supplementation can be beneficial to health people who lose weight and keep it off are those that make long term life style changes including a healthful diet and regular exercise.

How to Clean Rust from a Pocketknife
Whether you have found an old knife in one of your old toolboxes or accidentally left your favorite knife outside in the rain, chances are you have encountered a nasty case of rust. Many old timers considered rust the sign of a knife's quality, but a rusted knife is also dangerous, useless and downright ugly. When you're done, try sharpening the knife.
1Clean the knife with WD-40. Dirt can interfere with cleaning, making it less effective.
2Buff with metal polish. For light rust, these steps may be sufficient.
3Rub the knife with steel wool and/or fine sandpaper to remove the rust spots. Sandpaper every rusty part of the knife. Even the littlest bit of rust can easily rust all over again. Try to wear goggles so that no rust shavings get in your eyes.
4Clean the knife again to remove any rust removing chemicals. Use rubbing alcohol to remove any excess moisture. Apply a rust inhibitor to prevent against future rust.
Community Q&A
Unanswered Questions
What if the rust is on the back/handle of the knife?
How could I get mud out of the inside
Ask a Question
- Some knives are made from rust-resistant alloys, but these tend to be more expensive.
- The sulfenic acids in an onion can dissolve rust. Just leave your knife embedded in an onion overnight.
- If you really want that your best pocket knife never gets rusted again then make sure that you used them regularly and lubricating them on regular interval.

According to the latest press release from Whistle, they have now unveiled their next generation pet monitoring device called WhistleGPS.
What's more, Whistle is inviting its community of users and dog lovers to participate in a one-for-one campaign to support Morris Animal Foundation, whose mission is to improve the health of the world's animals, including dogs. Morris Animal Foundation reports that one in four dogs over the age of two will develop cancer, affecting millions of pet parents across the country every year.
The WhistleGPS is a device that attaches to a dog's collar and tracks their location. It also monitors a dog's daily activity. It sends the key information wirelessly to the pet owner's or veterinarian's smartphone.
The great news is that for every WhistleGPS sold May 21-28 (up to 3,000 devices), Whistle will donate a device to the Morris Animal Foundation Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, the research program examining the leading causes of dog cancer.
David Haworth, CEO of Morris Animal Foundation, had this to say in the Whistle press release:
"As we are following the lives of our 3,000 Golden Retrievers, Whistle can provide our study with essential insights and data we could never have accessed before. The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is the first study of its kind which aims to uncover the root causes of cancer in dogs and advance how we diagnose and treat this pervasive disease. Whistle gives us unprecedented visibility into these dogs' lives to bolster our research into better protection of dogs against cancer."
Ben Jacobs, CEO of Whistle, also added:
"Whistle is solely committed to strengthening the relationships between dogs and owners, and we believe that better understanding our pets' health is critical to that bond. Partnering with Morris Animal Foundation is a natural extension of the passion and mission behind the Whistle community. By donating a WhistleGPS to the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study for every device pre-ordered this week, we are able to rally our incredible community of users around a cause that hits home for dog owners everywhere."
There is still time to participate in the campaign through May 28, 2014. Here is how:
Pre-order a WhistleGPS for $49 (SRP $129) online at www.Whistle.com through a limited time offering powered by Crowdtilt Open.
Remember, for every device purchased, one will be donated to the Morris Animal Foundation Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, up to 3,000 devices. WhistleGPS will ship starting summer 2015.
