Multi-tasking Brits do online Christmas shopping at work
A study conducted on behalf of the Daisy Group has found that we are spending as much as an hour a day browsing online for Christmas gifts while we are at work. Two thirds of those polled say that a bit of Christmas shopping makes a nice break from the daily grind, while 39% are confident their boss knows what is going on. Three in 10 say logging on at work to do the Christmas shop is the quickest way to get things done. Inspiration is also forthcoming from colleagues it seems, with half of those polled saying their co-workers have chosen gifts for their partner, 48% have sorted out gifts for mum while 21% have chosen dad's present.
CIPD calls for more flexibility for older workers
As more than half (56%) of workers over 55 plan to work beyond the state retirement age, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has put the case to the House of Lords Public Service and Demographic Change select committee of the business benefits of employing older people and the need for more flexibility to meet their needs. Dianah Worman, diversity adviser at CIPD said: "CIPD research shows that older workers are increasingly looking to extend their working lives and by 2020 it is predicted that 36% of the working population will be aged over 50." The CIPD has produced guidance for employers – Managing a healthy ageing workforce.
UK SMEs urged to export

Two-thirds of businesses "unaware" of the Equality Act
The Government Equalities Office (GEO) has published the results of a survey asking more than 1,800 organisations about the impact that the Equality Act 2010 has had on their business. Most of those surveyed were small or medium-sized enterprises. It found that two-thirds of those polled were unaware of the Equality Act, and smaller businesses said they found it difficult to get good quality information on equality issues. However, only 6% of employers had experienced complaints or grievances.

On Friday in Los Angeles, a young old woman named Demi Moore sold all her beautiful hair for $20, so she would have some money to buy a fine Christmas present for her husband Ashton. After ransacking the stores for hours, she finally came upon the perfect gift: a platinum fob chain for his treasured pocketwatch.
Unbeknownst to Demi, Ashton was on the other side of town, thinking of her and her lovely hair too. He got her divorce papers for Christmas (over a year after the couple announced their separation). He did not seek spousal support. They had no children.
Ashton is dating Mila Kunis now and Demi is dating a cat that she met in Florida.

WILLIAMSTOWN - No one was injured when a chimney fire broke out in a 166-year-old house in the 200 block of Second Street in Williamstown Monday afternoon.
Bernard Richards and his fiancee, Lori Miller, were inside the house when the blaze began around 4 p.m.
"We had built a fire in the fireplace, but it was hard to get it going," Richards said. "There was just a little smoke in the living room."

Firefighters hose down a chimney fire that damaged a 166-year-old house in the 200 block of Second Street in Williamstown Monday afternoon.
Williamstown Firefighter Paul Jordan said a passer-by apparently saw fire coming out of the roof near one of the home's two chimneys and notified the fire department.
"There were some flames coming out from under the eaves at the back of the house when we arrived," he said. "But two crews went inside and were able to keep the fire confined to the attic."
Jordan said there was some concern that the fire might work its way down into the walls of the house, so firefighters remained at the scene into the evening, and the power company was notified to shut off electricity to the structure.
CSX Transportation was notified to delay any trains bound for Williamstown as the railroad tracks run along Second Street directly in front of the house, and fire trucks were parked on the narrow street on both sides of the tracks.
Richards, who has resided in the house for 27 years, said the two-story brick house was built in 1847 and contained five fireplaces.
A firefighter said he saw some creosote built up in one of the chimneys. A cause of the fire has not been determined.
The amount of damage was not known Monday.
Two units from the Marietta Fire Department also responded to the blaze.

Augusta, Ga--A Year ago the ladies of Cross Creek finished the year with a 21 and 8 record. By most accounts a good season. Five of those losses happened in the last two and a half weeks of the season. This years squad is a year older and a year wiser and a whole lot better.
How much better? Well, they are perfect, 25 and 0 after last night's region tournament win. They were all pretty much underclassmen a season ago and have learned a lot. Like how to trust each other and how to deal with adversity. No question they learned plenty in 12 months.
"We just had to get that connection first an then we learned we could play with each other and trust each other, we just had to trust each other." said Ashley Outler
"We were so close, we lost to Sandy Creek in overtime last year and they were a number one seed and we were number four seed so they know again that it's there and they're just waiting to do it " said Kim Schlein
Things couldn't have gone much better this year with thier closest game, an eight point ballgame against a 6-A foe to start the year. Really haven't been challenged since averging 63 points a ballgame. They're just having fun and enjoying the ride and hope add a banner to a gym that's missing one for girls basketball
"We'll be the first girls to do it so I mean that's just a great feeling itself" said Briana "I love these girls, they're my heart so I mean playing with them it's like playing with my sisters."
"I don't know, this team is just special" added coach Schlein "They're special. They work hard, they have fun together, and you just can't explain it, it's just a feeling they love what they do"
Cross Creek takes on hephzibah for a third time Thursday night in Statesboro in the region semifinals. A win would lock up at least one home game in the playoffs, but this team is thinking a whole lot more

Why Avis' $500 Million Zipcar Buy Is Good News for Car-Sharing Startups
Avisid Monday that it agreed to buy car-sharing service Zipcar for $500 million.
That might worry many of the startups also vying for users seeking cars on demand, but not exactly, says Jessica Scorpio, co-founder of Getaround.
There is a slight difference between Getaround and Zipcar: Instead of controlling the fleet of cars, Getaround gives car owners a way to rent their cars to Getaround users for an hourly rate. The renters get paid for doing so.
The idea is to use existing assets — cars that are already on the road — instead of deploying additional cars on what are already crowded streets and parking lots.
Today's big price tag for Zipcar only serves as a reminder of the upside that car-sharing services have, Scorpio said. Getaround's fleet also rose to the level of Zipcar's in a shorter period of time, she said.
We caught up with Scorpio to find out more about Getaround. Here is an edited transcript of the interview:
WSJ: Why is this a good thing for car-sharing startups?
Jessica Scorpio: I think it's great for the whole space, the whole transportation industry. It really shows that car-sharing is a good idea that works. To see the traditional rental companies getting into it is really a good validation. I think what this does is really bring car-sharing into the main stream.
WSJ: How big is Getaround compared to Zipcar?
JS: We signed up 10,000 car owners in a year and a half, and it took Zipcar 12 years. The Airbnb-type startups, using all these excess assets, have a lot more potential to have a better kind of ecosystem around them. We're using existing surplus, and we have a whole community supporting each other.
WSJ: Does this change your funding outlook?
JS: Not really, we just raised $13.9 million and last year we expanded to five markets. We'll be expanding to more cities this year. We have ongoing conversations with various car companies. Nothing to share at this point. Car rental companies are seeing more demand for access to cars rather than owning it. More options allow more people to know about Getaround.
WSJ: Does it have anything to do with using mobile devices?
JS: I think mobile's huge. You're going to see a lot more from us in the coming months. What Zipcar did a good job of was using mobile to let people access the car, kind of like how Uber has a great mobile experience. You hit a button and the car unlocks. We're aiming for the same thing with Getaround. We have a proprietary hardware device. Really, these services are getting to a point where your phone is your mobility device.

Attorneys for the city of Meridian and Lauderdale County have responded to allegations of discrimination by the Meridian Police Department and Lauderdale County Youth Court system.
The U.S. Justice Department recently found that the two entities had created a school-to-jail pipeline for African American students in Meridian Public Schools, sending them to jail for minor offenses like dress code violations.
In a letter to the Justice Department, City Attorney Ronnie Walton and County Attorney Rick Barry denied those charges, and questioned the motivations of the people doing the investigation. The letter states that claims of discrimination are based on opinions and assumptions not supported by the facts.
Here's an excerpt from that letter.
"We also find it interesting that you would release your findings and immediately send them to the national media . . . It makes us seriously question your true intentions concerning your investigation."

(from Denise's email to me)
Hey you!
I made the cranberry couscous last night, and LOVED it just as much as I expected. The family liked it a lot too. (except Audrey, but she ate a bunch of roasted brussel sprouts so I thought you'd be proud of your little great-niece). And we continue to enjoy the Coach's Oats muffin recipe and yesterday I made the spelt muffins which were really good too.
So I thought I'd give back to my newest source of yummy, healthy recipes (that'd be you!)
Here's a really tasty and good-for-you cookie recipe that my mom found in Cooking Light, and I modified somewhat.
Whole Grain Lower-Fat Cranberry Oatmeal Chocoloate Chip Cookies
2/3 c whole wheat flour
3/4 c oat flour
3/4 c Coach's Oats (you could probably use rolled oats here)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
6 T butter
3/4 c packed brown sugar
1 c dried Cranberries
1 tsp vanilla
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 oz mini chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350*.
Whisk flours and next 3 ingredients (through salt) together in a large bowl.
Melt butter (I used a glass measuring cup in the microwave) then add brown sugar and stir until smooth.
Add sugar mixture to flour mixture, and beat with mixer on medium speed until well blended.
Add cranberries, vanilla, and egg. Beat until combined and fold in chocolate chips.
Drop by teaspoonfuls (I use the little ice cream scooper) onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven and let cool 3 minutes on sheet before removing.
Makes 3 dozen.

"Argo," about a group of U.S. hostages' escape from post-revolutionary Iran, won the prize for best movie at this year's British Academy Film Awards, or Baftas, the British equivalent of the Oscars.
The four runners-up were "Les Miserables," an adaptation of the hit stage musical; "Life of Pi," the story of a man stuck on a lifeboat with a tiger; "Lincoln," Steven Spielberg's saga about the 16th president's abolition of slavery; and "Zero Dark Thirty," on the hunt for and killing of Osama Bin Laden.
Daniel Day-Lewis clinched the best-actor trophy for his portrayal of President Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's 150-minute saga "Lincoln." Emmanuelle Riva took home the best leading actress award for "Amour."
Started in 1947 and honoring films produced worldwide and shown in British cinemas, the Baftas are now held before the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awards, or Oscars, and get more attention as a gauge of the year's standout titles. The Oscars will be presented in Los Angeles on Feb. 24.
The best-director award went to Ben Affleck for "Argo." Also nominated were Michael Haneke for "Amour," Quentin Tarantino for "Django Unchained," Ang Lee for "Life of Pi," and Kathryn Bigelow for "Zero Dark Thirty."
The new James Bond movie, "Skyfall," won the first award of the evening, for outstanding British film. It also took the prize for best original music.
Christoph Waltz was best supporting actor for his part in "Django" and Anne Hathaway was best supporting actress for her role in "Les Miserables," a movie that also won for best production design. "Silver Linings Playbook" was best adapted screenplay. "Amour" was best foreign-language film and "Searching for Sugar Man" best documentary.

Good morning, afternoon and evening everyone,
I am having issues with the current build of PMS, 1.72.0.
After installation I ran the GUI, which found the PS3, configured the system and then installed as a service. Afterwards I shutdown PMS and then ran the service. The PS3 was unable to see PMS. I changed the logon credentials for the service to run under my account instead of the system service account. Still no avail.
I added in the line <logger name="net.pms.network.UPNPHelper" level="ALL"/> to the logging config xml as I found in another post on this forum to see. Nothing is jumping out with what's wrong.
Here is the paste for the service debug.log
And the paste for the GUI debug.log
As seen from the service debug.log, the PS3 is seeing PMS and sending an M-SEARCH with PMS responding, but still is not showing up on the PS3.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advanced to everyone helping.

My Summer on the Hill with Autism Speaks
This guest post is by Emily Walters, second year law student at George Washington University and summer intern for the Government Relations Department at Autism Speaks.
Every law student who begins a summer internship expects the usual: a lot of work and long hours in exchange for an experience to put on your resume. So when I was given the opportunity to intern in the Government Relations Department of Autism Speaks my expectations were those of any internship – another step on the staircase to my legal career. But what I received from this summer far surpassed what I could have expected.
It started with a crash course in healthcare reform, disability rights, housing and transportation concerns, equal protection, biomedical research, and just about every area of law one can possibly think of. It seemed daunting at first – who knew autism was such a crosscutting issue? But each day I learned more, and with the help and support of the Autism Speaks staff, the material fell into place. Before I knew it, I was joining the advocacy efforts on the Hill – a both thrilling and terrifying notion for someone without prior Hill experience.
Throughout the summer I kept my family and friends laughing as I told them of my adventures at the Capitol (ranging from almost breaking a shoe as I climbed the steps for an important meeting, to nearly walking right into a Senator). However, the reality of our work on the Hill was much more serious. Each day was riddled with triumphs, disappointments, and unexpected compromises. I quickly learned that the classroom theories of legislation and implementing change at the congressional level are nothing like the real life political world. Lawmaking on behalf of those with autism is nearly impossible without people who are willing to pound the pavement and navigate the intricate networks of the Hill. Under the leadership and talent of the Government Relations Department, some incredible strides were made for the autism community as we found ways through that web.
Although being on the Hill was nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, the most memorable moment of the summer came towards the end of my internship. I awoke with a message from a close family friend whose son has autism: "Being involved like you are, is just too painful for me. Thanks for doing it for the moms who are too busy fixing their kids, and can't face anything else. Xo."
I was completely overcome with emotion. No, I didn't singlehandedly convince every lawmaker to join our cause, or pass a bill on my own, but I was part of something bigger than me – the greater effort to change the lives of individuals with autism and their families. And in those 90 days of a summer internship, I realized my life was changed in return. I saw unwavering strength from Army moms fighting at home for the needs of their children with autism, while their husbands are fighting abroad. I heard what integrity and eloquence really sound like, as I listened to individuals varying on the autism spectrum speak on a stakeholder panel before members of Congress and their staffs. This summer with Autism Speaks, I saw true compassion and understanding, from every single person I met with who is involved in the effort to better the lives of individuals with autism.

Just wanted to say thank you for being a part of the efforts for our kids… my son is going to be 2 at the end of this month and he was diagnose with pdd at the age of 1, for the last 8 months he has been in therapy and thanks to the law passed last year here in Florida the insurance is covering for his ABA therapy.. but without people like you and austism speaks he would not be doing so well. THANK YOU and god bless
September 7, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Were you able to make any headway in getting Autism Speaks to finally admit there is no verifiable, data-driven, research-based evidence to support the idea that vaccinations cause autism, and that the precious resource dollars generated by Autism Speaks should not be allocated towards any "scientist" or "researcher" that continues to attempt to prove this ill-fated hypothesis? Hmmmmmm.
By the way, my kid's not broke, so I don't spend my time "fixing" her.

So usually my routine is as follows. Practice various soccer drills, run for 30 minutes, then lift weights for about 45 minutes. I usually do this every weekday and then Saturday, taking Sunday off. Because of the holidays, I've been missing a few days and am starting to feel guilty about missing. I'm worried it will end up like other things I've started and then ended. Normally, I would run longer but because of time restraints, I start at 5:30 and go until about 8:30 with my routine. But, because I'm missing these days, am I going to get out of shape and find it hard to be able to do what I used to be able to do?
plane guy. Your feelings are normal but you have to start thinking long term. You are clearly motivated, otherwise you wouldnt even be asking this question. I have been involved with this sport for 21 years and know this very well, worry and doubt is a waste of your mental energy. Let go of it. You run a day, if you miss a day or two due to your schedule, then simply get back out the door when you can. If you have to get up at 4am to get a workout in because you have a meeting or something to do at 7, so be it. Dr. Joe Vigil, said it best, "there are 24 hours in a day, if you have a number of things that you have to do, compartmentalize them so you can do them all.
Is your goal mainly to run or soccer drills, lifting weights? Find out what has the most priority on your list and nail it. Hone in on where it is you have the most passion for in those three areas and lessen the lode on yourself. You will be more focused and less stressed..but you have to let go of the thoughts and concerns. Control what you can control. Hope this helps.
Personal Bests: 2.19.35
Half-Marathon: 1.07.06
20 Miles: 1.44.05
10 Miles: 50.54
Well, I sort of have to keep doing all those things for soccer. I need to do drills to improve my footwork, run to stay in shape, and I have to keep lifting weights to stay strong and not get knocked off the ball.
I wouldn't worry about missing occasional days. Hopefully you are not doing the same weight routine every day. You're better off alternating between, say, upper body, lower body, core, so you have recovery time between workouts for each muscle group. You might also try doing a longer run a couple times a week - don't know what distance you cover in 30 minutes. Longer runs will help your endurance late in the game.
I only get in about 7 to 9 miles during one run, which is about how much I cover in a game. Eventually, if this would work, I will cut down my run to 20 minutes and add more sprints since playing as a right- outside midfielder, that's what I'm doing most of the game, sprinting.

A Houston waiter is getting praise and encouragement from people all over the country for doing something, that in other circumstances, might have gotten him fired.
A woman, Kim Castillo and her young son, Milo, were dining in Laurenzo's Prime Rib, a restaurant in Houston, Texas, when a family of four came in to eat, and was seated at a booth nearby. Upon noticing that Milo has Down's Syndrome, the family asked to be moved to a table in a different area of the restaurant. The family reportedly told the waiter, 'Special needs kids should be kept in special places.'"
The waiter told the family that he was offended by their comment, and refused to serve them. The family who had requested to be moved, left the restaurant a short time later.
Kim Castillo relayed the story on her Facebook page later, and the story went viral, prompting thousands of comments on Laurenzo's Prime Rib's Facebook page, from people praising the waiter, and restaurant management for supporting his actions.

PFLAG Mourns the Death of Adele Starr
The PFLAG family received bad news today. Adele Starr, PFLAG National's first-ever national president, passed away today.
Adele stands as an important figure in PFLAG's history. After meeting Jeanne Manford, the mom who started it all in New York, Adele and her husband, Larry, got to work on organizing parents who were ready to come out in support of their LGBT kids -- and get other people to do the same.
PFLAG's first national office was actually housed in Adele's den in Los Angeles for several years, and even after the office "officially" moved to Washington, D.C., she continued to work for equality for all.
You can learn more about her contributions to our organization on the PFLAG website now. There is also a growing tribute from other past PFLAG National presidents available, too.

Nearly forty years ago a Methodist minister talked about how one of his teachers said we all have to identify our saints if we want to live fully realized, fully conscious lives. Sometimes, the teacher said, we have to dig deep to find our saints, difficult work indeed.
Adele Starr's death made me do a little digging, and, of course, I wasn't surprised to find her in my heart and mind, as alive as ever.
Adele Starr lives!
She lives in our minds, hearts, and work. Big-hearted and hard-headed, our George Washington realized her son wouldn't achieve full equality if other LGBT sons and daughters were denied their rights. She didn't settle for a private accommodation or personal comfort. She organized us—parents, family members, and all other straight allies—taught us, and led us. And she'll continue to lead us as we move equality forward.
Indeed, Adele lives!

My thoughts and prayers go out to Adele's family. May her good soul rest in peace. I thought I'd also share www.deathletters.org to his family as it might help to know there are people who are going through the same thing.

I wrote about Adele Starr as a "patron saint for straight allies of LGBT people" today on the Jesus in Love Blog. She died two years ago today, and I honor her for her courage and dedication in speaking up for her gay son and for all LGBT people.
You can see my tribute to her here:
Thank you, Adele! Thank you, PFLAG!

Hi all
When the mouse pointer hovers over a line, the line changes colour to indicate that it is selected. The colour it changes to seems to default to some kind of grey. I have my background set to grey, which means the lines effectively disappear.
Can anyone tell me how to specify a different colour for the lines that are under the mouse cursor? I couldn't see anything in Edit->Application Preferences->Graphics View->Colors.

RAVENSWOOD - West Virginia State Police are investigating the theft of $15,000 in copper from Constellium Rolled Products.
According to a story on the Jackson County Newspapers website, two thieves Friday afternoon made off with 4,000 pounds of copper from inside the plant located south of Ravenswood.
The website quoted Sgt. J.P. Murphy of the state police detachment at Ripley, who said two Hispanic men arrived at the plant driving a white Ford F-350 crew cab truck with tan trim and gained access to the plant by passing themselves off as contractors. Inside the gates, the men drove to the cast house where BB-sized raw copper pellets are stored.
They allegedly loaded about 4,000 pounds of the metal into their truck, then drove away.
The account of the incident parallels the version told to The Parkersburg News and Sentinel this week by a person who said he was an employee at Constellium. The copper was used in a process at Constellium, the person said.
Sgt. Michael Baylous, public affairs officer with the state police in Charleston, said he had not received information about the incident from the Ripley detachment. Further attempts to reach the Ripley detachment Tuesday were unsuccessful.
Laura Prisc, a spokesman for Constellium, told The Parkersburg News and Sentinel that the company had no statement.
Ravenswood Mayor Michael Ihle had not heard much about the theft, but said such a crime hurts the entire community.
"Statistics prove that copper theft is a dangerous and sometimes deadly crime," Ihle said. "It could not only cost the thief his life, but cost the company financially. When a company, like Constellium, provides hundreds of good-paying jobs, the added cost brought by the crime ultimately hurts the community."
Copper thefts have been on the rise with people looking to make fast money in the down-turned economy. The Constellium theft comes on the heels of a breaking and entering last week at the Sumnerite Museum in Parkersburg where thieves stole $17,000 in copper pipe and fittings.
"For those folks in need of financial help this Christmas season, I ask them to turn away from theft and instead toward our community's private nonprofit organizations," Ihle said.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Unwilling to roll the dice with injured ace Johnny Cueto, the Reds selected Homer Bailey as their starter for Game 3 in Cincinnati.
"You can't take a chance with Johnny," manager Dusty Baker said Sunday before Game 2 of the National League Division Series at AT&T Park. "We can't have him go out there again and have something else happen and have him come up short."
Back spasms forced Cueto out after eight pitches in his Game 1 start against the Giants on Saturday.
But not long after that game was over, the right-hander expressed optimism about returning Tuesday at Great American Ball Park.
Instead, Baker will hand the ball to Bailey, who went 13-10 with a 3.68 ERA during the regular season.
The right-hander finished strong, including a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sept. 28. In his tune-up start that followed, Bailey pitched four shutout innings against the St. Louis Cardinals.
"This is the healthiest Homer has been this year," Baker said. "We feel like he's on his way."
Bailey has a 5.59 ERA in five career appearances against the Giants.
In his only start against them this year, he gave up five runs in 6 1/3 innings in a 6-5 loss on April 26.
A huge ovation from the AT&T Park crowd left him struggling for words.
"The fans, they remember and appreciate everything," Renteria said shortly after coming off the field. "I'm never going to forget this time.
"They still remember what we did in 2010. It's unbelievable. I'm so happy (the Giants) are playing in the playoffs again."
Renteria hit .412 against the Texas Rangers in the 2010 World Series, including a pivotal three-run home run in the decisive Game 5.
He played 96 games for Reds in 2011 before retiring. This marked his first trip back to AT&T Park since his playing days.
"I saw everybody in the clubhouse," said Renteria, who flew in from Miami for the occasion. "You go back and the feeling doesn't go away. It's still here. It was very exciting to play in the World Series. Always. Always."
His face appeared on the video scoreboard between innings, right after highlights of the 49ers' win over Buffalo Bills.
The three-time Super Bowl MVP waved to the crowd and got one of the loudest cheers of the night.
Latos had been in line for the Game 3 start.
"What Latos did last night is what championships are made of," Baker said.
Neither team has announced their plans for a Game 4 starter.

In a year of highs for the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's tennis team, the group will be looking to add another first on Thursday in the opening round of the Southland Conference Tournament against Northwestern State.
The Islanders will be trying for their first win in the tournament ever, and will look to avenge a 4-3 loss earlier in the season against the Lady Demons, who also knocked Texas A&M – Corpus Christi out of the tournament last year.
Sandra Burges and Chelsea Horan will lead the team into the tournament after earning All-Southland honors this week at the No. 2 doubles position. Mirna Cicak will play the No. 1 position for the Islanders, while Doris Kuselj is at No. 2, Burges at No. 3, Stefania Nicolae at No. 4, Horan at No. 5 and Mia Matuszak at the No. 6 position.
The match will pit the No. 4 and 5 seeds in the Southland, as the teams tied in the regular season, and NSU owned the tiebreaker by virtue of their regular season win.
The first match came down to a 4-3 final, with the deciding singles point coming in a three-set thriller that ended 6-2, 5-7, 7-5 at the No. 4 position.
With the team healthy for the first time since the start of the season after battling injuries throughout the year, the Islanders will look to earn their inaugural win over a team that has been their nemesis the past two years.
For all the latest on Islanders Tennis, like the team on Facebook (Islanders Tennis) and follow them on Twitter (@IslandersTennis).

SANTA CLARA -- Alex Smith's upstanding yet somewhat unfulfilling 49ers career will end with a trade to the Kansas City Chiefs, multiple NFL sources told the Bay Area News Group on Wednesday.
The deal, which can't be ratified until March 12, has the 49ers poised to collect a second-round draft pick this year and a conditional third-round choice in 2014. That later pick could climb to a second-round selection based on Smith's playing time and Kansas City's success, a source stated.
With the Chiefs' second-round pick (No. 34 overall), the 49ers stand to own 15 picks in April's draft, including 11 already in hand plus another three compensatory picks that are expected to be announced later this month.
Left tackle Joe Staley, one of Smith's closest friends, tweeted: "Best of luck to Alex in KC. Amazing teammate, friend, and person. I know he will do great things there."
Neither the 49ers nor Chiefs would confirm the trade, which can't be completed until the NFL's new fiscal year begins. Smith was unavailable for comment.
Kansas City is a familiar landing spot for former 49ers quarterbacks, including most notably Joe Montana's trade there in 1993. Other ex-49ers who went on to start for Kansas City were Steve DeBerg, Steve Bono and Elvis Grbac.
Montana was a 36-year-old, four-time Super Bowl winner when the 49ers packaged him, safety David Whitmore and a 1994 third-round pick to the Chiefs for the 18th overall pick in 1993.
Smith, 28, was drafted first overall in 2005 out of Utah. His tenure seemed complete ever since Colin Kaepernick burst onto the scene in November and helped lead the 49ers to the Super Bowl.
Trent Dilfer, a former 49ers quarterback and one of Smith's confidants, spoke highly of the prescribed trade and expects the 49ers to produce a Super Bowl-filled dynasty this decade.
"This trade is stealing for the Niners," Dilfer, now an ESPN analyst, said on "NFL Live." "I can not believe they got a second and a conditional out of this. ... They are set up to not just be successful next year and the year after that, but five, six, seven years."
The Chiefs, under new leadership with coach Andy Reid and general manager John Dorsey, hold the first overall draft pick on April 25, based on last season's 2-14 record that tied as the league's worst with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fox Sports' Jay Glazer first reported Wednesday that the Chiefs would be Smith's destination. A deal was deemed "effectively complete" Sunday according to a report then by CBS Sports' Jason LaConfora.
In the days leading up to the Super Bowl, Smith denied a report that he would request his release, but he didn't mask his desire to start again. "I want to play football. I'm not hiding that fact," Smith said Jan. 30. "I love this team. I love being a part of it and of what's going on, but I want to play football."
Smith hasn't demanded who should be his next suitor, according to a source, but he did provide the 49ers a list of his preferred teams, and that Kansas City was near the top or at the top of that list. General manager Trent Baalke revealed last week that he recently had dinner with Smith and his wife, Elizabeth, to discuss their options.
Former Kansas City Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli said he wasn't surprised at Smith's price tag on the trade market. "But the one thing I've heard in talking to some good sources is that this thing hasn't been completely finalized yet," Pioli told SiriusXM NFL Radio. "I think they're still working through some of the absolute details on what the compensation is."
Pioli suggested that the Chiefs may look to acquire a lower-round pick with Smith before the deal is completed in two weeks. "What's been a new trend in the NFL is people generally kick picks back," Pioli added. "Even if they're going to give up a higher pick, they want to get something later in the draft so they at least have a volume of picks to have more opportunities."
Smith's career was hindered early by poor supporting casts, coaching changes and a 2007 shoulder injury. He emerged as one of the league's most efficient passers the past two seasons under coach Jim Harbaugh.
Smith has compiled a 38-36-1 regular-season record as a 49ers starter, including a 19-5-1 mark since 2011 before sustaining a Nov. 12 concussion that cost him his starting job.
Safety Donte Whitner tweeted: "Good luck to Mr. Alex Smith. I know you'll do great under Andy Reid in KC. The ultimate pro!"
Scott Tolzien is poised to serve as Kaepernick's backup with the 49ers. Another possible option is brining back Josh Johnson, a pending free agent who was cut after last season's exhibition season with the 49ers.
Dating back to halftime of an Oct. 18 win over Seattle, Smith completed 36 of his final 39 passes for 391 yards with five touchdowns and one interception. He did not play in any of the 49ers' three playoff games.
In his last full outing, Smith completed 18 of 19 passes in a 24-3 win at Arizona on Oct. 29, earning him a first-career NFC Offensive Player of the Week award. His career passing stats: 1,290-of-2,177 (59.3 percent), 14,280 yards, 81 touchdowns, 63 interceptions, 196 sacks.
Once Harbaugh stuck with Kaepernick over a medically cleared Smith for a Nov. 25 start at New Orleans, Smith's backup status was sealed. "It sucks. I don't know what else to say," Smith said on Nov. 29. —I feel the only thing I did to lose my job was get a concussion."
Smith's benching did not become a divisive force inside the locker room as the 49ers went on to win their second straight NFC West title and reach their second straight NFC championhip game.
Despite leading the 49ers to a playoff-opening win over the New Orleans Saints in the 2011 season, Smith's future was cast in doubt last year as he became a free agent and the 49ers "evaluated" Peyton Manning. Once Manning opted to sign with the Denver Broncos, the 49ers re-signed Smith to a three-year, $24 million contract that allowed them to escape the deal this offseason. Smith would be guaranteed $8.5 million for this season only if he's on the 49ers' roster April 1.
Matt Cassel has been the Chiefs' starting quarterback most of the past four seasons, since they acquired him in a 2009 trade with the New England Patriots.Casselis expected to be released.
The Chiefs had six players make last season's Pro Bowl, with 1,500-yard rusher Jamaal Charles their offense's lone representative. After winning the AFC West in 2010, the Chiefs finished in last place each of the past two seasons.
Reid, the Chiefs' third coach in three seasons, was interested in Smith last offseason as Reid prepared for his 14th and final season with the Eagles, according to previous comments from Dilfer.
Perhaps furthering the Chiefs' interest in Smith is that Dorsey is on record as saying this draft class lacks a quarterback worthy of the top pick. None of the past 10 quarterbacks drafted by the Chiefs produced a win as a starter, according to ESPN.Montanadelivered the Chiefs' last playoff win, when he led them to the AFC Championship game upon his arrival in the 1993 season.
Smith is 0-2 lifetime against the Chiefs, losing both times at Arrowhead Stadium. The 49ers lost 41-0 there in his 11th career start on Oct. 1, 2006; incidentally, Kaepernick's next start will be his 11th.
What are the chances Smith succeeds inKansas City? One Internet wagering site projected Smith's 2013 over-under lines with the Chiefs: 3,000 passing yards, 18 ½ touchdowns and 10 ½ interceptions.
The 49ers' draft-pick war chest would include five of the first 93 selections: No. 31 overall, No. 34 (from the Chiefs), No. 61 (original second-round pick), No. 74 (third-round choice, acquired from the Carolina Panthers last draft) and No. 93 (original third-round pick). They also own two picks in the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds prior to the upcoming compensatory choices they'll be awarded, having accrued those multiple picks via trades with the Indianapolis Colts (fifth round), Miami Dolphins (sixth round) and Cincinnati Bengals (seventh round).
A Facebook page impersonating Smith carried a phony, farewell message that the 49ers stated was not from the quarterback. But that post generated thousands of "likes" and comments, including this one: "Two words: BEAT OAKLAND."

Saturday riot reminiscent of UNH party days of old
DURHAM - The scene this past weekend at the University of New Hampshire seem reminiscent of former riotous, hard-partying days of the school's past, but could it also be a sign that some students are encouraging the revival of a party school title?

April 1, we had the honor of a visit by State Sen. Dan Brown and his wife Kathy, who came to the Rolla Police Department to honor Communications Chief Paula Volkmer with a Senatorial Resolution issued by the Missouri Senate, Ninety-seventh General Assembly, to applaud the well-deserved selection of Paula Volkmer as the Missouri Chapter on the National Emergency Number Association and the Missouri Association of Public Safety Communications Officials "911 Director of the Year 2013" and to convey to her this legislative body's most heartfelt best wishes for continued success in life for many more years to come. Congratulations Paula!
This next entry is from the desk of Communications Supervisor Paula Volkmer. Paula writes: WHEW!!! What a week it's been in communications! We had the task of getting each of our communicators to a two day training on our new CAD (computer aided dispatch) system in only 3.5 days! In a 24 hour operation like ours, this meant everyone had to be on their A game. We had several communicators battling through illness and overtime to get the training sessions completed. We even brought our recent retiree back in for a full week of work!
I am happy to report that we are well on our way to implementing this new system that is just one more tool to be used for better communication and connectivity for Phelps County public safety. Great job to our trainers for accommodating some long days and strange training schedules. Major kudos to the communicators that made powered through the week, taking everything in stride - even the multiple 12 hour shifts!
Central Communications was contacted a short time ago by a citizen who was concerned that he might be the victim of an Internet scam. After a short discussion with the gentleman, it became clear that he was describing a "re-shipper scam" in which a person in another country was asking him to accept receipt of goods (in this case computers) and then forward the goods onto them.
The excuse given for requesting this service is usually that the company they are purchasing from won't ship overseas, or that they will save money by asking the victim to do it for them compared to what the seller is charging. They will usually offer to write a nice-sized check to compensate for the shipping charges and the victim's time.
Be advised that the check will usually bounce (after shipping charges have been paid by the victim), and sometimes the goods the victim receives, are stolen, or have been paid for with a stolen credit card. If you want to learn more about common internet scams, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center has a lot of useful information at: http://www.ic3.gov/crimeschemes.aspx~.
Page 2 of 2 - The City of Rolla has reposed special trust and confidence in the knowledge, courage, integrity, and professional excellence of Reserve Officer David Reynolds. In view of these qualities and his demonstrated leadership potential and dedicated service to the Rolla Police Department, he is therefore promoted to the rank of Senior Patrol Officer, effective immediately.
Dave Reynolds came to the Rolla Police Department after retiring after a lengthy career with the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Dave's initial interest was with our Volunteers in Police Services (VIPS) program, where he served as a volunteer until deciding to join our ranks as a police reserve officer. Dave has served in that capacity since October of 2010 assisting the patrol division with patrol duties and traffic enforcement. Congratulations Dave!
The City of Rolla has reposed special trust and confidence in the knowledge, courage, integrity, and professional excellence of PTO Kevin Ziegler. In view of these qualities and his demonstrated leadership potential and dedicated service to the Rolla Police Department, he is therefore promoted to the rank of Senior Patrol Officer, effective immediately.
Kevin joined the Rolla Police Department in February of 2011 after serving as a reserve police officer with the Hartville, Police Department in Hartville, Missouri. Kevin was assigned to the patrol division and serves under Sgt. Jeremy Martens handling calls, investigating criminal activity and enforcing traffic ordinances. Congratulations Kevin!
In closing, I would like to congratulate those members of the Rolla Police family who will be celebrating their hiring date anniversaries during the month of April. And the winner is…. Parking Control Officer Larry Seest!
Larry was hired in April of 2011 after retiring from a lengthy career with the City of Rolla Fire and Rescue. Amazingly, out of 64 employees, Larry was the only person hired in the month of April. I guess he is special! Congratulations Larry! Have a great week!

Aero Design Team – wings and landing gear – Christopher Jurczak – 2008
Christopher Jurczak (2008 Dual Mechanical Engineering/Physics graduate) was part of a 3 person Aero Design team that worked on the wings and landing gear for Lawrence Tech's 2008 SAE Aero Design Competition Team. The purpose of this project was to design, build, and test the wings and landing gear of a radio controlled aircraft which will be used to provide lift and landing capability to sustain a given payload for the aircraft. The key business goals were the design and construction of the most efficient set of wings while keeping weight to a minimum and a light weight and strong set of landing gear, with the primary market being radio airplane enthusiasts and engineering students and major stakeholders being members of the design team, financial donors, and Lawrence Technological University.

Definition of capsule in English:
- These tiny cylindrical capsules contain microchips with copper coils.
- Male and female starlings were wild-caught, housed in the laboratory, and implanted with either empty silastic capsules or capsules containing testosterone.
- The capsule contains the details of a safety deposit box in a Swiss bank.
- One solution is to teach children to swallow tablets or capsules whole as early as possible.
- The number of capsules that you take depends on the strength of the medicine in the capsule and the dose prescribed by your doctor.
- If you are taking the sustained-release capsule: swallow the capsule whole.
- The prostate gland is enclosed in a prostatic capsule and surrounded by extraperitoneal connective tissue.
- Primary retroperitoneal tumors may attach to the renal capsule or invade the kidney and, therefore, appear clinically as a primary renal tumor.
- These calcifications could also be seen in the joint capsules, in ligaments and tendons.
- These derivitized proteins do many of the same jobs which are performed by the cell wall and capsule in bacteria.
- In certain parasitic bacteria, N-acetylneuraminate lyase also plays a role in the synthesis of a sialic acid polymer component of capsules that help these bacteria evade host defenses.
- After his summer at Woods Hole, Rollin joined Avery and Goebel in their work on the immunochemistry of the polysaccharide capsules of pneumonia bacteria.
- it is an alternative name for the capsule which covers the cork and neck of a wine bottle.
- You can buy foil capsules for the top of the bottle and make or buy your own labels, attaching them with a glue stick.
- Snip off the kitsch plastic bull attached to the capsule and concentrate instead on the tasty, plum and cherry-packed red, made from the garnacha and cariñena grapes, within.
- The leaves of the great poplar he climbed in gleamed as though polished; bead-like fruit dangled, inviting young hands to burst the green capsules open and release the fluffy seed.
- A developmental process termed dehiscence, in which the fruit ruptures in a predetermined fashion, effects the release of seeds from a dry capsule or other fruit form.
- The fruits are rounded, leathery 1-to 2-inch capsules containing one to three large poisonous seeds.
- For example, in mosses the sporophyte is a capsule atop a slender stalk that grows out of the top of the gametophyte.
- Small distinguished M. brittonii from the southeastern United States by its larger leaves, flowers, and capsules.

- Here I'll write some capsule reviews of these books.
- To help make your decision-making a little easier, here are 25 capsule reviews that separate the essential cinema from the pretenders to the throne.
- I thought the City Paper capsule review was odd, though, in that it slammed the movie for its 'liberal' cliches.
- Inspiration draws from urban warriors re-invented into the subversive capsule collection.
- PVC, hot air balloon fabrics and nylon were all featured in this neat capsule collection of black and white womenswear.
- White vinyl sleep coats, goggles and plastic oversized trousers all feature strongly in this capsule menswear collection.
- Example sentences
- For yuccas, Addicott notes that the baccate (fleshy-fruited) species typically lose more seeds to yucca moth larvae than do the dry-fruited capsular yuccas.
- Different serogroups are distinguished by the composition and structure of their capsular polysaccharides and because the virulence is related to them, they are target for vaccine development.
- Both the strains employed in the present study were of capsule type 2, which is the most common capsular type isolated from patients with pneumonia, urinary tract infections or bacteraemia 21.
- Example sentences
- Cryptococcal rhinitis was diagnosed on finding budding capsulate yeasts in samples of mucopurulent nasal discharge.
- Immunoproteomics, a powerful tool for studying antigens at the proteomic level, allowed a comparative investigation of the immunogenicity of capsulate and non-capsulate strains of L. garvieae for vaccine development.
- Capsulate anaerobes were isolated more frequently from the blood, spleen, liver, and kidneys of infected animals than were non-capsulate organisms.
Late Middle English (in the general sense 'small container'): via French from Latin capsula, diminutive of capsa (see case2).
case from Middle English:
Case 'an instance' is something that happens or befalls, coming via French from Latin casus 'a fall', also the source of casual (Late Middle English). The case meaning 'container' is from Old French casse, the modern forms of which is caisse 'trunk, chest', based on Latin capsa, related to capere 'to hold' ( see capable). Latin capsa is also the base of late Middle English capsule, a general term at first for 'a small container', and cash (late 16th century) originally meaning 'money-box'. The same base gave rise to late Middle English casement, which was first recorded as an architectural term for a hollow moulding.

Fever Plus Mitochondrial Disease Could Be Risk Factors for Autistic Regression
April 19, 2010 at 6:10 pm
Please keep me posted on this research. My son, 13 yrs. old now, has High-functioning Autism. He has gone through so many set backs and struggles everyday to maintain a 'normal' life.
On Nov. 30,09, I found my son unconsious in his room. He had fallen, and we had no idea what had happened. He was in ICU for a week at Dayton Children's Medical (Dayton, OH). They found that he had a staph infection of the inner ear, mastoiditis and inflammation around the brain. He gratefully responded to treatment and was released. On Dec. 24th, he had his tubes in his ears removed. He had no problems from this surgery. The next day, Dec. 24th, he had a seizure and was in the hospital over night and released on Dec. 25th with seizure medication. He recently went off Topamax because it was making him so dizzy and sick.
I am desperate to find a way to help my son. He has suffered to long. His childhood has been extremely traumatic for him, and he needs to have some peace.
Thank you for the wonderful information. I will be following the research closely. Please inform me if there is a chance that my son could participate in any research.

1. Tango at Kensington Market: 11:14
Kensington Market - the downtown center of hippie/street culture - has monthly Pedestrian Sundays, and one of the things I try to catch is the tango practica on the streets. I like tango, and I should get back to doing that. There's something about being able to listen to someone's movements and finding myself moving to the right spot. I haven't danced in a while, so I'm rather rusty. Still, it's tons of fun!
Peer Flach just posted pictures of the last time we danced in Kensington Market. Check them out!

2. Epiphany! Social obligation = t3h c00l: 11:52
Thanks to a conversation with Quinn Fung, I've found a powerful reason that makes N-hour commutes _so_ worth it!
See, one of the reasons why I was dissatisfied with working at the Center for Advanced Studies all the way up in Markham was that it was so quiet. We don't really work in teams, like the way other IBM employees do. We keep to ourselves, working on our little bits of research, and we hardly talk to each other because we don't think anyone else will understand us. <sniff, sniff>
My manager offered to look into moving me to Bloor and Yonge in order to address my commute problem, but reflecting on my options, I felt that the lack of social interaction was what was really bugging me. That wouldn't have been solved by a move to the downtown office. In fact, that would probably have made it worse.
Quinn patiently listened to me sort through how I felt about the situation. She shared how social obligation is often a good way to motivate her to do something, like the way that knowing she has a meeting with someone can help her get out of bed in the morning.
Social obligation. That's it! Aha! <choir singing>
I know what I need to do to make me _excited_ about going to IBM as many times as I need to! All I have to do is make sure that every single lunch time is booked with interesting people! I've blogged about that internally before... I don't have to wait for people to ask me. I can practice shamelessness and go and ask people to lunch! <laugh>
I've promised to work downtown today and Thursday because I'm meeting a couple of people in the area, but I'm looking forward to Friday! I can probably get a list of interns from Uma and work my way through that list, asking people where they're from and what they're learning from IBM so far...
I _still_ want VPN. I think that it'll relieve the pressure I feel about keeping up with what's going on within IBM. I don't think it'll be too distracting. Besides, if I wanted to distract myself, there are a gazillion other ways for me to do so. IBM may as well benefit from me, just as I may as well benefit from establishing contacts and getting people interested in my project.
There: now I have the one thought that I can use to drag myself out of bed... =D Mission: meet and learn from everyone!

It was a real shotgun wedding for newlyweds Eric and Maegan Walber who tumbled into Michigan's Gun Lake along with the rest of their wedding party when the dock they were standing on buckled and broke.
"We were out there for probably 30 seconds, standing on the dock, and it started to lean and tilt," Eric told a local NBC affiliate. He says he could sense what was coming, but by then it was too late to do anything but take the plunge — again.
"Your wedding party falls into a lake at your reception. You can't plan that," said Maegan, who told 24 Hour News 8 she specifically wanted to have the wedding reception at Bay Pointe Inn so she could have pictures taken on the lake.
And she'd do it again: "It makes for a good story," she said. "We'll be telling our grandkids."

Would be very nice if the Growl notification for a new track displayed the track image... :)
See track.getInfo Web Service â" Last.fm
(Preferably large size, to use it in the 'music video' style notification.)
PS: I don't know if it is required, but I wouldn't mind entering an api key in order to enable such a feature.
Awesome app
I've had troubles with scrobbling my iPod touch songs. "No iPod playlists" or something to that effect. Otherwise I love it, I just wish it'd scrobble my iPod stuff
Radio isn't working in 10.6, not sure if it's 10.6 related though.
SnowLeo Compatible (64bit)
News: Last.fm has released Boffin (tech demo) an app that scans and shows the tag cloud of your local music.
(Blog article)
I'm having trouble with the ipod scrobbling. Also, it would be amazing if the app had artwork look-up.
For those using Windows, there's a plugin for foobar2000 that does roughly the same: foo_lastfm_radio.
This means you get with global hotkeys (eg: 'next track', 'pause'), DSP filters, lyrics display, etc.
Excellent little App! Great Work!
I use iScrobbler mainly to submit tracks that I've listened to on my iPod, and I've found that the 2.0 versions are unreliable for this so I've stuck with version 1.5. Version 1.5 does everything I need.

As a PC user, I hate -- a word I use sparingly -- the new interface that is the centerpiece of Windows 8.
With the new version of its flagship operating system, due out Friday, Microsoft has replaced its tried-and-true desktop interface with what it called until recently the Metro interface. Instead of a start button, taskbar and windows filled with applications and folders, Metro features a screen full of program "tiles" and applications that run full-screen.
While I think this interface has a lot of promise for tablets, on a traditional desktop or laptop computer, or even on a newer notebook sporting a touch screen, it's clunky and unintuitive. Metro often feels like a work in progress, because seemingly obvious features are unavailable. And worst of all, Metro makes it much harder than before to do everyday tasks and real work on your computer.
Take the idea of viewing multiple applications on your screen, a core feature of Windows since even before Windows 95. You can't do it in the Metro interface.
Oh, sure, you can split the screen between two -- and only two -- open applications. But this feature, called Snap, is all but worthless.
Microsoft only allows the screen to be split vertically by a predesignated ratio. Supposedly, one application gets a third of the screen and the other two-thirds. Users can't change that ratio so that, say, each application gets half. Nor can they arrange the apps so that one is on top of the other, rather than having them side by side.
What's worse is that, at least on my computer, one-third of the screen was grossly overstating the amount of screen space devoted to the smaller application area; it actually was given less than a fifth of the screen space. Thanks to that, the text on Web pages was either so small as to be unreadable or -- if you zoomed in -- displayed so that you had to constantly scroll left and right to view a whole page.
But you don't just lose actual windows with Windows 8's Metro interface. You also typically lose the standard menu bar long used to interact with and control Windows applications. In its place, you have controls that are accessible only if you know where to swipe or point your mouse. Because the placement of these controls is haphazard and inconsistent, you'll find yourself guessing the location of commands you formerly found easily.
If you want to add an account to the Mail app, for example, you have to bring up what Microsoft calls the "charm bar" and tap on settings. If you want to move a message into a particular folder, you can't drag and drop it; instead, you have to swipe from the top or bottom of the screen, tap on the "move" command, and then tap on a folder.
Thanks in part to these pared-down and hidden controls, the apps that run under Metro often feel like kid versions of older desktop programs. This difference is most notable with the Metro version of Internet Explorer.
Just as Metro doesn't support windowed applications, Metro Internet Explorer doesn't support tabbed browser windows. You can have multiple Web pages open at once, but to view them or switch directly to particular pages, you have to swipe from the top of the screen to get a view of the thumbnails of your open pages.
If you're like me and you've come to depend on tabbed browsing to manage multiple open pages, it's disorienting to not be able to see your open pages and frustrating to have to go through an extra step to access them.
Unfortunately, when it comes to Metro applications in general, you'll find lots missing. At least right now, there's no Photoshop, no Quicken, no iTunes and no Firefox. So, if you use those and other applications, you'll end up spending lots of time in Windows 8's version of the traditional Windows desktop.
That would be OK if you could just boot directly to that desktop. But Microsoft won't allow you to do so; instead, everyone has to use the Metro start screen and will find themselves constantly switching back and forth to the old desktop.
Metro is not all bad for PC users; there are some things I do like about it. One great feature is that on the Metro start screen, you can search for an app by simply typing its name, no need to click on a search bar or a start button.
Another interesting feature is that the application tiles on the start screen act like widgets, displaying up-to-date information, which makes them more useful than the old static program icons.
But for PC users, these types of benefits are far outweighed by the regular frustrations of using Metro. If you want to use Windows 8 on a tablet, it's well made for that purpose. But I'd avoid it on a PC.

What: Microsoft Windows 8
Likes: Ability to search for apps from start screen just by typing; widget-like app tiles, updated appearance
Dislikes: No ability to view multiple app windows at one time; menu bar replaced with inconsistent controls; no way to circumvent Metro at startup; relatively few Metro apps
