Great bundle
Reviewed by David. Review Posted 04/03/2013
Very good bundle at a very good price.
You will not beat the price anywhere and as I said all of the products are top notch.
Paired this with a GTX 650Ti and currently running whatever I feel like running with ease.
All looks nice too and colour scheme matches if you're into that sort of thing.
Very fast delivery, ordered Wednesday and turned up on Friday, typing on said system right now as a matter of fact.
5/5 would highly recommend.

ConsultingMD Aims to Bring Order, Speed to Second Opinions
Owen Tripp is at it again.
The co-founder of Reputation.com has founded and raised funding for a new startup designed to be the Mayo Clinic of the Internet, Venture Capital Dispatch has learned.
The new company, ConsultingMD, allows patients to get second opinions on medical conditions from specialists in roughly 72 hours.
The idea started simply enough.
Tripp, who secured a $1 million round from Harrison Metal last year, was frustrated with what he saw as the lengthy and inefficient process of accessing top medical experts to get a second opinion.
His friend Dr. Lawrence Hofmann was also frustrated. As chief of interventional radiology at Stanford Hospital and an associate professor at the Stanford School of Medicine, Dr. Hofmann, like other top experts in their respective fields, was inundated with requests from patients seeking a second opinion on their condition.
"People from around the world would send boxes and boxes of documents, and CDs and faxes and say, 'Please solve my problem. You are the person to solve it'," said Tripp, noting that the process of collecting and then reviewing paper versions of test results, lab work and other data time was needlessly time-consuming and often pushed turnaround times to as long as six months.
Determining which expert should be contacted (not to mention actually getting an appointment) were additional challenges Tripp said he aimed to solve through technology.
So the pair founded ConsultingMD and, along with a Palo Alto, Calif.-based team of fewer than 50 employees, created a cloud-based platform that makes it easier for doctors and patients alike. Patients fill out a short questionnaire enabling ConsultingMD to collect, digitize and index all relevant medical records and present doctors with complete and easy-to-search data. The information is hosted securely and sent to at least two specialists in the field to review, with one offering an opinion within roughly 72 hours.
Since launching last year, ConsultingMD has signed on more than 200 medical experts including the chief of surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital , as well as professors at university medical schools including Harvard, Georgetown, Duke, Stanford and Cornell who specialize in everything from pediatric cancer and spinal cord injury to deep venous thrombosis.
"If you can present them with a complete package then they can actually work pretty quickly," said Tripp, adding specialists usually complete the work after hours, usually from the comfort of their home using an iPad, and are paid varying rates depending on their expertise.
When the patient gets the second opinion they can either take it back to their doctor or go to a pre-vetted specialist coordinated by ConsultingMD, which also arranges lab work and other follow-up services for no additional fee. Since launching last year, thousands of patients have already signed up for the service, Tripp said, with many paying $3,750 for the full service. Companies pay between $5 and $10 a month per employee and offer it as a benefit.
Euclid, a retail analytics startup based in Palo Alto, signed up for the service as a way to better attract employees, according to Chief Executive Will Smith.
"This is one where we can outdo Google and give them (employees) something that's really different," said Smith, noting he's been surprised at the level of usage by the company's 30 employees on behalf of themselves and their family members.
"The level of care that's provided is unreal. It's the level of care that celebrities get," said Smith, noting he added the benefit at the suggestion of an employee. "To be able to talk to the expert who is top in the field gives you a real peace of mind. When you go to sleep, you do so knowing that no matter how bad the situation is, you've done everything you can do."
Harrison Metal Founder Michael Dearing said he's impressed with the traction ConsultingMD has gathered and the quality of product they now offer.
"The top 1% of physicians give substantially better care and have substantially better information than what's available to the typical family," said Dearing. "The idea of using technology to connect patients directly to those physicians is really compelling. And for the top tier physicians it's compelling too. They are already fielding these requests from all over the world, but they're having to do it in a very haphazard way with emails and faxes."
ConsultingMD, which is preparing to move to bigger offices in coming months, intends to continue expanding both the number of experts on its platform and the number of patients it serves.
Tripp said his company has done little marketing and much of the interest so far has been inbound. He anticipates signing two Fortune 500 companies within the next two quarters and although he could raise additional capital to scale faster he has no immediate plans to do so.
"I'm not feeling any particular urgency on that because we have a ton of capital in the bank," said Tripp. "Right now, our number one focus is expanding our doctor customers and our patient customers."

Should the Wealthy Buy Wild Lands to Save Them?
When one of America's best-known and finest actors, Marlon Brando, bought his own private island in 1966, people generally wrote the news off as just another eccentric act by the rich. Until his death in July 2004 at the age of 80, Brando "owned" Tetiaroa, a 2.5-square-mile atoll in the South Pacific, 37 miles north of Tahiti. (He obtained a 99-year lease to it from the French Polynesian government.)
Brando was a nature purist and hoped Tetiaroa would be part environmental laboratory — mostly for sea turtles — and part modest eco-resort. In a will he signed in 1982, he put Tetiaroa in a trust so it could be preserved for posterity. "If I have my way," he once wrote in a memoir, "Tetiaroa will remain forever a place that reminds Tahitians of who they are and what they were centuries ago." His wish was to keep the island from becoming overly developed and in as natural a state as possible.

Shred and secure-delete: tools for wiping files, partitions and disks in GNU/Linux
I carry a small, laminated card indicating my subscription to the IUSP (International Union of the Super Paranoid, tin hat division). Well, you can't be too careful. After all, we live in a dangerous world and computers are just an extension of that. After you've installed the right operating system--GNU/Linux, of course--secure browsers, rootkit and virus scanners, you might just start to feel secure--and smug. Don't be. Until you have understood and mastered some of these GNU core utilities to securely delete, shred and wipe files, directories, partitions and whole disks you're not in the clear. Why not?
In the last year or so the British press has been full of stories about Government departments and individual employees who have lost laptops and flash sticks. Lost in the post, left on train seats, you name it. Not password protected, not encrypted. Nothing, and you can bet they were all running Windows. A wet dream for anyone trading in identity theft or blackmail. This cavalier approach to computer security should come as no surprise. Most people just want to switch computers them on and use them. Security is usually an afterthought--if at all.

Sandy Hook Report Due Out Monday; 911 Calls Remain Under Seal
Investigators are expected to release a report Monday on last year's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 children and six adults dead.
The report, prepared by lead investigator State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky III, could shed light on questions about gunman Adam Lanza and the emergency response to the Dec. 14 shooting. Monday's release, though, won't include a full Connecticut State Police evidence file believed to be thousands of pages long, a decision that has been criticized by some in Newtown.
Meanwhile, a judge ruled during a brief hearing Monday that 911 calls from the incident will remain under seal at least until he listens to them. State Superior Court Judge Eliot Prescott ruled in New Britain Superior Court that he would issue a decision after he completes his review.
"It will not be today," Judge Prescott said. "But it will be in the near future."
The state Freedom of Information Commission had previously ordered the tapes be released following a request by the Associated Press.
The report comes nearly a year after the tragedy, which made gun violence a priority for the Obama administration and prompted leaders across the country to re-evaluate school safety and gun laws. It is also several weeks after the demolition of the school, done largely in secret, was completed.
Investigators spent nearly a year compiling their report. Lawmakers and open-government groups have criticized the State's Attorney's office for the length of time it took for them to reveal their findings to the public.
Earlier this month, Gov. Dannel Malloy said he was displeased that the report had yet to be released.
Investigators have also come under criticism for media leaks about the case. In March, a senior member of the Connecticut State Police spoke at a police conference in New Orleans about details related to the investigation. An unnamed law-enforcement office leaked info from that off-the-record conference to the news media.
The last official release of information on the shooting came in March. Investigators released the search warrants and affidavits filed in the aftermath of the shooting.
Those records showed that Mr. Lanza began his rampage by shooting his mother with a .22 caliber rifle while she lay in bed. He later drove to Sandy Hook Elementary school where he used a .223-caliber model XM15 semi-automatic rifle.
Mr. Lanza fired 154 rounds during the attack at the school before killing himself with a handgun.

Detectives leading the investigation into the sudden death of a disabled resident in a Randalstown nursing home are still treating it as murder, the Antrim Guardian can reveal.
The probe into the death of former Muckamore Abbey patient Seamus McCollum has been blighted by delays from day one.
The alarm was raised initially in September 2011 when paramedics were called to Maine Private Nursing Home after the 56-year-old was found unresponsive.
At the outset, Mr. McCollum's passing, while sudden, was not considered suspicious. Indeed, it was six months until the P.S.N.I. returned to the premises on the Ahoghill Road.
Investigators revealed that they were spurred into action following the completion of detailed pathologist reports, which expressed "concerns." It is understood that these largely centered on the cause of marks found on the deceased's neck.

A further spate of indiscriminate dumping of the toxic waste from illegal fuel laundering has once again blighted the south Armagh countryside, with at least six incidents occurring throughout the area two weeks ago.
Angry residents, exasperated by a perceived lack of progress by any involved agencies in bringing this practice to an end, have voiced their fury to The Examiner about what some describe as a "hopeless situation, with more and more dumping happening every week."
The latest finds have prompted calls from landowners and local people living in the affected areas for improved government initiatives to be set up, public meetings involving all agencies and governing bodies to be held, as well as more involvement from M.L.A.'s and M.P.'s, the P.S.N.I. and Customs and Excise in searching for plausible solutions to the epidemic.

He descended on Carlow in a blaze of fake tan, tweets and dulcet Geordie tones.
James Tindale, the star of MTV's Geordie Shore, who classes himself as "a professional poser," definitely didn't disappoint Wednesday, September 26 when he made a guest appearance in Scraggs Alley and The Foundry as part of an I.T. Carlow student night.
The Geordie stud was the quintessential nice guy and incredibly patient as he posed for hundreds of snaps with eager fans.

Almost 12 percent of the population in County Cavan are non-Irish nationals, according to the latest analysis of Census 2011.
The Central Statistics Office released the figures today, showing that 8,409 (or 11.6 percent) non-Irish nationals were living in the county at the time of the Census last year.
This is largely in line with the national average of 12 percent.
Of the non-Irish nationals residing in Co. Cavan, 2,118 were U.K. nationals (the largest non-Irish nationality in the county), followed by Polish nationals with 1,889 persons.

Third time was a charm for Bishopstown man Francis Hynes, who was spotted by millions enjoying a spot of golf in his Cork jersey Friday, September 28 at the Ryder Cup. Francis, who was over in Chicago for the week playing golf, made a chance television appearance when he managed to get to the front of the crowd at day one of proceedings at Medinah, much to the amusement of thousands who were watching at home in Ireland.
"I had been at a couple of the practice days with my father," says Francis, "but that particular day I was on my own, I didn't even think about it to be honest with you. I was walking along and a guy with a camera asked if he could get a photo of me and I thought that was it. I also saw three Kerry jerseys and there was a Mayo and a Wexford jersey there as well so it didn't even cross my mind that people at home would see it."
This was Francis's third Ryder Cup and so far luck is on his side as Europe have won the contest each time he has gone, although heading in to Sunday, a win seemed almost impossible.

The North's economic recovery will be damaged if significant upcoming anniversaries are blighted by violence, Martin McGuinness has warned.
The Deputy First Minister said negative headlines about the region would hit the prospects of foreign direct investment.
Mr. McGuinness also told the assembly that work on the long-awaited and, at times, controversial Cohesion, Sharing and Integration (C.S.I.) Strategy was nearing completion.

"I was looking for an invitation for the morning after wedding breakfast for my daughter's wedding. I loved the way this invitation was worded. The breakfast we are hosting is very casual. We want the guests to come in, grab a coffee and a treat, chat for a bit and then go. This invitation said it perfectly"
"Ordered this for the post wedding breakfast. Customer service was great.. helped me change it to say "breakfast" instead of brunch and it came out just beautiful. Free shipping, quick delivery, what more can you want? I love this company!"
"This product was absolutely beautiful. The only flaw was due to my own oversight. I decided to get the shimmery envelopes, and I did not know that my address stamps would bleed into them in a way that they do not with standard paper. But the turnaround time on this was great and the final product was exactly what I wanted."
"I love sights that are user friendly. The ease of ordering was appreciated...I'm busy, helping plan my son's wedding. The product was beautiful in design and the end product. I will definitely tell others about this sight."
"I ordered this card in rich red, since our color-theme for our wedding is cranberry and I wanted the brunch invites to compliment. The invite is beautiful, and the customer service to ensure our information was correct and well placed was above expected! Lovely card, highly recommend!"

Title: The Protector (pictured above)
RT: I was driving from Gardiner to Lamar Valley one morning in April 2011 when I came across this bison cow and calf right along the road at the Phantom Lake turnout.The timing was perfect.I was parked at the turnout, they were right across the road from me and mom was eating what little grass there was on the road side.So I was able to take quite a few shots from my car window. It wasn't until I saw this shot on my laptop that I realized I had a really cool picture with mom exhibiting a very protective stare at me.
YPF: Have you been to Yellowstone on other occasions?
RT: If my friends heard this question, they would be rolling on the floor laughing. I only live about an hour and a half from the West Entrance to the Park.I have been visiting Yellowstone since 1991 and haven't missed a year. My wife and I actually stay in or just outside Yellowstone five or six times a year. I absolutely love this place!
YPF: What is your favorite subject to photograph?
RT: I have to just say "wildlife." It doesn't matter if it's a bird or a mammal.My favorite type of shot is action - I love to catch wildlife on the move.Also, regardless if the subject is in motion or not, I try to catch the subject's eyes.This adds a sort of personalization to the shot and leaves interpretation of the subject's expression up to the person viewing the picture.
YPF: How long have you had an interest in Photography?
RT: Ever since I bought my first manual SLR film camera in 1970 while stationed with the Air Force in Viet Nam. I travelled extensively around the world during my 23 years in the Air Force and felt compelled to take pictures in the many countries I visited.But my real passion started when I first visited Yellowstone in 1991! I immediately fell in love with the diverse wildlife in the Yellowstone ecosystem and cannot help but record everything I see and experience and share it with others.

Is this the year?
Of course not. This is never the year for the Sharks.
They are the vexation dynamos of Northern California sports. Since 2004, they have qualified for the playoffs more often than any other Bay Area pro team. Over that time, they have won more postseason games than the 49ers, Raiders, Giants, A's and Warriors -- combined. And yet they have never won it all. The Stanley Cup has continued to elude the Sharks.
So this obviously won't be their year, either.
Unless ... it is.
Because it could be. Really. No, really. With the precisely right combination of wicked skill, grind-it-out gravel and a little luck, the Sharks could finally break through.
That would be hilarious if it happens, because after so many seasons when they have been the fashionable choice to take the whole thing, no one is picking the Sharks to go all the way. Including me. But everyone said the same stuff about the Los Angeles Kings' chances a year ago. They barely sneaked into the playoffs. Then, stunningly, they went on to win the Cup.
Sharks forward Logan Couture was at home watching on television that night, principally because one of his childhood pals, Drew Doughty, is on the Los Angeles roster.
"I was happy because one of my friends won the Stanley Cup," Couture remembered. "But I was mad because it wasn't us."
He and the other Sharks can take the next step in erasing that anger, starting Tuesday night against those Kings at L.A.'s Staples Center in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals. The Sharks were impressive in their first-round sweep of Vancouver. The Kings, as defending NHL champions, present a far stiffer challenge.
Not an insurmountable one, however. The Sharks split four games against Los Angeles this season. The Sharks won four of six games against the Kings last season. When the teams met in the playoffs two years ago, the Sharks won in six games. Los Angeles could win but won't awe or intimidate.
The NHL might not be America's most popular sports league. But it is the most unpredictable and fickle. Already in this year's playoffs, the second, third and fourth seeds in the Western Conference have been eliminated.
"That's what the NHL is about now," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "I don't know about the other sports. I don't study those leagues. But in our league, it's a race just to get into the playoffs because you know that you will have the opportunity -- if you come together at the right time -- to have some success. Los Angeles proved that last year. Maybe some team can do it this year."
If you're looking for reasons to believe that "some team" might be the Sharks, here they are:
No. Don't want to think too far ahead.
"We've just got to play the way we did the first series," Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic said, before acknowledging, "Once you get hot in the playoffs and if you stay hot, you can go far."
Is this the year? Probably not. But keep an eye on the thermometer. You never know.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
What Is an Ultrasound?
In this article
Many people who hear the term "ultrasound" likely picture a pregnant woman in her doctor's office getting a sneak peek of the baby growing inside her womb -- perhaps even finding out whether she should paint the nursery pink or blue. But while fetal imaging is one of the most common uses of ultrasounds, this diagnostic tool actually has many applications.
How Ultrasound Imaging Works
Ultrasound, also called sonography, uses sound waves to develop ultrasound images of what's going on inside the body. An instrument called a transducer emits high-frequency sound, inaudible to human ears, and then records the echoes as the sound waves bounce back to determine the size, shape, and consistency of soft tissues and organs.
This information is relayed in real time to produce images on a computer screen. Ultrasound technicians, or sonographers, have special training in how to perform the test. Then a radiologist or your doctor will interpret the ultrasound images. This technology can help diagnose and treat certain conditions.
Uses of Ultrasound Tests
Ultrasound imaging has many uses in medicine, from confirming and dating a pregnancy to diagnosing certain conditions and guiding doctors through precise medical procedures.
Pregnancy. Ultrasound images have many uses during pregnancy. Early on, they may be used to determine due dates, reveal the presence of twins or other multiples, and rule out ectopic pregnancies. They also are valuable screening tools in helping to detect potential problems, including some birth defects, placental issues, breech positioning, and others. Many expectant parents look forward to learning the sex of their babies via ultrasound midway through a pregnancy. And later in pregnancy, doctors can even use ultrasounds to estimate how large a baby is just before delivery.
Diagnostics. Doctors employ ultrasound imaging in diagnosing a wide variety of conditions affecting the organs and soft tissues of the body, including the heart and blood vessels, liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, uterus, ovaries, eyes, thyroid, and testicles. Ultrasounds do have some diagnostic limitations, however; sound waves do not transmit well through dense bone or parts of the body that may hold air or gas, such as the bowel.
Use during medical procedures. Ultrasound imaging can help doctors during procedures such as needle biopsies, which require the doctor to remove tissue from a very precise area inside the body for testing in a lab.
Therapeutic applications. Ultrasounds sometimes are used to detect and treat soft-tissue injuries.

The traditional clothes market in South Sudan may at first glance appear slightly monotonous, but a group of young, creative people are adding fashionable elements to make sure this changes.
"We believe in training young people to help them acquire creative skills to design and fabricate marketable fashion," says Ammar Al-Kital, Chief Technical Advisor of the UNIDO project in Juba.
"By doing so, we are supporting the Government of South Sudan in its efforts to secure peace, reduce poverty and foster sustainable social and economic development."
The UNIDO project, "Integration and progress through protection and empowerment of displaced groups in South Sudan" is funded by the Government of Japan.
"Helping develop a marketable fashion with cultural identity is a follow-up course on basic industrial skills provided by the project, such as tailoring, carpentry, welding and construction," says Al-Kital. "We have been encouraging the young 'fashion designers' to blend the country's rich culture into their designs. One can now see a range of elements typical of South Sudan's traditional culture incorporated into the designs."
To-date, three product design workshops have taken place. They featured invited designers, artists and professors.
Participants were trained to use sewing machines, and learnt that even elements of waste like plastic bags, old textiles and paper could be used to produce original works.
Lidwina Dox, an expert in product design, who was also one of the trainers, said that she was surprised by how fast the young people developed their skills. "In the beginning, some participants did not even sew evenly and had to redo their work several times. However, they improved their skills very fast and the quality improved over time. People were highly motivated and they enjoyed the good working atmosphere. They also saw that their work was appreciated and in demand."
Equipped with acquired creative skills in textile design and starter kits that include a sewing machine and materials, participants now have the necessary start-up elements that can help them grow their own businesses.

LEXINGTON Ky. - Kentucky's junior class came to Lexington with three players who had been named the player of the year in the state: Trevor Gott, Corey Littrell and J.T. Riddle.
Each of the three earned a different Kentucky High School Player of the Year award: Gott the Gatorade version, Littrell the Louisville Slugger Player of the Year and Riddle Kentucky High School Coaches Association Mr. Baseball honors.
Flash forward to their junior season in 2013 and each of the three enters the year able to make a strong case that he is the best player, or one of the best players, in the NCAA at his respective position.
Riddle, a native of Frankfort, has been an everyday starter since forcing the coaching staff to find a positional home for him as a true freshman. In 2011, Riddle saw starts at second base and rightfield and showcased what would become his calling card, dynamic defensive ability with jaw-dropping range, arm strength and instincts.
As a freshman Riddle hit .288 in 50 games and 43 starts, with nine doubles, three homers and 25 RBI. After earning all-star starting honors at shortstop in the Great Lakes League during the 2011 summer, Riddle continued his development into a sophomore campaign.
The 6-foot-3, 185-pound left-handed hitter, started all 63 games at second base in 2012, forming a lock-down defensive duo with shortstop Matt Reida. The pair of middle infielders helped the Wildcats shatter the school record for fielding percentage (.976), with both ranking among the UK all-time leaders in defensive assists at their positions.
"It is really the core of our whole defense, to be good up the middle," Riddle said. "Of course the catching position and then the middle infield and the outfield can have a big impact on the type of defensive team you have. Matt and I have played a whole season up the middle together and are now juniors. Because we have played a lot since our freshman year, we have a lot of experience, know what to expect in the SEC. We have both improved so much over the last two years and this past fall."
At the plate as a junior, Riddle hit .279 with 12 doubles, one triple, five homers and 38 RBI, adding a .260 average in 30 SEC games. He finished with 19 two-out hits, 12 two-out RBI and a .347 on-base percentage.
After the year, Riddle continued to break out on the prospect map as a future top-five round MLB Draft pick. He hit .232 in 38 games in the Cape Cod League for Orleans, with seven doubles, two triples, two homers and 15 RBI. Most impressively, Riddle led the Cape Cod League in defensive assists, despite playing second base every day for the Firebirds.
"It was a great experience for me," Riddle said. "It got me away, really for the first time, away from family and friends. Got to play the game, get to know some new friends up there and enjoy the experience of playing against the best college players in the nation. It really helped me improve and realize where I stand at and that I can play with the best of the best."
Riddle returned to Lexington for the fall semester and focused on adding strength to his projectable frame and helping the team build on its great chemistry from 2012.
"It helps so much because baseball is such a team sport," Riddle said. "If you don't have that chemistry then you aren't going to be successful. Last year, the whole team bonded really good, had great chemistry together and we had the best season in the history of the program. Our chemistry is great right now and it needs to stay like that all the way through June."
He had a great fall practice season and is poised to not only continued his success at the plate and in the field, but emerge as a more vocal leader for a preseason top-10 ranked UK club.

Liverpool Message Board
I'm probably going to get banned for this, so if you guys never hear from me again that's why... But I think it's fair to say that we've all expressed our displeasure with this new format, we've also tried to adapt and try to work with it, and it's just getting WORSE!
You can't post in response to a previous post, your posts are out of order, they are not in the same time period, they often don't show up until 3-4 comments after you've said your piece..
Please change this! It may have been old and even "out of date " but we used it, liked it and it worked.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Having discussed the matter in depth with Yahoo staff I have been told that they can't find the complaints on the board in order to read or reply to them.

Hobitez....just goes to show how useless their format is then doesnt it if they themselves cant find all the complaints that have been put up here I mean whats the title of this thread and how many of the posts on it are doing anything but complain about this new format for the board ? Im afraid Im not computer literate enough to contact them inthe manner u did but perhaps u can refer them back to this thread if u contact them again ? Just incase u do here is my complaint again....Yahoo please can u return our old format for this board this one is far less than useless or if not possible to return the old format can u please supply something that functions rather than this old jalopy that someone in u offices has foisted upon us in their wisdom ?
Jason...100% agree with u this new format is useless...Ive tried my best to adapt but so often u cant reply to a post u found interesting because that particular post has no reply facility attached ?
Ive been on the verge of quitting altogether as i found it so frustrating but in a sense I do feel unlike so many other overcrowded boards we are a sort of exclusive club here...so I hung in and tried to find solutions even though at one point none of my posts were posting up ? I think we just have to accept that Yahoo are totally unresponsive and impervious to any complaint made by any of us.

Yahoo! Please get your thumbs out of your @rses and listen to your faithful regular users. The old format was fine, then you decide to give Armchair the job of 'improving' the boards!
Sort it out!!!!!
Has anyone been on other clubs' boards to see if other fans hate this format too?
I can't figure out what they're trying to do with it. As you say the format makes no sense whatsoever, it's incredibly frustrating to use and in no way promotes good discussion and / or debate. I can think of many other forum formats that are a million miles better than this.
I've no problem in moving away from the last forum but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us something that works. Is that asking too much? This is like driving car in reverse everywhere.

Yahoo...please PLEASE whoever is reading this in u offices if any of u are responsible for the implementation of this new and unimproved board format then please can u RESPOND and give us back our old board format or at least give us a new board format that actually functions instead of this broken down old jalopy u have foisted on us all....this can hardly be the kind of word of mouth publicity u company seeks ?

And there I was thinking Yahoo's CEO making all her employees work in the office was an attempt to improve their services, while maybe as an act of revenge they are just making online services like this harder to use so the rest of us don't enjoy bunking off work to post on message boards while at the office!

The Navy has canceled remaining 2013 performances of the Blue Angels because of federal budget cuts, meaning the elite aerial demonstration team will not be headlining this year's Fargo AirSho as planned.
AirSho committee co-chairman Dick Walstad calls it a "huge blow." He tells The Forum newspaper that officials are looking at the possibility of holding a fly-in of World War II warbirds to complement the air show performers who are already signed to contracts.
The Aug.10-11 event also will feature the dedication of a new wing at the Fargo Air Museum.
The Blue Angels were the top act at the last Fargo AirSho, in 2011.

How To Buy Saltwater Rods
Finding a rod to go saltwater fishing starts with three basic considerations: your experience, your preferred way of fishing and the type of fish you're after. You then have a choice of several styles of rods to get the job done.
How to buy saltwater rods
There are two main types of rods--baitcasting and spinning. The type of rod you buy depends as much on the reel you buy as the type of fishing that you plan to do.
Length & weight
Length and weight depend of the type of fish that you want to catch and your fishing style. Typically, the bigger the fish, the longer the cast so the longer the rod.
Lure/Line weight
Most rods today are made from either graphite or fiberglass, or a composition of these two materials.

SANTA CLARA -- Missy Franklin was smiling and giggling because, well, that is who she is.
But the four-time Olympic gold medalist wasn't thrilled Saturday night after a mistake at the end of the 200-meter backstroke at the Arena Grand Prix Santa Clara.
Franklin, 19, is the Olympic champion and world-record holder in the event.
But the Cal sophomore was only third at the George F. Haines International Swim Center after hitting her hand on a lane line with 20 meters left.
"Her ego hurt more than her hand," Cal teammate Caitlin Leverenz said.
Florida's Elizabeth Beisel won the race in a time of 2 minutes 9.11 seconds -- 45 minutes after an impressive victory in the 400 individual medley.
Cal's Elizabeth Pelton was second in 2:09.73 with Franklin touching the wall .13 of a second behind her Bears teammate.
"It's pretty shocking," Franklin said of the mishap.
But she hopes the episode helps her become more aware of her surroundings in future races.
"I won't hit my hand at nationals," Franklin said.
It wasn't all bad for America's swim star. She won the 200 freestyle in an event that highlighted the strength of Bay Area swimming.
Franklin cruised to victory in 1:56.96, followed by incoming Cal freshman Cierra Runge of North Baltimore Aquatics. Incoming Stanford freshman Simone Manuel was third, and the Bears' Pelton was fourth.
But it was two-time Olympian Beisel who highlighted the night. Her time in the 400 IM of 4:33.53 was six seconds ahead of Becca Mann. It also was Beisel's best in-season time by a whopping six seconds.
Beisel, who was second in the 400 IM in the London Games in 2012 and fourth in Beijing in 2008, wasn't prepared to say she is ready for the U.S. championships, Aug. 6-10 at Irvine. But it sure seemed that way.
"Maybe it's just a good weekend," she said. "I'll take these times."
Michael Phelps is starting to feel as if he is having a good weekend, too.
He finished second to Olympic champion Yannick Angel of France in the 200 freestyle. Conor Dwyer took third in a successful showing of North Baltimore club training partners.
Angel won in 1:46.99 with Phelps following in 1:48.20, just ahead of Dwyer .16 of a second behind.
Phelps saw big progress in the third meet of his comeback.
"The first 50 felt really good," he said.
After 100 meters, Phelps was pleased he still was "holding it together."
Same feeling a half lap later. Then he kicked off the wall on the final turn to sprint home.
"I had nothing," Phelps said. "I felt like 10 grand pianos were on my back."
But as coach Bob Bowman said, three-quarters of the race his swimmer was excellent. That amounts to progress in Phelps' recent comeback since retiring after the 2012 Summer Olympics.
"He knows what he needs to do," the coach added.
Phelps has about six weeks to get ready for the national meet that will serve as a qualifier for the Pan-Pacific Championships in August and, more important, the 2015 World Championships.
"He's getting back in shape," Angel said. "I know he can race me to the end."
Phelps, who turns 29 at the end of the month, plans to conclude the Santa Clara meet Sunday with his first 200 IM since the London Games.
It also will be the first time the world's most famous swimmer has used the backstroke and breaststroke in a race since that 200 IM in London.
When will Phelps begin to taper, or rest, for the U.S. championships?
"That was last year," Bowman said of the time away from the pool.
"It's starting to get real."

Apple Gives OS X Yosemite More iOS Flavor
Today Apple introduced OS X Yosemite, the follow-up to OS X Mavericks. After joking that the rejected California geographical nicknames included OS X Rancho Cucamonga and OS X Weed, Software Engineering SVP Craig Federighi showed off the new Mac operating system.
The key to the new look and feel is a flatter, cleaner look, employing the translucence previously seen on iPhones and iPads in iOS 7.
Many of the familiar apps have icon redesigns, including what Federighi called the "gorgeous new trash can."
Three exceptional new features:
- For people who want to focus on work, there's a "dark mode" – the menu bar up top turns dark gray, with lighter gray text and icons.
- The notification center has an iOS-like "today view," capable of showing notifications from third-party apps you download from the Mac App Store, and other custom information from widgets.
- Spotlight, the local Mac search, now includes content from the Internet. The search has been redesigned, too, with a big search field right in the middle of the screen, and faster shortcuts to launch apps and preview documents.
If you're looking for more information on OS X Yosemite, here's Apple's huge new info page. And don't forget to check our live blog from today's Apple Worldwide Developers Conference keynote.

- Apple Unveils Operating Software for Macs
- Can HomeKit Win the Smarthome Wild West?

KisMAC is a free, open source network stumbler that operates in passive mode, allowing the program to run completely invisibly without sending any probe requests (unlike active scanners).
In addition to standard stumbler logging and graphing features, KisMAC reveals cloaked SSIDs and can perform deauthentication, packet injection, and several other attacks against WEP/WPA encrypted packets. GPS mapping is also included.
KisMAC is the only stumbler to support Apple's Airport Extreme card in passive mode. It is also compatible with original Airport cards and several third party cards (see website).
Required OS: 10.6

Glad to see they're still working on this. It used to crash constantly on my MBP but after trying out the the latest version (R228) for a few days it has been extremely solid and works well.
This is a useful utility for wardriving/stumbling/whatever they call it these days.
Beware. This can f@#$ up your Wi-Fi card. Shut off ALL internet apps before running.
I didn't know this, and panicked when I closed it for the first time and my Airport card ceased to function. A restart got my Airport back to working order, but now I can't get KisMAC to work. Oh well.
Does anybody know wheter is is universal. It doesn't run on my Intel ® Mac... strange thing!
SVN version works on second-generation (Merom) Macbooks.
Required an OSX Reinstall to get AE Passive Mode working, but the new option of enabling it permanently should remove any headaches.
If you're having trouble with the app, refer here.
I messed up my wireless card with this :(
It's a very handy tool to see all the wireless networks in an area. However, my Airport Extreme card still can't do any of that fancy packet reinjection or authentication flood stuff, even in passive mode.
Uses its own drivers to stumble. Not a bad thing, but when I first installed it my mac would not connect with its drivers and then lost my airport card. I uninstalled out of fear, but was then told that restarting my machine after installation would have helped. I look forward to a more stable release.
Fantastic utility, very useful for finding aps while travelling, especially for dicovering maximum signal. Latest dev builds are intel mac compatible. Visit the IRC chatroom with any questions, I'm a mod there.

The Starting Gun for 2014 GOP Primaries
Capital Journal: How the GOP Could Take the Senate
Republican leaders have spent much of the past 18 months trading barbs with conservative groups about the direction of the GOP. On Tuesday, voters get a say.

Primaries in Indiana, North Carolina and Ohio represent the first serious test of which faction holds the balance of power inside the Republican Party. The outcome of these contests will determine whether the pragmatists or the purists hold more sway.
Republican primary voters in North Carolina will cast ballots to determine which candidate they want running against Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan in the fall. The so-called "establishment" pick, state House Speaker Thom Tillis, has led every poll taken in the race, and the latest public-opinion surveys put him right on the cusp of winning the 40% he needs to avoid a two-month runoff.
Further down the ballot in North Carolina, longtime Republican Rep. Walter Jones also faces a number of challengers, including former Bush administration official Taylor Griffin, who is backed by a number of Bush alums and former congressional staffers. The outcome is viewed as a test of establishment's ability to dethrone an incumbent who regularly bucks party leaders.
There are a handful of other primaries in the state, and the next most compelling contest is that to see which Republican has the inside track to replace retiring Democratic Rep. Mike McIntyre. GOP leaders and their outside allies have tried to tip the scales in favor of former state Sen. David Rouzer, who fell less than 700 votes shy of beating Mr. McIntyre in 2012, so the outcome should prove telling.
The stakes aren't quite as high in Ohio. House Speaker John Boehner faces a pair of nominal challengers but isn't in danger of losing. Rep. David Joyce does have a serious race on his hands, courtesy of state Rep. Matt Lynch and his conservative supporters, but the U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently endorsed the congressman and has spent $350,000 on television ads propping him up.
The primaries Tuesday set the stage for a busy month of competitive nominating contests:
Next week, voters in Nebraska pick someone to replace retiring Republican Sen. Mike Johanns in a crowded, highly contentious race. Conservative groups initially backed different candidates but have since rallied behind Ben Sasse, a former Bush administration official.
Three marquee contests fall on May 20. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) and veteran Rep. Mike Simpson (R., Idaho) are both expected to repel conservative opponents. In Georgia, Republicans will cast ballots in the first round of voting to replace retiring GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss.
On May 27, 91-year-old Republican Rep. Ralph Hall (R., Texas) tries to protect the seat he has held since 1981 from former U.S. Attorney John Ratcliffe in a runoff.
And eight states hold primaries on June 3. Voters in Mississippi will decide the political fate of six-term Republican Sen. Thad Cochran. In Iowa, GOP voters will start winnowing the crowded primary field, and possibly pick a nominee to square off against Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley in November.
Republicans can't focus solely on the general election until these primaries are behind them, and if party leaders are correct, the winners will go a long way in determining how competitive those fall contests become.

Qiagen and Bayer team up for CDx
26.10.2012 - Pharma giant Bayer Healthcare and diagnostics specialist Qiagen N.V.
have forged an alliance in the field of companion diagnostics (CDx).
Initially, the joint efforts will concentrate on several types of solid tumours. But the agreement also lays the groundwork for a strong partnership in creating future companion diagnostics both inside and outside of oncology. The targeted companion diagnostics will be designed to run on Qiagen's QIAsymphony line of automated instruments. In addition, the partners said that they will collaborate on developing technologies for patient profiling, which may result on research-use-only products for exploratory and translational medicine, said Qiagen.
"As healthcare providers increasingly select the right drugs based on each individual's genomic information, the treatment of cancer is undergoing a revolution," said Helge Lubenow, Senior Vice President Molecular Diagnostics Business Area and Member of the Executive Committee of Qiagen. Companion diagnostics guide treatment decisions with medications for cancers or other diseases by unlocking molecular information from each patient's tumour genome. "This helps to design more efficient clinical trials and to increase the overall probability of therapeutic success for patients suffering from cancer," said Andreas Busch, Head of Global Drug Discovery and Member of the Executive Committee of Bayer HealthCare.
Qiagen has more than 15 companion diagnostic collaborations ongoing with pharmaceutical and biotech companies. A major milestone was reached in July, on FDA approval of Therascreen RGQ PCR Kit. The companion diagnostic is used to screen for those metastatic colorectal cancer patients who most likely respond to therapy with Erbitux (cetuximab).
