Under one title, Craig Cameron brings together a thorough look at horses and their nature and good, solid horsemanship skills that suit both novice and experienced riders. The book is divided into sections, each dealing with a different aspect of horsemanship. The first delves into the psychological and physical realities of horses as a species and how man can best understand them to develop a positive, partnering relationship with them. Other sections cover groundwork, including early handling, round-pen exercises, and riding techniques that enable the horse to perform basic as well as intricate maneuvers. Each chapter includes interesting sidebars that complement the main text. Sidebars include "True Story," an anecdote or story that relates to the chapter's subject matter; "Here's How," a tip that pertains to the chapter's focus, and "A Better Way," a troubleshooting section that offers a step-by-step exercise people can do to work the horse through a problem noted in the chapter.. Price: $14.26

It's A Wonderful Life 2 moving ahead
Oh crikey. They're doing a sequel to It's A Wonderful Life. We're not making this up. We wish we were.
Sometimes, we talk on this site about unnecessary sequels, reboots and brand extensions. But surely, we've never covered anything to leave quite the foul taste of this one.
Sitting down? Because plans are afoot for a sequel to Frank Capra's It's A Wonderful Life. Forgive the terminology, but we shit you not.
The project has been started over at Star Partners and Hummingbird Productions, and they're teaming up for It's A Wonderful Life: The Rest Of The Story. Because we've all got to the end of the original and wondered what happens next, clearly. Sigh.
It's at times like this that we think Joe Dante got it bang on the money with the Clamp Cable Network in Gremlins 2.
The new film will focus on the grandson of George Bailey. Said grandson is set to be called - yep - George. Karolyn Grimes, who appeared in the original as Bailey's daughter will be an angel this time, in what sounds like a half-baked re-run of the original. Grimes did say that "the new film will retain the feeling of the original, and it simply must be shared".
This isn't even a straight to DVD effort. The plan is to have the film in cinemas for the end of 2015.
Appreciating we're supposed to be constructive and objective when it comes to reporting projects such as these, may we simply borrow the words of the wise Doctor Emmett Brown: "why?".
Still, it might go on to be an Oscar winning classic, and in two years' time, we're eating our words. For now though, we feel just a little bit sick. What next? Shawshank 2?

Knackered 300 tdi engine?
Posted 05 August 2012 - 06:19 PM
Over the last 2000 miles the noise has developed. The tappety noise is still present in the top of the engine, but there is now a more sort of clump clump noise coming from further inside It sounds much clearer when i took the intercooler pipe off. There is a fair bit of oil in the intercooler pipe too.
I have uploaded a video to youtube which i took on my phone and the noise is very clear.
What is the general consensus of opinion please? terminal?
Oh, and if you don't want to explain to SWMBO why you have a giant love bite on your hand then take my advise and don't put your hand over the intake pipe of a running tdi
Regards, Steve

To cut a long story short, when I took the head off later, because of a blowing head gasket, I found the rocker shaft had broken into two pieces through an oil way under one of the retaining caps - no reason for it that I could find - but it did cause the car to be down on power.
Sorry, I can't help on your other problems.

if you cant feel the air being pushed out, move your hand around to the manifold area, and then round to the front area. (although they tend to go right at the back)

A much duller and deeper noise main bearings are.

Fair enough, I've only heard a knackered big end bearing in motorcycle engines where there is a lot less mass to absorb the noise.

Something which is rare but happens is that the inlet valve - usually in No 1 - wears into the seat and eventually blows back into the inlet manifold on the compression stroke producing pretty much exactly that sound out the intercooler hose. If you do a compression test it should show as one cylinder will be down which will be the culprit but every one I've seen has always been No 1. I guess I saw about half a dozen in fifteen years working as spawn of Satan. No idea what causes it - excretus occurus I guess.
The other thing that can make nasty noises vaguely like that is if the head gasket is leaking between two cylinders, which can have no external symptoms apart from the noise and a lack of power. The bothersome thing about that particular problem is that if you leave it too long the combustion gases chuffing back and forth carve a nice little channel into the alli head and then you need a new one...
Hard to be sure but my guess is that tickety rattle could be either the vacuum pump or the lift pump as either can make that sort of orrible noise. Mechanic's stethoscope is magic for tracking those down.

Cost of Living
The Cost of Living: That Air You Breathe Doesn't Come Cheap
Everything has a price. That concert ticket required you to open your wallet, and your last date with the cutie in physics set you back a week's pay at your part-time job.
Even the stuff you aren't paying cash for cost someone something. That painful root canal? Yeah, you (or your parents) paid for that with insurance, probably. The free concert you attended last month? Paid by business sponsors. Even the streets you walk on and the free stuff you get (like a public school education) are paid by taxes.
The cost of just living in a place and paying for all the basics is called "the cost of living," and it's really different depending on where you live. In 2014, USA Today USA Today reported that you need to be earning $124,561 to live comfortably in San Francisco, which the newspaper ranked as the city with the highest cost of living. The same year, Harlingen, Texas was ranked as the place with the lowest cost of living. There, professionals could earn 17% less than the national average and still live well.
It works around the world, too. Deciding to settle down in London, England, or Japan will cost you a lot more than deciding to live in Nicaragua or Bulgaria.
Tallying up Costs of Living
Why does it cost so much more to live in Los Angeles or Dallas than it does to live in Lawrence, Kansas or a smaller city? Why does a house in the U.S. cost $300,000 or so while the same price gets you a fancy villa in Nicaragua? Cost of living depends on lots of stuff, including:
- Demand. If you want to star on Broadway, you're probably headed for the Big Apple. Trouble is, lots of other people have the same dream or want to live in New York City because they want to be fashion designers…or JLo. Lots of people in one city means that eventually there's not a lot of room—which is why everyone who wants in is willing to pay $3,000/month for an apartment the size of a bed frame.
- Wages. A city with a lot of wealth and high-paying jobs means that more people are able to afford more. Ta-da! Property owners are willing to oblige by charging more and the cost of living goes up.
- Taxes. Paying a lot to The Man means that you have less left over from your paycheck to pay for stuff. But it can also mean that there are more social services and so-called free stuff (that you've paid with your taxes) so it can cost less to live. This tax thing is something of a balance.
- Space. When everyone is trying to jam themselves into a tiny physical area (think Manhattan or Bel Air), the area becomes exclusive, the cost of living goes up, and soon only celebs and Fortune 500 types in suits can afford to live there.
- The cost of necessities. Food, clothing, apartments, toothbrushes, Netflix: you probably rely on a lot of stuff to get by. When the cost of basics like food dips low, the cost of living goes down.
- Real estate costs. A lot of things can drive up the cost of houses and apartments. College towns have lots of students looking to rent, so prices tend to increase. If oil is found in a town, the value of real estate there goes sky high (hello, Beverly Hillbillies). When the cost of buying or renting a house goes up, so does the cost of living.
- Transportation. If a place is really remote, everything needs to be flown in—from poker chips to milk. If a place is easily reached by boat, train, or truck, then the cost of getting stuff to your local stores is less and you pay less for what you buy. That's why a single melon costs $16 in Nome, Alaska, but probably only costs a few bucks if you live in Idaho or Georgia.
Why Should You Care About Cost of Living?
It costs what it costs to live wherever you live—whether that's Connecticut or Dallas or Timbuktu. So why should you care?
Understanding the cost of living can help you make decisions about your job. If you're living in New York and Chicago, you're going to have to earn more at your job (even if you don't mind living with six roommates and two dogs) than you would in smaller city in Texas.
Even the government cares about cost of living. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is always busy tallying up the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures how much basic necessities cost. This information is used when deciding what a fair wage looks like and when the government decides which social benefits are fair. It can also be used to talk about inflation. You can feel free to drop "CPI" into conversations if you just want to sound like a future MBA. That's okay, too.
Here's another reason to sit up and take notice: You can get more bang for your buck, in some cases, if you're willing to move.
Let's say you start a business making the most amazing phone cases anyone has ever seen. Kanye is on the phone, sobbing because he wants one so bad, and you tell him "I'll think about it, sweetie" because you're already rolling in millions.
Life is good. But that $5 million in Los Angeles may just buy you a little bungalow. Head a few states over to Colorado, where the cost of living is lower, and you could be living it up on hundreds of acres and a ranch house bigger than a city block.
Your $5 million might make you a small business in a big city and really, really rich somewhere where costs of living are lower. Plus, if you move your fabulous phone case operation to another city or another state, you may spend less on your factory, marketing, and everything else you need to run your business, so you can become even wealthier.
Whether or not that's worth it is up for you to decide.

KOLKATA: The outbreak of dengue has triggered diagnostic device companies into action. While dengue detection kits are fast flying off the shelves, the companies are witnessing sales growth upwards of 200%. With no domestic manufacturer dotting the scene, local allies of MNC kit makers are now busy ensuring there is no shortage of stocks.
Normally, sales of dengue diagnostic kits picks up between June and October. "This year, sales have gone up three-fold. The awareness about dengue is higher, even amongst physicians, which has led to an unexpected demand for kits," Rajesh Shah, senior manager, Casil Health Products, told ET. Casil, a subsidiary of Cadila Pharmaceuticals, is the sole licencee for sale of Australian diagnostic company Panbio's dengue detection kits in India.

About the International Legal Metrology Program
The International Legal Metrology Program (ILMP) is part of the Office of Weights and Measures within NIST's Physical Measurements Laboratory.
What is Legal Metrology?
Legal Metrology is the practice and process of applying statutory and regulatory structure and enforcement to metrology.
What We Do
The primary mission of the International Legal Metrology Program (ILMP) is to facilitate U.S. participation in the technical work of the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML), a treaty organization that develops voluntary standards (called Recommendations) intended to be used to harmonize national legislation among Member States in areas where regulated instruments and measurements are involved. The Program coordinates the participation of U.S. manufacturers, users of weighing and measuring instruments, legal metrology officials and other U.S. stakeholders in the technical work of OIML by circulating draft Recommendations and other OIML publications for comment, and by leading U.S. delegations to OIML Technical Meetings. Through authority delegated by the U.S. State Department, the Program votes on OIML technical matters, including at the level of the International Committee of Legal Metrology (CIML), which is the technical and administrative oversight body of OIML. The Program also maintains liaisons with several national, regional, and international organizations, and actively participates in two Regional Legal Metrology Organizations (RLMOs), the Asia Pacific Legal Metrology Forum (APLMF) and the Inter-American Metrology System (SIM).

Elizabeth, Carson were also on Lennon killer's hit list
"I had a hit list of people and he was at the top of the list," the Daily Mail quoted him as telling the parole hearing. "If it wasn"t Lennon it would have been someone else," he added. The cold-blooded killer inisisted he had forgotten earlier claims that he also had another ex-Beatle, Paul McCartney and former First Lady Jackie Onassis in his sights.
Asked how he selected the names, he said: "They are famous – that was it. It wasn"t about them necessarily. It was just about me." He said he killed Lennon because 'he seemed more accessible'. "I found out what building he was at and went to that building. It wasn't quite as cloistered as some of the other people might have been."
Chapman, 55 and in his 30th year in jail, made it clear that he was feeling suicidal - but used that rage to instead kill someone other than himself. Instead of taking my own life, I took somebody else's," he admits, calling it 'unfortunate'. "I thought there was a chance might get shot. I wasn't really too concerned about that," he added.
Chapman is next viable to request parole in 2012.

Gallery: Homeland Security Protest
SAN BERNARDINO - Several protesters were arrested after the street in front of the Department of Homeland Security's field office was blocked during an immigration protest, police said.
And by declaring they were in the country illegally, the protesters put themselves squarely in the path of policies that check the immigration status of people arrested for other crimes and enable their deportation.
A group of about 35 protesters said they were tired of hiding the fact that their parents illegally brought them to the country as children, saying they consider themselves Americans.
"No papers, no fear - immigrants are marching here," they chanted, circling several seated illegal immigrants in the middle of Rialto Avenue.
According to protest organizers, 10 of the 12 people they said were arrested could face deportation and two were U.S. citizens.
The protest opposed the Secure Communities program, which sends fingerprints taken during the booking process to Immigration and Custom Enforcement - part of the Department of Homeland Security - to prioritize the deportation of repeat immigration violators and those who pose a threat to public safety, according to ICE.
"The only thing I've ever asked for in this country is a better education," Ruben Barrera, a Los Angeles resident and an illegal immigrant, said before he was arrested.
Several of those arrested were from the Inland Empire, with others coming from the greater Los Angeles area.
Police warned the protesters several times in English and Spanish they would be arrested if they didn't move to the sidewalk. After the warning, most left the street and watched as the remaining protesters were put into police cars.
Other chants opposed "racist police" and compared police to immigration authorities, calling both "porqueria" - Spanish for trash.
Another program being protested, 287(g), sets up a partnership between ICE and some law enforcement agencies, including the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Virginia Kice said the agency supported the right of people to voice their opinion without interference.
"We recognize that our nation's broken immigration system requires serious solutions, and we fully support comprehensive immigration reform efforts," she said. "While we continue to work with Congress to enact reform, ICE remains committed to sensible, effective immigration enforcement that focuses first on convicted criminal aliens who pose a threat to public safety."

Chad Boutin
Committee will advise NIST director on Smart Grid programs and activities
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has named 15 leaders from a cross-section of U.S. industry, academia, and trade and professional organizations to serve on its newly formed Smart Grid Advisory Committee, which convenes its first meeting on Sept. 29, 2010.
"We will benefit greatly from the knowledge and insights of this diverse group of experts," said NIST Director Patrick Gallagher. "We are grateful for their willingness to serve and to share their thinking on how NIST can maximize its technical contributions to modernizing and securing the nation's electric power grid."
The new committee will advise Gallagher on the direction of NIST's Smart Grid-related programs and activities. NIST leads a nationwide effort to expedite development of consensus interoperability standards that enable two-way flows of energy and information on the Smart Grid. NIST also conducts Smart Grid research and testing programs on cyber security and advanced performance-monitoring devices known as synchrophasors, energy management systems for buildings, and other topics.
Under the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, NIST has "primary responsibility to coordinate development of a framework that includes protocols and model standards for information management to achieve interoperability of smart grid devices and systems." For more information, go to: http://www.nist.gov/smartgrid/index.cfm)

A developer will not be building a new shopping center at a West Chester Township intersection, at least not yet.
After hearing from residents Monday night, the township zoning commission ruled the cornfield at the intersection of Tylersville Road and Princeton-Glendale Road should not have its zoning changed.
The township's trustees can override the decision, but it requires a unanimous vote.
A Blue Ash developer wants to build Crossings of Beckett, which would be anchored by a 133,000-square-foot Kroger Marketplace and fuel center.
Opponents from the area surrounding the intersection said they believed the shopping center would have a negative impact on their neighborhoods.
The developer can bring a revised plan back before the commission.

Better living through nature
by Heidi Cardenas
Heidi Cardenas, Saponaria Officinalis, Soapwort, Natural Cleanser, Laundry Detergent, Tips
Heidi Cardenas is a freelance writer and gardener in Lake County, Illinois, with a background in human resources. She has written about gardening for various online venues and enjoys The Herb Companion's valuable resources.
I recently saw soapwort mentioned in The Moneyless Man by Mark Doyle. Doyle described how he might possibly wash dishes and clothes during his self-imposed year without money. This made me curious. After researching this herb I've decided to grow it this year. I really like the idea of going out to the garden, picking a couple of leafy branches off an herb plant, and using them to wash my hair, give the dog a bath or wash laundry.
Soapwort Description: This herb has been used through the centuries as a cleaning agent and medicinal plant. Saponaris officinalis is most commonly known as soapwort, but it is also known as bouncing bet, farewell summer, fuller's herb, lady's washbowl, sweet william, latheroot and old maid's pink. Soapwort is an herbaceous perennial related to carnations and native to the temperate areas of Europe, Asia and North America. It grows in the wild in open areas of forests and glens, reaching up to 2 feet high with oval shaped leaves and small, fragrant pink five-petalled flowers that have a light fruity scent. It is grown commercially for its saponin content, which is a lathering agent used in cleansers and beer production.
Cultivation and Harvesting: Sow soapwort seeds in spring when the soil has warmed up or plant root sections. Soapwort grows best in sandly soil and suffers in wet conditions or heavy soil. Seeds sprout easily in warm, moist garden beds in partial shade or bright filtered light to sunny locations. The seedlings grow quickly with consistent watering and well-drained soil without much other attention, and mature plants spread through creeping underground rhizomes. It can get out of control and become invasive so using controls such as planting in garden containers or sinking barrier borders are recommended. Snip or pinch flowers from plants for salads, garnishes and summer drinks. Dig up roots in early autumn for use in cleaning preparations. Pick green plant parts like leafy branches all season long to use in cleaning solutions. Soapwort multiplies quickly and after a few years growth, harvesting roots by pulling up every third plant is recommended. A mature stand of soapwort will supply gardeners with a consistent supply of natural cleansing matter.

Medicinal, Personal Care and Culinary Uses: Soapwort's historical uses include cleaning sheep wool before shearing, washing newly-woven cloth to thicken it (where it gets its associated name fuller's herb from the process called fulling) and treating skin afflictions. Growers can use it to make a natural, gentle cleansing lather by swishing bruised leaves in warm water or mixing powder from dried roots in hot water. Some easy recipes for soapwort include mixing soapwort and chamomile flowers for a mild natural shampoo, adding a few drops of essential oil of lavender to a soapwort preparation to wash baby clothes and delicate laundry items, and combining mint foliage and soapwort foliage or roots for a gentle pet bath preparation. Cut open a large aloe vera spear and squeeze out the natural gel-like substance to add to soapwort shampoo preparations and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to scent soapwort wash preparations.
Soapwort medicinal treatments include liquid decoctions made by steeping foliage and roots in hot water or making poultices or compresses from blanched leaves to soothe and clear skin rashes, poison ivy and acne. Soapwort is used in herbal preparations for cough remedies but should be used with care as it can be irritating when ingested.
To use in food, add soapwort flowers to fruit salads and sweet dishes, aspics and summer drinks like lemonade.

"Colonial Suchitoto" Top 5 Page for this destination Suchitoto by MarcG
Suchitoto Travel Guide: 23 reviews and 85 photos
Suchitoto is located about 90 mins. from San Salvador and is a lovely colonial town, where time seems to have really stopped.
Santa Lucia church in the main square is the centre of activities: ... cobblestone streets .... colonial houses .... lakes ... horse back riding .... mountains .... scenery .... history.
The Town of Suchitoto, which means "The Place of the Birds and Flowers" in N�huat, the indigenous language of this region contains an interesting mixture of both ancient and modern customs.
Its jurisdiction includes, in the Valley of Los Almendros, the site of the first City of San Salvador founded in 1526, of which little is known, and the Valley of La Bermuda, where, in 1528 the second attempt was made to establish the City. This second attempt was a little more successful; it remained the Capital of El Salvador until 1545 where local problems caused it to be relocated to its present site.

Here is the deal with photography.
Everyone has opinions about digital vs. film, black & white vs. color, large format vs. medium format vs. 35mm vs. Instagram. Is amateur photography as valid as professional photography? What's a serious photographer vs. a weekend warrior that dabbles only occasionally? What is fine art photography? OK, enough already, I'm going to give the final answer on all this claptrap!
The ONLY thing that matters is to take your work seriously and have fun with it. Nothing else matters. Period. The End.

Van Cliburn, piano soloist; Jaime Laredo, violin soloist; and Gina Bachauer, piano soloist, were among many fine performers who got their start during the fifth decade of Matinee Musicale Cincinnati.
Many changes were taking place in our country between 1951 and 1961. We were coming out of the Korean War and into the Cold War. Air travel was becoming more available moving concert artists throughout the free world for performances. This means of travel was easier than in past years when long slow trips by boat were the only way to become known overseas in live performances.
Jaime Laredo became a well known violin soloist as well as a popular chamber musician. A famous piano competition took on the name of Gina Bachauer.
* Until 1928, first Cincinnati appearances were not noted ono recital programs; but it is likely that many of the artists presented in those early years were, in fact, Cincinnati debuts. All artists whose names are preceded by an "*" are verified first appearances.
# First Cincinnati recital performances.
Besides Van Cliburn, you probably recognized other establlished artists. View the stars of tomorrow here!

A judge says a Virginia pastor must testify before a grand jury investigating the kidnapping of a now-10-year-old girl by her mother, who refused to share custody with the Vermont woman who was once her civil union partner.
Court documents say 46-year-old Kenneth Miller of Stuarts Draft, Va., had asked a judge to quash a subpoena, but he refused. The judge says prosecutors have guaranteed Miller immunity for anything he says before the grand jury.
Miller was convicted in August of helping Lisa Miller flee the country with daughter Isabella in September 2009. The Millers are not related.
Miller's attorney says Miller is scheduled to testify Nov. 15.
There's no word on who the grand jury is investigating.
Lisa Miller and Isabella are believed to be in Nicaragua.

Naoto Kan, Likely Japan's Next Prime Minister, In His Own Words
Naoto Kan's coronation as the next head of the ruling Democratic Party of Japan, and thereby the country's prime minister, seems all but certain Friday. The current finance minister has the backing of party heavyweights, and only rank outsider Shinji Tarutoko standing against him.
What are Mr. Kan's views on the big issues, particularly the thorny Okinawa U.S. military base that dominated the outgoing Yukio Hatoyama's ill-fated premiership? Mr. Kan, 63, has been notably quiet on the issue of late – but he wasn't always so shy on the subject, and has recently been outspoken on the yen/dollar exchange rate, another touchy subject.
Here is Mr. Kan in his own words on the big issues over the years, from stories in the Factiva archive.
"Even if (the Futenma Marine base) is not in Okinawa, it will not necessarily be a major disadvantage for Japan's security." – Aug. 2001, Kyodo News.
"An administration headed by the DPJ will demand the US seriously consider withdrawing marines from Okinawa". — Aug. 2002, Kyodo News.
"There are a lot of voices in the business world saying that [the dollar] around 95 yen is appropriate in terms of trade…in cooperation with the Bank of Japan, I will make efforts to deal with individual cases in order to bring the exchange rate to appropriate levels." – Jan. 2010, WSJ
(The following week:)
"My view on foreign exchange is that markets in principle should decide foreign-exchange rates…Unless currency moves are extremely volatile, it's good to follow this principle." – Jan. 2010, WSJ.
Asked if he had ever read the classic textbook "Economics" by Paul Samuelson, Mr. Kan replied: "I read about 10 pages." — March 2010, The Age
Political reform
"Our nation is flying on autopilot, with policies set by the bureaucrats…The autopilot has to be turned off. If not, our nation will crash. Our nation has lost its course." — July 1996, Los Angeles Times

The legacy of decades of civil war will not disappear in one day.
But for nearly two thousand Cambodians who gathered to celebrate the International Day of Peace, this one day is an important reminder to never stop working for peace.
Letting loose peace balloons and joining in peace marches in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh and in seven other provinces, attendees heard speeches about peace from different religious perspectives and participated in meditation.
The gatherings brought together peace activists, youth, Buddhist nuns and monks, Christians, and Muslims around a theme of "Sustainable Peace for a Sustainable Future."
Chhit Muny, AFSC's Peace Partnerships Program Officer, explains the importance of meditation for peace building in a Buddhist country: "Right here and now, we talk and act to promote peace as we breathe. Whenever we stop breathing we die, but whenever we forget and stop working for peace we also suffer and die too. So gathering people, especially youth, to learn and act for peace is very important."
Following decades of civil war, Cambodian society still feels the effects of the conflict in the many forms of violence, such as domestic violence, forced evictions, and the recent armed clashes with its neighbor, Thailand. The two countries dispute the position of their common border in the vicinity of some ancient temples.
The organizing group, an AFSC partner and local volunteer network for peace building, says this one-day event is not intended to immediately bring peace, but it is important in influencing people's minds and attitudes towards peace.
Sek Sarom, an organizer from Battambang province, says the event is intended to encourage and inspire people to end violence and better manage conflicts.
"It serves as a platform for participants to organize peace-related activities and to encourage peaceful co-existence in a pluralist society," she says.
A youth who participated in the event in Kampong Chhnang province said, "I wish to see such peace events every year in my community. I have learned a lot about how to talk about peace building and will share it to the rest of my community."

Microsoft's numbers in its recent earnings call were outstanding – $16.20 billion in revenue means that the first quarter of fiscal 2011 is up 25 percent over last year. These numbers were derived mostly from the success of products with proven track records: Microsoft Office 2010, the latest game in the Halo franchise, and of course Windows 7.
During a speech at the Professional Developers Conference on Thursday, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer extolled the virtues of the PC, calling it "the number one smart device on the planet today." About 350 million new PCs have been purchased within the last year, and Microsoft has sold about 240 million licenses of Windows 7 since its launch just over a year ago.
In addition to traditional desktop and laptop PCs, Ballmer pointed to netbooks and upcoming Windows 7 tablets as examples of innovative devices in the PC space, devices that would continue to drive demand for Windows-powered devices as smartphones and tablets like the iPad gain steam in the marketplace.
While Microsoft's greatest strength is still its core Windows and Office business, Ballmer did point to TV and to phones as being "very important" before talking up the brand-new Windows Phone 7, which has been garnering generally positive reviews. While he is "pumped" for the new mobile OS, he acknowledged that "there is a lot of activity" in the smartphone market from competitors like Google, Apple, and Research In Motion.
These numbers are pretty good, but there are definitely questions about Microsoft's viability in the future. Will Windows Phone 7 be an Xbox 360-style success for Microsoft, or a Microsoft KIN-style flop? And will either Windows Phone 7, a future update to Windows 7, or even Windows 8 be more suited to compete with iOS on tablet devices? Let us know what you think in the comments!

By Sgt. Grant Matthes (101st Airborne)June 20, 2013
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky., June 19, 2013- As father and son, Col. Michael W. Minor and Cadet Isaac A. Minor haven't been able to spend a whole lot of time with each other over the past couple of years.
Both men got a chance to spend ten of the toughest days in the Army together as they started and completed Air Assault training at the Fort Campbell's Sabalauski Air Assault School.
"Outside of (Air Assault School), we see each other about three to four times a year," said Isaac, a student at the University of Virginia College at Wise. "That was the good part about it is I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with him the last year or two, and now I finally got to spend the past month with him getting smoked the whole time."
The school provided the Minor's with a perfect opportunity to do a little father-son bonding. Michael, commander of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) rear detachment, and was the honor graduate for Air Assault School class 30-13.
"I was going to go anyways with our big push to get all of our troopers Air Assault qualified," Michael said. "I couldn't sit there and tell people 'you got to go' when I didn't have my wings. Plus being 49 years old definitely sets an example for these young guys."
The Minors both agreed that "zero day" was the toughest part of the 10-day course.
"It goes along the lines of you wanting to follow in the footsteps of your leadership, and I saw that between Colonel Minor and his son," said Staff Sgt. Zilvinas Lapelis, senior Air Assault instructor for team 3.
Lapelis said it was rare for two family members to attend Air Assault School at the same time.
"It's great to see a father and son, a full-bird Colonel and a Cadet, going through the same training where no one received any special treatment, and both successfully completed the course," Lapelis said. "As a leader, you set the example, and that's what he was doing for his son and the other Soldiers in the class."
Also attending the ceremony was Michael's father, Walter N. Minor, a former Army paratrooper and at one point was the oldest paratrooper in the Army. Walter graduated paratrooper school in 1951, was stationed at Fort Campbell with the 11th Airborne Division from 1951 until 1954 and had his last military parachute jump at the age of 64.
Walter also pinned the Air Assault Badge on his grandson during the ceremony.
"It's not something you can just walk in and do," Michael said. "There is a lot of prep that needs to be involved in order to be successful in this course."
Isaac is scheduled to go to Leadership Development and Assessment Course at Fort Lewis, Wash. and wants to become an infantry officer upon graduation.
"I was excited and glad that I got to do my first big military thing with my father," Isaac said.
"It's a great opportunity to be able to do something like this with him as he starts his career," Michael said.

LEXINGTON, KY – MARCH 21: Laurence Bowers #21 of the Missouri Tigers saves the ball from going out of bounds as Phil Pressey #1 looks on against the Colorado State Rams during the second round of the 2013 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at the Rupp Arena on March 21, 2013 in Lexington, Kentucky.

Self pays freshman Jackson a major compliment
Freshman phenom production under Bill Self has been something of a contentious topic. Many fault the coach, who has won one national title and 12-straight Big 12 championships, for not developing one-and-done talent to their fullest potential during their single-season stays in Lawrence. Cliff Alexander and Cheick Diallo are Exhibit 1-A and 1-B for this argument in recent years.
Whatever outside criticism there is (Andrew Wiggins did go No. 1 overall just 2 years ago, after all), Self isn't shying away from hyping the latest freshman with big expectations to come to KU. When asked who the greatest athlete of all-time is at the school's annual Tradition Night last week, Self had a simple, if tongue-and-cheek, response.
"I'll say Josh Jackson," Self said of the the 6-foot-8 shooting guard ranked No. 1 in his class, according to Lawrence Journal-World.
With others answering with the likes of Michael Jordan and Muhammed Ali, it's pretty fair to say Self was playing to the crowd with the answer, but it's still telling that he was willing to deliver such a sound bite, even if it was before a welcoming audience. Self didn't try to seriously depress expectations for Wiggins, a player Jackson is often compared to, and it looks like he won't for Jackson as well.
Jackson, though, won't have the burden Wiggins had as there's one of the country's best backcourts in Frank Mason II and Devonte Graham to help shoulder the workload for the Jayhawks.
ACC non-commital on HB2 stance
With North Carolina unwilling to rescind their controversial so-called bathroom bill, the NBA has withdrawn its All-Star Game from the state this year and numerous high-profile music acts have canceled performances as a result.
The ACC is declining to join them with a hard-line, or really any, position.
"We don't want to damage our league with any premature decisions," commissioner John Swofford said on The David Glenn Show. "We'll just see how it plays out."
The ACC, of course, has quite the presence in the state with North Carolina, N.C. State, Duke and Wake Forest all in the Tar Heel State. Swofford's comments are sure to draw the interest of the LGBT community, which has roundly been critical of the bill, which requires people to use the bathroom which corresponds to the gender on their birth certificate, and has recently been active in college athletics, opposing the Big 12's potential inclusion of BYU in its expansion plans over concerns of the Church of Latter Day Saints school's honor code.
North Carolina's bill has also drawn the eye of the NCAA, which is requiring potential championship sights to provide information on local anti-discrimination laws.
One of the loudest voices in the ACC, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, has come out against the law.
"It's an embarrassing bill," Coach K said last month.
The Champions Classic renewed through 2019
The Champions Classic is back, baby!!!
On Wednesday, the four schools that participate in the event — Kentucky, Duke, Kansas and Michigan State — announced that they have signed deals to extend the life of the doubleheader for another three years.
This is terrific news. The Champions Classic is always the best early-season event of the season, an annual double-header that always ends up putting together two of the best non-conference games in packed NBA arenas. This year, it features Duke, the consensus preseason No. 1 team in the country, squaring off with Kansas, who is a consensus top three team with the No. 1 freshman in the class, Josh Jackson, on their roster, in one game.
The other game? Kentucky, the third consensus top three team nationally, going up against Tom Izzo and Michigan State, who will be, at worst, a top 15 team in the preseason polls.
So yeah, we're going to get a pair of sensational basketball games in Madison Square Garden on Nov. 15th. MSG also just so happens to be the best arena to watch a great neutral site basketball game.
It's going to be awesome.
There's only one possible way to make it better: turn it into a two-day event, with the winners squaring off for the Champions Classic title the following night.
Make it happen.
Anyway, here's the schedule:
Nov. 14, 2017 (United Center, Chicago)
Kansas vs. Kentucky
Duke vs. Michigan State
Nov. 13, 2018 (Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Indianapolis)
Michigan State vs. Kansas
Duke vs. Kentucky
Nov. 12, 2019 (Madison Square Garden, New York)
Kansas vs. Duke
Michigan State vs. Kentucky
Hartford makes smart decision to allow 'Pancake' Thomas transfer
Another talented graduate transfer has hit the market.
Cleveland 'Pancake' Thomas — that's a helluva name, isn't it? — has been granted a release by Hartford and will be allowed to transfer to another program for his fifth season.
"Our biggest priority for Cleveland was that he graduate from the University of Hartford with a valuable degree," Hartford head coach John Gallagher said in a statement released to ESPN after some speculation that Thomas wasn't going to be given a release. "That happened. Beyond wishing him the very best, we don't comment on other program's players. We are very excited about our group and the upcoming season."
The term "release" is needed here because Thomas, a 6-foot-3 guard who averaged 18.9 points and shot 42.6 percent from three this past season, spent his first two years of eligibility at New Mexico. A graduate transfer exception is granted to any player making their first transfer after receiving an undergraduate degree. But since Pancake had already transferred once, he was only eligible to apply for a graduate transfer waiver, which the school he is leaving must support.
Remember the saga of Todd O'Brien? He tried to leave St. Joseph's to spend his fifth-year at UAB but made headlines everywhere when Phil Martelli wouldn't let it happen? That's because O'Brien had started his career at Bucknell and needed Martelli to support the waiver.
Gallagher could have done the same to Pancake.
He made the right decision not to — Martelli has enough coaching cache to withstand the onslaught on criticism he received, I'm not sure that is true for Gallagher — even if it will result in Thomas playing elsewhere, hence the cold-hearted nature of that statement.
Anyway, Thomas never averaged more than 3.9 points at New Mexico, so while he's a tantalizing prospect for programs that are dying for perimeter depth and shooting, this isn't exactly a kid that's going to launch himself into the NBA Draft's first round by jumping up to a higher level.
Shawn Forrest named assistant coach for Jankovich at SMU
DALLAS (AP) Shawn Forrest has been named an assistant basketball coach at SMU, his third school since the end of last season.
Mustangs coach Tim Jankovich announced Forrest's hiring Tuesday.
Forrest spent the past three seasons as an assistant at Western Kentucky before head coach Ray Harper resigned. Forrest was named a UTSA assistant in May, but two weeks later left for Louisiana Tech before the unexpected opening at SMU.
Jankovich was SMU's associate head coach before the abrupt resignation last month of Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown. Forrest fills the open assistant spot created on the staff when Jankovich was promoted to head coach.
Before Western Kentucky, Forrest was an assistant coach at Louisiana-Lafayette, North Texas, Arkansas State and Florida A&M.

Marketing quiz |
iPod iPhone iPad iMac |
1. No quiz on this topic would be complete without a question about Apple, the company arguably responsible for firmly entrenching the "i" prefix into the cultural zeitgeist of the late Nineties and the Noughties. Which one of these products was the first to be produced and marketed by Apple with an "i" at the start of its name? |
iPod iPhone iPad iMac |

4. In 2001, Californian dot-commer DigiScents, Inc. developed a product that would enable Internet users to engage their sense of smell while surfing the web, playing a computer game, or reading their e-mail.

This document forms part of a United Nations Development Fund (UNDP) regional project aiming to evaluate the situation of gender-based violence in the Latin America and Caribbean region. It was commissioned to the Venezuelan Association for Alternative Sexual Education Association (AVESA) (Asociación Venezolana para una Educación Sexual Alternativa). The document provides information and data on gender-based violence in Venezuela in areas such as education, employment, health, the media, political participation, access to justice, and domestic violence and sexual abuse. Specific legislation is in place to address these issues but some laws still perpetuate gender differences and in some cases impede the penalisation of violence against women. Public policies and civil society actions are also in place and have been analysed here. Civil society response has been instrumental in creating programmes to attend to mistreated women and in carrying out public campaigns to increase awareness of these issues and engage the media. Various organisations, both from government and civil society, offer psychological, medical and legal services to victims of violence and 66% of them carry out prevention actions.

Once again, it was wonderful seeing friends and familiar faces at the annual Memorial Day parade and ceremony. It's always a privilege to march in the Memorial Day parade with my fellow Town Council members and honor those who gave their lives to preserve our freedom. Service members, and their families, deserve our sincerest gratitude and I'm glad we were able to pay tribute to these courageous men and women.
On a related note, I would like to take this time to recognize the West Harrison and Purchase fire departments. Both departments recently held their annual Memorial Day ceremonies in remembrance of their members and fallen heroes. Both ceremonies were respectful and did a wonderful job honoring all Americans who have died while in service to our country.
I would like to acknowledge Harrison's five new police officers, who recently completed their training at the Westchester County Police Academy. Many instructional hours are required and I am confident our new officers will join with the Harrison Police Department in keeping our community free from harm. I was tremendously proud of Daniel Caldarola, Joseph DeRubeis, Frank Luongo, Jonathan Mezzancello and Charles Pascale as I watched them receive their diplomas at the graduation ceremony, which took place at SUNY Purchase. Congratulations to the new officers and welcome to the force.
The Eugene J. Feely Harrison High School Student Aid Fund has recently mailed its annual appeal to the Harrison community. This fund provides college aid to eligible Harrison High School graduates. One hundred percent of all donated funds go directly to the students. Each year, several qualified and deserving students are awarded grants through the generous donation of Harrison residents. If you would like to contribute, please make checks payable to The Feely Fund and send them to The Feely Fund at 255 Union Ave., Harrison, NY 10528. For additional information, contact Lola Geiger at 939-7066.
The Recreation Department will hold swim and water safety skills lessons for four and five year olds at the West Harrison pool. The classes begin the week of June 30 and run through the week of Aug. 5. Class size is limited. For more information please call 949-5265.
In closing, I would like to recognize St. Anthony's moving tribute to Harrison police officers. It was an honor to be at the Blue Mass, celebrated last weekend. The mass was a wonderful way to pay homage to those in uniform who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, but also to show respect to those who continue to protect and serve our community.
The next "Lunch with the Mayor" is on June 6 and I will be at Fuji Sushi located at 216 Harrison Ave. in downtown Harrison. On Friday, June 20, I will be at Trattoria 632, located at 632 Anderson Hill Road. I will be at these locations from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and look forward to meeting with residents and talking about issues facing our community.

June 8, 2015. BUFFALO, N.Y. — A study led by University of Buffalo and Roswell Park Cancer Institute researchers claims to have identified beliefs and personality traits associated with higher levels of distress in newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients. The study's authors say their findings support the value of emotional and informational support for patients and perhaps early counseling for some who are the most distressed.
"Several studies have examined distress in prostate cancer patients after treatment," said lead author Heather Orom PhD, an assistant professor of community health and health behavior in University of Buffalo's School of Public Health and Health Professions. "But few of these studies," Orom said, "assessed distress in men early in diagnosis, before receiving treatment." ...continue reading Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Calls for Early Support So That Men Can Make Smart Treatment Decisions, Study Says

Part D Perspectives: National Grange
Part D Perspectives: National Grange
12.05.12 | By
Below is the latest guest post in our "Part D Perspectives" series, which we'll be hosting through the rest of the year.
Grace Boatright, legislative director of the National Grange, shared her views on Part D and the positive impact it has had on Grange members.
The National Grange, founded in 1867, is a nonprofit organization deeply rooted in agriculture. The organization advocates for issues impacting rural Americans, which often involve health care. The average age of our membership is 55 and increasing, making Medicare and its ability to serve beneficiaries a high priority.
Please consider the following: Nearly 17 percent of the U.S. population lives in rural areas. While there are a number of advantages to rural life, incomes overall are lower and it can be challenging to deliver high quality health care to those who need it most. Medicare Part D is a tremendous driver of this.
Our members feel Part D is successful because it is efficient and affordable, two attributes that are vital for seniors living in these areas. The program saves our members about $2,000 a year and provides access to a variety of prescriptions they might not otherwise have been able to fill. Rural Americans are clearly satisfied with the program, but more education is needed for those who cannot easily access important information on this program's benefits. Not all seniors are computer savvy and have access to broadband Internet and we need to find ways to reach those individuals.
This is especially true for the Grange, whose membership is primarily located in rural areas. To achieve this, we serve as a type of middle-man between the information and our members who need it, working to ensure programs developed on the national level are distributed down to the state and local Granges. We also help our membership enroll in the program and shop for the choice that best fits their needs. In health care, there is not a "one size fits all" plan to fulfill each person's specific needs, so it really is important to look into all of the program's options to find the one that is right for you.
Overall, Part D is an incredible success. It is truly a unique government program because it encourages competition, which in turn drives down prices. However, we must find ways to continue to inform all those who are eligible through new outreach efforts and education programs.

Strengthening Networks
Posted by admin on Sep 20, 2011 in Featured front-page Slider | 0 comments
INECE develops and supports regional and topical networks for enforcement and compliance cooperation to achieve better environmental results.
Cooperation among government officials can help create a level playing field for regulated industries domestically and internationally, resolve and prevent transboundary environmental problems, create efficiencies in the development of tools and programs, and foster the political will needed to strengthen implementation of environmental standards.
Operating as transgovernmental networks focused on environmental compliance and enforcement, regional and topical environmental compliance and enforcement networks provide the forums and mechanisms that enable direct interaction among and between domestic officials, international institutions, and private actors.
In particular, INECE's conferences have resulted in commitments to launch new networks, including commitment to launch regional networks in West Africa and in South America during the 9th Conference, agreement to launch the Global Environmental Prosecutor's Network during the 9th Conference, agreement to launch networks in Sub-Saharan Africa during the 8th International Conference, including the East African Network on Environmental Compliance and Enforcement, and commitment to launch the Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement in the Maghreb during the 7th International Conference.
