Can you benchmark a mouse quantitatively?
Subject: General Tech | March 28, 2011 - 03:17 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Mouse reviews, especially the high end gaming mice with adjustable DPI and a dozen or more buttons, are of the qualitative variety. With no easy way to measure the performance or the impact on efficiency, the reviewer is limited to describing their experience with the mouse and how it felt to use for protracted periods of time. An article at Slashdot links to a software tool that goes by the name of Metalocity which claims to fix that, and you can download the program to try it yourself.
"A new mouse performance speed-testing software has scientifically demonstrated that there is virtually no difference between the performance of expensive, high-end gaming mice and cheap laser office mice. The software, called Metalocity, is available for free download so you can test your own mice and confirm the empirical results for yourself. It also shows that the multi- button approach of the Razer Naga and WarMouse Meta increases user speed by up to 112 percent."

Looking for a silver lining in "The Cloud"
Subject: General Tech | March 28, 2011 - 11:52 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
You've heard about "The Cloud" and the miracles of having your applications hosted by another company over the web and by now you might be getting a little sick of it. The promises made by those first service providers made it seem as though your email, databases and other programs that cost your business serious money to maintain could be reduced to a sliver of it's previous cost and as a bonus The Cloud will make your website bulletproof. Now that the shine has worn off a bit and cloud computing has actually been available long enough for proper testing and usage we have a much better idea exactly what it is capable of and what new skills techies need to catch up on. Ars Technica answers a couple of common questions small to medium business should ask themselves before they reach for the sky.
"The best argument against outsourcing e-mail to the cloud is also gone: Gmail for Business also comes with enterprise support. And Google also works with partners now, so you can get local support too. We are working together with Romneya for example, a Belgian Google Partner."

PC Matic Pitstop goes for -$0.01 on Frys
Subject: General Tech | March 27, 2011 - 11:35 AM | Ryan Shrout
I realize that many of our readers are likely over confident in their own computing skills that software like the piece I am about to mention will seem unnecessary, but others will find the tip interesting if only for friends and family. PC Matic Pitstop is a package that combines the benefits of a virus scan with a malware removal service, driver updates, registry tweaks and more. And while you can read positive reviews from sites like Brighthub and CNet, but the price is what will really convince you to give it a try.

Perhaps we are a little odd here at PC Perspective, after all a post entitled Another Good One is guaranteed to be about a difficult computer problem, not a viral video about a kid who loves cats on Friday, but we know what we like and are proud of it ... even if we aren't perfect. We like to break things (or at least stress them) so that we can find out how they work and how to rebuild them, and to add to our collection of random screws that didn't fit back in. In that spirit, why not see if you can break the beta version of the new improved PC Perspective design and get a peek at the future while you are at it.
Sometimes we go for the maximum punch and other times we take a more minimalist approach but we never do seem to take the easy road. Once everything is working, to relax we engage we engage in activities which require split second reflexes or argue about the unsolvable problems that face the world. If you do find that it all gets too much for you, just be glad you can watch the four of us do what we have done #147 times before.

Is it worth picking up a USB 3.0 add-in card?
Subject: General Tech | March 25, 2011 - 12:07 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The Tech Report investigates a question that is probably on the minds of those who upgraded their PC hardware just before the release of USB 3.0, is it worth picking up a PCIe USB 3.0 card? They grab a Mukii TransImp TIP-PU301 2 port USB card and run through what you can expect in the way of bandwidth depending on the implementation of PCIe your motherboard has as well as the effect of legacy cables.
"SuperSpeed USB connectivity may be a nice additional perk as part of a future system, but is it worth the trouble as a standalone upgrade?"

The most concise and accurate Crysis 2 review you need
Subject: General Tech | March 23, 2011 - 01:22 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
If you've been living on pot noodles for months to save up enough money to upgrade your system for Crysis 2 then maybe it's time to reinstall FarCry 2 or Metro 2033, there must be a few mods out there to amuse yourself with. Whatever level of fail BulletStorm reached with encrypted .ini files, Crysis 2 surpassed them and kept on going. Who needs a DX11 game on an XBox after all, let alone challenging play or graphics that crush modern GPUs? Kyle at [H]ard|OCP will help you save some bucks buying this console port, but if you really want to play it he did stick with it long enough to provide a performance preview.
"We have played them all! Farcry, Crysis, and now Crysis 2. If you were relying on Crytek to stress your new AMD or NVIDIA GPUs, well, you will likely have to wait another 4 years, or never probably. Crysis 2 graphics suck. Yes the graphics suck and you all know why. Crytek sold us out for a bunch of pussy 360 gamers. Gameplay is about as exciting and motivating as pulling a scab off your dog's scrotum. Open gameplay? Yeah right. Challenging? Not in the least. Crysis 2 goes into the "Never Finished" game bin with Daikatana. Come to think of it, Daikatana had better multi-player."

Cedar Trail gets its big reveal at IDF in Beijing
Subject: General Tech | March 23, 2011 - 12:27 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Intel's new mobile platform for netbooks, notebooks and all-in-one PCs will be unveiled next month in Beijing. Cedar Trail in its various forms could start to arrive on the market before the second half of the year, leading with netbooks powered by the new generation of Atom processor. Graphically you can expect DX10.1 support and the ability to stream 1080p video, though we don't know how smoothly yet. Digitimes has the tip here.
"Intel will introduce Cedar Trail, its new platform specifically designed for use in netbooks (Cedar Trail-M) as well as nettops and entry-level all-in-one PCs (Cedar Trail-D), at Intel Developer Forum (IDF) to take place in Beijing, China, during April 12-13.
The third-generation Cedar Trail platform will feature a 32nm Atom processor (Cedarview), that is already in beta testing and should be able to start shipping in May or June. The platform will support DirectX 10.1, Blu-ray content playback and dual-display output, and supports output formats such as LVDS, eDP, HDMI and DP.
In addition, Taiwan-based Asustek Computer may announce its US$200-250 ultra-thin netbook at the show."

PCMark 7 Announced For Windows 7
Subject: General Tech | March 21, 2011 - 06:30 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
HELSINKI, FINLAND – MARCH 21, 2011 – Futuremark, the developer of the world's most popular benchmarking software, announced PCMark 7 today, a new benchmark offering complete PC performance analysis for Windows 7. PCMark 7 includes 7 separate test suites combining more than 20 individual workloads covering storage, computation, image and video manipulation, web browsing and gaming. A release date has not been announced though the official website states that PCMark 7 is coming soon. http://www.pcmark.com/
"Hardware innovations like solid state drives (SSDs), and new form factors such as netbooks and tablets are greatly increasing the range of PC performance available to businesses and home users," said Jani Joki, Director of PC Products and Services at Futuremark. "With so much choice available, PCMark 7 is an essential and easy to use tool to test and compare PC performance accurately and reliably across a wide range of usage scenarios."
PCMark 7 provides a set of 7 suites for measuring different aspects of PC performance with a high degree of accuracy. Overall system performance is measured by the PCMark Suite. The Lightweight Suite measures the capabilities of entry level systems and mobility platforms unable to run the full PCMark suite. Common use performance is measured by the Entertainment, Creativity and Productivity scenario suites. Component performance is measured by the Computation and Storage hardware suites. The Storage suite is ideal for testing SSDs and external hard drives in addition to the system drive.

Athletics designated infielder Todd Walker for assignment.
Walker remains worthy of a roster spot, but the A's didn't need him as a backup second baseman and they're better off with Dan Johnson and Jack Cust at first base and DH, respectively. Walker hit just .271/.288/.292 in 48 at-bats.
He can play 3rd base instead of juan castro anyday IMO.

Hazardous Waste Programs:
Information on Appropriations and Expenditures for Superfund, Brownfields, and Related Programs
GAO-05-746R: Published: Jun 30, 2005. Publicly Released: Jul 6, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6225
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Our July 2003 report on the status of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Superfund program included, among other things, data on the program's appropriations and expenditures for fiscal years 1993 to 2002. In February 2004, we issued a report updating that information and, in May 2004, we broke down the appropriations data, reporting the amounts for the Superfund program as well as amounts designated for EPA's Brownfields program, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) that had previously been included in the Superfund appropriation. Superfund program operations are funded by appropriations from the Superfund trust fund. Historically, a tax on crude oil and certain chemicals and an environmental tax on corporations were the primary sources of revenues for the fund; however, the authority for these taxes expired in 1995. The trust fund continues to receive revenues in the form of cost recoveries, interest on the fund balance, fines and penalties, and general revenue fund appropriations. EPA's Brownfields activities to clean up and redevelop underutilized industrial properties were funded under the Superfund appropriation until the Brownfields program appropriations were changed, based upon the Congress' passage of the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act in January 2002. Since fiscal year 2003, the Brownfields program has been funded through EPA's Environmental Program Management and State and Tribal Assistance Grants appropriations, rather than Superfund. ATSDR and NIEHS--both under the Department of Health and Human Services--are responsible for certain Superfund-related activities. ATSDR is responsible for carrying out health-related activities; and NIEHS is responsible for basic research and worker training and education programs. Since fiscal year 2001, the Congress has provided ATSDR and NIEHS with funding for these activities directly, rather than through the Superfund program. Our three reports primarily focused on the Superfund program and included information on ATSDR, NIEHS, and the Brownfields program only for those fiscal years when their hazardous waste-related activities were funded through the Superfund program appropriations. To supplement the information in these reports, Congress asked us to determine the total funding and expenditure levels for EPA's Superfund and Brownfields programs and the Superfund-related programs of the ATSDR and NIEHS for fiscal years 1993 to 2005.
Total funding for the Superfund and Brownfields programs and the Superfund-related programs of the ATSDR and NIEHS, in current year dollars, remained relatively constant from fiscal year 1993 to fiscal year 2005. In inflation-adjusted dollars, however, the total funding for these programs decreased from about $1.9 billion in fiscal year 1993 to about $1.5 billion in fiscal year 2005. For fiscal years 1993 through 1998, the Brownfields expenditures are included within the Superfund expenditures and cannot be readily separated because, according to EPA, the Brownfields expenditures were not tracked separately in the agency's financial system. Also, NIEHS' expenditure records prior to fiscal year 1998 are no longer available because of its records retention policies. Furthermore, obligation data are presented for ATSDR because expenditure data were not readily available. Nevertheless, although incomplete, the available expenditure data indicate that, similar to the funding data, from fiscal year 1993 through 2004, the expenditures were relatively constant, in current year dollars; but, in inflation-adjusted dollars, they fluctuated over the period.

So something very strange. Several people contacted me, saying that my blog was giving them malware warnings. I did the usual routine- checked my theme files, ran the Exploit scanner plugin, checked the site myself (no message or warning for me) and nothing was out of the ordinary. The other weird thing is that some people said they only got the message some of the time- other times, it was fine.
I had a visitor take a screenshot of what she was seeing.
As you can see, it lists sexybookmarks.js as the culprit. HUH? I checked the plugin files and nothing has been modified (and I've been using this plugin for months now with no issues) I deactivated the plugin and had her check again and she no longer gets the warning.
So! My question: is anyone else noticing this behavior?? It's possible that it's just something unique to different virus monitoring software (which would explain why some people see the warning, others don't) I did some Google searching but this doesn't seem to be a widespread thing... very very curious!

Euromillions Lottery s.a. informed me further that 10% of this prize money would be payable to the "Santa Lucia Security Company s.a., since they are my "claims agent"(!), and they advised me to contact Don Ernesto Eroski, Foreign Operations Manager, on the phone and fax numbers I have quoted elsewhere. A second fax no. given was +34 658 570 960. Any money not collected by 28 November 2006 would be returned to the Ministerio de Economia y Haciendo as unclaimed.
A form was enclosed with the letter requesting many personal details including my address, occupation, marital status, sex, and, of course, bank account details, and details of next of kin, and requiring me to authorize the Santa Lucia Security Company to act on my behalf and to agree to pay 10% of the prize money to that company.
It was so obviously a hoax that I checked the Web immediately and found your site. I hope my report can warn any unsuspecting victims.

As the Accounts Receivable person for a restaurant chain, I can say with the utmost confidence, that United Air & US Airways are really bad for small businesses. They issue meal vouchers for inconvenienced passengers and the passenger then redeems their meal voucher at an airport restaurant. The restaurant then bills the airline for these vouchers. Each airline has their own billing procedure you have to follow in order for them to send payment, this wouldn't be a big deal IF these airlines didn't change their billing procedures every few months without notification (despite how many times you ask them to keep you in the loop). So, you send out the invoice & vouchers then wait, and wait, and wait, until, you finally get something in the mail that says they're rejecting your invoice and you now have to bill yet another company!!! No matter how small the bill, they fight & fight their way out of not paying for the vouchers they issue! Thus, the restaurant has just given hundreds of dollars worth of food for FREE!!!! In this economy, none of us can afford to lose money, but shouldn't there be some sort of protection from these scam artists???? I read a lot about passengers getting screwed over, but what about the small businesses that get screwed????

I believe that it is part of their greediness each Dollar that you lose is a Dollar profit for them and I believe that their managers sit there all day long thinking about how they can make some extra dollars. These signs in front of restaurants will also spread some light upon their business practices: like almost everybody knows how unhappy businesses are with "Discovery", customers will also know that these airlines give you a hard time and be on your side. Hopefully more restaurants will join - I am sure that this is the only way to stop them of doing these things.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Every year in February, a group of celebrities put on NBA issued jerseys and compete in a game of basketball. These celebrities have varied from: Terrell Owens, Chris Tucker, Mark Cuban, and Michael Rappaport. With the all-star weekend just passing, it got me thinking, what if there was an NFL celebrity all star game? Who would play in such a game? Only celebrities who take sports seriously. Let us look at the prospects.
NFL Celebrity All Star Game
By Nick Castillo ,
Was I one of the only people to watch Sandler in his movie: The Longest Yard. He has a cannon of an arm and is a great leader. Although, I wouldn't want to be the ref who has to call a flag against him. Anyhow, Sandler would be a great quarterback for the All Star game.
In case you couldn't tell, that is Keanu Reeves. He was a star in the Replacements. He is a born leader who gives heart on every play. He has a solid arm and also gave one of the best on-field speeches when he said, "Pain heals, chicks dig scars, glory lasts forever."
He is another player from The Longest Yard. He is a bit undersized but he is blazing fast. He reminds me of Darrin Sproles.
He has no football experience. However, he is a natural born athlete. He was the first kid to ever play in the NBA( see Like Mike). He had the moves to do well known in his skating career (see Rollbounce). There is no reason why he can't play the running back position. He is young, quick and has the swagger of a running back.
Mark Wahlberg (Marky Mark) is a beast. He is extremely fast. He never gives up on the play. He could play a dangerous slot receiver. He is also an accomplished special teams player (See Invincible). He is a shoe in for the game.
This pick is based off of potential. He is a young athletically built man. He is a pretty good dancer. His moves could be an asset on the field.
To be honest, there is no basis for this pick. I just really want to see Lil Wayne try to fit his hair into a football helmet. It is sure to be just as amusing as Troy Polamalu's.
This is another pick that has no basis to it. However, when is the last time you saw Adam Sandler without Rob Schneider. Besides, there is no doubt that Schneider will get hit with the football and it is sure to be hilarious.
An article was posted a ways back saying that Lebron could have played football professionally if he chose to pursue it. The Browns openly offered lebron a tryout. Well here is where he could test his skills. He has the physical tools to be a beastly tight end.
He is only 6 ft 2, but he is in better shape then most of the people I have playing. He could come in and blow the competition away, assuming he doesn't get distracted by the women in the stands. He is quite the womanizer(See The Ugly Truth).
In case you didn't know, Kevin Federline is a big boy now. His extra muscle(fat) should help him be an effective tackle. He can guard the blind spot of the quarterback and eat a hot dog(or two) at halftime.
He is a big actor who could effectively play the left tackle position. He was able to keep up with the always energetic little kids in Daddy Day Care which shows he isn't totally out of shape. I really couldn't find an athletic big guy so this is what you get.
He is a big body who could use his weight to keep the defense from the quarterback, or he can tell a ton of jokes that will keep the defense laughing on their backs.
He is a big lovable guy. How can you not include him on the list.
He is big enough to fit the position but small enough to play effectively. He is always active whether he is dancing(Boogie Nights/Grease) or running from cops(Taking of Pelham 123), he is always on the move which makes him an ideal center.
He has a bit of a nasty streak on him. However, you can't deny the chemistry he has with Adam Sandler(See I Pronounce You Chuck And Larry). Their chemistry could very well lead to a win.
He is a a big boy who has similar attributes as Cedric the Entertainer. If these two were on the same team they would sure make the other team laugh themselves into a coma.
Recognize him? That is the fat, messy worker from Jurassic Park. If he is athletic enough to run away from dinosaurs and help michael jordan in Space Jam, then he is athletic enough to be a guard.
He may not have the bulk to play the position, but this guy will go all out given the opportunity. He is hilarious and he has no problem going crazy on somebody.(I love you man, he tried to punch the hulk!)
The large rapper can handle his own for whoever is rushing at him as long as he gets his money....Arab Money that is.
If he can take time away from running down bad guys in NCIS Los Angeles, he can run down the quarterback. He is a perfect blend of height, strength and personality to play this position.
The big winter olympic star can take his downhill speed to a new level when he chases down the quarterback.
The huge UFC star can take his wrestling moves to the turf where he can fight his way to the quarterback.
This beastly UFC star has been a WWE champion, a UFC champion so why not a NFL Celebrity footballl player?
RUDY! RUDY! RUDY! The boy gives his heart out on every play. How can you not love him?
The dude is ripped and speedy. Him and LL Cool J will be fighting over the MVP award.
He will be yelling at the quarterbacks to "CHAMON".
Assuming he can put his booze down long enough to play(Two and a half men), he is a wise crack that if nothing else, can provide comic relief to the team.
If nothing else, Luda can be the smack talker of his team. He will surely try to intimidate whoever runs his way
I can see it now, "Lil Wayne goes over the middle, he catches the ball and OH MAN, T.I. just LAID him out! I think T.I. is saying that he is back from jail and he isn't here to play". Or maybe I just have an active imagination.
He is a straight up gangsta. He will be playing for NEW YORRRRRRRRRRK (Concrete jungle where dreams are made up)
The bad boy for life will make a big splash when he nails Adam Sandler on an outside blitz.
He has the best footwork I have ever seen. He can shut down whoever runs his way.
Another man who will be reppin the NBA, Nate is a little on the short size, but man can he jump. The quarterback won't even see Nate till he jumps up and intercepts the pass.
The rapper from Detroit is sure to verbally abuse whatever wide receiver he is assigned to.
I fear for whoever he guards. Seriously, this guy is a killer.
The former WWE star has had some football success. He won the superbowl in The Game Plan. Even though he played a quarterback, he is an impressive physical specimen.
Two former WWE stars make up the free safety positions. To whoever Hulk hits, look out for his leg drop after the play.
Isn't it natural that if Lebron plays Tight End that Kobe plays Safety to guard him? Lebron vs Kobe in football = awesome.
Assuming he can get his love affairs in order, his natural athletic ability and terrific catching ability will be an asset.
Like him or not, he can boot the ball.
I know that he is already a football player, but he wanted to be kicker in the NFL all star game so badly that how can you deny him?
How can you not love their voices? They are just amazing. Best Commentators Ever.
Thank you for reading this ridiculously silly presentation. I know that some of the picks realistically don't make any sense, but it was all for fun and games. I figured we all needed a break from the millions of mock drafts floating around out there. Comments are welcome. Take care.

He's a man on a mission.
Pleasant Ridge Church senior pastor Malachi O'Brien, 30, wants new life to be breathed through his rural Harrisonville congregation.
The gathering is the second-oldest church in the area with ties to the Southern Baptist Convention.
"I want to be at a place where God works and is changing lives," he says.
The church recently celebrated it's 145th anniversary on Sept. 15, but the journey hasn't been easy, O'Brien said.
In the last 145 years, the rural congregation has seen 47 pastors come in and out of their doors.
There have been splits, threats and hurt feelings over the years, but O'Brien, who is in his second year of his ministry at Pleasant Ridge, is kingdom-focused.
"We're experiencing some of the highest numerical numbers as a church that they've had in the last 20 years," he said. "We've seen more people make professions of faith, baptism and joining in the last two years than in the last 15 years combined."
When he first arrived to Pleasant Ridge from a mega church in Lenexa, Kan. in June 2011, O'Brien reported that weekly attendance averaged about 40 people.
At that time, about 70 percent of his congregation were 60 years and older. The walls were painted a dull white. Hymnals from the 1950s were still scattered throughout the church.
Youth and children ministries were nearly non-existent.
Sunday mornings at Pleasant Ridge were more of a weekly custom rather than a worship experience, O'Brien alluded.
Today, it's a much different story.
The walls are brightly-painted. The clutter from past decades is gone. The music is a little bit more hipper. And technology is reshaping how the church operates.
"Even the way we govern ourselves has changed," O'Brien said.
As a result, church attendance in the last two years has tripled and the demographics have shifted, too.
O'Brien now estimates that about 70 percent of his congregation are about 40 years old and younger.
Pleasant Ridge also now offers vibrant nursery, children and youth ministries.
"There's a big emphasis in the Southern Baptist Convention for church revitalization for new life breathed back into them," said O'Brien, who is also working on a doctorate in church revitalization.
O'Brien says his church is a community of repenting sinners.
"I tell them that this isn't a church for everybody," he said. "This is not a club...We're an army. This is not a cruise ship...this is a battleship."
Pleasant Ridge Church was birthed into existence as the United Baptist Church of Jesus Christ at Pleasant Ridge, located at 22500 E. 299th St., in 1868.
During the celebration service earlier this month, several former pastors of the congregation came to share about the church's history.
More than 150 people attended the service.
"This church has a rich heritage," O'Brien said.
But O'Brien is mindful that he has to be adaptive to culture in order to lead people into a relationship with God. Sometimes, though, it takes growing pains to get there.
"This was a church designed just to reach farmers around here, and they haven't really seen the times change around them," O'Brien said. "The Pleasant Ridge Church wants to see revival. I think this area deserves to have a church on fire and willing to do whatever it takes to reach and love people."
O'Brien said the church has done everything from change their name to their philosophy to fulfill their goal.
"We're outwardly focused, not inwardly focused," he said. "I want people to know what this church is for, not what this church is against."
As a result, O'Brien said God is working.
"I think this church has great potential to grow to more than 200 people in the next year, but more than numbers, I want to see lives changed," he said.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Christopher Butcher has a nice reminiscence of how he discovered comics that shows up both the advantage the newsstand had and its fatal shortcoming. Little Christopher spotted The Transformers #3 in his local convenience store:
I loved Transformers, and didn't realize that there were comics. I knew that there WERE such things as comics, I'd see them in the Beckers' convenience store across the street from my house, but I wasn't really interested … I asked (probably demanded) that my mom get it for me, that there are TRANSFORMERS ADVENTURES NOT ON TV AND LOOK IT ALSO HAS SPIDER-MAN IN IT THAT'S CRAZY. She relented.
But when he went back to the store, he learned that, unlike TV, the comics industry doesn't churn out a new episode every day, and he would have to wait a month for the next comic — which, when it came in, was Issue 5. Which was equally awesome, but … what about Issue 4? I remember this problem — specifically, I remember when comics went from being mostly self-contained in a single issue to four-issue arcs, and suddenly it mattered what the number on the cover was. Here's the thing about newsstands: They were everywhere, and you had the serendipity of just running across a comic you never knew existed, but because distribution wasn't consistent (and neither were trips to the drugstore), you never knew if you would be able to get the next issue. Chris' story has a happy ending (spoiler): His parents discovered a local comics shop and got the missing issues, and now grown-up Chris runs one.
On the other side of the coin, David Brothers writes about how he has gradually given up his Wednesday visits to the comics shop for reasons of both quality and space.
Now he buys most of his comics digitally, a month after they come out so he won't have to pay full cover price, and he finds that has changed the way he consumes comics: "I just get to read what I like, write about it if the spirit moves me, and enjoy things at my own speed."
The one comic he buys in print is 2000 AD, and despite the fact that he gets it in a comics shop, he has the same problem Chris had with The Transformers all those years ago:
So, the funny thing about buying 2000 AD in print is that Diamond, the biggest comics distributor in the country, is borderline worthless when it comes to 2000 AD. I started with prog 1765 (they call them progs, roll with me here, it's not that weird) and picked up prog 2012, an anniversary issue, and progs 1766 and 1767 around the same time or a week later. Cool, right? It's a solid start. But I'm looking at my stack now and I've got 1765-1767, 1768-1772, 1774, 1775, 1777, and 1778. See the gaps? I picked up 1775 before I got 1774, too, and a few other issues came out of order. According to an email I got this week, progs 1779-1781 all came out this week.
2000 AD is a weekly serial, so it's very weird that Diamond can't deliver it as such, even if it does come from the U.K. A delay would be fine, but dropping issues? That's not cool. Ironically, if David were to buy it digitally, he could get each issue the week it comes out, in DRM-free format, too.
Both of these articles are interesting in a looking-over-the-shoulder sort of way, and retailers should be very concerned about the shift in David's buying habits, but they point up something else as well: Comics are a serial medium, like television soap operas, but unlike the soaps, they don't have a convenient and consistent distribution system. When they were on newsstands, they weren't consistent; now they are in comics shops, they aren't convenient (for most people), and they sometimes aren't consistent either. And for a serial medium, that can be a serious problem.
Viewed in this context, digital comics are the logical way to distribute monthly issues. Each consecutive issue is served up on time, no one can buy the last copy before you get to it, and you don't have to drive across town to get it. Plus digital offers an efficient way to store and arrange your comics. There are plenty of reasons why people still go to a brick-and-mortar comics shop and buy a paper comic, but for those who aren't attached to the physical aspects, or don't have a store nearby, digital is a more efficient solution that sidesteps the flaws of both channels of physical distribution.
I love reading this. I miss the "spontaneity" of buying only what the store has, especially in the day of comics sold in grocery stores. You might get issue 36 of something, then the next it was issue 42 – but I never minded that, because back then, each issue told enough of a complete compelling story all in one (not like nowadays). The gaps would leave you wondering what the next story would be – thus inspiring you to use your imagination to think it up.
I also love how missing issues creates that whole hunting-down-back-issues behaviour or the joy of finding that missing Part 8 of an 8-part story. This is where comics, as its own culture, really is distinct from all other hobbies and media. In fact, I'd even say all this digital/smartphone reliance is killing the human need for spontaneity and discovery.
It's not the same now, with digital etc. And digital maybe convenient for some people – but they require to buy iPads and be glued to computers to read them. It's not the same.
It's not like you can take a bundle of comics and go read them on a rowboat in the middle of the lake (which I loved to do, on long summer days) and not minding if they fall in (can't do that with an iPad, can you?)
@Richard Hodt
So comics were better in the old days because they were worthless trash (i.e. you didn't mind if they fell in a lake) that had minimal multiple-issue narrative ("each issue told enough of a complete compelling story all in one") and were difficult or unreliable to obtain ("You might get issue 36 of something, then the next it was issue 42″; "missing issues creates that whole hunting-down-back-issues behaviour")?
I think your nostalgia-glasses might be a little too rosy if that seems better than the evolving digital marketplace.
I do think the ability to just grab a comic off the shelf of your local grocery or drug store is something to actually miss, though.
The biggest reason I'm still going with print, despite the storage issues: price.
My LCS gives me 20% off cover price. Digital has me paying full price.
You'd think it'd be the other way around, but getting the actual, physical book is actually significantly cheaper for me. I realize that publishers don't want to bury brick-and-mortar stores, but this is a HUGE obstacle to digital comics.

Amazon.com Review
Though somewhat dated (it appeared serially in Rolling Stone throughout November 1971), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a book of real vitality and Rabelaisian wit. A document of the counterculture after it was well past ripe and deep into rot, the book is a wild ride, a paranoid ramble that is thoroughly exhilarating and worth the trip. No pun intended. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Advisor Perspectives welcomes guest contributions. The views presented here do not necessarily represent those of Advisor Perspectives.
I want to share with you my macro observations of the NASDAQ 100 chart. I believe the NASDAQ 100 to be a leader among markets, often leading the way for U.S. equity trends.
In the chart below, notice how the market is trending higher in the same type of channel formation that I mentioned in previous articles. The channel is represented by the parallel red lines. Notice also how the market recently tested major channel support, and how that support held on the market's first assault. This is a major support line to watch, even if you don't trade or invest in the NASDAQ 100. A breaching of this support line could suggest some real general market anguish. The upward trend has been intact for four years.
The horizontal blue line represents the Fibonacci 50% retracement of the 2000-2002 market break and shows how this resistance held the market's first and second attempts at a greater rebound rally. This level, at 2820, remains a formidable resistance area in the NASDAQ 100 market. On the other hand, the major support mentioned above is found at the 2500 area via the trend channel support line. A break-out either way could be a harbinger for future general market direction.
Finally, the horizontal green line represents the neck-line of an inverted head-and-shoulders bottom formation. The pattern did indeed portend a significant rally, even as market fundamentals seemed imperiled at the time.

By Fort Lee Public Affairs OfficeMarch 1, 2012
FORT LEE, Va. (March 1, 2012) -- The reinstatement of an Army policy governing how its temporary duty students are paid for lodging and meals while attending the Army Logistics University and other advanced military courses here was the subject of a special public meeting Monday night in the multi-purpose room at the ALU.
About 80 representatives of hotels and apartment complexes in the local area, as well as numerous community leaders, attended the briefing that was conducted by Col. Rodney D. Edge, U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Lee commander. The topic of discussion was the installation's Feb. 1 reinstatement of the Institutional Training Directed Lodging and Meal Policy.
Representatives from the Department of Army, the Army Chief of Staff for Installation Management and the garrison answered questions about the standards required for the Lodging Success Program and the contracting process involved, and they provided information on how apartment and hotel owners can list their services on the Department of Defense Automated Housing Referral Network.
Under ITDLMP, actual lodging costs are paid through a centralized billing program rather than the Army paying a usually higher per diem amount to Soldiers who, in turn, had to file reimbursement claims and repay the debts accumulated on government credit cards. It also specifies where Soldiers can be billeted -- either Army lodging on post or, if those facilities are booked to capacity, in one of the contracted Lodging Success Program hotels near the post.
"We actually launched the centralized billing program (under another name) here in 2002, and it continued through 2008," the garrison commander explained. "The Army gave us the OK to suspend the requirement in August 2009 to minimize shortfalls in infrastructure and services due to government-mandated Base Realignment and Closure changes. Consequently, students were receiving a per diem allowance for lodging and meals up until the recent reinstatement of the policy. While many stayed in Army lodging or LSP hotels, quite a few did not. This increased costs significantly, which is the primary factor that led to the reinstatement of ITDLMP."
In addition to being more cost effective, the reinstated lodging and meal policy means students don't have to worry about the logistics of finding and paying for lodging and can focus on why they are on post: for training.
"It improves class integrity as well," Edge noted. "We now have the requirement to lodge students in the same facility, which is a huge benefit when you consider command and control, the ability to organize study groups and so on. In both leadership and logistical terms, it's the right solution for an Army that has to operate in today's environment of constrained resources."
Among the specific ITDLMP benefits Edge made note of during Monday's meeting were the following: an estimated monthly cost savings of approximately $500,000; the ability to monitor and resolve lodging issues promptly for those in LSP hotels; and predictability for lodging facilities that can count on guaranteed payment through contractual agreements.
The new lodging and meal policy affects all classes that reported on or after Feb. 1, Edge reiterated. Army students who reported before the reinstatement date will be allowed to retain their current billeting arrangements and will receive per diem payments as before. Furthermore, the change in policy does not affect government civilians, international students, members of other U.S. service branches or non-TDY Army students, such as those on permanent change of station moves.
The garrison command emphasized the post's commitment to keeping the lines of communication open and praised the community for its support and partnership.
"If big Army makes a change in the LSP policy, we will not keep it a secret," Edge said. "Fort Lee values its partnership with the local community and its business owners, so the dialogue will continue."

Jewish Museum hosts provocative artwork of Soviet Union
Felix Lembersky's Jewish heritage and cultural background as a citizen of the Soviet Union during one of the most turbulent times of the modern age express themselves deeply in his artwork — indeed they are buttressed by this identity. The Jewish Museum is hosting a provocative, if at times inconsistent, survey of this artist's profoundly experienced life in paint.
The most ambitious work in the show is an interpretation of atrocity. "Execution: Babi Yar" (1952) depicts the 1941 massacre of 80,000 souls, 34,000 of whom were Jewish. Lembersky was one of the first visual artists to treat this subject matter. In doing so he used compositional devices from art history, specifically Gustave Courbet, as well as his knowledge of Soviet Social Realist traditions and his own gutsy paint application. »Read Full Article

Where Is My Mind?
by The Pixies
If you listen to the recording of "Where is My Mind?" that appears on Surfer Rosa, turn the volume up really loud, and close your eyes, it's not too hard to imagine that the Pixies are playing right in your room. You can thank producer Steve Albini for that.
Albini is well-known for his recording style, which he described this way: "...you can hear a natural relationship between the instruments where you can imagine a live performance. Quiet things sound quiet, loud things sound loud, drum kits sound like drum kits, guitars sound like guitars, singers sound like singers. So I guess it's about a lack of stylization."
This philosophy is easy to spot in "Where is My Mind?", with Joey Santiago's lead guitar grinding and crunching, Kim Deal's slightly off-pitch "ooooh's," and the drums and acoustic guitar sounding like they're right in front of you.
In fact, we'll venture to say that "Where is My Mind?" and Surfer Rosa might not have made such lasting impressions if their recording quality been more polished. By creating a sound so close to a live performance, Albini allowed the strength of the Pixies music to speak for itself, and let listeners feel closer to the song than if it were hidden behind a wall of electronic noise or studio sheen.

Skip to comments.Terri's husband isn't the enemy, guardian says
Posted on 03/19/2005 9:18:52 AM PST by EveningStar
click here to read article
Yes, but he was still paying for her care. And he continued to pay for her care for another 5 years. Geez, if he was so intent on getting rid of her, why did he wait five years? C'mon.
"Simply not true. Numerous examples have been cited on numerous threads."
It is true. Those other examples were patients in a coma, not in a persistent vegetative state. Totally different.
It was Terri's wish that she not live like that. She expressed that wish to Michael, to his brother (Scott), and to her best friend, Joan (Scott's wife).
All three testified under oath to that effect. The judge accepted the statements.
It was the judge, not Michael, who made the decision based on the the testimony and ordered the feeding tube removed (in 2000).
That's a lie.
All three testified under oath to that effect. The judge accepted the statements.
I wasn't aware of that. Does Michael have any conflict of interest here? I've heard claims that he stands to inherit money if she dies.
Back in 1993, Michael received a check for $300K for loss of consortium. (A side note: Terri's parents wanted a piece of that. Michael refused. That was the start of the falling out process between them. True story.)
In addition, I believe Michael was awarded $1.4M (placed in a trust) for Terri's long term care. There may be more, I'm not really sure -- I just got into this.
Anyways, I think there's very little left. I heard he turned down some major money to divorce her and let her live. Rumor? I don't know.
Some of the posts here are definitely hilariously over the top, however, the guy does seem like a first class jerk.
A case can be made for that.
My only point is that his personality is irrelevant. But there are those who want the whole decision to ride on whether Michael is a good husband or not.
Demonize Michael, they figure, she lives.
First of all, it was her money. Second, by denying her therapy, he denied her care. And the care she did receive was minimal at best. For the past twelve years he has done as little as possible. This is extensively documented. Not only that, he has spent over 60% of her medical fund on lawyers fees trying to kill her.
Geez, if he was so intent on getting rid of her, why did he wait five years? C'mon.
He didn't. As I said, he placed a DNR order on her chart just 3 months after the settlement award. Six months after THAT, he denied her treatment for a life-threatening infection.
He could have gone to court to get an order to have her feeding tube pulled in 1993 and he didn't. Stop equivocating with this crap about a DNR and an infection.
Are you sure? It might not even have been legal then. When Terri collapsed, feeding tubes were not considered life support. Sometime later, the law's definition was changed. Quite possibly Michael's hands were tied.
Stop equivocating with this crap about a DNR and an infection.
Stop ignoring all information that doesn't suit your personal opinion. The first legal ruling that approved the removal of the feeding tube was in May of 97. Obviously he petitioned the court sometime before then.
And factually speaking, Michael Schiavo passively abandoned his wife from 93-97. He denied her therapy, basic hygene and common decency. He placed a DNR on her chart and refused treatment for life-threatening infections on more than one occasion.
You simply can't dismiss his behavior as equivocation when those actions established a documented pattern which led up to his proactive pursuit of her death.
Oh and by the way, it's proven fact that Michael was quite the philanderer. (Don't argue that he has a right to get on with his life, because that's not my point.) 18 months after Terri's collapse, Michael was involved in a serious relationship with another woman that lasted a year. The summer BEFORE the malpractice suit was to commence, he and this woman were planning to move in together.
My point is this - Michael's behavior in 1992, DURING the malpractice suit, directly contradicted his court testimony where he claimed to love his wife, honor his vows forever, and planned to take her home to care for her for the rest of her life. Another example - two months after the first judge ruled in favor of his removing her feeding tube, in July of 97, he announced his engagement to his current fiance and mother of his two children. And yet this is a man whose motives should be accepted without question?
Talk about suspension of disbelief.
Well, if you read the article there's an explanation. Everyone makes it sound like Michael and Judge Greer sit around drinking beer thinking up ways to torture Terri. It's just preposterous.
Question if I may..probably needs a legal answer.. He was appointed her guardian. He was also, at the time, her husband. Does Florida law require a guardian in the case where it is a spouse, to file the annual fincancila reporting forms with the court?. It would seem that any court reviewer would have at leatst questioned the huge $$ expenses made supposedly on her behalf to lawyers, as opposed to her care. So who was the legal reviewer, and which judge apppointed him, and thus has given him considerable fees over the years?
Yes I believe it does, but from what we've read, Michael is habitually delinquent in his filings, which Greer has chosen to ignore.
It would seem that any court reviewer would have at least questioned the huge $$ expenses made supposedly on her behalf to lawyers, as opposed to her care. So who was the legal reviewer, and which judge apppointed him, and thus has given him considerable fees over the years?
I don't know that there was any independent court reviewer - no doubt others would be able to answer that and your other questions more accurately.
I do know, however, that Greer ruled to authorize the use of Terri's medical fund to pay legal fees, which was done to the tune of approximately 62%, near as can be estimated. By Felos' own admission, he and one of his colleagues got close to half a million dollars over several years (he was retained in 98 and claims to have not been paid for the past 2 years), and Felos was only retained to represent Michael in his efforts to have Terri's feeding tube pulled, so his representation has had nothing to do with oversight of the medical fund. At any rate, there's only 50k left, according to a recent article about the expenditures.
I'm not sure it's a good idea to use WorldNetDaily and Newsmax as legitimate news sources. :)
Not all the people on the "save Terri" side are frothing lunatics.
I agree but I just want to know if it's true or not. Someone had posted a legitimate non-tabloid news source to me once and I can't find it. If it's true, why would he deny her communion?
And the "absolute lies" are the BEST parts of many posts which are dripping with hatred for those who believe this lady left us a long time ago. Hatred not even less than that exhibited towards Saddam or Clinton.
I know that, but it seems the ones who post to me are!!! :) ONLY KIDDING!!
I have not seen one single post that expresses hatred toward Terri.
Of course not I was referring to the hatred of those who want to keep the tube in indefinitely against those who believe she is gone.
That is her CAT scan. She has electrodes IN HER HEAD it is impossible to have an MRI unless the electrodes WERE REMOVED.
Michael ISN'T an adulterer? Really? Could you prove that? I just wondered since you seem to think those that call him that are lying.
Sure, I believe it was his intent to care for her. But after 8 years, all hope was gone (no one has recovered from PVS after 3 years).
WE have the benefit of hindsight. Michael didn't, and couldn't, have known at that time how things were going to transpire.
Then tell me why Michael testified he wanted to take care of Terri for the "rest of her life". Guess that was only for eight years, ummm?
My guess is that he thought she would get better. She didn't.
That's not what I said.
I said the Terri supporters cannot stick to the facts of the case and sooner or later slip into demonizing Michael. As though his behavior is relevant to the case.
How in the world is his behavior not "relevant to the case"??
This is a surreal nightmare................
I meant in a sane, logical, and legal sense.
Certainly in an emotionally driven, gossipy sense, his deplorable and adulterous actions make him undeserving of living, much less being Terri's guardian.
But, that's not the way things work in this country. And thank God for that.
Depends on what side of the starvation you're on
Joan Schiavo, and she is Michael's brother, Scott's wife.
I read in records that she's Williams wife. Who cares, she's a Schiavo.
Yes, my mistake.
