How We Know – Epistemology On An Objectivist Foundation
Harry Binswanger's How We Know – Epistemology On An Objectivist Foundation (TOF Publications) is aimed at exposing the root causes of bad epistemology, and bringing clarity to the crucial questions: What is knowledge? How is it acquired? How is it validated? To a large extent, the material that Binswanger has presented was originated by Ayn Rand.
A Monetary Policy Primer, Part 6: The Reserve-Deposit Multiplier
The multiplier's significance to monetary policy is, or used to be, straightforward: it indicated the quantity of additional bank deposits that monetary authorities could expect to see banks produce in response to any increment of new bank reserves supplied them by means of either open-market operations or direct central bank loans.
The Myth of the Myth of Barter
There is, after all, at least one impulse among humans that's more deep-seated than their "propensity to truck, barter, and exchange." I mean, of course, their propensity to let themselves be thoroughly bamboozled.
Unmasking Egalitarian Double Speak: Book Review of Equal is Unfair by Don Watkins and Yaron Brook
In their book, Equal is Unfair, Don Watkins and Yaron Brook refute the muddled arguments that are being used to drive the utopian vision of income equality. They apply rigorous empirical validation to essay a devastating assessment of the campaign against income inequality, and they show that inequality is the fundamental by-product of freedom and it is a good thing. They point out that freedom, prosperity, and opportunity aren't guaranteed for all times, and that if the campaign for income equality succeeds, the impact on the country will be overwhelmingly detrimental.
The FBI Knew Jihadis were Targeting Garland, Texas Free Speech Event
"It's a whole other thing if you're encouraging and cheering on the proposed murder of Americans who are standing in defense of the freedom of speech, and then not doing anything about it. Why did the FBI only have one agent there? And not a team waiting for them to shoot back?"
Free Market Money: On The Separation of Banking and State
Government has been the cause of monetary disorder in our society. A free market in money and banking would be the solution to our "age of inflation." Government central-planning of money has been tried and it has failed. It is now time for monetary freedom to be given a chance.
How Ayn Rand's Philosophy of Objectivism Can Rescue Hayek's Economics
In economics Hayek is a radical; but in philosophy, unlike Ayn Rand, Hayek is a conservative.
The Entitlement State and America's Fiscal Crisis: Capitalism vs Socialism
The enemies of capitalism indicted the society of liberty; they distorted the reality of capitalism and its brilliant triumphs in freeing man from poverty; and they imbedded in the minds of many the conception of political entitlements that serve the power ends of political paternalists and which requires the plundering of the peaceful and productive members of society.
Ayn Rand On 'The Butcher Of The Ukraine'
What was Khrushchev's role in Stalin's mass terror campaigns against the Communist Party members and the general population?
The Olympic Games Celebrate the Mind
May the Olympic Games always shine as the torchlight of and for the human mind.
Khrushchev's Secret Speech On Stalin's Crimes
The concept "enemy of the people" actually eliminated the possibility of any kind of ideological fight or the making of one's views known on this or that issue, even [issues] of a practical nature
On Free Banking, Monetary Rules, and Crusades
Free banking and monetary rules were rival ideas for guarding against abuses of discretionary monetary policy, today they are properly seen as complementary schemes, one for improving the performance of the banking system, the other for reforming the base-money regime.
A Monetary Policy Primer, Part 5: The Supply of Money
On the Fed's "instruments of monetary control," which include devices for regulating the total quantity of bank reserves and circulating Federal Reserve notes, and also for regulating the quantity of bank deposits and other forms of privately-created money that will be supported by any given quantity of bank reserves.
A Monetary Policy Primer, Part 4: Stable Prices or Stable Spending?
A better alternative, if only it can somehow be achieved, or at least approximated, is a monetary system that adjusts the stock of money in response to changes in the demand for money balances, thereby reducing the need for changes in the general level of prices.
Khmer Rouge's Genocide in the Name of Marxist Utopia
Aiming to establish a classless agrarian utopia where there was complete rejection of capitalism, the Khmer Rouge destroyed all the cities, all the industries, hospitals and schools, and every speck of modernity in Cambodia.

Museum of Wisconsin Art opens new building
After researching and refining the history of Wisconsin art for decades, the Museum of Wisconsin Art will be able to tell more of its story starting this weekend. It will reopen in a dramatic new building nestled on the Milwaukee River at 205 Veterans Ave., West Bend - a gleaming, white wedge with twice the space for art inside.
The museum also is altering its narrative, opening up what it means to focus on "Wisconsin art" and creating a greater focus on contemporary art. »Read Full Article
Violent Femmes bassist Brian Ritchie remembers Lou Reed's influence

Lou Reed dies at 71, was lead singer of Velvet Underground
New York — Lou Reed, the great punk poet of rock 'n' roll who profoundly influenced generations of musicians as leader of the Velvet Underground and remained a vital solo performer for decades after, died Sunday. He was 71.
Reed died in Southampton, N.Y., of an ailment related to his recent liver transplant, according to his literary agent, Andrew Wylie, who added that Reed had been in frail health for months. Reed shared a home in Southampton with his wife and fellow musician, Laurie Anderson, whom he married in 2008. »Read Full Article(20)
Bel Canto Chorus, MSO join for night of sacred music
The Bel Canto Chorus and Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra joined forces at Christ King Parish in Wauwatosa on Saturday for a colorful evening of two 20th-century sacred works.
Bel Canto music director Richard Hynson led the combined ensembles in thoughtful, moving performances of Duruflé's "Requiem," from 1947, and Poulenc's "Gloria," which premiered in 1961. »Read Full Article
Chris Tomlin shows his passion for Christian music
Chris Tomlin did the old "how many first timers? how many veterans?" audience poll at the start of his Milwaukee Theatre show Saturday night. Not surprisingly, the majority of cheers in the largely full theater were from the newbies. Tomlin's "Burning Lights," released in January, was just the fourth contemporary Christian music album ever to top the Billboard charts.
What's interesting is that, unlike fellow chart-topping Christian artist TobyMac, Tomlin went No. 1 while being far more explicit about God. Saturday's concert was even halted for a 40-minute sermon by Tomlin's pastor (and the head of his record label) Louie Giglio. »Read Full Article(4)

We contacted the Modification Group, and they talked us into using their company to modify our home loan. They asked for three payments totaling to $1995.00. They also said it would take up to 90 days to get our loan modified, and if they were unsuccessful, we would get an 80% refund.
TMG faxed us all the documents we needed to sign. We fill out the required information along with all of our financial documentation and faxed it back several times. This company would call us every week in the beginning. They would give the same update by letting us know that their lawyers are working with our bank towards a modification and a close could be at any time now.
After about 6 months, the weekly update phone calls would turn to monthly update phone calls. Finally, there were no phone calls. We called them over and over again. Sometimes we would get through and they would make us re-send all financial documents over and over again. I lost track of how many times I had to send them financial documents.
Our bank has sent us a letter stating that they are unable to modify our loan. It's been a year and half since we filed with the Modification Group. There is no loan modification, no more phone calls. We cannot contact them nor do they contact us. There is no refund and they have all of our financial records.
Upon research, its obvious that this company is a bunch of scam artists and need to be delt with. Not only did they rip us off, but I've learned they have also ripped off over 90 other people or families of their hard earned money.
My wife and I have filed a complaint with the Ohio Attorney General's office. They gave us a complaint number as they have filed a lawsuit against the Modification Group. Whether we get our money back or not, I hope justice is done. Anyone can find out about this lawsuit by looking online. Just type (TMG lawsuit) in a search engine and you can read all about it. Thank you Ohio Attorney General for helping us with this matter.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I have been in contact with an astrologer named Rochelle Gordon since about December 2003 and she has been sending me so many proposals stating that if I purchase certain items from her that my life will turn out to be something unimaginable, like winning the lotto, etc. Sad to say that until today whatever she sent me has not turned out to be fruitful. Also whatever the items she sent me, it seems like it has been stacked up in some corner for many years and wanting to get rid of them. I being the victim of circumstances, fell for this goose trap and have purchased nearly 8 items from her to no avail. I have spent nearly US$160/= until today. Whenever I send her a message asking to refund the money, which she gives an iron glad guarantee that if you are not satisfied with the items sent, I could always ask her for a refund unconditionally. I have sent her many mails and she did not have the decency in replying to any of them in an appropriate manner. I am sick and tired of all the B.S. that she says in her readings. Therefore, I am kindly requesting someone to highlight me whether this person is reliable or is she just an hoax? I am suffering with my job as my so-called boss doesn't pay my salary in time and above all Rochelle tells me that I will get a windfall of some sort or even win the lotto on the particular dates mentioned, but nothing has happened until today to me, except that I am suffering physically and mentally due to the prevailing conditions.
I would appreciate if someone out there can help and guide me on this rather crucial matter.
Thanks you for taking the time in reading my grievance and responding in a timely manner.

UK police investigating Lockerbie cleared to visit Libya for the first time, Cameron reveals during latest leg of African tour
- Prime Minister greeted by locals during walkabout in Martyr's Square
- Deal secured for officers from Dumfries and Galloway investigating 1998 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 to travel to Tripoli for the first time
- Mr Cameron promises to bolster police and army in the country amid concerns about security situation
- British special forces to train troops across Africa to deal with Al Qaeda
British detectives investigating the Lockerbie bombing are to travel to Libya for the first time.
Under a deal sealed by David Cameron on his surprise visit to Tripoli yesterday, officers from the Dumfries and Galloway force in Scotland will travel to the Libyan capital next month.
The team of detectives hope to track down the masterminds behind Britain's worst ever terrorist atrocity, in which 270 people died in 1988 after the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie.
Scroll down for video
Prime Minister David Cameron met Libyan President Megarief during his surprise visit to Tripoli yesterday
David Cameron returned to Martyrs Square in Tripoli, Libya yesterday where he met market traders and locals during a surprise visit to the city
The Prime Minister was mobbed by crowd during his walkabout ahead of a meeting with Libyan PM Ali Zeidan and President Megarief
270 people were killed when Pan Am flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie in December 1988
Metropolitan Police detectives investigating the murder of WPC Yvonne Fletcher, who was gunned down outside Libya's London embassy in 1984, were also given permission to make a fourth visit to the country later this month.
Mr Cameron, who defied security warnings to travel to Libya, told a press conference in Tripoli: 'In all of these cases I want to achieve justice and full uncovering of all the facts.'
It is the first time Mr Cameron has been to Libya since his triumphant speech in September 2011 to mark the downfall of Colonel Gaddafi
David Cameron yesterday promised Britain would do more to help Libyan security as he addressed a graduation ceremony for Police Officers in Tripoli
Mr Cameron addressed new recruits to the Libyan police at a training camp, where he promised more help from Britain
British police and troops are expected to work closely with their Libyan counterparts amid concern that the new government has struggled to get a grip on security
Hailing the breakthrough as a dividend of the Arab Spring, he added: 'It is unthinkable that they would ever have been allowed into the country to ask questions under Gaddafi.'
Former Libyan intelligence officer
Abdelbaset al-Megrahi remains the only person ever convicted over the
Lockerbie atrocity.
He died in May 2012, three years after being
controversially released from a Scottish prison on compassionate
But several other Libyan figures are thought to have been involved in the attack, which turned Libya into a pariah state under Colonel Gaddafi.
Scottish detectives will now hold talks with the Libyan authorities on the scope of their inquiry.
A government source said: 'They are very keen to come to Libya to talk to people and follow leads that they have.'
Mr Cameron insisted that despite the upsurge in violence in Libya, the Arab Spring was 'still part of the solution, not the problem'.
He said the lesson of past efforts to cosy up to brutal dictators in the Middle East was that it 'stores up problems for the future'.
Weapons from Libya are thought to have been involved in the Algerian gas
plant massacre last month in which six Britons died.
Acknowledging problems in the region, Mr Cameron said: 'Of course, when a brutal dictator is removed after 40 years, inevitably you take the lid off all sorts of problems and tensions.'
But, announcing new co-operation on security, he said a stable Libya would benefit the world.
He said: 'We're much better off in Britain with a democratic Libya but we'll only be truly better off when it's a secure and democratic Libya.'
Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan backed the investigation into Lockerbie, saying it was important to 'know the facts' about the Gaddafi regime's crimes. Mr Zeidan said he was willing to discuss further measures to achieve 'truth and justice'.
He hailed Mr Cameron's 'courageous' decision to come at a time when observers fear Libya is in danger of becoming a crucible for militants across the Sahara region.
Earlier, Mr Cameron had toured a police training centre on the outskirts of Tripoli.
He told police recruits it was 'very good to be back'. 'I will never forget the scenes I saw in Tripoli and Benghazi,' he said, referring to his visit to Libya in 2011 after the toppling of Gaddafi.
'The British people want to stand with you and help you deliver the greater security that Libya needs.
'In building a free and secure Libya you will have no greater ally than the UK. We will stick with you every step of the way.'
Hundreds of police recruits in navy blue uniforms lined up in the Tripoli sunshine to listen to the British Prime Minister
Mr Cameron was joined by Libya's Interior Minister Ashour Shuail at the graduation ceremony for Police Officers
The two Prime Ministers later held a press conference, as it emerged UK police investigating the Lockerbie bombing have been given permission to visit Tripoli

Top Ten Best Operating Systemseddie ie. Linux - fedora, ubuntu etc..., Mac, Windows - XP, Vista etc...
The Top TenXW
Windows 7 is the best OS from Microsoft I have ever experienced...
Easy to install... Crash free... Fabulous Graphics Support for HQ Games.. And more...
Windows Vista is the worst OS from Microsoft...
Very simple to install and better UI also best security.
Very good themes.
Less virus detector... And fabulous display... Maximum features And many more
Everyone should get oneV905 Comments
This is lovely
This is friendly
This is fastest
This is best
All at once it must be on top
Fastest Microsoft operating system yet. It has more security features and adds an extra twist and extra compatibility to Windows.
Windows 8 make it better than the previous versions of windows 0S and others are its modern and new features. Seems like windows give it a new taste and experience with user's perspective. More secure, reliable and tangible as well with its metro and touch interface. With its beta releases, the DP, CP and RP, grabs good comments. However, desktop users says this OS a no-no for desktop, instead tablet or other touch integrated pcs. For me, I like it way better for easy navigation of settings. Hope windows make this os compatible with older pcs. Cause some reports say that it will just successfully install with later pcs.
Wait 8 is the worst, and runner up for best?V508 Comments
Ubuntu is a mixture of Windows and Macintosh. Looks like mac but shortcut keys is similar to windows. Great work. I love it
They should sell computers with Ubuntu pre-installed!
I really like the OS, but the thing that so bad is that it uses java iced tea and not java sun
But much better than windows Vista
It really rock me. Windows os gets nothing. Haha sorry to all windows users
Linux should be the bestV603 Comments
It is just awesome. It has the start button back, you can boot to the desktop, the start screen can be personalized in more ways with more tile sizes, group naming, more apps and more. The store has apps and a better look. Has a more "metro" control panel and more. IT IS GOT TO BE THE BEST OS FROM MICROSOFT
A great replacement for those who hate windows 8. It is sure to be a success as it has been seen in the past!, Its preview ain't that much but what is instore is awesome!
It's cool! Microsoft included a new way of personalizing, customizing and searching!.. It's free on the web!.. Try download it, and experience the "SMARTEST" version of OS that Microsoft have ever created!.. ;-)
This is my favourite.V219 Comments
This is all time favorite.. None other than Windows XP
Why though. It's from the early 2000's and was very virus prone, and quite low performance.
Hey it's Really good because it is easy to learn & install & also it fast than other OS
Best hacker-friendly operating system out there. You may say windows 7 is better, but it is that windows 7 is a mix of XP and vista together. So after all, windows XP is best OS, windows related.
Windows xp might not be the best operating system, but it represents the good times of windows.V309 Comments
Fast and secure, it has everything I want and everything anyone should really need. If you can't find it in mint, it probably doesn't exist.
Mint is a easy to use operating system based on linux, reliable and great for new users. Based on ubuntu, there is a lot of software available on it
Mint is faster than windows and it is secured by package system
It's better simple and useful for develop everythingV214 Comments
By far one of the easiest operating systems to learn for a complete beginner (although switching from windows has a slight learning curve). Ideal for the artist and everyday user, the Mac OS is a personal favourite. The fact that it's unix based makes it quite similar to linux with very similar terminal commands. The only downside to Mac OS is the small range of games and the high price of the Macintosh computer required to run Mac OS X
Unfair to classify OSX as a single stand-alone OS and compare it to Windows as a long list of very different systems from 3.1 to whatever they're doing this week. OSX is a variant of Unix based on FreeBSD which is in turn based on BSD that predates MSDOS by a decade (~) by my recollection. Microsoft should join the rest of the world and help create a unified OS core such that each variant merely offers their own "flavoured" shell. Windows was nothing but a menu system for MSDOS. A Unified system would solve many of the problems of writing code for all computers to use.
Yea the whole reason why macs never get viruses is because hackers don't see any profit in hacking a mac, even though macs arc is 64bit or higher currently pc's hold the market shares in the US, thus being hackers will see profit in hacking a pc and get more enjoyment out of it rather than trying to waste time on a mac, and wit a pc you can do a hell of a lot more than just a mac where you can only do graphic arts, music design, and so forth, and not even good enough to run games on it, oh yea another thing bout macs is that the os is pretty much locked and simplyfied where there's rly no probs with the mac osx and if there ever is any probs that the user experiences they always run to the apple store because they don't know squat on how to resolve the issue, when pc users can fix issues on their own and not have to run to the apple store for help. So yea I think the numerical order of os'es should remain the same currently.
Windows is best from thisV190 Comments Visit Website9
What about Chrome OS?
Not the same as android
In a year it will be the number 3 OS
Yeah but chrome does seem to be the most used web browser in the world
Android 4.1 is a fairly stale operating system with great customization options. Fun withgets will light your way into a a very interesting society, where you control everything. I would recommend this operating system in a heartbeat!
Android is definitely the best operating system because it is an upcoming fairly new OS that is very simple and is very safe in the way of virus protection and speed.
Best os as per myselfV90 Comments
The best operating system I have ever used, thanks to Microsoft,
It is best fastest operating system ever. It's better than windows 8
This is the best for me ever seen...
I have Win. XP on the computer I built and it is really fast especially with more RAM.V89 Comments
I have Vista with Service Pack 2 and it is an awesome OS. May have sucked back in its infancy but is now an awesome, reliable, and stable OS with Service Pack 2. Just as good if not better than Windows 7 in my opinion.
Those who had trouble with Vista were trying to use it on inadequate hardware. I have been using Vista since its inception. It is stable and fast. Unfortunately many software vendors are neglecting Vista when making upgrades. I have used every version of Windows beginning with Windows 2.0. I have Windows 7 on my notebook but prefer Vista. Windows 8 (all versions) sucks. How can they call it Windows when the applications all run full screen?
Vista 64 is my first and only positive experience with a Microsoft OS. The week it released (Jan '07) I purchased the retail box version 64 bit home premium. OS installed in 15 minutes and had perfectly working 64 bit drivers for every piece of hardware in the system without update or need of component-included driver/install software to operate at full capacity updated to proper drivers shortly after.I didn't have the problem that most complained about. I suspect not enough consumers understood the difference between 32 and 64 bit processing / hardware and its ramifications.My Vista system has been in daily use for the past 8 years without a single software crash. I really don't understand why Vista is generally thought of so poorly.I don't know if I trust this survey considering 2 different versions of Windows XP are on the list bloated, unstable, patch-happy, and slow. I haven't seen a BSOD in a decade, can any XP user claim that?
What piece of garbage, dude? You are a retard! Vista is BEAST!V43 Comments
The Contenders
The greatest! Does not crash. FREE. All services built in - web server (apache, php sql), dns server... Etc... - eddie
Fedora is definitively the best operating system out there. All software is out of the box, and with boxes, you can install multiple operating system into fedora. There is no reason to not use fedora over anything else.
Best OS and Free of Cost. Much more uptime compared to windows. Timely Updates, proper use, no crash and Boxes help to build VM under Fedora
Have been running Fedora since version 2, now running version 23 and can install and update anything (including the kernel) on-the-fly with no downtime or reboots. It just keeps running and running and running.V43 Comments
Awesome very simple and reliable better than windows
I like it ver
Very easy to use and it even supports adobe flash which is very nice this is the best one yet!
Mac OS X Leopard is a MAJOR leap for Apple. It's very good! The only problem I have with it is that Apple doesn't support it anymore; so I updated to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. It's almost just like Mac OS X Leopard and best of all, it's not obsolete!
Pity it's not supported any more why does apple change every year rather than updateV13 Comments
It's fast, It's reliable, It takes full responsibility of every move you do. It is the Windows of the future, It is worth every penny you've spent to buy this because of its features, Design, Speed, Accuracy, Privacy, and Security. If you even hesitated to buy Windows 7, Just buy this OS, Who knows, Maybe in the future some programs you need are only compatible with windows 10.
The future coming OS! There are lots of great features in Windows 10! Some of the great features are combined old start menu + new metro apps, tablet mode, continuum, Cortana, Microsoft Edge, notification center, multitasking desktop and many more... And there are coming developing technologies which will work with Windows 10 like Microsoft Surface, HoloLens. The best thing is the same OS will work on all platforms whether it is phone, tablet, Xbox, laptop or desktop! All data will be syncing.. Transferable data across all platforms! The future is here!
Windows 10 is great. Don't mind the start menu, love Cortana (opening the weather verbally while doing something else is really handy), Xbox app seems pretty cool. The fact that it's designed to work with normal pc's and tablets/smartphones as well as hybrids makes it very appealing. User interface for Windows Defender is quite improved. Love the task view. The software that's easily available in the Windows Store is really useful. Only downside is that any software installed from the Windows Store is hard to find and access on your computer and ends up scrambled into several folders. Thanks Microsoft. But that aside, Windows 10 is still easier to navigate than Mac OS X and Windows 8, has better access to files than in Android, and is faster, more flexible and more capable than Windows XP and the Home and Enterprise editions of Windows 7. Overall, it's the best OS I've ever used.
Upgraded to Windows 10 last month and it's the best.V248 Comments
It is the operating system that brought revolution.. Introduced cursor, graphics and the gaming system.. It is without a doubt the best operating system there is.. So my vote goes to windows 98
Windows 98 is epic because it is fast. It's faster than my laptop running Windows 7. It runs Office Word well, and it can run many powerful and great games.
Windows 98 is a faster operating system created by Microsoft and is the successor to windows 95. Windows 95 might be faster than windows 98 because it was loading faster and it was more reliable. My vote goes to windows 98.
Give on window 98V19 Comments
Love my Chromebook and it's super fast bootup along with light weight portability. Security like no other OS on the Planet too!
Boots in 7 seconds. Incredibly stable. Lowest cost speed and power. No need for virus-ware. Never lose stuff -- it's in the cloud. Software updates don't require user to download/install. Device performance doesn't degrade over time. Google Cloud Print eliminates the need to download/install printer drivers and works from any device. Great support for Google Remote Desktop and Chromecast. No Windows registry.
Fast booting, easy using, auto updating, cloud storing. I love it!
Needs to be merged to Android.V22 Comments
Most stable, powerful, and intuitive interface in the world. Smartest computer, easiest to use, and just the best around. Nothing beats good ol' Apple! - musicamentek
It's the best OS I've ever used
Tried ubuntu, red hat and all versions from Microsoft
Unlike windows it just works, is relabel and easy to use. Also unlike common belief it can run most popular games such as most of the Call of Dutys. It can do this better than windows only because its apple!
My dream os
go for it
More stable, more reliable than XP, and fun too. So far the best system I have tried. I liked Snow Leopard but this is a definite upgrade. Using Mountain lion with Parallels for Windows applications is smooth as silk.
It's pretty good OS. I'm using it and I don't have any problems
I tried all of the top ten right now and mountain lion is the best, there is this bootcamp feature and you can install any operating system that you want, but you must make a second mac you can do that using disk utility. (if you want mac and the other OS
Although I like OS X Mavericks better it was a great leap from lion which was definitely necessary or OS X Mavericks wouldn't be here.V7 Comments
Elementary OS is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu (which is in turn based on Debian). It makes use of a desktop with its own shell named Pantheon, and is deeply integrated with other elementary OS applications like Plank (a dock based on Docky), Midori (the default web browser) and Scratch (a simple text editor). This distribution uses Gala as its window manager, which is based on Mutter.
Elementary is a great OS, very nice to look at and so easy to use. My wife has had it on her laptop for more than a year, it has never crashed, never locks up it "just works" and of course it is free as in beer and speech.
And of course as it's Linux and based on Ubuntu it has many thousands of free applications to do any thing your ever likely to want to do on a computer.
Well, one of the most underrated operating system on this planet. I've used all the major os like win 7,8, ubuntu, linux mint etc. but this is the only os which made me feel happy to use. AMAZING UI and graphics. Everything in this os is just so... Perfect. LOVE THIS OPERATING SYSTEM. AMAZING work by the developers.
Best OS of all time, easy to use, pretty, but still linux under the hoodV24 Comments
Hell yes, what happened to the original windows? The start menu was the best invention ever by Microsoft and they took it away in windows 8, I mean I'm a computer tech and ill be doing something in windows 8 and hit some random key that brings up that dumb ass tile crap. I Despise windows 8, almost as much as I hate Vista and Windows Millennium Edition
The first ever operating system in the Windows series to introduce a simple but very useful and working component called the Start Menu of the Windows operating system, now ridden of and put into damnation by Windows 8...
Win 95 Plus version was so cool. By far, simplest and most crash resistant OS for me... (or maybe I learnt too much after that! )
They added the start menu back in Windows 10.V13 Comments
Very stable linux. Works perfectly. Never fails. MADE IN Germany
Super Stable, Everything under the sun always works perfectly and it is FREE! So you can not beat that, plus no Virus or Malware in the last almost 20 years I have used it. It is superior to any FREE or paid for OS I know and can be customized and never slows down.
Very stable linux. Works perfectly.

MiniSquadron, a new 2D aerial dogfighting game from MrFungFung, is now available in the app store. The smooth controls, terrific soundtrack, and plethora of unlockable aircraft almost make up for the lack of online multiplayer and global leaderboards.
MiniSquadron contains 8 different maps, each of which require you to clear 12 waves of enemies to unlock the next stage. You begin by choosing your plane. There are 56 available in the game, but only one that is unlocked from the start. Success in competition will unlock other aircraft, each of which have its own weapon types, max air speed, turn rate, armor rating, and reload time, values that help you choose the right aircraft for the situation. Unlocking these new planes and "collecting" all 56 is one of the more exciting challenges in the game. Each battle pits you against a variety of enemies, from other fighter jets to UFOs to birds (they don't put up much of a fight).
The actual gameplay is very smooth and highly enjoyable. There is a virtual joypad on the lower left side for steering, and a fire button in the lower right corner. There is no autofire option. You must tap repeatedly to unleash the force of your weapon on others. Of course, you must also dodge incoming fire from your enemies. You have 3 hearts representing your three lives. You can only take so much damage before you go down in flames. Lose all of your hearts and it's game over. Each enemy takes multiple shots to eradicate, so patience and careful aiming are essential. The entire map takes up a few screens worth of length, so you will eventually hit a boundary. Doing so simply inverts your plane and sends it back in the opposite direction, without penalty. Any enemies off-screen are indicated by a tiny arrow, showing its altitude. Firing at these arrows is recommended as you will usually connect with a shot or two once the aircraft does appear. Shooting down planes will sometimes release a power-up, such as an extra heart, ghost mode, slow down, invincibility, or any number of other special circumstances. These power-ups don't hold their position or fall straight to the ground, though. They dart around the screen erratically, causing much angst as you try to catch up to the bonus without taking additional fire.
Graphically, the 2D style actually works very well, and the game has a fun, slightly cartoonish vibe. The planes are relatively tiny, without a great amount of detail, which allows for maximum airspace in which to fight. Some of the aircraft is visually plain, but others are wildly imaginative, such as the one that looks like a pitchfork or the one with the panda head. The soundtrack uses a bunch of different classical music tracks, which is both relaxing and fun to listen to. The controls works amazingly well, and there is a sensitivity option to allow you to fine-tune them. Loop-the-loops and rolls are performed with ease. You must watch your screen boundaries, however, as flying too high will stall your plane and flying too low will, of course, cause you to crash. You can pull out of a stall, but the ground is unforgiving. The enemy AI is very balanced, putting up a very good challenge that should please gamers.
Replay value is pretty good, as there are lots of unlockable planes and addictively fun gameplay. This is the type of game that screams out for online multiplayer and global leaderboards, so that you can fight random people and figure out who is top dog. Unfortunately, MiniSquadron launched with only local wifi-multiplayer and local leaderboards. This puts a bit of a crimp in its replay value, but an update could fix all that quickly. There is an auto-save feature, but it only saves after every 3 waves, not at the conclusion of each wave or even wherever you are when you close out of the game. While this is acceptable, it can be frustrating if you get a call or hit the home button mid-way through the ninth wave, wiping out any progress since the conclusion of the sixth wave. Regardless of these minor gripes, MiniSquadron remains one of the more exciting games we've played lately. At $2.99, MiniSquadron is a great value, as this could have easily found an audience at a higher price. As much as we want to apply the 5-Dimple tag to this game, its lack of online multiplayer and leaderboards currently drops MiniSquadron to a solid 4-Dimple score.
MiniSquadron gets our AppSmile 4-Dimple rating:

so no rossi, rooney, smith or scholes for wed night, will make very interesting watching to see how they adapt as we may see scenario repeated many times throughout the season.

i wish Smithy all the best for tonight,he always plays his heart out,i hope he continues to play all season,we need him,Smith and Solksyaer up front on Wednesday!?

i think id would be a big risk to pin our hopes on Smithy filling Rooneys boots while hes out suspended. Smithys only just on the mend.. i would rather see Ronaldo play just off Saha while Rooneys out... and bring in Richardson or Park on wing.

I saw Utd playing that system in pre-season. Ronaldo was much more effective when he played on the wing. Although, I think Giggs can play the "in behind the striker" role well

I forgot to add that it will also be a good opportunity to see if a Smith/Rossi partnership will work. It looks as if Rooney & Saha will be the first choice partnership but it doesn`t hurt to have a backup pair who are used to playing together.

It's very good news for both. Rossi will have his chance yet. Maybe this weekend and always good to hear about Smudgie's coming back.

More Police On The Road This Weekend
Posted August 30th, 2014 @ 6:42am by WOOD Radio news team
Michigan State Police troopers are putting special emphasis on dangerous driving behaviors over Labor Day weekend.
In a news release, the state police say troopers are joining their counterparts from across the country in a traffic safety initiative called Operation C.A.R.E.
Operation C.A.R.E. was formed to deter three causes of highway fatalities: aggressive driving, impaired driving and failure to use restraints.
It began in 1977 as a collaborative effort between the MSP and the Indiana State Police and is one of the nation's longest-running traffic safety initiatives.

Thanks to Editage and Medlist International for practical help and advice.
Today there is increasing interest towards doing research for academic upliftment and career development but there should be applications of the research to uplifting society. Particularly new technology needs to be spread from lab to the field so that the yield and economy of the farmers is increased - and particularly the agricultural universities and research institutions should publish all their innovative research for the benefit of society.
There should be better collaboration and coordination between govt and research institutions. For example, periodically once in a month they should sit together and think over their aims.

In New Zealand, in the 1980s-1990s, an attempt to decentralize government research and increase collaboration between government research institutes and universities was hijacked and turned into a privatization program - in a country with a very small economy and few industries big enough to fund their own research on the same scale that could be achieved by well-organized government institutions. But there have been adjustments and improvements in the system for public funding of research, and not all the changes have been bad. It is really difficult to balance the rresources available for research with the need to be socially useful, the need to support new as well as existing industries, and the need to support a general culture of learning, innovation, respect for useful traditions, and public service.
I wonder if any areas or large cities of India have been more outstanding in - say- provincial government support for public research?

text: 000 FXUS63 KDLH 242344 AFDDLH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 644 PM CDT WED AUG 24 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 644 PM CDT Wed Aug 24 2016 Cirrus shield covers northwest Wisconsin into east central Minnesota. Meanwhile, some cumulus was affecting northern Minnesota. Expect some of the cumulus to erode with the loss of solar heating. Cirrus will persist and possibly expand a bit farther west. Made some adjustments to cloud cover and other minor tweaks. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday) Issued at 249 PM CDT Wed Aug 24 2016 A cold front is nearly through the Northland as of this afternoon ushering in lower dew points and sunny skies. The upper low associated with this cooler air is still off to the northwest and will move northeast across southern Manitoba into northwest Ontario tonight into Thursday, resulting in increasing clouds and a chance for rain showers across northern Minnesota. With 850mb temps falling to around +5C, this could be the coolest airmass since about July 1 looking at sounding records at International Falls, resulting in highs in the 60s in northeast Minnesota, low 70s in northwest Wisconsin. Tonight the line of clouds and a few showers along the cold front will have moved off to the east and the fair-weather cu across north- central Minnesota will dissipate, resulting in clear skies except for some high-level clouds moving in from central Minnesota spreading across parts of northwest Wisconsin this evening. With dew points currently in the low to mid 50s behind the front, low temperatures are expected to fall just as cool, except warmer near Lake Superior and larger inland lakes. Early Thursday morning and through the day Thursday clouds will be on the increase from west to east across the Northland as the upper low approaches. At this point it looks like the track of the low will keep the best chances for precip and most clouds over north- central to northeast Minnesota, while northwest Wisconsin will see partly sunny skies. Isolated to scattered rain showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms are expected through the day as the upper low lifts into northwest Ontario. Cooler air aloft will result in a bit of instability - up to 500 j/kg along the international border - which will be enough to produce a few thunderstorms. Besides the clouds and chance for precip, west-northwest winds will be breezy at 10-15 mph with peak gusts approaching 30mph. Highs in the low to mid 60s in north-central Minnesota, warmer in the upper 60s to low 70s in northwest Wisconsin. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 249 PM CDT Wed Aug 24 2016 Initially in the extended, aloft a trough will move across Ontario into Quebec. At the surface a trailing surface trough will move northeastward from northern MN into Ontario. This will bring a few scattered showers to the MN Arrowhead. Behind the trough, high pressure will build into the region. This will bring decreasing cloud cover and a cool night with lows ranging from the mid to upper 40s inland, to the low to mid 50s along the Lake Superior shoreline. High pressure will remain in place over the Northland for Friday. This will result in dry and quiet weather. Will see 850 hPa warm air advection with temperatures around 10-12 degrees Celsius. This will result in high temperatures in the 70s throughout the Northland. A positively tilted trough axis will dig and deepen into the Northern Plains on Friday and become neutrally tilted as it moves into northern MN on Saturday. There still are some differences with the progression of the trough moving in and through, with the GFS/GEM being a bit more progressive and the NAM/ECMWF a bit slower. Decided to compromise between the two solutions as suggested by the latest GEFS output. So, have chance POPs from Saturday into early Sunday before precipitation chances decrease as the system exits. Highs on Saturday will be around 70, while readings on Sunday will be a bit warmer with highs in the low to mid 70s. Mild temperatures are in store for Monday with WAA bringing 850 hPa temperatures around 18 degrees Celsius. Still kept the forecast dry, but the GFS/ECMWF hints at a cold front moving into MN from a mature cyclone moving across northern Manitoba. The ECMWF is a bit slower with this front, but has better upper level support for the system. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening) Issued at 644 PM CDT Wed Aug 24 2016 VFR through much of the forecast.

How do I either unload jetpack or fix the problem?
Last week I updated all of my plugins. Over the weekend I noticed that our websites pages had no or little content. Since I manage the website and do not know any coding we had to pay $40 to get a backup restored. Yesterday I went through the website and was updating the plugins one-by-one. When I just installed the update to 2.9 for the jetpack, my company's website went down again. At least I know that the problem is Jetpack. I went through your troubleshooting list and everything else works fine except Jetpack.
Someone please help me fix this so we don't have to pay more money. I tried going through support, but no word yet. I need to get my website back up. Then we need to decide if this is really worth our using.
Thank you!

One of the most memorable scenes in a film full of them is Harvey Dent's press conference in The Dark Knight. Set after the Joker demands Batman turn himself in, Gotham's district attorney holds a press conference to discuss the city's options. He questions: "Should we give into this terrorist's demands?" "Things are worse than ever," argues a reporter. As the crowd rumbles in agreement, Dent unleashes a masterclass in argument reversal: "Yes, they are. But the night is darkest just before the dawn. I promise you: the dawn is coming." And eventually, the dawn did come, as *spoilers* Batman was able to defeat the Joker by the end of the movie...

Mrs Dalloway Memory and the Past Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Section.Paragraph)
Quote #10
Oh yes, Sally remembered; she had it still, a ruby ring which Marie Antoinette had given her great-grandfather. She never had a penny to her name in those days, and going to Bourton always meant some frightful pinch. But going to Bourton had meant so much to her – had kept her sane, she believed, so unhappy had she been at home. But that was all a thing of the past – all over now, she said. (6.103)
Sally recalls when she pawned her jewelry to get to Bourton that summer. Bourton was a totally different world – one she would never forget.

"This is not your father's chamber of commerce," said Bob Heidt of the 230-plus revellers who rocked Cruiseport Gloucester's ballroom Saturday night for the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce's 91st annual dinner dance.
It was, literally, a stand-up crowd, leaping to its feet repeatedly to applaud, whoop, holler and hail what emcee Joey Ciaramitaro called an "outstanding year of turnaround" under Heidt, who took over the reins as chamber CEO last January with, by Heidt's account, a negative deficit of more than $60,000. This December, Heidt finished his first year in office "with a net recorded profit in excess of $90,000."
Of the "$150,000 positive swing," Chamber Chairman of the Board Mark Grenier told the cheering crowds, "respect is earned, not given, and we chose the right person in Robert Heidt … he listens, he learns, and he implements for the chamber."

Oops, Rubber Duck told Ed the rolls were a food challenge.
What I like about this island, the natives are so staid and honor decorum. All photos after this were a blur of 200 napkins.
Fifteen minutes earlier Joey was helping unload the last boat. Cleans up pretty good.
EJ and Paul really came through with the slides for my presentation. I owe them a huge debt of gratitude for helping make Ed's night special.
You know normally I'd start out a photo montage mostly about Ed with a photo of Ed but The Photo of The Night Was of None Other Than New Chamber CEO Robert Heidt Getting His Groove On-
Robert's just going for it right here! Feelin' It! The Music Last Night From Henri Smith to the Runaround Was Easily The Best Music Ever Played At Any Chamber Event I've attended! Killed It!
Presenting Ed-
aaaand then there's all the rest of the pictures Felicia took…
Sorry we didn't have more photos from the event, we didn't bring out the good camera and we were having too much fun dancin!
A rare opportunity to see Grammy-winning Charles Neville with Henri Smith and an 8 piece band at the historic Larcom Theatre. With its elegant horseshoe balcony, antique pressed tin ceilings and original silk wall coverings, the Larcom is a jewel practically in our own back yard. Don't miss it, get tickets NOW!
You could get yourself in the mood by going to see Our Boy Ed get sworn in as the next Chamber President at Cruiseport this Saturday — Henri Smith & Runaround will provide music and Our Boy Joey will be the MC!
And there's plenty of great live music all week long too — just to get you in the mood. See the week's live music schedule here.
Ed being the modest guy he is (bwahahahahahahah) hasn't told y'all on these pages but his big coronation party is coming up this Saturday.
He will be the new emperor at the Chamber of Commerce for 2013 after a successful year led by Mark Grenier.
I'll be emceeing his crowning at Cruiseport Saturday night. There are sure to be fireworks, dancing girls, flying monkeys, midget tossing, booze, music, playmates, dignitaries, and I heard Tom Brady may even be swinging by to sign autographs and let you feed his newborn, so if you would like to come and celebrate with Ed and other Chamber Folk there's still time to buy tickets.
Contact the Chamber to reserve your seat, contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call 978-283-1601.
This is going to be the face of the Chamber?
Don't worry, this won't hurt a bit
I don't know how he does it without claws. I guess cats are just quicker than rats. Either that or he's just relentlessly going for the kills all day long and every once in a while gets lucky.
Guess we may as well poll it.
When I first heard of the turbine coming to Gloucester I was angry. I felt as though it was only going to benefit one company, the company that was installing it and the money to pay for it was money that taxpayers subsidized and that most of these green energy projects are simply advertising vehicles reaching out to liberal tree-huggers who would buy any thing at any cost as long as you slapped the "It's Green" sticker on it.
I let our Ed Collard and Sarah Kelly take opposing editorial views in a post before hand and I was still skeptical. View That Post Here-
Then I read Mayor Kirk's editorial in the Gloucester Daily Times in which she stated that the City of Gloucester would "conservatively" have 90% of it's energy needs paid for by the partnership and that number would be conservatively $450,000 per year.
Read that post here-
With that huge savings for the taxpayers of Gloucester my mind was changed. Now with the Varian one erected, looking at it doesn't bother me at all. I mean not in the least. I actually think it looks kinda cool.
Now if we look back a year from when the thing kicks off and see that the City only gets a tiny fraction of what it think's it's going to get I will be supremely pissed and feel duped and I'll rail against every phoney baloney green energy claim that comes down the pike but I'm going to be cautiously optimistic that we will indeed provide those savings.
Now that the Turbine is up and you can see what it looks like on the horizon and you know what we know about the projected savings would you say that the turbines at Varian and Gloucester Engineering are a good thing or not?
Please vote in the new poll-
On our last poll in which we asked if the City of Gloucester would get more or less that $450K in Energy Savings over two thirds of voters chose under.
I'm more optimistic and I hope Mayor Kirk once the energy audit from the first year comes out gets to say "IN YOUR FACE!" to all the doubters and we get well over $450,000 per year in energy savings.
Sarah Kelly writes-
The city of Gloucester is allegedly going to share in the excess electricity generated by two 40-story turbines, soon to be installed by the Gloucester firm Varian. Unfortunately, the residents of the rest of Cape Ann will have two 40-story structures to look at for the rest of our lives without accruing any of the benefits of the energy allegedly generated. And before people respond by saying how much they love the Earth and turbines, let me state for the record that I am very fond of the Earth myself (I even capitalize the word!) and I'm all for turbines, by which I mean the responsible use of appropriately-scaled turbines as a back up for conventional energy sources — sources which come in handy when the wind doesn't blow or blows when you don't need it, which, frankly, is much the case with wind — and why we don't move freight around the world anymore via sailing ships.
All over the globe (especially in the American Midwest, English countryside and in Australia), there is a race to install massive, utility-scale turbines in what appears to be an effort to make a pile of money from tax credits while taking advantage of the public's low-grade (or full-throttle) hysteria about replacing conventional energy sources before the polar bears all die. This well-intended, deeply-felt desire to use energy more responsibly is circumventing common sense, and the profiteers have seen an opportunity to make a whole bunch of money, tearing around the planet to install massive turbines and wind farms — which can sometimes mean hundreds of massive turbines placed too close to homes in a scattershot, absolutely inefficient manner — before the public understands anything about utility-scale wind. The facts about utility-scale wind technology indicate that wind is just not viable as a mainstream energy source, utterly unsuitable for mass distribution. The technology, such as it is, lends itself to micro-development. So if someone wants to mount a wind turbine on the top of their house (or a turbine in a fast-moving body of water running through his/her property for hydro power) to offset the cost of their electricity, fantastic. But wind turbines become less efficient the more you scale up, which begs the question: why are the Varian turbines so huge? Would an installation of 1.0 megawatt turbines — more along the lines of 200 feet, and more to scale with Cape Ann's existing structures — have served Varian's needs just as well? By installing two 40-story skyscrapers, Varian has irrevocably, for all practical purposes, altered a landscape that belongs to all of us. And land is the ultimate non-renewable resource. Once land is industrialized, it is not easily reclaimed, which is why rural areas are zoned differently from urban areas. And while the area where the turbines will be located is zoned as industrial, I would bet that no one on the Zoning Board in Gloucester understood "industrial" to include skyscrapers when the zoning laws were put in place.
So I'm wondering: how is it that Varian can install two skyscrapers without a period of public comment from their non-Gloucester neighbors? Where's the nearest 40-story structure? A city, of course. In Boston, 248 skyscrapers make up the cityscape, only 27 of which are taller than 400 feet. But no longer will you have to go to Boston to experience the joys of seeing one of those 27 structures. We'll have our very own skyscrapers, a view of which we'll have from practically every window in downtown Gloucester, Lanesville, Annisquam, Rockport and Pigeon Cove.
Another factor is that these two 2.0 megawatt turbines, although in an area zoned for industry, are still potentially located too close to residences. International recommendations for the installation of utility-scale wind turbines vary, but the general consensus in Europe is that industrial scale turbines should not be installed within 1.5 miles of a residence, due to shadow flicker and low frequency vibrations that can cause serious health problems for some people. This is no joke, a fact to which people who have been made sick by living too close to massive wind turbines can attest. This situation may be great for Varian, arguably great for Gloucester (we'll see if the estimations of energy generated actually materialize), but what about the rest of us?
Ed Collard writes-
So the windmills are coming to Gloucester. I am of mixed thoughts on this but I'd have to say that overall I'm in favor of this. With the high cost of energy in dollars, the environment and human lives. I believe that we have to make some changes regarding our energy sources and windmills seem to be a clean, domestic and economical choice. Varian has put in a lot of time and money researching alternatives for their energy needs and would not be spending their money without careful consideration of the return on their investment. We have charged our elected officials, for one thing, to be prudent with our money and they have come to the conclusion that this will save us, the taxpayers on the city's energy needs. Regarding the visual aspect I for one will look at them knowing that we are being pro-active in our exploration for alternative energy sources. I don't like telephone polls but I sure do like my phone and cable. There will be many discussions about this in our coffee shops in the months to come but I think we can be proud of the fact that our city is doing something regarding our energy needs.
Any comments that are not civil on this post will not be approved.

Just about everyone in "Gimme the Loot" seems to be yelling, even when they're just talking.
Maybe that's because you have to raise your voice to make it heard above the constant din of life in New York City. If you don't speak up and make your mark, you'll be swallowed up and lost in the vast massive noise of it all.
This is a simple, meandering, slice-of-life indie film that feels more authentic than most "gritty" New York films with infinitely larger budgets. It's funny as hell, sometimes too self-consciously "indie" — but it leaves us with a final shot as perfect as anything I've seen to close a movie in quite some time.
Writer-director Adam Leon has a natural, casual style that makes us feel we're eavesdropping on the lives of Sofia (Tashiana Washington) and Malcolm (Ty Hickson), platonic friends determined to make names for themselves as graffiti artists in New York City.
Indulge me while I hit the pause button. There's a tendency by the mainstream media to glamorize "taggers" as free-spirited outlaw artists creating instant art as they express their hopes and dreams. (In a big-time soft-drink commercial currently airing, a "security camera" captures a graffiti artist writing "PEACE" on a store window. So because his message is positive, it's a cool move?) And, yes, sometimes that's true — but more often, taggers are vandals marking gang territory.
Fortunately, "Gimme the Loot" makes no moral judgment about Sofia and Malcolm, neither lecturing us nor aggrandizing them. They're petty criminals, and they're looking to commit more serious crimes, but they're also just a couple of teenagers roaming around a huge city that doesn't know they exist and couldn't care less what happens to them. They're not mean; they're not even completely hard-boiled, at least not yet. Options still await them, and we don't know which road they will eventually take.
Sofia is tough and smart and feisty. Malcolm is charming, and he talks a big game and has plenty of swagger, but he's also a bit of a goof who finds himself embroiled in comically ill-conceived capers.
Feeling disrespected after a rival team paints over their signature tags, Sofia and Malcolm hatch a plan that will put them on the graffiti map forever: They're going to tag the enormous red apple at Citi Field that rises up every time a New York Met hits a home run. (Like diehard White Sox fans who still call U.S. Cellular Field "Comiskey Park" or even "Sox park," these legacy Mets fans still call Citi Field "Shea Stadium.") But they need $500 in the next 24 hours to grease the skids for entrance into the field, so they embark on a series of capers, including an effort to fleece an upper-middle class Manhattan girl (Zoe Lescaze).
Whenever "Gimme the Loot" presents us with a potential movie cliche, e.g., that white Manhattan girl, it puts a different spin on it. And Leon's camera is almost a character unto itself, bobbing and weaving and circling as it follows Sofia when she tries to retrieve a stolen bike, or when she nearly collapses from exhaustion by trying to tail that rich girl while acting as a lookout for a hilarious attempted robbery.
At its heart, "Gimme the Loot" is about the relationship between Sofia and Malcolm. We're left hoping they can lean on each other to dream of even bigger schemes than leaving their signature on a big cheesy apple.

WBC: Chavez Must Fight Martinez, Winner Gets Rubio
The WBC has clarified the status of the middleweight division. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. won the WBC World Middleweight Championship as a mandatory challenger by defeating former champion Sebastian Zbik by unanimous decision this past June 4, 2011 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. It is anticipated that Chavez Jr. and WBC Emeritus and Diamond titleholder Sergio Martinez will meet in the first quarter of 2012.
Marco Antonio Rubio is the mandatory challenger of the division, and his time for the challenge, as stipulated in the WBC Rules and Regulations, is scheduled to be within one year after the last mandatory fight in the division, which was Zbik vs. Chavez.

Crystal Palace had seemingly been on the verge of signing the 29-year-old until Eagles manager Ian Holloway announced on Thursday morning that Bent had chosen Craven Cottage over Selhurst Park.
Fulham boss Martin Jol was reticent to comment in detail during his briefing on Thursday afternoon, but Lambert confirmed a deal - with the intention of it becoming permanent next summer - is close.
"He's just away down to Fulham," said the Villa boss.
"I think it's well-documented now that he's down there having a medical and that's the last I've heard."
Jol issued a cautious response to the reports.
"I don't know what's happening. Darren's probably doing his own thing. We're not sure about it," he said.
"We don't speculate on players and can only give an answer when a deal is finalised. We'll see in the next day or two.

I am "the host", so mail() wasn't disabled...as far as I know. I put a sniffer on and ran the script. It dies before the request leaves the page. I created testmail.php with a generic mail(to,subject,msg) and that registered in the sniffer, but with a misformed packet. Need help, this is a little deep for me.
