Glossary of Tablet Terms
3G/4G: 3G and 4G are mobile communication technology standards that provide Internet services to mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. The "G" stands for each generation of technology, making 4G (or LTE) the faster successor to 3G. Unlike tablets that are only Wi-Fi enabled, those with 3G or 4G will be able to access the Internet (and therefore email, social networks, app downloads, and the like) outside of wireless networks, providing more freedom to use all of your tablet's features. However, that connectivity usually comes with an increased cost, as well as a monthly fee.
Accelerometer: A motion sensor that detects a tablet's orientation. For example, when you turn your tablet from portrait to landscape orientation, the content will generally adjust to fit the screen. This is the accelerometer at work. Some games and apps also incorporate the accelerometer in other ways, though this varies from program to program.
Ambient Light Sensor: Determines how much light is available in the area surrounding your tablet and adjusts the screen brightness accordingly. This conserves battery life, allowing you to get more use out of each charge.
App Store: A digital distribution platform for software, such as the App Store for Apple® or the Google Play market found on Android™ devices. This allows you to download applications, or apps, sometimes for free and sometimes for a fee. Apps will vary by store, operating system, and manufacturer. Most tablets come with some apps preloaded.
Bit/Byte: A bit is the smallest unit of measurement for electronic data. Eight bits equals one byte; approximately 1,000 bytes equals one kilobyte (KB); 1,000 kilobytes equals one megabyte (MB); and 1,000 megabytes equals one gigabyte (GB). These units determine how much information your tablet can store and retrieve.
Bluetooth: A form of wireless communication allowing devices to communicate with each other. For example, a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse might be compatible with a tablet, allowing these components to be used wirelessly.
Bus Speed: Measured in megahertz (MHz), bus speed is the speed or frequency at which the data on the motherboard is moving.
Capacitive Touchscreen: A type of touchscreen display that is very responsive to finger touches, allowing easy swiping, which generally results in an intuitive user interface; however, they won't respond to a gloved hand or stylus. See touchscreen for more information.
Chipset: A set of electronic components in an integrated circuit that manages the data flow between the processor, memory, and peripherals. It is usually found in the motherboard of a computer or tablet.
Cloud Storage: Allows data to be stored virtually in storage space hosted by a third party, as opposed to on your physical hard drive. Cloud storage can be advantageous because it may make it easy to share information across devices or among users, as well as freeing up your own physical hard drive space.
DDR (Double Data Rate): A type of SDRAM (memory) that supports data transfers that effectively doubles the speed of the RAM. Double data rate type three (written DDR3), which is currently in use, is twice as fast as its predecessor.
Digital Media: Can refer to the places where digital files are stored (memory cards, hard drives) or the files themselves (photos, videos, MP3s).
eReader: Also called an eBook reader, this refers to a mobile electronic device designed for reading digital books (eBooks). While some tablets exist simply for this purpose, like the most basic Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble Nook models, most modern tablets have an eReader feature built-in, such as the iPad® iBook® app.
Expansion Slot: A slot that allows you to "expand" your tablet functions by using memory cards. Not all tablets have expansion slots, and they're generally more limited than those found in computers.
FaceTime®: A proprietary video calling service from Apple, which comes built into Mac® computers, as well as iPad, iPhone®, and internet-enabled iPod® devices. It functions basically the same as other video chatting services, though is restricted to users with Apple IDs (so you can't use FaceTime on your iPad to call a friend with an Android tablet). FaceTime calls can be made across various devices (iPad to iPhone, iPhone to Mac), so the service is particularly useful to those with multiple Apple devices.
Flash Memory: Sometimes called internal memory on tablets, this refers to how much room you have to store media files like photos, apps, and music. While a computer's hard drive might have hundreds of gigabytes of storage space, a tablet's memory much more limited, a trade-off for being so portable.
Geotagging: The process of adding geographical identification information to media. For example, if you take a photo with a GPS-enabled mobile device, the device may automatically add information about where the photo was taken. Usually, this can be turned on and off in a tablet's settings.
GPS/GLONASS: GPS stands for "Global Positioning System"; you're probably familiar with the ones designed strictly for vehicles, but modern mobile devices usually have some kind of GPS feature installed, eliminating the need for a standalone GPS. Some devices use GPS with GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System), which works alongside the GPS to provide faster, more accurate directions.
Graphics Card: Also called a video card, it's what allows the tablet to display pictures.
Gyroscope: Often combined with an accelerometer in a tablet, the gyroscope allows for more accurate recognition of movement. This is particularly useful in motion-controlled apps and certain games, which utilize more advanced controls than those that only use an accelerometer.
Hardware: The physical components of a tablet.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface): The uncompressed, all-digital standard used for high-definition (HD) quality for consumer electronics and PC products using a single cable (an HDMI cable).
Hertz (Hz): A unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second.
High Definition: Means that the screen will be "widescreen" and at least twice as clear as standard definition (which is 480 horizontal lines). Generally, anything at 720 or more horizontal lines will be considered HD; 1920x1080 resolution refers to Full HD; and 4K (or 4,000) horizontal lines refers to Ultra HD.
I/O Ports (Input/Output): The connectors on a tablet that connect its external devices, such as a USB port.
IPS (In-Plane Switching): LCD screen technology was first introduced in 1996 and now used in many displays. IPS technology offers wide viewing angles and consistent, accurate color reproduction without blur.
iSight® Camera: A proprietary camera of Apple, previously an external webcam. Not to be confused with a FaceTime camera, iSight refers to the rear cameras in more recent iPhone, iPad, and iPod models, which generally have a higher resolution than the front-facing FaceTime camera.
LAN (Local Area Network): A set of devices, such as computers, printers, or video games, physically or wirelessly connected for interactive communications wirelessly.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display): A type of display that uses standard compact fluorescent tubes to illuminate the picture. Unlike LEDs, they don't produce their own light.
LED Backlighting: A way of producing light in LCD screens, resulting in a much clearer, brighter, better-looking display.
Level 2 Cache: Often written as "L2 cache," this is a type of memory capable of high-speed storage, enabling quick access to the most recently used data and instructions.
Lightning Port/Cable: The power connector used on Apple devices starting in September 2012 with the iPhone 5, fourth-generation iPad, iPad mini™, 5th generation iPod touch®, and 7th generation iPod nano®. It replaced the 30-pin adapter, with Apple claiming improved functionality and power capacity as reasons for a new proprietary charger.
Lithium-ion/lithium-polymer: A light, rechargeable battery often used in portable electronics such as tablets and smartphones.
Memory: The place where a computer keeps programs and data. This could refer to the hard drive, RAM, or cache.
Memory Card Reader: A device that accesses data on a memory card, such as an SD card.
Motherboard: A tablet's main circuit board. It's the central, essential part of a computer to which most other integrated parts are connected.
Multi-touch: A touchscreen or touchpad, sometimes referred to as multi-gesture, that recognizes two or more fingers, incorporating advanced functionality like pinching to zoom.
Network Card: A network card, network adapter, network interface controller, network interface card, or LAN adapter is a computer hardware component designed to allow computers to communicate over a computer network. It allows users to connect to each other wirelessly or by using cables.
Oleophobic Coating: An oil-resistant coating applied to touchscreens to help reduce fingerprints and smudges.
Operating System (OS): Software that takes care of basic system activities such as reading forms and saving to disk. It controls how system resources are used and provides a user interface. Tablet operating systems are generally optimized for a portable touchscreen experience. Among the most popular mobile operating systems are Google's Android, which can be found on a variety of devices, and Apple's iOS, found on iPhone, iPad, and internet-enabled iPod devices.
Processor: Also known as the CPU (central processing unit). As the primary element carrying out the tablet's functions, it's effectively the "brain" of the tablet. A dual-core processor has two execution cores, while a quad-core has four, etc; generally, more cores allows for faster computing.
Processor Speed: The rate at which the CPU performs calculations per second. It's measured in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz). 1000MHz equals one GHz.
RAM (Random Access Memory): The place where a tablet keeps programs and data when they are in use. It's measured in megabytes or gigabytes (see bit/byte for more info).
Resistive Touchscreen: Can typically be used with a finger or stylus, but require pressure to be applied to the screen, which can sometimes affect ease of use. See touchscreen for more information.
Retina Display: A type of LCD screen specific to newer-model Apple MacBook Pro®, iPad, iPhone, and iPod devices. Retina displays have a high enough pixel density that the human eye is unable to notice pixelation at a typical viewing distance. Basically, Retina displays are clearer than typical LCDs.
SATA (Serial ATA): A way of connecting a hard drive to a computer. Most computers made after 2005 use SATA hard drives, which is generally faster and more efficient than SATA's predecessor, PATA.
Screen Resolution: Maximum number of pixels that can be displayed on the screen. This number is a product of the number of columns and the number of rows. For example, a display with 1920x1080 resolution can display 1,920 columns of pixels and 1,080 rows of pixels. The higher the resolution, the clearer the screen; see high definition for more info.
Software: The actual programs on a tablet, as opposed to the physical components. This includes apps and the operating system itself.
Solid-State Drive (SSD): Like a standard hard drive, a solid-state drive is used to store data. However, SSDs read and write files much more quickly, resulting in better performance overall. Hybrid drives combine the standard features of hard-disk drives and solid-state drives, resulting in a more optimal performance than a hard drive alone at a better price than a large SSD.
Sound card: A piece of computer hardware that controls its sound input and output.
TFT (Thin Film Transistor): A type of LCD flat-panel display that is made to be as thin and light as possible, taking up less space than bulky old-school computer monitors. TFT displays also generally have higher resolutions than older displays.
Touchscreen: A display you can interact with by touching it with an object, typically a finger or stylus. Touchscreens are one of the defining characteristics of tablets. For more information on different kinds of touchscreens, see capacitive touchscreen, resistive touchscreen, and multi-touch.
USB (Universal Serial Bus): A high-speed serial port technology that allows a variety of input and output devices to be easily attached to a PC. A USB device can be plugged in or unplugged without turning off the PC and is automatically recognized and configured upon plug-in. Typically, modern computers will have USB 3.0, USB 2.0, or some combination of the two. On paper, USB 3.0 is faster, though how much faster will depend on other factors, like your hardware.
Webcam: The term webcam is a combination of "web" and "video camera." They can be used for video chatting or recording videos, and are built into most tablets. Some tablets may even have two cameras, one that faces the front and one that faces the back, with the front being more suited for video chatting.
WiDi: This Intel-developed technology is short for Wireless Display, and lets users to stream music, movies, photos, videos, and apps wirelessly from a compatible tablet to a compatible HDTV or through the use of an adapter with other HDTVs. WiDi technology is capable of Full HD 1080p video and 5.1 surround sound audio, but you'll need the appropriate hardware to achieve that.
Wi-Fi: Wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide wireless high speed Internet and network connections. Wireless networks will generally use a 2.4GHz or 5GHz network, with 5GHz networks being able to carry more data. Some devices offer dual-band Wi-Fi, which works at both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies. Some newer tablets use MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) Wi-Fi, which increases the performance of existing Wi-Fi networks.
Wireless capability may require a network connection, accessories, and/or a service fee. Use of Bluetooth technology may require software and accessories. Please consult the manufacturer's documentation regarding the safe and proper use, handling, storage, charging, and disposal of products containing lithium-ion batteries.

Mason, Ohio (AP) -- A trial is set to start over a woman's claim that an Ohio roller coaster caused an injury that will require her to get several hip replacements over her lifetime.
Jennifer Wright says she was hurt in a July 2006 accident on the Son of Beast coaster at Kings Island amusement park near Cincinnati.
A jolt sent 27 people to the hospital.
Wright's attorney has said her medical bills have exceeded $24,000 and that she could need three hip replacements down the road costing up to $157,000.
If a jury finds Kings Island liable, the lawsuit seeks punitive damages for Wright, who's from Defiance in northwest Ohio.
The trial beginning Thursday is expected to run three days.
Attorneys for Kings Island say they don't discuss pending litigation.

Mike Trout grew up in New Jersey, watching and admiring Derek Jeter.
Little did he know that, in 2014, he'd not only share the field with Jeter, but share some statistical synergy in that year's All-Star Game.
Trout was the most valuable player of Jeter's final All-Star Game, and both played an integral role in the American League's 5-3 win over the National League.
Youngest All-Star Game MVPs
via Elias Sports Bureau
Jeter and Trout were the only two players with two hits for the American League. Trout claimed an MVP honor that Jeter won in 2000, the same year he won the last of three straight World Series titles.
Trout became the third player to have multiple extra-base hits in an All-Star Game before turning 23. The others were Ted Williams (1941) and Ken Griffey Jr (1992).
Griffey is the only player younger than the 22-year-old Trout to win MVP honors, having won that award as a 22-year-old (106 days younger than Trout) in 1992.
Trout also became the second player in All-Star Game history with a double, triple and two RBIs in an All-Star Game, joining Earl Averill of the 1934 Cleveland Indians.
The 40-year-old Jeter became the oldest player with multiple hits in an All-Star Game, passing Carl Yastrzemski (age 39 in 1979). The oldest Yankees player prior to Jeter was the third-oldest with multiple hits all-time, Babe Ruth (age 38 in 1933).
Jeter finished 13-for-27 in his All-Star career. His .481 batting average is second-best in All-Star Game history (perhaps appropriate for a player who wears No. 2). The all-time leader among those with at least 15 plate appearances is second baseman Charlie Gehringer, who hit .500.
Trout may surpass them both someday. In three All-Star Games, he's 4-for-7 (.571) with two singles, a double and a triple.
Coincidentally, Jeter also had four hits in his first seven All-Star Game at-bats.
One player Trout beat out for MVP honors was two-time reigning AL MVP Miguel Cabrera.
Cabrera became the first Tigers player to homer in an All-Star Game since fan-favorite Lou Whitaker did in 1986.
It was a day for retro-Tigers celebration. Max Scherzer won with a scoreless inning of relief, the first Tigers pitcher to win an All-Star Game since Jim Bunning in 1957.
Twins reliever Glen Perkins, a Minnesota native, became the third pitcher to earn an All-Star Game save in his home ballpark, joining Mickey Lolich (1971 Tigers) and Kaz Sasaki (2001 Mariners).
The losing pitcher would have a Minnesota connection too -- former Twins reliever Pat Neshek, who grew up in Minnesota. He became the first Cardinals pitcher to lose an All-Star Game since Mort Cooper in 1943.

Cavaliers forward Samardo Samuels talks postgame following the Cavs 89-74 victory against the Phoenix Suns in Las Vegas.
Waiters Makes a Point; Cavs Pull Past Suns
Unlike the NBA season, in summer league, teams freely change lineups and rotations from game-to-game. On Tuesday night, the Cavaliers went with a new look, but the result was the same as the previous evening: another win for the Wine and Gold.
Cleveland managed just 37 points in the first half of Tuesday's matchup with Phoenix. But they turned it up in the second stanza and blew past the Suns, 89-74, at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

Specialty Cookwares
Frying pans, saucepans and even saute pans are common in the kitchen, but some chefs like to prepare specific dishes that require less well-known cookware and appliances. Williams-Sonoma offers a variety of specialty cookware to help you create those unique dishes and craft the special flavors that you love.
Our breakfast pans make cooking omelets easy, with designs that help you flip and roll the eggs without turning them into a scrambled mess. Whip up a batch of waffles with a stovetop griddle that features large or mini waffle molds, or get perfectly poached eggs with a nonstick egg poacher set that includes individual egg cups with handles that hang over the edge of a pan, submerging the eggs in water and making them easy to remove.
Invite some friends over for a fondue night, and set up a full-size copper or aluminum fondue pot and forks. Prepare an array of cut veggies and desserts for dipping. Pots feature adjustable flame controls and distinguishing marks on each fork so guests can easily keep track of which one is theirs. Mini fondue pots and extra burners come in handy for parties of any size.
Reduce the time you spend in the kitchen with a pressure cooker that includes pre-programmed settings for fish, vegetables, rice and other foods. Many models include indicator lights that display different colors to let cooks know when the proper pressure is achieved. Some models also include inserts for steaming foods. Add some specialty cookware to your kitchen and venture into new culinary territory.

Construction companies offer 'tiny' alternatives for homebuyers
PHOENIX — Americans who are dreaming of home ownership but don't think they can afford a big house now have some hope.
Builders around the country are offering "tiny homes" that may fit their budget and lifestyle. Some of the homes are stationary and are built on a foundation. For example, Tumbleweed Tiny House Company is offering a 356-square-foot model for $21,000. It has one bedroom, one bath, a full kitchen and a washer and dryer.
Other homes are mobile. They are on two wheels and a have a trailer hitch. Forbes Magazine said that Dee Williams, who is considered the "tiny house" pioneer, is currently touring the country and showing off the 84-square-foot home that she's lived in for the past 10 years.
She's doing it to promote her memoir "The Big Tiny."
A Valley realtor said that any home that is less than 900 square feet in the Phoenix area is considered to be a tiny home.
During an appearance on News/Talk 92.3 KTAR's "Arizona's Morning News Weekend," Sheri Rampey said she has sold some homes as small as 600 square feet. Most of the "tinys" in Phoenix are in the downtown area and were built in the 1920s and 1930s, she said.
Rampey said she recently sold a "tiny" to a couple of newlyweds.
"That was about 700 square feet," she said. "But it also has a guest house that was built behind it, so it was a bit more expensive. We're at $225,000. The house and the guest house are detached; they are on separate electric and water meters and have their own yards, so it's like the couple bought two houses. The couple plans to rent out the guest house and use the money from that to pay their mortgage."
Rampey said that the small homes are bought by people who want a particular lifestyle.
"Many of these places are in downtown and are within walking distance of shopping and entertainment. Having a small place is also about not having to spend all day or all weekend cleaning your house," said Rampey.
Rampey added that the homes are efficient. Many of the homes' designers were able to include more storage space by not having hallways in the houses, even though these are three-bedroom, two-bath units.

SUBMITTED: Saturday, December 18, 2010POSTED: Saturday, December 18, 2010
Well, after filing the report with the BBB, the company decided to refund me my money (without me needing to get temperature readings from the back of the unit) and didn't even require me to ship back the defective unit. I used that refunded money to buy another EdgeStar scratch&dent unit which I got about a month ago and continue to use almost every day and it appears to be working great.
I guess I just had a bad experience, but I wish their customer service was more helpful. I understand it was a scratch&dent but it also had a warranty and I shouldn't have had to continue operating a dangerous unit to get bogus "temperature readings", nor should I have had to file a BBB report to get a refund.
Either way, I am now satisfied, like I said I ordered another EdgeStar unit which I love and I would recommend their products, just not their customer service.

I am sorry that you feel our offer to refund you the full purchase price of your order merits a posting on this forum. It would appear that you and I may have a different definition of rip off as you are not being left with a defective product but are being refunded in full so you may purchase another model that may better fit your needs. Should you wish to discuss this matter further please feel free to email me directly: B. Ford, Director of Customer Relations Living Direct, Inc. firstname.lastname@example.com

Alabama Democrat, Cong. Artur Davis, is recommending that former governor, Don Siegelman, avoid testifying before Congress about his corruption case.
Davis, a former federal prosecutor, said that Republicans would use the occasion to try to embarrass Siegelman by rehashing unflattering details from his trial. In a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Davis also said the testimony could jeopardize Siegelman's appeal.
Last week, Conyers said the committee wants to bring Siegelman to Washington to testify about the case as part of a broader congressional investigation into allegations of Republican political influence at the Justice Department.
After serving nine months in federal prison, Siegelman was released Friday while his 2006 conviction on bribery and obstruction of justice charges is on appeal.

The authors have done their research! This is not a classic vegan book repeating the same old arguments. It provides clear nutritional guidance to help vegans stay healthy and design the most adequate diet possible. It's up to date science!
You'll discover interesting pieces of information in this book. For example:
- Vegans can benefit from getting adequate amounts of protein. While it's true that almost nobody suffers from true protein deficiencies in the West, not getting adequate protein can result in muscle mass loss and poor bone health.
- Vegans should take a B12 supplement, even if they just started the diet. The old idea of "wait three years to do it because your body has reserves" is not the wisest.
- Why some vegans crash and fail to thrive, reverting back to animal foods, because they make their diet too restrictive and idealistic
- Getting the RDA for calcium is important for vegans. You'll discover which greens have a negative calcium balance and how to make sure you get enough calcium on a vegan diet, even without supplements
- Other nutrients to watch out about on a vegan diet (or any diet), such as vitamin D, iodine, zinc, etc.
- Ideas for making a vegan diet fun and easy to follow.
- Why it makes sense to take a vegan DHA supplement
- How to adapt a vegan diet to meet the needs of growing children, pregnant women, older people, etc.Read more ›
Ginny and Jack keep the arguments about veganism all about the animals, even though they are both dieticians and devoted to human health and nutrition. But they are interested in healthy, happy vegans, too. They have written, at their own time and expense, for many years about the benefits and pitfalls of plant-based eating. They have made recommendations, and changed their positions many times as the science continues to unfold about human nutrition (which should be considered new and emerging). They have done so with kindness, compassion and without a hint of arrogance.
Vegan for Life, a brilliant double-entendre, is an exceptional book. If it's not the very first, it has to be among the very few that paints a reasonably complex picture of vegan eating that goes over every facet--- the good, the bad, the ugly and everything in between. They don't claim that everyone must eat ultra low-fat (quite the opposite); they don't push raw diets (or even recommend them, actually). I actually suspect that they will receive a fair amount of criticism for this book because of its refusal to oversimplify and paint with a broad brush; because they don't promise miracles, and because they admit that there's much we simply don't know about nutrition.Read more ›
That being said, I have to add that this is not a boring tome on nutrition or ethics--it is an easily read, fun yet informative book. Filled with easy to follow advice and suggestions.
They cover everything from how to eat, what to eat, and why one would eat vegan (e.g., ethical issues, health issues). Detailed discussions of supplements and menu suggestions are included. This is essential reading for anyone considering a transition to a vegan diet as well as those who have been vegan for some time.
I highly recommend Vegan for Life and thank and applaud the authors on this great book. It is my new "Bible" and go-to book for eating healthy and well. I ordered the hard copy for my patient waiting room and ordered the digital for my Ipad. I look forward to their future books!
Now my reservations. For some background, a few months ago I finished the book "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" by Esselstyn, and to make a long story short, this book advocates a Vegan diet, but also a low-fat diet without added oils, nuts, avocados, etc. Its not an easy diet to follow, but it is proven to work against heart disease.
So back to this book, which I thought would be helpful to me as well. So I start reading and the authors start talking all about the great things a Vegan diet does for you. O.K. great. But then I start reading their take of how variations of a Vegan diet, like low-fat Vegan, or raw food Vegan is BAD for you, without giving many details. It was this "holier-than-thou" attitude that was a bit of a turn-off for me. Especially since Vegans get this from meat-eaters all the time, and now I have to hear basically "my Vegan diet is better than your Vegan diet" from the authors of this book.
Instead it would have been real nice for the authors to add a chapter for people on these diets and to give them advice on proper nutrition as well. Afterall, the book does have chapters for other groups, like those over 50. Or, at the least, the authors should acknowledge that people are on these diet modifications for a reason, and just live with that.
In any case, this is a good book that I found very helpful and I'd highly recommend it, especially if you are a straight Vegan, nothing more, nothing less. If you are on a low-fat or Raw Vegan diet, its still worthwhile but just not maybe as much as it could have been, if the authors had a bit more empathy for why people are on these diets.

McClatchy news service
WASHINGTON — Legislation to be unveiled today by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd to overhaul the financial regulatory system is likely to be more modest than either the Obama administration's proposal last summer or a plan Dodd tried to push last fall.
Dodd, a Connecticut Democrat, was set to release detailed legislation for the most sweeping overhaul of financial regulations since the Great Depression, which Democrats want to pass before the fall elections. Tightening federal oversight of the financial system is designed to prevent a repeat of the banking- system meltdown in 2008 and is a top priority of President Barack Obama.
Dodd's proposal, which was still being drafted Sunday, is expected to abandon the stand-alone Consumer Financial Protection Agency that was proposed by Obama and was included in Dodd's original plan as well as overhaul legislation passed by the House in December.
Instead, Dodd is likely to propose a new consumer agency, with a director appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate, that would be housed within the Federal Reserve, according to an industry official closely following the issue. The agency would be an independent entity in the central bank, not reporting to the Fed board, but the agency's decisions could be vetoed by a new council of financial regulators.
The Fed, which has authority to write consumer protection rules for the financial industry, has been sharply criticized for not doing more to stop subprime mortgages before they triggered the collapse of the housing market.
Republicans strongly oppose a stand-alone consumer agency, as does the financial industry and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Dodd also is likely to back away from his controversial idea to create a single federal banking regulatory agency to replace the four main agencies that oversee the industry now. That plan, which went beyond the Obama administration's proposal for a more modest consolidation and was strongly opposed by current banking regulators, failed to gain traction in the Senate.
Still, Dodd was set to propose a major overhaul of regulations that would expand the role of the Fed in overseeing the nation's economy, including new oversight powers over large financial companies that are not banks.

University Hospital Eye Institute Changes its Name to the University Center for Vision Care and Research Centers
The University Hospital Eye Institute has changed its name to the University Vision Care and Research Centers of the State University of New York Health Science Center at Syracuse. The Centers are comprised of the University Center for Vision Care, located at 550 Harrison Street, Suite 340, Syracuse, and the University Center for Vision Research, located in Weiskotten Hall on the Health Science Center campus. Combined, the Centers serve as our region's most established and leading site for the research, diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of adult and pediatric eye disorders.
The Centers are directed by John A. Hoepner, M.D. Dr. Hoepner, a resident of Fayetteville, is professor and chair of the Department of Ophthalmology at the State University of New York Health Science Center at Syracuse.
Helping to provide patient care is Ali M. Khorrami, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Khorrami, a resident of the Valley Section of Syracuse, is an assistant professor of Ophthalmology at the Health Science Center and the first full time physician member of the Center for Vision Care clinical team. Dr. Khorrami personally performs specialized retinal care, including surgery and laser therapy, while also serving as a primary attending physician at the Center. In particular, he provides care to support the unique ophthalmic needs of our community's growing diabetic, macular degeneration, and inherited retinal disease population. He works collaboratively with community physicians of all disciplines, including those in the Joslin Center for Diabetes, to maximize eye wellness and slow progression of retinal disease.
The University Center for Vision Care provides general vision care, consultations in all ophthalmic sub-specialties, and specialized evaluation and management services. Two additional services are provided for patient convenience: an Ophthalmic Diagnostic Testing Center and an Optical Shop and Contact Lens Dispensary.
While every attempt is made to accommodate walk-ins for general comprehensive eye exams, it is best to schedule an appointment. Most appointments can be scheduled as early as the next day. Urgent eye referrals will be seen the same day.
The primary mission of the Center for Vision Research is to enhance the research and training efforts of vision scientists in the Central New York area. Secondary objectives are to facilitate collaborative studies among members of this community and attract other vision scientists to the area.
To make an appointment with the University Center for Vision Care, or for more information about the Centers call (315) 464-5230.

Is a buyout near? It's time.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Could be- if not- at least it is nice to see this going back up :-)
Interesting but could be a trap. Suck some additional sellers in so their stock can be grabbed at lower price by the ones who'll make big money.

CASE STUDY #4: Wendy's
PROGRAM DETAIL: Wendy's adopted a pretty straight forward advertising strategy; locate captive audiences, place a visually stimulating picture in front of the consumer, and give them something they can take away and use during each visual impression. Translation; Wendy's leveraged Sport&Health's 100,000 member captive audience and deep inventory of super panels in each club to place a poster highlighting their new menu items and created a take-one coupon for each of these panels to create incentive to Sport&Health members to stop by a Wendy's after their workouts.RESULTS: Using easy and simple tracking survey cards, Wendy's reported an 88% ad recall at Sport&Health Club locations through the use of in-club panel signage and take-one coupons at each panel. Those members indicating they had bought/eaten food at Wendy's in the past 3 months was measured at more than 50% higher at end of the campaign then before the campaign ran. Wendy's also tracked that members indicating they planned to buy/eat at Wendy's in the next 3 months more than doubled from pre- to end-campaign research.

The area that is now called Glen Oaks was a slice of flat terrain eagerly sought by farmers in the 1640's. It was a rural, unnamed section of Flushing, part of a 20,000 acre land grant to Massachusetts settlers and at one time the home of many potato fields in eastern Queens. 167 acres purchased from William K. Vanderbilt's country estate became the Glen Oaks Golf Club in 1923. In 1944, the Gross-Morton Co. purchased 175 acres of land west of the golf club. Backed by $24 million in Federal Housing Administration funds, the neighborhood was developed after World War II, with shopping along Union Turnpike. The model community of Glen Oaks Village, named after the golf club, is a garden apartment complex of 2,864 units near the Nassau border. Construction of the two-story brick buildings began in 1945, and the first residents, many of them veterans, arrived in October 1947. Census figures show that the population increased from 4,999 in 1940 to 13,746 in 1950. The development is one of the city's largest and is home to almost 3,000 families. Numerous one-family houses also built after the war comprise the area south of Union Turnpike.
The Library's bookmobile began regular stops at the new neighborhood at the same time; in February 1950 an "extension agency" opened in the Glen Oaks shopping center at 256-25 Union Turnpike. A site at 256th street and Union Turnpike was earmarked by NYC for a new library in 1955. A private builder bought it before City budget officials approved purchase of the site. The City then rented the proposed medical building built on the site. On October 22, 1956, the Glen Oaks branch library was dedicated with speeches by Mayor Wagner, Assemblyman Wallach and Library Director Tucker. In 1975 a $60,000 renovation provided new lights, new flooring and a ramp for the handicapped. A $50,000 grant from State Senator Frank Padavan in 2001 allowed the library to upgrade the facility, including the purchase of some new shelving and furniture.
In the fall of 2009 this building was demolished and a new 18,000 square foot library was constructed on the same site.

To the Editor:
—I read with interest your editorial, "The Advantages of Hospital Interneship," in the last number of the Journal.My opinion is that all agree in acknowledging the benefit of hospital training. Why do more students not secure to themselves the advantages of such a training? Is it a want of appreciation on the part of the prospective physician? I think not.The average student, yes, 95 per cent., are anxious to secure a place in some good hospital, in fact in any hospital. Place the blame where it belongs. The fact is that there are too few places of this kind to be filled. The case you cite illustrates my point very nicely. You say fourteen students came up for examination to fill twelve vacancies. Out of that fourteen twelve got hospital positions and two were disappointed. Had there been forty come up

Ex-Moore Trader Leslie to Liquidate $1.6 Billion Hedge Fund
James Caird Asset Management LP, the London-based firm run by former Moore Capital Management LLC trader Tim Leslie, plans to liquidate a $1.6 billion credit hedge fund after eight years following losses in 2011.
"I have been frustrated by our performance during the current year," Leslie, 45, wrote today in a client letter, a copy of which was obtained by Bloomberg News. He plans to start returning money to investors in the JCAM Global Fund in January.
The fund lost 8.9 percent for 2011 through November, according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. Hedge funds lost an average of 3.8 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
An increasing number of money managers have shuttered hedge funds in recent months after Europe's debt crisis roiled markets and limited investment opportunities. The number of funds liquidating in the third quarter rose to 213, the worst three-month period for the industry since the first quarter of 2010, according to Chicago-based Hedge Fund Research. In the second quarter, 191 hedge funds shut.
Hedge fund manager Duke Buchan III told clients last week that he was closing his $1 billion stock hedge fund, Hunter Global Investors LP, according to a letter obtained by Bloomberg News.
'Unfolding Crisis'
Leslie attributed the losses to "poor liquidity and the unfolding crisis in financial markets." He said the lack of market liquidity is "structural" and not something that will go away any time soon. As a result, he plans to start a smaller hedge fund with a "narrower trading focus," according to the letter.
The new fund will start next year and be managed by Robert Miller, who has worked with Leslie since 2003, according to the letter. Leslie seeks to raise $500 million for the new fund and cap assets at about that level, the person said.
JCAM Global clients who invest in the new fund will receive "preferential terms," the letter said. Leslie will probably hold off on charging existing investors performance fees should the new fund produce positive returns, the person said.
Leslie wasn't available to comment, according to a spokesman for James Caird.
Leslie started the JCAM Global fund in 2003 while trading for Moore, the New York-based firm run by Louis M. Bacon. He left the firm in 2008 and continued managing the JCAM fund at James Caird. Moore is an investor in the JCAM fund. The fund has gained 8.3 percent a year on average since 2003, according to today's client letter.
James Caird also manages two other hedge funds, the $150 million Vintage II fund and the $70 million Mortgage Opportunities fund. The firm will continue running those two funds, the person said.

I can do it in TextEdit and save as an RTF file, but the formatting is lost when I copy and paste to the posting at wp-admin. Maybe I shouldn't use copy and paste?
This is my first blog, and I hope to go live in about two weeks. I'm willing to make changes to the code, with instructions on where to do it and where to find the file. I'd rather not use a fixed font size.
