How wonderful the Indoor Shields® has worked for my Tinka (Yorkie). She is not reliably trained and I had tried every possible thing (to keep her off the rugs) and now at least when she has an accident, it is on the tile. It has been fabulous. My friends are amazed at how well it works.
Hip dysplasia is a common, painful canine disorder that involves abnormal development and/or degeneration of one or both hip joints. The hips are ball-and-socket joints where the head of each femur (the long thigh bone) joins with a concave socket of the pelvic bone called the acetabulum. Dysplasia means abnormal development of tissues, bones, organs or other structures. The hip joints of dogs with hip dysplasia have a genetic predisposition to partially dislocate, or subluxate, which means that the head of the femur is too loose, causing abnormal mechanical forces across the hips, irregularly shaped bones, damaged cartilage, microscopic bone fractures and, in severe cases, degenerative joint disease. In young dogs, hip dysplasia usually is caused by conformational abnormalities that cause a poor fit between the head of the femur and the pelvic acetabulum, which in turn causes hip laxity. In older dogs, hip dysplasia typically comes from progressive degeneration and deterioration of bone and cartilage in the hip joint.

Thanks Zacsmaster, but I really wanted to bypass Customer Relations. Thans again.
Managing Directors dont just sit around waiting for letters of complaint from customers (assuming you have a complaint).
If you did write to the MD the letter would be opened by a secretary or PA and be passed straight to the "complaints" department so the MD will never see it.
I am sure any company that runs holidays get sackfulls of letters of complaint so it has to be very special for anyone high up to notice it.
A far better way to get the attention of a "top boss" in a company is to get the newspapers or TV involved, through a program like BBC's Watchdog or your local paper.
Companies hate bad publicity and would rush to get a spokesperson to issue a statement to defend the company.

Bomb squad examines old projectileNovember 24,2012BRATTLEBORO — Brattleboro police say a military projectile found in the basement of a local home caused them to call the Vermont State Police bomb squad, which determined the projectile posed no threat to the public.
Brattleboro police and firefighters were called just before 1 p.m. Wednesday after a person doing renovations on an Elliot Street home reported finding the military-style projectile in the basement.
At the time, it wasn't known if the projectile was inert or still contained explosives.
The building was evacuated, but the bomb squad determined the projectile was inert.MORE IN This Just InAn inmate at Marble Valley Correctional Facility died of an illness at Dartmouth-Hitchcock...

[This article was contributed by the SQL Azure team.]
We are going to start a new series of posts focusing on the basics of SQL Azure and build on top of these to give you more detailed information about building and migrating applications to SQL Azure.
Unlike SQL Server, every table in SQL Azure needs to have a clustered index. A clustered index is usually created on the primary key column of the table. Clustered indexes sort and store the data rows in the table based on their key values (columns in the index). There can only be one clustered index per table, because the data rows themselves can only be sorted in one order.
A simple table with a clustered index can be created like this:
CREATE TABLE Source (Id int NOT NULL IDENTITY, [Name] nvarchar(max), CONSTRAINT [PK_Source] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [Id] ASC ))
SQL Azure allows you to create tables without a clustered index; however, when you try to add rows to that table it throws this error:
Msg 40054, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Tables without a clustered index are not supported in this version of SQL Server. Please create a clustered index and try again.
SQL Azure does not allow heap tables – heap tables, by definition, is a table that doesn't have any clustered indexes. More about SQL Server indexes in this article on MSDN.
Temporary Tables
That is the rule for all permanent tables in your database; however, this is not the case for temporary tables.
You can create a temporary table in SQL Azure just as you do in SQL Server. Here is an example:
CREATE TABLE #Destination (Id int NOT NULL, [Name] nvarchar(max)) -- Do Something DROP TABLE #Destination

I am a senior citizen so this is not by far my first experience in purchasing a car at a dealership. It is however by far the most favorable experience that I have had. We reside in Lincoln not Omaha yet based on how efficient and helpful this dealers staff has been, we will make the drive to Omaha instead of the Mercedes dealer in Lincoln for any service need. This statement is nothing negative about Lincoln dealerships, it's just that this business is so customer oriented and professional that we prefer to give them our business regardless of the distance to travel.
Dewan (sales person) and Drew (sales manger) were great to work with. They both made the process simple. All the employees from the business office to service were very friendly and helpful. I love my new car!
I walked in without an appointment due to a bulge in my tire. They had it replaced in 30 minutes. Great service!
I recently purchased a C300 and the experience could not have better from the time I walked into the dealership. The vehicles are top notch and sell themselves but it's the caring and time spent from the salesman and saleswomen to the management which really care about you. I also wanted to see the Audi and BMW dealerships but ended up coming back because Mercedes-Benz has a better product and I walked both lots with no help and compared the vehicles on the showroom floor, again not on the same level. I want to personally thank Dwan, Eric, Mike, and Randy for a great experience!
Joseph and Mike put together great deals for our sons. We got two very nice used vehicles. The trade-in numbers were very generous. Larry got us great financing and made the paperwork process seem a little more painless. Our sons are very pleased with their cars. The whole process was very smooth and as stress-free as it could be. We are very impressed with the whole team.
At Mercedes-Benz of Omaha, the caliber of our customer service matches that of the Mercedes-Benz brand. Our staff sets out to provide extraordinary customer service for each and every person who works with us, which is why Bellevue, Papillion, Fremont, Sioux City, and Council Bluffs drivers continue to turn to us for all their automotive needs. Here, you can expect a personalized car buying and servicing experience, because we work with our customers individually to determine exactly what they want.
Come to us to make luxury your own by browsing our vast selection of brand-new Mercedes-Benz models, including the latest Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Of course, luxury can be found for less within our used car inventory, particularly among our certified pre-owned models for sale. Getting behind the wheel is simple at Mercedes-Benz of Omaha, too, because our finance department will set you up with a loan or lease that you're comfortable with.
Of course, driving away from Mercedes-Benz of Omaha behind the wheel of your purchase is exciting, and you're welcome to come back to keep your vehicle running just as it did at that moment for years to come. We maintain a full-service garage staffed by factory-trained technicians who can handle the most extensive of repairs and routine check-ups alike. We use only authentic Mercedes-Benz parts, too, so you know your car will run as it was meant to.
Mercedes-Benz is a world-renowned name, and Mercedes-Benz of Omaha aims to mirror the standard set by this prestigious German automaker. See for yourself at 14335 Hillsdale Ave in Omaha, NE, and feel free to get in touch with questions. We look forward to working with you!

Kevin Roberts, CEO, Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide
"I call Mack whenever I have a question about branding and he makes everything clear and even easy and obvious. Think Two Products Ahead is like talking with Mack because every chapter gives you newfound clarity and you see how easy and profitable branding really should be."
David Doyle, Vice President, Program Development, Discovery Channel's Animal Planet
"For a guy like me who used to absolutely, positively hate branding, this book is a revelation. Finally, a clear-cut confessional from someone who has actually worked in the deep carpets with the guys and guyettes in the designer suits. But Mack generously goes beyond the Wizard of Oz exposé (that takes down the scam Madison Avenue and its provincial cousins have been running on businesses for years) and tells you what's good about branding, and how you can cash in on it for your business. I mean exactly, step by step. If you are in business and you have anything to do with marketing, you need this book."

Article: ERCC1 Expression and Outcomes in Head and Neck Cancer Treated with Concurrent Cisplatin and Radiation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Overexpression of excision repair cross complementing group 1 (ERCC1), a DNA repair enzyme, is associated with resistance to cisplatin. Tissues from 73 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) who received concurrent cisplatin and radiation was analyzed immunohistochemically to determine if ERCC1 expression predicted for survival and response. Expression was scored as follows: 0=0% tumor nuclei positive, 1+=<50%, 2+=50-75% and 3+=>75%. ERCC1 expression was 0 in 0%, 1+ (14%), 2+ (42%) and 3+ (44%). In uni- and multivariate analyses, 3+ ERCC1 expression was not a significant predictor of survival or response. Median survival for the ERCC1 3+ patients was 2.9 years versus 2.1 years for the ERCC1 <3+ group (p=0.44). In this retrospective review of HNSCC patients receiving concurrent cisplatin and radiation, ERCC1 expression was not a significant predictor of survival or response.
Article: Phosphorylated histone H3, Ki-67, p21, fatty acid synthase, and cleaved caspase-3 expression in benign and atypical granular cell tumors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are classified as benign when none of the following features is present: spindling of the tumor cells, necrosis, diffuse pleomorphism, prominent nucleoli, high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, and mitotic rate >2 per 10 high-power fields. It has been suggested that a GCT be classified as atypical when 1 or 2 of these features are seen and as malignant when 3 or more of these are present. In our practice, we do not classify GCTs as malignant in the absence of metastasis. To compare immunohistochemical staining for phosphorylated histone H3 (PHH3), Ki-67 (MIB-1), p21, fatty acid synthase, and cleaved caspase-3 in histologically classified benign and atypical GCTs. We reviewed 25 cases of GCT from our archives and classified 14 as atypical based on histologic features. Immunohistochemical staining for PHH3, Ki-67, p21, fatty acid synthase, and cleaved caspase-3 was performed using standard methods. The number of positive cells for Ki-67, p21, and PHH3 was calculated in 10 consecutive high-power fields in a hot spot. Fatty acid synthase and cleaved caspase-3 cytoplasmic expression was graded from 1 to 3. Ki-67 and PHH3 scores were significantly higher in atypical GCTs. The expression of p21, fatty acid synthase, and cleaved caspase-3 was not significantly different between atypical and benign GCTs. This study shows that histologic features are reliable in identifying GCTs that have a higher proliferative potential as shown by higher immunoreactivity for Ki-67 and PHH3. These immunostains may help in classifying GCTs in cases where a thorough histologic evaluation is precluded by the small size of a biopsy specimen.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Zygomycosis, in particular, infection due to fungi of the order Mucorales, is typically found in patients with diabetes, solid organ transplants, hematologic malignancies, or those treated with deferoxamine. Recently, with increased myleosuppressive chemotherapy regimens, more cases of pulmonary or disseminated zygomycosis have been reported in neutropenic patients than in the past. We present a white man diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma who presented with a small bowel perforation due to gastrointestinal zygomycosis. He was not significantly neutropenic, however, his risk for development of this unusual fungal infection was malnutrition, acidosis, and leukopenia.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Preclinical data suggests that VEGF and COX-2 are potentially important mediators in the pathogenesis of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Little is known about the frequency of tumor expression of VEGF and COX-2 in SCLC or the prognostic significance of this expression. Clinical records from 54 cases of SCLC were reviewed. Immunohistochemical stains for VEGF and COX-2 were performed on all tumor specimens. Tumor VEGF expression was detected in 43 cases (81%) and COX-2 expression in 11 (20%). No significant association between VEGF or COX-2 expression and survival was observed. This is the first study to assess the frequency and clinical significance of tumor VEGF and COX-2 expression in a large group of patients with SCLC. In this cohort, neither VEGF nor COX-2 expression impacted survival. The frequency of VEGF expression suggests that it merits further investigation as a therapeutic target in SCLC.
Article: Malignant melanoma with a rhabdoid phenotype: Histologic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural study of a case and review of the literature[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Malignant melanoma is known to display tremendous histologic diversity. One rare variant is the rhabdoid phenotype, so called because of the appearance of cells resembling rhabdomyoblasts seen in malignant rhabdoid tumors of the kidney. We present the histologic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural features of a malignant melanoma composed entirely of rhabdoid cells. A 62-year-old man presented with a 6.5-cm lung mass. Although presumed to be a metastatic lesion, extensive workup failed to reveal a primary tumor site. Histologic sections showed a mass composed entirely of polygonal neoplastic cells with prominent nucleoli and large hyaline cytoplasmic inclusions. The tumor cells were strongly immunoreactive with S100 protein, vimentin, and CD56, and were focally reactive with Mart-1. Tumor cells were negative for Melan-A, tyrosinase, HMB-45, AE1/AE3, cytokeratin (CK) 7, CK8/ 18, CK20, CK903, CAM 5.2, epithelial membrane antigen, smooth muscle actin, desmin, leukocyte common antigen, Bcl-2, CD3, CD20, CD30, CD138, kappa and lambda light chains, CD68, CD34, factor VIII, synaptophysin, and glial fibrillary acidic protein. Electron microscopy showed cytoplasmic whorls of intermediate filaments containing entrapped rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and lipid. Recognition of this rare variant of malignant melanoma is important in the evaluation of tumors with rhabdoid morphology.

- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Inhibin alpha subunit (inhibin A) expression in hemangioblastomas has not been previously reported in the literature. We analyzed the expression of inhibin A in 25 hemangioblastomas from 22 patients. Eleven cases were from 8 patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease, and these tumors were multicentric and/or recurrent. The remaining 14 cases from 14 patients were sporadic. The male-to-female ratio was 8:3, and the age at presentation ranged from 19 to 78 years (mean 35 years; median 45 years). Eighteen tumors were located in the cerebellum/posterior fossa, 1 in the medulla, 1 in the occipital lobe, and 5 in the spinal cord. Four metastatic renal cell carcinomas in brain, 10 renal cell carcinomas from 8 patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease, and 5 sporadic clear cell renal cell carcinomas were also included. Two patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease had both renal cell carcinoma and hemangioblastoma. The stromal cells of all 25 cases of hemangioblastoma expressed inhibin A. Strong, moderate, and weak cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was noted in 17, 5, and 3 cases, respectively. In contrast, none of the 19 renal cell carcinomas, primary as well as metastatic, expressed inhibin A. There was no difference in the inhibin A staining pattern between the sporadic hemangioblastoma and those associated with VHL. These findings demonstrate inhibin A to be a useful marker in distinguishing hemangioblastoma from metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma. While the diagnostic importance is evident, the pathophysiology of inhibin A expression by the stromal cells of hemangioblastoma remains unknown and further investigation is required.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Cystic sebaceous neoplasms have been seen only in patients with Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) and have recently been characterized as marker lesions of MTS. Histologically, these lesions form a spectrum of tumors ranging from benign cystic adenomas to proliferative cystic sebaceous tumors. We describe 2 proliferative cystic sebaceous tumors in a 53-year-old man whose workup revealed colonic adenocarcinoma and other sebaceous tumors consistent with MTS. Both the chest wall and the left thigh masses were grossly cystic, measuring 1.0 and 1.5 cm, respectively. Histologic sections demonstrated well-circumscribed cystic neoplasms located in the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Each had a focally infolded cyst wall composed of immature basaloid cells with prominent nucleoli and mitoses, consistent with a proliferative cystic sebaceous tumor. Recognition of cystic sebaceous neoplasm by pathologists and communication to clinicians of its strong association with MTS is of diagnostic importance.
Article: Rosette Formation Within A Proliferative Nodule of an Atypical Combined Melanocytic Nevus in an Adult[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Rosette formation is a feature that has not been described as occurring in melanocytic neoplasms. We present such a unique case. A 59-year-old man presented with an asymptomatic, soft, hairy 3.0 x 2.0-cm pigmented lesion that had been present for many years in the right external ear, extending from the conchal bowl onto the antitragus area. Examination of histologic sections showed a proliferation of nonatypical and heavily pigmented melanocytes in the superficial dermis and around deep adnexal structures, characteristic of a congenital nevus. In other areas, pigmented spindled and dendritic cells infiltrated thickened collagen bundles in a pattern of a blue nevus. A nodular proliferation of epithelioid melanocytes was seen within the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The periphery of the nodule merged with the surrounding nevus cells. Neoplastic cells with nuclear atypia, melanin pigment, pseudonuclear inclusions, and balloon cell change were present. In addition, there was rosette formation by the tumor cells, with a central aggregate of coarse cell processes. Neuroid cords were also noted. No prominent mitotic figures, necrosis, or significant inflammatory infiltrate were noted. The neoplastic cells were positive for S-100 protein, Mart-1, tyrosinase, neuron-specific enolase, and vimentin. HMB-45 and Ki-67 (MIB-1) labeled only rare neoplastic cells within the proliferative nodule. The tumor cells were negative for synaptophysin, protein gene product 9.5, CD57, epithelial membrane antigen, CD31, and CD34. The central cell processes of the rosettes were negative for trichome, type IV collagen, neurofilament protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and tyrosine hydroxylase. We also retrospectively examined 78 congenital nevi of 65 pediatric patients at our institution. Rosette formation was not seen in any of these cases.
Article: Effectiveness and safety of image-directed biopsies: Coaxial technique versus conventional fine-needle aspiration[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: We compared the effectiveness and safety of image-guided biopsies done with coaxial guides versus fine-needle aspiration done without coaxial guides. With the use of hospital computer records and chart reviews, all image-guided biopsies done during a 4-year period at our institution were assessed for adequacy and complications. For each biopsy, the use of a coaxial guide, the site, and the imaging modality were recorded. Adequacy of the biopsy and complications were compiled. Success rates were calculated for conventional and coaxial biopsies and by modality and site. Coaxial technique reduced the number of unsatisfactory biopsies compared with conventional technique in extrathoracic sites. The decrease was statistically significant. No major complications occurred from extrathoracic biopsies with either technique. No difference was found in success rates or complication rates between ultrasound-guided and CT-guided biopsies using coaxial technique. Coaxial technique reduces the number of inadequate biopsies in extrathoracic sites, without a detectable increase in complications.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The role of mammography in the evaluation of male patients presenting with breast disease is controversial. This controversy is a function of the lack of specific data concerning the diagnostic accuracy of mammography when used in this clinical setting. The purpose of this study was to define the diagnostic accuracy of mammography in the evaluation of male breast disease. One hundred and four prebiopsy mammograms from 100 patients with tissue diagnoses were read blindly by two independent radiologists, and placed into one of five predetermined categories: definitely malignant, possibly malignant, gynecomastia, benign mass, and normal. Radiologic/pathologic correlation was performed and the sensitivity (Sn), specificity (Sp), positive (Ppv) and negative predictive value (Npv), and accuracy (Ac) for each of the mammographic diagnostic category determined. The pathologic diagnoses were 12 cancers, including 1 patient with bilateral breast cancer, 70 cases of gynecomastia, 16 benign masses, and 6 normals. The accuracy data for the mammographic diagnostic categories are as follows: malignant (combined definitely and possibly malignant), Sn 92%, Sp 90%, Ppv 55%, Npv 99%, Ac 90%; and overall benignity (combined gynecomastia, benign mass, and normal), Sn 90%, Sp 92%, Ppv 99%, Npv 55%, Ac 90%. Six cancers (50%) coexisted with gynecomastia. Mammography can accurately distinguish between malignant and benign male breast disease. Although not a replacement for clinical examination, its routine use could substantially reduce the need for biopsy in patients whose mammograms and clinical examination suggest benign disease.

- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Bcl-2 overexpression is a common event in small cell carcinomas (SCLC). The bcl-2 oncoprotein has a unique oncogenic role by inhibiting programmed cell death (apoptosis), resulting in tumorigenesis and chemoresistance. Forty-two cases of SCLC were stained immunohistochemically with bcl-2 monoclonal antibody (Biogenex, San Ramon, CA) after using an antigen retrieval step with citrate buffer. bcl-2 positivity was determined as detection of the oncoprotein in greater than 10% of noncrushed neoplastic cells. Twenty-five of 42 (60%) patients had extensive disease at presentation, 10 of 42 (24%) had limited disease, and 7 of 42 (16%) had disease localized to the lung. Twenty-four of 42 (57%) tumors were bcl-2 positive, and 18 of 42 (43%) tumors were bcl-2 negative. Follow-up in patients ranged from 7 days to 96 months (mean follow-up, 20 months). The median survival of patients with bcl-2-positive tumors was 11 months, as opposed to 13 months for bcl-2-negative tumors. There was no significant difference in median survival between bcl-2-positive and bcl-2-negative SCLC (log rank test, P = .2256). Using Cox's proportional hazards model, median survival in SCLC was determined to be independent of age at diagnosis, stage at presentation, therapeutic modality, and bcl-2 expression. bcl-2 expression does not significantly influence survival in SCLC.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Various male breast diseases have characteristic mammographic appearances that can be correlated with their pathologic diagnoses. Male breast cancer is usually subareolar and eccentric to the nipple. Margins of the lesions are more frequently well defined, and calcifications are rarer and coarser than those occurring in female breast cancer. Gynecomastia usually appears as a fan-shaped density emanating from the nipple, gradually blending into surrounding fat. It may have prominent extensions into surrounding fat and, in some cases, an appearance similar to that of a heterogeneously dense female breast. Although there are characteristic mammographic features that allow breast cancer in men to be recognized, there is substantial overlap between these features and the mammographic appearance of benign nodular lesions. The mammographic appearance of gynecomastia is not similar to that of male breast cancer, but in rare cases, it can mask malignancy. Gynecomastia can be mimicked by chronic inflammation. All mammographically lucent lesions of the male breast appear to be benign, similar to such lesions in the female breast.

The crew of SCETVs Making It Grow! was in Aiken on Thursday morning filming a segment at Cold Creek Nurseries, which will run on the local educational channel some time in June or July.
We do about 40 episodes during the course of the year, said Sean Flynn, of Clemson University, who produces the show. Cooperative extension agents are live in the studio to answer questions, but each show features a taped segment. We try to highlight unique places, nurseries, garden centers and farms.
Amanda McNulty, a Clemson University extension agent, serves as the shows host.
Viewers generally call in with simplistic questions, McNulty said.
Theyre usually people whove moved to South Carolina but are baffled by the changes in temperature and climate, and because its a whole different way of gardening, said McNulty. A lot of it is educating people and letting them know what resources are available.
Soil preparation in South Carolina, particularly in the Midlands, is very important, McNulty said.
People come from places where they have really rich soil, so when theyre down here, especially in a place like Aiken, soil is a bit of a challenge because theres not much but sand and red clay, she said.
Gardeners should be vigilant and stay on top of potential problems, McNulty said.
The show also places an emphasis on motivating people to have an environmentally sensitive approach to gardening and recognizing the importance of water conservation.
People who have disease and pest problems dont realize it until theyve gone kind of far, said McNulty. So, we encourage people to be proactive in scouting their gardens and finding things early; and then youre able to do something that has a very light footprint.
Making It Grow! airs live on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. on SCETV, with replays at 8 p.m. on the SC Channel and Saturdays at 3:30 p.m. on the SC Channel.
For more information, visit scetv.org.
Ben Baugh has been covering the equine industry and equestrian sport for the Aiken Standard since 2004.

Just when you thought Intel was having sitting proud with its new Core 2 Duo/Extreme processors which are turning out to be quite the gaming chip, here comes an attack from a totally different angle. When it comes to PC gaming, Epic Games Co-Founder Mark Rein has an axe to
grind with Intel. Rein took Intel to task over heavily promoting its
integrated graphics offerings on the desktop and notebook front that are far
inferior to the latest in graphics technology used by ATI and NVIDIA.
Integrated graphics offerings from Intel litter the PC
market and are the reason why the company is still the number one provider of
graphics controllers in the industry. When DailyTech last reported on the
status of the graphics industry, Intel was leading the way with 37.5% of
the market. The next closest was ATI with 26.5% and NVIDIA followed with 18.7%.
"Integrated graphics cannot compete with the console gaming experience. If
you're going to be out there creating these great next-generation games that
kick ass and look wonderful, and help to sell these next-gen systems, you're
screwed if your customers have Intel integrated graphics," said Rein at
the at the Develop conference.
Rein feels that Intel's large size and power in the industry
has stifled game development on the PC side and hinders developers in making PC
games comparable to their console brethren. He also states that Intel preys on
the ignorance of consumers to the importance of graphics horsepower with today's
game titles. "For example, a game like Gears of War - there's just no way we
can make that run. We can dumb it down to run on a lower-end 7-series or
6-series NVIDIA GPU; we can dumb it down to run on an ATI X1300, something of
that nature - but it just will not scale down to Intel integrated graphics.
It's just not possible," continued Rein.
Details are starting to unfold on Intel's next generation
graphics architecture as
reported by DailyTech late last month.
GMA X3000 is reported to feature a 667MHz graphics core along with an
improved T&L engine. HDR will be supported as will Pixel Shader 3.0 and
Vertex Shader 3.0. Whether the improvements under the hood will be enough to
satisfy Rein remain to be seen, but chances are they won't.
quote: Rein took Intel to task over heavily promoting its integrated graphics offerings on the desktop and notebook front
quote: I have a proposal: Why doesn't NVIDIA and ATI make graphics affordable again?
quote: If you compare the price of an XBOX360, 400$, great graphics and fps and avarage computer prices, 600-1000$, sucky fps, what would you chose?
quote: If you compare the price of an XBOX360, 400$, great graphics and fps and avarage computer prices, 600-1000$, sucky fps, what would you chose?
quote: I don't attempt new and unusual hairstyles without discussing it with my fashion-and-style conscious friends.
quote: How is Intel to blame? If you get a system with integrated video then you are most probably not buying the system for the purpose of gaming. Even so, you could easily upgrade and pop in a dedicated graphics board later on. This guy is blowing steam and making no sense.
quote: Turn off the damn eye candy then. It's not really necessary in a work environment anyway. Run it without the aero interface. Oh you want that eye candy? Well then bite the bullet and get new systems.
quote: Intel Extreme is crap at this point. Plain and simple. It's also what....3 years old?
The GMA950 and so forth does what it's supposed to do: have the featureset necessary to play today's games, albeit at a low resolution/low FPS.
He complains that Intel could throw $8-$15 at an IGP and make it more powerful. Well the thing he's neglecting is when intel is selling 1,000,000 of these IGPs per year, well you do the math.

Android 3.0 Rumored for Q4 2010
New information suggests October release date.
Rumors are circulating about Google's next version of Android, the open source, Linux-based mobile operating system. Version 3.0 (Codename: Gingerbread) will supposedly require a 1GHz CPU and at least 512MB of RAM onboard, making it a shoe-in for high-end smartphones. Gingerbread will also support a screen resolution as high as 1280x760.
Gingerbread will also feature an overhauled UI, which based on the recent announcement that Android had acquired Palm's Human Interface and User Experience VP, is a natural step. It's also rumored Google isn't ditching Android 2.2 with the release of 3.0, but rather codeveloping the operating systems, keeping 2.2 up to date on lower end devices and 3.0 on high-end phones and possibly tablets.
Again, this isn't confirmed, as Google is remaining quiet on the subject. Until there's actual confirmation, keep it in perspective.
oops XD sorry...Sorry, forgot to include the link...
Android 3 release date...Thought this looked a little interesting...check out the release date of the book...

City of the Dead (Qarafa)
Qarafa, or The City of the Dead, is two 4 mile (6 km) long cemeteries - a north and south cemetery - dating from Mamluk times (1200s - 1500s) and is still in use today. Traditionally all families kept a mausoleum and these days some families use them for living in as well as for burials. Some families have been inhabiting the tombs for generations, some arrived more recently after the 1967 war displaced them from the canal zone. The north cemetery has more people residing in it and estimates are up to half a million people live there. These days there are shops, cafes and even a post-office within the cemeteries.
Many of the tombs themselves are quite grand and beautiful dating back centuries and in the Mamluk style. The northern cemetery is home to some of Cairo's most beautiful Mamluk monuments, such as the Mausoleums of Sultan Qaitbay and Sultan Barquq.
Practical Info
The City of the Dead is located just east of Cairo, at the foot of the Moqattam Cliff. The easiest way to the Northern Cemetery is heading east from Midan al-Hussein along Sharia al-Azhar. As you crest the top of the hill, bear right, walk below the overpass and go straight along the road between the tombs. Follow this road to the left, then right. You'll pass by the crumbling, domed Tomb of Emir Tashtimur on your left. About 150m further on, a narrow lane goes left, passing under a stone archway. This is the gate to the former compound of Qaitbay, whose splendid mosque is immediately ahead.
It is a poor and conservative area so take care and be respectful when taking photographs. It is unsafe to go after dark.

Jill; Khawan Kelley and Gen. David Petreaus
The head spinning developments in the pot-boiler Gen. Petreaus scandal raised another notch yesterday with revelations about Ms. Jill Khawan Kelley, a sometime socialite and lady bountiful to the CENTCOM commanders at neighboring MacDill Air Force base in Tampa, Florida. Pure speculations have run riot about her involvement in the twists and turns of l'Affaire Petreaus given the contact with an errant FBI agent, and email exchanges with Army Res. Major Paula Broadwell, the alleged paramour. The revelations about several hundred email exchanges between Ms. Kelley and Marine Gen. Allen, Petreaus' successor as ISAF commander in Afghanistan, put his nomination on hold for the NATO Commander slot.
The Huffington Post noted:
Not only did the judge in the case award her ex-husband custody last year of their 3-year-old son, John, but he also told Khawam to pay his legal bills amounting to $350,000. Khawam filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in April after racking up more than $3 million in debt, according to federal court records.

This is what is rumored on emc's message board.........any comments on that...
RACK will bottom and recover in share price based on its technicals and fundamentals. Now having a PEG of lower than 1.00 is more impressive than any rumor of a buyout......Good luck
Now is the time EMC should place a bid for RACK. They could bid 30 bucks and the shareholders would probably appove that. 3 days ago they would not have approved it. Nothing has changed for RACK...Growth with a bump in the road....I bet EMC is thinking about this one.....Any shorts that did not cover today or yesterday will be call the PIG of all PIGs if EMC bids for RACK!
lets hope not, rack is a much faster growing co. you will make more money owning rack then emc or sun or ibm. im buying rack here, good price could get a fast rebound. after all the company has 324 million in assets and at $18.75 a share thats about a 526 million market cap. i just seen the new p.e is at 17 forward. thats good, i believe the stock is over sold and a new buy has been put on the stock with a $28.00 target. should bonce tomorrow.
where did you see the buy rec. and $28 target?
At the latest RACK investor presentation, one of the analysts asked why EMC wasn't a competetive threat in RACK's business, and the CEO commented they wouldn't be interested in it because the gross margins were too low - it would drag down EMC's overall margins. If that is true, it doesn't make sense that EMC would buy them?

This looks so great in the photo. Well, it is not as "voluptuous" as it appears in the photo. The fabric is scratching and feels cheap. In the photo too, it looks wide and long. It is not, even the pillows look bigger in the photo. I love the look. . . of the photo. In reality, it is a shadow of itself.
This is a good starter set. The fabric texture is not soft, just average cotton-poly blend. The print (stamped) on the fabric is not great quality, though it looks great in pictures or from afar. The brown/blue pattern is especially cheap looking. With a little effort, you can get something better for the money.
it is very nice. Just as described. It had more brown in it than I expected, but I liked the comforter.
The color on the screen is nothing like actual product
The colors in the comforter matched the bedroom wall color perfectly. Nice quality and am very glad I ordered it!
In the picture blue is the predominant color with white being an accent. In reality white was predominant with blue being the accent. The pillows looked cheaply made and the comforter itself was thin.
We got this set for our guest room. The colors are great! The yellow accent pillow is a bit more muted than pictured, but still very cute. We will not be using this regularly as it will just be for occasional guest. If we were going to use it daily, I would be a bit concerned with the weight and quality. If using reguarly, might buy the duvet instead so I could put a quality down comforter inside! Overall, we like it very much.

AlbertG: If Trump's visit teaches him not to trust what he watches on Fox News it will be a positive. For the rest of his supporters: Trump could roll out an immigration policy that is exactly the same as our current policy and they, and Trump himself by the way, wouldn't know the difference. The two main drivers of illegal immigration is economic, as in American people willing to employ undocumented workers and difficulty becoming a legal immigrant. These two factors have been in play for at least 25 years and unless we wake the hell up they will be in play for the next 50. Oh and Trump supporters where do a majority of undocumented workers come from? It's not Mexico

Skip to comments.Worlds biggest coal company brings U.S. government to court in climate fraud
Posted on 02/17/2010 7:06:01 PM PST by mimi from mi
The worlds largest private sector coal business, the Peabody Energy Company (PEC) has filed a mammoth 240-page Petition for Reconsideration, a full-blown legal challenge against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The petition must be answered and covers the entire body of leaked emails from Climategate as well as those other gate revelations including the frauds allegedly perpetrated under such sub-headings as Himalayan Glaciers, African Agricultural Production, Amazon Rain Forests, Melting Mountain Ice, Netherlands Below Sea Level as well as those much-publicized abuses of the peer-review literature and so called gray literature. These powerful litigants also draw attention to the proven criminal conduct by climate scientists in refusing to honor Freedom of Information law (FOIA) requests.
Peabody is, in effect, challenging the right of the current U.S. federal government to introduce cap and trade regulations by the back door. In this article we summarize Peabodys legal writ.
PEC has pulled out all the stops to overturn the EPA findings Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act made on December 7, 2009.
(Excerpt) Read more at climategate.com ...
I remember crossing the Green River bridge when we took trips to Henderson and Ellis Park (dad loved to bet on the horses :-)
How about a RICO or class action suit by all direct and indirect customers of Peabody Coal or other users of electricity produced from coal?! Lets all sue their a$$es! Tie 'em up legally for years.
"Obama doesnt care at all....."
I suspect Obama cares a lot. Remember the Olympics and Valerie Jarrett? She owned tenements where part of the Olympics grounds would be sited - big $ for Jarrett and no doubt also for Zero. Surely, Obama and friends have their hands open and are expecting big money for getting climate legislation made into law. If this house of cards falls, Obama stands to lose that money.

Statement of Peabody Energy Regarding Petition for Reconsideration to EPA
Peabody Energy today filed a detailed petition citing new information as a basis to urge the U.S. EPA to reconsider its claim that greenhouse gases endanger human health.
Under the Clean Air Act, EPA's "endangerment finding" could mean regulation of hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions of buildings, farms, businesses and other facilities in the U.S.
Peabody believes that EPA ignored its obligation to render sound judgment and conduct a rigorous review of science, instead relying almost exclusively on the work of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as a major basis for its recent endangerment finding.
The IPCC is an international body whose work is not subject to U.S. data quality standards or consistently peer reviewed.
Compounding this error, EPA outsourced its scientific obligations to an agency whose work has since been shown to be deeply tainted by flaws, in light of multiple instances of errors, manipulated data and gaps in information that make conclusions unreliable. It is clear that the intent of some was to shape a report to satisfy an agenda that is political and not scientific.
Given the seriousness of the flaws by the IPCC, relied upon by EPA, the immediacy of draconian regulation is unwarranted. There is no sufficient basis to implement regulations that would harm a fragile economy, further suppress investment and raise energy costs for Americans. The agency needs to step back and begin a thorough review of the real state of scientific understanding of greenhouse gases.
To the extent that long-term concern regarding greenhouse gas emissions still validly exists, climate change is at worst a long-term challenge - not the immediate crisis that has been conveyed. There is ample time to develop low-emissions technologies such as carbon capture and storage, which global agencies and multiple nations believe are essential for meeting long-term carbon goals.
This supplements Peabody's original objections to the finding, which ignores the many societal benefits from coal use in helping people live longer and better, while focusing only on perceived costs. Peabody continues to believe that coal use is essential for U.S. economic growth and the advancement of human development around the world. Coal is the fastest growing fuel in the world and global coal demand is expected to increase more than 1.5 times faster than the combined growth rate of oil, natural gas, nuclear and renewables.
BTTT! Sure hope they win!
Just the beginning of the suits to come!
Man, I hope that this case sheds light on this whole subject. It's time to bring the public up to speed on this fraud that has been bestown upon them.
I want to see an avalanche of lawsuits because of this.
Donald Trump just said that Al Gore should return his Noble Peace Prize.
It should be a class action law suit. Where can I sign up, I would even donate money to be included.
Would be great to have a TeaPartyClimateFraud rally and really shake them up and name all the RINO's who are FOR it. Might get some resignations.
Oh baby!
Dittos on that.
Never heard of Peabody before.
This company is now on my hero list.
And with the demise of the immoral McCain-Feingold Law, Peabody may make its voice heard in the next election cycle that would be devastating to the Climate Scammers.
Indeed it is.
Let's just start to call in some "expert" witnesses.
If there are lots of other people like yourself, maybe you could get a class action lawsuit going.
Meanwhile headline news keeps talking ad nauseum about Tiger Woods affaires as some kind of breaking news...
not at all.
What makes you an expert in this case?! Care to elaborate?
LOL...wow...I mean, wow. Firstly, I haven't claimed to be any sort of expert, nor was I commenting on the viability of the case in any way. You really ran off into some other county by way of interpretation. If I was unclear I'll apologize.
THANK YOU!! Wonder if Peabody has this?
Barry put his foot in it with this - I SO PRAY his arrogance gags him this time!
Obama's cronies on their heels!
Well, somebody had to do it.
Getting Michael Mann and James Hansen under oath after they produce documents would be yummy.
"Hello, Peabody here!"
I'm sure the judges will say Peabody has no standing.
What is the symbol or where do we find this info?
Peabody won't be going out of business and even if they did there are many coal companies that would grab up their properties and keep digging coal.
Nobama doesn't have the gravitas to terminate the use of coal. All he can do is stir shite and make it a bit more troublesome to mine coal.
Used to really enjoy "eat a lot of peaches" music, but he's always been a lib-weenie.
Just heard this from a friend: The VA Attorney General just filed suit against the EPA, contesting their assertion that that greenhouse gases are hazardous to your health. If not (hazardous), EPA cannot regulate them.
Anyone hear this??? If it has already been posted, please excuse.
Don't know of a thread - heard it mentioned on Rush or somewhere - supposedly happened in the spring of '08 when his campaign was getting started - he was doing a radio interview talking about how he wanted "new energy" sources and his cap and trade bill - said he didn't care if the coal campanies wanted to fight him because he'd "bankrupt" them if they did - another shocking statement that never got enough airtime from McCain......
Let's sue them till they can't do any more harm !
Great! Kick Obama's a$$ 'till his nose bleeds!
This really is a biggy, and one that deserves ALL of our abilities in spreading the word about it.
This is a direct legal challenge to the Climate Change Fraud. Getting these Warmer Klowns in court, UNDER OATH, should be a real hoot, although it will take YEARS...
you know i was going to post that. i cannot hear the name peabody without thinking of that darn song. i hate bluegrass music.
Yes, and ignoring laws that Congress has not passed. It is high time that these executive orders be either challenged or ignored. This is NOT Democracy!
A key component of the scientific argument for anthropogenic global warming (AGW) has been disproven. The results are hiding in plain sight in peer-reviewed journals.
The science behind the AGW hypothesis is that increased amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere (that humans produce by burning fossil fuels) will block more outgoing long-wave IR radiation (OLR) from exiting the atmosphere and thereby warm the surface.
So the results of three different peer-reviewed papers show that over a period of 36 years, there is no reduction of OLR emissions in wavelengths that CO2 absorb. Therefore, the AGW hypothesis is disproven.
It should be noted that another paper written by Richard Lindzen and Yong-Sang Choi (both work at MIT's Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences -- Lindzen is a professor and Choi is a postdoctoral fellow) reveals the differences between the measured OLR and its impact on temperatures vs. climate models. In the paper, the data showed that OLR increased when sea surface temperatures increased, so this is in direct contradiction to the AGW hypothesis that less OLR should be emitted since more CO2 is absorbing it and warming the planet. Furthermore, in contradiction to the climate models, these results show that OLR is acting like a negative feedback (cooling the surface) instead of a positive feedback (radiative forcing). The Lindzen and Choi paper dealt in general with all OLR wavelengths and didn't show granularity with respect to specific wavelengths that were related to various GHG absorption, but the fact that the entire OLR emission spectrum didn't behave like the eleven climate models' predictions means that "the science isn't settled."
IMHO, the title should have been, "The Four Anti-AGW Smoking Guns."
climategate.com should suffice as the source. Repating the source URL isn't necessary.
This should be good.
Go Big Coal!
(Spoken like a proud Kentuckian)
Coal: The U.S. is sitting on a Sh$tload of it AND we don't have to bow to the Saudis who may not "sponsor" terror, but who certainly heve birthed their share of Anti-American terrorists.
Clean coal technology for America, YES!
Thanks SO MUCH for posting! The USA is the Saudi Arabia of coal — just think! Clean cheap energy, jobs, prosperity! What the heck is the matter with the EPA? That's one agency that needs to be defunded. They have done more to destroy free enterprise than any other agency in the country. Logging, mining, refining, drilling, all fall under the EPA thumb — why? Nobody elected those freaks, but they somehow regulate every business in the country.
You make a very valid point. The EPA is an agency that has no congressional power. It is time for them to be sued. They sure as hell are not the government.
What really gripes me is that this elephantine agency is supported by OUR TAX DOLLARS to destroy industry! And nobody like them — they're in cahoots with the envirowhackos, and they have their nasty paws in everything.
They somehow have the power to impose fines and prison — who died and left them sheriff? Honestly, the EPA is the worst agency in the country.
