All winter long we shiver and look forward to spring.
Then spring arrives and we complain about pollen, fatigue and bugs.
When summer arrives we sweat too much to enjoy ourselves and in the fall we have endless piles of leaves to rake and bag (don't even get me started about the folks who burn them).
It's spring, and if you can't tell, I'm a bit grouchy. Maybe it's allergies.
The library has a few books that may help you – and me – banish our spring fatigue, allergies and bugs.
To combat fatigue: "No More Fatigue: Why You're So Tired and What You Can Do About It" by Jack Challem, "What Nurses Know - Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" by Lorraine Steefel and "The Exhaustion Cure: Up Your Energy from Low to Go in 21 days" by Laura Stack.
If you suffer from seasonal allergies, try "Action Plan for Allergies" by William Briner or "Allergies Sourcebook" by Amy Sutton.
For kids needing to cope with allergies, try "How to Deal with Allergies" by Lynette Robbins. To discover why modern humans are plagued by allergies, check out "An Epidemic of Absence: A New Way of Understanding Allergies and Autoimmune Diseases" by Moises Velasquez-Manoff.
Unwanted pests? Read "Tiny Game Hunting: Environmentally Healthy Ways to Trap and Kill the Pests in Your House and Garden" by Hilary Klein, or "The Bed Bug Book: The Complete Guide to Prevention and Extermination" by Ralph Maestre.
Too grouchy for a book? The Charleston County Library has plenty of action movies for you to check out, including "Black Death," "Red Tails," "Cell 211" and "Season of the Witch."
If you're looking for an indoor strategy to escape that nasty spring pollen, I hope you'll attend a free library program.
At Mount Pleasant Regional, we have plenty to choose from.

First pics of the Moto X backplates leak
0. phoneArena 03 Jul 2013, 16:45 posted on
We are quite obviously getting very close to the official reveal of the Motorola Moto X, because the leaks are coming fast and furious now. We've already seen a couple of places, including ABC News, repeating information that we had reported months ago, and now we're seeing the first leaked pictures of the Moto X backplate in various colors...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Mehhh, not hating on this device but I don't think it'll be enough to stand on it's own. They need a true flag ship device of 2013 already.
5. Potato. (banned) (Posts: 607; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
May be they want to become Mid-ranger king?
6. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Well then they are on their way, lol what I wonder is, what will be the price tag of the Moto X? If they can match the 299 OFF CONTRACT price that the Nexus 4 has, they might just be able to pull something off.
15. Potato. (banned) (Posts: 607; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
Since they will give consumer choices to customize the phones so I think it will give tough time to other manufacturers.
Motorloa has been working on this phone for a very long time and I think they will introduce something serious
17. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Motorala just needs a flagship with the same customization/strong advertising and Samsung would be dead.
19. Potato. (banned) (Posts: 607; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
I disagree with you.
Samsung is on top and it would be very difficult (almost impossible) for them to snatch its position.
Only Nokia, Apple and HTC can bring Samsung down.
27. MistB (Posts: 581; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
C'mon, I'm a Nokia supporter but out of those three names you mentioned, let's be realistic. Apple is the only true adversary that are either on par/toppling Samsung, they have a large enough cash revenue/vast following and clout to influence the tech and media industry. When we hear about earnings and top market share, it will always be Samsung and Apple, HTC by comparison is almost irrelevant to both outside the phone industry.
28. Potato. (banned) (Posts: 607; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
Before 2009.. Nokia was leading the smartphone market and no one had thought that Samsung will be the king.
Same thing can be applied to HTC.
Apple can't be on number one I think.
Most of the people prefer Android over iOS for its eco system. If Nokia brings Android or WP8 gets some serious improvement then they can beat Samsung but it will take time..
Samsung will be the king for next 2-3 years easily.
31. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Apple becoming number 1 is pipe dream unless they rethink about their criminally high prices.
45. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
Motorola has as good a chance as HTC & Nokia. maybe not Apple though.
44. james004 (Posts: 486; Member since: 15 May 2013)
i think its one of the latest nokia windows phone that allows customers to change the back cover or housing for phone and it looks like totally different phone.
this is same approach.
if any one used nokia 3310 you would remember how it used to be done back then ;)
39. trustory (Posts: 132; Member since: 23 Jan 2013)
But the nexus 4 and this have of very similar specs. Since this is 2013 not 2012 anymore shouldn't it be less than 300? Maybe 250$ or even better 200$
16. AnTuTu (Posts: 1580; Member since: 14 Oct 2012)
Moto why not a Phablet flagship with your awesome build quality ?? :(
Sad :(
22. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
That's likely the plan for the RAZR Ultra
30. AnTuTu (Posts: 1580; Member since: 14 Oct 2012)
Looking forward to that one. Thanks for the update
33. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 12979; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
Phablets are niche and the last thing Motorola needs is saturating there product line.
35. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4189; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
Yeah, everyone should only make one or two models at most. Screw choice.
40. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
That's a job for the Razr Ultra. Motorola and Google's devices will be separate from each other. The Moto X is their Google phone that's meant to be priced low and available almost everywhere, Motorola will still have their own line of devices with high end specs.
2. Potato. (banned) (Posts: 607; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
Why everyone is copying Nokia's stragety of colorful phones?
Colored iPhones.. Now colored Moto X..
3. smallworld (Posts: 484; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
Shut up.

Well please dont....and BTW lumia have got at most 5 colors moto has 20.....so if anything moto have beaten lumia...
10. Potato. (banned) (Posts: 607; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
Nice try BTW.
8. MrKoles (Posts: 368; Member since: 20 Jan 2013)
So colours are patented too? I lolled so hard...
9. Potato. (banned) (Posts: 607; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
Can you tell me where I have said "colors are patented or Nokia will sue them etc"?
Please get a life and read my comment again
11. alltechinside (Posts: 248; Member since: 21 Apr 2013)
They were many flip phones that had variety of colors. Nokia is NOT the first company to come up with that.
I just hope you are trolling....
12. smallworld (Posts: 484; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
Colorful phones have existed since years now.
13. Potato. (banned) (Posts: 607; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
You don't say?
23. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Yes, because we all know that no product in history offered a choice of colors before Nokia came around...
24. Potato. (banned) (Posts: 607; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
+1 for making my statement clear.

Colored devices have been around long before Nokia. Remember colored game boys?
34. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4189; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
How many things don't come in different colors? If anything the things that come in one or two colors are in the minority.
36. Mobilephile (Posts: 149; Member since: 25 Nov 2012)
you're so right, even these copied their color strategy! the bastards
14. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
20 colors. What a awesome concept. All we need is a Moto press conference.
18. promise7 (Posts: 877; Member since: 03 Jul 2013)
i dislike how phone companies only make the back of the phone in different colors. i think the front should be the same color as well, but of course this is much more costly and time assuming.
20. DaNTRoN (Posts: 135; Member since: 23 Jul 2012)
What the hell does it matter what color? It's about performance. And black is pretty much best for view ability. But if the phone doesn't run, or the screen sucks it doesn't matter. I'd rather have a smartphone than a blue turd. Colors and engravings don't get me excited.
21. TheLolGuy (Posts: 483; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
It's not all about performance. It's about features that are fun and useful, and making sure that the performance can deliver them optimally. More performance is great, but not everything like you say it is.
There was an article on this site saying Google kind of gave up on making this the super phone, though... it seems like they did something at least, since it's mentioned to have hardware/software features to give it situational awareness etc.
25. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i think i'd want the back of mine to be black but i'd want a different color spine. i hope there's a brighter green than the one pictured here for me to choose and of course if i have the option i'll make it METAL! ;D
oh man i'm getting really excited about this now. i may just hold on to the Note II i'm getting tomorrow for a bit instead of selling it or putting cash with it to get an S4 or something.
26. Napalm_3nema (Posts: 2183; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
Hideous. Buh-bye, Moto.
37. daniel_bargs (Posts: 325; Member since: 27 Nov 2010)
DAMNNN, non-removable batteries!!!!!!!!!!!!!
next phone please. Moto X is getting more disappointing!
38. roldefol (Posts: 4242; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
Moto has been doing non-removable batteries since the 2011 Razr. That's almost 2 years. Why would the X be any different?
42. pellegrini (Posts: 84; Member since: 14 Jun 2012)
I think that Motorola has a point doing this removable back cover.
Every year they say that they are seeking to make the fastest and the most durable phone.
The Kevlar back is awesome, a bit ugly for some people, but the fell and grip is unique for me.
But how many people today are brave enough to go out without a bumper to show the beauty of their phones? Not many I guess. The reason is simple, we don't want to scratch them.
So I think they are aiming to make a phone that you wont need to buy a bumper to protect it because the back cover will be replaceable (and I hope it will be cheap). So if it scratch or break you just need to buy a new one.
Anyway, I'm still hoping for more, otherwise it will be very disappointing.

SALEM - The Salem Quakers found themselves in a familiar situation at half-time Friday at Reilly Stadium. Unfortunately, it was a little too similar to to their home opener a week ago.
Carrollton jumped out to a big lead early and cruised to a 42-6 victory.
Down 35-0 through 24 minutes, Salem found itself with yet another mountain to climb.
"It was two different games," Salem head coach Ron Johnson said of comparing Friday night with a 34-0 hole to the Niles Red Dragons last week.
"Our performance was significantly different. So we had to challenge ourselves to play better football. We did some things better in the second half but we still have a long way to go."
As they did against Niles, the Quakers came out in the second half and moved the football in their Northeastern Buckeye Conference opener, but again it was too little, too late.
"We still have a lot to work to do," Johnson said. "We can't shoot ourselves in the foot over and over. Carrolton is a good football team. They're very fundamentally sound and that's where we aspire to be someday."
Following a Salem punt, Carrolton found pay-dirt in just two plays.
Zade Dietz connected with Andy Fuhrer for a 19-yard score to give Carrolton the early lead.
"They had guys that really made plays tonight," Johnson said. "Obviously we weren't out of position, but when the ball is in the air it belongs to any guy, and their guy went up and made a play. That's what we have to do. We have to make plays."
The Quakers showed their mettle on the ensuing drive, moving the ball inside of the Carrolton 10, but were unable to punch it in for a score.
"That was real big," Johnson said. "We should have stuck it in there and we didn't. We had another self-inflicted wound. We had first-and-goal at the four and had a procedure penalty. It's a big deal that we allowed that to happen," Johnson said.
Dietz made the Quakers pay just 15 seconds into the second quarter when he made his way through Salem defenders and into the end zone on a 34-yard scamper.
Methodically, Carrolton continued to move the ball and scored again with a 16-yard touchdown pass from Dietz to Steve Mohn.
Penalties and miscues plagued a Salem offense that showed it was capable of moving the football at times. The Quakers found holes in the defense both through the air and on the ground, but self-inflicted wounds prevented the offense from doing much in the first half.
Salem's turnover in the second quarter killed a lengthy drive that brought them into Warriors territory and resulted in more Carrollton points.
Dietz found a streaking Caleb Moyer for a 62-yard touchdown pass to put Carrolton up 28-0.
Dietz threw for 138 yards and two scores on the night. He also had 12 carries for 137 additional yards and two more touchdowns.
Carrolton didn't take their foot off of the gas pedal, putting up another score before the half on a 31-yard touchdown run by Tyler Dodd.
Dodd and Jake Peterson were the focal point of the offense in weeks prior, but this week Dietz took the reigns for much of the first half and led them to a 42-point effort and churned out 468 yards of offense total.
"He had been running it well," Johnson said. "They just locked on and got us blocked. That kid is going to be a good player and they've got good guys around him. They have a chance to win some games this year."
Dietz found the end zone to open the second half on a 17-yard run before giving way to the backup Luke McNutt.
The Quakers' offense fared better in the second half and finally found the end zone with 1:55 remaining in the fourth quarter as Trace Jenkins found Brooks Bezon for a 19-yard score.
"We have to get ourselves ready to play Marlington next week," Johnson said. "We have to get ourselves ready to play an exceptionally good football team."

Like all the honorees in this year's Men To Watch, Lou Caputo insists that the honor belongs to others.
"I am not particularly talented or gifted," Lou Caputo insists. "I am surrounded by amazing, talented people who do amazing work – so when I hear about this, I am truly humbled and I really just want to give all the kudos to them."
That's a generous and undoubtedly sincere statement, but few would likely agree with it.
In fact, Caputo is seemingly everywhere, doing many different things very well every day. As CEO of Summerville Medical Center, he works tirelessly to build and ensure a bright and successful future for the hospital, and by extrapolation, Dorchester County.
"All CEO's are exceptional at managing, but Summerville Medical Center CEO Lou Caputo does more than manage a hospital, he embraces the challenge of making people's lives better," Pat Thomason, Executive Administrative Assistant at Summerville Medical Center said in her nomination of Caputo for 2013 Men To Watch.
Since coming on board at SMC in August 2009, the hospital has added a bariatric center, wound care center, submitted a request to expand by adding 30 beds and is in the process of establishing a new pediatric center. Plans are in the works for a new building to go on nine acres recently purchased adjacent to SMC's present campus. And if all goes well, that facility should be a reality soon.
"We've had some great things get accomplished," he said. "We have some technologies and services that you typically just don't see in a small community hospital."
Caputo has volunteered time, talent and energy to a variety of organizations, including the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, United Way, Chambers of Commerce, his church, and his alma maters. He acknowledges that he is often asked to work with these organizations because of his leadership position, but also notes that these are opportunities to serve the community on different levels that he would probably not have otherwise.
"I feel very fortunate to be able to do what I do for work – I love to come to work every day," he said. "I enjoy taking care of people, be it family, patients, or the community. I am blessed to be able to live in a community like this, doing what I do, where I feel like I can make a difference."
He said he did not initially think about becoming a healthcare professional – like most new college graduates, he had no idea of what he wanted to do – certainly not a doctor or practitioner, he said. But eventually, he found himself drawn to healthcare and that idea of being able to help and take care of people.
Nonetheless, his family comes first. Always.
Caputo and his wife, Abby, adopted three children, siblings, from Guatemala. That process, while exhausting, is one of many reasons family is so special and important to him. Strong, unwavering faith that this was God's plan for them helped see them through the lengthy process. That faith and love is key and core to his family, he said.
"I have a very strong family – a wonderful, wonderful wife and kids who are extremely supportive of what I do professionally and in the community – I could not do any of that without them," he said. "They will always be my main priority. I work very hard to keep that work/life balance."
Abby Caputo agrees.
"The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Lou as a father is that he is so very 'present,'" his wife, Abby noted. "Obviously, he has an important job that he pours a lot of himself and his time into – but I can honestly say, though, that when he is home with us, he is 100 percent present and fully focused on our family. There is nothing on this earth that he puts before us."

The price stays the same, but the product gets smaller and smaller and smaller. It's called product "shrink" and it's the result of rising manufacturing costs.
As costs rise, companies must make a decision: raise the price of the product accordingly, or keep the price the same while reducing the size of the product.
I'm not the only one who's noticed product shrink, many readers have too, and my recent column on products being downsized elicited many passionate responses:
Q: Your column on groceries shrinking is so true. Half-gallon orange juice bottles went from 64 ounces to 59 ounces. Today I saw a brand of juice now has 46-ounce bottles! That is 18 ounces smaller than it used to be. And the funny thing is, when you look at the bottle from the front, it looks the same, but the bottle is only a couple of inches deep. Did the price go down? No. But now it's like three glasses of juice missing from the bottle. There was recently a $1 coupon in the paper and I was torn – do I buy it and give the company the impression I am supporting this downsizing? It was a better price than the store brand with the coupon but the store brand was still 64 ounces.
Q: Do not get me started on what is happening with groceries out there. Did you know that for some brands, ice cream isn't even really ice cream anymore? Look at the cartons, and if you see it labeled as "frozen dairy dessert." It has so much air whipped into it, and there isn't even enough milk or cream in the ingredients to legally call it ice cream anymore. Have you heard about this one? I bought some once and it was such mushy, airy stuff. Never again. It's got to say ice cream on the carton and that is something I will pay money for. But with major brands it is getting harder to find real ice cream.
A: Sadly, I am familiar with the "frozen dairy dessert" phenomenon and I won't buy those either. These products can't legally be called ice creams because they don't contain enough cream or milk fats to meet the standards set by the USDA to qualify as ice cream under the Dairy Industry Act.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a smaller, full-fat, dense, flavor-rich scoop of ice cream than two air-filled, less satisfying, not-quite-ice-cream scoops any day!

Automakers always have their reasons for selling certain cars in some markets and not others. Sometimes it's something as simple as emissions laws. Other times it's merely because they don't think the car will be a success in foreign markets. It's easy to see why not many full-sized pickups are sold in Europe or why we don't get a whole lot of superminis in the U.S., but there are some cars we're deprived of that don't make much sense. Interestingly, some of these are cars already have a fan base in the US, and would at least garner a dedicated niche market.
The following is a wish list of cars we'd love to get our hands on, but that are sadly only available in markets outside the United States.
Volkswagen Scirocco
Volkswagen, as well as its subsidiaries, is one of the worst offenders when it comes to withholding models from the U.S. market, and the Scirocco is the VW we want the most. It's a model that was actually sold here before, in the 1970s and 1980s. But when the nameplate was revived in 2008, Volkswagen didn't even let its North American division weigh in, with the decision being made in Germany that it would not make it across the pond. The attractive Golf-based coupe is offered with a long list of different engines, ranging from a highly efficient BlueMotion diesel to a 261-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged mill in the Scirocco R. The Scirocco would be the most attractive VW sold in US, were it to be introduced here, and this seems likely the reason why we don't have it. Volkswagen thought it would take too many sales away from the GTI. Of course, it's likely the smart, stylish, and speedy Scirocco would take some sales away from cars built by competing brands, so should VW like to reconsider its position, we would be in favor.
Citroen DS3 Racing
With Ford set to debut the Fiesta ST for the 2014 model year, the car will be the only model sold in the US that has a connection to one currently racking up top-tier WRC rally victories. The John Cooper Works Mini has some racing pedigree in this area as well, but the Citroen DS3 Racing is the only other street vehicle that seriously rivals the Fiesta in rallying. It would obviously be unfair for the Fiesta ST to have its niche all to itself, and it is in the spirit of good-natured market competition that we advocate the importation of the DS3 Racing. Now, French cars tend not to sell very well in the US, even rally cars, and this is one of the less likely cars on this list to come over. But it is very orange, so at least there's that. The engine is a 1.6-liter four-cylinder capable of producing 204 horsepower, which quite a lot in a car this small, and slightly more than the Fiesta makes. It is not, it must be said, a very subtle car, but there is something kind of charming about this much weirdness on a small hatchback right from the factory.
Holden Maloo
Of all of the cars we don't have in the US, this one hurts the most. The Maloo is built by Holden, GM's Australian subsidiary, and the body style is a familiar one to Americans as well, itself an evolution of the old Chevy El Camino. The 425-horsepower V8 engine even comes from the Corvette, so it seems like a car that would be perfectly at home here. The only distinctly Australian part of the car is the name, which comes from the Aboriginal word for thunder, but if Pagani can sell a car named Huayra, then Maloo wouldn't really be that exotic. Of course, the name could be changed, and there is some evidence that this might happen. Chevrolet recently renewed their trademark on the name El Camino, and it's suspected that the model will be reintroduced and based heavily on the Holden Commodore Ute, which the Maloo is also based on. Bringing the Maloo over as well and simply naming it the El Camino SS would be an easy thing to do, and this is what we would encourage GM to do. We can't say this about all the cars here, but the Maloo could be one wish on this list that actually comes true.
Alfa Romeo Giulietta
We actually sort of have this in the US already, as the new Dodge Dart is built on the Giulietta's platform. But as attractive as the Dart is, it does not come close to being as pretty as the Alfa version. The Giulietta is probably about as attractive as mainstream cars get, and all of the fun driving dynamics with which the Dart is blessed have been inherited from the Giulietta. The wide variety of engines the Alfa is offered in is also quite attractive. There is a 2.0-liter diesel engine that nets a combined 52 mpg, and although European mileage ratings tend to be a bit more enthusiastic than the EPA's, this is still a very fuel-efficient option. Those wanting a bit more power, as is a frequent complaint with the Dart, can opt for the "Quadrifoglio Verde" or "Cloverleaf" performance version of the car, which comes complete with a 1.75-liter turbocharged engine that produces 232 horsepower. The car has had all manner of awards heaped on it in Europe, and it even has a Euro NCAP five-star safety rating. Uma Thurman is the car's spokesperson in Europe, and we're willing to bet that she can help sell a few cars in her home country as well.
VW Kombi
Yes, there is a second VW on this list, but this time it isn't a European car. The Kombi, as you can probably tell by looking at it, is essentially the old Microbus. A car long ago discontinued in the United States. But Volkswagen has a huge presence in Brazil, which has essentially become the automaker's headquarters in South America. Enough VW cars are built in Brazil, and enough of these are built only in Brazil, that VW is considered a domestic brand there. One such vehicle is the Kombi, which only switched to using a liquid-cooled version of the flat-four engine in the last decade. The classic vehicle still has quite a following here in the U.S., and there are bound to be people who would prefer buying a new one, rather than invest time and money into restoring an old one. Interestingly, the Kombi is actually imported to North America already, and though it's only Mexico that gets it, that is more than we can say for the other cars on this wish list. The downside is that the Kombi won't be around too much longer, as new Brazilian safety regulations will soon be killing it off. That is, unless they find a way to bring it back to the U.S. market.

Four days before an NFL game is not the time for a quarterback to get too introspective in public.
Asked this week if he thought Sunday's game might be his last chance to start an NFL game, Ryan Fitzpatrick was terse:
Fitzpatrick may indeed have more quarterback starts in his future, but he is expected to make his last one for the Buffalo Bills in the season finale against the New York Jets in Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Keeping Fitzpatrick makes little sense from an economic or production standpoint.
The Bills are eager to find a young quarterback for next season, and Fitzpatrick is due to make $7.45 million in 2013. That includes a $3 million bonus he would get in March. It's not an exorbitant salary for a starting quarterback, but it is exorbitant for a quarterback who is 22-41-1 for his career and who would be keeping the starter's seat warm for whichever young QB the Bills draft.
Furthermore, it's hard to imagine the Bills trying to sell the product in 2013 after 3½ unsuccessful seasons with Fitzpatrick at the helm. This season's repeated statements by Bills General Manager Buddy Nix — including "the time is now" to try to trade up to draft a quarterback — provide further indication the Bills are ready to turn the page on Fitzpatrick.
Fitzpatrick's 18-31 record as a Bills starter is hardly all his fault. But the 30-year-old Fitzpatrick realizes accountability falls at the feet of the head coach and quarterback.
"I am not going to sit up here and say we performed the way we wanted to on offense this year because we have not," Fitzpatrick said. "So I think as a quarterback, I have to point the finger at myself. As an offense we point the finger at ourselves in terms of the lack of success we have had this year as a team. You hope the defensive guys do that as well, but for me there is not a whole lot of blame to be passed around. You have to look at yourself first."
Fitzpatrick's average salary of $9.8 million per season ranks 19th in the NFL, according to News figures, and that's right where he stands statistically this season.
He's 19th in passer rating (82.9) and 19th in yards (3,175). He's tied for 11th in touchdowns (23) but tied for fifth in interceptions (16).
It's not Fitzpatrick's fault that the Bills are lacking in quality receiving weapons beyond No. 1 wideout Stevie Johnson. That's a major hindrance to coach Chan Gailey's attack.
But Fitzpatrick has come up short with games on the line. He threw a bad interception late against Tennessee to allow the Titans to come back to win. He threw an interception in the end zone at the end of the loss to New England. (Receiver T.J. Graham ran the wrong route, but Gailey called it a gray-area decision.) Fitzpatrick couldn't make much happen in the second half of competitive games against Houston, Indianapolis and St. Louis.
Fitzpatrick is 5-22 in fourth-quarter comeback situations (in games within eight points).
"The good teams find a way to make those plays on offense, defense or whatever it is," Fitzpatrick said of the close losses. "The good teams are the ones that constantly find themselves making those plays and those have not been the plays that we have made this year. That is why we sit where we are."
Fitzpatrick has cut down his interceptions from last season. He had 23. But he acknowledges that while there are detailed explanations for every interception, his total is too high.
"I think that is a great way to put it, that every interception has its own little story," Fitzpatrick said. "You remember them all vividly and I think last year they were way too high. Cut down a little bit this year, but still there has been some stuff and circumstances and things that I have not made good decisions or good throws."
At his very best, Fitzpatrick has been considerably above average. In his first 16 starts with Gailey, he threw 32 TD passes with 18 interceptions. But he has not been able to maintain that standard.
Johnson said he feels for Fitzpatrick, given the amount of blame that inevitably goes to the QB.
"Definitely, that's my friend, before my quarterback," Johnson said. "So the sympathy thing is there because there's a lot on that position. That's around the league. You win and you're The Man. You lose and everybody's looking at you like it's your fault. I can sympathize with him but I can sympathize with every other quarterback in the league also. It's just the nature of the business."
Fitzpatrick has received $21 million from the six-year, $62 million contract he signed in October 2011.
It will not cost the Bills any more to cut him than to keep him on the team. Actually, they will save almost $500,000, according to figures obtained by The News. If Fitzpatrick gets cut before his March bonus is paid, then he will count $10 million against the Bills' salary cap in 2013. That's a lot, but not so much that he will have to be retained. If Fitzpatrick is on the roster, his cap number for 2013 will be $10.45 million.

We recently interviewed Adrian Marinescu, lead developer on the Windows Kernel team focusing on the Heap Manager and associated technologies. The Heap Manager plays a big role in shaping system performance and security. (Heap mechanisms have been targets
of several security attacks in the past by savvy, highly-skilled hackers.)
Vista promises to provide a heap management infrastructure that will be very hard for expert hackers to exploit and Adrian, the main developer of this system, explains how the heap has been improved in Vista and why it will help make Vista both more performant and secure.
We've had Adrian on before when he worked on the Windows Object Manager.
Don't know what the Windows Heap is? Well, watch and learn.
Oops, something didn't work.

"The new heap infrastructure is more insurant that there won't be any hacking going on"
I live in Denmark and we have a list of proper Danish words, each year the list is evaluated and new words are added, some are even removed. So untill a word is on the list it is not a proper Danish word - even if it is used quite often.
The organisation that does this work is called "Dansk sprognævn" - "Danish Language Councel". I guess it is important for a small language like Danish.
Many of the latest additions to the list of proper Danish words are actually English words that we use as our own. I am pretty sure "performant" is not on the list.
Thanks Klaus Enevoldsen

It's called the english language. It does evolve. No, the dictionaries are not representative of the language. It's the other way around. Soon performat WILL show up in the dictionaries.
Besides, how did "google" become a verb? Same deal. It's to get a point across in an active voice. Plus it's l33t. The last reason should be all that someone needs

It's true what you say about the language evolving, but you have to bear in mind that every new word (and some old ones) has a Coefficient of People Wanting To Punch You In the Face Every Time They Hear You Say It, lets call it Cpunch.
I'd suggest, from someone who is satisfied with the word "fast", that performant has a pretty high Cpunch.

As far as I am aware these are implemented using the Windows API. I'm curious, though, as to how one would implement a heap without using OS provided functionality?
If you are aware of a specific implementation of new/delete that implements it's own heap I would like to take a look at it
As I work in C# these days I have not had to look at the Microsoft C++ runtime libs for a few years so don't know if they now just call into the speed up OS heap functions.
littleguru wrote:Nice video. Finally something new about the kernel... I like the kernel videos... Do you have already planned to do more?
MicroSoft is falling farther behind. A machine of a new design is coming.
A software heap manager is not the answer. High performance Linux is moving to a hardare garbage collected paralell heap. (So applications can't deallocate and allocate faster than the heap is compacted.)
MicroSoft must make the multicore FPGA/ASIC a Vista.v2 feature so that kernel resources for memory and I/O firmware is updated as part of the OS. Learn something from the IBM mainframes so that specialized algorithms are off loaded to FPGA multicores. More than that the technology developed in the xBOX with an FPGA/GPU link to the 10MB eDram (NEC) is not followed up on.
Heap Management and garbage collection is a hardware resource. Google Boyle or pipelined hardware heap garbage collection. Programmable acceleration that is MS developed and specified is the only way to stay ahead on hardware Linux acceleration.
Vista OS-> loads eDram/ FPGA code instead of DLL's for a single core WINTEL machine.
What's deeply disturbing about this is that MicroSoft is "selling" Vista hardware logos. MS owes itself to develop (or reward) the platform makers for windows acceleration of it's OS.
Almost, but not quite. malloc/free or new/delete are C/C++ language specific memory allocation/de-allocation routines. They allow you to create chunks of memory for your own use - untyped blocks in the case of C's malloc or untyped/typed in C++'s new.
Windows itself provides a range of memory allocation routines which are called by various dev platforms etc. to allocate memory on device. This is necessary because in the world of modern OS', running apps do not get complete control over the whole machine and the OS must arbitrate between demands for blocks of memory and the availability of free RAM. When memory is demanded and it's not available, the OS will try to swap read-only data out of memory into a disk-based swap file and allocate some/all of the freed-up RAM to the requesting app.
Why do dev languages implement their own memory management infrastructure? Because asking the OS for memory is not a free operation - it costs time. It's often faster for a dev platform to ask the OS for a chunk of RAM (which can take some time) and then divide this chunk up much more quickly and easily (since it doesn't need to check ACL's, etc) using app-specific algorithms.
This is why memory-management tools like SmartHeap and later versions of VC++ could deliver magnificent perf improvements over the standard C RTL malloc.
In more modern languages and environments such as Java or CLR, memory is Garbage Collected and the app is generally not in control of its memory - that's left up to the execution engine (e.g. JVM/CLR). The execution engine can deliver massive performance benefits for memory allocation compared to simply call the OS' equivalent of Windows' GlobalAlloc() API.
What the CoreOS team at Microsoft have added is some insanely clever technology which will help deliver massive stability improvements by preventing code from executing in areas in which it's not permitted to - regardless of the toolset used to build the code. That's not to say that Vista's MM (Mmemory Manager) is flawless, but the bar for hackers has now been raised significantly.

However, going up the mountain on foot is far more satisfying than simply allowing yourself to be hauled up by the funicular. If you want to walk up from the very bottom, though, you need to be quite fit. There is a difference in altitude of almost 1500 m between Capolago and the summit. Far less strenuous, but all the more enjoyable, is to climb the rest of the way from the Bellavista station to the top.
The starting point for the walk is Capolago station (on the line from Lugano - Chiasso). From there you go up by funicular railway to the Bellavista station. Then a beautiful path leads from Bellavista towards Monte Generoso. With wonderful views of the Valle di Muggio on the way, you reach the top station of the Monte Generoso railway. Then it takes a good 15 minutes more to get to the summit. You walk back down to Bellavista along the same path.

Marc Veasey invites undocumented immigrant to attend State of the Union address
U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey has invited an undocumented immigrant from Texas to attend President Barack Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday.
The undocumented immigrant to attend Obama's speech with Veasey, D-Fort Worth, is Julieta Garibay. The 32-year-old woman moved from Mexico to Austin with her parents when she was 12-years-old.
Garibay is a graduate of the University of Texas, where she received nursing degrees. As a student there she co-founded the University Leadership Initiative, an undocumented youth organization that promotes higher education and civic engagement for immigrants.
Garibay could be the first known undocumented immigrant to attend a State of the Union speech.
"This is a big step for Dreamers and indicative of how far this movement has come," Garibay said. "Congressman Veasey recognizes that and has always supported the cause."
Veasey office did not comment on the invitation.
A founding board member of the United We DREAM Network, Garibay has emerged as one of the most prominent voices of the movement to bring young undocumented immigrants out of the shadows.
"There's a lot of momentum for immigration reform and we're ready to be at the forefront," she said.
President Obama has called on Congress to overhaul the nation's immigration system and pass legislation that provides illegal immigrants like Garibay with a path to citizenship.

LOCKPORT – A Lockport drug dealer, who re-entered the cocaine business after losing his job in 2010, was sentenced to two years in state prison Friday.
Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas imposed the sentence on Eddie A. James, 40, of East Avenue, who had pleaded guilty to attempted fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and fifth-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance.
Assistant Public Defender Michael E. Benedict said James, who served federal prison time after a 1993 cocaine conviction, had been doing well from 1997 to 2010, when he lost his job. "He took this wrong path of selling drugs," Benedict said.
He had about one-quarter ounce of cocaine when he was arrested Nov. 5, 2011, after trying to force his way into an apartment on Saxton Street in Lockport. James also sold crack cocaine in Lockport Nov. 29.

All farms should develop an annual udder health plan to measure and monitor its milk quality goals.
by Amanda Smith, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
"On farm we deal with a lot of data and this information often has questionable validity," noted Pamela Ruegg with the University of Wisconsin Milk Quality Group. She continued, "There is no individual farm practice that is independently related to milk quality; making improvements in this area requires consistent adoption of best management practices."
A key component to Ruegg's discussion at the Minnesota Dairy Health Conference centered around the role veterinarians play in subclinical mastitis monitoring in their client's herds.
By and large, subclinical mastitis is tracked by monitoring somatic cell count (SCC). Generally all cows with SCC values above 200,000 cells/mL are considered to have subclinical mastitis. For first lactation cattle, this benchmark is way too high, added Ruegg. Heifers should have a somatic cell count less than 100,000 cells/mL.
Assessments of subclinical mastitis, Ruegg noted, should begin with the following six questions:
- What is the prevalence of subclinical mastitis (defined based on SCC)?
- What is the incidence of subclinical mastitis (defined based on SCC)?
- What are the most common bacteria recovered from cows with SCC values >200,00 cells/mL?
- What proportion of subclinical cases are chronic (persist more than two months)?
- What is the prevalence of subclinical mastitis by days in milk and parity?
- What proportion of cows have subclinical mastitis at the first test and last test?
Common key performance indicators from subclinical mastitis are:
- 85 percent of cows with somatic cell counts less than or equal to 200,000 (prevalence)
- Less than 5 percent of cows developing new subclinical mastitis infection per month (incidence)
Ruegg added that data to answer these questions can often be found in summarized reports available from DHIA or dairy management programs. These trends may be easier to decipher in larger herds due to a larger volume of records. Practitioners working with small herds generally need to review data found in paper treatment logs and will need to include data collected over longer time periods (3 to 4 month periods) to discern trends.
"Each farm needs an annual udder health plan," concluded Ruegg. Such a plan covers the farm's milk quality goals, the actions needed and timeline required to achieve them and assigning responsibility to individual employees. The final step in a comprehensive udder health plan is to hold regular meetings and monitor progress.
The author is an associate editor and an animal science graduate of Cornell University. Smith covers feeding, milk quality and heads up the World Dairy Expo Supplement. She grew up on a Medina, N.Y., dairy, and interned at a 1,700-cow western New York dairy, a large New York calf and heifer farm, and studied in New Zealand for one semester.

The federal government's offer of leniency to Timothy Wanamaker, the former City Hall official who admitted stealing government money, prompted the judge in the case to raise questions today about the legitimacy of the offer.
"I'm trying to determine if it's warranted at all," U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara said Tuesday during the scheduled sentencing of Wanamaker. "You're talking about a very serious case here."
In the end, Arcara delayed the sentencing to next month so the prosecution has time to answer his questions.
Arcara, who at times became animated in questioning the federal prosecutor in the case, wondered aloud if the offer of leniency was justified given the information Wanamaker provided to federal agents. If the offer of leniency remains, Wanamaker would face up to six months, not 12 months, in prison. He also would be eligible for probation.
Wanamaker, who led the city's economic development efforts for five years, admitted using a City Hall credit card to charge about $30,000 in personal expenses over a four-year period. He ended up pleading guilty to a felony charge of stealing government funds.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Campana said the government's decision to offer leniency to Wanamaker, 48, is rooted in his cooperation regarding an investigation into Buffalo's use of federal funds.
He told the judge that the information Wanamaker provided federal agents led to substantial changes in how Buffalo and other cities across the country handle funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
"On account of this case, it is now more difficult for this type of thing to happen, not only in Buffalo but across the country," Campana said.
James Harrington, Wanamaker's defense lawyer, echoed that sentiment.
"If they're making changes across the country, perhaps we did have a national impact." Harrington told reporters.
Wanamaker's conviction stems from his use of a BERC credit card to pay for hotel, rental car and other travel expenses unrelated to city business.

Political campaigning has degenerated into sound bites & insinuations. Supposedly this approach evolved from apathy & the voters' lack of an attention span to dig into the issues. Have you tried to "pin down" your state or federal representatives for their position on an issue important to you?
What are the odds of turning the tables a bit? Suppose we try to create a demand for candidate position statements/papers on the issues. I'm sure our local newspapers would welcome the opportunity to publish such statements. Could we get folks to vote for a candidate, instead of the most suggestive ads? Why don't we try?
Hey Abraham, ready for a challenge?? As for the rest of you. "Challenge the status quo." What difference has the candidate you voted for made in any significant legislation??

Evotec is partnering with the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) to identify compounds that prevent or slow down the loss of motor neurons, which is characteristic of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The collaboration, dubbed "CureMN" (CureMotorNeuron) aims to leverage human motor neuron assays based on ALS patient-derived induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells as well as Evotec's drug discovery infrastructure and expertise to identify compounds that will have therapeutic value against the disease that Lou Gehrig made famous.
The iPS cells in question were developed by Lee Rubin, Ph.D., HSCI principal faculty member and professor in the department of stem cell and regenerative biology at Harvard, and Kevin Eggan, Ph.D., early career scientist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, HSCI principal faculty member, and professor in the department of stem cell and regenerative biology at Harvard.
"Kevin and Lee have made significant contributions to our understanding of the underlying pathology of motor neuron diseases," said Cord Dohrmann, Ph.D., CSO of Evotec, in a statement. "Their laboratories have developed a large array of ALS patient-derived motor neuron models that allow screening of diseased human cells in culture—an approach that is sometimes referred to as a 'clinical trial in a dish'. Our intention is to systematically screen for new mechanisms, targets, and compounds that have the potential to be developed into new products that will modify and ideally halt the progression of ALS and potentially other motor neuron diseases."
This agreement marks the third collaboration between Evotec and Harvard Stem Cell Institute scientists, and the fourth with Harvard scientists. Back in March of 2011, Evotec and Harvard forged a beta cell regeneration alliance dubbed CureBeta, and in January of 2012 they started the CureNephron project with Brigham and Women's Hospital aimed at discovering and developing biomarkers and treatments for kidney disease. Also, in May of this year, Evotec and Harvard teamed up to discover and develop novel antibacterial agents based on a target family involved in bacterial cell wall biosynthesis that reportedly are highly validated.

Kiko Alonso can stop sprinting for a little while, now that the Buffalo Bills' spring practices are over.
Alonso, the rookie linebacker from the University of Oregon, has been the Bills' man in perpetual motion the past month.
At every turn of the head, Alonso was sprinting into the flat to cover a running back, chasing sideline to sideline or running in stride down the sideline with C.J. Spiller. He got a ton of snaps, and it was obvious the Bills' coaches put Alonso on a crash course to prepare for a starting inside linebacker job.
Physically, at least, he looked up to the challenge, which was one of the main developments of the Bills' 13 practices over the past month.
"I love playing football, so it's great getting a lot of snaps," said Alonso, after Thursday's final minicamp workout. "It's pretty similar to Oregon, where we always ran up-tempo, and it's the same thing we do here."
"I think Kiko has done an outstanding job, he really has," said Bills coach Doug Marrone. "There's been a little bit of ups and downs, but that's not a knock on him. That is what happens with young players. I'm extremely excited to see him perform when the pads come on."
The Bills' practices featured a lot of no-huddle offense. Plays were run at a much faster pace than in the past.
"We've reached our goal as far as teaching the players what our tempo is, how we want to practice," Marrone said.
Marrone also said he's happy with the buy-in he received.
"Our goal was to make sure that we build and earn that trust, and in turn, they go ahead and do that to us," he said. "Really building a relationship, making sure that we're all part of one team, was important, that there wasn't any separation. I think we're able to do that."
Here are other observations from the four weeks of spring sessions:
• The aggressive defense is ahead of the offense. The Bills' defense blitzed the least amount in the league last year. Those days are over. The defense sent a myriad of rushes at the quarterbacks.
• Left guard is wide open. Colin Brown, a 6-foot-7, 326-pounder who missed much of last season with a torn hamstring, worked as the starter. Newly signed Doug Legursky, who has more credentials (17 career starts) but a much smaller frame, got some snaps with the starters this week.
• Right tackle likely will be a battle. Incumbent starter Erik Pears, who missed half of last season, was back only part-time the past month. Chris Hairston, who has started 15 games the past two years, figures to push him hard. Hairston sat out most of the spring due to injury. Both are expected to be ready for camp.
• Edge rush jobs are open. Mark Anderson, who needed two surgeries to repair a knee injury that kept him out 11 games last season, was not able to work in team drills. He did individual drills. That gave younger players plenty of snaps.
Jerry Hughes, acquired in the deal that sent Kelvin Sheppard to Indianapolis, looked very quick off the edge. Jamie Blatnick, on Denver's practice squad last year, and Marcus Dowtin, an undersized former Jet who plays multiple positions, are in the backup mix.
• The first-team defense has yet to assemble. Defensive tackle Kyle Williams is rehabilitating from heel surgery. Cornerback Leodis McKelvin did individual drills, no team drills. Strong-side linebacker Manny Lawson worked with the second team this week. Safety Jairus Byrd has not signed his franchise-tag offer.
• The receiving corps is very young but talented. Robert Woods, the second-round pick, looked promising, as advertised. T.J. Graham and Marquise Goodwin are blazing fast. Both are smart, too. Da'Rick Rogers is physical and sneaky fast. Fourth-year man Marcus Easley was out with injury most of the spring.
• Rookie safety Duke Williams, the fourth-round pick from Nevada, got some snaps with the starters at free safety Wednesday. Thursday he showed his versatility, working at cornerback. Aaron Williams got most of the starting work in place of Byrd. Williams had an interception all three days this week. Undrafted rookie Nickell Robey of Southern California looked aggressive and confident.
• Rookie kicker Dustin Hopkins, a seventh-round pick, has a stronger leg than last year's rookie kicker, John Potter. So far, Hopkins didn't appear as accurate on field goals as Rian Lindell.
• Much more will be learned about the team when it actually practices in pads in the summer. The Bills are off for six weeks. The first training camp practice is July 28.
"I do think that when it comes on and the pads come on and we start playing preseason, I think that's where people start separating themselves," Marrone said. "And that's where the players have to understand that's where we're looking for them to make something happen, to make plays. You see it around here a lot – don't confuse effort with results. Everyone's trying hard and everyone is doing that, but at the end of the day it's about making the plays."
