This review is from: Logitech MK550 K920-002555X Black USB RF Wireless Wave Combo (K350 + M510)
Pros: Nice ergonomic design. Easy setup. Price was good.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: Got this setup after my brother came into town and showed me his. I knew right off that I had to have one and checked newegg and ran across a refurbished setup for around $30. For that price it was a no brainer. Read some negative reviews about buying this refurbished, but I am more than happy with the one I received.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ASUS VN248H-P Slim Bezel Black 23.8" 5ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor IPS 80,000,000:1, Built-in Speakers
Pros: Perfect size for what I need, no dead pixels and it's an AS
Cons: Placement of buttons to tweak the monitor. They are on the backside of the monitor not in the front where I would prefer. Not a deal breaker and definitely not worth taking an egg off for it.
Other Thoughts: other than the button placement I love this monitor! ASUS has always stood up well for me and this just adds to my love for the products they offer. Screen size is about as big as I wanted to go and this thing looks really big!READ FULL REVIEW

That's down almost 7 percent from last year.
"A tight inventory has plagued Santa Clarita for months," said Andrew Walter, president of the Southland Regional Association of Realtor's Santa Clarita Valley Division.
At the current sales pace, inventory represents a four-month supply, the report stated. A four- or five-month supply represents a balanced market; a year ago, the supply fell within that range.
Slowing the market are the high percentage of short sales and the delays in getting approvals from lenders, association officials said. A short sale is when the sale price of the home is less than the amount owed to the bank on the home.
"Even though some of the major banks are finally developing a fast-track system, the extended timeframe to successfully negotiate a short sale is seriously affecting average escrow periods," Walter said.
Lenders take more than 90 days to decide on a short sale. Usually, lenders take between 30 and 45 days to close escrow, Walter said.
Another factor stalling home sales was the first-time home buyer tax credit, which was set to expire in November but was then extended.
By the time the federal government announced it was extending the deadline to April 30, some buyers had already left the market and are only recently starting to jump back in, Walter said.
January's median home price was $399,900, up 1 percent from a year ago but down 4.2 percent from December.

PlayStation 4 pre-orders surged following Sony's E3 press conference, SCEE UK & Ireland MD Fergal Gara has told VideoGamer.com.
Discussing the reaction to Sony's conference with us this morning, which confirmed that PS4 would launch in the UK in time for Christmas, Gara said that "the most important thing is that we're out sufficiently in advance of Christmas to allow us to deliver considerable sales.
"Something we take great encouragement in this morning is that we saw a real surge in pre-orders overnight, which is another metric that the news went down well."
Gara chose not to confirm whether Sony intends to release PS4 before Microsoft's Xbox One goes on sale this November, however.
"Selling consoles - just like selling many anticipated pieces of technology - isn't all about sales that happen post day one or on day one, there's an awful lot that goes on prior to day one," he continued. "So the fact that we can say we will be available prior to Christmas, the gifting period etc. is a great piece of news for the UK and Europe."
PlayStation 4 is set to launch worldwide later this year for £349.

1 Corinthians 3:10-11, 16-23
The Christian Seasons Calendar that hangs on my wall is open in this season after Epiphany to a painting by Kirsten Malcolm Berry titled "I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth" (1 Cor. 3:6). Fault lines are showing in First Church Corinth over which minister is to be credited with success and which one is to be labelled a failure. Paul keeps the focus on God. Once again the little church in Corinth pre-figures so many of our congregational stories.
Leviticus 19:1–2, 9–18; 1 Corinthians 3:10–11, 16-23; Matthew 5:38–48
My earliest memories of worship are of singing: "Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty!" I didn't know what the word holy meant, but I knew that it was associated with God. "Only thou art holy, merciful and mighty." God and only God was holy.
Deuteronomy 30:15-20; Matthew 5:21-37
This is not a Sunday for soft-pedalling the gospel. Moses and Jesus
portray the life of faith as a "yes" or a "no" to God with lives that
obey or that disobey. It is little wonder that it is common to summarize
Jesus' teachings in the Sermon on the Mount with one verse, the "Golden
Rule" (Matthew 7:12).
Deuteronomy 30:15–20
Although I was raised in a preacher's household and have been a preacher myself for three decades, my own conversion happened gradually. I didn't even realize what I was going through until one of my parishioners told me that the congregation had been watching my conversion one Sunday, one sermon at a time.
Psalm 23
A folk-singing friend taught me that if I could link a sermon to a
song, listeners would remember the song, and thus be more likely to
remember the sermon. Music resides in a part of the brain that is
resistant to amnesia, he said.
Exodus 17:1-7; Psalm 95; Romans 5:1-11; John 4:5-42
The texts speak of thirst for life. The people thirst for water in
the wilderness. The Samaritan woman at the well meets the One who gives
the water of eternal life. Paul speaks of God's love being "poured into
our hearts through the Holy Spirit."
Genesis 12:1-4a; Psalm 121; Romans 4:1-5, 13-17; John 3:1-17
Reading the assigned texts for this week overwhelms me. The call of
Abram is told like a Haiku—just a few words, yet the mystery of our
life as God's people hinges on this ancient call and response. After
the spare text in Genesis, the passages in Romans and John read like
dense thickets of complicated sentences and layered metaphors.
Genesis 2:15-17 & 3:1-7, Psalm 32, Romans 5:12-19, Matthew 4:1-11
Lent's 40 days of preparation for baptism and discipleship are
modeled on Jesus' postbaptismal test in the wilderness. Reading about
Jesus' struggle with the devil opens up some potential directions for
the preacher's journey to Sunday:
Exodus 24:12-18; Psalm 2 or Psalm 99; 2 Peter 1:16-21; Matthew 17:1-9
Transfiguration Sunday is the highpoint between Epiphany, when the
mystery is suddenly transparent, and the resurrection, when the
ultimate epiphany breaks through what we had imagined was the full stop
of death. Last year on Transfiguration Sunday our congregation hosted
the Rivercity Gospel Jazz band.
Matthew 4:12-23
We expect Jesus to emerge from John's shadow in a public way, to take
on the establishment and lead the charge for God's reign. Instead, when
John is arrested Jesus withdraws (Matt. 4:12). He slips away to the
margins, to the territory of Zebulun and Napthali, off the radar of
popular consciousness.

"Being a good boss means listening, understanding your employee, what they need, what they have to offer."
-- Jeff Laing, 90, who established Laing's TV in 1951
Long before there was a National Boss's Day, in a simpler time when area commerce and its surrounds barely resembled the landscape of today, a couple of local entrepreneurs were launching businesses that have spanned decades.
George Laure, 96, comes into his office promptly at 8:30 and works eight hours a day, five days a week. He founded W-L Molding Co. in 1943 and today he still sits in his oversized leather chair, running the show.
Jeff Laing, 90, established Laing's TV in 1951, speaks of a day when gas was 18 cents a gallon and he went out on house calls for $3.50.
"Doctors were doing house calls for $4," he said. "I couldn't very well charge the same amount as a doctor."
Televisions were becoming more common in American homes, but they were not without bugs.
"If I didn't have anything going on in the shop, "I'd go knocking on doors of homes that had antennas," he said. "If the tubes were out, I'd fix them on the spot."
Laing has gradually turned the day-to-day operations of the Kalamazoo shop over to his son, Dan, but he drives himself to work every day. If you call at the right time, you might hear the elder Laing answer the phone with the same greeting he's used for 47 years: "Hello, Laing's. This is Jeff."
He celebrates twice this week: his 90th birthday on Monday and Boss's Day today. The holiday was registered in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 1958 before being proclaimed by Illinois Gov. Otto Kerner in his state four years later.
There wasn't much attention paid to Boss's Day until Hallmark, the unofficial creator of secular holidays, produced a line of Boss's Day cards in 1997.
Today's recognition doesn't mean much to either of Laure or Laing, but each of them knows what it takes to have success at the helm.
"Being a good boss means listening, understanding your employees, what they need, what they have to offer," Laing said. "Of course, the boss is in charge, but the people who work for him do a lot of dealing with customers.
"And a happy customer will make you happy."
Across town, a short jaunt from Kalamazoo to Portage, Laure relishes good health that allows him to do the thing he loves. His quality engineer, Connie MacDonald, also serves as his driver, picking him up every morning promptly at 8:20.
"He's a great boss, a wonderful man," MacDonald said. "He serves as a father figure to me, to so many of us. We are fortunate he has decided to work as long as he has."
Laure's assistant for 25 years, Geneva Packard, said her "boss's consistency with everyone, his integrity," are among his strongest qualities.
Laure is consistent, all right. He hasn't missed a Rotary Club luncheon in 47 years. His involvement in area commerce comes because his job has never seemed like labor to him.
"I love doing business," said Laure, who graduated from Notre Dame in 1938 with a degree in chemical engineering. His Portage company molds plastic for clients, and he says W-L has products "all over the world."
"I've always been interested in plastics, and I'm just as interested today as I've always been," he said. "As long as I'm healthy, I can't think of a reason to stop."

During Atlanta's HIGH Museum Wine Auction, a wild cast of characters from the wine world descended on the ATL for a celebration of Wine, Art, Food, and most importantly, to drop by Dirty South Wine HQ to get the pulse of the Dirty DIrty.
Jeff Bundschu, president of Sonoma's Gundlach Bundschu Winery, stopped in at Chez Dirty for a quick interview.
We talked about the Gundlach Bundschu estate, sustainability, big wines, and whatever else came to mind.
In the end, Jeff got so caught up in the moment, he donned the wresting mask and started tearing the joint up!!!! (the power of the mask is strong!)

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
The Food and Drug Administration, considered to be the most trusted federal agency, is under attack for trying to do what it does bestprotect the publics health by approving therapeutics that are both safe and effective.
Unlike the generic drug scandal at the end of the 1980s, the latest attacks challenge the FDAs credibility as a regulatory agency. They include a hesitancy to take action over cardiac risks of COX-2 inhibitor pain-killers like Vioxx, Celebrex, and Bextra, and a delay in identifying possible suicide risks for teenagers taking antidepressants such as Zoloft, Paxil, and Prozac.
The pressure has led the FDA to propose a new oversight and openness group within the Office of Drug Safety, a subunit of the Office of New Drugs. Together with concerns about the 2002 renewal of the 1992 Prescription Drug User Fee Act, this combination has led some critics, most notably Iowa Senator Charles Grassley, to label the FDA as simply too cozy with drugmakers. These critics suggest that the Office of Drug Safety should be an independent body.
I strongly disagree with Senator Grassley and believe, based on more than 20 years in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology field, that the FDA is prudent in its regulatory decisions, which are based on a strategy that science and safety, not politics, drive its decisions.
That is why I believe the Office of Drug Safety, with its new Drug Safety Oversight Board, should remain within the FDA. It would be comprised of FDA officials and medical experts from other federal agencies with outside medical experts and consumer representatives serving as consultants.
Who else is better at understanding both drug safety and efficacy issues?
The new oversight board can also respond to critics who claim that the current Office of Drug Safety is unlikely to get officials who approve therapeutics to admit that they might have made a mistake in approving a product.
The proposed board, and other possible FDA reforms, will be debated at IBCs Drug Discovery Technology and Development World Congress, to be held August 811, in Boston, featuring Acting FDA Commissioner Lester Crawford.
The FDA is taking the appropriate internal steps starting with the newly proposed independent oversight board, which will oversee the management of drug safety issues and provide emerging information about the benefits and safety risks of approved medicines to health providers and patients.
The board will resolve disagreements over approaches to drug safety issues and oversee the implementation of drug safety policies. The safety initiative will also include a Drug Watch website to find emerging information about possible serious side effects for approved drugs.
But separating safety from efficacy, a goal of some FDA critics, is not the answer. Regulatory decisions and communications need to be based on sound science and reflect sound judgments of both benefit and risk. Moreover, risk-benefit analyses need to be integrated with the drug safety functiona rather different conclusion than the shrill assertions by some members in Congress who say that safety and review functions must be distinct and separate.
Of course, outsiders who read newspaper headlines may easily conclude that since a regulator and an industry depend on each other, they have to be close. Some observers may scratch their collective heads over how an FDA advisory panel unanimously concluded that Celebrex and its COX-2 inhibitor cousins, Bextra and Vioxx, significantly raised the risk of heart attack and stroke and yet recommended that the drugs still be sold.
They may also wonder about the agencys ability to handle the increased suicidal risks among teenagers who take antidepressants, following concerns that several other drugs were dangerous as labeled.
But a closer look reveals that the FDA, widely respected as a cautious and conservative body, has been making organizational progress in drug safety reforms. Its drug review process remains a worldwide gold standard. In response to advances in medical science, the FDA approves drugs after they are studied in many more patients and have undergone more detailed safety evaluation than ever before.
And the FDA has a keen understanding of the risk-versus-reward or risk-versus-benefit equation for approving drugs. Last year, FDA advisory committees were fairly conservative and turned down 6 of the 10 new drugs or indications brought to them for approval. Moreover, only 20% of the new drugs approved in 2004 received advisory committee reviewsa figure that disproves the FDA is in bed with the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
However, no amount of study before marketing will ever reveal all the information about effectiveness or all the risks of a new drug once it is widely available.
Adverse effects not seen during clinical trials are identified after approval through post-marketing clinical trials along with observational studies on more widespread use of approved products.
These processes, which traditionally rely on drug companies and physicians to report issues of drug safety, are also a key reason why there is a severe shortage of data and will change for the better under the FDAs proposed expanded Office of Drug Safety.
Still, the issue of how to detect and limit adverse reactions will be challenging. Weighing the impact of these side effects against the benefits of the therapeutics for individual patients and the public health is a complex question that requires a better understanding of both public health and scientific issues.
No doubt the COX-2 experience will leave a lasting mark on the agency and make it more cautious about approving chronic treatments and imposing extensive post-marketing surveillance requirements on chronic drugs. We can expect the FDA to be far more active in communicating emerging safety signs to the public and to maintain high drug review standards.
This transparency should rectify concerns that the FDA is too close to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries and instead shine a spotlight on how the nations premier regulatory agency is working harder to protect the public it serves.

This article is a collaboration between MedPage Today® and:
HONOLULU -- A substudy of the IMS-III trial has quantitatively shown for the first time that delays in endovascular therapy for ischemic stroke are linearly correlated with worse outcomes.
For every 30-minute delay in breaking up the blood clot, there was a 10% decrease in the probability of a good outcome (RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.82 to 0.99, P=0.02), reported Pooja Khatri, MD, MSc, director of acute stroke and associate professor of neurology at the University of Cincinnati in Ohio, and colleagues.
This risk of worse outcomes occurred regardless of variables such as procedural time, stroke severity, age, sex, systolic blood pressure, glucose, disability prior to stroke, and CT imaging results before treatment, they reported here at the International Stroke Conference (ISC).
When the data were not adjusted for these variables, the relative reduction in the probability of good clinical outcome for every 30-minute delay in reperfusion was 14% (RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.78 to 0.95, P=0.0045).
"This is a more definitive, larger sample size than previous data showing the earlier we treat to recanalize vessels, the better the outcome," Ralph Sacco, chair of neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, commented to MedPage Today.
"The mean time for recanalization was about 5.5 hours. If we back it up, for every 30 minutes, you get a 10% better improvement. So, if you could recanalize at 1 or 2 hours after stroke, you could have a really remarkable improvement; at least that's what's calculated by Dr. Khatri's findings in the IMS-III trial," said Sacco, a past president of the American Heart Association.
The current data to support "time is brain" come from studies involving standard stroke thrombolysis treatment with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), the only FDA-approved agent for emergency stroke treatment. It must be given within 4.5 hours of symptom onset, but the earlier the better.
Pooled data from major trials testing IV tPA showed the best outcomes occur when therapy is delivered within 60 minutes of symptom onset, with patient status gradually decreasing with every passing minute.
Breaking up a clot with systemic tPA generally takes longer than with endovascular therapy, where drugs and/or devices are applied directly onto the clot via a catheter snaked up to the brain from the femoral artery.
Endovascular treatment is usually employed after the 4.5-hour time window for IV tPA has elapsed, or for larger or more stubborn clots that don't dissolve with other treatments.
"So, how does the time window established for IV tPA apply to endovascular therapy in which recanalization is likely faster?" Khatri asked during her presentation.
In the two Interventional Management of Stroke (IMS) pilot trials, she and colleagues showed a linear correlation of time to reperfusion with outcomes.
To validate those preliminary findings, the researchers analyzed a subset of data from the IMS-III trial, whose results were reported earlier here at the ISC. This trial was not positive and was prematurely stopped, because it didn't demonstrate a superior clinical edge for the combination of intra-arterial therapy plus IV tPA, compared with IV tPA alone.
IMS-III was one of several trials presented at this ICS meeting, including SYNTHESIS Expansion and MR RESCUE, that disappointed attendees who were looking for an endovascular approach that would not only break the time barrier but do so while producing better outcomes than systemic IV tPA.
The hypothesis of the present study was that good clinical outcomes (modified Rankin score 0 to 2) were associated with decreased time to successful angiographic reperfusion.
The main trial enrolled 652 patients before it was stopped. For the substudy, the investigators examined data on 240 patients who received the combination therapy. Occlusions included at ICAT, M1, and M2.
At baseline, the mean age was 66, median NIHSS 18, and 15% of patients had an ASPECTS (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score) of 0 to 4.
A total of 76% of patients achieved TICI 2a-3 reperfusion, 6.6% had spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, and 12% died. Of those who survived, 40% had a modified Rankin score of 0 to 2 at 90 days.
The mean time from symptom onset to procedure end or reperfusion was 325 minutes (range 180-418 minutes). Mean time points along the therapeutic continuum were:
- Time from onset to IV start -- 121 minutes
- Time from IV start to groin puncture -- 81 minutes
- Time from groin puncture to intra-arterial therapy start -- 42 minutes
- Time from intra-arterial therapy start to end -- 81 minutes
Sacco noted that a few ways to decrease time to recanalization included better coordinated efforts among systems of care, better educational efforts for the public to act fast at the first sign of stroke, and more certified comprehensive stroke centers.
He also pointed to an emerging trend of attempting to start drug therapy in stroke patients while in the ambulance. The large FAST MAG trial, for example, is using the neuroprotective magnesium in a randomized trial design, by infusing patients with it on the way to the emergency department.
"Talk about coordination! You have to coordinate with your local investigator, make sure it's a stroke, and then infuse the neuroprotective, in this case, magnesium versus placebo, before they get to the emergency room," Sacco said.
"It's a very exciting paradigm and could be a total shift in the way we approach stroke," he concluded.
Khatri reported receiving research support from Penumbra, Genentech, Lake Biosciences, and Jannsen Pharmaceuticals. Other co-authors reported links with Genentech, Schering-Plough, Covidien, CoAxia, Stryker, and Brainsgate.

We were looking for lovely cloaks for our new Homecoming King and Queen for the 2013-2014 school year. While the cost for this item was reasonable, the item itself was just so-so. The quality of the fabric and the pieces just seem a little off. It's not awful or anything and it arrived in fine condition, I guess it just wasn't as nice as we were hoping, especially considering the great quality of other items we have ordered in past years. Our Homecoming King and Queen were happy to receive them, but they could have been better.

Published Sept. 2, 2008.
As we near the peak of election season, the debate over energy hasn't lessened. Some candidates favor domestic oil exploration; others hype the sun and wind as the more desirable sources.
While neither is an instant relief from dependence on foreign energy sources -- primarily petroleum -- I believe that securing crude oil domestically is likely to be more costly and to require significantly more time than would further development of solar and wind energy, particularly wind energy.
We're not talking here about the kind of wind generated by politics -- although I was mildly amused to note that Colorado is boasting about its industries having exceeded the requirement that 10 percent of the state's electricity come from renewable fuels. Colorado Governor Bill Ritter says wind capacity in his state has quadrupled in the past 18 months. That was on record even before the major party political conventions started.
Here in Michigan, it appears energy-independence efforts are concentrated more on liquid fuels than on electricity for energy. We seem to be more focused on salvaging the automobile industry as we have known it, if we can just get past this gasoline-pricing problem. Given what the auto industry has been for us, I guess that's understandable, but if the electric car is to become a reality -- and the Chevrolet folks seem to think it can be -- electricity-generating capacity without involving fossil fuels has some attraction.
There are some folks in Michigan working on harnessing wind power to provide electricity. Michigan State University's Extension Service and the state Department of Labor and Economic Development have a thing going, for example. The federal Department of Energy has identified Michigan as lagging far behind other Midwestern states in exploring this renewable resource. If you check around, about the only significant effort you're likely to see will be in Huron County, way up and over in the tip of the Thumb, and that didn't happen until last year, when 32 wind generators, capable of producing almost 53 megawatts, were installed at the Harvest Wind Farm, near Pigeon. Other much smaller installations have for some time been operating in the Traverse City area and near Mackinaw City.
In contemplating nonpetroleum fuels for trucks and automobiles, we do need to keep in mind that the primary goal is independence from foreign petroleum sources, and that ethanol is not likely to ultimately be cheaper at the pump than gasoline. As we struggle to get our heads around the notion of wind farms sprouting dozens, maybe hundreds of spinning propellers, we also need to keep in mind that wind -- and solar -- energy provide potentially significant relief from carbon dioxide and other unhealthful emissions.

Charlene Ellis and Letisha Shakespeare were innocent bystanders when a gangland feud exploded in the midst of New Year celebrations. Standing outside a party, their brief lives ended in a hail of machinegun bullets.
On the tenth anniversary of the murders, which helped to galvanise politicians and police into tackling Britain's gun culture, the teenagers' mothers have spoken of their pain and their commitment to a campaign to deter youngsters from involvement in gangs and guns.
Marcia Shakespeare and Beverley Thomas hope their work will ensure that the deaths of their daughters leave a positive legacy.

Almost five years ago I wrote my first blog post for Inside Higher Ed. At the time I had a daughter about to graduate from high school, and a son just finishing elementary school. While my child care needs were vastly different from those of my colleagues with children in pre-school, still in many ways I planned my days and my semesters around my children's schedules. In that first post, I noted the many things I no longer needed as an academic parent—"a lactation room, on-site daycare, or reduced work hours to be with an infant . . .. a referral to a good nanny, or a preschool that's open in the summer, or help installing a carseat."

The last few weeks of the semester have a feeling of both desperation and joy about them. Joy comes for me at the approach of spring—the cherry tree outside my office window just bloomed, so I know it's really here now. But there's desperation at the amount of work that remains to be done. My students are tired. Some are sick—I have received emails from the hospital emergency room, the doctor's office, the dorm room, requesting extra time for papers due to illness or explaining an absence from class. Some are just experiencing the normal stresses of the end of the semester—the realization that, yes, all those papers really are due all at once, and the reading really does need to be done before class.

During childbirth, the most painful stage of labor is known as transition. As one website puts it, "this is a physically demanding and draining time and you may feel exhausted, frustrated, impatient, and overwhelmed." Transition comes just before the baby is born, but it can go on for a while and in the moment it often feels more painful than productive.

Last month I made the last payment on my daughter's college tuition. She'll graduate, debt-free, in two months (knock wood). And last week, to make me feel even older, my son got his learner's permit. When his sister got hers, he was still in elementary school and I had a lot less grey in my hair. (Not that I'm making any claims about cause and effect — she's a terrific driver.)

Twice a week for the last month or so I have driven to an anonymous looking glass and brick building. Automatic doors slide open to admit me and I mount the stairs to a large open space filled with machines, tables, and various exercise implements. It's not a regular gym; I'm here for physical therapy. After some months of mysterious, on-again, off-again (mostly on-again) pain in my left arm and shoulder, I received a diagnosis of "frozen shoulder" and a prescription for a course of physical therapy, so I now join athletes, post-operative patients, and a number of other folks who look a lot like me as we go through our various paces, trying to rehabilitate shoulders, knees, and ankles.

If the liberal arts college really is Downton Abbey, as I somewhat facetiously suggested last week, then I think we're in trouble. It's been clear all season that despite paying some lip service to progressivism, the series' ideological commitments are conservative: the preservation of the stately manor is the pre-eminent goal of the family and of the story.

This semester I find myself engaged in a television serial for the first time in a long time, and I think it's no accident that it's the same semester that I'm teaching Victorian literature again for the first time in a long time. The pleasures of the serial are well established, and the Victorian novel originated many of them: the multi-strand narrative with many characters, intertwining narratives of class mobility and courtship, love, death, and striving.

Last week a document circulated among some of my far-flung colleagues — maybe some of you saw it? Titled "Learning Outcomes are Corrosive," by Frank Furedi, it was linked approvingly by folks in the humanities, many of them friends of mine. Its final sentence may be the one I most resonate with, as it expresses the kind of optimistic idealism about humanistic education that I think many of us share: "students should be treated as grown-ups who can be allowed to embark on a journey of discovery instead of directed to a predetermined destination."

I'm writing this on Inauguration Day. Although I missed hearing the speech live, I did catch a stream of it a little later on, and I was struck by how, in a relatively short speech, the President managed to remind us of the needs of those who have too often been left out of "we, the people" — women who do not earn equal pay, homosexuals who do not enjoy equal rights, immigrants who are not afforded equal protection. It was a liberal speech in the best sense of the word, a speech open to possibility and progress, and while I could, as always, wish it had gone farther, I was glad I had a chance to read and hear it.

It's the first day of my new semester, and as always I am scrambling just a bit. Two syllabi done, one almost so. And I put my daughter on the plane this morning to return for her last semester of college. While college is cyclical for me, it's linear for her, which is tough for me to grasp after all these years. Looking over her commencement weekend schedule during the break, she commented, "There's always been more school. It's weird to think there won't be."

Sliding into a horizontal split, side split or Monkey pose -- as the yogis call it -- takes an extreme amount of flexibility. Still, any variation of this pose opens the hips, allows for grounding of the pelvic floor and releases tension in the lower back. But before tackling a pose that pulls your body in two, you must first ignore any intimidating thoughts. Stacey Rosenberg, a certified Anusara Yoga teacher explains, "...you shift your energy and attention away from the external world and go inside yourself. You deepen your breath, soften your mind..." With a relaxed psyche, you can then begin the steps necessary to loosen your body, coming closer to the form.
Monkey Pose Prep
Step 1
Sit cross-legged on your mat and firmly root your sitz bones into the floor. Breathe deeply for three to four rounds, while setting an intention for your practice.
Step 2
Stand in the middle of the mat, facing one end, with your feet hip-width apart. Inhale. Exhale and bend forward over your legs to touch the floor in front of you.
Step 3
Inhale and rise. Place the rolled towel on the floor, perpendicular to your mat. Step on the towel with both feet and repeat the above posture.
Step 4
Come to your knees on the mat. Inhale and extend one leg out in front of you. Exhale and engage your stomach muscles while bending over your straight leg in a runners stretch.
Step 5
Repeat the previous step on the other side.
Full Horizontal Split
Step 1
Kneel on the floor with your legs hip-width distance apart. Inhale.
Step 2
Exhale and step your right foot out about 1 foot in front of your knee. Inhale.
Step 3
Exhale and bend forward, supporting yourself with your hands, while slowly sliding your left foot back. Only go as far as your body allows. Breathe.
Step 4
Begin to move your right foot farther away from your torso. Maintain a tucked pelvis and engaged stomach muscles.
Step 5
Remain in this pose for 30 seconds and breathe deeply. Repeat with the other leg.
- Your body may never allow for a full horizontal split; however, taking the steps necessary to loosen the hips in this manner will increase your flexibility.
- Using yoga blocks under the hands or pelvis lessens the strain and provides support for those who cannot come all the way to the floor.

> down.
On Minix 2 there are two critical services - fs and mm. I don't know if
there are more in Minix 3.
If any of these fails, it cannot get restarted. You need memory management
(mm) to start any process and you need a file system (fs) to find the
process you want to start. Any other service can be restarted this way.
This is a design issue - if mm or fs fail, the system is down.
> So, all these things I've done from userspace (non root account).

Possibly not. Again, I think this is a design issue. You could try with
other services as well; if "mm" (and possibly others) are secured then it is
simply a bug. If not, it is a feature - or a choice of design.

But you're also helping to guarantee the survival of Linux and choice.
And, should Linux flourish, I don't think that "Jerks who want to lock
you in" would survive. With pervasive choice, people will have a new
mind-set, i.e. that their data is *theirs*, and that the software
vendor will have to work with an open data format to be considered.

They have to buy new versions periodically anyway. When it comes time
to ditch their malware-infested Windows box, many more would switch to
the safety of Linux, if only apps like Quicken were available.

Snyder, Kessler should have capacity to 'perform properly'
April 12, 2013
In a Journal article by Tom Miller, "W.Va....
Kessler and Snyder got handed an EASY OUT tonight by the House of Delegates. They let them pass the HB2760 inside their Home Rule Bill they so desperately wanted for their buddy Mayor Danny Jones. Its just a shame the House Members had to show Senators how to use a little Testosterone to get stuff done. As for the threats to Snyder? If they were legitimate? I think it would have 'made the case' to completely kill any gun bill if he provided a name or a prosecution came out of it.

I think someone should have some evidence of this or should have to do a little time in court to see how much the $$$$$ damages are!
I think this blaming the WVCDL is liable without proof of wrongdoing.
Did Snyder fall off a turnip truck?
Isn't he smart enough to know that you can't just throw accusations like that around without proof?
SLANDER is such an UGLY word!
slan·der [slan-der]
noun 1. defamation; calumny: rumors full of slander.
2. a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report: a slander against his good name.
3. Law. defamation by oral utterance

Now even IF these supposed "threats" were perpetrated to Senators Snyder and /or Kessler by anyone,CDL or otherwise.The M-burg Journal now has published this article "By Jack DeHaven, Martinsburg , journal-news****"..So what's next..Snyder & Kessler attack the newspaper for a "threatening" article aimed at their character?ALL of us can see the graffiti written on the stalls in the Senate restrooms..Goodbye Herb & Jeff next election!Thank you Jack for a well written article about these two.
4 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The alleged threats never happened as evidenced by no arrests being made by the police. The claim of threats was just a tactic by Snyder to try to intimidate people who disagree with him into not calling or emailing. Politically Snyder = Obama.
6 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
It has been said over and over that IF threats were made via e-mails or phone calls report it to the authorities. E-mails can be traced, phone calls can be traced. I think this blaming the WVCDL is liable without proof of wrongdoing. Vote the will of the people period and not cause your scared.

2 charged with attempted murderMay 21,2013MORRISTOWN A woman who wanted to get back at her neighbors for allegedly turning her in the state welfare officials has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly setting fire to their trailer while they were in it, Morristown police said.
Leola Bell, 35, and a friend, Tina Cole, 40, pleaded not guilty on Friday to attempted first-degree murder and first-degree arson charges. They were being held on $100,000 bail.
No one was hurt in the fire last Tuesday but the trailer had substantial damage, police said. It was occupied by four adults and two small children at the time, police said.
Bell said she wanted to get back at the family, who she suspected had called the welfare office on her, according to a police affidavit.
She stated that she wanted to do something to them a fire, because of the paper work she had received, the police affidavit said. But she said Cole was the one who started the fire.
She said after Cole talked to a friend about how to set a fire, Bell then bought supplies matches, a soup ladle and storage container, the affidavit said. The two bought gas and Cole filled up a plastic bottle and walked toward the neighbors home, while Bell said she told her not to, the affidavit said. Bell said Cole screamed and ran back to the vehicle, the affidavit said.
Two other people are facing arson charges in the case. Cynthia Bell, 57, and Gwen Hislop, 49, of Morristown will be arraigned Wednesday on charges of accessory to arson for their roles in the fire at 80 George St., police.

The shooting happened just after 2 a.m. Wednesday near Heather Gate Way and Rose Point Court.
The women told officers they know the men suspected of opening fire.
No arrests were made and the incident remains under investigation.
The women were not injured.

reduced sodium variety?
reduced sodium variety?
didnt know about that,, hard to find? expensive?!
I have considered making my own bacon in order to save some money and avoid the nitrates, (though there's some debate about how bad they really are) but I haven't tried it yet. For one thing it still requires copious amounts of salt as that's part of what makes bacon "bacon", though at least you would have some control over the amounts. Here's a great article about how to make bacon yourself: http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net...n/makingbacon/ It also talks about what cuts to use for different kinds of bacon (e.g. pork belly for streaky bacon, loin for back bacon).
As far as shop bought bacon, you could probably reduce the salt content by soaking it in fresh water for half a day or so, maybe change the water every few hours. I just don't know if it's worth it. I hear a lot of conflicting arguments about salt. I figure bacon is one of the few sources of salt in a primal diet (without all those processed foods), so as long as I don't overdo it it shouldn't do any harm!
When I ate bacon (I do not eat any pork products anymore) I used to soak it to remove the salt. I would freshen the water now and then and it worked out really well. It cooked up normally in a little unsalted butter.
Keep it in the fridge while soaking it. I simply put the whole pound in my largest pot, kept it covered in the fridge and took out what I wanted to cook when I felt like eating.
Cheers guys, i thought about soaking but its so much effort, and the thing is I enjoy it soo much I will overdo it! i dont think salt is hard to find in primal due to natural salts in meat.... but like canadianwomen i want to restrict the amounts of pork products
Costco sells uncured nitrate free bacon (Coleman's brand). I think three packages run $9. The uncured bacon has less than half the salt of typical bacon. You can also buy low sodium bacon that is not any more expensive...
Check with your local butcher as well. Mine smokes his with locally grown wood chips, and I love it. Not salty at all. Freaking fabulous stuff, no curling of the meat as it cooks, the fat crisps up nicely and the meat is oh so yummy. They also add omega 3s to the feed. (They grow, breed, slaughter and butcher their own)

DETROIT, MI - The Motor City's creative community goes on parade as the Detroit Design Festival gets under way tomorrow, with more than 50 events through this Sunday, Sept. 23.
Hosted by the Detroit Creative Corridor Center, the DDF is meant to connect creative professionals with each other, while showcasing their work and opening up new markets for it.
The events schedule includes roundtable discussions, fashion shows and product launches, but also varies so widely into things such as a four-mile-long hopscotch and a post-it note competition on Woodward Avenue, that checking the DDF calendar is highly recommended.
Most of the happenings will be concentrated around the city's so-called Creative Corridor, which DDF organizers define as the area south of Grand Boulevard and north of the Detroit River, and bound by Interstate 75 and the John C. Lodge Freeway (Michigan highway 10).
Organizers for the event say Detroit's creative sector is the third largest private employer in the city with more than 12,000 professionals such as photographers, graphic designers, animators and others.
Most of the events are free of charge.

After nearly 1.5 years Magnifique Marion Cotillard has a new look! Not only do we have a fantastic layout for the main site, Mycah from Purple Haze Inc. created also matching looks for our second domain marion-media.org where you can find the extensive Photo Gallery and Video Archive as well as for our Twitter Page. I'm so excited about the results and hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Thank you for leaving your comments.
The pictures for the layout are from the 2009 Madame Figaro shoot and in my opinion showcase the different aspects of Marion's personality perfectly! The site should look fine in all browsers though the best result will be when using Firefox!

What do I need for setting up a saltwater aquarium with 220 liters?
I purchased a triangular aquarium with 220 liters and would like to know what I need for setting up a saltwater aquarium. I read your sera guide about setting up a saltwater aquarium, but I would like to know in detail what exactly I need (pump, filter system etc.) for setting up my aquarium.
you should include the following:
* heater (the wattage depends on the desired water temperature as well as the surrounding temperature)
* lighting (type and intensity depend on the animals you keep)
* a protein skimmer that removes organic matter from the water
* a biofilter for breaking down the remaining pollutant parameters
* possibly flow pumps, preferably with intake protection (sponge), e.g. sera F 400 adjustable or sera F 700 adjustable (the number depends on the setup and the desired/required current conditions)
The main part of the setup should consist of so-called live rock, by which a complex living community gets into the aquarium, making the continuous care considerably easier.
Furthermore, you must of course define the thematic direction it is supposed to have before stocking the tank, e.g. coral reef, clownfish/anemone, gobies/pistol shrimps etc. Not only the setup but also the technical equipment depend on this - for instance, reef forming stony corals that live on the photo synthesis products of the symbiotic algae that live in their tissues require much higher light intensity than soft corals that live without such symbiotic corals.
Only a few not too big fish can be kept in an aquarium of the mentioned size. Saltwater fish, even relatively small ones, usually have much higher space requirements than most similarly sized freshwater fish!
You should therefore have defined the fish and invertebrate stock before beginning to set up the aquarium!
Best regards

Lindsey Vonn and Julia Mancuso have made big headlines in Whistler, but eight other U.S. women's Alpine team members are also ready to surprise.
A re-energized Bode Miller has given the 12-man U.S. men's Alpine squad a huge boost at Whistler Creekside. See who else has gold-medal potential.
The Olympic Alpine skiing program consists of ten medal events, five each for men and women: downhill, super-G, giant slalom, slalom and super-combined.
Lindsey Vonn
and Bode Miller, have found great success in these Olympics by facing
two completely different realities. How do the weight of expectations affect the world's best skiers?
NBC Alpine analyst Christin Cooper breaks down what makes Lindsey Vonn so good at Alpine skiing, event-by-event.
Impressions of the Alpine skiing competition at the 2010 Vancouver Games are shared from a high perch.

Daveyton - Jomo Cosmos beat Platinum Stars 4-3 on penalties at the Sinaba Stadium on Sunday afternoon in the Nedbank Cup Last 16 after El-Hadji Samb and Patrick Malokase scored in extra time to take the match into penalties. In the seventh minute veteran striker Alton Meireng found himself one-on-one with Stars keeper Jackson Mabokgwane after receiving a perfect through pass which had spilt the Stars defence, but he couldn't score as Mabokgwane came to his team's rescue with his foot. In the 28th minute Stars' Nambian striker Henrico Botes was on the receiving end of a cross from the left wing, but saw his header tipped over the cross bar by Cosmos 'keeper Avril Phali. With two minutes of regulation time left to play, Platinum Stars could have won when second half substitute Patrick Malokase failed to connect with the ball from the right wing and couldn't capitalise in the six yard box when a touch could have sent the ball into the net for a goal. Both teams were deadlocked at 0-0 when the match needed to go into extra time. Seven minutes into extra time Malokase would make amends for the earlier missed opportunity. Stars earned a set piece from outside the box and the on loan Orlando Pirates man hit a right footed curling shot that beat the Cosmos keeper to make it 1-0 after 97 minutes. In the 105th minute, Meireng was guilty of another missed opportunity when he received a good cross from the left wing from Katlego Loke, but he missed the ball when the Stars keeper was at his mercy in the 105th minute of the match When the match looked to be won by Stars, Cosmos gained a late equaliser in the dying seconds when El-Hadji Samb scored from close range in the 121st minute to take the match into the dreaded penalty shootout. Phali saved Mduduzi Nyanda and Elias Ngwepe's penalties to hand Cosmos a 4-3 shootout win.

Doctor Who Helped Me Embrace My Inner GeekCecily Kellogg
Earlier this summer, I was invited to attend a comic book convention here in Philadelphia and I accepted because it seemed like a fun thing to do with my daughter. I thought, hey, people dressed as superheros, she'll love that.
Little did I know that I would discover my complete and utter inner geek there.
Now, I've been a fan of science fiction and fantasy novels forever, and of course I loved Star Trek (who doesn't?). But I have always kind of disliked Star Wars (I know, but the writing! It's terrible!) and never really thought of myself as a fan girl particularly. But then I saw that all FIVE Star Trek captains were going to be onsite and I kind of freaked out a little (okay, I may have freaked out a LOT). Then I got to meet stars like Lou Ferrigno, Anthony Michael Hall, and that guy that plays Sam on True Blood (who was amazingly kind).
But even worse than that, I realized I recognized 99.9% of the costumes people were wearing. Because I may not read actual comic books, but I do see every comic book movie and sometime read graphic novels (the only characters I didn't recognize were the lesser known gaming characters).
When I went home that night, I decided to start embracing some of the other geek things I hear about, and I started watching the show Torchwood. If you don't know, it's a spin off of Dr. Who, and I blew through the whole backlog of the show in a month or so. But I still didn't watch the actual Dr. Who series because I felt like I was coming into it so late that it would look weirdly geekly obvious to watch it NOW, after everyone else was into it and talking about it and stuff.
So. Fucking. Stupid.
So, then I was invited to be a presenter at the Philadelphia Geek Awards (seriously fun red carpet event for Philadelphia geeks) and I had such a good time being among my fellow geeks that I decided to abandon all shame and just watch it.
Oh. My. GOD.
How have I lived without it so far?
There is one terrible side effect; I have a sort of mad crush on David Tennant:
I'm not normally the kind of girl that like skinny British actors. Nor do I like brown eyes much. But, GAH. He's just so ADORABLE. When he left the show (and the new Doctor 'regenerated') I'll admit it: I totally cried. CRIED.
Now I'm desperately awaiting the final episode prior to the season pausing until Christmas (and we'll be saying goodbye to the Ponds! SOB). And I now turn all the sounds of landscaping in my neighborhood to the sound of the Tardis in my head. I'm that girl.
But I am proud to be a geek. So, now tell me: what's your geek thing? What have you been unabashed about loving?

Jackson Proposed Tax Increase
First tonight at ten, Jackson Mayor Chokwe Lumumba released his first budget plan for the city tax hikes included.
concerned: These moderators do not know how operate a debate. We never actually learn what the candidates plan to do, if elected. An actual debate goes something like this -- Moderator: This is our first question. You will each have 5 minutes to answer. Mrs Clinton, you will go first. The USA has huge deficits. How do you plan to address this, and what programs do you believe can be cut first? Mrs Clinton: (5 minute response) Mr Trump: (5 minute response) Moderator: This is our second question. Mr Trump, you will go first. Since illegal aliens are undocumented, the US government has no idea how many there are, where they are located, what they are doing, how many children they have, or if they are safe. What programs do you propose to address these issues? Mr Trump: (5 minute response) Mrs Clinton: (5 minute response) /Moderator asks additional questions, with alternating responses by the candidates/ Moderator: We will now have a rebuttal period. Mr Trump you will have 5 minutes to rebut the positions of Mrs Clinton on any subject which we have discussed. Mrs Clinton, you will have a 5 minute rebuttal period, following Mr Trump. Mr Trump: (5 minute rebuttal) Mrs Clinton: (5 minute rebuttal) Moderator: Thank you, and goodnight. LOL. Anyone who went to high school or college knows what politicians have been doing on TV for past decade or so, is not really "debating", it's verbal sparring.

Re: Self-defense art?
true please take no offense as none was intended... i have some background in both the Western Philosophical debate, and the Buddhist philosophies about the nature the self... i just thought any one really interested would find more detailed info in those places... true as well about the developement of kokyu/ki power, but i am primarily interested in the basic physical functionality of the techniques... we all get better with years of practice, but that doesn't mean it takes that long to be functional... i just think as i expressed before that this is somewhat wrongheaded and unfair to prospective students, especially if it makes aikido look like or into some sort of egalitarian pursuit with nebulous goals like enlightenment, with no SD benefits... if you doubt aikido why would you do it? and further you have no grounds to refute any criticism of the art from others...
i would like to hear any lower levels or stories from any level about their use of aikido skills, esp. in SD situations...

Sales data from Gartner shows Android on top of the Apple iPad for the first time ever in 2013
0. phoneArena 03 Mar 2014, 18:25 posted on
Despite creating the category in 2010 and amassing a huge lead in market share over the competition, for the first time ever in 2013 Android tablet sales globally topped those of the Apple iPad. Not only did Android take the top spot from the iOS flavored slates, it more than doubled the sales of iPads. The information was disseminated by Gartner...

first time,and still running STRONG!
5. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 13068; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
When you price something super low of course people will buy it. That doesn't mean apple should be worried.
10. tedkord (Posts: 11706; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Who said Apple should be worried? You're the one who sounds worried, making excuses and rationalizing.
17. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 13068; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
I'm not. Apple has a specific market they target. I simply pointed that out.
30. jroc74 (Posts: 6006; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Listen...super low prices didnt and doesnt make a difference for Palm, WP, BB, and anyone else I forgot.
You have to have a decent, super low priced product. And all the Android tablets arent super low priced.
When will the hyperbole stop?
33. Finalflash (Posts: 3104; Member since: 23 Jul 2013)
It's literally the only fan boy excuses left, that more people choose Apple even though it's over priced. But what they don't know is that it probably now or soon enough, more people will be buying expensive Android tablets that expensive ipad, just as it is in the phone market. Then they'll bring up how Apple is making more money but that's just them punching their own mouth but thinking they're being smart.

bravo Android!

No they can easily be swayed with cheap knockoffs, low quality tablets, and bargain bin prices.
6. Topcat488 (Posts: 1396; Member since: 29 Sep 2012)
Hahaha you sound mad sister... Next year the ipad will get multi-window. like that cheap knockoff i hear..... sike... No multi-window. :(
7. jellmoo (Posts: 1595; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
The problem here is that it's not really giving us a clear picture. We need to see a breakdown of revenue and profit, not total volume sold.
11. tedkord (Posts: 11706; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
No, we don't because it's Android /iOS, neither of which is sold directly.
14. jellmoo (Posts: 1595; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
But that's why. It's a bit of a meaningless comparison. If we can break down profit per company, we can see where the majority of tablet dollars are going.
8. jphillips63 (Posts: 221; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
And once again this reflects one companies sales against half a dozen or so. I'd be ashamed if I were android with so many companies selling my product yet one company alone can hold its own against so many.
13. tedkord (Posts: 11706; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
iRationalization at its finest.
34. darkkjedii (Posts: 21349; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Actually he's right ted, we both know only two android tablet makers really matter, Samsung and amazon. As the article said the cheap sector made up the difference. Target, walmart, Walgreens, CVS, even 7-11 all carry $70-$100 android tablets. My sister in law bought like 5 for her husband and children. This shows that android is doing great bro, but let's keep it in perspective.
37. AntiFanBoyz (unregistered)
Actually, he's wrong jedii. One could reasonably argue that if 15 companies all sold iPads that the results would be exactly the same because those companies would simply steal market share from Apple. It's an Android vs iOS comparison and number of companies is moot. Android should be ashamed for having many companies use their product? That's the most asinine iFan style statement I've read today. Perspective is great; logic is better.
38. darkkjedii (Posts: 21349; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
No, android shouldn't be ashamed, they should continue to follow a very successful business model. I do however agree with him, as far as the android vs iPad thing. No one android tablet outsells the iPad, combined they do. That was his point.
23. PBXtech (Posts: 1032; Member since: 21 Oct 2013)
Did you say the same when Windows was killing Apple in computer sales?
9. seanwhat (Posts: 280; Member since: 11 Jul 2013)
121 mil is not more then double 70 mil D:
12. twens (Posts: 978; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
It doesn't matter. The issue is android is catching up to the ipad
Market share and apple should be indeed worried. They are indeed loosing sales to android when it comes to market share. Look at their iPhone shares . Android has totally crashed that and now it's starting with their tablets also. You ifans are just ignorant and soon before u realize your precious company will be out of business.
15. jellmoo (Posts: 1595; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
Are they though? Somewhat in the market for a $150-200 tablet isn't buying an Apple product. It's not a real comparison.
And I'm not an "iFan". I own neither an iPhone nor an iPad. I just want to see a more direct comparison.
18. Napalm_3nema (Posts: 2185; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
The market is expanding, which is not crashing sales for Apple. If that was the case, Apple wouldn't sell more, they would sell less. There are only two competitors in tablets, and they are the same as in smartphones: Apple and Samsung, with everyone else picking up the scraps or losing money. Ask the PC OEMs what a race to the bottom in profits feels like. 100% of all profits go into the pockets of two companies! and neither one is named Microsoft or Google.
As for "Android" tablet sales, I think if they actually broke it down into Google Play Android sales, Amazon sales, and "white box" Android sales, the picture would be drastically changed. I would be willing to bet Android tablets that tie into Google's ecosystem would represent a minority, based on other market analysts' reporting, which doesn't bode well for Google.
24. PBXtech (Posts: 1032; Member since: 21 Oct 2013)
Apple isn't going out of business, they just won't be making as much money as they could be thanks to Android.
16. nctx77 (Posts: 1969; Member since: 03 Sep 2013)
60 million drug store tablets! Good job Android. Android fanboys always look at these number and think people are picking android tablets because they are better. If Apple made there tables as cheap as the tablets in the other category or the other category was as high as the ipad, then the comparison would be fair. Actually, most android people I know have ipad, but I'm in the US.
26. Scott93274 (Posts: 4668; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)
If you think that price is the issue then why did the iPhone 5c do so terribly? Also, iPhones are not out of the price range of low income people. Best Buy just had a deal allowing people to pick un a iPhone 5S for $0.01 on a two year contract. this is hardly an uncommon occurrence. so giving away an iPhone is still not as attractive of a deal as buying an Android.
27. jphillips63 (Posts: 221; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
That best Buypromo was to trade in a iPhone 4/4s to get the deal read fine print.
28. Scott93274 (Posts: 4668; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)
I'll have to take your word for it. I had no interest in it so I didn't bother reading the fine print. Though, you can still get the phone for super cheap subsidized so price should really be no excuse.
29. Napalm_3nema (Posts: 2185; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
The 5C didn't do poorly, but it did not match the 5S. It has outsold every other phone on the planet, including the Note 3, NOT named the iPhone 5S or Galaxy S4.
19. alltechinside (Posts: 248; Member since: 21 Apr 2013)
lmfao I wonder what data Tim cook is going to show next time after all the years of saying how great the iPads market share was compared to the competition lol
32. jroc74 (Posts: 6006; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
He's gonna do like Jobs did and move the goal posts from market share to profits....
When the iPhone gained on BB and over took it....Jobs always mentioned marketshare. Enter Android....and market share somehow didnt matter anymore and the focus was profits.
22. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
Grats Android, you come a long way!
25. Scott93274 (Posts: 4668; Member since: 06 Aug 2013)
I'm sure without a doubt that Android will outpace the iPad before too long, but it is possible that the iPad still has a majority of the market share when tablets are concerned. I'm curious how much total global market share each OS has obtained and how much it's changed since last year.
31. jroc74 (Posts: 6006; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Funny seeing these things in the comments here and elsewhere:
Rationalizing like with Android phones started grabbing market share in 2009, 2010.
The same excuses for phones are being used now.
Some, many ppl said Android phones would never overtake the iPhone....its de ja vue yet again for Apple.
Good point by PBX.....we dont hear these excuses with the PC vs. Mac debates. Actually there is very lil debate in that category now.
Yet again.....ppl just dont wanna give credit where its due. If something is low priced...and it really sucked...it wouldnt last.....no matter how cheap it is. See Palm that had great software + so so hardware..... or BB that had great hardware + so so software....
See also WP thats barely hanging on....
Logic and common sense seems to escape some ppl....
36. good2great (Posts: 1042; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
that apple supreme-ness has gone... it was bound to only last for a few years anyway until other companies figured out how to push their products.
apple has to move to a new category and dominate all over again... like iWatch....

Deputies: Murphys man kills children, then himself
Teenagers attended Bret Harte High School
A Murphys man shot his two teenage children before killing himself, Calaveras sheriff's deputies said Sunday.
Deputies said friends of the two teenagers went to the family's home in the 1200 block of Sandalwood Drive on Saturday after not hearing from them for several days.
The friends told deputies that they found the body of Phillip Marshall, 54, lying in a pool of blood inside the home.
When deputies arrived, they found Marshall lying in front of the home's front door, and Alex Marshall, 17, and Macaila Marshall, 14, lying on a couch with gunshot wounds.
A dog was found dead in a bedroom.
A preliminary examination showed that all three were shot once in the head with a handgun. Sheriff's Sgt. Chris Hewitt said the mother of the teens and estranged wife of Phillip Marshall, was on vacation in Turkey at the time.
Alex and Macaila Marshall were students at Bret Harte High School in Angels Camp.
A motive for the shootings is being investigated.
**The Associated Press originally reported that the two victims were boys. The Calaveras County Sheriff's Department has confirmed that the teenage victims are a boy and a girl.
