text: What about taking those investment costs and hiring a software developer team to just build an android app that integrates with your sip/voip offering to allow your customers to use any tablet they may already have (probably already have is better term) as a video conference device on your service? That is easier to market to your existing customer as a value add, and also is a marketable feature for your service to potential new customers. It also isolates you from making and selling hardware that people already have. Then, to market to customers that don't have tablets you could offer the Chinese built tablet with your branding on it as an additional product and not have any sunk costs in said hardware. At work we use tele presence a good bit since we have a global presence. I routinely use my tablet for video conferencing and have zero desire for a desktop dock just to have a corded handset. I can simply plop my blue tooth headset in my ear and pair it with my tablet if don't like the on board mic of my tablet. We are using polycom, Cisco, and Avaya for tele presence and each have value add apps so you can use your existing mobile device infrastructure to save costs. We are a fortune 400, and my team alone has a multi-million dollar annual budget, and we have decided to not waste money on desktop video phones when our tablets and phones work perfectly already. Right now Cisco is blowing it away simply because they have a badass app for their tele presence. Microsoft Link is also really really good at tele presence, voip and video and it can be sold as a hosted service for a couple bucks per month per user, and that includes full document collaboration and an Office 365 suite. Unified communications is crashing together with document collaboration in the cloud space and the big boys have already released some really competitive products with aggressively cheap pricing. Don't get me wrong, I don't like MS, and but Link is a really good product, that can be bundled with other services and sold in pretty much any manner. It's going to be tough to play ball with it when it can be so cheap for SOHO and even large enterprise (like us) to buy, bundle with Office 365, and have a full on tele presence, and voice, voip, video, doc collaboration, cloud storage of said docs and instant white boarding and meeting services all in one package.

Chris Mannix of SI has OKC as his favorite next year: "Every core player can improve. Kevin Durant will be better at creating space against a physical defense and playing through contact. Russell Westbrook will continue to mature as a playmaker. Kendrick Perkins will come back 20 pounds lighter with healthy knees that make him a lot more mobile. James Harden's Manu Ginobili-like game will put him in the hunt for an All-Star berth. With a full season as a power forward, Serge Ibaka will be a better one-on-one defender. This isn't guesswork: Oklahoma City's rise has been rapid, and having the league's third-youngest roster coupled with the return of its top eight players means this conference finalist will get better."
Chris Broussard and Ric Bucher who has the better dynasty shot, OKC or Miami: "Bucher: The very guy you doubt — Westbrook — is the biggest reason I like the Thunder going forward. He has taken an absolute beating from critics since he entered the league and simply keeps coming. Whether it was P.J. Carlesimo not playing him after he was the fourth pick in the draft or that 3-29 start in OKC or this recent playoff run where so many suggested (falsely) that he was sabotaging the Thunder with his aggressiveness, I've yet to see Westbrook show any signs of self-doubt or fragility. He looked at the league's leading scorer and basically said, "I'm not going down waiting for you to get yourself open or take something more than a 28-foot off-balance 3." Me, I like that attitude. The pro game isn't about being liked or magnanimous; it's about taking the opponent's lunch, by any means necessary. Dynasties can't be built on cornerstones faint of heart anymore than a skyscraper can remain sturdy with a milk crate in its foundation. I'll take my chances with the guys who, so far, are bloodied but unbowed."
A fascinating Sport Science on Derrick Williams' jumper and the ideal rotations a shot should have.
Bleacher Report, where dumb writing is done.
J.A. Sherman of Welcome to Loud City grading James Harden: believe that other than Russell Westbrook, Harden is going to have the biggest question mark on him heading into next season. Going into 2010, Harden could simply be the guy behind the guys, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. He was expected to grow, but not expected to become a key component in their championship push. However, with a playoff run that Harden just had, it all changes. Going forward, Harden is going to play an integral role in the evolution of the Thunder offense."
A terrific piece on Dirk at Deadspin. Your move, Grantland.
Draft Express's new mock has OKC taking Kyle Singler: "Oklahoma City's only real need at the moment is for a combo forward, in the Jeff Green mold. While this can surely be addressed in free agency, drafting a polished and highly experienced senior like Kyle Singler makes plenty of sense. He can space the floor at both the 3 and 4, will compete defensively and on the glass, and won't need a great deal of schooling to make the transition to the pros."
Danny Chau of HP: It was supposed to be a gradual process, but Westbrook hasn't been one for subtlety. His rise to elite status has been as heartwarming as his thoughtless shooting displays have been crushing. The Thunder's playoff run has once again exposed questions in Westbrook's game that require answers. There's no hiding anymore. Westbrook still needs to learn how to play at different speeds, and learn to take contact on drives to avoid awkward loft-shots. And maybe this time, he'll learn patience. Because the charge he leads, he does not lead alone. He is among friends.

Security Flaw in Vista and XP - Rootkit exploit in the wild
,----[ Quote ]
| This goes to show how much effort rootkit authors are putting in to creating
| new ways of evading Anti Rootkit software. This is a new vector of attack for
| malware writers and gives them control from outside the Operating System.
Already vulnerable to rootkits, with under 1% penetration in businesses (myth
of security and market share gets debunked yet again).
Will Windows Vista Succeed In 2008? Don't Count On It
,----[ Quote ]
| Vista has certainly been slow out of the gate. Sure, Microsoft is putting the
| operating system on newly shipped systems, but Vista sales didnât benefit
| from the upgrade surge that previous OSes got upon release. A year after it
| began shipping, less than one percent of corporate desktops are running
| Vista. Â* Â*
2008 kicks off with critical Vista/XP patch

| Four of this month's bulletins are labelled 'critical' and
| relate to vulnerabilities that may allow remote code execution.
Microsoft Plugs Critical Vista Hole
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has just patched another critical hole in Vista that it
| knew about as long ago as last Christmas. The delay was similar
| to its lag in patching the serious (and heavily targeted)
| animated-cursor flaw I told you about last month.
Microsoft Patches Not One, But Three Vista Holes
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft today released an update for the recently popular 'animated
| cursor' vulnerability. The update was originally scheduled for April
| 10th, but due to recent exploits, was rushed out today. The update
| wasn't just for this one vulnerability though, in Vista, it addressed two
| others, and in all covered seven vulnerabilities in Vista, XP and
| 2000.
Windows Vista's Built-in Rootkit

Will Next Tuesday's 3 Updates Effect Vista?
,----[ Quote ]
| I would suspect that one will be a patch for the Windows MessageBox
| exploit, so Vista should get it. Might another be for the Vista
| 'Timer/2099 Crack'? I wouldn't consider it critical, but
| Microsoft probably does.
Windows Vista now has its first exploit spotted in the public
,----[ Quote ]
| Security experts have confirmed that a proof of concept code for an
| unpatched vulnerability in Windows Vista has been released on
| the internet.
Windows Vista: It's More Secure, We Promise
,----[ Quote ]
| Well, allow me to take a moment to remind everyone of something that
| you might not remember - XP was also touted as being ultra secure.
| Seriously, can anyone honestly look themselves in the mirror and say
| this is the gospel truth? You have got to be kidding me. Similar to
| XP, Microsoft promises to have the most secure Windows version to date
| yet again.
Windows Vista kicked out of Olympics PCs
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft's latest version of Windows is too risky to implement for the
| important computers managing the 2008 Olympic summer games in Beijing, said
| the event's computer supplier and sponsor Lenovo. Â*
Acer: PC industry 'disappointed' with Vista
,----[ Quote
| Acer president Gianfranco Lanci became the first major PC manufacturer to
| openly attack Microsoft over the Windows Vista operating system in the
| Financial Times Deutschland on Monday. Â*
| Lanci said the operating system was riddled with problems and gave users and
| businesses no reason to buy a new PC, according to the report. Taiwan-based
| Acer is the world's fourth-largest PC manufacturer, after HP, Dell and
| Lenovo.
| "The whole industry is disappointed with Windows Vista," Lanci said.
Interesting comment from CompUSA
,----[ Quote ]
| Every single one of them he said was returned from consumers... and that they
| (CompUSA) couldn't ship them back. As he heard, Microsoft wasn't giving
| credit back for unsold or returned copies... and didn't want the returned
| figures made public... He wouldn't say that every single one of them
| exchanged for a copy of Xp, he didn't know if that was true. So, I asked how
| many boxes did they have. Same glare, followed with a "You do not want to
| know" type statement. Â* Â* Â*
Windows Vista: Sold but not deployed
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft says it remains happy with enterprise sales of Vista -- however,
| the software behemoth acknowledges that many businesses which have bought
| Vista licences are yet to deploy the software. Â*
Critical Vulnerability in Microsoft Metrics
,----[ Quote ]
| This is a small subset of all the vulnerabilities, because the
| vulnerabilities that are found through the QA process and the vulnerabilities
| that are found by the security folks they engage as contractors to perform
| penetration testing are fixed in service packs and major updates. For
| Microsoft this makes sense because these fixes get the benefit of a full test
| pass which is much more robust for a service pack or major release than it is
| for a security update.
Skeletons in Microsoftâs Patch Day closet
,----[ Quote ]
| This is the first time Iâve seen Microsoft prominently admit to silently
| fixing vulnerabilities in its bulletins â a controversial practice that
| effectively reduces the number of publicly documented bug fixes (for those
| keeping count) and affects patch management/deployment decisions.
Beware of undisclosed Microsoft patches
,----[ Quote ]
| Forget for a moment whether Microsoft is throwing off patch counts
| that Microsoft brass use to compare its security record with those
| of its competitors. What do you think of Redmondâs silent patching
| practice?
Microsoft is Counting Bugs Again
,----[ Quote ]
| Sorry, but Microsoft's self-evaluating security counting isn't really a
| good accounting.
| [...]
| The point: Don't count on security flaw counting. The real flaw is

OK, i know this is gonna sound stupid, but i have played Jetpack Joyride on my Samsung Infuse to DEATH. I got though every mission once, started them again. Got most of the gadgets, keep playing. Why? because its a simple, fun game. you touch the screen when you want Barry, the protagonist who steals the jetpack, even though it has a very clearly marked "DO NOT STEAL" sign in front of the victrola, to fire his jetpack.
thats it. you just want to go for distance. get as many coins as you can to unlock for stuff. different jetpacks, different clothes, boosts, etc.
Its a simple game. But after I got a android tablet, I redownloaded it for that one and beat all the missons on it again. because i have FUN with it.
Well, when I saw it was on the front page of my PS3 home page, i downloaded it without question. and its a MILLION times better with a controller than it was on a touch screen. the graphics are old school, SNES level, id say, and its just a side scroll twitch gaming fest, that goes faster and faster. But I guarentee I'm gonna get every trophy in the game, because i love it.
I wondered as i played it on the Galaxy Tab a while back how it would translate, if it could, to a console experience. I gotta say, HalfBrick did a great job with it. Its simple mindless fun and its FREE.
DOWNLOAD IT! Just to have a nice twitch out experience not involving 3 Monster Energy drinks.

According to J.D. Power and Associates study, the average time customers waited to speak to a representative at their wireless phone company in early 2008 was 4.4 minutes, up 34 percent from 3.3 minutes in 2003.
The study tracked wireless carrier customer care in three areas: calls to customer service, visits to a store and questions via the Internet. Nearly half of all wireless customers contacted customer service within the past year, according to the study, and 75 percent of these customers did so by phone.
Some providers did better than others. On the chart, which for some reason goes from 70 to 110, Verizon Wireless received a score of 103, Alltell Wireless scored 102, T-Mobile scored 100 and AT&T Inc. got a score of 97. Sprint Nextel Corp.'s score was much lower, at 79, making it the only provider that didn't get a rating of at least "about average."
Sprint should take heed: Kirk Parsons, J.D. Power's senior director of wireless services, said customers who are put on hold are 83 percent more likely to switch wireless carriers than those who aren't.

by ANASTASIA GLUSHKO
I am attempting to become a runner. I have always fancied being one. I have visions in my mind of the runner me: transformed in a Jennifer Aniston-type figure, enjoying post-run fruit salads with yoghurt (evidently, my dairy intolerance disappears) in cafes with my fellow runner girlfriends, all of us wearing inexplicably crisp white t-shirts and sporting thighs so taut, they cause passers-by to howl in jealous agony.
Before this year, I had never run. Not unlike the peoples of East Africa who, television leads me to believe, are physiologically predisposed to being good at running, my body has been genetically engineered for sitting down. I have no calves, and whilst reliably comfortable, my bottom is not made of what sports scientists would associate with the tough stuff. According to a True Age test I once undertook at the gym, I have the lung capacity of a 180-year-old (true story, it was off the crap charts).
Plus, I have always been profoundly distrustful of healthy outgoing types. After my partner, Ryan, ran a marathon with two weeks' training last year, I kept a knife under my pillow for months. When healthy outgoing types have smugged on about how physical exercise gave them an endorphin rush, I felt like coughing blood in their eyes.
On the occasions I have tried, the internal conversation with my body has gone a little something like this:
Body: "Well, this is fairly uncomfortable. Perhaps we should set ourselves a fitness goal and then set out to achieve it. People on Biggest Loser seem to bang on about how that makes it both easier and enjoyable."
Brain: "That is both ridiculous and inane. We do not care about fitness goals. If we did, we would already be fit. Besides, 80% of us is composed of biscuit. A lofty goal for us would be to run for five minutes without vomiting. And then what? We are still pretty crap by most people's standards. Let's stick to the things we do well: ABC watching, opinion-having and napping."
Body: "Yeah, alright. I feel like chips anyway."
But I have finally found my motivation to become a runner, and her name is vanity. It turns out that running is surprisingly efficient at minimising the appearance of wobbly bits – even more efficient than fake tan! A revelation. So, without even being chased, I now run. For 30 minutes most mornings (unless it is raining – who am I, Rocky?), I have been waddling dynamically around our local area using nothing but my legs.
I am, of course, obliged to pretend that I Am Not My Body and that I am making no conscious effort to reduce my flubber. Vanity, you see, is generally perceived to be a shallow and meaningless preoccupation that is robbing me of time and energy better dedicated to meditating or bottle feeding orphans. Which is why I say this to all of you ladies: pretty much all of us own a pair of skinny jeans. As a concept, these are about as comfortable as a holiday in Syria. Find me a woman who is not vain and I will show you a liar.
But although and because this vice unites us all, I think you would all enjoy the sight of me running. The sweaty, panting discomfort, the glazed-over expression of dread, the simultaneously pink and pallid face, the hilariously slow rate of progress that has nevertheless proved so exhausting…you would smugly LOL.
And LOL you can, because I do not care. To my horror and disgust, it turns out that the healthy outgoing types were right all along: the endorphins are lovely. Don't get me wrong: I don't think I am a proper runner yet. Overall, I still find running about as enjoyable as eating chalk. But as the weeks go on, I fear I am becoming everything I have held in such disdain for so long.
If I do not run, I become irritable, like a constipated bear unable to find the woods. The wailing inside my head when I drag my dumpling of a body out bed in the morning is growing quieter. The constant tight, sore feeling in my legs is becoming…mildly pleasurable.
I have even bought some preposterous full length running tights made of some kind of cybernetic superskin and one of those tops that slurps the sweat off your back. I am but a few weeks away from procuring a headband.
Now, to find some runner girlfriends…

Nicky Hilton and Todd Meister aren't letting their Aug. 15 nuptials cramp their party style. Late last Friday night the couple turned up at Hollywood's Avalon nightclub to get their groove on. Sporting a diamond eternity band on her left ring finger, Hilton hit the dance floor and boogied with pals Bijou Phillips and Lindsay Lohan while Meister sat out and watched. For Lohan. it was merely a brief break from beau Wilmer Valderrama's side, where she spent most of the evening. They traded kisses and she shimmied down his body while they danced. But mostly, reports one clubgoer, the couple huddled together at a table typing text messages.
Kirsten Dunst, who split with Jake Gyllenhaal in July, raised some eyebrows Aug. 30 when she strolled into the Argyle Hotel's Fenix in L.A. just before midnight with Josh Hartnett, who had his hands on her shoulders. The pair chatted with friends before making their way to a table where Harnett lit the actress's cigarettes. "Everyone was surprised to see them together," says a spy. "They appeared to be very close." Close? Yes-and no, says a rep for Dunst. "They've been friends forever—they did [1999's] The Virgin Suicides together. They ran into each other at a hotel where they were both doing press junkets for their movies." The pair hung out at Fenix until 1:45 a.m. before leaving with a group of friends.
In other Hilton news: Nicky's sister Paris also stays busy keeping up her image. To get those baby blues, she wears colored contacts over her brownish-hazel eyes. Even that isn't always enough. After a photo shoot for her upcoming book Confessions of an Heiress, Hilton insisted that all 12 original photos be retouched to intensify the color. "Essentially she said, 'My eyes aren't blue enough,' " says a source. Then there's her flowing mane. "Her hair is actually curly and she hates it," adds the source. "She has to get it blown out professionally every time she washes it. And yes, those are extensions." Why does she go to all that trouble? Says the source: "Because her career is based on how she looks and she knows it." A rep for Hilton had no comment.
Last Monday, Britney Spears and Kevin Federline made Hollywood's late-night scene for the first time in months, returning to Joseph's Lounge, the nightclub where they first met. Who else was in the house? Federline's ex, Shar Jackson. By all accounts the scene remained peaceful....
How serious are Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn? The L.A. couple's recent trip to New York City did have a purpose: "We were visiting my parents," says O'Connell....
Kimberley Locke, who has been sharing an L.A. pad with Clay Aiken, says the American Idol duo will be getting their own digs. "I'm ready I to have my own home," says Locke. "After being on the road, we both come home to an empty house, so I might as well come home to my own empty house!"....
NBA star Chris Webber and model Tyra Banks, rumored to be engaged, have, in fact, split. A rep for Webber says that the couple "broke up two months ago and remain good friends," adding, "At no time were they ever engaged."

Berwick hosted 13 church leaders from across the north east recently.
They visited Berwick Academy, Tweed Dock and Berwick CAB to learn more about issues in the local community.
The leaders of most of the Christian denominations in our region met with local congregations in Berwick and Horncliffe at the beginning and end of the day, and listened to how local churches are engaging with their local communities, focusing on local challenges and opportunities.
The church leaders also are keen to understand areas in their patch, enabling them to serve local congregations as they seek to serve local communities, and so having listened to a local county councillor and local churches in the morning, the group moved on to the Berwick Academy, meeting with head teacher Alexis Widdowson. The visitors learned a great deal about the challenges and opportunities of education in Berwick.
Next the group moved on to Tweed Dock, and the chief executive Alan Irving brought home the human side of a hugely important industry, and brought out the particular features of the Port of Berwick in relation to our surrounding community and economy.
The visitors then made their third and final visit to Berwick Citizens Advice Bureau, meeting with former manager, Jennifer Hall, and other staff, to hear about issues of homelessness, debt and poverty and struggles faced by many requiring benefits advice.
The church leaders left Berwick with a better feel for life in Berwick after such a stimulating and informative time. The church leaders are all extremely grateful for the time given them by local congregations and ministers, Mr Irving at Port of Berwick, Ms Widdowson at Berwick Academy, and Mrs Hall at Berwick CAB, and County Councillor Jim Smith, whose contributions were integral to a valued and successful day.
The Church Leaders were Mark Bonnington (House Church Movement); Mark Bryant (Bishop of Jarrow; Paul Butler (Bishop of Durham); John Claydon (Regional Minister, - Pastoral – Northern Baptist Association); Seamus Cunningham (RC Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle); Terry Drainey (RC Bishop of Middlesbrough); Lis Mullen (Interim Moderator of Northern Synod, United Reformed Church); Leo Osborn (Chair of Newcastle Methodist District); and Frank White (Assistant Bishop of Newcastle); Paul Revill (Regional Minister – Mission – Northern Baptist Association).

TIGER Brands advanced for a fifth day yesterday to the highest in more than a week after saying on Wednesday it had reached agreement in principle to buy a 63,4% stake in Dangote Flour Mills of Nigeria from Dangote Industries.
Shares in SA's biggest food company rose 1,9% to close at R255,50 yesterday.
Its acquisition target, Dangote, headed for its highest in more than a month yesterday, rising 4,9% to 6,24 naira in Lagos midday trading, the Nigerian commercial capital, set for the strongest close since May 30. The proposed deal has been submitted to Nigeria's Securities and Exchange Commission and the JSE for approval.
"The deal will give Dangote Flour an edge in terms of product acceptance and a wider business horizon," Eugene Ezenwa, chief operating officer of PAC Securities, a Lagos-based brokerage, said yesterday.
"It will help guarantee some level of foreign funding when the need arises, and also standardise the company's processes, and that's why investors are scrambling for the stock."
Dangote Flour Mills is listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange, with 73,4% of the stock held by Dangote Industries, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Dangote Industries is closely held by Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote, who is also president of the Lagos-based Nigerian Stock Exchange.
Tiger Brands wanted to expand into Africa to increase revenue from its operations outside SA to 30% of total sales over the next five to 10 years as the home market slowed, CEO Peter Matlare said on May 22.
Tiger Brands has not yet made an offer price, saying on Wednesday a further announcement would be made in due course.

Vermilion Catholic High School Receives College Readiness Recognition
Vermilion Catholic High School has received the "2008 College Readiness Award" from the Louisiana ACT Council.
The award is for increasing the number of students taking the ACT Assessment over the past five years and significantly increasing their level of achievement and college readiness. The Louisiana ACT Council is comprised of secondary and postsecondary educators who advise ACT, Inc. on the utilization of ACT programs and services in Louisiana schools and colleges.
ACT, Inc. is the not-for-profit organization that provides assessment, research, information, and program management services in the broad areas of education and workforce development and the publisher of the ACT Assessment. The ACT Assessment is the college admissions test that is used and accepted by all colleges nationwide and throughout Louisiana. In 2008, over 85% of Louisiana students took the ACT which is the predominant college admissions and readiness achievement test in Louisiana.
According to Karen L. Pennell, Assistant Vice President and ACT Southwest Regional Manager, "The Louisiana ACT Council wanted to recognize those Louisiana high schools that have made significant strides in increasing the college readiness of their graduates as demonstrated by their ACT score increases over the past five years. This can only happen as a result of the high school's faculty and staff efforts and the dedication of Vermilion
"Catholic High School students and parents to focus on college readiness and raise the level of college readiness for all students. Only 12 high schools in Louisiana were honored for this superior level of accomplishment."
Last school year thirty-six Vermilion Catholic students were members of a new club on campus, the Eagle ACT 21+ Club. To be a member of this club students must attain a score of 21 or above on the ACT test.

Android Market Update Rolls Out
Designed to aid developers in the commercial distribution of their applications, the new Google Android Market client streamlines the browse-to-purchase experience.
Discoverability and merchandising are only two of the improved areas of the Market client; a new carousel on the home and category screens were added as well. From the promoted applications page, users can flip through the carousel and can get to the download page for the applications they want faster and more efficiently. Also added to the app details page is Related content so users can find similar apps. In addition to the those improvements, developers have added both Widget and Live Wallpaper categories, with plans to add more popular games and applications categories.
During the next two weeks, users should begin seeing the Market client updates hit devices using Android versions 1.6 and higher.
For more information, see Eric Chu's post on the Android Developers Blog.

According to & #BANNER1 & # sources in the know, undergarment brand Hanes (from the US based Hanes Brands Inc. stable) has moved to Lowe. This is following a pitch process that commenced around May 2008.
As reported by afaqs! at the time, Hanes had split with its creative agency, McCann Erickson, after a controversy regarding some press ads the latter created for the brand. According to some, McCann was sacked by Hanes, but others insisted that it was a mutual parting of ways. The next one heard was that Hanes was on the lookout for a creative agency.
The pitch is believed to have involved agencies such as Lowe, O&M and JWT; the final tussle, according to industry sources, was between Lowe & O&M.

Hi! My name is Abigail-Rose Lea
I am Domestic Mediumhair from Moscow, VT
Nicknames: Abs; Abbers; Abba-dabba-doo; Abberdeenie; Abbadoozles; Miss Abigail-Rose with the Pink-Rose-Bud Nose OR: Miss Abigail-Rose with the Dirt up Her Nose.... depending on the day; The Foot-Leaf Lady (she has a black spot on her left foot in the exact shape of a leaf.
Age: 11 years old
Gender: F
Coat: long haired
Education: When I get bored with our 50+ toys, I've learned to move glasses to the end of counters, then knock them off & watch them fall. It sounds cool, and I get to supervise Mom when she picks them up... the pieces, that is. I think she enjoys it, coz she always says, "Thanks a LOT, Abbie!". Also, I taught Hazel how to jump on the counter, then fridge, then to the top of the cupboards. Mom seemed really impressed... she even said, "Oh, great, Abbie! You know, Hazel never did that until you joined the family!".... so, I think that's pretty neat! I also figured out that, if a picture is hanging a bit off-center, one sure way to get my Mom to re-hang it right, is to get it swinging pretty good & bounce it at the same time, until it falls off the wall. This always guarantees correct replacement, well... except for a couple that had glass in them, but that only happened during practice, and now they don't have glass any more, so it's okay.
My favorite tricks and treats are: Hmmm.. I don't think of them as tricks, more of self entertainment, but I guess the aforementioned rocking pictures off the wall could count, or perhaps the time I was trying to get high enough to catch a bug on the ceiling, by using the wall clock that's by the TV armoire... I only meant to lean on it, but ended up hanging off the front of it by my paws... rather embarassing, really... I had to be rescued by Mom, who said she'd seen something like it on a card once. It made me feel better to know I wasn't alone! So, you asked about treats, too and I'd have to say... cat nip! That stuff is GOOOOOD! Mom gets it at the health food store.. much better than the sticks & twigs from the grocery store! ^. .^
Where I hang out: I prefer observational hang outs. I am a studier of things, so the higher the viewpoint, the better, in my book. I like the top of the cupboards, the top of the TV armoire, and even the top of the curio cabinet, though that one requires a difficult jumping angle. I enjoy watching other creatures by making use of the window seat in the dining area occasionally.
My favorite grubs: I'm definitely not very choosy there! I do love to eat! I especially like fresh chicken, and tuna.
My pet peeves: Having to wait until my siblings walk away from their dishes, before I get the leftovers (Mom thinks that the black, leaf-shaped mark on my foot, is actually a "black hole").
What I love about my owners: I love that she & I were kindred spirits from the time I was 3 weeks old, and that she never forgot me, even though I went away for 5 weeks. I love that she put a bed on top of the armoire, so that my nap times up there are much more comfy. I'm glad she didn't give up fighting to get Percy, coz I love him, and we play all the time... (Thanks, Mom, I love you! ~ Abs)
My cat hobbies: Wrestling with my siblings; eating; getting up on really high places; knocking pictures of the wall, and glasses & things off counters/tables- .
Pet motto: "Life will never be boring, if you just create your own fun!"

I met Abigail-Rose when she was 3 wks.old. I stopped by the shelter for a sec., & heard tiny mews. 3 tiny kits, 2M, 1F. The 2M seemed to act as you'd expect, at that age, but the little female had a surprisingly aware look of "What's this place? Where am I going?" When I picked her up, in turn, she turned her inquiring, worried look to me, studied me at length and, after deciding that whatever she was scanning for was "alright" with me, heaved a sigh, curled up against my chest, & slept for over 2 hours. I remember saying to a lolling tiny face "If you were mine, I'd call you 'Rose'.", because her nose was like a bright pink rosebud. When the foster folks came to get them, she cried when she was taken from me & put in the carrier. I was trying to think of the separation positively- it would give me 5 wks. to let the feeling fade, she'd be 8 wks. then, not this tiny 3 wk. old, etc.., Well, I thought of her every day, and recognized her the second she came back. I knew I wanted to be her Mom always. I named her Abigail-Rose, because I thanked God for the joy he brought me through her, so her name means: "God is Joy- Rose". She's still a very smart & highly perceptive girl who studies the faces of people, and is sensitive to the vibes of whatever's going on around her.

Europe takes major step forward to end violence against women
Amnesty International welcomed today the adoption of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence.
After more than two years of negotiations, the Ministers' Deputies of the Council of Europe adopted the text of the Convention. The treaty will be opened for signature at the Ministerial Session of the Committee of Ministers in Istanbul on 11 May.
This treaty establishes a framework for governments to ensure robust action to prevent, investigate and prosecute violence against women. It will also facilitate the sharing of good practices and provide a solid basis for improvements in securing women's equality before the law in Europe.It contains up-to-date models for legislation on the definitions of rape and sexual violence, domestic violence, stalking, risk assessment, protection measures and services for women and girls who are survivors of violence.
The sustained work by women's organizations and Amnesty International's own research on violence against women across Europe shows that laws on rape and sexual violence are not enforced and that impunity for violence against women is deeply entrenched. In too many countries, domestic violence is still considered a social problem, rather than a crime.
Amnesty International states that women and girls are entitled to equality before the law. Violence against women and the persistent impunity for related crimes undermine the equality that is their right, and remain widespread across Europe.
The organization urges states to ratify and implement this treaty and start making the changes to their laws, policies and practices to end this scourge as women and girls across Europe had been waiting for justice for too long already.
Background information Following its campaign to end violence against women the Council of Europe decided to draft a treaty to prevent and combat violence against women and domestic violence. Amnesty International campaigned intensively for such a treaty by the Council of Europe and participated actively as an observer in the drafting group that negotiated the treaty. Together with other human rights organizations, Amnesty International worked to ensure that existing international human rights standards on women's equality and aiming at eradication of violence against women were appropriately reflected and developed in the new treaty.
See for example: Time to take a stand: Amnesty International opposes amendments that will weaken the Council of Europe treaty on violence against women (AI Index IOR 61/004/2011, 16 March 2011) Don't Waste this Opportunity: Make the right decisions on the Convention on Violence against women (AI Doc IOR 61/014/2010, 3 August 2010.) This document contains a list of all Amnesty International's work since 2004 on violence against women in Europe.

Lake Shore Gold Corp. has identified the miner fatally injured April 2 as Trevor King.
King was loading a development round on the 730-metre level at the Timmins West Complex when he was struck by a piece of rock. The incident is under investigation by the Ministry of Labour, Lake Shore Gold management and its joint health and safety committee.
"Our focus over the last two days has been to support Trevor's family and our employees. We have been focusing on communication and providing counselling to our employees. The Timmins Mine has been shut down (April 3 and 4) and production will resume in the next day or so when we have had good safety discussions. My heart and prayers go out to Trevor's family," said Dan Gagnon, senior vice-president of operations, in a press release.

Readers' Jumbo Questions: Too Soon to Refinance?
Developments recently asked readers to send us their questions about private jumbo mortgages, which borrowers often need to buy luxury homes. AnnaMaria Andriotis, who writes the Jumbo Jungle column in the Journal's Mansion section, offers some answers below.
Q: Just purchased a home in the Greater Boston area in June 2012 with 20% down and a jumbo mortgage with an interest rate of 4.35%. Found a few lenders offering 4%. Is it too soon to refinance? What should I watch out for when refinancing a jumbo?
It depends on how long you plan to keep the home. The whole point to refinancing is to save on interest payments. But borrowers typically incur closing costs each time they refinance, which can run up to 2% of the mortgage amount. They'll have to determine how many months of interest savings they'll need in order to recoup the closing costs.
Let's assume you started with a $1 million 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in June and made the required monthly payments, which means you owed about $986,246 as of March 1. To refinance this loan amount, you could incur closing costs of up to roughly $19,720. Your monthly principal and interest payment will drop from nearly $4,980 to about $4,709 with a 4% rate, and you'll need just over seven years of those monthly savings just to recoup the closing costs for this refi. You'll need to stay beyond that period to pocket savings. (The breakeven period will be shorter if closing costs end up being less than 2% of the loan amount.)
Another option is to shop for lenders offering no-cost refinancing, which is when lenders waive closing costs in exchange for a slightly higher interest rate. Try to see if any company will provide this option at a rate lower than what you're currently paying.
Q: Can I get a jumbo mortgage with less than 20% down?
It's rare, though possible, to get a jumbo mortgage with less than a 20% down payment. Some lenders will permit this as long as the borrower agrees to pay private mortgage insurance. The cost will vary based on many factors, including the borrower's credit score and how small his or her down payment is, but it could be as much as 1% of the loan amount each year.
Some large banks, including the Bank of New York Mellon and Citi, offer up to 100% financing to their affluent clients, often through their wealth management or private bank divisions. Loan terms will vary though they often require two forms collateral. Typically, 60% to 80% of the loan will be pegged to the home's value while the remaining 20% to 40% can be secured by an investment portfolio the applicant has with the bank. In this scenario, the borrower can avoid making a cash down payment. For more on how these loans work, check out the Jumbo Jungle column "The Return of 100% Financing."
Q: What is the best way to avoid a PMI requirement on those loans?
To avoid private mortgage insurance, borrowers will need to make a down payment of at least 20%. Many lenders will avoid providing a jumbo mortgage to borrowers who can't meet this threshold.
In cases where lenders permit PMI, borrowers should consider whether this expense, which can equal up to 1% of the loan amount on an annual basis, is worth it. PMI will shrink as the down payment a borrower can make gets bigger: For instance, a borrower offering to put 15% down will likely pay less in private mortgage insurance than someone offering less than 10% down. PMI is also determined by the borrower's credit score, and it's usually lower with a fixed-rate than an adjustable-rate mortgage.
For the most part, borrowers stop paying PMI when they pay their mortgage down to roughly 78% of the value of the home or they reach that level due to home price appreciation.
Q: When comparing rates for jumbo mortgages to purchase a condominium, is there a benefit in working with a large bank with a local branches [that] will keep rather than sell the loans?
There are perks to sticking with a lender that keeps the mortgages it originates on its books. If in the future borrowers want to refinance their mortgage or to get a loan modification, the lender is more likely to provide options since it's in full possession of the loan. If the mortgage is sold to a servicer with a lending arm, it could help the borrower with a refinance in the future; otherwise borrowers will need to shop elsewhere for a refi. Separately, when the mortgage is passed off into securitization, it's the investors who are holding the mortgage who often have the final say.
Borrowers can ask lenders what they're planning on doing with the mortgage before they sign up for it. Many large banks are keeping the jumbo mortgages they originate on their books, at least for now. However the loan paperwork often includes language that lenders can opt to sell the mortgage in the future. If that happens, the borrower will receive notification from the lender and their new loan servicer.

NFL playoff predictions are always a tough call.
Although we're only heading toward Week 12, we should already have a good idea of which teams are likely headed for the playoffs.
Looking ahead at the remaining schedule, there are plenty of important games to look forward to.
Here are the 25 most important games left this season...

That is your opinion and is not fact until it actually happens. You have to be mindfly. I've never seen somebody on here so down in the dumps and doom and gloom about everything.
Without home ice they are not beating the Canucks and that's a fact. They may also not beat St.Loser without home and even with home ice they are still not safe as the Preds, Hawks, Blues & Canucks can all beat this flawed Wings team in the playoffs. Just like the 2010 & 2011 Wings playoff teams this is just as flawed!
(No I'm not saying he's not a fan or what not, he cares and everybody in here cares about the team, I hate when people go that route, just getting really tired of this damned negativity and over the top pessimism not by just him but in general in here lately)

County Court at Law No. 3 Judge Langston Adams has denied a request by Beaumont Independent School District Communication Director Jessie Haynes for a new trial on her Class B misdemeanor conviction for blocking a public passageway.
Andrew Miles, 88, one of the first 20,000 African-Americans to enter the United States Marine Corps in 1944, was honored Thursday, June 12, in a ceremony in his room at Harbor Hospice in Beaumont as part of the hospice center's veterans program.
Activist Quanell X and a group of about 18 people gathered at the Beaumont ISD administration building early Wednesday afternoon, June 18, to rally for ousted BISD
Orange Police officers are searching for a suspect involved in the burglary of business on Monday, June 16.

Once you've eaten whipped cream you'll never want to eat Cool Whip again;
and it is super easy to make.
All you need is some heavy cream, sugar and a mixer.
Pour in about 1/2 a quart (there are no exact measurements).
Once you make it a few times you will be a good judge about how much to make.
Start your mixer on slow, otherwise it will splatter everywhere!
Whip on HIGH for about 3-4 minutes, be careful not to over whip,
this can happen very quickly so keep an eye on it!
When it starts to thicken add a couple tablespoons of sugar.
You will know it is done when it looks light and fluffy.
Again, do not over mix it, it will turn into slop,
Keeping some heavy cream on hand makes it easy to whip up a little whipped topping for any dessert.
This was just blueberries, whipped cream and a strawberry on top.
Of course a small sprig of mint looks wonderful on any dessert.

Authorities in Cumberland County are trying to determine who abused seven dogs and puppies.
The animals were found running loose in Vineland on Monday and Tuesday with urine burns, gaping wounds and feces on their fur.
The Cumberland County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says the poodle-mix dogs came from at least two litters. Some appear to be about 2 years old; others are younger.
Local SPCA Executive Director Bev Greco says someone needs to be held accountable for the dogs' condition.

A fine flagship
This oven comes with Pacifica's ThermoFan 3D technology, which works by drawing air in from the oven, heating it up, and forcing it back into the oven cavity by a powerful fan that spins at a high speed. By continuously circulating hot air around the oven in this way, the desired temperature is achieved more quickly and evenly than in a normal oven, saving time and energy as little to no preheating is required. Because the hot air is focused directly onto the food being cooked, the heat is evenly distributed. Furthermore, a complete three course meal can be cooked at the same time on the three shelf levels without the flavours intermingling.

Brown's attorney, Mark Leiendecker, a public defender, made the motion for a mistrial following the swearing in of a SLED employee. The jury was sent to their jury room, while Leiendecker argued against the woman being allowed to testify. The SLED worker was not the one who conducted the gunshot residue exam. The woman who conducted the exam was unable to testify because of medical issues, according to prosecutors.
Leiendecker argued that he was being denied the right to cross examine the individual who wrote the report. He also told the judge he hadn't seen the report by SLED on the GSR test. Leiendecker asked the judge for a mistrial because of a "several issues" in the trial. He argued that prosecutors should have waited longer to try the case.
"We had no desire to rush this case to trial. They could have put this off to another term of court. At this juncture that the chain of evidence is incomplete, I move for a mistrial and a mistrial with prejudice," Leiendecker said. Circuit Court Judge Ed Dickson spoke with attorneys in his chambers and Leiendecker announced to the court he had seen the report, after closer observation. He withdrew his motion for a mistrial based on the claim he hadn't seen the SLED report. Leiendecker said that despite the clarification, there are still several issues that need to be addressed before they move on. Circuit Court Judge Ed Dickson dismissed the jury for the day so that the issues could be resolved before testimony continues tomorrow.
Before the trial began Tuesday, Brown's co-defendant, Jontae Davis, 18, who also had been charged with murder and was to be tried with Brown, accepted a plea deal. Davis pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and armed robbery and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. He testified against Brown during the first day of trial Tuesday and claimed he was with Brown at the time of the murder. The pair are accused of ordering food from the Domino's Pizza store in Coosaw Creek and waiting for the delivery man in the parking lot to rob him, according to investigators. When Birdsong was walking to his car, the pair approached him, investigators said. Brown pointed a gun at Birdsong and demanded he hand over the food, which he did, prosecutors said. Brown demanded Birdsong's cell phone but he said he didn't have it on him, Davis testified. When Birdsong turned around and started to run away, Brown shot him in the back of the head, Davis said during testimony Tuesday.
