Yahoo announced it has integrated with Facebook, allowing users to link their Yahoo and Facebook accounts and view and share updates with friends across both networks. It has also renamed Yahoo Profiles "Yahoo Pulse" (http://pulse.yahoo.com), which allows users to manage their identity and activities across Yahoo from a central location.
Yahoo said it was actively partnering with advertisers to develop innovative new ad formats that bring social aspects into the ad itself, "creating brand evangelists and increasing direct participation with marketers' messages, which should help increase the ad's impact and performance." Yahoo also said the new features would help advertisers better understand customers.
In related news, Wall Street analyst George Askew of Stifel, Nicolaus & Company issued a report (PDF format) on Monday that estimated Yahoo's new Sign-In page display ads could generate almost $100 million in incremental annual revenue when it launches soon. Yahoo announced the new ad space last month, explaining it would be a full-page branded display ad that takes over the Yahoo Sign-In page - the third most visited page on the Yahoo website with about 26 million page views per day, according to Askew, who wrote that the page had previously been limited to internal Yahoo product ads.

With prominent state Democrat Alex Sink losing a hotly contested Congressional race in the Tampa Bay area last week, lots of Democrats are worried about Election Day this fall.
Some analysts say the victory of Republican David Jolly is a signal of growing dissatisfaction with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and other Democratic priorities.
If so, the blowback could hit Democrats hard in the fall congressional elections, particularly vulnerable Democrats in conservative-leaning districts like U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Jupiter.
Democrats also could be at risk of losing their majority in the U.S. Senate.
But others say that the Sink's defeat in a majority-Republican district has little bearing on the rest of the nation.
Does Democrats' loss of the U.S. House seat in Pinellas County mean anything for this fall's elections? What do you think?

I did this cake for a girl turning 21 who is a massive choco-holic! So on the inside there is chocolate mud cake with chocolate fudge butter cream & choc ganache then covered with chocolate fondant!
This cake looks as yummy as it looks beautiful!!!
Also is the fondant just chocolate colored or actually chocolate flavored? Did you make the fondant or buy it? thanks :-)
Thanks so much! I will be doing a black & white version in march next year too :-)
The fondant I used is bought, with 3 kids under 5 I find it helps my sanity to buy it haha. I used Satin Ice Dark Chocolate Fondant, I love it to work with the only funny things with it is that it need more kneading than white or coloured fondant to get it looking smooth & even and it tends to get more bubbles in it as well but thats nothing that can't be fixed! & more importantly it tastes like chocolately goodness too!

TDU Review
Test Drive Unlimited is a breath of fresh air to the racing genre and features some of the best online integration to date, meaning it'll remain in your 360's disc drive for quite some time.
Driving around the island itself is fun (and can earn you achievement points), and the GPS means navigation is never a problem. Press right on the d-pad and the overview map is brought up, on which you can set waypoints and target certain events or buildings. If you're feeling lazy you can even teleport straight to a location, assuming you've been there before. Filters can be applied to show where real-life online players are cruising, but this is only part of the online integration.
It's not technically an MMO, but TDU certainly has similar elements. If you're connected to Xbox Live you'll see other drivers on the roads (although you can't see everyone), and a simple flash of your headlights sets up an instant challenge. You set the destination point and you're off. Other locations on the map are already set up for online races, and there's a great system that lets you create and enter user-created challenges. For example, you create a time trial event, but other players need to pay to enter, with the winner taking a big prize and you a small cut. There's also a nifty club system (which of course costs money) and the ability to trade cars online. It really does feel like you're part of an exclusive car loving community.
But it's not just cars - you get to buy and race in bikes as well, and these can be mixed and matched in online races. It might be a personal thing, but I found the bikes a little awkward to control. In fact, control in general will be the biggest area of concern for most gamers. TDU uses a somewhat realistic driving model, but the result takes a little getting used to. This isn't Project Gotham, but it's not Forza either, and finding out how far you can push the vehicles will cause more than a few spin outs for the first few hours. Tweaking the steering sensitivity and turning off the driving assists helped improve things, but at times you'll wish you were cruising around in cars that handled like they do in PGR3.
For a free-roaming open world game, TDU looks rather beautiful. The island environment is one of the most pleasing to the eye ever seen in a video game, and when bathed in sunlight it looks truly stunning. Car models are equally impressive, with some fine attention to detail on the exterior and interior, complete with working dashboards and animated gear changes. Had the frame rate remained smooth and pop-up not been a problem it would have been a showcase title for the system, but things bog down now and again and objects pop into view fairly frequently. That said - it's still a game to show off your HD TV with.
Maniacs will be disappointed to hear that crashes have no affect on your car, either performance or appearance wise. NPDs (non-playing drivers) get into all kinds of trouble though, and their cars aren't immune to the laws of physics. After a rather badly timed overtaking manoeuvre you can ram headfirst into an oncoming car, which will react and dent petty realistically. We're not talking Burnout levels of destruction, but the effect is more than good enough. Sadly, the NPDs frequently demonstrate near suicidal levels of intelligence, turning blindly into traffic, or simply ramming into each other for no reason. If you're a motorway driver you'll also find their incessant lane changing a nightmare, especially during the high risk delivery missions.
Little details go a long way, and TDU is full of them. The radio can be controlled entirely using your left thumb (not advisable while at high speed), the GPS is complete with voiced instructions by a calm sounding lady, animals can be seen in the forest areas, you can get tickets from the police and spend time in jail, and stats are tracked for just about everything. The achievement points tied to the game are also used brilliantly, in a way that makes every moment in a car worthwhile. Simply driving a certain number of miles (one achievement requires you to have driven 5,000 miles!) gives you points, while progression in all of the game's main events also earns you points.
The strange thing about Test Drive Unlimited is that it grows on you without you really noticing. Before long you'll own numerous properties, be part of a club, be thinking about buying your tenth car, and you'll have clocked up a thousand in-game miles. Its faults are there to be seen, and some - like the frame rate and lack of tuning options - could be seen as game breaking faults, but if you're not bothered about the technical side to driving, Test Drive Unlimited is simply wonderful. It's a breath of fresh air to the racing genre and features some of the best online integration to date, meaning it'll remain in your 360's disc drive for quite some time.

The Great Ocean Road is a well known stretch of road along the southern coast of Victoria, Australia. Along the road there are several prominent natural coastal landmarks that draw many visitors to the region each year. The limestone stack formations of the Twelve Apostles enjoy great international fame, but there are many more spectacular rock formations just outside the coast.
This stretch of coast is ever changing due to rough nature of the ocean. High winds and pounding waves slowly eat away from the bases of the fragile rock stacks. Every so often the weakest rock stacks collapse and the views once again changes.
The view in this photograph is well-known, but also changed in recent years. The heap of rocks in the foreground once was another rock stack, but it collapsed in 2005.

Oyer was named to the All-MAC Second Team, while Mattingly was selected to the league's All-Freshman Team as the MAC Tournament semifinals got underway in Ypsilanti, Mich.
Ball State plays in Friday's second semifinal game, taking on No. 2 seed Miami University at 2 p.m. at Eastern Michigan's Scicluna Field. The first semifinal of the day features Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan.
Oyer, a product of Leo, Ind., has started all 20 games as the central midfielder for Ball State. The sophomore and former Memphis transfer leads the team with six assists on the year and has helped the Cardinals control the midfield this season. She assisted on both goals in the Cardinals' MAC Tournament quarterfinal victory over Central Michigan.
Mattingly, a freshman from Floyds Knobs, Ind., has started all 20 games at defender for the Cardinals. She has played 1,884 of a possible 1,915 minutes, helping to anchor a Ball State defensive unit that led the MAC with a 0.84 goals against average during the regular season. Mattingly has also scored one goal and assisted on two others on the offensive end.
The MAC postseason awards were selected by a vote of the league's 12 head coaches.
Ball State enters its game Friday with an 11-6-3 overall record, marking the most wins for the program since 2007. The Cardinals came into the tournament as the No. 6 seed and were the only team outside the top four seeds to advance through the quarterfinals.

Around the world, angry workers unite on May Day
ISTANBUL -- Workers around the world united in anger during May Day rallies Wednesday -- from fury in Europe over austerity measures that have cut wages, reduced benefits and eliminated many jobs altogether, to rage in Asia over relentlessly low pay, the rising cost of living and hideous working conditions that have left hundreds dead in recent months.
In protests, strikes and other demonstrations held in cities across the planet, activists lashed out at political and business leaders they allege have ignored workers' voices or enriched themselves at the expense of laborers. In some places, the demonstrations turned violent, with activists clashing with police.
Many nations have been struggling with economic downturns for several years now, and workplace disasters in developing countries are nothing new, but the intensity of some of Wednesday's gatherings suggested workers' frustrations have grown especially acute, with many demanding immediate action to address their concerns.
The anger was painfully evident in Bangladesh, where the collapse last week of an illegally built eight-story facility housing multiple garment factories killed more than 400 in a Dhaka suburb. The building collapse followed a garment factory fire in November that killed 112 people in the country, and it has increased the pressure on the global garment industry to improve working conditions.
In Greece and Spain, increasing numbers of people are losing their jobs as governments grappling with a debt crisis have been cutting spending, raising taxes and pursuing other austerity measures. Both countries have unemployment rates hovering just above 27 percent.
More than 100,000 Spaniards took to the streets of about 80 cities, including Madrid and Bilbao.
Francisco Moreno, an unemployed bookkeeper, scoffed at Spanish leaders' calls on the public to be patient. "You can only be patient if you have savings, money in the bank," the 47-year-old said. "You can't be patient if you have no income and kids to feed."

47-year-old man shot, killed early this morning while trying to place an order at South Dallas drive-thru
A little after 1 this morning, Dallas Police were called out to the 4100 block of Scyene Road, where Spring Avenue turns to Pine Street in South Dallas. They were told there'd been an accident, that a man had crashed his car. But when officers arrived, says Dallas PD spokesman Sgt. Warren Mitchell, "they discovered he'd been shot."
Officers soon learned that the man, 47-year-old Charles Leo McFarland, had been at the Williams Fried Chicken just up the street, at Scyene and 2nd Avenue. He'd been in the drive-thru, placing an order, when three men approached McFarland and demanded his money. He refused, and tried to speed off. One of the men "fired multiple times" at McFarland's car, says the police report. He was hit once. Says the report, McFarland "was able to drive several blocks before crashing his car on Scyene Road." Which is where officers found him.
It remains unclear how officers found out where and when McFarland had been shot; Mitchell says it's possible the victim told them, since "he wasn't deceased till after he reached the hospital" — Baylor, to be specific. Mitchell says if detectives have leads, they aren't saying at the moment: "The suspects remain at large."

Side Gig Thursdays: Krystal Barber, Amazon Mechanical Turk
|Email Print
I remember a few years ago with Amazon Mechanical Turk first appeared. The basic idea was that you created individual tasks, called Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs), put them in the system, and people would go and do these tasks for you. A lot of HITs would be information gathering and you can see them by searching the site. I took a look last week and saw jobs like "find legal categories of law firms" and "finding keywords on Google." The pay for these jobs is not much but the jobs are short, you do them at your own pace, and a little extra cash in your pocket is nice. Until I talked to Krystal, I'd never met anyone who was a "mechanical turk."
Here's her describing her side gig in her own words:
I begin using Amazon Turk this past summer. So far, I have earned about $200.00 in my spare time from Amazon Turk. It may not seem like much but it is a little extra pocket money in this recession. I can go out to eat, get my hair done etc. I have also been paying my Internet bill monthly from the survey money. So the Internet really is paying for itself. You can do it at your own pace… whenever, wherever. I usually go on every other day looking for assignments. I could earn more but I have a lot of other stuff going on including being a fulltime college student. But the most free time you have, the more you can earn. If I had more free time, then I would've earned more. I recommend downloading a tool called TurkOpticon. This helps you pick the best tasks and avoid those tasks posted by scammers who want you to do the work, then they will reject the work and hurt your worker rating because they are too cheap to pay. Firefox and Google Chrome (I think) are the only two browsers that support Turk Opticon. If you have any other questions, let me know. Thanks.
What is your day job?
I lost my "day job" which is why I began looking into other methods. I am a socialogy student currently.
What is your side gig?
The side gig is going surveys with JD Power Panel and taking part in market research studies on Craigslist. I also do Amazon Turk.
Why this business and how did you start it?
I simply started it by searching the web for survey opportunities and searching craigslist. I heard a lot of interesting things about Amazon Turk (good and bad) so I decided to check it out.
How much does it make each month?
It varies. I make about $100 a month altogether which like I said is not much. But it pays internet and other necessities (toiletries, and "fun money".)
Do you have a plan to try to turn it into your full time gig?
I would like to turn it into a full time gig. But I am currently dealing with mental and physical health issues in addition to being a full time student. As I get some things off of my plate, I can start putting more time into it.
What resources did you rely on in starting the business?
I searched the internet for information about these companies I chose to work for. I got a lot of information to help me avoid scams. The main thing I learned is how to avoid getting scammed on Amazon Turk by using Turk Opticon (like I mentioned earlier). It lets workers rate the requester. If you see that a requester has a low rating, you will know that he or she is the type of person who will have you do their work and then reject it so they won't have to pay you. Yet, they keep your work and your worker rating suffers. It is sad that they are scamming already underpaid people but it does happen.
Do you have any advice for people looking to start something on the side?
My advice is not to spend money when you choose to do what I do. There are enough free opportunities out there. Unless you are starting a real tangible business (i.e. selling Avon, vitamins), there is enough information online for companies that will allow you to sign up for free and work for them. Also, do not expect to get rich doing this. But if your income has been cut to zero like mine was, any little bit helps.
A little supplemental income never hurt anyone! I hope you enjoyed the interview – if you know someone who would make for a good profile/interview for Side Gig Thursdays, please let me know!{ 7 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Hi guys!
Thanks alot for the help.The fantastic "deal" for a quad matched pair for 60€ wasn't as appealing when they turned out to be russian rebrands. :)
How much does a NOS pair of 2399/5998 matched tubes cost nowadays?
vacuumtubes.net has them for $85 each.

Yeah, $85 for a 5998 is insane. I picked up a pair for less than that not too long ago. And while they do sound slightly better than the typical 6AS7 in my Bottlehead Crack, they don't sound $45 a pop better......
Agreed. I was lucky enough to pick up a bunch of these several years back when they were easy to get for $20 each.
Good thing then I still have ten 2399 in my stock. I was just wondering. Thanks Skylab.

I tend to like your stock - you be having things. May have to send you a PM sometime Saturday afternoon regarding your most wonderful stock. And my lonely vacuum tube amp.
Well this is actually my personal stock, I only have 6AS7G based amps ;)

Ten 2399 tubes are a good thing to have. If you really like their sound you should consider getting an amp modified to bias the tube ideally. You'll be surprised at how much better they can sound when they are operating at their most linear operating point. IMO if you actually design the power supply of the amp to accommodate the 5998/2399 it puts the tube in another league from the 6AS7G all together.
How do the TS 5998s with green letters on the base differ from the ones with white print (other than the print color, of course)?
No difference as far as I know. They should all have the same construction

Morning Briefing: Hungarian Industrial Output and Key Vote in Focus
- Local/GMT
- 0900/0700 Hungarian stats office publishes May industrial output data
- 1400/1200 Polish central bank publishes June FX reserves
- N/A Hungarian parliament holds final vote on key central bank law
- Czech markets closed Friday for bank holiday
Investors in the region are focusing on macroeconomic data releases in Hungary and Poland on Friday as well as a key Hungarian parliamentary vote that is required before talks about its financial bailout package can begin.
Markets are closed in the Czech Republic due to a public holiday.
In Hungary, analysts expect industrial production to have contracted in May due to demand from the country's main export markets falling and domestic consumption remaining in the doldrums. Optimists are looking to a new Mercedes factory that started production earlier this year as a potential source of output growth.
Meanwhile, Hungary's parliament is due to hold its final vote on amending its controversial central bank law. The country needs financial backing to help appease its creditors and solve its rising debt problems but last year the European Union and International Monetary Fund criticized the existing law, saying it violated the National Bank of Hungary's independence.
The institutions requested certain changes to the law as a precondition to Hungary starting talks on its financial bailout package. The Hungarian government, and the other sides involved, said the proposal that parliament will vote on addresses the relevant concerns and once the revised law comes into effect, formal negotiations may begin.
POLAND: Poland's central bank should keep interest rates flat and be ready to ease monetary policy if its economy decelerates more quickly than expected, the International Monetary Fund said Thursday.
POLAND: Poland's iconic Gdansk shipyards said on Thursday that they plan to recruit 600 employees over the coming two years as demand grows.
HUNGARY: The head of Hungary's central bank slammed a plan to extend a new financial transactions tax to the bank, insisting this would hamper its independence, in a letter published Thursday.
HUNGARY: Hungary's cumulative 2012 budget deficit widened further in June on higher state subsidies and increased interest payments on debt, the economy ministry said Thursday.
ROMANIA: Romanian lawmakers on Thursday debated moves to impeach President Traian Basescu as one of the country's worst political crises in the post-communist era came to a head.

Gracies Crew is one of the top fundraising teams for this years Charleston Great Strides Cystic Fibrosis Walk.
Gracies Crew, a group formed to support Summervilles Gracie Rasner as well as organizations seeking a cure for Cystic Fibrosis, brought a large contingent of supporters to walk the three-mile course for the fundraising event on May 3.
While crewmembers walked, members of the Ashley Ridge girls and Summerville boys soccer teams offered their support by volunteering to help staff the event.
Athletes in the area have befriended young Gracie, who is the daughter of Summerville High School boys soccer coach Jason Rasner.
So far Gracies Crew has raised $11,166 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation through Great Strides.
Locally, the amount is second only to the $11,477 raised by the Prestons Perseverance team.
Donations can still be made to any team by visiting http://fightcf.cff.org/site/TR/GreatStrides/116_South_Carolina_Charleston?fr_id=2284&pg=entry and clicking on the team name.
Great Strides is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundations largest national fundraising event. Each year, more than 125,000 people participate in hundreds of walks across the country to raise funds for cystic fibrosis research and drug development.
Great Strides continues to gain momentum, as does research efforts and the progress being made in the search for a cure.
The CF Foundation has raised and invested hundreds of millions of dollars to support the development of new CF drugs and therapies.
But the lives of people with this disease are still cut far too short.
The publics continued support is still needed to fulfill the foundations mission of finding a cure and improving the quality of life for those such as Gracie who face the challenges of living with the disease.
Walks are held at nearly 600 locations nationwide and are open to the public.
The Great Strides event provides an opportunity for family, friends, students, co-workers and colleagues to come together in support of a worthy cause.

Many Qataris avoid talking to media, says survey
17 Jan 2014 - 4:32
DOHA: Many citizens shy away from talking to the media because of fear about reactions of their friends and relatives, reveals a survey by a local Arabic daily.
A majority of respondents — 58.5 percent — to the online poll have, however, cited the main reason for this reluctance as a lack of awareness about the role of the media in society.
The earlier view was expressed by 41.5 percent of respondents.
About 85 percent of respondents believed that the local media represented their views and concerns while 14 percent aired the opposite view.
And about 68.5 percent said they were concerned about making mistakes when talking to the media while 31.5 percent had fears that they would be held accountable for their views by the higher-ups.
Some 56.6 percent said they were weary of communicating with the media because they think their comments would not have any particular impact. On the contrary, 43.4 percent believed that sharing views with the media will have a clear impact.
To encourage more citizens to interact with the media, 45.5 percent of respondents proposed a campaign to raise awareness about the media's role, while 32 percent felt that the media should conduct dialogue involving the public.
Some 22.5 percent wanted some kind of guarantee against possible negative consequences of talking to the media.
About 62 percent of the surveyed believe that educational institutions are the biggest platform for public participation, while 37.5 percent attributed this role to civil society organisations.
Reacting to the survey, Dr Abdul Hameed Al Ansari, a noted Qatari writer and academic, said that many people were not aware that they could make a real impact in decision-making through the media.
Many people don't know what appears in the media can put pressure on decision-makers, especially when it is repeated many times, he said.
Dr Mozah Al Malki, a prominent Qatari psychologist, said that the problem lay with the way people raised their children. They did not encourage children to speak in public, which makes them shy of sharing views. This reflects a lack of self-confidence, she told the daily.

New Urine Test Provides Greater Clarity in Diagnosing
Detecting Two Cancer-Specific Genetic Fingerprints Can Better Direct Patients and Eliminate Unnecessary Prostate Biopsies
August 3, 2011 -- Since its introduction in 1987, the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test has been the best first step in the diagnostic process for prostate cancer. But its lack of specificity for cancer—it is more of a smoke alarm for signaling potential problems in the prostate—and its potential for producing false positives, has left clinicians and the prostate cancer community wanting a better diagnostic tool. The discovery of specific prostate cancer DNA fusions in 2005 opened the door to discovering diagnostic tools that are specific only to prostate cancer.
Scott Tomlins, MD, PhD, a PCF Young Investigator funded in part by unrestricted funds from Safeway Foundation, and a team of researchers at the University of Michigan under the direction of Arul Chinnaiyan, MD, PhD, a PCF Investigator, have developed a prostate cancer-specific test using two genetic fingerprints—biomarkers—that are prevalent in most prostate cancers and are easily detectible in a simple urine test. The DNA markers are the TMPRSS2:ERG gene fusion, present in 50 percent of prostate cancer patients, and PCA3 (prostate cancer antigen) which is expressed at high levels in 95 percent of prostate cancer patients.
"With more than 300 types of human cancer, this DNA urine test is ultra-specific to prostate cancer and prostate cancer only," comments Jonathan W. Simons, MD, president and CEO of the Prostate Cancer Foundation. "This new diagnostic tool is an important advance that will move us closer to our goal of curing more and overtreating less."
The availability of an easy-to-use urine test that is specific in identifying the presence of cancer has the potential to eliminate thousands of unnecessary prostate biopsies in the U.S. each year. Physicians currently begin recommending a biopsy, based on patient factors such as age, family history and general health, once a man's serum PSA levels rise above 4.0 ng/ml. Yet, less than half of the patients who are biopsied each year are subsequently diagnosed with cancer.
"There is no one biomarker for every prostate cancer," explains Dr. Tomlins. "But, combining these two specific biomarkers that are widely found in prostate cancer patients, we now have a tool for making more informed decisions. Using this combined test, patients and their physicians can now decide to proceed to biopsy or delay a biopsy with greater confidence."
The results of studies using the new urine test were published online this week by Science Translation Medicine (www.ScienceTranslationalMedicine.org) by Dr. Tomlins and other researchers who are involved with the trials.
According to Dr. Tomlins, patients with low levels of TMPRSS2:ERG and PCA3 DNA markers have only a 20 percent chance of being diagnosed with prostate cancer and their chances of having a high-risk cancer are just seven percent. However, patients with high levels of these biomarkers have been shown to have a 70 percent chance of having cancer with a 40 percent of it being a high grade cancer. There is also an association between test results and the size of the tumor in patients who do have cancer.
There is also another benefit of this new test beyond identifying which patients really require biopsies. Needle biopsies can miss entire areas of the prostate in which cancer is present. In combination, this new biomarker test provides more data with which clinicians can home in on a patient's cancer and may allow for more effective assessment of the cancer's potential aggressiveness.
While it is important to note that it will take some time before the combined urine-based assay is widely introduced into practice, the University of Michigan has been offering the PCA3 test alone since earlier this year. They expect to be offering it in combination with TMPRSS2:ERG by the end of this year under a license agreement with GenProbe. Another trial using the combined assay will soon be conducted in cooperation with the Early Detection Research Network (EDRN). EDRN, an initiative of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), brings together dozens of institutions to help accelerate the translation of biomarker information into clinical applications and to evaluate new ways of testing cancer in its earliest stages and for cancer risk.
Once the University of Michigan begins offering the combined TMPRSS2:ERG/PCA3 test, physicians can send urine samples for analysis until the combined test is more widely available. For more information on this, men with questions about prostate cancer screening should speak to their doctors or call the U-M Cancer AnswerLine at 800-865-1125.

For myself, I like good bullets moving fast of the 124 gr variety. It's pretty much six one half-dozen the other. Pick a load that is reliable in your gun, even a Glock can be picky about certain HP bullet profiles. Shoot a bunch of it for accuracy, reliability and feel. Then consider if you think the overall load offers the terminal performance you want. For me that equals Speer GDHP 124gr +p. Excellent bullet design that performs well, very reliable ammo. Have shot over 700 of them, no problems. I'm sure your choice would be fine. I personally see no point in the heavyweight 147s, if I want a big slow bullet I'll take that in 230gr please.

115gr JHP's often do not penetrate sufficiently (12+ inches), especially at +P velocities: http://apollo.demigod.org/~zak/firearms/fbi-pistol.php?sort=grade1
Suggest Speer GD 124+P, or Proload 124gr+P.
By the way, the Winchester Ranger Talon 147gr was one of the best (if not the) performing 9x19 loads, based on the FBI-protocol testing.

I like the standard pressure 124gr Speer Gold Dot.
April 23, 2003, 02:29 PM
Big time Ditto on the Gold Dot or ProLoad 124gr +P JHPs!

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.

Digital Commons @ BC Law Hits Two Million Downloads
download milestone marked by two new collections
Digital Commons @ Boston College Law School (http://lawdigitalcommons.bc.edu/), the law school's institutional repository, recently received its two millionth full-text download in less than four years of its existence. This exciting milestone demonstrates the effectiveness of the repository in promoting the scholarly output of the law school.
Two new collections, both focused on BC law student publications were also added to Digital Commons this fall: Sui Juris and The Alledger. Sui Juris (not to be confused with the BC Law yearbook of the same title) was the publication of the law school's Student Bar Association from 1956 to 1968, and it offers an earnest and compelling portrait of the law school during a period of growth. In contrast, The Alledger, published from 1981 until the mid-1990s, was an irreverent and often humorous student newspaper. Anyone interested in the history of the law school will find these publications to be a unique resource.

The cover-up is worse than the crime.
That's what comes to mind when I think about Bank of America's (NYSE: BAC ) ongoing marketing campaign. Sure, the commercials are nice and all that. But they completely miss the point. There's no question that Bank of America needs to repair its image. To do that, however, it doesn't need a fancy and expensive marketing blitz. All it needs to do is apologize to its customers. In the video below, Motley Fool contributor John Maxfield explains how this could be the final catalyst that Bank of America's investors have been waiting for.
Bank of America's stock doubled in 2012. Is there more yet to come? With significant challenges still ahead, it's critical to have a solid understanding of this megabank before adding it to your portfolio. In The Motley Fool's premium research report on B of A, analysts Anand Chokkavelu, CFA, and Matt Koppenheffer, Financials bureau chief, lift the veil on the bank's operations, including detailing three reasons to buy and three reasons to sell.

McAllister Wants To Be FSU's Anchor
Florida State defensive tackle Demonte McAllister just smiles when he is double-teamed. It's a sign of respect.
And a challenge.
"I like taking on double teams because that really tells you where you are," the former Alonso High standout said. "When that guard comes down on you and the tackle hits you in the hip, you sling that guard off of you and go after the offensive tackle. If I was 270-275 (pounds), they probably would have washed me out.
"But now (that) I'm 295, almost 300, pounds they don't stand a chance when I get my hands right and play the right technique."
McAllister was a dominating pass rusher at Alonso, recording 30 sacks in his final two seasons. A four-star defensive end, McAllister could rely on his size and quickness to frustrate offensive linemen.

You will need to be committed to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 Premium (Est. $150), users say, because the learning curve is steep and can be very frustrating. Reviewers agree that even with a very smart and useful tutorial, it takes some diligence and persistence to make using the software routine.
But for those willing to put in the time, Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium has features that other applications can't touch, including voice-controlled editing, as well as the ability to transcribe audio files, learn contact names and read back transcriptions. Nuance has added 100 features to Version 12, including support for a wider range of commands for email applications, smart formatting and an interactive tutorial. But if you're already a Dragon NaturallySpeaking Premium 11 user, reviewers say you can wait to upgrade. If you are a new user or own an older version (10 or before), then your quest likely ends with Dragon Naturally Speaking 12 Premium.
For home users, many of the features of the powerhouse Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 Premium will be overkill. That's where Dragon NaturallySpeaking Home (Est. $80) comes in. It fits the bill for those who are simply looking for software that allows them to order their PC around without touching a keyboard, post social media updates, go web surfing, and create documents and emails using their existing software.
There are several iterations of Dragon NaturallySpeaking Home on the market: versions 12, 11.5 and 11. Reviews are similar for each, though the features, speed and accuracy have improved slightly from version to version. Version 12 seems to be significantly faster and smarter than the earlier versions. The training doesn't seem to get much easier, though. As with all voice-recognition software, you'll need to spend some time getting to know it before it can really do anything remarkable for you.
If you are a Windows user, a feasible alternative might be Windows Speech Recognition, the program that is integrated with Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. It certainly merits a test before you purchase another program. Reviewers are impressed with the plethora of features and with its speed and accuracy, which some say is as good as Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Lecia Monsen from TopTenReviews.com says she is pleasantly surprised by Windows Speech Recognition because it "… seemed like the kind of software Microsoft would sell separately. We figured that it must not be worth much if they were throwing it in for free."
However, Windows Speech Recognition pales in comparison to Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 Premium. An Amazon customer writes, "Before purchasing Dragon NaturallySpeaking Home 12, I attempted to use the speech recognition program included in Windows 7. I found myself repeating commands over and over until I eventually gave up and began typing."
Yahoo.com's William Ehrendreich reviews both Windows 7 Speech Recognition and Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Premium. The difference is significant. Before using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Premium he writes, "Microsoft Windows 7 Speech Recognition, though quirky, worked most of the time." Once he reviews Dragon NaturallySpeaking, he finds it much more impressive than Windows Speech Recognition, but he still says the latter has its place, considering it's free.
The speech-recognition software market has traditionally been dominated by PC-based applications. Mac users have few options. MacSpeech was a player for a while, but has since been purchased by Nuance Communications, which integrated it with their Dragon line, creating Dragon Dictate 3 for Mac (Est. $170). It's nearly as good as Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 Premium, but it still has some shortcomings. If you are a Mac user, it's definitely your best bet, though.
Dragon Dictate 3 for Mac doesn't have the versatility of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12 Premium. It's geared more toward dictation, though voice commands and voice editing are available. The rules are just a little bit more stringent. Setting up Dragon Dictate is easy, dare we say, even fun, as it takes the time to get to know your voice and speech patterns. You start by reading the instructions as a test script, so you can learn about the software as it's getting to know you.
Compared to Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Dragon Dictate 3 does a better job filtering out extraneous noise. Jill Duffy from PCMag.com writes, "Using a USB microphone, Dragon nailed every word I said, even with a good deal of ambient noise, including a jackhammer pounding away at the sidewalk outside my window."
If you're not planning on doing a lot of dictation, you might try Apple's own voice command software installed on your Mac operating system. It's free, and if you are just looking for basic voice control, it may be suitable for your needs.
Anyone using an older version of Dragon Dictate for Mac might squirm at the idea of spending almost $200 to upgrade when there really isn't a whole lot that is new. Dragon Dictate 3 does seem to be faster than older versions, according to reviews, with very little lag time between speaking words and seeing them in text form. Those folks might be wise to wait for the next generation, which could prove to be a little more earth shattering.

Last week my friend Danielle and had a spontaneous lunch / brunch in Brooklyn. Since I have a car, we drove down from Queens and found parking right near our restaurant of choice: Five Leaves. I'd read a lot about the place and had tried to eat there before, but the wait was always too long for my level of hunger. On this sunny weekday, the wait was only about 15 minutes for an outdoor table for two.
Well worth the wait, Five Leaves serves a mix of Mediterranean and American dishes. They offer many homemade aspects – such as the homemade ricotta, which I still need to try – as well as a unique cocktail menu. After seeing someone else receive the Moroccan Scramble, I knew I had to have it. It includes scrambled eggs with spiced chickpeas and merguez (sausage), on top of grilled sourdough and crushed avocado. This was all topped with slivered peppers and a handful of fresh herbs; I was in heaven and can't wait to go back.

The Kansas City Royals announced Monday that the team won't offer a Major League contract to infielder Chris Getz for 2014.
The decision makes Getz a free agent.
Getz spent four seasons with the Royals after being acquired from the Chicago White Sox. He hit .220 in 209 at-bats with six doubles and one home run. He missed significant playing time the past two seasons due to injuries, and was also sent back to Omaha for part of July.
The Royals made an offer to eight other players who are eligible for arbitration.

A terror travel alert was issued Saturday by the US State Department for the Sochi Olympics, ABC News reported.
The last few months leading up to the games, slated to begin Feb. 7, have seen three suicide bombings with dozens killed, raising fears of terrorist attacks at the Olympics, Fox News reported.
The State Department said the Russians are refusing US help in securing the games, leading to even greater concern for terrorist activity.
Citizens should stay away from large crowds and use caution if any demonstrations take place, the State Department alert said.
In light of this latest development, the question of whether it is wise to send athletes at all should be discussed.
There are 6,000 athletes from 85 countries slated to participate, CNN reported. That includes 224 from the United States, the largest contingent, and 222 from Canada, the second largest, reported Wikipedia.
The reasons to stay home and not participate in the games, scheduled Feb. 7-23, are compelling.
First, take a look at who is not going.
For the first time since 2000, the United States will not send a president, former president, first lady or even vice president to the games, AP reported on FortWayne.com. Janet Napolitano, former secretary of Homeland Security, will lead the American delegation.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has also said he will skip Sochi, the Globe and Mail reported.
In both cases, the reason given is the anti-gay stance of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The US and Canada made a point of sending gay athletes to the games.
But in view of the violence occurring in the lead up to Sochi, it is conceivable that both countries fear it will be impossible to protect its leaders, particularly President Barack Obama.
CNN reported Thursday that 25,000 police officers are to be deployed, plus another 8,000 security forces from various agencies. They are to protect the 6,000 athletes, plus 1,650 Paralympians, as well as delegates from other countries and spectators.
But consider this:
Six men where found dead in four cars and explosive devices were placed outside three of vehicles, although only one bomb went off and no one was hurt, the AP reported Thursday. All were in the volatile Caucasus Mountains area where Islamic insurgency is a constant threat.
This follows two suicide bombings late last month in Volgogard, ABC reported. Thirty-four were killed and many more wounded. Sochi is about 200 miles from the trouble spot.
But Napolitano pointed out that there were safety concerns in 2012 for the Summer Olympics, too.
"If you recall, before London (England), there was all this discussion of security in London," she told the AP.
There is no doubt athletes want to go to the games. They train hard, and there is generally a window of only a few years in the life of an elite athlete. The Winter Olympics are only held every four years.
But then there is the side effect of fearing the terrorists, to the extent that it emboldens them.
Still, the question is whether sport should be put ahead of safety.
If the worst happens, skier Lindsey Vonn may come to see her knee injury not as bad luck, but good.

The Northwestern State Demons baseball team may have nightmares about their trip to LSU on Tuesday night.
The Demons, a small Division-I school from Natchitoches, La., ended up on the wrong side of the record books as the Tigers trounced them, 27-0, in a shortened game.
Northwestern State plays in the Southland Conference.
The team was on a five-game win streak and one game out of first place in their division before their trip to the Bayou.
This is real life. pic.twitter.com/7Kqax8pgjR
— Pod Katt (@valleyshook) May 14, 2014
Five LSU pitchers combined to throw a no-hitter in this game, the team's largest margin of victory in school history.
Jared Poché, Kurt McCune, Nate Fury, Joe Broussard and Kyle Bouman got credit for the no-hitter through six innings before the game was ruled complete early due to lightning in the area.

Lot # 1241 (of 1560) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1921-1931 Babe Ruth Pro Model Bat
Starting Bid - $5,000, Sold For - $21,150
A Babe Ruth bat is one of the most highly prized pieces of baseball memorabilia of any type, and a worthy centerpiece not just to a museum-caliber bat collection, but to any baseball memorabilia collection. It is one of the few items that transcends just memorabilia collecting, and is appreciated by collectors and noncollectors alike. When the National Sports Gallery in Washington displayed a Babe Ruth bat in a manner that allowed anyone to touch the bat, hundreds of thousands of visitors came to do just that. When a genuine Babe Ruth bat is available to hold, collectors and fans are compelled to grip the bat, as the Babe once gripped the bat, and to swing (even if only a "half-swing" in slow motion), as the Babe once swung, to feel the weight and power of the bat, and, maybe, the presence of Babe Ruth's spirit. This Hillerich & Bradsby signature model (pre model #) bat, dating from the 1921-1931 manufacturing period, features a hand-rasped knob and displays light game use, including slight swelling (from hitting balls) and a few cleat marks on the barrel. There is trace evidence of former writing (no longer legible) on the sweet spot of the barrel which does not detract in the least from the bat's display value. (The writing, which appears to be just a single, small word, is barely visible to the naked eye and is mentioned merely for the sake of accuracy.) The manufacturer's stampings are deeply distinct and contrast very strongly against the beautiful natural wood color, giving this example an unusually impressive visual appeal. This is a stunning Babe Ruth bat dating from the peak of Ruth's career and the glory years of the Yankees franchise. Length: 35 inches. Weight: 34.5 ounces. (MEARS notes in its accompanying letter that the bat has probably lost a few ounces over the years, which is common to bats of this age.) Graded A6 by MEARS (5 point base grade plus 1 point for light use). LOA from Troy Kinunen/MEARS. Reserve $5,000. Estimate $10,000+. SOLD FOR $21,150
