Review: Dell Chromebox i3 A Powerful Platform
Dell's latest little box can do big things in the cloud, finds the CRN Test Center.
Dell's latest little box can do big things in the cloud, finds the CRN Test Center.
Samsung's 3-bit vertical NAND flash improves performance and durability, the CRN Test Center finds.
Even with just one processor, Dell's latest departmental server, the PowerEdge R430, outperforms others in its class.
Handsome design, long battery life and versatile off-line capabilities are hallmarks of Samsung's latest Chromebook.
Holding up under pressure and water, GammaTech's latest semi-rugged notebook won't drown the budget.
The new high-end Linksys switch offers aggregation without aggravation.
The newest solid-state drives from Micron blend the speed and endurance of SLC with the low cost of MLC flash.
Even at the low-end, Lenovo offers fast workstation performance and flexible configuration options.
Samsung's updated smartwatch vastly improves the hardware, but an update to its Gear Manager software utility was a complete failure.
Resistance is futile: Hands-free computer could change the thinking of field-service industries.
It might not be bulletproof, but this laptop is as tough as they come.
Samsung's 4K monitor packs a world of features at a sub-$2K price.
The CRN Test Center checks out Philips' first ultra-high-definition monitor and finds it gets most things right.
It's not just safe as in secure; it's a data safe that's easy to use but hard to destroy.
Power-sipping PowerEdge outperforms its predecessor in every way that matters.

Wednesday could be a big up day for a few reasons:
- Friday is the dividend pay date. Most people, institutions, insiders, take the cash rather than auto buy new shares. But there are enough people that do re-invest the dividend. Maybe enough for 30K-40k shares of auto buying. The day that this would be done is Wednesday using the T+3 rule; shares need to be settled to be deposited into your account
- It's the day before earnings. It's probably known by enough people that things are good. You might get some buying ahead of earnings.
- Shorts aren't going to initiate new shorts before the news; too risky if things are blow out.
- the buying may cause margin calls on some of the shorts causing more auto buying.
- lack of shares for sale at any price coupled with buying and no selling could propel this nicely.
How many times do you think Dilbert can make a fool of himself?
tubesteak, I've been watching you say this stock was going to go down since it was at $12 in May.
Another brilliant call Dilbert. Have you ever been right in your entire miserable life?
Well at least you have Peanut Butter Cup to console you at night.
Who is smarter Dilbert or a rock?
The imbecile continues to make a fool of himself by making ridiculous claims. Big day on Wednesday for the stock...yeah right, clown.
The only fan of Dilbert's is Peanut Butter Cup who has shown his lack of intelligence by worshiping the pocket protector of the imbecile.
The two of them really should stick to playing war with their toy figures and celebrating afterwards with milk and cookies.
Don't hold back, beefstu57. Tell us how you really feel. Hahahaha

Guest poster Jeff Hemmel updates his review of the Bontrager Inform saddle — and likes it.
Regular readers may recall that last year I posted a review of the Bontrager InForm RL saddle, a relatively new design that had been getting a lot of attention due not only to Bontrager's "size-to-fit" concept, but also designer's choice to forego a cutout in favor of what they considered proper weight distribution to combat numbness.
Though I was never a gushing fan of the saddle, I was pretty happy with it overall…at least for several months. Then, for reasons that eluded me, I started to get that dreaded numbness. No, it never lasted after I got off the bike thankfully, but it got to be a real pain — literally and figuratively — during nearly every ride. By summer, I was finding it really annoying, and wondering if the seat's foam had somehow broken down.
I asked Trek about it and they asked the obvious questions: had I changed my position, etc. Each time I analyzed the situation I couldn't think of a single thing I had changed. Not my position, not my brand of shorts, nothing. I started to just think the saddle wasn't that hot after all, and began researching alternatives.
A funny thing, however, happened over the winter. Here in Florida, it was one of the coldest in history, and as a result I did a lot of riding bundled up in far more clothing than I normally would. And somewhere in the midst of those cold, windy rides, I began to notice something. The numbness was subsiding. Ultimately, it went away for the most part. And that relative comfort has continued into the spring.
Like an on-again, off-again relationship, my saddle and I are once again an item.
Why the change of heart? At first I had no idea. But after analyzing things for a while, I think I found the answer. And I think part of it is the result of all that cold-weather riding in tights.
No, it wasn't more padding, or a different chamois placement, or anything like that. I continue to wear my regular shorts, pulling on chamois-less Pearl Izumi tights over them. Those tights, however, are made of a more slippery material than my shorts. As a result, I found myself sliding around a little more in my seat. And what I discovered was that I was ultimately settling into a position a little further back of where I had been riding as of late — a position that spread more of my weight on my sit bones at a wider portion of the seat.
Why, or how, had I moved forward? I have no idea. But without any big conscious effort, I was now moving back a fraction more…and finding that riding could once again be a pleasurable experience.
Yes, I occasionally force myself to scoot my butt back just a little on the seat, but for the most part my body has now just adapted to this new position.
Long story short? I once again think the InForm saddle is worth my money, and I'm in no rush to replace it. I also have a fresh appreciation for that advice you so often hear about saddles — they need to support your weight on your sit bones, those two bony parts you feel when you sit on a flat, hard surface, and not on the perineum, that area of soft tissues between your legs that house all those nerves and arteries that you need for other, more important things.
I still think people should try different saddles to see which fit them best, and yes, I think a professional bike fitting is a great idea for any serious cyclist. But if you're just not happy with your saddle, you might want to move around on it a little bit before you go shopping for a new one.
In other words, you might want to put a little work into your current relationship…before it leads to a pricey divorce.
BontragerBontrager originally designed the inForm Nebula Plus saddles for the more upright riding position associated with hybrid and fitness bikes. But we found that anyone who rides upright, be they a mountain biker or a roadie on the new breed of more upright road bikes benefit from the Nebula's design. They feature Flex Form Technology, a rubber elastomer that allows the saddle to rotate subtly from side to side to accommodate the natural movement of your pelvis while pedaling. They also come in 3 different widths that give you superior skeletal support for the ultimate in comfort.$74.99

Father Alberto Cutié never shied away from discussing life's more intimate details from the pulpit. "He said that sex was an important part of marriage and that it was necessary to communicate in the bedroom," says one of his parishioners at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Miami Beach. Cutié's frankness not only endeared him to his flock, it landed him a Spanish-language talk show and even led to a bestseller about relationships, Real Life, Real Love.
But now "real love" is threatening to undermine the spiritual career of "Father Oprah" as he is known. On May 5 a tabloid published pictures of a shirtless Cutié canoodling—despite his vow of celibacy—on a North Miami beach with Ruhama Canellis, a 35-year-old divorcée. After the church relieved Cutié, 40, of his duties, he appeared on the CBS Early Show to explain the photos. "This is someone that I love," said Cutié (pronounced KOO-tee-ay). "This is the only person that I've had sexual contact with."
Although Cutié said there was an "attraction" from the moment they met in church in 1999, he was careful to never be alone with her. Then two years ago, Cutié says, the couple's friendship turned romantic. While he regrets hurting or disappointing those in the church, he makes no excuses. "I never stopped being a man when I put on my cassock," he told one interviewer. "Under the cassock are pants. I am part of the human condition."
The church has given Cutié an ultimatum: Break up with Canellis or leave the priesthood. In an e-mail, he tells PEOPLE that he's taking some "time of prayer and reflection" to make his decision. "He loves this woman and he loves God," says a friend. "It's a very difficult choice."

Aqua Stax
You got Lemmings in my Tetris.
Aqua Stax, a weird amalgam of Tetris and Lemmings, at least looks good enough to eat. The player is called on to drop bright, candy colored blocks to aid one or more tiny climbers in their ascent to the level's exit before they're overtaken by a tide of flourescent goo. It's an idea potential, but the proof is in the pudding. We'll let you know if it tastes as good as it looks as soon as we get a chance to sink our teeth into it a little.

Garbage by Numbers
Exactly how bad will Dallas' curbside trash recycling program have to perform before anyone with city government acknowledges that it just ain't right?
Pretty bad, apparently, judging by the latest numbers in a national survey.
The survey published last month by the trade publication Waste News found that only 2.2 percent of the city's residential waste was recycled. Last year's rate was 4.6 percent. In 2001, it was 19 percent.
Buzz isn't great with numbers, so give us a moment to do some crunching to put those figures in perspective. Lessee, take 19, divide by the cosign, toss in a few logarithms. OK, here goes. The decline, in percentage terms, from 19 to 2.2 percent equals a whole freakin' lot of money down the rat hole.

Forgive the technical jargon. Numbers tend to get a bit slippery when it comes to recycling. The Dallas Observer learned that last year when we tried to figure out just how much the city's recyclers were putting out on the curb ("Garbage In, Garbage Out," by Charles Siderius, May 16). The Observer reported that Community Waste Disposal, the city's privately contracted recycling hauler, was operating with so little oversight that the city had no idea how much was being collected.
We said that it appeared that drivers were taking multiple trips across scales to get multiple credit for the same loads, that the company's scales were tipped in the company's favor and that some drivers invented the number of stops they made.
City officials were not alarmed by our first story. There might have been a slip up or two, but, they said, they were going to put together a recycling task force and were going to have meetings. The city's curbside recycling program, which cost water utility customers about $2.4 million last year, rolled on.
John Barlow, manager of waste diversion for the city's sanitation department, says there are many reasons the recycling rate "appears" to have declined. For instance, Barlow says that the amount of recyclables collected dropped from 35,231 tons in 2001 to 14,033 last year because less metal and fewer tires were collected.
Regardless, performance of Dallas' recycling program is abysmal compared with other cities in the publication's survey.
Nineteen of the 25 cities that Waste News surveyed posted recycling rates in the double digits. Dallas had the lowest recycling rate and the lowest actual amount of materials collected of all but El Paso.
Still, it could be worse. Buzz figures that at the current rate of decline, in another couple of years the city will actually be dropping off bundles of old newspapers and beer bottles at every resident's door.

A difference in leg length is of importance in many orthopedic and postural examinations. It is measured more accurately in the weight bearing position when the patient is standing erect.
Sighting with one's eyes and hands across the iliac crests or the gluteal muscles provides rough estimates, but these usually are too approximate for accurate measurement. A tape measure, while readily available, is neither accurate nor satisfactory to use on patients in the erect position.
A rigid fluoroscopic screen1 with a water level and a wire across the screen is accurate. However, this, besides the expensive apparatus, requires a darkroom and sufficient time for dilation of the pupils, unless a series of cases were being run consecutively.
A simple device that is equally accurate and can be made at a cost of a few dollars is described below. Measurement with this device requires only a few seconds. In addition,

New Orleans - Gunmen opened fire on dozens of people marching in a neighborhood Mother's Day parade in New Orleans on Sunday, wounding at least 19 people.
The shooting shattered the festive mood surrounding the parade that drew hundreds of people to the 7th Ward neighborhood of modest row houses not far from the French Quarter. Cell phone video taken in the aftermath of the shooting shows victims lying on the ground, blood on the pavement and others bending over to help or comfort them.
The FBI said the shooting appeared to be "street violence" and wasn't linked to terrorism.
At least three of the victims were seriously wounded. Of the rest, many were grazed and authorities said that overall most wounds were not life threatening. No deaths were reported.
The victims included 10 men, seven women, a boy and a girl. The children, both 10 years old, were grazed and in good condition.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu urged witnesses to come forward with information during a news conference Sunday night at a hospital where gunshot victims were taken.
"These kinds of incidents will not go unanswered. Somebody knows something. The way to stop this violence is for you all to help," he said.
Mary Beth Romig, a spokeswoman for the FBI in New Orleans, said federal investigators have no indication that the shooting was an act of terrorism.
"It's strictly an act of street violence in New Orleans," she said.
As many as 400 people came out for the second-line procession - a boisterous New Orleans tradition - though only half that many were in the immediate vicinity of the shooting, said Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas. Officers were interspersed with the marchers, which is routine for such events.
Police saw three suspects running from the scene. No arrests had been made as of early evening.
Outside the hospital on Sunday night, Leonard Temple became teary as he talked about a friend who was in surgery after being shot three times during the parade. Temple was told the man was hit while trying to push his own daughter out of the way.
"People were just hanging out. We were just chilling. And this happened. Bad things always happen to good people," said Temple, who was at the parade but didn't see the shootings.
In the late afternoon, the scene was taped off and police had placed bullet casing markers in at least 10 spots.
Second-line parades are loose processions in which people dance down the street, often following behind a brass band. They can be planned events or impromptu offshoots of other celebrations. They trace their origins to the city's famous jazz funerals.
A social club called The Original Big 7 organized Sunday's event. The group was founded in 1996 at the Saint Bernard housing projects, according to its MySpace page.
The neighborhood where the shooting happened is a mix of low-income and middle-class row houses, some boarded up. As of last year, the 7th Ward's population was about 60 percent of its pre-Hurricane Katrina level.
The crime scene was about 1.5 miles from the heart of the French Quarter and near the Treme neighborhood, which has been the centerpiece for the HBO TV series "Treme."
Sunday's violence comes at a time when the city is struggling to pay for tens of millions of dollars required under a federal consent decree to reform the police department and the city jail.
Shootings at parades and neighborhood celebrations have become more common in recent years as the city has struggled with street crime. Earlier this year, four people were shot following an argument in the French Quarter during the last weekend of partying before Mardi Gras. The victims survived, and several suspects were eventually arrested.
Police vowed to make swift arrests. Serpas said it wasn't clear if particular people in the second line were targeted, or if the shots were fired in a random fashion.
"We'll get them. We have good resources in this neighborhood," Serpas said.

By the time they reached the stables, Alek's only concern was tripping in the darkness. The moon was less than half full, and the estate's hunting forests stretched like a black sea across the valley. At this hour even the lights of Prague had died out to a mere inkling.
When Alek saw the walker, a soft cry escaped his lips.
It stood taller than the stable's roof, its two metal feet sunk deep into the soil of the riding paddock. It looked like one of the Darwinist monsters skulking in the darkness.
This wasn't some training machine—it was a real engine of war, a Cyklop Stormwalker. A cannon was mounted in its belly, and the stubby noses of two Spandau machine guns sprouted from its head, which was as big as a smokehouse.
Before tonight Alek had piloted only unarmed runabouts and four-legged training corvettes. Even with his sixteenth birthday almost here, Mother always insisted that he was too young for war machines.
"I'm supposed to pilot that?" Alek heard his own voice break. "My old runabout wouldn't come up to its knee!"
Otto Klopp's gloved hand patted his shoulder heavily. "Don't worry, young Mozart. I'll be at your side."
Count Volger called up to the machine, and its engines rumbled to life, the ground trembling under Alek's feet. Moonlight shivered from the wet leaves in the camouflage nets draped over the Stormwalker, and the mutter of nervous horses came from the stable.
The belly hatch swung open and a chain ladder tumbled out, unrolling as it fell. Count Volger stilled it from swinging, then planted a boot on the lowermost metal rung to hold it steady.
"Young master, if you please."
Alek stared up at the machine. He tried to imagine guiding this monster through the darkness, crushing trees, buildings, and anything else unlucky enough to be in his path.
Otto Klopp leaned closer. "Your father the archduke has thrown us a challenge, me and you. He wants you ready to pilot any machine in the House Guard, even in the middle of the night."
Alek swallowed. Father always said that, with war on the horizon, everyone in the household had to be prepared. And it made sense to begin training while Mother was away. If Alek crashed the walker, the worst bruises might fade before the princess Sophie returned.
But Alek still hesitated. The belly hatch of the rumbling machine looked like the jaws of some giant predator bending down to take a bite.
"Of course, we cannot force you, Your Serene Highness," Count Volger said, amusement in his voice. "We can always explain to your father that you were too scared."
"I'm not scared." Alek grabbed the ladder and hoisted himself up. The sawtooth rungs gripped his gloves as Alek climbed past the anti-boarding spikes arrayed along the walker's belly. He crawled into the machine's dark maw, the smell of kerosene and sweat filling his nose, the engines' rhythm trembling in his bones.
"Welcome aboard, Your Highness," a voice said. Two men waited in the gunners' cabin, steel helmets glittering. A Stormwalker carried a crew of five, Alek recalled. This wasn't some little three-man runabout. He almost forgot to return their salutes.
Count Volger was close behind him on the ladder, so Alek kept climbing up into the command cabin. He took the pilot's seat, strapping himself in as Klopp and Volger followed.
He placed his hands on the saunters, feeling the machine's awesome power trembling in his fingers. Strange to think that these two small levers could control the walker's huge metal legs.
"Vision at full," Klopp said, cranking the viewport open as wide as it would go. The cool night air spilled into the Stormwalker's cabin, and moonlight fell across dozens of switches and levers.
The four-legged corvette he'd piloted the month before had needed only control saunters, a fuel gauge, and a compass. But now uncountable needles were arrayed before him, shivering like nervous whiskers.
What were they all for?
He pulled his eyes from the controls and stared through the viewport. The distance to the ground gave him a queasy feeling, like peering down from a hayloft with thoughts of jumping.
The edge of the forest loomed only twenty meters away. Did they really expect him to pilot this machine through those dense trees and tangled roots … at night?
"At your pleasure, young master," Count Volger said, sounding bored already.
Alek set his jaw, resolving not to provide the man with any more amusement. He eased the saunters forward, and the huge Daimler engines changed pitch as steel gears bit, grinding into motion.
The Stormwalker rose from its crouch slowly, the ground slipping still farther away. Alek could see across the treetops now, all the way to shimmering Prague.
He pulled the left saunter back and pushed the right forward. The machine lumbered into motion with an inhumanly large step, pressing him back into the pilot's seat.
The right pedal rose a little as the walker's foot hit soft ground, nudging Alek's boot. He twisted at the saunters, transferring weight from one foot to the other. The cabin swayed like a tree house in a high wind, lurching back and forth with each giant step. A chorus of hissing came from the engines below, gauges dancing as the Stormwalker's pneumatic joints strained against the machine's weight.
"Good … excellent," Otto muttered from the commander's seat. "Watch your knee pressure, though."
Alek dared a glance down at the controls, but had no idea what Master Klopp was talking about. Knee pressure? How could anyone keep track of all those needles without driving the whole contraption into a tree?
"Better," the man said a few steps later. Alek nodded dumbly, overjoyed that he hadn't tipped them over yet.
Already the forest was looming up, filling the wide-open viewport with a dark tangle of shapes. The first glistening branches swept past, thwacking at the viewport, spattering Alek with cold showers of dew.
"Shouldn't we spark up the running lights?" he asked.
Klopp shook his head. "Remember, young master? We're pretending we don't want to be spotted."
"Revolting way to travel," Volger muttered, and Alek wondered again why the man was here. Was there to be a fencing lesson after this? What sort of warrior-Mozart was his father trying to make him into?
The shriek of grinding gears filled the cabin. The left pedal snapped up against Alek's foot, and the whole machine tipped ominously forward.
"You're caught, young master!" Otto said, hands ready to snatch the saunters away.
"I know!" Alek cried, twisting at the controls. He slammed the machine's right foot down midstride, its knee joint spitting air like a train whistle. The Stormwalker wavered drunkenly for a moment, threatening to fall. But long seconds later Alek felt the machine's weight settle into the moss and dirt. It was balanced with one foot stretching back, like a fencer posing after a lunge.
He pushed on both saunters, the left leg pulling at whatever had entangled it, the right straining forward. The Daimler engines groaned, and metal joints hissed. Finally a shudder passed through the cabin, along with the satisfying sound of roots tearing from the ground— the Stormwalker rising up. It stood high for a moment, like a chicken on one leg, then stepped forward again.
Alek's shaking hands guided the walker through its next few strides.
"Well done, young master!" Otto cried. He clapped his hands once.
"Thank you, Klopp," Alek said in a dry voice, feeling sweat trickle down his face. His hands clenched the saunters tight, but the machine was walking smoothly again.
Gradually he forgot that he was at the controls, feeling the steps as if they were his own. The sway of the cabin settled into his body, the rhythms of gears and pneumatics not so different from his runabout's, only louder. Alek had even begun to see patterns in the flickering needles of the control panel—a few leapt into the red with every footfall, easing back as the walker straightened. Knee pressure, indeed.
But the sheer power of the machine kept him anxious. Heat from the engines built in the cabin, the night air blowing in like cold fingers. Alek tried to imagine what piloting would be like in battle, with the viewport half shut against flying bullets and shrapnel.
Finally the pine branches cleared before them, and Klopp said, "Turn here and we'll have better footing, young master."
"Isn't this one of Mother's riding paths?" Alek said. "She'll have my hide if we track it up!" Whenever one of Princess Sophie's horses stumbled on a walker footprint, Master Klopp, Alek, and even Father felt her wrath for days.
But he eased back on the throttle, grateful for a moment of rest, bringing the Stormwalker to a halt on the trail. Inside his piloting jacket Alek was soaked with sweat.
"Disagreeable in every way, Your Highness," Volger said. "But necessary if we're to make good time tonight."
Alek turned to Otto Klopp and frowned. "Make good time? But this is just practice. We're not going anywhere, are we?"
Klopp didn't answer, his eyes glancing up at the count. Alek pulled his hands from the saunters and swiveled the pilot's chair around.
"Volger, what's going on?"
The wildcount stared down at him in silence, and Alek felt suddenly very alone out here in the darkness.
His mind began to replay his father's warnings: How some nobles believed that Alek's muddled lineage threatened the empire. That one day the insults might turn into something worse… .
But these men couldn't be traitors. Volger had held a sword to his throat a thousand times in fencing practice, and his master of mechaniks? Unthinkable.
"Where are we going, Otto? Explain this at once."
"You're to come with us, Your Highness," Otto Klopp said softly.
"We have to get as far away from Prague as possible," Volger said. "Your father's orders."
"But my father isn't even …" Alek gritted his teeth and swore. What a fool he'd been, tempted into the forest with tales of midnight piloting, like luring a child with candy. The whole household was asleep, his parents away in Sarajevo.
Alek's arms were still tired from fighting to keep the Stormwalker upright, and strapped into the pilot's chair he could hardly draw his knife. He closed his eyes—he'd left the weapon back in his room, under the pillow.
"The archduke left instructions," Count Volger said.
"You're lying!" Alek shouted.
"I wish we were, young master." Volger reached into his riding jacket.
A surge of panic swept into Alek, cutting through his despair. His hands shot to the unfamiliar controls, searching for the distress whistle's cord. They couldn't be far from home yet. Surely someone would hear the Stormwalker's shriek.
Otto jumped into motion, grabbing Alek's arms. Volger swept a flask from his jacket and forced its open mouth to Alek's face. A sweet smell filled the cabin, sending his mind spinning. He tried not to breathe, struggling against the larger men.
Then his fingers found the distress cord and pulled—
But Master Klopp's hands were already at the controls, spilling the Stormwalker's pneumatic pressure. The whistle let out only a miserable descending wail, like a teakettle pulled from the fire.
Alek still struggled, holding his breath for what felt like minutes, but finally his lungs rebelled. He scooped in a ragged breath, the sharp scent of chemicals filling his head …
A cascade of bright spots fell across the instruments, and a weight seemed to lift from Alek's shoulders. He felt as though he were floating free of the men's grasp, free of the seat straps—free of gravity, even.
"My father will have your heads," he managed to croak.
"Alas not, Your Highness," Count Volger said. "Your parents are both dead, murdered this night in Sarajevo."
Alek tried to laugh at this absurd statement, but the world twisted sideways under him, darkness and silence crashing down.|Leviathan
The Austrian horses glinted in the moonlight, their riders standing tall in the saddle, swords raised. Behind them two ranks of diesel-powered walking machines stood ready to fire, cannon aimed over the heads of the cavalry. A zeppelin scouted no-man's-land at the center of the battlefield, its metal skin sparkling.
The French and British infantry crouched behind their fortifications—a letter opener, an ink jar, and a line of fountain pens—knowing they stood no chance against the might of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But a row of Darwinist monsters loomed behind them, ready to devour any who dared retreat.
The attack had almost begun when Prince Aleksandar thought he heard someone outside his door… .
He took a guilty step toward his bed—then froze in place, listening hard. Trees stirred in a soft breeze outside, but otherwise the night was silent. Mother and Father were in Sarajevo, after all. The servants wouldn't dare disturb his sleep.
Alek turned back to his desk and began to move the cavalry forward, grinning as the battle neared its climax. The Austrian walkers had completed their bombardment, and it was time for the tin horses to finish off the woefully outnumbered French. It had taken all night to set up the attack, using an imperial tactics manual borrowed from Father's study.
It seemed only fair that Alek have some fun while his parents were off watching military maneuvers. He'd begged to be taken along, to see the mustered ranks of soldiers striding past in real life, to feel the rumble of massed fighting machines through the soles of his boots.
It was Mother, of course, who had forbidden it—his studies were more important than "parades," as she called them. She didn't understand that military exercises had more to teach him than musty old tutors and their books. One day soon Alek might be piloting one of those machines.
War was coming, after all. Everyone said so.
The last tin cavalry unit had just crashed into the French lines when the soft sound came from the hallway again: jingling, like a ring of keys.
Alek turned, peering at the gap beneath his bed chamber's double doors. Shadows shifted along the sliver of moonlight, and he heard the hiss of whispers.
Someone was right outside.
Silent in bare feet, he swiftly crossed the cold marble floor, sliding into bed just as the door creaked open. Alek narrowed his eyes to a slit, wondering which of the servants was checking on him.
Moonlight spilled into the room, making the tin soldiers on his desk glitter. Someone slipped inside, graceful and dead silent. The figure paused, staring at Alek for a moment, then crept toward his dresser. Alek heard the wooden rasp of a drawer sliding open.
His heart raced. None of the servants would dare steal from him!
But what if the intruder were something worse than a thief? His father's warnings echoed in his ears… .
You have had enemies from the day you were born.
A bell cord hung next to his bed, but his parents' rooms were empty. With Father and his bodyguard in Sarajevo, the closest sentries were quartered at the other end of the trophy hall, fifty meters away.
Alek slid one hand under his pillow, until his fingers touched the cold steel of his hunting knife. He lay there holding his breath, grasping the handle tightly, repeating to himself his father's other watchword.
Surprise is more valuable than strength.
Another figure came through the door then, boots clomping, a piloting jacket's metal clips jingling like keys on a ring. The figure tromped straight toward his bed.
"Young master! Wake up!"
Alek let go of the knife, expelling a sigh of relief. It was just old Otto Klopp, his master of mechaniks.
The first figure began rifling through the dresser, pulling at clothes.
"The young prince has been awake all along," Wildcount Volger's low voice said. "A bit of advice, Your Highness? When pretending to be asleep, it is advisable not to hold one's breath."
Alek sat up and scowled. His fencing master had an annoying knack for seeing through deception.
"What's the meaning of this?"
"You're to come with us, young master," Otto mumbled, studying the marble floor. "The archduke's orders."
"My father? He's back already?"
"He left instructions," Count Volger said with the same infuriating tone he used during fencing lessons. He tossed a pair of Alek's trousers and a piloting jacket onto the bed.
Alek stared at them, half outraged and half confused.
"Like young Mozart," Otto said softly. "In the arch-duke's stories."
Alek frowned, remembering Father's favorite tales about the great composer's upbringing. Supposedly Mozart's tutors would wake him in the middle of the night, when his mind was raw and defenseless, and thrust musical lessons upon him. It all sounded rather disrespectful to Alek.
He reached for the trousers. "You're going to make me compose a fugue?"
"An amusing thought," Count Volger said. "But please make haste."
"We have a walker waiting behind the stables, young master." Otto's worried face made an attempt at a smile. "You're to take the helm."
"A walker?" Alek's eyes widened. Piloting was one part of his studies he'd gladly get out of bed for. He slipped quickly into the clothes.
"Yes, your first night lesson!" Otto said, handing Alek his boots.
Alek pulled them on and stood, then fetched his favorite pilot's gloves from the dresser, his footsteps echoing on the marble floor.
"Quietly now." Count Volger stood by the chamber doors. He cracked them and peered out into the hall.
"We're to sneak out, Your Highness!" Otto whispered. "Good fun, this lesson! Just like young Mozart!"
The three of them crept down the trophy hall, Master Klopp still clomping, Volger gliding along in silence. Paintings of Alek's ancestors, the family who had ruled Austria for six hundred years, lined the hallway, their subjects staring down with unreadable expressions. The antlers of his father's hunting trophies cast tangled shadows, like a moonlit forest. Every footstep was magnified by the stillness of the castle, and questions echoed in Alek's mind.
Wasn't it dangerous, piloting a walker at night? And why was his fencing master coming along? Count Volger preferred swords and horses over soulless mechaniks, and had little tolerance for commoners like old Otto. Master Klopp had been hired for his piloting skills, not his family name.
"Volger …," Alek began.
"Quiet, boy!" the wildcount spat.
Anger flashed inside Alek, and a curse almost burst from his mouth, even if it ruined their stupid game of sneaking out.
It was always like this. To the servants he might be "the young archduke," but nobles like Volger never let Alek forget his position. Thanks to his mother's common blood, he wasn't fit to inherit royal lands and titles. His father might be heir to an empire of fifty million souls, but Alek was heir to nothing.
Volger himself was only a wildcount—no farmlands to his name, just a bit of forest—but even he could feel superior to the son of a lady-in-waiting.
Alek managed to stay quiet, though, letting his anger cool as they stole through the vast and darkened banquet kitchens. Years of insults had taught him how to bite his tongue, and disrespect was easier to swallow with the prospect of piloting ahead.
One day he would have his revenge. Father had promised. The marriage contract would be changed somehow, and Alek's blood made royal.
Even if it meant defying the emperor himself.

The story follows the lives of Deryn and Alek. Deryn is a young woman desperate to join the Air Men of the Darwinists Army (British Empire/France). With the help of her brother, she disguises herself as a boy and joins the fight. She has excellent Air Sense, which is a must for the Darwinists, since their main type of weaponry are flying airships made of living animals, with each animal in the ecosystem playing its part. The Leviathan is an airship made up of a countless number of animals - from the smallest microscopic animal to a giant whale that contains everything.
Alek's parents, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, have been assassinated, leaving Alek on the run for his life. The Austro-Hungarian Empire/Germany wants him dead in order to ensure the end of the bloodline to the throne. Alek's people are referred to as the Clankers because of the loud noises that come from their form of weaponry - swords, cannons, aeroplanes, and, most exciting, walkers. Picture a huge tank with legs instead of treads.
Both Deryn and Alek are dedicated to their causes, and when they are thrust into the same fight and forced to work together, both must take a look at the world around them and see things from the other's perspective.
The ending really leaves the reader hanging, and not necessarily in a good way.Read more ›
Along his journey Alex meets Deryn, a young girl posing as a male soldier in the British air service. All her life Deryn wanted to fly. Her father would take her up in an air ballon, she had excellent air sense. After her father dies, Deryn feels forced to be a proper lady. She always loved to fly, her only problem was girls were not allowed into the air service. With the help of her brother, Deryn disguises herself and is accepted into the service. Their worlds collide and an alliance is formed despite being on the opposite sides.
The characters were really great, I really enjoyed this novel. It was my first steampunk novel and I'm very excited to read the next one in the series. Westerfeld created a great original novel. I highly recommend it. The illustrations are amazing, it really helped create the world for me. Keith Thompson did an outstanding job!
Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld
Characterization: 7/10
Two of the main characters of this novel are Prince Aleksander, would-be heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and Deryn Sharp, a commoner disguised as a boy in the British Air Service. Aleksander's struggle to do the right thing is easy to relate to, whereas Deryn is a spunky character who is easy like. The use of both a male and female heroine is sure to please teenage readers as there will always be someone for them empathize with. Although neither character is particularly well-developed, they perform their narrative functions well (as do the various secondary characters). I do look forward to seeing how they change and evolve in future novels.
Plotting and Pacing: 8/10
Scott Westerfeld does a great job here. The novel starts off quickly enough and once events are set into motion he doesn't let up. While this kind of writing is almost a necessity for writing YA, I found it refreshing. There was always enough conflict to keep me reading and enough slow moments to help establish character and further explore the setting. My one complaint is with regards to the novel's ending. I am used to massive forest-destroying tomes where a LOT happens in one book, instead of being broken into multiple volumes.Read more ›

BURTON, Mich. — Police said a special-needs student who passed away after he stopped breathing on his school bus appears to have died from complications from cerebral palsy, according to a story on mlive.com.
In the afternoon on April 15, police were called to the student's home after the bus driver called 911. Police Lt. Mike Odette told the news outlet that aides noticed a problem when they were trying to get him off of the bus and into his residence. A police officer attempted to perform CPR on the boy until emergency medical personnel arrived. He was then transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Genesee Intermediate School District spokesman Jerry Johnson said two transportation aides and another student were on the bus at the time of the incident.

DescriptionDo you have a dream of owning a little farm with a woods, farm land and an orchard? This 25 acres between Glenford and the I-70 SR 13 exit may be just what you're looking for! The orchard has two varieties of apples, Golden Delicious and Red Delicious. The orchard also has pears, grapes and peaches. If you love wildlife and hunting, you'll love the way the orchard attracts deer, this is a great hunting property!
The home is a newly remodeled 1994 manufactured home of 1836 square feet, featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with a wood burning fireplace. The master bath features a skylight above the garden tub.
The deck in the rear overlooks a panoramic view of the county landscape. The home is heated by a wood-burning outside furnace.
The woods have plenty of downed timber to burn in the fireplace/furnace. There are new trails through the woods. There are a lot of deer sign/tracks throughout the woods. The woods contain some nice trees, but not much marketable timber! There is a little creek that runs through the woods.
If you like ravines, you will find some toward the rear of the property.
A 40' x56' barn is included with the property. 80 percent of the barn floor is concrete, the remaining floor area is dirt. The part of the barn with the concrete floor has been utilized as a garage.
The orchard and grape arbor is blessed with a 10' x 30' shelter/picnic house with electric service.
There are 2 ponds on the property; both are in the yard before you get to the woods.
So, this farm has a wide variety of assets, including tillable land (a few acres), pasture, woods, great orchard, grape arbor, large pole barn, shelter/picnic house, outside wood furnace, nice home and 2 ponds.
You will find this farm at the north end of Perry County where Buckeye Lake and I-70 are close by. Northern LSD. The mineral rights transfer.
The real estate taxes are $1890.34 per year.
This property is suitable for a family with or without a hunter, and it is a snoozing Utica Shale gamble, but don't blame us if you come up dry.
The woods are suitable for ATV's, as it has both flat and hilly areas.

Deadline Extended: 2008 American Studies Association of Turkey Conference - Adapting America/America Adapted
Conference Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
American Studies Association of Turkey
33rd Annual American Studies Conference
Adapting America/America Adapted
October 8 – 10, 2008
Bogazici University
Istanbul, Turkey
This conference seeks to define a new agenda for adaptation studies, specifically, as a branch of American Studies that not only encompasses literature and visual media, but also a wide-range of subject areas including, but not limited to, history, anthropology, political science, philosophy, sociology, the performing arts, and cultural/ethnic studies. By looking at adaptation specifically in relation to the United States, we seek to investigate a variety of culturally and historically transformative strategies. We also seek to examine how the process of adaptation has been influenced by social, ideological and political factors both inside and outside the United States.
While, traditionally, adaptation refers to the transformation of literary texts into different forms of media (e.g., films and television programs), the concept of adaptation can also be applied to other disciplines. Historians engage in process of negotiating or "adapting" various histories, or dialogues, when they tell the story of a nation; politicians adapt/adopt different philosophies, at different times, to suit their particular interests; and artists and musicians adapt/adopt a broad range of cultural signifiers when creating new works, conventions, and/or trends.
The American Studies Association of Turkey invites proposals that consider adaptation, broadly conceived. We particularly encourage proposals which incorporate transdisciplinary explorations of adaptation, and welcome proposals from any field of study. Possible themes include, but are not limited to:
• Processes/purposes of adaptation
• Adaptation and its motives (e.g., intentionality)
• Adapting history for political reasons/historical reinvention
• Popular history: creation and reception
• Foreign policy and adaptation
• Audience and adaptation
• Trans or intercultural adaptation
• Cultural outcomes/products of adaptation (hybridity, creolization, metissage, mestizaje)
• Racial adaptation ("passing")
• Musical adaptation (e.g., sampling in rap music)
• Artistic adaptation
• Cross-cultural adaptation (e.g., African elements in American Jazz/Blues)
• Lingual adaptation (e.g., ebonics)
• Transformation/transmutation of ideas
• (Re)creation/simulacra
• Mimicry, authenticity, and adaptation
• Forced adaptation (e.g., colonization, imperialism)
• Americanization, assimilation, acculturation
• Indigenous adaptation
• Identity and adaptation
• The appeal/limits of adaptation
• Sex/gender adaptation (e.g., transvestitism, berdachism)
• Conscious adaptation (e.g., metafiction)
• Self-writing (e.g., transforming personal experiences into literature)
• Biopics
• Pastiches/parodies/satire
• Literature/film adaptation
• Video/board games and popular songs based on classic films and/or literary texts
• Architectural adaptation
• Semiotics of adaptation
• Psychological/emotional adaptation
• Pedagogical applications of adaptation
The time allowance for all presentations is 20 minutes. An additional 10 minutes will be provided for discussion.
Proposals for papers, panels, performances, exhibits, and other modes of creative expression should be sent to both Louis Mazzari (email@example.com) and Tanfer Emin Tunc (firstname.lastname@example.com) and should consist of a 250 - 300 word abstract in English, as well as a 1 - 2 paragraph biographical description for each participant.
• Deadline for submission of proposals: June 30, 2008
• Notification for acceptance of proposals: August 15, 2008
In Cooperation with the Embassy of the United States and the Literature Film Association

TV Ratings: NBC's Giants-Bears game holds off 'Housewives,' 'Boss' on Sunday
'Desperate Housewives' was up from its premiere last week
The New York Giants battered the Chicago Bears on Sunday night, while NBC's NFL action helped the network batter its network rivals.
Among adults 18-49, NBC averaged a 5.7 rating for the night, topping the 4.3 rating for FOX in the key demographic. CBS' 3.2 rating and the 2.9 rating for ABC trailed.
Overall, NBC averaged an estimated 15.26 million viewers to go with a 9.2 rating/15 share. CBS was second with 12.03 million viewers and a 7.3/12. FOX averaged 9.63 million viewers for third, with ABC's 9.5 million viewers coming in fourth (ABC had the advantage in ratings and share, 5.8/9 to 5.6/9, not that that means anything).
NFL overrun helped FOX control the 7 p.m. hour with 14.27 million viewers and a 6.0 demo rating. CBS' "60 Minutes" (and a sliver of NFL overrun in some of the country) did 12.48 million viewers for second. NBC's "Football Night in America" averaged 7.175 million viewers, edging out the 7.06 million for ABC's "America's Funniest Home Videos."
The start of NBC's football coverage averaged 17.37 million viewers and a 6.3 demo rating in the 8 p.m. hour. CBS was second overall with 10.73 million viewers for "The Amazing Race." ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" was third overall with 8.63 million viewers, but fourth in the demo. FOX's "The Simpsons" and "The Cleveland Show" averaged 7.62 million viewers and moved up to second in the demo with a 3.6 rating.
The Giants and Bears improved to 19.5 million viewers and a 7.2 demo rating in the 9 p.m. hour. CBS' "Undercover Boss" averaged 13.08 million viewers. ABC's "Desperate Housewives" averaged 13.05 million viewers for a close third overall and did a 4.3 demo rating for second on the hour, beating CBS. [After a Thursday and Friday where everything was down across-the-board, it should be noted that "Desperate Housewives" was up from its premiere last week.] FOX's "Family Guy" (7.94 million) and the premiere of "American Dad" (6.05 million) were fourth.
NBC stayed in first in the 10 p.m. hour with 17.01 million viewers and a 6.9 demo rating for ongoing football coverage. CBS' "CSI: Miami" averaged 11.84 million viewers and also finished second in the demo with a 3.2 rating. ABC was third with the 9.27 million viewers for "Brothers & Sisters."
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change, particularly in the case of live events.

Peninsula Believed To Be Homer's Ithaca, Odysseus' HomeBreaking News
The long-lost city of Ithaca, home of the legendary hero Odysseus in the "Iliad" and "Odyssey," is on the island of Cephalonia off the western shore of Greece, three British researchers said Thursday.
The original contours of Ithaca have been distorted over the millenniums by a series of earthquakes that raised land levels, converting it into a peninsula of Cephalonia called Paliki.
The researchers said the topographic changes hid Ithaca's identity from generations of historians and archeologists who traced Odysseus' epic journey around 1200 BC.
The team, led by Robert Bittlestone, chairman of management consulting firm Metapraxis, has identified the locations of 26 sites in Ithaca mentioned by Homer, they said.
" 'The Odyssey' fits Paliki like a glove," Bittlestone said at a London news conference for "Odysseus Unbound," a new book describing the discovery.
His co-authors are historian James Diggle of the University of Cambridge and geologist John Underhill of Edinburgh University. The next step is to dig for traces of Odysseus' castle and city as soon as the group can secure sufficient funding.
The search for the location of Ithaca has been in progress at least since the time of the 1st century Greek historian Strabo, who placed it east of Cephalonia (Kefallinia in Greek), on the modern-day island of Ithaca (Ithiki in Greek).

The multinodular goiter is associated with the complications of malignant disease and hyperthyroidism. The important indications for surgery include large glands that may or may not be toxic and those with a hard or tender dominant nodule or with the signs suspicious of cancer including hardness, fixation, pressure symptoms, enlarged satellite lymph nodes, and lack of improvement on thyroid therapy. Thyroid scans are helpful when positive but useless if equivocal. Selection of patients for observation, or substitution therapy, or operation, must rest upon these individual considerations.
