What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Med
My son loves this coat. It's warm and versatile. He can wear the liner by itself and its very stylish.
Nice features, but bulkier than expected
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
Really nicely designed 3-in-1 system, best combination of features that I found: lots of pockets, pit zips, snow skirt, removable hood (doesn't store in collar though); zip-in insulated lining warm but not too bulky. Colors and patterns nice looking (I ordered the Monument Grey blue accents). But shell was quite bulky (even though removable liner was not) -- I think it was true to size (medium), but just cut more like a parka than a jacket for sports or other outdoor activities. It felt like I was wearing a big potato sack -- even without the liner -- so I would definitely classify it as a "relaxed" fit. (My wife said it made me look "dumpy"... ) So I ended up returning it and ordered a regular rain shell instead.
Great jacket
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Med.
I bought this vortex 3 in 1 jacket after buying and returning Patagonia's better sweater 3 in 1. While the H2 No fabric may be better than the Hyvent material, the pockets and features on the north face jacket are clearly more suited for my needs- it's a versatile jacket that I can wear skiing and hiking in a variety of conditions, and the shell and liner will work in the spring and fall for me here in New England. The north face Medium fit is so much better for me as well at 5'8" / 150 lbs. It was rated as a best buy by some outdoor magazine too. Price wise, the North Face was a clear winner over the Marmot and Arcteryx counterparts, so unless this jacket bombs out on the slopes next winter ( I didn't get to test it in really cold weather this winter), I will be very happy about this great Back Country purchase!
Warm and light.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Finally found a warm jacket I can use in very cold weather. One turn off, no inside pockets.
north face jacket
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
this coat is very warm, it keeps me warm on those real cold mornings and I love the way I can have more than one jacket out of it all
Fits great and very versatile
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
I usually wear a large, and occasionally a large-tall, but the jacket fits perfectly. Though we've had a mild winter in Chicago terms, it has kept me warm all winter. The liner alone is very warm, and combined with the outer shell it keeps me warm down to single digits. All the pockets and versatility you'll ever need.
good jacket not warm enough for under 30
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: medium
Very good looking jacket which you can seperate inner and outer jacket and used on different seasons.
Outer shell is very nice and waterproof and tough Hyvent dual layer to withstand snow and rain.
Inner layer can be worn on warm and dry day.
all nice except cannot be used under 30degrees outside.
You will have to wear layers inside or wear thicker jacket.
I changed it for a mountain light jacket, if you want light weight warm jacket to be used above 30 degrees.
Fantastic warm jacket
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Keeps warm in very cold weather!
Too Wet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
Bought this jacket last season for a big ski trip to Park City and Jackson Hole. Had a couple of snow days, and the jacket was straight up soaked through. Most of the zippers just let water through. I had some stuff in the pockets that wasn't just damp, it was wet. Very displeasing. Also the interior "media pockets" had only a small piece of velcro to keep them closed. All around miss by The North Face.
I think since it is advertised as a waterproof coat and it did not meet the specs, you should be able to return it for a refund.
Is the hood on this product removable?
Hey Paul - The hood on this Vortex Jacket is removable. Feel free to contact me directly with any additional questions. - Kyle L. - Expert Gearhead
Does the Asphalt Grey/TNF Black/TNF red jacket come with the same red liner that the north face website shows? (Just check because I don't see it in the pictures.)

'Woody Sez' delivers Guthrie's populist message with gusto
Bruce Springsteen — one of many musicians, from Bob Dylan to Kacey Musgraves, who are unimaginable as we know them without Woody Guthrie — once described Guthrie's music as "the core of what it means to be an American," adding that "such songs don't get written anymore, because no one knows how to write them."
That's reason enough to applaud the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's decision to give us a two-month run of "Woody Sez," in which a quartet of superb musicians offers us a glimpse of the man and his music. It opened Sunday night in the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article

This Application is a Continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/930,322 filed Aug. 31, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,224,631, which is commonly assigned and incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates generally to memory devices and in particular the present invention relates to refresh operations in a dynamic random access memory device.
Memory devices are typically provided as internal, semiconductor, integrated circuits in computers or other electronic devices. There are many different types of memory including random-access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM).
DRAMs use one or more arrays of memory cells arranged in rows and columns. Each of the rows of memory cells is activated by a corresponding row line that is selected from a row address. A pair of complementary digit lines are provided for each column of the array and a sense amplifier coupled to the digit lines for each column is enabled responsive to a respective column address. The sense amplifier senses a small voltage differential between the digit lines and amplifies such voltage differential.
The digit lines of each column are typically precharged to one-half the supply voltage VCC prior to being coupled to a memory cell. Coupling the memory cell to the digit line causes the voltage on the digit line to increase slightly above the VCC/2 level or decrease slightly below the VCC/2 level in response to the memory cell status.
The sense amplifier compares this altered voltage to the voltage VCC/2 on the complementary digit line and drives the digit line that is coupled to the memory cell to the full high or low logic level. This restores the voltage on the memory cell to the voltage corresponding to the logic level that is stored in the memory cell. The logic level stored in the memory cell can then be read by determining the differential voltage between the digit lines.
As is well known in the art, DRAM memory cells must be periodically refreshed to avoid loss of data. The memory cells in a row can be refreshed by simply coupling the memory cells in the row to one of the digit lines after enabling the sense amplifiers. The sense amplifiers then restore the voltage level on the memory cell capacitor to a voltage level corresponding to the stored data bit. The permissible time between refresh cycles without losing data depends on various factors such as rate of charge dissipation in the memory capacitor. It is desirable to reduce the number of refresh cycles in a memory device since such a reduction also reduces the number of interruptions required of a system controller to service the refresh.
One way to extend the data retention time while also reducing the required refresh cycles for the memory cells is for a DRAM to operate in a half-density mode. When a DRAM is operated in a half-density mode, two addresses are actually refreshed for every one address that is accessed while reducing the periodicity of the refresh commands.
However, one problem with the half-density mode of operation in a DRAM is that double charge dumping occurs to the sense amplifier during each refresh cycle due to the two memory addresses being accessed. Therefore, the current requirements for the memory device operating in the half-density mode are greater than a memory device having a density comparable to the reduced size of the half-density mode device. Additionally, such an increase in current during these refresh cycles may violate some current specifications for certain memory devices.
For the reasons stated above, and for other reasons stated below which will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the present specification, there is a need in the art for a way to implement half-density mode in a memory device without an increase in power requirements.
In the following detailed description of the invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof and in which is shown, by way of illustration, specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. In the drawings, like numerals describe substantially similar components throughout the several views. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. Other embodiments may be utilized and structural, logical, and electrical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
Similarly, even though the embodiments of the present invention are discussed in relation to a 1 Gigabyte SDRAM, the present invention is not limited to any one memory density part. For example, a 2 GB SDRAM may be operated in the half-density mode as a 1 GB SDRAM.
The SDRAM includes row and column address buffers 132 and 134 that receive time-multiplexed row and column addresses, respectively. The SDRAM also includes a command decoder 124 that receives control signals from a controller circuit 190. The controller circuit 190 may be a processor, microprocessor, or some other type of controller circuit that generates the memory control signals.
The control signals can include a row address strobe signal (RAS*), a column address strobe signal (CAS*), a write enable signal (WE*), a clock signal (CLK), and a clock enable signal (CKE). As is well known in the art, various combinations of these control signals correspond to respective memory commands such as activate, read write, precharge, corresponding to the memory commands, including a read command and a write command. Two of the control signals generated by the command decoder 124 are an internal row address strobe signal (IRAS) and an internal column address strobe signal (ICAS*).
As is well known in the art, the address buffers 132 and 134 may comprise any circuitry for buffering and/or driving memory addresses, including, for example, pre-decoders and array buffers. Also, it will be understood that the SDRAM may receive any number of address bits in any configuration, including both multiplexed and non-multiplexed addressing schemes.
The SDRAM can operate in either a full-density mode or a half-density mode. In the full-density mode, in response to an activate or auto-refresh command (implemented by specific combinations of command signals applied to the command decoder 124 from the controller circuit 190), the row address buffers 132 operate in a well known manner to latch in a first plurality of address bits A0, A1, . . . , Az from the memory address bus. The address buffers 132 output a corresponding row address (RA) that includes row address bits RA0, RA1, . . . , RAz.
A sense amplifier 100 equilibrates voltages on a pair of complementary digit lines D0 and D0* to a predetermined voltage. In the full-density mode, a density control circuit 136 outputs an active high half-density HD signal to the row address buffers 132. In the half-density mode, the density control circuit 136 outputs an active high half-density HD signal to the row address buffers 132 to disable address (RA13) that is not used in the half-density mode. The density control circuit 136 may be, for example, a conventional mode register or a bank of programmable elements, such as anti-fuses. The control of the density control circuit 136, in one embodiment, is from the command decoder 124.
If the word line WL0 is energized, an NMOS transistor 150 is activated in a memory cell 150/154 in the array 148 through a control terminal 153 of the NMOS transistor 150. The array 148 is shown in
As a result of the NMOS transistor 150 being activated, a storage capacitor 154 storing a positive charge that represents a logical "1" bit, for example, is connected to the digit line D0 through the activated NMOS transistor 150 and an access terminal 155 (e.g., a digit line contact). Even though only one pair of complementary digit lines, D0 and D0*, and only one sense amplifier 100 are shown in
When the storage capacitor 154 is connected to the digit line D0 through the activated NMOS transistor 150 and the access terminal 155, the capacitor 154 discharges its positive charge to the digit line D0. As a result, a voltage on the digit line DO rises by a voltage level. During the same period of time, in response to a read/write command, the column address buffers 134 operate in a well-known manner to latch in a plurality of column address bits A0-Az and output a corresponding column address to a column decoder 156. The column decoder 156 then energizes a sense amplifier for a column corresponding to the column address.
If the positive charge stored in the storage capacitor 154 is sufficient to exceed a detection threshold of the sense amplifier, the sense amplifier detects the change in voltage relative to the voltage on the complimentary digit line D0* and, in response, drives the digit line D0 to the supply voltage and the digit line D0* to approximately ground potential. The column decoder 156 then energizes a column select signal CSEL—0. The column select signal is selected in accordance with the column address in a well-known manner. This activates a pair of input/output gating NMOS transistors 158 and 160. As a result, the voltages on the digit lines D0 and D0* are transferred through an input/output bus to a data buffer 162 including well known DC sense amplifiers 164, an output buffer 166, write drivers 168, and an input buffer 170. The data buffer 162 then outputs the logical "1" bit as an output data signal Q to external circuitry (not shown). It will be understood that other types of data buffers, including those that do not contain DC sense amplifiers, output buffer, write drivers, and input buffers may be used.
If the word line WL1 is energized as described above in the full-density mode of the SDRAM, the energized word line WL1 activates an NMOS transistor 178. As a result of the NMOS transistor 178 being activated, a storage capacitor 182 storing a positive electric charge representing a "0" bit, for example, is connected to the digit line D0* through the activated NMOS transistor 178. The capacitor 182 is discharged to the digit line D0*. As a result, a voltage on the digit line D0* rises by a small voltage level. If the positive electric charge stored in the storage capacitor 182 is sufficient to exceed a detection threshold of the sense amplifier, the sense amplifier detects the change in voltage relative to the voltage on the digit line D0 and, in response, drives the digit line D0 to ground potential and the digit line D0* to approximately the supply voltage. As a result, the voltages on the digit lines D0 and D0* are transferred through an input/output bus to a data buffer 162 that outputs a logical "1" bit as an output data signal Q to external circuitry (not shown).
During operation in the half-density mode, in response to a read/write command, the row address buffers 132 operate in the same manner as described above with reference to the full-density mode. Additionally, the sense amplifier 100 also equilibrates the voltages on the digit lines D0 and D0* to the cell plate voltage as described previously.
As is well known in the art, the storage capacitors 154, 182, 176, and 184 that are used as the memory cells must be periodically refreshed to avoid a loss of data resulting from charge leaking from the capacitors. A refresh controller 173 driving a refresh counter 175 is provided for this purpose. In the refresh operation, the refresh controller 173 periodically generates a refresh trigger pulse to cause the refresh counter 175 to refresh the rows of the memory cells in the DRAM array 148. The refresh controller 173 also detects that the DRAM has entered the self refresh mode and causes a refresh trigger pulse to be generated at that time. In response to each refresh trigger pulse, the refresh counter 175 increments to generate row addresses that are applied to the row decoder 146. The row decoder 146 then activates word lines corresponding to the addresses from the refresh counter 175 to refresh the memory cells in each row of the array 148.
During the half-density mode, the remapping circuit 101 moves A8 to the compressed-out RA13 location, the address count becomes "RA0-RA7, "Do not care bit", RA9-RA12, A8". A8, in this embodiment, performs a decoding operation to activate double wordlines in the memory array 148 of
The embodiment of
The embodiment illustrated in
In operation, transfer gates 203 and 220 are used to allow either A8 or A13 through to the RA13/RAF13 location of the input address to the memory array. The appropriate transfer gate 203 or 220 is enabled in response to a NAND gate/NOT gate 205/206 or 207/208 combination.
The A8 address bit is coupled to the input of one transfer gate 203. This transfer gate is enabled when the output of the CMP/CMP 13 NOR gate 202 is high and the HD signal is high. In one embodiment, the HD is a logical high when the half-density mode is enabled. The NAND gate 205 and inverter 206 enable the transfer gate 203 for A8. The A13 transfer gate 220 is turned off by this combination of signals.
The A13 address bit is coupled to the input of the other transfer gate 220. This transfer gate 220 is enabled when the output of the CMP/CMP13 NOR gate 202 is a logical high and HD is also a logical low. These signals cause the NAND gate 207 and inverter 208 to turn on the transfer gate 220. The A8 transfer gate 203 is turned off at this time.
The upper memory diagram 401 shows an 8K row of addresses with 32 MB per memory bank. This is a 1 GB full-density embodiment of the DRAM. The lower memory diagram 403 shows a 4K row of addresses with 32 MB per memory bank. This is a 512 MB half-density embodiment of the DRAM.
The 1 GB full-density embodiment 401 shows that during an auto-refresh cycle, one row in each of two banks is refreshed 405. In the 512 MB half-density embodiment 403, two rows in each bank are refreshed 407 simultaneously. Therefore, the 8K refresh in the half-density embodiment of the present invention remains the same as the full-density embodiment and the current consumption remains the same as the full-density embodiment. Additionally, the remapping of the address bit is transparent to the memory controller so that the memory control procedures do not have to be altered.
In summary, embodiments of the auto-refresh process of the present invention provide a refresh function without skipping every other auto-refresh command as done by the prior art. The present invention activates half of the sense amplifiers, as compared to the full-density embodiment during a refresh operation, and the same number of rows.
Although specific embodiments have been illustrated and described herein, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that any arrangement that is calculated to achieve the same purpose may be substituted for the specific embodiments shown. Many adaptations of the invention will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art. Accordingly, this application is intended to cover any adaptations or variations of the invention. It is manifestly intended that this invention be limited only by the following claims and equivalents thereof.

Drayton Keeps On Raking In The Dough, Even As The Team Goes Nowhere
Here's a little something to remember the next time you venture out to Minute Maid Park. The Houston Astros are the 11th most valuable franchise in major league baseball. In fact, the team's franchise value increased over its value from last season, despite dropping attendance and awful play.
So keep that in mind when Drayton McLane, as he will soon do, starts to bitch about declining revenue.
According to Forbes magazine, which tracks this info yearly, the Astros, this year, are worth $453 million, which is a two-percent increase from their value last season. This is despite a severe recession, declining Astros ticket sales, and an awful team.
Drayton's spin doctors will probably soon emerge and call the value a sham based on dubious bookkeeping. Yet he will refuse to open the books, and as always, the writers over at the Houston Chronicle will take him at face value when he claims poverty.

The Astros are having problems. That I do not doubt. They drew just over 21,000 for Wednesday's afternoon game with the Giants, and they were only in the mid-20,000 range for Tuesday's night game. If you check the ticket section of the Astros web page, you'll see the team is offering up just about every type of ticket gimmick in town, including all-you-can eat sections, value days, and various other ways to buy tickets at less than full value.
And I'm sure they're not happy with how the dynamic pricing concept is working because the basic idea is that the price of the ticket, driven by demand, will increase in value so that the purchaser is paying way more than face value for the ticket. But as I discovered the other day, the demand for tickets is so low at the moment that I was able to buy field box seats at a highly, highly discounted rate.
So how did the team's value increase?
Well, the Astros have not lowered concession prices -- I saw 20-ounce beers being sold for over $7.50 on Monday, and 20-ounce sodas are going at $4.25. The food prices make the cost of food sold at airports look cheap. And since the Astros are the only team in major league baseball that doesn't allow fans to bring in their own food or drinks, fans are forced to pay Drayton's prices if they're hungry or thirsty while at the game.
And shed of the contracts of Miguel Tejada and Jose Valverde, the Astros payroll has dropped slightly. Most of the team's current salary structure is currently centered around large payments to Roy Oswalt, Lance Berkman, and
Hunter Pence Carlos Lee. Berkman's contract might be off the books after this season, and Oswalt has said in the past that he's agreeable to being traded -- that would drop the team's payroll even more.
The team's two best players, Michael Bourn and Hunter Pence, are still not eligible for arbitration or free agency, so their contracts are low. While overpaying for Pedro Feliz and Brandon Lyon this off season, the team is still paying them less than they would have been paying Tejada and Valverde.
I'm sure that sometime soon we'll get the inevitable Richard Justice column or blog post where he talks about the dire financial condition of his good friend Drayton -- no proof of the dire financial condition will be provided expect for the declining ticket sales and how much money Drayton is paying out in salary. Then we'll get the usual canard about how Drayton saved baseball in Houston, and about how we're disrespecting Drayton and the team by not showing up for the games.
And we'll be told this makes everything worse because it further devalues the team which hurts Drayton's pocketbook which hurts Drayton because Drayton has never done anything but do his best to put a terrific product out on the field.
When that moment comes, remember this: the Houston Astros are the 11th most valuable franchise in baseball. And that the value of the team has increased while the product on the field has decreased. And know that the franchises that are more valuable are big-market franchises (excepting San Francisco and St. Louis) that actually have a history of winning games and going to the World Series -- except for the Chicago Cubs.
When asked to take pity on Drayton McLane and his imagined financial woes, remember that he has no financial woes and that he doesn't believe in pity. His franchise, despite fielding an awful, awful product, is actually increasing in value. So don't feel guilty about not paying full price to watch the Astros play the Washington Nationals.
And do yourself a favor, eat before you go the game. You'll save a few more bucks that way.

Toledo WR: Gators 'Don't Go As Hard' In Second Half
First things first: The professional opinion here is that Toledo senior All-MAC wide receiver Bernard Reedy was not "talking trash" or providing "bulletin-board material" in his assessment of Florida ahead of his Rockets' Week 1 trip to Gainesville. Like any college football player before the first week of the season, Reedy is confident, and the motivation behind his remarks was almost certainly simply to explain that confidence.
That said: There's no doubt those remarks are going to cause more than a few raised eyebrows among the Gators and Gator faithful. Because whatever Reedy's intent, you can't sound like you're knocking another team's effort and/or conditioning and have those comments go unnoticed. And that's exactly what it sounds like Reedy's doing.
"Since I've been watching film on them, I've seen that late in the game ... they still don't go as hard as they do in the first and second quarters," Reedy told reporters. "So I feel like if we can just keep pressure on them the whole game, we could eventually wear them down."

'Community' Season 5 Epic Trailer Teases 'Lord of the Rings'-Esque Battle
A new longer trailer for "Community" season 5 has landed online, giving an extended look at the upcoming chapter. While the previous video highlights Jeff's return to Greendale, the new one teases the madness that ensues in the community college.
It appears that there's going to be an epic battle with Britta assuming control of Greendale. Troy is violated by the "ass-crack bandit" and Walton Goggins shows up as an investigator, who is administering a lie-detector test, leading Chang to admit that he's masturbated "everywhere," including the study room.
The trailer also features a reference to "Scrub" and hints at "Lord of the Rings" spoof. Glimpses of guest stars Jonathan Banks and John Oliver are also included in it.
"Community" season 5 debuts Thursday, January 2 at 8 P.M. with a one-hour premiere on NBC. Series creator Dan Harmon returns as showrunner.

Marlins draftee Colin Moran homers in first pro at-bat
Marlins draft pick Colin Moran homered in his first profession at-bat in Class A Greensboro.
First-round draft pick
Colin Moran waited five pitches to make an impression as a
Miami Marlins minor leaguer.
Moran homered in his first at-bat for Class A Greensboro on Wednesday night, when the third baseman from the University of North Carolina made his professional debut.
Drafted with the reputation of being a line-drive gap hitter, Moran sent a 2-2 pitch over the right-field fence. It was his first at-bat against live pitching in nearly a month.
The solo homer helped the Grasshoppers defeat the Charleston RiverDogs 4-3 in Greensboro, N.C. Moran finished 1 for 3 with a walk.
Moran, 20, signed with the Marlins on Friday after being taken with the sixth overall pick in June's draft. He's the nephew of former major leaguer B.J. Surhoff and the brother of Brian Moran, a pitcher in the Seattle Mariners system.
According to the Grasshoppers official website, Moran's mother was on hand to watch her son's pro debut. Moran's dad, however, was in Las Vegas watching Brian pitch in the Triple-A All-Star game.

We have equated the Fiscal Cliff to Y2K… it doesn't exist
President Obama is taking to Twitter to rally supporters behind his push to extend the Bush-era tax rates for all but the wealthiest Americans.
The White House is planning to promote a new Twitter hashtag — #My2k — that represents the estimated $2,200 by which middle-class families would see their taxes increase, on average, if Congress fails to extend the Bush-era tax rates. Administration officials will ask supporters to post on the social media network and the White House website about how a tax increase would affect them.

The typical American family continues to work harder with little to show. Incomes were no higher last year than a year earlier after accounting for inflation, while more people lived in poverty.
Income inequality remained at a record high, with any income gains going only to the rich. The founding principle of our country — equality of opportunity — is now being challenged.
Median household income was about $51,000 last year, a sharp 9 percent drop from the peak of approximately $56,000 reached 13 years ago. This drop has both short-term and long-term causes. Much of the short-term impact traces to jobs. The country has suffered two recessions in the past 13 years, including the one between 2007 and 2009, the deepest one since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Unemployment, though down from its peak, is still relatively high. For example, at the peak of real median household income in 1999, the jobless rate was only about 4 percent. In contrast, last year the unemployment rate was nearly double that figure.
The role of education is clear. Comparing 2012 with 1999, individuals with a bachelor's or higher degree have experienced an increase in unemployment and a loss in real earnings, but the slippage has been much milder than that suffered by individuals without college degrees. For college grads, median real earnings dropped a sizable 10 percent, but they plunged by about 20 percent for those with a high school education or less.
Median household earnings, adjusted for inflation, have increased at an annual rate of less than one-half of a percentage point over the past 45 years. But income inequality has widened, with the top fifth of earners gaining an eight percentage point gain in their income share, while other groups have seen their shares erode.
Some people have been able to migrate up from low salaries to higher incomes as their careers progress. But, for many, especially in the last few years, it seems to have been a "lost decade." The root causes of these longer term trends relate to education, the rise in the services sector with more part-time jobs, the demand for highly skilled workers, global competition, and innovation.
The large, extended weakness in household earnings represents the greatest issue of concern in terms of implications for the nation. Until the economy grows at a faster pace and we restore "full" employment (with the unemployment rate down to around 5.5 percent), employees may see minimal wage gains and only modest gains in total incomes.
Total income equality should not be a goal, since it would dissuade individuals from acquiring more education and skills, working harder, or taking greater risks. America is a country established on the belief in the "equality of opportunity," not "equality of outcomes." Yet, a large disparity in incomes, with most of the gains concentrated at the top, can lead to political instability. People generally are focused on whether their own incomes are rising or falling and how they are doing relative to their neighbors and others. Both trends are now negative — most Americans are at best treading water, while the rich are becoming richer.
Income inequality also can threaten the equality of opportunity, especially in education. Wealthier families may ensure that their children are enrolled in the best schools and receive extra training, a gap exacerbated by escalating costs. Higher-income families also may help their children access better job opportunities. Reversing some of the negative trends related to incomes suggests the following steps for policy, business, and community leaders:
• Set a path for fiscal stability and growth that scales back entitlement programs to provide room for public and private investment in infrastructure and education.
• Reform taxes to eliminate incentives for various activities with low economic returns and that raise income inequality (such as the large mortgage deduction for high-income households).
• Achieve true financial reform to prevent risk takers, such as hedge funds and investment bankers, from reaping gains while receiving public support when large losses occur.
•Move away from easy money policies that are driving risky bets by large investors but hurting small savers and possibly creating future inflation.
• Reform public education with the adoption of best practices, a stronger collaboration with industry to identify needed skills, and continuous counseling to ensure that young people complete their degrees.
• Expand school opportunities for doctors, veterinarians, engineers, accountants, and other professions. Develop and promote programs for individuals to learn technical skills, from welding to culinary arts.
• Encourage entrepreneurship and innovation through collaboration and mentoring.
The United States is not destined for another lost decade if we can achieve faster growth, lower unemployment, and more opportunities for all to excel.

Aliens Maher and Jules hop planet-to-planet, these desperate leaps for survival leads them to Planet Earth and a spiritual rebirth.
Author Joseph Fullam's planet hopping sexual escapades find teenagers Maher and Jules using their talents and inner energy to survive when they don't automatically do what society expects of them. It's hard when you find out everything you thought was true is not, and that your life of privilege was taken away because of your parentage, but in this case, shock, frustration and yearning lead two teenagers to develop and evolve into the spiritual beings following the true path of light. Fast paced and confusing at times, this story is about self-centered immature characters that stumble upon very limited enlightenment than any real sort of self-actualization. The climax literally and figuratively is just as baffling.

This book seems to be written by someone who really has no idea how to create a plot. I only finished the book to see if there was a point to it after all. There wasn't. Not only did the author create an overly confusing atmosphere and traversed us to many different places, non of which were described decently, we have a slut for a main character who uses her sexuality to get what she wants and to hold the other main character in the palm of her hand to get what she wants when she wants it.
We have multitudes of races that were never properly described, a created language thrown in there for what seems no other reason than try to impress the reader. There were a lot of concepts that could have been developed, but they simply weren't. This is a book of very bad decisions from start to finish. The characters all make bad decisions right from the start, and it finishes with bad decisions. The concept of the book was a good one, it was just never carried out

I found this book really hard to read, it jumped around alot and I found it hard to remember where it was going and why. I didn't like the characters, they only seemed interested in drugs and sex, and although they claimed to love each other it was only shown through sex. The author kept refering to the characters as "the teen" which got very annoying very quickly. I also didn't really understand the plot, they didn't really have any specific goals, and certainl didn't reach any goals (unless you count them having sex).

This is the second book by this author that I have read. I received this book free in exchange for a review. This book seemed to flow better, in my opinion, that "The Virgin King." The plot was more understandable, but things moved way to fast. I think the author would do well to learn how to slow down and be more descriptive. The continual jumping around between planets made it hard to keep up.
Also I feel like there was far more sex in the book than was necessary to the plot line. The author could have easily kept it cleaner, once we knew the female character used her sexuality to get her way, there was no need to be so repetitive.
The book was also full of spelling and punctuation errors, which I realize happens when there is no formal editing process. Still, I think the author could have had someone proof read it to help make some corrections.
Overall, interesting concept, but it could use some work to be improved to increase readiability and understandability.

on Feb. 26, 2011 :
At first, I was wondering how a self-published author would be able to pull off such an ambitious project. I have to say that Joseph Fullam definitely does that and more.
Maher's mother drops a bombshell on him. His father is not just away on another planet doing research. He is actually no longer in a physical form. And they are not really from Juniper. This changes his whole perspective on life as he knows it. However, he is warned that some of his research may lead to the Quadra to come after him.
Then the action starts. You follow Maher and Jules as they traipse across planets in order to fight for their lives.
There were small things like grammar and spelling that were a little messed up. But that happens when you are working without an editor. And the things that I noticed that were incorrect, I sent a message off to Joe and he was quite happy that I brought it to his attention.

When a man has anal/doggystyle sex with a chick facing a window then trades places with his buddy who is hiding in the room without the chick realizing.

The star of The Phantom of the Opera, most famously played by Michael Crawford (original cast) and Gerard Butler (2004 movie). The Phantom lives beneath the opera house, and tries to win Christine's love after hearing her sing as an understudy. He has faced a world of hatred and everyone thinks of him as nothing more than a cold-blooded murderer. Behind his murders, he is just an emotionally insecure man who had been outcast from society because of a facial defect when he was born, which he covers with the classic half-face mask. Truly, behind the mask, there is a beautiful man and a genius in music, art, and magic, whom most outcasts can relate to.
I absolutely love the phantom. It's just so sad that he went through so much pain.. *sobs*

11. Zoosk

Zoosk is an international dating site that integrates with Facebook, is available in 25 languages and serves over 80 countries. Its app is the No. 1-grossing online dating app in the Apple App Store. In anticipation of the online dating industry's busiest time of year, they just posted this infographic for building the perfect online profile. Who knew there was so much of a difference between typing a smiley like this ":)" or like this ":-)".
Learn more at Zoosk.com
The Zoosk Experience
Zoosk is ideal for people who don't want to get bogged down in questionnaires and profile-building, but still want the benefit of a matching algorithm. Similar to the "Genius" function on iTunes, Zoosk learns as you click in order to pair you with singles you're likely to be attracted to. For those of you who loathe tests, that means there's no questionnaire. They were one of the first online dating sites to offer couples services to users who have already found a match.
Zoosk offers a no-frills, no-BS dating platform that is easy to use and full of singles looking for matches.
Best feature: A large user base and a straightforward interface makes Zoosk accessible to just about anyone with an internet connection.
Biggest drawback: These days, quality free dating sites are a dime a dozen and while Zoosk does offer a guarantee, the monthly pricing is steep.
Memberships & Pricing
One month costs $29.95, and the subscription automatically renews unless you cancel it. Three months costs $59.95. Six months costs $79.95.

It's Round 2 between the New York Jets and the New England Patriots, and as has been the case for the past few seasons, a lot is riding on the line for both squads.
The Jets come into this Week 10 matchup with high expectations after a 30-21 loss to the Patriots in Week 5 at Gillette Stadium. That loss sparked a four-game winning streak with the Jets most recent victory coming over the AFC East-leading Buffalo Bills in convincing fashion, 27-11.
The Patriots, meanwhile, enter this game having dropped two straight against the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants, respectively.
With a three-way tie for the AFC East lead and the well-documented history of this rivalry, especially in recent years since the Jets have become a contending team, it's hard to overlook such an exciting matchup with everything it brings to the table.
Last season, the Jets won the first meeting between these two teams 28-14, only to lose 45-3 in an embarrassing fashion during their Week 13 rematch. Of course we remember how that all turned out—the Jets defeated the Patriots in a memorable Divisional Playoff game, 28-21.
This season's rematch brings that postseason atmosphere to MetLife Stadium, where the Jets' eighth-ranked defense hopes to shut Tom Brady and the Patriots offense down. At the same time, Bill Belichick hopes to get his defense together for another big matchup after a generally strong performance in their upset defeat at the hands of the Jets' stadium-mates, the New York Giants.
With a lot of characters in this matchup and a lot on the line, let's look at how each team matches up and who has the advantage.

Super Racing
Macmillan has high hopes for Boristar as an SA carnival contender
- From: The Advertiser
- February 16, 2013
EXCITING three-year-old Boristar will try to stamp himself as a genuine SA carnival contender when he resumes at Morphettville today.
Trainer John Macmillan has a big opinion of the lightly-raced three-year-old and, with an expected influx of interstate horses set for Adelaide in April, the Strathalbyn horseman is hoping Boristar can stamp his authority at his first start since October.
Macmillan said Boristar had thrived during his spell and the gelding had progressed well from a Strathalbyn trial last month. "He's stronger, faster and better," he said.
"He's been a long-term proposition and the race isn't a giveaway. I think if he doesn't win he'll be right there."
Macmillan enjoyed his first Melbourne success at Moonee Valley last month with Highness who won in emphatic fashion, while Mosque will be targeting his third successive win today.
He's also hoping progressive staying type Final Command can enhance his chances of an Adelaide Cup tilt in the day's feature, the $80,000 Holdfast Insurance Birthday Cup.
"Final Command had no luck last time," he said. "He was shuffled back and was climbing heels in the straight, the first three horses got a break from him and one more stride he would have run second."

Mrs. Slaghoople... ...and most of all, Wilma. Thanks for the invite. I've never been inside a place this big without paying admission.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Duhon Funeral Homes sold to second generation family
PAUL KEDINGER ~ Managing Editor
The operation of an Acadia Parish family business has been turned over to a second generation with the announcement by Joyce Duhon, the widow of Ray Duhon, that her daughter, Melinda Duhon Arabie, and her husband, Randall, are the new owners
Melinda and her husband announced that Alan B. Breaux has been named general manager of the funeral homes located in Church Point, Rayne, and Crowley.
Thirty-five years ago, on Aug. 13, 1974, the first Duhon Funeral Home became a reality at 831 S. Broadway in Church Point for mortician Ray Duhon and his wife, Joyce.
That purchase, for Ray, was a lifelong dream come true.
At the age of 16, when Ray Duhon began working at his hometown funeral home in Sulphur he knew somehow one day he and his family would own and operate their own funeral home business.
In 1987, Ray and his wife, Joyce, built a new funeral home in Church Point. Their original building has since been razed and is the site of the Acadia Parish Health Unit in Church Point.
The Duhons expanded to Crowley in 1991 and then opened their Rayne location in 1994.
With the sale to the Arabies on Aug. 3, the family's dream continues.
As new owner, Melinda says she wants to continue what her parents believed: "by being there for others at the most difficult time of their lives by showing concern, compassion, and understanding." She remarks, "Duhon Funeral Home was built on this concept, and I will do my best to keep it going."
Born in DeRidder, Melinda remembers the family moving to Church Point in 1974.
After graduating from Church Point High School in 1984, Melinda married Randall Arabie, a 1980 Church Point graduate. Randall is employed as an A&P mechanic at Petroleum Helicopter.
The couple, married for 25 years, have three children: Adrienne, Dustin, and Shawn, and have one grandson, Jayden, three-years-old.
The family are members of St. Edward Catholic Church in Richard, where Melinda serves as a Eucharistic minister and as a member of the Parish Council. She has served two, consecutive terms on the Our Mother of Peace Elementary School Board.
The new owner joined the family business as a bookkeeper in 1992. In 2005, she decided to follow in her parents' footsteps and obtained her accounting degree from the University of Phoenix.
Following her father's death on Nov. 12, 2006, Melinda began her one-year internship as a funeral director on June 6, 2008, under the supervision of her mother. She took the State Board examination and earned her funeral director's license in July 2009.
The new general manager, Alan Breaux, is the son of late Bradley and Ura Latiolais Breaux.
A graduate of Rayne High School and the Dallas Texas Institute of Funeral Services, Breaux has 28 years experience as a funeral director and embalmer.
He is a past member of the YMBC and the Rayne Chamber of Commerce, holding several offices over the years in both organizations.
He and his wife of 19 years, the former Shelley Fontenot, of Gueydan, are the parents of three children, Addison, Sydney and Brad.
They are members of Centenary United Methodist Church of Rayne.
