Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured.

Hello community
I could sure use bit of help here if possible. I have acquired the above mentioned laptop for my daughter via garage sale and had no recovery partition and/or recovery disks. I have recreated the recovery partition using Paragon and a retail copy of Windows 7 64 HP but I have no drivers. Toshiba's website is less than friendly and am unable to locate the chipset drivers which shows up as SM Bus Controller - I am guessing this is part of the onboard video (AMD Radeon HD 6470M), which I am also unable to get working. My thoughts are that video will not work until missing chipset drivers are loaded and I can not find any chipset drivers on Toshiba website and have installed three advised display drivers per serial number per Toshiba url.
Any advise and/or working links would be greatly helpful.
Best to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled. Windows is preactivated.
You can obtain recovery discs from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here .
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 76 of the User's Guide.

They appear to have given a years warning. That is hardly "disappearing tomorrow."
That said, the fact that you can lose your site/blog/etc. because of some vague and subjective terms of service violation with no appeal is a good reason not to go to the cloud.

My mother was born in 1929 and never touched a computer until she was in her 70s, but she was no dummy when it came to security. She wrote her ATM PIN, the only PIN she had, as a phone number in her address book. If someone stole her purse, they would have the PIN, but it probably would not be recognized as such.
My response is not listed as an option. I would have left the message where it was and told the sender that while I am not the morality police, I am the network (or at least e-mail) police and he should not be using the corporate mail for these kinds of messages. These kinds of messages can come back to haunt you in the form of a harassment suit.
PPPS: Make sure the phone is purchased in a way that is not traceable back to you.
I don't know much about ECUs, but mine cannot possibly have the correct time. Last time the battery was changed, I did it myself and did not reset any clock. The log timestamp is at best an elapsed time since power up.
The data did not leave Europe. The original case was about data on a news papers website. The right to be forgotten applies to search results, not the data itself. I agree that if you have the right to be forgotten, then the data itself should be erased rather than the search results. The search results will sort themselves out once the data is gone.

Is the picture at the top actually a robin? It may be a north america v europe thing, but all the robins I have seen were darker on top and redder on the bottom.

Somehow, these critters survive further south where the mosquitos already flourish My experience is with Alaska rather than Fennoscandia, but I doubt that there is much difference. The warmer climate will mean more vegetation for them to feed on. It seems to me that only real downside to warming for them is that farmers will be able to plant in areas that are now too cold. You can displace the caribou only so far before they have nothing but Arctic Ocean left.

Do we rifle our barrels differently from everybody else too?
When was copyright ever about consumers? To my knowledge, it has always about rewarding content creators for creating with a monopoly on the content that was created. This is about as anti-consumer as you can get. It seems to me that there are two main problems with the copyright system, in the US at least,extending the copyright to preposterous lengths and no penalty for take-downs of fair use.
It seems to me that the problem, in the US at least, is that the banks are not financially responsible for fraud. If fraud is claimed, the money is taken back from the vendor. The banks do not have an incentive to do a good job of verifying the user.
It's all about power. They don't want to have to ask a judge and possibly be denied.
The problem with these class action suits is the lawyers get all the money. The people in the class get a discount on their next purchase of the same or similar product.
I suspect that you are right and wrong. I don't think they are there for his protection so much as the Embassy's protection. We can't have a mob storming an Embassy in a civilized nation. They could keep him from getting away with fewer officers.
I still don't understand why this is even a google thing. Why mess with the search engines? If you get the source information removed, the information will timeout in the search engines. If I recall correctly, the original case involved information at a Spanish newspaper site. Spain is part of the EU. Why not sue to get the article removed there?
Where the equator is drawn is not arbitrary. It is the great circle in the plane of rotation. The prime meridian is arbitrary.
Suppose we were not talking about a hotel. Suppose you have some business using WiFi that has carefully place their APs and selected their channels so that there is no interference and then someone brings in a rouge AP that starts interfering with the network. Are you saying that they should not be able to tell people not to use their equipment in the building? Obviously, they should not be able to block APs outside their building, but inside is another story.
As a 'murican and member of the elite few who uses Farenheit and other odd measurements,I second this motion and call for immediate implementation.
This is hardly a surprise. The US and Israel have been pretty tight for a long time. I do have to take exception to the idea that Israel cannot mount an assault without US assistance. Anyone can randomly drop bomb.
No. Not the entire state computing system. The California Technology Agency is setting up CalCloud, but participation is optional for state departments. The department I work for has evaluated it and chosen not to partake.
I came into this story late so I am not that familiar with how it started. Can someone point me to an explanation of why this is even a Google issue? It seem to me that the citizen should complain to the web site that publishes the irrelevant or obsolete information rather than the search engine that links to it.

A fine is normally a punishment to discourage behavior, but the police are taxpayer funded. How does fining the taxpayer discourage bad behavior by the police? They need to punish the individuals who screwed up.

As I understand it, illegally obtained evidence is inadmissible only if it was illegally obtained by the government or it's agents. If it is obtained by a private party and handed over to the government, then it is admissible. The private party can be criminally charged by the government or sued by the defendant.

Nope. The convoy was (allegedly) carrying missiles bound for Shiite Hezbollah militants. Hezbollah are long-time foes of Israel and allies of President Bashar al-Assad's Syrian regime.

With the computer controlling so much of the car and soon even self driving cars, I'm not sure that I want my car connected to any networks where it can pick up some malware. Imagine saying, "Home James!" and find that the car takes you to a store for shopping instead of taking you home.
I can think of plenty. Your average blue collar worker would not be fired as long as they did not miss work before getting bail. People who work with money like bankers or store clerks might get fired, but your average carpenter, plumber, or electrician probably would not.
Suppose he had posted it on his own wall where he knew exactly who had access to the post. Suppose further that he had a spat with one of his friends and he/she printed the post and give it to the employer. The post is not public, but it has come to the employers attention through the printout. Would it still be legal to fire him?
What if we are talking about an e-mail between two people?
No way the UK would trade him for the Falklands, but the Argentinians might give him asylum just to twist the lions tail..
What are you talking about? Of course governments tax foreign nationals. I have paid taxes on investment in other countries to those governments, The US has a right to tax any money earned in the US. Of course they have no right to tax foreign income of non-citizens who do not live in the US.
This is pretty common here in the states. I haven't signed for gas for years. I assume that it is because they can get your plates on CCTV so they can follow up if the charge is fraudulent. Many merchants don't require a signature if the charge is small. Typically less than $20.
that is hilarious!
Less than half a foot, but still really BIG.
I'm pretty sure that they cannot compel you to reveal the location of files or even the existence of the files. It is up to the police to find them once they have the search warrant. If they cannot find them, then they cannot be used against you.
There was a case here in California where a person was ejected from mall for violating the malls speech code. A court ruled that that code was unconstitutional as it violates the customers right of free speech. I am guessing that the reason they cannot bar speech is that while the mall is privately owned, It is open to the public.

Indian investors are confused about the way the stock markets are heading in 2013. The stock market investors have managed to get good returns from stock markets in year 2012, however going forward, the market direction will mainly depend on hot money coming to Indian market.
Indian companies have performed really well in the past few quarters and that kept the momentum in the stock markets as results were good. However, going forward, the economy is facing trouble and growth in India is lower.
On the positive note, one can expect that there will be more action in the markets due to reforms introduced by UPA government. As elections are approaching, government will take populist measures and the voice of economists could go unheard.
From investor point of view, Real estate market is facing major trouble. The demand is dry and due to lower demand from end user, the real estate investor is stuck with his investment in projects. Real estate developers are facing higher cost of construction and many of them are lagging behind the schedule.
Gold had a good run in year 2010, 2011 and 2012. We can't expect gold to offer gains year over year. In 2013, market experts are not having big expectations from gold.
So, the safe bet for investors will be either bank deposits or very safe bluechip counters. Stock markets will surely offer more return compared to banks. But, in stock markets, one should choose only good companies with strong track record for past several years. One should also escape the companies where management practices are not transparent.

TravelPod Member ReviewsCountrywide Cottages Bambra
Di, the owner, is such a lovely lady. Upon arriving she left a note for us explaining she had gone to lunch and was sorry not to be able to greet us. We arrived in our cottage (Canopy) and there were homemade cookies and bird seed awaiting us. We wasted no time in feeding the local parrots, in no time we had Crimson Rosellas, King Parrots and Common Bronzewings feeding from the feeder, much to the delight of our friends from the UK who we took there. There are wonderful bushwalks around the property, and also into the Otways National Park which adjoins the property. My partner and I are already planning our next trip this Winter. Thanks Di!

Average Review:
12" Loaf Mold - These heavy duty soap molds are made of Polystyrene plastic. Suitable for both Melt and Pour soaps and Cold Process soaps. If using Cold Process Soap, we recommend adding 1tsp Sodium Lactate per lb of soap to ease the release of your soap.
Dimensions: 12.75" (L) x 4" (w) x 2.75" (h)Cavities: 1Capacity: 72 ozMold Material: FDA approved polystyrene plastic, 5% rubber
Note: The base of the mold itself is 3 inches wide, making the mold a little bit tappered. So when you take the soap out of the mold, the top of the soap will be 3 inches wide and the base of the soap will be 4 inches wide.
It's been 24 hours and I can't get the soap loaf out. It has shrunk and pulled away from the sides but won't come out. I don't want to wait so long that the soap is too hard to cut. I was going to line it, based on the review above, but the trapezoidal shape of the mold makes lining it a hassle. I wish I would have at least laid one strip lengthwise to help lift the soap out. I'll be patient... it's my first attempt at CP. I have to say, I am LOVING making soap. I'm already trying to decide what to do next.
Reply from Bramble BerryHi Beth! Depending on your recipe, it can take anywhere from two days to up to 1-2 weeks to unmold your cold process soap. To help speed this process up, you can add more hard oils in your recipe. You can also add 1 tsp. of sodium lactate per pound of oils to your cooled lye water. You can read more in the Sunday Night Spotlight: Sodium Lactate post. I'll be emailing you personally to discuss this!
I got this mold instead of purchasing a silicon mold, and I really wish I had just bit the bullet and gotten the silicon. My batch of the "lots of lather" soap with Energy fragrance has been in the mold for three days and I still can't get it to come out. I fear I may either have to cut the mold or lose this beautiful batch of soap. Neither of which I want to do. Had I known that this would be a piece of work, I would have simply lined with parchment paper to save myself the stress and headache! Moral of the story, line this puppy or you may never get your soap the way you want to.
Reply from Bramble Berry
Hi Michelle! I'm sorry this mold wasn't your favorite. We've found soap comes out of this mold well. Cold process soap make take up to a week to harden, depending on factors like climate, etc. You may like to add 1 tsp of Sodium Lactate per pound of oils to your cooled lye water. That will help that bar get harder and unmold earlier. I'll be emailing you personally to resolve this issue!
I haven't used it but it seems very firm. But When I read the note and then looked at the picture I thought the 4" opening was the over pour lip you see in the pictures. You can see that is tappers up. So its not a true rectangle. And again it's my fault because of the note. The note explains it good but after looking the pic I thought it was the lip that was open.
We're a friendly group who love social media. See you 'round the web!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Beer Releases' started by bmony, Dec 4, 2012.
Had a 2011 the other night while grilling burgers. Pretty tasty.
Bought, drank, enjoyed last night.
great news...i keep meaning to cellar these so i can see how it does but i always drink them before the next vintage comes out.
It cellars great for two years, haven't had it past that.
is it easily accessible in the WI area? i have a buddy whose aunt lives up there and could snag me a couple 4 packs and bring it down to florida.
If anyone in the Madison/LAX area has a 2010 BBS that they would be willing to trade let me know. Cheers
Wow- I'm a huge fan of Central Waters barrel offerings, especially the BB Stout, but this lable is as bad as the last one.
Never will understand the weird obsession with labels.
I don't drink the labels.
And if the labels on really good beers like this suck, great, maybe more people won't buy them...
I bought a four pack last night. Drank two already. Trying to tell myself I will age them but I'm not sure if I can do it.
CW BBS = Great Beer. But I'm curious about the Barleywine.
Are these in IL?
It's nice that CW expanded their barrel aging capacity, the manager at a local liquor store was telling me that this year he expects to have inventory until March.
Mmmmmm.....barley wine!
Why age something so good fresh? If you must, get another four pack and tuck it away. Drink up!
To each their own. I think the label is pretty good. Hopefully I'll be seeing it in person soon.
It's on shelves now.
Not the BA version though.
There was a price increase this year. Part of the reason is that they increased the barrel aging from 6 months to a full year.
Nothing can be as bad as the last label, but yeah, still pretty bad.
I dunno, I liked the last label. Nothing fancy or even great, but not even close to Weyerbacher levels.
Any in Milwaukee yet?
Here in Madison, the bourbon barrel stout hit shelves a day or two before the barleywine. Having a 2011 and 2012 barleywine side by side right now. The 2011 is slightly better; not quite as much of an alcohol burn but one year I don't think is enough time to make a huge difference.
In a shocking turn of events on the "this year's so and so isn't as good/hoppy/bourbony/blarble as last year", this year's BB Stout is by far the best vintage yet. So vanilla forward...
Agreed! Best vintage yet!
I'm disappointed in the beer it's defiantly not as orange this year as it was last year. I'm mostly picking up black and white.
I personally think the label looks amazing, especially side by side with the last label. And price wise I'm charging $12.99 per four pack.
This stuff is disappearing quickly from shelves. 2 of my local places are out the same day they got it in. I went to Woodman's today and grabbed the last case in Sun Prairie, still some in the cooler. Their could be more in back for all I know.
It is one of my favorite beers and I have 18 bottles of it now.
Anyone see this in Rochester yet? Really looking forward to trying this, as I was very impressed with Cosmyc Charlie's Y2K barleywine, & Peruvian Morning when it was fresh.
I'm sure places will get a second or third shipment. I remember stores getting waves of this for at least a month or so.
EDIT - I'm beating you with 26 bottles, sucka.
Last time around, it seemed to linger at various stores in Milwaukee for quite a while. One store had it until May or so.
That was the case in MN (twin cities) too. Seemed to be everywhere
Yea you guys in Madison better not be grabbing it all, I want a case or so when I get there.
Can't wait to get some. I bought an assload last year and still have a 4pk of 11 in the cellar somewhere.
It's hitting Milwaukee starting yesterday to next wed..I've found it for 12.99 and one place,Rays in tosa has it for $15.99!!!! Needless to say I turned and walked out! There is going to be a lot of it this year, don't let any place gouge you! Any other price checks out there?
Wasn't it around $10 last year? Maybe it was $12 and I'm just mis-remembered?
They were last year, sat on the shelves for a long time too. Although for some reason I dont think it will be the same this year.
I found it last year for between 10.49-12.99 in and around milw.. Not sure if the price went up this year due to the wholesaler, or the retail stores know they can get more for it.
I think it was probably around $11-12 also around Chicago/burbs.
Price went up by two bucks or so due to them aging it in the barrels longer.
I picked up a 4 pack at the East side Woodman's for $12.99. After sharing that afternoon I was at the West side Woodman's and decided to pick up more. There it was $11.99. So I guess the ghetto Woodman's charges more to keep up their nice appearance...
I still have 8 2011's and I'm hoping to track down someone willing to trade some 2010's. The '11s have aged nicely
I think I might be more excited for their BBBW.

Crowley High's Cradeur inks with Louisiana College
CROWLEY – Jude Cradeur had hopes of playing college football, but at 5-foot-9, the Crowley High offensive lineman pretty much came to terms with the fact that life on the gridiron was probably over.
Fortunately for Cradeur, Louisiana College had different ideas.
"I always wanted to play college football, but with my height, I didn't think I was going to be able to (do that)," said Cradeur. "But then Louisiana College just popped up. I didn't think I was going to go play football anywhere but they came to school and talked to me and that was it."
Cradeur made it official Friday when he committed to the Wildcats, who went 7-3 last year under former Evangel coach Dennis Dunn.
Offensive line coach Mike Richard recruited Cradeur and it is likely that he will play center for the Wildcats.
"The only thing that was somewhat holding him (Cradeur) back, as far as being recruited by bigger schools, is his height," said CHS coach Josh Fontenot. "But (with) his athletic ability, blocking ability and technique, he's as good as a lot of linemen you'll see."
Cradeur moved around on the offensive line for the Gents and anchored a unit that produced a 2,000-yard rusher two years ago and a 1,300-yard back in 2011 (Davante Bourque).
"By far, Jude was our best offensive lineman the last two years," said Fontenot. "He led it, anchored it. If Jude was having a good game and playing well, so was the rest of the offensive line."
Although Cradeur is accustomed to doing the blocking, he might get the chance to run behind the offensive line some at LC. The Wildcats are looking at possibly giving him time at fullback as well.
"They are a spread team and they throw a lot, but when they are in short yardage and goal line situations, they use the two-back stuff and they like Jude's athletic ability," said Fontenot. "They want to see if he can go over there and catch and really move in space. If he can, then they might use him at fullback. If he can't, they're excited about having him at center."
Saying Cradeur is excited about the opportunity (at fullback) is an understatement.
"I am very excited (to play fullback)," said Cradeur. "I always wanted to play that. I was always right on the edge of playing fullback, but it just never happened. There was no one that ever stepped up to play center so I always had to play center because I was the best at that position."
Cradeur is the son of Phil and Millie Cradeur of Crowley . He plans to major in nursing at LC.

Loaded Potato Soup--And I Do Mean Loaded!
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 45 mins
Not for the faint of heart (or maybe it would make your heart faint)! This is a recipe I adapted from Paula Deen. It can be modified further to be a bit healthier but I wanted to get this tried and true version down.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb bacon
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cups red potatoes or 4 cups russet potatoes, chopped
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 3 cups milk
- 1 lb sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1⁄3 cup green onion (optional)
- salt and pepper
- In soup pot cook bacon til crispy, remove and set aside.
- Add chopped onion and potato to bacon fat, salt and pepper, and cook through.
- Stir in flour and cook 1-2 more minutes.
- Adjust heat to a low medium.
- Add half and half and milk all at once, stirring occassionally until hot.
- Add shredded cheese and stir until melted (I go one handful at a time cuz I've had weird things happen otherwise).
- Crumble bacon into bits and add back to soup.
- Garnish with green onions, cheese, and bacon.
Most Helpful
Nothing beats a nice warming bowl of soup on a cold day. I made half a recipe using sharp cheddar cheese. I used my immersion blender to break up the potatoes a little before serving and reserved a bit of the bacon to garnish along with the green onions. This was served as a meal with a tossed salad. Made for PAC Spring 2013.
Oh my; this is a thick, creamy and great tasting potatoes soup. DH was truly impressed. It had the best blend of flavors - like a loaded baked potatoe and pretty easy to make. I did prepare it all and then put it in the crockpot on low for 4 hours, adding the cheese in the last 30 minutes and lowing the heat to "keep warm". We were having company and this way it was ready to go when everyone arrived. Made for Fall PAC 2012
I really enjoy making and EATING this soup! It has been a big hit at Poker Night and several pitch-in suppers that I have attended. The trick is to not let the soup get hot enough to curdle the cheesy goodness.

While it has gotten less publicity than the new Chrysler 200, the Dodge Journey is expected to be replaced soon with either a new Dodge crossover or a new Chrysler-branded one. Production is said to be moving to Sterling Heights, where the Chrysler 200 is already made, or Belvidere (Dart, Patriot, Compass), making way for a new product at Toluca — which many expect to be a metric-ton-payload pickup truck.
Allpar source "DCXcarbuilder" captured this disguised crossover tooling down a Michigan highway. It is well covered, but appears to reveal Dodge-Charger-style scallops in the doors, and a crossover design that matches the basic lines of the camouflaged Chrysler mid-size car up front. There is no body identification on it, and the main reason to think it is a Chrysler design is the similarity with recent spy shots of what most people think is the next Chrysler 200.
While Dodge appears to be moving towards embracing its muscle-car reputation, rather than trying to refine it into a more European "handles well and doesn't need brute force" mode, a properly styled crossover could easily fit into that mold; they do not appear to have hurt BMW or Porsche. The current Dodge Journey has not been a sales barnstormer in the United States, but has consistently led crossover sales in Canada. A version of Journey has been fairly successful in Europe as the Fiat Freemont, and will reportedly be built in China for domestic sales (since cars cannot be imported into China without punishing duties).
We believe that the roof comes back into more of a hatchback form than a typical space-maximizing SUV shape; indeed, this could be a Dodge Avenger hatchback style, or a very, very well disguised Avenger sedan, rather than a new Journey. The hints of side sculpting could be an attribute of the camouflage or unfinished doors, so this could still be a Chrysler prototype.
Update: Some readers believe this is actually a Lincoln MKC, which is a higher trim version of the Ford Escape. This does not explain why the support cars are all Mopars.

Youth activities planned
CLOVIS, N.M. - Children of all ages who are in the mood to celebrate the end of school will find a variety of free activities and food today at a special "Summer Bash" organized by the Lighthouse Mission at Hillcrest Park.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. MDT today, children and families can go to the main park entrance on Sycamore Street next to the zoo for "fun for the whole family," Lighthouse Mission director Richard Gomez said.
"We're just giving the kids something extra to celebrate," Gomez said. "It's our way of showing appreciation for our children in the community for making it through the whole school year."
As part of today's Summer Bash, organizers plan to give away six new bicycles for children, Gomez said.
The Summer Bash event will feature free games and prizes, free hot dogs and drinks and free passes to the adjacent Hillcrest Park Zoo, Gomez said.
A featured highlight of Summer Bash will be a one-hour concert in Hillcrest Park by Clovis singer/songwriter David Dawson and 3-Gs Ministries.
Parents are encouraged to accompany their children and "we'll feed them, too," Gomez said.
For more information, call the Lighthouse Mission in Clovis at (505) 762-1933.
DPS awaits victim's ID
A man killed in a Thursday wreck between a pickup and a tractor-trailer in Sherman County remained unidentified Friday.
The accident happened at 4:35 p.m. when the driver of a Chevrolet pickup swerved into opposing traffic on U.S. Highway 54, about six miles northeast of Stratford, according to a Department of Public Safety report.
The pickup struck the trailer portion of the eastbound semi, which was driven by Larry Heeren, from Garnavillo, Iowa. The impact threw the pickup out of control and tossed it onto its top, where it caught fire, the report said.
Sherman County Sheriff Jack Haile said the fire consumed the pickup. "It was pretty bad," Haile said. "The pickup was on its top, and the fire just burnt everything."
The driver of the pickup was trapped in the burning pickup. He was pronounced dead at the scene, but the fire burned the body beyond recognition, which has prevented identification, Haile said. Officials know only that the pickup was out of Kansas.
Haile said investigators so far have been unable to determine what caused the pickup to burst into flames. "We talked about that," Haile said. "I've been sheriff 13 years, and that's only the second one we've seen burn. We just don't know why it caught fire."
DPS investigators were in the process of identifying the body Friday, but Haile said he was unsure when the identification would be complete. After identification, an autopsy will be conducted on the body, which will help determine if the man died from injuries suffered in the wreck or from the fire.
Help for schools possible
Morris News Service
AUSTIN - Texas school districts facing enrollment loss would be granted something of a financial reprieve under a bill now on its way to the governor. Senate Bill 450 from Sen. Robert Duncan, R-Lubbock, permits school districts with a loss greater than 2 percent from one year to the next to receive state funding at up to 98 percent of their prior year funds.
The Texas Education Commissioner would have $25 million to distribute to those districts based on the number of needy districts.
Perry gets school bills
Morris News Service
AUSTIN - Education initiatives from Sen. Teel Bivins, R-Amarillo, have been approved by the Texas Legislature and may now be considered by Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
A math initiative the governor has lauded from the beginning of the legislative session provides for a "master math teacher" program in which teachers who qualify would receive annual stipends to teach at high-need campuses and to mentor others Much of the state's 43,000 teacher shortage is in math and science courses.

Apple iPhone 4S pre-orders top 1 mn in 24 hours
Submitted by Jamie Williamson on Tue, 10/11/2011 - 03:08
San Francisco, Oct 11 - Apple announced Monday that pre-orders of its iPhone 4S have topped one million in a single day, surpassing the previous single-day pre-order record of the company's smartphone, Xinhua reported.
The iPhone 4S pre-orders surpassed one million in the first 24 hours and the previous single day pre-order record held by iPhone 4 is 600,000, according to Apple.
"We are blown away with the incredible customer response to iPhone 4S," Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, said in a statement.
"The first day pre-orders for iPhone 4S have been the most for any new product that Apple has ever launched and we are thrilled that customers love iPhone 4S as much as we do," he added.
The iPhone 4S, which looks the same as the iPhone 4 but has major hardware upgrade inside, is available for pre-order last Friday and set to first arrive in stores in the United States this Friday.
So far, iPhone 4, which, according to Apple, has been sold more than the first three generations of iPhones combined, is Apple's best selling iPhone.
The pre-order numbers are good news for Apple as the initial introduction of iPhone 4S last Tuesday has not lived up to the anticipation of some investors and analysts, and spurred a new wave of concerns about whether the company could keep its innovation momentum in the wake of the passing of its co-founder Steve Jobs last Wednesday.

WITH TIME winding down and the game out of reach, Sean Couturier poked at the puck near the boards and twirled to skate toward the Flyers bench for a line change.
He didn't make it back to the bench without the help of a trainer, as Penguins forward James Neal flattened the Flyers' high-flying rookie with a blindside hit.
"The puck wasn't even close, nowhere close," Jaromir Jagr said. "I thought it was kind of a dirty play."
Somehow, the Flyers made it through Game 3 relatively unscathed. The only players who didn't finish the game - Kimmo Timonen, Wayne Simmonds, Scott Hartnell and Zac Rinaldo - were out because of discipline and not injury.

Yondr gives venues and artists the tools to create phone-free events and spaces. In a technology-filled world, Yondr is the easiest way to maintain authenticity, privacy, and exclusivity.
As people enter the venue, their phones will be placed in Yondr cases.
Once they enter the phone-free zone, the cases will lock. Attendees maintain possession of their phones and are now free to enjoy the experience without distraction...
If at any point attendees need to use their phones, they simply step outside of the phone-free zone to unlock the case.
Smartphones have fundamentally changed how we live. How to integrate them into our lives as a useful tool, rather than a compulsive habit, is a question that needs an answer.
We think smartphones have incredible utility, but not in every setting. In some situations, they have become a distraction and a crutch—cutting people off from each other and their immediate surroundings.
Yondr has a simple purpose: to show people how powerful a moment can be when we aren't focused on documenting or broadcasting it.

Scene: Yesterday. Sophia's Pediatricians Office (who we lovingly refer to as Dr. Tool). She's here for her two-month check up, although she is just over 10 weeks now. The Doctor hasn't yet entered the office.
Bookish Girl: Robby, look through the drawers and find some Chux Pads.
Robby: Are you asking me to steal these?
BG: The lactation consultant told me to do this. She said that they will come in handy when I am pumping in my office at work. They'll absorb any spills, you know how clumsy I am. Besides, it is not really stealing…our insurance is paying an arm and a leg for our visit and these supplies are part of our visit. Just grab them!
Robby gives Bookish Girl "the look". Clearly he doesn't approve of this rationalization. He reluctantly stuffs three Chux Pads into the diaper bag as he stares at the door out of the corner of his eyes.
Robby: What if Dr. Tool walks in?
BG: He won't care – we'll just tell him why we need them.
Meanwhile – I am nursing Sophia. She had a bit of a melt down as soon as we walk in the door. I think she knows she is going to get stabbed with a needle during the visit.
The Dr enters with a third year med student who will take our initial information, he is about 12 years old. I continue to breast feed throughout the exam with both Drs. present and in full view of my boob.
We finish the exam, Sophia is stuck with the needles (as a side note: I don't think I'll ever be the same, that scream will live with me forever.), and the Drs. leave. I am trying to calm Sophia who has reached epic levels of panic. I look over at Rob who is stuffing MORE CHUX PADS into our bag.
BG: What are you doing? You were barely able to grab those before!
R: The doctors got to see your boobs. This is a give and take relationship and they have to pay up with SOMETHING. They see your boobs. We get to take home more Chux pads.
Our marriage has reached a new level.
A look at my boobs is equal in value to a stack of Chux pads…super absorbent hospital grade Chux pads.
Watch out girls – the jealousy may kill you.

on October 27, 2010 - 12:01 AM
Decades ago, when I was in elementary school in Denton, Texas, like a lot of kids I came home after school and went straight to the kitchen.
But I didn't just open the refrigerator door and stare at the contents; I tied on an apron and started baking.
I had two cookbooks by the time I was 12 -- a red-and-white checked children's cookbook by Better Homes and Gardens, and "Betty Crocker's Cooky Book," which I still have today. My specialties: chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies and peanut butter cookies, along with fudge that I'd make from my mom's New York Times cookbook. I remember feeling so grown up using a candy thermometer.
Thank goodness my father was a dentist.
Last time I was home, my 12-year-old nephew, Logan, made a surprise for his father's birthday -- a crazy-sweet cookie made with M&Ms, peanut butter and marshmallows, if you can imagine -- from his very first cookbook. I've taught him, along with his sister, Landrie, who's 7, how to make pizzas and roll out the dough, and we've often made cookies together, too, but this was the first batch that he made all by himself.
(Landrie, by the way, is still wearing her chef training wheels, but she's quickly perfecting the Easy-Bake oven confetti cakes.)
They've already learned how satisfying it is to make something yourself -- either for yourself or to share with your friends and family -- whether you're 7, 12, or, in my case, something -- ahem -- a little beyond that.
Since the after-school lull is prime baking time, when the kitchen is still quiet before the dinner rush, I've come up with a few recipes that kids can make on their own. Before starting on their math homework.
>Fruit-at-the-Bottom Yogurt Pops
2 cups plain yogurt
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
24 frozen raspberries (see note)
In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, sugar and vanilla.
Pour into the ice-pop molds only until 2/3 full. Now add the raspberries, gently pushing them down into the yogurt mixture. Make sure there's enough yogurt mixture to "hold" the raspberries and that it comes all the way up to the top (if it doesn't, just spoon a little more yogurt mixture into the mold).
Slide into the freezer for a few hours.
Note: You may use any fruit that you like, but blackberries, blueberries and small strawberries work best, because you don't need to cut them up.
Per yogurt pop: 141 calories, 2g fat, 24g carbohydrates, 7g protein, 7mg cholesterol, 86mg sodium, 2g dietary fiber, 13 percent of calories from fat.
>Peanut Butter-Banana Smoothies
1 frozen banana (see note)
1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
Break up the frozen banana with your hands into 3 or 4 pieces and put in a blender. Now, add the peanut butter and milk. Cover, and blend for a minute or two until it's smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass and enjoy! Makes one smoothie.
Note: No frozen bananas? Simply use a room-temp banana and add a cup of ice.
Per smoothie: 265 calories, 11g fat, 37g carbohydrates, 9g protein, 9mg cholesterol, 137mg sodium, 4g dietary fiber, 35 percent of calories from fat.
>Mexican Pita Pizza
1 piece pita bread (unsliced and left whole)
1/2 cup refried black beans
1 tablespoon salsa (mild)
1 tablespoon shredded cheese, such as cheddar, Monterrey Jack or a mix of the two
1 teaspoon cilantro for garnish (optional)
Preheat oven to broil. First, toast the pita bread so that it's more like a pizza crust by placing it directly on an oven rack and setting the timer for 30 seconds. When the buzzer goes off, put on a baking mitt and use long tongs to flip the pita bread over to the other side. Set the timer again, but watch carefully -- this side may take less than 30 seconds to toast.
Using the tongs, take the crispy pita "crust" out of the oven, place it on a cookie sheet, and carefully smear 1 tablespoon of refried beans all over the surface. Add the salsa, and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the pizza. Sprinkle the cilantro on top, if you'd like.
Slide the cookie sheet into the oven, and set the timer for 1 minute. Again, watch carefully, because you are just melting the cheese. When the buzzer goes off, use a pot holder to pull the hot pan from the oven.
Use kitchen scissors to cut pizza into 6 pieces, and share, if you'd like. Makes one pizza; serves 1-2.
Per serving, based on 1: 335 calories, 4g fat, 58g carbohydrates, 15g protein, 7mg cholesterol, 973mg sodium, 8g dietary fiber, 12 percent of calories from fat.
>Cinnamon-Apple Muffin 'Pies'
4 slices white or wheat bread, crusts removed
1/4 stick butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled and cored
1/4 lemon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With a rolling pin, roll out each piece of bread as flat as you can. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a glass dish in the microwave for 10 seconds. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon. If the peeled apple pieces aren't already cut in bite-size pieces, carefully do this. Pieces should be a little less than an inch -- you want to be able to easily pile them into the muffin tins. Put the apple pieces in a bowl and squeeze the lemon quarter over them and toss with a spoon. This will keep the apples from turning brown.
Take a brush, dip it in the bowl of melted butter, and "paint" the four muffin tins with the butter, making sure to go up the sides. Now, very gently press each piece of bread into the buttered muffin molds (there will be extra bread sticking up on each side; don't worry about this).
Pour the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture over the apples and toss to coat. Now add the melted butter and toss again. Divide the apple pieces among the four muffin crusts. Slide into the oven and set the timer for 20 minutes. Eat these warm or cold. These are great served with vanilla ice cream. Makes 4.
Per serving per "pie": 170 calories, 7g fat, 26g carbohydrates, 3g protein, 16mg cholesterol, 210mg sodium, 3g dietary fiber, 35 percent of calories from fat.

Dr. Xenon
"One of the Finest SF; superlative narration!"
This title was recommended to us as a Hugo & Nebula Award winner in the Audible intro to A.C. Clarke's "Rendezvous with Rama". Compelling, annoying, fascinating, and loaded with heartache and that "being there" sensation (verisimilitude), this was our best science fiction listen to date. We could hardly wait until our next listening session to see what would happen next, and how it would happen. Even though the protagonist is a bit of a jerk we have total empathy with him.
We only wish the remaining three books of Pohl's "Heechee" series were available on audio!!!
Hey Audible, don't raise prices and I promise to buy lots more books.
"A waste of time"
After a rather long hiatus from writing reviews, one would think that I would return with one about a well received book. Unfortunately, this is not to be the case. I was enticed to read this book based on a great review by Ryan who, it turns out, writes a great review about not so great a book. He said he read the book several times since he was a kid. While it is not a particularly interesting adult book, it is definitely Not a "kids' book." This book managed to capture not only the Hugo award but also the Nebula. How it did so is beyond me except there must not have been very good writing back in 1978.
The premise of the story starts off interesting: a long, disappeared race of beings leaves behind a fleet of spacecraft that present-day "prospectors" take to unknown destinations in search of wealth and fame. The destinations are unknown because the craft are not well understood and the explorer / prospectors just go along for the "programmed" ride and hopefully don't end up dying along the way or at their destinations because after millennia the destination star system may have gone or is in the process of going nova. Or, maybe the destination is invested with poison ivy and the visitors get all itchy and scratch themselves to death. No, I'm not making this up.
The hero, who is not much of a hero, let's just call him the protagonist, throughout the book has conversation with a robotic teddy bear who is his automated psychotherapist. These sessions include excursions into the realms of not so traditional sex to our protagonist's relationship with his mother. I'm no prude. This is not what's so wrong with this book. It was just all pure detritus. The book was not interesting, the narrator could not and did not save the written word. Sometimes a good narrator will do that. Not here. The book has an unsatisfying ending and in no way, shape or form could I recommend it for anyone or anything… Not for anything except maybe starting a fire in your fireplace on a day like this. And if you have a digital copy, well sorry, it's not even good for that.
"Not the best of Pohl"
Interesting, Unusual, ok
Title sounds fine.
I've read a lot of Pohl and this was pretty good it didn't have the "wow" factor of some of his other stories and books. His story "Tunnel Under the World" is a good example of that.
"Worth Reading Managing Expectations"
The performance is excellent. The story holds together but seems somewhat contrived and really challenges believability. Also the personality of the hero would never pass screening tests for any space flight assignment.
"Very pleasantly surprised"
As I started listening, I couldn't understand why this book had gotten so many accolades. But it speaks for itself. "Wow!" Was what I said after the final line of the book. Powerful. And worth the read. Oh! And with some pretty amazing soliloquy and characterizations as well.
"Wow Zig freed"
Space travel not so fun
The Shrink well there is only 2 in the actual story
Not yet I will I have a long wish list
Being back form space is the hard part
A must reed for every ScyFi fan
"A masterpiece"
I loved this book as a child and I loved it even more now. The real beauty of the book is that the protagonist really is just as horrible a person as he thinks he is. For most of the book, the reader is compelled to support him, despite his crippling emotional problems -- even pity him for them. The final reveal at the end of the book changes your view of him completely. It's very unexpected to the reader, but not unanticipated by the story. And when you're still reeling from that, Sigfrid von Shrink closes the book with one of the most powerful scenes I've read/heard.
The narration of this book is solid, each character has a distinct voice without resorting to silly accents. The scenes with Sigfrid are extremely well acted, without too much melodrama, but enough trembling and emotion in the voice of the main character (and their complete absence in the voice of Sigfrid) to really convey the story effectively.
One of the things I'd really like to see is a revised edition where they include the sidebars with contextual fragments (letters, quotes from magazines, corporation regulations) that were in the original text, but are missing here. Perhaps use a separate narrator for those.
Apart from that, this was a thoroughly enjoyable listen for me. One of the only bugbears I have is that Pohl's original characters seem sometimes to be racial caricatures. (Bakin is a name basically reserved for a famous japanese novelist. No one is called Bakin anymore. Shikitei isn't a name, and Ituno isn't even a name that can be pronounced in Japanese. Dane isn't a russian name, etc.). Many sci-fi authors are guilty of this, though (I'm looking at you, Orson Scott Card).
"Unlikable characters but still a good story"
Definitely. The characters feel very real and flawed while at the same time Pohl makes you feel this sense of wonder and adventure and terror of space.
The AI. Its the most likable character by far.
He's a good reader.
"Would you go?" - shows the open hatch and dark interior of a gateway ship.
Pohl really knows how to get you into a story and make it feel real in a way few sci-fi authors can match. The whole gateway series maintained or even improved this as it progressed.
"Pohl remains relevant."
This was my first exposure to the work of Frederik Pohl, and the result was surprising. Going in I expected this novel to be more dated and was pleasantly surprised at how fresh it was. The science fiction aspects are still thought provoking and the humanity that binds the story always will be.
Also, I've listened to many titles from this narrator, who is always great.
I focus mainly on History, Endurance Sports and Science/Speculative Fiction books.
"Sigfried Von Shrink at Your Service..."
Yes. Great job, one of my all time favorites on Audible.
The ending is very, very well done. But the juxtaposition of Robin's sessions with Sigfried vs. his memory of what happened is so well done that the entire novel is memorable. This won a Hugo Award for good reason. It is a terrific sci fi novel.
I read Sci Fi to be entertained, a break from my work and life itself. But elements of Gateway are pretty heavy, since much of the novel is an indictment and an endorsement of psychological counseling. The readers made it interesting but not overly dramatic. Parts of the novel deal with sex, sexual norms and it was done in a way that was not lecherous. Overall they did a great job and I cannot imagine it being done better.
No I never do that... but I listened to it pretty quickly. Although Robin is not an entirely likeable characters, I found myself wanting to know what happened. That is ultimately what a good story is to me, investing in the characters.
Great job Audible!

St. Vincent De Paul in Clarkston has experienced a number of thefts in the past, but now security cameras have been placed around the inside and outside of the store.
Cody Warren works for both the Clarkston and Lewiston stores. He said he can't believe someone would steal from a store like this.
"You can tell if it's been dropped off and if people have rummaged through it," said Warren. "There is garbage everywhere, or if they've picked through the good cloths; it's something that really hurts the community because we are giving back."
Store Manager Sharon Berry said they've been working closely with the Clarkston Police Department to find the people responsible for stealing the donations. She said if anyone wants to donate, but doesn't have time to drop off their items, let them know and they can pick it up for you.

Customer Reviews
Swinging good time!
1.1 Update: The new baboon level is fantastic fun!
I beta tested this game, and I must say, it is a blast! Simply send the randomly floating monkeys back home to their correct space station. But the challenge is to maximize your points by chaining monkeys together into long strings before sending them home. But wait too long, and you run the risk of crashing into something else and losing. Crisp graphics, and several different types of levels, make this game a joy to play. And the online scoreboard keeps me coming back for more. Great stuff!
I was a beta tester for this game. It's really awesome. I love how you can chain the monkeys together as you send them home. It's a great new game mechanic and a ton of fun! Overall everything about the game is well polished. Global leaderboards, great music, beautiful graphics, funny sounds, addicting game play, it's got it all. Nice work!
Best game I have purchased to date ..
This game is a lot of fun. It is the only game I play every day. It is worth every penny and unlike other games with lots of "hype" that you only play once and think that was a waste -- you will revisit this game time and time again. Great Work.
