... surprise - just a lovely place to visit with a quaint old town filled with a mixture of locals and tourists but we felt so safe and comfortable which is a rarity in some parts of Europe. Plenty of seedy back streets selling sex and who knows what else, though but you cant have the sweet without the sour!

Suede belt
Suede belt is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 4 out of 5 by shopaholic from nice belt The suede on this belt is very nice and looks to be good quality. Unfortunately, I have to return the two I bought for my sons because they were too small. I don't know why they can't make a belt to fit the size waist they wear instead of having to size up. Doesn't make sense to me!
Date published: 2015-12-27
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gavin from Belt Sizing I wear 35 waist pants from J Crew, this belt description says fits 2 sizes up and down, so I ordered a 34 and could not even get it to the first hole. Order one size larger than you typically would.
Date published: 2015-10-15
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gary from Suede belt This is a great casual belt works well with jeans. The quality is quite nice. Great color, remember your fashion sense, if your wearing brown shoes a brown belt is a must. The suede is nice and the belt is flexible and comfortable.

Android is the best mobile OS because it is the most advanced mobile OS not because it is the most common mobile OS.

Samsung hastily put together an announcement that Galaxy S5 will have a 64bit processor after Apple's Sept 10 announcement on iPhone5S and A7. Then Samsung back tracked 2 days later to say it would be misguided to produce a 64bit mobile processor. It was apparently that Samsung was caught surprised by the A7 and responded in a conflicting manner.
1. If Samsung has indeed manufactured the A7, how could Samsung corporate not know about this months earlier? They should have known about this back in late 2012. In Samsung style, they would have made an announcement on the position about the 64bit processor months earlier to conter Apple. But they didn't.
2. According to another trade publication from Taiwan, Most of the A7 information leak including it being dual core came from Taiwanese Industrial sources. Leading one to believe the TSMC has much more involvement with A7 than Samsung.
But then the same Taiwanese source also said that A7 will be sourced from both Samsung and TSMC.
I just find it so odd that Samsung corporate with their billion dollar marketing budget would be caught so blindsided when Apple 64bit processor was manufactured in their own house, which they had for months.
Things just don't add up her
Samsung made the first A15 socs 2012, while Apple was still using halfbaked A9, modified till 2013.
18. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
Samsung knows how to produce 64bits but do not see a compelling reason.

With Windows Phone 8 there is no glaring flaw, or huge omission that makes the entire operating system a pain to use, but more a combination of smaller factors and annoyances that aren't present on other established platforms. What makes these issues more annoying is that with a bit of extra time, polish and development, all of them could be addressed in a future update with relative ease.
The principle used for Windows Phone, like iOS, is that for the most part it "just works" with little configuration needed. For end-users and those with lesser experience using smartphones, this approach is fantastic as a complex array of settings and options can be overwhelming, and often some feature highlights can be missed unless you are told they are there. With Windows Phone the best stuff is enabled by default, and a variety of other extra features are very easy to enable.

What's your definition of "advanced"?

If you even remotely want to point that your ugly WP is best, then just sit down kid, you said the same to WP 8 which was seriously crap.
Its okay, we understand, you are butthurt because of that comic strip didn't mention WP, but you see no one cares about 4% market, no apps and games platform. :)

If they think that the only advantage having a 64bit CPU, is to address more RAM than 3GB then they must learn the basics about CPU architecture and RAM.
64bit CPU means that at once, the CPU will be able to grab a chunk 64bit instructions and execute them. As a result it enables CPU to address more than 3GB of RAM.

Absolutely, since Android is FAR from 64bit ready.

PA is anything else than a tech site.

43. willard12 (Posts: 1963; Member since: 04 Jul 2012)
The best definition of "advanced" is probably measured by the number of features that are "adopted" by other operating systems. The most advanced OS is probably the one others go to to learn about command centers, notifications, and widgets. You know, the things that no one cared about until Apple announced they would have them years later. Advanced means you can do basic things such manage files. Apple waits to see what Android will have so they can implement it years later, not the other way around.

Android L will be 64 bit. Besides Android has been using 64 bit processors for some time already. With the 64bit Intel CPUs.
63. sgodsell (Posts: 4518; Member since: 16 Mar 2013)
One so call underrated feature that no one has adopted from Android is its virtual machine (VM). Some will look at this feature as Androids Achilles heel or just think its dumb, stupid, and slow. But those people are short sighted. Especially since Android can run the same apps from the play store on x86, MIPS and the plethora of Arm CPUs. This help to propel Android to where it is today on all the hardware that is out there. Not to mention this is why project Ara will succeed. I would love to see iOS or WP try to do something like project Ara, but I already know that both those OS's would never work, because they locked their developers into specific hardware. Apple with their A# specific arm chips and Microsoft locked to specific cortex-A# CPUs from Qualcomm.
Project Ara is even allowing for two AP modules (Application processor). How would that work with iOS or WP. That's right it wouldn't without a major overall, and even then iOS and WP apps are compiled and locked to specific hardware anyway. This one feature alone is going to propel Android into the future.

Explain to us what is advanced about Android, An advance OS runs proper from low end to high.

Students discuss the physical concept of equilibrium as a balancing of forces and observe an experiment to demonstrate what happens to a soda can when the interior and exterior forces are not in equilibrium. An analogy is made between this experiment and core collapse in stars, to show the importance of maintaining equilibrium in stars. Finally, students participate in an activity which demonstrates how mass is ejected from a collapsed star in a supernova explosion, thereby dispersing heavier elements throughout the Universe. This activity is part of a series that has been designed specifically for use with Girl Scouts, but the activities can be used in other settings. Most of the materials are inexpensive or easily found. It is recommended that a leader with astronomy knowledge lead the activities, or at least be available to answer questions, whenever possible.

Sindhi diaspora

The Sindhi diaspora consists of Sindhi people who have emigrated from the Sindh province in Pakistan to other countries and regions of the world, as well as their descendants. Apart from South Asia, there is a large and well-established community of Sindhis throughout different continents of the world - including Canada, Malaysia, Oman, Singapore, UAE, USA and UK etc.[1]
Within Pakistan, Sindhis have historically maintained contact and settlement connections with the Balochistan region and areas constituting Southern Punjab. Today, there are many clans in these regions which claim Sindhi heritage; one notable example in southern Punjab is the Mahar tribe. Sindhis who have mixed Balochi origins are known as the Sindhi Baloch; there are many different Baloch tribes which have genetic links in Sindh and vice versa.
Following the independence in 1947, most of the Sindhi Hindu community migrated to India. Today, there are over 3.8 million Sindhis living in India.[2] Most of these Sindhi migrants have established settlements in Western India.
It is estimated that around 10,700 Sindhi of Afghanistan are part of a much larger Sindhi people group. Almost all of the Sindhi in Afghanistan are Hanafite Muslim.[3]
United Kingdom[edit]
United States[edit]
There is a sizeable population of Sindhis in the U.S. The World Sindhi Institute is a Sindhi human rights organisation formed by Sindhi Americans and expatriates based in the United States.
Many Indian Indonesians belonging to the Hindu faith have origins in the Sindh region. In Australia, there is a small and vibrant community of Sindhis too; the Sydney Sindhi Association is a cultural organisation formed by expatriate Indian Hindu Sindhis in Sydney. They celebrate the many cultural events which are celebrated back home.[4]

Chapter 2
Bound and gagged, I laid helpless on the floor of the van while they sped away from the bank. The driver was definitely speeding, I could almost feel the ground rushing past beneath the floor of the car. With no seatbelt, I rolled and bounced with every bump and turn of the road.
I tried to listen to them, my fear making all the voices and sounds blend together so I couldn't understand a word. Tears spilled out of my eyes as we hit a bump and I flew into the seat in front of me, banging my head on the armrest.
Unlike before, when time passed as slowly as the last few seconds of a basketball game, these seconds were flying by.
When the car finally came to a stop, and I was untied and helped out of the car, I caught a glimpse of the digital clock on the dashboard. It had felt like a mere five minutes, but in reality, it had been an hour and a half. I was now an hour and a half away from Andrew, and my parents, and my school, and my friends. Everything I had ever known, I was that much farther away.
"Walk." A threatening, furious whisper in my ear.
I nodded, my feet hitting the still, solid ground for the first time in an hour and a half. My legs shook, kind of like when you get off a ship after a long cruise. The man that had lifted me out of the car kept a firm grip on my shoulder, though to any bystander it would only look as if he had his arm around my comfortingly. He made me follow a woman down the sidewalk.
My legs moved mechanically, without me telling them to, letting my mind focus on other things. Like where I was.
My eyes wandered around us, taking in every detail of the friendly neighborhood surrounding us. I scanned the sides of the street for a street sign, or any clue to where we were.
"Whatshe lookin at?" a voice from in front of us said softly.
"Nothin. I got her. Don't worry." He put his hand on my head and turned it frontwards. "Dont screw this up," he hissed at me.
I frowned, my mind flashing back to the guns they had held in front of the bank, wondering if he had a gun right at that moment, hidden beneath his thick sweatshirt.
We followed the woman up a driveway and into the garage of a small house that was painted brown, with white shutters on the windows, and a well-kept garden along the porch. The beauty of this soon-to-be prison struck me.
Inside, his grip on me tightened, and as the garage door slid shut, i was thrown against the back wall, and then onto the ground. As soon as I was laying flat on the cold cement floor, three of them surrounded me, holding me down as the woman retied my hands and feet together, and gagged me.
"Shut it, please, please be still," the woman said, attempting a soothing tone. "Jack?" she said.
One of the men stepped forward and held my shoulders down, making it impossible for me to struggle against them.
I thought I knew what was going to happen. My heart started pounding in my chest, and I tried screaming, only to have it muffled by my gag. I kicked and struggled against his strong grip as best as I could.
"Knock it off!" he exclaimed. "We're not going to hurt you."
I shook my head, not looking him in the eyes, still fighting against him.
"Hey!" He yelled.
I stopped, startled. My eyes met his for the first time.
"I said, we aren't going to hurt you. Do you understand?"
I nodded, something about his voice calming me.
Or maybe it was the odor coming off the handkerchief that was being held over my mouth and noise that was calming me. Was I being drugged? From far away in the back of my mind a distant memory rose. Me, at nine years old, cross-legged on my bed, eyes wide with wonder as I read another Nancy Drew novel, imagining what it would be like to be drugged with- what was it called?- oh. Chloroform. Yes, that was it. In almost every Nancy Drew novel, someone was drugged with-
Everything started to blur around me, I blinked furiously, trying to keep my eyes from staying shut.
He let go of my shoulders and undid the gag. "What's your name?" he asked.
"Tessa," I murmured as I slipped into a dreamless sleep.

Hi folks,
Anyone using the Mountain Hardware Quasar pants and can tell me how to got on with them in the field.

Possibly useful info: The MH Dry-Q bivy has abysmal ratings when I was researching bivy's. Maybe that particular proprietary fabric has a long way to go.
In my experience, MH does a good job of turning over product lines based on complaints. The rate they evolve is a lot faster than most companies. So, maybe there's been big differences between older lines and newer ones. Good luck!Sep 26, 2013 at 11:30 pm #2028784

I do not have experience with the quasar pants. I just wanted to point out the bivy mentioned above is made with Dry.Q Core, a very different (cheaper and less breathable) material than the Dry.Q Elite used in the quasar pants.Sep 27, 2013 at 5:12 am #2028799

I also have no actual experience with these pants, but I'll chime in a few thoughts anyways.
As I'm sure you know, these are heavy pants (13oz) so I assume you've got some winter use planned and thus value the weight put into features like the full side zips, heavier waistband design and integrated gaiters. I think these hold promise as winter use pants for someone who is careful with their gear. If you're a hack on skis, you're going to get cuts pretty quickly outside of the relatively small reinforced areas on the inner ankle. I have the Quasar jacket, and the fabric is a good 3-layer material, but it wouldn't hold up well to ski edges (not much does).
The Dry Q Elite membrane is eVent but with MH's own face nylon, so it's a good membrane. I usually don't value premium membranes in rain pants since my lower body perspires less, but again if you plan on wearing them all day for winter use then the premium membrane is a good idea.
I guess all I'm really saying is that they're really a winter pant, and if you intend to use them for that then they should be pretty good, but of course I can't comment on real world considerations like fit. The apparently #3 zips might be a bit on the light/wimpy side, but again if you're careful with your gear then these could be a good pant. I see them working well for snowshoeing, nordic skiing and gentle AT use. Here's a few reviews:

Barclays Built for Business Competition
Budding entrepreneurs from NPTC Groups Neath Campus travelled to Londons very own business capital - Canary Wharf - recently to compete in the final of the Barclays Built for Business Competition.
Hot from the success of being one of only eight teams chosen from across the UK to compete, the all girl group of A Level students got the chance to pitch their business idea, The Mov-ees; a mobile cinema with themed nights designed to entertain young people in a safe environment, to a panel of expert judges including Chris Hearn, Head of Education at Barclays and Sylvia Perrins, CEO of The National Skills Academy for Financial Services.
The team who were runners-up in the competition displayed great presentation skills, and demonstrated that they had researched their idea well. They gave a fantastic pitch and also benefitted from a careers workshop which helped them brush up on their CV writing and interviewing skills.
Miranda Thomas, NPTC Groups Enterprise Officer, who accompanied the team to the competition, is now working with the girls to get their idea off the ground locally said:
I felt tremendously proud of the team. As well as having the chance to show off their entrepreneurial skills, the girls demonstrated great professionalism throughout the competition and were a credit to themselves and the College.
In 2014, over 130 colleges across the UK ran a Barclays Money Skills week with an estimated 150,000 students taking part in money management, employability and enterprise-themed activities and the support of over 530 Barclays employee volunteers provided via the programme.
The Barclays Money Skills week programme, which was launched in 2010, is delivered in partnership by Barclays and the National Skills Academy for Financial Services, together with CollegesWales, NOW in Northern Ireland and the Colleges Development Network in Scotland.

Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota (ELA/Literacy only), Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, U.S. Virgin Islands, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming 4 Primary Intent The New ELA/Literacy and Math Curriculum Frameworks, comprised primarily of the Common Core State Standards, were written explicitly to define the knowledge and skills that students must master to be college and career ready by the end of high school. 5 What is the College and Career Ready Threshold In Each of the Frameworks? ELA/Literacy Mathematics • In the ELA Framework there is a set of broad, College and Career Ready Standards for each of the areas of reading, writing, speaking/listening, and language. They anchor grade-specific standards in each of those areas. • The CCR Standards, working in tandem with the high school (9-12) standards, define the CCR threshold. • In the Mathematics Framework the CCR threshold is comprised of the high school standards that are not marked "+". • Mastering those standards would prepare a student for a first-year, college creditbearing math course such as college algebra. • Mastering high school standards marked "+" would prepare a student for more advanced math courses than college algebra. 6 Key Features New ELA/Literacy Framework • Promotes students' ability to read and comprehend increasingly complex text and write to a source – CCR Reading Standard 10: Read and comprehend complex literary and informational text independently and proficiently. – CCR Writing Standard 9: Draw evidence from literary and informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research. • Promotes the idea that teaching literacy skills is not just the job of the English teacher – Literacy standards for History and Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. • Promotes the development of strong research skills – Key to college and career readiness are research and media skills. These skills are blended throughout the standards, rather than treated in a separate section. 7 Key Features New Mathematics Framework The new standards support improved curriculum and instruction due to increased: – FOCUS, via critical areas at each grade level – COHERENCE, through carefully developed connections within and across grades – CLARITY, with precisely worded standards that cannot be treated as a checklist – RIGOR, including a focus on College and Career Readiness and Standards for Mathematical Practice throughout Pre-K-12 8 Transitioning Curriculum and Instruction to the New Frameworks Timeline for Preschools, Districts, Colleges and Universities 2010-2011 2011-2012 2012-2013 Initial Planning Partial Implementation Near Full Implementation Build awareness and identify what needs to change and how it will be changed Continue planning and make changes in targeted grades, subjects, and courses Implement balance of changes 9 Transitioning Curriculum and Instruction to the New Standards How the DESE and Readiness Centers will Help 2010-2011 Initial Planning 2011-2012 Partial Implementation 2012-2013 Near Full Implementation • Orientations • Crosswalks • Modules • RTTT $$$ •Targeted support • Model Curriculum • PD courses • RTTT $$$ • Targeted support • Model Curriculum • Formative Assessment System • PD courses • RTTT $$$ •Targeted support 10 Other Support for the Transition • Foundations Bill and Melinda Gates, Carnegie, Annie Casey, Pearson • Non Profits Council of Chief State School Officers, Achieve, College Board, National Governors Association, education associations; in Massachusetts, the Readiness Centers, public and private colleges and universities, and organizations such as Strategies for Children, the MA Business Alliance for Education, and the Rennie Center • USED Race to the Top Grants, Striving Readers Comprehensive Literacy Grant Program, ESEA reauthorization • Assessment Consortia Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Career (PARCC) and Smarter Balanced • Unions American Federation of Teachers/ American Educator, Winter 2010/2011 11 Transitioning MCAS to the New Standards Objective: (1) Fairness (2) Maintain Trendline 2010-2011 Initial Planning 2011-2012 Partial Implementation 2012-2013 Near Full Implementation MCAS No changes based on former Frameworks MCAS Focus on standards common to former and new Frameworks MCAS Focus on standards common to former and new Frameworks Will also assess selected standards from the former Frameworks not included in the new Frameworks* Will also assess selected standards from new Frameworks not included in former Frameworks* * This transition plan applies to grades 3 to 8; the transition plan for grade 10 is being determined. In spring 2011, ESE will release a list of the standards that will be assessed on the 2012 MCAS. 12 Looking Ahead • Preschools, districts and educator preparation programs should have curriculum and instruction fully aligned to the new frameworks by the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year • MCAS in grades 3-8 will be based exclusively on the new frameworks in spring 2014 • Pending its successful development, Massachusetts will transition to PARCC for ELA and math in 2014-2015 • Similar standards development process for science and engineering, with standards expected in mid-2012 and a transition period to follow • Standards for English Language Learners, Comprehensive Health, History and Social Science, the Arts, and Foreign Languages will be added to the revision cycle 13 Continuing Updates • The 2011 Frameworks and crosswalks are available at http://www.doe.mass.edu/candi/commoncore • Please check this site regularly for additional resources and updates on professional development. 14

Chapter Five: Rumors (II)
Majority of the day passed by with me hanging out with these four new 'friends' of mine. At least, that's what they called themselves. All of them were being rather polite and courteous with me, especially Adrian, who I figured out later was the taller, dark haired guy who happened to be captain of the soccer team.Alex (who actually preferred being called by his full name – Alexander) was the other one. I guessed that him and Adrian were brothers, or related in some way as they looked a lot alike, although Alex's hair was a darker shade of brown, and his eyes were grey and a lot more...troubled.
I hadn't seen him open his mouth all day though he had gestured and made some form of communication with Adrian. Either way, they had to be brothers. Or 'best buds'. He kept mostly to himself otherwise, besides tuning into conversations the others started up and glancing at me from time to time. Maybe he found me intimidating but I quite believed it to be the other way around.
I wasn't interacting as much with the others. I had anti-social issues of my own going on right now. It didn't help that I'd somehow found my way into the 'popular' group. But there was one thing that did provoke an interesting conversation between the five of us.
"Did, by any chance, a girl named Maria attend this school before?"
My random question seemed to spark interest from Adrian, who looked up from the lunch meal in front of him, surprise shining in his green eyes. "Why do you ask?"
"Just that…" Come up with something smart. "I found something of hers in my house. And I assumed she must have attended this school."
"What did you find?" Leonardo asked.
"A school sports tee," I lied quickly. No way was I telling any of them about the diary. But I'd answered a little too fast and Leonardo smiled knowingly. The dude winked at me but didn't say anything more. "It had her name on it," I said in a more convincing tone.
Adrian cleared his throat and set down his fork. I turned my head, waiting for an answer as it looked like he was about to give me one. "Maria…" he started, smiling in a rather quirky way. "Maria was one of the foreign exchange students that joined last school year as a sophomore."
"Oh." Sophomore means she'd be about two years younger than us.
"She was…different." Adrian settled with that word which always confused me.
"Good different?"
"Not quite," Makayla said, exchanging a glance with her boyfriend. "She fit in and all, people immediately liked her. She seemed great…but there was always something off about her."
"She had identity issues," Leonardo said simply. "Family drama, personal doubts, and all those other things that mess a person up."
"But then she just magically changed when she befriended Rachelle," Adrian added, smile growing.
"Who's Rachelle? Is she still in this school?" I asked, remembering the girl that Maria had brought up in her diary, the one I'd really been dying to know about.
"Rachelle was a junior, a grade above Maria when they met. And no, she doesn't attend this school anymore and neither does Maria," Makayla said.
"What kind of a person is Rachelle?" I dug deeper.
"Beautiful," Alexander whispered. I blinked, a little fazed by the sound of his voice. It was the first time I was hearing him speak. He looked up to meet my gaze and I could swear his troubled grey eyes were smiling when he said, "She makes you feel beautiful."

India has jumped to the eighth position for tourist arrivals in Australia till May this year, with over 27.5 percent more Indians choosing the country as their travel destination.
The reason behind this hike is said to be the Cricket World Cup too. According to latest official data released by Tourism Australia (TA), India was ranked Australia's tenth largest inbound market for visitor arrivals in 2014 but figures during the five months this year has moved India to eighth position.
During January-May this year, a total of 105,000 Indian tourists have arrived in Australia as compared to over 82,000 tourists for the same period last year, recording an increase of more than 27.5 percent.
Australia ranked third for the Indian traveller in terms of aspiration and intention to visit, just behind Mauritius and Switzerland.
When it came to converting into actual trips undertaken for Indian tourists, Australia fell to ninth place, behind competitors such as the US, the UK and France, TA cited in its latest market profile for India.
It quoted a consumer research which found over one-third of Indian leisure tourists cited safety and security as their main motivation when selecting a travel destination while other important factors included world class beauty, value for money and family friendliness.
"Australia performs strongly in terms of its safety and security, world class beauty and interesting attractions among Indian leisure travellers. There is room for improvement with respect to Australia's associations with value for money, romance and good food and wine.
"Australia's coastline, wildlife and island experiences generate the greatest appeal for Indian travellers in terms of attractions, with aquatic wildlife rating as the preferred Australian experience for just under half of Indian respondents," TA said in its market profile for India.
It was further found that in 2014, 29 per cent of Indian visitors to Australia travelled on Singapore Airlines and 27 percent on Malaysia Airlines. "Last year, Air India has grown to 11 percent market share, and close to Qantas' share at 12 percent," it said, adding that Thai Airways share continued to decline which was currently at 6 per cent.
Direct capacity from India to Australia rose by 187 per cent following Air India launching Australian (Sydney/ Melbourne) services in August 2013 during 2014. As of this year, there were over 2,000 qualified Australian specialists in India who was trained as front-line travel sellers to sell Australia as the tourist destination. There were 196,600 visitors from India for the calendar year 2014, an increase of 16.6 percent compared to 2013. Visitors from India generated USD 0.8 billion in total expenditure last year.
The Tourism 2020 strategy has earlier estimated that India has the potential to grow to between $1.9 billion and $2.3 billion in total expenditure by 2020.

Why You Should Care About Google's Rumored Social Networking Service
Jeremy Scott
Rumors have been swirling for ages that Google is secretly building their own social networking service. Even before that Tweet from Digg's Kevin Rose got tong...
"Market share is the percentage of a market (defined in terms of either units or revenue) accounted for by a specific entity." In a survey of nearly 200 senior marketing managers, 67 percent responded that they found the "dollar market share" metric very useful, while 61% found "unit market share" very useful.
"Marketers need to be able to translate sales targets into market share because this will demonstrate whether forecasts are to be attained by growing with the market or by capturing share from competitors. The latter will almost always be more difficult to achieve. Market share is closely monitored for signs of change in the competitive landscape, and it frequently drives strategic or tactical action."
Increasing market share is one of the most important objectives of business. The main advantage of using market share as a measure of business performance is that it is less dependent upon macroenvironmental variables such as the state of the economy or changes in tax policy….

Forward Hakim Warrick scored 14 points to lead the Bucks to a 56-47 lead over the Orlando Magic at halftime Saturday night at the Bradley Center.
Getting eight points from forward Ersan Ilyasova, the Bucks led after one quarter, 26-21. The Bucks shot 39.1% but made 5 three-point shots, including two by Ilyasova. Orlando scored six straight points on layups to take an early 13-9 lead but was hurt by six turnovers. The Bucks outscored Orlando, 7-2, to close the quarter.
Milwaukee's Dan Gadzuric, who started on Orlando center Dwight Howard, picked up two fouls in the game's first 1 ½ minutes and took a seat for the rest of the first half. Howard had four points and six rebounds in the first quarter. Orlando's Vince Carter left the game early after getting hit in the mouth. He received four stitches in his lip and returned midway through the second quarter.
Warrick sparked the Bucks in the second quarter, sinking two free throws, two jumpers, and throwing down a fierce one-handed dunk to help Milwaukee to a 38-26 lead with 8 minutes left. Another jumper by Warrick and a three-pointer by Jodie Meeks pushed Milwaukee's lead to 43-29 and Orlando took a timeout with 7:01 left.
At that point, Howard and Rashard Lewis, who did not start the second quarter, re-entered the game and Lewis sank a three-pointer. Consecutive jumpers by guard Luke Ridnour and a three-pointer by Brandon Jennings helped the Bucks extend their lead to 53-36 but a three-point play by Howard and another by Brandon Bass helped Orlando cut into the lead in the final minutes.
Warrick scored 12 points in the second quarter.

New Delhi, Oct 28 (ANI): Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has said that raising funds for infrastructure development is not a big problem, and added that progress has been made in the Central Government's flagship 'Bharat Nirman' programme, which aims to upgrade rural infrastructure projects such as roads, water, electricity and telecom connectivity.
"Forty-one lakh crore rupees have to be raised in the 12th Five-Year Plan and the buoyant economy is enough to take care of it. Fiscal deficit will be brought down to 4.1 per cent of GDP by 2012-13," said Pranab Mukherjee, while addressing the Consultative Committee of Members of Parliament attached to the Finance Ministry on Wednesday evening.
"More than 30 percent of the total expenditure on infrastructure during the ongoing plan period will be utilised for building and upgrading rural infrastructure. The Ministry of Rural Development has also taken steps to implement rural development schemes through the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mode," he added.
Pranab Mukherjee termed energy security as a focus area and said that during the eleventh Plan, power generation capacity would reach around 62,000 MW.
"28,572 MW has already been added in the plan period so far, which is more than the entire capacity addition of 21,180 MW achieved during the 10th plan period," he said expressing confidence that the measures taken by Ministry of Environment and Forests will expedite the process of granting clearance for time-bound projects.
Speaking on the occasion, the Finance Ministers also called upon Members of Parliament to be involved in monitoring of schemes and projects funded by the Centre. (ANI)

Slaughter and May under fire for conflict on LSE bid" />Deutsche Börse last week appealed to the Takeover Panel for a ruling that Euronext, its rival bidder for the London Stock Exchange (LSE), is acting "in concert" or collaborating with Euroclear.
The Deutsche Börse's advisers Goldman Sachs and Ashurst cited as one piece of evidence the fact that Slaughter and May is advising both Euronext and Euroclear on competition aspects of the bid.
Slaughters' dual role could cause the firm considerable embarrassment given that the firm famously had rival Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer thrown off Philip Green's bid for Marks & Spencer over a conflict last June, although it is likely to have been a relatively minor consideration.
Freshfields, which is advising the LSE, also spoke to its client about Slaughters' dual role. However, the LSE's aim is to keep both bidders as strong as possible to get the best price.
It is understood that the Takeover Panel turned down the informal appeal because neither Euronext nor Euroclear have made recent trades in Deutsche Börse shares. However, Deutsche Börse could still go back should the situation change.
Milbank Tweed Hadley & McCloy partner Tim Emmerson said this could give a tactical advantage. "The main reason you don't want to be considered concert parties is because previous trades in the target's shares can set a floor on the offer price," he said.
Euronext and Euroclear, which handles share settlement for Euronext, have some financial links. Euronext has a small stake in Euroclear and chief executive Jean-Francois Theodore sits on both boards.
Euroclear has been critical of a tie-up between Deutsche Börse and the LSE because it would significantly reduce competition. Regulators may give less weight to Euroclear's views if it is acting in concert with Euronext, said Emmerson.
There is no suggestion that Slaughters did not obtain client consent. There is no direct conflict and the firm is running a Chinese wall. Ashurst, Freshfields, Slaughters and Deutsche Börse's PR firm Maitland declined to comment.

Flu shot myths busted
There are some myths that are keeping people from getting a flu shot!PHOTO: AP Photo
Yahoo! Health says the flu shot prevented 5 million cases of influenza last year.PHOTO: AP Photo
Here are some myths about the shot that just are not true.PHOTO: AP Photo
Myth: The flu shot gives you complete protection right away.
Truth -- the seasonal flu shot protects against the three strains that researchers think will be dominant that year. It takes up to two weeks for your body to gain protection after being vaccinated.
If you're exposed to the virus shortly before getting vaccinated or while you're waiting for your immune system to ramp up, or if you encounter another strain of the virus after you've had your shot, you can still end up with the flu.
Myth: You don't need the flu shot every year.
Truth: Dominant flu strains change, so researchers must reformulate the seasonal flu shot every year -- which means that last year's shot may not protect you from this year's most-prevalent virus.
Myth: Only elderly people need the flu shot.
Truth -- healthy people who are at low risk still spend time around family members who are much more susceptible to the virus.
If you have young children at home, or if you're a caregiver for anyone in a high-risk group, your getting the flu shot helps protect them as well.
Myth: Seasonal flu is annoying but harmless --—it feels like a bad cold, that's all.
Truth -- there are several key differences between the flu and a bad cold. If you have a sore throat and a runny or stuffy nose, it's likely that you have a common cold, not the flu.
Myth -- the flu shot is safe for everyone.
Truth: Babies younger than 6 months old and people who have had Guillain-Barre Syndrome should not receive the seasonal flu shot.
Myth: You can get the flu from a flu shot.
Truth: The flu shot is an inactivated vaccine, which means that the virus on it has been killed.
It's enough to trigger your immune system to start making antibodies, but you can't get an actual infection.
The nasal spray version of the shot, contains a weakened form of the active virus, and while you can end up with some flu-like symptoms from it, it still won't give you the flu.
Myth: If you've already had the flu, you don't need a flu shot.
Truth -- Just because you've caught one type of the virus doesn't mean you're immune from the other. Getting the flu shot could stop you from suffering through a second round.
Myth: Flu shots protect against the stomach flu.
Truth -- While seasonal flu can sometimes cause vomiting and diarrhea in children, it's very rare for adults, so the flu shot does not stop you from ending up with a "24-hour flu" or a "tummy bug."
Myth: Only doctors can administer flu shots.
Truth: You can safely get the flu vaccine in many drugstores and health clinics around the country, even without an appointment.
Myth: You shouldn't get the flu shot if you're already sick.
Truth: Check with your doctor first, but most experts agree that as long as you don't have a fever of more than 101 degrees, it's safe for you to get a flu shot even if you're sick.
Myth: If you make it to November without catching the flu, then you don't need the vaccine.
Truth: Flu season usually peaks in February, and flu vaccines are often still available in December and January.
There's still time to minimize your chances of getting the flu this season.
The CDC website, however, recommends that you get the seasonal shot as soon as it becomes available in your community, even as early as August.

Meet the Student Leadership Team
"People need the freedom to say what we really think and make choices about what matters to them. We must listen to and learn from each other. It is best when we learn together in creative ways."
What is Student Leadership?
The process of consulting students in order to help find ways of improving the school experience: either the teaching and learning that goes on in classrooms or more general aspects of life at school. Student Leadership is a tool through which we can allow students to have a say in improving their own education now and to participate in developing new ideas for the future.
Why use Student Leadership?
Student Leadership can help to achieve change in a more collective way, building positive teacher/student relationships. Student Leadership can enable teachers to understand and respond to key issues and challenges surrounding teaching and learning, allowing them to understand the views and opinions of learners who might ordinarily be voiceless.
In this way, working together as a learning community, we can be better equipped to find acceptable and workable solutions.
What's in it for the students?
Through being involved with Student Leadership, learners will feel a greater sense of membership in their school and their lessons and share the school's or department's learning goals because they have had a handle in shaping them. Individuals can feel that their voice counts and that what they have to contribute is valued, even when they say things that the majority of people might disagree with. When handled well, Student Leaders can help to build positive and mutual relationships between students and teachers, encouraging participation and involvement with one another. Crucially, expressing your views can help to develop your self-awareness and confidence in yourselves as citizens and as learners.
What form can Student Leadership take?
Although some forms of Student Leadership are more commonly used than others, there are no right or wrong ways of guessing students' views. In fact, many schools ask the students themselves to come up with creative ways of organising Student Leadership. Here are some of the forms that Student Leadership can take:
…and students can be involved even more deeply in the process:
Student Leadership works best when…
Research shows that Student Leadership works well. Students can see that they are genuinely being listened to and that their responses will be acted upon; most students really want the opportunity to make a difference. It is also clear from studies across the world that effective Student Leadership tends to centre around issues that young people consider to be 'real' and that they perceive as affecting their lives. Importantly, Student Leadership is most effective when the 'voice' is not isolated to the students and a number of voices coming together to inform development.
How do I join?
If you are interested in joining the Student Leadership Team, contact Mrs L.Lloyd who can be found in the Media department (P8)

Beautiful case, I was planning on making this my featured case for about 40 builds with the MSI G41 MB and the Intel E5700 with 8GB's DDR3 so what happens when the first three cases show up????????? USB 3.0 front panel connector and NO place to plug it in the motherboard. Well, I looked and looked and could not find one motherboard with the the 3.0 plug in. SO WHAT AM I LEFT WITH?? Read the cons.
I now have computers to sell with USB ports in the front of the case that connect to NOTHING.
Rosewill, fire the genius that did this.
Other Thoughts:
Now I have to figure out how to get USB to the front of these cases..
I also do not have time to do this stuff.
I searched for two hours to find an adapter or a way around this dilemma but to no avail...the genius ...that did this is ahead of the curve....way ahead on cloud nine.
This is like putting new air conditioners in a new build of cars in Detroit with no way to hook them up to the engine.

LA QUINTA, United States (AFP) – Australian golfer Robert Allenby has withdrawn from this week's Humana Challenge after being beaten and robbed in Hawaii.
Allenby said in a statement on Tuesday that he was skipping the tournament in the California desert east of Los Angeles on the advice of his doctor.
"On the advice of my personal doctor, I have decided to withdraw from this week's Humana Challenge," Allenby said. "This will enable me to ensure I am fully recovered prior to rejoining the PGA Tour.
"I anticipate a full recovery and look forward to returning in the near future."
On Monday, Allenby insisted that the cuts and bruises on his face were proof that he was kidnapped, robbed and assaulted in Honolulu on Friday.
