Windows 8.1 can be frustrating to use. No, not just because of how different it is — Windows 8 was very different, but Windows 8.1 shows Microsoft becoming more reasonable Windows 8.1 Update Is Here!

We're talking about blurry text, laggy mouse pointers, touchpad issues, and SecureBoot problems — good, old-fashioned Windows annoyances 10 Windows Annoyances You Could Rid Yourself Of Right Now 10 Windows Annoyances You Could Rid Yourself Of Right Now We make do with Windows, but it isn't perfect. In fact, Windows computers can be extremely annoying. They're full of all sorts of annoying features that just get in our way and slow us down,... Read More .
Blurry Text
Windows 8 has improved support for high-resolution displays — also known as high-DPI displays, because they have a larger number of dots (or pixels) per inch. Many Windows 8.1 laptops and tablets are now including these high-resolution displays, which make text easier to read and offer better image quality.
Many Windows desktop applications don't properly support Windows's display scaling, so Windows 8.1 includes a solution — if a program doesn't support the native display scaling, Windows just doubles its interface in size. This ensures that the program's interface isn't tiny. This doubling makes text blurry in such applications.
If text is blurry in an application, you can right-click the application's shortcut and select Properties. (If the application is on the taskbar, right-click the taskbar icon, right-click the application's name in the list, and click Properties.) Under the Compatibility tab, enable the "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" option for that application. Close and reopen the application — text won't be blurry anymore, but the application will appear smaller.
Laggy Mouse Pointer
Windows 8.1 changed how mouse input works. This leads to a laggy, stuttering mouse pointer in some PC games — especially older games How to Run Old Games & Software in Windows 8 How to Run Old Games & Software in Windows 8 One of Microsoft's big strengths -- and weaknesses -- is their focus on backwards compatibility. Most Windows applications will work just fine on Windows 8. This is especially true if they worked on Windows 7,... Read More .
To fix this issue, you'll need to install update 2903939 from Microsoft's website. This update automatically fixes the issue in some popular games. Run the Fix It tool from that web page to fix the problem for a specific game if the problem isn't automatically fixed after you install the update.
Touchpad Not Working
Windows 8.1 finally has integrated touchpad controls, so you don't have to locate a manufacturer-specific touchpad control panel whenever you want to manage your touchpad. You can disable your touchpad from here — so, if your touchpad isn't working at all, it may just be disabled.
To check for this, open the PC settings screen — press Windows Key + C or swipe in from the right, tap Settings, and tap Change PC settings. Navigate to PC and devices > Mouse and touchpad and ensure the Touchpad option is enabled.
Touchpad Gestures
Touchpad gestures can be obnoxious if you don't use the new Windows 8.1 features. Swipe your finger in from the right and the charms bar will appear — it's nice and fluid, but it can just get in the way if you only use the desktop and never want the charms bar to appear.
This option can be disabled on the touchpad settings screen, too. Disable the Enable swiping in from the left or right edge option.
OneDrive File Issues
Windows 8.1's integrated OneDrive cloud storage system 5 Smart Ways to Customize & Improve OneDrive in Windows 8.1 5 Smart Ways to Customize & Improve OneDrive in Windows 8.1 OneDrive can be a blessing or a curse. It's deeply integrated into Windows 8.1. You'll either want to get the most of it or disable it completely. We can help with both. Read More tries to be smart. Rather than syncing all your files to your computer, it uses a "smart files" system. Files aren't actually stored on your PC until you open them or tell OneDrive to store them offline.
This can cause some issues. OneDrive may download too many files you don't need, taking up too much space. Or, OneDrive may download too few files and you may find yourself unable to use those files while you don't have an Internet connection.
Recent updates have provided Windows 8.1 with more integrated OneDrive options. You'll see a cloud icon in your system tray if OneDrive is enabled. Right-click it and select OneDrive Settings. You'll be able to configure how OneDrive works from here. Select "Make all files available even when this PC isn't connected to the Internet" to always store all OneDrive files offline, or select "Make all files online only" to free up disk space and remove all copies of OneDrive files from your device. Be sure to run Windows Update and install the latest updates if you don't see these options.
"SecureBoot Isn't Configured Correctly"
Secure Boot is a security feature that protects Windows as it boots. It ensures that only verified code can boot, protecting the system against rootkits and other malware that might try to interfere with the boot process and load before Windows. If Secure Boot is disabled, you'll see a "SecureBoot Isn't Configured Correctly" message on your desktop.
You can re-enable Secure Boot by entering your PC's BIOS, looking for the Secure Boot option, and enabling it. Microsoft recommends checking your manufacturer's documentation for information about accessing its BIOS or UEFI settings screen. However, you can generally access the BIOS on new Windows PCs How to Access the BIOS on a Windows 8 Computer How to Access the BIOS on a Windows 8 Computer Among the many changes coming with Windows 8 and new computers designed for it is a change in the way we access our computers' BIOS. No longer do we press a certain key during the... Read More through the advanced boot options menu.
If you just want to hide the message without enabling Secure Boot, you can install update 2887595 from Microsoft. This update hides the message from the desktop.
Touch-Optimized Features
Windows 8.1 has many features that make the most sense on a tablet. This includes the hot corners that activate the apps switcher and charms bar when you move your mouse to the top left and top right corners of your screen.
Such features can be disabled from the taskbar's properties window. Right-click your taskbar, select Properties, and use the options under the Navigation tab to configure how your system behaves.
It's Not a Bug, It's a Feature
All of these frustrating features can also be useful. The display-scaling feature that leads to blurry text also makes small buttons easier to click. The change in mouse input handling improves battery life. The touchpad toggle gives you a way to turn off the touchpad, while the gestures allow you to access the new charms and app switcher more easily. A Secure Boot warning can be a security feature that informs you if SecureBoot was switched off. OneDrive's smart files can save local storage space on your device. Even all those annoying touch-first features are nice on a tablet.
Which other Windows 8.1 features would you rather see disabled?

For those whose TouchPad Settings doesn't exist...I had to do this the hard way. I went to control panel and searched for "touchpad". Then I clicked on Synaptics clickpad.
I wanted to remove the double click feature, so I then unchecked "double click".
I can't get to the sub menu, I'm in the PC and devices menu but can not move over to the right where the settings are. HHHHELLLPPPPP
Thank you so much man. I was stuck for a long time with the default touchpad and all i had to do was enable it.
Okay so I also have a touch screen computer(MSI all-in-one touchscreen gaming PC) and my kitten leaned against the screen. I have Google Chrome open and the mouse doesn't work on there at all now. She did something so that the webpage doesn't respond to the mouse at all, though it still responds to me touching the screen. I had to open a new window to find how to fix the problem but so far nothing's come up.
I can't close the other window because it has important info that I really cannot lose, so how do I get that webpage to recognize my mouse?
Just to clarify:
The USB port works fine with other devices. There are 3 USB ports on machine, all of them work with other devices but none of them let me access my WD external hard drive.
Recently installed Win 8.1 on Dell E6500, previously Vista Ultimate. Now can't access my WD Elements external hard drive. I can see it, it shows fine in disk mgmt, it is healthy etc. Just when I try opening it it says "G is not accessible". What may be the reason? The WD works fine on my other machine on XP, also on my friend's 8.1. Is it about my Dell drivers somehow?
I suddenly have this issue where my mouse just kinda pauses, not just in game but on desktop as well. Started happening after this latest update and I don't know whats going on.
I was having the same problem and I unplugged the USB mouse controller and plugged it back in. Now I think the problem is fixed. Thank goodness. Very frustrating.
please help with the touchpad issue. It freezes once windows are loaded.
I keep getting the issue where my laptop keeps loading to the desktop even after I disabled that feature. Is there anyway to stop this from happening?
After I install Windows 8.1, I could not use "COPY" option thru mouse, but if I can do thru "EDIT" (menu bar).
Please help me about this problem.
I was recently forced (not asked, but forced) by windows 8 to update to 8.1... which was the beginning of a long list of problems. Now aside from the many problems I have with my OS forcing me to upgrade from a stable working build to a broken one, and the many problems that move started, I ALSO have a MAJOR problem with assholes offering to help people 'easily fix' the problems, only to see a lengthy rant on how those issues are not really issues at all. YES THEY ARE! The fact you have to explain away or excuse them should tell you that much...
Its Not A Feature, Its Unmitigated Bloatware Crap.

Hi, a new Dell Windows 8.1 high spec laptop. Even from when just having started up the laptop and everythin is loaded, I acnnot get ControlPanel to display any items.
I am right click on the "window" icon and get the Control Panel option the old fashioined way (nice), the Control Panel window opens but remains blank and then the laptop stuck with that circular icon as if it is going to open the folder...but never does.
This has happened on opening some other things too but appears to have gone away...not seeing Control Panel content within the window is frustrating.
Hello. I am using Windows 8.1 and am having a problem with a software program that I hope you might be able to provide some direction on.
Essentially, when I open the program I get a prompt that says "It appears that you aren't connected to the Internet. To use this program you need an active Internet connection. If you are connected to the Internet check your Internet Explorer proxy settings."
I AM connected to the Internet and my connection is active. I have gone to IE to check for proxy and they appear to be alright although I don't know if I checked them in the correct manner in order to make a definitive determination. I would love to use this program but keep getting this prompt. Any ideas as to how to solve this problem? Thank you.
I have disabled OneDrive integration at all and use an alternative client for OneDrive called SyncDriver (syncdriver.com)
Running Windows 8.1 with screens 1-3 extended....with the third being the projector in my classroom. The mouse pointer icon appears fine on both laptop and desk screen, but when dragged to the projector screen, it becomes a blurred box (same size as icon) but when right clicked and held it shows briefly as the pointer icon..then reverts to the blurred spot.
Any suggestions. Tried modifying the image, trail, scoll settings..but no luck. Even pointer type does not correct the problem.
I haven't had any of the problems discussed in this article.
As a convert to OS/2 from about 1993 to 2003, I became very anti-Microsoft. When IBM and Serenity Systems stopped meaningful support of OS/2, I tried different versions of Linux a number of times and wasted a lot of time trying to configure windows managers and applications and hardware interfaces to work the way I wanted them to. I got tired of that and have been using Windows since XP through 8.1. I haven't had any significant problems at any point.
People get very invested in their system of choice and like to rag on big companies with successful products.
One of the reasons there are a lot of reports of problems with Windows is that the user base is over 1 billion, with more than 110 million on Windows 8, whereas there are only around 20 million Linux users, according to the estimates I have found. More users equals more users with potential difficulties. No big surprise.
When I moved from Windows 7 to Windows 8 after much fear and trepidation about the Metro/Modern Start Screen, I immediately installed a good third party Start Menu and Taskbar and migrated seamlessly. Maybe one day I'll join the hoidy toity Mac or Linux crowd, but I haven't had a need to do so yet. And I did just read the MUO Ultimate "Should I Use Linux" Checklist and most of the comments.
Windows has met my computing needs just fine for the last 10 years.
You make some great points. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I feel Microsoft has way too many ideas and not enough time. When they roll out something like Vista or 8, it feels like they are using the public as a way to test the changes. The only problem is that the general public PAYS for essentially a broken or half baked product.
Many situations like moving a window require a click at the top of the window which then causes the window to become full page when all I wanted was to change its position. Going to full page on some mouse clicks seems to be a default that I can do without.
I use 8.1 Update on all of my computers with no issue. I should point out that every one of them has Classic Shell installed. I do not use the Metro/Modern interface as it provides nothing. The apps I have tried are rubbish, very slow to load and nowhere near as good as the desktop versions. I have disabled Onedrive on all of the computers as it interferes too much. When I want something backed up I will back it up myself. I always install two hard drives and copy over the stuff I think is important like documents and photos so it is safe. Sometimes I back up online but not through Onedrive as I admit I have never spent long enough on it to understand it and have no burning need to do so. I look at computers as devices that work for me. Whenever I feel that that is not the case things get changed hence Metro/Modern being "lost". If I could get rid of that interface completely I would as it serves no useful purpose.
Not sure what happened between Windows 8 and 8.1, but Windows 8 was fine for me until the upgrade, now Chrome and Opera both are horribly slow and Chrome and Inkscape freeze regularly, especially if the computer goes to sleep. This is the family laptop, a Samsung Series 3 with a Core i3 and 4Gb of RAM, not killer specs but should run Chrome and Inkscape without issue, and now it doesn't.
Any ideas? I'm guessing it's a memory management issue, but not sure. It could also be an issue with all the Samsung bloat hogging more resources, but it doesn't appear to be by the looks of the running processes.
I have been a Windows user since the early 80's and have never had a serious problem with it. I recently updated my laptop from windows 8 to 8.1. Windows 8 I have been running a little over 6 months with no problems. Since the update to 8.1 it has been one problem after another. Each update to 8.1 has caused a series of problems. My most recent is with my wi fi. Windows won't recognize my network. I never lost a connection in 8. Now I have to spend two or three days to get my connection back. Sometimes for a day or two sometimes it will work for weeks. Restore points disappear, and a myriad of other problems occur. I am going back to Windows 8 until Microsoft finishes this OS. If I am going through this much of a learning curve I will switch to Linux.
Good article enjoyed reading
Thank you
Remove the cloud completely, The cloud has caused me nothing but problems the biggest being that it deleted my complete music collection of 57,000 files. It started to upload my music collection automatically l drive where I kept it and wen I cancelled the upload it deleted the entire collection past restore.
Use Classic Shell to make Win 8.1 look more like Win XP. Most people know XP.
I think Windows 8.1, I never used 8.0, is just fine...after I installed Classic Shell and got completely away from the Metro or Modern Apps. Trying to force phone apps onto a PC was just dumb. They are hard to find and slow to load. The only App that I use is Skype, and that is only every other week or so. If someone was buying a new PC, I would recommend 8.1, even if they had the option of 7.
Even with the latest 8.1 Update installed, and a default to desktop elected, Microsoft moves forward on the presumption that StartMenu versions of applications are desired. There should be a way, with one click, to default to desktop versions of programs rather than having to make individual election or getting stuck in the StartMenu version of ... lets use Reader as an example. This is especially annoying since that bug keeps re-appearing that disables right click and the (new) bar at the top of the screen that facilitates close (the iteration of this bug that appeared a couple weeks ago requires disabling OneDrive sync to fix).
Useful article - although my version of Windows 8.1 - fully updated does not have the touchpad "swiping from left" enable/disable options. One thing I would dearly love to see is some coherent information on is why the CTRL+C and CTRL +V commands are now so flaky. In 9 cases out of 10, the text or image copied is lost without trace and I have to go back and copy it again!! Judging the forum comments, I am not alone. Anyone have any ideas please?
I have mine updated all the way, and I don't see the swiping in option either, though my touchpad does do it. I'd rather turn it off, because it gets annoying when I accidentally swipe in and it brings stuff up. At least I'm not the only one.
I have disabled all the new Windows 8.1 features by sticking with Win 7.
Roll on Win 9 - you know they only get every other one right.
I currently have Windows 8.0 and since I changed from Windows 7 Ultimate cannot read my USB backup drive. Ideas!?!
Michael, did you try the fixes suggested in this article:
External Drive Not Recognized? This Is How To Fix It In Windows

Art Beat: Union gallery offers new take on 'beasts'
Given its title — "So Many Beasts of Burden" — the exhibition at the Illini Union Art Gallery had me thinking the art would riff mainly on donkeys, oxen and horses.
So I was surprised to see takes on rats, mice and snakes in the show curated by Maria Lux, a 2012 University of Illinois master's of fine arts graduate in painting and sculpture.
Lux, whose art addresses animal issues, made work for and curated the exhibition after she uncovered bizarre stories about how mice and rats were used in war and in the aftermath of war.
They are amazing true stories, and you might want to check them out.
One concerns mice paratroopers on Guam, an island that was pristine before snakes infested it and killed off 18 species of native birds. The snakes, which also cause power outages by climbing electric poles, had arrived on Guam by air, as stowaways on war planes, Lux wrote.
"It wasn't until the mid-'80s that they were discovered, and by then it was too late," she wrote.
Some people on Guam believe the snakes came in airplane wreckage taken to the unincorporated U.S. territory in the western Pacific Ocean to be disposed of on scrap metal trash-heaps. Unnoticed, they escaped from the military base and fanned out into the forest, Lux wrote.
Though killing all the snakes is impossible, a military base on Guam is trying to control them by dropping dead mice attached to parachutes onto the island. Laced with acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, the mice land in treetops, where the snakes, unaware of the poison added to the mice, eat them.
Reading on the NPR website about the mouse droppings over Guam, Lux visually imagined parachuting mice. She just had to make some.
She cast her white mice from real dead mice, making the molds from alginate and then casting them in plastic.
She inserted them wrapped in tiny red parachutes into cellophane wrappers. The labels on the packages read "Mouse Trooper."
"They are based on real packaging for toy paratroopers, but I redrew them to use mice," Lux said.
A real, albeit dead, rat also plays center stage in one exhibit about the roles of rats in war. Lux, in a sense, made that rat, too.
"I was fortunate enough to participate in a taxidermy workshop on campus this spring and thaf rat was done during the workshop," she told me via email.
The exhibition also features work by current UI MFA students Shayna Egan and Cherie Fanning.
Egan made from wood a hearst-type wagon with large wheels. Fanning hanged discarded snake skins, wrapping around them at the hanging point small doilies. She is interested in the unique relationships humans have with reptile pets, Lux said.
Like many practicing artists, Lux did extensive research before making the pieces in the exhibition. It included driving to the Chanute Air Museum in Rantoul to chat with staffers there about Guam and the animal stories she had read and now relates to us.
"So Many Beasts of Burden" will be on display through June 28 at the Illini Union Art Gallery, which is in the northwest corner on the main floor.
With this being summer, it's easy to find a parking space in front of or close to the Union at 401 W. Green St., U.
More art
The UI School of Art + Design Figure One project space at 116 N. Walnut St., C, has through this month work by alumni as part of its recent alumni reunion.
There's a variety of pieces in all kinds of media by alumni from several decades. The School of Art + Design plans to do "alumni-by-decade exhibitions" in future summers.
Figure One has limited hours, particularly during the summer, when it's open 5 to 9 p.m. Fridays.
You can go next door, though, to Cream & Flutter to see art jewelry and painted-copper-on-canvas paintings by 2003 UI alumna Brooke Marks-Swanson, who also has pieces at Figure One.
In her paintings and "neckpieces," as she calls them, Marks-Swanson tends toward dusky blues and greens and other soft colors. The landscapes evoke the Midwestern landscape and horizon.
Her neckpieces, which also incorporate gemstones, are rough looking but I wanted to pick them up and try them on.
For more on her, check out http://www.metalmarks.net.
"Edzmz" leaving
Eduardo Diazmunoz, conductor and chairman of the UI Opera Program, will leave in January 2014 to take a position at the Sydney Conservatorium at the University of Sydney.
There he will be chair of conducting and music director of the Conservatorium Symphony Orchestra.
In an email sent Wednesday to his UI colleagues, Diazmunoz wrote:
"I do cherish every moment we lived and shared together during these last nine years and I look forward to further collaborate with every one of you on what will be my last production here, celebrating (Giuseppe) Verdi's bicentennial with his last masterpiece, 'Falstaff.'"
As you might remember, former UI School of Music director Karl Kramer left on March 31 to be dean and principal of the Sydney Conservatorium, which is next door to the famed Sydney Opera House.
Shortly before he left, Kramer cited as one of his major achievements here his hiring of Diazmunoz. Kramer said the native Mexican's "huge personality" was a great addition to the School of Music and the community.
Update in Indy
The Indianapolis Museum of Art will open new contemporary design galleries Nov. 21 after a three-year, multiphase renovation project.
The reinstallation of the museum's expanded collection of modern design will feature more than 400 objects.
"Unlike most design installations, the IMA's will focus on design after 1980 — a period of immense growth and creativity," a museum news release reads. "The galleries will be based on the two over arching concepts: design as industry and design as art. The new installation will be one of the largest displays of contemporary design in any North American art museum and one of the first surveys of recent trends in this dynamic field."
The IMA is always worthy of a day trip. And remember, "Ai Weiwei: According to What?", a survey of the famous Chinese artist-dissident's work, is on view there through July 21.

Discussion in 'Fertilizer Application' started by Cadzilla, Apr 30, 2014.
Thanks. It was fert only so it wasn't that difficult.
80 bags is 4000 lbs old timer.
Yeah agree when you are pitching fert and pre with no liquid herbicide app, things go MUCH faster.
Same goes with winterizer app. Both $$ makers.
I threw 20 bags today and thought I was doing good with a PG. For a small fish Op like I have
My guys are spreading a pallet a day typically. They know not to come back till either their route is done or the pre-m runs out. We're going to do a 25 acre church next week. Will will have 3 T's out there. I figure it'll take 3-4 hours to fert and spray.

I've done a pallet in one day with a lesco walk behind spreader.

yall are making me want july to hurry up! I cant wait until I feel like im going to die
20 a day is average for me in summer on resis when I am running less N and a higher formulation, slow release.
Some of my commercials can eat through the tonnage though. This is the first time since I can remember that I got round 1 done without using broadleaf weed control....Loved every bag I could spread without turning on the pump.
I start round two on Tuesday and start with folks that didn't get one....country lawns and what nots.....but weeds are yet to fully splode.
I suspect at least in my area weeds will creep in and may be bothersome btween rounds 2-3 as a result because of the cold weather.
By comparison what I did here is a 24 acre condo complex in six hours by myself on a ZMax. Full coverage 1lb of N.
Back in the day it would have taken five one thousand gallon tankers and five guys all almost all day to spray by hand.
Love the new technology.
2 pallets of pre on 33 yards. WORE OUT!. that's a lot of bags getting cut and dumped. Love catchup when the rains put you behind.
Posted via Mobile Device
That's a lot of bags I have done 22 acres of fert in a day but that was 30-0-6 a lot less bags. I am surprised no one beat you up for putting down a
lbs of N in the spring. Or are you in the south were it's summer already.
Client requested better color and "Lusher" grass. I normally don't apply 1 lb of N or better at this time but do have to apply at least 8/10ths of a pound if you want to hit the crabgrass label rate for pre emerge combos....with what I use anyhow.

'Fail Mary' helped refs settle
You could say the Fail Mary caused the Real Refs Return.
On Sept. 24, 2012, the Seattle Seahawks beat the Green Bay Packers, 14-12, in a game that included the infamous "Fail Mary" pass that decided the outcome.
In the game's final play, Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson threw a Hail Mary pass into the Seahawks end zone that wide receiver Golden Tate and Packers safety M.D. Jennings both got their hands on when fighting for possession.
Eventually the officials ruled that both players had simultaneous possession, giving Seattle the game-winning score.
On Sept. 26, the National Football League officiating lockout ended and the regular referees returned.
Mike Tirico, who called the game for ESPN, commented about that telecast on the network's "Front Row" website.
"I really do believe that play on 'Monday Night Football' — seen by everyone, discussed by everyone who is tied to the game — was the catalyst to get the lockout with the officials wrapped up within a matter of 72 hours," Tirico said.
"It was such a strange game to begin with. Aaron Rodgers was sacked so often in the first half. Russell Wilson was an unknown entity at that point. The game had so much building up to the bizarre finish.
"When you think back to the play, and the moment and the ensuing confusion, there were so many abnormal things. The fact that two players legitimately had a chance to come down with the ball, and you can make an argument one way or the other for who had it, the most blatant pass interference possible, it was one of those plays that until you saw it three or four times, you really couldn't put your arms around everything that happened on that play."
Tirico said what he remembers from that play how upset his broadcasting partner, game analyst Jon Gruden, became as it the aftermath unfolded.
"We were just trying to figure out with some clarity, 'What are they potentially calling on this play?'" Tirico said. "I remember Jon — he was angry. Not because it was either Seattle or Green Bay he was pulling for. He was just angry the play was so sloppily officiated — that it came at the end of the game and cost the Packers. The way that transpired, the way Jon was so angry about that as a football coach, really sticks with me."
Tirico said fans ask him about that play "a lot," particularly when he has traveled to Wisconsin to handle telecasts since then.
"When I did a couple of Wisconsin basketball games during the Big Ten season, people brought it up pretty often," Tirico said. "It certainly comes up and it's in our mind anytime there's a Hail Mary. You're thinking, 'What's going to happen here? You know what happened in Seattle.'"
Tirico noted that the game was "a launching point for this stretch of Seahawks football."
And on the other side?
"Packers fans still — and rightfully so — have not gotten over getting the short end of that decision," Tirico said.
TBS sets playoff announcers
The television voice of the Milwaukee Brewers, Brian Anderson, will again work TBS postseason telecasts, teaming with analysts John Smoltz and Joe Simpson.
Anderson has worked playoff games for TBS since 2008 and regular-season games on TBS' Sunday package since 2010.
Other TBS announcing teams include ErnieJohnson and analysts Ron Darling and Cal Ripken (the group that will call the National League Championship Series); DickStockton and Bob Brenly; and Don Orsillo and Dennis Eckersley and Buck Martinez.
In the studio host Keith Olbermann will be joined by three-time Cy Young Award winner Pedro Martinez and reporter Tom Verducci.
Moss on Aldon Smith
San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith was placed on the non-football injury list and his return to the team has not been set as he flew to a treatment center Monday. Smith was allowed to play in the 49ers' loss to the Indianapolis Colts after being arrested Friday on suspicion of drunken driving.
Former receiver Randy Moss , now an analyst for Fox Sports 1, was asked about Smith's case.
"I'm not sure this was or wasn't a business decision," Moss said. "Being there last year, I was very disappointed about how certain things were handled. Demarcus Dobbs got into some trouble and the team gave him a one-game suspension. Then, a similar situation happened with Aldon Smith and the team did not suspend him.
"I love Aldon as a person and a player but what's right is right and what's fair is fair," Moss said. "I'm wondering if him going into rehab is really going to help him. I hope it does and he doesn't suffer a relapse....But when you treat a kid like a kid, you get kid results, and when you treat a man like a man, you get man results."

Wheels installed, bumpstops too short.. Advice needed..
I installed my wheels thus morning and everything went smooth. Installed the spare on and the bumpstops are about a .5" short. My backspace is 5.7 and tire width 275 on a set of 18x9 xd addicts. I had a set of daystar extended bumpstops but those things are just terrible and I couldn't get them on. So I trimmed a piece off a wedged them on the oem bumpstops to give some support. I'm currently trying to decide what to do, I want the teraflex hinged tire carrier but am not sure if the bestop/smittybilt carrier would just be enough. If I get the hinge I would still need to get something to extend the bumpstop but the bestop carrier doesn't take any added stress off the tailgate... Any help would be appreciated.

I installed the bestop spare tire carrier with Nitto Terra's 305x70x17. The spare with rim weighs 85lbs. Purchased from 4wheelonline.com for $252. I had to wait for front and rear bumper package, and this holder was a good interim solution. Factory bump stops work fine. Took 30 minutes to install.

The Daystars are fine. They do need to be trimmed to fit. I broke a nipple off one and it still holds in there. 0 issues.
the daystars are a pain to put in and a pain to take out (no pun intended). I ripped the whole thing off while it was still attached and had to use superglue to reattach the foam piece. I also have some gnarly marks using a flathead trying to pry it in w/ wd40 and i still managed to scratch the tailgate. I shouldve sticked to the factory bumpstops w/ a pcv pipe attached.

Report summaryThe start-up of PNG LNG in 2014 leaves Oil Search better-placed than many of its peers to weather a near-term low oil price environment. The company has low sustaining capital spend in 2016 and 2017, while PNG LNG delivers robust cash flow as well as strong production growth. But Oil Search's growth plans will depend on an oil price recovery. The focus remains firmly on Papua New Guinea, where its two proposed LNG developments demonstrate attractive economics. However, the capital commitments required to develop two large projects in a similar timeframe could see the company financially stretched. The longer-term picture remains bright, however, as Oil Search's production could double by the mid-2020s

The Argentine defender is looking forward to the upcoming Derby d'Italia and hopes the Nerazzurri can cause an upset
Zanetti, who is still out of action because of an Achilles injury suffered at the end of last season, acknowledges that the Turin giants are the team to beat, but has insisted that the Nerazzurri will do their utmost to bag the full three points on Saturday.
"Juventus are a great team that has been playing well for years. We're going to give our all. I believe we're a team making rapid progress. It won't be an easy game. We'll see what happens on the pitch," the 40-year-old told reporters.
"It will be a big match, as it always is between these two great clubs. It's a game you really get up for: it means a lot and we hope it goes well for us.
"I think Juventus are a great team and I'm sure they'll fight to the end to win the league."
The match at San Siro is scheduled to kick off at 17:00BST.

The huge popularity of the American bank-robbers of the 1930s is usually put down to the frustrations of the Depression. The banks were the most hateful manifestation of a system that had failed the people. Outlaws of under-privileged origin who were prepared to take them on fulfilled the fantasies of many who shared their inclination but lacked their nerve.
The press, then as now fighting decline, glamorised the latter-day buccaneers, some of whom responded by playing up to their new-found status as folk heroes. The most engaging of them all, John Dillinger, told a customer during one raid, "We don't want your money, mister, just the bank's."
When, goaded by the threat of such implied subversion, the authorities fought back, the drama took a different turn. Americans were presented with the spectacle of a stirring contest played out to the death. In the end, the beguiling bad guys lost and the dreary good guys won. It was an outcome offering the enthralled audience not only painless mortification but the simultaneous reassurance that the order on which they depended was ultimately being upheld.
Since this unstaged entertainment had proved so captivating, it's hardly surprising that cinema leapt on it. In 1934, Dillinger heard himself being name-checked in a gangster movie while lawmen waited to gun him down outside Chicago's Biograph theatre. Since then, a continuous stream of big-screen gangster derring-do has helped us cope with the frustrations instilled by our own grudging submission to the rules that constrain our lives.
Hollywood has told us Dillinger's story several times, most memorably in John Milius's Dillinger in 1973. Now, however, Public Enemies hits us just as we're engulfed by the first slump comparable with the one that spawned its subject matter. Director Michael Mann is proud of both his film's historical accuracy and the immediacy which its digital photography imparts. Unfortunately, his saga can afford us little of the comfort that its real-life version was able to offer our predecessors in economic calamity.
We have our own bank-robbers, but they're not attractive quasi-Robin Hoods from the wrong side of the tracks. They're the banks' own fat-cat bosses, and they aren't getting the comeuppance they deserve in a hail of bullets, however widely desired such a fate for them might be. Instead, they've waddled off unscathed in full possession of their ill-gotten gains. Far from bringing them to book, our own authorities seem to be permitting a new round of heists to get under way.
To beat Dillinger and his peers, the American government created a federal law enforcement agency empowered to cross state lines. Today, however, politicians seem to be ducking the challenge of reining in bankers' malfeasance through transnational regulation. Nonetheless, our own public enemies have at least one thing in common with both the black hats and the white hats of Mann's movie.
As he did in Heat, Mann toys with the much-favoured Hollywood theme of moral equivalence between wrongdoers and their state-ordained antagonists. Johnny Depp's Dillinger may be a romantic charmer, but he shows no compunction for his misdeeds or the deaths they cause. Christian Bale's gloomy G-man is as intent as his quarry on a ruthless personal quest, and he's prepared to connive at torture when he thinks this might advance it.
It's this air of pervasive amorality that most clearly links Mann's tale with its present-day analogue. We may be seeing less bloodshed now, but we're not short of our own kind of depravity. In some ways it's even worse than the version that Mann portrays. Unlike Dillinger, Fred the Shred can't even claim it was a troubled life that drove him to plunder bank vaults. America's gangbusters reasserted the rule of righteousness; as our rapacious bankers go unpunished, our own leaders have been busily indulging in their own brand of embezzlement.
People used to worry that gangster movies exalted crime. Public Enemies celebrates something yet more untoward, namely the call to get away with whatever you can in pursuit of whatever you want. It's a message of which we stand today in all too little need.

text: Business and Economy Business and Economic news Iowa Shoppers Now Pay Sales Tax on Amazon By Joyce Russell • 7 hours ago Manuel Alarcon/flickr Iowans shopping at Amazon.com have a surprise in store when they go online today. Starting January 1, the retail giant will be collecting sales tax for the first time on purchases in Iowa, as they do in 30 other states. Department of Management Director Dave Roederer says it will be good for state coffers and for other retailers. "It is leveling the playing field for the main street merchants," Roederer said. "Main Street merchants are required to collect sales tax. The online was not. So that levels that out." Massive Project in Waukee Inches Forward By Rob Dillard • 12 hours ago Kettlestone-Waukee The state is awash in billions of dollars' worth of construction projects that are transforming city downtowns and suburban areas.

Artistic Iowa: The Rise of the Creative Class, a Decade Later By Clare Roth & Ben Kieffer • Dec 27, 2016 Tony Webster / Flickr In his Condition of the State, then-Governor Tom Vilsack declared that 2004 would be "The Year of the Arts, Culture and Recreation in Iowa." He continued, "Studies show that creativity spurs economic growth; breakthroughs in understanding are essential to the task of building a world of opportunity.

Unemployment Rate Drops Because of Holiday Hiring By Rob Dillard • Dec 16, 2016 Iowa Workforce Development Iowa's unemployment rate took a significant drop in November. It went from 4.1 percent to 3.8 percent. A spokeswoman for Iowa Workforce Development, Courtney Greene, says unemployment in the state is at its lowest point since March. "That's due in part to holiday or seasonal hiring, and also the great fall weather we experienced this year," she says. "However, the economy remains soft as we transition to seasonal unemployment during the winter months." Greene says Iowa's economy also shed around 47-hundred jobs last month. Strong International Business Will Fuel Principal in the Coming Year By Rob Dillard • Dec 6, 2016 Principal Financial Group The Des Moines-based financial services company Principal Financial Group is projecting steady growth during 2017. The expectations follow a pattern of revenue increases the company has seen over the past several years. A Giant Industrial Park Coming to Cedar Rapids By Rob Dillard • Nov 29, 2016 Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance Economic development officials in Cedar Rapids are preparing a plot of land on the city's southwest side for a future industrial park.

To Take Over, or Not To Take Over a Family Owned Business By Clare Roth, Charity Nebbe & Lindsey Moon • Nov 28, 2016 Courtesy of Pleasant Valley Garden Center Aleda Feuerbach knows the garden center business; as it grew, she grew, literally. Her parents raised her in the green house, and when they were ready to retire, she took over the family business with help from her husband. "You don't count days, you don't count hours, you just do it," she says. "You gotta be dedicated to that because family business takes it out of ya. I love it, I'd do it again, but you've got to have that make up to make you successful." Shoppers Asked To Think Small And Local By Michael Leland • Nov 25, 2016 Stuartia.com Thousands of people across Iowa are starting their holiday shopping today, and many communities are hoping you'll give locally-owned small businesses some attention tomorrow. The annual "Small Business Saturday" campaign urges people to spend some of their shopping dollars in independent stores. Jennifer Pruden of the Czech Village-New Bohemia Main Street District in Cedar Rapids says local businesses there are hoping a good holiday season will help them recover from September's flood. Iowa Home Prices Climb By Rob Dillard • Nov 18, 2016 Dan Moyle / Flicker Home prices in Iowa are on the rise. The monthly report from the Iowa Association of Realtors shows the median sale price in October was $145,000, 5.1 percent higher than a year ago. Association president Cindy Miller says it's a seller's market at the moment. "I think what we have right now is a lower inventory, which will drive supply-and-demand and drive the price up a little bit," she says. Miller sees that changing in the coming months. New Convenience for Teslas Crossing the State By Joyce Russell • Nov 15, 2016 Joyce Russell/IPR Drivers of the high-dollar all-electric vehicle known as Tesla may be making their way across Iowa more often, now that some super-fast charging stations are available. Hy-Vee stores in West Des Moines, Coralville, and Davenport have installed the new so-called superchargers in their parking lots to benefit Tesla drivers only. Company spokesman Will Nicholas says it will speed up long-distance Midwestern travel. "Our cars can come in here at no cost currently and charge up to 170 miles in 20 minutes," Nicholas said. Iowa Employers Take On More Paid Apprentices By Joyce Russell • Nov 14, 2016 Joyce Russell/IPR Officials with Governor Branstad's administration say they hope to double the number of registered apprenticeships with Iowa employers over the next five years, part of their goal to get more Iowans into post high-school training and education. Under the program, trainees are paid to learn a trade or other job skills. Eighteen-year-old Josh Smith is working for Mid-American Energy while learning welding at Central Campus High School in Des Moines. Higher Income Earners in Rural Areas By Rob Dillard • Nov 1, 2016 Michael Leland, Iowa Public Radio A sociologist at Iowa State University has uncovered something that goes against common belief. He says income levels in rural areas of the state are higher than in the urban centers. Extension rural sociologist David Peters has studied census data on income and poverty levels nationwide, and he has broken it down state-by-state. He finds the median household income in rural areas of Iowa is a bit more than $60,000, 11 percent higher than in cities. He says one reason may be three-quarters of Iowa farms are so-called "hobby farms." Heartland Financial Expands Its Reach in California By Rob Dillard • Oct 31, 2016 Heartland Financial USA A Dubuque-based banking operation is merging with a similar group of banks in California. The deal is designed to expand the Iowa company's position on the West Coast.

Construction Activity on Hold Until After the Election By Rob Dillard • Oct 20, 2016 American Institute of Architects A key indicator of future construction activity nationwide is down for a second straight month. The situation in Iowa and the Midwest is a bit more stable. Architects and builders say they are delaying plans until after the election. Polk County Teens: Equal Pay for Equal Work By Rob Dillard • Oct 4, 2016 Rob Dillard, Iowa Public Radio The Polk County Board of Supervisors gave approval to a second reading of a proposed hike in the minimum wage. It is drawing resistance because of certain provisions. The Board is attempting to raise the minimum wage in Polk County to $8.75 an hour by April of next year, which would climb to $10.75 at the start of 2019. Teenage workers younger than 18, however, would receive 85 percent of the minimum wage. Sixteen-year old Alexa Rodriguez says the lower wage for young people is not fair because she does the same work her older colleagues do. CRST Center Alters Cedar Rapids Skyline By Rob Dillard • Sep 15, 2016 CRST International The latest addition to the Cedar Rapids skyline is the 11-story CRST Center located near the Cedar River downtown. The $37 million building will be the corporate headquarters for the transportation company CRST International. The trucking firm will occupy two of the floors, with Bankers Trust, Holmes Murphy and RSM International renting office space. Company chairman John Smith says since CRST announced plans to move its corporate campus downtown from southwest Cedar Rapids, others are considering similar moves. Iowa's Place in the Payment Revolution By Clare Roth, Ben Kieffer & Lindsey Moon • Sep 15, 2016 InfoCash / Flickr Apple Pay, Google Wallet, Samsung Pay, Venmo -- the cutting-edge payment options of today are in our pockets, if not in our wallets. Before we had technological access to our bank accounts, there was a more rudimentary barrier to jump: getting money regardless of what bank or ATM was available. Cities Try to Regulate Airbnb in Iowa By Lindsey Moon & Ben Kieffer • Sep 14, 2016 screenshot Airbnb, a marketplace for people to list and rent vacation homes and rooms to stay, was founded in 2008 in San Francisco. Today, there are more than a million listings in more than 30,000 cities around the country. As the service grows in popularity in the state, cities in Iowa including Clear Lake, West Des Moines, Fairfield and Coralville are looking to regulate its use. "There is a great demand for this type of service. It was founded as a means to accommodate people during large business conventions," explains Art Durnev, a professor of finance at the University of Iowa. Linn County Gives Final Approval To Higher Minimum Wage By Dean Borg • Sep 12, 2016 Dean Borg/IPR Linn County's minimum wage increases to $8.25 an hour on January 1, and a dollar-an-hour more on each of the following two New Year's Days. But municipalities may not follow, including Cedar Rapids, Iowa's second-largest city. On a 4-1 vote, Linn's Board of Supervisors approved the third reading of the ordinance incrementally raising the wage floor to three dollars above current Iowa law by 2019. Apartment Tower Will Occupy Former Younkers Department Store Space By Rob Dillard • Sep 2, 2016 Blackbird Development The 26-story apartment tower planned for the spot once occupied by Younkers Department Store in downtown Des Moines will include a swimming pool on its roof. Blackbird Development is releasing details of the $85 million project it calls 701 Walnut. The 300,000 square-foot tower will house 276 apartments and ground floor commercial space. Blackbird is also renovating the Wilkins Building next door, home of the Younkers Tea Room. A massive fire destroyed the Younkers Building in 2014, leaving an empty space in the heart of Des Moines' downtown. Linn County Closer To A Minimum Wage Increase By Dean Borg • Aug 31, 2016 Linn County supervisors have approved the first reading of an ordinance raising the minimum wage above state law. It's an action that involves Cedar Rapids, Iowa's second-largest city. Linn's ordinance hikes the wage minimum by a dollar an hour to $8.25 on January 1, 2017. There would also be increased on the two following New Year's Days, to $10.25 in 2019. Supervisor John Harris objected to the built-in future increases, and voted no. Linn County Auditor Joel Miller chided the supervisors for having no plan to enforce the ordinance. West Des Moines Says Data Center Will Pay for Roads and Sewers By Rob Dillard • Jul 22, 2016 City of West Des Moines Officials in West Des Moines are touting what the news of a third data center from Microsoft means for development in the southwest corner of the city. The computer giant is announcing plans to build a one-point-seven million square foot data center in an area straddling Warren and Madison counties within West Des Moines city limits. It will be built in four phases, with the initial investment at $417 million. West Des Moines Mayor Steve Gaer says the project will pay for the infrastructure needed to open thousands of acres to commercial and residential development. Cultivating a Global Mindset By Emily Woodbury & Charity Nebbe • Jul 19, 2016 On this edition of Talk of Iowa, Charity Nebbe talks with four young professionals from Sub-Saharan Africa in Iowa this summer as part of the Mandela Washington Fellowship program, the flagship program of President Obama's Young African Leaders Initiative. This summer, each of the fellows is developing business skills they will be able to take back home, and they are also forming connections with one another - an important aspect of the program, according to Dimy Doresca, director of the UI Institute for International Business. Beyond Iowa Nice: Family Leave and Bridging the Wage Gap By Charity Nebbe & Katherine Perkins • Jul 15, 2016 JFK Presidential Library and Museum / Wikimedia Commons While she was pregnant with her first child, Libby Buchmeier had been banking her vacation in anticipation of taking time off after the birth. When Buchmeier's daughter arrived 10 weeks early, she had to use the four weeks of paid maternity leave offered by her employer and much of that accumulated vacation time while her baby girl was in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The Next Generation of African Business Leaders Comes to Iowa By Rob Dillard • Jun 30, 2016 Drake University Some of the African continent's most promising young professionals are in Iowa for the next several weeks picking up tips on how to run businesses. They are part of the Mandela Washington Fellowship Program run by the U.S. State Department. The founder of Kemin Industries, R.W. Nelson, recently greeted the 25 young people from 19 countries at his corporate headquarters in southeast Des Moines. United Way Report Says Federal Poverty Level Is Too Low By Mary Khan • Jun 29, 2016 PeteLinforth/Pixabay.com A new study by the United Way says 31-percent of Iowa households are struggling to afford their basic needs. The finding is part of a United Way-sponsored ALICE report. It stands for Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed. The report says 12-percent of Iowans live in poverty and 19-percent cannot afford the basic cost of living in their areas, forcing them to make concessions in areas like food and health care. Deann Cook of the United Ways of Iowa says many of those struggling are in service sector jobs. Linn County to Take More Time Studying Minimum Wage By Dean Borg • Jun 28, 2016 Linn County's Board of Supervisors wants more information before deciding whether to raise the minimum wage in Cedar Rapids and surrounding communities. That's after the supervisors study committee recommended $8.25-an-hour, a dollar more than state law requires, but a dollar less than neighboring Johnson County. Cedar Rapids mayor, Republican Ron Corbett, says the committee's $8.25 recommendation is palatable, but warned that delays invited power struggles. But supervisors chairman, Democrat Ben Rogers, says 'not so fast'. Linn County to Consider an $8.25 Minimum Wage By Dean Borg • Jun 21, 2016 A Linn County study commission is recommending increasing the county's minimum wage to $8.25 an hour by January 1st. The county board of supervisors convened the study commission. Linn Supervisors chairman Ben Rogers says he'll take the commission's recommendation to the supervisors' meeting tomorrow. The study commission supports Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett's motion for increasing Linn County's minimum wage. Corbett says it's needed to help workers and to prod Iowa legislators. Dakota Access Wants to Start Pipeline Construction, Lacks Permission from Army Corps of Engineers By Sarah Boden • Jun 1, 2016 Dakota Access map The Iowa Utilities Board deliberated Wednesday on whether to allow Dakota Access to begin pipeline construction in areas where it does not need eminent domain or special permission from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Though board members indicated they were not opposed to Dakota Access starting construction, they worried they lacked the jurisdiction to grant permission, in light of current lawsuits pending in district court.

A nurse opened the door and a young man, in his early twenties took of his hat and smiled at the nurse. She bowed while he walked in and headed towards the bed closest to the window.
Kei: Nozomi-chan.
Nozomi: Hm...?
Nozomi, in her late teens, looked at Kei and then smiled fondly.
Kei: The doctor told me you'll be getting your legs in no time.
Nozomi: That's good. How long has it been?
Kei: Three years? Four? Still trying to remember, it seems.
Nozomi looked out the window and saw birds singing their morning song. She slowly turned back to Kei.
Nozomi: It's hard to believe it's really a dream, you know.
Kei patted her hand, smiled, and walked out of the room. He saw another person about the same age as him sitting on the bench right outside Nozomi's room.
Kei: Youko, cheer up, alright? It's already been about three years.
Youko looked up and gave a tiny smirk.
Youko: True, but still think it's my fault. She didn't have to do that for me.
Kei: Well, I guess she already knew that we'd be together. Girls really have sharp instincts.
A young girl ran through the hospital hallway and a younger girl with her hair in pigtails was trying to catch her. She stopped when she saw Youko and Kei and then giggled.
Youko: I can't thank you enough either, Hanabi.
Hanabi: It was Kei's last wish. Sorry, I was unable to actually save her whole.
The three were silent for a second.
Kei: You said what she did was forbidden.
Hanabi: It is forbidden.
Youko: I didn't expect her to actually do that.
Hanabi: Most people don't, but think about the good side about this.
Hanabi: You and Nozomi are still alive. And I get to become number one!!
Kei: I'm glad you still have your spunk after all that trouble, Hanabi.
Hanabi: But really, that seemed to be all luck.
Youko: Luck?
Hanabi: Nevermind, let's just be glad she's still alive.
Kei: She won't be able to get her memory nor can she walk anymore though. If her brother ever found out about this, he might be in pain.
Hanabi: Don't worry, I'll fix this up!!
Youko: You can't just use your magic when your master doesn't tell you to.
Hanabi: True but it doesn't matter.
A man walked into the room where Nozomi was. A few seconds later, he called Hanabi in.
Hanabi: I'll come in soon. Wait a moment.
Youko: And who's that?
Hanabi: That's Taiki. Kisaragi Taiki.
Kei: Wait...Nozomi's brother!? She hasn't seen him for years. She won't even know who he is!
Hanabi: I took a long time to go find him, you know! She'll be fine in no time, just like you said Kei. And she will remember. I didn't have enough magic last time, but now I am juiced! Come on, let's go!
Kei: Miracles do happen, huh?
Youko: Yep...this really is a miracle.

Trainer John Moore is open about his expectations taking 11 horses to Sunday's international trial events with an eye to the Longines Hong Kong International Races, and is just as certain the best is still three weeks away.
Most of the local contenders step out on Sunday, and the invited foreign raiders will be named next Wednesday as the Sha Tin showpiece takes shape.
"It's always an exciting time. I'd say we can come away with two of the three on Sunday even though they aren't quite 100 per cent - you want them peaking December 8," Moore said.
His team are bristling with top-grade talent, with Horse Of The Year Military Attack in the Longines Jockey Club Cup along with Dominant, Same World and Ashkiyr, while the yard dominates the Jockey Club Sprint field with Sterling City and Frederick Engels, either of which might stamp himself the Hong Kong Sprint favourite with the right performance.
"Frederick Engels is better for the first run behind Sterling City and the way he closed that off and the weight turnaround makes me think he's the one to beat but Sterling City is going really well," Moore said.
But the second-up effort of Military Attack stepping back to the 2,000m where he has won the QE II Cup, Gold Cup and Singapore International Cup is going to attract the most attention.
"He got to the line strongly over the 1,600m and I'm very happy with him since. His work was strong on Monday with Dan Excel and he's going to be hard to beat coming back to set weights," Moore said. "His grand final is the Hong Kong Cup but he's fit enough to win, and I think anyone who was disappointed with Dominant's first run should look out for a much better run from him too."
The Cup looks devoid of pace, like so many of these top-grade middle-distance races, and Moore said he can see Same World being thrust into the role of frontrunner.
"Liberator likes to get forward, too, but as he has got older he seems to take some time to get there so Same World could be left in front, like he was in the Gold Cup," Moore said. "If Military Attack can draw a decent barrier, we might be able to have him closer and getting the box seat run he had there, too."
The yard isn't quite as strong in the mile division with Dan Excel, Destined For Glory and Xtension Moore's representatives and he concedes Gold-Fun looks the one to beat.
"Dan Excel is good enough, as we've seen, but his preparation was set back in the early stages with a viral issue, so he probably needs another run to get back to the form he was in when he won the Champions Mile," Moore said. "Gold-Fun looks the one to beat, along with Caspar's horses, but he will find it tougher going from handicaps to the set weights."

Globe-trotting Klinsmann a perfect fit for U.S.
By Julian Linden
NEW YORK (Reuters) - For a man who has spent half his life living and playing in foreign countries, Juergen Klinsmann seems the perfect fit as the United States head coach.
Personifying the mantra that you should practice what you preach, Klinsmann's globe-trotting exploits have made him the ideal man to lead an American team drawn from all corners of the world.
A lethal striker who scored 47 goals in 108 international appearances, Klinsmann's playing credentials are beyond dispute.
He was part of the West Germany team that won the World Cup in 1990, and Euro '96 as a unified nation, and used his sublime talents to travel the world, playing for clubs in England, Italy, France and his birthland.
He made an enormous impact in England, where he was named Footballer of the Year in his one full season at Tottenham Hotspur in 1994-95, later returning to the club on loan and almost single-handedly saving them from relegation in 1998.
He won honors with Inter Milan and Bayern Munich and also played with VfB Stuttgart, Monaco and Sampdoria.
When his playing days were over, he settled in California where he married an American and began a family, but the lure of returning to the game proved irresistible.
In 2004, he took over as head coach of the German national team, guiding them to the semi-finals of the 2006 World Cup, and also briefly served as head coach of Bayern Munich in 2008. Continued...

|A solution: java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'null'
|Tue, 07 Jan 2003 12:20:26 GMT
Hi all, I have found a solution to this problem. Its by no means elegant but if you get as desperate as I have got then you may wish to do the same. It appears that none of the information that you specify in your server.xml gets through to the actual dbcp stuff, don't ask me why. So what I did was crack open the source and hardcode all the details into org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource. Then I rebuilt, redeployed and everything works perfectly. I know this is not scalable or pretty but it is a solution that *will* work. The only question I have left remaining is that is it a security issue having the DB password wrapped up in that jar? (I can't see one) assuming that the server is never compromised. Thanks everybody for all the help given over the past couple of days, it was very much appreciated. regards, Dave

What If
Every woman and girl on the planet had a safe and effective way to manage her period?
With over 100 million girls lacking access to adequate menstrual products around the globe—causing them to miss schooldays during their period which can often lead to dropping out by the age of 14.
We want to turn "what if" into reality.
How? For every month's supply of Cora you receive we give a month's supply of sustainable pads to a girl in a developing country so she can do anything during her period.
A sustainable solution to the global period crisis.
Lots of people ask us if the products we give to girls in India are the same as the ones we sell.
Nope—we give something better.
Instead of sending products abroad—which can undermine the local economy—we partner with social enterprise organizations globally that are revolutionizing period management. Our shared goal: to empower women and girls in need.
Periods in India
355 million Indian women and girls menstruate on a monthly basis. However:
- Only 12% have access to sanitary napkins
- 200 million have a poor understanding of menstrual hygiene and related healthcare
- One in four Indian girls drops out of school when she gets her period
Pads with Purpose
We've partnered with some of the leading organizations in the global movement for accessible menstrual hygiene products within developing communities. Every sanitary pad is all-natural, sustainable and biodegradable, plus they're produced in small-scale manufacturing units in rural villages and urban slums to support the local economy and employ the women who live there.
How Our Giving Works
YOU get your supply of Cora.
WE add up our month's total sales—then buy the equivalent supply of sustainable pads from our local partners in India.
A COMMUNITY sets up small-scale manufacturing units to produce the pads.
LOCAL WOMEN are employed and paid a living wage.
WOMEN'S HEALTH education—including reproductive and menstrual wellness—is provided to empower employees (and their daughters).
THE PADS we've purchased are distributed to girls in local schools who otherwise couldn't access or afford them.

I am from Malaysia and will be starting work in Sydney in November. I am an easy-going person who loves adventure and will not mind having a night out every once in a while with housemates.
I am looking for a room in a share house as I reckon that it will be the easiest way to make new friends in a new environment and I hope to find one with people who are equally as easy-going and fun to hang out with.
Samantha is also interested in Teaming-Up and starting a new share house.
