American Journalist and Icon Howard K. Smith's Personal Library at Auction
Waverly Auctions in association with LiveAuctioneers.com are proud to presentthe library of Mr. and Mrs. Howard K. Smith including personally inscribed pieces from Presidents Johnson, Kennedy and Nixon.
FALLS CHURCH, Va.- Waverly Auctions (a subsidiary of Quinn's Auction Galleries) in association with LiveAuctioneers.com are honored to offer the personal library of esteemed ABC and CBS newsman Howard K. Smith and his wife, Benedicte Traberg Smith, on Thursday March 3. The collection includes autographed and personally inscribed books by Presidents Johnson, Kennedy and Nixon as well as pieces signed and inscribed by Winston Churchill and a significant collection of beautiful leather-bound literature, history, philosophy, and the classics.
Howard Kingsbury Smith was born in Ferriday, La., on May 12, 1914. He graduated as a Rhodes Scholar from Oxford University in 1939, after which he took his first media job working for the United Press in London. He was sent to Berlin and eventually joined CBS, where he began his career as one of America's journalistic icons. His fame originated with his time as a war correspondent with CBS Radio in Berlin in 1941 as one of "Murrow's Boys" referring to a team of journalists gathered by Edward R. Murrow that made CBS the dominant broadcast news source of the era. He later served as CBS News' European Correspondent, D.C. correspondent, and later, Chief Correspondent and general manager in Washington.
As a journalist, Smith covered World War II from Berlin, interviewing, among others, Adolf Hitler & Heinrich Himmler. He was on hand when the Germans surrendered to the Russians in 1945. He covered the Nuremburg trials in 1946, and hosted The Great Challenge and Face The Nation for CBS from Washington.
He later resigned from CBS over his position on civil rights and a comment he made on his program CBS Special Reports Who Speaks for Birmingham? in which he spoke out against the brutal beatings of Freedom Riders in an Alabama bus station. After his years with CBS, Smith joined ABC as a reporter and continued covering global events including the Vietnam War and the Cuban Missile Crisis. During his time with ABC in Washington, he was both a reporter and anchor, and hosted Howard K. Smith – News & Comment, ABC Scope, ABC Evening News and later ABC News Closeup.
While with CBS, he moderated the first-ever televised presidential debate between then-Senator John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard M. Nixon, on September 26, 1960. The Smiths' library includes a copy of John F. Kennedy's book The Strategy of Peace inscribed "In Howard Smith- a distinguished public servant - with esteem - John Kennedy" which will be sold along with Richard Nixon's book The Challenges We Face inscribed "To Howard K. Smith, with appreciation and respect for his distinguished news reporting and analysis of world events, From Richard Nixon, (First Debate 9-26-60) . Each book has tipped into the bindings a photo of the debate featuring all three men.

The House of Representatives voted unanimously Monday to extend the deadline for the home buyers' tax credit for one group of Americans.HR 3590 will allow eligible military personnel and foreign service and intelligence officers to apply for the $8,000 tax credit for one year beyond its current November 30 deadline. Those meeting the underlying requirements for the credit must also be serving overseas or have spent at least 90 days deployed outside of the country during the current calendar year. It is expected that about 350,000 military personnel and an unknown number of federal employees may be affected by the new law.The bill, introduced by Representative Charles Rangel (D-NY) because it was thought that families serving overseas were being passed over for this one-time opportunity to purchase a home. It passed the Housed passed with 416 votes and 16 abstentions.There is currently a battle being waged over extending the popular credit for all eligible persons and possibly even removing the requirement that the home be a qualified first-time purchase. Many credit the current tax break for a recent surge in the housing market after months of rising inventories and falling prices. Such an extension is strongly supported by the National Association of Realtors, the National Association of Homebuilders, and other major players in the housing industry, however, many argue against it on the basis of cost.The Rangel bill will also prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from pursuing payback of the credit if the homeowner is deployed after receiving it. Under the original law a homeowner was required to occupy the home for 36 months or the credit would be recaptured. Because the military, the State Department and intelligence agencies frequently relocate their personnel and their families, some have been reluctant to apply for the credit even if they did purchase a home.The bill must still be considered by the Senate but similar easy passage is expected.

|Director of Men's and Women's Cross Country and Track
|26 Years
Pete Colaizzo (Marist '86) is in his 26th year as head coach of the cross country and track and field programs at Marist College. Since taking over the program during the winter of 1991, Colaizzo has overseen the complete transformation of the Running Red Foxes. When Colaizzo began in January of 1991, there were four active runners taking part in the club sport of track and field. He marshaled the transition back to NCAA Division I intercollegiate competition for all three seasons. Marist has fielded intercollegiate cross country teams since 1963, while track alternated between club and varsity status from 1963-1991, before becoming a full three-season endeavor in 1991.
Colaizzo is a big believer in the long-term development of his athletes, and that development does not end with their graduation from Marist College. To that end, in the summer of 2004, Colaizzo formed the Marist Alumni Racing Team. Alumni runners now don the Marist red-and-white at such prestigious events as the Boston Marathon and New York City Marathon.
Colaizzo was a four-year member of the cross country, indoor track and outdoor track teams at Marist College from 1982 through 1986. During his college career, Colaizzo specialized in long-distance races. Colaizzo still remains active as a recreational long-distance runner. Along with the Marist Alumni Racing Team, Colaizzo is also affiliated with the Mid-Hudson Road Runners Club and the Broadway Ultra Society. He has completed 57 marathon or ultra-marathon runs in his career, including at least one marathon finish per year for the past 30 years.
In addition to his coaching responsibilities at Marist College, Colaizzo works in the Student-Athlete Enhancement Center as a Writing Skills Specialist, assisting Red Fox student-athletes with their academic course work throughout the semester. He is also an adjunct instructor at Marist. Colaizzo is a freelance writer whose work regularly appears in the Poughkeepsie Journal, where he worked full-time for 23 years. His writing has been honored by the New York State Associated Press and in Best of Gannett competitions.
Colaizzo resides in Hyde Park, NY, with his wife Heidi and their children, Joey, Natalie and James.

Danielle Harris
Danielle Harris is the toughest and most talented tiny chick in Hollywood. Fans of the original Halloween film series (at least starting in the fourth installment) know her as Jamie Lloyd, the resourceful niece of the unstoppable Michael Myers. After stints on TV series like Roseanne and That's Life, she's back in the horror genre and still kicking ass in those scary Halloween films under the guidance of long-haired horror maestro Rob Zombie. Also an astute webmistress, an author and an aspiring director, Danielle Harris not only has a strong pair of screaming lungs, but she's also blessed with a cunning and creative mind that is just beginning to tap into its true potential.
AppealThere's something admirable about a hot woman who is strong enough to take on The Shape multiple times and survive. Although she measures in at a tiny 5'0, Danielle Harris is full of fire, and living proof that good things come in small packages. Trained in weapons, fighting and pole dancing, she has all of the qualities (and more) that we would want from a scream queen crush. She also has a love for '80s love songs, massages and garlic bread sticks, all of which have us thinking that a candlelight Italian dinner followed by some Air Supply and scented oils might be enough to win her over.
As an attractive Hollywood star and dedicated scream queen, Danielle Harris has a loyal male following both inside and outside of the horror genre. While most of the guys who are crushing on her at movies or upon meeting her at horror conventions are perfectly harmless (and sometimes, a bit geeky), she had a very troubling experience with one of them after she turned 18. Upon gaining a recurring role on Roseanne, Danielle Harris acquired an obsessed fan -- a guy who sent her hundreds of letters and was arrested at her home with while in possession of a gun and a teddy bear. Thankfully, she's safe and sound these days as she enjoys a relationship with Coby McLaughlin, the lead singer of Analog Smith.
SuccessA scream queen since she first dodged horror boogeyman Michael Myers in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988), Danielle Harris has embraced her place as a horror actress in subsequent Halloween films (of the Zombie and non-Zombie variety) and also diversified herself through live-action TV shows like That's Life and animated ones such as Father of the Pride and The Wild Thornberrys. Though horror films are her first love, she likes to keep variety in her workload, especially voice-over work that allows her to come to the recording studio in pajamas.
As ambitious as she is talented, Danielle Harris is a former child star who didn't go the way of Lindsay Lohan or Corey Haim. While she had her share of underage partying early on, she stayed in the right crowd and didn't use her fame as a means of self-destruction. Now she's using her industry status as a scream queen to seek out good horror roles and expand her viral horizons. A frequent contributor to her MySpace page, which she started because a previous impostor's page was "lame," Danielle Harris is currently starring in the all-star horror web series Fear Clinic, while making last-minute plans to launch her own web site, HorrorGal.com.
Danielle Harris BiographyDanielle Harris's fast foray into show business all but assured the future beauty that her childhood would be everything except normal. A fan of classic TV like The Honeymooners and young movie stars like Brooke Shields, Danielle Harris won a beauty pageant during her elementary school years that sent her family of one sister and their mother to New York for a series of television commercials.
Though she remained an academically solid student during this time period, Danielle Harris' main focus was her blossoming acting career, which became a reality when she was cast in a role on the television soap opera, One Life to Live in 1985. Faced with the bizarre task of playing a girl who was initially an embryo transplanted from her deceased mom, the young actress stayed on the show for three years and coaxed just the right amount of tearjerking and sympathy from her intended audience. In 1987, she switched gears by taking a guest-starring role on the well-respected 1980s TV series Spenser: For Hire.
danielle harris stars in halloween 4 and 5 and on roseanneAfter originating on television, Danielle Harris auditioned for the role of Jamie Lloyd, daughter of Laurie Strode, in the fourth film of the Halloween series. The audition process was narrowed down to two finalists: Danielle Harris and future Sabrina, the Teenage Witch star Melissa Joan Hart, but Danielle Harris won because she was more adept at the two horror staples of screaming and crying. As Jamie Lloyd, Danielle Harris became a fan favorite and returned for the fifth installment of the series, Halloween 5 in 1989, but was recast for Halloween 6 following disagreements over the direction of the character and her contract.
Danielle Harris went on to play Steven Seagal's niece in Marked for Death (1990), as well as Christina Applegate's younger sister in Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991) before returning to TV in 1992 to play Molly, the neighbor and friend to Sara Gilbert on the hit series Roseanne. Danielle Harris's performance on the show led to a Young Artist nomination in 1993 for Best Young Actress Recurring in a Television Series and translated into more work on films like 1993's sleeper hit Free Willy and the 1996 Sylvester Stallone film Daylight.
She later returned to the horror genre as the goth roommate of Alicia Witt in 1998's Urban Legend and lend her voice to the long-running animated series The Wild Thornberrys. Danielle Harris would especially come to enjoy doing voice-over work because it allowed her to connect with a family audience that was unable to see her horror films.
danielle harris stars in that's life and rob zombie's halloween and halloween 2Very appreciative of the career benefits of working on a television series (i.e., earning a regular paycheck), Danielle Harris joined the cast of the sitcom That's Life in 2000. Originally a background character and pal to series lead Heather Paige Kent, Danielle Harris's character of Plum came to the forefront when she began an on-screen romance with costar Kevin Dillon. After the series was canceled two years later, Danielle Harris worked mostly in voice-over work with her most notable project being the 2004 Siegfried and Roy animated series, Father of the Pride.
In 2005, Danielle Harris made an unexpected return to the film series that made her famous -- with a few twists. After wowing director Rob Zombie in an audition, Danielle Harris won the role of Annie Brackett in his 2007 remake of Halloween. It was most surprising, considering that the director had no intention of casting any actors from the original series into his new version. Fans accepted her in the new role and the film was a hit with Danielle Harris returning in 2009 for a role in the sequel. In addition, Danielle Harris also starred in the 2009 thrillers Blood Night and Cyrus while also nabbing a regular role on the web series Fear Clinic, alongside the original Freddy Krueger (Robert England) and the former Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder). Lastly, she put the wheels in motion to write her first book and launch her own horror-themed website, HorrorGal.com.

Man helps solve geese problems
SOMERSET (AP) — Property owners around the nation have struggled to control exploding populations of geese, but a western Pennsylvania man said he's devised a way to manage them without firing a shot.
The Somerset Daily American reported Sunday that Larry Crespo basically bothers the geese so much that many decide to fly somewhere else.
Crespo's career over the past 10 years has included managing deer populations at state parks and trapping beavers for the federal government.
Crespo uses a car, a kayak and even a remote-control boat to keep flocks of geese from settling down on the lawns and parks of his customers.

: Braided Extensions and Caring for Natural Hair
So I transitioned with braids (extensions). When I took the braids out my hair grew so long I couldn't believe it.
Now that I am fully natural I was thinking of braiding it again. I guess a way to kind of give my hair a break and let it grow without the combing and constant styling. Not to mention I am getting tired of twisting and braiding everyday, and want stress free styling so I can focus on sleeping, eating well, and working out. I also feel like my hair grows faster when braided. (this is probably a myth but I dont know)
Can any of you ladies and gents give me advice on keeping my natural hair healthy underneath the braids? Are there particular styles I should focus on?
Thanks for your help!
4a-4b hair. Not sure yet so I'll just say both!

Veteran Labour MP Gwyneth Dunwoody, the longest-serving female member of parliament, died last night at the age of 77 after a short illness.
A formidable and well-respected Commons figure who championed backbench rights and shot to prominence as the chair of the transport select committee, Dunwoody was taken ill a week ago and died peacefully yesterday evening, according to her son.
Leading the tributes, Gordon Brown called Dunwoody "a great parliamentarian" and said she was "politics at its best". He said: "So many people will be so sad to hear of the death of Gwyneth Dunwoody. She was always her own person. She was fiercely independent."
The MP for Crewe and Nantwich came from political stock. Both her grandmothers were suffragettes, her father, Morgan Phillips, was general secretary of the Labour party and her mother, Norah Phillips, served in the Lords before being made Lord Lieutenant of London.
Born in Fulham, London, in 1930, she joined the Labour party in 1946. She began her political career as a councillor in Totnes, south Devon, but stood as the candidate for Exeter in 1964 and won the seat in 1966. She was a minister on the Board of Trade between 1967 and 1970.
She lost her seat in 1970, but came back to the house in 1974 as MP for Crewe and Nantwich. She was variously a frontbench opposition spokesman on foreign and commonwealth affairs, health and transport, and was a member of the European parliament from 1974 to 1979. She stood for the post of Speaker of the Commons after Betty Boothroyd resigned in 2000, but lost by 341 votes to 170.
She was often a thorn in New Labour's side and was told by chief whip Hilary Armstrong in July 2001 that she was being stripped of the chair of the transport committee. The Commons staged a rebellion and insisted that she was reinstated .
"For me," she said in 2005, "parliament is not only the most important forum for the British people, it is also the last defender of the rights of all citizens."
Former Labour MP Tony Benn said Dunwoody always spoke her mind. "She was a very remarkable woman and a very powerful member of parliament. She took a very independent stance on the European Union and was respected by the house."
Dunwoody's son David said his mother died "in a gentle and calm way". She had a daughter, two sons and 10 grandchildren.

The Metaphysics of the Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus
The new Apple iPhone 6, and 6 Plus which have just been released in Australia, are a huge combination of healing, sharing, growing tools, from a metaphysical perspective.
In case you have not heard much about this viewpoint, I outline what these theories work with. Someyears back a book was published called Vibrational Medicine by Dr Richard Gerber. In this book, there was a convergence of thinking which saw modern Newtonian medicine as only half the truth. In fact a combination of conventional medicine and Vibrational Medicine could give people the chance to live their lives to the fullest by incorporating theories of energy physics – as the best overall answer.
Energy physics can be applied to the technologies that we use every day. Natural vibrational flower essences such as the Bach Flower Remedies discoverd and classified by Dr Edward Bach in Britain in the 1930s emphasised Nature and natural processes in healing psychological and emotional issues. Here the emphasis is on the root causative connection to mental and physical health and to see the personality of the person presenting with such issues in a holistic way. So too quartz crystals are a part of such medicine. Different type of crystals such as clear quartz, rose quartz and citrine, and amethyst have metaphysical properties such as being able to heal and balance the energy centres of the human body known as chakras or the 7 major spinning wheels of light which is the subtle energy system upon which the physical body is built.
The metaphysical properties of computers, tablets, mobile phones, watches all use the subtle energies of the above mentioned naturally occurring energies that are tapped into to give huge powers to care for the physical body and the psychological self. In these the major component is the quartz crystal timing chips which structure everyday realities such as time, and perceptions of beingness in existence on planet Earth.
In terms of the iPhone6 and 6 plus, the energies are a synthesis of the numerological number 6 – which represents a involvement in families and family life. Its quartz crystal energy has the power to create loving relationships of various types and to solidify those relationships for the best possible way to heal loneliness and a sense of disconnection.
So too are the chips that are used in these phones- the A8 64-bit processor is metaphysically one that gives people psychic guidance in terms of the ability to tap into astral (other worlds and planets on a different dimensional level) and thereby be able to find answers to their personal questions. In terms of the M8 motion processor, this gives information and guidance on where to be and when – i.e. being able to synchronise with others on group soul level, which is a social media platform based in a physical way. Ie these phones are excellent for kindred souls to meet on a physical level and share common interests.
The Apple iPhone 6 and 6 plus have a psychic connection to The Runes – the ancient Nordic forecasting system, which can be used in combination with the pebbles with symbols on them, to create a sense of the future and what ones goal and ambitions are. As such these phones are excellent for young people particularly adolescent children as they learn how to navigate an increasingly uncertain future, and can help in structuring a loving economic and social future.

Heidi Klum and Martin Kristen: Couples Stroll in Santa Monica
Enjoying a morning together without the kids, Heidi Klum and Martin Kristen took their dog for a walk in Santa Monica on Saturday (December 28).
The "Project Runway" host wore a turquoise jacket and matching printed leggings as she held hands with her beefy beau while he held tight to their Pomeranian's leash.
Just the day before, the 40-year-old model brought three dogs with her for a scenic excursion.
Posting a photo of the little pooch and two shepherds, Heidi wrote, "Took my boys on a hike in my new #HKNB work out gear."

DeCode Genetics, a pioneering company that used the Icelandic population as its guinea pigs in detecting disease-causing mutations, filed for bankruptcy on Tuesday.
The company's demise suggests that the medical promise of the human genome may take much longer to be fulfilled than its sponsors had hoped. Based in Reykjavik, Iceland, it was founded in 1996 by Dr. Kari Stefansson, a research neurologist who worked at the University of Chicago and at Harvard. After the human genome sequence was achieved in 2003, Dr. Stefansson quickly realized that Iceland's excellent medical records, combined with the genealogical information available on its close-knit population, provided a fine test bed for seeking the roots of genetically complex diseases like cancer, diabetes and schizophrenia.

Bowhunter's Buyer's Guide: Binoculars
Posted on June 6, 2011
Performance-Minded Binocular
When bowhunting western game, especially mule deer in the high country, I spend half my time peering through a 10–42 binocular. Last fall, I put the new Nikon EDG to the test, and I came away utterly impressed. Overall, I'd have to give it a five-out-five in every category.
To start with, this optic's picture resolution and sharpness appears unmatched, offering true-to-life viewing with exceptional edge-to-edge clarity across the entire area. The 42mm objective lenses and Nikon's unique extra-low dispersion, fully multi-coated lenses provide brightness and picture detail beyond belief. It will help you pick out those nearly undistinguishable but vital elements such as a section of a deer's antler, ear, or leg, hidden in the dark shadows of nature.
The binocular also has the largest field of view I've seen in this size–341 feet at 1,000 yards. This increases your effectiveness to "look over" more terrain and spot more animals.
The EDG not only excels in optical excellence but in comfort and toughness too. I consider a binocular's ergonomics important, as what feels right in your hands becomes an extension of it and makes using the tool more enjoyable and natural. This leads to greater glassing effectiveness.
The EDG's magnesium-based "open tube" design allows for comfortable, untiring, one-hand comfort that I value in modern-style optics. I find this trait especially useful for quick-looks as I'm walking through the woods, and I must lift and view using only one hand, as the other has my bow in it. The binocular weighs in nice as well (about 29 ounces), which I find light enough to pack around but not so light that it doesn't hold steady when viewing.
Tough hunting and weather conditions weren't a problem for the EDG either. I banged and skidded the binocular across rough granite and soiled ground during stalks, and encountered wet, cold, frost-like weather conditions. During all of this, it didn't skip a beat. Despite being battered and plunged into water, it performed as usual–very bright, clear and functional. With some models, I've seen the external componentry unravel from such abuse, but not the EDG. All decals, knobs, and rubber armoring stayed in place.
The EDG is certainly an upper-echelon optic that carries an elite retail price, but a wise investment that will keep you content through a lifetime of hunting.

Superb Traditional-Hunting Video
A few months back I received a DVD from Steve Gorr, the owner of Cascade Archery. Steve is not only a phenomenal archer and bowhunter, but he's a tremendous bowyer who makes some of the finest-crafted recurve and longbows on the market.
Steve, despite knowing I'm a "techie" modern-compound archer, urged me to watch his new traditional-bowhunting video called "Bowhunting Reflections–The Joy of Archery." I did, and let me tell you, I enjoyed it immensely. I've watched it twice now– once with my good trad-hunting buddy and once by myself.
This 90-minute DVD takes you on a sensational journey through a variety of successful bowhunts, all while shedding light on the romance and mystique that true archery hunting involves. The delivery is not only entertaining, but it's educational and includes tips on how to shoot better.
The hunting footage is captivating, in-your-face-type-stuff filled with constant action. You'll watch Gorr and friends Fred Anderson and Chris Hill pursue all sorts of game, from western mulies, elk and antelope, to bison and whitetail deer. There's also plenty of up-close-and-personal African hunting thrown into the mix–massive big-game succumbing to well-placed shots from these stick-n-string masters.
Overall I found "Bowhunting Reflections" a clear thumbs up. It hammers in what heart-and-soul bowhunting is all about. Check it out for yourself.

Like the explorers aboard the ships of Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 quest for the Northwest Passage, an elite team of professional underwater archaeologists will be racing against the clock before the winter freeze.
A new research project launched on Thursday by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, is the latest expedition sent to find the watery graves of the Terror and Erebus, which have captured global imagination for almost two centuries.
"It's been called the Holy Grail of wrecks in Canadian waters," said Marc-André Bernier, Parks Canada's chief underwater archaeologist, who leads the mission.
With a $275,000 cash infusion for a four to six-week expedition, by far the most significant contribution ever for the largest search since 1967, the divers are confident they may be able to find the only national historic sites not yet located.
"It's become one of those Canadian myths and would be a tremendous cultural find," said William Barr, a historian with the Arctic Institute of North America in Calgary and author of Arctic Hell-Ship, a book about Enterprise, one of the vessels the British sent in search of the lost Franklin ships in 1850.
The Conservatives, despite an austerity agenda that has forced cuts on government services including Parks Canada, have made establishing Canada's claim to Arctic sovereignty a priority and are investing in historically significant national projects. Ottawa spent only $200,000 in total on Parks Canada's missions to seek the wrecks in 2008, 2010 and 2011. Critics call the link to Canadian Arctic sovereignty tenuous: These were British ships in what was then British waters.
Franklin embarked on his ill-fated search for the Northwest Passage in 1845. By 1848, he was dead and the ships were ice-locked near King William Island. The survivors attempted to walk south to a fur trading post, and all died in their tracks from hunger and cold. The ships are believed to have drifted, possibly hundreds of kilometres.
Advances in immersion technology have brought 98 per cent of the world's ocean floor within reach of divers and treasure hunters. With few international protocols on underwater heritage preservation, many historians complain the sea has become a free-for-all. On the other hand, conducting explorations of all wrecks to proper archaeological standards is expensive and time-consuming.
"Historically, we should be able to search for four weeks, but our strategy will change in the presence of ice," Mr. Bernier said. "In two to three weeks, we're completely weather dependent."
This year, Parks Canada will search the Victoria and Alexandra Strait region, where one of the vessels is thought to have foundered, and the southern region near O'Reilly Island, where Inuit oral tradition situates the other wreck. The team will also help the Canadian Hydrographic Service to map the Arctic sea floor.
Parks Canada archaeologists received international acclaim after excavations in the 1970s on 16th century Basque whaling ships off Red Bay in the coastal waters of Labrador. They provided for the first time detailed insight into the European pursuit of whale oil across the Atlantic.
Diving for this team inevitably raises thoughts of maritime disaster.
"You're pretty much guaranteed that something tragic happened, so even as you're excited about it, you can't avoid the emotional context that the wreck is also a memorial or a tomb," Mr. Bernier said.
Raising the Erebus and Terror, if they are found, is not the priority. Although some argue that these ships have significant cultural value, to which all Canadians should have access in a museum, Mr. Bernier disagrees. "The context of location helps is also a part of the wrecks' history," he explained. "Whenever you go down for a dive, it's like you're travelling back into time."
Long gone are the days when archeology meant plundering for sale to museums and private collectors. But it's never easy to police the sea bed.
The Empress of Ireland is one such infamous wreck in Canada that has been looted. The ocean liner sank in the Saint Lawrence River after colliding with a Norwegian collier in 1914. More than 1,000 people died in the accident, a tragedy on the epic scale of the Titanic. But unlike the Titanic, which requires expertise to reach, The Empress has lured amateur treasure seekers because of its relatively shallow depth, and many items have gone missing, Mr. Bernier said.
Under the Canada National Parks Act, anyone removing, damaging or destroying prehistoric or historic artifacts or structures, is subject to a fine of $2,000. So far, no one has been charged.
"We are only a team of seven," Mr. Bernier said. "We just can't be everywhere at once."Report Typo/Error

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/5/2014 (1144 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
An unlikely critic has joined the ranks of those who have questioned why police didn't call off a high-speed chase along a busy city street earlier this year — the man accused of being in the fleeing car.
Anthony Paul Blais — one of two suspects arrested in January at the end of the mid-morning chase along Victoria Avenue — says the pursuit was dangerous and police should have called it off.
"I think they know they should have pulled the chase off," Blais said in a recent phone call to the Brandon Sun from the Brandon jail where he's being held. "I mean, there was no reason to continue that chase. I mean, if it was obviously unsafe. They'd already had one officer in an accident."
The Brandon Police Service fired back on Friday, during an interview with the police chief and other high-ranking official, saying the force had to act.
"We can't let somebody run amok in our city," said the force's media spokesperson, Sgt. Dallas Lockhart. "We have a responsibility, an obligation, to protect the citizens."
Blais, 42, and Laura Lee Dawn Palmer, 34, were both arrested on Jan. 2 following the chase that ended on the eastern outskirts of the city with a crash.
Police say the chase brought an end to a crime spree that began in Alberta and left a trail of break-ins and vehicle thefts as it went east through Saskatchewan and into Manitoba.
The pursuit actually began west of Brandon, when RCMP spotted a man and woman in a stolen pickup truck near Virden. Mounties, however, said they decided not to pursue the truck because of its high speed.
The man and woman then stole a car from Oak Lake, which Brandon police spotted as it turned onto Highway 1A and the suspects' car reached 150 km/h as it headed toward the city.
On Victoria Avenue, just west of 34th Street, police made a failed effort to deploy a stop stick to deflate the tires of the fleeing vehicle.
The pursuit continued east along the length of Victoria Avenue — which is lined with businesses and homes — and ended when the suspects' car turned onto Highway 110 and hit another civilian vehicle.
The BPS later confirmed that an unmarked police car was also in a single-vehicle collision near the intersection of 18th Street and Rosser Avenue. The officer hit a pole while avoiding a vehicle in front of him.
That police car wasn't directly involved in the pursuit, police say. The officer was moving into position to assist, if needed — to block intersections, for example, or take control of the scene if there was a collision.
Nobody was seriously injured in the chase, nor in the separate collision that involved the unmarked police car.
Blais and Palmer both remain in custody and face numerous charges in relation to the crime spree, and each is charged with dangerous driving and flight from police in relation to the chase within the city.
Palmer was reportedly the driver as the car entered the city, right up to the time that a high-risk switch was made on Victoria Avenue East and Blais took the wheel.
The allegations against the couple haven't been proven in court.
In the days following the chase, police were criticized for not calling it off, for letting it continue along a major city street.
Now, Blais himself says police should have halted the pursuit at 34th Street, after the failed effort to deploy the stop stick and before the suspect car went deeper into the city.
"Why would they put the Brandon public at risk?" Blais asked during his phone call from jail.
In that call, Blais called himself a "criminal" — he has a lengthy prior record — and acknowledges that he and Palmer are accused of being the ones who endangered lives.
But, he said, as public officials, police should "man up" if they've made a mistake.
He said he takes issue with a police account of the chase printed in a Brandon Sun article shortly after the incident.
In that account, police confirmed there's constant radio contact between officers during a pursuit and it can be called off if it's unsafe for officers, suspects and the general public.
However, they said the pursuit wasn't cancelled because the suspect driver — believed to be Palmer at the time — had slowed down once inside the city and traffic wasn't heavy.
While he couldn't provide specific speeds, a BPS spokesman said the speed of the suspects' car was reasonable and the chase would have been stopped if it was excessive.
However, Blais said he has seen the speeds in police notes and reports and says they were excessive.
He says officers note the fleeing car was going no slower than 100 km/h between traffic lights, and no slower than 60 km/h as it ran red lights.
Blais said police note the car was going 120 km/h to 140 km/h along Victoria Avenue East when his co-accused moved from the driver's seat to the back seat and he jumped into the driver's seat and took control. The vehicle swerved across the oncoming lane when that happened, he said.
But, the chase should have been stopped before that, Blais said — back in the west end near 34th Street when the stop stick was deployed.
He says a woman crossing the street was nearly hit by the stop stick when police threw it down. The suspects' car then swerved and narrowly missed the woman.
On Friday, police were asked if, based on Blais' account, they made a mistake by not calling off the pursuit.
BPS Chief Ian Grant said he was confident that policy and procedure were followed and that decisions made by all officers involved were sound given the circumstances.
While police wouldn't supply the Brandon Sun with a copy of their pursuit policies — citing a need to protect police strategy — they said it favours stopping a pursuit over continuing it.
Lack of information via radio updates will result in a pursuit being stopped.
BPS Insp. Doug Thompson said that, when it comes to the events described by Blais at 34th Street, video and audio recordings from a patrol vehicle were reviewed and no pedestrians were on the street or the side of the street, or seen jumping out of the way.
Thompson agreed with Blais that the suspects' car was going at least 60 km/h as it approached city intersections, but officers blocked several major streets that adjoin Victoria Avenue to protect other motorists.
During pursuits, there's constant monitoring by radio. Officers can alert a staff sergeant at the office and a street supervisor of concerns and the pursuit can be stopped.
Thompson said they had to act to protect the public, given the suspect's actions prior to entering the city.
When the suspects were still in the pickup west of the city, Mounties clocked them at 150 km/h to 160 km/h and the truck had rammed another vehicle, although there were no injuries.
Both the crash involving the police vehicle and the pursuit within the city were reviewed by the BPS.
Insp. Shane Corley said the collision investigation concluded that speed was a factor, and a Crown attorney is reviewing the matter to determine whether or not charges should be laid against the officer.
The force also reviewed the pursuit as a whole, but Thompson said no changes to any policies or procedures were made as a result.
Grant said the pursuit will be reviewed again as part of a policy to review such incidents at the end of each year.

Something to consider as well is to have them verify that the Battery you have is coded correctly to the car. When I went in and checked mine after the battery died, I discovered they had it coded incorrectly. They had it coded at 110Ah Lead Acid, instead of a 90Ah AGM. The 6 series is supposed to charge the battery in an "optimum" method, and you are supposed to tell the car when you chnaged the battery as well. My favorite comment by someone here about the "smart" system, was something along the lines of, "if it so smart, why can't it figure out when the battery was changed" GRIN. Come to think of it I had my system reset and software updated at BMW not too long ago. I will have to verify that they have my battery coded correctly too.
I use the C-tek Battery Tender, based on the information I found here on this forum. I have been putting her on the tender once a week as well. She typically responds well to that. I have had a wealth of other problems, of which I'm hoping I will have resolved this weekend. Fingers crossed, yes i am resorting to crossing my fingers, LOL.

Records: U-M (16-6, 5-4 Big Ten), MSU (18-4, 6-3)
Next U-M Event: Thursday, Feb. 7 -- vs. Illinois (Crisler Center), 7 p.m.
EAST LANSING, Mich. -- The University of Michigan women's basketball team dropped a 61-46 decision to Michigan State on Monday night (Feb. 4) at the Breslin Center. MSU went on a 24-4 run that spanned the end of the first half and the beginning of the second to put the game out of reach.
Senior forward Nya Jordan (Detroit, Mich./Detroit Community) recorded her third double-double of the season, scoring 12 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Senior guard Kate Thompson (Plymouth, Minn./Wayzata) scored 11 points and senior forward Rachel Sheffer (Watervliet, Mich./Watervliet) chipped in 12 points and five rebounds. MSU shot 42.4 percent (25-for-59) from the floor for the game, compared to Michigan's 32.1 percent (17-for-53); U-M hit just 3-of-20 from beyond the arc.
The teams went back and forth in the early going, with Michigan taking a four-point lead (18-14) off a Jordan lay-up with 4:48 to go in the first half, equaling U-M's largest lead of the game. The Spartans answered by going on a 15-4 run to close the half, taking a 29-22 halftime lead.
The first half featured five ties and three lead changes, with neither team leading by more than seven points. Michigan shot 38.5 percent (10-for-26) from the floor in the first half, going 0-for-9 from behind the arc. MSU managed a 44.8-percent (13-for-29) clip, including a 50-percent mark (2-for-4) from three-point range. Sheffer led the way with eight points and five rebounds for the Wolverines in the half, with Jordan scoring six and grabbing four boards.
MSU scored the first nine points of the second half, extending its halftime lead to 16 points (38-22) at the17:11 mark of the second half, forcing a Michigan timeout. Jordan scored on a putback on the ensuing Michigan possession to halt the run.
Michigan cut the Spartan lead to 14 points, 47-33, off a Sheffer fast-break lay-up with 10:51 to go, but Michigan State's Becca Mills scored seven straight points to push the MSU advantage back to 21 points with 8:46 to go in the game.
Back-to-back treys from Thompson slashed MSU's lead to 15 points, 54-39, with 7:13 on the clock. A lay-up by Jordan with 6:28 to go further cut the Spartans' lead to 13, but Michigan did not score again until three Thompson free throws with 4:40 to go in the game. Thompson's free throws made the score 56-44 in favor of the home team as Michigan completed a 9-2 run. However, the Wolverines scored just two more points the rest of the way.
Michigan returns home to the Crisler Center next, hosting Illinois on Thursday (Feb. 7) at 7 p.m. The game is U-M's "Pink Game," as fans are encouraged to wear pink to the game.

It's no secret that things between Conan O'Brien and the NBC network have been strained as of late, and it looks like they'll part ways tomorrow (January 22).
The crimson-haired comedian has reportedly reached an agreement with his soon-to-be former employer and will be vacating his "Tonight Show" throne at the end of this week.
When Conan O'Brien moved to the West Coast to take over the "Tonight Show" gig, over 200 staff members went with him. And now that he's getting ditched by NBC, he's making sure his workers aren't left out in the cold.
According to a report, the crimson-haired comedian won't budge on negotiations with NBC until they agree to pay adequate severance for his staff, in addition to his $32+ million package.
After much controversy, Conan O'Brien will reportedly be signing a $32.5 million deal to leave "The Tonight Show" that was between the host and NBC.
The agreement may be ready by Tuesday and would enclose that O'Brien not bad mouth his former bosses at NBC yet allow him to take another job within a year.
It has been fun watching Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien handle the schedule change with NBC's late night lineup and finally Leno laid it all out in a matter-of-fact fashion last night.
During his primetime program, the former-and-soon-to-be "Tonight Show" host explained, "I think you know this town, you can do almost anything. You get ratings, they keep you. I wasn't getting the ratings, he wasn't getting 'em, that was NBC's solution."
It's part of their job to make fun of people, and last night both Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno took more shots at each other during their opening monologues.
On the "Tonight Show," Conan stated that he'd been offered a role in a porn film and that he could imagine shooting a scene with a beautiful woman only to be replaced by Leno before he 'finished.'
As the feud over the NBC late night slot moves forward, the latest reports tell that Jay Leno has struck a deal for an hour-long show with the network.
With Conan O'Brien appearing to be on the way out, Leno will slide back into his previous role by hosting "The Tonight Show" from 11:35 - 12:35.
Attention all Conan fans! Get your fix while you can because "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" is reportedly coming to an abrupt end.
A source recently told People magazine that next Friday (January 22) will most likely be O'Brien's last night as host.
As the saga of the NBC late night schedule continues, Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno have taken the tension to the next level.
Last night on "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien," the crimson-haired funnyman took a direct shot at his predecessor for trying to take back his time slot.

Pleasure, Dopamine, and Food Intake
Byron's Comments:
If you don't get enough dopamine release giving you pleasure you will keep eating until you do.
Study Title:Relation Between Obesity and Blunted Striatal Response to Food Is Moderated by TaqIA A1 Allele.
Study Abstract:
The dorsal striatum plays a role in consummatory food reward, and striatal dopamine receptors are reduced in obese individuals, relative to lean individuals, which suggests that the striatum and dopaminergic signaling in the striatum may contribute to the development of obesity. Thus, we tested whether striatal activation in response to food intake is related to current and future increases in body mass and whether these relations are moderated by the presence of the A1 allele of the TaqIA restriction fragment length polymorphism, which is associated with dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) gene binding in the striatum and compromised striatal dopamine signaling. Cross-sectional and prospective data from two functional magnetic resonance imaging studies support these hypotheses, which implies that individuals may overeat to compensate for a hypofunctioning dorsal striatum, particularly those with genetic polymorphisms thought to attenuate dopamine signaling in this region.
From press release:
Using brain imaging and chocolate milkshakes, scientists have found that women with weakened "reward circuitry" in their brains are at increased risk of weight gain over time and potential obesity. The risk increases even more for women who also have a gene associated with compromised dopamine signaling in the brain.
The results, drawn from two studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at the University of Oregon's Lewis Center for Neuroimaging, appear in the Oct. 17 issue of the journal Science. The first-of-its-kind approach unveiled blunted activation in the brain's dorsal stratium when subjects were given milkshakes, which may reflect less-than-normal dopamine output.
"Although recent findings suggested that obese individuals may experience less pleasure when eating, and therefore eat more to compensate, this is the first prospective evidence for this relationship," said Eric Stice, lead author and senior researcher at the Oregon Research Institute (ORI) in Eugene. "The evidence of temporal precedence suggests it is a true vulnerability factor that predates obesity onset. In addition, the evidence that this relation is even stronger for individuals at genetic risk for compromised signaling in these brain regions points to an important biological factor that appears to increase risk for obesity onset."
Stice, who has a courtesy appointment in the UO psychology department, has studied eating disorders and obesity for 18 years. He was joined in the new research by ORI colleague Sonja T.P. Spoor, Cara Bohon, a UO doctoral student in clinical psychology, and Dana M. Small of the John B. Pierce Laboratory in New Haven, Conn., and the Yale University School of Medicine.
Dopamine is the primary neurotransmitter in the brain's reward pathways. Food intake is associated with dopamine release, while pleasure from eating correlates with the amount of dopamine release. Previous studies have suggested that obese individuals have fewer dopamine receptors in the brain and have to eat more than lean people to be satisfied.
Using fMRI, Stice's team measured the extent to which the dorsal striatum was activated in response to an individual's receipt of a taste of chocolate milkshake or a tasteless solution.
One study involved 43 female college students ranging in age from 18 to 22 with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 28.6. The second study looked at 33 adolescent girls, ages 14-18, with a mean BMI of 24.3. Most of the participants were tested for the presence of a genetic variation known as the Taq1A1 allele, which is linked to a lower number of dopamine D2 receptors.
Researchers tracked changes in BMI over a year. Results showed that participants with decreased striatal activation in response to receiving milkshake and those with the A1 allele were more likely to gain weight over time.
"I was quite excited by the study itself, as it is the first prospective study to utilize fMRI and genetic data to predict unhealthy weight gain," said Bohon, whose doctoral work is done on both the UO campus and the nearby ORI facility. "The findings suggest that certain biological factors may impact one's risk for weight gain, which is important in order to better understand how we can eventually intervene and prevent obesity."

The BCCI planned to spend a part of its earnings from sponsorships of the cricket matches for the promotion of some non-cricketing sports, the Union Minister said at a function.
"The BCCI would fully fund the training cost of any sportsperson, who is the best under-14 talent in the country and plays a sport that is competed in the Olympic Games," Pawar said, adding the apex cricket body would allot Rs five crore to all the cricket associations affiliated to it for preparing grounds at district levels.
Observers would be appointed to ensure that the funds allotted to the cricket associations were properly utilised, the BCCI President said.

This WEEK in the European Union
By EUobserver
After a week of relatively high activity, the EU changes down a gear, with a holiday in Belgium on Thursday (1 November) and many EU commissioners and MEPs "working from home."
Some EU business will take place, however.

And it is Greece that once again tops the agenda. Eurozone finance ministers will on Wednesday (31 October) have a teleconference on the state of affairs in Athens.
At stake is a €31.5 billion tranche of aid which Greece's creditors have for months delayed giving to the country because they want more domestic savings worth €13.5 billion.
Experts from the European Commission, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund - the troika - have in recent weeks been assessing progress towards the budget-cutting target, which comes on the back of four years of recession and hardship for ordinary Greeks.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton will meet with her US counterpart Hillary Clinton for a joint appearance in Bosnia, Serbia and Kosovo.
Last week, a group of member states said they wanted to revoke visa liberalisation for Western Balkan countries due to a large number of bogus asylum claims. Experts suggest pulling back on the popular measure would spark unnecessary bad feeling in the Balkan countries when the claims could likely be reduced by changing national immigration policy in the member states.
Transport ministers will gather in Luxembourg on Monday to discuss improving the use of the EU's airspace.
The European Commission is pressing to change the rules on allocating landing and take-off slots in a bid to reduce air congestion. Ministers are also to sign an agreement on co-operation with Eurocontrol, the European air traffic control body.
The discussions take place against the backdrop of extreme national reticence in this area. EU transport commissioner Siim Kallas recently threatened to take member states to court for failing to make progress in the last 10 years towards creating a single European airspace.
Meanwhile on Friday, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso will start a tour of South East Asia beginning in Thailand. He will also visit Burma and Indonesia, as well as attending the ninth Asia Europe meeting (ASEM) in Laos at the beginning of the following week.

1 Game Season
You often hear teams talking about playing "1 game seasons" (which means that they are taking the season 1 game at a time) but most people dont really know what goes on during that preparation so I'm going to try to help paint the picture of what a week of preparation is like for your average NFL athlete.
So let's imagine for a second that you are the head coach of a a professional football team and it's week 7. It's Sunday afternoon and your team is in the lockeroom celebrating your victory and you are standing before them about to tell them the schedule for the upcoming week. Take into account that you have 7 days until your next game and one of them has to be an off day. So how do you help the team get the soreness from the previous game out, nurse their wounds, and get in a couple quality practices before the next game in 7 days?
A typical week of preparation involves a day off, one practice in pads, 3 practices without pads and a walkthrough the day before a game. Most teams have team meetings and workouts on Mondays in order to get all of the lactic acid out of the muscles and aid in rehabilitation and recuperation. The next day is usually an off day. The days after that involve practice along with a lot of film study and playbook study. The day before the game is more of a walk through tempo to make sure that everyone is well rested and give them time to prepare for the game in their own way. And then comes Sunday and we all know what that means #gameday

Uniting Work And Play To Promote Innovation
An article in The Atlantic examines America's creativity crisis and the ways 'play' could serve as potential antidote.
In her piece for The Atlantic, Laura Seargeant Richardson, principal designer at frog design, suggests that American students aren't developing the skills needed to thrive in a increasingly complex global economy. While math, science and literacy should remain as the bedrock of any education, the innovation unlocked by play may be our greatest unexploited resource, teaching children the skills required to capitalize on the opportunities presented by global progress. One need only look at the educational systems in rapidly developing countries for evidence that play is no longer something viewed altogether separate from work. In China, the government recently launched a five-year initiative focused on advanced play that is intended to develop its students' problem solving skills and fostering their creativity. Yet despite these hard facts, America still lags behind.
The creative crisis in America, as laid out by Richardson:
According to Newsweek, the United States is in a creativity crisis. TIME reports that today's students are less tolerant of ambiguity and have an aversion to complexity. And The Futurist suggests that the biggest challenge facing our children is their inability to think realistically, creatively, and optimistically about the future. Wake up, America. The real threat to the United States's continued superpower status isn't from an arsenal of weapons—it's from the lack of an arsenal of the mind.
Eighty-five percent of today's companies searching for creative talent can't find it. In a recent IBM survey, 1,500 CEOs identified creativity as the number one leadership competency of the future. And the United Nations just released the Creative Economy Report of 2010, suggesting that creative countries are more economically resilient. As Tim Draper voiced in the documentary 2 Million Minutes, "America is the one country that doesn't seem to recognize that it is in competition for the great minds and capital of the world."
Her prediction for the future:
Someday, rather than measuring memorization as an indicator of progress, we will measure our children's ability to manipulate (deconstruct and hack), morph (think flexibly and be tolerant of change), and move (think "with their hands" and play productively). Standardized aptitude tests will be replaced by our abilities to see (observe and imagine), sense (have empathy and intrinsic motivation), and stretch (think abstractly and systemically). We will advance our abilities to collaborate and create.

The Education that Bangalore provided is not only recognized in India but also all over the country. Bangalore is also known for the job offers it provides in all the courses and the specializations. And Animation courses are one among them. Even arts colleges in Bangalore also provide Fine Arts courses.
The animation courses that animation colleges provide and arts college are well recognized and respected not only in India but also throughout the country irrespective of whether the college is government Animation and Government Arts colleges, Private Animation and Private Arts college ,Internationally recognized or nationally recognized colleges.
Overall the pattern of both the colleges may vary but still the content that is taught to the students is same theoretically and practically. Here the more stress is given on Independent thinking and practical drawings. Here sometimes you have to create cartoon frames which will be then combined to make films.
The study pattern of each college varies few college give importance to basic learning and few to drawings. The basic drawings of human form, Skeletal structures and anatomy study all these are quite important if one is interested in fine arts and so clear understanding of them is also important. This is one of the basic advantages of top arts college's and animation colleges in Bangalore. There are many top animation institutes in Bangalore which provide animation courses and also fine arts colleges in Bangalore which provides good courses in fine arts.
The education in few colleges concentrate here on getting the fundamental ideas rather than the basics involved. Students here are encouraged to bring more ideas to their work and these are corrected to make it fit in the schemes. Students here will get clear cut idea that where can they where do their ideas and drawings lack in. This is where the role of the teacher is very important and he/she will guide the student to get the desired education.
In terms of guiding the student in making a good career in animation the teachers have played an important role and especially Bangalore has gained a lot of respect in that matter. Candidates with Arts and Animation course should get good creative ideas. And also there should be a good interaction between the mind and the hand.
And for that one has to be very strong in basics. Once you perfect in this then the teachers here will help you to bring new ideas and make proper applications out of it. And almost all the teachers in the arts colleges and animation colleges in Bangalore have earned a lot of name and fame out of it. There is a lot for Animation courses and fine arts courses in video games, mobile games and even television news.

Missouri journalism school gets $6.7 million gift
Money will create a documentary journalism program
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Missouri School of Journalism announced a major donation to create a documentary journalism program on Tuesday.
Jonathan Murray, a 1977 alumnus, pledged $6.7 million gift to create one of the largest documentary journalism programs in the nation.
"[The gift] will give us the chance to marry the innovative approaches of documentary storytelling and presentation with the strong tradition of accuracy and fact-finding that has always been a hallmark of the School of Journalism," Dean Mills, dean of the MU School of Journalism, said in a news release Tuesday.
The documentary journalism program will offer bachelors and masters degrees, starting as early as the Fall 2015 semester. Murray's gift will help fund three new faculty positions and bring visiting professionals to the Columbia campus.
"The establishment of this new documentary journalism program is my way of helping to ensure that we've prepared the media and entertainment industry's future documentary film makers to do great work, a goal that I share with MU," Murray said in the news release.
Murray is the Emmy Award-winning executive producer and creator of MTV's The Real World and Project Runway, now on Lifetime network. He founded Bunim/Murray Productions with the late Mary Ellis Bunim.

Computer running slow – How to make Computer Run Faster Fairfax Virginia (VA)
I thought of writing this blog while lately having experienced myself the amount of frustration and disappointment with a slow computer. Life is easy until the day your computer starts to behave devious and operates very slow. This can become frustrating as we all perform our daily tasks being entirely dependent on Computer. Hypothetically or literally, life gets slower if our computer gets slower.
Why does your computer run slow?
It is very logical for a computer to get slow while multitasking for its users. The multitasking includes copying, moving and deleting files from one location to the other. The data on the computer in its due course gets collected with the extra files and occupy valuable disk space. Now, since you have had a limited amount of disk space available on your computer's hard drive, the computer in a way has started to fight back to create more space to perform functions.
The other reason behind the slow speed of any computer can be its processor. Numerous programs running simultaneously on a computer like downloading a file from the internet, while as well trying to perform another task like watching a documentary on the media player or accessing Microsoft Office can also contribute towards slowing down the processor.
Graphic Card (Video Card) can also be a reason behind the reduced performance of your computer. Graphic cards are responsible for managing the visual data. Investing in a graphic card with a reasonable memory while trying to keep the nature of audio/visual task you may expect your computer to perform will increase the amount of visual data that can be stored on the computer.
Corrupt Operating System (OS) is another cause for a slow computer.
Harmful applications like malware and viruses form another common cause for a slow computer.
Hard drive fragmentation if has been caused up to a big extent can also make up to be reason enough for your computer's poor performance.
Random Access Memory (RAM) is a provisional memory needed by the computer to carry out its calculations. In case the memory is not enough, it will affect the computer's speed while trying to run a couple of programs together.
What are the signs and symptoms of a Slow Computer?
Below mentioned are a few symptoms of a slow computer:
- It takes a lot of time while starting up.
- On an attempt to open a new window, it is taking much longer than usual time to open one up. Also, there will be instances when a number of windows will start opening–up on their own.
- Pages hang-up and take a long time to load. The "green bars" that constantly progresses-up to confirm to the user the extent of the page that has been loaded so far gets stuck nearly to the completion and doesn't move further. Of course, the page stops to load!
- The browser will time-out even before a page can load completely.
- Anti-virus installed on the system runs continuously and slows your computer down.
- It literally has become very difficult to access the internet.
- Scrolling down the page is not always possible. It works when it feel like working.
- The applications hang-up.
- The system freezes like it will never be working again.
What are the steps of a Slow Computer?
- You should reboot your computer as the intialmost step when you set yourself up for a "Computer-Fix-up" mission. In order to confirm if the computer is physically working fine, you might would want to Run Scan Disk. It can be a long process and may take upto several hours to finish-up depending on the size of the user's hard drive.
- It will also be useful if you can Run Defrag to help the correct arrangement of data.
- Upgrading RAM is a simpler task aiming towards making your computer more manageable and quicker. In this process sometime, the old memory gets removed and new memory gets placed in the slot.
- Physical problems and unknown damages can also build up to be a potential reason for a slow computer. Also, there can be dust building up preventing the cooling fans from doing their job, resultantly making the computer get hot.
- It is a good practice to periodically clean-up your computer of all those unwanted and unused files that are just sitting inside the system and occupying some valuable space without any purpose.
- It will also be useful to getting rid of malicious programs and applications by incorporating use of security products like SonicWALL.

Murdoch's Daily Takes Digs At Palin
Blog ››› ››› SARAH PAVLUS
Paging Roger Ailes... Boss Rupert Murdoch's newest pet project -- the tablet-only Daily -- seems to have made digs at Fox News contributor Sarah Palin part of its much-speculated-about editorial voice.
A Saturday rundown of potential Republican presidential nominees said of Palin:
The former vice presidential candidate's strengths -- her cult-like appeal to anti-elitist tea-partiers, her fundraising prowess -- are still vastly outweighed by her countless liabilities. For instance, try to pin her down on an issue of any gravity or complexity (the war in Iraq, say, or health care policy) and, political coaching be damned, you'll still get a meandering rant that sounds like it was cobbled together with some kind of Reagan-themed magnetic poetry set.
Days earlier, Daily op-ed columnist Michael Maiello wrote that Palin "really just doesn't have a grasp of recent history," citing her response to President Obama's Sputnik reference in the State of the Union address:
Former half-term Alaska governor and failed vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is deeply concerned that President Obama has learned the wrong lesson from Russia's successful 1957 launch of Sputnik. It wasn't an advance that in turn motivated the United States, she suggested, but a failure: "Yeah, they won, but they also incurred so much debt at the time that it resulted in the inevitable collapse of the Soviet Union." I could suppose she means that Russia flew too high, Icarus-like, and was brought low as its wings were melted by the heat of its outsized ambitions. But I'd be wrong. She really just doesn't have a grasp of recent history.
We're still deciphering what Murdoch meant when he said The Daily's editorial stance would be "very patriotic," though for the moment, it doesn't seem to include knee-jerk support for Palin.
