For some reason, Instapundit is linking to someone who is flat out falsely charging the New York Times with plagarism. According to blogger Dinocrat (Jack Risko),
The New York Times copied an erroneous Wikipedia entry into its news pages today. From the NYT's article on the Marburg Haemorragic Fever outbreak in Angola:
There is no cure or vaccine for the highly contagious virus. Victims suffer a high fever, diarrhea, vomiting and severe bleeding from bodily orifices and usually die within a week.
The Wikipedia entry on the virus:
There is no cure or vaccine for the highly contagious virus. Victims suffer a high fever, diarrhea, vomiting and severe bleeding from bodily orifices and usually die within a week.
Wikipedia mischaracterizes how contagious Marburg is, and the NYT copies the mistake. Consulting more authoritative sources would have avoided the problem. From the CDC:
This is a lie. Dinocrat apparently doesn't have the first clue about using Wikipedia, and Glenn Reynolds is content just to take his word for it. The reality is that Wikipedia plagiarized from the New York Times story, not the other way around.
This is trivial to demonstrate. Here is the Wikipedia page on Marburg on April 8, 2005. It doesn't include the two-sentences that Dinocrat claims the NYT copied from Wikipedia. Those two sentences were added later on April 9, after the New York Times story was published. Here is the page where the edit is made, listed at 15:28 (I have no idea what time zone Wikipedia is using).
The history page for the Marburg virus entry at Wikipedia also confirms that Wikipedia copied from NYT. There's a notation made later in the day (after Dinocrat had made his post) at 23:31,
nyt link – phrase was copied from there, sorry for wrong summary
So the same text appeared at both Wikipedia and the New York Times. Rather than check the history at Wikipedia — where, after all, articles are being constantly updated and edited — Dinocrat chose to simply assume the NYT was copying from Wikipedia and then Glenn Reynolds ran with that ball, spreading the meme among those who read his popular blog.
Sometimes its not just the MSM who come off as rank amateurs who are more interested in playing "gotcha" than taking the time to get their facts straight. If you're going to write stuff like . . .
We knew there was a problem with the NYT story right away, and it took only a few clicks to determine that the lazy use of Wikipedia was the source.
. . . you better make sure you're not a lazy-ass yourself.
Reynolds isn't much better. He warns that,
IT'S USUALLY A MISTAKE to copy things from Wikipedia without looking further into the subject.
So, its a mistake to take Wikipedia at face value, but any old blogger who makes a very serious charge with basically no evidence as to who was plagiarizing from who apparently can be trusted "without looking further into the subject." Bah, nobody apparently gives a damn anymore. If it slams James Watt, Bill Moyers has no problem repeating a bogus quote from an online source without investigating further. If it slams the NYT, Reynolds has no problem spreading false accusations of plagiarism around the Internet (and I thought Glenn was supposed to be the voice of reason about accusations of plagiarism.
Oh, and one other point. Dinocrat is full of crap on the claim that Marburg is not highly contagious simply because it "require[s] direct contact with the bodily fluids or excreta of an infected person, so they are pretty easy to avoid." First, since the virus can live on surfaces of objects for several days, according to the CDC, it might not be so easy to avoid contact with infected fluids. Second, just because you can, in theory, easily avoid exposure to an infectious agent doesn't mean that it isn't highly contagious.
Hepatitis A, for example, is also considered highly contagious, and it is usually contracted by consuming the fecal matter of someone who is already infected (it can also be contracted through sexual activity and IV drug use). I suspect most people would agree that this is something that should be, in theory, pretty easy to avoid. Like Marburg, however, Hepatitis A is generally considered highly contagious because of the very high risk of contracting the disease once a person comes into contact with the infectious agent. Contagion is not just the odds of being exposed to an infectious agent, but also about how likely that infectious agent is likely to cause the disease once exposure does occur.
Marburg and its deadlier cousin Ebola are considered highly contagious because exposure to the infectious agent is believed to produce a very high risk of infection. The only certain way to prevent the disease from spreading is isolating patients and having those who come into contact with patients, such as health care workers, use preventative measures such as face shields, etc., to prevent have any contact with the bodily fluids of those afflicted.
Risko should probably revise his title to say something like, "Note to Rest of the World: Don't Use This Blog As An Authoritative Source."

Tis the Season for Online Tools
By Sarah Lacy
Dave Deasy had spent much of his business life at big tech concerns like Hewlett Packard (HPQ ) and Time Warner's (TWX ) America Online division. So when he set out to build his own e-commerce outfit he had the Web and business savvy -- but brand building was something new. "You always hear it's hard to build a brand and build traffic for a new site, but you don't really realize how hard it is until you're trying to do it from scratch yourself," he says.
Even for a young retailer like Deasy's MyFavoriteCity.com, which sells city-themed gift baskets, the holiday season can make or break the entire year. Revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas can equal that of the previous four months, if done right, Deasy says. If not, you've missed your shot.
This year, more resources than ever are available to Deasy and other Web entrepreneurs. Outfits like Yahoo! (YHOO ), eBay (EBAY ), and Google (GOOG ) are courting small businesses, offering tools and know-how that can help them design a Web site in 30 minutes, process and track orders, control inventories, and advertise to the right audience cheaply.
These companies aren't just being nice -- mom-and-pop shops eager to reach a national audience have brought them big revenues, and they want to keep startups coming back.
Such revenue numbers aren't broken out separately, but eBay has several hundred thousand small outfits selling through its site. Yahoo's small-business division is a profit center for the portal, selling Web hosting, antifraud tools, and the like for recurring monthly subscriptions. And a big force behind the success of Google's "pay-per-click" model is the hundreds of thousands of small businesses who finally have a manageable, cost-effective way to advertise nationally.
Recognizing their own clout, smart small businesses are using it to their advantage. Ray Allen, CEO of Williston (Vt.) seed seller AmericanMeadows.com, knows his Google customer-service rep, Michelle, by name and calls her whenever he has a question. "She's my buddy," he says. "I send her wildflower seeds." Allen is not exactly a marquee customer -- at most he only spends $100,000 per year advertising, a drop in the bucket of Google's $2.6 billion annual revenues -- but his loyalty is what major providers are counting on. They've found that once small businesses find a partner they like, they tend to stick with it.
Such tools -- and attention -- weren't available to Web startups five years ago, and even three years ago, they still weren't very good, Deasy says. But using such resources, he has stayed in the black, generating $500,000 in revenue his first year, and plans to up that to $1 million next year. "I probably still could have made it this far, but it would have been much harder and taken much longer [without online tools]," he says.
Naturally, other small businesses have the same basic tools at their disposal, so a lower barrier of entry has also made for more competition. Standing out requires legwork, and your advantage might just be that you're the retailer willing to do it.
You can explore some free ways to boost holiday sales. Your standing on regular, unpaid search results can be enhanced by making sure key search words are on your site. For example, you should hawk "flowers," not "floral arrangements," says Rich Riley vice-president and general manager of Yahoo Small Business. And it always helps to jazz up your site with some holiday-themed text, featuring gift ideas and free shipping, so that those seeking them don't have to look far. "Do that work for the shoppers," Riley says.
And there's good old fashioned PR, says Elisabeth Osmeloski, forums editor for Search Engine Watch, an online trade publication. You might consider sending a PTA Web site your list of top 10 teacher gifts, with links back to your store. Blogs, too, can provide cheap or free access to a passionate, albeit niche, audience.
That said, by far the biggest tool in the small-business owner's arsenal is paid search advertising, experts say. And while it's all but essential to be on Yahoo or Google or both, it's also a good idea to try some second-tier search sites, especially around the holidays, Osmeloski says. Examples include Shopping.com, Findwhat.com, and Looksmart.com. Here, even popular key words may go for just 5 or 10 cents per click.
Here's how it works: Search engines like Google and Overture, now owned by Yahoo, list natural search results -- but show paid or sponsored results next to them. Outfits bid to be listed when keywords are entered by the searcher, and the highest bidder generally gets the top listing. When users click on that ad, the business is charged whatever amount it agreed to.
Google and Yahoo like to say the process is simple. But doing it right takes time and, sometimes, costly trial and error. With prices of keywords rising, small businesses who aren't actively managing their accounts on a weekly basis likely aren't getting the same value they got a year or so ago.
Allen learned this in a little experiment. He bid on "gardening" on Overture, high enough to be the third ad listed when searchers entered the word. But he got so many clicks at such a high price, he spent $500 in two hours with no purchases to show for it. Since Allen's site only sells seeds, people could have entered "gardening" looking for spades, pots, or lawnmowers. He was paying top dollar for traffic that was way too broad. "It was just mass clicking," he says. "We call it dumb surf -- they just click on whatever comes up."
Terms like "gardening" are in what he calls his "hall of shame." "The proven losers are just as valuable to know as the ones that work," he says. "When it's your money, you learn fast."
Competition for keywords is fiercest around the holidays. Yahoo and Google both offer free tracking tools to show businesses how well each keyword is working, how many click-throughs are buying, and what other keywords may also draw traffic. Any changes can be made instantly, 24 hours a day.
Another tip: Mind your ad copy. With all the focus on ranking high, many small businesses neglect what their ads say. The holidays are the perfect time to rewrite, adding words like "last-minute shopping," "sale," and "free shipping." "You have to know your customers and think like them," says David Fischer, director of AdWords, Google's pay-per-click program.
All of this can take time. Allen has more than 20 keywords on both Yahoo and Google, and many more on smaller sites. And because getting the right word for the right price is such a delicate balance, he's loath to delegate the task to an employee. The constant tweaking may sound like a hassle for an already maxed out business owner during the hectic holiday season. But little things, it seems, have a way of adding up.

Yes, your NP231 is 2.71:1. When I had my NP231, 2nd gear low range was my strong gear. Now with the 3.8, my strong gear has moved to 3rd gear low range. It's great because all I do is shift it into D and let the trans do all the thinking. Before, I had to intentionally pull it down into 2nd.
Mine is in a YJ with a body lift so I can't comment on the fit. But Tab has an Atlas in a TJ and I don't think he had to do anything special.
mine is a 6.0/th350/3.8 atlas/5.38s and 42s.
only thing I would change would be an OD trans. I would like to have another gear when in low range so it would reach higher speeds instead of switching back to hi-range. it still moves out in 3rd/low range, but want another gear.

The transformation of Covent Garden into a luxury hub after Dior, Chanel and Burberry all opened stores in the district prompted landlord Capital & Counties to raise rental targets today for the London destination.
Capco's Covent Garden portfolio jumped 19% in value to £1.16 billion last year as the property firm won planning permission for new schemes and the landlord attracts better-heeled visitors to the area with an influx of luxury retailers.
Capco now believes it can command £75 million a year in rent from Covent Garden by 2016 — up from previous estimates of between £60 million and £65 million — after a year when rental values rose 11% to £58 million and Dior Beauty, Burberry Beauty Box, Moleskine, Aesop and Aveda opened their doors. Chief executive Ian Hawksworth said: "We're creating a super-luxury hub. If you get the right tenant mix, the shoppers come. The nature of the consumer is completely different. Covent Garden now has 44 million visitors and the vast majority are from the ABC1 demographic." The opening of Balthazar and Shake Shack attracted fashionable diners last year.
Expected rents in the area have also been lifted by planning consent for Kings Court, which will create a new passage with retail and restaurant space between Long Acre and King Street, and the refurbishment of Carriage Hall in Floral Street. Capco expects to spend a combined £85 million on the two schemes.
Capco is also masterminding the £8 billion transformation of Earl's Court and is poised to market the first flats from its Lillie Square scheme shortly. The first phase of 235 flats from the 800-apartment block are expected to fetch up to £1.4 million each. Early interest has mostly been from domestic buyers, Hawksworth added.
The value of Capco's Earl's Court interests jumped 25% last year after outline approval for the Sir Terry Farrell-designed masterplan, pushing the value of the property firm's overall portfolio up 20% to £2.3 billion. The key property benchmark of net asset value per share was up 22% to 249p.
Peel Hunt analyst James Carswell said the firm had had "another very busy and very successful year". He added: "We see significant upside to the NAV with further large surpluses likely as Covent Garden's estimated rental values continue to climb and residential sales commence at Lillie Square."Reuse content

Saigon Wings
The best window onto a nation's cuisine is its food markets. The moment Steven Raichlen arrived in Saigon, he rushed to the colossal Ben Thàn Market, where you can buy just about anything: eel, snake, all manner of innards, even grasshoppers. When you tire of shopping, an army of food vendors stands ready to ply you with Vietnamese soups, stews and barbecue.
Coconut shell charcoal is the preferred cooking fuel (probably because it's so cheap) and grilled fare ranges from commonplace beef and chicken to whole eggs and dried bananas. This is one vendor's version of chicken wings; it's as easy to make as it is flavorful. To increase the exposed surface area of meat, the wings are spread open and skewered.
To be authentic, you'll need lemongrass and fish sauce for the marinade, both of which are available at Asian markets and specialty shops. In a pinch, substitute 4 strips of lemon zest for the lemongrass and soy sauce for the fish sauce.
Slideshow: Amazing Chicken Recipes
- Servings: 4 first-course servings
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 medium shallots, chopped
- 2 stalks lemongrass, tender white inner bubls only, chopped
- One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/3 cup Asian fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for basting
- 12 whole chicken wings (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
How to make this recipe
In a mortar, pound the garlic, shallots, lemongrass, ginger and sugar to a paste. Stir in the fish sauce, lemon juice and the 1 tablespoon of oil. Alternatively, puree the ingredients in a mini-processor. Transfer to a large bowl.
Make 3 deep slashes in the meat part of each chicken wing. Add the wings to the bowl, stir to coat and marinate for 4 hours at room temperature, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
Light a grill. Thread the chicken wings on bamboo skewers, splaying each wing as widely as possible; reserve the marinade. Brush the wings with vegetable oil and grill over a medium-hot fire for 6 to 8 minutes per side, basting them once or twice with the reserved marinade, until crusty. Do not baste during the last 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken wings to a platter and sprinkle with the peanuts. Serve at once.
Suggested Pairing
The floral, heavy-hop bouquet and moderate maltiness of a dry American pale ale will enhance the wings' sweet-salty, aromatic flavors. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, from California, is the best choice.

A product of New Rochelle, N.Y., Layne was chosen by the U.S. coaching staff as a member of the 4x100-meter relay pool.?? If selected to run, the UT speedster would compete on Friday in the semifinals at 12:55 p.m. Eastern Time, and, should the Americans qualify, in the final on Saturday at 1:15 p.m. ET.?? The competition will be held at Estadio Universitario at Universidad Aut??noma del Estado de M??xico in Toluca.
Layne is treading in the footsteps of UT teammate Cleo Tyson, who competed for the U.S. at the 2006 NACAC U-23 meet in Santo Domingo, D.R. Tyson not only helped the American 4x1 to gold, she also took first in the 100m dash. Layne will be running only on the 4x1 in Toluca.

College Basketball: SNHU, Spirou in familiar territory
Back in the day, Southern New Hampshire University played in a conference final so many times that it nearly became part of the permanent schedule. Now a seasoned and scheming coach Stan Spirou is up to his old tricks.
The Penmen (18-10), coming off an 81-62 triumph against Saint Rose on Wednesday, play in the Northeast-10 Conference final at Franklin Pierce University (21-7) on Saturday at 1 p.m. The winner earns an automatic bid to the NCAA Division II tournament.
Spirou's teams have reached the conference finals 10 times in his 28-year career.
In the 1990s, then-New Hampshire College and Franklin Pierce met four times in the New England Collegiate Conference tournament championship. The Penmen won all four times and reached new heights in 1993, advancing to the NCAA Tournament Final Four. SNHU advanced to the national semifinals again in 1994 and went on to make three consecutive appearances in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.
Familiar turf, indeed. At least for Spirou.
"Some of our key guys don't have experience playing in big games at this level, but you hope they don't know any better, and it's just another game because they've played in winning environments throughout their careers," Spirou said. "Our freshmen and sophomores haven't shown any panic in the past four or five games, and that's a pretty good sign. That has nothing to do with coaching. It's the makeup of the kids and how they've developed more maturity deeper into the season."
In the NE-10 semifinals, freshman Rodney Sanders poured in a career-high 22 points to lead SNHU against St. Rose. Sanders leads the Penmen in scoring at 12.0 points per game, followed by sophomore B.J. Cardarelli (11.6 ppg) and Manchester Central product Mike Stys (11.6 ppg).
Franklin Pierce, led by senior Eric Jean-Guillaume, earned homecourt advantage in the NE-10 final by defeating St. Anselm College, 71-68, at Stoutenburgh Gym in Goffstown on Wednesday.
Last week, Jean-Guillaume was named Northeast-10 Conference Player of the Year for the second consecutive year.
"We don't have an all-league player or All-American on our roster," Spirou said. "The only way we have a chance is if six or seven guys play a solid 40 minutes of basketball."
St. Anselm College (23-5), ranked ninth in the nation, is expected to receive an at-large NCAA Tournament bid when the pairings are announced March 16.

Not much fragrance
By savvy girl
from Vancouver Island. BC
The one thing that is great about this, is that it foams beautifully. It is slow to put in tub with the reasons previously stated, they should have given us a pump. These Perlier products used to be so fabulous. I don't know what happened, but they've cut way back on the fragrances. My absolute favorite was White Almond and the last time I found it here, I was excited to get it, but I was really disappointed with it as I could hardly smell that captivating aroma.

good product - annoying bottle no pump
By Margit
from Mississauga
I have been using Perlier bath soaps, hand soaps, hand crème, body butters and creams, talk etc, for 7 years. Love to take baths, not showers, but this is the first Perlier product that I find annoying. This one liter bottle which I have to unscrew every morning just to put a few drops into my tub is a nuisance. They should have included a pump. I really resent having to waste precious morning time on unscrewing the bottle, filling a little into the cap (because the formula is thick, that is a slow process)and putting it under the running tap. Then I have to return the cap-there are a lot of turns or the cap falls off when you pick it up the next day!

Other Voices: Jeri Lou McKinney Brings Knowledge Strategy to the Corporate Community
Guy St. Clair
This post might to be considered (by some) as blatant promotion. Yep! They're right about that. And Mr. Guy is making no apologies. Over the last couple of years I've become aware of how a colleague named Jeri Lou McKinney – in Dallas TX – is making a difference in getting the KM, knowledge services, knowledge strategy message across to the corporate community. McKinney is the founder and CEO of the Corporate e-Discovery Forum – Knowledge Strategy (CEDF-KS), which the non-profit organization started in 2006.

Hello again!
i just got a used 2006 jetta 2.5 and im so frustrated with this car, one thing to another!, recently i bought a brand new battery and replace the door latch and lock, after this i can close my car with the key (drivers door) but not with the keyfob, also i have a few problems more with this door:
1. the dash does not notice that the door is open (does not show any light)
2. the door can not be close by the keyfob
3. the door can not be lock using the lock/unlock switch (this works fine for every other door)
So after all this, an electrician check every fuse and everything was alright, but i havent check all the wires in this door, so im thinking that might be the problem in the door that is keeping draining my battery or the alarm??
Does anybody knows where is the alarm relay? or what are your toughs?
i think you have a bad door Latch itself...the electronics on them are notorious for going bad...
2011 - CC Lux Limited - Black Magic Pearl..stock..and staying that way...UMADLOL
...stickers add 10hp..badges add 13hp
but it has a new door latch, because the last one wasn't working.. ??
The rubber boot that near the door hinge.... pull it back and check the wires inside. They probably are cracking or broken. You need to replace the WHOLE door harness with an updated one with longer wires. VW will have the correct part and it's not that expensive. DO NOT try and repair this yourself as you will just cause more problems.

Fantasy Football Morning Update: Backfield issues for Pack, Cards
Biggest takeaway from Monday's Texans-Jets game: Do you remember the King Kong movies, when he was at the top of the Empire State Building, swatting down all the planes? Texans DE J.J. Watt reminds me of Kong. It seemed like he batted down every pass that Mark Sanchez threw. Watt is pretty dominant at all the other defensive line stuff, too.
On to the news:
- Packers RB Cedric Benson will reportedly miss 6-8 weeks, and possibly the rest of the season, with a foot injury. Alex Green ran nine times for 55 yards (including a 41-yarder) in Benson's place against the Colts, and appears to be the smart fantasy free-agent target ahead of James Starks and Brandon Saine. However, head coach Mike McCarthy spoke Monday of "protection opportunities" that Green needs to work on. If he can't pass block, he won't stay on the field. Starks has had some blocking issues as well, and there were some rumors that he might get waived during this year's training camp, so don't expect miracles from him, either.
- Cardinals RB Ryan Williams will have season-ending shoulder surgery. Arizona Republic beat writer Kent Somers notes that tiny LaRod Stephens-Howling is "not built to carry the ball 15 times a game" and "can't imagine" that he would get a full workload. William Powell and Alfonso Smith are the other candidates, and while I'd pick Powell over Smith, this looks like a committee situation for a team that can't run.
- Remember your byes: The Panthers, Bears, Jaguars and Saints are off this week. What will you do without Blaine Gabbert?
- With the Saints off this week, you don't have to worry about Jimmy Graham's ankle injury right now. Hopefully, it's not serious.
- Also, the Thursday game is Steelers-Titans. Do you think that RB Rashard Mendenhall, who just played his first game after a lengthy rehab, will get a full workload on three days' rest? Me neither, though you'll still be able to start him. Safety Troy Polamalu (calf) will miss the game.
- Redskins QB Robert Griffin III needs to pass some concussion tests before being cleared to play in Week 6. Things sound positive right now, but we might not know anything for sure until late this week. Have a backup plan ready if you own RGIII.
- We'll probably have to wait until Wednesday for any news on Packers WR Greg Jennings, who missed Week 5 with a groin injury. The plan seemed to be for a one-week shutdown.
- The same goes for Giants WR Hakeem Nicks, who has missed the last three games with knee and foot injuries. Head coach Tom Coughlin didn't offer any hints about Nicks on Monday.
- Back to the Jets: WR Jeremy Kerley had five receptions for 94 yards on nine targets, and appears to be the team's primary receiving target (at least until TE Dustin Keller comes back, anyway). Kerley is still available in 96.4 percent of FOXSports.com leagues.
- The Titans will again start Matt Hasselbeck in place of the injured Jake Locker (shoulder) at quarterback. Ugh.
- It sounds like the Chiefs are ready to start QB Brady Quinn ahead of Matt Cassel (concussion) against the Bucs this week. Try to contain your excitement.
- Texans LB Brian Cushing appeared to suffer a serious knee injury on Monday night. We should know today if he'll be back this season.
- Vikings RB Adrian Peterson sprained his ankle on Sunday, but the team isn't worried about his status for Week 6.
- I'd like to hear more about Alex Smith's injured finger, since it's on his throwing hand and all.
- Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey seems to be tracking toward a Sunday return from his concussion and neck injury.
- Dear Stevan Ridley owners: I don't want to alarm you, but his fumbling issues might become a problem.
- Bears WR Alshon Jeffery is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a broken right hand.
- Joel Beall will be in the FOXSports.com fantasy chat roomtoday at 3 p.m. ET, and I'll make my weekly appearance on Thursday at 2 p.m. I'm pretty sure that Joel will cry if he doesn't get a lot of questions.
See you back here Friday morning.

For the second time this month, President Obama will enlist the previous Democratic occupant of the White House in his push to publicize the benefits of his landmark health care law.
On Tuesday in New York, Obama will attend the Clinton Global Initiative hosted by former president Bill Clinton, where the two will engage in "a conversation about the benefits and future of health care reform in America and access to quality health care around the globe," White House press secretary Jay Carney said.
Obama will be in New York on Monday and Tuesday for the U.N. General Assembly meetings, and he'll stop by the Clinton event as he has done in past years. Their discussion will come a week before the Oct. 1 opening of the enrollment period for uninsured Americans to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
The Obama administration is eager to get millions of people to sign up for the president's signature legislative achievement and defy Republican predictions that the new law will lead to chaos and higher insurance prices. Some GOP members of Congress are pushing to defund so-called Obamacare during the fight over the budget and debt ceiling.
Clinton gave a speech on the new law in Arkansas earlier this month. The enrollment period for the mandatory insurance lasts through March.
Carney said that the dialogue next week "is part of a ramped-up public education effort to reach Americans."

My main concern with using a plasma display essentially as a PC monitor, is the risk of 'screen burn' from a static image. Most manufacturers don't cover such damage under their warranties...
In this day and age, you should mention the 750 watts of power consumption vs 290 for the 52" LCD LE52A756.
Apart from needing deep pockets to buy it and a power-station to run it sounds perfect for today's ecologically minded viewer.
I think screen burn is much less a problem now than it used to be, I've been using a 50" 1080P Samsung plasma as a TV and PC monitor without an issue for almost a year now. You would save on your heating bill as quite a few of those 750 watts will be converted to heat.
I can't wait until someone does a review of Samsung LE52A756. Only then we can really evaluate the goodness of this plasma vs LCD technology.
It would be really useful if we could have a rated power consumption measurement in the review.
One measurement in torch mode straight out of the box and then another measurement after calibration for the review.
@Frederic73: according to the Dutch website of Samsung the power consumption of the PS50A756 is 550 Watt. You should also bear in mind that this is the maximum power consumed since it's a plasma TV.
OTOH, the power consumption of the PS50A750 on the British website of Samsung is 750 Watt! Now what's correct?!
Where can i purchase this TV? i cant seem to find anyone selling it?
can anyone recommend any others?, i want a top 50" but dont want to spend over
Anyone who purchased this can vouch for the tv? is it as good or better then the review? i cant w8 to purchase one of these babies but im having doubts :|
I see reviews for the 5 series and 7 series plasma. Anyone have a view on the 6 series which is going for good prices at the moment - around on line. Is it closer to what looks like a pretty strong set in the 756 or closer to the underwhelming 556.
I live in the UK and have read reviews of this TV,BUT I cannot find a single place which stocks it.I have spoken to Samsung,who are also (believe it or not) unable to confirm to whom they ship them too.Samsung head office,is staffed (it appears anyway) by telephonists and ghosts,as no-one rings you back to confirm where it can be bought from.
So here I am,on a website asking for some help from anyone with info as to where i can buy this TV from.............all help appreciated.

Big backside hits, massive boosts, flying down the line, or high wind freestyle, the Pocket can handle just about any conditions mother nature can stir up, especially when they're not the most ideal. Early planing gets you up and going through the break with ease, allowing you to pick the ramp of your choosing and blast into the air with solid pop, while the compact outline delivers excellent control in the jumps. On the wave, the refined rocker line and modified rail shapes ensure smooth bottom turns with excellent drive, projecting you back up to the lip with speed even when the conditions aren't the most epic, making you feel like a rockstar. The thruster setup offers a surfy feel with slashy turns, whereas the single fin offers unmatched acceleration and control for bump and jump sessions.
We kept this range the same as 2012 as we have set ourselves apart with an awesome rocker line and the rail shapes are right on the money. We have speed and control with these boards. The rocker line is clean and proven. Why change a great board?" The tri fin set up works great for all conditions, but of course you can still use them with a single fin when you need more power to plane.
The complete range remains unchanged except for the graphics. The rocker line and rails for a real wave board feel, regardless of front- or back-foot Wave Riding. A tri fin fin set up for optimum all-round use. Swallow tail for more speed in slower waves. The bottom shape with double concave and slight V in the tail makes the boards very quick.The Pocket Waves also the right board for stormy flat water days and being used as a single fin.
When I have to compete in crappy onshore conditions, I don't even question what board to take. The Pocket gets me moving and still lets me rip the wave apart. I can ride this board slightly smaller because of the wide tail and throw the board anywhere I want!
Optimized for "gusty real world conditions" the Pocket does it all! A no brainer wave board

Supplemental Maintenance
Thought some on here might be interested in this information.
Took the time yesterday to do some maintenance that I thought was appropriate, no matter what the official BMW stance is on the subject (3 year fuel filter change interval and lifetime transmission fluid . . . Both seem too long to me).
First attached pic is of the car up on the lift as the new fuel filter is beling flushed. Was curious if there was evidence of water trapped by the filter. Good news is no free water found. This could mean a couple things: 1) The truck stop used for >95% of fuel must do a good job of keeping free water from their tanks. 2) The fuel filter doesnt do diddly for stopping free water. Hope #1 is the reason.
Second picture is a comparison of the old transmission fluid to the new fluid (ZF Lifeguard 6 as recommended by the transmission manufacturer). Was a bit surprised at the color and smell of the old fluid at <30,000 mls. Glad it was decided to do a fluid change this early. Considering not all the fluid gets refreshed with the approach used think a 2-3yr change interval will continue to be used on this vehicle.

I owe my friend Donna Ditota a public apology.
Donna is a sportswriter for the Syracuse Post-Standard, and when I ran into her at Big East Media Day she predicted that

Three months later,
"To me they're the best team in the country because they shoot 50% from the field (actually 53%) and they only give up 39% on defense," Mick Cronin said. "They do a great job in their zone. When you do penetrate their zone they block shots. That's the backbreaker. You gotta make sure you finish with strength around the rim against them because you can't get the ball down to the two-foot marker and come away empty. You have to score or get fouled. Their passing is excellent. They get a ton of layups because of their transition, their size, and their passing."
In the LeMoyne loss,
"They play hard," said UC junior Larry Davis. "Their 2-3 zone is no joke. They rebound the ball, they can get the ball in the paint, they've got a couple of guys that can really score . . . they're really tough."
"You're going to have to shoot the ball, the question is, 'Are you shooting open shots?' Coach Cronin said. "One thing you have to be very careful of against

Jaipur: The brush Salman Khan has with the Bishnoi community is far from being over. The people in the Pink City of India have staged violent demonstrations against Salman before, and now they have done it again.
Jaipur recently held the Annual Marathon Race, 2011, and an of course Salman Khan has attended. The Bishnoi community has a long time quarrel with the actor, ever since the black buck case. The moment that the news came out that Salman will be in Jaipur to attend the race, the community started protesting.
Black flags were raised against the actor by the Bishnoi activists, who showed their angst with the actor daring to come to Jaipur, for any reason. The activists also raised slogans against the actor and against Bina Kak, the ruling tourism minister. Kak was held responsible for allowing an even supporting Salman, in spite of the actor being an endangered animal killer.
The minister's resignation has been demanded, but there are too poor chances that will happen. Eleven activists are now held in custody.

Some Common Signs of Cancer in Dogs
Written by Dr. Andrew Jones
I strongly urge you to do a basic
At Home Pet health exam on your pets
once a week.
It's ALWAYS better to catch it early.
Here are some of the more common signs:
1. Abnormal FIRM swellings that stay and continue to grow
2. Sores that DO NOT heal- they continue to weep
3. Distended abdomen ( stomach)
4. Unexplained We*ight Loss
5. Loss of Appetite
6. Foul smelling oral odor/difficulty swallowing/drooling
7. Enlarged Lympg nodes
8. Chronic vomiting/diarrhea
9. Unexplained discharge/bleeding
10. Chronic cough/respiratory difficulty
11. Reluctance to exercise/weakness
12. Chronic progressive lameness
13. Difficulty urinating/defecating
If you dog or cat has any of these signs,
do your own exam, and then have your Veterinarian
perform a full physical exam.
Then IF your pet is to be diagnosed with cancer,
ensure that you are aware of ALL of the alternatives-
NOT just the conventional options.
Here are a few of the alternatives that I discuss in
my book- there are many more being added to my
new soon to be released Complete Home Study Course 2.0
FLAVONOIDS. These are compounds in a class of their own.
They compose the thousands of structures that give the bright
color to fruits and vegetables. They are antioxidants as well
as having anti-cancer properties. These include flavones,(apigenin),
isoflavones (genistein), and flavanols (quercetin). Purchase a
mixed bioflavonoid product that contains polyphenols, particularly
EGCG (epigallocatechin-gallate), which is the specific flavonoid
isolated from green tea. The dose for a 10 lb dog or cat is 250 mg daily.
FATTY ACIDS ARE ESSENTIAL. Omega 3 fatty acids are great anti-inflammatories
and have been shown to prevent the spread of cancer. Flax is the best
source for dogs: the dose is 1 tsp per cup of dog food. For cats, the
liquid form is the only option, and they should receive 500 mg twice
daily of salmon oil or a supplement such as EFA Caps purchased from
your veterinarian.
VITAMIN A. This has cytotoxic effects (cancer-cell killing) at high
doses. The dose is 400 IU per lb of body weight daily.
ARGININE. This amino acid appears to enhance immune function and may
inhibit the growth of some tumors. The dose is 250 mg per 10 lbs of
body weight daily.
GLUTAMINE. This amino acid may be helpful in inhibiting tumor growth
as well as in dealing with some of the adverse effects of chemotherapy.
The dose is 500 mg per 10 lbs of body weight daily.
COLLOIDAL SILVER. I have had many a client tell me about successfully
using Colloidal Silver to heal their pets wounds, along with cancers.
It is a liquid suspension of minute particles of silver. You can get
it at natural health food stores and pharmacies. The dose is ½ teaspoon
per 10 lbs twice daily.
P.S. You really never know WHAT will happen- so enjoy your
pet now, and appreciate them today.

Re: Some Common Signs of Cancer in Dogs
Very good post Heather - I did find that my last dog who died with lymphoma had an excessive thirst and urination as well as loss of weight then going off their usual food. This doesn't always indicate cancer because Arbie has had it happen a few times but it does indicate the body isn't functioning properly and needs further investigation.

I'm back! As you may know, I've spent the last three days in Springfield, Missouri, having a blast at Skepticon IV. The convention was a weekend of great talks that ran the gamut: atheism, skepticism, sex, politics, feminism, math, science. There was no overarching theme at all, and I think it was better for being eclectic: since there was very little overlap, each and every talk offered something new and different. Best of all, I got to get together with some of my atheist blogger friends whom … [Read more...]

Green Bay Opens 5-Game Homestand Tuesday Night
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Green Bay (6-3) begins a season-long five-game homestand with three non-conference contests. The first test for the Phoenix, winners of three of its past four games, is Tennessee Tech (6-6) from the Ohio Valley Conference, who visits the Resch Center on Tuesday at 7 p.m. for a non-conference men's basketball game.
Posting an 89-85 come-from-behind win over South Dakota on Saturday, Green Bay split a pair of road contests last week. Against the Coyotes, the Phoenix rallied from a 14-point deficit thanks to a balanced scoring effort. Junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) led the squad with 23 points, and Alec Brown (17), Greg Mays (15), Jordan Fouse (11) and Carrington Love (11) gave Green Bay five players in double figures.
The Golden Eagles also enter Tuesday's game after recording a road win. On Sunday, Tennessee Tech defeated Lamar 79-74 with leading scorers Ty Allen (12.2 ppg) and Dennis Ogbe (9.9) combining for 32 points. The rebounding battle could be key as both Green Bay and Tennessee Tech have positive rebounding margins this season.
Tuesday's contest will be televised by Time Warner Cable SportsChannel with Chris Roth (play-by-play) and Phoenix Hall of Famer Jeff Nordgaard (analyst) on the call. Fans can also watch the game on the Horizon League Network and ESPN3.
G – #24 Keifer Sykes, G, Jr., 5-11, 175
G – #35 Vincent Garrett, G, Sr., 6-6, 220
F – #4 Jordan Fouse, F, So., 6-7, 225
F – #15 Greg Mays, F, Jr., 6-9, 222
C – #21 Alec Brown, C, Sr., 7-1, 235
NATIONAL RANKINGS: Green Bay has three different players in the top-20 nationally in a statistical ranking. Sophomore Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) is tied for fifth in the country in steals per game (3.22), senior Alec Brown ranks tied for 18th in blocks per game (3.2), and junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) is tied for 19th in points per game (21.6).
SUCCESS AT SEVENTY: Through nine games, Green Bay has a 5-0 record when scoring 70 or more points, including three wins totaling 89-plus. The Phoenix is 1-3 in the four games this season when it failed to reach 70 points.
BUILDING BLOCKS: With an average of 7.9 blocks per game, the Phoenix is tied for second nationally. Green Bay has blocked 71 shots through nine games and is well on its way to breaking the single-season program record for the fourth-straight season. Alec Brown (29), Jordan Fouse (19) and Greg Mays (10) are all on pace to block more shots this season than last season. Of the program's top-10 all-time single-game team block efforts, five have been recorded in 2013-14.
TOUGH LOSSES: Green Bay has dropped three games this season, losing to Wisconsin (12-0), Harvard (9-1) and Eastern Michigan (6-3) teams that have combined for a 27-4 record to date. The Phoenix held second-half leads against both Wisconsin and Harvard.
QUICK GRAND: Sykes was honored prior to last Saturday's game for becoming the 26th member of the program's 1,000-point club in the team's 67-59 win over Tulsa on Nov. 30. Doing so in his 70th career game, Sykes became the third-fastest player in the program's Division I history to join the 1,000-point club (Tony Bennett-56; Richard Sims-68).
STREAKING SOPHOMORE: Fouse opened the 2013-14 season by extending two impressive statistical streaks. The reigning rebounding champion in the Horizon League has grabbed five or more boards in 28 consecutive games. At Eastern Michigan, the 6-foot-7 sophomore wing had a streak of blocking a shot end at 30.
RECORD HEIST: Against Virginia, Fouse tallied eight steals to break the single-game program record. The eighth steal was possibly the play of the game. With Green Bay leading 71-69, Fouse stole a pass from Malcolm Brogdon and converted a layup for a four-point lead.
All tickets for the 2013-14 men's basketball season are on sale now. For more information about season tickets, ticket packages and more, please visit the ticketing page at GreenBayPhoenix.com.For the latest and most up-to-date information on Green Bay Athletics, please visit GreenBayPhoenix.com.

If you have vehicles in your name, you have to file an owner's policy SR-22 which covers both your driver's license and your vehicles. You are usually required to carry an Sr-22 for a minimum of 3 years. n some cause, it may be longer. In the case of a DUI, if you get a restricted license, you have to file an sr-22 for the length of your restricted license plus 3 years after you get your full driving privileges back. Hope this helps
What is ACORD Forms insurance process?
publication and maintenance of a huge library of standardized forms for the insurance industry.
What is a proposed form of order?
A proposed order is a preliminary form of a written order that one lawyer prepares to put in writing an oral decision by a judge. If there is a motion, say for an order …to compel the other party to appear at a deposition, the court makes a ruling from the bench verbally. Normally, whichever lawyer won on the motion prepares the proposed form of order. It is always possible that the lawyer preparing the order makes some mistake in wording or leavies something out that should be in, or adds something that shouldn't be in. In order to avoid this, most courts require the lawyer preparing the order to send a proposed form of order to the court and the other lawyer for review. Tho other lawyer has a right to object to the wordin. If no objection is made or if one is made and dealt with by the court, the proposed form of order is either signed as is or modified to become the final form of the order.

The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage. By
Karim Rahemtulla , Investment U Research NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Having recently made trips to places like Egypt, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand, I have received a lot of questions about the best way to invest in these countries. ETFs are obviously one successful and popular way to make money off the growth of these markets. But I wanted to give you a few other ideas that can help you capitalize abroad. Without a doubt, investing locally is the best strategy. This allows direct participation in companies that suit your investment goals and profiles. But, it's just not going to be that easy for Americans to call up a broker and ask to buy shares of Telecom Cambodia, when it lists in Phnom Penh later this year. There are a couple of solutions. The first is to open an account in Asia, Singapore, or Hong Kong with a local broker. Similar to platforms in the United States, foreign platforms allow you to buy and sell shares of companies that trade on regional exchanges in their respective currencies. This would be the ideal strategy. But, in my experience, I have noticed that Americans tend to prefer keeping their money here and trading through U.S.-based brokers. Bluntly speaking, investors here are for the most part scared to transfer money to some broker 10,000 miles away. Too bad. To counter this phobia, three investment vehicles have been created in the past 30 years. The first and earliest creation was open-end mutual funds. These funds are essentially like any other mutual fund. They contain investments hand picked by fund managers who you then pay via fees to run your money along with monies of other shareholders. Prices of the funds are posted after the close of the market. The second vehicle was the closed-end fund. These funds are similar to mutual funds in that they contain a basket of investments. How they differ is that these funds issue shares, which the investor buys on the open market, during market hours. You can buy or sell the shares at any time during the day.

Miike Snow, Happy to You
Let's cut to the chase, shall we? The new Miike Snow album is great. You'll love it. It's nearly impossible not to. Having said that, I recognize a few cynics out there will dislike it just to prove it can be done. But for the rest of us, it's sunshine for your ears; it's an audible spring in your step.
Despite touting one man's name, Miike Snow is actually a trio comprised of two Swedes (Christian Karlsson and Pontus Winnberg) and an American (Andrew Wyatt). Though this is only their second alum as a trio, all three are professionals and familiar with the intricate world of the recording studio. The three met originally in 2000 while working on another artist's album in Stockholm, and out of that meeting and the following friendship, Miike Snow was spawned in 2007. Two years later, they released their first album. The self-titled debut rose to wild success, with catchy tunes like "Animal," "Black & Blue" and "Silvia" even now still finding their way to airwaves around the world. The new album, Happy to You, sounds like it will receive equal, if more expected, attention.
On first listen, there is nothing drastically different between Happy and Miike Snow. There doesn't seem to be another "Animal"-sized hit hiding on the album—but even better, each track holds its own and is as likely to be found in a club as on a med student's iPod. Where Miike Snow had a few standout tracks with the rest being nice but comparative valleys, Happy to You is solid throughout. The beats are fresh, the rhythms moving but not anxious. The album as a whole has a very nice flow. Beginning with "Enter the Jokers Lair"—which sounds reminiscent of a mid-90s Super Nintendo game—to the heartbreaking and slower "God Help This Divorce," down through "Paddling Out," the album's first video, and finishing with "No Starry World," each track creates its own world different from those of the surrounding tracks.
Even though this is only their second album, its quality suggests a band that's been together for years. That might be because the three have put several years into the music industry with other bands—Wyatt has been part of Black Beetle, The A.M., Fires of Rome and Daniel Merriweather, while Karlsson and Winnberg both are active in the DJ and punk scene and have worked with Kylie Minogue, Madonna and Britney Spears (for whose song "Toxic," they won a Grammy for Best Dance Recording). Regardless of their previous involvement in the industry, there's something to be said for time spent together on the road touring an album and the general effect of time on one's own maturity. This maturity shines through Happy to You in its consistency of quality, indicating patience and caring hands on the parts of all three members and their guests. Lykke Li lends her vocals to "Black Tin Box," and several others offer their string and brass instruments on "Devil's Work," "The Wave" and "Bavarian #1 (Say You Will)." How many other dance/electro-pop albums do you know that have trombone, French horn, flugel horn, field drums and string quartets?
This idea of being their own creation, different from what else is happening around the music world but somehow having a place everywhere, drives much of what they do. "I don't think Miike Snow functions inside of a genre," states Andrew Wyatt on the band's Facebook page. Pontus Winnberg supports that, saying, "We don't really wanna tell people what the titles are about, or the lyrics, or what our thoughts are about. We'd prefer them to put them in their head and their lives and make their own interpretation."
Miike Snow is about serious fun and play, and those concepts ooze throughout the whole of Happy to You, whose title comes from a misspelled postcard in their recording studio. The songs and beats keep you moving, the booklet contains absurd, though dark, stills from the videos, and even the band's signature Jackalope is a little bit of fun. The self-described "Three-Headed Band With the One Man Name" is back with a rightly anticipated and worthwhile follow-up, and it shows a band with an exciting willingness to get even better with every release.

What do you consider to be "inexpensive" and does anyone even make a threaded barrel for a PT140?
I am interested in looking at some inexpensive yet effective options. I am not looking for a silencer because i think i am James Bond. I am interested in one so that when I shoot at the cabin or at the range it does not harm my hearing. I dont want to have to wear ear plugs outdoors. Anyone using one they could recommend?
IMO there is nothing inexpensive about suppressors, especially in 40 S&W. $475 -$750 + $200 tax + local tax + shipping + whatever $$ the FFL adds on.good questiondoes anyone even make a threaded barrel for a PT140?
I don't know anyone who makes an extended, threaded barrel for that pistol. A custom barrel could be made, I'm sure, but not at a reasonable cost.
The least expensive option if you want a suppressed firearm from scratch would probably be a Walther P22/Outback II combo; with tax and fees it'll be in the neighborhood of $1000.
Consider a Ruger 10/22. Thread the barrel $85; suppressor around $300; tax and fees $200-300 depending on where you live.
.22LR is the quietest there is; the suppressed 9mm AR-15 upper made by SRT is a close second.
You -did- check to see if suppressors are permitted where you live, right?
I live in the middle of nowhere in the heart of the mid west...everything is permitted here. We are what they meant by gun toting rednecks that cling to their bibles. Only thing that would happen here if a cop saw it is that he would ask me to hold his beer while he gave it a whirl!
Also, you ask if they even make a threaded barrel for the PT140....well, that is why I am asking you! I have no idea!

Completely agree 100% with every statement you just made! Got to love the hard working staff that keeps our City so crime free! CA's office should understand that the citizens of Hopewell aren't going to trust a man that is a creep and hits on anything doesn't have man parts between their legs. He is a joke along with the rest of the staff. His term can't end soon enough! I can pretty much guarantee he is the one that started this whole debacle because he didn't get his way.Ha. Hopewell fail.
I just did some number crunching... without this revenue, the average Hopewell resident will have to pay an additional $54.87 in real estate taxes.
I would show my math, but most of you wouldn't understand it.
Tough pill to swallow. But hey, Hopewell needs an awesome CA staff to prosecute all those criminals and keep them off the street. That's what makes Hopewell the lovely place it is today. Right?

HOPEWELL, VA - Are speeding tickets being written as matter of public safety or to generate revenue? It's a question being put to deputies in Hopewell.

guess this is horrible too that the Sheriff's got this guy off the road! hmmmm
#44 Apr 11, 2012
Amazing that Newman has been in office for 2 years, fully aware of what was going on on 295 but, after he doesn't get HIS share of the money HE thinks he deserves, he causes this big stink. Sounds mature. Sounds like he really is focused on justice.
United States
#45 Apr 12, 2012
When he was young he was probably the kid that took his ball and went home when he was losing. Why give the money to the state?? Hopewell needs it. Yes its about money,every county or city on an interstate does the same thing. Drive on 85 from Petersburg to nc line and see how many different counties are taking radar. Sooooooooo, in your best Seinfeld voice.........."NEWMAN "
#46 Jul 23, 2012
There is away to fix the problem with the million / 2 million dollar mile speed trap HEY GENIOUS DONE SPEED IF U DONT WANT A TICKET cux if u speed throw out town ull get a ticket and this is why BECAUSE YOUR BREAKING THE LAW good greef people cry about anything cry about giving speeding tickets to speeders so I guess the next step is to let all the robbers walk too give me a break breaking the law is breaking the law
#47 Jul 24, 2012
Hopewell education?
#48 Jul 24, 2012
There is a solution for the speed trap. Attention fellow commenters: Do not speed if you do not want a ticket. Speeding everywhere increases your chances of getting a ticket because many municipalities enforce speeding regulations. Oh heavens! People get upset over laws, but we should not get angry and let everyone, criminals included, do as they please. Keep up the good work Sheriff's Department.
#49 Jul 24, 2012
As I recall, the great citizens of Hopewell voiced their complaint, when the Sheriff's Dept set up radar by Mathis Field. They're no longer there.:) Anchor Point and Prince George Court residents didn't want to slow down. And we still don't!!
#50 Jul 24, 2012
iPhone without proofing! Or can they be that stupid?
#51 Jul 25, 2012
I believe the sheriff has the power to shut down the police department
#52 Jul 25, 2012
Bunch of cry babies next thing y'all will be cring about it the police running a speed trap on rt 10 in front of Honeywell if you don't lime it move out
#53 Aug 12, 2012
Officer Stanley brother stopped in Prince George Co with 3 ounces of marijuana,scales. No arrest? Hmmmm but it's big deal when he stops drug dealers on 295
#55 Jan 28, 2013
no, most of the officers in hopewell have at least been there for 4 years or more. the hopewell police department also does not need the money . they have contracts with dodge and other tacticle equipment companies, where they receive their stuff. the money should be going to bring hopewell back to the way it used to be. and no one like Pelham, but she still has her 13 or so jobs in hopewell. even though she only works at a few of them.
#56 Sep 18, 2013
There will be another interview with Sheriff Anderson tonight on NBC12 News at 11pm.
#57 Sep 19, 2013
I missed the interview. What was it about?
#58 Oct 29, 2013
Yes you do. It's happening everywhere around the state. Perhaps a trip out of Hopewell is in order for you. Prince George is hittin 295 also, as well as Dinwiddie on 85, Sussex on 95, and emporia on 95 just to name a few.

Like most heavy Internet users, I rely on Google's search engine nearly every single day.
I use it mostly to find news about tech topics, clicking first on the "Technology" link on the left side of the Google News menu, and then either scrolling down the headlines in the middle or clicking on a specific technology topic listed in the left menu. Sometimes I'll do a specific word search from there if the topic I'm interested in isn't listed.
But until Monday I hadn't noticed a feature at the bottom of the results for specific searches. I did a search on "Apple" and got headlines about Cyber Monday, iPad-crazed toddlers, a Siri hack and iPhone 4S sales in the U.K. Pretty standard fare.
But at the bottom I saw a provocative headline that said "Maggot In The Apple." The article was published in the Indian Express. Was it a condemnation of working conditions in the overseas manufacturing plants used by Apple? Some alleged skullduggery on the part of an Apple executive?
No such thing. It was a scathing article about Adolph Hitler, published on May 19, 1941.
Another headline in the "news archive results" read, "As We See It: A Bad Apple." It was an editorial published in the Milwaukee Sentinel on Oct. 9, 1961, lauding President Kennedy for his tough negotiating stance in talks with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko regarding the stalemate over West Berlin.
Not exactly on point as far as my search, but fascinating to a history buff.
Then I tried "IBM" and got a bunch of current IBM articles, along with a Milwaukee Journal article from Jan. 18, 1969, about the "U.S. antitrust action filed against IBM." (The Justice Department action against Big Blue stretched on for 13 years before being dismissed in 1982. AT&T should consider itself lucky.)
Do a search on "computer" and you'll find a 1978 article from the Deseret News about President Carter scrubbing the sale of a "sophisticated" Sperry-Univac computer to the Soviet Union.
A search for "wireless" strikes real gold, with a Pittsburgh Press article from April 15, 1912, informing readers that, according to the "latest wireless dispatch," aid has reached a damaged ship called the Titanic. A sub-headline proclaimed a "Hope to Save Big Liner." It didn't quite work out that way, as we know.
You don't get news archive returns for every search, and there seems to be a disproportionate number from the Milwaukee papers and the Deseret paper. But if you like to read about historical events as they happen -- via scanned newspaper pages, no less, not HTML text -- Google's news archive is like your own little time machine.

Before the end of 2010 Google will release Android 3.0, codenamed 'Gingerbread', and talk is it will provide vastly more graphical polish than the OS has offered to date. This seems inevitable given the hiring of Matias Duarte as director of Android user experience given Duarte was previously responsible for designing the visual flourish seen in Palm's webOS. Such progression could well negate the need for custom UIs and there is even talk Google will ban them completely in an effort to minimise fragmentation.
Google is not alone in its frustration. After years of arguably giving handset makers no choice but to modify Windows Mobile, Microsoft has announced Windows Phone 7 (whatever its chances) will not accept any third party tinkering with its new 'tile' interface. Third party apps can be added to the homescreen, but that is the extent of the Redmond concessions as it looks to take control over both software and hardware for the first time.
Consequently this will mean Android and Windows Phone 7 join Apple's iOS, RIM's BlackBerry OS, Palm/HP's webOS and even Samsung's bada as platforms whose appearance is tightly regulated. This leaves MeeGo and Symbian as the loan OSes still encouraging third party customisation. From what we have seen of the former its swish UI already looks like it needs no help, and only struggling Sony Ericsson and Nokia maintain their (nostalgic and potentially misplaced) loyalty to the latter.
The end result is companies relying on Android and Windows Phone - we're thinking of you HTC, Motorola, LG and (first steps of bada-aside) Samsung - could once again become embroiled in hardware and price wars for their differentiators. Something we'd enjoy immensely, but those involved would rather avoid. After all, HTC has up to now beautifully marketed its handsets with their homogenous Sense UIs and Samsung is re-skinning Android to fall inline with its TouchWiz interface. Both will be extremely cautious of Motorola potentially breaking ranks by, at the very least, giving Motoblur a backseat.
Ultimately it will be interesting to see if we can take Jha at his word or whether this is indeed a first delicate step towards Motoblur's withdrawal? With Google and Microsoft set to actively counter custom UIs with their next generation platforms, it may be that handset makers will have little choice but to concede, though don't expect them all to go down without a fight...

These puppies are gorgeous. Great colour combination, great design, great shape. They're amazing.
They have a really authentic eighties look to them – something about grey mixed with colour is very evocative of the era. Also the leather (or could it be leatherette? Do I dare dream?) padding on the uppers is just divine.
You can get hold of them from the ever reliable We Sold Out for €100 (about £75).

Eerie Photos Of NYC's Darkened Streets
Long exposure photos taken after hurricane Sandy show a very different New York than the normal city of bright lights.
After four days without power, lower Manhattan has become a shadow of its former self. Hurricane Sandy has left thousands without power, fresh food or water.
Yet life goes on in the dark zone, as cars zip down darkened streets without traffic lights or street lamps. Photographer Randy Scott Slavin has taken some remarkable long exposure pictures of the luminescent trails left by passing cars.
The photographer describes the project on his Facebook page:
New York City is always bright. Street lights, business marquees, light from apartments and car headlights merge to light every corner of the city streets, even on the darkest nights. It is the night after NYC was decimated by Hurricane Sandy, downtown NYC is in the midst of a power outage that has plunged it into complete darkness. I felt the call to hit the eerily dark streets and show New York as it is rarely seen. Trekking around with my tripod I was able to get the long exposures necessary to see in the dark.
See more of these striking images in the gallery below.

(KANSAS CITY, Mo.) Sept. 25, 2014 — When it comes to job-creating power, the age of a business is more important than the size.
According to an Entrepreneurship Policy Digest released today by the Kauffman Foundation, new businesses account for nearly all net new job creation and almost 20 percent of gross job creation.
While existing small and large businesses are important to overall economic strength, neither group contributes to new job creation the way new firms do.
The Policy Digest explains that startup activity is on the decline in the United States, and proposes strategies for policymakers to help reverse that trend.
"Especially with the declining startup rate, there is an opportunity for lawmakers at the federal, state and local level to improve conditions for business creation," said Jason Wiens, policy director at the Kauffman Foundation. "From advancing education at the local level to creating visas for immigrant entrepreneurs at the federal level, our new Policy Digest offers several strategies that could help spur job growth via entrepreneurship."

If you're doing any significant amount of work with statmachines, you will most certainly encounter some conditional logic in your Statemachines. Take our vending machine.
When ever a coin is inserted, the invoked event will depend on whether the total amount of money inserted is sufficient to buy something.
If enough money has been tendered, the display should suggest that the customer make a selection. If insufficient money has been inserted, the customer should be prompted to insert more.
Conditional logic can be accomplished by using entry actions. See the diagram below.
Starting in the
Accept Money state, when a coin is inserted, the
coin event is fired and the Statemachine transitions into the
Inserted state. This is where it gets fun.
Upon entering of the
Coin Inserted state its entry event is
count_amount_tendered. This method will count the money
and invoke the
not_paid_yet or
paid event
accordingly. This will cause the Statemachine to transition into the
appropriate state.
Coin Inserted state is unique. You wouldn't expect to find
the Statemachine in the
Coin Inserted state for any reason
except to make this decision. Once the decision is made, the state changes.
States like this are called Decision States.

By NAOMI SNYDERStaff WriterWOOSTER Livecom Inc. hopes filing cabinets soon will be a thing of the past, thanks to its latest software development, DocControl.DocControl is a document imaging system that archives traditional paper files."We take their filing cabinets and scan them into a database," said project director Doug Noah. "It's custom-built to what customers are looking for."DocControl is an electronic depository that any file format can be uploaded into, according to Noah.College Hills Honda is Livecom's first DocControl client."Our biggest hassle is filing," said dealership owner Bob Bressi.Two rooms at the dealership are filled with paper files of sales and service records."What we're going to do is eliminate all of our filing cabinets, and it will create more space within the store," Bressi said.When a customer comes to the dealership, someone has to search through the rooms for their file."DocControl is a more accurate, more efficient way of finding files," said Livecom Inc. President Thad Unkefer.According to Unkefer, the program will help companies generate more revenue by allowing employees to focus on more important tasks.A user name is required to access different levels within the program, meaning some employees will have access to certain files, and others will have increased limitations regarding file access."This is more secure than a filing cabinet, setting up different users with different authority," Noah said.After being scanned, files are organized under headings ranging from customer name to account number."It's custom built to what customers are looking for," Noah said.According to Unkefer, any business that uses a filing cabinet can benefit from DocControl.Automated, nightly database backups keep data safe.

"It is time to redefine power, to expand our concept of what being powerful really means. True power is love. It is not power over someone. It is everyone, all of us, standing together in a circle, building power side by side.
"As I build my power, I create a mirror, a reflection of power that you can use to build your power. It is not rivalry, but rather healthy competition-a world where I inspire you and you inspire me; and together we create a world of healthy, interdependent, creative people."
