Is there any way to get rid of the vertical lines on the left side of forwarded email?
Removing Blue Vertical Lines in Your Forwarded Outlook and Windows Live E-mail:
Ever try to forward a really funny or thought provoking e-mail, only to have the forward appear horribly mis-formatted due to a bunch of weird, commonly blue, vertical lines streaking down the left side of your e-mail? Well, you can take a small amount of comfort knowing you are definitely not alone. An odd anomaly generated by some e-mail clients/services when a message is forwarded, these colored lines are not only annoying, but typically a pain to get rid of as well. However, there are a few tricks that can speed up your ability to remove these annoyances without resorting to using a third party "e-mail cleaner" program. Here are the top three methods to remove vertical lines in some of the most common e-mail programs and services . . .
Microsoft Outlook:
Despite possibly having the most options for formatting e-mail of any e-mail program or service available, Outlook has, surprisingly, the simplest method of removing vertical lines from forwarded e-mails:
Step 1. Open the e-mail you wish to forward, select the content directly in front/to the right of your vertical line(s) in the body of the e-mail message, and press Ctrl+C to copy the highlighted contents to your clipboard.
Step 2. Create a new blank e-mail message.
Step 3. Paste (press Ctrl+V) your copied e-mail into the new e-mail message. Your e-mail message will be pasted into the new message window sans most, if not all, vertical lines.
Step 3-1. If any vertical lines remain, simply copy any text and images with said vertical lines still attached, and paste the copied content into the same e-mail just above the content you just copied.
Step 3-2. Repeat Step 3-1 until all vertical lines are gone.
Step 4. Delete any duplicate or unnecessary text/images beneath your newly cleaned content, and send your e-mail.
Quick, simple, and easy!
Windows Live Mail
For those needing to remove vertical lines in the latest evolution of Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail offers a push button solution to removing these email annoyances:
Step 1. Select your e-mail and press the forward button to open it in the standard "Send E-mail" editor.
Step 2. Place your cursor directly in front of (to the right of) the vertical line you wish to remove.
Step 3. At the top of your e-mail editor, select the Message tab if it is not already selected. Various message formatting options will appear.
Step 4. Find and click the Clear formatting button just next to the font size and style fields.
Step 5. Voila! The vertical line will instantly disappear. Repeat Step 4. as needed to remove any additional vertical lines.
Step 6. Once all vertical lines have been cleared, you will likely be left with a bit of margin space to the right of your e-mail content. To remove this, simply select the message content you wish to forward, copy it (Ctrl+C), and paste it (Ctrl+V) at the beginning of your message. Delete the old content beneath your freshly formatted message, and hit Send.
And that's it!

hi, i've been trying to get lorcon working so I can play with some cool wireless exploits on metasploit.
I have 2 chipsets:
1)rtl8187 (not supported by lorcon, however I tried setting it to use rtl8180 but I get "lorcon does not support setting the tx rate for this interface")
2)rt61 (supported by lorcon, I also tried rt2500 and rt2570, but all three settings return: cannot initialize interface (I know it doesnt make sense...))
anyway I just thought that maybe someone here got it working with one of these chipsets, or maybe give me some help on how I can modify the source to skip some steps and recompile it, cause i'm not familiar with ruby. tnx.

Causes of Depression
Introduction to causes of depression
Have you ever wondered what causes clinical depression? Perhaps you have been diagnosed with major depression, and that's made you question why some people get depressed while others don't.
Depression is an extremely complex disease. It occurs for a variety of reasons. Some people experience depression during a serious medical illness. Others may have depression with life changes such as a move or the death of a loved one. Still others have a family history of depression. Those who do may experience depression and feel overwhelmed with sadness and loneliness for no known reason.
What Are the Main Causes of Depression?
There are a number of factors that may increase the chance of depression, including the following:
How Is Biology Related to Depression?
Researchers have noted differences in the brains of people who are depressed as compared to people who are not. For instance, the hippocampus, a small part of the brain that is vital to the storage of memories, appears to be smaller in people with a history of depression than in those who've never been depressed. A smaller hippocampus has fewer serotonin receptors. Serotonin is a calming brain chemical known as a neurotransmitter that allows communication between nerves in the brain and the body. It's also thought that the neurotransmitter norepinephrine may be involved in depression.
Scientists do not know why the hippocampus is smaller in those with depression. Some researchers have found that the stress hormone cortisol is produced in excess in depressed people. These investigators believe that cortisol has a toxic or poisonous effect on the hippocampus. Some experts theorize that depressed people are simply born with a smaller hippocampus and are therefore inclined to suffer from depression.

|Summary: JNI wrappers for Apache Portable Runtime for Tomcat
Tomcat can use the Apache Portable Runtime to provide superior scalability, performance, and better integration with native server technologies. The Apache Portable Runtime is a highly portable library that is at the heart of Apache HTTP Server 2.x. APR has many uses, including access to advanced IO functionality (such as sendfile, epoll and OpenSSL), OS level functionality (random number generation, system status, etc), and native process handling (shared memory, NT pipes and Unix sockets). These features allows making Tomcat a general purpose webserver, will enable much better integration with other native web technologies, and overall make Java much more viable as a full fledged webserver platform rather than simply a backend focused technology.

I've basically resigned myself to doing away with one or the other, and now I guess I have to choose. I love the convenience of the streaming, but I like the selection of DVD's...Crap. I've got much more important stuff to decide than this.

I also benefit greatly from the free two day shipping which has a lot to do with my decision to go with Prime. My wife and I both use Amazon to order books and recordings that we simply can't find in local stores. I certainly agree that other providers have more quantity of titles.

While I agree that DVDs for sale isn't going away any time soon because people like to own (though I do think that market is dwindling), IMO, the future is in instant streaming right into your home. It's way too convenient and easy. Now whether that will be a monthly/yearly subscription fee or simply paying per movie viewed is yet to be determined. I think video rental stores will become obsolete at some point.The movie industry seems to be trying to keep the dvd market afloat by limiting what can be made available for streaming. As more devices with streaming capabilities come to market, propping up the dvd market to the detriment of streaming may prove difficult. Not to say that dvds will go away. People still love to own them. But dvds as a rental medium may fade.
And another factor is that with the technology today a lot of people will rent a movie first to see if it's good or not, and avoid paying out $20 to buy a bad movie. And if so, they're burning copies of those movies they decide to add to their library.
I agree. I don't subscribe to any of the premium cable movie channels (HBO, TMC, etc), and it was because of services like Netflix, Hulu, and a few others, where I could search, pick and choose, what I wanted to watch. I pay a monthly fee for Netflix, but the others are free, unless you subscribe to their "premium" service which I haven't found necessary to do.I think cable faces the biggest threat from streaming. Why subscribe to a premium movie channel when streaming services provide the same content in a more convenient manner?

"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
I read one reasoning for this Netflix Qikster split that made sense. Basically what it claimed is that the content owners were holding the streaming content licensing hostage to the physical media content and vice versa. They were trying to get the content licensed at the total number of Netflix subscribers and not just the number of streaming users.
By splitting the DVD mailing service away from the Streaming only service it will weed out users and then make licensing easier for both companies. This is the only thing that makes sense to me. The CEO of Netflix has made it quite clear that he wants to get away from the mailing service and that he thinks streaming is the future. I think he is right, but I also think he is a little bit ahead of the curve. The content owners are scared of streaming their content, but have no qualms over putting the discs in a vending machine and letting anyone with a credit card take them home for use. I guess they don't realize it's much easier to pirate the physical media that is using a 15 year old encryption method that can't be changed due to backwards compatibility.

Perhaps a bit off topic, but I'm trying to figure out how this Redbox thing is going to play out. 1 dollar a night for a brand new release. Yet it would be cheaper for all involved to stream that movie for 1 dollar for a 24 hour period of time. Will Redbox single-handedly keep DVDs on life-support?
Netflix added The Wonder Years to instant stream today!
Suckers for just about anything BBC, we watched all the Inspector George Gently episodes. Liked 'em.

I've been reading speculation in the technology press that Amazon is looking to buy Netflix, but they don't want the disc rental business. If a deal is indeed imminent, that would explain why it was spun off into a separate company. The Netflix CEO was asked about these rumors in an interview and gave an answer that completely ignored the question.

Just noticed this weekend that they added Malcolm in the Middle to Netflix streaming. Great show.

They also recently added the entire first season of The Walking Dead. New season starts this Sunday, it would be a good time to catch up if you missed it last year. Great show.

Tim McGraw & Faith Hill returning to Las Vegas
Listen to Tim McGraw on iHeartRadio | Listen to Faith Hill on iHeartRadio
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill will be returning to the stage together.
The country couple is planning an "encore run" of their "Soul2Soul" show at The Venetian in Las Vegas.
McGraw and Hill kicked off their five-month engagement at the venue last December, and brought their show to a close in April. But Tim says it was "a total no-brainer" to say yes to more dates. He explains that he and Faith "made the most" of their "short time in Vegas," but "it seemed like it was over" just as they were "getting good and warmed up."
Faith adds that the Vegas show was "a real treat" for her and Tim as well as their fans, and The Venetian "really rolled out the red carpet and made the whole experience so easy" for them.
McGraw and Hill will resume their "Soul2Soul" shows at The Venetian on October 25th and 26th, giving two performances each night. They'll play a total of ten weekends over the following six months. Shows are also set for November 8th, 9th, 15th, and 16th. Tickets go on sale next week.

This is an excellent setup man. Your basically acting that AP as an extension to the selected network thats running off the wire/dsl etc? I read your post fully and the pics are nice aswell. This is seriously going to help me in a few months time when I move house. Im setting up my lab outside my new house, first I have to build the office ...it will be like a barn only air-tight . It will be 1/2 an acre in distance from my new house so I will need to use this tutorial for that project.
Thanks pureh@te, I was going to do this myself when I moved but now that you have already done it its going to save me a lot of time figuring it out
Thanks a million man
EDIT: A section of my office is going to be underground. Ive never actually thought about it until now...I wonder if WiFi can be broadcasted from a steal container thats 6 foot underground. Hmmm...Im off to Google this one
EDIT2: Found a PDF on Cisco WiFi broadcasting in underground conditions. It was made up mainly for the mining industry, here is the link incase anyone is interested: Cisco WiFi-Going Underground // Mining Industry

What Movies Get You in the Holiday Spirit?
November 30th, 2009
Holiday traditions are vital to drumming up holiday spirit. For me and my family, one of the most crucial is the mandatory viewing of certain films. Like special holiday foods or decorations, these movies are carefully squirreled away until the frantic end of year draws near. Then, we dig them out from their dusty hidey-holes and view them with copious quantities of eggnog, cookies and other treats, thinking, "Ahhhh…… the holidays are here." Somehow, the season doesn't feel quite right without them. So, what's on my viewing list?
1. It's a Wonderful Life (1947) – A great movie for percolating warm, fuzzy feelings and remembering what the season is all about.
2. Elf (2003) – We've watched this one so many times that I know the lines by heart. And what other film has a narwhal as a character?
3. A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973) and A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) – Pair these together for a high-dose nostalgia injection of holiday cheer.
4. Home for the Holidays (1995) – This film gets my vote for funniest holiday flick. Poor Holly Hunter goes home to see her dysfunctional family, creating many cynical and hilariously awkward moments.
5. The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (1966 cartoon version) – Boris Karloff has an awesome voice and I always get a little bit teary when the Whos in Whoville all hold hands and sing.
6. A Christmas Carol (1999) – Patrick Stewart makes a great Scrooge in this Dickens classic and it always makes me want to try steamed figgy pudding.
Click here to see a list of holiday movies you can check out from Cecil County Public Library. And tell us – what movies do you watch to get in the holiday spirit?

Tornados dealt first loss in 2OTSeptember 6, 2009
Montevallo tops Tornados 1-0
Brevard, N.C. - Despite Sydney Douglas' spectacular play, saving 17 of the 18 shots she faced, Paige Scott scored a goal for Montevallo with 0:25 left in the second overtime to put the Tornados on the losing end for the first time this season.
Montevallo improved to 3-1 while the Tornados fall to 4-1.
Douglas saved six shots on goal in the first period, including two key saves that bounced in front of her with Falcons charging at 13:06 and 5:22. Allie Hovis shot twice on goal for the Tornados in the first while Bailey Varley shot once totaling three shots on goal for the Tornados in the period.
All four shots that Montevallo goalkeeper, Alyssa Maxwell faced were in regulation.
Maxwell and the Falcons contained the Hovis – Varley scoring duo holding them scoreless with just three combined shots on goal.
The Falcons, once again, shot six times at Douglas in the second period. Douglas had great defensive support including an effort from Kayla Yingst when she stopped a scoring attack in front of the box and gained possession for the Tornados with 15:00 remaining and then with 10:00 left in the period Nikki Peacock knocked a corner kick away from the net.
With the Falcons controlling the ball for most of the first overtime, good defense prevailed once again, this time Jessica Guadagno coming up big to stop a couple Falcon attacks, sending the game into a second overtime.
The second overtime was hard fought and even until Paige Scott finally got one of the Falcons 25 shots into the net with just 0:25 left in the game.
The Tornados will look to rebound from the heartbreaking loss on Tuesday when they travel to North Greenville for a 4 p.m. match.

It's been more than a year since the well-known Mountain View man was struck and killed by an out-of-control car as he waited to catch the bus near the intersection of California Street and Escuela Avenue.
A judge on Jan. 3 ruled there was sufficient evidence to try Pumar, the man behind the wheel. But the trial was continually pushed back for a variety of reasons — including a request by the defense attorney for more time, other cases on the calendar, and the changing availability of witnesses.
According to a Mountain View Police Department investigation, at around 9:30 a.m. on June 21, 2012, Pumar sped through a red light, swerved to avoid a truck entering the intersection, lost control of his car, and struck Ware, who was killed by the violent impact of the collision.
During the preliminary hearing, Pumar's defense team sought to show that Pumar was not speeding or driving recklessly in the run-up to the crash. Pumar's lawyer, Dennis Smith, argued that the Mountain View resident had not run a red light, but had squeezed through a yellow light while driving at a reasonable speed on California Avenue.
Whichever version of events is true, Pumar ended up losing control of his car, which careered onto the sidewalk in the 1800 block of California Street and struck Ware, who was killed instantly.
Ware's brother, Jim, said he is pleased that the trial will finally begin.
"As family members of the victim in this case, it has been quite frustrating to make plans to be in court for the trial only to have the case continued again and again," he wrote in an email to the Voice. "Every time a court date approaches, we have to prepare ourselves emotionally ... to relive this horrific event, only to be sent home for another month or more."
In a conversation with the Voice he added that he wants to be able to put the tragedy in the past and stop worrying about upcoming court dates. "You want to go forward," he said.

Bowie right-hander shares tips, traits with highly touted sibling
By David Driver / Special to MLB.com | April 24, 2012 6:24 AM ET
That would be his younger brother Dylan, who began this season as the No. 2 prospect in the Orioles' system and does not turn 20 until November.
"I was fortunate to spend [time] with Dylan. I had a catch partner, and we work well together," Bobby Bundy said. "It was great getting to work with him. It is an advantage we have as brothers. We know how each other's body works."
The brothers from Sperry High School -- about 15 miles north of Tulsa -- worked out for about 90 minutes most days from Oct. 10 until Feb. 20, when Bobby headed to Spring Training in Florida. He broke camp with Bowie after spending the end of last season with the Baysox.
"He has a power arm that has some sink, and he has life to his fastball," said Bowie manager Gary Kendall. "He has a really good feel for his changeup.
"He is young and has a very good work ethic, not just with the Orioles but in the off-season," Kendall added. "He's very focused on getting to the big leagues. He is very soft-spoken and well-mannered."
Bundy was asked if he is becoming known as the brother of Dylan Bundy?
"That's already happened," he said with a laugh. "He went through that with me when I was drafted. Now he's surpassed me [in terms of attention]. I'm known as his brother now. That's OK. I just want to get to the next level, like he does."
While Bobby Bundy is with Bowie, his younger brother is about 100 miles away on the Maryland shore with Delmarva in the Class A full-season South Atlantic League. Over his first three pro starts, covering nine innings, Dylan Bundy has not allowed a hit while striking out 15 batters and walking just one.
"They are both very focused on becoming the best they can be," said Kendall, who also got to see Dylan at Spring Training in March. "They are very professional. They like to have fun, but at the same time, when there is work to be done, they are extremely focused."
The brothers do not communicate every day but talk after each of their starts and sometimes compare notes on days when they throw on the side.
Bobby Bundy pitched six scoreless innings April 11 against Richmond but struggled in his next two outings. Over his first four starts, he is 1-3 with an ERA of 5.31, allowing 25 hits and nine walks in 20 1/3 innings while fanning 14.
Last year he went 11-5 with a 2.75 ERA in 20 starts for Class A Advanced Frederick and was a mid-season All-Star. An eighth-round pick by the Orioles in 2008, he began his pro career in the Gulf Coast League, then played for Bluefield in the Appalachian League in 2009. Bundy advanced to Delmarva in 2010, going 4-6 with a 3.65 ERA in 28 games, including 18 starts.
Struggles for the Sea Dogs: While the parent Red Sox are off to a slow start, Portland also has concerns following a 7-2 loss at Binghamton on Sunday. The Sea Dogs fell to 4-14 overall and 1-10 on the road with a team batting average of .236. "Our guys showed signs of putting together a quality approach" at the plate, Sea Dogs manager Kevin Boles told The Portland Press-Herald. "They've got to be consistent with runners in scoring position, but our guys are working hard every day."
Hot start at Reading: Reading began the season 7-1 for the first time in its 46-year history, according to The Reading Eagle. "I knew that we had a team with a lot of talent," outfielder Steve Susdorf told the paper. Our success "was a matter of how the younger guys were going to handle the Double-A stage, and they've taken and run with it." Top prospect Trevor May, a right-handed starter, was 3-0 with a 3.18 ERA in his first three starts, and Reading was 11-5 through Sunday.
Several new faces: Erie has welcomed several new faces as right-handers Mark Sorensen and Patrick Cooper were assigned to the team Thursday from Lakeland of the Class A Advanced Florida State League, while former Major Leaguer Zach Miner joined the roster Friday. Sorensen, the son of former big leaguer Lary Sorensen, is slated to start Tuesday at Trenton after he went 0-1, 4.50 in two starts for the Flying Tigers. He made 17 starts last year for the SeaWolves.

While at camp, kids meet other kids with diabetes, and learn from older campers, counselors, and staff. A few years back, Camp Surefire Camp was on the verge of closing. Thanks to Dr. Fox's hard work and dedication the camp continues to operate keeping it viable for future operation.
Contribution: AARP-RI is a key partner in supporting multicultural outreach and has embraced the Rhode Island Department of Health Living Well Rhode Island (LWRI) self-management workshops conducted in English and Spanish. Living Well RI workshops follow the Stanford Chronic Disease Self-Management model, a Stanford evidence based program running in several states including Rhode Island. Free workshops run in convenient locations throughout Rhode Island once a week for six weeks. With the support of Deborah Miller, AARP-RI Associate State Chair and Chair of the Diabetes Multicultural Commission, AARP-RI was awarded a grant award that provided $10,000 in funding to provide sustainability and support for the LWRI program. Deborah Miller also serves on the Living Well Rhode Island steering committee.
Contribution: HEALTH's Immunization Program sponsored its first National Immunization Week poster art contest earlier this year. Students were asked to submit artwork depicting the importance of children or young adults getting vaccinated. The winning artwork was printed on posters and brochures that are being distributed to health centers, pediatricians, and family practitioners.
Corinne Clapper is a sophomore at the East Bay Met School in Newport and Jade Shriver is a sophomore at Beacon Charter High School in Woonsocket. School Nurse Teacher Lisa Shwartz is accepting the award for East Bay Met School. Principal Dr. Robert Pilkington and Artistic Director Patricia Hawkridge are accepting the award for Beacon Charter School.
Contribution: Dr. Joseph D. DiMase has created a model program for cooperation among individual and institutional healthcare providers and the Department of Health. The Screening Colonoscopies for Underserved Populations (SCUP) initiative has now provided over 100 free procedures for uninsured, low-income adults and is on track to triple that number in the coming year.
Upon retiring after 36 years practicing gastroenterology in Rhode Island, Dr. DiMase volunteered to attend patients and teach Fellows. Dissatisfied with a two-year wait for essential cancer screening in poor and minority groups, Dr. DiMase recognized the many barriers (social, financial, procedural, etc.) standing in the way of this important health equity issue.
He created a professional advisory board for SCUP, recruited several dozen surgeons and gastroenterologists and gained the cooperation of most Rhode Island hospitals to provide free services. He garnered the assistance of the Rhode Island Health Center Association (RIHCA) to recruit and refer appropriate patients. The Cancer Control Program of the Department of Health collaborated by providing technical expertise on database development and patient navigation support for the community health centers. SCUP has also received a large donation of colon preparation product from its manufacturer, Braintree labs.
Contribution: A Unique Partnership Between the Pawtucket Citizens Development Corporation and The Rhode Island Department of Health Focusing Upon HIV Prevention and Sex Workers . The innovative approach to mobilizing community partners towards a unique endpoint related to HIV prevention and other community concerns associated with crime and unsafe neighborhoods has won Project RENEW much acclaim. Mayor Doyle has lead this effort among police and community and has supported the sex workers involved in Project RENEW to get involved with education and job placement activities. His leadership has been exemplary and he has been an inspiration to numerous high-risk (for HIV and other communicable diseases) woman.
Contribution: WIC services were in jeopardy in the Pawtucket and CF area in February, for 5400 clients. Within days RIPIN offered space and a way for WIC to provide temporary services for five months. They allowed flexibility in how long we stayed in the location, welcomed WIC families with open arms and provided stability in a very high risk area of the state. Because of this organization along with the dedicated staff at HEALTH, clients who had transportation issues, new babies, those in shelters and many others were able to continue to access needed services.
Contributions: Jane Eskelund is the Director of Rebuild Together, a non-profit organization, that helps people who can't afford repairs on their homes. Mrs. Eskelund has recruited and organized 22,000 volunteers which equals over 200,000 hours of work and a dollar value of $9.5 million. Mrs. Eskelund has been dedicated to this cause and the Providence community for over 16 years.
Contributions: During a glitch in the RI AIDS drug assistance database in Octboer 2008, Bhaslar R. Vyas, a Rite Aid pharmacist, worked with clients and the DOH-ADAP to ensure that all clients whose primary pharmacy declined their request for medications received their medications without disruption.
Contributions: Dr. George Lauro has long been afillliated with the Office of State Medical Examiners. Since his retirement from active practice, he has served as a contract physician providing coverage during periods of staffing shortages. Recently OSME had two doctors retire in short order and left the office with only one full-time medical examiner. Repeatedly, Dr. Lauro came forward to relieve the burden of casework as well as assist greatly in the closure of autopsy reports of the departing doctors. His energy, experience, and efforts prevented substantial delays to families in need of these autopsy reports.
Contibutions: Each of the eleven providers participated in the state's first Flu Vaccination Day in November and hosted flu vaccination clinics during non-traditional times that were more convenient for patients. Flu Vaccination Day gave Rhode Islanders the opportunity to protect themselves and their families from getting the flu. In addition, vaccine was offered at no charge to anyone who was uninsured. The participants included private providers, mass immunizers and pharmacies.
The Award recipients were:
Contribution: For their outstanding work in providing care to former patients of a suspended physician. Clinicians and staff stepped in and managed a difficult clinical situation in which a cohort of oncologic patients may not have recieved appropriate cancer care.
Contribution: For their outstanding work in providing specialty TB care to the students and teachers of Central Falls High School during this years contact investigation and treatment of two students with active TB. Clinicians and Staff provided on site and expanded clinical practice hours to accomodate the needs of the department's investigation of this important public health concern.
Contribution: Lifespan at RI Hospital and Miriam Hospital have gone beyond their call of duty to assist the refugee populations(s) in Rhode Island. Because of this team's will power, enthusiasm, and development of new ideas and health service venues, refugees in RI are receiving the health care needed to become productive citizens.

Contribution: Project Bridge, a program funded by The Office of HIV/AIDS & Viral Hepatitis at RI DOH provides results for access to care and maintenance of care for disenfranchised HIV populations that has received national attention. Project Bridge implements an 18-month intervention that focuses on retaining the client in health care and linking him/her with other services needed to build a life outside incarceration. Project Bridge uses a cognitive behavoir mdoel, in which a caseworker and an outreach worker demonstrate the behavoir needed to successfully seek those services.

Work What?
I received this question from a reader the other day, so I thought I would explain it to you all now.
Q: I hear the terms "workbook" and "worksheet" used frequently when people discuss MS Excel. What exactly is a workbook? A worksheet? Is there a difference?
A: Well, to begin with, there is definitely a difference.
- A workbook is the MS Excel file in which you enter and store related data.
- A worksheet (also known as a spreadsheet) is a collection of cells on a single "sheet" where you actually keep and manipulate the data. Each workbook can contain many worksheets. (It's a lot like a book. One book contains an entire story. Each page of the book contains part of the story, etc).
Often, one workbook has a single theme, such as a personal budget. Each worksheet would then have a part of that theme, such as the budget broken down by month.
There you go. It's that simple!

Top Line: Spearing incidents in Dallas, Sean Avery speaks, more links
By Allan Muir
An extended Snowmaggedon guide to this morning's must-read hockey stories:
• A couple of nasty spearing incidents marred an otherwise entertaining game between Dallas and Anaheim Friday night. Problem for the Ducks is that Stars' defenseman Stephane Robidas got away with his when he jabbed Corey Perry.
• The winter storm has pushed the start time of today's Boston-Tampa Bay game from 1 PM to 7 PM. The caution amuses Tuukka Rask and Claude Julien.
• Several Bruins players opened up about former teammate Tim Thomas. Lots of reading between the lines to be done here.
• Sean Avery decided to pop on TSN's Between The Line. Not surprisingly, he offered up some hot sports opinions.
• Detroit fans can thank former Red Wing Doug Shedden for sending leading goal scorer Damien Brunner their way.
• Penalties are being called more frequently according to The New York Times.
• Roy MacGregor could write about a middle-school cafeteria menu and make it interesting. Here he has some thoughts on Sidney Crosby. You need to read them.
• Tim Wharnsby did yeoman's work in capturing the spirit of hockey in Peterborough, host city for today's Hockey Day in Canada celebrations. Here he is on Roger Nielson, the Staal brothers, and local legend Gary Dalliday.
• Kris Letang is out, but the Penguins believe their power play "will keep rolling" with Paul Martin as the quarterback.
• Ice time is up for leading scorer Thomas Vanek but he still lags well behind most high-end forwards.
• Personally, I hate when Steve Ott does stuff like this, but it paid off for the Sabres.
• So, don't give up so many goals, stop taking penalties and play harder. Sounds like Washington GM George McPhee has the secret for pulling the Capitals out of 30th place.
• Damien Cox offers up what may be the second-best preview of what Canada's roster could look like a year from now in Sochi. The best look? Glad you asked.
• Here's Dave Feschuk on Carey Price's "dance to the edge of reproductive viability." That's easily the most graceful phrasing we've seen to date to describe this staple of America's Funniest Home Videos.
• "I'm having a lot of fun", said Anaheim center Saku Koivu. "No reason not to play next year." The 38-year-old center is leading the team with 11 points during its hot start.
• It's scary how cheap it is to buy tickets to Florida Panthers games these days. One Montreal fan explains it's almost cheaper for him to fly to Florida to see the Habs than to go to a contest at the Bell Centre.
• The Sens are looking for more from Milan Michalek during Jason Spezza's absence.
• Is there really a Hall of Fame case to be made for Rogie Vachon?
• Looks like Anze Kopitar is going to Sochi. Slovenia earned a spot in the 2014 Olympic tournament a this week's qualifier. VIDEObeer-league hockey?

Nominal vs actual dimensions
If you find reading plans confusing, or have trouble identifying the exact dimensions of wood at a lumberyard or home center, read on. Most lumber is sold in "nominal" (in name only) sizes such as 1x3, 2x4 and 4x4. But these sizes are not the actual dimensions of the wood. The chart below shows the actual dimensions of lumber when it is dry (when wet, it will be slightly larger). This handy chart will help you translate the nominal into the actual (dry). After a while, you'll get the hang of it.

ObamaCare Launch Plagued With Glitches
(NEWSER) – As promised, ObamaCare's health insurance exchanges launched today ... but, also as promised, there were glitches galore. Politico reports that users in multiple states were getting error messages and weren't able to sign up for the exchanges, and the federal website was down entirely around 9:30am. Maryland's portal, which was expected to experience few problems because state lawmakers got behind ObamaCare so early, advised residents to come back at noon. Also at that hour, President Obama is holding an ObamaCare event in the Oval Office and then giving a statement in the Rose Garden.

Looking for an affordable vacation in an area far cooler than Phoenix, I took a trip with my boyfriend, Travis, to see the sites of Flagstaff — especially Downtown Flagstaff. As we drove north, appreciating the differences in the landscape as we moved through the mountains, we knew this was a fantastic decision.
Lumberyard Brewing Company
When we arrived to Flagstaff, we met up with Travis' grandparents Lally and Lynn. Because it was around dinnertime, we decided to venture out to Lumberyard Brewing Company. Travis and I were more than enthused to give a local brewery a try, rather than head to one of the commercial restaurants. Walking up to the restaurant, we noticed the fenced in patio with umbrellas at each table, as well as the seating inside comprised of booths, tables and stools at the bar.
We waited about 10 minutes before we were seated in a booth in the back of the restaurant, which had a perfect view of the clear, glass window displaying the area where the beers are made.
The menu provided a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, but I stuck with water. I noticed Lumberyard offered tons of different types of burgers, sandwiches and mac 'n' cheese; I went with the latter. The portions are large and even the mac 'n' cheese I ordered became a little daunting after a few bites. Everyone else in my group stuck to finger foods in the form of different variations of burgers, which were thick and meaty. Their entrees came with a side of fries or onion rings, and they smelled delicious. With so much food, dessert just didn't cross our minds.
Eager to walk off our meals, we decided to visit the shops on other side of Downtown Flagstaff, just across the railroad tracks.
Downtown Flagstaff shopping
The sense of community in Flagstaff is evident. People seemed to know one another, and bumping into a friend or two was very common. For instance, as we were waiting for the light to change to cross the street, Lally a woman and her husband passed by; she immediately waved and greeted Travis' grandmother Lally. After saying their goodbyes, Lally told me that this is quite common. Although it might not sound that unusual, I was dumbstruck at the idea of running into friends or acquaintances from school or other events. Living in Goodyear, Ariz., this is something that doesn't usually happen to me.
Once the light had changed, we ventured down various streets, enjoying the cool weather. It was an overcast day, but you could still feel the warm sun brushing against your skin; and combined with the gentle breeze, the weather felt heavenly.
A quite popular stop we made was to the historic Weatherford Hotel, which was built in 1897. The hotel was offering free tacos that day, so we decided to head inside. As we entered the old-style building, the rickety stairs covered in a patterned carpet creaked under our feet. This was clearly different than a stay in a Hilton. A patio surrounds the building with small tables and just enough walking space to move around. From the second story, we were able to see the other businesses, and although I was enjoying taking in the sites, I was glad to be staying in the comforts of Travis' grandparents' home rather than a hotel like this. Making our way back down the rickety old stairs and past an old telephone booth, we made our way back out into the sunshine hoping to find something else that would blow us away.
What caught my eye next was Sweet Shoppe & Nuthouse. This shop had everything — and I mean everything. The variety of tasty treats that would take enormous willpower to ignore included flavored popcorn, different types of fudge, candy apples, flavored almonds, peanut butter buckets and gelato. For the adventurous, there were jars of cactus jelly and jalapeño jelly, which I have never tried in my life. As tempting as they sounded, I decided to avoid these interesting treats on this trip, but I won't rule it out in the future. We all left with at least one treat to munch on, and that is saying something considering we each had such a large meal earlier.
Tired from the fresh air and shopping, we headed home to settle in before our big plans for the next day, the Sky Ride! When we returned to Lally and Lynn's house, Travis and I were overwhelmed by the desire to sit outside on the back porch. It was so dark, you could see the stars and the moon. With the occasional train horn, it was fairly quiet, and it gave me time to think and appreciate the outdoors, something I feel many of us don't take the time to do.
Flag Folk Festival
The next day we headed to the San Francisco Peaks for the Sky Ride, but as we pulled up, we found it to be closed. It would not open again until the day after we would be leaving Flagstaff. We left disappointed, but we remembered on our way to the Peaks that we had passed the Flag Folk Festival. With our initial plans ruined, we decided to give the festival a try instead.
This festival allowed its visitors to experience music and food with a colorful environment. We had even passed a Civil War reenactment as we made our way in to the festival. With so much to see and the talent constantly changing, it was hard to choose where you wanted to be or how long to stay in fear you might miss something unforgettable.
First, we stopped at the Pioneer Museum Barn. Built in 1910, it featured a trio playing various instruments and singing a variety of genres. The small, red building surprisingly had great acoustics, and it was amazing to see people share their love for music with the community. After listening to a few songs, we ventured out to the next available area.
Hungrier than expected, Travis and I shared a hot dog and a large pickle — and then Italian shaved ice, which was fluffy rather than the usual crunchy, crushed shaved ice which I'm used to. After almost two hours of wandering around walking, it was time to leave. But the eating wasn't over yet! We headed straight to Lally and Lynn's house to grill some steaks before the sun went down.
Macy's European Coffeehouse
On our third day in Flagstaff, Travis and I decided we needed to visit Macy's European Coffeehouse. This unique coffee shop does not have a commercial feel but its own diverse style — and amazing beverages. I ordered an organic smoothie that was fruity and filling. Travis ordered a Cappuccino a la San Francisco with chocolate sprinkled on top. Macy's also serves breakfast and lunch with sweet treats that you are sure to love.
After having a delicious drink at Macy's, we said our goodbyes and headed home to the heat. Flagstaff served as the perfect, in-state getaway. Whether you're a local or from out of state, there is sure to be something truly breathtaking to observe during your stay in Flagstaff.

Ramirez takes down Taillon, Marauders
Yankees prospect strikes out 10, pitches six scoreless innings
By David Heck / Special to MLB.com | May 4, 2012 6:45 PM ET
Ramirez outdueled MLB.com's No. 8 prospect by yielding two hits over six inningsas Class A Advanced Tampa blanked the Bradenton Marauders, 2-0.
The Yankees prospect walked and fanned 10, marking his highest strikeout total since he whiffed 11 for Class A Charleston last June 1. After surrendering 11 runs over his first two starts (9.90 ERA), Ramirez has posted a 2.86 ERA in his last four outings.
"I was more consistent being ahead of the hitters all the time," Ramirez said through teammate Kelvin Castro, who translated for him. "I was getting ahead with my first pitch and working well. All the pitches were located down. I was more focused on throwing the ball down and being consistent with the pitches I wanted to throw."
Ramirez (2-4) allowed all four of his baserunners over the first three innings, issuing walk in the first and second before giving up back-to-back one-out singles in the third. He worked around those hits by striking out Mel Rojas and Alex Dickerson -- the start of a streak in which he set down 11 straight batters.
The 22-year-old right-hander struck out at least one batter in all six innings, giving him 31 punchouts in 32 frames this year. He also excelled at keeping the ball in the infield, generating four groundouts compared to one fly ball.
"My slider was the best pitch I had today," Ramirez said. "Before, it was the chageup. Today it was good, but the slider was better.
"I made my pitches well. If I continue doing that, I'm going to strike out a lot of guys always."
Taillon ended up allowing two runs on four hits over six innings, recording his second straight quality start. The 20-year-old right-hander's ERA stands at 1.76, which ranks ninth in the Florida State League.
"I paid attention to him a little bit," Ramirez said. "I liked the way he was pitching. But I think I was mixing all of my pitches and locating better."
Signed as a non-drafted free agent on June 10, 2007, Ramirez has always shown an ability to miss bats but not necessarily to prevent runs. Over 103 1/3 innings between Charleston and Tampa last year, he struck out 99 but put together a 5.66 ERA.
The native of the Dominican Republic also has had some injury woes, as elbow problems caused his season to end in mid-August in both 2010 and 2011.
This year, Ramirez said his goal is to end the season with Double-A Trenton. And how does he plan to accomplish that?
"Being consistent, game after game and pitch after pitch," he said. "Being consistent always."
Rob Segedin produced all of Tampa's offense with a two-run single off Taillon in the second.

Good day,
I want to buy a minilaptop for travel, but I am getting conflicting reports. The HP 1000 seems to have the fine keyboard, which is important to me because I teach online classes. Is there a better small out there with a good keyboard?
dd if=/dev/swc666 of=/dev/wyze
I just bought an HP 1030NR and its a wonderful little netbook. I highly recommend this for anyone who needs a light good looking netbook.
I strongly recommend the Acer Aspire One, ive setup and sold a few of them, Go for the one with the hard drive as opposed to the flash drive, it may be slower reading data, but 8Gb vs 120Gb is no contest !

Jimmy Fallon to Replace Jay Leno in 2014?
Even though it took place several years ago, we all remember the big late-night showdowns that saw Jay Leno stepping down from the throne of 'The Tonight Show,' only to develop his own series immediately before Conan O'Brien's hosting turn, which ultimately saw the whole thing implode and returned Leno where he started. Now, new rumors suggest that Leno will finally step down in 2014 to be replaced by his 'Late Night' successor Jimmy Fallon, but is there any truth to the new late-night war on the horizon?

What Are Opportunistic Infections?
April 10, 2015
Table of Contents
Basic Facts
While many viruses can be controlled by the immune system, HIV targets and infects the same cells in the immune system that are supposed to protect us from illnesses. These are a type of white blood cell called CD4 cells. HIV takes over CD4 cells and turns them into virus factories that produce thousands of viral copies. As the virus grows, it damages or kills CD4 cells, weakening the immune system.
When your immune system loses too many CD4 cells, you are less able to fight off infection and can develop serious illnesses, cancers, and neurological (nerve system) problems. These are called opportunistic infections (OIs) because they take advantage of the body's weakened defenses. In other words, they take an opportunity to infect you when your defenses are down. OIs can lead to hospitalization and disability, and are responsible for most of the deaths in people with AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome).
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) define a person living with HIV (HIV+) and with a CD4 cell count of 200 or less as having AIDS. People are also diagnosed with AIDS if they have or have had one of the AIDS-defining conditions. The CDC has developed a list of more than 20 opportunistic infections that are considered AIDS-defining conditions.
People with AIDS can rebuild their immune system with the help of HIV drugs just like people with HIV who do not have AIDS. Even if your CD4 cell count goes back above 200 or an OI is successfully treated, you will still have a diagnosis of AIDS. This does not necessarily mean you are sick or will get sick in the future. It is just the way the public health system counts the number of people who have had advanced HIV disease.
Preventing and Treating OIs
The best way to prevent OIs is to keep your immune system as strong as possible by taking HIV drugs as soon as you know you are HIV+. This allows the immune system to do its job of controlling infections.
If your CD4 cell count falls below 200, taking appropriate medication can prevent many OIs from developing. Taking medication to prevent disease is called "prophylaxis." For example, the CDC recommends that people living with HIV whose CD4 counts are below 200 take a daily antibiotic (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, also known as Bactrim or Septra) to avoid getting Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP).
Effective treatment options are available in most cases if you do develop an OI. The earlier you tell your health care provider about any symptoms, the sooner you can get diagnosed and treated, and the better your chances that the treatment will work and you will make a full recovery. After you recover, you may still need to get on-going maintenance treatment to keep the OI from coming back.
You may be able to stop prophylaxis or maintenance treatments if your CD4 cell count goes up and stays up. However, you should not stop any treatment without discussing it first with your health care provider.
OIs and Women
Some opportunistic infections occur differently in women than in men:
Dysplasia is a pre-cancerous condition that can occur in the female reproductive system. It is often more severe and difficult to treat in women living with HIV than in HIV-negative women. Untreated dysplasia can lead to cervical cancer, a life-threatening illness and an AIDS-defining condition. It is important for HIV+ women to have regular Pap smears and gynecological exams to identify infection, dysplasia, or cancer. For more information on women's health exams, see The Well Project's article "Caring for a Woman's Body."
In addition, HIV+ women should have regular appointments with their HIV provider to check their health. On-going medical care allows for the effective prevention or early diagnosis and treatment of OIs. Ultimately, taking your HIV drugs regularly and staying as healthy as you can -- in body, mind, and spirit -- is the best way to avoid opportunistic infections. It will keep your viral load lower and your CD4 count higher, thus making your immune system stronger and better able to fight off any type of infection.

The urban reinvestment and renewal efforts of the last half-century left a legacy of neglect and underinvestment in many American cities. Large-scale public housing projects and forced relocation programs created pockets of poverty in inner cities, concentrating the problems of low-income urbanites and not really doing much to effectively solve them. The concept of urban reinvestment has, understandably, developed a negative connotation over the years.
Now that pattern is shifting, and university architecture programs are leading the change. Through innovative community-focused studio projects, architecture programs are playing a new role in planning, designing, and building in some of the most resource-limited parts of American cities.
Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine neighborhood has undergone the sort of demographic and financial transitions experienced by a lot of former industrial areas in the Midwest and Northeast. From the height of industrial prowess and wealth in the early 20th century to the abandonment and gradual drain caused by the midcentury suburban boom to decades of poverty and underinvestment, Over-the-Rhine has devolved into an area of empty buildings, homeless residents, and widespread poverty. The neighborhood has the bones of a historic neighborhood but the innards of a very sick patient. Its population predominantly lives below the poverty line, and years of neglect have reinforced the cycle that's kept them there.
In an effort to disrupt that cycle, the Department of Architecture + Interior Design at Miami University decided to get involved. Based in the town of Oxford, Ohio, about 40 miles north of Cincinnati, the department began focusing some of its students' work on Over-the-Rhine in the late '90s, collaborating with community development corporations, low-income housing developers, and homeless shelters to design and build small-scale projects to serve a community that had for so long been underserved. Projects of the Over-the-Rhine DesignBuild Studio have included affordable housing renovations and storefront conversions, but also smaller-scale projects, such as constructing terraces and balconies on existing buildings. Since 2006, the studio has run a semester-long residency program with an interdisciplinary approach that helps the faculty's and students' knowledge base intersect with the knowledge and experiences of the Over-the-Rhine community members.
John Blake, DesignBuild Studio's coordinator of community projects, says that exposure helps the studio understand the community's needs. "We try not to come in preconceived like, 'Here's the project we want to do, and here's a good spot to do it, so we're going to do it for you,' " Blake says. "We try to really make sure we're being responsive, and I think that's a really good thing for most designers to understand."
It's also a good thing for other groups working in the area who are often the studio's clients. Over-the-Rhine Community Housing, one of the groups building and renovating affordable housing there, has been able to leverage design and planning work from the DesignBuild Studio to apply for federal historic tax credits. "We got professional-level work accomplished at no charge, and the students got real-life experience," says Mary Burke, Over-the-Rhine Community Housing's executive director.
Building relationships between the university students and the community is crucial for these types of design/build studios—and almost always mutually beneficial. The ecoREHAB program at Ball State University in Muncie, Ind., has been performing sustainable rehabilitation projects on vacant and abandoned houses across the city since 2009. Working closely with the Muncie Department of Community Development, the program identifies projects or sites in need of intervention, and then spends three semesters planning, designing, and constructing each project. At the end, they sell the project to a qualified low-income buyer and recycle the intentionally small profits back into the next year's project.
Jonathan Spodek, who runs the program, says the single-house approach is intended to focus efforts, but also to target the potential effect on neighborhood development. "We see this as a way the university and architecture students can get a ball rolling. We're certainly not in a position to take on a whole, large development program, but maybe we can be a catalyst or bring in resources or a design thinking that may not otherwise be there," Spodek says.
The program's work has encouraged other investment in the areas around their projects and he sees that momentum building into not just a single house rehab, but in some cases a neighborhood rehab.
But it's not only economic and neighborhood development that's on the line. The design/build program at the Tulane City Center at Tulane University in New Orleans is also focusing on building a kind of developmental fluency in the community. In the years after Hurricane Katrina, the city of New Orleans has been subjected to what many have called an overdose of planning. Groups, institutes, and design studios parachuted in to propose ways to help the city rebound. But few of those efforts lasted, and even fewer translated into long-term change in the city. In the months after Katrina, the university—and its architecture school in particular—set out to establish a community-focused curriculum that would not only plan projects, but also actually see them through with the neighborhoods as partners. Design/build projects led by the Tulane City Center could see those sorts of projects through in a city desperate for reconstruction.
"The idea was, we can show them what a whole development cycle looks like—even if the idea was modest—and demonstrate our value," says Dan Etheridge, associate director of Tulane City Center. "We understood that, at some stage, a lot of other people's contracts were going to run out and they were going to go home, and we were going to be working with our neighbors permanently."
Some of the center's most recent work includes a community center and performance venue for a Mardi Gras Indian group in the Ninth Ward, a 4-acre working farm for high school–age youth in New Orleans City Park, as well as a number of prototype houses for some of the poorer sections of the city. Working with the community, Etheridge says, creates an understanding on the ground about how residents can be effective participants in the process of urban reinvestment.
This community-focused partnership approach carried out on a small scale distinguishes these university-led efforts from the larger-scale top-down projects of the past. These studios are proving that putting the resources of a university on the ground to work in and with neighborhoods creates long-term community investment that can actually heal the wounds of the past. —Nate Berg
