JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Channel 4 has uncovered information that the continuing investigation into corrupt police officers could mean serious trouble for one of the highest ranking members of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Eyewitness News lead investigator Jennifer Waugh reported that prosecutors subpoenaed documents that belong to the No. 2 person at the department -- Undersheriff Joe Henry (pictured, left) -- by the U.S. Attorney's office.
A federal grand jury is investigating possible obstruction of justice at the sheriff's office in connection to the mysterious disappearance of a lie detector test form inside the polygraph room.
Police say the test was administered to an inmate named Derrick McKenzie who told detectives that Officer Aric Sinclair was corrupt months before the charges were investigated and he was removed from duty. Channel 4 was told that McKensie passed a polygraph test with flying colors, but the results vanished.
Sinclair is one of several JSO officer now serving a federal sentence for participating in a series of crimes including drug dealing, robbery and murder.
Olivia Harris -- an officer who administers lie detector tests for the department -- testified in front of the grand jury for a second time this week.
Former Officer William Baer told prosecutors that Harris told him she gave Joe Henry -- her direct supervisor at the time -- results of a lie detector test that she never got back.
Federal prosecutors say had they known about the test and what it revealed, it could have been critical to their case against former officers Sinclair, Karl Waldon and Jason Pough. All three are doing time for crimes committed while they were JSO deputies. Waldon is serving a life sentence for murdering Northside businessman Sami Safar.
Waugh, who has followed this police corruption case for two years, will continue following this investigation and report any developments.

Standing ovations come in all shapes and sizes: quick or slow; enthusiastic or grudging; complete or partial. Many's the time I've stood up just because I didn't fancy a vista of someone else's backside for two minutes.
Then there is the spontaneous, unanimous rush to the feet that catches you like an ocean wave. I've seen two in 2012. One was generated by Barry Humphries, who farewelled live performance this year with the splendidly mounted, wickedly funny Eat Pray Laugh! The other - every bit as deserved - was sparked by I'm Your Man (Sydney Festival/Belvoir), an affectionate yet probing documentary which drew its audience into sights, sounds and rhythms of a Bankstown boxing gym.
Kate Mulvany and Anne-Louise Sarks's Medea (Belvoir) deserved an ovation too. Many, I think, were too overcome by what they had experienced in this heartbreakingly intimate work to get to their feet.
Anthony Skuse's production of British writer Simon Stephens's Punk Rock deserved one too, but the ferocity of the play's climax - a mass shooting in a school - left us unsure how to show our appreciation.
The musicals got standing ovations, thanks to the opening night claque that leaps to its feet as if free tickets depended on it (which they probably do). Annie (Lyric Theatre) was solidly entertaining, with Anthony Warlow and Todd McKenney in great form. But Alan Jones as President Franklin D. Roosevelt? Surely the most perverse piece of stunt casting seen this - or any other - year.
A Chorus Line (Capitol Theatre) was impressively revived, though it couldn't land an emotional punch. Legally Blonde deserved its standing ovation for its unrelentingly upbeat appeal and a cynic-zapping performance from Lucy Durack.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang got one for the car. Some misguided souls even stood to applaud An Officer and a Gentleman, mercifully allowing others quicker egress from what was 2012's musical theatre lowlight.
Sydney's mainstage companies promised a lot in their season launches, though what landed on stage didn't always meet expectations. The Sydney Theatre Company scored with a stripped-back but emotionally filling Les Liaisons Dangereuses, directed by Sam Strong and featuring Pamela Rabe as a kind of human Death Star in a feathery blonde bob. By contrast, the STC's even more stripped-back production of Pygmalion let the proverbial baby out wiv the barfwater, and Simon Stone and Andrew Upton's adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's screenplay Face to Face proved a no less empty vessel.
A late highlight of the STC year came when Tadeusz Rozewicz's Mariage Blanc was slotted into the season in a cleverly realised production by director Sarah Giles and designer David Fleischer.
There were ups and downs at Belvoir, too. Ironically, most of the ups were in the Downstairs Theatre: the aforementioned I'm Your Man and Medea but also Food (by Steve Rodgers, co-directed by Kate Champion), Old Man (by Matthew Whittet, directed by Anthea Williams) and Don't Take Your Love to Town, Leah Purcell's stage biography of Ruby Langford Ginibi.
Upstairs, Simon Stone did impressive surgery on Eugene O'Neill's Strange Interlude, though his amputation of Arthur Miller's epilogue to Death of a Salesman - theatrically thrilling, I thought - provoked the wrath of the Miller estate.
Elsewhere, Psycho Beach Party, I Want to Sleep with Tom Stoppard (both at the Bondi Pavilion) and Sport for Jove's Hamlet (Seymour Centre) demonstrate an independent sector in rude good health.
And if you saw John Adam and Harriet Dyer in The School for Wives (Bell Shakespeare), Josh McConville in The Boys (Griffin Theatre), Colin Moody in Red (Ensemble), Justin Stewart Cotta in Syncopation (Concourse Theatre), Sara West in Belvoir's Babyteeth, Sean Taylor in Skylight (Ensemble) or Colin Friels and Patrick Brammall (Death of a Salesman), you saw some of this year's outstanding performances.

Chevy Avalanche
I love this truck and it is the Avalanche second one I've owned. It can get me anywhere I want to go, it works like a pick-up, rides like a Cadillac, hauls everything I need to haul and it looks just sooo cool. I think this is the perfect surf wagon.

Select Audio Settings for a DVR Cable Box
Last Updated: Fri, 18 Nov 2016 > Related Articles
Help for selecting between Two Channel (Stereo), Dolby Digital, and HDMI.
Press the SETTINGS button on the remote, then press the A button.
Use the arrow buttons to scroll to the Audio/Video preference and press SELECT.
Highlight the Audio Digital Output option and press SELECT.
Highlight either Dolby Digital, Two Channel Only, or HDMI and press SELECT.
See Audio Settings Explained below.
Press EXIT.
All steps complete.
Audio Settings Explained
There are 3 Audio settings to choose from:
- Two Channel Only
- Dolby Digital
- HDMI - This option appears only if the DVR cable box is connected to your system using the HDMI cable
Which one should you use? Select:
- Dolby Digital if you have a TV or unit that can receive and decode Dolby Digital AC3 surround sound, select this setting. Use either the Digital Audio, SP/DIF, or Optical Audio port on the back of the DVR.
- Two Channel Only if you want Left and Right (L / R) stereo or 2-channel Prologic digital audio from an RCA Digital Audio or Optical port.
- HDMI if the DVR is connected to the TV using the HDMI cable. HDMI delivers digital stereo. Note: If you keep the HDMI connected, you can still set up either the Two Channel Only RCA / Optical audio cables and setting, or the Dolby Digital RCA / Optical cables and setting. When set up, the Two Channel Only or Dolby Digital cable connections and Audio setting simply disable the audio portion of the HDMI stream.
Where are the RCA and Optical Audio OUT Ports on a Cable Box?
The image below shows the back of a cable box. The red boxes show the RCA and Optical Audio Out connections. Highlighted are:
- Three sets of stereo L / R (left / right) audio Out ports - they use audio cable connectors called "RCA"
- One Digital Audio Out port - it uses a special digital coax cable with an "RCA"type plug
- One Optical Audio Out port - it uses an "optical audio" digital cable and connector
- The ports are grouped.
- See how the first column labeled ARCHIVE is boxed off? That means the Video and two L/R audio ports in the box are a "set."
- See the box labeled OUT 1? It has a Video and L/R "set" too. But the Video could also use the other audio L/R or Digital Audio ports in the box as well. Likewise, the HDTV (Y/Pb/Pr) video could use any of the audio ports in the box.
- The Optical Audio Out port can be used with either the Video or Y/PB/Pr ports in the OUT 1 box.

If Nokia and Microsoft really want this phone to succeed they need to advertise the hell out of it. One of the reasons why WP7 adoption in US has been lukewarm at best is the lack of advertising.
2. arcq12 (Posts: 733; Member since: 13 Oct 2011)
Agreed. They to come up with better gimmicks in their commercials and ads.

i dont agree with the tone of the article. The 710 has been a hot seller since the day it was released. It may not be "topping any charts" on a national level, but for T-Mobile, i bet cash that its in the top 3 for the last few months. The only phones that sell as good as the 710 are the SGS1 and SGS2.
The price point is phenomenal. If they can get the 900 into the reps hands for free like they are trying to do, u will start to see a big WP7 push since the reps will be comfortable with it. Advertising was a big reason for the lack of adoption so far, but the bigger reason was the sales reps. Reps had such a bad taste from windows 5/6xx that they automatically assumed wp7 was the same and refused to give it a chance. I cant tell you how many times ive heard "oh you dont want that, it runs windows" by a sales rep that never spent 2 seconds with the device. If MS/Nokia can fix that, they will be off and racing.
Besides, the last chart we looked at with sales numbers had WP7 making the largest gains percentage wise month over month. Yea, it may not equal out to a large chunk of the worldwide marketshare.. but hey, just 3 years ago android was barely a blip on the radar and was out for a year before it made any traction with the Droid series.

gotta agree with you.

One of the very rare instances I agree with your remixfa. But I think we've always agreed on that the obvious bias sales reps have needs to stop.

22. clarkja72 (Posts: 5; Member since: 17 Dec 2010)
I totally agree with remixfa, in regards to the sales reps. I 've been in the cellular business for 7 years now, and I can attest to sales reps pushing what they are comfortable with. Currently that happens to be Android and iPhone. I was a Windows Mobile user for 4 years, and have been a Windows Phone user since its debut. I know it all boils down to preference, but until someone has tried Windows Phne 7, they should not bash it the way that it frequently is. I try to show the sales reps at my store some of the advantages of Windows Phone, because honestly, everyone doesn't need(want) an Adroid or iPhone. There are many times when Windows Phone would be a better solution for the customer, but if you're a biased sales person, you're doing them(the customer) a disservice.
23. rsiders (Posts: 1090; Member since: 17 Nov 2011)
Very true. I was in the T-Mobile store when this idiot rep was giving these customers the rundown on the HTC Radar and Lumia 710. He told the people that the Radar had 16gb of storage and after I kindly and respectfully corrected him he insisted that it always had 16gb so I left the guy alone with his bad information. Most cases, the users of WP platform know way more about it than the reps do.
27. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
alas, i am a crappy sales rep. I won an HD7 many moons ago, and have modded it to all hell and back. Currently my daughter uses it as her personal media/game device (how many 5 yr olds do you know that have a smartphone? ha!). I've been trying to get my wife to try it and as long as I've had that phone I have not been able to get her to take it for a day. She will love it if she did, but she refuses. She was apparently traumatized by the old windows 5/6xx devices and refuses to believe it could be better.. lolz.
Thats why my first opinion on WP7 is that they should not have named it windows.. too much negative feedback automatically.
5. vvelez5 (Posts: 623; Member since: 29 Jan 2011)
Finally official two weeks before its release. That seriously took too long. I now have to wait for my upgrade but at least now I know when I can go play with it at the store. Can't wait to see this advertising campaign.
7. Wolves11 (Posts: 10; Member since: 21 Mar 2012)
Being a sales rep for a phone carrier, i can totally agree with the perception in the market of WP7. Having used one extensively for a time after the mango update, i was very impressed with it, and very excited to see some new phones coming with high end hardware, like camera, screen, and processors. Now if we can just get the CDMA carriers to show Wp7 some love....
8. vvelez5 (Posts: 623; Member since: 29 Jan 2011)
Just wanted to add something.On Nokia's website it says the White model will be available April 22nd. So if you want the white one, it isn't too far away.
13. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
if i had a choice, id go for the cyan one. It soooo catches my eye. lolz
26. andyboi_ph (Posts: 101; Member since: 26 Mar 2012)
agree... cyan is a cool color
28. vvelez5 (Posts: 623; Member since: 29 Jan 2011)
I'm still torn myself not sure which one to get whether it be the white, black or cyan. I have to see them first hand to decide.
9. Phoneguy007 (Posts: 218; Member since: 02 Jun 2011)
I got a chance to play with this phone last week and it's cool, I really like it! I think since windows hired that new guy with a strong marketing background this phone should be a hit

The Samsung Focus-Flash is a Windows Phone and it freezes a lot. My friend's store is at a 40% return rate. They've tried hard to get Windows going, but they're going to only have it for special order.
Windows needs those low prices on a 2-year contract to even be viable. And clearly the lack of specs can hurt some of these models.
The 900 looks great, especially in white, but will it's tech be viable for 2 years or is Windows going to have to fragment?
15. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
The tech will be viable. The only splinter that i see happening is when WP8 comes. Then you will have tablets that can or can not have PC compatibility depending on the tech thats used in it.
As far as the phone goes, I dont see any major reason for concern. Much like iOS, the only advantage WP7/8 will receive from dual core is more advanced gaming, better battery if optimized right, and maybe better voice functionality. Unless your an avid mobile gamer, its not something to worry about.
17. DigitalJedi_X2 (banned) (Posts: 346; Member since: 30 Jan 2012)
It will. Microsoft already announced that all of the current second generation Windows Phone handsets will receive the Apollo/Windows 8 update. And Windows handsets do not need dual core processors to run flawlessly.

DUDLEY Council chiefs have thanked more than 1,500 residents who completed a consultation on the future of the borough's children's centres.
The consultation, which ran from November 12 to Friday January 10, attracted 1,528 completed forms plus a 4,118-name petition.
After the plan sparked outrage from parents who use the facilities - Councillor David Sparks, leader of Dudley Council, pledged part-way through the consultation not to close any of the centres for the foreseeable future - despite working against a backdrop of reduced government cash to run the service.
And now all views have been collected he now hopes to find more effective ways to deliver and manage children's centre services in the future.
Cllr Sparks said: "Meaningful engagement with residents is a fundamental priority for us as a community council so I would thank everyone who has taken part in the children's centres consultation.
"Armed with this feedback we can now go back to the draft proposals and put forward alternative, innovative draft plans to make the £2.3million savings required due to the significant cut back in government funding."
Councillor Tim Crumpton, Dudley's cabinet member for children's services, said: "We are delighted to have received so much feedback in our consultation around the future of children's centres.
"This is an unprecedented response to a single issue consultation and shows how important it is that we get this right.
"We have already made the commitment to keep the 20 centres open and we will now look to put forward proposals to the make the savings required due to the cutbacks in national funding we face."
Draft proposals around a new model to deliver the service will go before a meeting of the authority's overview and scrutiny board on Monday (January 20) before a decision is taken by the council's cabinet on February 12.

Quite a lot of the filler is terrible, Moms Alliance anyone?
But c'mon, Kakashi and Gai filler has been awesome! We get to see fights that the manga skipped, the manga isn't perfect either.
Animation quality sometimes sucks because not enough people watch it to get them enough money to make it good, instead everyone stops watching and complains about necessary filler.
If you'd all just watch it, it would get better.
But no, complain.
I'd like to see anyone who moans about it make better episodes every week, organise everything, get the money to do so and have people actually enjoy it.

An ageing church will be revamped after a former member of its congregation left money to the building on her death.
Scaffolding has already gone up around Wheldrake Church, on Church Lane, as work to repair its roof and level its floor begins.
Builders were able to carry out the work the church has needed for five years following the death of Mary Robinson, 85, in 2012.
Mrs Robinson, of Mount Pleasant Farm, Wheldrake, left half her business to the church and the other half to St Leonard's Hospice.
Rev Ian Kitchen said: "Neither of us wanted to run a farm, so we sold it and got the money from that.
"It was enough to allow us to do some building work that has been needed for a long, long time like replacing the roof.
"We are very fortunate to get the money.
"It's a huge bonus and a fantastic position to be in."
Work is expected to be completed in September and the church will remain open throughout.

Sniveller is term used for some who has rat like qualities. One who is a sniveller will usually have annoying qualities. Such qualities include a lisp , and thinking that you know a lot about a topic which you don't The sniveller usually walks around places with his neck and face toward the ground.

Julian: Man that David kid is such a sniveller.

We hold meetings every other Thursday in Grove Hall @ 3:30 in Room 208. At each meeting we have presentations from speakers that are interested in recruiting our students. We also participate in other recruiting events that take place every other year (the career expo & public accounting night). Public Accounting night is an event where mainly Accounting firms set up in the CUB and try and recruit students. Every year we host an etiquette dinner in order to teach students how to eat at a business professional event. We also go on a few tours such as the Yuengling brewery and this year Harley Davidson. As for community service, the Accounting Club was essential in bringing the VITA program to Shippensburg. VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) is a program that students train for over their winter break that allows them to do taxes for low income people for free. This gives students real world experience and the satisfaction of knowing they helped those in need.

A9 Tv, Kocaeli TV, 22 April 2011
Allah teaches us what is lawful and unlawful. Allah teaches moral values. Moral values stem from what Allah says. What Allah said is lawful at that time is lawful. If He says it is unlawful, then it is unlawful. That is how it is with foods, for instance. When He says a thing is lawful, then it is lawful, and if He says it is unlawful, then it is unlawful. It is what Allah says. In other words, this judgment is not a judgment that comes from outside us. It is Allah's judgment. It is Allah Who will impose or lift a provision, insha'Allah.
People must avoid tensions in Turkey. Human nature has a predisposition toward conflict. Allah described man as "oppressive and ignorant" in a verse. There are many hadiths of our Prophet (saas) on that subject. What do the angels say? They ask whether our Lord will create human beings to shed blood and spread corruption in the world. And Allah says, "You cannot know. But I know." So there is a tendency toward conflict, rather than peace, in the human soul. Toward war. There are few people who espouse peace right to the end of the line. They always want conflict. They support peace for a while, but then it all goes up. Bruce Lee's films and that kind of thing are like that. He first speaks of peace and brotherhood, but then he leaves not a man standing. That tendency exists in many people's souls. We must be very careful. It would be terribly dangerous to try to set whole communities and societies against one another, to encourage that aggressive part of human nature. Europe and America will not just sit back and watch if there is a civil war in Turkey. The UN and NATO and all of them would get involved. They would tear Turkey apart, may Allah forbid. They would crush both sides. That is how it has always been. It happened in Iraq and Libya. It has always been like that in other countries. America, NATO and the UN say, "Since you are fighting among yourselves, we will get involved and save you both." Then they drop tens of thousands of tons of bombs. They use up all their bomb stocks and then place order for more from the factories and encourage new production. And they try out new weapons. It is those poor countries that pay the price. Both sides are devastated. They both regret their actions, but by then it is too late.

Drivers using U.S. 301 in the area of Citra near the Alachua-Marion County line should be alert for smoky conditions, the Florida Highway Patrol reports.
The FHP is monitoring conditions after a prescribed burn on private property earlier Sunday. The fire is out, but there may be residual smoke in the area.
Visibility may deteriorate quickly due to smoke/fog type conditions especially during the night and early morning hours, the FHP reports.
Motorists should reduce their speed and use low-beam headlights if they encounter these conditions.

Nurses at Kaiser hospital in San Rafael say staffing levels too low
Marin Independent Journal, 12/20/12
Nurses at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in San Rafael, and 20 other Kaiser hospitals from Santa Rosa to Fresno, picketed Wednesday to protest what they say is "persistently inadequate nurse staffing."
The action mounted by the California Nurses Association/National Nurses United comes as Kaiser is attempting to cut its nurse staffing.
Gay Westfall, senior vice president of human resources for Kaiser's hospitals in Northern California, stated in a press release, "We have reached out to CNA to have a conversation about aligning staffing with the current numbers of patients in our hospitals, which is declining for all the right reasons — quality, service and improved utilization. We have not discussed layoffs."
Westfall went on to say that Kaiser is "seeing an ongoing shift in care delivery from the hospital to other settings such as outpatient clinics, and from those clinics to patients' homes, over the phone and online."
She said Kaiser has a surplus of hospital nurses every day at certain medical centers and departments throughout Northern California and needs to supplement staffing in others. But union representatives dispute this and say Kaiser has declined to identify which hospitals it believes are overstaffed.
Colleen Gibbons, one of the nurses who picketed in San Rafael Wednesday, said, "We're here to provide excellent care to our patients, and Kaiser keeps understaffing us and making it more difficult to provide that care."
Gibbons said nurses at the Kaiser hospital in San Rafael have filled out 300 Assignment Despite Objection forms so far this year — 69 during the month of November. Nurses file the forms to document formal objections to an unsafe, or potentially unsafe, patient care assignment.
Julie Puccinelli, a medical-surgical nurse who has worked at the San Rafael hospital for five years, said, "It's a way to protect ourselves when we feel an assignment jeopardizes our license." Puccinelli said she had filed "a couple of" ADO's herself.
Puccinelli said the patients she is seeing are sicker than in previous years and need more care than ever. She said that may be because Kaiser is "trying not to admit as easily as they used to" and is sending patients home sooner.
Pat Tomasello, a nurse who works in the intensive care unit of Kaiser's San Rafael hospital, said, "It's harder to get admitted into the hospital. It's harder to stay as a patient, and the mantra now is, 'Your family can take better care of you at home.' That is provided you have a family that knows how and is available."
In her statement, Westfall said, "Our nurse staffing levels comply with, and sometimes exceed, state-mandated staffing requirements at our hospitals, as we increase staffing as necessary for patients based on the complexity of their medical condition."
But Puccinelli said, "Staffing tends to be based on census and numbers rather than the acuity of patients.
Wanda Jones, president of San Francisco's New Century Healthcare Institute, said she believes some Kaiser hospitals may be overstaffed; but she said Kaiser is also preparing for Medicare reimbursement cuts to hospitals, which is mandated under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as "Obamacare."
Jones said the law will establish tougher criteria for admitting patients to hospitals and penalize hospitals that readmit patients for the same diagnosis within 30 days.
"If the hospital does, it won't get reimbursed for it," Jones said.
But nurse Gibbons says Kaiser's push to reduce nurse staffing is a "knee-jerk reaction" to Obamacare. She said Kaiser is doing very well financially now and will gain new members due to the health care reform act.

YOUNG entrepreneurs will have their work cut out for them next month as they embark on a daunting business venture with just £10 in their pockets.
Pupils from Commonweal School, Nova Hreod and Kingsdown will be launching their own mini start-ups as part of Young Enterprise's Tenner challenge.
Under the scheme, around 100 secondary school students in Swindon along with thousands of others across the country will receive £10 each with specific instructions to invest it in their business and make a profit throughout March.
Some 60 students gathered at Commonweal School for the Tenner launch yesterday morning, where teams met with and tested their business plans on industry experts from NatWest, John Lewis and Excalibur.
Commonweal students Megan Rowland, 14, and Tom Newton, 13, will start their own baking company next month. They will concoct their own treats but also order pastries from other businesses, which they will then sell at a competitive price to their classmates.
"We will try to sell cakes and bakery items for less money than the canteen," said Megan. "But we will make sure they taste and look good. Whatever we get at the end we have decided to donate 50 per cent of it to Prospect Hospice. So we want to make as much as we can. I took part in Tenner last year and we made quite a good profit from cakes."
Jordon Benjamin, 14, a Year 9 pupil at Kingsdown School will run Diet Delights, a healthy cakes company, along with his five teammates. A keen baker, Jordon is confident they will be successful.
"We came up with the idea of cakes but thought we could make something a bit healthier with less sugar," he said. "I'm quite excited about it. And it will give me an excuse to do more cooking."
Opting for a more ambitious concept, Commonweal students Ryan Davis, 13, Maisie Clark, 13, and Keiren Gibbs, 14, will produce t-shirts featuring their own original designs. They will donate a share of their profits to Help for Heroes.
"We have one design at the moment but we would like to have three," said Ryan.
"We wanted to stand out and do something different. I'm quite nervous about it since it's the first time we are doing something like this."
Hannah Cook, manager of Young Enterprise said the challenge would boost pupils' employability skills, test their business acumen and empower them at a later stage in a tough job market.
"It really makes a difference to their employability," she said. "Pupils choose to take part, it's something different and outside of the normal curriculum. It's also fun for them.
"For some it is the first time they will realise that working hard equals money. It allows children to think differently because it is real; it's real money."
National winners will be announced at the end of the one-month challenge.

Ask the Experts: Budget-Friendly Tipsby Dana Angelo White in Ask the Experts, October 26, 2011
We're always reminding you that a healthy lifestyle doesn't have to break the bank. How about some expert tips to back that up? We polled nutrition experts across the country for their best tips for eating smart and exercising on a budget.
Brown Bag It
Our September Brown Bag Challenge was a huge success. If you missed it, it's never too late to start bringing your lunch to work or school. Annette Schottenfeld, MBA, RD, CDN, President of Nett Nutrition, Inc. says:
"Packing your own lunch not only saves money, but also guarantees much needed nutrition to get you through the day. Select lean meats and veggies on whole grain bread with a side of seasonal fruit for a delicious and satisfying lunch. Additional savings can also be had by making your own single-serve snack bags."
Packing up single servings goes for dinner leftovers too. Karen Ansel, MS, RD, CDN tells us:
"Wrap leftovers into single-serve portions immediately after dinner. Not only will you save money because you're not throwing out perfectly good food, you'll have a single serve, healthy homemade meal in the freezer waiting for you next time you have no time to cook."
Shop Smart
How you grocery shop can make or break your budget. Start by making a shopping list and sticking to it. Jessica Fishman Levinson, MS, RD, CDN, founder of Nutritioulicious reminds us not to forget good old coupons:
"Don't be shy to use coupons when shopping. But be careful – just because you get a coupon for something doesn't mean it's a healthy item. Many people are enticed by coupons for less healthy foods that they wouldn't normally buy."
Food and nutrition writer Sharon Palmer, RD also warns shoppers to steer clear of processed junk:
"The more simple and unprocessed a food, the less expensive—and more healthful—it is, typically. That's because it requires less food production to get from farm to fork. Less production steps mean less money and resources went into that food, which means a lower price at the check-out."
Want to get the healthy nutrients like omega-3 and vitamin D from fish but think it will bust your weekly budget? Kate Geagan, MS, RD author of Go Green Get Lean, shows us it's possible:
"Some of the very best options we have are in the INNER AISLES of the grocery store: Canned sardines, anchovies, pink salmon, mussels, clams and oysters are relatively cheap and are available nearly everywhere and to everyone at all economic levels. Make a salmon burger or a salmon melt from canned salmon or mash 2 sardines into your favorite tomato sauce recipe to add a hefty dose of flavor and nutrition to your next pasta night. Frozen fish filets are usually significantly cheaper than fresh, and when they go on sale you can load up your freezer: No waste, no spoilage"
Steer Clear of Supplements
We've been warning you about the potential dangers of taking popular supplements and they also cost a pretty penny. Lisa Dixon, MBA, RD says put food first:
"Focus on getting your nutrition from food, not supplements. Place more emphasis on food, rather than nutrients. By choosing whole foods naturally high in nutrients you should be able to get your daily needs from food alone. Supplements can be expensive (and sorry to say, a waste of money)."
Spice Things Up
The right seasoning can make all the difference for a light but flavorful meal. Kait Fortunato uses spices to liven up her meals on the cheap:
"You can buy cheaper cuts of meat and spice it correctly to create unique flavor. Spices last a long time and are healthier than dressings or marinades."
Where's the Beef?
Beth Stark RD, LDN uses this tip to cut down on money and bulk up portions:
"I replace some of the meat in my favorite recipes with drained and rinsed canned beans in order to stretch portions, reduce cost and boost the nutrient quality of the dish. I add black or pinto beans to enchiladas and taco meat, cannellini beans to lean ground turkey for pasta and meat sauce and extra kidney beans to chili."
You can also save by ditching meat all together once a week – opt for Meatless Mondays.
Move It
Let's not forget about exercise. There are plenty of ways to burn calories without burning cash.
Sheila Campbell PhD, RD points out the importance of having someone else hold you accountable:
"Get an exercise buddy. You are accountable to your buddy to show up when and where you promised and to exercise for the time you agreed on."
The gym isn't the only option. Kathleen A. Siegel, RD, CDN Co-founder, NutritionBabes, LLC says:
"Exercise classes at a gym can empty your pockets quickly. A budget-friendly solution is to borrow exercise DVD's from your local library. Other options are starting a DVD swap with friends and rotating with each other for a greater selection. You can also check out your cable guide for classes to take at home on your own TV. No gym or studio needed!"
How about forgetting about indoor exercise and getting outside? Maria C. Mahar MA RD CD suggests:
"Visit your local park or playground; admission is free! Not only will you and your family be able to participate in calorie-shedding activities such as walking, hiking and cross country skiing, but parks are also a wonderful opportunity to meet up with friends, make new ones and bond with your family. Being active outdoors lifts your mood, helps you think more positively and feel more internal calm thus reducing your stress level."
Get Baking
Pound for pound, store-bought baked goods can be some of the priciest items in your kitchen. Sherri Nordstrom Stastny, PhD, RD, CSSD, LD says:
"Dig out your bread machine. Making bread from scratch is a huge cost saving (and tastes better) than store-bought bread."
Don't have a bread machine? You can get a decent one for less than $75 and you can recoup that money after a couple of months of buying less commercially-prepared breads. You can also save moo-lah buy storing bread in the freezer — when lightly toasted you'd never know the difference, but you will notice that you're wasting less bread.

On Sunday, almost 2000 people participated in Toronto's first annual Slut Walk. (Yes, you read that name right.)
The march was in response to a January speech a police officer gave to students at Toronto's York University, in which he told the audience, "Women should avoid dressing like sluts" in order not to be victimized.
According to the marchers, the purpose of the walk is "to take the power" away from the word slut, and to make the point that women deserve protection no matter how they dress.
While some of the marchers did wear clothing that would be considered slutty, the Slut Walk would have probably been a lot more of a spectacle of skin if it took place in a city with warmer weather than Toronto. Read on to check it out.

Once upon a Time, Channel Seven, 7.30pm
ONE thing I'm really enjoying about Once upon a Time is its supercharged girl power. While knights and princes lend a hand, the story and action remain firmly among an ever-expanding cast of feisty females. Regina, of course, has always dominated, and tonight has much to do, not least cleaning up the mess the blokes have made when Daniel comes back to life, but not as we know him. Meanwhile, the ferocious foursome of Emma, Snow, Aurora and Mulan unearth (a living) Captain Hook from a pile of corpses and decide to make use of him. There's no doubt this is a remarkably silly series, but that's all part of the fun. What myth, fable or childhood tale will be dismantled and reimagined next? It's certainly an infinitely rich resource, and there's real pleasure in watching Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz take everything they learnt working on Lost and employ it here in a very different form.
Redfern Now: series finale, ABC1, 8.30pm
RACHEL Perkins directs the final instalment in this sensational series. The story, written by Steven McGregor, sums everything up beautifully, literally and figuratively. One of the distinguishing features of Redfern Now has been its ability to provide a really complex, multifaceted examination of issues, and that has never been more true than it is here. Local cop Aaron has featured in several tales to date and tonight it's his turn to take centre stage. He's a wonderful character: homely and daggy, placid and world-weary; the actor, Wayne Blair, is one of those people who can convey a world through his stillness. He's partnered tonight by an excellent Stephen Curry, and if this tale is bleaker than most, at its heart is the theme that has run through all these stories: you get knocked down, you get back up again.
A Current Affair, Channel Nine, 6.30pm
THE continued appeal of A Current Affair (and Today Tonight, for that matter) has become something of a mystery to those of us who only see either the promos or The Hamster Wheel taking the mickey. But watch a few episodes and you realise ACA has created its own universe, one in which millions of people obviously feel very comfortable. It always looks bright and airy - ACA long ago abandoned the austere sets of a conventional news or current affairs program, just as it long ago abandoned actual news or current affairs. The show's visual style clearly says ''entertainment'', and like any good drama, ACA pushes a kind of heightened reality in which petty misdemeanours become public outrages and minor mishaps major tragedies. From the blaring headlines and blood-red backdrop to the slightly hysterical timbre of the journalists' voices, everything is telling us this is important, even when - or especially when - it's really not. There is also a clear formula to the stories and the story mix, which revolve around two powerful human emotions: fear and greed. Kids out of control, crazy drivers, ruthless scammers - that's the fear factor. Then there's the pretty stuff to close out the 30 minutes, usually a shameless advertorial for an indulgence or lifestyle enhancement to bring our blood pressure down, and have us dreaming of the day when we, too, will be rich, thin and beautiful.
Getaway Summer, Channel Nine, 7.30pm
IT'S been a long time since I watched Getaway, and what a pleasant surprise it was to tune in again. I remembered the show as a rather overwrought advertorial for destinations that looked either too dull or too plastic ever to tempt me. But a recent revisit proved the memories wrong. The presenters were enthusiastic, certainly, but not excessively so. Even the ebullient Jules Lund came across as excited but likeable. There was a good mix of interesting holidays for a range of budgets, some of which were clearly aspirational but many very doable.

FREE parking could help a flood-hit town get back on its feet faster say beleaguered traders.
Shoppers and traders can reap the benefits of free parking in Upton's two main car parks for most of this month. The concessions began on Saturday (March 1) and run until Sunday, March 23 thanks to Malvern Hills District Council plans to boost business after the crippling floods.
Upton was well-protected by flood defences but roads into the town were underwater, blocking main routes in and out of the town, including over the bridge from the A4104. Soldiers from the Royal Irish Regiment ferried people across the water from Holly Green and Ryall in troop carrier vehicles between Saturday, February 15 to Wednesday, February 19. The 'buses' ran between 8am and 5.30pm each day, transporting in the region of 100 people each day.
But after the troops departed, the district council has stepped in as a bulwark for business with free parking at Hanley Road Car Park (202 spaces and six disabled spaces) and New Street car park (15 spaces and two disabled spaces). The cost of parking at either car park would normally cost 50p for up to an hour, £1 for two hours, £2 for up to four hours and £3 for up four hours plus with a £1.50 charge between 6pm and midnight while a seven day ticket would cost £9.
Peter Webb, the mayor of Upton, who met Prime Minister David Cameron during last month's visit, said the town council had been keeping in close contact with Malvern Hills District Council since the floods began. The leader of the district council, Cllr David Hughes, had been to visit to see for himself the devastation. Cllr Webb said: "The defences worked but the bridge was out and Hanley Road was out. The only way out of the town was up Tunnel Hill, making Upton a cul-de-sac with only one way in and one way out. The takings in some shops are down by 40 to 50 per cent. As a result of the close contact the town council has had with the district council, bless their cotton socks, they decided to help us a free parking concession for March."
Annette Keyworth of Value for Money, chairman of the Upton Tourism and Trade Association, said: "This is a good thing and we appreciate all their helps and it was in response to lobbying from businesses but they need to put some signs up."

We ShareRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I wander about the land, never settling permanently in one place.
An unconventional way of life I live, at my own pace.
In my time, I struggled with a notorious and controlling mama flower.
And bloomed when you let me entertain you in my finest hour.
With the help of a small rodent who will point the way,
My system was the first to assist you with records and instruments throughout your day.
Although you might think I am harmless as I flit from here to there,
I can strip and weaken giants of their green covering, which they may wear.
When I am done, I leave behind a path of destruction and barren despair.
I was given by a famous dame with raven hair and beautiful violet eyes,
To an eccentric king who is known for telling you to beat it and often wears a disguise.
I can appear quite robotic in a mysterious and scientific realm and view,
And am quite the hostess during movie intermissions for which I was created to do.
My final clue is that of a short lived charter member who fought for justice in a league.
I am very good at blending in which adds to my intrigue.
If you have solved each of the clues I have given without err,
Tell me now; what is the name that we all share?
HintThere are many different forms of me.
AnswerI am a nomad, a system and a moth you see,
An elephant, a robot and a comics super heroine; that's me.
My name is quite clear you must agree,
I am all the above for I am a Gypsy!
Per Dictionary: Gypsy: One inclined to a nomadic, unconventional way of life.
Gypsy Rose Lee, the famous striptease artist, struggled with her mother, Mama Rose, whose name has become synonymous with "the ultimate show business mother." The musical Gypsy: A Musical Fable was based on her memoirs and contained many songs that became popular standards, including "Let Me Entertain You."
Gypsy was the first modern document preparation system, using the modern style of graphical user interface (in which the mouse was used to initiate commands), and would be familiar to any user of a modern personal computer. Per Thesaurus, records and instruments are listed as documents.
In North America the European Gypsy moth has spread through the NE United States and adjacent parts of Canada, West to Wisconsin and South to North Carolina. The Asian variety has begun to damage areas of the Pacific Northwest. Gypsy moths defoliate millions of acres of trees in the United States yearly; repeated infestations weaken and kill the trees.
Michael Jackson is known as the King of Pop. In 1983 his hit "Beat It" reached #1 on the U.S. Singles Pop Chart. He is also known for his eccentric life style. Gypsy is the name of the elephant given to Michael Jackson from Elizabeth Taylor. He named the elephant, Gypsy, after what Elizabeth Taylor was wearing. Elizabeth Taylor received the title "Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire" by Queen Elizabeth in 1999, and may now be addressed as "Dame Elizabeth."
Gypsy is one of the robot characters on the television series Mystery Science Theater 3000. Gypsy normally only appeared during the host segments part of the series, but once took a seat in the theater to watch one of the movies.
Gypsy was first introduced during the "Justice League Detroit" era in the 1980s, which also included such characters as Vibe, Vixen, Martian Manhunter, and Elongated Man. She was created to cash in on the look of pop star Cyndi Lauper, which was popular at the time. She was also a charter member of The Justice League Task Force and the first incarnation of the short-lived Conglomerate. Gypsy will become an official member of the Birds of Prey during the One Year Later event. She has chameleon abilities, which enable her to blend into her background.
Note: There are other things that share the name "Gypsy" which have not been listed.

- Appreciates the gender imbalance in cycling and challenges Dan Cook to do something about it!
As a teacher, Sally took all kinds of young people into the outdoors whenever an opportunity arose. She says she revelled in the achievement and growth that, given good leadership, she saw developing in front of her. That in turn led to Sally providing leadership training for others.
Leadership is Sally's specialist area and together with Phil Berry, she now runs her own company Trekwild, training people to lead others in mountain biking as well as hill walking, remote camping, remote first aid, skiing and aspects of trip organisation.
Sally believes mountain bike leader training, particularly the CTC way, shares a lot of skills and ideas with other disciplines; this transference has both informed and enhanced her leadership in other areas.
Women's mountain biking, like all outdoor activities, is affected by lots of barriers, perceived and very real. Sally says it's been her privilege to help a number of women starting out on that path, developing skills and confidence and raising their own understanding of and aspirations in mountain biking.

I admit that the track I heard, Batallé, is probably the catchiest track they've got. It's my favorite among what I've come across, but it just barely grazes what their overall style is.
Give it a listen anyway!
A steady bass line is all you need in any Reggae based track to find some success. These guys win points with talented riffs, catchy vocals (regardless of whether or not they're understood), and the ability to change up the track right where it needs it.
There's meaning behind the lyrics too. The literal translation would be 'I Battled' and is about a struggle for what you want. Kudos for originality and a memorable chorus in a single song.
Oh, and the song is free right there through Soundcloud for the time being, so grab it if you want. If you really enjoyed it though, consider supporting/buying it.

It'll probably throw you off, and sometimes that shock is a good thing. Sadly, that shock hasn't gotten them as popular as they could be.
That, and their debut album (stream) is pretty boring. Sure, there's a song here and there that kinda stand out, but kinda isn't really enough to survive on. After listening to this sampler though, I'm pretty sure they could go places if they just keep their direction. I'll be keeping an eye out for 'em.

Aric Almirola is not a name that you are accustomed to seeing at the top of the Cup Series point standings. However, after a strong 2012 finish that produced two Top 10s in the last four races, Almirola was poised to take things to a new level.
"I've been real encouraged and I was really excited this whole off-season to get going this year," said Almirola on his fast 2013 start. "I knew what we were capable of after the last 10 races of last year."
After three races, Almirola has Richard Petty's famous No. 43 solidly in 10th place in the Cup Series standings and he feels that the team chemistry is the key to their improvement.
"We have just really clicked, and our chemistry has been really strong," continued Almirola on his relationship with crew chief Todd Parrott. "We have fast race cars every week, and right from the very get go, he's understood me and I've understood him, and we just know how to get our cars where we want them throughout the weekend for the race."
Despite the early success, Almirola is keeping things real and knows that they still have some work to do before he can be a title contender.
"It would be crazy for us to think that we are a championship team at this moment," explained Almirola. "I do feel like we are on the cusp of being a consistent Top 10 team."
So with a firm grasp on reality, what does the RPM driver feel that they need to do to get to that next level?
"We've just got to keep being smart and take what the races will give us," explained the young driver. "If we have got a 10th place car, we need to finish 10th with it. We can't push too hard with it and make a mistake and finish 35th because that would be really hard for us to rebound from."
At the beginning of the season, the team sat down and set goals for themselves. The No. 1 goal was to put the No. 43 team back in victory lane. With that said, what needs to happen in order to fulfill that expectation?
"We feel like if we continue to put ourselves in position to run in the Top 10," said Almirola, "then that one day will come where things go our way and we go out and win a race. That's really what we're focused on."
Now, I'm not saying here that the No. 43 is ready to roll into victory lane in the near future, but I am saying that they are closing in on it. If they continue to improve and the stars line up, it could happen.

State troopers in Georgia and Florida are reminding college football fans and tailgaters to make sure they have a sober driver when the University of Georgia visits Jacksonville to take on the University of Florida.
The Georgia State Patrol and the Florida Highway Patrol are airing a public service announcement on television networks in both states. The spot will also air during pre-game festivities at EverBank Field.
It features officers from each agency saying that they root for different teams, but they share a commitment to getting drunk drivers off the roads.
The two states work together every year on cross-border enforcement campaigns, but this is the first time they've jointly reached out to football fans with such a direct campaign.

Uncivil actions at city meetings
Published: Sunday, May 12, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 10, 2013 at 4:39 p.m.
If you need an example of the problem that Civility Month is trying to address, Wilbur Holloway provided a pretty good one.
Holloway, a regular speaker at Gainesville City Commission meetings, wrote a recent email to commissioners about their decision to fund a $100,000 study of a possible streetcar system.
If he gets credit for anything, it's brevity. After referring to the study as a "f---- you" to taxpayers because it came soon after a summit where residents asked that road repairs be prioritized, he closed with: "I was civil last night, but no more! F---- You!"
As former City Attorney Marion Radson explained last week in a column for The Sun, the Florida Bar has asked local governments in Florida to declare May as Civility Month.
"Too often, anger, rudeness, ridicule and personal attacks rule the day," he wrote. "This type of behavior only serves to discourage public participation and to prevent a fair discussion of the issues."
Maybe Holloway got the message. He appeared during the commission's citizens comment last week to apologize. Sort of.
He said he regretted sending the "intemperate email," but proceeded to explain his frustrations. He said the commission created an atmosphere of incivility with actions such as Commissioner Lauren Poe referring to a public speaker as a jerk.
That speaker — Nathan Skop — also believes the commission has fueled frustration through its attitude toward the public. Skop told me that he heard plenty of criticism during his time as a Public Service commissioner, but maintained a thick skin and stayed civil.
Yet he conceded that he could have handled himself better at times during his regular appearances before the City Commission. At the same meeting where Holloway gave his half apology, Skope exploded at commissioners for being "arrogant." He constantly blasts the commission about the biomass contract, even if the hearing is about completely unrelated issues such as abortion clinic protests.
He was among the speakers who turned the seemingly benign presentation of a sister city designation to representatives of Rzeszow, Poland, into heated criticism of commissioners.
"I don't know when I've been more uncomfortable and embarrassed," Commissioner Yvonne Hinson-Rawls said at the time. "I think we're acting like children."
Hinson-Rawls has also been criticized for contributing to incivility. Another regular during public comment, Debbie Martinez, accused Hinson-Rawls of battery for poking her in the back three times during a candidates' forum.
I wish I was making this up. Gainesville police consulted with the State Attorney's Office and concluded that there was not probable cause for any charges.
The commission has definitely invited criticism through actions such as a refusal to admit any mistakes were made in the biomass contract. Commissioners do seem arrogant at times. But it seems that seething with anger, however righteous that anger may be, is hardly the best response.
Skop thinks things will change after Ed Braddy is sworn in as mayor.
Let's hope so. Because after things descend into someone dropping f-bombs on elected officials, it's hard to see how they could get worse.

BOLTON Wanderers reached a settlement of £1.8 million after an HMRC investigation into wrongly reclaimed VAT on agents' fees, it has emerged in court.
But Whites chairman Phil Gartside yesterday told the High Court in Manchester he was "comfortable" with how the club conducts its transfer business.
Mr Gartside said he believed the club had done nothing wrong but Whites agreed a settlement because the VAT saga had "gone on too long".
The court was also told that Mr Gartside signed a transfer document relating to Gavin McCann's move to Bolton, which was later backdated, but that he "had not read it".
Mr Gartside also conceded that he had "indirectly" appointed The Sport and Entertainment Media Group (SEM) to represent the club for the June transfer and agreed basic terms with Aston Villa chief executive Richard Fitzgerald.
Mr Gartside had previously claimed to have had "no personal involvement" in the transfer, the court heard.
The Whites chairman gave evidence for four hours in the ongoing legal battle between himself, Wanderers, SEM and several of both companies' staff with agent Tony McGill, who believes the defendants cut him out of the transfer of Mr McCann.
Wanderers were pursued for VAT and National Insurance contributions by HMRC after the club reclaimed them.
Most of the transfers involved were similar to that of Mr McCann, with the player charged with tax on the fee the club paid the agent. HMRC argued that this meant Wanderers were therefore not entitled to a VAT rebate.
Martin Budworth, Mr McGill's counsel, asked why Wanderers were happy with such a large settlement.
Mr Gartside said: "The issue had gone on for far too long. We were satisfied with the settlement."
The chairman also repeatedly denied being part of a plot to backdate the agency representation agreement relating to the McCann deal.
He admitted that he signed the paperwork as club secretary Simon Marland was away, but said he "probably did not read it as he trusted his staff". Mr Gartside could not explain why the document was not signed with the rest of the paperwork on June 11 when Mr Marland had returned.
He added: "I am totally satisfied there was no wrongdoing from anyone at the club, including myself."
SEM's involvement in the transfer, and its £300,000 commission, was "indirectly" decided by Mr Gartside, the court heard.
Mr Gartside said: "I can't specifically remember appointing SEM, however I must have given them permission either through Mr Lee or Mr McParland."
He was referring to then manager Sammy Lee and the director of football Frank McParland.
Asked what justifications there were for such a large fee for SEM, Mr Gartside said: "Making contact, helping, and assisting with the transfer."
Mr Gartside was asked by his own counsel Mr Berragan to outline the club's debts.
Mr Gartside said the figure was about £50 million at the time of the McCann deal and was now in excess of £150 million.
He described how, at the time of the transfer, he was only chairman of Wanderers part-time, earning £45,000 per year.
He is now full-time and has had his own desk at the Reebok for the last two years.
The case continues.

Britain has named Canadian central bank chief Mark Carney as the new Bank of England governor, picking the first ever foreigner to lead the institution through a period of enormous change.
George Osborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, told MPs he had chosen the Mr Carney, 47, because he was the "outstanding central banker of his generation". Mr Carney said he was honoured to have been picked.
"He is quite simply the best, most experienced and most qualified person in the world to be the next governor of the Bank of England," Mr Osborne told parliament.
Mr Carney, who is currently governor of the Bank of Canada and chair of the global Financial Stability Board), will take over from Sir Mervyn King, who has led the BoE since 2003 and is due to step down on June 30.
The new BoE governor, who intends to take British citizenship and has a British wife, was born in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, Canada.
"Mark Carney is not a British citizen but he is a subject of the Queen," Mr Osborne said, to cheers from MPs.
Mr Carney, who worked for 13 years at US investment bank Goldman Sachs will serve a five-year term as governor and stand down at the end of June 2018.
He is the first non-British citizen appointed as governor since the central bank was founded in 1694, officials confirmed.
"I am honoured to accept this important and demanding role, and to succeed Sir Mervyn King with whom I have worked closely over these past five years and from whom I learned so much," Mr Carney said.
"This is a critical time for the British, European and global economies; a decisive period for reform of the global financial system including its leading financial centre, the City of London; and a crucial point in the Bank of England's history as it accepts vital new responsibilities." Mr Carney comes from outside Europe, but in his role at the FSB has been involved in dealing with some of the fallout from the global financial crisis and fighting the eurozone's long-running sovereign debt crisis.
Britain is not a member of the eurozone, but is deeply concerned that the thrust of European Union policies to reform finance threaten the City of London.
The appointment comes amid a series of damaging scandals that have rocked London's financial district and sparked fresh concerns over the banking sector's conduct - particularly over the Barclays Libor rate-rigging affair.
Mr Carney also takes the helm with the bank due to take over banking regulation from the Financial Services Authority next year, as part of a regulatory revamp aimed at avoiding a repeat of the devastating financial crisis.
The governor leads the Bank of England, an independent body that sets interest rates and has pumped out billions of pounds under its radical quantitative easing policy since 2009 to stimulate economic growth.
Mr Osborne said Mr Carney had "unparalleled expertise in financial regulation" and had helped steer Canada through the financial crisis.
"He will bring a fresh perspective," Mr Osborne told parliament. "He has got what it takes to help bring families and businesses through these incredibly challenging economic times.
"My responsibility was to get the best for Britain, and with Mark Carney we've got that." The announcement took markets by surprise because the bookies' favourite had been current deputy governor Paul Tucker.
Under Sir Mervyn's tenure, the bank sought to aid economic recovery by slashing its key interest rate to a record low of 0.50 per cent, where it has stood since March 2009, when it also launched its quantitative easing stimulus policy.
The bank has so far pumped a total of £375 billion ($A578 billion) into Britain's economy, which bounced out of recession in the third quarter of 2012 with the help of the London Olympics.

NORTH ANDOVER, MA- The Merrimack softball team used 10 late-game runs to capture a 13-8 victory over UMass Lowell Wednesday afternoon in a game that featured 26 hits and six home runs. The Warriors improved to 16-20 on the year and 10-14 in the Northeast-10 Conference. The River Hawks slip to 30-14 overall and 16-10 in league play with the loss.
"I thought we started out well and finished even better to pick up this key win," said head coach Jill Karwoski. "I was proud of the way we rallied late in the game to claim the lead and hold on. We will need to bring the same intensity tomorrow."
Monique Gosselin (Lawrence, MA) paced Merrimack with four base hits and five RBIs. Jenn Post (Orange, CT) drove in three RBIs while Keaira Perry (Bellingham, MA) and Jaclyn Giovannini (Plano, TX) each picked up two RBIs each. Ashley Perry (Winchendon, MA) collected three hits on the day while Alex Gallant (Salem, NH) landed two and scored three runs.
The Warriors grabbed a quick 1-0 edge in the bottom of the first. Giovannini laced a single down the line in left to score Gosselin.
Lowell responded with four runs in the second to claim a 4-1 lead. Ali Ferraro belted a two-run homer to left center, giving the visitors their first lead on the afternoon. Ashley Daniels followed with a solo shot to left as the River Hawks extended their advantage to 3-1. Meagan Guy scored the fourth run of the frame as she scooted home on a fielding error.
Merrimack cut the deficit to 4-3 in the home half of the inning. Gosselin raked a single up the middle to drive in a pair of runs as Tawny Palmieri (Peabody, MA) and Gallant both crossed the plate.
UMass Lowell added a run in the third as Daniels came home on a fielding error by the Warriors. The River Hawks tacked on their sixth run of the contest in the fifth on a solo homer to right center by Guy, her first of the day.
The home team erupted for six runs in the bottom of the fifth to seize a 9-6 lead. With two runners on base, Post singled to left to score Nicole LoPilato (Medford, MA) from third. Gallant scampered home on a throwing error by the away team. Merrimack knotted the score at 6-6 as Gosselin picked up an RBI single with the bases loaded.
Keaira Perry gave the Warriors their first lead of the day since the first inning with a two-run single through the right side of the infield. Giovannini expanded Merrimack's advantage to three runs with a sacrifice fly to right that allowed Gosselin to tag up and score.
The Warriors pushed across four runs in the home half of the sixth frame to move ahead 13-6. Post launched a one-out, two-run homer to center for her third of the season. Gosselin hammered a two-run home run to left center to cap off the hosts' scoring. The blast was the senior's seventh of the 2012 campaign and 36th career round-tripper.
The River Hawks made a late charge but Merrimack stymied the visitors to seal the victory. Guy cranked a two-run homer to pull Lowell to within five, 13-8, in the seventh. The River Hawks threatened with runners on the corners and two outs in the inning. Palmieri recorded the final out as she snagged a pop-up floating over second base to award the Warriors their third-straight win.
Kelli Jo Deardorff (Bedford, MA) pitched her ninth complete game of the season and registered four strikeouts to improve to 9-8 in the pitcher's circle.
Merrimack will continue its home-stand in the final stretch of the regular season with a Northeast-10 doubleheader against Southern NH April 19.

7800 GT 400/1000 20/7 MSRP 399US, dropped from 449US.
CKDragon - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkAs you said, those are the MSRPs, but you can regularly find:
7800GT for $299
6800GS for $199
Personally, I'm still waiting on my $100 6600GT. Give it to us cheap people. Reply

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82...">$99 6600GT with MIR. Enjoy! :) Reply
ksherman - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkthis card is likely to be between $250 and 325 i think
esp. with so many 7800GTs going for $320 these days!
this might be my next upgrade! Is it just me, or are the nVidia cards super cool bargains this time around? Reply
CKDragon - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkIt's hard to determine this market's 'bargain' because there hasn't been any real competition for the green team.
They're certainly a better deal than ATI right now, but if ATI had similar products out we possibly see even better deals. Reply
CalvinHobbes - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkPlease, someone make an AGP version of this card. Reply
Jep4444 - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkthis card isnt even fast enough to matter if there is an AGP version
there are already cards on the market that are similar to this in performance and are available in AGP Reply
Phantronius - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkAint gonna happen bud, time to move on. Reply
Donegrim - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkIwant someone to come up with some kind of generic PCI-E to AGP bridge. Im sure it would be possible using the bridge chip both nvidia and ati supply. It probably wouldn't be small enough to fit in between the card and the agp slot, but perhaps a small physical adaptor could sit between the sockets, with some kind of ribbon cable taking the data to and from the bridge chip that sat in a pci slot somewhere. Maybe it's a long shot, but it would be nice for those people more than happy with their current motherboard but want better graphics. Reply
A554SS1N - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkJust a quick question, btw, will it have much lower power cosumpion at all? Disabling 4 pipes , and lowering core by only 25Mhz, might only add up to a few watts I assume, as everything else is the same (i.e. PCB, 110nm tech process, memory speeds)? Reply
A554SS1N - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkAt 375Mhz core and 1000Mhz memory, it'll be faster than the 6800GT, especially with enhancements, but I'm not too sure about it beating a 400Mhz+ core 1100Mhz memory 6800Ultra... probably halfway between those two cards. Reply
Goi - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkClock for clock the G70 is faster than the NV40, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the 7800GS best the 6800U Reply
Visual - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkBUT! the GS will overclock like mad, may as well reach to the 600+ on the core like the GTX 512MB does (well, with replaced cooler) and the 6800Ultra is in its essence an already maxed out GT so it doesnt have much more headroom than stock. So obviously this new GS will be the better card. Reply
plewis00 - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkI was wondering, when are we going to get performance graphs, a release date and price point? Looks nice but also looks like it'll be PCIe-only.
2006 because the card's life cycle will probably last long into then and those white things are thermal interface pads, some have stuck to the memory chips others have stuck to the heatsink. Reply
Cybercat - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - link"With a good price point, the GeForce 7800GS could easily become 2006's rendition of the Radeon X800GTO^2."
2006? :( Reply
Visual - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkAT, any speculaions/estimates as to when the card will be released officially? You're not under a NDA or something, so why are you holding out information? :p
Ok, ok... I'm looking forward to your more detailed article soon :)
BTW, what are the white things between the memory modules and the cooler? Are they just to protect the chips and soften eventual pressure of the cooler on the chips, or do they actually help with cooling the ram in any way?
It seems it'd be a simple thing for nVidia to have come up with some ram heatsinks... Reply
CKDragon - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkI hope these could be had for less than $250. I've been on the fence about going up to a 6800GS because I usually don't spend much on video card upgrades, but if this thing can go up to 7800 GTX levels... well, somebody hold me back. :)
CK Reply
shabby - Tuesday, November 22, 2005 - linkReview within the next few days? Schweet!
Now what aboot and agp 7800gs? Reply

I'm currently following a computer science course online. I'm not officially signed up for the class though, instead, i'm working through the posted material on my own, as best I can.
The course provides quizzes via downloadable worksheets which enlisted students can send in to have graded. Now since i'm not enlisted, the option to have my work graded is not available to me. As such, I thought i'd try to find some proficient people to grade the work for me.
I'll be posting my completed work here in hopes that someone comes along and offers assistance.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.

After reading up on the use of class and id, I really can not find anything that gives a reason/benefit of using id. With everything I tried, class worked just as good, so now I'm wondering why not always simply use class.Is there anything I missed where id offers a benefit over class?
Stevie D made some good points on the subject in another thread:
Thanks Techie, I'll have a read of that.
There are also common design patterns that are used.
For example, forms have an id attribute added to them, to provide a handy way for scripts to access their named elements.
<form id="register">

First name: <input type="text" name="firstname">

That way a script can easily access the form elements, with:
var form = document.getElementById('register');
form.onchange = function () {
var form = this,
firstName = form.elements.firstname;
// do stuff with firstName.value
My understanding is that ID is supposed to identify an element that's unique within the page. A given ID will occur at most once in the page, whereas a given class can occur as many times as needed.
The class selector allows us to label related part of a HTML document. On the other hand, an id selector can be used to target individual elements. If you're still confused you may want to read this post.
Aside from ALL that has been said so far; an ID may also add a functionality hook for .js or serve to identify an input on a form, as in <input type='text' id='IDname' name='IDname> You MUST have that ID to link with the for attribute on the label.
Also serve as fragments. That is you can direct a link to an ID! Jumps to IDname
That only applies if you're supporting the now dead IE6 web browser which fails to understand implicit label association.
Explicit label association:
First name: <input type="text" id="firstname" name="firstname">
Last name: <input type="text" id="lastname" name="lastname">
Implicit label association:
First name: <input type="text" name="firstname">
Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname">
Some reasons why I prefer to use implicit association are:
Also, the potential loss of not using explicit association is that people using the IE6 web browser won't be able to click on the text to select a form element, they will have to click on the form element instead, which I am okay with given the better maintainability that is found from using implicit association instead.
Actaully, explicit label association doesnt seem to work on my MAC safari and FF. :/
I always avoid wrapping labels around the form controls as it has been documented to cause quite severe accessibility problems. Whether or not that is still true today I don't know but once you've learned a habit it sticks.:)
Another downside of wrapping the label is that you lose control over styling the text as you have no unique element to target and authors end up inserting a span which defeats the original purpose of that structure.
Of course both methods are valid either way.
A class can be used several times, while ID can be used only once. ID is a unique identifier to an element.
Yes, I know that. The question was not what the deifinition is, but to give an example of a situation where the use of ID has a distinct advantage over the use of class. So far, it only seems to be with the use of input functions.
And for internal links. And when you want to increase the specificity of a rule.
