PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. - Totaling 18 hits and eight extra base hits, while collecting 10 RBIs, the University of Pennsylvania baseball team defeated Villanova, 12-1, on a cold, cloudy day at Villanova Ballpark at Plymouth.
Leading the way for Penn at the plate was senior outfielder Rick Brebner, who doubled three times, scoring three runs, while driving in two.
Freshman right-handed pitcher Jake Cousins picked up his first win in his fifth appearance, pitching two scoreless innings as scheduled, during the mid-week contest. Cousins allowed two hits, while striking out one Villanova batter.
The Quakers designated hitter Matt McKinnon went 2-for-4 with a triple in the second inning, later scoring, in a two-run inning for Penn (6-10).
Villanova (7-15) would hold the Quakers scoreless for two more innings, before they exploded for six runs in the top of the fifth inning that resulted in two pitching changes for the Wildcats in the inning.
In the Penn fifth, right fielder Matt Greskoff led off the inning with a single, followed by a Gary Tesch push bunt to the right side resulting in a hit. Catcher Austin Bossart would get hit by a pitch, before first baseman Jeff McGarry collected and RBI single through the right side. After a pitching change, McKinnon collected an RBI single, Montaldo walked, and Brebner doubled to score two runs. Montaldo and Brebner would later score on a passed ball and a wild pitch.
After Cousins, Penn's Brian Schwarzbach and Mitch Holtz combined for four innings of scoreless relief. The pair relied on solid defensive plays by Brebner, who made a diving run-saving catch, and middle infielders Ryan Mincher and Mike Vilardo, who turned two double plays on the day.
The Wildcats would go on to score their only run in the bottom of the seventh inning off Andrew Burnick. The freshman right-hander allowed a run before loading the bases with no outs. Left-handed reliever Stephen Silvestri came on in relief to strike out two Villanova batters and record a groundout ending the Wildcats scoring threat.
Penn would add its final three runs in the ninth, after another Brebner double and a Greskoff single, bringing up Paul Cotler who had entered the game earlier in left field. Cotler stroked a double to deep left center field for his first hit and RBIs of the season. McGarry added his second RBI of the day doubling down the left field line, scoring Cotler.
Senior reliever Pat Bet pitched a scoreless ninth to close out the win for Penn.

TASMANIAN all-rounder James Faulkner has been called into Australia's one-day squad to replace Moises Henriques and is likely to make his one-day debut against the West Indies later this week.
Faulkner joins the Australian squad for the first two one-dayers against the Windies in Perth on Friday and Sunday. The in-form Henriques has been sidelined for the two matches after undergoing minor surgery on a finger injury.
National selector John Inverarity said Faulkner will first play for the Prime Minister's XI against the Windies in Canberra on Tuesday, before joining the Australian squad in Perth. Faulkner has been part of Australia's ODI and Twenty20 squads already this summer, but hasn't added to the solitary Twenty20 cap he collected last year.
The West Indies - Twenty20 world champions - will begin their quest to translate their short-form dominance into the 50-over arena when they take on a Ricky Ponting-led Prime Minister's XI at Manuka Oval. The tourists will gain a valuable hit-out before they face an Australian outfit coming off a 2-2 series draw with Sri Lanka.
Adapting to the extra bounce of Australian pitches shouldn't be a problem for the Windies, with five of their 15-man squad having played in the BBL.
While Chris Gayle didn't set the world on fire with the Sydney Thunder, he's still one of the most dangerous batsmen in the world.
All-rounder Dwayne Bravo, who along with spinner Sunil Narine (both Sydney Sixers), paceman Kemar Roach (Brisbane Heat) and hard-hitting batsman Kieron Pollard (Adelaide Strikers), rounded out the BBL contingent, is confident his team will learn from the domestic Twenty20 competition.
''It gives us an advantage and gives us an insight into how the Aussies think,'' Bravo said. ''We look up to most of them, so it's good to share the same dressing rooms.''
Apart from all-rounder Marlon Samuels, who is still recovering from a facial injury, the Windies are at full strength.
Gayle had a forgettable BBL campaign, scoring just one half century, but returns to the scene of one of his most memorable innings.
He smashed an incredible 146 off just 89 balls against the PM's XI three years ago. ''We all know Chris is one of the best players in the world, you can't hide that, and these conditions suit him,'' Bravo said.
Ponting will lead a side that is light on first-class experience but brimming with talent. Veteran wicketkeeper Brad Haddin and fringe Test batsman Usman Khawaja join promising paceman Gurinder Sandhu, spinner Ashton Turner and Pakistan-born refugee Fawad Ahmed in the line-up.

|August 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|Experimental: TheraSphere
Device: TheraSphere, Yttrium-90 glass Microspheres
Patients with unilobar disease will receive 120 ± 10% Gy (dose may be lower if clinically indicated) of TheraSphere to the affected lobe. Patients presenting with bilobar disease will have their liver assessed and the lobe presenting the highest treatment priority will receive the first treatment of TheraSphere. Assigning priority of lobes to receive treatment is based on tumor bulk, associated clinical symptoms attributed to the tumor and technical/angiographic considerations. In patients with bilobar disease where the second lobe does not require immediate treatment, or in unilobar disease where tumors develop in the untreated lobe, additional TheraSphere treatment may be administered at any subsequent time. A treatment may consist of a single 120 ± 10% Gy infusion to a lobe, or, if angiography indicates the need, the 120 ± 10% Gy dose may be split into multiple infusions per lobe to ensure delivery of a total of 120 ± 10% Gy to each treated lobe.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria
- 18 years of age or older,
- Patients with a diagnosis of metastatic disease to the liver who have failed or are intolerant to other systemic or liver directed therapies.
A patient is considered to have failed to other systemic or liver-directed therapies when, in the opinion of the referring physician, the patient has progression of disease after receiving standard approved therapies. Specifically, if a patient has failed first line chemotherapy (or the standard approved therapies for that particular solid tumor), in the time period designed to assess that particular regimen (at least 30 days), then they may be enrolled into this protocol.
A patient is intolerant to other systemic or liver-directed therapies when, in the opinion of the referring physician, for example, the patient is unable to tolerate appropriate chemotherapy, when the patient had residual toxicity from previous therapies (e.g. neuropathy from oxaliplatin), or when the patient's performance status is such that treatment with systemic therapies would result in excessive toxicity.
- Liver metastases are unresectable
- Target tumors should be measurable using standard imaging techniques
- Tumor replacement ≤ 70% of total liver volume based on visual estimation by the Investigator
- Tumors are hypervascular based on visual estimation by the Investigator
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0-2
At least one month has elapsed since most recent prior cancer therapy with the following exceptions
- Patients who are receiving Sandostatin for treatment of Neuroendocrine cancer may be enrolled and continue their Sandostatin treatment.
- Patients receiving anti-oestrogen therapy for breast cancer may continue their treatment if therapy was initiated greater than 30 days prior to TheraSphere treatment.
- Chemotherapy may continue if there is evidence of progression, in the liver, on treatment providing there is no change in the therapy in the 1 month prior to TheraSphere treatment and any immediate chemotherapeutic toxicity that will complicate TheraSphere treatment is resolved. In this case, the chemotherapy may continue because it is continuing to control the extrahepatic disease.
- Patient is willing to participate in the study and has signed the study informed consent
Exclusion Criteria
At risk of hepatic or renal failure, as indicated by any of the following pre-treatment laboratory and clinical findings within 28 days of treatment:
- Serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dL, unless on dialysis
- Serum total bilirubin ≥ 2.0 mg/dL
- Albumin < 2.0 g/dL
- Any history of hepatic encephalopathy
Contraindications to angiography and selective visceral catheterization that may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Any bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy that is not correctable by usual therapy or hemostatic agents (e.g., closure device)
- Severe peripheral vascular disease precluding catheterization
- History of severe allergy or intolerance to contrast agents, narcotics, sedatives or atropine that cannot be managed medically.
- Severe liver dysfunction or presentation of pulmonary insufficiency or a clinically evident history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Cirrhosis or portal hypertension
- Previous external beam radiation treatment to the liver
- Any intervention for, or compromise of the Ampulla of Vater
- Clinically evident ascites. (Note: A radiographic finding of trace ascites on imaging is acceptable).
- Any continuing complications of prior cancer therapy that have not improved or resolved prior to 21 days before the first treatment with TheraSphere (if the investigator determines that the continuing complication will compromise the safety of the patient following treatment with TheraSphere).
- In the judgment of the physician, significant life-threatening extrahepatic disease
- Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study
- Evidence on technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) scan that demonstrates lung shunting with a potential absorbed dose of radiation to the lungs >30 Gy. The 30 Gy limit is a cumulative limit over all infusions of TheraSphere.
- Evidence on technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) scan that demonstrates a potential for the deposition of microspheres to the gastrointestinal tract that cannot be corrected by placement of the catheter distal to collateral vessels or using standard angiographic techniques, such as coil embolization.
- A positive serum pregnancy test in women of childbearing potential
- In the Investigator's judgment, any co-morbid disease or condition or event (e.g., recent myocardial infarction) that would place the patient at undue risk, and that would preclude safe use of TheraSphere

Cisco to acquire mobile start-up Intucell
Cisco today announced plans to buy Israeli company Intucell for approximately $475 million in cash and retention-based incentives.
Intucell provides self-optimizing network (SON) software to mobile carriers, and it allows them to "plan, configure, manage, optimize and heal cellular networks automatically, according to real-time changing network demands," the company said.
Upon the closing of the acquisition, which is expected to happen in Cisco's third quarter, Cisco will integrate Intucell into its Service Provider Mobility (SPM) group.
Senior vice president and general manager of Cisco SPM Kelly Ahuja said Intucell's SON technology would allow Cisco to provide operators with "the unique ability to not only accommodate exploding network traffic, but to profit from it."
Intucell is headquartered in Ra'anana, Israel, and was founded in 2008.

Not sure if this question is suitable for this part of the forum.
The jquery gallery on my website is gradually taking shape - on the portfolio page - can someone tell me how i can insert a line break on the image description text on the right hand side please? Also, both the image and the text seem to be right justified - how can I alter this to be centered?
Many thanks
To be honest, you've lost me on both questions. Could you elaborate? Looking at your site in Chrome, it seems to do exactly what you want.
If you mean you don;t want the text to go over the image then set a width for it here.
The image and the text are both absolutely laced using a right position so just adjust that right position if you want to move them over a bit more (ore use left instead of right).e.g.
.picture-slides-image-text{ right: 132px;}
.picture-slides-fade-container a {right: 600px}
It all depends on how big the images will be and how much space you need to allocate.
.picture-slides-image-text{}make this changes in your CSS file.Your problem of Image description and "NEXT/PREVIOUS" problem will be solved and your portfolio will look good.
If any help needed feel free to ask
Hi, just got back to this - thanks for all the responses.
Hi Paul, yes, soon after I posted the question I realized why the images and text are right justified - as you say, because I'm using the 'right position'. DOH! I'm an idiot sometimes. Just wondering, seeing as the images are differing widths is there a way of making them all appear 'centered' from one specific point on the horizontal? I don't know if that makes any sense?
Hi Ralph, you'll see I took your advice from the last time you helped me - I finally managed to get some structure into my site. If you look at the text that describes each image, just below the 'next/previous', I just wanted to know how I could break that up into, say, two lines instead of one. Some of those descriptions are quite long and for some of them I'm thinking I might like to split them into two lines.
I assume it happens somewhere here on my portfolio mark up page:
{ image : "pictures/G5.jpg", alt : "Picture 5",text : "Salvation Army IHQ. Sheppard Robson/Chadwick International. 2004"},
Cheers. Paul
It's a little hard to guess exactly what you want but you can set a width for the image container and then centre the image in that width.
.picture-slides-fade-container a {
width:400px;/* adjust to suit*/
background:red;/* for testing only */
.picture-slides-fade-container a img{
To make the text description wrap to two lines you can use the code I gave you before but it does depend on what you are trying to achieve exactly.
Thanks Paul, the above code works great - the images all appear centered in relation to one another.
I can see what you mean about using the code to wrap the image description to 2 lines by setting a set width, but how might I split the line exactly and individually - for example say I wanted 'Salvation Army IHQ' on the first line and the name of the architect and date on the next line? I could use your method within the code by setting a width but that wouldn't work for the next description - for example, 'Lightbox' on the first line, etc. On the portfolio page can I split some of the text descriptions up into 2 lines?
You'd have to separate the text into 2 elements if you want to control each element separately. Or you could just add a break into the mix at the correct point.

Salvation Army IHQ.
 Sheppard Robson/Chadwick International. 2004

sorry Paul, can you give me an idea as to where I'd place the above code? I've tried the various positions on my 'portfolio' page and it either overlays the original text, or it disrupts other elements on the page.
Kristeva, can you please post a link to your site or a link to a test page with relevant code that demonstrates the problem?
this is where I'm at so far:
On the portfolio page I just wanted to know how to spread the image text/details over 2 lines instead of just 1. Paul offered some code above but I can't seem to get it to work.
@ralph_m can decide whether to move this message to the JavaScript forum or post a solution here.
You could go a long way here with CSS. For example, try adding these styles to the end of your style sheet:
.navigation-controls {
width: 100%;
left: 0;
text-align: center;
.picture-slides-image-text {
width: 340px;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -170px;
To insert a line break in that text, you could add this script to the bottom of your page (just before the closing  tag)
var holder = document.querySelector("div.picture-slides-image-text");
var lineBreaker = 'IHQ.';
var replacement = lineBreaker + '
';
var re = new RegExp(lineBreaker, 'ig');
holder.innerHTML = holder.innerHTML.replace(re, replacement);
This code only applies to this particular example, so is not really all that useful in the long run. If there's a pattern in your subtitles, it would be better to match that instead. For example, choose a special character to target that you will only use where you want a line break. E.g. if there's always a point where you want to break your text, you could, say, use an em dash: —
var holder = document.querySelector("div.picture-slides-image-text");
var lineBreaker = '—';
var replacement = lineBreaker + '
';
var re = new RegExp(lineBreaker, 'ig');
holder.innerHTML = holder.innerHTML.replace(re, replacement);
That will produce this:
Thanks Ralph
I incorporated your changes:
Have I made a mistake? It doesn't seem to be breaking the line. I guess I must have.
Hi Paul. You haven't really followed much (if anything) of what I posted above. You didn't use either the CSS or the JS. Did you post a link to the wrong page?
I suggested some CSS above, but it's not on your page. I also suggested adding that JavaScript code at the bottom of the page, just before the  tag, but it's not there. :-/
Hi Ralph, that's odd - when I click on my link above it's all there. The image text is now directly beneath the image, which I assume was part of your tweak in CSS and when I click 'view source' I can see the JS script at the bottom of the 'portfolio' page just before the closing  tag.
I'm viewing in safari. Apologies for that, let me know if you still can't see the changes and I'll have another go at posting a link.
I think Kristeva's last link may point to the wrong page. Kristeva has posted two links to different pages. The page with the slider and Ralph's JavaScript is:http://www.ptaplin.webspace.virginmedia.com/portfolio.html
Thanks Ron. Seems the jQuery gets in the way of the JS I posted somehow. Sign. I tried a few experiments of adding line breaks in the text lie, but no luck:
text : "Salvation Army IHQ. Sheppard Robson/Chadwick International. 2004"
Needs a JS person.
My original link was good but it went to the front page of my site rather than the portfolio page. Apologies for any confusion.
Should I now post this question in the JS section?
I have asked a moddie to move this thread into the JavaScript forum for continuity.

PURTON boss Chris Pethick said his side's draw with promotion challengers Lydney Town felt like a win.
Having struggled to get players out of late Purton have been in poor form, characterised by their 4-0 defeat at Malmesbury Victoria last Tuesday.
Against a Lydney side who have every chance of winning of promotion through the play-offs, Pethick's men showed resolve to score a cracking late goal through Joe Dorey with time running out.
In the first half Lydney showed why they are near the top reaches of Hellenic League Division One West, having much the better of the game. Crucially howeverthe visitors only managed one goal, coming after Purton's defence failed to clear their lines.
In the second half Purton took control and Pethick thought his side were worth their draw by the end.
"We scored with the goal of the season. A Paul Scholes-style goal on the volley from a corner, it was a goal worthy of winning the game but it got us a draw, we could have snatched a win in the second half," said Pethick.
"Struggling of late, for numbers, we've got no forwards. We had to play with midfielders up front yesterday.
"I'm ecstatic, getting that equalising goal so late felt like a win, we were 1-0 down for so long. It was a good point.
"We were poor at Malmesbury on Tuesday, with respect to them we were poor. It was nice to get a performance as we've been poor of late."
Elsewhere New College paid to pay for individual errors as they lost 4-1 to North Leigh United.
At the Flying Monk Dan Thompson, James Towsend and Stuart Fraser scored as Malmesbury played out a 3-3 draw with fellow mid-tablers Easington Sports.

The season begins on Feb. 28 when the Quakers travel to Dallas for four games with Dallas Baptist. The road trip continues when the Red and Blue return to the east coast March 7-9 for four games in Annapolis. Penn will play one game a day, alternating between Monmouth and the host Navy.
The Quakers will continue their road swing with games close to home in Dover, Del. against Delaware State on March 11 and 12. Following that, Penn will head south for the weekend once again with Richmond, Va. as the destination. There they will face Richmond for three contests March 14-16. The Red and Blue finish off the long road trip with the Big 5 contest at Villanova on March 19.
Penn will make its home debut at Meiklejohn Stadium on March 22 when Lafayette comes to Philadelphia for a doubleheader. The Quakers will then head to Easton, Pa. for a road doubleheader against the Leopards the following day.

PHOENIX - Jodi Arias wants to fire her lead defense attorney.
In the 12-page handwritten document, Arias says attorney Kirk Nurmi hasn't seen her since May 23.
That's when Phoenix jurors reached an impasse on whether to sentence her to life in prison or death for the 2008 murder of boyfriend Travis Alexander.
Arias wrote that Nurmi "has little to no tolerance for my emotional and psychological shortcomings" and she no longer trusts him. The Arizona Republic first reported on the filing.
She also tried to fire him in June, but Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Sherry Stephens didn't grant her request.
Nurmi hasn't returned several calls seeking comment.
Arias was in court Thursday for a settlement conference. The court says no agreement was reached and the case was referred back to Stephens.
Arias has another hearing scheduled for Nov. 1.

When the site of the Penn family farm became Cedar Hill State Park 137 years later, in 1991, visitors who came by the thousands in RVs were traveling in mobile homes dependent on plentiful electric power to energize their perfect camping experience. The park was ready for them with lots of 30-amp hook-ups, plenty of power for all their equipment. But only 19 years later, most new RVs require 50 amps to get their occupants through the night with modern conveniences such as microwaves and satellite television. As one of the busiest parks in the Texas Parks and Wildlife system, with 275,000 visitors last year, Cedar Hill can't afford not to keep pace with the changes. "We will be upgrading the electrical hook-ups from 30-amp to 50-amp in the Lakeview and Eagle Ford camping loops," says project manager Jeff Wurzbach, "and making them full-service loops by adding sewer service. They already have water." Thanks to bond funding authorized by the Texas Legislature and approved by statewide voters, early this fall TPWD will be upgrading about 150 sites to 50-amp pedestals and sewer service. Also, in keeping with TPWD efforts statewide to make parks more accessible to all, Cedar Hill's headquarters building will be getting new restrooms that are Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant. The approximately $3.5 million in upgrades at Cedar Hill puts another checkmark on a long list of major Texas State Parks rejuvenation projects underway this year, all aimed at keeping the parks fun, safe and customer friendly. Texas State Parks general obligation bonds have been sold to fund more than $44 million in repairs and renovations to park cabins, bathrooms, electrical and water systems, and other state park infrastructure. Along with fixing up more than 40 state parks, the bonds provide an additional $25 million to dry berth the Battleship Texas. Along with fixing up more than 40 state parks, the bonds provide an additional $25 million to dry berth the Battleship Texas, taking the proud veteran of two World Wars out of the corrosive water of the Houston Ship Channel. Cedar Hill is an extremely successful blend of Texas State Park getaway and near-urban location. Park Superintendent Mike Spradling compares it to Central Park for New York City. Only 22 miles from downtown Dallas and 28 miles from Fort Worth, it is close enough for an after-work ride on its excellent bike trails or even a long picnic lunch break. The park has more than 200 picnic tables with grills, and three playgrounds. Harried Dallasites can make this quick escape in less than 30 minutes, if traffic cooperates. But the 355 RV-ready campsites, all close to the shores of 7,500-acre Joe Pool Reservoir, attest to the many folks who consider Cedar Hill worthy of camping. In addition to electricity and water, each site has a fire ring and picnic table, and is near a bathroom and hot shower. For those hardy campers willing to disdain "new-fangled" electricity, the park also offers 30 primitive sites. Biking is another of the Cedar Hill's major attractions. "We have Dallas Off-Road Biking Association trails," says Assistant Park Superintendent Joshua Choate. "DORBA built them in the early 1990s. We have cooperation from them and they do the majority of the maintaining. "We have two hiking and biking trails. In addition to the five camping loops, we have three day use loops. We've got a full service marina." Fishing also proves a big draw, and if you don't want to cast from a boat, there are several fishing piers and fish-cleaning stations along the shores of the 1,826-acre park. Those who appreciate history will be delighted to find that the Penn Farm is still on site, in reconstructed and historic buildings. Daily self-guided tours honor Texas' long and noble farming heritage, and help modern-day folks, city dwellers and rural residents alike, learn about farm life of more than 150 years ago. The photogenic Penn farm buildings are located in the south section of Cedar Hill State Park, close to the interestingly named Hog Wallow Camping area. Despite its suburban location this is still an oasis of nature in a concrete-laden environment. Just witness the more than 200 species of birds that have found their way here to be added to the official park list. One of Texas most beautiful and popular birds, the painted bunting, is plentiful in Cedar Hill through most of the summer. In the shadow of skyscrapers, Cedar Hill State Park offers a true year-round park experience to attract both traveling out-of-state campers and local day visitors.

The Arin'Sen were a pale-skinned humanoid species with a ridge running along their necks, vertical stripes running along their heads and two circular parts of the head next to the ridges.
In 2153, the starship Enterprise NX-01 encountered a severely damaged Arin'Sen vessel in a star system just outside Klingon territory. The surviving Arin'Sen told Captain Archer that, several years previously, their colony, Raatooras, had been annexed by the Klingon Empire. The Klingons had offered them protection, but abandoned the colony after stripping it of all valuable resources. Short on food and fuel, the Arin'Sen fled the colony, pursued by Captain Duras of the IKS Bortas. Having branded the Arin'Sen refugees as rebels, the Empire sent Duras to retrieve them, but Captain Archer refused to hand them over. After engaging in battle with the Bortas, Enterprise managed to evade Duras, and relocated the Arin'Sen refugees on a planet unknown to the Klingons. (ENT: "Judgment")

SAN CLEMENTE – A semitrailer crashed through an I-5 median and struck at least seven vehicles on the opposite side of the freeway Thursday afternoon, leaving nine people injured and traffic snarled.
The truck was traveling north on I-5 at Camino de Estrella about 12:15 p.m. when it jackknifed, crashed through the divider into the southbound lanes and struck the other vehicles, California Highway Patrol Officer Denise Quesada said.
One person was taken to Saddleback Memorial Medical Center San Clemente, while the other eight were taken to trauma centers at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, Western Medical Center in Santa Ana and UCI Medical Center in Orange, said Lynnette Round, an Orange County Fire Authority spokeswoman.
Fire officials described the injuries as "minor to moderate."
One person had to be cut out of a vehicle. Authorities said two of the injured were children, ages 1 and 3, who were in a vehicle with their father.
It wasn't immediately clear what caused the driver of the semi to lose control of the vehicle.
The crash left debris spread across the freeway for about 300 feet. Caltrans officials came out to cleanup the debris and to put in a temporary replacement for the broken median.
Four lanes of the freeway were closed for hours after the crash, officials said, leaving traffic backed up for more than 15 miles. All lanes of the roadway were reopened by 4 p.m.

The TomTom GO Live 1535M has the distinction of being the first portable navigation device (PND) to feature connected apps. The 1535M features a trio of apps that, via the Live Services data connection and accessed under the Live Services icon on the Home screen, allow the user to search Yelp, Trip Advisor, and Expedia for points of interest (or POIs) for navigation. In addition to giving the user access to a larger, more up-to-date database of POIs, searching the cloud with the help of Yelp, Expedia, Trip Advisor, and even Google Local Search (which has been a part of TomTom Live since its inception) also give the user access to user generated and, in the case of Expedia, professional reviews. Each result returned when searching with one of these connected sources is accompanied by a rating to help sort the gems from the junk.
There's also Twitter integration that allows users to text their destination and ETA while driving. Before you groan, you'll soon learn that this actually turned out to be one of the best bits of app integration the TomTom has to offer.
Like the Live Services-enabled devices that preceded it, the TomTom GO Live 1535M also features TomTom's HD Traffic service, which is easily one of the best and most coverage complete traffic data services on the market. There's also fuel price quotes, which is remarkably well integrated into the rest of TomTom's OS, making appearances on the trip summary page and automatically populating the fuel category of the POI search with local prices for regular and premium gasoline, as well as diesel. There are also speed camera alerts that sound an audible chime when the drive approaches an intersection with a red-light camera or a stretch for road monitored by a speed camera.
Searching via apps: Better or worse?
I was in the mood for ice cream at the beginning of my testing, so I decided to browse Yelp's database of destinations for a highly rated parlor near my current location. POIs can also be searched in proximity to the user's preset Home address, near the destination of the current route (if one was in progress), or in a city of their choosing. Available destinations are organized into coarse categories such as Restaurants, Nightlife, Arts & Entertainment, and Hotels & Travel, so I selected the Restaurants heading and was immediately presented with the five closest restaurants in Yelp's database. Here's where things start getting shaky. Unfortunately, none of the restaurants listed was an ice cream parlor, and TomTom's Yelp integration doesn't offer more granular categorization than its 22 top level categories. So there's no way to specify that you want, for example, an Italian restaurant and not a sushi bar. Even then, some of these top-level categories can be redundant--for example, searching "Food" returns largely the same results as "Restaurants." This is disappointing, as Yelp's somewhat obsessive categorization and subcategorization of the types of businesses in its database is part of what makes the service so useful on the Web and on a smartphone.
There is a way around all of this categorization rigmarole and that's with the Search by Name function. Typically, using Search by Name with the built-in and locally stored POI database is only really useful if you already know where you're going or for destinations with self-explanatory names, such as Luigi's Italian Restaurant. However, using Search by Name in tandem with one of the connected search engines also takes into account the expanded data for each POI. So, for the purposes of my search, Smitten Ice Cream would show up in a search for "ice cream" but then so should the more highly rated Bi-Rite Creamery, despite not having the exact search term in its title.
However, there are a few issues with Search by Name. First, hitting the Search button on the Results screen will only filter the visible POIs (as opposed to requerying the Web service). And since selecting any category automatically takes you to a Results screen, the only way to cast a broad search net is to initiate the Search by Name before selecting a category. Of course, this now means that a search for The Fillmore concert hall will also return the dozens of unrelated restaurants, barbershops, and places of worship that are also on Filmore Street. Additionally, search didn't seem to like certain terms. In particular, every search I ran for the term "ice cream" was met with an error message proclaiming that "Something went wrong" and that I should "Please try again later." It would seem that the TomTom GO Live 1535M was determined to keep me from my dairy dessert.
Eventually, I just keyed "Bi-Rite" into the search box and learned that TomTom's search engine also places a higher emphasis on proximity than on search-term accuracy when Smitten Ice Cream was listed as the first search result, while the Bi-Rite Creamery sat about 4 pages down in the 17th position. The order of the results changes depending on where you are when initiating the search. I understand why this happens, but like everything related to the 1535M's connected search, it's a bit odd and counterintuitive.
With the four-star-rated Bi-Rite Creamery located and ice cream on the horizon, I tapped the entry and was taken to a destination details page that showed a preview of the POI's position on the map, its straight-line distance from my current location, and shortcuts to initiate a call, search for parking nearby, and Show Info, which displays a selection of Yelp's user generated reviews.
The search process for Expedia and Trip Advisor are largely the same as the Yelp process described above. Trip Advisor has fewer categories than Yelp, but with a stronger emphasis on exploring a new city with its "Things to do" category. Expedia only searches for hotels, but is unique in that its information page includes user and professional ratings, high and low rates, and detailed information about amenities and fees. Searching the built-in POI database will display clickable Yelp, Trip Advisor, or Expedia icons if any of these services has ratings or reviews available. However, there's no way to jump among the services from within any of the connected search engines in the Live Services menu. So, for example, you'll have to re-initiate a search if you decide to research a hotel on Expedia finding it via Trip Advisor or Yelp. Juggling these five search engines can be very confusing, so much so that at the end of my testing even I'm still scratching my head over it.

PENDLE MP Andrew Stephenson has accused members of the Asian community in the borough of participating in electoral fraud involving postal votes.
He made the allegations during a debate in the House of Commons yesterday, where his colleague, Burnley MP Gordon Birtwistle, said he had heard 'reports of wholesale fraud on an industrial scale' in the town.
Pendle Council yesterday said that three complaints relating to postal voting in the borough elections on May 3 had been passed on to police.
The Lancashire Telegraph can also reveal that police are investigating postal and proxy votes in two wards in Blackburn with Darwen, whilst a police investigation is continuing into votes in Hyndburn.
Mr Stephenson said that South Asian women in Pendle had spoken to him and said they had no idea who they voted for because their husbands had done it for them, a process known as 'family voting'.
Pendle's Labour leader, Coun Mohammed Iqbal, said he took 'great offence' to the suggestion that South Asian women did not vote for themselves.
Last year's Pendle mayor, Coun Nadeem Ahmed, said his experience was 'totally different' to that of Mr Stephenson's.
Mr Stephenson made the comments during a debate on the Electoral Registration and Administration Bill in the House of Commons.
He said: "This is a particular issue in the South Asian community and indeed I have met Asian women in my constituency, who have told me they have no idea who they voted for as their husband did it.
"However, needless to say because of the close family ties and bonds of loyalty, this is not going to be reported to the police or investigated by anyone.
"Apart from electoral fraud taking place, and women and young people losing their right to vote in some households, such goings-on play into a narrative that gives an impetus to groups like the BNP and the EDL.
"I say we cannot allow this to happen.
"We cannot allow electoral fraud and the suspicion of electoral fraud to continue and become another reason for undermining community cohesion.
"It is clear that there is a cultural element to this.
"The current on the demand postal voting regime actively disenfranchises women and young people by allowing "family voting" to occur.
"By family voting I mean where the head of a household will pledge everyone of his families votes to a particular political party.
"He can then ensure that this happens by watching other family members complete their postal ballots, or by completing the ballots himself, or indeed by completing them with an activist from the said political party."
Mr Stephenson also accused the Labour Party of foul play in its success in the Reedley ward during the borough council elections earlier this month.
He said that in Reedley in 2010, there were 800 postal votes where 3,049 people voted, with the Conservative candidate securing 49 per cent of the vote and being 'easily elected'.
In 2011 Reedley saw a 25 per cent increase in postal votes and this year, a further increase of almost 25 per cent, an increase of 479 postal votes in two years.
Mr Stephenson said: "Virtually all were from the British Pakistani Community and virtually all were signed up on to postal votes by the Labour Party.
"Not coincidentally, Labour candidates were elected on both occasions. The Conservative vote did not collapse. The Labour victory was not on trend across the constituency. Nonetheless, their support in Reedley rocketed.
"I accept that it is theoretically possible that local support for the Labour candidate did increase significantly, however the 45 per cent increase in the Labour vote in 2011, against the backdrop of an 18 per cent drop in turnout, and given the huge increase in postal votes and reports of party activists walking in to polling stations with piles of 50 votes at a time maybe indicates that was not what really happened.
"It is not so much that the numbers do not add up, but rather that they do."
Coun Iqbal said: "In Reedley the Conservatives have taken that ward for granted and that is why they lost, but they have had over 800 postal voters signed up in the past there.
"It is quite clear this is a case of sour grapes. They have lost wards they have historically won by a big margin."
Councillors in Pendle have agreed to set up a task force to look at the allegations of election fraud in the borough.
Five councillors will sit on a working group that will look at concerns about postal and proxy voting.
Two Labour councillors, two Conservative councillors and one Lib Dem councillor will make up the group.
Coun Joe Cooney, leader of the council, said: "People have to come forward and be honest, and if anybody has any evidence then they have to go the police to report it."
Philip Mousdale, Pendle Council's director of services and deputy chief executive, said: "We had three complaints related to postal voting activity this year which have been referred to the police.
"None involved fraud, they concerned undesirable activity by party workers. None of the complaints were about the Reedley ward."
The bill aims to tackle electoral fraud by speeding up the introduction of Individual Electoral Registration (IER) so it is in place by 2015. At present, one person in every household is responsible for registering everyone else who lives at that address. This proposal is for each person being required to register to vote individually, rather than by household.
A civil penalty, such as a fine, could also be introduced for those who do not apply to be registered when required to do so by the Electoral Registration Officer.
Blackburn MP and former Labour Home Secretary Jack Straw said: "What Mr Stephenson has described sounds awful. It is unlawful and should not happen.
"I think there is an even bigger problem where the list of postal voters is published before the election. It is just too tempting for some political workers to abuse.
"It is wrong when someone in the household is dictating how other voters cast their vote but it is not a problem that is exclusively confined to the South Asian community."
Pendle Liberal Democrat Councillor Tony Greaves, who put forward a motion at the authority's annual meeting last week launching an investigation into postal vote fraud, said: "It is clear that the family voting tradition in the South Asian community has come into postal voting in some areas of Pendle like Nelson and Brierfield. Mr Stephenson is quite right about this and we need to see an end to postal voting on demand."
Burnley Liberal Democrat MP Gordon Birtwistle told the same debate in the Commons: "It is not just postal voting but impersonation where some people present themselves at the polling station as someone else to vote. We suspected this but could not produce any hard evidence for the returning officers but we do need an investigation.
"This was happening in wards like Daneshouse, Queensgate and Stoneyholme, where the turnout went up to 60 per cent, and the majority of the community is Asian.
"They appear to have been voting for the winning Labour candidates. We need an end to postal voting on demand and possible even asking people to produce photo-identification at polling stations to stop electoral fraud."
Rossendale and Darwen Tory MP Jake Berry said: "I do think there are questions about postal voting and electoral fraud being a problem in particular ethnic groups.
"I have heard anecdotal reports about this with the Asian community in Blackburn from party workers but have no direct evidence myself.
"I do support Andrew in cracking down on postal voting on demand except where people can prove they need it."
Ribble Valley Tory MP and House of Commons Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans said: "This is a problem in some communities and we are not just talking the South Asian community. It happens in some Eastern European families and indeed in some fine 'Olde English' communities.
"There needs to be a government investigation. We cannot have our MPs going round the world telling other people how to run elections if this type of family voting is going on at home. "

Oxnard, Calif.-based Deardorff Family Farms plans to launch a community supported agriculture program in August where Ventura County residents can sign up for weekly subscriptions of organic produce.
Dubbed Fresh Picks by Deardorff Organics, it will be the grower-packer-shipper's first foray into selling directly to consumers and stems from Tom Deardorff and other family members wanting to be more involved with the community, said Christine Smith, marketing assistant.
"We hope to be successful, but we also just want to connect with the community and share more directly, since we do mostly wholesale," she said.
The grower-packer-shipper also will team with Whole Foods on its Whole Kids Foundation to support local school gardens, salad bars and teacher nutrition education.
Initially, the Fresh Picks program will offer consumers one sized box that contains nine to 12 organic produce items for $25 per week, Smith said.
The contents will vary, based on the season. In addition to items produced under the Deardorff Organics label, Smith said they'll also include items they don't grow, such as citrus and avocados, from other local organic growers.
The box size and the number of produce items are just a few of the recommendations from Farmigo, computer software designed for CSAs.
Smith said she learned of the program, which also has templates for websites and e-newsletters, from Andrea Chavez, CSA director for Talley Farms, Arroyo Grande, who has been using it.
"Before I found this Farmigo, I was wondering if I was going to have to create a website from scratch," Smith said.
Consumers will be able to sign up for the produce through a link on Deardorff Family Farm's website, www.deardorfffamilyfarms.com, or through the Fresh Picks website that will launch shortly, Smith said.
The new site will have more of a blog feel and will also feature recipes, stories and photos.
When consumers do sign up, they choose a location where they'll pick up their box.
One of those sites will be the new Whole Foods, scheduled to open June 19 in Oxnard.
Smith said Deardorff Family Farms has a good working relationship with Whole Foods and will be one of its featured producers at the new store.
Whole Foods just completed filming a short video with the family promoting their local operation as well as their new direct-to-consumer efforts.
"They've been really very accommodating and helpful and involved with us," Smith said. "We're working with each other, not against each other."

Not everyone can get a summary dissolution. Most people have to get a regular divorce. This section will help you decide if you qualify for a summary dissolution and, if you do, how to file it.
Keep in mind that a summary dissolution is a divorce, NOT a legal separation. Learn about the differences between divorce and legal separation.
If you are registered domestic partners, NOT married, click for help filing a summary dissolution for a domestic partnership. If you and your spouse are married AND registered domestic partners, you may be able to end both, the same-sex marriage and domestic partnership. Click to read the instructions for dissolving both a same-sex marriage and domestic partnership.
To qualify for a summary dissolution of your marriage you must meet ALL of the following requirements.
You and your spouse:
In addition, if you are married, either you or your spouse must have lived in California for the last 6 months and in the county where you file for summary dissolution for the last 3 months. If you do not meet the residency requirement, you can still file for a legal separation but you have to go through the regular legal separation process, or wait until you meet the residency requirements for a divorce.
EXCEPTION: Same-sex married couples who got married in California but do not live in California and live in a state (or states) that will not dissolve a same-sex marriage, can file to end their same-sex marriage in California, regardless of these residency requirements. You must file in whichever county you were married. If this is your situation, talk to a lawyer with experience in same-sex marriage laws. Click for help finding a lawyer
I meet ALL of the requirements to file for summary dissolution; go to the next step.
I do not qualify; help me get a regular divorce.
AND, either:
As part of your financial information exchange, you each MUST exchange:
- All tax returns you filed in the last 2 years, and
- Information in writing about any investments, businesses or other income-producing opportunities you have had after you separated, as long as those opportunities or investments were made or came up during your marriage and before you separated.
Important: If you decide that you do not want to get a summary dissolution during the 6 months while you wait for your divorce to become final, you must file a Notice of Revocation of Petition for Summary Dissolution (Form FL-830) with the court. The Notice of Revocation can be filed by either spouse. It invalidates (cancels) the summary dissolution case and the judgment on Form FL-825. If you or your spouse still wants to get divorced, you can file for a regular divorce. Click for help getting a regular divorce.
If you are in a domestic partnership only (not also married), click for an easier way to end your partnership.
You may not need all of these forms. Or you may need more forms. If you are not sure which forms to use, talk to your family law facilitator, self-help center, or a lawyer. Click for help finding a lawyer.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo volleyball team flexed their muscles on Saturday as the Lions soundly defeated St. Edward's University 3-1 (25-22, 21-25, 25-18, 25-21) and the University of New Haven 3-0 (25-19, 25-12, 25-20) in the final day of the 2011 Saint Leo Lion Classic at the Marion Bowman Activities Center.
It was a day where nearly every Lion saw court time with 12 Saint Leo players taking the court in the morning win over St. Edward's (1-1); and nearly the entire roster, 14 student-athletes, registering time in the triumph over New Haven (0-2).
The two wins also featured Saint Leo (3-1) starters posting some very impressive numbers with senior Emily Calderon-Reyes racking up 23 kills against St. Edward's, while sophomore Jaclyn Mailoto chipped in 37 assists. Mailoto would later add 18 helpers to her total in the New Haven game.
The tandem of sophomore Megan Donovan and senior Danielle Bletso combined for 14.5 blocks between both games as the Lions held their opponents to a 0.114 attack average across seven sets. Sophomore libero Molly Alexander added 24 digs against St. Edward's while freshman Nikki Doehrmann was also impressive in the back row with 11 scoops.
In amassing those 23 kills Calderon-Reyes took 43 swings, and only missed her mark three times, leading to an impressive .465 average.
After a grueling 36-hour stretch with four matches, the Lions will take time to rest and recuperate before preparing for the North Alabama Tournament this upcoming weekend. The Lions will face Christian Brothers University, the University of North Alabama and Queens University of Charlotte in Florence, Ala. next Friday and Saturday.

Windows 8 Gets Possibly Free "Blue" Upgrade in 2013, May Split From Server Tree
Jason Mick
November 29, 2012 1:20 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
New version will bring the UI inline with Windows Phone
Microsoft Corp.'s (
) Windows 8 operating system was a bold and risky gambit, which traded familiarity for an innovative new graphically rich (some say
graphically rich) user interface. Now the veteran operating system maker is eyeing more ambitious changes, notably a shift to an Apple, Inc. (
)-like track of more frequent (perhaps annual) operating system releases.
I. Windows Blue to Land in 2013?
Originally thought to be a service pack, sources at Microsoft have been spilling word of an upcoming release called Windows "Blue" (perhaps a code-name) to
The Verge
in recent months.
According to the latest rumors, the 2013 release will be inexpensive or perhaps free, to incentivize upgrades. And it will be a full operating system upgrade. In this regard, the new development cycle Microsoft is moving towards closely
resembles Apple's
-- frequent, cheap operating system upgrades.
Microsoft is also planning a move that may shock and upset some developers -- it will reportedly release a new version of its SDK for Windows Blue, and at that point will stop accepting
Windows Store apps
built on the old Windows 8 SDK. Again, this choice is a calculated tactic on Microsoft's part to push developers and users to embrace the new platform.
The new OS will also shift Microsoft's position regarding leniency for users upgrading from pirate versions. With Blue, if you upgrade from a pirated copy of Windows 8, even if you bought a legitimate copy your Windows Store and the built-in-apps will still be bricked.
[Image Source: NeoWin]
According to
, the term "Windows 9" has begun to creep into text in Microsoft employee postings, suggesting Microsoft may official dub the upcoming OS Windows 9, when it hits release next year.
Another report from
suggests that the new operating system will move Windows 8 to using smaller
Live Tiles
, similar to
those in Windows Phone 8
. This would seem to agree with
The Verge
's sources who suggest Windows Blue/Windows 9 will be part of an effort to complete the transition of Windows Phone and Windows (PC) into a single code-base and consistent user interface. As part of this effort, Windows Phone may receive a corresponding "Blue" update, as well.
II. Are Windows Users Ready for Another Big Shift?
The news of the big shift in release cycles and upcoming new 2013 Windows release comes on the heels of Microsoft's
first report on the health of Windows 8 sales
In its release Microsoft announced that it had moved 40 million licenses in its first month of sales, despite no longer offering the free upgrades for purchasers who bought machines in the months leading up to the release (as it did with Windows 7).
Of course,
will be quick to point that Microsoft reduced upgrade fees (albeit charging more of them), did not disclose its revenue associated with the upgrades, and did not disclose how many of its licenses sold to OEMs were resold.
Will Windows users embrace an Apple-like release schedule? [Image Source: Double DT]
Nonetheless, it appears Windows 8 wasn't the complete disaster some doomsayers predicted. It should be interesting whether Microsoft's next big shift at least receives as warm a welcome as Windows 8.
The Verge
"This is about the Internet. Everything on the Internet is encrypted. This is not a BlackBerry-only issue. If they can't deal with the Internet, they should shut it off." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

nah, the most frequent "slurs" on TV are about being a man-- especially a married man.Originally posted by Unassisted
Overall, I think that overweight people are more likely to be on the receiving end of this type of insult.
but that's just TV. In real life I'm guessing that wife slurs are no. 1. I wouldn't be surprised if overweight slurs trump homosexual slurs for no. 2, but it might be the other order. Christian slurs are probably pretty far down

Hey all,
I've not yet come to test the Pro version. Did anyone made it to implement the guest count also. Or anyone willing to invest time for a donation? It would be great if we can get that feature to the approved version i think.
