A WORCESTERSHIRE MP has missed out in a reshuffle of David Cameron's Cabinet as the Prime Minister rung the changes.
Harriett Baldwin was tipped as one of the contenders for a seat at the PM's top table as he dumped a raft of high-ranking veteran figures in favour of more women.
The West Worcestershire MP will instead remain a Government whip, and has a new boss after Michael Gove was removed as education secretary and made chief whip.
She has been promoted within the Whips office though, with the title of Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury, replacing Stephen Crabb who is now the Secretary of State for Wales.
She will work hand-in-hand with Mr Gove at the commons in trying to push through new laws by getting MPs to back the Government.
At one point yesterday another county MP, Redditch's Karen Lumley, was also tipped to replace former policing minister Damian Green but it came to nothing.
Last night Mrs Baldwin said "you should never believe reshuffle rumours" and insisted it was unfounded.
Sources close to Mrs Baldwin said she is happy staying where she is and never had an inkling she was in the frame despite media links.
"This reshuffle is about putting in place a strong team to deliver a long term plan that ensures a brighter future for our country and to win us a majority at the next election," she said.
Amid the wide-ranging changes, by far the most extensive overhaul Mr Cameron has made as Prime Minister, more than a dozen male junior ministers lost their jobs.
The number of women in the Cabinet has doubled from three to six.
Foreign Secretary William Hague has moved to a lower profile role as commons leader and has announced he will retire next year.
Defence secretary Philip Hammond takes over his job, while treasury minister Nicky Morgan is the new education secretary.
Worcester MP Robin Walker said: "We've been so used to there not being big changes - we've never had a reshuffle like this since 2010 but everyone in the Cabinet has got there on merit.
"The biggest surprise is William Hague and Michael Gove."
Elsewhere, veteran minister Ken Clarke has left the Cabinet while Liz Truss, a 38-year-old education minister first elected in 2010, has become the environment secretary after Owen Paterson was sacked.
Mr Paterson was instrumental in the controversial badger cull pilot which took place in parts of Worcestershire.
Mark Harper who quit as immigration minister after admitting employing an illegal immigrant as a cleaner, is back in the Government overseeing work and pensions.
The changes are the final roll of the dice for Mr Cameron's Government before next year's general election.

The Spark DataGrid is almost ready to ship. We ran out of time to do some of the things MX DataGrid could do, including popular things like drag and drop of columns to change the order of the columns, and drag and drop of items to copy or move items to and from other DataGrids and Lists or within the same DataGrid.
I found some time to show how to add that to the DataGrid. I was able to do it without subclassing, which indicates that we got the public APIs right, but if you want to have multiple DataGrids in your app, I would fold the drag/drop code into a subclass anyway. In the demo, there is an empty list below the DataGrid you can drag to or drop from.
If you're wondering why we couldn't bake this into DataGrid even though I had time to code it up on my blog, it is because of the time required to test and debug and handle drag/drop of cell selection. It is a prototype, not finished code. But I'll bet we'll integrate code like this into a future release.
I also created the Spark version of the CheckBox in MX DataGrid post. I like this implementation of using CheckBoxes in DataGrid when the dataProvider doesn't have a slot to store the selected state. You can use the selectedIndices or selectedItems to access which items are checked without having to loop through your dataProvider. In creating this post, I also created the Spark version of the tri-state CheckBox (a CheckBox with a partially filled check box that indicates that not all items are selected in the DataGrid. It was pretty easy to do because the skin parts are easily accessible and it is easy to add a new state to the CheckBox.
Usual caveats apply: not officially supported, may not fix bugs, etc.

Piper's Pit: Showstealler of Wrestlemania?
by, 03-20-2012 at 02:45 AM (3357 Views)
We all know Cena vs. The Rock is going to close up Wrestlemania, but what match will really shine this year? Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk and The Hell in a Cell match would be most people's answer, but what about the undercard?
The tag-team match is horribly frowned upon among the IWC, but if it were actually to be elimination rules, it could be amazingly made to define the WWE and actually bring change, or it will flop and everything is the same, just with a different General Manager for one of the shows.
What not to do:
A one fall to a finish 7-minute tag team piss break with no aftermath at all for good or bad (in other words, exactly what WWE will do).
Randy Orton vs. Kane has a terrible premise of the match: oh my god! I shook your hand! How horrible of me! How could I ever display such sportsmanship and decency? So the buildup is just awful, but the match itself could be an instant classic, even with me not being a Randy fan at all, it could work. However, IMO this match should be a street fight because of why the match is happening. Even thought a street fight is just kendo sticks, chair-shots to the back, and throwing boxes at your opponent, these two could just destroy the rest of Wrestlemania by putting on one hell of a show
What not to do:
Kane is the genaric heel, squashing Randy, blah blah blah, chokeslam, kick out, blah blah blah, Randy's bad combo, RKO, Randy wins.
I don't want to get into the diva's match
What not to do:
The match itself
Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan: I'm predicting a squash match here, but they could make it work. I am very outspoken on my pure hatred towards Sheamus, and I don't care for the match itself, but such contradicting styles as a brawler and a technical wrestler. A real match could be put on. Showstealler? Not likely, but it could remain a nice, better than normal ppv match that makes people care about winning the money in the bank and royal rumble again.
What not to do:
Sheamus squashes Bryan.
Cody Rhodes vs. Big Show: Not a contender for showstealer, but it could be good. I'm hoping Cody retains the title, and then defends it more often than only on the big 4 ppv's. Not a great match, but one of the best people Cody could fight besides the injured Ted Dibiase.
What not to do:
A dragged out match with a bad ending (I have a hunch).
So the card looks good for a nowadays ppv, so everybody stop complaining about everything that is happening on the Grandest Stage of them all. This will be the Grandest Stage in a long while, but what will stand out? At this point I'll cast my vote for the Jericho vs. Punk match, but the Randy vs. Kane is a top contender in my book, while the others fall behind at their current states.

josephjpeters - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkNo, this is their own design just fab'd by Marvell. It has a different clock speed as Anand mentions. Reply
gunblade - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkYou're joking right? Marvell is fabless company. In this case, it is marvell designed controller with a Indilinx name on it Reply
josephjpeters - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkSorry about the fab comment, I was wrong. Regardless, it's not the same controller. Reply
jwilliams4200 - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkYes, the Everest 2 is very nearly identical to the Marvell 88SS9187. Reply
iceman98343 - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkcan you elaborate further on this development? Reply
josephjpeters - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkWhy would they just give this silicon away? Reply
jwilliams4200 - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkYou're joking, right? Marvell does not give anything away. OCZ obviously pays for it. Reply
josephjpeters - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkIt's not a joke because until now, OCZ has implied it was their own controller.
The next logical question is how much do they pay? Reply
josephjpeters - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkAnswered my own question:
For those of you who want to know, OCZ pays the same as they would with any fab (ie. TSMC). Reply
ckryan - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkOCz was very careful to couch their marketing -- "indilinx infused" etc. Reply
iceman98343 - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linki'm guessing inidlinx played a mjaor role in writing the firmware. thus "indlinx infused" Reply
gunblade - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkIsn't it mentioned here in AT that Petrol is also using the same silicon? Or is the Petrol using the real Indilinx controller instead of a re-badged Marvell? Reply
kensiko - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkpetrol is the same as Octane 1. Only the Nand is different. Reply
gunblade - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkI have searched and haven't found any PCB board pic of the Petrol. On the OCZ firmware update page, the firmware is not listed at the same column and have vastly different revision. The other similar controller based products ( Agility3 with Vertex 3, Vertex with Agility) are all sharing the same firmware. Reply
ICBM - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkI would assume Petrol uses the same controller. From reading this, there is no real Indilinx controller.
I have been using an Octane since November and it has rocked, though I feel like OCZ blatently lied to me though. I bought the Octane, because I was a fan of the old barefoot controller from Indilinx. Reply
josephjpeters - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkAgain, as I wrote above this is not true. It's their own controller design and it's not available through any other 3rd parties. In fact, OCZ will be selling the design to other SSD manufacturers.
As much as some would want you to believe, OCZ is not scamming you. Reply
extide - Friday, April 13, 2012 - linkNobody said OCZ is scamming anyone. However it is pretty clear this is an off-the-shelf Marvell controller using OCZ/Indilinx's own custom designed firmware. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with that. If the silicon is fast enough and has the correct capabilities, then the firmware is the secret sauce anyways. Reply
yottabit42 - Friday, April 13, 2012 - linkI echo ICBM's comment.
My first SSD was the original OCZ VERTEX based on the Indilinx controller. Years later it is still performing admirably and without any problems ever. But compared to newer generations of SSDs it was slow, and I only had the 64 GB version since it was so expensive at the time when they were first released.
Then I bought a Crucial C300, a Marvell-based solution, because I have much respect for Crucial/Micron memory quality, but was very frustrated because of an apparent incompatibility with the Intel 5-series chipset that was being used in my lappy at the time, causing random I/O locks/pauses for 2 minutes at a time every 20 to 60 minutes. I tried numerous driver and registry fixes, and all the new firmwares, but nothing ever completely solved the problem. I put that SSD in my newly built AMD-based system and it's performed perfectly.
To replace the unusable Crucial C300 with the I/O locks, I bought the latest Corsair SandForce-based SSD. The first one lasted 2 days. The second one, 2 weeks. The third one, 1 week. When I received the fourth drive back on RMA from Corsair I just sold it on eBay. Good riddance.
Finally when OCZ released the OCTANE--with the stellar benchmarks and commitment to IMFT NAND and the Indilinx name--I bought one right away. I had a complete partition corruption with it the first week of use, but then updated to the new firmware (the destructive update) and haven't had a problem since, for nearly four months now of everyday intensive use. I have the 128 GB version and am using it in a new Core i7-based lappy with 8 GB of RAM and the Intel 6-series chipset. I Hibernate the entire 8 GB to the SSD at least once per day on average, too.
I also have Chrome doing intensive things, usually gobbling up 4-5 GB of RAM, plus have a huge Outlook store open, much abuse of Excel doing database-like data manipulations, and some other engineering applications with heavy I/O workloads. I still backup my drive at least once per day using Macrium Reflect since I've been bitten so often by failures of the SandForce-based Corsair drive, but luckily other than that one strange corruption that happened that first week (and I haven't seen anyone else report a likewise corruption on the OCZ forums) it has been a stellar success for me.
I've also sold a few PETROL drives to customers in AMD-based new builds and haven't had any reports of problems. I'm considering buying my entire team of 18 field engineers the OCTANE for use in their lappies in the field since the speed and solid-state reliability will enhance their work productivity.
I should mention that I have had very occasional I/O locks/pauses with the OCTANE drive. They were occuring once or twice per week, and the event would last 30 seconds. Earlier this week I applied a Registry patch to disable all Intel chipset power management features for that SATA port which reportedly fixes the problem. I've yet to see another I/O lock/pause, but it has been less than a week. I'm hopeful that problem has gone away.
Funny enough, when that I/O lock/pause first occurred, it immediately brought back the dread and despair I felt with the Crucial C300 Marvell-based SSD. Luckily it only lasted 30 seconds and only rarely occurred, so I pressed on and was willing to live with it since at that duration and frequency it was only a very minor inconvenience for all of the other advantages.
Now that I find out it's a Marvell-based controller after all, I feel a little cheated because had I known this, I wouldn't have bought it because of the problems I had with the Crucial drive and Intel chipsets.
However, with the endurance I've seen so far, and the possible I/O pause/freeze workaround I have in place now, I'm planning to still purchase these drives into the future--especially now that the price dropped 35% after release of the VERTEX 4!
I'm sure the VERTEX 4 is amazing, but quite honestly, the OCTANE is incredible enough, and a much better value. :o) Reply
klmccaughey - Saturday, June 02, 2012 - linkEither you are making that all up or you have something dodgy in your system. That many drive failures, my guess is they got the drives back and found they were working fine. Since when does Chrome tae 4Gig? Reply
ckryan - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkA01 to the rescue. Reply
ckryan - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkThis is something that has been alluded to for a while now over on XS. The FW is all indilinx and OCZ, at least on the Vertex4. The Octane is suspiciously like older Marvell drives. The FtL and FW are what is really important though. Look at Arrowana vs. Cognac. Reply
surfsupdude - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkLooks like Indilinx to me - where is the Marvell proof? Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkOCZ confirmed it to me today.
Take care,
Anand Reply
iceman98343 - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkso what are the implications for ocz? does this hurt them?> Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkI don't believe so - the drives remain unchanged, who provides the silicon doesn't really matter but it's an interesting distinction. The firmware and validation are much more important in this case.
Take care,
Anand Reply
iceman98343 - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkfrom your past reviews and i gather from what ryan p has said, it seemed like OCZ was giving us the impression that this controller was exclusive to indlinx. Seems like a bad slap in the face. Why pay $30 million then for indilinx if they can't even release a controller... Reply
extide - Friday, April 13, 2012 - linkThis controller/firmware combination IS exclusive to OCZ. And they bought indilinx for the engineers who can write that firmware. They made out just fine. Reply
jwilliams4200 - Friday, April 13, 2012 - linkLOL. I'm pretty sure they could have hired two or three excellent firmware engineers for a LOT less than a $32 Million signing bonus. Reply
darkfoon - Sunday, May 20, 2012 - linkDo you have any idea how difficult firmware is to write? Buying a company with proven firmware engineers (and associated IP) is much smarter than just hiring a few good engineers. You buy a team of people who have worked together successfully, and you buy the IP and experience they have together so you aren't starting from nothing. That alone is worth the $32 million.
Also, in case you didn't know, excellent firmware engineers aren't just floating around waiting to be hired like fruit dangling from a low-hanging branch. Reply
iceman98343 - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkso are you saying this is the same marvell controller as the plextor m3? we need more information.... Reply
Beenthere - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkYeah and we know how well that's worked out for Intel in the past... or NOT. Reply
dgingeri - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkI just got a 120GB Vertex 4, and now I find this out. I feel lied to. While I was considering getting an m4, and finally decided to get the Vertex 4, I could have had the m4 for $40 cheaper at the same store. Now I find out they're pretty much the same. I am really disappointed, OCZ. Reply
jwilliams4200 - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkActually, the m4 uses the Marvell 88SS9174, while the Vertex 4 uses a rebadged 88SS9187, so the V4 has a better controller.
But the V4 firmware is OCZ, and they did a poor job with low QD sequential reads.
The Plextor M3P (which uses the older 9174) is still a better SSD than the Vertex 4, and I expect Plextor will release a new model soon (using the 9187) that will be even better. Reply
ajp_anton - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkIf you bought it for the name, it's your fault if you're not satisfied.
If you bought if for the performance, this doesn't change anything. It's still the same drive you saw in the reviews. Reply
dgingeri - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkyou have a point there. I saw the performance, I wanted a drive without the issue I've heard about the Sandforce drives. this one seemed to fit the bill. Reply
extide - Friday, April 13, 2012 - linkIt still had the OCZ exclusive firmware so it's NOT the exact same drive as a Crucial M4 or Plextor M3 Reply
jwilliams4200 - Friday, April 13, 2012 - linkBoth the Crucial and Plextor models have their own excellent firmware. The fact that OCZ's people wrote some firmware is not an advantage. Reply
Movieman420 - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkI'd be willing to bet that it won't be long until Ocz gets the Everest 2 fw how they want it (ie better low queue depth performance). Once that's accomplished I fully expect that they will start using 24nm toggle.It'll probably be deemed the Vertex 4 MaxIOP. I'll be holding out for the 24nm version to launch before getting a pair of 128's for a R0 boot array.
Anand said his tip was that the V4 is using the 9174 marvell...but there are a few posts by peeps who think it's the 9187. If I had to guess, I'd say they're using the 9174 for the Octane line and the 9187 in the V4. We know for sure that at least one of the two (prolly the V4) have been tweaked by Ocz via a faster clock and possibly their latest FTL and maybe faster ram for the cache...but not sure what ram is in the other Marvell makers drives using the 9187. I'm sure more of the details/blanks will be filled in soonish...I hope anyway. Reply
jwilliams4200 - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkNo. Anand did NOT say that the tip was that the V4 is using the 9174. He said the tip was that the Everest controller is a 9174.
Anand said that he confirmed that both the Everest and Everest 2 controllers are based on Marvell hardware.
The Vertex 4 uses what OCZ calls the "Everest 2" controller, which (although Anand did not write it) appears to be nearly identical to the 9187. Reply
kamm2 - Thursday, April 12, 2012 - linkHats off to you jwilliams4200. I saw your comments last weekend about this (http://www.anandtech.com/show/5719/ocz-vertex-4-re... and no one believed you. Reply
iwod - Wednesday, April 11, 2012 - linkSo what does indilinx brings? If they are just simple Marvel Controller with different Firmware? Then they are nothing more then an M3 Pro / M4 / 520 etc.... Reply
grahamnp - Thursday, April 12, 2012 - linkYes, this was very disingenuous of them. They basically attempted to mislead customers into thinking they had their own controller when they effectively no different from any of the other Marvell using drive manufacturers.
To be fair it does seem like the firmware is quite a radical departure from the typical Marvell drive but to tout the advantages of the "Everest" when it is effectively somebody else's drive is deceptive. Reply

They tried to hide it and it is the last time I will buy from them. Reply
aaloto - Monday, April 16, 2012 - linkHacztor, please can you shut the f#@? up, you are beginning to irritate the hell out of me. I hope you never buy from OCZ again, you stupid ignorant twat. I wonder why the hell you bother to read reviews or bench marks. I come here to read quality scientific based reviews by Anand, and intellectual discussions based on his findings on the review. This is not the place to come and lament, if you have shares in OCZ nor the place to come and do a song and dance if you dislike the company, for whatever reason.
As much as it is interesting to know that the Vertex 4 and indeed the Octane were based on Marvel hardware, I dont give a damn whether or not you've been deceived by OCZ. Go sue them if you like but get the f#@? off the thread would you, pretty please! :o(
Does anyone else think OCZ might be able to improve the Vertex 4 firmware for better read performance without affecting its excellent write capabilities? Or is there some feature of the SSD's design that suggests, optimising its WRITE capability will adversely affect its READ? Reply

alan1476 - Saturday, April 14, 2012 - linkI have made a little discovery on my own, with all Vertex drives and yes I have many of them, its always wise to wait until a few firmware updates ahve been indroduced before plunking down you cash, jmho, but people will do what they choose, its just my way of doing things with OCZ SSDs. Reply
aaloto - Wednesday, April 18, 2012 - linkI think that is the only sensible approach to take, I have the vertex 3 120GB maxiops on my PC rig, but looking to get an SSD with a higher capacity and better WRITE performance for my Mac, I have no loyalty to any particular brand, performance and price rules the waves for me. But we dont know if OCZ sees the relative poor READ performance of the vertex 4 as something they want to fix. One would hope so! I hope they do and sometime soon too.
I Wonder if Anand has any info on that. Reply
Zarathustra[h] - Wednesday, July 25, 2012 - linkThe reviews on Anandtech were with the release firmware of the Vertex 4.
There are two more recent revisions of the firmware out, and it seems to have addressed the queue depth issue with the Vertex 4, bringing read speeds up to par with write speeds...
I'm hoping Anandtech will consider revisiting their Vertex 4 review with the new firmware. Reply
Zarathustra[h] - Wednesday, July 25, 2012 - linkIs it just me, or does that chip look like its been sanded down, and then restamped with the indilinx logo? :p Reply

Verbal Cues
By popular demand, following is a list of verbal cues your players should be familiar with. They are brief, easy to understand signals soccer players use to communicate and direct play during game situations. Go over these terms with your players so they will understand them and begin to shout them out during practices and games.
Remember, Silent Saturday is coming up -- your kids are going to have to be able to communicate with each other since you'll be dummying up!
Time – don't rush a kick; you have time to look around and pass
Drop – run backwards, with your eyes on the ball, to set up the defense
Turn – you are clear to turn and dribble
Man On! – opposing player closing in; pass or protect the ball
Numbers Up – we have an advantage; move toward the opposing goal
Same – don't interfere with your teammate
Open Up – run to an open space for a pass
Goal side – get between the ball and our goal
Look Square – pass to the teammate even with you
Trailing – teammate following behind you for support
Keeper! – goalkeeper's ball; let him/her get it
Overlap – coming around from behind you, looking for a pass
Wing or Line – send the ball out to a teammate on the touch line
Mark Up – step up to defend an open opposing attacker (especially during a corner kick)
Away! – clear the ball from in front of our goal
Pressure – defenders move up toward the half line
Settle – relax, there's no one on you, start a new play
Cross – send the ball in front of the opposing goal from the wing
Carry – the way is open; run with the ball yourself
Switch – cross the ball to the opposite side of the field
Eyes – pick your head up and look around
Close – step up to delay an attacking player

Alvarez-Trout big, but it's not 1993
Published 11:28 pm, Saturday, March 2, 2013
The eyes of the boxing world will be on the Alamodome on April 20 when Saul "Canelo" Alvarez makes his Texas debut against Austin Trout to unify the junior middleweight belts.
This is not a tune-up, a fight put together for the sole purpose of showcasing a superstar against an obscure foe.
Trout is a worthy opponent, a world champion with a legitimate shot at winning.
It's a megafight for San Antonio, the best we've seen in recent memory.
But it's not the second coming of Chavez-Whitaker.
That showdown drew nearly 60,000 fans to the Alamodome 20 years ago. Many of them made the trip up from Mexico to witness history in the making.
Sports Channel
It was a once-in-a-lifetime event.
The dome was filled to the rafters, but it was a different time, a different set of circumstances.
Local promoters "Jesse" James Leija and Mike Battah are working with Golden Boy Promotions in putting this event together.
While it's important to think big, they would be making a mistake to think they can recreate Chavez-Whitaker.
It would be a mistake to open the dome to full football capacity — as they're considering — and to expect another crowd of 60,000 or even anywhere close.
Julio Cesar Chavez and Pernell Whitaker were the No. 1 and No. 2 pound-for-pound fighters in the world.
The Alamodome was brand new and promoter Don King had five months to publicize the mega event. He even moved to the Alamo City temporarily to do so.
Alvarez-Trout should draw well, 20,000-30,000 or so, depending on traffic from across the border. Sensible ticket pricing also will have an effect.
Using a scaled-back dome configuration, the place will be packed and rocking.
While Alvarez is a superstar in Mexico, his popularity is still growing in the United States. And Trout, while talented, is a virtual unknown.
So it's time for enthusiasm, to rally the troops. But it's also time to temper expectations and be realistic.
"When it became clear that Canelo was not going to be fighting in Las Vegas (on May 4), they were the first ones on the phone calling me," Schaefer said. "They've been out to see me in Los Angeles several times over the past several months pitching San Antonio for a big fight. They deserve all the credit."
In addition to the April 20 event here, they're promoting a show a week earlier, April 13, at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi.
That's great for boxing fans, but two shows that close together could make it difficult to effectively publicize both.
Former world champion Juan Diaz of Houston is coming out of retirement to headline in Corpus. San Antonio fighters likely to appear include Aaron Rosa and Kendo Castaneda.
Trout won the WBA junior middleweight title in 2011 by beating Rigoberto Alvarez in Guadalajara. Rigoberto is Canelo's older brother.

Twisted UpSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
Bob looked at an arrow. He instructed Maria to move according to the arrow. She couldn't because she was in a tight spot. She collapsed, exhausted.
What just happened?

Elizabeth Anderson, a former legal aid client, sums up the need for civil legal assistance this way: "For the first time in 17 years, I had the help and protection I needed to free myself and my sons from abuse."
Anderson, a paralegal with the Middlesex County District Attorney's Office, addressed the more than 500 attorneys attending the eighth annual Walk to the Hill at the Statehouse, which was co-sponsored by the Massachusetts Bar Association, the Boston Bar Association and the Equal Justice Coalition.
The event is designed to emphasize the need for legal services. This year, the Massachusetts Legal Assistance Coalition is asking lawmakers to increase funding by $5 million to address the shortage of civil legal services for the state's low-income residents.
"Although the Massachusetts legal community continues to make strides in improving access to justice for all Massachusetts citizens, it is a frustrating reality that the available resources fall short of the need," said MBA President Mark D Mason. "By properly funding legal aid, we will have an overwhelmingly positive impact in the livelihoods of many low-income families throughout our commonwealth."
Two major economic studies have concluded that legal aid is the only service that consistently brings down the level of domestic violence in the communities it serves. In addition, legal aid in domestic violence cases often results in health care coverage and collection of child support, saving further state dollars.
Last year, MLAC-funded legal aid programs provided individual assistance that benefited a total of 124,000 Massachusetts residents, including family members. This assistance was provided by 207 attorneys and 60 paralegals who counsel, advise and represent the clients of local programs.
Legal aid programs deliver assistance to low-income residents efficiently and effectively, collaborating extensively with other providers of services to low-income people in order to make the best use of limited resources.

Last week at the GigaOM Structure conference in San Francisco, Simon Crosby, the former CTO of Citrix Systems' data center and cloud division, announced the eyebrow-lifting news of his departure from Citrix, along with Ian Pratt, chairman of Xen.org and co-founder of XenSource. The two have decided to leave Citrix in order to form a new stealth company called Bromium.
Crosby and Pratt are joined by Gaurav Banga, the former CTO and senior vice president of Phoenix Technologies, who led the creation of two new product lines: HyperSpace, a new platform for instant-on and power efficient computing, and FailSafe, a cloud-based antitheft and device management system for the PC. Banga will serve as the new stealth company's president and CEO, Crosby as CTO, and Pratt will be senior vice president of products.

The stealth company also announced it had raised its Series A round of funding in the amount of $9.2 million from Andreessen Horowitz, Ignition Partners, and Lightspeed Venture Partners. This round of funding from Andreessen Horowitz reunites Crosby and Pratt with former XenSource CEO, Peter Levine, who also becomes a Bromium board member.
Bromium may still be in stealth mode, but Simon Crosby did reveal a bit more information in what should be his final blog post as a member of the Citrix team. Crosby stated that Bromium is "fusing deep virtualization and security systems DNA to build a powerful set of tools that can offer continuous endpoint protection."
Crosby added one other interesting piece of information when he said that Bromium doesn't intend on competing with any of the virtual infrastructure or security vendors that are currently out there. That information should be pleasing to Citrix.
According to one of Crosby's presentation slides at Structure, Bromium's technology is said to secure application clouds and virtual desktops, as well as rich client devices. It plans on running on multiple processor platforms, including x86 and ARM, and will be optimized for mobile devices.
InfoWorld was able to catch up with Simon Crosby to find out more information about the new stealth company and some of Bromium's future plans.
InfoWorld Virtualization Report: Bromium's three founders are extremely well-versed in the virtualization industry. How did you all come together?
Simon Crosby: Ian and I have known Gaurav since he built the Phoenix Hyperspace BIOS implementation of the Xen hypervisor, which was launched in 2007. It was an extremely innovative system, and much of the thinking that went into it shaped the design of the currently shipping XenClient XT secure client hypervisor.
After he left Phoenix, Gaurav put together an architecture and initial implementation of a system that permits granular control of execution, with the specific goal of permitting policy-based security. He, Ian, and I decided to combine forces to create Bromium, pooling our deep systems focus on virtualization to develop a wholly new way of looking at endpoint security -- one in which the hypervisor can be used to mitigate the effects of even zero-day attacks.
InfoWorld: Bromium has quite an impressive background of board members and VC firms. What was it that attracted them to the company?
Crosby: Securing computing infrastructure (both client and cloud) is the most important challenge in the adoption of cloud computing, and enabling enterprises to adopt a more consumer-led approach to IT. Recently, the spate of new attacks on enterprises of all sizes has left the ecosystem staggered at the thought of escalations in cyber warfare and surveillance. Bromium has developed an extremely innovative and novel way to use virtualization to crack some tough security challenges.
The technology applies to clients and clouds, and it could have a profound effect on infrastructure security generally. But to succeed, it needs very deep systems expertise in security and virtualization. Our founding team has that, and our board brings in addition the business and investment experience we need, so it's a perfect combination.
Many of us have worked together before, and there is a level of trust and understanding between us that allows us to work together on hard problems, in a highly focused way.
InfoWorld: Cloud computing continues to thrive and analysts are predicting that its usage will continue to climb. This was a major topic at Citrix Synergy this year, and it's something you have been talking about for quite some time now. As you leave Citrix to begin a new adventure, what are your thoughts on the cloud's ongoing trend?
Crosby: Cloud computing will continue to have profound effects on both enterprise IT and on the consumer. Most enterprises think that "cloud" is synonymous with the ongoing process of greater automation and self service access to IT, via virtualization. We think of it the other way round: The cloud that is having the most dramatic effect on IT is the one that we adopt as technology consumers -- perhaps we can call it "the cloud in my pocket" -- in which consumer adoption of smartphones and tablets is having a dramatic effect on IT. Cloud computing is leading us into the post-PC era, and that has enormous effects on the client world, as well as server.
InfoWorld: Bromium is still in stealth mode, but the company seems to focus on the security aspect of cloud computing. Why did you decide to make that your focal point?
Crosby: Bromium is focused on the delivery of infrastructure solutions that permit enterprises to safely embrace two major trends in IT: consumerization and cloud computing. The rapid growth of new device types and consumer-driven device, app and network choices, combined with increasing mobility and the need for "anywhere, anytime access" to enterprise data and applications, poses a significant risk to the enterprise.
The rapid adoption of cloud computing leaves enterprise data and applications vulnerable to attack. Bromium's technology will permit the development of a powerful set of solutions to these problems and deliver a more trustworthy computing infrastructure.
InfoWorld: So what are the next steps for Bromium, and what are your plans for this newly announced round of funding?
Crosby: Bromium is tackling some very challenging problems. The first order of business will be to close the door to the world and build real products that we can show to customers. We're hiring in California and Cambridge, U.K., and we are developing our road map. It will be quite a relief to get the fuss over with, so we can get on with building a real system.
I've been asked why we raised so much money. The answer there is easy: Developing hypervisor-based systems is expensive. We need real hardware and have to produce complex software that works well on a broad list of systems from OEMs, and test and QA are very substantial challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions about Viruses
Last Updated: Mon, 25 Apr 2016 > Related Articles
Learn general information about viruses and how to protect your computer.
Briefly, three different items are commonly called a virus.
- A true "Virus" is a program that attempts to cripple your computer by "infecting" key files and spreading itself on to others. It might change critical files or perform unwanted functions like erasing your hard drive. NATAS (Satan backwards) is a particularly nasty virus.
- A Trojan Horse will leave your computer accessible for other people to use (a common Trojan Horse is Back Orifice). Once a Trojan Horse is installed they may "bounce" through your machine as a way to cover their tracks and do other damage. A Trojan Horse commonly gives access to all the information stored on your hard drive, so they can read what you have, or use you as their storage server.
- A Worm will travel from system to system and gather information and send it on, also doing collateral damage along the way. The recent ILOVEYOU scare was basically a worm.
How do I keep from getting a virus? One of the designs of a virus is not only to infect you, but to spread itself. Some have been know to read an address book, and e-mail itself to everyone in the book (prettypark) or attaches itself to every outgoing mail (Happy99). So, simple steps to be safe include:
- Don't open an email attachment if you don't know the sender, or the message text or attachment name seems odd.
- Scan all attachments and files you receive with a frequently updated anti-virus program.
- Don't download from sites you are unfamiliar with or sites that may be questionable.
Help! I have a Virus. What do I do? Stop! Do as little as possible on that machine, because every click could spread the infected program. A web search will usually turn up several resolutions for your particular virus. Please try the Anti-Virus Software's site for detailed information. Anti-Virus Software:

DES MOINES, Texas - The Polk County Convention Center is in the heart of Des Moines, Iowa. It's where the GOP votes will be tabulated for Tuesday night's caucus.
It's a unique and fascinating process that sets the tone for the race to the White House.
The list of GOP presidential candidates is long, as is the campaign trail.
Just about every hopeful has held a spot at the top of the leader board at some point, making the Iowa caucus even more puzzling, yet critical.
High school senior Matthew Murphy of Ohio is in Iowa with 43 of his classmates to study the caucus process.
"It gives the first notion of where the country is heading and who might be the potential nominee for the Republican party and who will face Obama in 2012, so I think there's definitely still merit in the Iowa caucuses," Murphy said.
It's almost like being in jury deliberations where behind closed doors in precinct caucuses across the state, supporters of the candidates will try to sway voters their way.
After about an hour, they'll choose their preference for the Republican nomination.
Teacher Mandy Bowen said, "What we see from the people here in Iowa is that they are more informed than most of the people we know, so I don't think you can say that it's outdated at all. I think it does have a lot of value for the Republican Party this year."
While some political experts question the validity of the Iowa caucuses, those who live here take the process very seriously and said the candidates should too.
Iowan Mandy DeVries explained, "People want to listen to us. We start paying attention to politics long before the rest of the country does and so we really take these candidates and look at them very, very seriously. We take our role very seriously and I think that's why people pay attention to it."
All eyes are on Iowa this week for that very reason.
Iowa can be a game changer. In the past, the caucuses have served as a wake-up call to complacent incumbents, think President George H.W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore.

A lost speech from 1962 by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. has been discovered; both on audiotape, and the text.
On Martin Luther King Day, it's both appropriate and fitting that a newly discovered speech by Dr. King has been released to the public, and presented in a video that allows one to follow along with Dr. King's speech, as an audio track, while also viewing the text he is reading. As Ashley Hupfl reports in USA Today, "the New York State Museum has unearthed a long-lost audio recording of a 1962 speech from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., state officials announced Monday. An intern found the recording as museum staff worked on digitizing thousands of audio and video recordings in its collection, [and it] has been posted to the museum's website.
'This is a remarkable treasure,' state Board of Regents Chancellor Merryl Tisch said in a statement. 'More than 50 years later, Dr. King's voice has come back to life.' The speech was recorded Sept. 12, 1962, at the Park-Sheraton Hotel in New York City, where Gov. Nelson Rockefeller had convened his state Civil War Centennial Commission. It was delivered at a dinner celebrating the 100-year anniversary of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation [. . .]
During the talk, King previewed many of the themes he would return to the following year in his 'Letter from a Birmingham Jail' and his 'I Have a Dream' speech at the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington. The online exhibit includes a manuscript of the speech and the original event program. The audio is the only known recording of the 1962 address."

HUNDREDS of mourners gathered at the Priory Church for the funeral of long-standing Christchurch and Dorset councillor David John Fox OBE yesterday.
Mr Fox was an active member of the Conservative party for most of his life and served on Dorset County Council, Christchurch Borough Council and the Dorset Fire Authority.
During his years of public service, for which he was awarded an OBE in 1991, the father-of-two served two terms as mayor of Christchurch, one as leader of Dorset County Council and was chairman of the Dorset Fire Authority for eight years.
Firefighters formed a guard of honour as his coffin was carried into the church, where family, friends and loved ones of the former Deputy Lieutenant of Dorset were joined by local dignitaries, including the mayor of Christchurch and the current Lord Lieutenant of Dorset.
Judy Jamieson MBE, chairman of Burton Parish Council, and Darran Gunter, chief fire officer for Dorset, led tributes during the service, which was conducted by Reverend Christopher Mann.
Mr Fox, who was 79 when he died, leaves his wife Norma and two sons Quillon and Tavis.
In a statement his family said they felt honoured so many people had come to pay their respects.
They said: "We are both humbled and honoured that David is being recognised by so many friends and colleagues for his years of contribution to public service.
"We feel that it is a true measure of the man that he never realised how respected he really was and he continued to work hard for the community up until last year when he stepped down from Dorset County Council due to his declining health.
"The family would like to thank the mayor and councillors of Christchurch and the Fire Service for recognising him in this way."

A princess anne is when the party of the first part loads their ass, which preferably has been cleaned, with whipped cream (a pressurized can is easiest, and the ones with the smooth, tapered applicator tips are most comfortable), and corks it with a cherry, with the stem poking out of their ass. The party of the first part then squats over the face of the party of the second part, who tugs at the cherry stem with his or her teeth. If everyone plays their part ... the party of the second part is careful not to pull too hard, which would break off the stem, and the party of the first part relaxes appropriatedly ... then a royal visitation will ensue.

Notice: This is a discussion thread for comments about the SitePoint article, [url=http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/ie6-ie7-ie8-win7-xp-mode]Run IE6, IE7, and IE8 on the Same Machine Using Windows 7 XP Mode.
Windows 7 Home users don't need their own Windows XP CD since they can download the free Application Compatibility VHDs from Microsoft that they've been offering for years.
The biggest advantages for the Microsoft Windows Virtual PC are the price (free) and the auto-generated software licenses for Windows XP. The disadvantage is that you're limited in the type of operating system you can run.
If your main concern is browser compatibility Microsoft Windows Virtual PC is a good choice. If you're doing development on a non-Microsoft OS as well, you can host both your development platform and your browser testing installations using VMWare.
You can get VMWare Player for free at http://www.vmware.com/products/player/. They've published a list of reasons it's "Better than Windows XP Mode" on that page as well.
Have heard rumors that IE6/7 need to run on a 32-bit machine, meaning they won't run on a 64-bit machine.
Before I go through the motion of installing all this, can anyone confirm/deny this?
How do i run files on localhost using these IE6 and IE7?
I believe the most current version replaces the older versions.
I like adobe browser labs, althought I costs money after a year, I like it.
By the LAN IP of the host computer (not localhost, but 192.168.x.x), as it's seen from the virtual PC. From the perspective of the VPC, localhost points to itself, the host OS is a separate computer.
In a word, awesome. Definitely the way to go and your instructions are seamless. Thanks for saving me a ton of work and making the most of my Win 7 Pro.
Well this article started off an adventure for me.
I bought a new HDD for my 4GB Core 2Duo Lenovo laptop, ordered my Win & upgrade disc (prior to this article I wasn't interested.)Eventually I got round to installing Win 7 and my apps. First issues were that VMWare server 1 didn't work, so I used VMware Player to get round that.Skipping more detail and onto implementing this artice. Great got my XP mode download and Virtual PC installed both skipping the HAV point, bad move. Can't use it as Intel have disabled HAV on this CPU; no BIOS options either. So that's it.Can't even run ordinary Virtual PC, on the same hardware I was running the compatibility images simultaneously with IE6 & IE7 in Win XP with it using only 3GB ram.
Its a shame as this seemed like a great way to test in these browsers.Looks like I have the following options:1) Replace HDD with original.2) Buy VM Ware Workstation so I can run more than one Xin XP VM again.3) Don't bother testing in IE6 or IE7.
Thanks for the article and a big thumbs down to Microsoft and Intel for downgrading my environment with their upgrades.
sucks about your system mate, but otherwise that article is great, helped me out too
I'd suggest using IEtester. It is free and works perfectly on every version of Windows.
XP mode no longer requires virtualization hardware.
I've completely failed to get VM working in the past too, couldn't be bothered with it in the end.
Gave Win7 a full week before reverting back to XP. Following week they announce the removal of HAC. Anyway now giving Win7 another go due to power management working well.
Followed these instructions but my VMs won't boot, they try to boot from the network with PXE.

CHP officer reads a Dr. Seuss book to children in Fortuna
FORTUNA- The Public Information Officer for the California Highway Patrol office in Arcata usually spends his day dealing with the media and writing press releases. However, he spent Monday reading a Dr. Seuss book to a group of kids in Fortuna.
Officer Matt Harvey read, "Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?" to about 20 children, who are up to five years old. The bilingual group of kids is part of South Fortuna Elementary School's Play Group. The reading was in celebration of "Read Across America Day," a nation-wide, annual reading awareness program that falls on or near the birthday of children's author Dr. Seuss. Officer Harvey said the event did more than teach the children in the play group the importance of reading.
"We want to be seen as an agency that's approachable. And I think this is part of the efforts to do that. Really, what it comes down to is helping save lives and show kids that, 'Hey law enforcement is friendly, we're positive, we're approachable and we're safe," said Officer Harvey.

A GANG who admitted their parts in a burglary which saw a £240,000 cannabis factory unearthed have been warned that they could face jail.
Police initially uncovered the 600-plant haul last April after officers stopped two vans close to Burnley town centre.
Around 200 cannabis plants were seized from the vehicle – and a further raid on the former McBrides factory in Ruskin Street revealed another 400 specimens.
The plants were said to be around 12 to 18 inches high and the street value of the drugs produced by each would have been approximately £400.
And now three men– all from the Bradford area – have appeared at Burnley Crown Court to plead guilty to their role in the burglary.
Russell Coope, 26, of Sheldon Ridge, Giovanni Maccioni, 38, of Waincliffe House, Fearnville Drive, Laisterdyke, and Ian Batey, 50, of Radnor Street, each admitted the offence and possessing cannabis.
The court heard Batey, a widower, had a record, but had not offended for 20 years. Maccioni had no previous convictions.
All three were remanded on bail until April 24, for pre- sentence reports.
Judge Beverley Lunt said: "All sentencing options, including prison, will be considered, although the decision will be made when the pre- sentence reports have been read."
Speaking at the time, Det Sgt Mark Gillbrand had described the farm as a 'very large and complex set-up', with a number of small rooms created for growing the drug and expensive filters employed.
The cleaning products factory closed down at the end of March 2012, with the loss of 350 jobs, and residents subsequently fought against converting the premises into a waste plant.

Gianfranco Zola says it important Watford reduce the size of their squad before making new signings and added it is "not my concern" which players the club are targeting.
Since the Pozzos' takeover in the summer, the Hornets have adopted a more continental style of player recruitment; with the technical director Gian Luca Nani and the scouting department deciding which players to sign rather than using a manager-led system, which is more common in the United Kingdom.
Watford have missed out on the signings of Hull City's Robbie Brady and Manchester City midfielder Jeremy Helan during this transfer window, with Birmingham City's Nathan Redmond reportedly the latest target for the club.
When Zola was asked about the club's interest in Helan earlier this week, Zola replied: "My job is on the pitch with the players I have, then if the club sees an opportunity to improve the team then they may do it.
"It is not my concern. My concern is that I have a lot of players here and I want to try to make them play well together."
Watford have terminated the contracts of several players this month, both permanent and loan deals.
A number of Hornets' players are also currently out on loan and Zola stressed it is important to find the right balance between new arrivals and outgoings.
He said: "I think before we have any new arrivals, I have always said, we need to make sure we trim the squad a bit. The players who are not playing need to find somewhere to play because it is good for them.
"Then we will see if there is the possibility to improve in certain positions but the main thing is trimming the squad here."

The Crap We Missed – Tuesday 6.19.12
Welcome to Tuesday's The Crap We Missed where today's paparazzi leavings include Snooki being the exception to the rule about how awesome pregnant boobs are, Wilmer Valderrama understanding that most high school girls are attracted to dangerous thug-types, as well as Christopher Walken still being a badass even if his K-Mart warm-up pants are up to his nipples. Finally, hey Hollywood, is this how you're seriously honoring Steve Jobs?
You should all be ashamed of yourselves,

"As a fan of Victoria's Secret, this design was absolutely perfect! It fit with the bridal shower and bachelorette party! Paper is good quality (thick and not flimsy). Color is on point and the shades of pink are the same as on the sample."
"I adjusted the title to say "Bachelorette Party & Lingerie Shower" and the designers were very helpful and prompt with their adjustments. The card is high quality and the printing looked great! I got the standard matte and it looks nice, but the frost/sparkle paper would make this card absolutely perfect. Very happy with my purchase! Will definitely use this company for all of my invitations!"
"This was a big hit for our party as we will be celebrating in the city . I added cute quotes on the back. Quality was great and received fast ."
"I loved everything about this invitation except that I could not get the customized color I was hoping for, and had to choose one 'close' to it...other than that, I was very satisfied with my invites and will definitely look to order from WPD in the future!"
"This was a perfect bachelorette invitation. Great quality, classy, cute. I got lots of compliments from the party guests. Very impressed :)"

Ava Gardner Is Dead at 67; Often Played Femme Fatale
Ava Gardner, a North Carolina sharecropper's daughter who became one of the most bewitching movie actresses in the world, died of pneumonia yesterday at her home in the Kensington section of London. She was 67 years old.
The star's death was announced by Paul Mills, a longtime friend and film producer, who said she had been ill for some time, particularly with respiratory problems, and had a stroke more than three years ago.
The actress had lived quietly in London for more than 30 year after being hounded for decades by photographers and reporters who publicized her marriages to Mickey Rooney, the band leader Artie Shaw and Frank Sinatra and her flamboyant escapades with matadors, international playboys and writers.
Working on Her Memoirs
Miss Gardner, who had been completing her memoirs, said in a recent interview, ''If you don't tell your side, the self-appointed biographers step in, adding to the abysmal lies.''
The actress, whose green eyes, chestnut hair, high cheekbones and sensual lips made her eminently photogenic, was known for femme fatale portrayals.
She brought a tigresslike seductiveness and a husky-voiced irreverence to roles as worldly, devil-may-care women, becoming adept at playing exotic vamps and free-spirited protagonists, as in films of such Ernest Hemingway stories as ''The Killers'' (1946), ''The Snows of Kilimanjaro'' (1952) and ''The Sun Also Rises'' (1957). In the loosely autobiographical ''Barefoot Contessa'' (1954), she played a fiery dancer who becomes a movie star.
Praise for Later Roles
She portrayed torch singers in ''The Hucksters'' (1947) and ''Show Boat'' (1951); an irrepressible playgirl in ''Mogambo'' (a 1953 role for which she won an Academy Award nomination); a tormented Anglo-Indian in ''Bhowani Junction'' (1956); a thoughtful cosmopolitan in ''On the Beach'' (1959), and a blowsy innkeeper in the film of Tennessee Williams's ''Night of the Iguana'' (1964).
Although she was mainly decorative in most of her early roles and many reviewers said her acting range was narrow, she won wide praise for many later performances. Nonetheless, she consistently denigrated her talent, remarking to a 1985 interviewer: ''Listen, honey, I was never really an actress. None of us kids who came from M-G-M were. We were just good to look at.''
Poverty in Childhood
Ava Lavinia Gardner was born on Dec. 24, 1922, in Grabton, a poor community outside Smithfield, N.C., to Jonas Bailey Gardner, a tobacco and cotton farmer, and Mary Elizabeth Gardner. Her father died when she was 16, and her mother then managed a boardinghouse.
Her childhood was marked by poverty and a wardrobe so meager it prompted ridicule from schoolmates. She took commercial courses in high school, and an older brother paid her tuition so she could continue secretarial studies for a year at Atlantic Christian College in Wilson, N.C.
At 18, she visited her eldest sister, Beatrice, in New York City, on a journey that transformed her life. Her brother-in-law, Larry Tarr, a commercial photographer, took a portfolio of pictures of her and sent them to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She was given a screen test in New York that was made without sound because of her heavy Southern drawl. The 1941 test won her a seven-year M-G-M contract and intensive diction lessons as well as a starlet's standard classes in acting, calisthenics, makeup and fashion.
Her next five years were notable for tiny roles in a score of mostly forgettable movies, a blizzard of publicity pictures - and two brief marriages, to Mickey Rooney and Artie Shaw. Each marriage ended in separation after less than a year and finally in divorce.
The 69-year-old Mr. Rooney, upon learning of her death, said yesterday, ''My heart is broken with the loss of my first love.''

NYX Cosmetics Extra Creamy Round Lipstick
NYX Cosmetics Extra Creamy Round Lipstick Reviews
good for the price, but not greatIt's very creamy and feels moisturizing. It doesn't feel heavy on the lips at all. Very rich in pigment and goes on smoothly. The only thing is that It has terrible staying power and it seems to clump almost immediately on my lips. — 6 years, 2 months agovolta | 566 reviews

NYX COSMETICS ROUND LIPSTICKI like this a lot! I have very pigmented pink lips, and when I apply this over them it turns out to be a very pretty light peach color. The formula is very creamy and moisturizing feeling. Personally, I don't smell or taste anything. The only con is the shimmer. The first time I applied it I felt the shimmer was too overbearing for everyday wear. The thing is, once you work through the first layer...read more of the lipstick in the tube I think the shimmer decreases. Maybe that's just my imagination. But now that I've used this a few times it's perfect for an everyday lip! I think this would go nicely on a lot of skintones, especially fair/warm. I'd buy again. I have medium-skin tone. NC35 to be exact. This is sooooo gorgeous on medium skin tone! This is the perfect nude lip stick! It doesnt make me look sick. Very hard to find a great nude color for medium skin tone. The texture is also very creamy and it lasts fairly oaky around 2 hours before it starts to rub off without eating or drinking. What I dont like about this is that since my lips are pigmented, it tends to highlight the lines on my lips so i had to get a lip concealer from etude house. But the color is really great. A pale peach color with a slight coral tinge to it. This is a great, everyday color. I would describe it as a peachy neutral. I usually wear this with my NYX mega shine lip gloss in smokey look and it looks great. My two complaints about this product; the taste and the frostiness. First, the taste is like detergent, absolutely awful. Luckily the mega shine conceals the bad taste. Second, I would not wear this without a lip gloss over it because of the frostiness. It can look quite garish without it. — 5 years, 4 months agomihshelle | 182 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

Salud. Grab a bottle and toast — Prost! Or Skal, chin chin, or Kambai. It's all the same when raise your glass. Cheers! Slainte! Here's mud in your eye!
You toast to life, to family, your favorite team, the people around you, and to good times and good friends. But what will you toast with? Read "Locally Brewed" by Anna Blessing and get some new ideas.
So you want to kick back this weekend with something different, and the choices seem endless. There's a reason for that, says Anna Blessing: in the year it took her to research and write her book, "a new brewery was opening somewhere in the country every day." She estimates that there are around 3,000 craft breweries in the United State — and while it's true that nobody has settled on a real definition of "craft brewery," there are just as many stories as there are meanings to the phrase.
The second-oldest family-owned brewery in America is in Minnesota, in a beautiful valley where peacocks roam the hops fields. You'll also learn in this book about a Minnesota brewery that has a law named after it.
Read about a Michigan brewery that was established because its founder had a scare with "the feds." You'll learn about a brewery co-started by an elementary school teacher; one that's "willing to try … sometimes crazy, flavor combinations"; and one that stayed in business, thanks to a $250,000 mug.
In Wisconsin, the nation's first USDA-certified organic beer is brewed by the same folks who crafted the "first fruit beer since Prohibition." You'll also read about a brewer's wife who's an "accomplished artist" and designs all their labels.
Using as-authentic-as-possible vessels, an Ohio brewer — who's not as passionate about beer as he is about history — makes beer based on ancient Sumerian recipes. Indiana is home to a brewery with a fanatical cult following and release parties that are attended by thousands. And Illinois is home to a tiny brewery that's "cramped for even one person to move around." It's also home to a Latin American brewery, and a brewery that was started because of a college class: they got an "A."
OK, now you're thirsty. And you're up for something different, so you'll want to make a list of tour information and beers you'd like to try while you're reading "Locally Brewed" and looking at its abundance of photographs. Author Anna Blessing makes that easy, since she offers brief (but fact-filled) chapters on 20 breweries and a small list of pubs that feature their beers — which I thought was a nice, tempting tease for beer-drinking readers. I loved seeing label and poster artwork here, and I also got a kick out of the "playlist" because, after all, what's beer without tunes and friends?
Even if you don't live in the above states, beer distribution is often wide and besides, says Blessing, maybe a "pilgrimage is in order." If that sounds like fun, grab a designated driver, a copy of "Locally Brewed," and hit the road.
Bottoms up!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/1/2013 (1682 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A group of five athletes, two builders, one coach and three teams. will be inducted into the Manitoba Softball Hall of Fame on May 4 at the 12th annual induction banquet at the Canad Inns Polo Park. Players to be inducted include the Newsham sisters, Heather (Newsham) Ruby and Sandy (Newsham) Maskiw along with Donna Manning and and posthumous inductions Dr. C. (Sheppy) Hershfield and Harold (Googs) Hindle. The builders inductees are Ernie Delorme and Garry Johnston along with coach Met Simenik (posthumous). The teams list includes 1930-1935 Native Sons (also known as The Canucks and formerly The Nifties), the 1972–1977 Clanwilliam Greys and the 1984–1987 Manitoba Men's Masters Team.
For tickets to the dinner, which are $60 each, contact Les Newman at 204-235-1674.
Softball Manitoba provided the following bios of the inductees:
*Dr C. Hershfield: Dr. C. (Sheppy) Hershfield was a unique softball pitching talent, 1914-1932. He began to pitch at Strathcona School where he and catcher, Charlie Krupp, led the school to 6 consecutive school division championships. During 1922-23, these two played exhibition games in Winnipeg and Manitoba, but when a city league was established in 1924, a series of championships followed. Charlie Krupp notes that "Sheppy had pin-point accuracy with all his pitches – the curve that moved both ways, drops, change of speed". He retired in 1932 after pitching YMHA to a city championship in the 7th game before a crowd of 8000. These fans gave him a standing ovation as he walked off the field one last time. A talent to remember.
*Harold (Googs) Hindle: Harold's rare softball talents energized crowds and communities. The seven years from 1928 to 1935, Harold or "Googs" as he was fondly known, emerged as the ace pitcher with the Elites. And later with the Uneeda's of the Winnipeg Senior Men's Diamond Ball League. On July 17, 1929, he allowed 3 hits in 11 innings to defeat the Young Men's Hebrew Association (YMHA); on June 8, 1932 he struck out 13 in 7 innings, and 10 days later, struck out 13. In 1935, he pitched a no-hitter and a I hitter. He pitched in 4 all-star games. An exciting pitching ace.
Heather Ruby (Newsham): As right handed pitcher and switch hitter, Heather was a dominant softball player provincially, nationally and internationally. She began ball in Roblin Park CC at age seven in 1984. She helped Roblin Park Pee Wees win Silver at the Westerns in 1992, Silver at the Bantam Westerns in 1993, Gold at the Midget Westerns in 1994. When she retired from Softball in 2002, she had won eight national batting championships, named All-Star Pitcher at the 1999 Nationals and declared Home Run Champion at 2001 Canada Cup. During these years, she repeatedly won provincial awards and honors. A gifted, determined, courageous athlete.
Sandy Maskiw (Newsham): Sandy was uniquely talented and highly skilled athlete. In fastball, she was an elite amongst elites. From pitching a no hitter against New Zealand in the 1991 Junior World Championships to the Canadian Senior A championship's MVP in 1999, top pitcher in 1995, '96, '97, top batter and MVP in 1998, no-hitter against Netherland Antilles and 1-0 finals loss against the USA at the 1999 Pan Am Games to her many provincial, national and international wins and all-star selections, Sandy was simply one of the best of the best.
Donna Manning: Donna learned to play softball at Laura Secord School in the 1930s. By 1946, she wore jersey # 13 with The Electrics of the Winnipeg Senior Women's Softball League. She was a dominating pitcher, league-leading hitter and superb outfielder. 1946-7, The Electrics; 1948-61, The Tigerettes; 1962-3, CUAC. She led her teams to repeated league championships, one Western Canadian Championship and was added for another, pitched several no hitters and a one hitter, won a league batting championship, an MVP and starred in many all-star games. For more than two decades, Donna brought excellence and excitement to Winnipeg softball. A unique and wonderful hero.
Ernest Delorme: For 40 years, Ernie was a dominant softball pitcher in south central Manitoba. Like everyone else in the 1930's, he started playing ball at school. Exhibition games and tournaments were played in a near-by pasture. However, in 1965, the Highway # 23 League was established. After playing his first year with Baldur, he joined the Mariapolis Blues. This team won repeated league championships and softball tournaments. Batters feared Ernie for the accurate location of his rising 'straight-balls' and curves; fans revered him for the excitement he brought to the game and the community; and, young players dreamed of one day becoming a Mariapolis Blue. Ernie, a legendary presence for softball.
Garry G. Johnston: For more than 30 years of softball, Garry Johnston was a highly respected player, coach, instructor, manager and board member. His amateur teams won seven provincial championships and two Western Canadian championships, and, his semi-professional team, The Internationals, competed well at the national and international levels. He served as board member for various leagues, as coordinator for the 1976 Softball Summer Games in Neepawa, as governor for the Manitoba Softball Association, as co-chair for both the 1998 Senior Women's Canadian Championships at Bloomberg and the 1999 Pan Am Games in Winnipeg. A kind, competent and encouraging force in Manitoba softball.
*Met Simenik: From 1947–1955, Met Simenik's teams won fourteen championships – seven league, five provincials and one Western Canadian. In their June 3, 1951 issue, Softball News reported him as 'the best manager in The 20th. Century Softball League'. It noted Met had single-handedly 'built the Northern Hotel dynasty', and in their August 30 issue, highlighted him as 'all-star manager for the 20th. Century All-Stars'. The News described him as a true sportsman, fair and honest with his players and the softball community. Met expected his players to excel, and excel they did.
Native Sons (The Canucks): The 1930, 1931 and 1935 Native Sons – also known as The Canucks, formerly The Nifties - were dominated Winnipeg Senior Men's softball. Two leagues competed - the Senior Diamond League and the Intermediate League. Top teams in each league competed for the combined city and provincial championship. The 1930 and 1931 Canucks won successive, league, city and provincial championships; in 1932, they won the league championship but lost the city and provincial championships to The Young Men's Hebrew Association (YMHA). After a two year hiatus, they returned in 1935 to win league, city and provincial championships. With ace Harold 'Googs' Hindle on the mound, the Canucks were once more dominant.
Clanwilliam Greys 1972-77: The 1972-77 Clanwilliam Greys Fastball Team represented the 100 inhabitant village of Clanwilliam, 40 miles north of Brandon. A team in their early 20s, they dominated fastball in southern Manitoba. They were undefeated during the first two seasons in the Minnedosa and District Fastball League; and, combined with tournament games, played 90 games in 1972 and 92 games in 1973. The latter brought them $1,100.00 in tournament prize money. With several additions, they joined the Brandon Centennial Fastball League in 1973, and by 1976, they won the league title and played in the Senior 'A' provincials for the 4th consecutive year. A dominating presence in league and provincial play.
Manitoba Men's Masters Softball Team 1984-87: The Manitoba Men's Masters, a roster of Manitoba all-stars, won two Gold, one Silver and one Bronze in four years of play at the Western Canadian Men's Twi-Lite Fastball Championships. An unusual accomplishment in a tournament with such high levels of talent, skill and softball sense, where one or two runs usually determine the score, where team chemistry needs to jell quickly, strongly, supportively. A great team, a superb effort, a 'gritty' determination.

Last ND-Penn Game Recap/Photos
PHILADELPHIA - It is only fitting to have Notre Dame visit the Cathedral of College Basketball. On Nov. 23, for the first time since 1981, the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team will host The Fighting Irish at The Palestra. Game time is to be determined.
"This is not only a great opportunity for our program to play against some of the best competition in the country," said head coach Mike McLaughlin, who will be entering his fifth season at the helm of the Quakers, "but this is also a great moment for our sport. We are thrilled to invite one of the nation's top teams into one of college basketball's most historic venues."
This will be Penn's third meeting all-time with Notre Dame and the second in three years. Penn played in South Bend for the first time in program history on Dec. 2, 2011 and fell to the third-ranked foe, 69-38. In the only other meeting at The Palestra, Penn fell, 62-47, on Dec. 18, 1981. The Quakers went into halftime tied with the Fighting Irish, 25-25, but couldn't keep up in the second half.
Last season, Notre Dame went 35-2, and 16-0 in the Big East on its way to a third straight Final Four appearance, where they lost to the eventual national champion for the third straight season. The Fighting Irish won a school record 30 straight games with its only other loss to No. 1-ranked Baylor in early December. The Irish won their second straight Big East regular season title and first conference tournament championship.
Notre Dame will be playing its inaugural season in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Quakers will be looking for their first-ever win over an ACC opponent. Overall, the Red and Blue are 0-12 against the powerhouse conference. However, Penn's most recent ACC opponent - Virginia - came to The Palestra last season and barely survived, 68-65. The Cavaliers overcame a 15-point second-half deficit and Penn's game-tying shot at the buzzer was off the mark.
Penn returns all five starters from the 2012-13 squad that earned the program's first-ever postseason victory and reached the semifinals of the Women's Basketball Invitational. Penn's 18 wins tied for second-most in program history and the team's nine non-league wins matched the school record set in 1999-00. Penn's 18-13 overall record marked the first winning season since 2004-05 and the team's best record since the 2000-01 team set the school standard with 22 wins.
The full 2013-14 women's basketball schedule will be released later this summer.

Sharon Inouye, MD, MPH
Research Organizations
Research Summary
Dr. Inouye's groundbreaking research work has focused on delirium and functional decline in hospitalized older patients, resulting in over 70 published articles to date. Her overarching goal has been to translate clinical investigation from its theoretical basis to practical applications that will improve clinical care and quality of life for older persons. Her work has involved applying rigorous clinical epidemiologic and clinical trial methodology to advance the scientific understanding of the diagnosis, etiology, prognosis, prevention, and treatment of delirium. Early in her career, she developed and validated a new instrument for identification of delirium, the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM), which is now the most widely used standard in the field, translated into at least 6 languages. Subsequently, Dr. Inouye helped to conceptualize the multifactorial model for delirium, and focused on identification of predisposing and precipitating factors for delirium. Finally, she developed a multicomponent intervention strategy to prevent delirium, targeted towards six delirium risk factors. This strategy—published in a landmark study in the New England Journal of Medicine—was successful in reducing delirium by 40%, demonstrating for the first time that a substantial proportion of delirium is preventable. A recent study in Medical Care has demonstrated the cost-effectiveness of this intervention strategy. The intervention, called the Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP), is now undergoing national dissemination. Currently, Dr. Inouye is conducting a study examining the pathophysiology of delirium, utilizing neuroimaging (single photon emission computed tomography, SPECT), laboratory markers (e.g., neuron specific enolase and others), and neuropsychological test results—during and after a delirium episode. Other active research areas include the investigation of the long–term outcomes and economic implications of the delirium prevention program, development of strategies for prevention of delirium in the ICU, and development of new screening methods for dementia.

HOUSTON - Even though Tropical Storm Isaac is not expected to hit southeast Texas, Harris County emergency managers are keeping a close eye on the storm.
Monday afternoon, the Harris County Office of Emergency Management ramped up emergency readiness from Level 4 to Level 3, which is standard procedure when a storm moves into the Gulf.
"We're at increased readiness so in case the storm does start tracking west we can respond. Right now the primary threat is the la coast but obviously this far out we got a storm in the gulf and watching it very closely," said Francisco Sanchez, with the Harris County OEM.
The last major storm to strike the upper Texas coast was Hurricane Ike in 2008. Ike crippled Galveston and knocked out power to millions of southeast Texas residents. Some outages lasted for weeks.
Last week, CenterPoint energy began receiving requests for trucks and linemen from Florida. But the company is waiting to see where this storm goes before sending any trucks too far from Houston.
"We're not going to send anybody anywhere to help out until it does hit landfall. We're going to stay here and take care of business. You never know, there's a lot of unpredictability with hurricanes even as it heads out," said David Baker with CenterPoint Energy.
So far, the state Emergency Management Division has opened just one office in Beaumont, but has also halted road construction along interstate 10 just to ensure the major escape route away from the storm remains open.
