androticus - Tuesday, December 23, 2008 - linkWhat happened to the 5570 bars on the chart? As of 12/23/08 they disappeared (I remember seeing them in the original article when I viewed it.) Did anandtech get slapped under some non-disclosure of some kind? Shouldn't the article be updated or the graph yanked altogether??? Reply
stimudent - Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - linkThis kind of sounds like one of those 'Intel-approved' articles. Reply
IntelUser2000 - Friday, December 19, 2008 - link"This kind of sounds like one of those 'Intel-approved' articles."
No it doesn't. It's merely pointing out the results that are out there. Intel is winning hands down in performance so its logical that the review sites would be drooling all over it.
There's nothing in the near term that tells AMD will bring sort of changes. Reply
alphadog - Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - link
In one way, for some business situation, cost doesn't matter. But, this doesn't mean it should be wholly ignored. SO, given Intel tendencies to overprice, can we get a pretty, shiny graph of SAPS/dollar? Reply
ordoequester - Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - linkSo what
A 2 Tier T2 from Sun gets 20.900 SAPS
And thats only a 1.4 Ghz 65nm Produkt Reply
IntelUser2000 - Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - linkHere's the explanation from our experts at RealWorldTech:
"Basically, there are two classes of SAP-SD 2-tier submissions - "fast" with response time around 1 second and "throughput-oriented" with response time around 1.6-2 seconds."
The difference between the two results your friend put are the response times are also ~2x the difference. Reply
yasinag - Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - linkCould be true as SUN also activated Unicode (15% additional Load).
In the past HP used to publish their disk setup and always used RAID0.
RadnorHarkonnen - Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - linkAlthough i do not know much about SAP benchmarks, i tend to agree with you. In 15 years working in IT, i have yet to see a speed bump on this kind. 119% is a lot of improvement. 20% was very nice already, 119% it is just too good to be true.
Several were announced in several fields, The Willamette Core was supposed to be a big bang, and advertised as it. And others of course.
Anyway, the same results could be achieved with a web server. You just need to know how to tinker.
But 119% ? The dice must be rigged anywhere in pipe. Even if they cherry picked what test they did. Reply
IntelUser2000 - Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - linkLooks like Nehalem is about to shake the server market... Reply
yasinag - Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - linkI think HP benchmarks are well tuned both on AMD and Intel Platform.
Benchmark value of 2384 on HP servers are inline with AMD's claim (30-35% betwer than Barcelona)

Pablitus - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkI think that the Core architechture stars to shine with the add of the Memory controller on die. Having memory controller outside gives you flexibility in the mainboard/chipset selection, but you pay this with latency. Now the improvements in the Nehalem (wider execution units, HT, blah blah blah) plus the Ondie memory controller gives the CPU all the bandwidth neccesary to has the CPU very busy crunching integers.
It was well documented that adding the memory controller on die to any cpu boost the performance, so i think that this record was expected by intel engineers...but not with this huge margin. Reply
wpapolis - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkYes, indeed, "Head's off those Intel Engineers!"
How dare they?

icrf - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkHeads off sounds more like they're on the chopping block. Reply
zsdersw - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkDon't you mean "hats off"? I don't think the Intel engineers should have their heads taken off for this stellar result :) Reply
JohanAnandtech - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkouch. Fixed :-). Reply
Trisagion - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkIf it's too good to be true, it probably is... Reply
BSMonitor - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkTell that to the guy who won the $207 million lotto this past weekend....
Not surprising really. Wolfdale dual-cores were always competitive against quad-core Phenoms... Now you have removed the one thing keeping Core processors from scaling as well as K10... ie the FSB.. Especially in a highly threaded application, as the writer mentions.. Shows how data starved Penryn really was! Reply
JohanAnandtech - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkI agree. Still this is a certified by SAP benchmark, and one that is mostly CPU limited. I don't see how you can "cheat" on this one. It is not like you can recompile the SAP code. Reply
duploxxx - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkboth systems have HT on, check the detailed scores.
to good to be thrue??? no, just obvious that HT is working fine on this SAP benchmark, count 70-80% off when you shut it down. Weather or not if that is required in real life SAP environments is yet to be shown. Reply
JohanAnandtech - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkGood point, I updated the blog post. Well, when I see a +100% boost over the previous generation we have to be prudent.
I don't think 70% is a result of HT. Doubling the cores gives you a 70% increase, and there is no way that HT can be as good as doubling the cores. I expect 40% to be more realistic. Still, it is incredible how a dual machine is capable of defeating a quad server which is only a few months older. Reply
amazi - Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - linkNow both web-page and pdf shows that FSC had HT on (16 threads). So you need to correct the chart. Reply
Wernte - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkThe numbers are certainly high, but I think it could be possible. Compared to Dual Opteron 8384, the new Xeon is about 67% faster clock-for-clock based on this benchmark, which isn't too out of whack considering all the changes made to eliminate the various system bottlenecks and HT, since Intel CPU itself (by that I mean capabilities of the CPU only, such as its wider execution core, etc) has always been more powerful than the AMD counterpart.
If this is indeed true, though, it'd mean that Intel will wipe out AMD from their coveted 4 and 8 socket server market even with the new Opteron based on K10.5 architecture. Very scary... Reply
JohanAnandtech - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkI have been a hardware journalist for 10 years now, and I never seen this. A new CPU + platform doubles the performance over a previous one without: 1) Using new instructions 2) a newer process technology 3) large jump in clockspeed or 4) running a very exotic benchmark that stresses only a very small part of the CPU. Reply
TeXWiller - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkSufficient bandwidth of the POWER6 results very good scaling with SMT not only in SAP but Spec tests as well. Nehalem's increased bandwidth could be a reason for the good scaling with SMT in this case. Reply
Riek - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkMy guess would be that they screwed up the number of cores (dual = quad)... That would bring it down to expected gains and figures...
Altough if the performance is indeed correct... The i7 based serverchips will be the fastest cpu's in the servermarket for a very long time... And that might be a very bad thing for AMD and the microprocs industry in general.
defter - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkThat's not possible, since quad socket Nehalem will not be available until H2 2009. Reply
Riek - Tuesday, December 16, 2008 - linkSince it appeared that HT was enabled i was not that wrong :') Reply

Talking with Fooducate Creator Hemi Weingartenby Toby Amidor in Grocery Shopping, September 6, 2012
Fooducate is an easy-to-use, free smartphone app that helps you make healthier food choices. To use it, scan a packaged item's bar code or search for food items and you'll see its letter grade (A to D) with an explanation of its nutritional benefits, or lack thereof. When I recently introduced this app to a table of women they couldn't believe their favorite so-called "healthy" snack foods scored so low (they received a C- or D+). They now use it to help them make more healthful food choices. I had the opportunity to speak to Fooducate creator, Hemi Weingarten, to learn more about it.
Q: Fooducate is a fantastic app that's easy to use at the market or at home. How did you come up with the idea?
A few years ago, when my children were still babies, we bought a glow-in-the-dark yogurt in the supermarket. I was curious as to the source of the bright pink color and read an ingredient list for the first time in my life. I was shocked to discover Red #40, a synthetic dye, with potential links to hyperactivity and cancer is being used in kiddie yogurt. In Europe it is banned and beet juice is used instead.
I started researching the modern food industry and discovered many other ingredients or processes for food manufacturing that seemed to make good business sense for companies, but were not in my family's best interest. Fooducate started out as a blog to help myself and other parents be more cognizant of the food we buy for our families. When smartphones started to become popular, I put together a team and we built the mobile scanning app.
Q: What contributing factors help determine the grade of a food?
Fooducate's philosophy is relatively simple, but the actual algorithmic implementation is quite complex. The algorithm looks for minimally processed, real foods with intrinsic nutrients. These will score better than processed foods that are poor in built-in nutrients. Fooducate's analysis is based on information that appears on a product's package including the nutrition facts panel and the ingredient list. We do not receive any additional input from manufacturers.
The ingredient list is very important as it tells the story behind the nutrients. Imagine a piece of cardboard that was sprayed with 11 vitamins and minerals, then coated with "natural" flavors, peppered with an artificial sweetener, and colored with an artificial yellow dye. Under some rating systems, this product would actually score very high as it is zero calories and full of nutrients. Not at Fooducate. We look for real ingredients. Artificial colors and sweeteners detract from a product score. The use of whole foods adds points.
Some people have likened Fooducate to taking both your grandmother AND your dietitian with you to the supermarket for shopping advice. We like that.
Q: Once a food is graded by the algorithm, is the score verified or reviewed before it goes into the database?
We run quality assurance tests on our database. These include product data verification, for example, making sure the nutrient values were entered correctly, or that there are no spelling mistakes in the ingredient list. Another quality assurance measure is random tests on products by nutrition experts to verify that the grade a product has received makes sense. Lastly, our users provide us with continuous feedback, which may include requests to review certain product's ratings if they seem off.
Q: What is the worst grade a food has ever scored? I have seen a "D" but has any food received an "F"? Conversely, which foods (if any) have scored an "A"?
The highest grade is an A. The lowest grade is a D. Want an A+? Grow it in your backyard or cook it yourself. No foods get an F, because with so many people going to bed hungry here in the United States even today in 2012, it doesn't seem fair to ostracize any one product that would keep someone's belly full.
Q: Creating an app like this takes teamwork. Did you work with a registered dietitian or any other experts in the field in order to create Fooducate?
Yes, we worked and continue to work with registered dietitians as well as labeling experts and scientists. Professor Adam Drewnowski, Director, Nutritional Sciences Program, University of Washington and a world-renowned leader in innovative research approaches for the prevention and treatment of obesity is on our advisory board.
Q: While creating Fooducate, I'm sure it's been a learning process about what EXACTLY food manufacturers put into food and various names for ingredients. Could you give some examples of what you have learned that consumers should be aware of?
Three examples:
- There's an FDA loophole that allows manufacturers to label trans-fat as zero as long as it is under half a gram per serving. Manufactures state the product has a small serving size just so the value will be zero. In reality you may be consuming a gram or more of trans-fat.
- Low-fat foods may save you a few calories per serving, but have so many fillers and additives instead, that they are actually a worse product than full-fat versions of the same food.
- Some products are so full of sugar that manufacturers would need to state sugar as the first ingredient in the ingredient list. In order not to do this, they state 3 or more sugars in the ingredient list (Brown sugar, corn syrup, molasses, for example) so that the product will seem healthier.
Q: How do you keep up with all the thousands of new foods that are regularly introduced into markets?
Our product database is updated by our users! When somebody scans a product we don't have, we ask them to take three pictures for us: the front of the package, the nutrition label, and the ingredient list. We get thousands of submissions every day and then add the new products to our system.
Q: You've mentioned that you've gotten thousands of emails from moms thanking you for this app. What makes them so appreciative? How have they been using the app?
Not just moms. But we were especially happy to read a mother's story about going to the supermarket with her children. She lets them choose their own cereal and snacks, just so long as they scan each product with Fooducate and choose only items graded B or higher.
Fooducate's goal is to help millions of shoppers choose healthy, tasty, and affordable food, and to affect positive change on the food industry. Fooducate's mobile apps and daily blog help people find better food at the supermarket. The company was founded by Hemi Weingarten, a tech entrpreneur, foodie, and father of three young children.

|Dungeons & Dragons Deity
|The Glutton
|Home Plane
|Power Level
|Chaotic Evil
|Disaster, greed
|Chaos, Destruction, Evil, Strength
In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, The Glutton is the gnomish deity of disaster and greed. He was introduced in the Races of Stone supplement book.
In many campaign settings, the gnome pantheon of gods consists of the leader Garl Glittergold, as well as Baervan Wildwanderer, Baravar Cloakshadow, Flandal Steelskin, Gaerdal Ironhand, Nebelun, Segojan Earthcaller, and Urdlen (others might be present in specific settings). The Glutton, along with Gelf Darkhearth, Ril Cleverthrush and Sheyanna Flaxenstrand, being introduced in a supplemental book, are not considered canon to the pantheon.
The Glutton is usually depicted as a massive, ravenous badger or wolverine. The Glutton figures prominently in the bedtime stories gnomes tell naughty children -- "Go to sleep or The Glutton will get you!" The Glutton is blamed whenever a burrow collapses or another misfortune befalls the gnomes. It is said that The Glutton was once a gnome who was cursed with a hideous form and a desire to consume the gnomes and all they hold dear (why is not known). His holy symbol is a gaping, fanged mouth surrounded by what looks like a golden band, and what appears to be a smear of pink blood behind it. His favored weapon is the heavy mace.
The Glutton's few clerics are all secretive cult leaders, for no gnomes would willingly allow worshipers of The Glutton into their burrows. New clerics are recruited from among the mad and the hopeless.
Cultists of The Glutton take his name literally when they pray, stuffing themselves with food as they make profane utterances to their evil deity.
The Glutton has no temples. His cultists meet wherever they can find a measure of secrecy.
Rites require a level of organization that The Glutton is uninterested in. If his cultists want a ceremony to perform, they have to create it themselves.
The Glutton's goals are straightforward enough that he doesn't send followers on quests. But the cults that act in his name might send adventurers on quests to acquire more evil power
Herald and AlliesEdit
The herald of The Glutton is a mighty balor. Allies are howlers, greater barghests, and nalfeshnee demons.

AUSTRALIAN Story was conceived with a simple aim, to put its subjects front and centre, and make the journalism less visible.
Deborah Fleming-Bauer, one of the ABC show's pioneers, has been honoured for bringing this vision to life.
In a career spanning decades and earning several awards, including Walkleys, Fleming-Bauer says Australian Story is the ''most worthwhile thing I've done''. She said the show, which started in 1996, ''has found its affection and public regard''.
The program came at a time when faith in journalism had diminished.
''It was born out of a sense that people were fed up with conventional current affairs. People were cynical about reporting. It was something original and different.''
Fleming-Bauer felt ''humbled'' at receiving a medal of the Order of Australia, ''a bit overwhelmed and pleased to receive this recognition. I don't think I'd be receiving it if it wasn't for Australian Story and the team.''
Fleming-Bauer started her career in England after the Watergate affair sparked her interest in journalism, and interviewed Margaret Thatcher as a young reporter.
She came to Australia in 1979. Working in the media industry always had its surprises and she has never stopped learning, she said. ''Never let your vigilance slip. Never ever slip into complacency. There's always a curve ball waiting.''


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Although it's always nice to have a job, employees should never force their summer jobs to be something they're not. Some work simply doesn't translate to a career. "The difference between a job and a career revolves around passion for what the work entails. Jobs are done to satisfy low-level needs like providing shelter and food and paying bills. Careers or vocations focus on doing work because we love it," says Angelo Kinicki, management professor at the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University. "So if you find that you aren't excited to go to work, and it all seems like drudgery, then it's probably time to realize that you need to be doing something else." People often take jobs just for the sake of having a paycheck, says Tom Gimbel, CEO and President of LaSalle Network, a Chicago-based staffing firm. "Just for the sake of having a job, someone takes a position without doing sufficient research on the company or the role," Gimbel says. "Keep in mind, hopping from position to position in a short period of time is never a good idea, however it is important to identify if a position is the right long-term fit. " It's not always easy to determine the difference between a long-term prospect and a short-term moneymaker, but experts say there are a few telltale signs that your summer job shouldn't follow you into fall. 1. Ask yourself if this is an opportunity you could see yourself working in two, five or even 10 years from now, says Russ Hovendick, founder of career consultancy Directional Motivation. "In answering these questions you will be better suited to address the question of whether this is a future career opportunity, or just a job that will provide a source of references on your work habits and put money in your wallet for the short term," Hovendick says.

Flash mob held in Arcata to raise awareness for violence against women and children
ARCATA- Rain can stop some things from happening, but not violence. It also did not stop hundreds from gathering at the Arcata Plaza to raise awareness for physical and sexual violence against women and children.
Today was the second annual One Billion Rising event. It is designed to raise awareness for the violence women and children are subjected to throughout the world. As part of One Billion Rising, a flash mob was held around 2 p.m. on Friday at the Arcata Plaza. The group, which included about 100 students from Sunny Brae Middle School, danced to the song "Break the Chain" by Tena Clark and Tim Heintz. Last year, 207 countries participated in One Billion Rising. The flash mob was organized by VDay Humboldt.
"One in three women will be raped or beaten in her lifetime. That equals one billion women. One billion women being violated is an atrocity, whereas one billion women dancing is a revolution. It's a thing of beauty and of power," said Jessie Hobba, a co-organizer of the event.

Hot Rod Grand Reopening Party
Saturday, February 9, 2013 from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM (PST)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Saturday, February 9th 11-7 PM
Hot Rod, one of Los Angeles' most iconic sneaker/street wear destinations, is pleased to announce a grand reopening of the fully renovated store on Saturday, February 9th, 2013.
Since 1995, Hot Rod has evolved into the premier skate shop for professional skateboarders, young actors, and tastemakers alike. From Eric Koston, Patrick Martinez, Rob Dyrdek, the store has played a major role in the course of skate history.
The shop also played host to barbecues, rooftop ventures, ping-pong tournaments and parking lot quarter pipe sessions, creating a collection of some most memorable moments in the city's skate culture.
Today, Hot Rod has transitioned from a small, underground skate shop to a skate/sneaker and streetwear nirvana. The store has become known for carrying premium goods from brands like Nike SB, Vans Vault, Converse, Stussy, The Hundreds and everyone in between. And now the Westwood Blvd. mainstay is undergoing a brand new renovation.
Though it may be bittersweet to see the iconic sign, one that symbolized the beginnings of both skate and sneaker culture in Los Angeles, be taken down, it's time for Hot Rod to mature into adulthood, and birth the new and improved brand, 'Hot Rod: The Gentlemen's Sneaker Club.' Like any other culmination, this one deserves a celebration. Therefore, the Hot Rod family is proud to be hosting a re-opening party on February 9th with Free Haircuts From Proper Barber Shop, food, drinks, music, and gift bags provided by The Hundreds. Come celebrate the new Hot Rod with the crew.

wsw1982 - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkIt's interesting especially with the consideration how expensive is the outlook alone. Reply
domboy - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkA smart move, and I'm really glad it's going to be a desktop Outlook, not a ModernUI version. I might actually start using it. Interesting way to deploy it too. Reply
Duraz0rz - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkThis might actually make a WinRT tablet interesting to me. The Mail and Calendar apps in Win8 are sorely lacking. It just depends on how cut down Outlook is. Reply
JDG1980 - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkMy understanding was that RT can't join a domain. If that's still the case, then it's unlikely that it will make much of an inroad with business - especially since RT still can't run any legacy applications. And virtually all businesses have some sort of legacy apps.
The Exchange server is still a big thing, but these days, virtually all portable devices have ActiveSync support to connect with it, so Outlook isn't as necessary as it once was. If you're giving up legacy compatibility anyway, why go with RT over iOS or Android? Microsoft does still collect licensing fees for ActiveSync, so they're not completely losing out. Reply
jhoff80 - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkThey have something new called "Workplace Join" in 8.1 that might be expected to cover the lack of Domain functionality in RT. Still, this suffers from the same problem that the current Windows RT management setup (InTune) has- it's something new you need to integrate into your business.
At this point, I don't see why they don't just enable domain functionality in RT. They've got half the work already done, since group policy already works in RT if you re-enable the service. Reply
andrewaggb - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkyeah I think they should have done full domain support. that + outlook + their newly announced games, miracast, wifi direct (xbone controller), starts to make it look like a well rounded device :-) Reply
domboy - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkThat's what I've been saying too. I don't see why they've put so many artificial limitations on Windows RT. Windows on ARM should have just been a recompile of Windows 8/8Pro straight up. Reply
eanazag - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkBingo. They charge too much to get a cut down Windows experience. $400 can buy a Windows laptop that does run x86 apps. No Desktop? Reply
eanazag - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkOne of my biggest complaints was sluggishness on the Surface RT; #2 was capacity. They really need to take into consideration usable space. That was just plain dumb. Ultimately Windows RT should have been an ARM Windows 8. No DIY market as it currently stands. Reply
sporkfan - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkI still don't understand why Windows RT exists. You've explained why Windows Phone exists. Why doesn't Windows Phone do everything one needs from Windows RT? There are reasons, but thise reasons are not acceptable. Windows Phone needs real productivity. Windows Phone needs more bigger form-factors.
In real life, Windows RT only exists because the Office organization refused to embrace touch. Reply

MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. - The hunt for an armed robber forced families to evacuate their homes on Christmas Eve, leaving behind everything from gifts to dinner.
That standoff lasted for more than six hours before finally coming to an end just before 10 o'clock Monday night. It began after deputies said the suspect, who was wanted for two armed robberies, barricaded himself inside an unit at the Wlliamsburg Village apartments right off Courtenay Parkway in Merritt Island.
Brevard County deputies could not get the suspect to come out until a SWAT team shot tear gas into the apartment.
When they finally pulled out the suspect, who they identify as Mark Holland, he had a lot to say to Local 6 cameras about being innocent.
"I didn't do [expletive]. I'll beat this," shouted Holland, who said he did not rob anybody, even though deputies said he robbed two stores in one day. First, a gas station a few blocks away, and later, a produce stand that was just feet from the apartment complex.
As SWAT teams rolled in, neighbors were evacuated and waited, frustrated.
"I have stuffed peppers in the oven and I can't go in and turn it off because they asked me to leave," said Brenda Kelehar.
Andrew Bidal said, "I just can't believe somebody would do this on Christmas Eve. He probably ruined so many people's days."
Despite all the trouble and hours long standoff, deputies said Holland only got away with shoes and about $75.
The SWAT team finally shot tear gas into the apartment and found Holland hiding under a bed, unarmed.
Neighbors who know him said it's about time he go to jail.
"He just a little punk kid causing trouble all the time," said Bidal. "I'm just glad he's finally gone and out of here."
Holland does have a record. In fact, deputies said before his arrest Monday, he had two other outstanding felony warrants waiting for him.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/6/2013 (1526 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BOSTON -- They are still two wins away from their destination, but the Boston Bruins are gathering steam.
Daniel Paille and Patrice Bergeron scored second-period goals and Tuukka Rask made 28 saves Monday as the hard-charging Bruins blanked the Chicago Blackhawks 2-0 to take a 2-1 lead in the Stanley Cup final.
The Bruins were full value for their second straight win, coming out hard and crashing Chicago to erase memories of a sluggish first period in Game 2. Boston seemed bigger, faster and meaner on this night.
Even anthem singer Rene Rancourt seemed up for it, adding a few more degrees of difficulty to his litany of pre-game fist pumps and facial contortions. The TD Garden crowd of 17,565, Boston's 163rd straight sellout, ate it up.
History has Boston at the front of the NHL championship bus now. Teams winning Game 3 after splitting first two games of the final have gone on to win 21 of 25 times since the best-of-seven format began in 1939.
The Bruins improved to 4-0 in Game 3s this post-season while the Blackhawks fell to 0-4.
Boston isn't celebrating quite yet, however.
"It's nice to get a win," said captain Zdeno Chara, who mixed it up with Bryan Bickell as the clock wound down. "We're up 2-1. We've got to get ready for the next one."
"We've still got a few more games to go," added Tyler Seguin.
Paille, the overtime hero of Game 2, opened the scoring for Boston as the Bruins' reshaped third line of Paille, Chris Kelly and Seguin paid dividends again. The trio accounted for both Boston goals in the Bruins' overtime victory in Game 2.
Bergeron then scored on the power play, with Paille and Kelly drawing the penalties that led to the goal. The Bruins forward was a one-man machine, with six shots in the first two periods alone. He also dominated faceoffs, winning 19 of 22 in the first 40 minutes.
The other Bruins did the little things too. Blocking shots. Winning faceoffs. Shrugging off Blackhawks like annoying little brothers. When the situation called for it, they just dumped the puck somewhere safe and regrouped.
The Bruins outshot Chicago 35-28 as Rask earned his third shutout of the playoffs. It marked just the second time in 2013 that the Blackhawks had been shut out.
"Tonight I thought we made it rather easy on (Rask) as far as traffic and finding and seeing pucks," said Chicago coach Joel Quenneville. "I think we got to be better at going to the net in non-puck areas."
The Blackhawks will get a chance to do just that in Game 4, which goes Wednesday in Boston.
There was drama before the game as Chicago co-scoring leader Marian Hossa was a late scratch, replaced by Ben Smith after being injured in the warmup. That meant shelving a marquee player on a $7.9-million contract for a $550,000 forward who had played once this season.
"Marian Hossa out of the lineup after something apparently happened in warm-ups," tweeted the Hawks.
Quenneville later clarified that the injury had nothing to do with the warmup. Hossa has an upper-body injury, was a game-time decision and is listed day to day.
"We're hopeful he'll be ready for the next game," he said.
Still, it was a take-no-prisoners warmup. Boston coach Claude Julien said Chara suffered a small cut during warmup after losing an edge.
Bruins defenceman Dennis Seidenberg said later the ice was poor as hot, humid weather and a visit by the Rolling Stones last week probably didn't help matters.
Quenneville pointed to faceoffs and the power as the difference-makers. Boston won 40 of 56 faceoffs and Chicago went 0-for-5 with the man-advantage.
The Hawks have not scored a power-play goal in their last 20 chances dating to Game 2 of the Western Conference final. The Bruins, meanwhile, have killed off 27 straight penalties.
Notes: It was Chicago's first visit to TD Garden since March 29, 2010, when the Bruins won 3-0... Tickets for Game 3 ranged from $325 to a corner balcony seat to $7,500 for a 12th-row centre-ice loge seat on StubHub earlier Monday.

PALM BAY, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's golf team (301-313-295—909), behind Nick Brother's team-best even-par 216, concluded the Panther Invitational in second place, securing a two-day total of 45-over 909, Tuesday afternoon from the par-72, 6729-yard course at The Majors Golf Club.
Totaling a seven-over 295 during the final round, the Lions saw an 18-shot improvement between rounds two and three.
Seeing primarily scores in the 70's on Tuesday, the Lions finished 24 strokes ahead of the nearest competitor, Eckerd College.
Nick Brothers (69-75-72—216) was the Lions' highest finisher as he paced the course for an even-par 216. He improved three strokes from his second round 75 as he finished the day with an even-par 72.
Chaz Heinz (75-80-72—227), one of three Lions to post an even-par 72 in the final round, registered an 11-over 227 en route to an 11th-place finish. Justin Foster (76-81-72—229) was just off his teammate's pace as he concluded action with an impressive 13-over 229 after carding an even-par 72.
Rick Briggs (81-77-79—237) contributed a 21-over 237 as he finished in a tie for 25th, and Ronnie Carlson (83-90-86—259) rounded-out the group with a 259.
Overall, it was the host Florida Tech Panthers who took home the team title as they secured a 12-over 876, 33 strokes ahead of the second-place Lions. The Panthers' Ray Badenhorst also secured individual medalist honors as he torched the course with a five-under 211.
Saint Leo will return to the course on Monday, April 2, when they travel to Miami Beach, Fla. to compete in the Barry University Invitational. The two-day tournament will take place from the Normandy Shores Golf Club.

Any idea why?
I'm also gonna hold off on the 4.4.4 JB until everything is fully supported. The only benefit to 4.4.4 unless I'm mistaken is iPad2 mirroring.
Okay I updated mine with this and where is Nito TV at? I know it's jailbroken but how do I get the Nito on there so I can install XBMC?
ssh [email protected]S
You will be asked for a password: default password is alpine
Continue to enter the following commands:
Issue these commands in your Terminal window, in sequence:
apt-get install wget
wget -O- http://apt.awkwardtv.org/awkwardtv.pub | apt-key add -
echo "deb http://apt.awkwardtv.org/ stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/awkwardtv.list
echo "deb http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/atv2 ./" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbmc.list
apt-get update
apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
HOW-TO:Install XBMC on Apple TV 2 - XBMC
I installed Nito TV via SHSH and then installed XBMC from Nito TV. Commands are similar though
That went very smooth! Good job! My favorite feature is the media player. streaming all my media from my PC. Its very nice.
anyone having problems? i get itunes errors after the restore (1600,1602)
I just don't see what advantages this gives i guess i need to read up on NitoTV and XBMC. It's great that Apple TV can be jailbroken just seems there isn't much you can do with it once it is.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- For small-business owners, it may seem like the battle is won once consumers know your name and understand your product -- but often the bigger challenge lies in inspiring consumers to interact with your brand. Social media has proved a useful tool for conveying a company's voice and power, but it's not always easy knowing what to say. While it would be wonderful if every status update motivated customers to offer feedback and make purchases, experts say it's all in the words you deliver. We've got a list of the top eight words and phrases that can inspire brand confidence and whisk your valuable followers from "likes" and "retweets" to point of purchase. 1.) Let people know you are "thankful." "I have found that saying I am 'thankful' or noting gratitude for an opportunity, new client win, or a company milestone, I get more engagement," says Jennefer Witter, founder and CEO of PR firm the Boreland Group. "I feel that people appreciate it when you note -- gently -- that you recognize and appreciate when things go your way. Of course, it has to be in the appropriate context and you can't go overboard, or you'll seem inauthentic. Whatever you say has to be sincere -- phoniness is spotted a mile away," Witter says. 2.) Share the credit. "I always make a point to acknowledge my staff. I often use adjectives like 'wonderful' or 'fabulous' but in a way that there is no artifice to it," Witter says. "My Facebook ( FB) friends know I am being sincere." Witter says that people grow to respect a company when they see that credit is shared. Also, it showcases the quality work your company offers. "It can be an attractive lure to potential clients and acts as a reinforcement to current clients that they are being serviced by the best in the industry," she says. 3.) Ask for action. A call to action, especially at the beginning of a post, tends to promote participation and clickthrough with the brand, as it is asking people to conduct an action directly, says Jennifer Hyla, the director of SEO for Performics, a global performance marketing agency. "A very straightforward and simple request is best," she says. Phrases such as "Check us out for more details," or "Visit us to learn more," manage to ask for action without demanding attention.

Watch: Urban Outfitters Early Spring Catalogue 2012 Behind-The-Scenes
Bambi Northwood-Blyth and Hannah Holman run wild in Northern California.
Urban Outfitters have just released their February catalogue and, true to form, it's a heady mix of stunning scenery and stunning people (real-life BFFs Bambi Northwood-Blyth and Hannah Holman). Watching this, you will most probably swing between feelings of envy (damn you and your eyebrows Bambi!) and feelings of 'where the heck is my Visa?'. Photographed by Tim Barber, the catalogue was shot up and down the Northern Californian coast and going by this behind-the-scenes video (also by Barber), it really was as fun as it looks:

When Fred Harris last saw Hugh Beach, he was dragging him, shot and temporarily paralysed, onto the back of his armoured car and to safety under a hail of German bullets.
Now, almost 70 years on, having not seen or heard from each other since, the pair have come together for an extraordinary reunion to share a beer and talk about the fateful events at the La Bassee canal crossing, in Nazi-occupied northern France, on September 3, 1944.
The actions of Driver Fred Harris and his fellow soldier Sergeant Bill Tynan that afternoon undoubtedly saved the life of the then-Lieutenant Beach, who would go on to become a General in a 40-year military career and be knighted by the Queen.
All three members of the 621 Field Squadron (Royal Engineers) had been sent in an armoured Morris Scout Car to find out whether or not the bridge was fit for tanks, when Lieutenant Beach, who had left the vehicle, engaged a group of German soldiers.
His Sten submachine gun jammed and he was shot in the spine as he attempted to crawl back to the vehicle, leaving him bleeding heavily.
Without a thought for their own safety, Sgt Tynan and Driver Harris called for covering fire before finding their comrade and dragging him back to their car and to safety.
Harris, of Featherstone Road, Mill Hill, and Beach, who lives in Earls Court, were in their early 20s at the time of the ill-fated reconnaissance mission – neither knows what became of Sgt Tynan - but now, at the age of 90, General Sir Beach was finally able to buy his former military colleague a pint and say thank you when they met again at the Victory Services Club in Marble Arch on Wednesday.
Now a grandfather-of eight, he said: "I remember the event vividly – like it was yesterday. I was about 100 yards from the bridge and at that moment, fatally, I saw two Germans pottering about.
"The nonsense thought crossed my mind that I had better engage them but of course my gun jammed after just two rounds.
"I thought I had better back out and got down on my hands and knees behind a railway line, but unfortunately my backside was too high and a bullet grazed my spine. I was left paralysed, useless, hopeless.
"Bill Tynan found me and I told him I wasn't a lot of use but thankfully Fred was very bright and arranged for covering fire before they dragged me onto the back of the car. He was clearly a much greater tactician than I was.
"From that moment my memories are very episodic, but I know that when I was back on the car I was able to pass on the message that the bridge was intact and safe to cross."
Lieutenant Beach was taken to a French hospital in a nearby town where he recovered for a few days as his father, a Major General in the Army himself, wrote letters of thanks to the heroes who saved his son's life.
The General would go on to receive the Military Cross for bravery at the age of just 21 because of his actions at the bridge. But Driver Harris received no medals - only a mention and a certificate from Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery.
On Wednesday, at the ornate headquarters of the Victory Services Club, the war veterans were joined by Driver Harris's daughter Claire and General Sir Beach's son Michael.
The General brought with him the original letters of response from both of his life savers, as well as the doctor's notes from his stay at the French hospital, detailing his treatment and condition.
Driver Harris, now 91 and with five great grandchildren, still has his copy of Major General Beach's letter, and various mementos from his own Army career that ended in 1946 before he enjoyed a 40-year stint as the sports editor at the Hendon Times.
Speaking about meeting the man he saved for the first time in almost seven decades, he said: "It has been overwhelming. Neither of us would have ever thought we would see each other again.
"Clearly I should have stuck with him as he's gone on to great things. I'm just absolutely delighted to see him in such good health and with a smile on his face."
The historic reunion marks a "closing of the loop" for both men, according to General Sir Beach, who said he has been looking forward to being reunited with his Army colleague since they first made contact thanks to his son's research on an Army veterans' website last year.
He said: "There has been great excitement, huge excitement. It is a great closing of the loop and a pleasure to meet him again after all these years. It was an enormously heroic act, to which I undoubtedly owe my life."

While Britain wallows in the wonder of Bradley Wiggins, a hat-tip (or even a doff of the helmet) should be conferred on Peter Keen, the man who a decade ago set about to revive the fortunes of British cycling.
Mr Keen created Britain's high performance cycling programme around Manchester's velodrome, before passing on the baton to British Cycling's performance director Dave Brailsford.
Wiggins came under his wing in the late 90s, a very different creature to the other budding 17 and 18 year-olds in his charge, Mr Keen recalls.
"He was completely immersed in cycling. It is all he wanted to read about and study, whereas many of his contemporaries wouldn't have had that level of fascination and focus," Mr Keen says.
The Wiggins riding style has barely changed over the years: "He was almost too aware of how he would look and flow on the bike." Read more >>

HOUSTON - Houston police are investigating a single car crash that killed a 9-year-old boy and injured his twin sisters Friday morning.
Just before noon, investigators said a black Toyota SUV was traveling east on Edgebrook Drive in southeast Houston, when the driver lost control, hopped a curb, flipped and slammed into a tree.
The driver and all three kids inside were ejected. Police said they were not wearing seatbelts.
James Phillips, 9, died at the scene. His 4-year-old twin sisters, Joylyn and Loveressa Phillips were taken to the hospital. One suffered a broken leg, the other a broken arm.
"It's still unbearable to even explain it, " said Rose Terry, the children's grandmother. "It's just like your whole heart just falls out of your chest."
Terry and her husband, Joe, arrived at the scene moments after the crash. They told KPRC Local 2 they saw their grandson lying on the ground.
"I checked him and he was already gone, " said Joe Terry. "They were doing CPR, his chest was crushed and he had injuries to the left side of his head."
The Terry's believe their grandchildren were buckled in, but that seatbelts weren't enough. They said because of their size and age the children should have been restrained in booster seats.
HPD investigators said the driver, who was also injured in the crash and taken to the hospital, was driving fast when he lost control. Officers on the scene said they won't know if he faces charges until the investigation is complete.
Family members said the driver of the SUV is engaged to the children's mother. She was following behind the SUV in a separate vehicle and saw the crash happen.
"When you're dealing children, I don't care who it is, you have to make sure those children are protected," said Joe Terry. "When they're in your vehicle you have to make sure they're in the seat and if something happens you got to pay the price. He took a life. Whatever they do to him it won't bring James back."

Hello,I created a website for a horse rescue not long ago and everything was working fine until I showed someone at work, who opened the website in Chrome and very strange things started happening! The navigation wont load until you hover your cursor over it, and certain page titles and text doesn't load until a seemingly random amount of time has passed. The website seems to be working good in Firefox, Sarafi, and IE - and when I developed it I used Chrome and everything was working fine up until recently I guess. I know that it's not my computer/addons on Chrome etc because I first noticed on a coworkers chrome.
The site is built with Wordpress using Strappress - a bootstrap theme. I have disabled all plugins and the problem was still there so it's not that. I am at a loss! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Old Friends Canada Horse Rescue
PS, sometimes it loads fine so no I am not crazy! Let me know what happens when you visit the site.
Works fine for me in the latest Chrome for Mac.
The site is apparently supposed to be responsive. It has some problems at different widths, but I do not see the menu issue that you described in Chome on the PC. You might want to revisit your media queries including the meta tags in the head.
You are loadiing some of the CSS from external sites
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,600' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.0.3/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
Maybe there was a problem with those sites?
Do you not need the "http:" for the "netdna"?
I guess I messed up the responsive by trying to use the Bootstrap CDN today to speed up the site - it's back to normal now. I'm attaching a photo of what happens in my chrome. As you can see 'Home' only shows up after my cursor hovers over it and you'll see that the text in the header as well as the headings for the 3 callouts, the main text and sidebar aren't showing. This isn't happening for anyone else?
I was trying to use the Bootstrap CDN instead of linking to all of the separate css files to speed up the site, I got those links from http://www.bootstrapcdn.com/ But what I did screwed up some other parts of the site so I reverted back.
Hmmm. It looks fine for me using Firefox but like your attachment using Chrome (Windows 7)
I've never seen external links likehref="//www"but always likehref="http://www"but that is indeed how bootstrapcdn shows them.
Maybe they're assuming people will know the http: belongs?Maybe some browsers auto-correct the error and some don't?
Try adding the "http:" before the slashes and see if that fixes things.
This is what I see in Chrome in WinXP. The menu behaves nicely and the other bugs at narrower widths have disappeared.
Ahh this will drive me crazy! Some of the times for me absolutely none of the text on the page shows up, I can't seem to find a solution. There's plenty of google results about Chrome not showing some elements on page but the solutions are for fixing it on your own Chrome, not for web designers/developers to fix their website.
This is a wild shot, but try changing the default font from a Google font to a common PC font.
Didn't help I had an epiphany today and thought for sure that it was something I added to the .htaccess that was screwing things up, but I've emptied the .htaccess and it did no good. Gahh.
Perhaps clear Chrome's cache etc. to get a fresh start?
If the problem were showing up in Firefox, I would suspect a JavaScript vs. Firefox bug. Howsomever....
Perhaps one of the external resources isn't responding reliably. Start disabling external links one at a time and see if disabling one makes a significant difference.
If that doesn't work, break out the sledge hammer. Go through the same routine with JavaScripts, the HTML and then the CSS. It's tedious, but something specific is causing it. You may discover a problem that only shows up on certain devices, but first you have to find out who the conflicting actors are.
Thanks... breaking out the sledgehammer.. I'll let you know what i can find out.
So in the end... google fonts were the problem. Well I shoudn't say that - CUSTOM fonts were the problem because the text that wasn't working in the beginning was custom fonts I brought in using @font-face.. so I made them a google font still didn't work, so I made the body text helvetica and changed the handwritten looking font in header and on callouts to a google font and all is well in the world. For some reason it can only handle one 'special' font? At work I use 2 different google fonts on websites all the time, I just don't get why it won't work for this website. Again it's not the server because it's happening in my local testing environment (MAMP) even with all third party plugins turned off.
Thanks everyone for the help, ronpat when you suggested this the text that wasn't working wasn't a google font and I.. can't even explain why I didn't figure it out then lol.
I am still not happy about the website only accepting one google font, especially in GOOGLE chrome - if anyone has any information on why this would be the case that would be great!
Thanks very much for the feedback, amberbam. Hopefully, someone will be able to shed some light on the Google font thing.
I'm having the exact same issue with a site I'm building with Bootstrap 3. Firefox, IE and Safari work fine. I (was) using several Google fonts, but even if I comment-out all but one, I still experience the problem. I'm using Windows 7, local Apache, Chrome version 33.0.1750.154. I experience the issue locally and via the server. I've just started troubleshooting the issue. I found the link below, however, all of my font-weight assignments look good. I'm going to try TypeKit and see if that works.
Thanks for the post, rebrink. Please let us know what you find.
See the link below. It appears this is a known issue that is currently being worked on. After reading the comments, it appears to be happening in several different versions of Chrome. Some TypeKit users are also seeing the issue. There are some possible workarounds mentioned. I tried the workaround mentioned in post #42 and it appears to have fixed the problem for me.
Thank you for posting the follow-up, @rebrink, and especially for the resource. I have a feeling others will be needing it

Narciso Rodriguez Is Designing for Kohl's!
Narciso Rodriguez is the first designer to participate in Kohl's 'Design Nation' program.
-Kathryn Kazan, NewYorkGirlStyle.com
Kohls has signed with Narciso Rodriguez for the company's first high-end partnership. Narciso Rodriguez is going to be the first of many designers to participate in Kohl's new "Design Nation" program. The program prings expensive labels to the fast fashion market. In addition, Kohl's is taking each designer to a city of their choice to get first hand inspiration. Narciso Rodrigues selected Istanbul and spect four days in the city visiting museums and shopping.
Narciso Rodriguez said, "It was a really interesting idea to travel somewhere you had never been to before, and get your inspiration from a place that wouldn't normally be in your comfort zone, bring that back and turn it into a collection," in regards to his vacation. "I was completely inspired by the people, the city and all the different cultures."
After the four-day travel, the Istanbul collection is a twist of his typical aesthetic and very affordable. The pieces are beautiful with bold color blocking and the price ranges from $30.00 to $150.00. The new "Design Nation" Kohl's program is going to bring a new fresh take to the collaboration market. Design Nation will bring dedicated shoppers with fresh styles without a large price tag.

Topic: When is it time to call Hospice?
I've read often that Hospice agencies say you should be involved with Hospice as soon as you know you have a terminal condition. I don't know about that - we all have a terminal condition and will die sometime due to some cause! Really though, it's been 10 months since my diagnosis and I've lived a close to normal life. But things are getting a little harder to handle in the pain department so I'm just curious. From what I have read, most people call in hospice when a patient has days or weeks left as a prognosis or if they have pain that is completely uncontrolled.
I think right now, my pain can be managed by my oncologist and prescriptions I can take at home, but I'm wondering if there is any other benefit to involving Hospice in your care early? I certainly don't expect to require end of life intensive care for awhile. And my oncologist hasn't mentioned the need for referal to Hospice, either.
There is a certain stereotype that Hospice has that makes you believe that they are only called in when a situation is dire and that death is imminent. I have heard/seen a lot of radio and TV ads recently advising patients to seek Hospice care early and as soon as they receive the news of a terminal illness.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see what else a Hospice agency could do for me right now other than look at my pain relief and I think my Oncologist is doing a good job of staying on top of that. Any feedback from patients or caretakers on this?

Hi all,
I have a stored procedure that runs this query ...
SELECT * FROM tbl_owners WHERE OwnerPostcode IN (SELECT DISTINCT Postcode FROM tbl_postcodes WHERE TerritoryID = _TerritoryID) ORDER BY OwnerLastName;
So, I am passing it a variable (TerritoryID) to use in a subquery to get a list of postcodes. The subquery returns a list of about 20 or so Distinct postcodes from the subquery. The tblowners table has about 12000 owners.
The query takes a minute or more to run.
If I supply a list of postcodes e.g. ... WHERE OwnerPostcode in ("2144","2156","2142") ... the query is very fast.
This makes me think that maybe the query is running the subquery ever time. Is that the case? And if so, is there a better way to write this query so that it only does the subquery once?
select o.*
FROM tbl_owners o
join (SELECT Postcode
FROM tbl_postcodes
WHERE TerritoryID = _TerritoryID
GROUP BY Postcode) p
on o.OwnerPostcode = P.Postcode
ORDER BY OwnerLastName;
this use different execution plan and should be faster
Run the query through EXPLAIN to see what is going on. The subquery may be slow, or there may be so many results that the IN becomes too slow (you have a DISTINCT in the subquery which suggests that you have lots and lots of results that include duplicates (which is a whole other level of badness that you should fix)).This query is basically an INNER JOIN between the two tables, have you tried writing it as such?
Thank you gk53. An excellent solution that takes less than a second to run. I had no idea I could join a subquery.
I had no idea I could join a subquery.
You can do allmost everyhing with a subquery that you can do with a regular table.
But the database cannot always use indexes to solve these joins so run an EXPAIN to seee what it's doing, otherwise you may find that it works quickly for just the queries that you are testing now, and it may give serioues issues lateron.
Thanks vinny42. I'm learning a lot today - I had no idea about EXPLAIN either.
The EXPLAIN returned ...
id select_type table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows Extra
1 PRIMARY tbl_owners ALL (NULL) (NULL) (NULL) (NULL) 11401 Using where; Using filesort
2 DEPENDENT SUBQUERY tbl_postcodes ALL (NULL) (NULL) (NULL) (NULL) 15372 Using where; Using temporary
Unfortunately, that doesn't explain anything to me. I have no idea what it means
The weird thing is that the subquery runs in a flash when run by itself.
I'm not sure how I can fix the badness you mention. My tbl_postcodes table has fields Postcodes, Suburb, TerritoryID. Suburbs can have the same Postcode. I am assigning Postcodes to Territories by storing the TerritoryID in each record. e.g. The Hills District is in territory 12 so 2153 Baulkham Hills, 2153 Winston Hills, 2153 Bella Vista all have TerritoryID 12. If I don't do the DISTINCT, I'll get three copies of 2153 in my subquery.
Learning is good. EXPLAIN can really be your friend, take some time to properly understand how it works.
Good luck!
2 DEPENDENT SUBQUERY tbl_postcodes ALL (NULL) (NULL) (NULL) (NULL) 15372 Using where; Using temporary
The list of NULL's normally contain the names of the indexes that the database can use to solve the query, and a list of indexes that it has actually decided to use.The fact that there are all NULL's suggests that there are no indexes that can be used to find, and the filesort and temporary mean that the database is basically just loading all the records, sticking them in a tempporary table on disk and sorting them there (filesort).Adding separate indexes to ownerpostcode, _TerritoryID field and "Postcode" may help.
That's because the subquery just plows through all the records and remembers the unique postcodes. That's easy.Your outer query searches through all the owners once for every postcode and because there probably is no index on the ownerpostcode the database will be forced to loop through all owners once for every postcode.
Suburbs can have the same Postcode.
Hmmm.. that's to bad, but it does mean that your DISTINCT is justified. You could try normalizing the postcodes into a separate table but I doubt that that will make much difference (and it's a lot more work for your application) so try an index and see if that helps.
Thank you so much for all your help on this.
Adding an index to TerritoryID in tbl_postcodes sped it up.
This problem is caused by the imperfect query optimizer in MySQL. Apparently, things have improved and from MySQL 5.6.5 your original query should perform much better. I haven't used 5.6 yet so I can't confirm it for sure, but certainly there is hope:

Traffic safety award given to Fortuna Police Department
FORTUNA- California Highway Patrol officials say the number one killer of people ages 3 to 34 is automobile accidents. Today, the CHP recognized the Fortuna Police Department for its efforts.
"It means a great deal to us. I think it shows we're out there, we're doing what we need to be doing as far as education, training and enforcement of speeding, seatbelt enforcement, and DUI laws. And it gives us a chance, especially through our education efforts to showcase us on a statewide level," said Chief Bill Dobberstein of the Fortuna Police Department.
This year marks the fifth California Law Enforcement Challenge award the Fortuna Police Department has won since the contest began in 2003, and this year they won second place. The FPD is in the category for agencies with less than 20 officers. The scores are counted by calculating an agency's ability to train officers, enforce laws, and educate the public about speeding, and driving while impaired. The CHP commissioner, Joe Farrow, says agencies throughout California can learn from the FPD.
"I think that it's all about community. I think this department has a program where they've reached out. For example, the high school. Going to the high school, trying to teach the young students there, the young drivers, about the responsibility of safe driving. No texting, no drinking and driving. No distracting. Obey the speed limits. They're building a foundation that will carry on for years and years and years," said Commissioner Farrow.

John H Bradley
Born John Henry Bradley in Antigo, Wisconsin to James and Kathryn Bradley, John was the
second of five children. He grew up in Appleton, Wisconsin and reportedly had an interest in
entering the funeral parlor business from an early age.
When he was 19, his father suggested he enlist in the Navy so he could avoid ground combat.
However, the Navy chose him to become a medical corpsman and he was eventually assigned to
the U.S. Marine Corps. As a marine medical corpsman, he took part in the assault on Iwo Jima,
one of the most bitterly fought battles of the Pacific War's island-hopping campaign.
In March 1943, Bradley began his medical corpsman training and was initially stationed at the
U.S. Naval Hospital in Oakland. He was then assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 28th Marines, of the
th Marine Division, which was being formed at Camp Pendleton, California.
After participating in the famous flag-raising at Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima, John Bradley was
awarded the Navy Cross for rushing to a wounded man's aid under heavy Japanese fire. A few
days later, he received several shrapnel wounds in his legs, and was evacuated from the combat
zone to the hospital in Hawaii. At the time of Bradley's discharge from the Navy, he received the
following awards and decorations: Navy Cross, Purple Heart, Presidential Unit Citation with one
star (for Iwo Jima), American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with one battle
start (for Iwo Jima), and; World War II Victory Medal.
John Bradley was one of three survivors of the battle and was brought back to the U.S. to tour the
country for the seventh war bond drive which helped lift morale at home. Following this
appearance, he married his childhood sweetheart, Betty Van Gorp, settled down in Antigo, had
eight children, and was active I numerous civic clubs. He rarely took part in ceremonies
celebrating the flag raising, and by the 1960's avoided them altogether. He fulfilled his life-long
dream by buying and managing his own funeral parlor, but was tormented by memories of the
He rarely spoke of the raising of the flag, stating once that he "just happened to be there". His
son James Bradley (who wrote a book about the flag-raisers in 2000 titled "Flags of Our Fathers")
speculated that his father's determined silence and discomfort on the subject of his role in the
Battle of Iwo Jima was largely due to memories of John's best friend, Ralph "Iggy" Ignatowski.
The Battalion Aid Station for the U.S. Marine Corps Officer Candidates School at Marine Corps
Base (MCB) Quantico is named in honor of John Bradley.
John Bradley had a heart attack, but died of a stoke in an Antigo hospital on January 11, 1994, at
the age of 70, the last of the six men who raised the second flag to die. He said more than once to
his children that the only real heroes on Iwo Jima were those that did not survive. John's family
had no idea he had received the Navy Cross until after his death. He is buried in Queen of Peace
Cemetery, Antigo, Wisconsin.

A CONSULTATION has began to see if voters in the Stroud district want to elect district councillors in one go as ward boundaries are set to change.
Currently a third of Stroud District Council's (SDC) 51 members, representing 30 wards, are elected each year for a term of four years, with no scheduled district elections held in the fourth year.
Gloucestershire County Council elections are held every fourth year when there are no district elections.
Under the Localism Act 2011 SDC can change its electoral cycle from election by thirds to whole council elections, where all councillors would be up for election at the same time, once every four years.
The Local Government Boundary Commission for England is undertaking a review of the district's wards and has stipulated that, if elections in thirds continue, the total number of councillors must be divisible by three, with three councillors per ward.
The new rule means rural wards would have to cover very large geographical areas so SDC has taken the decision to review the electoral cycle.
The consultation, which runs until March 21, 2014 can be completed online at: consultation.stroud.gov.uk
Alternatively forms are available from SDC's offices at Ebley Mill and local libraries.

1) The red truck had the least number of drops.
2) The blue truck spent 20 minutes at each drop, and only drove in exactly 1 hour stints.
3) The white truck traveled 2 hours to his first drop, spent 30 minutes at each drop, then drove 2 hours home. All of his drops were one hour apart.
4) The green truck left the depot before the red truck and, after completing both of his drops, returned to find the red truck was already back.
AnswerRed truck - 1 drop - 6 hours
Blue truck - 3 drops - 5 hours
White truck - 4 drops - 9 hours
Green truck - 2 drops - 8 hours
