Anyone have any good tips for up to date complete contact forms with validation and everything that is easy to implement?
ATM my form looks like this, no validation.
<form id="contact-form" action="email.php" method="post">

namn<input type="text" name="name" id="name" />

epost<input type="text" name="mail" id="mail" />
ärende<textarea name="msg" id="msg"></textarea>
<button type="submit" name="send" id="send"><i </button>
$name = $_POST['name'];
$mail = $_POST['mail'];
$msg = $_POST['msg'];
$formcontent="From: $name \
Mail: $mail \
Message: $msg";
$recipient = "firstname.lastname@example.com";
$subject = "Contactform submit from RB";
$mailheader = "From: $mail \\r\
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
echo "Thank You!";
Here is how I do it with server and client side validation. http://www.websitecodetutorials.com/code/php/how-to-html-form-with-php-js-captcha-validation.php. Works perfect.
thx alot. will give it a try.
There is a lot to remember when adding validation to inputs to your website. If your wanting to use a fully implemented validation procedure I would suggest using a framework like Codeignighter. I'd also stick some form of Captcha field into your form, helps stop spammers firing off a million and one emails from your server. Good luck!
It should probably be mentioned that the above code doesn't apply any kind of validation to what is passed to the mail function.This means that you could potentially insert additional headers and use the contact form as a spam tool.
You can read more here: http://www.securephpwiki.com/index.php/Email_Injection
Mine accounts for headers and etc. I pieced it together a long while back. Quite happy with it. Form processing is probably the hardest thing I've ever done to get right. Usually if you grab some one piece of code it has like 10 pages of mumbo jumbo. I was never ok with that. I needed to know what it was doing.

Development and Health of Rural Chinese Children Fed Meat as a Daily Complementary Food From 6-18 Mos of Age

- How to Read a Study Record
Inadequate feeding of infants and toddlers impairs physical and cognitive development and is a major contributor to early childhood infectious disease illnesses and preventable mortality. Optimal feeding has two broad components: Exclusive breast feeding (EBF) for the first-6 months followed by continued breast feeding accompanied by complementary foods (CF) that is adequate in quantity and quality. While EBF is theoretically straightforward, CF is more complex. This is because CF is typically limited mainly or entirely to plant-based foods in developing countries worldwide. Dependence on adequate, affordable locally-produced foods for complete CF requires an inexpensive, regular source of meat especially to provide 'problem' micronutrients, notably, but not only, zinc and bioavailable iron. While the use of micronutrient-fortified CF and of supplements, including SprinklesTM, is spreading, their efficacy largely remains uncertain as does their availability, particularly on a sustainable, affordable basis Achievement of the widespread regular use of meat as a CF requires: (1) adequate local production of affordable small scavenging/foraging animals in poor rural and, where feasible, periurban communities worldwide; (2) effective communication for behavioral change/education so that young children, starting at age 6 months (when meat is readily accepted by infants), receive priority in the use of this meat. Solid scientific evidence of the value of international/national programs to achieve this goal is essential to provide the basis and incentive for major international and national programs to promote the feeding of meat as an early and regular CF. The acquisition of such evidence is the goal of this study
The intervention to be evaluated is meat fed daily as a complementary food from age 6-18 months. Thirty infants-toddlers in each of 60 rural communities (total of 1,800 subjects) will participate. In a cluster design, twenty communities (test) will be randomized to receive meat,twenty communities (control) will receive a plant recipe providing the same amount of calories, twenty communities (fortified cereal) will receive a commercially available fortified cereal providing the same amount of calories. This project will be located in rural China in a county where high quality collaboration is already established, and where we have recently demonstrated inadequate bioavailable zinc intake and zinc deficiency in toddlers. We have also found a high (30%) incidence of stunting, now widely used as an indirect indicator of populations with zinc deficiency. Other advantages of this location include the willingness of doctors located in each rural community to provide the test or control meal 7 days per week in their homes and the absence of any access to supplements / fortified products which could complicate interpretation of data. The young children in the test communities will receive certified safe lean pork 7 days per wk. Starting with a very small quantity at 6 months, the quantity of lean pork will be increased as infants are ready to take more up to a plateau of 2 oz/d. No subsequent increases are planned because neither zinc nor iron requirements increase from 6-11 months to 12-18 months. Lean pork will be used because pigs are ubiquitous in China and can be maintained cheaply by scavenging/foraging on waste materials adjacent to human habitation. Test and control clusters will also receive nutrition education to achieve maximal diversification of locally available affordable foods. Longitudinal outcome measures include indices of physical growth, especially length; infectious disease incidence and prevalence; cognitive development; zinc and iron intake and biomarkers for these and other micronutrients. Zinc absorption will be measured. Data will flow daily from communities to the district hospital in Xi-Chou, weekly to the data manager in Shanghai and 3-monthly to the Data Monitoring Safety Board (DSMB) and to the University of Colorado research group.

Seemingly moments after Ducks center Todd Marchant announced his retirement from the NHL, the franchise's first superstar and longest-serving captain also told the hockey world that he is hanging up his skates.
Paul Kariya announced his retirement Wednesday, telling Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail that his doctor has advised him against playing and re-injuring himself even though he "feels great" after taking last season off to recover from the effects of his latest concussion.
Kariya, 36, also had some pointed comments toward the NHL in the article, saying that it hasn't done enough to address head shots and head injuries. It is believed that he suffered multiple concussions over his 15 NHL seasons, some which went undiagnosed.
Taken fourth overall as the then-expansion Mighty Ducks' first-ever draft pick in 1993, Kariya spent his first eight seasons with the team and established franchise scoring records with 300 goals and 669 points — both which have been eclipsed by good friend Teemu Selanne.
Kariya's greatest moment arguably came as a result of injury as he was helped off the ice in Game 6 of the 2003 Stanley Cup finals when he was leveled by devastating open-ice check from New Jersey defenseman Scott Stevens. The seven-time All-Star returned and scored a dramatic goal 11 minutes later in a 5-2 victory.
Once beloved for his high level of play and incredible chemistry with Selanne for six seasons, Kariya became a reviled figure by a significant segment of the fan base when he turned down a chance to re-sign with the Ducks and left for Colorado as a free agent for just over $1 million.
Kariya retires with 402 goals and 587 assists in 989 games — an exact point-per-game pace. The Ducks' captain from 1996-2003 released the following statement through his agent, Don Baizley:
Today, I announce my retirement from professional hockey. I would like to thank all of those who have been part of so many great memories — my teammates, coaches, team management and staff. I am also very grateful for the support I have received over the years from the fans, especially those in Anaheim, Colorado, Nashville, and St. Louis.
It was my dream to be a professional hockey player in the NHL from my minor hockey days in North Vancouver and Burnaby, through junior hockey in Penticton, college hockey at the University of Maine, and the Canadian National Team. I would not have achieved it without support from all of these people and organizations.

The business department has put out a list of 119 successful bidders for £950m of public money through the regional growth fund. (A new vehicle which now plays part of the role of the wound-up RDAs.) On average this is more than £8m each.
The only downside is that you can't see how much money each company or council is getting or – necessarily – what for. In fact there are 10 successful bids where no details whatsoever have been disclosed: even the names of the winning companies. Read more

AN illustrated talk will explore how Elgar's best known composition was choreographed for the Royal Ballet.
Donald Hunt leads the event, entitled Frederick Ashton's ballet Engima Variations, at the Elgar Birthplace Museum, Lower Broadheath, near Worcester, on Tuesday, May 13 from 10.30am.
British dancer and choreographer Sir Frederick Ashton choreographed the composer's piece for the Royal Ballet and Tony Dyson, who is copyright owner of Sir Frederick Ashton's Enigma Variations ballet, will tell the captivating story of Elgar's composition as a ballet.
Mary Duffy, the museum's marketing officer, said: "Elgar's Enigma Variations has had many interpretations over the years but Frederick Ashton's ballet must be one of the most endearing.
"We are delighted that Tony Dyson, a friend of Ashton, will be telling us the background and stage history of Elgar's Enigma Variations as a ballet."
Tickets are £6, including interval refreshments, and advance booking is advisable.
For more information and tickets, go to elgarmuseum.org or call 01905 333224.

Reviews of this property
The stay in the apartment of Sandra and Benjamin was great. A better home I could hardly imagine. The apartment is in a prime location in the beautiful Montmartre. To the Sacre-Coeur is only a few minutes. A metro station is also around the corner. The apartment is super clean and small, but fine. The bed is very comfortable. The apartment is on the ground floor, but also to the backyard, which was very pleasant. The front door is well protected by a code. Sandra was super nice and open for every question. Thank you. We will come back to Paris and will definitely take this apartment again.
Der Aufenthalt im Appartment von Sandra und Benjamin war großartig. Eine bessere Wohnung könnte ich mir kaum vorstellen. Die Wohnung liegt in einer Top-Lage im schönen Montmartre. Zur Sacre-Coeur sind es nur wenige Minuten. Eine Metro-Station ist auch um die Ecke. Die Wohnung ist super sauber und klein, aber fein. Das Bett ist sehr bequem. Die Wohnung ist im Erdgeschoss, aber zum Hinterhof hinaus, was uns sehr angenehm war. Die Eingangstür ist gut durch einen Code gesichert. Sandra war super lieb und offen für jede Frage. Vielen Dank. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder nach Paris und werden auf jeden Fall wieder dieses Appartment nehmen.
It was really perfect. Very clean and very nice. Located in the heart of Montmartre and only two metro passes. Benjamin thank you for always responding too quickly to my questions, and Salah thank you for being so nice! I would recommend this apartment to everyone!
C'était vraiment parfait. Très propre et très agréable. Situé dans le coeur de montmartre et seulement 2 passes de métro. Merci Benjamin pour répondre toujours trop vite aux mes questions, et merci Salah pour être tellement gentil!
Je conseillerais cet appartement à tout le monde!
Perfect to travel around Paris. The apartment is conveniently situated 1 minute from the metro, 5 minutes from the Sacre Coeur, in the immediate vicinity very many restaurants and shopping. The house is well maintained, the apartment is very well equipped and very clean. It was a right choice to book the apartment of Sandra and Benjamin. Warm and helpful people who are very dedicated and reliable. Thank you for your efforts and see you soon. May and Mama

Herzliche und hilfsbereite Menschen, die sehr engagiert und zuverlässig sind. Vielen dank für eure Bemühungen und bis bald. Mai und Mama
Spectacular holiday, the location of the house is excellent, very close to the metro and located in a neighborhood known Benjamin bello.Abbiamo very nice and friendly person .. The apartment is small but comfortable and well laid out. Really nice experience ...
Spettacolare vacanza,la posizione della casa è ottima,vicinissima alla metro e situata in un quartiere molto bello.Abbiamo conosciuto Benjamin persona simpatica e cordiale..L'appartamento è piccolo ma confortevole e ben disposto.
Bella esperienza davvero...
Very well organized (SMS and allways available!)
Benjamin was allready waiting for us at 9:30 for the Introduction,
although it was only a short Stopover for us!
Perfect Location in my favourite area of Paris.
My wife loved it - it was the perfect end to a memorable vacation in Guadeloupe.
Must be repeated as often as possible !
The apartment is beautiful. It is very comfortable and has everything you need for your stay. Benjamin is very nice and was waiting for us upon arrival. He also requested a taxi for us which arrived right on time. The apartment is located in a centric area and within walking distance to bakery, supermarket ... The metro is within steps from the apt. It takes 20 to 25 minuts to get to all tourist attractions. Extremely satisfied with my stay there! Thanks Benjamin
It was great.
Directly in the heart of Montmatre.
Very clean and nice appartement.
We can only recommend this appartement.
Firstly, Benjamin deserves top marks for being so nice.
It took me roughly twenty minutes to get from Gare du Nord to SonAmourSacréCoeur, where I was promptly greeted by Benjamin on my arrival.
The apartment is everything you'd expect from the photos, description, and previous reviews: small, comfortable, cosy, and above all in a great location.
About a five minute walk from the Sacré Coeur, you can get the metro line 12 (a minute's walk from the apartment) down to central Paris. The city is effectively your oyster.
To sum up, I had a great stay in a well priced apartment that allowed me to enjoy the entire city with ease.
Would stay again.
I would definitely recommend this appartment for anyone's stay in Paris. It's nice, clean and I loved the neighborhood. Also the hosts Benjamin and Sandra are very friendly and welcoming.
Dear Benjamin,Sandra et Gaspard,i should have written earlier but well was still enjoying the air in Rome....
Your timely response to my request your patience and wow the apartment lovely! I couldn't ask for better..it's conveniently accessible as the metro is just next door. I will definately stay again next time am in Paris!

Then... well, it depends on what games I get for Christmas and whether I'm in the XIV alphas or betas or not.

A style from the subcontinent of India. The art was salvaged from old wooden Indian block prints that were retired from printing patterns on fabrics. It is very simple line art but the pattern repeats intricately, which makes it rich and deep. In the background of the area the text is on, the art appears again as a very light and subtle pattern. The main art is in a bright, light color, the text is dark to be readable. The main font is in a celebratory calligraphy. It's fun and fanciful, and includes some very interesting, beautiful letter endings such as the bottom descender of the 'y' and the cross of the 't'.

The Panoramic River: the Hudson and the Thames - Hudson River Museum
Through May 19, 2013 - Yonkers
In the late 18th century, British artists developed the large-scale panorama, which became a popular form of entertainment in Europe and the United States. The Hudson River Museum's exhibition, "The Panoramic River: the Hudson and the Thames," explores the panoramic vista as the ideal expression for a new, all-embracing way of seeing the landscape that influenced how the public and artists perceived it as well. By the early 19th century, painters such as Robert Havell Jr. worked to express this panoramic perspective in their choice and depiction of vistas. Havell and other artists in the exhibition such as Thomas Cole, Jasper Cropsey, and John Kensett, favored the chain of cities, suburbs, and countryside along these two rivers, where horizontal planes and historical associations gave form to both artistic and cultural expression.
"The Panoramic River" features loans from museums, galleries, and private collections. Museums lending paintings include: Baltimore Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Fenimore Art Museum, The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College; Maryland State Archives; Metropolitan Museum of Art; The New-York Historical Society; and Princeton University Art Museum.
"The Panoramic River" is organized by Hudson River Museum co-curators Bartholomew Bland, Director of Curatorial Affairs, and Laura Vookles, Chief Curator of Collections. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with additional essays by Pat Hardy, Curator of Paintings, Prints and Drawings, Museum of London, and Geoff Snell, Doctoral Student, University of Sussex and the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, England.
The exhibition and the accompanying catalogue have been made possible by a generous grant from the Mr. and Mrs. Raymond J. Horowitz Foundation for the Arts, Inc. On view through May 19, 2013.

Through June 09, 2013 - SoHo
For twenty-five years, The Children's Museum of the Arts has provided children of all backgrounds the creative tools needed to promote self-expression and esteem through visual and performing arts. In celebration of its 25th anniversary, CMA is proud to present Face to Face, an exhibit that offers a fascinating exploration of self-identity through still, moving, and living portraits, as portrayed by children using traditional methods of painting and drawing as well as technology.
The main exhibit will consist of 40 portraits selected from CMA's Permanent Collection of children's art from over 50 countries, dating back to the 1930's. These pieces represent
a range of historical moments, cultures and medium and will be hung salon style throughout the gallery.
To incorporate CMA's philosophy of hands-on art-making, the exhibit will be accompanied by a variety of interactive installations that examine the texture, shape and sound of portraits. CMA will set up hands-on stations that will encourage visitors to become part of the exhibit, including reimagined versions of a typical self-portrait station. The CMA Media Lab will also create a photo booth in which visitors can take photos that will be projected on the wall. These photos will stream into a montage that will be accessioned into the collection and will also serve as a fascinating time-lapse of the exhibit as a whole.
Face to Face also offers aspiring young artists the opportunity to submit their own works for a chance to become part of the museum's Permanent Collection. CMA will accept 25 original original works, in honor of 25 years of operation, to be selected by the museum's curatorial team. One selected piece will be chosen by an online viewer's choice campaign, hosted through CMA's website and social media platforms.
To explore dimension, the exhibition will include a large-scale Pin Impression Board, offering several panels for visitors to experiment with and view their face as artwork.
CMA will also present their first ever Artist-At-Work station in the Fine Arts Studio. Here, guest artists will volunteer their time and allow visitors to observe them in action as they create original portraits.

Apropos of Nothing
Jonathan Willis
October 06 2008 01:55PM
It's been a painful process watching the development of Oilers' goaltenders. The most successful home-developed goaltender to this point of Kevin Lowe's tenure has been Ty Conklin, and that's far from a ringing endorsement. High draft picks like Jeff Deslauriers and Devan Dubnyk look eventually slated for an NHL career, but it remains uncertain if either will ever become starters at hockey's highest level.
Still, it must be more frustrating to watch a goaltending prospect develop well, and then make fun demands:
Ondrej Pavelec, the top prospect in the Atlanta Thrashers organization, will not be reporting to the AHL his agent [Allan Walsh] told Sporting News... Walsh said Pavelec has options, including several interested teams in Russia or he would welcome a trade from the Thrashers. "We're evaluating where his next step is," Walsh said. "He's most likely going to get on a plane and go home right now."
Among some of the choice quotes from Walsh:
"That is criminal mismanagement of a young goalie." "He will never be part of an organization that doesn't keep its word and treats players in this manner."
The reason for all this anger (at least, judging by Walsh's statements) seems to have less to do with the assignment to the Chicago Wolves and more to do with his treatment during the pre-season. Pavelec got into his first game on September 25th against Nashville, making 36 saves en-route to a 4–2 victory. He didn't play again until the third period of an October 3rd game, again against Nashville, but this time he allowed four goals on 15 shots, losing 6–4. Walsh's statements indicate that Pavelec feels he never got a legitimate chance at an NHL roster spot, and given that he played a little over 80 minutes of hockey in the pre-season, it's hard to argue with that.
Still, Thrashers' coach John Anderson presumably knows Pavelec's level of readiness, given that he was behind the bench as Pavelec and the Chicago Wolves won the Calder Cup last spring. Pavelec went 33-16-0, with a .911 SV% and 2.77 GAA in the regular season, and then went 16-8-0 in the playoffs with a .921 SV% and 2.34 GAA. All that and he's a year younger than Devan Dubnyk.
While I tend to agree with Bill Tiller that the majority of the blame lies on the Pavelec side of the equation here (Pavelec knew in advance he'd be splitting time in that ugly game against Nashville, so he wasn't "thrown into the game cold," as Walsh claimed), it may very well be that Pavelec will force Atlanta's hand. If that happens, would a package centered around Devan Dubnyk be of interest to the Thrashers? I'd certainly imagine that the Oilers would make a pitch if Pavelec were to become available, as he's a clear upgrade over any of the team's goaltending prospects in the last decade.

October 06 2008, 02:28PM
I read on hfboards that Tuukka Rask is pouting about being sent to Providence this season. Whats with these foreign goalies?
It seems like these Euro Goalies come out of nowhere to be good and can fade into the mists quite as quickly.
What does Atlanta have going on that is so good that they can't give this guy a chance? The Oil should take a run at him. They aren't packing anyone that says a goalie this good can't find a position on the Falcons
October 06 2008, 06:06PM
Jonathan: I doubt they'd want Dubnyk, and I doubt Pavelec would enjoy the prospect of playing in Springfield. He thinks he's too good for the AHL, and rightfully so. If I'm him, a place like LA would be ideal, because there are actual NHL openings.
I think there is a couple things here:
1) why would someone want to ride the buses and collect an AHL paycheck, when teams in Russia would be drooling over you and offer big money? My guess is to play in the NHL sometime (soonish), if Pavelec doesn't think they are giving him a fair shot then why not try and force someone's hand?
2) Hedberg sucks, why not the kid chance? He won't be worse?
3) Other players have sat out if they don't think the organization is treating them fairly. Usually it is over money, not a chance to make the team. This is not that unusual.
Maybe not try and trade Dubnyk, but rather get rid of JDD (with Schremp?), but hopefully we get something else back. Then play both Pavelec and Dubnyk in the AHL and tell them there will be a back up spot next year, when Roli is gone, and they be competing for it.
October 06 2008, 10:03PM
I think he wants to go somewhere he will play NHL hockey. If he won't report to the Chicago Wolves I doubt he'll report to the Falcons.
Oh Atlanta...
I've been following the goaltending situation in Atlanta with some interest since a discussion a while back on the subject at the Contrarian Goaltender's site (here. It seems another one of Don Waddell's perfect storms has been brewing between the pipes.
I think McKeen's 2008-09 captures the situation not too badly. Let me quote a few excerpts (of James Mirtle?) from that annual staple:
Kari Lehtonen: "Overcame a shaky start and early groin problems (missed 16 games) to post a solid .922 save percentage over the second half, though grew increasingly moody and frustrated during a fatal 1-8-3 skid to begin the final quarter ... it reached the boiling point in March with a heated critical outburst directed at teammates ... must focus on improving his rebound control and careless puckhandling which results in a steady diet of egregious giveaways ... responded to his inappropriate tirade with a strong finish (3-2, .951) to a more mature version this time around." Johan Hedberg: "The Moose continued to be a solid mentor and complementary backup in Atlanta to the introverted Kari Lehtonen, as well as a clubhouse leader having been awarded the Players' Player Award for a second consecutive year ... a poised and competitve standup goalie with good all-around quickness and outstanding work habits ... can be a settling influence as he plays a steady game and seldom gets caught out ofn position ... should see 25-30 starts safely - and more if the youngsters struggle." Ondrej Pavelec: "Scripted a landmark pro debut leading all AHL rookies and ranking second in the league with 33 wins ... saved the best for the postseason, backstopping the Wolves to a Calder Cup title with some sensational performances (16-8, 2.34, .921) ... best attribute might be his focus and mental composure ... displays all the tools to be an NHL starter."
Now if I'm the GM I'm not sure which one of those guys I'm trading, but I am sure it's not Hedberg. That said the GM is Waddell, so all bets are off. He's got a heavy investment in a #2 overall draft pick who is finally starting to come around, and a 2nd-rounder from three years later who is ahead of the curve and already "been there done that" in the AHL. If Waddell plays his cards right, he's dealing from strength. But if he fucks up yet again, Pavelec will be gone to the KHL, and then Lehtonen will tweak his groin.
I'd certainly imagine that the Oilers would make a pitch if Pavelec were to become available, as he's a clear upgrade over any of the team's goaltending prospects in the last decade.
You could say of the last quarter century and not be wrong, Jonathan. I like the idea of going after Pavelec. The price might be right just now, especially since Don Waddell is the one setting it.

An Ilkley online education provider played host to its Annual Lean Healthcare Conference and Awards at a Leeds hotel.
Representatives from NHS hospital trusts and private healthcare organisations gathered at the Marriott Hotel in Leeds for the awards, held by Ilkley company Virtual College.
Providing a platform for healthcare organisations to celebrate and share best practice, the conference and awards is the only event of its kind in the country dedicated to Lean working methodologies in healthcare.
The Lean philosophy, traditionally associated with Japanese car manufacturing, has evolved from a tool designed to improve operational shop-floor performance.
Now, a growing number of forward- thinking hospitals, community health services, back-office workers and senior healthcare executives are increasingly applying Lean, waste reduction techniques and continuous improvement in their everyday work.
Over 100 entries from healthcare organisations went through the independent judging process, which saw a total of 24 short-listed healthcare organisations exhibiting and presenting their Lean projects in a series of workshops throughout the day.
Director of the Health and Social Care Division of Virtual College, Judith Clarkson, said: "The quality of submissions we saw this year is a great demonstration of the commitment and passion in healthcare, despite a difficult year. All projects have made a positive impact on patient experience."

Microsoft Sees 24 Percent Increase in Windows Revenue, Drop in Profit

Sender E-mail
(Source: itsalltech.com)
Microsoft reported a 2.7 percent increase in overall revenue thanks to a small boost from Windows 8
Windows 8 didn't hit the ground running
the way Microsoft thought it would after the October 2012 release, but it did offer a small boost in the company's latest financial earnings report.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, Microsoft reported a 2.7 percent boost in revenue to $21.5 billion from $20.9 billion in the year-ago quarter. However, the Windows maker saw a 3.7 percent drop in profit to $6.38 billion (76 cents a share) from $6.62 billion (78 cents a share) one year ago.
Microsoft saw a revenue increase of 24 percent in its Windows division to $5.88 billion (or 11 percent when adjusted for early sales of Windows 8) for the second quarter, which was the first to include Windows 8.
Microsoft didn't offer sales figures for its first homemade tablet,
Surface with Windows RT
. The new version -- Surface with Windows 8 Pro -- is expected to hit store shelves on February 9.
"Our big, bold ambition to reimagine Windows as well as launch Surface and Windows Phone 8 has sparked growing enthusiasm with our customers and unprecedented opportunity and creativity with our partners and developers," said Steve Ballmer, CEO at Microsoft. "With new Windows devices, including Surface Pro, and the new Office on the horizon, we'll continue to drive excitement for the Windows ecosystem and deliver our software through devices and services people love and businesses need."
Windows 8, which was released in late October 2012, was met with plenty of criticism for its massive redesign. However, many PC makers (such as Dell) were hoping that it'd be the saving grace for the PC market, where hardware sales had been declining over the years as mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) exploded onto the scene.
But many PC makers
didn't see a huge increase in sales
with Windows 8. And while Microsoft hasn't released sales figures for its Surface tablet yet, reports last month indicated that the new device took a sales hit due to
a lack of distribution
. Microsoft had only offered the Surface with Windows RT online and at Microsoft stores (and there are a little over 60 stores total in the U.S.).
In mid-December, Microsoft finally allowed
third-party retailers
to sell the Surface.
Surface with Windows RT also made its way to Australia in mid-December, and will do so in other countries in the following months.
Earlier this month, Microsoft announced that
60 million Windows 8 licenses were sold
. However,
60 million licenses sold doesn't mean that there are 60 million Windows 8 devices out there.
In today's financial earnings report for Q2, Microsoft also announced declines in its Entertainment and Devices division (including Xbox) of 11 percent to $3.77 billion and its Business division (including Microsoft Office) of 10 percent to $5.69 billion from a year earlier.
Microsoft's shares were down 2.1 percent in after-hours trading today to $27.63.
"If they're going to pirate somebody, we want it to be us rather than somebody else." -- Microsoft Business Group President Jeff Raikes

Recommendation to "Taking Over Enemy Territory" section, I believe the number of gang members you must kill is three, and that you have to kill them with a gang weapon (AK-47, possibly others?) and you must do so within the enemy color on the map. (If they are slightly outside of the turf you want to engage, you can lure them into the desired zone before killing them to start the war.)
Recommendation to add to "Defending Grove Street Territory" section, if your territory comes under attack, you can instead head for a safehouse and save the game to avoid having to defend your turf.
- I added the second lot of info. As for the number of gang members you need to kill, I can't remember, it's been a long time since I've played GTA San Andreas. Thanks for the tips, but remember, you can edit this wiki too. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 08:08, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
It doesn't matter where the enemy gang members are. The player should stand on foot inside a Territory and kill three gang members anywhere within a short period of time.
-- J7n (talk) 00:42, January 5, 2013 (UTC) 126.96.36.199
Revealing extra territories
i tried unlocking more territory but i dont know where to drive the plane and drown urself
I haven't tried getting the extra territory, but I heard you need to fly for fifteen real-life minutes. So, tape down the X button, and go do something else while the game does it's thing. If that doesn't work, I can't help you, because I have the 'Greatest Hits' version of San Andreas, and flying won't do anything to the gang territories in that version. MAINEiac4434 19:38, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
This glitch probably requires one specific game version. I failed to reveal more territories on the first ever released PC port by flying either south-west or east.
-- J7n (talk) 00:42, January 5, 2013 (UTC) 220.127.116.11
Needs expansion
The article only talks about the Los Santos gang territories, but not about how (and when) the player can start taking over territories in San Fierro and Las Venturas, which is implied here and in other walkthroughs. 23skidoo 17:14, April 10, 2011 (UTC)
running people over
Is it worth stating that trying to run 3 rival members over in a car to trigger a gang war won't work??? It definitely doesn't so it won't need to be checked. I'm 100% on this. Russelnorthrop 07:22, June 29, 2011 (UTC)
- I believe either the article or the strategy guide make clear the initial kills need to be on foot. 23skidoo 15:04, November 6, 2011 (UTC)
Deleted section
After some thought I deleted the following glitch section because it is so poorly written it makes no sense whatsoever and is completely unhelpful. I've no doubt this is a genuine glitch - but what does it mean? If someone can take this and rewrite it so it makes sense, please feel free to put it back into the article 23skidoo 15:04, November 6, 2011 (UTC)
Glitch: territory attacked by the other gangs (Varrios los aztecas, San Fierro Rifas, Triad, Da nang boys and Italian Mafia)
to do the glitch took three members of the Los Santos Vagos or Ballas and bring in a territory of another gang (as the territory of El Corona Varrios Los Aztecas) and kill three of them and then return to the area and the striker will be coveted by Varrios Los Aztecas, Triads, San Fierro Rifas, Da Nang Boys or the Mafia (depending on the chosen enemy territory while you are attacking) and once complete you will earn the defense on top of that the territory of the gang you attack
Justification for putting my contribution on top (only two waves/cars)
IMO, the gang wars are repetitive and waiting for gang members to spawn isn't fun. So I believe quite a few people will be very glad about it.

The Monday morning Export Inspections data apparently proved quite supportive of the corn market, since the latest figure, at 21.1 million bushels, marked the largest weekly result since last September. However, wire service reports contended that the prospect of re-emergent dry weather over Argentine grain growing areas next week was the main driver of the afternoon CBOT rally. While Southern Brazil and parts of Argentina are expected to be blessed with rainfall this weekend, the weather models are apparently pointing to the reemergence of the high blocking moisture from that region next week. The market apparently saw more of the same in overnight trading, with March corn rising 1 3/4 cents to $7.31/bushel and December unchanged at $5.90.
Soybean traders were quite aware yesterday of anticipated rains over Southern Brazil and Argentina this coming weekend, but the prospective return of recent dryness afterward was what apparently caught their attention. Those concerns very likely powered the late CBOT advance in beans and meal, whereas spreading between the two products probably weighed upon soy oil futures. There seemed to be little substantive news Monday night and Tuesday morning, as signified by the fact that the complex was mixed to unchanged in early morning activity. March beans inched 1/4 cent higher $14.48/bushel, while March soyoil rose 0.01 cent to 51.90 cents/pound and March meal gained $0.4 to $420.7/ton.
Wheat traders were apparently encouraged by the ability of minor technical support to hold last week, so they were probably ready to jump upon the bullish bandwagon (pardon the mixed metaphors) Monday. The weekly Export Inspections result may also have buoyed their hopes for continued price gains. But the real power behind any bullish moves will almost surely derive from the persistent dryness dominating the winter wheat fields spread across the Southern Plains. If that situation does not improve significantly during the coming weeks, prospects for a decent crop will diminish substantially. Talk along those lines very likely boosted futures in overnight trading. March CBOT wheat futures climbed 2 cents to $7.81 1/4 in early morning action, while March KCBT wheat increase 2 1/2 cents to $8.35 1/4 and March MGE futures edged 1 1/2 cents higher to $8.68 per bushel.
As expected, live cattle futures responded well to the combination of bullish data on the Friday (1/25) USDA Cattle on Feed report and weekend news that Japan will ease restrictions on U.S. beef February first. They currently allow beef only from animals documented to be 20 months or younger, while the new rule will allow product from animals up to 30 months of age. This potentially opens the island nation up to the bulk of U.S. production, although the industry will almost surely have to be able to certify the age of animals used. This probably means some delays in ramping up Japanese exports, but the underlying possibility of doubling U.S. sales to that country apparently carried the day. The potential for delays, as well as the inability of wholesale beef prices to sustain rallies seemed to weigh on the market overnight. After spiking upward Monday, February cattle fell 0.52 cents to $128.42 cents/pound in the early morning hours, while April dipped 0.37 cents to 133.02.
Few CME traders could have been terribly surprised that the big Monday cattle rally spilled over into the hog pit, with the swine contracts posting varying gains. A portion of that strength may also have reflected bullish expectations concerning the short-term hog outlook, since cash prices traditionally rise moderately during late January and early February. The fact that the CME lean hog index remains at a noticeable premium to the nearby February future also seems very supportive. The afternoon cash reports were decidedly mixed, with those in the influential Iowa-Southern Minnesota region posting significant losses. Pork cutout rose modestly. We suspect disappointment with the results of the Monday afternoon cash and wholesale reports undercut hog futures Monday night and Tuesday morning. February hogs slipped 0.32 cents to 86.85 cents/pound in early-morning electronic trading, while June futures skidded 0.15 cents to 97.50.
A Monday afternoon wire service report indicated that Chinese officials proved able to sell only 29% of the government cotton put up for sale last week, which made the previous weekly result, at just 55% sold, seem positively robust. This reportedly encouraged ICE cotton traders, since it suggested demand from Chinese textile mills will remain strong and that the government will have a hard time getting rid of its massive stockpile. Many in the industry view cotton as being significantly overvalued when viewed within the context of huge Chinese inventories, but traders seemingly harbor few worries in this regard. The strong overnight advance offers more proof on that point. March cotton futures jumped 1.17 to 82.22 cents/pound in pre-dawn trading, while December surged 0.99 cents to 80.98.

The young Egyptian actress Riham Abed Al Ghafour denied the rumors spreading about her new cinema film "The Academy," thatshe plays a seductive role in the film.
Riham said that the film is about the relationship between group of girls and guys that attend the same Academy and those relations are about their emotional, social and even problems with one another. Riham adds that she plays the role of a girl that has an Egyptian father and a Syrian mother and she falls in love with a young guy which is played by the music artist Ahmad Al Shami.
Riham said she is a mother and doesn't want to play any scene that would embarrass her son 'Yousif'.
As for now Riham is participating in a new television drama series "Afrah Iblis" (The Devil's Celebrations) which is directed by Sami Muhammad. The series starts the famous Syrian actor Jamal Suleiman who has the leading role in the series.

Rangers vs Tigers – Game 2 Postponed
The 2nd game of the ALCS was postponed Sunday due to rain. The Texas Rangers won game 1 of the series on Saturday night over the Detroit Tigers by a score of 3-2, a game that saw two different rain delays. One delay was 41 minutes and the other was 1:09. With more rain forecast for Sunday night, officials felt it best to reschedule the game for Monday. This means the teams travel day will be interrupted and they will play 4 straight games without a break. More after the jump.

The Australian dollar was almost three-quarters of a US cent higher after economic growth figures came in broadly as expected.
In late trade, the local unit was buying 104.74 US cents, up from 104.06 cents on Tuesday.
Gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 0.5 per cent in the three months to September 30, down a touch from 0.6 per cent in the June quarter, with the dip caused mainly by falling commodity prices.
Over the year to September 30, the economy grew by 3.1 per cent.
CMC Markets senior trader Tim Waterer said the Australian dollar maintained its levels in the face of falling commodity prices and slower economic growth.
''The Australian dollar has exhibited Teflon-like qualities recently by ascending despite events, which may on the surface have suggested moves to the contrary,'' he said.
''The GDP reading today caused a mild downward reaction in the Australian dollar but the ground was quickly recovered.
''The growth of 0.5 per cent for the quarter versus 0.6 per cent forecast did not miss the mark by miles, but equally it was nothing to get too excited about, which explains the fairly mild response by the market.''
Mr Waterer said the focus for the market would be the Australian employment figures for November on Thursday and US employment data on Friday, also for November.

Japan's government nominated Asian Development Bank President Haruhiko Kuroda to be the next Bank of Japan governor on Thursday, aiming to install an advocate of aggressive monetary easing who has extensive international experience.
The government also nominated academic Kikuo Iwata, who supports unconventional monetary policy, and BOJ official Hiroshi Nakaso, who has hands-on knowledge of the central bank's inner workings, as deputy governors, ruling party lawmaker Genichiro Sata said on Thursday.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was widely expected to nominate the three men to the senior BOJ posts as he aims to make good on an election pledge to push the central bank into bolder economic stimulus to try to end nearly two decades of mild deflation.
The government now has to shepherd the nominees through a vetting process in the two chambers of parliament. A lack of a majority in the upper house means Abe will need opposition support for his BOJ picks.
Kuroda, 68, would replace current BOJ governor Masaaki Shirakawa, 63, who is due to leave office on March 19 along with the two deputy governors.
In coming days, the three candidates will give testimony in parliament before lawmakers vote on the nominations.
Kuroda supports increased purchases of government bonds and other domestic assets, such as corporate bonds or exchange traded funds (ETFs), to pump cash into the economy. He has suggested two years as an appropriate amount of time for the BOJ to meet its 2 percent inflation target.
Kuroda, a former finance ministry bureaucrat who oversaw yen-selling intervention from 1999 to 2003, has said the BOJ should not buy foreign currency bonds as that constitutes currency policy.
In contrast, Iwata prefers buying more longer-dated government bonds over purchases of corporate bonds or ETFs. Nakaso, who currently oversees the BOJ's international operations, may not feature prominently in policy setting.
The lower house of parliament is sure to approve the nominees as Abe's ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner have a majority there.

Did you know?
Loftus Versfeld is also the home ground of the celebrated Blue Bulls rugby team.
Loftus Versfeld Stadium is one of South Africa's most iconic sporting venues, with a history that dates back over a century. It was named after Robert Owen Loftus Versfeld, who was the founder of organised sports in Pretoria, but unlike some other sporting venues which have changed their names, this Pretoria stadium has clung on to its original name. Locals know it affectionately as just 'Loftus'.
Over the decades, it has undergone many upgrades − the last major one in readiness for the the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ when it hosted six matches, including the Round 16 match between Paraguay and Japan (Paraguay won 5-3 on penalties).
Some R90-million was spent on a new roof over its East Pavilion, new VIP seating, an upgraded lighting system and facilities for emergency power. New video boards, scoreboards, turnstiles and comprehensive media facilities were all installed as well as additional seats with a spectator capacity of 51 762.
Loftus Versfeld Stadium hosted both the Rugby World Cup in 1995 and the African Cup of Nations in 1996. It was the field on which South Africa first won a soccer match against European opposition, namely Sweden, in 1999. It has hosted the 2013 Castle Rugby Championship, the 2013 ABSA Currie Cup Final, as well as numerous soccer and boxing matches.
To be at Loftus Versfeld, to hear the crowd roar as its teams take to the field, and the swell of thousands of proud voices singing South Africa's national anthem, Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika, is to share a quintessential experience of South Africa's sporting culture.
The seemingly stately city of Pretoria may be the political and diplomatic hub of Gauteng province, but Loftus Versfeld is the sporting heart of South Africa.

I could hardly wait to share my brand-new design for familystyle food — here it is! But bear with me, please.
I decided it was better to make the site live instead of having you land on an empty page with an "under construction" message. I'm still working behind the scenes to be sure that all the x's and i's are in their happy place and links go where they're supposed to.
I hope to fine tune things in the next week or so. More details are on the way – check in again very soon…!

"I love our Save-the-Dates! The colors are exactly what we picked out and I love that we got to see a proof of precisely what we wanted. The magnet works perfectly and the photos came out looking gorgeous! The first person we gave one to was so excited that it was magnetized and said that the pictures were really great quality! I cannot say enough good things about this product."
"My fiancé and I were so excited to order this particular design for our save the dates! The picture we chose, and the customized color for the background went PERFECTLY!!!

• Ready to wear 1940s style Lana Dress
• Skirt Length: 31 inches
• Fabric: 100% Polyester
• Made in London, UK
• Wash on delicates and drip dry
Here we have a gorgeous new 1940s style Lana Dress, created with one of my favourite movie stars in mind.
The dramatic draping collar and lightly padded shoulders give a great contrast to the fitted bodice. The skirt has flattering gathers at the front while having an A-line at the back to slim the hips. We have added some pockets for extra detail- everything a gal needs to look like a 40s goddess! Perfect for any occasion, just pin on a matching Brooch to complete your look.
The dress has a loose fit to drape gorgeously, so we have allowed a little extra room on the waist. This fabric, in prints perfect for the era, is very low maintenance- just wash on delicates and drip dry.
