CORRECT: Air NZ's Parton gets the nod for Luxon's inner circle, appointed COO
(Fixes CEO's name and Parton's new title in first graph)
By Paul McBeth
Nov. 12 (BusinessDesk) - National carrier Air New Zealand's Bruce Parton will join incoming boss Christopher Luxon's inner circle after being appointed chief operations officer.
Group Australasian general manager Parton, who reportedly put his hat in the ring for the top job, will take on the new role from next year, Air NZ said in a statement. He joins chief financial officer Rob McDonald, chief flight operations and safety officer Captain David Morgan, chief marketing and customer officer Mike Tod and chief strategy and planning officer Stephen Jones, who were confirmed on the executive team in October.
"Having worked closely with him since my arrival last year I know his passion for our airline will be a significant asset going forward," Luxon said. "With his mix of technical, logistics and commercial background, Bruce was the ideal candidate to fill the new chief operations officer role and being an internal appointment further supports a strong executive leadership team ready to hit the ground running in 2013."
Luxon's appointment has seen GM of human resources Vanessa Stoddart flag her exit at the end of the year, and deputy CEO and 44-year industry veteran Norm Thompson will retire in June. Glen Sowry, GM of operations, was another to jump ship, announcing his departure in September.
The executive team will be rounded out by a new chief commercial officer and chief people officer.
Air NZ shares rose 0.4 percent to $1.25 in trading today.

Page leads Dutch at league wrestling duals
DUBUQUE—Sophomore Daniel Page (Yelm, Wash., Tumwater HS) knocked off a nationally ranked opponent and scored three wins for Central College as the No. 29 Dutch finished 1-2 at the Iowa Conference wrestling duals Saturday.
Competing at the University of Dubuque, Central was overwhelmed by defending national champion No. 1 Wartburg College 34-6 and 26th-ranked Dubuque 29-12 but rebounded with a 45-0 triumph against Buena Vista University. The Dutch improved to 10-5, achieving the 10-wins mark for the fourth straight year.
Page jumpstarted the day at 125 pounds with a 3-2 upset over Wartburg's Gilberto Camacho, who is ranked No. 3 in Division III. Page followed with a 3-0 decision against Dubuque and 16-1 technical fall against Buena Vista.
"Daniel had a stellar day and is a great starter for us at the beginning of the lineup," coach Eric Van Kley said. "He controlled the pace of the match against Wartburg for a big win and followed with two good wins."
It's the second ranked opponent Page has conquered. Earlier in the season he defeated fourth-ranked Jimmy Gotto, an all-American from Coe College. Page is 20-5.
Theron Stewart (senior, Marshalltown) also scored three wins at 197 pounds. He improved to 22-3 with a 7-2 decision, 14-0 major decision and forfeit. Stewart has a 71-38 career mark.
"Stewart is a senior that has done everything we've ever asked," Van Kley said. "He got a big decision against Wartburg and helps the team finish strong at one of the upper weights. It's great to see him wrestling the best of his career."
Ryan Davis (senior, Shreveport, La., Northwood HS) was 2-1 at 149 pounds. His 18-2 technical fall against Dubuque (8-7) gave the Dutch an 8-6 lead. The Spartans slipped away with two falls and three straight major decisions.
"It was tight against Dubuque but we gave up some bonus points and let a couple swing matches get away," Van Kley said.
After picking up the two wins against Wartburg (17-0), Van Kley said the Dutch are continuing to gain ground on the Knights.
"Our wrestlers attacked and were in matches," he said. "They're an outstanding team and ranked number one in the country for a reason."
Van Kley was pleased with the team's effort.
"It was another competitive day in the Iowa Conference and there were a lot of positives," he said. "We had some really nice wins. We've also got some things we want to build on and some areas we know we can get better at before the regional tournament next month."
Central travels to Indianola Friday, meeting Simpson College at 7 p.m., before making a home appearance next Saturday with a 3:30 p.m. dual against No. 24 Luther College at H.S. Kuyper Fieldhouse.

text: Spotting a power hitter is easy; being one is mostly a gift. Look at Robert Garrigus, who led the PGA Tour in driving distance last year at 315.5 yards. He has a strong grip, great width on both sides of the swing, and a massive leg drive through impact. Brittany Lincicome, who's leading the LPGA Tour this year at 275.5 yards, also makes a huge extension off the ball, but her speed comes from clubhead lag—she slings the clubhead at the last second for a burst of speed.\nA closer look at Robert's swing shows that he doesn't get the club to parallel at the top—often considered a benchmark for power. What he does get is a tremendous coil: His hips don't turn much, but his shoulders do. That produces a really big X-Factor, or stretch between the upper body and lower body. And look at how he releases everything through the ball: He's turning so hard, his eyes are looking way down the line when the club's only halfway down! Serious power position there.\nBrittany hovers the clubhead at address like two other great drivers you might have heard of: Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman. She has what I call a two-way move at the top—her hips start turning forward before her shoulders finish turning back. That's another way to increase your X-Factor, and she does it as well as any player on tour, man or woman. That's how she creates that powerful lag on the downswing. And check out her finish: Have you ever seen a player more released onto the front foot? Every amateur needs to do that.\nI spend most days trying to explain to golfers that power is only part of the equation. You need solid ball-striking and sound mechanics and consistency. But, man, when you see pictures like these, who wouldn't want to be a bomber?

Maron, 49, seems to be effortlessly gliding through his angst, laughing only rarely while giving viewers far more reason to do so.Uncle Barky Full Review
Maron is at its greatest when the comedian plays into the abrasiveness that lands him in trouble with others.Under The Radar Full Review
It takes what's great about the WTF podcast--Maron's smarts, his profound love of and understanding of comedy and the people who perform it--and adds a scripted, fictional element where Sally Kellerman can play his mother and Judd Hirsch can play his father and a bevy of real-life comics and friends can stop by to mingle the two worlds and it all works out marvelously and hilariously.The Hollywood Reporter Full Review
Maron is short, funny and coherent.Wall Street Journal Full Review
Maron is his own acerbic, sad-sack self, and his new show is worth a look.San Francisco Chronicle Full Review
The three episodes I've seen function as shaggy dog stories: not wildly funny, nor as dark and emotional as "Louie" so often gets, but amusing in spots and with a very clear voice.Hitfix Full Review
Though its narrative structure and atmosphere take a markedly different tack, Maron presents itself as a fair complement to Louie in that both shows concern themselves with refreshingly substantive masculine types.Slant Magazine Full Review
It's a likable, natural extension of Maron's brand.Boston Globe Full Review
It can be claustrophobic; it can be, as Marc's Twitter hater tells him in the first episode, "whiny." But it can also be quite funny, as Maron's instinctive kvetchiness runs up against the practicalities of life.Time Full Review
The sardonically squirm-inducing Maron alternates between slice-of-rant sitcom and self-obsessed podcast from the comedian's garage.TV Guide Magazine Full Review
That he is a difficult character is not lost on Maron, or the collective superego that runs his show. Other characters--the supporting performances are shaded and excellent throughout and help take the edges off--find him difficult as well; they stand in for the audience, criticizing him on its behalf.Los Angeles Times Full Review
Maron is a little bit like the podcast without the guests, which is too much Maron. The best aspects of the show are the moments directly from the podcast, both the monologues and the joking around and interviewing other comedians.Salon Full Review
The acrimony between the two men [Marc Maron and his father] doesn't register as funny or entertaining. Louis C.K. has shown us, on "Louie," what sort of deeper meaning can be mined in such deep contempt, but on Maron it just feels ugly and dull.Washington Post Full Review

Hai folks
i have a small report generated at the bottom of a page.it has pagination numbers. all these ajax generated.now the pagination numbers have the following code.
echo "" . $i . "" . " ";
notice that for hreaf i have put #.
now my problem is, when click a pagination number, the page is scrolled to the top of the page.so each time when click a pagination number at the bottom, user have to scroll down to see the report's next page.
screen shot of the report :
I don't have a lot of experience with inline event handlers, but I believe this is an easy fix. Two main solutions:
Do either of those help?
Doing the first option is a definate no-no, because the "javascript:" part is only an unused label (it does not specify that you're using javascript) and it won't mean anything when scripting is not available.
Go with the second option, which ensures that when clicking on the link, the browsers default behaviour doesn't not occur.
all i can say is ur a genius paul !!!
echo "" . $i . "" . " ";
both method worked charm. i stick with the above method as per ur advise.
Thank you!
Sure thing.
Use just "javascript:" as the href property and you'll find that the same lack of behaviour occurs. It has nothing to do with void at all.Void just leads to confusion because people have no idea of what is happening, or why. Here's some info too about void, a bad part or javascript.
It's better to use techniques that make it easier to understand what is going on. Returning false from the onclick event serves that purpose nicely.The other reason to use the return false from the onclick event is that it allows you to cleanly separate the scripting from the content.

• fedora •
Pronunciation: fê-dor-ê • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: A men's felt or velvet hat with a wrap-around brim, usually creased either lengthwise or around the edge.
Notes: Men seldom wear hats anymore and, when they do, in the US they wear baseball caps, positioned forward or backward on their heads. However, if you watch movies from the 20s, 30s, and 40s you have seen thousands of fedoras. Occasionally, a fedora bobs up even today, but they were the only kind of hat men wore back then.
In Play: If a man wore a fedora back in the 40s, he would not stand out. Today is a different story: "Harley Davidson wanted to be noticed at the party, so he donned his father's old fedora before leaving." All the old fictional detectives wore fedoras: Sam Spade, Dick Tracy, Philip Marlowe—all wore fedoras.
Word History: Today's Good Word came from "Fédora", a popular play by Victorien Sardou (1831-1908) that opened in 1882. The heroine, a Russian princess named Fédora Romanoff, was played by Sarah Bernhardt, a very popular actress at the time. In this role, Bernhardt wore a center-creased, soft-brimmed hat. Women's-rights activists quickly adopted the fashion, then passed it on to men. The word itself is the Russian feminine correlate of Fëdor, as in Fëdor Dostoevsky. It is the Russian variant of Greek Theodoros, which English borrowed as Theodore. In Greek the word means "gift of god", from theos "god" + doron "gift". (Today's Good Word is a gift of Jackie Strauss, who tells me her husband wears a fedora even today.)

How To Decorate an Office With Jessica Alba
While many hostesses spend their party prep time making sure every seating area is just so, the best cocktail party chatter happens right at the bar—especially when it's stylish and comfortable. We turned to designer Kelly Wearstler, known for her exuberant and glamorous style, to show us how to set up a home bar that guests will flock to. "It should look festive and appetizing," she says.
Wearstler stands at her Beverly Hills bar, cleared to a clean slate save for the Brass Kaleidoscope and Serpent Bar Stools from her collection. She wears her own Perforated Cuff bracelet; hair by Leland Ferrell, make-up by Kristee Liu.

Before you start, make sure you're pulling in tabletop and bar accessories from different sets. "A mix of materials, like horn, brass, and ceramics, helps it look curated and rich, like you're using a fun group of things you've collected over the years," Wearstler says.

Public Hearing on Community Development Authority Ordinance Scheduled for Sept. 8
Aug. 6, 2008
News Highlights
- Ordinance would permit county board to consider petitions for community development authorities (CDAs).
- CDAs are a funding mechanism to assist developments through special taxes or special assessments.
- Response to changing development climate.
More Information
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing at 4:30 p.m. during its regular meeting on Monday, Sept. 8, on the adoption of an ordinance to permit the county to consider petitions for the creation of community development authorities (CDAs). The public hearing will be held in the Board Auditorium, Fairfax County Government Center, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax. Information on public hearings and how to register to speak is available online.
A CDA is a flexible tool that can address a broad range of infrastructure needs, as well as services, and can cover varied areas such as a single shopping mall, a mixed-use development or a downtown redevelopment area. A petition to the Board of Supervisors to establish a CDA must come from a majority (51 percent) of landowners within a proposed area; the CDA is then governed by board appointees. Either land area or assessed value can be used to determine the 51 percent. A CDA can be funded through special taxes or special assessments negotiated with the owners of property within the district.
Petitions for a CDA will be evaluated against "16 Principles for Public Investment in Support of Commercial Redevelopment," which were adopted by the Board of Supervisors on July 21 to advance revitalization and reinvestment opportunities within the county. The board will hold a public hearing on any petition submitted to establish a CDA.
The 16 principles were developed by Fairfax County in collaboration with the Community Revitalization and Reinvestment Advisory Group. The advisory group was established by the Board of Supervisors in March 2007; its membership includes community, business and county government representatives. The principles respond to the county's changing development climate. By 2030, Fairfax County is projected to add 245,000 jobs and 290,000 new residents.
The 16 principles are available online.

PHILADELPHIA - A near-landmark victory over Virginia ended in heartbreaking defeat on Monday at The Palestra, but the Quakers (0-2) must rebound quickly with a tough road game at West Point set for Sunday. Tip off against Army (2-1) is at the newly-renovated Christl Arena at 1 p.m.
Catching the Game
Video and live stats will be available on GoArmySports.com. A complete recap and box score can then be found at PennAthletics.com shortly after the conclusion of each game.
In the Series vs. Army
After an 11-year hiatus, these two programs have now met in each of the previous two seasons. They split those two encounters as the Quakers claimed victory, 70-60, at The Palestra last year and Army won at Christl Area in 2010, 53-44. Overall, Penn has won three of five meetings between these programs. Two of Penn's three wins over Army have come at home, while the Quakers are just 1-2 in West Point, N.Y.
Reaching 1,000
Junior Alyssa Baron is just 21 points from reaching 1,000 for her career. Only 18 Penn women have accomplished the feat and only three have reached that milestone prior to their senior season. Baron is a two-time Ivy League scoring champion. Last year, she edged Princeton's Niveen Rasheed by two points for the 2011-12 Ivy League scoring title. Baron became the first freshman in the history of the league to lead the league in scoring in 2010-11. She had 474 points last season for an average of 16.9 per game. In the 2010-11 season, she finished with 454 points for an average of 16.8 per game. The last Ivy player to win back-to-back scoring titles was Princeton's Meagan Cowher in 2006-07 and 2007-08. Baron would be the first Penn player to reach the 1,000-point threshold since Carrie Biemer did so in 2008.
Against the Patriot League
The Quakers have won their last three against Patriot League competition and will look to get to .500 all-time against the league under head coach Mike McLaughlin. Entering the game, the Quakers are 3-4 against Patriot League opponents under Coach McLaughlin, including 1-1 against Army.
Against the ACC
The Quakers were just a few minutes away from their first-ever win over an ACC opponent on Monday night. But the three-point loss moved the Red and Blue to 0-10 all-time against the powerhouse conference. In addition to the 0-4 mark against Virginia, Penn has losses to Duke and Wake Forest, and two losses apiece to Georgia Tech and Maryland. All but two of those games have been on the road. Georgia Tech is the only other ACC team to visit The Palestra. In another tight game, the Yellowjackets won, 67-59, on Dec. 19, 1982.
Penn Trends
Penn has won six of their last eight non-conference home games ... Junior guard Alyssa Baron has led the team in scoring and rebounding in each of the first two games ... Baron has started 58 consecutive games for the Quakers ... The Quakers are 0-2 for the first time since 2009-10 ... Meghan McCullough and Baron have played in 58 straight games together dating back to the 2010-11 season opener.
A Penn Win Would...
... be the fourth all-time against Army.
... be the first in West Point since a 73-61 win on Jan. 26, 1999.
... be the fourth consecutive over a Patriot League opponent.
... bring them to .500 against the Patriot League under McLaughlin.
... be the first of the 2012-13 season.
... snap a six-game losing streak to non-conference opponents.
A Penn Loss Would...
... mark the first 0-3 start since 2009-10.
... mark the fourth straight dating back to 2011-12.
... be less good than a win.
Turning It Around
Penn was 2-26 just three seasons ago. However, last season ... The Quakers registered the best 10-game start in team history (7-3) ... Penn opened 5-0 at home for the first time since 2003-04 ... The Quakers set a program record with three overtime victories ... The Quakers won seven games before the month of January for the first time in the program's 42-year history ... Penn's seven non-conference wins rank tied for fourth-most all-time in school history ... Penn went through a stretch of 13 games without losing back-to-back games — the longest streak since 2003-04 (19 games) ... The Quakers won seven of nine games for the first time in seven years (2004-05) ... The Quakers swept an Ivy League road weekend for the first time in five years ... Penn posted back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time since 2003-04 and 2004-05.
2012 Team Captains
Seniors Brianna Bradford and Katie Davis and junior Alyssa Baron were named the 2012-13 tri-captains for Penn on Oct. 3. Bradford played in 27 of 28 games last year, averaging 10.6 minutes per game. After her sophomore year she was named Penn's Co-Most Intangible Player. Davis saw action in nine games last season. Following a career-high 17 games played her sophomore year, she was named the team's Most Dedicated Player. Baron led the Ivies in scoring her first two years as a Quaker and was the first-ever freshman to win the honor—she was also named Ivy League and Big 5 Rookie of the Year. She is a two-time All-Ivy recipient, a six-time Ivy Player of the Week and a three-time Big 5 Player of the Week.

Charge for a Cure!
For the third straight year the women's basketball team is dedicating its entire season to the fight against several diseases and the team needs your help. In its first two years, 109 donors have joined the "Charge for a Cure" program which helped the team raise nearly $7,000. Each month of the season will be devoted to help a specific disease with personal ties to the program—The Michael J. Fox Foundation, Go4theGoal, the American Cancer Society, The Dave Bryan Ride on Fund, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of America. At the end of each month, the coaches will total the number of offensive charges the Quakers have taken as a team and fans can pledge a donation per charge. This month the Quakers will be taking charges for the Michael J. Fox Foundation, but the team is turning to its fans to lend a hand in its efforts. Here is how you can help!

Last Time Out - L, 68-65 vs. Virginia
An ACC opponent rarely comes to The Palestra. We found out why on Monday. Penn came agonizingly close to an upset of Virginia, 68-65.The Quakers were up 63-62 with 2:27 to play when Virginia scored to go on top by one. Just 18 seconds later, junior Alyssa Baron hit jumper to put Penn back up a point. But 10 seconds after that, the Cavaliers dropped in another to change the lead again. Virginia finally came up with a stop and then scored to go ahead, 68-65, with 36 seconds remaining. The Quakers forced a jump ball and regained possession with 9.7 seconds left. Kathleen Roche had a shot to tie the game, but under tight pressure, it was off the mark as time expired. Penn led by as many as 15, 33-18, on a rebound and put-back from Roche and the Quakers held a 12-point edge at intermission, 35-23. They maintained that edge until finally the Cavaliers broke through with a game-tying three with 6:23 to go, 54-54, and sparked the wild ending.
Up Next
The Quakers have some time off for the upcoming holiday. Its 12 days before they take the court against La Salle. But that sparks a busy stretch of four games in 10 days. Its the first of back-to-back home games. Tip off against the Explorers is a 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 30. Then on Monday, Dec. 3, the Red and Blue host Bucknell for the first time since 2000. That will also tip at 7 p.m. Then its a pair of games in New York City, the first against St. Francis (N.Y.) on Dec. 5 and the next against LIU on Dec. 9.

The latest bid to overturn the controversial allowance increases for Wiltshire councillors failed this today, after it was resoundingly rejected in a heated meeting.
Independent councillor Jeff Osborn had called for the decision to approve allowance rises for councillors to be scrapped, but 60 councillors voted in favour of keeping the rises, with 24 supporting his motion.
Six councillors abstained from voting in the meeting, which went on for over two hours.
In November an independent panel recommended increases of one per cent for all councillors, and 22 per cent for cabinet members.
As leader of the Conservative group and chair of the health and wellbeing committee, council Leader Jane Scott was in line for a 36 per cent increase, which she confirmed last month she would be returning.
But at the meeting she spoke strongly in favour of keeping the rise for other members.
She said: "I did make this decision after a long night of soul-searching. It was being personalised to me, and this council was suffering seriously.
"However I will not vote to rescind that decision, that decision is correct for this council.
"It was a decision made by this council democratically, with good, strong evidence from an independent panel.
"Many councillors have never taken allowances, and that is their personal decision."
Liberal Democrat leader Jon Hubbard abstained in the final vote, but spoke in defence of the increase.
He said: "I am a net beneficiary from this increase in salaries because I am chair of two committees of this council.
"I work on average somewhere between 50 and 55 hours per week. I am in council three days a week from 8.30am to 6.30am, and I spend weekends out in my ward with my constituents. All this I do as a councillor and I do it with pleasure.
"Today we have seen some councillors having their day who care more about headlines than hard work. Now that's over can the rest of us get on with doing the real work at council."
After the meeting, Coun Osborn said: "We will fight on, I and others will be meeting over the next few days to decide our next move.
"If Jane Scott thinks she has won the day she should watch this space."

Crowds packed into Keighley's Church Green on Sunday for the switching on of the town's Christmas lights.
Hundreds of people turned out for the ceremony, with many there to see the star of the show – X Factor finalist Kye Sones.
Girls screamed as the singer took to the stage about half-an-hour before the switch-on ceremony to perform several songs.
His repertoire included the last song he performed on the hit ITV show before he was eliminated.
"I love it here," Kye told the audience, which was greeted with cheers.
He rejoined Pulse roadshow guest comperes Paul Foster and Debbie Lindley on stage at 4pm, with several others, including Santa and the town mayor and mayoress, Councillor George Metcalf and his wife Nanette, to press the plunger that illuminated the lights.
Coun Metcalf told the crowd: "In such a multi-cultural town, it's very important we all enjoy this festive season together. Let's everybody have a fantastic time."
The switch-on was the highlight of a day of free activities and entertainment across the town centre to mark the start of Keighley's countdown to Christmas.
At the Church Green stage area, performers during the day included the Tom Gee Band, Sister Act Showgirls, Almost Adele and Just Jessie J.
The Airedale Shopping Centre was home to stilt walkers, balloon modelling and a walking Christmas pudding, while the Worth Valley Young Farmers launched their new animated DVD – entitled 'Why local food matters' – and manned produce stalls. Shops were open as usual.
Tribute duo Ab Fab, formation shopping trolley dancers Granny Turismos and Santa's Flagship could be seen in the centre and at other locations, including Cavendish Street and the Royal Arcade in Low Street.
Many of Cavendish Street's independent stores opened their doors and Inc. used its shop window as a performance area.
The Royal Arcade hosted its Christmas launch event, with bands and entertainers, close-up magic, face painting, balloon toys and traditional fare, such as roast chestnuts, old fashioned sweets and candyfloss.
Central Hall in Alice Street was the venue for a craft fair by Lavender Fields. There were also visiting musicians throughout the day and a magic show. Café Central provided festive food.
Local musicians appeared across the town and magician Toby Davies performed on the streets and on stage at various venues.
Ab Fab launched Keighley's Celebrity Christmas Gift Hunt at noon, setting off from Church Green and making their unsteady way around the route of the trail, calling in at shops and other venues to see what was on offer and solving clues.
The gift hunt will run until Christmas Eve, with entry forms available from shops, cafes, the library, town hall and bus station. The winner will receive a prize – worth more than £300 – including a food hamper, toys, family cinema and museum passes and discount vouchers.
Also on the streets was Keighley Town Council's 1892 horse-drawn Black Maria, visiting venues and promoting the police museum.
Keighley town centre manager, Philip Smith, said the day had been a huge success, and he thanked everyone who had contributed.
He added: "The switch-on was a great event and it was a pleasure to see so many smiling faces. It was just the thing to start people's festive season."
The event also marked the beginning of late-night shopping. The Airedale Shopping Centre will be open until 8pm Thursdays and from 10.30am to 4.30pm Sundays in the run-up to Christmas, with the market and other businesses also opening late.

The recent hate-fest between some of the internet's typing heads and those darn, pesky St. Louis Cardinals (who apparently just win too darn much, darn it) rages on.
First there was Deadspin's Drew Magary and his passionate, yet eloquent dictum entitled: Why Your Cardinals Suck. Gosh, I don't know why, but from the title I really thought the Redbirds were going to get a fair shake there. That had to be the most shocking part. Which I guess was the point.
In fact, upon reading Magary's post, I was so shocked that I curled up in the fetal position in my bedroom closet and cried for two hours. But then I got hungry, made myself a sandwich and somehow found the will to go on. It probably helped that the Cardinals' playoff game was about to start.
Anyway, The Emperor was no doubt pleased, as the hate continued to flow. Buzzfeed comprised a list of 23 Reasons It's Perfectly OK To Despise The St. Louis Cardinals.
And one of them wasn't Cardinal Nation's inexplicable devotion to DJ Casper (Everybody Clap Your Hands)? What about the general overuse of the phrase "Cardinal Nation" to describe the team's loyal following? Come on man. At least do your research.
All of a sudden, the Cardinals are the new New York Yankees? The new Evil Empire?
Last time I checked, I don't remember the Cardinals using small market teams like Kansas City, Pittsburgh and others as de facto minor league affiliates. Feel bad for the Pirates now? Just wait until the Yankees and Red Sox get their hands on some of that sweet, sweet Pirate free agent candy.
Then came last week's NL MVP vote, the individual ballots of which were made public for the second year in a row. (As opposed to years past, when the ballots were hermetically sealed in a jar, strapped inside a NASA space probe and shot into the sun to destroy the evidence- kind of like how Superman got rid of all the nuclear weapons in Quest for Peace.)
This time, it was accusations of favoritism that went flying. Over the weekend, Bill Baer of HardballTalk charged the Post-Dispatch's Derrick Goold and Rick Hummel with being "homers" because they were the only two writers to cast a first place vote for Yadier Molina instead of Andrew McCutchen. Deadspin once again joined the party, and even included a fancy chart to make their case.
It's really difficult to argue with a fancy chart, especially one that bright and colorful. But take a gander at Pittsburgh Post-Gazette writer Bill Brink's ballot, and you might notice something interesting.
Brink has Molina ninth in the NL MVP race, behind Carlos Gomez, behind Joey Votto, behind Shin Soo Choo. He's even behind his own teammate, Matt Carpenter.
But wait, there's more. McCutchen hails from Fort Meade, FL. He signed to play baseball for the Florida Gators before being drafted by the Pirates. So it's curious that the two writers representing the Marlins, Juan C. Rodriguez and Clark Spencer, voted Molina ninth and tenth, respectively.
At least Goold and Hummel gave McCutchen second and third place votes – not ninth or tenth.
This was an obvious attempt to limit Molina to as few total voting points as possible. Apparently the home team (Pittsburgh) and hometown (Florida) writers were worried the MVP race would be a little closer than it turned out – understandable given that the Cardinals a) won the Central, b) had the best record in the National League, and c) Molina was the club's unquestionable MVP.
Leaving Molina off the ballot entirely would have been only slightly less ridiculous than voting him ninth and tenth behind lesser players from lesser teams. No other writer had Molina lower than fifth. This is not to say that McCutchen was not deserving. Both men were.
Nice try, nouveau Cardinal haters, but if there was any homering going on in this MVP vote, it was in Pittsburgh and Miami, not St. Louis.

Zotac's Ion Rev 2: Wake on USB Fixedby Anand Lal Shimpi on 7/27/2009 1:00 PM EST

madmachinist - Sunday, August 30, 2009 - linkHas anyone tested a mini PCIe SSD in the mini PCIe slot? The reason I ask is that I have a runcore SATA mini PCIe SSD Leftover from an EEE PC that I sold. I really am hoping that the mobo would recognize the SSD correctly and be able to boot from it. Reply
lemon8h8ead - Thursday, August 20, 2009 - linkYeah, my Zotac ION Rev 1 does not wakeup on USB. Funny thing though it wakes up when I type a key on my PS2 keyboard. And to think that I nearly through it out! (: Reply
lec - Thursday, August 13, 2009 - linkDid anyone found this new version of the board in Europe ? So far, all the shops I have contacted either don't know, or are still selling the first version.....
I guess I should wait that all suppliers get out of stock before they get the new version from the manufacturer ;-) Reply
ProDigit - Saturday, August 08, 2009 - linkOk,so we need to get our lazy asses off the couch, and actually press the power knob;
"Oh no! Please; not the power knob!!"
I mean, by no means the first version is that bad, and only for a small percentage will mean something.
Even as a HTPC, the box might be about as close to reach as a remote control or keyboard for many... Reply
shumba - Friday, August 07, 2009 - linkIf anyone reading this has successfully purchased a rev2 board, could you please let us know where you bought it. Thanks! Reply
Visual - Friday, July 31, 2009 - linkwith the 785G out now, why do they bother releasing new revisions using the 780G?
kitonne - Wednesday, August 05, 2009 - linkBecause 780G has IDE, serial and parallel ports (Asus M3A78-EM for example, see manual for the parallel and serial headers) and 785G does not? And there are people who do not feel like replacing their UPS (serial connection), label printer (serial connection) or old HP laserjet (parallel port) or buying additional USB to serial and USB to parallel adapters just to help the economy roll along? Not to mention that potential buyers may have a couple of CD/DVD readers with IDE interfaces ready to be reused, and that 780G motherboards are cheaper, fully debugged by now, and work very well for DVD playback via HDMI....
I have used a 780G based board with a pair of monitors (1920x1200 and 1600x1200) and it worked quite well, including TV viewing via external TV tuner (standard NTSC) and DVD playback / avi file playback.
I can see a micro 785G in a home theater w blue ray (although 780G seems to be OK in that role as well), because of its better video, but from what I have seen so far the better video does not compensate for the missing peripherals, specially at a higher price point. Reply
MichaelD - Thursday, July 30, 2009 - linkI almost pulled the trigger on one of these two days ago but didn't do it for some strange reason...glad I didn't. This problem is not a minor one, IMO. Shame that the fix requires an entire new PCB and couldn't just be fixed with a BIOS update.
People have been waiting for these boards for months. Now that they're finally getting into retailers hands, they all have this bug. It'll take more months just to get "the bad boards" stock moved so you can get a Rev2. Oh well. No HTPC for another few months, I guess. Reply
sbrown23 - Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - linkHave there been any comparison tests on Atom platforms to see if Atom can handle Silverlight HD video better than Flash? It would be interesting to see ... Reply
Zelog - Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - linkWonder how much work is involved in pulling some wires yourself, and if Zotac would consider giving us a little guide, voiding warranty, naturally :) Reply
Mr Perfect - Monday, July 27, 2009 - linkCan you see about getting more mITX boards in the future? Asus and Gigabyte are busy making "small" uATX boards, and everyone else seems to be sticking with full ATX. Reply
CSMR - Wednesday, July 29, 2009 - linkI'm sure you'll see lots more mini-itx with the next generation (Intel moving to 32nm, integrating graphics and CPU). Check SPCR for some more good reviews of the current generation.
I'd guess the market will split like this:
ITX: mainstream, integrated CPU-GPU; low-end, atoms
Micro-ATX: gamers & graphics professionals with discrete gpu, specialist systems needing full PCI/PCI express cards
ATX: extreme gamers with dual gpu
Subject to some inertia. Reply
icrf - Monday, July 27, 2009 - linkDid the non-Atom Zotac mini-ITX boards have the same wake on USB problem? I think I'd rather play it safe and have a ULV C2D in there. Reply
xcanner - Monday, July 27, 2009 - linkCorrect the first version of Zotac GeForce 9300-ITX Wifi, did not support wake on usb.
However the third version of the motherboard supports it.
Quote from another forum:
Dear Customer
The GF9300 latest PCB version (03), with support for USB WakeUp (S3) and Dual Link DVI, is not yet shipped out. Therefore all the boards on the market are not yet containing these new hardware features.
It is also true that the BIOS for the GF9300 move slightly ahead of the hardware, such that the existing BIOS (2K090602) is already added with the codes for "Dual Link DVI". We do tested this BIOS (put to the older PCB which do not support Dual Link), but not found any issue so far.
The problem described here sounds new to me. I will check factory if there is such issue in this combination (new BIOS with Dual Link DVI support + old hardware without Dual Link DVI support).
Will come back to you on this
Kindest regards,

Anand Lal Shimpi - Monday, July 27, 2009 - linkAsk and you shall receive :)
Zotac is working on a revision to its 9300-ITX motherboard (non-Atom) and should have it fixed sometime in the future. I'll keep you guys posted.
Take care,
Anand Reply
icrf - Monday, July 27, 2009 - linkThanks for looking into it. The lack of HD flash video support on the Atom has made me rethink how great one of these boards would be for an HTPC. There's a ton of free streaming HD content out there. Reply
Zok - Monday, July 27, 2009 - linkCorrect me if I am wrong, but wouldn't it be possible to workaround the issue on the old revision by using a powered USB hub? Just in case you get an old board I suppose... Reply

A YOUNG herring gull must be kept isolated from other birds after cruel yobs attacked it with spray paint.
The gull was taken in by Whitby Wildlife Sanctuary, after she was found on Thursday covered in thick red paint.
The young bird, who rescuers have named Poppy due to her new colour, is only a few months old and faces a couple of flightless years while waiting for the damaged feathers to fall out.
Alexandra Farmer, 25, who runs the sanctuary, said Poppy will not be able to live among the other gulls because she will be the victim of bullying.
She said: "She will be staying here at the sanctuary for a couple of years.
"She won't be able to fly now because the paint has made the feathers rock hard and stiff. She keeps looking at her feet because they are so red but there is not a way to wash it off.
"It will take a couple of years for the paint to come off in the moult.
There is no way to cut the feathers for them to grow back so you would have to pull them all out which I am not going to do.
"I already have a gull pen with about 30 other rescue gulls but she is likely to be bullied.
"I'm going to build a new pen just for her because the gulls will know that something is wrong and they will pick up on that."
Alexandra explained that the sanctuary had received calls earlier in the week from concerned members of the public who had spotted Poppy, so they put an appeal out on the lookout for the injured gull before she was found alone on an industrial estate.
Alexandra added that Poppy will now need lots of care to be nurtured back to health.
She said: "She is only a baby and so she is unable to fly at the moment which means she is fairly easy to get hold of. It looks like the paint that is used on the road. I think two people must have painted her because they have lifted her wings to paint underneath. One person would have held her and the other would have painted.
"She's going to need a lot of TLC. The paint is very fumy and I've had to keep her in a well aerated room. She smelt terrible when she was found and that amount of fumes would make breathing quite difficult.
"They have painted her face and so I am taking her to the vet to make sure she didn't breathe too much of it in."

Golden Tips Bungalow
A flush is when the tea bush produces leaf and 'golden tips' are the finest leaves and buds plucked during the superior second flush that result in the rich and malty liquor of orthodox tea. Our Golden Tips, called after this precious brew, is the name we've given to the original Group Accountant's bungalow.
This 2,000-plus square meter compound is accessed by a long driveway concealed from the house and garden by a bamboo hedge at the end of which a footpath strikes off to the right leading up to Golden Tips. The huge garden has a large front lawn dominated by an imposing flame tree. The bungalow's screened verandah opens into a cozy lounge beyond which is the dining room, both of which are decorated with oriental silk wall hangings creating a Chinese flavour. It has its own utility room and kitchen that lead out onto the back garden.
With two twin-bedded rooms equipped with air-conditioning, ceiling fans and heaters each with its own en suite bathroom fitted with bathtubs and showers, this cozy bungalow, set in a large and pretty English-style garden, exudes the comfort and warmth of 'home'.

Xconomy: How Will the $1,000 Genome Change Society? Mohr Davidow Partner Sue Siegel Speaks
When complete human genomes can be sequenced for $1,000 or less, how will this change society? Will all newborns in wealthy countries get sequenced automatically as part of their permanent medical record? Will society start discriminating against people based on their genetic makeup, like the "Gattaca" nightmare scenario?
Bioethicists have been discussing these questions for a long time, but my personal sense is that it's a debate society at large hasn't really tuned into yet, but will be forced onto the agenda in the next couple years if scientists really are enabled to sequence 1 million human genomes. That's why I'm really looking forward to a fascinating closing keynote chat about these issues at our next event in San Francisco—"Computing in the Age of the $1,000 Genome." Read more>>>>

My L.A.: Jill Lincoln
Since appearing in The Devil Wears Prada as the impossibly chic French editor Jacqueline Follet, and about to hit the silver screen in Iron Man 3 (due out May 3, 2013) as Ellen Brandt, Stephanie Szostak has been one of fashion's favorite chic celebrities. While Paris might be her native land (she has the Parisian cool thing down pat!), it's New York that has stolen her heart—whether she is spending time on the Upper West Side near her home or getting lost in Brooklyn.
What parts of NYC have you lived in?
I've lived in Kips Bay, the East Village, Chelsea, and now on the Upper West Side.
Where do you typically shop?
I love to stumble into random boutiques on the Lower East Side.
What's your first memory of NYC?
Watching Marathon Man at home in France. Dustin Hoffman running and running around the reservoir [in Central Park].
What are your favorite restaurants and cafés in NYC?
Some of my favorite neighborhood restaurants are The Leopard at Café des Artistes [pictured above] and Sushi of Gari. The most decadent meal I've ever had was at Bouley. Chef Bouley was in the kitchen that night and my husband and I ordered the chef's tasting menu—an unforgettable feast! For cafés, I love Café Gitane and Mémé's. Oh, and I'm a big fan of Grand Daisy Bakery on 72nd Street, their Olive Bread is amazing!

Paper Shredders Destroy Documents to Protect Company Information
Keep shredders at your office so employees can shred documents before disposal, ensuring that company and client information doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
Shredders make it easy for employees to destroy documents quickly, making them unreadable and safeguarding important information. If your office needs to shred large amounts of documents frequently, go with a heavy-duty shredder designed to handle multiple pages at once without jamming or stalling. We offer shredders at every security level, so you can find one that's right for your office. If your company needs to destroy other items, such as CDs and credit cards, look for a shredder than also destroys media.
Shred Documents for Security
Protect private information about your company and its clients by having your employees shred documents before throwing them away. It's worth the peace of mind knowing that even if someone goes through your company's trash, it's impossible to learn anything from the jumbled pieces of paperwork. Expect clients to be impressed with your company's security measures.
Choose From Cross, Super Cross, Micro-Cut and Strip Shredders
Strip-cut shredders, also known as P-2 shredders, cut paper into strips for basic protection. Cross-cut and super cross-cut shredders, also known as P-3 or P-4 shredders, use cross cuts to cut paper into small, unreadable pieces. Micro-cut shredders, also known as either P-5 or P-7 shredders, make the smallest cuts, and P-7 shredders are so effective that the government uses them to destroy top-secret documents. Since we sell shredders of every type, you can choose one appropriate for the type of information your company handles.
Here at Quill, we sell a huge variety of printers, shredders and other machines for the office, and we know how important it is to find high-quality products that you can rely on. We're all busier than ever, and wasting precious time on a malfunctioning machine is enough to ruin anyone's workday schedule. Our selection of paper shredders and accessories has been chosen to make your life easier. A heavy-duty paper shredding machine is your best bet for avoiding jams and stalls without having to painstakingly hand-feed each individual page through the machine one at a time.
Even as we move further and further into the digital world, no home or office can afford to be without a quality shredder. Paper is still a big part of our lives, whether we like it or not, and safeguarding privacy is just as important offline as it is in the cloud. Identity theft remains a real threat, and keeping fraud at bay requires diligence. We rely on complex encryption to protect our sensitive information online, but when it comes to disposing of old-fashioned documents, paper shredders can't be topped.
Whether you're working in a doctor's or lawyer's office and need to be compliant with privacy regulations, or you're just at home cleaning out your old bank statements, make sure your shredder is up to the job. What level of security do you need? There are four basic levels of shredder security. P-2, or strip-cut, shredders are fine for basic security. Cross-cut shredders are known as P-3 or P-4, depending on the size of the pieces. They reduce documents to unreadable confetti. Micro-cut shredders are the safest option available to most offices. Known as P-5 shredders, they obliterate personal information in one fell swoop. P7 shredders provide the very highest level of security and are government-approved for the disposal of classified and top-secret documents.

Inflated Property Market Targeted by NZ First
Inflated Property Market Targeted by NZ First
New Zealand First says news that foreign nationals are buying real estate to fast-track their visa applications makes it imperative for measures to be introduced to stop the practice and make housing more affordable for New Zealanders.
Emerging evidence also shows that the Auckland property boom, which is forcing Kiwis out of the market, is being fed by Hong Kong and Chinese investors, and Australian retirement funds buying investment properties.
Rt Hon Winston Peters says new policy is being developed to place restrictions on non-residents/non-citizens entering the New Zealand domestic housing market to fast track their visa applications.
"A lack of Government action has created a situation whereby rich people from big foreign economies are pumping up New Zealand property prices, making them too expensive from many Kiwis to afford.
"This must be stopped so first home buyers can enter a housing market which represents the domestic economy, not that of countries such as China, Hong Kong, and Australia."
Mr Peters says the Government doesn't even hold a register of domestic property owned by non-residents/non-citizens.
"That extent of the problem can't be exactly quantified but it is likely to be huge.
"It isn't helped by the Government's failure to have a published long-term immigration strategy.
"This failure is acknowledged in correspondence from Immigration Minister Nathan Guy who also admits that immigration flows are likely to 'bring challenges of social cohesion'.
"A prime example of a lack of social cohesion is Auckland's property market which is being inflated by foreign nationals as part of their visa application process," says Mr Peters.

An angry busload of passengers got off at Hampton Station at 8:09 this morning. The bus was a minute or two late. The train was a minute early. As the bus was pulling in, the Red Line train pulled away.
A rider from the bus saw the press pass dangling from my backpack and said: "We can complain. You can write about it."
So here it is.
The bus from the Red Bird Transit Station to Hampton Station runs up Hampton Road and unloads all passengers to take the Red Line to downtown and points north. Some students take the train just one stop to Tyler Station and then walk to school.
The point is that everyone on the 7:55 bus from Red Bird is connecting with the 8:12 train to Parker Road.

Favorite Nook: Blue and beautiful boy's room
What she had to say about it: My favorite nook is in a corner my son's nursery where our old wooden rocker sits. The rocker was what my own mom rocked me in as a baby. And this is one of the most-frequented spots in our house since Henry was born in May. It's where I feed him, rock him, and watch him play. It's also where my husband and I relax and unwind at the end of the day with our son.
While I love the nook on its own, I especially love the view from my perch on the wooden rocker. I can see the entire nursery that we labored over for months preparing for Henry's arrival. It's a really happy space, filled with bright colors and happy patterns and special projects. It's probably a bit busy for some, but I love all the elements and it truly makes me smile every day. I love to see the fabrics and the artwork and the toys and the books.
It also is a happy reminder of all we have to be thankful for. Sometimes I feel like pinching myself.

Samardzija fires two-hitter for first career shutout
Starter allows pair of singles, fans eight; feat first for Cubs since 2011
CHICAGO -- Jeff Samardzija used to go to White Sox games as a kid growing up in Valparaiso, Ind. On Monday, he felt right at home on the South Side.
Samardzija threw a career-best two-hitter for his first shutout to lead the Cubs to a 7-0 victory over the White Sox. Julio Borbon smacked his first home run, and Anthony Rizzo hit a double and a triple and drove in two runs to back the right-hander, who collected his second complete game.
"That's as dominant as you can be," Rizzo said of Samardzija. "He wasn't trying to punch everyone out, he was just trying to throw strikes. That's all you can ask of him."
Samardzija struck out eight and gave up a leadoff single to Conor Gillaspie in the third and a two-out single to Alexei Ramirez in the ninth. That was it. He's the first Cubs pitcher to throw a shutout since Randy Wells did so against the Giants on Aug. 29, 2011.
"I love this place," Samardzija said about pitching on the South Side. "I loved coming to watch games here as a kid. I loved watching these guys play here, so to come here, and have my whole family here, 30 minutes from home, from my backyard, it's fun. I love being here, I love the atmosphere. I love these games against the White Sox, they're always fun. Unfortunately, they cut [the series] down to four -- this is what baseball is all about, these rivalry games. It's just fun, this is what you play for."
He seems to have a knack for big games. Samardzija's other complete game came in his last start last year, when he knew he was being shut down. He won his first Opening Day start this year.
"Sometimes you can lull me to sleep with other games that aren't that important, and that's something I need to get better at, too," Samardzija said. "You approach every game like it's a playoff game, and I think I'm learning that and getting better."
This is only his second full season as a starter, and it was easily his best performance.
"That's a big-time pitcher, that's No. 1, that's a No. 1 knowing that our bullpen has been abused the last few days -- knowing, 'I've got to go deep in the game to finish it to give the bullpen a rest,'" Cubs manager Dale Sveum said.
It helped being at home for a road game.
"There's just a comfort level when you can sleep in your own bed and drive 15 minutes to the park and come play," Samardzija said. "You've got the smell of the steel mills in the background. It's not the most beautiful scent in the world, but it smells like home.
"I love competing against that team, they're a great group of guys who play hard, and I admire them a lot -- it was just fun."
His complete game also was necessary. The Cubs needed Samardzija to go deep to give the bullpen a break. He delivered and credited his teammates.
"You've got to give kudos to our offense there to allow me to relax and make my pitches," Samardzija said.
The right-hander has made an adjustment with his hands and feels he can now get on top of the ball better and drive it downhill, which has improved his fastball command.
"He was on tonight," Gillaspie said. "He threw every single pitch for a strike, it seemed like. His fastball moves all over the place."
Samardzija threw 108 pitches. He was efficient, and he was effective.
"That kind of stuff, 97 [mph] from the first pitch to the last pitch, whatever he threw, you're not going to see that too often in the big leagues," Sveum said.
There have been times when Samardzija thinks too much, Sveum said.
"He's a big-time power guy," Sveum said. "You saw his split-finger tonight, and that's pretty much an unhittable pitch when he's ... throwing it like that. Not that he's not a pitcher, but sometimes he wants to be this pitcher who's pitching like Greg Maddux or something, and he's not that kind of pitcher."
This was the first of four Interleague games to be played between the intracity rivals in a new format in which the Cubs and White Sox will play two games at U.S. Cellular, then two at Wrigley Field.
"When these [city] series get closer and closer, you start talking about them and looking forward to that almost playoff-type atmosphere that you don't get on an everyday basis," Sveum said.
Monday also was the first of three straight games against left-handed starters, which has not been a good thing for the Cubs. They're now 5-10 against southpaw starters. One reason for the struggle is the low on-base percentage, but the Cubs changed their approach. They may be last in the National League in walks but got things started in the first, when Starlin Castro drew a one-out walk. He then stole second and scored on Alfonso Soriano's single off the left-field wall.
Ryan Sweeney walked with one out in the fifth, and one out later, Borbon launched the first pitch from Jose Quintana into the right-field seats for a 3-0 lead, his first homer since he connected off another lefty, the White Sox Mark Buehrle, on July 4, 2010, while with the Rangers.
Scott Hairston's sacrifice fly in the sixth made it 4-0. The Cubs had runners at first and second with one out in the seventh, when Castro singled to left. Outfielder Dayan Viciedo threw out Sweeney, who tried to score on the hit, and Rizzo followed with his triple off the center-field wall. Two runs scored, and Soriano hit an RBI single to make it 7-0. The Cubs did the little things, which they haven't done much this season.
"Just to put runs on the board and keep adding on, and two-out hits, it's nice for the entire team, the pitching staff, our coaches -- it was a nice, easy win," Rizzo said.

A RESTAURANT near North Petherton is celebrating its latest success . . . scooping a coveted Gold Taste of the West Award.
Clavelshay Barn Restaurant is "delighted" to have secured a three-star rating with the Sustainable Restaurant Association – the only restaurant to do so in Somerset.
Phil Verden, chef at Clavelshay Barn, said: "I'm delighted and particularly proud of the Taste of the West Award as it demonstrates our commitment to using the best local produce.
"We're lucky to live in a beautiful part of the country where we have fantastic growers and producers all around us."
"We buy organic, free-range chicken from Stream Farm, Broomfield, which is a couple of miles away, and all our vegetables are fresh and local.
"All dishes are made on site, as is our bread, baked daily, and even the water on the tables comes from the farm's spring.
"For a chef this is an exciting place to work."
Sue Milverton, who runs the restaurant on her family's farm, said: "Clavelshay Barn is a finalist in the Somerset Life Food and Drink Awards 2014, so we have our fingers crossed because these awards are a lovely pat on the back for our staff, suppliers and supporters."

It's quickly becoming one of the dominant market themes of 2013: private equity firms cashing out of their publicly-traded portfolio companies through secondary stock offerings.
You don't need a graduate degree in economics or an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School to figure out why. The Dow is trading at all-time highs – despite 7.7% unemployment and the ongoing sequester – and some of these firms have been holding onto these positions for seven years or more, so for many, it's cash-out time.
Our sister publication, Private Equity Analyst, recently reported secondary offerings by companies who count private equity firms among their backers had hit a record high, compared to similar periods for every prior year since 1999. As of Feb. 19, 41 companies sold a total of $17.2 billion in stock, more than triple the $5.1 billion raised by 22 companies for the same period last year.
The trend has only continued. Here's just a few of the companies that priced or announced financial sponsor-backed secondary offerings just this week:
Oil and gas industry parts supplier MRC Global, backed by Goldman Sachs Group through its private equity arm GS Capital Partners, said Monday its primary stockholders would sell 17 million shares of the company's common stock. The company has also granted a 30-day option for the primary stockholders to offer up to 2.55 million additional shares. Including the 30-day option, the secondary offering could be worth roughly $600 million.
Meanwhile Del Frisco's Restaurant Group., which is majority owned by Lone Star Funds, said it would pursue a secondary offering of 4.75 million shares, according to a news release. The upscale steak restaurant chain is also offering a 30-day option to sell an additional 712,000 shares based on market demand. The secondary offering could be worth roughly $93 million, based on the current price for Del Frisco's shares.
Payment card FleetCor Technologies said Wednesday its sponsors — Summit Partners and Bain Capital as well as the company's chief executive — plan to sell 4.5 million shares worth estimated to be worth more than $300 million.
Finally, the consortium of private equity investors that own a majority stake in KAR Auction Services priced Thursday a 13-million-share offering at $19.25 a share, worth roughly $250 million. The sellers of KAR Auction, which went public in 2009, include Kelso & Co., GS Capital Partners, ValueAct Capital and Parthenon Capital Partners.

New Balance Sweats Push to End U.S. Shoe Tariffs
Time may be running out for the last American-made running shoes.
New Balance Athletic Shoe Inc., owned by former marathoner Jim Davis and his wife Ann, is the sole athletic-shoe maker that still has factories in the U.S. Those plants churn out about a quarter of the shoes it sells domestically. The rest are imported.
The company has continued to make shoes in the U.S., even though that means settling for less profit. New...

Miller was transported to a local hospital with stab wounds to his upper body. Neal was transported to a local hospital with a stab wound to her arm.
Officers were able to interview both victims. Miller stated that he and Neal were inside the store and became involved in an argument with another customer. The argument continued outside the store and escalated into a fight in the parking lot. During the fight, the suspect retrieved a knife from his car and stabbed Miller. Neal stated that she jumped on the suspect's back after the suspect continued to stab Miller. The suspect stabbed Neal after she jumped on his back. The suspect then got inside the car and the car left the area.
The suspect is described as a black male, 25-35 years old, 5'9" tall, 150 pounds. He was wearing a gray jacket and black eye glasses.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Baltimore County Police at 410-307-2020.

The UK Treasury is, it is reported, considering the sale of parts of its student loan book. This provokes a big question: when should the UK government sell such an asset – given that it is both immortal and solvent?
The best answer has two parts. First, it must be believed that the asset would be better managed by the private sector. And, second, it must be believed that this superior private management can only be introduced by selling the assets – rather than introducing some type of private management contract. Read more

New ATI Products Confirmed: The X Series Line-upby Derek Wilson on 6/1/2004 6:00 AM EST

Pumpkinierre - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkMaybe 110nm is just on that limit where present technology allows the usual shrink/power reduction effect to be maintained without all the 90nm problems that really require a rethink to sort out. If that's the case it might be a good overclocker but could suffer from overvoltage or early death.
quanta - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkI wonder if anyone even cares about the 130nm X600 part, when they can just overclock 110nm X300 cards. But then again, die shrinks from 130nm to 90nm has given Intel a lot of trouble in the form of voltage leak and heat, I suspect X300 may not be able to run as fast as X600 without generate a lot more heat.

Nice explanation, have you used on processors too, like it would be amd 90nm athlon 64 die size?
This is much like digital camera 3mp to 5mp, it's almost the double but if you look at it, you would say it's only 30%/40% bigger. Or ati 160m transitors vs nvidia 222m. Ati is almost "big" but it has less 62m or a radeon 9600 less, funny isn't it? Reply
Cycophant - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkSmall spelling mistake on the article intro:
"Today, ATI fills out their new X series with three new PCI Express parts based on current __technolgoy__ that we are seeing. " Reply
spikemike - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkI don't believe blacks will look any blacker, you have to remember that the backlight is constant throughout the entire lcd. You can't control the brightness at a single pixel, so if you wanted to make blacks blacker then the whole screen would get darker, making the whites darker too, and in a very low darkness scene, you don't want to lose the black level resolution. Reply
vedin - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkDarn..and I was really hoping that the X600 would be a little faster in the core and memory than the 9600XT. Say..550mhz? Honestly, I was hoping for a scaled down X800..so much for wishful thinking. Reply
jcromano - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkI believe your claim that "a straight die shrink only accounts for about a 30% increase in space efficiency," found in paragraph 3 of the page titled "X300 Debuts at 110nm," may be in error.
I'm not really sure what "space efficiency" is, but you make this claim in contrast to ATI's claim of a 40% increase in transistors per given area.
Assuming that the number of transistors per unit area scales inversely with the square of the (linear) process size, we have:
transistor density = k/d^2
For the old 130nm process, then,
transistor density (old value) = k/130^2.
For the new 110nm process,
transistor density (new value) = k/110^2.
The generally accepted way of presenting a percent increase or decrease is to use the old value as the denominator of the fraction. A formula such as this one would be appropriate:
(new value/old value) - 1
where the result is re-expressed as a percent, and a positive result is interpreted as an increase.
If we plug in, using k/110^2 for the new value (numerator) and k/130^2 for the old value (denominator), and cancel the k's, we get
130^2/110^2 - 1 = .39669 = 39.669%, which is admittedly lower than the 40% claimed by ATI, but close enough for me. Reply
ducsauce - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkI wonder if ATI will put out an All-in-wonder version of the x800 some time this year. The AIW 9800 pro is not going to keep up for long. Reply

THE 100th annual Wiveliscombe Horticultural Society Show will be opened by a member of the family who started it over a century ago.
Bernadette Rowe (formerly Hancock) will recall the part the Hancock family played in getting the event off the ground when she does the honours.
The show in the sports hall at Kingsmead School opens at 2pm on Saturday, August 16.
But anyone wishing to take part will have to be quick as the deadline for entries is this Saturday (August 9).
There will be the usual fruit and veg exhibits, children's classes, and craft and photography sections.
The afternoon also features a classic car show, children's face painting, bouncy castle and the presence of the Devon and Somerset Fire Service.
Flower show committee member Angela Parker, said: "My favourite part of the show is looking at everything – I'm going to enter a couple of things myself in the cookery, and I always write a silly poem.
"The entries are obviously the biggest part of the show, and the classic car show is a real extra that we don't normally have.
"I know there are people who are still keen to get their entries in, and as ever, we'll be at the mercy of the weather! We won't know how it's all looking until the day."
Music will be provided by Wiveliscombe Town Band while there will be several stalls and a draw with a top prize of £100.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo baseball team opened the home portion of their 2012 schedule in impressive fashion as the Lions pounded out 16 hits and scored 15 runs en route to a 15-5 drubbing of #15 Florida Southern in non-conference action on Wednesday night from Thomas B. Southard Stadium.
"I thought it was a great start at home. We had a great crowd and the atmosphere was really neat to see and I think our guys fed off of that," Head Coach Russ McNickle said of his team's first outing in the friendly confines. "We're playing with some confidence right now; we had a good weekend in Valdosta and I know they were excited to play at home tonight in front of their fans."
Answering a Moccasin run in the first inning with one of their own, Saint Leo (4-0) scored in the first four frames to open a wide lead over its opponent from Lakeland, Fla. The game was highlighted by a seven-run fourth inning that saw sophomore catcher Daniel Torres launch a bases-loaded, three run double to break the contest open. Torres finished the night 3-for-4 with three RBI and three runs scored.
Not to be out-done, senior Anthony Santa connected on a two-on, two-out line drive in the bottom of the sixth that added to the Lions' impressive night. In total, the Saint Leo first baseman was 3-for-4 with two RBI.
On the mound, junior left-hander Rick Teasley (1-0) dominated Florida Southern (2-2), tossing six complete and only surrendering four hits and an earned run on 88 pitches. His FSC counterpart, Austin Jackson (0-1), only went three innings and allowed four runs as he faced 18 Lions.
Four Lions registered multiple hits in the game with junior Ryan Brnovich (2-for-4) and senior Dustin Brown (2-for-4) joining Torres and Santa.
It doesn't get any easier for the undefeated Lions as they return to the road and face Columbus State in a three-game weekend series in Georgia. The first game of a Saturday doubleheader is scheduled to get underway at 1 p.m. For the latest news, information, and updates on Lions' Baseball, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

Posted 13 January 2013 - 06:08 PM
Etsy, and other online craft sites demand a very high price from potters in that our shipping costs are buttock-clinchingly high. Sooo. Solutions. Create a line of work which can be mailed which is not sucking up those crazy mailing costs. It will be separate in the main from your usual suspects.
I have to acknowledge some of you do post on FaceBook etc. with your successes and well done to your arm! We're all terrifically envious and would you please have a think and post to this Forum some of the thoughts which drive you and your business? Much appreciated. I often see you on FaceBook but not on Potter's Council Forums.
Ways Forward: Have a very close look in your area and get involved with local Farmer's Market craft section. If you've a decent product and a good record of community involvement you might get yourself a weekly stall. Be careful what you wish for because it does get demanding during the run of the market season. Another strategy might be to volunteer to become a FM Board Member. Get your legs under the table. One way or t'other!
I really do apologize for not taking into consideration previous replies and horning in willy nilly to the conversation. But I do pride myself on a decent imagination. />
Always welcome your reply and continuation of this discussion online or off. You know how to contact me. I am also a Potter's Council Board Member.
Happy New Year. And as Simon Leach says: Keep on Practicing.

I sell on Etsy. People do find me, although I don't have much pottery on there. I also sell at my brick and mortar shop, mostly leaf plates, and ornaments and buttons. Easy stuff. I have more experienced potters with big, gorgeous stuff in my shop. I noticed on the first link from etsy, the woman has a ton of keywords in her title - that used to be frowned upon on eBay and some other sites I sold antiques on a few years ago. Keyword spamming - that's what it was called! It cheapens the listing, in my view.
As for doing shows, if I never have to do a show, it will be too soon. I did some antique shows, and what a nightmare! Pack the truck, set up booth, unpack, smile nicely watching people come in who yell, "just looking!" like I am going to take their wallet out of their purse after wrestling them to the floor, and charge, charge, charge! Or pretend to believe them when they say, "I'll be back." Ugh. The worst of people in one place. Never again!!! For me, shows are a fate worse than death.
I agree 100%. Shows are very long days or weekends, and God help you if the festival title is food oriented. You are exactly right, the "I'll be back" makes you want to throw something sometimes.
I have never ventured into internet sales, which is one reason this thred is very informative. A friend of mine who is a painter, years ago first mentioned Etsy to me and suggested I give it a try. Her follow up note is it takes a lot of work to constantly keep your stuff on the front pages. Having never done this type of thing, I would be interested in knowing exactly how she went about this.
