I have been watching him and notice he checks out other women and the reason I know he is checking them out is cos he doesn't even look twice at men. He always makes eye contact with women and looks them up and down. He doesn't look at men or unattractive women like this.
But when I ask him about it when we get home he seems to genuinely not know what I'm talking about. He was almost in tears when I accused him of it when we got home today and said he only ever looks at me. How can he possibly not know or remember what he did?
I don't know what to do about this does anyone have any advice?
Most Helpful Guy
Of course he looks at other women; we do it all the time. And you look at other men. It is a natural biological function driven by evolution. That doesn't mean that we will act on it.10|10|0
But everyone can see what he's doing. The girls look back and smile at him. While he's holding hands with me!
- Show AllShow Less
He is holding hands with you that's what matters. Women like men that attract women it is also something that people have evolved to do.
I don't see the "evolution" in that
Most Helpful Girl
Eyes will wander, but worry only about who he truly cares about.
His glances may not even be what you consider checking someone out. I am observant, so I look at everyone. He may be the same way. I wouldn't keep pushing the issue unless it hinders your relationship.00|00|0
But like I said he barely even looks at other men or unattractive women. So if it's just being "observant" then y does he only "observe" young women who aren't ugly.
It's only human to look at people.
You could interject and ask what he thinks about her outfit or hair style.

But I layed off because he wasn't very talkative which made me think he wasn't interested. We don't talk much now but I would like too and I'd like to meet up with him but how do I ask? I'm definitely sure he'll say no though ahhhh

HTC chief executive: "The worst has probably passed"

If I were Peter Chou, I'd be a little more confident about HTC's current situation and future in mobile technology. I would say that given HTC's latest lineup (pretty damn good phones overall) and steadily expanding influence on the market today, I'd say the worst HAS passed. None of this "probably" stuff, that doesn't make you sound very sure about what you and your company are doing with themselves.
As an HTC phone owner, I am happy with HTC's quality of products and I am confident that they will continue to regain some of that lost market share. I do agree their issues with carrier exclusivity are hurting them in the long run, but hopefully HTC can either use that to their benefit (somehow) or start putting certain models on multiple carriers; an easy way to expand revenue and popularity. Either way, they can work it out this year, all it takes is some good business decisions and some good phones.

I hope the worst has passed for them. Really looking forward to M7, if M7 is carrier locked again, then HTC will deserve to fall. Don't make the same mistakes HTC.

"Additionally, the company is trying to bring life to its marketing department, and the ended dispute with Apple over patents is also a positive thing"
Debatable. They did the equivalant of just handing the bully their lunch money every day with a big smile and a "thank you" instead of fighting for it.

Same here. And it disgusts me to see the senate and house members jumping all over it, demanding immediate action when they've taken little action to protect our borders. Why don't they go after the border issue with this kind of fast, emergency-like action. They make me sick. Both sides of the aisle are starting to make me sick.

Out went high-falutin' words like "nouveau," "au jus" and "reduction." Montreal foodies, their palates jaded by decades of haute cuisine, fairly tripped over themselves to find multiple ways of saying "artery-clogging," "heart attack on a plate" and "the ultimate hangover food."
"Out of this world" was a standard.
For 35 years behind the counter at Cosmo Snack Bar, on Montreal's Sherbrooke Street West, proprietor Tony Koulakis (no, his name wasn't Cosmo) served up all-day breakfasts that would cause palpitations in cardiologists. Eggs, bacon, glistening sausage and Tony's signature hash brown potatoes, in portions fit for a stevedore, were heaped onto plates that were often chipped – that is, if you could snag one of the 11 rickety vinyl-topped diner stools at the counter (some regulars preferred the ones plastered with duct tape). Tables? Only outside on the sidewalk, in the summer.
When smoking was still allowed in restaurants, four of the stools were designated "non-smoking." Bills would be randomly rounded up or down.
The very definition of the greasy spoon, the hole-in-the-wall eatery is a Montreal landmark where, on weekends especially, diners stand three-deep to tuck into: The "Creation" sandwich, an egg, salami, lettuce, tomato and cheese monstrosity (it used to contain sausage as well, until that was deemed overkill); the Good Morning Burger, a hamburger topped by a fried egg; and the ungodly MishMash omelette: bacon, four eggs, ham, sausage, salami, tomatoes, onions and cheese, all fried in margarine, with a side of hash browns (the concoction was once sent for chemical analysis and clocked in at a gut-busting 1,800 calories).
Nothing cost more than $10. And the place offered 15 types of bread. It was once estimated that Mr. Koulakis went through 25 loaves of rye, kimmel and black Russian bread a day, and fried 20 dozen eggs and 25 pounds of bacon every day, too.
From 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., every day but Monday, the mustachioed, baseball-capped Tony laughed, cooked, kibbitzed and faux-hollered. And smoked. Quebec's politics and hockey were always on the menu. Out of milk? No problem – just send a diner across the street to the grocery. When orders were placed, he would call out, "nice breakfast, Niki!" Which worked, because the person holding the spatula was often either his daughter, Niki, or his son, Nikos, standing maybe a metre away. Or both.
He had another son, Johnny, who'd also worked in the restaurant years ago.
On June 23, the 40-year-old Johnny Koulakis was charged with second-degree murder in connection with the stabbing death the night before of his father, who was 76 years old.
According to The Gazette of Montreal, neighbours described the suspect as disturbed and confrontational. One neighbour said he had been threatened by Johnny Koulakis.
Bouquets still adorn Cosmo's darkened stoop. Regulars have expressed shock and sadness. The old man deserved a better fate, they say. No one seems to know when the place will reopen.
He was a Montreal original, approaching a legend. "Sometimes known as Captain Cholesterol or the Lord of the Potatoes, he had an endearing gruffness about him, but he was unfailingly upbeat and charming in his own inimitable fashion," The Gazette's Bill Brownstein wrote, in the last of a dozen articles on Mr. Koulakis.
An "institution to garbagemen and bank presidents alike" (and a hang-out for media types), Cosmo was "your basic down-home no-frills, no-ferns eatery that is geared entirely to your gut," Mr. Brownstein wrote in 1990. "There is no room for clients with airs. Truth is, there is precious little air circulating around the griddle where Tony Koulakis presides."
People would come just for the hash browns. "I am the god from the potatoes!" Tony would blurt out over the sizzle of the grill in his trademark rasp if a compliment came his way. Asked what made the spuds so tasty, Dustin Gilman, who blogs at Food Guy Montreal, paused, chuckled and said, "cigarette ash." (It was a standard joke, apparently.)
There was no secret. His late wife, Erene, peeled 150 pounds of fresh potatoes (fresh was key) every day. Tony boiled them, chopped in fresh onions and fried them. "That's the secret," he told a reporter.
Sure, people knew Tony's grub wasn't exactly health food, Mr. Gilman conceded. But folks thronged there for a simple reason: "It made you happy."
Other reviewers were similarly kind, and some others less so. "The staff behind the counter handle money and your food at the same time," one carped. "So that kind of grossed me out."
Friends and regulars knew little of Tony's personal life. He was born in Crete and came to Canada in 1954, marrying his wife three years later. He didn't finish school and opened Cosmo in 1967 when he was already 40 years old.
Mr. Koulakis was the subject of an award-winning documentary released in 2000, Man of Grease, by Montreal filmmaker Ezra Soiferman (it was he who sent the MishMash out for lab tests). A funny, loving, poignant portrait that has enjoyed wide festival and television exposure, it showed a different, more human side of Mr. Koulakis, as in his apprehension about taking his first vacation in decades.
"He was a little nervous about leaving the restaurant in the hands of his kids," Mr. Soiferman recalled. "He was nervous about flying. He was nervous that they just had a big earthquake in Greece the week before. He joked that his wife would divorce him if he didn't go."
But once he arrived on his first vacation in decades, "he was a different man." One scene in the film shows him floating serenely in the aqua Aegean Sea.
Another regular once encountered Mr. Koulakis angry, for real. It was just after Tony had received notice from Quebec language inspectors that the English words on the sign out front, "Delicious breakfasts," had to go.
"He wanted to know why they came after small businesses and after those who were only trying to feed their families," said Terry DiMonte, an announcer at Montreal's CHOM-FM radio station. "We had a nice long conversation about governments and how intrusive they can be. It clearly angered him. He said to me, 'And I come from the place where democracy was born.'"
Even so, Mr. Koulakis dutifully climbed a ladder and painted over the offending words. "You gotta respect the law," he said in the film.
Meantime, neighbourhood homeless people, or those just down and out, were often treated to free meals, or were told to come back later. At the end of each day, leftovers were handed out, given to food banks or dumped on the forest floor near his cottage for the animals. "He used to say to me it was a sin to throw away food," Mr. DiMonte said.
Tony retired around 2002 and his wife died almost exactly a decade ago from cancer. He would pop by the restaurant unannounced to see how Niki and Nikos were doing. The place was usually full.
Customers routinely told Tony he'd clean up if he would simply expand beyond the closet-sized eatery.
"Big deal," he would reply, as The Gazette recounted. "Money isn't everything. Maybe I'd do better business if the place had more tables and counter space, but then Cosmo would lose its special touch.
"I like to give good, fresh stuff," he would growl, often a propos of nothing. "That's why the people love me so much."
Editor's note: An earlier version of this obituary incorrectly stated Mr. Koulakis age.

I am looking to upgrade our shopping basket system. We are currently using JShop Pro which is about 8-10 years old I think which is a JavaScript basket. There are a few problems with the basket - the main problem is if you visit the basket page and then leave the website and then revisit the basket a few days later then the basket prices appear as "undefined" making it impossible for customers to buy.
So I would like to design a new "JavaScript" basket. I do not mind using some PHP but the product pages must be .htm files (using JavaScript). I do not mind if the basket page itself is PHP but as I say I want the product pages to use JavaScript to add products to the basket.
I look forward to your suggestions as to a new basket system.
I've not used it personally, but this popped up on Hacker news the other day: http://minicartjs.com/Maybe it is of some use?

Coppell eyes Kitson return
By Lewis Rutledge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Reading boss Steve Coppell is hoping to have Dave Kitson back by Christmas.
Reading boss Steve Coppell has revealed that Dave Kitson is not likely to return to action until the end of the year.
Kitson has been out since the opening day of the season after suffering a knee injury in the win over Middlesbrough.
He began training again last week but picked up a hamstring injury and now faces another month on the sidelines.
And Coppell admits that Kitson's distraught reaction to the setback left everyone at the club worried about him.
"We were going to send someone round to his house last weekend on suicide watch because he was massively, massively depressed after the event," he said.
"We are looking at Christmas at the earliest. The rehabilitation process is so dull but he's got to go through it again.
"He's earning a lot of money to rehabilitate so it won't affect him."

Not any more than any other season.
John Keats described Autumn as being a "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness" which is a great sentiment. For some reason, however, this Autumn I have had leather on the mind. I have been closely rotation my favorites--Knize Ten, Knize Ten Golden Edition, Cuiron, Elsha Russian Leather, Habit Rouge and Cuir Pleine Fleur. It just seems to strike the right note. Any others out there wearing leather this fall?
Not any more than any other season.
MPG Parfum D'Habit.
Yes, leather works very well with the cold and the dampness. In my list, there's also Rien and Bandit (and more occasionally Onda).
Once in a while Peau d'Espagne-SMN This is rough leather and should be applied sparingly.
I do not suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.
Edgar Allan Poe
I agree and find myself using leather, woody and incense fragrances a lot during the autumn.
Currently I am enjoying PG Cuir d'Iris, MPG Parfum d'Habit, Serge Lutens Boxeuse and Cuir Mauresque, Hermes Bel Ami among others.

Informational Interactions and the Future of Cities
Present-day city growth is chiefly the result of new tertiary activities such as financial and producer services, R&D, or business administration. It seems that these activities need to be more spatially concentrated than traditional manufacturing activities. These new trends affect both the structure of cities and the structure of city systems. The specific nature of the new activities concentrated in city centers makes them information intensive. These activities consume human capital, knowledge and high-tech capital, which are all rapidly changing inputs; they are based on complex decision-making processes; this renders them highly information-dependent. Inasmuch as these activities are the main key to understanding the city, information must play a leading role in understanding urban forms and urban growth. In the framework of Economic Geography, we propose to focus on a number of features showing that information and telecommunications technology not only are compatible with contemporary city systems, but also help explain the formation of these city systems. We then examine the ways in which cities and city systems are affected by information. The following points can be made: (1) Simply treating information as a special case of non-market interaction fails to account for the current pattern of urban growth and new forms of city systems. (2) The permanence and growth of cities crucially depends on the permanence and increase of face-to-face contacts. (3) The complementarity of face-to-face exchanges and telecommunications can explain agglomeration in cities. (4) The existence of costs of entry and scale economies in telecommunication networks can reinforce the polarization in cities as nodes in telecommunication networks.

According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com, the Kansas City Chiefs are no longer interested in signing cornerback Sean Smith, since they just signed Dunta Robinson last night.
Robinson is believed to be getting starter money from the Chiefs. With Brandon Flower doing the same, paying Smith top-of-market money no longer makes sense.
The Chiefs are taking a slight risk by going with Robinson. He didn't perform up to expectations after signing with the Falcons in free agency a couple of years ago.

It's a good mount. Although it was pretty difficult to find a spot on my bike, a Harley Davidson Road Glide, for the bar to be connected. Too far up and the kickstand won't clear. Too far back and the transmission is in the way for the mount to grab the frame.
I had a problem getting the bike onto the trailer with the bar attached also. I bottomed out each time. Either I had to ride the bike up on the trailer, then attach the bar and then ride into the trailer hitch. But I decided to buy an extended ramp so I wouldn't bottom out. No, the bike isn't lowered, it's stock height.
Side note - I have a trailer with the steel mesh flooring. Thought I could mount the Biker Bar mount to a cross frame. Very slick installation if I do say myself. But when the location options for where on my bike it could be placed, this great idea was shot out of the sky. I had to line the trailer with 1x6 boards. Then I could place the mount anywhere on the trailer.

Bit the bullet bought it from KT best price. If you read the instructions all will be good. I have a 01 Road king, works fine, It took me a while to figure out(a smoke) how to manually raise kick stand with the bar on, as mentioned in instructions. Reach down and lift it over the bar. Also with floor boards it's a little difficult to unlock with feet,(as in video) I squat down and open lock and hop on a roll out. I did reinforce floor.(peace of mine) I have not used yet, but I have faith in this product. Built strong, good bite in floor, solid mount to bike not going anywhere. Buy it form here best price I found. Quick ship also

Gartner has drawn up a list of technologies and trends with the potential for significant impact on the enterprise in the next three years. Factors that denote significant impact include a high potential for disruption to IT or the business, the need for a major dollar investment, or the risk of being late to adopt.
"We have identified the top 10 technologies that companies should factor into their strategic planning processes," said Gartner VP David Cearley. "This does not necessarily mean adoption and investment in all of the listed technologies, but companies should look to make deliberate decisions about them during the next two years," added Cearley.
According to Gartner, the top 10 strategic technology trends for 2014 include:
1. Mobile device diversity and managementThe unexpected consequence of bring your own device (BYOD) programs is a doubling or even tripling of the size of the mobile workforce. Enterprise policies on employee-owned hardware usageneed to be thoroughly reviewed and, where necessary, updated and extended.
2. Mobile apps and applications
3. The Internet of Everything
The internet is expanding beyond PCs and mobile devices into enterprise assets such as field equipment, and consumer items such as cars and televisions. The problem is that most enterprises and technology vendors have yet to explore the possibilities of an expanded internet and are not operationally or organizationally ready.
4. Hybrid cloud and IT as service broker
Bringing together personal clouds and external private cloud services is an imperative. Enterprises should design private cloud services with a hybrid future in mind and make sure future integration/interoperability is possible.
5. Cloud/client architecture
The increasingly complex demands of mobile users will drive apps to demand increasing amounts of server-side computing and storage capacity.
6. The era of personal cloud
This will mark a power shift away from devices toward services. The specifics of devices will become less important for the organization to worry about, although the devices will still be necessary.
7. Software defined anything (SDx) SDx is a collective term that encapsulates the growing market momentum for improved standards for infrastructure programmability and data center interoperability driven by automation inherent to cloud computing, DevOps and fast infrastructure provisioning.
8. Web-scale IT
Web-scale IT is a pattern of global-class computing that delivers the capabilities of large cloud service providers – like Amazon, Google and Facebook — within an enterprise IT setting by rethinking positions across several dimensions.
9. Smart machines
Through 2020, the smart machine era will blossom with a proliferation of contextually aware, intelligent personal assistants, smart advisors (such as IBM Watson), advanced global industrial systems and public availability of early examples of autonomous vehicles.
10. 3-D printing
Worldwide shipments of 3D printers are expected to grow 75 percent in 2014 followed by a near doubling of unit shipments in 2015.

Remember to do it peacefully, break the chain, and make the world a better place.

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has, for the third time, petitioned the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice , Abubakar Malami (SAN), asking him to prosecute all indicted persons in the June 21, 2014 Ekiti State governorship election rigging scandal.
The party stated this in a petition entitled ''Request for the prosecution of persons involved in conspiring and perpetrating acts of electoral fraud and malfeasance in the governorship election of June 21, 2014 in a manner other than that envisaged by the relevant provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended.''
The party said the review of the matter had become imperative in national interest, to avoid a cycle of politicians that could seize the reins of government through treason.
According to the petition by the State Chairman of the APC, Olajide Awe, the party said its present petition arose from the recent confession by a former Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ekiti State, Dr Tope Aluko, on wide-range underhand dealings in the governorship poll.
The party referred to the earlier two petitions dated February 13, 2015 and November 23, 2015 on the same subject matter.
Governor Ayodele Fayose of the PDP had defeated the then incumbent governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, in the 16 local government areas of the state, to emerge the winner of the election.
It said by the latest confession by one of the principal participants in the election heist, "we are compelled to write this reminder to draw your attention to the urgent need to address the matter to ensure justice in what has turned a blight on the nation's practice of democracy through treasonable actions that denied the votes of Ekiti people."
The party listed alleged infractions to the letter of the extant provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
According to Awe, the infractions include unusual militarisation before, during and after the election that created fears and heightened the level of insecurity of the electorate throughout Ekiti State.
The party demanded a comprehensive investigation of all events and actions that precipitated the alleged electoral fraud and prosecution of all alleged and culpable culprits, both individuals and institutions, including INEC, in the election fraud saga.
The APC chairman added that in the spirit of the change agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari and in view of the new anti-corruption crusade that frowned on allowing criminals to enjoy the fruits of their crimes, the matter must be addressed in a manner that would not allow criminals to go away with their crimes.
But the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Idowu Adelusi, said the petition was a futile exercise because the AGF had no such power to review the election.
"The issue concerning June 21, 2014 governorship election is a concluded matter which can never be revisited. The issue raised by Awe is an election matter conducted under stipulated time under the law because it is time bound.
"All parties have exhausted their rights at the tribunal, appeal court and Supreme Court under the law," he said.
Meanwhile, Aluko has asked a Chief Magistrate's Court in Ado Ekiti to vacate the warrant of arrest it issued against him.
Chief Magistrate Adesoji Adegboye had, on February 3, ordered the state Commissioner of Police, Etop James, to arrest and prosecute Aluko for alleged perjury.
He granted the order following a motion ex parte moved by the state Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr. Gbenga Adaramola.
Aluko had, in confessional statements made to the media, revealed how the PDP rigged the June 21, 2014 governorship election for Fayose.
He also claimed that former President Goodluck Jonathan gave Fayose N4.7bn cash to prosecute the election.
Addressing newsmen on Wednesday, principal counsel for Aluko, Niran Owoseeni and Wale Abimbola, described the warrant of arrest as a serious judicial error that needed to be reversed to preserve the integrity of the judiciary.
Owoseni said it was rather curious that the court could go ahead and issue the warrant when there was no valid and existing charge against Aluko.
According to him, the court must have been misled into making the order.
In the motion on notice brought pursuant to sections 77(iii) and 299 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Ekiti State, 2014, Section 7 of Magistrate Court Law of Ekiti State, 2014 and under the inherent jurisdiction of the court, Aluko sought an order vacating and or setting aside the arrest warrant.
Stating the grounds for seeking the orders, the applicant's counsel, Owoseni, contended that the court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the motion ex parte because it was defective and incompetent.
"That the application is an abuse of court process and that there is no prima facie case of perjury against him before the court to warrant the order sought and erroneously granted," he added.
In a 12-paragraph affidavit filed in support, Ayo Daramola, a lawyer, averred that unless the honourable court set aside and or vacated the order, the claimant was prepared to execute the warrant of arrest against (Aluko) by all means possible.
"That unless the honourable court vacates/sets aside the order made in favour of the claimant, the liberty of the Defendant/Respondent will be further threatened as he now lives as a fugitive in his fatherland,'' he said.

Yes, I have several copies of those 9,000 words besides the txt file I cut and pasted them into. Including a printed copy I printed with self-publisher Lulu.com (Useful for single copies of a book.) I also back up my writing folder to a DVD+r every so often. Just in case.

It's not all the time that you find yourself in need of a replacement A/C Compressor to repair your car or truck. You bought your 780 because its sporty handling and European styling struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to superior quality auto parts? Car aficionados know that a reliable name is built into each Volvo, and know that only top quality replacement 780 parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class compared to all the other vehicles currently being driven today.
Ever since the 1950s, cars and trucks have been built with either standard or optional climate control systems. On your Volvo 780, the main component of this system is the A/C compressor. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the Volvo 780 A/C compressor, as the name would suggest, compresses this refrigerant into a dense liquid. After that it goes to an expansion valve that turns it into a gas so it can flow through the evaporator. That cools it so it can emit cold air. Without the A/C compressor, your vents would only blow air that was the same as the ambient temperature of the environment.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you select the correct Volvo 780 part for your project or repair. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Given all the trouble that can be involved with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. When it comes to Volvo 780 A/C Compressor parts, you can find them for 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

100th Ethanol Fueling Station Unveiled in Wisconsin
Corn-based fuel celebrated as alternative fuel at Kwik Trip store.
JOHNSON CREEK, Wis. -- Motorists with E85-compatible vehicles lined up 20 cars deep at Kwik Trip pumps Monday afternoon as state officials provided
visitors to the station with information on the corn-based fuel while monitoring a fuel-giveaway campaign.
The two-hour educational event coincides with "Clean Air Month," the 100th anniversary of the American Lung Association, and the creation of the 100th E85 fueling station in the state. The first 100 Flex Fuel Vehicle owners who purchased 10 gallons or more of E85 as part of the six events received a $20 fuel card toward their next fill up. Within minutes of the event kicking off more that 17 cars were in line, reported the Watertown Daily Times.
Johnson Creek Kwik Trip Store Manager Kelly Agritz aided drivers in the fueling process, and presenting them with gift cards and T-shirts for their purchase of E85.
"We didn't know what to expect today in terms of turnout," Agritz told the paper. "We are very happy with the way things are going."
Among those on hand were representatives of the Wisconsin Corn Growers Association, Alice In Dairyland Jill Makovec, and Director of the Wisconsin Office of Energy Independence Judy Ziewacz, who noted that E85 was 86 cents less expensive than conventional gasoline.
"This all has a positive effect on consumers' pocketbooks and the state's economy," she told the paper. "This means we are moving closer to clean air and reduced emissions, and it is a step toward getting off of fossil fuel."
Kwik Trip district leader in Wisconsin, Jeff Witon, told the paper that Kwik Trip is committed to providing E85 at all its new and remodeled stores statewide. "We're based in La Crosse, in a farming area, so this just makes sense to us," Witon told the paper.

LCD TV Sales to Slow, But Tech Improving
The DisplaySearch reports conclude that LG Electronics appears to be sliding behind Sony in terms of worldwide market share, although Sony maintained its top spot. The firm predicted weaker fourth-quarter sales overall in HDTVs; North American consumers are predicted to purchase the most LCD TVs, the firm said.
In total, over 53 million sets were sold worldwide during the third quarter of 2008, up 11 percent sequentially and 6 percent year over year, DisplaySearch found.
Overall, firms have said that LCD TV makers are buying their panels at or close to cost, making this fourth quarter the ideal time to find a steal on an HDTV. DisplaySearch did not comment on pricing trends, but said that LCD TV market share grew in every region except North America, where the market is flat with about an 80 percent penetration. Worldwide, the most popular screen size is 32 inches, which held a 36 percent share of all LCD TVs sold. Forty-inch LCDs also held steady at about 27 percent of the total.
Samsung sold 22.5 percent of the world's TVs, which included all of the available technologies, and not just LCD. Sony climbed about a percentage point to 13.3 percent, followed by LG at 10.9 percent. Panasonic and Sharp rounded out the top five.
Samsung also outsold its rivals in both LCD TVs and rear-projections sets, DisplaySearch found.
A separate DisplaySearch report provided a jumble of insights into the technology transitions within the LCD and notebook markets. For example, 120-Hz technology, which smooths the frame rate jitter found in LCD TVs, was found in about 16 percent of all TVs sold during the third quarter. The 120-Hz penetration was most common in sets measuring 40-inches on the diagonal and above, where 120-Hz penetration was 40 percent. In sets 32 inches and larger, that penetration drooped to 16 percent of all sets sold, or 22.8 million units. That, in turn, represented a 33 percent growth, year over year.
The other key improvement in notebook displays, LED backlighting, is not faring nearly as well. Although Dell has led the way through public commitments to LED-backlit notebooks, the penetration during the third quarter was just 5.4 percent. However, due to the commitments by Dell and others, LED backlit-panels are expected to reach 12.2 percent during the fourth quarter and 25 percent in the first quarter of 2009.

Proper space planning is necessary for conducting a successful business meeting. Uncomfortable furniture layout can cause delays in presentations or serve as a distraction to meeting attendees. Plan your conference room layout to suit the size of the group and the activities scheduled to take place during the meeting. Use small tables that can rearranged to accommodate a variety of meeting needs.
Presenter Style
When you have a designated speaker or presenter for your meeting, you can arrange your tables in the shape of a "U" with the presenter stationed at a podium at the opening in the tables. The base of the "U" shape should be closest to the door where possible, so that early guests can fill in closest to the speaker, while late guests can file in to the seats nearest to the door without causing a disturbance. This layout allows the speaker to interact with guests and use the floor in the center of the room if he prefers to move about while speaking.
Breakout Meetings
At major conferences and key note addresses, speakers may direct guests to participate in topical breakout sessions. A breakout session consists of series of small groups discussing assigned topics together. If participants are seated at one table together, conversations may run together between groups, causing the noise level to rise unnecessarily as participants struggle to hear group members. Arrange tables scattered about the conference room so that guests can talk comfortably among themselves .
The classroom-style room conference room layout is suitable for note taking and for meetings requiring multiple handouts or use of tools such as laptop computers. In a classroom layout, rows of narrow conference tables with chairs face the front of a room. Each table provides writing space for each person.This is a comfortable arrangement for long sessions, as refreshments can be placed within reach of each attendee. This setup works best when minimal interaction between the presenter and audience is expected to take place, such as when participants are taking a test or studying reference material.

Youth & College Prevention Programs
Did you know that Nearly 70% of all reported sexual assaults occur to children ages 17 and under. 1 in 5 tweens knows a victim of dating violence. 1 in 10 teens (11-18 years old) said a romantic partner had prevented them from using a cell phone.
Every person can work to prevent sexual and dating violence by promoting healthy and positive relationships that are based on respect, safety, and equality. SAFE Homes-Rape Crisis Coalition (SHRCC) offers a variety of workshops and programs for children and teens to prevent dating violence and sexual abuse and assault.
The best way to protect young people from sexual violence is to offer primary violence prevention education. Primary prevention means that instead of focusing on risk reduction or getting help after an assault occurs, these programs identify factors and behaviors that can lead to violence and work to modify them before violence occurs. SHRCC programs comply with the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control, SC Department of Health and Environmental Control, the SC Comprehensive Health Education Act, and Erin's Law.
Here are some of the programs/curriculums we offer our youth:
- Youth Violence Prevention Program (YVPP) – For Middle & High School, College 101
- Six-session program on bystander intervention & prevent sexual violence
- Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) – For High School & College
- Bystander approach to gender violence & bullying prevention by Jackson Katz

In 1933 Nationalmuseum received a donation from Olof Aschberg, the banker, consisting of a collection of approximately 245 icons, which was supplemented almost 20 years later by the gift of about an additional thirty.
Today the collection comprises 325 icons, two of them Byzantine, around thirty from Greece and the Balkans and other, the majority in other words, are Russian. The oldest specimen dates from c. 1300. Helge Kjellin published a limited catalogue of the Aschberg donation in 1933 when it was handed over to the Nationalmuseum.
The current catalogue is the first to deal with the collection in its entirety.

Weight Loss
Weight loss is universally known benefit of green tea. It increases metabolism and the Polyphenal found in green tea works to intensify levels of fat oxidation and the rate at which your body turns food into calories.
Green tea is packed with flavonoid that is a powerful inflammation-fighter and increases insulin activity. This can prevent high insulin spikes and resulting fat storage.
Heart Disease
Eipgallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has the highest number of anti-oxidant properties with beneficial effects on the prevention of cardiovascular disease. It may also protect against the formation of clots, which are the primary cause of heart diseases.
Theanine is an amino acid naturally found in tealeaves. It is this substance that is thought to provide a relaxing and tranquilizing effect and be a great benefit to tea drinkers.
Anti-viral and Anti-bacterial
Tea catechins are strong antibacterial and antiviral agents that make them effective for treating everything from influenza to cancer. In some studies green tea has been shown to inhibit the spread of many diseases.
So what are you waiting for? Go grab a cup of green tea and enjoy its benefits.

Ex-Rite Aid C.E.O. Signs Plea Deal
NEW YORK - The former c.e.o. of No. 3 U.S. drug store chain Rite Aid Corp. signed a plea deal with prosecutors under which he will serve up to 10 years in prison, according to a Reuters report.
NEW YORK - The former c.e.o. of No. 3 U.S. drug store chain Rite Aid Corp. signed a plea deal with prosecutors under which he will serve up to 10 years in prison, according to a Reuters report.
Martin Grass, whose father founded the Camp Hill, Pa.-based drug chain, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud and conspiracy to obstruct justice. The deal came three weeks after U.S. District Judge Sylvia Rambo rejected an eight-year sentence as too lenient.
Rambo, of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg, said Grass, must also agree to pay $500,000 in fines and forfeit $3 million to the United States to ensure he "does not receive unjust enrichment" as a result of the plea.
Six former Rite Aid executives have faced criminal charges for inflating profits and reaping rich awards through executive compensation schemes during the late 1990s. The company had to restate profits of $1.6 billion in July 2000.
One of the former executives, ex-vice chairman Franklin Brown was convicted of making false statements to the Securities and Exchange Commission, obstructing justice, witness tampering and other crimes.
Brown, who also served as the retailer's chief counsel, faces a maximum of 65 years imprisonment and $2.5 million in fines on the 10 counts.
Prosecutors alleged that Grass and Brown sought to retain the loyalty of their co-conspirators by providing them with bogus severance letters. Grass allegedly signed the documents after he left Rite Aid in 1999, but they were back-dated on corporate letterhead to appear legitimate.
Among the misdeeds Grass has acknowledged are a failure to disclose to shareholders and to the SEC his ownership stake in a real estate company that used Rite Aid funds to purchase an 83-acre parcel of land for a new corporate headquarters.

Richard Childress Racing needs to elevate its program to attract the sport's top drivers
Richard Childress Racing had "informal discussions" with free agent Carl Edwards earlier this season.
Edwards, who has been in the Roush Fenway Racing stable since 2003, toured the Welcome, N.C.-based racing campus during Martinsville Speedway weekend in March.
We feel like it would have to be a guy that's the caliber of a Carl Edwards. He's an incredibly talented guy. He is a franchise-type driver.
RCR president Torrey Galida
With every NASCAR team attempting to keep up with the Joneses – or Hendrick Motorsports in the Sprint Cup garage – a driver such as Edwards could be a gamechanger for RCR.
"We – as a lot of teams did – had some informal discussions with Carl Edwards," said RCR president Torrey Galida on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. "And yeah, we feel like it would have to be a guy that's the caliber of a Carl Edwards. He's an incredibly talented guy. He is a franchise-type driver.
"And so, I think that's the kind of guy – whether it's Carl specifically – but that's the kind of driver that everybody out there is looking to add to their stable."
Carl Edwards, the last piece of the puzzle at RCR
With Hendrick Motorsports dominating the Cup landscape, teams that have availability on their roster would clamor for a driver of Edwards' status to compete against the HMS juggernaut. In 18 races, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson sit first, second and third, respectively, in the point standings and have scored one-third of the wins to date. Hendrick engines have powered cars to half of the victories this season.
If a team is not under the Hendrick banner or affiliated as a technical partner and/or an engine customer, it's all an outsider can do to maintain let alone outrace HMS.
Richard Childress Racing knows that challenge all too well. While RCR has access to most of the same resources through Chevrolet and a solid accompaniment of sponsorship, the Welcome, N.C.-based organization is still missing that last piece of the puzzle that differentiates a team from between being extremely competitive each week and actually winning races at the Cup level.
Team owner Richard Childress hopes that Galida can discover that missing piece. Last week, Childress appointed Galida, RCR's former COO, as president of the company. The move marks the first time since Childress opened his shop that someone other than himself held that role.
Galida, who will celebrate his third year anniversary with RCR on Friday, says the biggest challenge since joining forces with Childress is simply learning the organization and its culture. Given the changes the company endured after Kevin Harvick and Jeff Burton's departure last season and the addition of Ryan Newman and rookie Austin Dillon the transition is going quite smoothly.
If the Chase started now, all three teams with Newman, Paul Menard and Dillon, who are currently eighth, 10th and 13th in the point standings would qualify for play-offs. But the stark difference between the RCR squads and all but two of the other drivers in the top 14 is none of the Childress cars have made it to Victory Lane.
And that's the type of detail that a driver of Edwards' caliber will consider before making a move.
Certainly, other perennial contenders are missing in action as well. Matt Kenseth has yet to win in 2014 despite scoring a career-high seven victories last season. After a ninth-place finish at Daytona, Clint Bowyer has worked his way into the top 12 for the first time this season, but he's winless, too.
RCR the only team among the top organizations without a win in 2014
With the exception of Michael Waltrip Racing, which is in a rebuilding year, RCR is the only team among the top organizations without a win this season. But it's not due to a lack of effort.In addition to RCR's technical alliance with Furniture Row Racing, the company recruited additional partners with Germain Racing and JTG/Daugherty Racing and drivers Casey Mears and AJ Allmendinger coming aboard in the off-season.
Since Hendrick Motorsports has agreements with Stewart-Haas Racing, Ganassi Racing and HScott Motorsports, it draws from 11 teams. The best way to combat Hendrick's stranglehold is for RCR is to expand its existing roster to four teams and maximizing technical alliances. Galida says the latter has "been really helpful for us".
"It's allowed us to add more resources internally," Galida said. "We have a great relationship with all three of our technical partners and a really open flow of information. That's one of the things that Richard and Mike Dillon have insisted upon throughout this process since we started it with Furniture Row several years ago. It really has to be an open book. You can't try to segment and keep certain data from your partners. If it's going to work, it has to be all in.
"We've approached it with that philosophy and I think everybody is really happy with the way it's been going."
Yes, RCR has made tremendous gains. This season all three cars have been consistent – just not consistently up front. The three teammates have led a combined 58 laps together. If RCR can enlist the right driver – and sponsor – a fourth team would be the logical next move.
"Yes, ultimately, we want to get there," Galida added. "We're going to do it on a time table that makes sense for the company, but ultimately we would like to be a four car team again. We think from a competition perspective and a business perspective it makes the most sense to have a four car team but we're going to do it on our timeline."
Galida understands that it takes a strong competition department along solid corporate partners to "see the value in their investment" to maintain a successful racing operation.
Important for the sponsors to "understand the opportunities"
Considering the cyclical nature of the sport and the effect that it has had on RCR over the years, Galida and his group have done a miraculous job of building its sponsorship base to more than 40 partners. Galida, who still believes NASCAR is "very entertaining" and "a great marketing investment", feels it's important for the sponsors to "understand the opportunities".
"It's been a challenge for everybody especially with the downturn of the economy in 2008," Galida said. "I think the key to it is delivering value for your partners—seeing a ROI – have to prove that the sport is a valuable way to do that."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18, 2016 — The state of New Jersey is about to take over Atlantic City (AC) in an effort to keep the city financially solvent. Because of a collapse in tax revenue and because the Borgata Casino recently decided to withhold a $7.5 million tax payment, the city will run out of cash before the end of February.
The state says that in 2011, AC was given five years to improve its financial condition. In 2016, not only has the situation not improved, it has descended to crisis proportion. Declining tax revenue, resulting from a 70 percent drop in real estate values, has pushed the city budget tens of millions of dollars into the red. And the heavy debt burden has pushed the city's credit rating to junk bond status.
Making matters worse, the city continues to rely heavily on tax revenues from the casino industry, which continues to decline. While the recently purchased Showboat Casino Hotel and parts of the Revel Casino Hotel will likely re-open soon, it is difficult to determine whether those openings will increase the market or take business from existing casinos.
There have been broad discussions about moving Atlantic City forward. Most experts conclude that the city must reinvent itself as a tourist and resort destination that does not rely solely on casino gambling. Little, however, has been accomplished thus far.
When the state takes control, it will likely conclude that it is time to overhaul Atlantic City.
The first thing the state will do is to supply the money to make sure city bills and city employees are paid. Then it will reduce expenses as quickly as possible. The largest expenses for the city are personnel related. This includes the wages and salaries of workers and benefits and pensions.
Although there are contracts in place, the new law gives the state the right to void the contracts. The state will probably seek cost reductions in the 30 percent range through a combination of pay and benefit cuts and layoffs. The state may even consider switching to county-wide services.
A legal dispute could develop that might delay the state's plans. But any delay in the plan to reduce expenses quickly will likely result in a bankruptcy action, which, at this point, may be the city's best way forward. While bankruptcy conveys a negative perception that will damage the resort's image, it is a relatively quick way to turn things around and get the finances in order.
While the city's finances are in terrible condition, the root cause of the problem has been a lack of visionary leadership. However, deals were made, and the leadership always seemed focused on conveniently solving problems by providing short-term solutions rather than considering the long-term economic effects. Most of the city's problems can be traced to that lack of vision.
For the first 25 years of casino gambling in AC, tax revenue flowed, seemingly without limit, into the city's coffers. Patronage jobs were given out freely, often without regard for future budget implications. City employee costs ballooned with higher salaries, generous benefits and generous pensions adding relentlessly to the burden. A leader with vision would have kept these costs in check and would have made adjustments as early as 2007, when Atlantic City's decline began. But that never happened.
After stabilizing annual expenses, the state will examine the $400+ million of debt plus other obligations, such as the $160 million that is owed to Borgata and the tens of millions of dollars owed to other casinos because of tax overpayments. Assuming bankruptcy is avoided by the city, those debts will likely be settled by selling city assets such as the now-shuttered city airport, the Convention Center and the municipal water company.
The state takeover could last as long as five years. When the state leaves, the city's finances will be sound, although the city government may look much different. The state will hope that the next generation of leaders elected in Atlantic City will have enough vision to lead their overhauled city toward a more promising future.Click here for reuse options!
