text: While there were a few areas where the Core Duo T2400 had fallen to the Pentium M 750 in the single-threaded benchmarks, overall, Intel's Core Duo T2400 processor was a terrific performer, and we can only wait to share with what the Core 2 Duo will hold in store for computing performance. The Intel Core Duo T2400 was able to shine in all of the benchmarks where multi-tasking was taking place whether it be encoding during gaming or compiling while compressing files. In many of the CPU-centric benchmarks, there was a definitive advantage with the dual-core processor, while in some of the single-threaded benchmarks the Pentium M had managed to take a minimal lead. Of course, not all of the system hardware components were identical, so there was an increased standard deviation. With that, outside of the CPU performance, it was also interesting to see the Linux fglrx performance delta between the Mobility Radeon X300 and X1400. No power consumption or Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology comments to share today, as those and more will be saved for another day.

Long Beach police are investigating three separate attacks on gay men that have occurred over the past ten days.
Police Detective Jackie Bezart tells the Long Beach Press-Telegram ( http://bit.ly/nYnwO9 ) that 21-year-old Jorge Ibarrias has been charged with one count of felony battery and one count of a hate crime in a July 24 attack on Martin Sanchez.
The newspaper says Sanchez and a group of friends were walking when Ibarrias allegedly approached and asked if they were gay. When Sanchez replied that he was gay, he was punched in the face.
The other attacks on gay men took place on July 27 and July 31. The assailants in those attacks remain at large.
Police have stepped up patrols in the area where the incidents occurred.

Sources Say Al Qaeda Communication With Leaders Prompted Terror Warning [VIDEO]
An intelligence source has told Fox News that intercepted communications between the head of Al Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Usama bin Laden's successor, and the leader in the Arabian Peninsula, Nasir al-Wuhayshi, prompted the closure of 22 U.S. embassies and consulates.
The White House and State Department declined to give any specifics about the nature of the threat, and Press Secretary Jay Carney only said the threat potentially goes beyond the Arabian Peninsula. Officials with the CIA and Office of the Director of National Intelligence remained tight lipped as well/
Carney said, "Our information suggests they may focus efforts to conduct attacks in the period between now and the end of August."
Anthony Shaffer, with the Center for Advanced Defense Studies told Fox News, "This might just be Al Qaeda pushing our buttons to see how the U.S. responds. It's a test in my judgment, I think this is a trial balloon by Al Qaeda to see how we would react."
The U.S. government has closed 22 embassies and consulates, extending closure for 19 U.S. posts till the end of the week, and the worldwide travel alert will last till the end of August.

Family escapes major injuries, but loses pets in fire
A rural Red Wing family lost their home and three dogs in an early Saturday morning fire, the Goodhue County Sheriff's Office reported.
Goodhue Fire Department was dispatched to the home of Jeffrey and Holly Simonson, 20059 290th St., at about 5:10 a.m.
"The structure is a total loss," Goodhue Fire Chief Mike Kehran said. "We were hoping to save the house, but it was too far gone."
The couple and their 8-year-old son were already out of the house by the time crews arrived. A daughter was not home at the time, American Red Cross spokeswoman Joellen Barak said.
The family had been woken up by the smell of smoke and their dogs barking, Kehran said.
"They typically don't bark unless something is going on," Kehran said Jeffrey Simonson told him.
Because smoke was thick through the home's main floor, the family exited through a basement door. However, they were not able to get all of their dogs out of the home, Goodhue County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kris Weiss said.
"They'll definitely be remembered if they woke him up," Kehran said.
When crews arrived on scene, the garage was already engulfed and smoke was pouring out of the home's windows. The fire was spreading into the house as firefighters were setting up, Kehran said.
About 24 Goodhue firefighters were on scene until about 12:30 p.m. Zumbrota Fire Department and Red Wing Fire Department assisted with hauling water.
Temperatures in the 20s meant the fire crews had no weather-related issues fighting the blaze.
"There wasn't any trouble that way," Kehran said.
The family is staying with relatives, but the Red Cross is helping them with food and clothing, Barak said.
Jeffrey Simonson was able to get two vehicles out of the garage. In doing so, he suffered minor burns to his wrist and was treated on scene, Weiss said.
Kehran said the fire didn't spread into the home's basement, and the family should be able to salvage some possessions.

BILOXI, Mississippi — Huntsville Stars general manager Buck Rogers will assume the same role in Biloxi next year when the minor league baseball team relocates to the Gulf Coast to play in the Southern League.
Owner Ken Young introduced Rogers, 54, at a news conference Tuesday at the Biloxi Visitors Center. The Biloxi Baseball team is scheduled to begin play next April. Site preparation has begun for a new stadium to be built on U.S. 90 across the street from the Beau Rivage Casino and Resort.
Rogers, a Wisconsin native, has a reputation for over-the-top promotions, including a "Second Amendment Night" last July in which three firearms were to be raffled off. The promotion was cancelled "in the best interest of baseball" after receiving negative national attention. He is in his seventh season with the Stars.
His wife of 24 years, Babs, is from the Gulf Coast and works in the Stars front office.

From the moment Washoe County School Superintendent Heath Morrison met University of Nevada, Reno President Milt Glick, Morrison knew he had found a kindred spirit.
And it had nothing to do with Glick's headwear.
Or maybe it did.
"One of the first individuals I met when I became Washoe County School Superintendent was Milt Glick," Morrison told an audience of about 100 faculty, staff and administrators who gathered on Thursday afternoon in the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center to hear Morrison present his vision for northern Nevada's K-12 schools over the next five years.
"And the first thing I thought was, 'This guy has a cool hat,'" Morrison said with a smile, drawing a laugh from Glick and the audience, who know Glick is seldom seen without his trademark pull-string hat.
What Morrison saw in Glick in the summer of 2009, and continues to see today, he said, is a commitment to Nevada's future. It is a future predicated on something more than increased budgetary investment by the state of Nevada or increased participation and engagement by the people of Nevada.
"Let's talk about what we're going to save, not what it's going to cost," Morrison explained. He urged those in the room to remember that "we can't afford to be on the sidelines" and that the discussion of an educated populace and its place in Nevada "might very well be the most important conversation this state ever has."
Morrison, along with Pedro Martinez, Washoe County's deputy superintendent, moved briskly through an hour and half presentation and question-and-answer session that focused less on budget reductions – though the Washoe County School District has seen its budget decrease by $37 million – and more on what the future might hold for a school district that has decided it wants to be "great, not just good," Morrison said.
"What I was enticed by with the Silver State and Washoe County School District was a school district that wanted to do things differently, and not just for the sake of being different," Morrison said of his decision to leave the public school system in Montgomery County, Maryland, and come to Nevada.
He said that in addition to formulating a five-year strategic plan for his 94-school, 64,000-student school district (called "Envision Washoe County School District 2015 – Investing In Our Future" ), it was time for K-12 and its partners to realize what he called some "brutal facts."
One of them concerned graduation. For the past several years, he said, Washoe County School District had been stuck at a 55- or 56-percent graduation rate. He said as school superintendent, attending all the high school graduations and shaking each newly minted graduate's hand is one of the highlights of his year.
But the knowledge that only about half of the district's seniors were graduating made the experience bittersweet, he said.
"Graduation is a wonderful time until you realize there are a lot of kids whose hands you aren't shaking," he said. "If we don't intervene with passion, vigor and commitment, half the kids on every playground today (in elementary school) will never graduate."
He said that in Washoe County, "That sense of urgency was not hard to find." In the past year, by making graduation more accessible for more students with novel ideas such as offering for-credit courses before and after school and on weekends at high schools such as Reed High in Sparks, the school district has already seen its graduation rate improve to 63 percent.
Morrison noted that while 63 percent is promising, it still isn't "great." He pointed to several key numbers to illustrate why it is imperative that more students graduate:
Statewide, 50 percent of all high school seniors graduate;
220,000 out of the state's 440,000 students never reach graduation;
There is an estimated $5.2 billion loss in income associated with those students who never graduate;
Nevada ranks No. 1 in the country for high school dropouts;
According to the Wall Street Journal, Nevada ranks No. 49 in per-pupil expenditures for public education.
"The brutal fact for all Nevadans is that these are all numbers that we must all be dedicated to changing," Morrison said.
Morrison said one of the keys to the school district's attempt to revamp its success was something the university campus has also grappled with in recent months as state-mandated budget cuts have accumulated.
"Just like you," he said, "we had to figure out how to get better, and how to do more with less."
Through successful initiatives such as School Improvement Grants (a process where demonstrated need by Washoe County schools has yielded federal funding to help improve outcomes), Morrison said 80 percent of the district's schools improved in reading, and another 86 percent improved in math over the past year.
"And what I'm really proud of," Morrison added, "is that every school … every school … improved in some way."
Martinez said the gains have been tied to five-year targets developed by the district for each school.
"Every school has a clear definition of the targets, and of success," Martinez said, adding that "baseline targets have been added for non-academic areas, as well."
Morrison said he didn't want to be "presumptive" in the expectation that every Washoe School District graduate should automatically go on to college. He did say, however, that the K-12 partnership with higher education was an "integral" part of a more prosperous Nevada, and to illustrate the point, said he views education in Nevada as an all-inclusive, "K through 20" framework.
Chris Cheney, dean of the College of Education, echoed Morrison's sentiment.
"We form a cycle," she said, noting that the grade-school students of Nevada "grow up" to be the students at the state's universities, and that these many of these students "go on to become our teachers."
"The school district and the College of Education pull in tandem," Cheney said, noting the close collaboration that occurs on issues such as core curriculum standards, STEM areas (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), and graduate programs offered in her college, to name just a few.
"The school district and the university have always been bound by our students and our professional relationships," she said.
Morrison said the value of good people, placed in the proper positions where success is attainable, has also helped fuel the district's efforts.
"Let's face it, we talk about what would be the magic for public education," Morrison said. "It always boils down to good principals, good teachers and a good learning environment in the school that engages."
Morrison said he specifically was looking to the individuals in the auditorium on Thursday to help the school district better connect with its families and communities. He said in the coming weeks the school district will make race one of its prime topics, and will encourage its personnel and schools, its students and families, its community and region, to engage in an honest, frank dialogue regarding race.
He said that by doing so, the school district will be producing better students who will be enlightened citizens – citizens poised to make positive contributions to their community once they have graduated.
As energized as he seemed to be, Morrison said he understood the tenor of the times in Nevada. He acknowledged the state's nation-leading unemployment and foreclosure figures.
Yet, he said, "We are all Nevadans, and there has never been a more important time to be Nevadans, together." He said those in the room represented an important segment of Nevada's population.
"None of us in this room signed up to be the hope-bringers for an entire state," Morrison said. "But that's the job we have in education right now."
(Editor's note: read the Washoe County School District's strategic plan.)

Indians stun Angels with walk-off grand slam
CLEVELAND (AP) — Nick Swisher's two-out grand slam off Ernesto Frieri in the 10th inning gave the Cleveland Indians a 5-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday.
Swisher had gone 0 for 4 with three strikeouts before he belted a 1-2 pitch into the right-field seats to cap an improbable comeback after Albert Pujols' two-run single put the Angels ahead in the top of the inning.
Swisher threw his arms in the air when the ball cleared the wall and was mobbed by his teammates when he reached home plate.
Pujols' single with two outs gave the Angels a 3-1 lead, but the Indians responded off rookie Cam Bedrosian (0-1). Michael Bourn drew a leadoff walk and took third on Jason Kipnis' one-out double. Carlos Santana walked to load the bases and Frieri replaced Bedrosian. David Murphy flied out before Swisher rallied the Indians.
Kyle Crockett (1-0) retired the final hitter in the 10th for his first major league win.
Justin Masterson and C.J. Wilson both allowed one run in seven innings as neither pitcher was affected by Wednesday night's rainout, which pushed their scheduled start back a day.
Watch @PujolsFive give the #Angels the lead in the 10th with this 2-run single: http://t.co/XDO3J5l7eB
— Los Angeles Angels (@Angels) June 19, 2014
Masterson's wild pitch put Los Angeles ahead in the second, but Bourn tied it with an RBI groundout in the third.
Masterson held the Angels to four hits, walked three and hit a batter. Wilson allowed three hits, walked four and struck out six.
Howie Kendrick doubled with one out in the second and took third on a groundout. With David Freese batting, Masterson's low and outside pitch skipped past catcher Yan Gomes, allowing Kendrick to score.
Gomes led off the third with a single for Cleveland's first hit. He moved to third on a walk and a fielder's choice, and scored on Bourn's ground ball to the right side.
Masterson was helped by his defense. Gomes threw out Erik Aybar trying to steal second in the second. Right fielder Ryan Raburn made a running catch of Kendrick's line drive and doubled Hamilton off second in the fourth, and Hank Conger bounced into a double play in the fifth.
Indians manager Terry Francona said left fielder Michael Brantley (concussion) could take batting practice Friday with the plan of playing Saturday. Brantley sustained the concussion while trying to break up a double play Monday.
NOTES: The teams will make up Wednesday's rainout on a mutual day off at Progressive Field, with July 28 being the most likely possibility. The Angels begin a series in Baltimore the following day while the Indians start a homestand the next day. … Angels LHP Tyler Skaggs (strained right hamstring) threw a bullpen session Thursday. … The Angels return home for six games, beginning Friday against Texas. RHP Garrett Richards (6-2) will pitch the opener. … The Indians host Detroit on Friday in the opener of a three-game series. RHP Corey Kluber (6-4) is the scheduled starter.

Marriage, once viewed as mandatory, is just one of many lifestyle options in today's anything-goes society. Couples are living together for long stretches, and even having kids together, before they get married--if they choose to get married at all (recent census data even attributes the recent small decline in the divorce rate to, among other factors, a rise in couples cohabitating).
Celebrities are reflecting these changing values--and not just Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who seemed to have thumbed their noses at the institution long ago. Many more have expressed their profound ambivalence towards marriage as of late, which should come as no surprise: after all, what group is better poised to contemplate the meaning of marriage than one defined by on-again, off-again engagements and multiple divorces? Here, seven celebrities who have offered up their opinions on the subject.

First Look at Lily Collins as Snow White!
Take a break from superheroes and hobbits, it's princess time!
We've got a first look at Lily Collins as Snow White in Tarsem Singh's untitled Snow White movie. In this (sigh) "dark re-imagining" of the fairy tale, Snow White teams up with seven rebels (who may or may not be dwarves) in order to reclaim her kingdom from the evil Queen (Julia Roberts). Sean Bean recently joined the cast as the King, who will definitely not be surviving the film, given Bean's track record. While the plot may be deviating from the famous Disney film, costume design seems to harken back to the iconic original.
Tarsem Singh's project is one of several currently in the works about the famous fairy tale. Snow White and the Huntsman, from Universal studios, stars Chris Hemsworth and Kristen Stewart, and is due out next June. Singh's take promises to be more whimsical than the Hemsworth/Stewart romantic reinvention, judging by the director's signature visual style. It was his flair for dramatic imagery that made previous project, The Fall, so distinctive, and put him on the map in hollywood. No matter Snow White's actual quality, odds are that it will look absolutely gorgeous.
Singh's next film, Immortals, is due out November 11. Collins will next appear in thriller Abducted, with Taylor Lautner.
The untitled Snow White film is due out on March 16. Hopefully it will have a title by then.

I posted something but it's under review, possibly being censored by CK, let see if they let it go thru...if not?

Like everything else, always read the fine prints and see exact what you are paying for. If you purchase their "FICO Ultimate 3 Bureaus, Credit and Identity monitoring" service? Then you do get scores/report from 3 Bureaus, as matter of fact, you get 28 scores for FICO 4/8 and new~ish FICO 9 along with their corresponding auto/mortgage/bankcard scores, it's 29.95 per month just be sure to cancel it within 30 days, I do not think anyone would need that every month.
Cheaper option would be from credit check total, it's one dollar for 7 days trial, it only gives you one FICO8 score from 3 Bureaus, again cancel it within 7 days, tho they usually would offer half price if you continue at 14.95 per month, again I don't think anyone would need that monthly either, You can always do the 7 days trial again whenever you want just need a new email addy.
Many credit cards gives you some form of FICO8 scores, like AmEx, Citibank, Barclay, Discover, FNBO, even Walmart cards, CapOne's credit wise is TU Vantage3.

LIMPOPO – The Modimolle Regional Court recently sentenced Sakkie Marutle Malaza (36) and Manabeng Michael Makua (64) to an effective 18 years imprisonment. They were convicted for the unlawful possession of firearm without a licence, the unlawful possession of ammunition and the illegal hunting of protected animals.
On 27 February 2013 the SAPS reacted to information of a possible rhino poaching incident at Mabalingwe Game Farm in the Bela Bela district. The police officers spotted Malaza and two others entering Mabalingwe through a fence. They approached and arrested Malaza while the other two escaped, leaving behind an axe and a 300 rifle. Makua, who was a driver of a vehicle, was later arrested in Modimolle following police investigations.
Police also recovered 62 x 7.62 rounds of ammunition in Makua's Boschkop house near Pretoria.
Makua alleged during the trial that he had kept ammunition on behalf of Malaza. He denied being part of the group of poachers who attacked the farm saying he has been framed by the police. The court rejected the version that they were framed and based on
the principle of common purpose, both were convicted.
During sentencing, the State Prosecutor Liezel del Frate asked the court to disqualify both from obtaining any permits or authorizations in terms of the Limpopo Environmental Management Act (LEMA) and also to possess a firearm.
The court sentenced them to an effective term of 18 years imprisonment and the sentence on the count of the possession of a firearm without a licence was ordered to run concurrently with the sentence on the count of iIllegal hunting.
Both accused were barred for five years from obtaining any permits or authorizations in terms of LEMA and were also declared unfit to possess firearm.The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) welcomed the sentence and the Director of Public Prosecution in Limpopo, Advocate Ivy Thenga applauded the SAPS Tactical Response, Stock Theft Unit and the prosecutor for the good work.

The Southwest Colorado Tourism Summit will take place April 24-26.
Although held in Durango, this summit will deal with tourism throughout the region and ways we can capitalize on this industry. This multi-day expo will highlight popular tourism segments such as Historic Preservation and Agritourism, Colorado tour operators and the Four Corners Film Office. Another important effort at the summit will be to try and build collaboration with other tourism sites throughout the state and to create itineraries for Colorado visitors, especially in southwest Colorado.
Attendees will be able to visit the new Visitor Center in downtown Durango, which houses the Durango Area Tourism Office, Fort Lewis College and Durango & Silverton Train satellite offices. There will be networking opportunities with other tourism-related businesses. Since everyone in Pagosa is in the tourism industry in some way, you should consider attending the summit at least one of the days.
The full conference day is Thursday, April 25, and there will be speakers from the State Tourism Office and the Southwest Colorado Travel Region, and industry experts will attend.
The goal of this conference is to increase tourism in our region, build partnerships and find ways to accomplish the goal. Industry experts will speak about cooperative marketing partnerships, how social media can contribute to marketing efforts, and international tourism.
You can register online at www.swtourismsummit.com. Rates start at $59 per person, with early bird and multiple person registration. Whether you operate an independent business, a tourism site, a lodging facility, or are just interested in the tourism arena, this would be an educational conference to attend. The networking and contacts made will be worth the price of admission. We hope to see a strong Pagosa contingent at this summit.
Earth Day
On Saturday, April 20, Pagosa Springs celebrates Earth Day with a variety of activities.
Music, food, a beer garden and activities will kick off the day at Town Park at noon. Involve the children and learn more about how you can implement "earth-saving" practices and waste prevention efforts. There will be food vendors and live music at the site throughout the day.
Another part of the event will be volunteer recruitment activities. People new to the community, people who have a passion about a particular aspect of the community, or families looking to get involved should attend this one-stop information event. Numerous non-profit agencies will be on hand or have printed information available to educate the public about the impact the organizations have in our community, as well as to discuss the organizations and how you can help out. Even a few hours of volunteer effort a month can be of great help. You can also find information about organizations that can help you with your needs. Perhaps you have a child who is interested in outdoor activities or getting a Big Brother or Big Sister, or perhaps you would like to be a Big Brother or Big Sister? Representatives of GECKO and Big Brothers Big Sisters will be at the event. Would you like to find out more about our Geothermal Community Project, what it involves and how you can interact? They will be there. Working with animals, housing, tourism, various emergency services and many more community activities and organizations will be represented. There will be information for adults and children, and you can learn how a whole family can get involved or obtain services.
The Earth Day/Volunteer Recruitment festivities will take place in Town Park from noon to 6 p.m. They are free to the public. In case of inclement weather, the festivities will be held at the Archuleta County Fairgrounds. Celebrate our Mother Earth, find out ways to improve our daily living, and get community oriented and involved all in one location.

"Sad story."
This book was decent overall. The narration was ok. The story was interesting because that was NOT how it really happened in the end...thus the title Atonement for what she helped do. I won't ruin if for everyone but this version of what happened is the "nice" one compared to reality. Sad story either way. I found myself annoyed with the main character telling the story at times because she was so obviously blind to the real world and caused havoc.
"Terrible Narrator"
One thing this book requires is time to think about the author's words. This narrator, Jill Tanner, is reading so fast as to make any reaction except "What was that?" impossible.
"I kept waiting..."
Other reviews indicated that this one had a slow pace, and that was certainly true. I could have lived with that, were it not for the narration. The narrator pauses... all... the... time! She's a bit stoic, too. In the end, I could not endure more than a couple hours of this style of delivery, and they payoff never came. Oh well.
"McEwan's very best"
I am not a McEwan fan, i think he's a brilliant writer, but i usually don't appreciate his book plots which are focused on human weakness in an unbearable way.
In this case, both the writing and the plot are brilliant, he maginificently toys with the readers' point of view.
Brilliant narrator!
"Loved it."
I never saw the movie and can't imagine it could ever begin to live up to the book. This was soooo good and the description made you feel like you were right there.
"Didn't go anywhere"
I am not the most critical reviewer and I will listen to almost anything, including books that my teenager downloads. Anyway, I had high hopes for this book, especially with all the hype about the movie. Anyway, I found the book to be a total yawn. The events of one day took half the book and by the end of that day, I didn't care about any of the characters. I almost ditched the book several times, but stuck with it. Still it is not my favorite book. I found it totally boring.
"A long read"
I enjoyed the story but just felt it so long for what it had to say. There was too much running on about the texture of the surrounding but not enough insight in to character development or what attonement really ment to the main character at a more deep understanding. I was disappointed.
"I tried..."
I really wanted to like this book -- I had heard such good things about it, and heard it was being made into a film. I gave it the obligatory 50 pages, and just couldn't get into it. (I alternate listening and reading.) But If the story hasn't started by then, I can't get into it. I realize the author was doing extensive character development, but something needs to happen to hook me early on, and I didn't find the characters enough to keep me interested. So I did something I rarely do... I put it down.
"Patience Rewarded"
This was my first by the author and the start was a little slow for my taste. The story takes place in a very unfamiliar social setting, which can be a rather frustrating to the uninitiated. The writing is beautiful, however, and it was well worth the effort and patience to see it through to the end.
"I give up, too."
I could never get out of the starting block with this book. After about 2-3 hours I found myself looking for a semi-decent radio station (now THAT is desperation.) I didn't have any interest in the characters, and there was certainly no action (or even movement) to fall back on. I can't recommend this one.

Sheridan County commissioners yesterday (Tuesday, Feb. 4) approved a variance that will allow a couple to build a house on land near Clearmont even though the lot is nearly half the size called for in county regulations. John and Kathy Cattles bought a lot just over 40 acres on the southeast side of Clear Creek – then discovered after the purchase that county regulations set 80 acres as the minimum size on which a residence can be built. The Cattles requested a variance from county regulations – a request denied by the county planning and zoning board.
Paul Auzqui, who sold the land to the Cattles, told commissioners during their meeting yesterday that none of the people who live in the area object to the Cattles' request. He told commissioners why the Cattles bought land that didn't conform to county regulations, and the importance of the variance to the nearby town of Clearmont.
John Cattle later said the county regulation set up a unique situation, adding that the norm for rural lot sizes elsewhere in Wyoming is 40 acres for residential buildings.
Commissioner Steve Maier moved that the lot variance be approved, adding he was sympathetic to the situation. He said the change to an 80-acre lot requirement in the county was fairly recently. Commissioner Tom Ringley called the situation a "perfect storm" of a lack of information. Commissioners voted 5 to zero to approve the variance.
In other action yesterday, commissioners approved a conditional use permit for Robert and Joan Ligocki to establish a private cemetery on their land above Wildcat Creek about 75 feet south of Upper Cat Road. Total area of the cemetery is 2,300 square feet.

XP Antispyware 2011 is a new version of XP AntiSpyware 2010 that plagued PC's some time ago. This time, this fake antispyware program is released with multiple other OS -specific parasites that are distributed as fake Microsoft update to PC security. You will get XP AntiSpyware randomly, and might get it under names of AntiMalware, Guard or Internet Security. It is the same dangerous parasite.
The installation of XP Antispyware will result into blocking majority of programs from execution. You will be able to launch browsers, but other programs will be closed due to "infections" and XP Antispyware 2011 will launch instead. You might scan your PC with this fake antivirus, but all the detected infections are fake and should be ignored. It will not fix your pc claiming that you need full version. This is sure sign of scam, as Microsoft's own antivirus (Microsoft Security essentials) is free at the moment.
XP antispyware 2011 will block browsing as well. Many of legitimate security websites will be blocked by claiming that they were infected. You will be asked to activate your copy of the Antispyware for protection. Funnily, working legitimate anti-malware protection can not "clean" infected websites and just blocks browsing as well. However, it would block infected for real websites. Here a sample of the warning:
Internet Explorer alert. Visiting this site may pose a security threat to your system!
Possible reasons include:
– Dangerous code found in this site's pages which installed unwanted software into your system.
– Suspicious and potentially unsafe network activity detected.
– Spyware infections in your system
– Complaints from other users about this site.
– Port and system scans performed by the site being visited.
Things you can do:
– Get a copy of XP Antispyware 2011 to safeguard your PC while surfing the web (RECOMMENDED)
– Run a spyware, virus and malware scan
– Continue surfing without any security measures (DANGEROUS)
Do not pay for XP Antispyware 2011 under any conditions!. The payment processors used to process such payments are in hands of malware owners and they will sell your credit card details further. This means you will have to change your credit card in the bank.
XP Antispyware 2011 removal guide
You can try stop popups and remove it by entering old registration key for this family of rogues:
It was announced by malware researcher Siri that it still works. You might need order number though : 21197673. Also, there are not guarantees that XP Antispyware creators won't change the key in the future. If it fails, continue with instructions:
To remove XP Antispyware 2011 you will need to download and burn into cd several programs on clean PC or Alternate OS scaner. Here instructions:
a) Burn these programs to CD or write them to USB disk (you can use an MP3 player):
- Spyware Doctor ( https://www.2-viruses.com/spdoc.exe )
- Registry fix : https://www.2-viruses.com/wp-content/uploads/exeregfix.reg to restore normal execution of registry
- You might want to download Hitman Pro or Malwarebytes as alternate scanners. Though you are likely to be able to download them later on.
b). Boot normally. wait for XP Antispyware 2011 to launch, and run exeregfix.reg . This should allow launching legitimate programs
c) Delete or remove the files that are mentioned in our files box. You can use spyhunter to identify the infected files and additional infections. Do not forget update it before scanning. Remove what it finds.
d) Scan with spyhunter and secondary tools and reboot your PC. This should fully get rid of XP Antispyware 2011.
In some cases virus mutates and you cannot perform some part of these instructions. In such cases we recommend trying scans from within safe mode, or doing Alternate OS scans by tools from one of antivirus program makers, for example this : http://pctools.com/aoss
Automatic XP Antispyware 2011 removal tools
Manual removal
Important Note: Although it is possible to manually remove XP Antispyware 2011, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend using Reimage or other tools found on 2-viruses.com.

I really like the idea of Leonora & Greta. Greta is such a classic name, but unusual nowadays. I think you could really bring it back!
otherwise I LOVE the name Artemis, and I agree that letting your son help is very sweet and meaningful. I named my little sister when I was three! haha. Leonora & Artemis sound like beautiful, mythical warrior women (appropriately, I suppose).
all the names you have picked out are lovely.

Haven't got many suggestions but consider that the other girl might not love that her sister got two really meaningful/honorific middle names if her own were chosen 'just because', or vice versa (first one not liking that her middles are of a different style than her sister).
Just another consideration.

Hi anotherkate, that is a really good point, all siblings feel fairness very strongly and I can imagine twins more so. I also feel they need to have equally balanced names so both first names need to be longish, at least three syllables which does sort of rule out some of my favourite names. There is never really a just because when it comes to names though is there really? There is always something that chimes. Grace is what I was always told my name meant, or by Grace of God so the idea of using Grace is just me cheekily naming a daughter after myself and Josephine is after my mother who is Jo but Joanne (which she hates). Artemis was of course a twin and it would be great to include our son in the choice.
Everyone has been so helpful and I think I have at least shortened the front runners now down to Josephine, Arabella, Artemis. I can't believe how lucky I am having twin girls, thanks for the ideas.

Does your partner have a name, middle name, or relative's name that you might want to include as a middle? I agree with another Kate that it might be nice to have that balance.
I love Artemis and especially with Leonora. Such strong but still distinctly feminine names. To me Josephine is not that interesting. I should like it, as it fits with all the others I like, I just don't. And to me, Arabella is too frilly without the substance that Leonora has.
Artemis Josephine Grace is my suggestion from your current list.

Okay, California Pacific Airlines ready again
FAA-certified, but start dates out of Carlsbad airport uncertain (psst, April)
Ken Harrison 8:30 a.m., Nov. 18
Saturday's game between the Seattle Mariners and the San Diego Padres in Peoria was a mostly contest of 2-run home runs. Unfortunately for the Padres, they could only manage one of those home runs while Seattle hit three of them and the Mariners went on to beat the Padres 8-6.
With Tyler Ross on the mound for the Padres in the top of the first inning, Franklin Gutierrez drew a lead-off walk, and one out later, Jason Bay smacked a home run and the Mariners jumped out to a 2-0 lead. Mariners starter Blake Beavan was flawless, and the score remained the same until the fifth inning.
Brad Boxberger relieved Wilfredo Buscan for the Padres in the top of the fifth, and with two outs, walked Jason Bay and then gave up a blast to right field as Justin Smoak smacked a home run onto the grassy knoll over the right field fence and the Mariners led 4-0. And the Padres had no offensive response until the bottom of the sixth inning.
With two outs, Jesus Guzman walked and then Jeudy Valdez doubled off of the wall to drive in Guzman and the Padres were on the board. Unfortunately, the Padres gave up some more runs to the Mariners after that.
In the top of the seventh inning with Arturo Lopez on the mound for the Padres, Julio Morban and Jesus Peguero hit back-to-back singles, putting runners on first and third base with one out. Eric Thames then hit into a force-out but Morban scored and the Mariners opened up a 5-1 lead.
And, the Mariners added on again in their half of the eighth inning. John Hicks opened the inning with a single and then Jesus Sucre walked, and Vinnie Catricala singled and Hicks scored and the Mariners led 6-1.
The Mariners ninth would see them hit their third 2-run homer. With Matt Stites on the mound for the Padres, Eric Thames walked with one out and Mike Jacobs popped a home run, and the Mariners took a 8-1 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning.
But the Padres weren't finished. In fact, they made it interesting in the last frame. Jhonny Nunez took the hill for the Mariners and immediately ran into problems. Kyle Blanks doubled and then Jeudy Valdez remained perfect at the plate in the pre-season by smacking a home run to left field, and the Padres trailed 8-3.
Valdez has two doubles and a home run in three at-bats.
Edinson Rincon reached on an error by the catcher for the Mariners, and then after one out, Jason Hagerty singled, driving Rincon to third base. Jonathon Galvez pinch-ran for Hagerty, and after Jaff Decker struck out, Austin Hedges came up and reached on an error, scoring Rincon, and the Padres trailed by four runs.
Jedd Gyorko then came to the plate and hit a bloop that fell in, scoring Galvez and Hedges, and the Padres closed to within two runs. But James Darnell hit into a ground out and the Padres rally fell short. The rubber game of this three-game set will be completed on Sunday.
Most of the early spring training games are scripted, with pitchers and position players charted to come in and out in order to get some time in these Cactus League games. The idea is to get players a certain amount of work, at a pace. Think nothing of the massive changes that occur mid-game, they have little to do with the game itself. It's always nice to win your spring training games, but that is secondary to getting the players into playing shape for the regular season. Chase Headley and Carlos Quentin will play soon enough, but you don't pinch-hit them in Peoria in February, you need these guys in August.
The rubber game of this series is on Sunday, when Freddy Garcia is expected to start in Peoria. Other slated pitchers for the Padres include Casey Kelly, Dale Thayer, Luke Gregerson, Fautino De Los Santos, Daniel Stange, and Kevin Quackenbush. Game time is at 12:05 PST, and the contest can be heard on radio 1090 AM.

I was recently talking to a good friend about the idea of a summer "capsule wardrobe." It got me thinking about pieces that could be used for a variety of occasions throughout the sunny season as an alternative to buying a lot of different outfits only ever to be worn a few times before winter rolls around again. I love the versatility of a pair of loose fitted patterned trousers and its multiple styling options definitely makes it a suitable piece for a capsule wardrobe. They can be complimented with a loose fitted top, laired pendant necklaces and a straw fedora for a bohemian casual day look, a great comfortable option for sight seeing on your summer holiday. For a more evening appropriate look I would smarten them up with a chiffon tank and chic sandals. Either way these trousers are definitely a staple for me this summer and I can't wait to wear them for more sunny evenings like this one.

STARKVILLE, Miss.– He grew up loving football and pretending to be San Francisco Forty-Niners wide receiver Jerry Rice.
Little did John W. Van Horn III realize he would one day intercept quarterback Kurt Warner, Super Bowl XXXIV champion, and play on the same team with National Football League Hall of Fame running back Marcus Allen.
Van Horn, one of just 28 participants in the TOSTITOS Homecoming Party Bowl, played under the leadership of legendary football coach Bobby Bowden and against coach Urban Meyer, whose Ohio State Buckeyes went undefeated during the 2012 season. TOSTITOS, in conjunction with U.S. veteran-supporting organizations Got Your 6 and Pat Tillman Foundation, sponsored the December game, which was featured as part of the halftime festivities at the TOSTITOS Fiesta Bowl.
Van Horn, a veteran U.S. Air Force senior airman and Tillman Military Scholar at Mississippi State University, was initially told he was visiting California to play a flag football game for charity.
"Pat Tillman Scholarship students learn leadership through the Tillman Military Scholars Leadership summits and are heavily engaged in community service," said Ronnie White, assistant director for MSU's Center for America's Veterans. "The Pat Tillman Military Scholarship also assists these students with financial support which allows them the opportunity to complete their college education debt free."
Pat Tillman Foundation program director Hunter I. Riley invited Van Horn to play, perhaps because the senior from Silver Spring, Md., had been a walk-on punter for MSU but was sidelined by a stress fracture in his foot during the 2012-2013 season, Van Horn explained.
However, on the second day of his California trip, he received the surprise of his life.
"They actually told us that we lost the soccer field where we'd been playing, and they had to scramble around to get another. Then, they take us to this local college," Van Horn said. "They got us back on the bus after the walk-throughs and took us a couple hundred yards. We could see the TOSTITOS tunnel you run out of.
"Then we walk into the locker room, and everybody's locker is decked out. We all just freaked out. People were jumping around; it was just an amazing experience."
Then, coaches Bowden and Meyer walked in, soon followed by NFL greats Warner and Allen at Cerritos Community College in Norwalk, Calif., southwest of Los Angeles. Once the teams — Liberty and Freedom — were on the playing field, actor Owen Wilson ran up, ready to play and support both veteran teams, Van Horn said.
"Everything was in the moment; we were living in the present. It was so surreal," he said. "It was almost hard to act like me because I didn't know that atmosphere. All this stuff was put on for us, and it was an absolutely amazing experience — hanging out with Marcus Allen and talking pregame stuff, besides trash-talking on Kurt Warner — it was all in good fun."
Van Horn said he grew up watching Allen and Warner play, and not only did Van Horn catch a touchdown pass and a two-point conversion, he actually had a diving interception on Kurt Warner.
"I didn't feel like a punter," Van Horn said.
He said he formed family-like relationships with all the veterans who participated in the game, and it's a pattern he's noticed since before he became part of the Tillman Military Scholar family — it began when he joined the geosciences department at MSU to study professional meteorology and climatology.
Even though he has a better than B-average in his college coursework, Van Horn was initially declared "academically ineligible" when he tried to walk on to the football team. However, geosciences associate professors Mike Brown and Grady Dixon did everything possible to get the mistake corrected, Van Horn explained.
"Dr. Brown and Dr. Dixon got on the computer and said, 'We're not taking no for an answer.' It was a mistake in one of the forms, since I'd transferred. They had to move my classes around," Van Horn said. "Those guys are just one of a kind, and I'm so fortunate to have come here. These professors and this military group at the university — they're so supportive."
The Tillman Military Scholar program at MSU has become family for Van Horn, too.
White said MSU and the Center for America's Veterans relies on a "whatever-it-takes" attitude to ensure that veterans and service members, as well as their dependents and survivors, transition to college life smoothly and successfully to obtain their college degrees.
"Mississippi State is, from what I've experienced, very involved with student veterans. The Tillman Military Scholarship is a huge exclamation point on that involvement," Van Horn agreed.

Credit Union Centers Reports Strong 2011
Credit Union Centers, the shared branching vendor headquartered in Indianapolis, said it added 31 new shared branching outlets in 2011, an increase of 10%.
That included the 279,000-member, $4.4 billion CEFCU in Peoria, Ill., along with three smaller institutions.
"Many of the reasons for our growth in 2011 stem from today's credit unions looking for new opportunities to grow membership and revenue," said Dan Davis, chief financial officer at Credit Union Centers.
"Our credit unions are successfully leveraging our cooperative network to expand their market presence, which ultimately attracts a broader membership base that can increase their income," Davis said.
By investing in one network interface, credit unions that join Credit Union Centers benefit from not only having access to thousands of branches nationwide as well as mobile banking, remote capture, kiosks and a 24/7 call center, he added.
Other institutions that joined CUC in 2011 include the Southwest Chicago Chapter CU ($19 million; 1,932 members); Chicago Patrolmen's FCU ($355 million; 21,489 members) and Members Choice CU ($110 million; 9,244 members, Peoria).

Previously, we discussed emergency lighting using candles, flashlights and lanterns. In this section we'll discuss how car light strips can be used along with generators.
Car lights
A really creative idea that we came across was using car's under-carriage strips. These lights are flexible and shouldn't take up a ton of energy. If you needed to tack them on to a wall or ceiling they would be really easy.
If you have the means to get a generator, you'll need to decide on purchasing a permanent or portable generator. The Learning Center at StateFarm, mentions that a permanent generator "remain permanently outside the home and on standby. They run on an existing fuel source – either liquid propane or natural gas – and are capable of generating enough wattage to re-energize your home only seconds after it loses power."
Make sure that you have a qualified electrician look at how you set up your permanent generator. If they are hooked up incorrectly, they can lead to "back feed" of a home's wiring. These generators can also be fairly expensive.
[Portable generators ]offer a more affordable option, when only a few vital electrical items are needed during a power outage. These generators are smaller and can be wheeled out of the garage. Their primary fuel is gasoline, so they should never be run inside the home or any enclosed area, where deadly carbon monoxide gas can accumulate.
In order to select the best backup generator for yourself and your family, determine just how much power you would need in the event of a blackout. What could you do without for a few days? Hot water? Cold food? Check the manufacturer information for each appliance to find out the wattage of your necessary appliances, and then tally their numbers. A portable generator may be your best option if you stay aware of your energy consumption, and hold to using the wattage limit of the generator. Depending on the model, portables can generate between 2,500 and 4,500 watts. By using energy wisely, you'll still be able to comfortably endure a blackout. (Read full article at StateFarm's Learning Center.)
If you are wanting more information about generators, please read a post that we sent out a while back.
There are a lot of options for emergency lighting needs. While some might just be getting started with their lighting needs, others might be well prepared. Just be sure to be prepared to give yourself peace of mind in an emergency situation.

Consider the following:
Now suppose we want to add a 6th element (without using vector)Code:int *p; p = new int[5]; for(int i=0;i<5;i++) *(p+i)=i;
One way is to copy it across to a larger array:
This looks like a very expensive operation and im looking for other ways.Code:int *p; p = new int[5]; for(int i=0;i<5;i++) *(p+i)=i; // realloc int* temp = new int[6]; std::copy(p, p + 5, temp); delete [] p; p = temp;
Three questions regarding the above:
- Not using vector, is this the best way to do this?
- What about using realloc? How would I use realloc in this situation?
- Any other ways apart from realloc or vector?

The Val d`Arrens has many possibilities for hikes and for mountaineering. It is a beautiful and in many ways enchanting part of the Bigorre and the Hautes Pyrénées. This route, located in that region, is about traversing a col and visiting several lakes, natural ones and a dam lake, the Lac de Migouélou.
The col is called Col d´Hospitalet. It is the col north of Lac de Migouélou, the deepest part of the ridge between Pic des Tourettes to the west and Pic Arrouy to the east, connecting the Migouélou valley in the south with the Lac de Pouey Laün to the north.
Migouélou lake is a dammed lake and the dam is an extraordinary one: several concrete semi-circles, pushing their concave side into the lake, are holding back the water, coming down from every direction within the upper Migouélou valley. Huge tubes are channeling down the water over 800 meters of altitude difference to the Migouélou power plant, thus feeding the region with water generated energy. When viewed from below the dam looks like a crown sitting in the middle of the valley.
The trailheads of the hike to Col d´Hospitalet are near another dammed lake: Barrage du Tech, deep down in the Arrens valley south of Arrens-Marsous, one of the main villages within Val d´Azun.
When I hiked up Col d´Hospitalet the plan was to summit Pic des Tourettes. It looked like an easy prey in the IGN topo map. Just follow the ridge from the col and up to the summit. That was wrong! You always should take the denomination of a mountain seriously. Tourettes meens: little rock towers and that was it where we ended at last: the easy ridge was in fact an arete full of little rock spires and towers - good rock to climb but too long and too difficult for us. The normal route to Pic des Tourettes is another one as I learned now from a French internet site. So hopefully this will be another adventure in another year .....
But Col d`Hospitalet is absolutely worth a hike. The lakes are just beautiful, the views from the col are very nice and can be enhancend by climbing the first (and rather easy accessible) "Tourette" (point 2667 m of the IGN topo map)- which we did this day (see the pics on this site) - or climbing Pic Arrouy, which needs some UIAA grade I to II scramble on the west ridge route. Balaitous, Pallas, Arriel and Lurien, together with Grand and Petit Gabizos can be studied thoroughly.
The traverse into Lacs de Pouey Laün valley is a rather long hike and needs some preparation as you start and end at different trailheads. Two cars for the two trailheads, hitchhiking or some bikes are needed to overcome these difficulties (about 3,5 km on the valley road).
Or if you intend to visit only Migouélou valley, there is a nice and in some parts off-trail detour via Réfuge de Migouélou, Col d´Artouste and then the west and northwest side of Migouélou lake below Pic de Palada, Le Milhas and the Tourettes east ridge up to Col d´Hospitalet.
Note: the above mentioned Pic Arrouy is not that Pic Arrouy, which is situated above Vallée de Marcadau! Arrouy means "red coloured" and is a rather common name within the Hautes Pyrénées
Getting There
You reach the trailheads of Val d´Arrens
The trailhead for Lac de Pouey Laün and Col d´Hospitalet is at the southern end of Barrage du Tech near the camping ground.
The trailhead for Lac de Migouélou and Col d´Hospitalet is some 3,5 km further on. It is the first parking area after Barrage du Tech on the right hand side of the road (Plaa d´Aste).
A second parking area is at the end of the road about 1 km south of the Plaa d´Aste trailhead. This second parking area is the starting point for the ski route to Lac de Migouélou.
From Barrage du Tech
Follow the road to Bouleste and Col d` Uzious for about 1 km. At a trail junction take the left hand trail into the left hand valley and ascent to Pla d´Artigou. Follow the zigzag trail to Bassia det Pi and at last to Lac de Pouey Laün below Pic Estibère and Pic des Tourettes. Pass the lake on its north and northwest shore and continue on the trail up to Col d´Hospitalet.
The ski route from Barrage du Tech uses the Pic Arrouy north slopes, called Peyralagor, to reach the Lac de Pouey Laün, starting at Pla d´Artigou. Below Pla d´Artigou and above Lac de Pouey Laün summer and winter route are the same.
From Plaa d´Aste
Take the trail to Réfuge de Migouélou (signposts at the parking area). Ascent on that trail in many zigzags to La Mouric above the Vallon de l´Arriougrand and gain the south slopes of Pic Arrouy high above that Vallon. Traverse these south slopes to a trail junction below the dam of Lac de Migouélou. Take the right hand trail which leads steeply up to Col d´Hospitalet (signpost). The Réfuge de Migouélou is about 5 minutes from the trail junction below the dam via the left hand trail.
The ski route to Lac de Migouélou and Col d´Hospitalet starts some 1 km south of the summer trailhead at the last parking area of the Val d´Arrens and uses the steep slopes up to Lac des Touest, before traversing to Lac de Lassiédouat and Lac de Migouélou. From there the ski route follows the summer route. This ascent seems to be very steep.
Pleasant encores to do
Pic Arrouy (2708 m): west ridge, UIAA grade I / II, off-trail
Pic des Tourettes (2771 m): From the col ascend the east ridge and traverse the south slopes of that east ridge where it is possible (steep meadows about 150 meters below the ridge crest) in western direction. Ascent over scree and easy rocks to Col de Milhas. Use the south ridge from Col de Milhas to Pic des Tourettes (UIAA grade I / II) or use the north ridge to the summit "Le Milhas" (2739 m; rock and steep meadow scramble)
First "Tourette" of the Pic des Tourettes east ridge (2667 m): Follow the east ridge from the Col; bypass steep rock parts in the lower section on their south side (easy rock and steep meadow scramble).
Red Tape & Accommodation
Red Tape
The Col d´Hospitalet and the routes are within the "Parc National des Pyrénées". This huge national park covers about 2060 km² and has many restrictions as you can see on the picture.
Camping is generally forbidden in the national park and in a zone half an hour from outside the park borders. Near the mountain club huts normally special zones are reserved for overnight camping.
There are no fees for entering the park. The parking areas at Barrage du Tech and Plaa d´Aste are free (2011).
Fishing is possible with some regulations at the Lac de Migouélou.
You find all kinds of accommodation in the surrounding villages:
Nearby villages are:
Mountain hut
Gear & Mountain Condition
Col d´Hospitalet is a normal hiking route in summer and autumn. You need hiking gear and - in early summer - some gaiters.
If you intend to summit one of the surrounding peaks you should master UIAA grade I to II in off-trail terrain, steep meadow and scree slopes with some exposure.
In winter / spring you need full ski tour gear and your avalanche gear when venturing out for Col d´Hospitalet.
Check the Hautes Pyrénées avalanche conditions here .
Réfuge de Migouélou is a guarded hut, normally from end of june through september. In unguarded times there is an open room for overnight stays and a huge bath tube in front of the hut: Lac de Migouélou.

HANOVER PARK — The village is close to completing the first phase of its new comprehensive plan, the first major update since 1989.
The plan will emphasize redevelopment, according to Trustee Phillip Landon, chairman of the Village Board's Planning Committee.
"The last time we did a comprehensive plan, there were still parcels of land to be developed," Landon said. "We're close to being landlocked, and now we're looking with more detail at the few open spaces we have and what we want them to look like at the end."

Daewoo cuts jobs to ease merger
Distressed Korean auto maker Daewoo Motor has said it plans to cut nearly 400 jobs from its sales unit in order to ease a mooted takeover by US auto giant General Motors.
Tuesday's announcement follows 500 job cuts in November at Daewoo's marketing division, which is not included in GM's planned acquisition.
The latest round of cuts mean that over a quarter of Daewoo's sales and marketing staff will have been axed by February.
Daewoo is weighed down by a mountain of debt that some analysts view as a potential obstacle to the GM deal.
There are growing concerns that the company's $17bn debt may turn out to be even larger, with Korean newspaper reports suggesting that its liabilities may have been understated by as much as $1.5bn.
Re-establishing Korea
Speaking to BBC News at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Nick Reilly, who is heading GM's effort to absorb Daewoo, said that Daewoo must return to profitability within two to three years.
He outlined a range of steps the car maker could take to reassure the Korean car-buying public that Daewoo is once again stable.
"Obviously with the doubt over the company that there's been in the last 12 months, it's lost some market share in the Korean market," Mr Reilly told BBC News.
"It has to be a big player there," he said.
Daewoo used to hold 20% of the car market in Korea, according to Mr Reilly. Amid debt woes and customer wariness that share has slipped to just 12%.
Other issues
Analysts say it is imperative to hasten the merger process, which has dragged on since September, in order to revive Daewoo's flagging image.
GM officials have indicated the takeover is still on course, and should be completed in about six weeks.
Cost-cutting is another of GM's option for restoring the ailing Korean carmaker to profitability
GM hopes to leverage its vast buying power to drive down prices on parts as well as merging Daewoo's international operations.
Mr Reilly said it appears Daewoo ran each national division separately, leading to inefficiency and duplication.
"I think there's probably quite a lot we can do to help there and reduce the marketing and distribution costs," he said.
GM hopes to utilise its huge marketing resources to help Daewoo expand in markets around the world, including the US, the UK and Latin America.

text: Dear Guys: In a strange bout of nostaligia, I was thinking there was wonderful simplicity, when years back, there was just three networks. That being, ABC, CBS, and NBC; okay, okay, you could include PBS, maybe. Back than, they all started their new seasons the same week, they all started pretty much the same time, you knew when the new episodes were out and you knew when it rerun season. The new seasons started after labor day, and pretty much ran to March/April. Than it was rerun summer. But know you have to jump over forty plus some channels to find what you're looking for. You have to go to Nickelodeon to see Penquins of Madagascar, you have to go to SCIFI Channel to record StarGate Universe, you have to pop over to TVLand to see Bonanza. You get the picture. But now, the networks don't even rerun right. They keep switching the times, so you can't keep all the schedules right. Ahh. There was a simplicity when there was just three networks, and a little bit of everything for everyone. Now everything is demographically done, specialized, and rated. What do you guys think? Am I being too overly simplistic? Remember in this "golden age" few people had VCR's. James

Budgets going over the board and producers facing release tensions are not new for Tollywood. But popular production '14 Reels' is said to be rolling the dice for wrong numbers again and again. Even after '1 Nenokkadine' has over shot than expected only to push them into a financing deal with 'Eros', there seems to be no control over their immediate production venture, Mahesh Babu's 'Aagadu'.
Some unconfirmed reports indicated that Mahesh's movie was initially planned at a budget of 38 crores such that there will be cool profits for all the involved parties. However during production all the costs have gone overboard with an excess 15 crores spun into the shootings. Total budget has finally shot up to 55+ Crores, forcing the producers to seek help from EROS Group again.
Earlier the same company has bailed out '1 Nenokkadine', not from debts but from release-trouble. It is heard that '14 Reels' still owes some money to Eros regarding Sukumar's intelligent flick. And now, they are heard taking a fresh loan from the Bollywood marketing giant to secure smooth release for 'Aagadu'.
Authenticity of these reports could not be verified, but we can say that these stories are catching pace ever since 'Aagadu' posters started featuring logos of 'Eros Group'. It seems like a 'blockbuster' and 'industry hit' kind of result should happen to post smileys on the faces of involved stake holders.

The Importance of Wildlife
I would love to be a wildlife rehabilitator and help during times of environmental crisis. I want to help stabilize populations of various animals so they are no longer endangered and create a safe environment for them. All animals are an important part of our global ecosystem, without them, the natural stability and balance will be lost. While it may not seem like a pressing issue in our everyday lives, the long term effects are very impactful. For example, the elimination of a predatory species will allow an exponential growth of another and the balance will be lost. Without predators, other species will take over the land which can cause extreme environmental changes because the natural resources are being used more frequently. There is a natural order to stabilize population sizes so that the animals are not harmful to the environment, however a man-made imbalance will create change that is harder to correct. I plan to attend a veterinary school one day and hopefully use this education to allow me to make an impact on our wildlife. With such a degree, I can help on a wildlife reserve or even start my own cause to improve the lives of endangered species. I believe that it is vital that we take a closer, open-minded, look at our planet and attempt to fix the environmental problems so that we can sustain life. And because of this belief, I hope that my education and future career can help make this happen.

Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
If i violated a condition of my release in fl by communicating with the victim, will my bond be revoked if she tells the police? Its a felony charge. Will i be given a new bond?
Asked on 7/06/13, 10:23 pm
1 Answer from Attorneys
Craig Epifanio Craig Epifanio, P.A.
Most likely you will be violated. Since avoiding contact with the victim is a major condition of probation, a bond is unlikely. You need to contact an attorney in your area to help avoid some of these consequences.
