Intel has launched its latest generation of processors called Ivy Bridge. So you're probably wondering what it all means to the technology world and computing. We've put together this FAQ to answer all your burning questions. See also Yoyotech Warbird XTi review.
Intel Ivy Bridge: What is Ivy Bridge?
Ivy Bridge is Intel's third generation of Core i processors. They succeed the second generation called Sandy Bridge. See also: Intel launches Ivy Bridge processor family.
Intel Ivy Bridge: What are Ivy Bridge processors for?
Intel has designed the range of Ivy Bridge chips for desktop PCs and laptops.
Intel Ivy Bridge: How many cores does Ivy Bridge have?
All Ivy Bridge processors have four cores, the same as Sandy Bridge. Certain models have Hyper Threading technology.
Intel Ivy Bridge: How many Ivy Bridge processors are there?
The initial Ivy Bridge launch includes five desktop processors - three are Core i5 and two are Core i7. Below is a brief overview of their specifications.
• i5-3450, 3.1-3.5GHz, four cores, four threads, 6MB cache, HD 2500 graphics.
• i5-3550, 3.3-3.7GHz, four cores, four threads, 6MB cache, HD 2500 graphics.
• i5-3570K, 3.4-3.8GHz, four cores, four threads, 6MB cache, HD 4000 graphics.
• i7-3770, 3.4-3.9GHz, four cores, eight threads, 8MB cache, HD 4000 graphics.
• i7-3770K, 3.5-3.9GHz, four cores, eight threads, 8MB cache, HD 4000 graphics.
There are also low power and mobile editions in the range. Take a look at Intel's site for the complete list.
Intel Ivy Bridge: Where is the Core i3 model?
The launch of Ivy Bridge processors doesn't include any Core i3 models. Intel has said these will launch later in the year.
Intel Ivy Bridge: What are the benefits of Ivy Bridge?
The main benefits of Ivy Bridge can be summed up in three areas - graphics, media performance and energy efficiency. The biggest area of improvement is the graphics side of the chip.
Intel Ivy Bridge: What fabrication process is used for Ivy Bridge?
A 22-nanometer (nm) process is used to manufacture Ivy Bridge processors. In comparison Sandy Bridge chips used a 32nm process.
Intel Ivy Bridge: How fast is Ivy Bridge?
In our tests we only saw an overall 2.6 percent improvement in application performance using WorldBench 6. But some individual components of the test achieved up to 6 percent improvement. It is the graphics side of things where we saw the biggest improvements. See also: Intel Ivy Bridge review.
Intel Ivy Bridge: When will Ivy Bridge be available?
The first wave of Ivy Bridge processors will be available on 29 April.
Intel Ivy Bridge: How much power does Ivy Bridge use?
The main desktop processors which we listed earlier all have a thermal design power (TDP) of 77W. However, the Ivy Bridge range includes chips with a TDP of 65W, 45W or 35W.
Intel Ivy Bridge: Is Ivy Bridge compatible with Sandy Bridge motherboards?
Yes, Ivy Bridge is compatible with the LGA1155 socket so can be easily upgraded without a new motherboard. However, there are advantages to getting a 7-series motherboard for Ivy Bridge chips. See: Intel Ivy Bridge 7-series motherboards tested.
Intel Ivy Bridge: Will I need a graphics card anymore?
As we mentioned earlier the biggest improvement area with Ivy Bridge is the graphics. In our tests we saw an improvement of 45 percent in video transcoding and up to 36 percent in a gaming benchmark. Hard-core gamers will still want a dedicated graphics card but budget cards are effectively obsolete with the introduction of Ivy Bridge. See also: Ivy Bridge graphics kills budget graphics cards.

Cherokee Nation Principal Chief calls for more transparency in government
Cherokee Nation Deputy Chief S. Joe Crittenden congratulates Sequoyah students Lisan Tiger-Blair and Sharon Stanley after Principal Chief Bill John Baker presented each with a certificate for placing second and third respectively in the Cherokee Nation Indian Child Welfare art contest. Contest winner Baylee Herrin is not pictured.
, Okla. — Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker opened the May Tribal Council meeting by calling for more transparency and strengthening of the Cherokee Nation's Freedom of Information Act. A Tribal Council work group is currently reviewing changes to the law.
"In my time on the Tribal Council, I voted three times to strengthen the Freedom of Information Act. Only four months into my tenure as Principal Chief, I had the privilege of signing into law even more protections for FOIA," Baker said. "The Cherokee Nation has always been a beacon of progress among all tribal nations, and we should continue to be a leader in all areas, including transparency. I recommend that the work group consider changes to the law, which only strengthen and increase our transparency."
The council's work group will study the legislation over the next two weeks. The group will share its findings at the Tribal Council rules committee meeting on May 28.
The Cherokee Nation Tribal Council also passed a resolution Monday to provide equal per capita funding to all eligible Johnson-O'Malley students at all public schools within the tribe's jurisdiction.
The resolution adds three new schools to the Cherokee Nation Education Services' JOM funding list, which will serve more than 250 additional students in the 2015 fiscal year. Lowrey Public School, Shady Grove Public School and Mosley Public School were added to the list. All previously did not receive JOM funding for eligible Native American students.
"The Cherokee Nation must guarantee all of our students are given equal opportunity to succeed," said Cherokee Nation Tribal Councilor David Walkingstick, chair of the education and cultural committee. "Creating equal per capita funding for all JOM students within the Cherokee Nation gives each student access to educational programs that will only enhance their learning capabilities and open more doors that lead to successful lives."
The JOM program aids the educational development of Native American students attending public and some tribal schools through the use of supplemental education programs. Schools use JOM funds for programs such as tutoring, preschool programs, gifted programs, summer school classes, cultural enrichment, field trips, transportation and school supplies.
"Today we are making critical investments in the next generation of Cherokee leaders. Successful JOM programs in our service area not only ensure all Cherokee children receive the educational tools they need to succeed, like books, fees and equipment, but they also incorporate our tribal heritage and culture in the local education curriculum," said Cherokee Nation Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin Jr. "We have a responsibility to keep pushing for greater successes and raising the bar for our JOM programs. With those increased opportunities comes hope for a brighter future for our youth."
In health care news, the council approved a capital budget modification redirecting $3.3 million from the Tribal Council House building fund and $2.7 million health carry over funds to Cherokee Nation Health Services for new health equipment and supplies at tribal health centers. The $6 million worth of equipment and supplies will go inside the four new health centers currently under construction and the new Cherokee Nation hospital, slated for construction later this year.
In other business, the legislative body passed the following:
Resolution authorizing a grant application for youth shelter services to the U.S. Family and Youth Services Bureau in the amount of $83,333 to supplement the emergency shelter operations and supportive services of the John A. Ketcher Youth Services Center.
Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker, Deputy Chief S. Joe Crittenden and Tribal Council recognized Cherokee citizen and former Remember the Removal bike rider LaTasha Atcity, of Tahlequah, for being crowned Miss NSU. Atcity competes for the Miss Oklahoma crown next month in Tulsa.
A trio of Sequoyah High School students and their art teacher, Brandy Adair, were also recognized for placing in Cherokee Nation Indian Child Welfare's Foster Care Awareness Month art contest. Baylee Herrin, Lisan Tiger-Blair and Sharon Stanley placed first, second and third, respectively, and received prize money from Principal Chief Bill John Baker. The contest theme was "Their Tribe-Their Home-Our Future."
The next Tribal Council meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m., June 16, at the W.W. Keeler Complex in Tahlequah.

H-BC levy vote nears
HILLS -- In less than two weeks, the fate of Hills-Beaver Creek High School will rest in the hands of voters, as the district seeks a $9.9-million replacement for its current 1921 facility.
Voters in the Hills-Beaver Creek School District may vote from 5 to 8 p.m. March 9 on a bond referendum issue that would raise taxes to fund land acquisition, construction and equipping of a new, more energy-efficient high school building in Hills.
A public meeting to discuss the vote will be at 7:30 p.m. March 4 in the high school gymnasium.
The increase in taxes for a residential property is estimated at $67 per $50,000 taxable market value per year, or about $267 on a property valued at $200,000. For commercial or industrial property, the increase would be an estimated $200 per $100,000 value; and for agricultural homestead property, an estimated $334 per $400,000 value, when the value of a house, garage and one acre is assumed to be $100,000.
Voting locations are: residents of Springwater Township and the city of Beaver Creek will vote at the Beaver Creek City Hall; residents of Beaver Creek Township, Beaver Creek Township Hall; residents of the city of Steen, Steen City Hall; residents of Clinton Township, Clinton Township Hall; and residents of Martin Township and the city of Hills, Hills Legion Hall.
The school board also approved a resolution calling for the issuance of school building bonds in an amount not to exceed $9.9 million at its meeting earlier this month.
The school board will canvass the election results at 7 p.m. March 11 in the high school library.

The following user(s) said Thank You: benj, Shannon Ditto
Newbie here. I started listening to this wonderful BBC rendition of "King Lear" on my iTouch. Great stuff. I followed along with the text from the App you folks made, which made it easy to follow (esp with the list of Personae Dramatis).
However, the only controls visible on the QuickTime player were: Play/Pause, Volume and "Done". So, after I' listened to about half of the over 2hours, when something made my iTouch hang, there was NO WAY to resume at the place the audio had stopped. There was no progress bar showing how far along the audio was, and no "thumb" to drag to move the audio over that first hour. I have to admit I was too tired to listen to the first hour AGAIN in order to hear the rest.
Is this a problem with my iTouch?
OR, is the limitation because of some flag set within the file itself, or something else about how the website sets up the download? (Which could be fixed?)
I know I just joined, so maybe there is an FAQ I missed... But could someone take a look and let me know?
BTW, I think the iPhone/iTouch App is wonderful! It makes my Shakespeare class much easier, being able to follow the text or look up a quote quickly.
Much Thanks,
The administrator has disabled public write access.
Do you mean the iPod Touch? We have no control over the interface in your player. But you should be able to skip/fast forward to the place it hung.
The files are regular sound files. There are no flags, protections, or anything in the files.
The administrator has disabled public write access.
Yes, it is the iPod Touch. That's very weird. Any other mp3 plays with all controls showing.
Does anyone know if there is a setting on my iPod Touch which will fix this? I'd dearly like to know!
Thanks so much for the quick response.
The administrator has disabled public write access.
Sorry for the delayed response. Missed this thread.
I don't think there's a setting in your iPod Touch to fix that. You might try playing the file on your desktop computer to make sure it was downloaded properly. Otherwise Apple Support might be your best bet.
The administrator has disabled public write access.
Thank you for the idea. At least it is something to try.
Alas, the class has ended, and my focus has moved on. However! I will be back to try again sometime in the future. Shakespeare is eternal and will merely wait for me to return when I need him again.
Thank you all for your hard work on the App. It is much appreciated by many.

Heart and Money in San Francisco
Tony Bennett may have left his heart in San Francisco, but visitors are leaving their money there as well.
Tourists have long had a love affair with the city by the bay. San Francisco routinely gets high marks from visitors for its stunning beauty, great restaurants and easy lifestyles. Now the numbers back it up.
According to the San Francisco Travel Association, a record 25 million visitors graced this hilly city last year, spending $9.5 billion. And 5.8 million of those visitors came to San Francisco on business. It certainly is a great way to write off a trip and pretend it is all work and no play.
San Francisco is also home to a huge collection of tech companies such as Facebook, Salesforce, Uber and Twitter. It just hosted Super Bowl 50 and its Golden State Warriors are on a roll. It all sounds so perfect except for one big bad side effect, traffic. It now rivals Los Angeles and New York for congestion. So enjoy your visit, but pack your patience.

Will Venable Wednesday night said his girlfriend, Kathryn Miller, "doesn't know a lot about baseball."
But she knows Will Venable.
And as she watched Venable strike out in his only at-bat Tuesday night, she made a mental note. Venable's stance was wider than normal.
"She pointed it out to me when we talked last night," Venable said Wednesday after the fourth, four-hit game of his career fueled the Padres 9-5 win over the Mets before 39,589 at Citi Field.
"I went back and looked at the tape and there it was."
So Venable adjusted his stance and went 4-for-5 with two doubles and a triple – falling a home run shy of becoming the first Padre ever to hit for the cycle.
Venable scored three runs and was one of seven Padres to drive in a run.
Venable's big night pushed his average to a season-high .270, made him 11-for-21 through six games of a 10-game road trip and was the highlight of a long climb from a .224 start that got him exiled to Triple-A Tucson in May.
Since returning from the minors, Venable has hit .322 (38-for-118).
Once again, he's making a late-season rush that has the Padres front office pondering where the athletically gifted 28-year-old fits in the Padres future.
He's too old to still be viewed as a prospect. But everyone is convinced he hasn't reached his potential.
Meantime, the list of outfield candidates for 2012 is growing and includes Cameron Maybin, Kyle Blanks, James Darnell, Chris Denorfia, Aaron Cunningham and perhaps Jesus Guzman.
And Venable is arbitration eligible after this season.
The Venable of today is a keeper. But the Venable who is prone to slow starts is a question. What is different now than earlier in the season?
"I see him taking good swings on fastballs and laying off the garbage," said Padres manager Bud Black. "He's on a nice run. He's using the entire field (his doubles were down the line in left and to left center while the triple was a booming first-inning drive to right).
"He has to do it consistently. That is the trick for Will."
"It's great to get going," said Venable. "It's disappointing not getting off to better starts. But things are going good right now."
Venable was hitting .189 on May 3 despite starting 22 of the season's first 31 games. Even after returning from Tucson, he was hitting only .242 at the All-Star break.
Since then, he has batted .362 (21-for-58) with four doubles, three triples and a home run mainly in a platoon role against right-handed pitchers.
While Venable's game stood out last night, he certainly wasn't alone.
"It has to come from everyone," said Black. "A couple of guys aren't going to carry us."
And Wednesday night, it certainly did.
Three of the RBI by seven different players came on sacrifice flies – by Jason Bartlett, Alberto Gonzalez and Cameron Maybin, who was the only Padre to get two RBI.
Jesus Guzman extended his hitting streak to 11 straight games with two hits. He scored two runs, including the final Padre run on a double steal. Kyle Blanks scored two runs as his hit in the sixth straight game of the road trip.
Blanks is now 11-for-23 on the road trip with three doubles, a triple, two homers, seven RBI and eight runs scored. Venable is 11-for-21 with three doubles, two triples, five RBI and eight runs scored. Guzman is 11-for-28 with two doubles, a homer, seven RBI, three steals and eight runs scored. And Jason Bartlett has driven in at least one run in seven straight games.
Aaron Harang picked up his 11th win of the season, although he gave up three runs on 10 hits and two walks in 5 2/3 innings.
Although the Padres kept adding to their lead, the Mets brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth after a Logan Forsythe error at second allowed the fifth run to score. But the game ending with Forsythe making a leaping catch of a Willie Harris liner.
*Padres notes
--Orlando Hudson watched from the dugout Wednesday a night after suffering a "mild" right groin strain Tuesday. But the second baseman wasn't placed on the 15-day disabled list for the third time this season. Black said he was "cautiously optimistic" that Hudson could avoid the disabled list. "We're going to watch him a few days," said Black. "We're okay in the infield (Logan Forsythe, James Darnell and Alberto Gonzalez)

Don't get too stirred by the chatter over the homoerotic encounter between James Bond and the villainous Silva in Skyfall, Daniel Craig says a gay 007 is not on the horizon.
The just-released blockbuster features a much-discussed flirtatious scene between Craig's Secret Service agent and a sexually ambiguous former agent played by Javier Bardem, who caresses 007's chest. The ruggedly handsome Craig is adamant when asked by E! Online's Marc Malkin if he envisions a future caper in which Bond is portrayed as gay.
"No," he says firmly. "Because he's not gay. And I don't think Javier's character is either—I think he'd fuck anything."

PSG ready to seal Pastore
Leonardo has confirmed that PSG hope to conclude the record signing of Javier Pastore in the coming days.
By Nadia Carminati
Last Updated: 01/08/11 9:18am
Paris Saint Germain chief Leonardo has confirmed that the club hope to conclude the record signing of Javier Pastore in the coming days.
PSG have beaten Chelsea to the signature of the Palermo ace, who is due to complete a plus €40million move to the French capital.
Palermo have already confirmed a deal is in place, and now sporting director Leonardo has confirmed the move is imminent.
"Pastore is not officially our player yet", Leonardo told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"And until the end of the negotiations you can never consider discount anything.
"But the good relationship with Palermo allow us to think positively.
"I count on being able to present Pastore in the first days of the week."

Steele, Marion volleyball teams back on track
Published 6:10 pm, Tuesday, October 15, 2013
The Steele Lady Knights are on the threshold of recapturing the district volleyball title that eluded them last year, while the Marion Lady Bulldogs are on track to repeat as district champions, despite suffering their first district defeat in three seasons.
District volleyball is winding down throughout the Metrocom, as teams begin to jockey for playoff positions or attempt to lock down district titles.
Steele has taken the court this year against some of the city's best teams, including Brennan, Incarnate Word, Churchill, O'Connor, New Braunfels, Smithson Valley and Judson. While wins against the top programs were few, the experience gained on the court has helped prepare the Lady Knights for their district run.

Since District 28-5A play began Sept. 27, the Lady Knights have not dropped a set, winning all five of their matches by identical 3-0 scores — including a 25-22, 25-14, 25-16 win over Corpus Christi Carroll, which beat Steele twice last year to capture the district crown with a 9-1 record, to Steele's 8-2 mark.
The Knights (21-15, 5-0) currently have a one-game lead over 4-1 East Central, with Carroll in third, at 3-2. Steele opened round two play at Corpus Christi King Tuesday and travel to play South San on Friday.
District losses do not come easily or frequently for the Marion Lady Bulldogs. With two consecutive undefeated seasons in district behind them (12-0 in 2011 and 14-0 last year), the Lady Bulldogs were upended by the Randolph Lady Ro-Hawks in the third game of the District 29-2A season on their home court, dropping the fifth game 17-15 to the upstart Ro-Hawks.
But the Lady Bulldogs have used that moment as a springboard, sweeping to seven consecutive 3-0 victories. The Lady Bulldogs play three of their last four games on the road, including Tuesday's road trip to Dilley and a season-ending Oct. 25 rematch with the Ro-Hawks in Ro-Hawk gym.
With one of its tallest and most talented teams in a decade, the Judson Lady Rockets knew where they wanted to finish the season before it began — first or second in District 25-5A.
Coach Rachel Torvik gave two reasons for the goal: Finishing first or second means the Rockets will have vanquished the likes of district foes Smithson Valley, New Braunfels or New Braunfels Canyon; and, by finishing in one of the top two spots, Judson would be able to escape a first-round playoff match-up with either Churchill or Reagan out of District 26-5A.
However, at the halfway point in district play, Judson stands 2-3, with wins over Seguin and Wagner and losses to the aforementioned trio, Smithson Valley, New Braunfels and New Braunfels Canyon. The Lady Rockets opened the second half of 26-5A play Tuesday against Wagner, but must quickly prepare for Friday's home match against the Smithson Valley Lady Rangers, who stand at 3-2 in 25-5A and hold the same 1-2 finish desire as Judson.
That match begins at 6 p.m. in the Judson High gym.
After bursting out to a 15-3 start and accumulating a 22-6 record heading into district play, the Clemens Lady Buffaloes circled early November on their calendar. Holding practices in November generally means a team has reached the playoffs, which have escaped the Lady Buffs for the past handful of years.
But the promising start deteriorated quickly as the Buffs came up against District 27-4A rival Alamo Heights, who were 22-8 and fresh off an astounding upset of the Reagan Rattlers, the city's no. 2-ranked 5A team.
Things did not go according to plans for the Buffs, who dropped the three-game match, 25-14, 25-9, 25-19 to the Lady Mules. Over the next three weeks, Clemens dropped to 1-5 but has since seen a rebound of sorts, winning two of their past three matches. Clemens now sits at 3-6, tied with Seguin for fifth place in the 27-4A standings.
After facing district doormat Lehman Tuesday, the Lady Buffs travel to face third-place Buda Hays (6-3) before hosting fourth-place Kerrville Tivy (5-4). Those two games will go far in determining the relevance of Clemens' final two games, at Boerne Champion and at Lockhart, and whether Clemens will indeed need to be practicing into the second week of November.

The votes are in and Assemblywoman Laura Richardson won the majority vote in the primary for the 37th Congressional District on Tuesday June 26 behind a united coalition of Black elected officials, labor unions and community supporters.
With all precincts reporting, Richardson received 37.8 percent of the votes compared to her closest competitor, Jenny Oropeza, who received 31.3 percent. She outdistanced Oropeza by nearly 2,000 votes with a final tally of 11,027 to 9,144.
Valerie McDonald, the daughter of the late Congresswoman Juanita Millender-McDonald, finished in third place with 9.4 percent of the votes, 2,743 total.
"I'm extremely grateful and thankful," Richardson said, addressing the crowd. "This is all about representing people. When you have an opportunity to go the U.S. House of Representatives, it's to represent people and that's what this race has been about."
Because Richardson did not win 50 percent of the majority vote, there will be a run-off between her and her closest Republican opponent, John Kanaley on August 21. However, because the 37th District is mostly Democratic, she is expected to win easily and advance to her place in the House of Representatives.
Supporters gathered at the Home Depot Center's Stadium Club to celebrate her victory, including the large number of Black elected officials who decided early on to rally behind one candidate.
Councilman Isadore Hall of Compton stated how important this was when he said that they "were able to get elected officials and leaders who have not worked together for a long time to come together under one united front to support Laura Richardson."
Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally called it "one of the most united coalitions that I have ever experienced in his political career."
"It is a testimony to her ability and willingness to work hard for this job," Dymally said.
The strength of this campaign was Richardson's ability to quickly unite a diverse group of supporters behind her. The victory may have been surprising to some, but in their minds, it was their victory almost as much as hers.
"This is a victory for working families," said Maria Elena Durazo, executive secretary for the County Federation of Labor. "They shared resources at every level and made sure the best candidate won."
Councilman Herb Wesson praised the campaign for its partnership between labor and elected officials and said that it was by far the best-run campaign team.
"It was a textbook campaign," Wesson said.
It was indeed a campaign that her mentor, Congresswoman McDonald, would have been proud of. It was McDonald, who passed away in April from colon cancer, that gave Richardson her first break into public office and when asked about following in her footsteps, she paused and asked for a moment on silence in her memory.
"When a lot of people gave up on me, the Congresswoman gave me a chance," she said, "She embraced me, she taught me…and one thing she was committed to was developing other young leaders to coming behind her."
At McDonald's funeral, Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman urged the Black leaders to "send us a bad sister" to fill her seat. In Richardson, they found someone who is more than capable of carrying on McDonald's legacy.
"We have someone who can step in her shoes and continue her vision and her legacy in the 37th Congressional District," said Carson Councilman Mike Gipson.
The crowd was treated to a celebratory call from Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Despite receiving the news at almost 2:30 a.m., Waters was excited to welcome the new addition to Congress and gave her thoughts on how important the victory will be.
"This election means we are strong and we are providing the kind of leadership that will keep our communities well-represented for many years to come," Waters said.
Dymally then told Waters to tell Congresswoman Kilpatrick that "you are bringing a bad sister to Washington," a reference to Kilpatrick's comments at the funeral.
In telling the jubilant crowd of supporters that she could not have won the election with the support of the Los Angeles Sentinel, Richardson responded to the doubters who did not put much faith in her campaign.
"We all know that most people didn't think this would happen," she told the crowd, "But it was because of all the people who are in this room who did their part. Everybody in this room did something and that's why we see the results that we see.
"This race was not about Laura," she continued, "It was about making sure we had someone from our community who knew our community, who had experienced the issues of our community and who is committed to delivering for the community."

RCMP released the names yesterday of a couple slain in their quiet rural B.C. home on Monday, deaths police are treating as a targeted double-homicide.
Police were called to an acreage on Greenwood Drive, northwest of Mission, around 4:45 p.m. on Monday for reports of two people in medical distress. Inside, they found a gruesome scene - the badly injured Lisa Cheryl Dudley, 37, and the dead body of her live-in partner, 33-year-old Guthrie Jolan McKay.
Paramedics attempted to revive Ms. Dudley, who had been shot, but she died in an air ambulance heading to hospital.
RCMP said yesterday the couple had been living in the home in which they were found, and called their deaths "a targeted murder."
A friend of Mr. McKay's said in an e-mail yesterday the man met Ms. Dudley less than two years ago, and had been married to another woman at the time.
Mr. McKay and Ms. Dudley, both of whom were avid motorcyclists, began seeing each other soon after. The friend, who did not want his name published, said Mr. McKay had worked as a skilled labourer, and had spent less time with his friends since getting together with Ms. Dudley about one year ago.
Mr. McKay was a "funny guy, always laughing, competitive," who did not have a history of violence, the friend said.
Autopsies are scheduled for later this week. Police will say only that Ms. Dudley had "a gunshot injury," but haven't said how she died. No details about Mr. McKay's death are being released. RCMP Corporal Dale Carr said the police strategy, dubbed "holdback," is to withhold information so that any public tips, or even confessions, can easily be identified as legitimate.
No arrests have been made.

The third Annual Wine and Dine with the Earthquakes held at Guglielmo Winery in Morgan Hill was another booming success, bringing in $40,000 through a live auction, silent auction and raffle. Attended by players, coaching staff and over 150 fans, all proceeds from the event went to the Earthquakes Community Fund.
The event featured a buffet dinner courtesy of Cosmopolitan Catering, live auction, raffle and grape stomp as well as celebrity bartending from Earthquakes players. Guests enjoyed a tasting selection of Guglielmo's red and white wines while mingling with players and coaching staff.
For the third year in a row, Quakes president Dave Kaval presided over the live auction ceremony, delivering speeches and recognizing players for their continued involvement in the community. During the live auction, guests were able to bid on numerous items, including pieces from Quakes' defender Jordan Stewart's clothing line, a VIP experience at Levi's Stadium, Yannick Djalo game-worn signed cleats, private soccer clinics with midfielder Shea Salinas and more. Three bidders got to participate in a grape stomp with the Quakes player or coach of their choice. We'd like to congratulate our 2014 grape stomp winner, Kevin McLelland, and his partner Earthquakes midfield Sam Cronin!
New to this year's event was the "Fund A Cause" which raised enough money to purchase 280 soccer balls for our Summer Soccer Clinic Series.
All proceeds from the event benefited the Earthquakes Community Fund. A certified 501(c)3 charity, the San Jose Earthquakes Community Fund facilitates and supports programs that produce positive change for children and families in our community with an emphasis on health and fitness.

The BBC, in which every UK household has a £150 share in order to ensure the director general Mark "bound to soon be a sir or maybe even a lord" Thompson has a huge salary and gives the public wonderful repeats, has decided that, with the impending retirement of the National Lottery Lucky Number ticket draw, it is now time to give some fresh lack of talent a chance to host the ticket draw show.
From next month, a new unknown woman will be replacing the current unknown Scottish woman to present the lottery and push the big fake button prior to the draw-master in his white gloves pushing the real button on the machine.
The unknown Scottish woman who took over from the previous unknown woman, will now be going on to further her career as a professional guest wearing a low cut top in either some moronic talent show with unqualified judges, or a quite unnecessary reality show hosted by two short men from Newcastle.
Speaking at a press conference, one of the unknown women said she was thrilled that another unknown woman was taking over this vital task.
"It is important for unknown women to gain valuable experience prior to commencing their careers on to the minority television channels irritating viewers with vacuous comments about the main event an hour earlier on the main channel".
Holly Willoughby works for the BBT (Beautiful But Thick) and ITN (Irritation The Norm).

Ported vs Non-Ported
Ok, I'm sure this is a very stupid newbie shotgun question, but what is the major difference between ported and non-ported shotguns.
I was at a gun store yesterday and a sales guy came over when he saw me looking at a used 870. He asked me if I was interested in a non-ported shotgun as he had an 835 which was very reasonably priced ($150). Knowing what porting does to a handgun, but not sure if it was the same thing with a shotgun, I asked the sales guy what was the difference.
Well, the sales guy rolled his eyes, looked at the ceiling and walked away. Didn't bother me much because his prices were higher then other stores anyway. Figure I'd piss him off though and continued to look at his stock before mentioning that his prices where higher as I walked out the door.
You know, sometimes I just don't get people. Do they figure you should know everything about everything before coming to thier store. At least there are great places like this forum for unknowing individuals, like myself, where someone can get real answers to question we don't know.

It does the same thing on a shotgun. It keeps the muzzle down and takes out a little recoil. I think it totally useless on a gun for hunting or defense. The extra noise will damage your hearing as well as anyone hunting with you. The flash in low light right through your focus is annoying and can blind you temporarily. For targets and competition it is nice. Ported guns and chokes are not allowed in my hunting circles, it simply isn't worth it to go deaf.
Just my opinion.
Oh yeah, to heck with that gunshop guy. Seems like you get highschool kids that don't know much about anything or a rude know-it-all at gunstores anymore. I pay a little more sometimes to have decent help.

Erick, your point is duly noted. I do not have experience with the Vang system in any form. My apologies.
My answer above stems from experience with common commercial porting and standard porting from the major manufacturers for use on sporting type shotguns. In regard to guns off the rack my opinion stands, but a defensive specific porting could be much better for flash and noise. Thanks for the info.

To port or not to port...
I don't care for it myself, therefore I do not do it. I guess you never know until you try one for yourself. However, I have never been on a hunt when somebody was using one. They don't go over too well in my circle I guess. To each his own.
As for the counter ninja, sounds like a real jerk. And not too much of a salesman either. A good salesman's eyes would have lit up! At least he didn't take advantage of the situation and instruct you to buy a more expensive ported model. I would NEVER spend money at any place where an employee/owner rolled their eyes at me. And I would tell everyone else I know about how you were treated.

I've fired both ported and non-ported O/U shotguns and can't tell a difference when shooting them. I can definitly tell a difference when I'm on the line with a ported barrel, though...and it's not good.

The biggest difference between ported and non ported shotguns is $150-300.
I doubt the reduction of recoil is noticeable. I know that some ported guns, including the 835, are much louder than even Frankenstein, with it's 21" bbl. Some aren't, tho I've little experience with VANG stuff.
My guess, one can add 4 oz to the weight of the shotgun and get the same reduction in kick, and a little work on form will do as much for muzzle lift and kick.
If one HAS to spend money on bbl mods, have the cone done. At least that'll improve patterns a bit...

"Opinions are like *** *****. Everybody has one and most of them stink." "The opinions expressed here are worth excatly what you pay for them, including mine."
Several large agencies use Vang Comped 14" barrels with ports. They claim that the ports act as a flash suppresser. What do they know? They are just cops.
Experience is what you get when you were expecting something else.

Ported barrels-Thumbs down
Whatever else they may or may not do, ported shotgun barrels:
1. increase peripheral noise and blast and
2. sometimes send bits of hot, sharp lead frags laterally.
I prefer not to shoot skeet or sporting clays in the company of ported barrels and if somebody shows up to hunt with one, the dog and I are going a different direction.
Now a barrel of Port... That's a different matter.

I agree with Dave McC.
Not just becase his name is Dave, but I've had the same experience. I have both and I honestly cannot tell the difference in recoil, noise or flash. I'm not even sure it makes any appreciable difference in muzzle rize. Although, I have not tried the 3.5" mags yet either.
Just my 2 cents.

Since I have never launched a website before, I definately needed help getting set up. The staff of web hosting hub offered excellent service and provided me with all the information I needed. They were friendly and took there time in explaining things to me which was really helpful :) I ended up talking to 2 people over the phone and also had a web chat with another member of staff. Overall I'm really glad I registered with Web Hosting Hub because I am now reassured that there will always be someone to help me when I'm having trubbles with my site :)

The Wizard's Hat is part of the ensemble worn by the wizard cartoon adorning Linux Gazette's pages and representing this column up until around issue 56 or so.
The Robes and Orb have been enjoying their retirement since we got the new template for the site settled in, but the Hat has stayed pretty active, even if working in the background. You can bet he knows a lot of stuff - every time someone says "keep it under your hat" it's just another tidbit to file away for later.
Taking up the slack, the Pipe has long been a symbol of introspection and study. You'll most often find the Pipe indulging in detangling shell commands for less patient souls, and messing around under the hood of more complicated system scripts. During the off time, Pipes have been known to be taken with a bit of music...
The web surf has been up since ages ago, and this Surfboard has been here to enjoy it all. Once just considered a beach bum, now I get paid to roam the digital seas, design apps, tame the wild radio waves and dig the Suncoast.
When the scissors popped into the break room looking for everyone, this brewski was just enjoying some ginger snaps and some free time. Knowing that it'll just be a short while until everyone's returned and it's back to the case, the Beer eagerly chimed in to help out.
Beer turned on to Linux around the same time Tux got involved; they'd virtually been drinking buddies.
Dolavimus the platypus adorned t-shirts in the heyday of Linux 1.x, plugging "Guerilla Linux Development" and delving, or maybe dolaving, deep in the code. Overseeing the TCP/IP stack revamp and seeing a new view on the whole modular subsystem are among his finer programming efforts.
Tux's family resemblance can definitely be seen in the chin.
Inheriting a cheerful red scribble nature from Dolavimus, the Swirl is a dyed-in-it Debian advocate. (What a surprise.) He can be found at installfests just about anywhere, and knows quite enough about enough architectures, packages, and generally curious stuff about Linux to make you dizzy.
Tux was drawn by Larry Ewing using the GIMP. Satisfying himself with herring (pickled or otherwise) and sailing around the world to star in photo galleries (see Linux Weekly News' Penguin Gallery among others) have given him a broad perspective, lots of experience, and an amazing number of cousins. Tux has also been involved in a large number of menu setups... you just have to know where to start, and keep control in your corner. It's rumored he is quite popular with the lady penguins.
The Magic Wand has been using Linux since the days when it was considered magic to get Linux working. He took up with modern day distros in the age of Infomagic and is pretty well known these days by Mandrake users everywhere. As handy with the 'file' command as he ever was, nowadays the Wand prefers programming in an object oriented style.
I'd say I'm pretty bright. My name's a mouthful (Licht Bülb) so most folk just call me Idea which is easier to say. After I get my own darkness lit up, I enjoy passing the clue on to others. I've been known to pick up the laser once in a while to point something out, and of course I'm fond of movies.
The Scissors normally hang out around the Editor's desks trying to make sure the goodies that make it in aren't too snippy to Make Linux A Little More Fun. This time, they're cutting in on behalf of the readers. Scissors know that Linux is great stuff, but it's not always a software problem that really needs to be solved.
Pretzel perked up at the chance to escape the break room for a while, chime in which a few salty comments, and generally show a crisp new look on things. Not everyone understands his twisted point of view, but that's okay. Like Pretzel, linux itself comes in all shapes and sizes.
Konqi certainly knows his graphical environments. A genuinely helpful sort who is not inclined to waste words, he can usually be found when you need him to debug something.
Amanda the Panda enjoys a rather different look on the desktop, and a different take on life than most of us here in the Gang. It was another AMANDA that went to MIT, but she still agrees that it's important to keep good backups.
This Feather had mastered the ways of web servers before they really started painting up the graphics. Now there's a feather in every cap and the Feather has emigrated to the sunny lands of the southwest. In his spare time he has been known to write rather eloquently in the hands of the Answer Gang.

Polis: IRFA better for artists, consumers — Sources: FCC has votes for Softbank-Sprint-Clearwire deal — PK: FCC should look closely at Verizon Fire Island petition — NAB: Nothing can replace broadcast
With help from Jessica Meyers
POLIS: IRFA BETTER FOR ARTISTS, CONSUMERS — Rep. Jared Polis, the Democrat co-sponsor of the royalty reform measure that stirred up the music industry last fall, says that his bill with Rep. Jason Chaffetz installs a better deal for artists and listeners — just not the other recording industry players. "The only people who don't do better are people in the middle," he told MT. "Artists will be able to have their works reach a broader audience at a lower price and consumers will be able to pay a lower price because you no longer need all these intermediaries that don't add as much value along the way." The issue blew up again last week, as Pandora and the RIAA partners sniped back and forth over a recording industry contention that the Internet radio company wants to cut artist royalties by 85 percent. Says Polis on that figure: "People can make up whatever numbers they want, but fundamentally artists will do better and consumers will do better."
Story Continued Below
The bill hasn't been re-introduced yet, but Polis said proponents are working the Hill — and doing so from all directions. "We're out there educating members, the outside advocacy groups are educating members," he said. "The grandkids of members are educating members — and that's the most potent of all."
BUT LEST YOU THINK POLIS IS TRASHING THE TECH SAVVY OF FELLOW LAWMAKERS with that last quip, make sure you catch his appearance on C-SPAN's "The Communicators" this week, where he says things are actually getting better on that front: "I think members of Congress are becoming more and more net savvy. I see members with iPhones and all sorts of devices that are doing things and running apps and using Skype," he said. "It's certainly not universal yet, but I don't think Congress is too far behind the curve of the general population, and hopefully catching up." More here from him and Reps. Justin Amash and Michael Capuano: http://cs.pn/13pwEyN
FCC HAS THE VOTES FOR SOFTBANK-SPRINT-CLEARWIRE APPROVAL, SOURCES SAY — Pro's Brooks Boliek reports: "Official approval of the deal should come soon, the sources tell POLITICO. The last steps involve GOP Commissioner Ajit Pai, who has circulated recommendations for changes to the order to the other two commissioners....Pai doesn't have problems with the overall shape of the deal that allows the Japanese wireless giant SoftBank to take over Sprint and Sprint to purchase the portion of Clearwire it doesn't already own, sources indicate. But he does have concerns over language in the FCC's proposed order that could hamstring future decisions tied to a measurement used to determine wireless licenses."

FIRST LOOK: FCC NEEDS TO LOOK CLOSELY AT POST-DISASTER NETWORK REBUILD, PK SAYS — Advocacy group Public Knowledge is making the case today for the FCC to carefully weigh applications like one from Verizon that would install a more modern phone system in the wake of natural disasters. Verizon wants to set up its wireless Voice Link system in places like Fire Island, where Hurricane Sandy decimated the more traditional copper phone networks. But doing so could disrupt the availability of services that rely on incumbent networks, like collect calls and fax machines, the group says — so the FCC needs to consider whether customers in damaged areas are getting short-changed: "Verizon may have been the first phone provider to replace wireline infrastructure with fixed wireless or VoIP service after a disaster, but it will likely not be the last," the post this morning says. "There must be processes in place to guide these transitions, determine which new services are adequate to replace the traditional services customers have relied upon, and inform the public about what these new services can and can't provide." Have a look after 9 a.m.: http://bit.ly/17GDy2a
NAB: NOTHING CAN REPLACE BROADCASTING IN TIMES OF CRISIS — Lawmakers may be out of town this week, but the top group representing broadcasting interests is hitting the Hill with a video laying out the argument that its medium is of critical value when natural disasters hit. NAB is sending the six-minute film, in which Oklahoma broadcasters talk about their coverage of the May tornadoes, to the Oklahoma congressional delegation, the FCC, and lawmakers on the Commerce, Judiciary and Homeland Security committees. Washington, of course, is in the middle of setting up incentive auctions that would repurpose some broadcasters' spectrum for more wireless broadband. But the NAB film's message is pretty clear: Don't write off over-the-air TV and radio as old media. The video and more, here: http://bit.ly/17GBxmH

NET COMPANIES, ACTIVISTS PITCH JULY 4 DEMONSTRATION AS MOMENTUM BUILDER — A consortium of Internet rights groups and websites are planning to make their own fireworks this Independence Day with protests against government surveillance. The question for policy types: What exactly will it accomplish? Some lawmakers want more transparency in terms of the NSA's authority to intercept communications, and others want to tweak its records-collection program to make sure the government has a good reason to look through metadata — but largely, Congress doesn't seem interested right now in altering the programs.
The idea, organizers said Tuesday, is to keep the NSA storyline at top of mind as policymakers and the public enter their second month in a post-disclosure world. Organizers say they have a list of supporters 500,000 names strong, and plan to set up meetings with lawmakers and constituents. Jessica Meyers has more for Pros: http://politico.pro/12ce6vK
ICANN COMMITTEE HEEDS ADVICE FOR gTLD SAFEGUARDS, WINS CHEERS — Domain name stakeholders this week have pretty good things to say about a decision from ICANN's gTLD committee that adopts advice on how to keep new Internet suffixes free from abusive activity like phishing or copyright infringement. The advice, submitted in April from the organization's governmental advisory committee, suggests routine checks to make sure domain purchasers are fully and honestly explaining who and where they are and to confirm that domains aren't fostering malware and the like.
The committee's response, FairWinds Partners CEO Nao Matsukata tells MT, indicates that ICANN is giving the green light to open gTLDs (top level domains that anyone can purchase) and wants to hear more discussion over how to handle closed gTLDs (those that wouldn't be open to the public.) But that's not necessarily bad news for closed gTLD applicants: "What I'm reading their action and next steps to be is further consultation with the GAC to find a way to get these closed generics delegated," he said. "They really want to work with the GAC to potentially find compromises." The Software and Information Industry Association, too, was happy with the committee's move.

As promised in a previous article, today I will look into the E-Commerce King: Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) as an option to eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY).
Growing the Old-Fashioned Way
Years ago the company was the biggest bookstore in the world, in the recent years it has expanded into a number of other product categories allowing other businesses and individuals to sell new, used and collectible products on its Web sites through its Merchant and Amazon Marketplace programs. The company has organized its operations into two principal segments: North America (57% of 2012 net sales) and International (43%). In the last quarter the company recorded earnings that were in-line with Zacks estimates, so let´s have a look at main drivers for the upcoming quarters.
Long Term Growth Opportunities
The industry pattern has shifted from catalog to internet sales as consumers are increasingly buying things online. Forrester Research projects that U.S. e-commerce sales will increase from $231 billion in 2012 to $370 billion in 2016. So the growth of the e-commerce industry demonstrates strong potential for increased Internet usage and e-commerce sales abroad which we consider a key factor for the company in this fast-growing market.
Double-Digit Growth
Due to significant opportunity within emerging markets (like India, China, and Brazil) the international segment could boost earnings in the next quarters. It is essential for the company develops and operates the buying process to increase e-commerce, in a platform like Paypal´s from eBay.
In terms of valuation, the stock sells at a trailing P/E of 1349x, trading at a premium compared to the industry average of 18.2x. We have to take into consideration that a higher P/E ratio than its peers can signify a more expensive stock or higher growth expectations. Analysts' expectations imply a forward P/E of 143.52. To use another metric, its price-to-book ratio of 19.5 indicates a premium versus the industry average of 1.7x (a higher price-to-book ratio makes a stock less attractive) and the price-to-sales ratio of 2.51x is above the industry average of 0.73x.
Investors care about total returns, which consist of share-price appreciation plus dividends paid, which in this stock does not apply. In terms of stock price appreciation, Amazon's stock price is up 67.3% in the last 12 months, and in a five-year period the comparison versus the SPY is tremendous as we can see it in the next chart.
Regarding profitability measures, return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA) are at negative levels. We have seen the evolution for the prior ten years of ROE in a previous article.
Final Comment
In my point of view, an extremely important risk inherent in Amazon's business model is that it is characterized by low switching costs when shopping online. The firm must focus on technologies investments as they are key drivers for long-term growth opportunities.
Hedge fund gurus like Stanley Drucken Miller, Steve Mandel and Murray Stahl bought this stock. Meanwhile, Jim Simons, Louis Moore Bacon, Ken Fisher and Tom Gayner added Amazon to their existing positions. I would advise fundamental investors to consider adding this stock to theirs as well, as it seems to be an industry in a growth phase.
Disclosure: Damian Illia holds no position in any stocks mentioned.
As promised in a previous article, today I will look into the E-Commerce King: Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) as an option to eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY).

The Streets of Ciutadella II
tyro (26452) *
delpeoples 2011-11-26 16:47
Ciao John
Another cute litle sidestreet you've found yourself in. Wandering around these alleys is one of the most enjoyable things one can do when in a plce like this. Of course the first thing that hits me is the excellent management (both in-camera and post) of the light and shadow. The two extremes were evened out extremely ell. The second is the magnificent warm colours and the third would be the details of the characteristic architecture you've so ably captured. I've read up on your link, what a pity he doesn't operate on this side of the globe, although I'm sure there are many that do the same thing. What a thoughtful gift from your wife, she should get the 2 points today :)
Un abbraccio
PS: I'm off to get myself a new laptop after my poor baby cacked itself whilst away with work. Any suggestions? I've also packed off your disk hopefully it will arrive in time for Santy
To delpeoples: Thanks, Lisa, you're a darling.........
Thank you for your kind remarks once more!
I wasn't really as happy with this one as I was with my last picture from Ciutadella - the man walking through the tunnel into the open street beyond - I think that one had better lighting and composition. But, from the architecture point of view, why can't these folk in the Mediterranean bury their electric cables instead of festooning them across their beautiful buildings?
It's actually quite difficult to know exactly how much you learn from these photographic tuition holidays: it was great fun and both Yvonne (who wasn't doing the photo stuff) and myself enjoyed it immensely and we met lots of nice people there too in Menorca. Philip was a delightful fellow and his wife was lovely too - she did all the organisation 'cos Philip, in common with so many clever people, is totally disorganised and forgetful. Unfortunately, his wife, Norene, has been ill of late and had to have major cardiac surgery though I believe she is now recovering well. Interestingly, I see that, as well as doing his Menorca trips and his day and weekend courses in Kirkcudbright in southwest Scotland, he's also now planning luxury cruises on a sailing ship! Bit expensive, though.
Incidentally, did you see this picture from one of my Brit pals? I thought it was quite good and might appeal to you as it represents an invasion into your territory.
Oh, and thank you, Lisa, for sending that stuff to me: I shall look forward to getting that and with it I might be able to rescue some of my awful pictures! You're a darling!
Sorry to hear that your laptop decided to turn tits up - is it totally dead or can you retrieve some of the stuff on it? I'm not that great with computers and, unfortunately, am not in the habit of saving all my stuff on a regular basis. Yvonne's laptop packed in a few months ago but it was a simple problem with the wiring from the charge socket and I managed to fix that with my skilfull (?) use of a soldering iron. Best of luck!
Un abbraccio,

Long story short...
My sister cheated on her husband (she'll deny it to his face for life thought). The friend that she confided in went crazy because she has always wanted to get with my sister's husband. She freaked out and told him and my sister denied it all.
This friend of my sister's name I dont know, but HER DAUGHTER"S name is Olivia. I didn't know this when I told my sister I was naming my baby girl (due in two weeks) Olivia months ago.
My sister told me that if I didn't change the name that she "had nothing more to say to me...EVER" over a text. A text! And that was about three 1/2 months ago. And she still won't talk to me. She doesn't pick up her phone, she doesn't call back. She doesn't even ask my mom how I'm doing. I miss my neice and nephew (they're my life). I miss my sister. I'm so hurt and I don't understand why she's being so immature and selfish.
She cheated on her husband and a crazy woman's DAUGTHER's name is Olivia so I'm supposed to tell my fiance that he can't name his little girl Olivia? I don't think so. That's ridiculous. We had the name picked out for months and it just rolls off our tongues now, that's our daughter's name! Maybe if I had a clue taht my sister would react this way I wouldn't have chosen it but I had no idea. I don't even know that woman...or her kid!
wow.. sorry to hear you are going thru this. my sister and i are in the same type of place.
it's gonna hurt , but i don't think you can do anything to change her outlook. even if you did change the name you were to name your daughter would it change how she is acting? or would act in the future? this is HER thing. she needs to work thru it. it has nothing to do with you. sounds like YOU have tried contacting her? have you tried writing a letter? has your mom tried talking to her on your behalf? what does anyone else in your family think about this? the alleged affair aside, what do they think?
it took me about 10 years of trying to have a better relationship with my sister, suggesting counseling for both of us together to have a better relationship. i told her that we have spent the first 38 years of our lives like this i dind't want to spend the next 30+ years like this. but she wasn't having any of it. i can appologize for things she feels i have done wrong to her 20 YEARS AGO.. that i don't even remember..but she says too liitle too late. so it does hurt alot ! but i finally gave up after this past thanksgiving and christmas and puting my dad thru another holiday WITH HER. because i force my dad to have holidays with her bc i think we are family we should be together. but i've had it.. i haven't talked to her since christmas and she hasn't contacted me either. next christmas/thanksgiving no one will be calling her , changing all their schedules to fit hers just so we can all be together and my dad will finally just go to vegas for the holidays(like he has threatened for the past 16 years since my mom died..lol) and i've always talked him out of it..lol lol. not this year! ok sorry. that was my rant on your post.. ;-\ but as you can see, , it WILL hurt and frustrate you for some time..lol lol
sorry ;... i wish you luck
Some people are sooo selfish! I bet if you continue to pursue her, she'll eventually get over it. Just don't give up, sometimes things that we really want/need take a little while to come to us, but don't ever give up!
