Our Logik TV is playing up and is just over 12 months old. I am taking it back to Curry's but everyone in the UK should note the Sale of Goods Act and what it says about durability. If there is a fault that isn't a result of wear and tear, there is a good chance it was there at time of purchase (particularly as many people on this site have similiar problems). The Act recommends around 6 years as a reasonable time for a product to last, but you could even argue a TV should last longer, especially if it has limited use. Currys would have to repair (and pick up the set, under the act (I think)), or give you a proportinate refund for the fault, or give you a replacement set of the same age (working, of course). Google Sales of Goods Act and check it out. This is irrespective of warranty - the Act overides contract.

[pullquote quote="My guts are all over these songs." credit="Adam Duritz"]Their first release since Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings in '08, Underwater Sunshine is stacked with obscure covers from Bob Dylan to Big Star. The album was recorded over two weeks late last spring and features songs hand picked by Adam Duritz, plus new versions of songs from the pre-Counting Crows era groups, The Tender Mercies and Sordid Humor. "If you wonder why we didn't just write our own record, it's simply because we wanted to do THIS one," says singer/songwriter Adam Duritz. "These songs come from bands young and old, stretching from the early 60s to last year. They're all great and will hopefully be heard by a few more people now."
Stream the album below and take home the download bundle that the Crows made available via BitTorrent this week.

Watch a Mailman Get Run Over by His Own Truck [VIDEO]
This caught my eye because my dad was a mailman for about 100 years. Luckily, he never did anything like this!
What's funny about this video isn't just the fact that the mailman gets run over by his own mail truck after exiting the vehicle and leaving it in reverse.

I grew up just across the border from Detroit near Windsor, Ontario where I developed a love for Detroit sports right away. My dad took me to Tigers opening day from the time I was 1 year old and I've been to countless Red Wings games as well.
I'm also a huge Patriots fan with a soft spot for the Lions.
I'm new to the sportswriting business but I love writing and it's always been a dream of mine to make it a career.
Thanks for reading and please let me know what you think!
Hi Nick. I certainly don't expect Cleary to score 53 goals like he did in the OHL in '95-'96. But I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the 32 goals and 80 points he put up the following season. He scored 26 last year missing 14 games. You don't have to look any farther than Cleary's own line-mate Johan Franzen for an example of a guy that upped his production when put in the right situation. Franzen did nothing in Sweden, or his first 2 seasons in Detroit, but given a chance with the right players around him he has blossomed late. Would I be surprised if Cleary puts up the same numbers as last year? No. But I think he needs to assume a bigger role in the offense for the Wings to have a deep playoff run and he's shown in the past that he has the natural talent to potentially do it.
Dan Cleary for a breakout year? Come on! Numbers like in the O, now? Cleary is 32 and a grinder with some offensive upside; he'll never be a prolific scorer, especially not after the age of 32.

One month after Draftfcb NY brought Roald Van Wyk aboard, the agency has added another SVP/GCD to the fold, namely Jill Applebaum. The new hire arrives from Y&R/BrandBuzz, where she held a creative director post. During her time at said shop, Applebaum oversaw TV, print, interactive and integrated campaigns for Burt's Bees, the New Jersey Nets, Dymo, Sharpie and LG.
Her resume includes four years as a copywriter at DMB&B, four years as a senior CW at Ogilvy (clients included Jaguar, Maxwell House, NTB National Tire and Battery and Ford Corporate) and four more as an ACD at Y&R (during her first tour of duty). Here's a description of the creative straight from the mouth of Draft NY's CCO Darren Moran: "[H]ard work, contagious passion and unrelenting defense of great ideas."

Can't say that I've ever used one. When I was active in amateur radio satellite communications, I used crossed Yagi antennas. Either the elements were co-located and fed out 90 degrees out of phase, or the elements of one yagi were positioned 1/4 wave ahead/behind the elements of the other yagi (and both are fed in-phase). Here's a picture of a circular polarized yagi using the 1/4 wave offset technique.
http://www.m2inc.com/products/vhf/2m/2mcp14.htmlThe advantage over the Lindenblad is that it has real gain, where the Lindenblad does not have much.
The disadvantage is that it's directional, so it doesn't work for low-earth-orbit satellites. Those guys need to go by fast to stay in orbit.
I wonder. Can't one connect together four yagis, arranged horizontally 90 degrees apart, and get a high-gain omni antenna for horizontally polarized signals? Paralleled together like the Lindenblad, except the main folded dipole elements of the four yagis would be as close together as possible. Or even stacked.
Depending on specifics, the gain could be fairly even all around. Bert _________________________________________________________________Exercise your brain! Try Flexicon. http://games.msn.com/en/flexicon/default.htm?icid=flexicon_hmemailtaglineapril07

From Peace to Hate
It was straight out of central casting; a Fellini B movie, if ever there was one. Only it wasn't a movie. It was ugly, and it wasn't supposed to be entertainment. It was the way people behaved toward us — the L.A. Pro Israel Rally Committee (LAPIRC) — at the Not in Our Name anti-war demonstration on Sunday, Oct. 6, across from the Federal Building in Westwood. Our group of 25 people, many over 80 years old, experienced baiting, namecalling and general histrionics from those attending the demonstration.
For the last 15 months, LAPIRC has shown up every other Sunday at the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Veteran Avenue to show support for Israel by carrying banners, signs and Israeli and American flags. Little did I understand what I was getting myself in to when I decided to go ahead with our usual rally on Oct. 6.
A week earlier, LAPIRC co-organizer Greg Deych e-mailed me that a group, Not in our Name, was planning a demonstration against President Bush going into Iraq. Theirs was to be in front of the Federal Building. "Should we cancel our usual rally?" Greg asked me.
I was stupid enough to say, "No it will be fine. We have security and the anti-war group will be across the street." I added that even though the group probably sees Israel as an aggressive bully, I think it will be all right. But it wasn't.
It was a very, very hot day. Our group couldn't drink enough water and Gatorade. We stood and held American and Israeli flags and our pro-Israel banners. People began gathering at the crosswalk signal in order to get to the Federal Building. When they saw us they started cursing. Without first saying hello, or anything, a young Latino man told us to "f— off."
He began yelling at one of our older Russian Jewish supporters, Isaac, "You are Zionist Nazi pigs. You are Nazis!" It was surreal. People on the corner were all yelling at us in such a fevered pitch I couldn't hear myself talk.
I stepped between the Hispanic man and Isaac and said — or rather, yelled — "That's enough. It's enough already."
A woman in the crowd told me to mind my own business and that it wasn't enough.
Eventually, between 2,000-3,000 people were assembled across the street from us. LAPIRC was only 25 people. We continued to hold signs that read, "We send shalom and greetings of concern to Israel."
Around 2 p.m., a group of African Americans marched across the street into our rally, beating on drums and chanting, "Free the Palestinians, Free the Palestinians." I thought this was supposed to be about President Bush and Iraq. The group kept marching up and down, forcing our people to move from their positions.
Some brought cameras and video equipment, and ignored our requests to refrain from photographing us. They chanted, "First Amendment rights" and "This is a public place." One man photographed one of our small signs that read "Israeli flags-$6." We sell flags to pay for the security. I could only imagine this photo being used in some anti-Semitic book similar to "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion."
One woman who videotaped me yelled that she could do what she wanted to because she had First Amendment rights. I told her that she lacked grace. She turned around and said, "Well you lacked grace when you slaughtered my people." She was referring to Native Americans. Again, I thought this was about President Bush and Iraq. Was everyone with a personal beef here at this demonstration?
For two hours, people kept coming to our side of the street to either try to convince us we were wrong or to tell us that what we were doing looked bad. To them we looked like a pro-war group. I kept explaining that we were here to support Israel. This fell on deaf ears. Several news people interviewed us but they only wanted our views on the anti-war demonstration, not on our support of Israel.
And then the coup de grâce: As the 1,500 or so demonstrators began to march west down Wilshire Boulevard (the police sectioned off the street) toward Sepulveda Boulevard, they somehow managed to form a long line in front of us. At this point, our security guy put eight L.A.P.D. officers in front of us for protection. The name-calling continued full force, interspersed with occasional cries of "shame on you."
As proud of Americans as I was during Sept. 11, that's how ashamed I was of all these Americans. We were just 25 people standing on the sidewalk. It was as if Yasser Arafat's propaganda over the last 10 years had reached most of these people. They saw Israeli flags and went wild with hate.
I shudder to think what would have happened had the police not been there.
This may have been advertised as an anti-war rally, but I could hear in the distance, as I looked at the hate-filled faces, military boots marching on broken glass.

Rally Committee. She can be reached at email@example.com

Man Tips Waitress With a Horse
Want a Horse? Of Course!
Back in the day, I waited tables, and I have no idea how I would've reacted if some dude, instead of tipping me, decided to give me a horse. This actually happened to this lady, and she seems happy about it! I speak for most waitresses, I think, when I say that cash is better than a poem, compliments on what a great waitress you are (minus the tip), or. . . a barnyard animal. But maybe that's just me.

We're happy to announce a new relationship with our official luggage sponsor Tom Bihn, who will provide us with bags and accessories for us to review in the coming year. The Gals are thrilled, since we all brought Tom Bihn bags on our trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico, last March. We found them stylish and sleek, fun and functional.
Tom Bihn bags are actually multi-functional. The messenger-style bags come with extra waist-straps that allow users to better secure the bag for active hiking or biking (see how mine is slung over my shoulder but attached at the waist in the picture below). SoCalGal's Western Flyer (pictured at right) can convert from hand-held carry-on to backpack in seconds. All bags come with a perfect amount of organizational built-in pockets and pouches.
I like that this small Seattle company has a hands-on CEO/Designer. Tom himself comes up with the concepts of all the new products. (He actually created that nifty logo over there on the right for us, too.) Tom doesn't just do initial conceptualizing: he designs all of his bags from start to finish. He'll sketch an initial design, make dozens of prototypes of it himself (he sews each one), and then he creates the actual pattern and markers that the Seattle factory uses to produce the bags. That's just cool.
More coolness: Vice President Darcy Gray is social-media savvy and seems to read every single customer review that's posted online. She links to many on the upbeat company blog. We think it's great she's so in touch with what users are saying about the brand.
By and large, purchasers of Tom Bihn gear praise the products up and down. Some of the posts on the ultra-active forum may sound like hyperbole, but these folks are being authentically honest. There are rabid Tom Bihn fans who chime in with statements like, "The anticipation for my Aeronaut to arrive just about killed me — it's an awful lot like being in love and it's pretty scary when you feel that way about an inanimate object!" Funny, right?
If I lived in Seattle, I'd make a point to visit the factory showroom that's open only on the first Tuesday of every month. I'd love to see all the colorful Tom Bihn bags (from plum to indigo, bright red to kelly green) all in one place. In the meantime, I'll just salivate online and look forward to learning of new products as they roll out. It appears as if Tom Bihn is always planning and designing new items to satisfy his legion of fans.

Here is the second episode of Oracle in 3 Minutes. I titled it A Ticking Bomb, but you can also call it A Sleeper Bug.
Solution 3:
Reconsider your data model if you are really going to compare two columns which obviously have the same content and meaning but are of different data type…
🙂 Patrick
Yeah, reality sometimes is so far way from the "ideal" world 🙂
When trying to filter out rows, be aware that there is no guarantee about what order Oracle executes the various conditions. So you might well find that the invalid number error returns down the road when the query plan changes.
Even if you nest the subquery, i.e.
SELECT t1.col1, t2.col2 FROM (SELECT t.col1 FROM table1 t WHERE filter_out_non_numbers) t1, table2 t2 WHERE t1.col1 = t2.col1
there is no guarantee that the inner subquery is logically materialized before the join (and the implicit conversion) happens.

Cross Listed as ASST251
Because mystifying references to Zen are strewn throughout American popular culture-from episodes of the Simpsons to names of perfumes and snack foods-most Americans have an image of Zen Buddhism that is disconnected from anything actually practiced in East Asia. This course offers a corrective to this image by familiarizing students with both the history of Zen and the historiographical roots of these popular perceptions. This course will examine the origins of Zen (Ch'an) in China, trace its transmission to Japan, and cover its development in both cultural contexts. It will conclude with an examination of Zen's unique role in American popular culture. The course will enrich the conventional image of Zen by addressing its involvement with power and governance, gods and demons, mummies and sacred sites, sex and violence, nationalism and scholarship. Texts will include selections from primary works in translation (The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch, The Gateless Barrier, The Lancet of Seated Meditation) as well as selections from secondary literature including Suzuki, Zen and Japanese Culture, Victoria, Zen at War, and Faure, The Rhetoric of Immediacy.
Class Format: lecture/discussion

I'm sure most Radio Survivor readers have already heard about the passing of Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple. Jobs will be rightly celebrated for how his company's products, directed by his unique vision, changed the way most of us make and consume media. This includes radio.
Whether intentionally or not, the introduction of the iPod and iTunes in 2001 almost instantly created a fearsome challenge for traditional terrestrial radio. As the first elegant and user-friendly portable digital music player, the iPod helped create a perfect storm for the commercial radio industry, especially the nation's largest radio owner, Clear Channel.
It's easy to forget that at the turn of the century Clear Channel was riding high with mammoth profits brought on by its program of aggressive consolidation whereby the company vacuumed up stations, fired staff, and consolidated operations and programming in order to drive down costs. By 2001 the public had started to become wise to the fact that their local stations no longer sounded the same, with more repetition and fewer recognizably local personalities. As listeners started to tune out, Jobs' Apple stepped in with a desirable alternative, the iPod.
Sure, folks had mobile CD and cassette players for years before the iPod. And many models of MP3 players had been on the market since the late 90s. But for most people the iPod offered the first user-friendly device that could supply 1,000 songs in a pocket-sized package.
Steve Jobs didn't invent podcasting, but the integration of podcast management with iTunes in 2005 made the new medium accessible to new listeners who might never have sought out a specialized "podcatcher" application. The iTunes store almost instantly became the default directory for finding audio programming from across the web, which otherwise required many Google searches to sniff out.
While the iPod and iTunes are not exclusively responsible for the declining fortunes of commercial radio–I'd argue the industry deserves most of the blame–the impact of these technologies cannot be denied. So today I remember Steve Jobs for how he changed the landscape of radio and audio programming for the better, by making it easier and fun to find and listen to programming from around the world, helping to foster a whole new medium that sounds a lot like radio.

London, June 5 (IANS) Drawing analogy from how users in social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter are connected, researchers have found that social network analysis can be used to identify the biomarkers in our bodies for diseases, including different types of cancer.
For the study, the researchers from Turkey viewed genes as actors or members of the social network and similarities between different genes were considered to be the connections between these actors.
The team has demonstrated that their approach is effective in identifying biomarkers of three types of cancer: lymphoma, colon cancer and leukemia.
"We showed how our approach is capable of effectively detecting cancer biomarkers out of high-dimensional genomic data," wrote Taylan Iyidogan and colleagues from TOBB University, in Ankara, Turkey.
Genomic databases can be vast, given that the human genome comprises some 20,000 genes, and so such an approach can, they suggest, dramatically decrease the number of features that must be analysed to find useful biomarkers.
Once identified and understood, such biomarkers can then be tested for in screening programmes for people at risk of a given disease or for diagnosis should they present with particular symptoms.
"We combined clustering and classification into the developed framework to help in detecting the links between the various genes within the model and to validate the outcome, respectively," the researchers said.
The research was published in International Journal of Data Mining.

Elana Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court is only a few hours old, but Alexi Giannoulias has already made it an issue in the U.S. Senate campaign. Not because Mark Kirk is opposed to Kagan, but because Kirk opposed another liberal New York woman who was elevated to the Supreme Court by President Obama.
Oh, and yeah: Mark Kirk may be sexist too. But we'll get to that in a second. First, to the tape:
"When President Obama nominated Justice Sonia Sotomayor last year, Mark Kirk slammed the pick, calling Sotomayor a 'hyper-activist' and saying he would have voted 'no,'" Giannoulias campaign manager Michael Rendina wrote in an e-mail blast today. "Now, Kirk's Republican colleagues in the Senate are already pledging to fight Kagan's nomination.
That's attempted guilt by association, twice over.
First of all, Kirk didn't slam Elana Kagan. He slammed Sotomayor. Opposing one Obama nominee doesn't mean he'll oppose all Obama nominees. Kagan, after all, is a former Chicagoan who was well-regarded at the University of Chicago Law School, not as a stronghold of liberal hyper-activism.
Second of all, Kirk isn't a senator. He doesn't have to vote on Kagan's nomination. Though he would if he were the Illinois senator, and that's Giannoulias' implied point.
But Kirk didn't have to vote on Sotomayor,. When Obama nominated her a year ago, Kirk was running in a GOP primary, and had to prove his conservative bona fides to right wing voters.
Now, Giannoulias is demanding to know how Kirk feels about Elena Kagan, even though he's already told us how he suspects Kirk feels about Elena Kagan.
"The people of Ill deserve to know why Congressman Kirk joined Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh in opposing Justice Sotomayor's nomination and whether he will once again stand with the right wing in opposing Solicitor General Elena Kagan as well," Giannoulias said at the presser this morning. "It's a telltale sign of how he will line up with Illinois voters."
Ward Room called Kirk's campaign office to ask if he has an opinion on Kagan, but hasn't heard back. Kirk is speaking to the City Club of Chicago this afternoon, so maybe he'll have an answer then.
And we wonder whether he'll have an answer to the other subtext of Giannoulias' challenge, i.e., whether he's no fan of women. For that implication, he brought in Representative Jan Schakowsky.
"Frankly I was shocked that Congressman Kirk opposed the nomination of Justice Sotomayor, who's candidacy was historic and groundbreaking. Both women bring strong legal backgrounds...and I'm sure the congressman's opposition came from a newfound desire to appeal to the right-wing fringe of his party -- just like his courting of Sarah Palin's endorsement, changes in his tune on energy legislation, and support of the Stupak amendment, which was an anti-abortion amendment when earlier he had claimed to be pro-choice..."
And: "Where does Mark Kirk...stand on the appointment of only the fourth woman ever to the United States Supreme Court, the first woman to be the dean of Harvard Law School, the first woman to be a solicitor general in the United States of America. Where does he stand on her appointment? Is he also going to criticize her?"
Got that? Mark Kirk is on the far-right fringe. And he probably doesn't like ladies. Discuss.

Have a crazy time of silliness and unstoppable laughter by watching Flop Show, an Indian comedy television series that aired on DD National back in 1989. This series is a compilation of 10 episodes which make fun of social problems that involve the common man so as to reveal people's stupidity and vices. An immensely popular TV series at the time, the characters of this Jaspal Bhatti directed series keep changing their roles but remain the same throughout the whole season. So, for those who are on for a time of non-stop hilarity and a sense of nostalgia even, this series is a must-watch.

Does anyone know if we can do clinicals in Florida? Also if we are allowed to do 4th yr elective in a Florida hospital?

We had a site inspection (ACCM) for possible FL approval a while ago when i was still on island. As far as i know we have provisional ACCM approval which is the first step to FL approval. Call Gardner for details, i was'nt interested in FL so i didnt check into it.

are the 4th yr electives allowed in FL? i was under the impression that you could do electives in any hospital that has a residency training program
That's if you have Florida approval. If you do not have Florida approval you can't do ANY rotations in Florida. You will still be eligible to obtain a residency and be licensed in Florida because the school is IMED listed.

Smart Bar Talks to Dave Clarke
John Peel called him the Baron of Techno, but Dave Clarke is so much more than techno. With a discography that reaches back to the early '90s, Clarke has dipped into whatever style catches his fancy, be it hip-hop, punk, or electro. Currently living in Amsterdam, he is as known for his weekly White Noise radio show (broadcasting since 2006) as he is for his eclectic and energetic style. He'll be making a rare appearance stateside this Saturday, November 19th at Smart Bar; see smartbarchicago.com for details.
• As one of the first DJs to adopt digitalization, you've been at the forefront of this technology practically from the beginning. Where do you see it going in the future? Is there anything in particular you'd like to see develop?
"Scotty beam me up" would be a good innovation, it would save all the airport shenanigans. The technology is amazing right now, especially in producing music, the amount of choices you have are incredible, it really seems to be the limit of people's imagination that hasn't caught up. When I started we all used to dream about technology but now it is so part of everyone's life we take it for granted, I think the only thing i request is all plug ins become 64 bit very soon, it's quite upsetting to have powerful computers limited to only 4gb of Ram in 32 bit, but if I go back to my Red series being produced on 1/2 a mb of ram and recorded on a cassette ambien this 64bit demand makes me feel very spoilt.
• You're on episode 309 of Whitenoise at this point. Is there something specific that you're trying to accomplish with the radio show? Have you achieved that, or is it a work in progress?
I'm just trying to give producers backing, use my name to give them some weight and exposure.
• Correct me if I'm wrong here, but until this year, you hadn't played in the U.S. in…8 years or so!? What's kept you away so long?
Shiesty promoters not being professional and honouring legal commitments.
• We've seen a resurgence in techno in the last few years here in the U.S., but we're still lagging so far behind Europe. What do you think it takes to get more visibility for techno in the States?
That is strange for me, the US invents house and electro, digests European electronica and comes up with Techno, yet never understands the culture it gave Europe and the World and doesn't treat these innovators with any deep respect or understanding above cult status, that is a dilemma I cannot fathom.
• We're really excited to have you here at SmartBar. Does Chicago hold any special significance to you? Is there anything you're looking forward to seeing/doing upon your arrival?
I'm looking forward to play here, it's been a long while and I'm genuinely excited. I will have to go for some pizza and do some touristy things too.

One of my biggest complaints about protective iPad Air cases is that you typically must sacrifice the device's sleek design in order to achieve a high level of protection against bumps, scrapes, drops, or anything else that can make us scream in horror as our trusted and beloved iDevice ends up scarred, damaged, or possibly destroyed. Sure, there are cases that are relatively thin, but so are the materials that won't stand up to the test of time. I don't want to feel like I'm lugging around a laptop when I hold my iPad Air, so there needs to be durability and good protection while minimizing any added bulk and weight to keep in sync with Apple's design philosophy. STM's Dux case for the iPad Air meets or exceeds the U.S. Department of Defense standards for durability, but does it add too much bulk to achieve it?
The STM Dux case for iPad Air is offered in three different colors: black, blue, and red. It has an MSRP of $49.95, and is available at most online and retail stores, including the Apple Store. The case itself is a polycarbonate shell with a clear plexiglass back window and a magnetic clasp on the front flap. The shell has recesses along the outer edges to make it easier to hold. In those recesses, the case has a knurled finish to provide extra grip.
The front flap also has a similar knurled outer finish for better grip. The inside uses microfiber material to protect the screen from any scratches. The sides of the case will wrap completely around the iPad Air. When the flap is closed, it will be flush with the raised edges of the case for a snug fit. There is a large magnet within the outer tab on the flap that will make use of the instant on/off capabilities of the iPad Air. The magnet is also helpful in setting up the viewing stand when the flap is moved around to the back of the case.
The back of the STM Dux case for iPad Air has a large clear window with cutouts for the camera and the microphone. Because the back is clear, it will give you the chance to show off any decorative skins on their device. You can also use this to show off pictures, artwork, or anything else you would like to sandwich between the case and your iPad Air, just make sure to clean the surfaces so no dust or dirt particles get trapped inside.
Around the sides of the case are cutouts for the speakers, dock, microphone, and toggle switch. All other buttons are covered and protected, but still easily used with the raised buttons on the case itself. The opening to the headphones is a bit narrow and may offer some difficulty for headphones with a wider plug.
The iPad Air is able to easily snap into the case, although you may need to take a little more time if you have a screen protector. The sides of the case will completely wrap around the edges of the iPad Air, so you want to make sure the case edge doesn't catch and pull the edge of the screen protector.
One of the biggest claims for the STM Dux case for iPad Air is the fact that is has passed the U.S. Department of Defense – MIL-STD-810G – durability drop test. This means is is able to survive a drop of four feet onto a hard surface without damaging the iPad Air. The case also comes with a lifetime warranty, which you don't see on many protective cases.
Want proof of surviving a drop test? STM has provided a video of dropping the STM Dux with an iPad Air inside 26 times:
I've spent almost two months using this case for my iPad Air, including a trip to England for a few weeks. My iPad Air remains seated firmly in place within the case, and the front flap covers over the front of the screen completely. Even with the clear window in the back, no scratches have been found. The raised edges along the back help to keep the clear window off any surface. Overall, it's very solid and has offered excellent protection.
The STM Dux for iPad Air is a protective case that offers a high level of durability without adding too much bulk and weight. The price of the case is very affordable, and you can't beat a lifetime warranty. This is a must have for anyone who takes their iPad Air on the go.

CSNNE.com Bruins Insider Follow @hackswithhaggs
SEATTLE Its been a pretty mellow season for Josh Beckett.
Sure, the Red Sox offense hasnt done much to provide him with offensive support and it seems like hes been stuck on nine wins for an eternity.
But if things havent been letter-perfect for the gun-slinging righty, theyve been pretty close. He's third in the American League with a 2.40 ERA and tied for second with a 0.97 WHIP. He's allowed a miniscule 105 hits in 150 innings pitched for a .198 batting average against. He even made the All-Star team. Everything aside from the fickle win-loss total -- which is more an indication that the Red Sox haven't scored runs for him rather than any statement about his pitching -- has been among the best of his career as he's fully bounced back from last year's tumultuous 6-6, 5.78 campaign. He's been one of the biggest factors in the Red Sox' first-place standing.
Because of all that, Beckett hasnt been the four-letter-word-dropping fiend with a short fuse and colorful vocabulary that hes been during tough times in his Boston career. Hes been much more the seasoned 31-year-old veteran who's seen it all and done even more.
But Saturday nights first-inning freefall brought back the R-rated Beckett everybody knows so well.
The big righty had his worst start of the season, giving up five runs and a pair of homers before hed even recorded the first three outs of the game. He was able to lock things down after that, but the Sox couldn't make it all the way back and dropped a 5-4 decision that lowered Beckett's record to 9-5.
Beckett, who suffered his first career loss in Seattle after eight starts, hadnt allowed more than seven hits in a game this season. But the powder-puff Mariners offense pounded out nine hits against the hurlers mediocre stuff in five innings of fitful work.
The five runs allowed in Saturday nights first inning by Beckett equaled the total number of runs he'd allowed in the first inning all season. That means a couple of different things: Beckett has been consistently awesome in the first inning of his starts this season, and he was the opposite of awesome against a woefully inadequate Seattle offense.
That was a tough first inning, said Terry Francona. He didnt miss many bats.
Ichiro Suzuki rocked the first Beckett fastball of the night into the right-field stands for a solo home run, and the Sox righty continued to miss high with just about everything as the anticipated duel between himself and Seattle ace Felix Hernandez never materialized.
Beckett prides himself on being able to work deep into ballgames and saving the bullpen, but he could only fight through five innings and 99 pitches. He's finished with five innings or less only four times in 23 starts this season.
And when it was over, his reaction was vintage Beckett . . . from 2010, that is.
I left pitches up, they got it, said Beckett, who then repeated the same no-frills assessment. Left pitches up, they got hit.
Its pretty expletive simple. Its tough whenever youre facing a guy like Hernandez. That expletive game could have been over before the second inning. If you leave expletive balls right down the middle, then, expletive, I could have gone up there and hit. It was tough to make adjustments early on.
The good news: Beckett's next start will come against the Kansas City Royals, another team thats not quite ready for prime time, and he should be properly motivated to get everything down in the zone.
If not, then get ready for another episode of Beckett raw, uncut and uncensored, a show thats been happily stored on the shelf all summer.

AMERICANS have a lot to learn about Islam - even in the aftermath of the horrors of 9/11. While the atrocities of that day provided a wake-up call about terrorism, our political and media elites continue to show us that they haven't done their homework on the religious background of al Qaeda - and are likely not to.
An exceptionally irritating example of this came to light when a USA Today "Q&A on Islam and Arab Americans" appeared as a mass mailing around the country. Although the flier bore the USA Today logo, a call to the newspaper elicited the claim that the logo was used without its permission, even though the content of the flyer appeared on the paper's Web site.
USA Today staffers doubtless thought they were doing Muslims and non-Muslims in America a favor by presenting a warm and fuzzy picture of the situation inside world Islam.
But the leaflet was sent out by the "International Institute of Islamic Thought" (IIIT) in Herndon, Va., one of a group of Muslim organizations raided by federal authorities in an antiterrorism investigation last year.
IIIT advocates for the Wahhabi sect of Islam, the most extreme, separatist and violent trend in the faith of Mohammed. Wahhabism is the official religion in Saudi Arabia. Saudi oil royalties are spent to spread Wahhabism throughout the world - including right here in America.
We shouldn't be surprised, then, at how the newspaper, and the leaflet, answered the question, What is jihad? "Jihad does not mean 'holy war.' Literally, jihad in Arabic means to strive, struggle and exert effort. It is a central and broad Islamic concept that includes struggle against evil inclinations within oneself, struggle to improve the quality of life in society, struggle in the battlefield for self-defense or fighting against tyranny or oppression."
Here we have the money quote: "Jihad does not mean 'holy war.' " A few lines later, however, jihad does include "struggle in the battlefield."
The truth is, military jihad cannot be written out of Islam. The prophet Mohammed himself led armies. This answer would be more honest if it said, "Jihad cannot be reduced to the idea of 'holy war.'" But IIIT seeks only to escape responsibility for the Wahhabi 'jihad,' which has been terroristic since the founding of the Wahhabi cult in central Arabia 250 years ago.
Wahhabism is murderous in its attacks on non-Wahhabi Muslims, especially the Shi'as who comprise a majority in Iraq and the oil-rich Saudi eastern province, as well as in Iran. Just last week, nine Shi'a Muslims were murdered in Pakistan. The finger of blame has been pointed at Lashkar i Janghvi, the same Wahhabi terror gang that killed American reporter Daniel Pearl. (Indeed, Pearl was among the few victims of Lashkar i Janghvi who was not a Muslim.)
The "Q&A" that first appeared in USA Today and has been recycled by IIIT is part of a not-so-sophisticated campaign to convince Americans that there is only one Islam, represented by Saudi-Wahhabism, that it has nothing to do with terror, and, above all, that other forms of Islam, such as Shi'ism or Sufism, the spiritual form of Islam, do not exist or are unworthy of notice in the West.
This is especially pernicious as the United States solicits allies among Shi'a Muslims in Iraq, who yearn for liberation from the bloody hands of Saddam Hussein. Over the weekend, Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul D. Wolfowitz met with Shi'a Muslims in Michigan who stressed their hatred of Saddam and their desire to see the United States take firm action. One said, "It is not a very good idea to wait much longer."
In New York, Shi'a Muslims will hold their annual religious procession on March 9. They will proclaim their loyalty to America and their hatred of Saddam, of Wahhabism and of terrorism.
In addition, I and others who work closely with dissident Saudi subjects increasingly hear that restive young people in the kingdom, rather than supporting Osama bin Laden as the Saudi rulers claim, are turning to the peaceful and meditative way of Sufism as a form of opposition to the extremist form of Islam that has a grip on their country.
But Shi'ism and Sufism are absent from the USA Today Q&A. It's bad enough that Saudi money has enabled Wahhabis to take over 70-80 percent of American mosques. But when major American media like USA Today cover for this, it's a disgrace - and a threat.

Mobile Futures Pilots Launch into Market in 90 Days
Mondelez International Brands Partner with Start-Ups to Activate New Mobile Technologies and Ignite Cultural Change
Apr 15, 2013, 12:23 ET from Mondelez International, Inc.
DEERFIELD, Ill., April 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Mondelez International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDLZ), the world's pre-eminent maker of chocolate, biscuits, gum and candy, today announced that its Mobile Futures program has put into market seven new mobile pilots in just 90 days and is looking to launch two additional ones in the next month. A first of its kind program, Mobile Futures paired nine start-up companies with power brand teams to accelerate and scale existing mobile innovations in this first phase of the initiative.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121003/MM86695LOGO)
"The Mobile Futures program has been an extraordinary experience for all of us at Mondelez International. It has given us the opportunity to work with and learn from leading mobile innovators to enhance how we engage with our consumers," said Bonin Bough, Vice President of Global Media and Consumer Engagement at Mondelez International. "Working with our start-up partners, we were able to successfully launch new mobile pilots in just 90 days – something we would never have imagined for a company of our size."
Brands and start-ups worked together as follows:
Bringing Mobile Pilots to Market The pilots, which use mobile-at-retail, social TV and/or SoLoMo (social/location/mobile) technology to enhance consumer experiences and drive impulse purchases, include the following:
- Stride gum and Waze, a crowd-sourced traffic and navigation app, were the first to launch a pilot in February 2013, bringing users unexpected coupons for Stride gum at nearby retailers while on the go. Early results were very positive, indicating that the mobile integration leads to increased store traffic. Stride gum and Waze have two additional initiatives already underway and will continue to expand the partnership throughout the year as Waze brings new tools and services to its user base. "Our team has had a wonderful experience working with Waze. Our similar thinking and complementary skill sets enabled us to quickly and effectively activate a test pilot that has already shown huge success," said Kathryn Sheaffer, Senior Associate Brand Manager, Stride, at Mondelez International.

(from Aqueduct report)
Kentucky Derby Day is always a big one at Aqueduct, where two stakes will be featured on Saturday, the $150,000 Withers Stakes (g. III) and the $100,000 Beaugay Handicap (gr. IIIT).The Withers, run at one mile for 3-year-olds, has attracted undefeated Forest Danger, Gotham (gr. III) winner Saratoga County and Steve Asmussen shipper Two Down Automatic.Forest Danger has been awesome in three starts this year. The Forestry colt owned by Aaron and Marie Jones put on a show here Wood Memorial Day, smoking seven rivals en route to a 7 ½-length triumph in the Bay Shore (gr. III), going seven furlongs in 1:20 3/5. The final time was just two ticks slower than 5-year-old Pico Central ran the Carter Handicap (gr. I) two races later.Forest Danger worked in company with Shaniko on Sunday, going five furlongs in 1:00 3/5 over Belmont's main track. Shaniko has also been entered in the Withers, but would only run if Forest Danger could not start.Evelyn Pollard's Saratoga County has made all four of his 2004 starts in stakes races. After hitting the board in the Spectacular Bid (gr. III) and Hutcheson (gr. II) at Gulfstream, the colt won the Gotham. He faltered from the 14-post in Keeneland's Lexington in his last start weeks ago."That was a hectic experience," trainer George Weaver said of the Lexington, in which his trainee finished seventh. "He's still a little on the green side and that was his first start around two turns. He had 30,000 fans on his right and 13 horses to his left. He shied away from the horses inside him and I think he was a little confused about the two turns."Weaver was originally considering waiting to run Saratoga County in the Riva Ridge on Belmont Stakes Day, but opted for this spot."There are limited opportunities to run against straight three-year-olds at a one-turn mile," Weaver said. "We're hoping he can duplicate his success in the Gotham."Shipping in from the Midwest is Dapple Stable's Two Down Automatic. The Smoke Glacken gelding was beaten just three-quarters of a length by Smarty Jones in the Southwest at Oaklawn. Favored in the Northern Spur Breeders' Cup on the Arkansas Derby undercard, the Steve Asmussen trainee did not disappoint, winning easily by 5 ¾ lengths.Best Turn winner Redskin Warrior will make his first start since finishing fifth in Gotham, beaten 8 ¾ lengths by Saratoga County. $150,000 Withers (gr.

Heiligbrodt Stable's Caught in the Rain, winner of both her starts over Aqueduct turf, returns to her favorite course in the Beaugay for fillies and mares at 1 1/16 mile.Following a pair of off-the-board finishes in dirt stakes toward the end of 2003, Caught in the Rain was sent to Ocala, Florida."They turned her out for a bit and she didn't run too good in her first race back at Tampa," trainer Guadalupe Preciado said. "She probably needed that race. She got beat by the same horses she has beaten in the past."In her last New York turf try, Caught in the Rain prevailed by a nose in the Athenia, narrowly edging out Lojo and Coney Kitty. The latter won the Hillsborough at Tampa over Caught in the Rain.Lojo will be making her first start of the year in the Beaugay. The daughter of Rubiano had a very productive 2003 season going 3-3-1 from 9 starts with a victory in the England's Legend at Belmont."We turned her out for a couple months after the Athenia," trainer Tim Hills said. "She's been back in training for some time now. She's not a great big horse, so she's a little easier to get ready off a layoff."Lojo has hit the board in her last six starts, making consistency one of her best characteristics.
Dedication, from the barn of Christophe Clement, may go off the Beaugay favorite. She was beaten only a neck by Heat Haze last year in the Matriarch (gr. IT) at Hollywood Park. After winning a listed stakes a Gulfstream, she was sent to California where she finished second in the Las Cienegas (gr. IIIT) going 6 ½ furlongs on the downhill turf course.Last year's Beaugay winner, Delta Princess, will be back to defend her title. The A. P. Indy mare has only won once in eight starts since and that was an easy spot at Philadelphia Park.Willmott Stables' Aud will be making her 2004 debut for trainer Tony Reinstedler.

change keyboard language in startx
hello everyone im hoping you can help me whit this problem im new to slackware ive used ubuntu and fedora before, but i asked around for the "best" linux distro and they told me slackware or archlinux so i desided to pick slackware ive installed it and when im in the console mode its the swedish keyboard settings, that i choose in the install but when i go into visual mode startx i dont have the swedish keyboard so i was wondering if eny of you know how to change it
take a look at the CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT.
There it says:
The version of Xorg in Slackware 13.37 will not (in most cases) require an
Hope I could help you:)
If you have installation disk near you, you can read CHANGES_AND_HINTS.txt file. There is part which touches your question: search for /etc/X11/xorg.conf in text(cut - oops, that was unrelated).
Also you can achieve same result running xorgsetup in console - a few simple dialogs will help you to do some X configuration, including keyboard layout.
Another way: if you using xfce or kde, you can run their setting manager, which allows to setup keyboard layout on fly.
You should read slackbook(provided with installtion), it can give you a lot of answers.
Thank you i edited the file and now its fixt thank you both and thanks for telling me about the manual

'I Got Into Sex Work to Afford to Be a Writer'
Brooklyn journalist Melissa Gira Grant is one of the voices who has emerged in the last few years to defend the rights and dignity of people working in all parts of the sex industry. As her new book hits the shelves, she tells The Guardian about moving from sex work into journalism.
Grant, who holds degrees from the University of Massachusetts and San Francisco State University, was one of the first girls to point a webcam at herself and strip. Writing in The Guardian, Jezebel, The Washington Post and elsewhere, she has drawn on her experiences in the industry to argue that sex workers' rights should trump the moral objections held by some when it comes to securing their safety and livelihoods.
As The Guardian's Liz Hoggard put it, by emphasizing the "work" aspect of the experience, Grant is saying that "sex workers become neither corrupters, nor victims who need rescuing, but workers who need access to healthcare, a safe work environment and protection from abuse and exploitation."
In a conversation published on The Guardian's website, Hoggard spoke with Grant about the significance of her new book, "Playing the Whore: The Work of Sex Work," published this month by Verso and Jacobin.
"The sex industry is an endless source of fascination for the mainstream media. But rarely do dispatches come from sex workers themselves. What do you believe your new book adds to the debate?" Hoggard asked.
Grant responded: "When I first started looking for things to read about sex work in the late 1990s, most of the books that had been published were memoirs, though there were a couple of great anthologies of political essays written by sex workers that I just found so valuable. But in the past few years there haven't been as many books like that, so I wanted to write something about sex work post-2000, to update that literature. Most of the stories about sex workers that I came across in the press focused on sex workers' behaviour — or, even worse, treating sex workers as a problem to be solved. It made me think that what needed to be done was invert the question, and take the people who were shaping and controlling the lives of sex workers (police, press, policy makers) and to put the focus on them. And to ask questions about their motivations, beliefs and values, and also what they stood to gain from the kinds of stories they shared about sex work, and the kinds of policing and sex policy they were introducing around sex work — particularly with the absence of sex workers involved. These people I focus on are presumed to be the experts on sex work, even though in most cases they haven't done sex work themselves. It happens all the time that politicians will convene and debate laws about sex work without actually having sex workers participate."

THE Patsy Duffy Memorial Benefit next month is a sell out and looks like setting a new fundraising record for Alzheimer's, Northern Ireland.
The Duffy family from Magherafelt have managed to persuade some of the biggest names in television to support the gala ball on March 7 at Titanic Belfast.
These include James Nesbitt, Fiona Phillips and Sarah Travers.
The amount raised will probably exceed £50,000 - the most ever raised on one evening for the Alzheimer's charity.
In this interview, Lisa Duffy talks about the background to the event and how dementia robbed her family of a much loved father.

Hayden Town Council to consider emergency moratorium on recreational marijuana businesses
March 6, 2013
Steamboat Springs — The Hayden Town Council on Thursday night will consider an emergency ordinance that temporarily will ban some activities related to the passage of Amendment 64, the constitutional amendment passed by Colorado voters in November that legalizes the recreational use of marijuana.
The ordinance being considered by Hayden officials would be in effect until Oct. 1. By that time, council members plan to have permanent rules in place that will help govern recreational marijuana businesses such as pot shops. The town also could choose to permanently ban pot shops or other businesses such as private clubs, where members can consume marijuana.
During a Feb. 21 meeting, Town Council members appeared supportive of the emergency ordinance because they wanted to ensure they had time to come up with their own rules.
The Town Council will meet from 7 to 7:30 p.m. at Hayden Town Hall for reports from staff members. The regular meeting starts at 7:30 p.m.
Also at the meeting, the council members will consider appointing Tom Rogalski to the Economic Development Commission and Sandy Wells to the Parks and Recreation board.
The town also is seeking approval from council members to replace a 1984 mower with a new one at a cost of $25,430. The town also wants to purchase a new pickup for $19,743.

Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
I am the personal representative to my best-friends estate in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
She had no value to her estate outside of her condo ( loan amount on mortgage 40,460.62) her car (loan amount 1200.00).
My question is; I requested that the probate court allow the property to be sold and they have allowed this. I have a cash, sold as is, 30 day closing, contract of 63,000.00 on the property.
I'm three months behind the mortgage. I have communicated with wells Fargo (mortgage holder) that I have a sales contract on the property and that their loan will be paid in full in 30 days.
There is a law firm in Tampa that has been hired by wells to collect the debt( foreclosure). I immediately called the firm and told them to stop proceedings. I then wrote them a letter disputing the validity of their claim and to cease all further attempts at collection, as I had informed Wells Fargo of the sale. As far as I know, know official, legal action of foreclosure has occurred.
I have paid out of my own pocket everything and am in so deep financially. I called Wells Fargo today and told them I was sending a check for 1069.00, which would bring the mortgage current, they noted the account.
My question is..... Can the closing still happen? Am I wasting my money never to see it again? I have paid the electric bill, a/c repair, condo dues, etc. and I am worried. Should I just cut my losses and not bring the mortgage current. Everyone I have talked to says ; keep your money. These banks and lenders seem to play by their own rules. Please advise
1 Answer from Attorneys
You need an attorney to assist you. Is someone representing you in the Estate? The loan to property value is positive correct? You will get your expenses from the proceeds of the sale. Is there a will? who gets the assets? If you have more equity in the property than the loan amount 63K v. 40K, then go for the sale and pay them off when it is completed. Stop dealing with them by phone, only deal with them in writing.

(Copyright, 1914, by the Newspaper Enterprise Association.)
Dad had become conscious again,
I was in his room this morning while
the nurse was out for a little walk
when we heard Mollie's 'voice in the
"Margie," asked Dad suddenly, "is
Mollie still working? She did not give
up her position, did she?"
"No Dad, Mollie thought she could
do more 'for you by giving some of
the money she earned toward hivinc;
you a nurse who could take care of
you properly."
Dad's face lighted up. "She's a
good girl," he murmured to himself
"a good girl. I'm glad she has learn
ed stenography. And, Margie, don't
let mother talk her out of working.
Mother never wanted Mollie to work
outside the house and I know she will
try and make her think I need her.
"Mother does not understand eith
er that a nurse can really make me
physically more comfortable than
she can. And strange as it may seem,
Margie, when a man is on his death
'bed he wants most the little physical
' comforts he can get for his few re
maining hours.
"Dear Dad, you must not think of
that," I interrupted, "you will soon
be up and around again."
No, dear, I'm done for; in just
a little while I will be the man who
Dad's voice broke and I went over
and kissed him. "Margie, I'm glad
Dick married you you are a good
girl a little stubborn in having your
own way, perhaps, but you mean to
do right."
"Dear father, please don't think I
am always on the right side of temp
tation. I have never been really
tempted yet and I don't want to be
too hard on those' who are on the
wrong side."
"Take care of Mollie, will you,
Margie? I'm afraid she will need you
in the years to come. Her mother
someway never was" able to get her
confidence never will be I am
afraid. And, Margie, be kind to her
mother. She will be awfully lonely
when I am gone."
We both were crying Dad in the
calm way of the old and I trying to
stifle my sobs for fear of making him
"I'll do the. very best I know how,
Dad," I whispered, "but don't give up
yet I am sure you are going to get
"Wouldn't you like to talk to a
minister?" I asked, somewhat lame
ly, "perhaps he could say something
to comfort you better than I."
Father Waverly was silent a mo
ment and then he spoke: "No, Mar
gie, I don't believe I do. j You see I
have only so little time to live with
the affairs of this world and with
those I love and I shall have eternity
in the next"
He was silent a minute' and I
thought he had gone to sleep, but
again he spoke: "I've always tried
to do right, but I've never been able
to have that blessed faith in the here
after that would probably be a great
comfort to me now. Margie, I don't
know whether I am on the verge of
eternal life or eternal oblivion, but
whichever it is is right and if it be
eternal life then God is good and
I'll take my chance."
I looked at the wasted form lying
there calmly and thought it emble
matic of the courage and patience
which means greatness.
Dear old Dad had not had success
as the world values it. He was going
out on the long journey to a land he
did not know and could not imagine,
but he was setting his face toward it
bravely saying: "I'll take my
chance." And that also is what it all
amounts to in this life: We must
take our chance, whether we make
good or ill out of it remains with us.

Boot camp teens return to NT
Ten Northern Territory teenagers seen as at risk of offending have just returned from a boot camp in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia.

- Permalink
A leader of a boot camp program says troubled teens from the Northern Territory should get long term benefits after returning from treking in the Flinders Ranges.
Executive director of the Operation Flinders Foundation, John Shepherd, is in Darwin and last night attended a ceremony for 10 young people who finished a boot camp that may become a template for the NT government's plans.
"Those young people last night, it was just the first stage in their journey I guess if you like," Mr Shepherd told ABC radio.
The teenagers that went on the trek had to travel through the Flinders Ranges in South Australia.
"Our program is the eight days, 100km walk, but then we follow up so in other words we ascertain what the young people's individual needs are," he said.
"Our evaluation shows that there are long term results."
When they were elected last year the Country Liberal Party vowed to introduce boot camps for teenagers that were in trouble with the law.
Mr Shepherd said he does not like the term "boot camp" to describe what his foundation does, because the teenagers are treated with respect during their time on the treks.
It has not been decided yet who will permanently run the NT's boot camps, but Mr Shepherd said if his foundation was successful in their bid they will find somewhere in the Territory to host the program.
People who participate in his boot camps are aged 14 to 18 and are about 20 per cent Aboriginal, with 39 per cent female, Mr Shepherd said.
A second 10-day trial boot camp is being run by Tangentyere Council at Walkabout Bore, outside of Alice Springs.
Minister for Correctional Services John Elferink said the youths who went to the Flinders Ranges were on a steep learning curve to correct their attitudes and behaviour.
"It appears they are already displaying better behaviour and are more disciplined," Mr Elferink said in a statement.

The sexy billionaire lying next to me has asked me the one question I've been longing to hear. Sean Ferro is finally there, ready to marry me. All I have to do to live happily ever after is destroy my enemies, kill my brother, and try not to lose myself in the process.
As it is, I feel like I'm becoming unhinged. Past sins are pressing against my mind, demanding to be dealt with, but I can't open the floodgates. I can't let those demons see the light of day. My actions are so far beyond shades of grey that I worry I'll destroy everyone around me - Sean included.
I never thought it would be difficult to say yes to the sexy, naked man lying in my arms. I want the happily ever after, but I'm not sure I have what it takes to get there.

I have read this and now have reread the whole series as the last two books came out...I LOVE IT! I will probably do the same when the final two come out as well! I LOVE THE CHARACTERS! I am hopeful for a happy ending!!! 😬
"The Arrangement 21"
I loved it and I hope I can find volume 22 as I crave more about the Ferro Family and the Arrangement.

Sadly, nothing above 3.0.3 will work on my Note 2. Keep getting the BeatzFX FC issue. I have uninstalled completely and gone back to Noozxoide Pro for the time being until the issues with the latest builds are hashed out. Then I will retry installing KingbeatZ.
