As a junior, Katy Boren helped lead the Trinity Christian girls basketball team to within a whisker of the TAPPS Class 4A state basketball championship a year ago.
Her desire this year was to get her team to the state level, but not with the Lady Lions. Boren transferred back to Cooper, where she played on varsity as a sophomore, hoping to get the Lady Pirates past the regional round and on to Austin.
"I had a lot great friends here and a lot of good friendships," Boren said about moving back to Cooper. "I love the girls basketball team here. I knew we had great chemistry. Coach (Trent) Hilliard is such a great coach and a great influence on us. I knew we had a chance at Trinity to go back, but this is where I knew I needed to go and needed to play."
So far, things have worked out well for the Lady Pirates, who are 22-2 overall, 2-0 in District 2-3A play and ranked No. 2 in the state in the latest Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Class 3A poll.
Boren, a 5-foot-7 sharpshooting guard, has elevated her game in particular the last few weeks. She's averaging 14 points over the last seven games (non including Tuesday) and helped lead the Lady Pirates to a championship consolation title at the Caprock Holiday Classic over the Christmas break.
Since Dec, 18, an overtime win over Frenship, Boren has had just one game where she failed to reach double figures in scoring. That consistency, and its effect on the rest of the team, is why she is this week's Happy State Bank/Avalanche-Journal Athlete of the Week.
"She's been that final piece of the puzzle with her outstanding shooting ability and ability to knock down those threes," Hilliard said. "Her defense has really improved from what it was a couple of years ago and she's become an overall player in many aspects of the game."
Hilliard said one of Boren's biggest effects on the team outside of scoring has been how her shooting range has opened the floor for everyone else.
In the same span of seven games since Dec. 18, fellow guard Taylor Parr is averaging 11.2 points per game, including a 20-point performance against 2-3A rival Shallowater in the Caprock, while center Bridget Rampy is averaging 10.2 points per game.
What's also having an effect, Hilliard said, is her work ethic. She can constantly be found in the gym working on her shot.
"I've been practicing a lot after school and working on my shot," said Boren, who is committed to Angelo State. "I really need to work on my passes and see the ball when that happens. I just want to work hard so we can be the best team we can be."
Including another trip to state.

"There's very little cross-cultural variation. This was a surprise," said Nick Allum of the University of Surrey, who will present the results of his study at a symposium entitled "What People Around the World Think and Know About Science," to be held at the annual meeting of AAAS, the nonprofit science society.
The primary focus of Allum's study - a meta-analysis which took into account the results of some 200 surveys of the public perception of science - was to measure the correlation between the public's knowledge of science and their embrace of it, a relationship that has been fiercely contested.
The kind of cross-cultural similarities Allum and his colleagues discovered are at least half the reason why social scientists from Europe, Latin America, Asia and North America will gather at the AAAS meeting to share their latest work.
"A discussion like this allows us to start developing more coherent theories to explain public attitudes about science, rather than ending up with piecemeal results that don't really link," said Allum. "Together, we can see if there are some areas on which we at least partially agree, so we can move on."
Another objective of the symposium is quite the opposite - to tease out the differences in how diverse cultures regard science.
For instance, in a presentation entitled "Americans May Love Science, But They Don't Know Much About It," Melissa Pollak of the National Science Foundation explores the science illiteracy of the U.S. public as compared to other developed nations. More than a century after Darwin, Pollak said, there is "a stark difference in the responses to the evolution question in the United States," as compared to Europe, where most people surveyed say they accept evolution as fact.
Pollak said she is personally concerned with rampant misunderstanding of science in this country, in people's not knowing how science works and with belief in such phenomena as psychic powers. "Not to spoil anyone's enjoyment of an entertaining television show 'The Medium', but if you really believe that this person has psychic ability, then I see that as something society should be concerned about." Pollak said. "I personally feel there's a role for the scientific community in combating some of these beliefs."
Another aspect of Americans' attitudes toward science and technology is their basic lack of objection to new technologies, such as the genetic modification of food which Europeans are more likely to reject.
Edna Einsiedel of the University of Calgary will unveil the results of a first-ever survey examining North Americans' level of acceptance of cutting-edge technologies such as pharmacogenetics, otherwise known as "personalized medicine," and nanotechnology, which involves the construction of tiny structures and devices by manipulating individual molecules and atoms for diverse uses in medicine, computing and other fields. Nanotechnology has provoked some concern among scientific experts about the release of the manufactured molecules into the environment.
Einsiedel's survey asks 1,000 U.S. residents and 2,000 Canadians if they are aware of nanotechnology, whether they perceive it as beneficial and whether they are confident it can be safely regulated. She strongly advocates such assessment of public views early on in a technology's development.
"[Early input] allows identification and understanding of public concerns, helps to identify the factors that might explain these concerns and provides opportunities for these views to be accounted for in the design, control and monitoring of the technology," Einsiedel said.
Allum agrees that the public's awareness and level of acceptance of a new technology are crucial and supports media training for scientists "to make them seem more human."
"It's important for scientists to make clear what the aims and objectives of their work are, rather than just the science of it," Allum said.
For Carmelo Polino of RICYT (the Ibero-American Network of Science and Technology Indicators), bringing the public into the loop on science and technology presents an opportunity to improve the lives of millions. His organization has explored public attitudes about science in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Spain in order to produce comparable indicators at the regional level. His presence at the symposium represents the first time that Latin American countries have been brought into a worldwide forum focused specifically on the topic of surveys on the public perception of science.
Polino contends that in Latin America knowing how the public views science and knowing how to communicate to the public about scientific advances could determine whether science and technology will ever receive the political support and resources needed to aid a country's development and raise its citizens' standard of living.
"In this context, the scientific community in Latin America cannot ignore the cruel fact that millions of people are marginalized and live and die in the most abject poverty. Amid such desperate circumstances, science and technology can be transformed into future options," Polino said. "Knowing the public's perception of science could help develop more efficient strategies for mass communication, with the goal of having more and better science."

The anonymous caller has an ominous tone and an unnerving message about something "real dead . . . buried in your marsh." The eco-volunteer on the other end of the phone thinks it's a prank, but when a young woman's body turns up in L.A.'s Bird Marsh preserve no one's laughing. And when the bones of more victims surface, homicide detective Milo Sturgis realizes the city's under siege to an insidious killer. Milo's first move: calling in psychologist Alex Delaware.The murdered women are prostitutes - except the most recent victim; a brilliant young musician from the East Coast, employed by a wealthy family to tutor a musical prodigy, Selena Bass seems out of place in the marsh's grim tableau.Conveniently - perhaps ominously - Selena's blueblood employers are nowhere to be found, and their estate's jittery caretaker raises hackles. But Milo's instincts and Alex's insight are too well-honed to settle for easy answers, even given the dark secrets in this troubled man's past. Their investigation unearths disturbing layers - about victims, potential victims, and suspects alike - plunging even deeper into the murky marsh's enigmatic depths.Bizarre details of the crimes suggest a devilish serial killer prowling L.A.'s gritty streets. But when a new murder deviates from the pattern, derailing a possible profile, Alex and Milo must look beyond the suspicion of madness and consider an even more sinister mind at work. Answers don't come easy, but the darkest of drives and desires may fuel the most devious of foes.Bones is classic Kellerman - relentlessly peeling back the skin and psyches of its characters and revealing the shadows and sins of the souls beneath. With jolt after jolt of galvanizing suspense, it drives the reader through its twists and turns toward a climax as satisfying as it is shattering.More
"A genuine page-turner . . . The comfortable banter that has helped make Delaware and Sturgis such durable crime-story heroes is as rapid-fire, keen, and wryly funny as ever, and the mystery they aim to solve is certainly not routine." (Booklist)

I should probably be a little more ashamed than I actually am to admit that, John Cooper Clarke aside, I've never really been very drawn to poetry. While this Little Black Classic was a bargain at just 80p, I can't say that it's succeeded in changing my mind.
I've been accused of being more than a little morbid in my time, but even I can't help but think that Christina Rosetti would have been a bit of a bummer to be around. Aside from the vague warnings on sex and sin that appear to make up the titular Goblin Market, most of this collection was preoccupied with death - whether it be the death of innocence, the death of seasons or death of the body. As well as making the collection feel a little repetitive, this made sure that while it was easy to fit one of these poems into a short lunch break, I also went back a little more depressed than I had been before.
I can understand how this might appeal to others, but it's not for me.

Demi Lovato Playing Santana's Love Interest in Glee
Looks like Demi Lovato's upcoming role in Glee will feature the singer/actress as we've never seen her before: kissing a girl.
Glee star Naya Rivera, who plays Santana on the show, tells MTV that Demi will play her love interest on the upcoming season of the show. "I'm very, very excited about that," Naya says. "We get to sing a song together. It's gonna be good. I'm excited to work with her. We're bringing her to the dark side…she comes in in a Beatles episode, so [we're singing] a Beatles song. I'm excited."
Rumor has it that the Beatles tune the two will sing together is "Here Comes the Sun."
For her part, Demi is thrilled to be joining the Fox show. "I can't believe I'm going back to acting but the best part about it is that I get to act/sing with some of my really great friends," she tweeted.
As previously reported, Demi's character, described as a "struggling artist," will appear in the New York City-set portions of the show. She'll reportedly also interact with and perform with Adam Lambert, who's also joining the show this season.

Houve um processo de substituição de importações na indústria brasileira no período pós-desvalorização cambial?
The aim of this paper is to analyze if the exchange rate devaluation of the Real, which occurred in 1999, led to an import substitution process in the Brazilian manufacturing. The analysis is carried out by comparing the data for the years of 1998 and 2003. Moreover, this paper also investigates if the changes observed can be classified as being structural or they will be reversible in a new period of economic growth. The analysis of the data led us to conclude that there was not, in general, an import substitution process after the devaluation of the Real and also that the external trade changes that happened since 1998 can´t be classified as structural changes.

As someone who loves robust red wine and celebrates a birthday that usually falls in midst of a July heat wave, I've learned to make concessions. I've also learned on these hot summer nights to keep an ice bucket at the ready to make whatever wine is on the go more enjoyable.
Half filled with ice cubes and cold water to help chill your wine faster, that bucket is the perfect vessel to keep your wine tasting as it should, even if you're drinking rich, ripe California Cabernet.
Sadly, chilling or refrigerating red wine is often viewed a classic blunder. By some it's downright sacrilegious. Doesn't everyone know that you are supposed to serve red wine at room temperature?
That was certainly the way back in the day. But the wine-soaked experts of old would have been talking about room temperatures before central heating and air conditioning. Suffice to say, we live in a different world.
The upshot is Canadians tend to serve our red wines too warm and our whites too cold. Of course, as in all things related to wine appreciation, it's a matter of taste.
When you chill wine, you're dialing down how tart, sweet and aromatic it seems. For many white wines, those are the very attributes that we most enjoy.
Chilling red wines, especially bold and structured reds made from Cabernet or Malbec, can make the tannins more pronounced. But some find that astringency adds refreshment to their taste buds on a hot day.
You might be acclimatized to drinking your white wines icy cold out of habit. Likewise, you might not have considered the effect of temperature on that bottle of red wine that's sweating it out alongside you on the patio.
But you might find a better way, as I did years ago when I visited Bordeaux during a scorching hot week in July.
Locals at bistros and brasseries weren't denying themselves the region's celebrated vin rouge like I was. They enjoyed lightly chilled carafes or bottles as wait staff brought out ice buckets as a matter of course.
Fifteen minutes in an ice bucket is usually enough of a bath to cool your red wine down to a more pleasing and refreshing temperature. Taste and see for yourself what you think. After all, what's cooler than being cool?
Wines of the Week:
***1/2 Bodegas Martin Codax 2011 Albariño, Rias Baixas, Spain
As the largest producer in Rias Baixas, Martin Codax is virtually synonymous with the Albariño grape. A light, refreshing white with a heavenly floral and fruity fragrance, this might be your new favourite wine.
**** Caves des Papes 2011 Ogier Héritages Côtes du Rhône, Rhône Valley, France
A great value red from France, this effective blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre is juicy and fruity, with good concentration and grip. Chilled down, it offers the fruity intensity of a good rosé with more stuffing.

WASHINGTON, June 10 (UPI) -- Nevada is set to receive millions of dollars from the U.S. Department of Energy to help build a 121 megawatt geothermal energy project, officials announced.
U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu with U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced a partial guarantee for a $350 million loan for a geothermal energy project in Nevada.
The project could product as much as 121 megawatts of energy from three facilities. It would boost geothermal power production in Nevada by nearly 25 percent.
"Geothermal power offers consistent electricity production 24 hours a day," Chu said in a statement. "This project will help our nation maintain its position as the world's leader in installed geothermal capacity, while creating hundreds of jobs in Nevada."
The Energy Department said geothermal plants produce almost no greenhouse gas emissions. The projects in the Nevada deal will generate enough energy to meet the demands of 88,000 homes.
The department this week announced it has $70 million available in funding over three years for geothermal energy.

Worcester 18-27 Nothampton Saints, Aviva Premiership
Saints secure important away win
ESPN Staff
February 16, 2013
Northampton were pushed hard before securing victory over Worcester%]
Northampton revived their push for the Aviva Premiership play-offs despite seeing England forwards Dylan Hartley and Courtney Lawes both sin-binned at Sixways.
Flanker Samu Manoa's 70th-minute try - he was driven over the line by his fellow forwards just seconds after Worcester's former Northampton flanker Neil Best received a yellow card - made the difference before referee Greg Garner awarded Saints a late penalty try.
It was only Saints' second win in their last five league games, but it took them into fifth spot, one point above Gloucester, who tackle Wasps tomorrow.
Hooker Hartley and lock Lawes were punished for killing the ball and a late challenge, respectively, yet Northampton had enough in the tank to prevail.
Northampton fly-half Stephen Myler kicked five penalties and a conversion for a 17-point haul, while his opposite Andy Goode landed six penalties out of seven, but it was not enough to stave off Warriors' fourth successive Premiership defeat.
Worcester have not won a league game since four days before Christmas, and they remain hovering above the relegation zone, although London Welsh, London Irish and Sale Sharks are all below them.
Worcester, beaten heavily by Bath last time out, were reinforced through Goode's recovery from illness and Scotland prop Euan Murray returning after RBS 6 Nations commitments that saw him start against England and Italy.
Hartley and Lawes, who made appearances off the bench during an impressive victory over Ireland in Dublin six days ago, both started for Saints, as did former red rose full-back Ben Foden.
Foden was immediately pressed into action, completing a superb try-saving tackle on Warriors wing Josh Drauniniu after Worcester cut Saints open with their first attack, but the game quickly settled into a goalkicking duel between Goode and Myler as both sides conceded penalties as though they were going out of fashion.
Goode, who is believed to be a possible target for Northampton next season, struck twice inside the opening eight minutes - his second penalty a 52-metre effort - before Myler completed a quickfire hat-trick.
Two further Goode penalties meant that Worcester held a 12-9 lead as half-time approached, but Myler then missed an opportunity to haul Saints level shortly after Hartley was sin-binned.
The game was punctuated by Garner's whistle, yet neither team could have had any genuine complaint with the official, who merely applied the letter of the law.
Myler booted his final penalty attempt of the half - the 10th across both teams - short, with Worcester narrowly deserving their interval advantage.
Myler kicked an equalising penalty within four minutes of the restart, although Worcester almost broke the try stalemate when impressive full-back Errie Claassens' 40-metre break needed three Saints defenders to halt it.
Worcester continued to look the more dangerous team with ball in hand, and they did not lack confidence to spin possession wide despite soft under-foot conditions. Northampton, in contrast, were happy to absorb whatever Warriors threw at them, keeping their defensive shape and securing sufficient quality field position for Myler to do the rest.
He duly obliged with his fifth successful penalty after 57 minutes that put Saints ahead for the first time, but Northampton were then back down to 14 men after Lawes' late challenge on Goode.
Goode dusted himself down to kick the resulting penalty, and the contest was level again entering a final quarter of an attritional encounter before another Myler shot bounced back off the post.
But Manoa's touchdown sealed the deal, despite Goode slotting another penalty, before a last-gasp penalty try that owed everything to a dominant Saints pack rubbed salt into Warriors' wounds.
Northampton finished the stronger team, and they now go forward to next weekend's home game against Bath with renewed confidence, while Worcester face local rivals Gloucester at Kingsholm on Friday night.
Northampton forwards coach Dorian West saluted his players for "grinding it out" after Saints put their play-off hopes back on track
It was only their second league win from their last five starts and was achieved despite Saints' England forwards Dylan Hartley and Courtney Lawes both being sin-binned.
"You need to be able to play the game depending on the conditions, and I was really pleased with how we did that today," West said. "It was not the conditions to be throwing the ball around, it was a day for grinding it out, working hard for each other and sticking tight in the forwards.
"I thought we played the conditions very well. We showed that in the second half when we controlled field position, got the ball in the right areas and our forwards worked really hard."
Worcester head coach Richard Hill refused to be despondent after the lost and was quick to praise his side's performance.
"We played some superb rugby," Hill said. "A year ago you wouldn't have seen Worcester play with that intent of producing 15-man rugby.
"We did not finish things off but we have just got to persevere with that type of rugby. It is the rugby the players want to play. Today we got beaten by a power game. We knew what was coming with the scrum and the lineout maul and we couldn't deal with it."

Most well-seasoned air travelers know the drill: The moment you hear the words "brief safety demonstration," you probably tune out and crack open your book.
But a Southwest Airlines flight attendant who "had a long day" used a bit of humor and successfully commanded the attention of the entire cabin.
"My ex-husband, my new boyfriend and their divorce attorney are going to show you the safety features of this Boeing 737 800 series," the flight attendant, identified by Digital Journal as Marty Cobb, said, eliciting laughs from the passengers heading to Salt Lake City.
Here are a few of the highlights from her comedy sketch posted to YouTube Saturday:
- "Position your seat belt tight and low against your hips, like my grandmother wears her support bra."
- "Everybody gets a door prize in the seatback pocket in front of you — along with dirty diapers, chewing gum wrappers, banana peels and all other gifts you leave for us from time to time — it's the safety information card."
- In the unlikely event of a water landing, "everyone gets their very own, teenie weenie yellow Southwest bikini."
- "As you know it's a no-smoking, no-whining, no-complaining flight. It's a please and thank you, and you are such a good looking flight attendant flight."
- "If you're traveling with small children … we're sorry."
- "Basically, just do what we say and nobody gets hurt."
Watch the whole sketch for yourself:
"This is why I love #SouthwestAirlines […] Their employees enjoy their jobs!" a commenter on the YouTube video wrote.

ANALYSIS Who Won This Round in Gaza, Israel or Hamas? Only Time Will Tell

PLYMOUTH, MICH. -- No real surprise here: Adam Dennis will start the OHL playoffs in goal for the London Knights. Creasemate Gerald Coleman may have the best numbers in the Canadian Hockey League, but Dennis knows the Knights' first-round opponent inside out. He played with the Guelph Storm for more than 2 1/2 seasons before being traded to London Jan. 10.
"It came down to familiarity . . . Adam knows the team very well," Knights head coach Dale Hunter said last night.
The Storm have yet to announce who'll start for them on Thursday, but don't be surprised if it's Ryan MacDonald.
The Knights dealt him to the Storm to get Dennis after he was outstanding in last year's conference final, when Guelph upset London in seven games then went on to win the OHL championship.
MacDonald will be looking for revenge after being traded away by the Memorial Cup-bound Knights after he set an OHL record last season with a 2.06 goals-against average.
Coleman will erase that record this season as he carries a CHL-best 1.64 goals-against average into tonight's final regular-season game in Sault Ste.Marie.
Coleman, 32-1-2, also leads the CHL with eight shutouts, one off the OHL record, and a .943 save percentage.
"I'm disappointed," Coleman said. "With all the work I've done all year, I thought maybe I'd get a chance, but they brought (Dennis) in because of what happened last year and they think he can do it again here for London.
"All I can do is sit back and hope I get a chance. We talked and they said the might think about rotating."
Dennis played in last night's loss to the Plymouth Whalers and has 17-15-6 record (12-4-0 with the Knights), a 2.09 goals-against average, .937 save percentage and six shutouts.
"I feel for both kids," said Hunter, who consultted with the entire coaching staff, before making his choice.
Goalie coach Dave Rook had explained the situation to both goalies Friday, but Hunter didn't reveal it publicly until before last night's game.
"Every kid wants to play," Hunter said. "The toughest part about a goalie is you can only play one.
"That's the toughest part of being a goalie -- you're either in or you're out. You can't go down to the third or fourth line (like a forward)."
Hunter said the choice to start Dennis is for Game 1 and by no means should anyone read any more into it.
"I don't worry about the future," he said. "Adam will start against Guelph.
"Gerald played well against Kitchener," Hunter added, as the Rangers are a potential second-round opponent.

My 18 month old H20 mop handle just sheared right off when I was cleaning my kitchen floor. Part of the handle was lodged in the lower part of the mop, it is still stuck there and is impossible to remove. Thane told me I could send it for repair at a cost of £35 plus £9.99 for a new handle. Cheaper to buy a new one for £49 at the local hardware store, I said there is an obvious design fault but they put the blame on me! I am disgusted at their lack of interest in this problem.

You would be far better with a mop and hot water. It only lasted 14 months used about 20 times. Does not get anything clean. It is like a little toy and made to look very pretty it simply does not cut the mustard. The floor is barely any cleaner after you have gone over it dozens of times wipe it with a floor wipe and it comes off black so its not removing hardly any of the dirt. It is light to use and starts steaming quite quickly but its not man enough to do a good job… Read Full Review

It's easy to put together, comes with various attachments (or at least it does once they've sent the missing bits) and for gadget-heads like me the X5 should tick plenty of boxes. Downside however is that this product just doesn't do what they claim it will. Living in a hard water area I wanted it for limescale cleaning. Despite the ads demonstration of it being used on shower doors, tiles and grout it has no effect whatsoever on limescale. I've since bought some cheap scouring sponges and… Read Full Review

I love a clean house and do enjoy a good gadget. I have had this machine for 13 months although I've only used it half a dozen times as its fiddly to get out and prepare to use. I was reasonably happy with the results though, but now it has just stopped steaming. Like others I have cleaned it and gone through the processes recommended.

I found it to make plenty of steam and the brush that is supplied with the cleaner when used with the jet nozzle has no guts to when you try to clean the grouting; just using the jet nozzle on the grout will not remove the grime ether the steamer dose not seem powerful enough.

For Immediate Release
MONT TREMBLANT – March 26, 2014 – Mont Tremblant will play host to a village-wide public freeski competition, Red Bull Foret Urbaine, on Saturday, April 12, 2014. To close the ski and snowboard season, the competition will showcase Canada's top freeskiers as they descend through a custom designed 'jib' course constructed entirely of natural log features, built completely outdoors in the streets of the village. Open to spectators into the evening, the freeski event is partially inspired by the world-renowned Red Bull Playstreets.
The Red Bull Foret Urbaine course will pay tribute to Mont Tremblant's storied history of logging. With obstacles that are 'locally sourced' and constructed entirely from logs, the course will stretch a full 400m long, challenging skiers to navigate down two lines stemming from a local Mont Tremblant hotel room balcony. Ending with a 15-foot cannon pipe, skiers will make the final drop into a closed street and across the course finish line. A panel of judges on-site will crown one ultimate winner.
WHAT: Red Bull Foret Urbaine, a public showcase of Canada's top freeskiers on an all-log 'jib' course built
through the streets of the Mont-Tremblant village
WHO: Speak with local invited freeski competitors

NVidia GEForce2 MX400 (Retail boxed version) 2D/3D AGP Graphics Card; 64MB SDRAM Sit tight & fasten your seatbelts. The technical jargon involved with a graphics card review might prove a rollercoaster of confusion. I'll try to make the ride as easy and comfortable as possible... -- Although QuakeII is my occasional anger management therapist, I'm not a hardcore gamer by any means. Most of my PC based computing is confined to Linux and utilises the assistance of development environments (think: programming), graphics suites (think: gimp/photoshop) and film/video remastering tools (state: the obvious). So, when it comes to a graphics card, why would I need one with 3D acceleration? That's only required for games right? Wrong! More and more media software (inparticular) utilises 3D hardware acceleration thesedays, so it's handy to have a 3D graphics card for even the most general tasks. Besides: the windowing systems of the future - such as E17 under Linux - allow users to interact with three dimensional objects on the desktop, so opting for 3D capable hardware is good protection for the future - assuming companies like Microsoft eventually implement similar technology. "But all graphics cards in stores thesedays are 3D accelerated aren't they?" Aaah...but that isn't really the point! Whatever amount of money you set aside for a graphics card, you'll notice a vast array of competing products. Some good; some not so good. If your budget is tight (£20-£30), there are so many bad graphics cards available, the NVidia GeForce2 MX400 shines out like a light. OH...ERM... WHAT'S A 'GRAPHICS CARD'? Just in case I'm losing less technical readers: take a look at the socket on the back of your computer which the monitor plugs into. On many computers, that is attached to a circuit board (visible only inside the PC case) which slots ea
sily into and out of the computer. That is the graphics card. If you ever isolate performance problems to your graphics card, you can easily replace it with a better model. On some computers, the graphics card is 'integrated' and not removable. However, you can usually still add a new one. IN THE BOX Aside from the NVidia GeForce2 MX400 (AGP) graphics card, you will find upon unpacking: a driver and software CD, a thorough manual (English only) and a dual composite/s-video cable for connecting to a normal television set. SETTING UP Installing the graphics card is a fairly simple process. Once you take the cover off the computer, you merely have to replace the old graphics card with the new one; unslot one, insert the other in it's place. Once the case has been reassembled, and the computer switched on, you only have to install the drivers. All versions of Windows (from Win95 upwards) will detect the new graphics card and request the CD. Linux drivers can be downloaded from NVidia's website. CAUTION: Always keep yourself grounded with an anti-static bracelet when opening up your computer case and/or adding & removing components. BIG SCREEN, TELEVISION OUTPUT Although only really useful for playing games and watching DVD movies, this NVidia graphics card can send it's output to your TV. Attempting to use software like word processors on a normal television is not good for your eyes (or your sanity). Also worth noting is that if your television doesn't have a composite or s-video socket, your VCR probably does. Even in the worst possible scenario, you can buy a SCART adapter (approx. £5) which should fit any video made during the past decade (at least). The TV signal output decoder is both PAL (European) and NTSC (American) compliant so compatibility shouldn't be a problem on either side of the pond. CLEAR & SHARP AT NUMEROUS RESOLUTIONS Thanks to the onboard 35
0MHz RAMDAC, your desktop resolution is more likely to be held back by your monitor. Before I confuse you with a term like RAMDAC, allow me to at least decrypt the acronym: Random Access Memory Digital-to-Analog Converter. In a nutshell, this converts each digitised screenful of data to analogue so that the monitor can understand and display it. The faster the RAMDAC (measured in MHz), the faster the screen will refresh at each given resolution. The RAMDAC on this card is capable of a 2048x1536 maximum screen resolution at a flicker-free 75Hz vertical refresh rate. An absolutely stunning vertical refresh rate of 240Hz is achievable at the following, more commonly used resolutions: 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768. If you're confused by 'vertical refresh rates', feel free to check out my Hansol 710P review which goes into far more detail. YOU MENTIONED AGP EARLIER. WHAT IS AGP? AGP stands for: Accelerated Graphics Port. It is a slot on the Motherboard (inside the computer case) into which you insert AGP compatible graphics cards. In the old days, graphics cards plugged into PCI slots which (at 33MHz) could only transfer 132MB of data per second. The newer AGP protocol can (at 66MHz) transfer data at a maximum rate of 256MB of data per second. The advantages for highly intensive 3D graphics applications like games and media software are enormous. However, this NVidia card supports further improvements to the AGP protocol - and provided you have a Motherboard capable of AGP 2x or AGP 4x - data transfer rates become astonishing: from 512MB per second to 1GB per second. Other AGP technologies supported are: AGP Texturing and Fast Writes Support. Simplified: This means highly detailed textures in computer games will be dealt with by the graphics card (rather than the CPU). So the CPU can work on other tasks instead and detailed textures will be processed far more quickly and efficiently. HIGH QUALITY
DVD PLAYBACK Not only does this graphics card come bundled with Intervideo WinDVD (for watching DVD movies) but the onboard High-Definition Video Processor (HDVP) is useful for those who have problems with 'frame skipping' and lipsync. Two annoyances which all too often degrade playback on PCs. Be warned though, any computer with a processor slower than a Pentium 350MHz, is likely to have problems playing back DVDs without a dedicated DVD decoder (but that's a whole other product to review). With DirectShow, MPeG-1, and MPeG-2 (DVD) acceleration, it's not just DVDs that benefit from the NVidia hardware, but VCDs and Windows media files (asf, wmv, etc.) too. For the record, the HDVP is pretty astonishing for a graphics card in this price range. DVD playback is not only flawless on my computer, but there is no pixellation of the picture whatsoever. Lipsync simply does not occur. GAMERS GALORE Remember my earlier confession? I'm not a hardcore gamer. But I am aware of this graphics cards potential and I'll start with the bells and whistles. Considering ATI originally pitched their Rage 128 Pro graphics cards against the NVidia GeForce2 range, the latter performed a lot better and got rave reviews as a result. Unlike ATI's competing card, it has so much more to offer. For example: The Integrated Transform and Lighting delivers 2 to 4 times the triangle rate for more detailed 3D scenes by freeing up the CPU cycles normally used for this task. Transformation, lighting, setup and rendering are all produced by separate engines allowing the delivery of 25 million triangles per second and giving applications the possibility of representing 3D characters and environments with the highest degree of complexity possible. With 64MB of SDRAM, video memory can be transferred at astonishingly high speeds of 2.7GB per second. All NVidia GeForce2 cards support DirectX and OpenGL - so the rendering and ac
celeration of most games should be well supported indeed. In a nutshell: OpenGL and DirectX are high-end graphics libraries which make it easier for software developers to produce high quality 3D applications (such as games) that can be accelerated with the correct hardware (such as the NVidia GeForce2 MX400). ON THE GROUND Playing the game is the real test and Quake II (using OpenGL for rendering) achieves a frame rate of 250 fps at a resolution of 1024x768. Again, less technical readers might wish to note that 24fps is required to successfully fool the eye into thinking we are seeing continuous motion. So the result in this case is fantastic and incredibly smooth gameplay. Even DirectX based games that I consider intensive perform particularly well. Midtown Madness II for example can be a nightmare on some computers. Particularly when driving a car across complex, highly detailed areas like the city-side of the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco. Although it's not possible to get fps information whilst playing this game, it is fast and smooth and - at a resolution of 800x600 - I estimate the framerate runs at between 60-120 fps - depending upon the complexity of the scene. 3D IN 3D! One feature I'm particularly blown away by is the 3D Stereo Driver. Thesedays, gamers can buy stereo headsets and glasses to play their chosen game in virtual reality. Aside from supporting such hardware, the NVidia GeForce2 range (and more recent) allows you to use your old paper 3D glasses (one blue/one red lens) to achieve the next best thing at low cost. Most DirectX & OpenGL games are supported by the stereo driver and - although not perfect with paper 3D glasses - it is a really cool and worthwhile feature to have! CONCLUDING The interesting thing about the NVidia GeForce2 MX400 is that it's a fantastic, low budget, 2D/3D graphics card which benefits both Windows and Linux users equally well. NVi
dia are one of the few graphics card manufacturers to provide supported Linux drivers and for users of this cliquey Operating System - it is a godsend. NVidia deliver faster framerates on Linux than any other manufacturer and additional features (such as TV-Out and DVD acceleration) are all supported too. Windows users benefit from so much more besides. Good DVD playback, good 3D acceleration, stereo drivers (gimmick or not, it's cool), native OpenGL and DirectX support and NVidia constantly release new drivers - even for older cards. If you're spending approx. £25 on a graphics card then yes, you can buy quality in this price range. And the NVidia GeForce2 MX400 should do you nicely. NOTES: Performance tests above all carried out on an AMD AthlonTB 1.13GHz PC with 512MB SDRAM. REFERENCES: NVidia: http://www.nvidia.com Intervideo (WinDVD): http://www.intervideo.com Hansol 710P review: http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/computers/monitors/hansol_710p/_review/410693/
I have used several graphics cards based around these chip-sets, Althpough I am not interested in overclocking/benchmaring or other techie type pursuits this is what I have found in general use. Many manufacturers offer cards based on the MX. The brand should make little difference to performance, the only real consideration is if you need extra features, e.g. TV out. The Nvidia G-Force 2 MX now covers a wide variety of graphics cards so it is important to understand exactly what you are buying. The original Geforce MX was a cut down version of the Geforce 2. These original MX's offered excellent performance at a very reasonable price but are now hard to find. The MX range has been divided into two, the MX200 and MX400. I have seen cards advertised which do not make it clear which version they are. It is important to know this as the performance of the MX200 is decidedly lacklustre whereas the MX400 is acceptable for the price (£50-£60). All modern 3d games that I have tried on an MX400 run at decent refresh rates with reasonable detail settings. Don't worry too much about the amount of onboard memory supplied with the card. Not many applications seem to make much use of 64Mb as opposed to the 32 MB often found. It is far better to get a 32 Mb MX400 than a 64 MB MX200. In short a Geforce MX400 makes an excellent choice for a PC gamer who cannot stretch to the more expensive options, a doddle to install with Nvidias drivers that I have yet to have a compatabilty issue with. AS an upgrade from an older Voodoo or TNT based card they are well worth it. If you have got a few more pounds to spend it may be worth shopping around for a Geforce GTS card or even a Kyro II based card.

David Dimbleby misses Question Time after testy bullock encounter
David Dimbleby last night missed hosting Question Time for the first time in more than 15 years after he was injured by a bullock in a farming accident.
The presenter, who recently officiated over BNP leader Nick Griffin's appearance on the show, was knocked unconscious on Wednesday when the animal reared as he loaded it on to a trailer.
Radio 4's Today programme presenter and Mastermind quizmaster John Humphrys will temporarily replace the 71-year-old on Thursday's edition of the show.
Dimbleby was knocked out only briefly but required stitches for a gash to his head. He was treated for concussion and was said to be "recovering well".
He remained in hospital on Thursday as a precaution because of the head injury but is expected to return home soon, the BBC confirmed.
He thanked medical staff for their care and said he looked forward to returning to the programme next week.
"I haven't missed a Question Time in over 15 years. Trust my wife's bullock to take me out. I'll be giving bullocks a wide berth in future," he said.

My husband and I have booked our trip for May 2014 and have two kids (almost 4 and 6 1/2 yo). We are going as sort of a reconnaissance trip. We hope to travel for an extended period of time or live there by late 2015 if plans go accordingly. We've never been so we want to get a feel for the country to see if it's somewhere we'd like to stay longer. We're looking at Costa Rica because it sounds relaxing and safe, and there is good surfing for the husband and kids.
We will be there 15 days and are renting a car. I was thinking:
* Start in Cahuita or Puerto Viejo to experience the Caribbean coast. We get in 11:30am, sounds like it shouldn't be a problem to head straight there from San Jose Airport?
* Would like one hiking trip, thinking maybe Arenal Hanging Bridges because it sounds easier to get to than Monteverde. Also the kids might enjoy the hot springs.
* On to Samara or Nosara. My husband is curious about the Blue Rivers. Is it worth a side visit on the way?
* Maybe drive down to Santa Teresa or Mal Pais? I heard Mal Pais can have loud evening parties and is more for a younger crowd? Not sure if we should skip this area completely.
* Ferry back somewhere closer to airport because our flight is 12:30pm. Any suggestions for this last night? Stay in Jaco, or another town, or just stay close to airport in San Jose?
* A friend mentioned Dominical but I was afraid this would be too far down south for our stay.
We're looking for towns that are laid back and relaxing. Not too interested in adventure activities for now. The kids are NOT into seeing animals We live by the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park and they are not excited by the animals but enjoy running around on the paths. In past travels, we've enjoyed staying longer in small villages with less bustle vs sightseeing/activity/tourist spots, which we still enjoy as side trips. We don't want to be anywhere too remote but we also don't want anywhere too touristy. Any suggestions would be appreciated regarding our choices of towns.
Not interested in expensive or fancy resorts. We don't mind basic accommodations and unless a place is absolutely amazing, would prefer to save money on accommodations. Any suggestions on reasonably priced but not super budget accommodations would also be appreciated. I did budget backpacking 10 years ago in SE Asia and am hoping to bump it up a notch.
Thanks for all the valuable information I've already gotten from the Forum and thanks in advance for any input.

Non-resort travel in Costa Rica with two children (4 and 6 yo)
My husband and I have booked our trip for May 2014 and have two kids (almost 4 and 6 1/2 yo). We are going as sort of a reconnaissance trip. We hope to travel for an extended period of time or live there by late 2015 if plans go accordingly.

The Hanging Bridges are nice. You can explore them on your own, or hire a guide if you want to increase your chances of seeing wildlife. I think your kids would enjoy the natural hot springs. Go with Tabacon if you want fancy with a waterslide, or Eco Termales if you want smaller, charming, and locally owned. You can also do a waterfall hike; that's really beautiful, lots of steps, and you can hike at the volcano as well. The Penas Blancas river float is fun if you want to take a little trip down the river. I was going to suggest Proyecto Asis animal rescue center, but sounds like your kids wouldn't be that interested if they aren't into seeing wildlife.

I forgot to mention that Jaco has a reputation for being kind of a party spot, so I'd lean away from staying there with young kids. Have not stayed there personally so maybe someone else can give you more info.

And for hotels, both Silencio del Campo and Los Lagos are really popular with young families.

Volcanogirl, Thanks for the quickly response! Your posts to others' questions have been helpful, too. As for Jaco, that confirms what I've heard from others. Where else could we stay for our last two days within driving to the Will look into your activity/hotel suggestions.
Suggestions re: the other towns I mentioned would be appreciated from anyone who knows anything about them. Thanks!

Samara is a great, relaxed town with lots of food and hotel options. we spent a month there a while ago and would've been happy to stay longer. What's nice is that the waves aren't huge and little kids can safely play in the ocean- hard to find in CR. There are surf schools on the beach. It's not a very touristy town and therefore less expensive and the beach is very quiet. You can go horse back riding for around $10 for an hour. Check out Villas Kalimba. It's our favorite place there. Nosara has rough surf. We went with our 5 yr. old last year and I would not let him go in far. It's also very spread out and doesn't feel like a town. If you're trying to avoid tourists, you may want to check out the Puerto Viejo area. it's a long drive, but worth it.
Report Abuse
We didn't care for Nosara as much as most other areas in CR we've visited.. Maybe it was the lack of an obvious community. Maybe it was the presence of mainly expats. Maybe it was that we were spoiled by visiting the comparatively wild Osa Peninsula and other areas. of CR. Whatever it was, it was the only area in CR we wouldn't choose to return to. We didn't dislike it though. We had a great time, and were impressed with the resident's efforts to save the rainforest.
Report Abuse
Thanks mad & Cattail for your input. Samara is sounding great and that makes it easier to choose between there and Nosara. Samara it is!. Now we're considering cutting out our trip to the Caribbean in favor of hanging out for a longer period of time in Samara and perhaps visiting Quepos and Playa Dominical instead. All suggestions are welcome re: exploring possible low key places to live with good surf for a 6 yo. Thanks!
Report Abuse
Yes, I think sticking to one coast is a good idea. You'll be in the car for a very long time otherwise. it can take 4-5 hrs. to drive to Puerto Viejo from the SJO airport, due to slow traffic. I'm not sure how you'd get to Samara from there, but am guessing you need to drive back to SJ and then drive the additional 4 hrs. to Samara. Quepos is not low key, but Manuel Antonio is worth a visit. Even if your kids aren't into seeing animals, you'd be missing a lot if you don't visit the rainforest somewhere. There isn't that much within driving distance to Samara, other than Carrillo, which a pretty beach and very small town, so you're best of exploring more around the Quepos area and then relaxing in Samara.
Report Abuse
We really liked Manuel Antonio too - very pretty beach inside the park, tons of monkeys, and the Damas mangrove tour. It's touristed but not built up with tall buildings or anything like that. Loved how lush and green it was. Do you get that in Samara? I've heard that area can be a lot drier but have not had a chance to visit it yet. Samara sounds great. The Quepos area is actually the more industrial part, and MA is where the tourists are up on the hill.
Report Abuse
The area around Samara is definitely drier with less wildlife. It's really a beautiful beach area. Monkeys are fairly easy to spot, but you don't see toucans, sloths, etc like in MA. BTW, I should mention that the Liberia airport is significantly closer to Samara than SJO, not to mention a much more pleasant experience!
Report Abuse
Thanks, mad. Were they howler and capuchin monkeys?
Montezuma is another area that looks like it might be fun.

I'm pretty sure they've got spider monkeys and howler monkeys around, if I recall correctly. I haven't been to Montezuma, but it does look nice!

Manuel Antonio is sounding very nice, especially with the kids. They might get excited about toucans, sloths, and monkeys in the "wild" as compared to a zoo. They better!

We stayed at Tulemar Bungalows - loved it because they had their own beach so it was really convenient. Free kayaks and boogie boards, and we could look out our window and see capuchin monkeys climbing and eating fruit in the trees, saw several sloths including a baby one, and also an aracari. I'm not sure if the area would be too touristed for you or not. There are a lot of Americans that live in the area. If you think you might like it, check out Manuel Antonio Expeditions.

Thousands of foreign workers are being evacuated from Libya's second-largest city, as Europe, the United States and the United Nations donate more than $30 million to help a chaotic exodus of almost 200,000 who have fled the North African nation.
Tens of thousands more were massing at the borders just inside Libya, perched in camps or roughing it outside while awaiting evacuation, safe passage or asylum. Those who did so braved cold weather, lack of food and water, and other dangers. Thousands more were frozen in place, fearful of the intense fighting.
President Barack Obama announced Thursday he has approved the use of U.S. military aircraft and civilian flights to get people out. "The violence must stop. Moammar Gadhafi has lost the legitimacy to lead and he must leave," Obama said.
Immigration officials began evacuating 5,500 foreign workers Thursday from the eastern Libyan port of Benghazi, now held by rebels opposed to Gadhafi's regime.
The European Union said it is donating euro10 million ($14 million) to help Tunisia evacuate tens of thousands of refugees who have been pouring across the border as they flee Libya's escalating civil war. A roughly equal number is crossing from Libya into Egypt.
The U.S. provided $10 million, the U.N. $5 million, and European Commission is giving euro3 million ($4.1 million) to help the evacuations. Switzerland also pitched in a half-million francs.
International Organization for Migration officials said almost 200,000 have now crossed from Libya into Tunisia, Egypt and Niger. It said nine flights provided by Britain and the U.N. refugee agency based in Geneva were flying nearly 1,700 people from Djerba, Tunisia, to Cairo, on Thursday.
Those efforts will help bring another 2,250 stranded Egyptians home over the next five days as France lends two planes to the effort.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said after a conference call Thursday with Mideast, African, European, U.N. and migration officials that much more help was getting to the refugees in the last 24 hours. He said he would soon name a special envoy to handle the crisis.
However, the U.N. says a ship carrying more than 1,000 metric tons of food aid bound for Libya's opposition stronghold of Benghazi has turned back without unloading because of security fears. The World Food Program appealed for a safe humanitarian corridor to make sure all aid gets to those in need.
The Rome-based agency said the ship bringing in wheat at the request of the Red Crescent in eastern Libya returned to Malta on Thursday because bombings had been reported outside Benghazi's port. Benghazi is held by Libya's opposition.
WFP chief Josette Sheeran said the agency is preparing contingency plans in case needs grow inside Libya. The WFP is already providing food aid to people who have crossed into Tunisia and Egypt.
Relief agencies based in Geneva provided a grim account of the situation in Libya and along its borders.
At Benghazi's port and surrounding warehouses, the first to be airlifted out were about 200 women, children and medical patients. Evacuees-in-waiting were mostly from Bangladesh, India and Sudan, and a few from Syria and Ghana.
Most were too afraid of being shot in the fighting, or didn't know there was help waiting at the Egyptian border. And many, particularly those from sub-Saharan African, are undocumented, making a border crossing more difficult. Libyan port authorities, out from under Gadhafi's yoke, also were trying to help.
Libyan Red Crescent aides and international immigration officials were escorting small groups by road to the Egyptian border at Salum. About 3,000 people had reached there from inside Libya, and were waiting until ships could be found to take them to Alexandria in Egypt.
But about 3,000 Bangladeshis and 1,000 northern Sudanese were trapped in a no-man's land between Libya and Egypt, where emergency workers were trying to bring them food, water and medicine.
Countless people were stuck near the Egyptian, Tunisian, and Niger borders, lacking food or shelter in freezing weather. Others who had managed to escape Libya were similarly stranded without food or proper gear in Turkey, Malta and Greece.
An International Organization for Migration official in Geneva said one Nigerian migrant worker reported that 6,000-10,000 other foreigner laborers, families and pregnant women were trapped in Al Khums, a town on the Mediterranean coast of Libya. He said the group included West Africans, Chinese and Filipinos.
The officials said food supplies were low, illness was spreading and fear of reprisals against foreigners were keeping them indoors.
Filipinos, Vietnamese, Sri Lankans, Nepalese and many other Africans were stranded in large numbers in Sirt, Tripoli, Wazem and Misrata, Libya. Many are without documents and passports, which were taken by their employers.

When Overwhelmed: Do The Next Indicated Thing
One of the most common experiences of people who suffer anxiety is feeling overwhelmed. I remember the same feeling – and fear – whenever a term paper or taxes were due or in any situation that seemed too big to tackle.
The feeling that I had to have the whole operation "figured out" before I could even begin paralyzed me. I'd be so overwhelmed that it would trigger the fight-or-flight response, and I usually chose flight.
For years I'd wait until the last minute to face these tasks, then block out all other endeavors and, with an exhausting effort, just make the deadline.
In the end I'd opt to fight and force myself, through fear and emotional violence, to just get it over with. I could finally set my perfectionism aside, because it had become more important just to get the damn thing done than salvage my ego's desire to do an exceptional job.
I'd then usually get the job done but be completely out of balance. I wouldn't have eaten or slept well, so I'd be prone to getting sick. Both fear-driven avoiding and taking action would flood my body with adrenalin and then its counter, cortisol, robbing my immune system and other biological functions.
I now understand that this tendency signals a person who might have ADD, with which I have since been diagnosed. It is also common to those who have high sensitivity to anxiety and believe imperfection is not acceptable – both of which drive procrastination.
You may relate to the panic and feeling overwhelmed when faced with a task you're not confident about. It may be something new, such as starting a business or learning a new software program critical to advancing at work. It may be something at which you've failed in the past, such as changing a bad habit or dating.
You may tend to compare yourself to others and notice they seem to do with ease things you can't, so you conclude something's wrong with you. You may want to make sure you won't fail, so you avoid the pain of potential failure.
You may have many reasons to put off a "dread" project, but they all stem from the same place: your fear that overwhelms your senses and ability to act. You freeze, which is also part of the fight-or-flight response.
There is a simple way to interrupt this painful cycle, so simple you might discount its power. And it's as powerful as it is simple.
Here's its three-step process:
Slow down and breathe. Relax the tension in your body and mind for just a few minutes.
Commit to spending just a few minutes to an hour on the project, no matter if what you do is good enough or even useful. Just commit a small amount of time, just for today.
Ask yourself what's the next thing you need to do to advance the project. An outline? Reading and researching? Buying a tool? What is the very next thing? Then do It.

Very thin. I would not use this if I didn't already have darker hair, was wearing a black wig cap and had my hair under a hat mostly. It's a very cheap quality wig but it does the job I need it to. I don't think you'd want to try styling this thing.

I've worked with Ink Brigade twice to do various-sized runs of t-shirts for my company. They've totally rocked it both times.
Perhaps best of all, their pricing seems to be the best that I've seen locally. They also don't have any additional set-up or screen fees.
Their customer service is extremely friendly, helpful, and patient (on the first order, we probably spent a week or two just deciding what kind of shirt we wanted to use. They were totally helpful despite all our indecisiveness).
They have a wide selection of apparel that can be screen-printed, although not everything is available in a hurry. It'd definitely a good idea to order as soon in advance as you can to be sure that they'll be able to get all the shirts (or whatever) that you need. With our first order, we were on a quick turnaround and they weren't able to source the shirts that we wanted in time, but they helped up figure out a great alternative. The second time, we learned out lesson and ordered WAAAAY in advance. Unfortunately, their online catalogue is a real pain to navigate, especially if you don't know exactly what product you want to print on.
The printing seems to be good quality. I've washed one of the shirts that they've done a dozen times or so and the screen printing still looks as good as new.
They also offer free delivery in Portland (and sometimes the suburbs), which is a nice plus.
