Jurgen Melzer of Austria reached his first quarterfinal of the season with a 6-4, 7-5 victory Wednesday over Agustin Calleri in the second round of the Austrian Open.
The second-seeded Melzer, ranked at a career-high No. 26, had five aces and converted his fourth match point against Calleri, who won the event in 2006.
"If you let him play, Calleri will put you under a lot of pressure. So I tried to make him run a lot," Melzer said. "I didn't play as well as I can, so I am just glad to be through."
Melzer will take on seventh-seeded Mikhail Youzhny in the quarterfinals.
Youzhny, who reached the final of the BMW Open in Munich this month, defeated Stefan Koubek 6-2, 6-4.
Third-seeded Victor Hanescu also advanced after downing Marcel Granollers 6-1, 7-6 (2).
Daniel Koellerer of Austria routed Diego Junqueira of Argentina 6-1, 6-2 to reach his second quarterfinal of the year. He next plays Julien Benneteau of France, who had 13 aces while defeating Nicolas Massu of Chile 6-1, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (7).
Juan Ignacio Chela defeated Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo 6-3, 6-2, and will play Oscar Hernandez, who beat wild card Andreas Beck 7-5, 6-4.

I ordered this shield and the mount kit and received it in two days. After reading the install instructions a couple of times and getting familiar with the parts, the install was simple and quick. It is solid and the QD feature works great. Highly recommended.
Great windshield. The only bad thing i have to say about this windshield is that when I ride with my glasses on I have to get used to them fogging up due to the windshield blocking the wind.
This is a perfect fit for the Honda Shadow Aero.....very retro looking. Coverage and wind protection is superior. Snaps into place in a matter of seconds. Removes just as quickly. I was somewhat concerned after mounting it that it would hold up during freeway driving and that it might vibrate. So far it's rock steady and shows no signs of being buffeted by cross winds. I'm so please with the product that I'm ordering a "Shorty" and storage bag, too.
Worked as advertised. Was very impressed with how solid it felt after it snapped into place.

It is hard to pinpoint the precise moment when "good jobs" disappeared from national discourse, ignored by our leaders and the media that cover them. The phrase was invoked during President Obama's campaign—that is, his first run for the presidency. But it soon disappeared in a West Wing dominated by Wall Street. This time around it was altogether gone from campaign rhetoric, a vanishing act with catastrophic consequences for millions of Americans. "Good jobs" continues to be banished from national discourse, as if the censors of capital wished it away.
Corporations have nothing to say on the subject, intent to hold down wages and sit on vast amounts of capital – some $3.4 trillion, by last count. Over the next decade, 7 of 10 new jobs will be low wage, reports the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The rate of corporate profit is at its highest level in more than a century, according to Bloomberg. That's quite a record… Coolidge, Harding, Eisenhower, Reagan, Clinton, Bush II… all left in the dust.
Wall Street is thriving. The stock market S&P index shot up 13% in 2012, and JPMorgan Chase had its best year ever in 2012, with Goldman Sachs close behind. Indeed, the 1% continues to accumulate vast wealth and U.S. economic inequality becomes more pronounced, even as alarms go off at the International Monetary Fund and elsewhere that inequality undercuts growth.
In spite of it all, everyone knows this central truth: Life is at a dead end in this country without a full-time job at a good wage and with decent benefits.
Since the Inauguration earlier this month, official debate has focused on debt ceilings, women in combat roles and most recently on immigration. These are hardly irrelevant matters; but in the end they fill front pages and newscasts where we should see and hear the clamoring for good jobs.
The immediate goal of the Robin Hood Tax is to put revenue into the many communities still reeling from the effects of the financial collapse of 2008. An estimated $350 billion can be raised annually from a small sales tax on Wall Street financial transactions, today embodied in The Inclusive Prosperity Act, sponsored by Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN). More than 125 organizations – labor, religious, consumer, health advocates and others – have endorsed the bill. Together these groups total millions in members. They join financial transaction tax movements worldwide; 40 countries have such a tax in place today, as economists, even leading business executives, are raising their voices in support.
While the corporate sector in this country staunchly refuses to invest in good jobs, government must step forward, invoking Robin Hood tax revenue for good jobs in healthcare, in education, to provide a clean environment and to rebuild a deteriorating infrastructure. Our communities are falling down around us.
Many millions need these jobs. There are a staggering 22 million adult Americans who are without full-time jobs today and for whom the hardship of enduring unemployment is taking a terrible toll. Some are recent college graduates, loaded down with debt from escalating school costs. A Rutgers University survey found that half the college grads in this country over the last six years do not have full-time employment. Robin Hood funds can help them get a start in life.
What we do not need are more low wage jobs, as the numbers of working poor grow each year to astonishing levels in this, the wealthiest country in the world. According to the Census Bureau, one-third of adults who live in poverty are working but do not earn enough to support themselves and their families. A quarter of jobs in America pay below the federal poverty line for a family of four - $23,050. Close to half of food stamp allocation goes to households where an adult is working full-time- that's taxpayer money paid to workers whose bosses won't pay a living wage.
Our government should join Rep. Ellison and his co-sponsors and embrace the Robin Hood tax and its call for good jobs in a real economy. Without it, and the yearly revenue it would provide for an enduring recovery for all, the legacy of our nation's leaders will be poverty on a vast scale.

ApproachFor approach to Quebrada Ishinca see the main page.
Route DescriptionFrom the Quebrada Ishinca you must to cross the river in the south side of Quebrada (the little bridge is lightly towards the west from the refuge). For a path in the mountain you must walk little by little to search the exit of the Quebrada to the right side (signal Ishinca / Ranrapalca). The path follow in the hillside over the Lake Ishinca (generally if you begin the route in the night you don't see the lake but you hear the sound of the water) and continue to the south to reach the zone of the great pieces of granitic rocks ("morrena") near of the glacier (attention to the cairns). In the glacier you must avoid the crevasses (breaks) and you follow the evident way to reach the wide ridge SW under the impressive Ranrapalca. This col it's a good place to rest in the descent. The wide ridge is easy from here but in the last part you can to walk in 50º in 4-5 meters near of the summit with one crevasse (break) under the last meters.
The return is for the same route. This is the route of descent for the other routes as well.

Two Comedies (The Pattern and The Problem)
By Brian Harris and A.R. Gurney. Through February 19 at Edge Theatre, 4141 NE Second Ave., Miami; 305-316-5221. Tickets cost $10-$20.
In a not-so-coincidental kick in the pants of the Twilight series of books and films, The Pattern, written by Brian Harris, tells the tale of a young girl seeking professional advice on her relationship with a man she's met online. And while she has a pattern of attracting weirdos and entering into bad relationships, this one is particularly askew. Her new boyfriend, it turns out, is a vampire. The Problem, written by A.R. Gurney, is a sort of marital exploration of the absurd: A couple traces the exact point at which the woman conceived a child, trying to figure out whether the husband fathered the baby or not. The tale takes several comical, unexpected turns that eventually reveal not-so-normal secrets about this seemingly average couple.
Miami theater
Crimes of the Heart
By Beth Henley. Through February 27 at Main Street Players, 6766 Main St., Miami Lakes; 305-558-3737; mainstreetplayers.com. Tickets cost $18-$20.

Beth Henley's tragic comedy about the Magrath sisters, and the fickle predicament in which each one finds herself, hits Main Street Players. Set in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, sisters Meg, Babe, and Lenny reunite at their grandfather's home after one of them has shot her abusive husband. One sister comes to the reunion with delusions of grandeur about her life and career, while the eldest is about to go nuts on all of them. Meanwhile, their mother has hanged herself and the family cat. Each sister is forced to tell her tale of woe, while facing the inevitable consequences her life has wrought. Ron Torres, Marilyn Gresh, and Nori Tecosky are joined by newcomers Laurel Welch and Betsy Cox.
Zero Hour
By Jim Brochu. Through February 27 at Aventura Arts & Cultural Center, 3385 NE 188th St., Aventura; 954-462-0222; aventuracenter.org. Tickets cost $36.
Set in theater legend Zero Mostel's painting studio, Zero Hour chronicles a naive reporter's attempts to interview the famously volatile artist, prompting an explosion of memory, humor, outrage, and juicy backstage lore. Best remembered for his comedic genius in definitive roles such as Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, Mostel was equally known for his place on the infamous Hollywood blacklist of the '50s. Jim Brochu, who also wrote the play, won a Carbonell Award for his striking portrayal, which brings all of Mostel's swagger, ferocity, intelligence, and fantastic wit back to the stage for a volcanic performance directed by three-time Oscar-nominated film star Piper Laurie.

Question For Neone..
January 14th, 2009
This has several doctors I have been to baffled! I am already blind. Apparently there is one other known individual (somewhere in North America - I am in Canada) with similar symptoms but the information was not kept. I have been tested for everything from the obvious to the bizarre. I thought if we could find this person or anyone else with these symptoms, we could compare notes, perhaps save time and trouble, maybe even hopefully, learn something definitive - 2 or more heads focused on the same thing are better than 1 maybe!
I am 64 and this only presented itself relatively recently - I have been blind since 2007 and I was an employed, healthy family man prior to this. The symptoms I have today are:
neon blue lights flashing in both eyes...intermittently ! Terrible balance....walk like a drunken sailor and do tire! Sitting too long cause pain in left leg and swelling and left leg is completely numb...hence the reeling and staggering!
I would like to find the individual mentioned above or anyone else with similar symptoms. If you know anyone showing these same symptoms, could you please ask them to get in touch with me via this forum. Thank you.

blue lights
I also see flashing blue lights, as well as other visual anomalies, and suffer from systemic nerve pain. I am not blind, but disabled do to pain and temporal lobe epilepsy. The flashing lights began around the time of the first major seizures, in 2007. Doctors have found no explanation, but since I am unable to drive due to the TLE, it is a minor annoyance. One person told me perhaps they are angels. I don't know about this, but the cerulean blue glow is pretty. Less often, I see larger yellow flashes and sometimes green. My left side is effected by sciatica and peripheral neuropathy. Your balance problems could be due to this. Multiple Sclerosis also affects balance and vision. Migrains and seizures are sometimes preceeded by an "aura", which involves a perceptual distortion such as seeing lights or feeling deja vu. Sounds like you would benefit from visiting a neurologist. Good luck!

I get neon blue light flashes, also..I mostly note them while reading...they are not large,and seemingly pin hole size. I cannot discern from which eye or even if both are affected. I asked 1 ophthamologist and he told me they were (visual) migraines. I have history of migraine auras, but do not suffer bad headaches afterward. These usaually present themselves as zig-zaggy now and widen as it worsens. I rarely get them and thought I had grown out of them. When I was around 13, I got my first aura at school and it was very frightening as well as nauseating. It was more like a bunch camera lightbulbs were flashing in my eyes. The main focal points were blinded by these lights. So I have noted a visual difference in my recent recurring auras as noted formerly.
I went to another ophthamologist because I knew I needed glasses...I was 54 (last yr.) and female (still).
So I asked him and he told I had stumped him and that he had never heard of that kind of "hallucination". We laughed.
However, in the last couple years, I have some neurological anomalies. My left front ankle into leg is entirely numb.I could stab it w/ a pin and couldn't feel..perhaps a nail hammered into it, neither of these will I attempt. I don't think it has affected my balance, but I work on my feet constantly and walk constantly plus I play golf as constantly as possible.
I have had a laminectomy yrs ago and after reinjuring my back apparently I now have 3 herniated discs. I have been to Phys. Therapy in the past and do excercises to make the nerves stop pressing against whatever it's pressing against??? That seems to help.
Also, when I was around 12, I was involved in a hunting accident and my twin brother mistook me for a pheasant. I was several yrds. away from the 20 gage blast, but knew right away that I had been shot in face, neck area.
It felt as if a 100 wasps had stung my face. My immediate reaction was I was not going to die, but I wondered if I would be blinded. My other brother ran over and held up some fingers and asked me if I could see them and I told him how many he was holding up. (The answer was not one, either). That alleviated my fears, 4 hrs later I arrived at our town's hospital as we had to drive home. (My father was w/ us and he was a physician). Apparently a lead shot had ricocheted near my eye and detached my retina and because it was lead shot (believe it or not) and not steel shot, they could leave the pellet in the eye. This was preferrable since it was lodged very close to the optic nerve. They decided to bandage both my eyes and leave me very quiet in hospital (maternity ward!!!) away from other playful children so that I would remain quiet myself. So I was resolved to lying on my L side for 2 wks without turning my head, etc. I am fine now and have fairly good vision. In length, I have not a clue why I see the "blue light special", but I do too!
Honestly, gbh

Blue Flashes In Eyes
I suffer from this affliction (blue neon flashes very small, intermittent)and belive it may be due to two possible factors (in my case) Firstly I am diabetic (Type 2) and belive it could be due to poor diet giving me poor sugar control, ie high blood sugars, secondly I think it could be due to trappeed nerves in the neck as mine isnt great and my father also suffered similar flashes, but not blue, and his seemed to be caused by the vertabrae in his neck being misaligned.

Blue lights in vision
Hi guys!
I have only recently been getting the pretty blue flashes. It's been happening now for about 7 months but only recently have they appeared in my vision around 20 times a day. That's a lot! I must add, I'm a healthy 27 year female and have no other things going on with my health and to be honest I don't think this blue light stuff is anything to worry about at all. In fact, I embrace it - I think they're so pretty. Who know's it could be us being able to see our own aura..or indeed angles (orbs) of some sort. Who knows but my gutt instinct is that it's nothing to worry about. I also have girl friend of mine who's the same age as me with no health problems and has also started to see these blue lights on a regular basis too! We're certainly not alone. I say, enjoy them. They're beautiful!
I hope this helps...

I can see well but also see frequently a blue flashing light
Hi, I'm 35 years old latin lady, and have the same flashing blue light. I can see well, I had an accident which concerned my left eye when I was a 11 without consequences though.
I visited my eye doctor after starting to have these flashes and he couldn't find anything wrong.

Eye Problems and Autoimmuine Disease.
Several times I have seen every light around me turn bright neon green. Pretty frightening if you're driving at night. I also have a severe balance problem - fall a lot, have blind spots in my left eye, double vision, rapid loss of vision, eye infections, floaters, eye (ball) ulcers, shimmering white light (like small stars), and temporary partial white light blindness.
The above symptoms are due to a rare autoimmune disease I have, called Behcet's Syndrome. Balance and eye problems are two of the symptoms. There are also neurological symptoms associated with Behcet's, which could account for the neon lights I see.
Some of the other symptoms of Behcet's are mouth sores, genital sores, persistant rashes (sores) on thighs, chest, stomach and other areas of the body. Joint pain, fatigue, headaches with stiff neck, joint pain (not always associated w/ athritis), breathing problems (it affeccts the lungs), vein blow-outs, GI disease, numbness in the limbs, phlebitis, central nervous symptoms. Actually, it can affect any part of the body.
Behcet's is classed as one of the rare (in America). Behcets syndrome (BS) is a systemic vasculitis that is common in the old Silk Route
(East, South, and Western Asia, Mediterranea, and parts of N and E. Africa), but rare in northern Europe and the US. It is being diagnosed more and more in America, probably due to mixed ethnicity. It is more common to women in America and more common to men in the Silk Road regions. My paternal ethnicity is Mediterranea Jewish.
Like Lupus, most of the symptoms comes in "flares" lasting from 10 to 14 days. Some people have flu-like symptoms just before a flare. It may take years to diagnose (over 30 years in my case) because of the multiple symptoms, and because few doctors in America are really educated about it yet. I see at least 5 doctors for the different symptoms. Behcet's can go into remission, sometimes for many mohts or years. Then it can return in full force.
There is no diagnostic test for Behcets disease. It is normally diagnosed by symptoms. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), C9 and/or C3, C4 complements may be elevated during the active phases of disease. Immunoglobulins (IgM and IgG) may be elevated and immune complex are also found in serum of some patients.

first thing you should do is go on a vegan diet and start from there - God designed us to live in the Garden of Eden and all this "modern" food i most of our problem - it may take awhile to reverse the damage but we are incredibly made and you should try it.

Mygraine kaleidoscope lights that scare you because you know the pain to follow , are not the same - these little blue wormy lights I think are harmless - occur mainly with the change of blood pressure to my head , like when I stand to have a shower. I have all the Coeliac symptoms so they may be associated with depletion in the diet - and are decreasing with my now virtually vegan diet.

A/C will only blow through defrost vents
What Happened?!?
I turned on my A/C the other day and for some reason on every setting, it only blows up on my windshield...as if it's going to defrost it.
When you select any other vent, floor, etc setting it keeps it pointed straight to the windshield.
Is there any way I blew a fuse or something or an arm is stuck somewhere?
It's a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, V8.
If the air is still cold you have a vacuum leak. Jeeps default to defrost if there's a vacuum leak. Check the "T" fitting by the firewall first, then all of the vacuum hoses.
+1 to it being most likely vac lines. Same thing happened to me and it ended up being the vac line coming from the bottom of the battery tray.
+1 on this, the way they do the HVAC controls I dread the day I have to work on this. Everytime I change the air direction the nightmare of helping a firend with this years ago goes through my head. Easy system once you learn it, but the learning curve messed with me trying to diagnose the dang thing. I keep a special stick on reserve for the engineers that decided to use vacuum to control HVAC controls.
What am I looking at if I have a pro fix this? I'm thinking this might eclipse my mechanical skills...
I've got no clue what a vacuum hose looks like and wouldn't have the foggiest idea of where to begin.
If I could locate this "T" fitting, what would I look for? An actual crack or leak?
Dumb question, (get ready): If it's leaking, would it be leaking cold air? Fluid? Magical pixie dust?
I was checking around looking for a fix with the TValve and I snapped one of the mini vacuum hoses coming from the firewall.
HOW ON EARTH am I going to replace this? It's as thin as a coffee straw. It looks like it's impossible to get to b/c it's surrounded by bigger cables and is a really tight area.

The Advanced stores here in Colorado carry the vacuum lines and the little Ts and junctions your looking for. The few stores I been here are all in the same spot near the motor oil on a rotating rack next to the oil plugs. Any auto parts should have these not just Advance.
You can get them in all shapes and sizes. In most cases you buy a verity pack and may only use a few of the pack itself. Vacuum lines are fairly simple to understand. Your engine makes vacuum and the vacuum is used to run some devises on your jeep. You just dont want any leaks in any of the lines. Hoses that are cracked need to be replaced and plastic Ts and such need to be replaced if brittle and break easy. If there is a one-way valve I would just replace them at the same time. You could buy and replace the full lines and fittings from start to finish for less then $20 I would think. They dont cost much. Hard part is finding them and then getting to them in some spots.
If it was me I would just re-do all the lines because if you have one leak more are close behind but you can just follow the line and do a quick fix on the leaks you see right now. Just run your fingers lightly over hoses to feel the suction in bad spots and a lot of times you can hear the suction its making witch makes it easy to find.
The Ts and the connectors may not look the same as what you take out but as long as they are the same size and fit snugly into the vacuum hose you can use whatever works as long as it holds the vacuum. Get some tie straps and tie strap them out of the way so they dont hit hot spots like exhaust or what not or rub against things and slowly wear holes in them.
Hope that helps?
Me too..
I have the same issue. I figured it would be a vacuum issue.
Quick Question- Could this also be the culprit behind my engine revving at idle for no reason?
So, I had a mechanic fix this for me about a year ago...and now it's back. And, I'm driving to work in the DC humidity and sweating my beezos off on the 45 minute drive!
To find this suspect vacuum hose, I have to remove the battery and look for a 1/4" hose that's hidden underneath?
Also, can somebody explain what a vacuum system is? I mean, I assume that it uses air pressure to move a flap in and out that directs the air...anybody know where this flap is? Is it accessible?
Vacuum leaks aren't hard to find, and your problem is common. If you want help, I'm in Falls Church and always willing to help out a fellow jeeper ... mostly daytime hours or Wed evening. I can show you how to test your vacuum with a gauge, show you the vacuum lines, show you how to test for a vacuum leak, and who knows? We might even find your problem. :)
You CAN NOT drive around DC without A/C. :P
($95 diagnostic and he might take it off of labor depending on what it needs when he's done)
Do you ever go trail riding in the NOVA area? I've got a buddy with a Wrangler who both of us are looking for places to get some dirt on our tires without driving 3+ hours to get to.
So I have a very similar problem - and I live in Northern VA , Loudoun County - but my AC goes to the defrost vent only as I'm accelerating. Vacuum line also?
Yep, especially since you have the Laredo which should be manual HVAC controls, and I also have a 96 4.0.
Start at the drivers side of the intake where the main vacuum line attaches. Then follow it across the firewall towards the passenger side and you'll see a "T" where the small black plastic line goes through the firewall next to one of the evaporator tubes and this goes into your HVAC control. If you continue to follow the main line past the "T" on the firewall it will make a front turn and is right on the inside of the fender. From there it's connected to the to the speed control servo (cruise control) with another "T" then follows fender where it eventually goes under the battery tray where it's connected to the bottom of the battery box, which is a vacuum reservoir, by a rubber hose which tends to rot/come off. Inspect this whole line for breaks in it or bad hose connections. Also make sure the battery tray is not cracked on the sides/bottom which will also cause the controls to go to default defrost.
If you can't find any vacuum leaks in the engine compartment listen for them inside the dash with the engine running, the control turned on, and the fan off. I've actually repaired the small broken lines behind the dash with the empty ink tube out of a bic-type pen, cut the broken part out of the line, slightly heat the ends of the lines, shove about a 3/4" piece of empty ink tube in, then use good electrical tape on it. Leak has never surfaced again and control works fine. It should also be noted sometime those controls go bad. Good luck.
You guys were right, it was in a vacuum line...
I got home last night and decided to try and fine this line that goes up under my batter, who designed that btw?
I found it, took the battery and tray out inspected the line and the box that it goes into, didn't see any abnormal wear and tear. I did happen to have extra hose laying around so I just replaced that section...what is that box btw?
So then I followed it back to the firewall. Where the hose T's off, there is a thin hose that shoots up into the firewall. Somehow, somewhere that tiny hose snapped.
Now, from the T, the tiny hose fit into a thicker outer hose. So I removed that hose and noticed that the firewall part of the hose broke off inside of the larger housing hose. I tweezed that piece out...struggled to get my fat hands back there against the burning engine block, etc...and inserted the tiny tube into the larger tube.
I was 100% skeptical that it would work. I put the key in, turned it on and in about 5 or 10 seconds the thing started pumping out of the dash vents.
Eureka! Now...anybody got any tips on re-juicing my AC system so it's like a meat locker when I drive?
Thanks for the advice fellas, worked out fine...:cheers2:
(But I love them).
*Glad you solved the problem!

For months last fall, a movie producer's commute by helicopter woke babies, rattled windows and alarmed dogs in a quiet, leafy neighborhood near a landing pad atop a hotel.
Residents finally breathed a sigh of relief when the California Department of Transportation intervened, and Ryan Kavanaugh, chief executive of Relativity Media, stopped using the helipad meant for emergencies, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.
But now, the Sofitel Hotel plans to apply for a permit to allow non-emergency use of the helipad, the newspaper said.
"We didn't move next to an airport," resident Ali Behzad told the Times. "We moved next to a hotel."
All buildings over 75-feet tall in Los Angeles are required to have a rooftop helipad for emergency use. Any other use requires a special permit.
Residents complained to state officials last November about Kavanaugh's use of the helipad for his commute from Malibu to the west side of Los Angeles. A month later, the Sofitel was ordered to end improper helicopter activity.
Kavanaugh immediately stopped using the helipad after being informed of the permitting issue and will not land anywhere else in the city unless the proper permits are in place, his spokesman Adam Keen said.
Keen said the company does not plan on using the Sofitel helipad in the future and has not received any complaints.
Sofitel General Manager Gunther Zweimuller told the Times the hotel is looking at offering helipad use as an additional amenity for guests.
Hours and flight times would be limited, and residents were told flight paths would avoid the neighborhood.
Still, residents say they oppose any expanded use of the helipad.
Zweimuller did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press seeking further comment.
Kavanaugh, 36, is known as a high-flying Hollywood producer. His company's latest release is the thriller "Limitless." Its other recent films include: "Battle Los Angeles," "The Fighter" and "Little Fockers."

My first mobile 'phone was one of these. I got it second hand at a time when it was already really old (the thing came out in 1995, I got it in 2003/04) but it was still brilliant! The reception was amazing - it was able to find signal when no other 'phone could and still make calls with it (I remember at one point discovering it was using nearby power lines to access signal!). It was pretty much indestructable too - most 'phones these days take water damage and die but this was fine once you dried it! Obviously functionality was rather limited - everything was stored on the SIM, so that meant 100 names in the address book and 20 messages, but it had a really clever way to quickly access the address book - every entry had a unique ID, type the ID followed by # and that ould represent the number! While you couldn't add more ringtones, the 14 that were on there were fantastic! Possibly the best feature though was the fact that you could get a reading of the state of the battery IN VOLTS! It was details like that, combined with the beauty of the design, that made this a terrific 'phone. The only thing it was really missing was a clock. Had it had that, it would have been perfect (and I'd give it 5 stars).

Regions Hospital says it believes there was a second set of stillborn baby remains in a basket of linens sent to a laundry earlier this week.
On Wednesday Regions officials confirmed the body of a stillborn baby at the 22-week gestational age found at a Red Wing commercial laundry came from the hospital's morgue.
This afternoon Region's chief nursing officer Christine Boese said in a statement the hospital had checked its records and found there were other remains unaccounted for.
She says the linen basket probably also held the remains of a stillborn baby at 19 weeks gestational age.
"We have now ruled out that those remains went to the funeral home or to another location. A tragic human error was made and we believe both sets of remains were mistaken as empty linens and placed in the laundry at the same time by a hospital worker," Boese said.
Boese says Regions thought it had procedures in place to prevent such mistakes. She says the hospital takes full responsibility and has made changes to make sure a similar mistake isn't made again.
Boese says Regions has reviews all its records from last year and all other stillborn remains are accounted for.

Conservatives Beating Bill Nye the Global Warming Guy, But Obama to the Rescue
- Share
- Tweet
- Comment Now 0
Bill Nye "the Science Guy" and CNN are a bit miffed at all those global warming scoffers. They are winning the public debate, beating the "consensus" opinion that global warming — or globaloney — is poised to destroy the planet.
Nye and CNN host Carol Costello both dismissed any climate change skeptics with Costello claiming that "politicization" and a willful disbelief in global warming consensus was helping to ruin that cherished science. Costello also worried that skeptics were "winning."
In a July 2 appearance on CNN's Newsroom, host Carol Costello warmed Nye up driving straight for the idea that "the weather" has become "incredibly politicized" and asked Bill Nye to respond to charges that he was just a "kooky guy who doesn't know what he's talking about."
Nye defended himself saying, "I can read graphs" and went on to claim that the left's beloved consensus was true because, well, that is "just how it is."
It is interesting to note that neither Costello nor Nye seemed to think that left-wing, global warming supporters were engaging in any "politicizing" of the issue. Curiously, neither mentioned Climategate, the now infamous series of emails released by whistleblowers that proved that global warming supporters were engaging in a monumental political campaign in order to keep the money flowing to their research projects, a campaign that made the lie to the "science" of global warming.
Nye also seemed to be selling the idea that after the upcoming presidential election, Obama would come to the aid of globalonyists in his second term.
Host Costello worried that the "people who are politicizing" global warming seemed to be "winning" the issue and beating back supporters of climate change. She thought this was true, "because not much is being done on the issue of climate change even though President Obama promised that, you know, back in the day, 2008."

But Nye thought it would be Obama to the rescue once he wins reelection. (See transcript)
Well, I think you're going to have to wait. I mean, I'm not — I think you're going to have to wait until after the election. By the way, if you're a voter, consider taking the — the environment into account as well as the economy. Consider including the environment. I think the two candidates running for president right now have very different views about the validity, for example, of science and the importance of it and what you would do about climate change in the coming years.
Nye then went on to say that we'd solve global warming the same way we invented the iPhone. Though, since the left's ideas of "solving" global warming is to destroy society's capability to make and invent thinks like iPhones, one finds the analogy a bit lacking.
Nye also blamed Christians for perpetrating the success of global warming denial. "We have an enormous population of people in the United States who don't believe in evolution the fundamental idea in all of life science," he said icily. "It would be like saying I don't believe in earthquakes or something."
What was Nye's proof that we have global warming? Well, he informed host Costello that we have had, "16 warmest years on record over the last 17."
So, 16 out of the last several millions of years have been hot so that means we have global warming?
Ah, that must be the "science" of consensus.

This script is Copyright (C) 2013-2014 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
Synopsis :
The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security
Description :
It was found that PHP did not properly handle file names with a NULL
character. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to make a
PHP script access unexpected files and bypass intended file system
access restrictions. (CVE-2006-7243)
It was found that PHP did not check for carriage returns in HTTP
headers, allowing intended HTTP response splitting protections to be
bypassed. Depending on the web browser the victim is using, a remote
attacker could use this flaw to perform HTTP response splitting
attacks. (CVE-2011-1398)
A flaw was found in PHP's SSL client's hostname identity check when
handling certificates that contain hostnames with NULL bytes. If an
attacker was able to get a carefully crafted certificate signed by a
trusted Certificate Authority, the attacker could use the certificate
to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks to spoof SSL servers.
An integer signedness issue, leading to a heap-based buffer underflow,
was found in the PHP scandir() function. If a remote attacker could
upload an excessively large number of files to a directory the
scandir() function runs on, it could cause the PHP interpreter to
crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-2688)
It was found that PHP did not correctly handle the magic_quotes_gpc
configuration directive. This could result in magic_quotes_gpc input
escaping not being applied in all cases, possibly making it easier for
a remote attacker to perform SQL injection attacks. (CVE-2012-0831)
It was found that the PHP SOAP parser allowed the expansion of
external XML entities during SOAP message parsing. A remote attacker
could possibly use this flaw to read arbitrary files that are
accessible to a PHP application using a SOAP extension.
After installing the updated packages, the httpd daemon must be
restarted for the update to take effect.

Okay, California Pacific Airlines ready again
FAA-certified, but start dates out of Carlsbad airport uncertain (psst, April)
Ken Harrison 8:30 a.m., Nov. 18
(Page 2 of 2)
Encina anticipates supplying biofuel to a cement company sometime this summer, when the company's equipment has been adapted to burn the alternative fuel. And Hogan expects that in the next few months an agreement will be reached with local municipalities to use the pellets for fertilizer.
Although Hogan doubts Encina will make a profit selling the pellets, there are other benefits. "We're not going to generate enough revenue to offset operating costs, but that $2.2 million we spent in transportation costs becomes much smaller."
It will be the end to sending five truckloads of biosolids to Yuma County every week, which is a good thing, says Yuma County environmental health manager Rick Stacks.
"I'm one of those believers that thinks if California generates it, they ought to treat it themselves, instead of shipping it off to someone else. Instead, they'd rather flush it, then forget it."
Biosolids, my aspidistra. Full of toxic st. Save the millions of subsidies and spread the wealth rather than concentrate it. Composting toilets, if they weren't opposed by the st lobbyists, could do better more efficiently. At least it's your own and you know what's in it.
You know what's in your own only if you know what kinds of drugs are currently running through your city's water. How much progesterone, methamphetamine, how many flavors of antibiotic...

Folk art featuring saints and Clinton
Not to be confused with the chicken neck-wringing, mojo-flinging local sort, these santeros are artists who hail from the American Southwest. "I think this exhibit -- in a Miami context used to Afro-Cuban Santería -- is interesting, but these santeros create unusual work that has rarely been seen here," explains curator Elizabeth Cerejido of the Frost Art Museum's new show.
See/Be Seen
"The Saint Makers: A Living Tradition in American Folk Art," opening tonight at 8:00, features nearly 80 bultos and retablos from the Chuck and Jan Rosenak Collection, created by contemporary artists from New Mexico and Colorado. Influenced by European Baroque art and its religious iconography, the santero tradition dates to the 1700s and has evolved in modern times to depict quirky motifs such as Nicholas Herrera's sardonic interpretation of President Clinton's visitation by the Virgin Monica (left). Slick Willie, is that a miracle in your pocket or are you just happy to see us? The works are on view through December 4 at the Frost Art Museum at FIU, SW 107th Avenue and Eighth Street.

Astronaut Ice Cream Is Real
"The space program isn't real, it's just a movie," a friend's mom once tried to tell us. We shook our heads and continue to make fun of her to this day. But for those who still believe that the moonwalks took place in the comfort of a Hollywood sound stage, the new IMAX 3-D film Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D will give them more fodder for their case. Presented and narrated by the less slobbery half of Turner & Hooch, Tom Hanks, the film melds previously unreleased NASA footage with CGI imaging and live-action renditions to put you on the moon right next to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Fly to the moon today through November 13 at the Museum of Discover & Science Blockbuster IMAX Theater, 401 SW Second St., Fort Lauderdale. Tickets range from $12 to $14. Call 954-463-4629, or visit www.mods.org for showtimes and a schedule of special events. -- Lyssa Oberkreser

We already have some of the highest registration fees in the nation. It certainly it makes more sense to charge more for heavier vehicles but the percentage increase on an older vehicle is a bit of a jolt. I would be curious to see if a $.02 increase in the fuel tax wouldn't actually generate FAR more revenue since it would have visitors paying their "share" of road usage (while costing residents less)
So I agree that as time goes on we need to increase revenue as costs increase BUT I also have an issue with the way the money is currently being spent. Over the past few year I have watched several road projects and was dumbfounded by the "waste".
Medians built and then ripped out again a year later ... landscaping that is installed ... dies .. and replaced only to die again. Along that same line ... what about "pretty" bridges ... seriously WTF? Does anybody here live a better life by driving under or over an ornate bridge? How about the decorative sound barrier walls .... sure plain concrete is unattractive but should we really be looking away from the road enough to notice?
Honestly I have NEVER understood why we worry about that stuff. While I concede that others may feel it is important now that costs are up and revenue is down ... we need to quit wasting money on them.

How many of us who imbibe in the water of the barley recipe want to have a BAC meter tapped right into our arteries? And when the BAC goes over an amount designated by the government the police show up and fine or arrest you? Not me. If I want to get stupid drunk in my own home by myself, I want to know I can make that choice as freely as I wish. Granted, if I were to disturb the neighbors, then somebody has an argument to whether or not I should be confronted to cease what I am doing that disturbs.
Point being, this idea that every citizen owes X amount regardless is phooey.

It is always hard to justify making architecture look nicer in the face of the "It's a waste of money" argument. But if everything was made to the cheapest standard available, all buildings would be made of gray concrete with only enough windows for fire safety. Bridges would all look the same: boring, flat, lifeless. Everything would look like it was constructed in East Germany under communist rule. Horrible.
Life isn't about saving every penny all the time. Every time I drive under the new bridges on I-25, I smile. They look nice: elegant and refined. They look better than what they replaced (which is always my standard for tearing down old stuff). They will likely stand for 50-100 years, and people will still enjoy and appreciate the care and design that went into them long after we're dead and the T-Rex debt has been retired.
The sound barrier walls have a strange design on them, but at least they tried. It's still better than flat concrete. If money was no object, I'm sure we'd all love red brick covered with ivy, but obviously that would be cost prohibitive. Stamping the flat concrete with a design probably didn't add much to the cost but it definitely improved the visual appeal.
Here are a few public works projects were someone didn't choose the cheapest option. They took engineering and make it art. I love stuff like this.
Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge , Brasilia , Brazil
The JK Bridge in Brasilia is a lesson in elegant bridge design. The 3 huge arches diagonally hopping over the deck of the bridge give the structure an amazing visual fluidity and make the whole 1.2km bridge look effortlessly cool. Since being built the bridge has won awards for its design but is still massively underappreciated on a wider scale.
Rolling Bridge, London , UK
Thomas heatherwick's award-winning rolling bridge is an ingenious addition to the grand union canal system in London and is unique in its design. Unlike regular movable canal bridges, the rolling bridge curls up on itself to form an octagon by way of hydraulics. It's an amazing sight and a reminder that a fresh perspective can produce great, innovative results, even when dealing with a structure as common as a bridge.
When I plan vacations to cities, I always want to go see the architecture. Every piece makes a difference. Not every bridge will be celebrated as a design icon, but if thousands of people see it everyday, it's worth making it nice. IMHO, of course.

Where is that P.O.T.s telephone I have again? Gotta get that thing back.
Commercially it should be, and probably already is, in use for most companies for who it would make the most sense. Tracking employees performance should be one of the managers primary tools for improvement, so why not? Like I always say, when the cat's away the mice will play. Most employees don't realize that they loose the guarantee of their liberties when at work, unless they are in a protected class. The only real "right" employees have is to quit. Working for the man who uses big brother? Don't like it? Quit.
Living at home and big brother is watching? Don't like it? Throw the cell phone, the DSL line, the cable and the DTV converter box all in the trash for spring cleanup.But then you're relying on someone else to tell you when the next RS run is.

If private enterprise chooses to build for aesthetics, I applaud the effort. Believe it or not I had considered becoming an architect and love the beauty in buildings. I have even taken vacations just to see Frank Lloyd Wright structures. I just don't feel that the expense it is appropriate in most road/bridge projects. If a structure's asthetic has a function, then I am all for it. Decoration for the sake of decoration should be avoided ( if you hadn't guessed I'm a "form follows function " guy). Yes, I would hate to see all government buildings bland and lifeless but in some cases it is perfectly suitable.

Kevin Durant scored 42 points, Russell Westbrook had 27 points and 10 assists, and the Thunder easily sent the short-handed Lakers to their sixth straight loss, 116-101 last night in Los Angeles.
Kevin Martin scored 15 points and hit three 3-pointers for the Thunder, who romped to a 27-point lead in the second half of their seventh win in nine games. The Thunder (28-8) matched the Clippers for the NBA's best record with a virtuoso game from Durant, who had 38 points midway through the third quarter.
Kobe Bryant, who earlier confirmed on Facebook he and his wife, Vanessa, have called off their divorce, scored 28 for the Lakers, on their first six-game skid since March 2007.
Antawn Jamison added 19 points as the Lakers looked lost and overmatched in their third straight game without starting big men Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol.
Celtics 103, Rockets 91
In Boston, Paul Pierce scored 16 of his 23 points in the second half and Kevin Garnett added 17 points and four blocks as the Celtics nearly blew a 17-point lead before pulling away late.
The Celtics extended their season-high winning streak to five games, but only after surviving a 12-0 run that pulled the Rockets within two points midway through the fourth quarter.
Rajon Rondo had 12 points and eight assists, and Jared Sullinger had 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Celtics.
James Harden led the Rockets with 24 points, ending a run of 14 straight games scoring 25 or more.
Grizzlies 101, Spurs 98 (OT)
In Memphis, Tenn., Rudy Gay hit a pull-up jumper from 14 feet with 27.8 seconds left, and the Grizzlies held off the Spurs in overtime for their fourth straight victory.
Tony Parker forced overtime, beating the buzzer with a 27-footer tying it at 95. He also opened overtime with a 3-pointer that turned out to be the Spurs' only bucket as San Antonio went 1 of 10 from the floor.

Breathe new life into any bass by replacing its stock pickup with a DiMarzio Model P. This hum-cancelling two-piece pickup brings big, punchy sound to Fender Precision Bass-style basses.
The DiMarzio Model P accurately reproduces the sound of your bass with added gain and solid tone. DiMarzio Model P pickups cut through the band without sacrificing bottom-end power. Gutsy mid-range provides growl when the bass is pushed hard. Combine the DiMarzio Model P with a bridge position DiMarzio Model J or Ultra Jazz to achieve any tone from a tight mid-range punch to a warm bottom-end with bright, clear attack.

This is an 18" American Girl Doll in need of a little TLC. I am not sure if this is the Historic Kirsten doll or a Just Like You doll with her same features. She has long blonde hair with bangs and small shorter hairs along back. She has bright blue eyes that open and close great with all eyelashes intact. Her cloth body is very clean and are her arms. The back of her neck is stamped Pleasant company 40 C3. Her limbs are all tight and she can stand and pose on her own. Her neckstrings are long and uncut and she does not have an x's anywhere on her body. Her face is clean with a couple faint light spots but nothing major or that takes away from her. Overall with clothes on she looks great!! Now the reasons she needs a little TLC. Her legs and tips of her fingers have a blueish dyed tint to them. My daughter left a pair of black stretchy non-american girl pants on her for a while and when we took them off this is what her legs looked like. I have tried to clean it off but I could not get it off... I have heard there is a way to get it off with some kins of oxy but I have not tried that. Or she could be sent back to AG for her legs. She can still be played with as she is since you do not see the messed up legs while her clothes are on. I was so sad to see this happen to her..My daughter has several AG dolls and no longer plays with... read more

When you bite into one of the current harvest of Hill Country peaches, make sure you have a napkin handy. The juice is sweet and abundant, and it'll likely flow down your chin and all over your hand.
Eating a peach out of hand can't be beat, but there are five easy recipes to dress up these beauties in desserts your whole family will love.
Grilled Peaches: Cut freestone peaches in half and remove the pit. Melt butter, a little brown sugar or agave nectar, and a dash of cherry, peach or rhubarb bitters, if desired, together. Brush the cut side of the peaches with the butter and lay on the grill until warn and soft. When you remove the peaches from the grill, brush with a little more butter.
Marinated Peaches and Cherries: Cut up pitted peaches and cherries. Soak in a little orjeat, an almond syrup; amaretto or Frangelico. Top with whipped cream. Drizzle a little of the syrup or liquor over the whipped cream.
Easy Peach Ice Cream: Let your favorite vanilla ice cream, such as Blue Bell or Haagen-Dazs Five, warm up slightly. Put it in a blender with slices of fresh peaches and mix them slightly. If you want it soft, just serve it that way with a spoon. Or put it in the freezer for a few minutes and let it harden slightly. When you're ready to serve it, drizzle a little cherry syrup or amaretto on top. (Or go all out and make it a milkshake with added milk.)
Peach Shortcake: Slice pitted peaches and macerate them in a little sugar. Spoon peaches and juice on sliced pound cake, angel food cake, biscuits or even cornbread. Top with whipped cream and drizzle a fruity balsamic reduction, such as one flavored with figs, on the side.
Peachy Smoothie: Pit a peach and toss it in a blender with watermelon, Greek yogurt or frozen yogurt, and either honey or agave nectar, to taste.
Don't forget that the Quarry Farmers and Ranchers Market, 255 E. Basse Road, is celebrating the peach each Sunday this month. Items available during Everything Peach include fried peach hand pies, peach ice cream, peach smoothies, peach preserves (sweet and savory), peach Melba pie, peach sorbet, peaches and cream popsicles, peach lemonade, peach ginger pie, peach frangipane tarts, peach cake, peach-apricot-saffron macaron, meat pie with peachy accoutrement, peach-pecan and bourbon bread pudding, peach chevre and more.

DIXON � With the holiday break in the rear view mirror, Dixon wrestling coach Daniel O�Dell was concerned about what he might see in front of him Friday night when the unbeaten Bulldogs opened play in the East Central 2-A Conference.
DIXON � With the holiday break in the rear view mirror, Dixon wrestling coach Daniel O�Dell was concerned about what he might see in front of him Friday night when the unbeaten Bulldogs opened play in the East Central 2-A Conference.
Not to worry.
Dixon took care of business, taking advantage of four forfeits and earning five pins in rolling to a 70-6 victory over the young Monarchs, who while only earning one win turned in several other hard-fought matches.
�I think they did well considering we just came off a big break,� O�Dell said. �We just had practice on the first, second and today. So I was a little worried about kids making weight and being in shape, but they did well.
�Northside did a good job trying not to get pinned and things like that. But everybody did exactly what I was hoping they would do. We�ve been working some stuff at practice and they were all trying it today. So I�m excited going to Washington tomorrow for the duals.�
Halfway through the match, which started at 106 pounds, Dixon (6-0, 2-0) and Northside (3-7, 0-2) had the same number of pins � one, even though the Bulldogs had a commanding 28-6 lead.
But Dixon had second-period pins at 152 (Austin Antinori), 170 (Seth Schoonover) and 182 (Bradley Schoenecker) along with a first-period pin at 220 (Tyler Hudson) while Northside didn�t score a point in the last seven weight classes.
The match was a return home for Northside first-year coach Josh Condry, a 2004 Dixon graduate who wrestled for the Bulldogs at 189 and 215.
�I know what their mentality is here. I have a complete respect for this program and I�m glad to see it prosper the way it has, and I�m trying to get Northside to be the same way,� Condry said. �We�re a very new group. We�ve got two juniors, three sophomores and the rest are freshmen.�
One of the most competitive matches of the night was at 126, where in a battle of juniors, Dixon�s Zach Kahl edged Northside�s Douglas Bulla 6-4, while at 132 Dixon junior Teva Smith won 5-0 over sophomore Nate Luna in a bout that was just 2-0 after two periods.
�The kid was very, very strong,� O�Dell said of Luna. �It seemed like he (Smith) did so much work and he never really got any points from it. So I�m sure that was getting frustrating but he kept with it and kept plugging away and ended up doing pretty well at the end.�
Northside�s only win came at 138, where John McCann pinned Christian Yuhas with 50 seconds left in the first period.
McCann, a junior, is one of several veterans � Bulla and senior Joseph Locke are among the others � Condray is counting on to help lead the program.
�My core group has worked well together,� Condray said. �They come from a strong background with helping each other out at practice, making sure that they focus together. we�re trying to pull everybody together as an entire team to be strong like that.�
Dixon, meanwhile, continued to look strong heading into this weekend�s Eli Saleeby Duals at Washington High School and then a big ECC match against perennial state power Croatan on Tuesday before the Onslow County Cup next Saturday.
Now, O�Dell said, is the time for the Bulldogs to start gearing it up for a strong conference run heading into regionals and the state championships.
�Pretty much I look at January as our postseason. Matches in December are important, but we get a nice little break and we come back and this is where it all really starts to count,� he said. �You get the two pounds (weight allowance Dec. 25) and you get to figure out where everybody�s going to be for the regionals and state.�
Dixon 70, Northside 6

Everybody loves, or loves to hate, a good listicle. Some of them are subjective, well, most of them are subjective, especially since the majority of them lead with titles like 'best,' but there are those that skew towards the objective. Nitpicking arguments aside (inflation, number of screens), posts about the tops at the box office or TV ratings tend to sway toward the factual.
Listicles are also, however, always in flux, since superhero teams fighting on summer screens can instantly shake things up, not to mention the endless stream of series' coming and going on the small screen. The Big Spoiler blog, one man's quest to write a thousand words a day for a thousand days, posted an article a few days past that not only listed the most up to date top 100 series finales (by number of viewers) but also decided to throw in a ten word spoiler for each concluding installment. The author does have a quota to make after all, even if ten words doesn't always afford 'Marty' the chance to fully tie up every character thread.
The list is still an amusing read that reminds me of the book "90 Classic Books for People in a Hurry" by Henrik Lange, a comic (in all senses of the word) text that spoils literary tentpoles in 4 strips. If you want to check out the entire 100 entries, the list is full of surprises, both in terms of what made the cut (Highway to Heaven) and what didn't (Buffy The Vampire Slayer). The top ten are included below. SPOILERS. Obviously.

The Edimax WP-S1100 is a wireless media streamer that connects to your projector or high definition television and relays compressed video files from your wireless-enabled PC or laptop computer.
It requires a small amount of networking know-how but once set up it is an easy solution for broadcasting from your computer to a projector or TV.
The Edimax WP-S1100 mimics a normal wireless router in looks, with a body the size of a DVD case and two thick wireless antennas. It will easily hide out of place behind your television screen or projector, although it has an internal fan that can be heard if the room you're in is quiet.
HDMI and VGA ports on the player's rear connect to a variety of 4:3 and 16:9 resolutions, including Full HD 1080p. There's also a USB port and an RJ45 socket for a wired network connection.
To get the Edimax WP-S1100 up and running is an intensive process for anyone unfamiliar with computer networking. The quick start guide is simple enough to follow, though - if you've got a spare half hour, you should have no problems. After connecting your computer to the Edimax WP-S1100, a small download is necessary to install the Edimax media player software.
Once installed, the software presents an option to switch between presentation mode and a media player - optimised for video playback. It's easy to select a video file on your computer within the software and hit the play button, from there the WP-S1100 takes over and plays the video file.
Home entertainment reviews and advice
Picture quality is perfectly fine, with no obvious degradation from the source content. One problem we encountered was a lack of playback controls when watching video content - the file can be paused by entering the on-screen menu, but there's no option to fast forward or rewind. The Edimax WP-S1100 supports a range of file formats in MPEG1/2/4 containers including DivX and similarly popular codecs, while h.264 support is great for high definition video files.
We tested it with video files ranging in quality from 480p DVD quality to 720p and 1080p high definition formats - when broadcasting from a 802.11n-enabled laptop there were no drop-outs or stuttering issues.
Edimax's WP-S1100 media streamer relies heavily on a PC for content to be selected and played back - it has no ability to search a network for files remotely. With this caveat in mind, it does its job well - so if you're a competent PC user looking for a way to connect your projector or TV without unsightly cables, Edimax has created a simple, complication-free solution.
NEXT: our expert verdict >>

Hello, C++ novice back again, and I now have a new question which I can't seem to find a clear answer to on the Internet.
First of all, I'm trying to write a functional text editor, and I'm wondering how to get my program to recognize a key combination (<ctrl>+O for opening files, for example) and using that information to preform whatever function. However, the problem is, I don't know how C++ handles key combinations.
Could somebody help me by informing me of a function that can preform key combinations? Thank you for taking your time.

Insights and Challenges about the use of VNA on Airport/Hinterland Linkages
Airport operators, planners and regulatory agencies to measure the economic contribution of an airport to its local and regional surroundings, frequently use economic impact studies. The most common methods to measure airport economic impacts have been the Input-Output method, the Collection of Benefits method and most recently the Catalytic method. The most used measured variables include employment, wages, local and regional spending and air traffic levels. This paper is a new approach to these impact studies in which is used a new tool to identify the added values generated within airports and surrounding community interactions to better catch real socio-economic impacts. The VNA – Value Network Analysis, is used as an integrated methodology to identify these interactions and added values generated (tangibles and intangibles) in the business system of landside airports. To define the system it is used the matrix key airport performance benchmarking areas of ACI (Airport Council International) that are in the range of landside of the airport. Key words: Social Networks, Airport Landside, Value Network Analysis, Key Performance Indicators, Business System.
